Hello! I know about XPOSED mod XPrivacy:
XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy sensitive data by restricting the categories of data an application can access. XPrivacy feeds applications fake data or no data at all. It can restrict several data categories, such as contacts or location. For example, if you restrict an application's access to contacts, that application will receive an empty contacts list. Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location will send a fake location to that application.

But xposed will not be available for Android N in the nearest future(
Is there any analog of this mod for magisk?
And it sounds cool if I could allow app to have access to my files, but restrict it to its virtual folder or some analog.
No.
If you can find a way to do it without Xposed, you can use Magisk to make that mod systemless. Magisk can't do something like that by itself.
Magisk - Makes system modifications systemless.
Xposed - A system modification.

Hi,
I am currently using Cognition 4.4.8 by Design Gears. I understand he has implemented some sort of ad blocking which blocks ads in many apps and it seems some websites.
Now I love this in some apps, but there are others (XDA app) which I would like to support. Is it possible to modify these blocked settings to allow some apps or even disable it completely?
Thanks
Sid
Download AdFree Android from the Market then use the "revert hosts" option and it'll restore the hosts file to stock, which means no more ad blocking. You can then use the same app to update hosts file, which will start blocking ads again.
Thank you
That worked
It appears the Chamberlain and LiftMaster MyQ apps are now detecting root and complain that some features are not compatible with my device. Tried adding the app to the Magisk Hide list but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas what could be done?
Some apps detect not only root itself but common root apps such as Titanium Backup. If you don't already have Magisk set up with a randomized package name that could help. If you do already or it still doesn't work after I would try removing your root apps or seeing if they have their own hide functionality like randomizing the package name.

Hiding Magisk Manager works for me.
I tried clearing the app data thinking that maybe they check once and keep track of it, but it didn't help. I'm not a fan of hiding Magisk Manager, so I'll just live with it the way it is, I use a password manager to fill in the password so it's not horrible.
Why don't you like hiding magisk manager?
My phone wasn't even rooted and myQ was giving me the error message that it won't save the credentials. I had LuckyPatcher program installed but after its deletion myQ allowed me to save the username password combination. Btw what an annoying company Chamberlain is, they want $9/month to integrate myQ with ITTT or Google Home. Any workarounds?
Yeah I work around to enable Google home integration as well as Alexa integration would be to used Z-Wave enabled garage controller. The bad part is you'll need to wire it into one of the handheld garage door openers to bypass the Chamberlayne encryption and then you'll have to register the garage door controller with a custom device template in your home automation system to where your garage door is seen as a light and then you'll be able to use the command turn on or turn off and then the name of your garage door device name it's a major pain in the butt but it works. Home automation device manufacturers specifically include code that intentionally block or restrict voice commands to open or close the garage doors for liability purposes as well as laws that have been signed into a fact that Force manufacturers to restrict voice enabled commands for garage doors
Old thread but I got a Chamberlain myQ for Christmas. Saw root detection. I selected myQ in Magisk Hide settings and cleared the storage l/data for the myQ app. No issues for me. I just double checked writing this post too.
I have a few things that I would like to have spoofed to the work profile.
What I currently use is the app called Changer.
With this app you can spoof details to certain apps that are in the same profile/user.
Is there a possibility to spoof these details to apps that are not in the same profile?
The following I know so far:
- Making the apps Exposed and Changer system apps works for work profiles that are made by shelter, the 2 needed apps are then also installed in the work profile.
- The app "app ops" (not an edxposed app) makes it possible to show all apps, also from different profiles.

Have you found out? What is "changer"? Where can I find it?
I'm happy with my new Zenfone 8 and want to limit the amount of personal data that Google and others can take from it. So I haven't signed into Google and I'm using F-droid, etc, to download apps.
I've installed NetGuard and I'm OK with allowing or blocking traffic from User Apps. However if I "Show System Apps" there are so many of them that I'm lost.
Is there a list of System Apps that can be blocked to increase privacy without affecting the basic functions of the phone?
I don't have a list, but you should try TrackerControl from F-Droid, it is basically NetGuard but with extra features like tracker blocking, which can be useful for apps that are not tracker-free like social media. It allows very precise control over what urls apps can send/recieve info from
Thanks, I hadn't heard about TrackerControl and will check it out.
Is Netguard still necessary? When I go into an app's settings, click on network, I can turn off mobile data and wifi for any particular app. That's basically what netguard does, right? i.e. prevent an app from accessing the internet
I recently found some hidden google apps on my Zenfone 8 that I had not heard about before...
Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > click 3 dots upper right corner of screen "Show system".....
I uninstalled these that I don't have a use for:
Companion Device Manager
Basic Daydreams
Google Assistant
Syndor Flipfont
And I force stopped many other apps (that could not be uninstalled) that I didn't see a use for.
There were other apps that I disabled wi-fi and mobile connections to.
I also use Netguard to control which apps have internet and mobile access. However Netguard shows vastly more system apps that I have no idea what they do - I leave these alone. It the moment I'm only trying to reduce the amount of surveillance built into a normal android phone.
I haven't heard of a published an up-to-date rundown of system apps that have no business sending data out of the phone? I know you can just disable all data out connections using Netguard and then spend the rest of your life figuring out which ones to enable to get a useable phone. Perhaps such a list is impractical as it may have to be tailored to each phone and OS? But there might be system apps common to recent android systems that could have the wi-fi and mobile data disabled?
Anything would help if I didn't have to fiddle around so much. The alternative is a degoogled phone. Many google play apps can work on these but there are several important ones I use that don't work and so far I have found no viable open source apps to replace them.

Maybe the apps that are not available are accessible as a web app? I personally never encountered an app that does not work on Lineage and OmniRom (currently on onmirom). Maybe thats because of MicroG. A bonus to roms is better battery life, I think thank to MicroG

Can you use Waze and google translate? I've tried the open source alternative to Waze but in the country I'm living in it's too clunky to use. I haven't found an open source alternative to translate (that can scan documents and items in the supermarket, translate them and do all the other things. I might buy a degoogled phone in the future as I don't want to get into the technicalities.
