Hi,
As Xposed apparently won't be ported soon to LP if ever, I was wondering if I update to LP (Galaxy S4 got GE LP), what options I have to protect my privacy and manage those permissions? I am too much spoiled by Xprivacy I doubt if there is anything as good as Xprivacy but need at least something that can do a minimum job to block and deny some permissions.
Thanks for all your suggestions
P.S I was also thinking of making a post to list all alternatives to different xposed module, what do you guy say ? I can keep the OP uptodate if you share your alternative Mods/Apps to xposed modules
Alternative solution I am personally using right know which serve me quite well till we have some real privacy mod/tool :
You will need 2 apps :
- AFWall+ (open source firewall) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
- App Ops : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
Ideally to prevent leaks, install them before installing or restoring any data after flashing your ROM
1- In AFWall+
- Enable the Firewall by pressing 3 dot menu and Enable firewall,
- Then for apps which you want to grant access Check the Icons First is for LAN Network acces, 2nd is for Wifi Internet, 3rd is your Mobile Data (some system apps like Media server, download etc.. must have internet access other wise Youtube, or downloading in browsers wont work, read the FAQ question for more info.)
- Once all app you want to grant access are checked, click on 3 dot menu and click Apply. (each time you change permission don't forget to apply).
2- App Ops : This one is very easy all Apps installed are organized by Type of permissions you go in and then uncheck the permission to to Block it, once ou are in App you will see all blockable Permissions that this app is asking not only of that category and that is handy
Please Note that App Ops don't list and block each and every permissions, but most essentials are there. Combined with AFWall you are good to go to protect your privacy till some good Mod or Xposed for LP come out.
Now instead of being fully naked without Xprivacy on LP, now we are at least in Bikini
App ops? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=droidmate.appopsinstaller
Nothing as good as Xprivacy. I'm still on KK and I'll stay on this version for a while I guess.

App ops deny permission per app basis, but sometimes denying permission break the app, xprivacy instead send fake data to the app, so you can still use the app without giving your real info
Xposed and Xprivacy are just the single best privacy guards
I know but how long can we stay on KK at one point we need to update or when we buy future devices there won't be any choices. So we need to find alternatives to all those xposed modules

From what I can see, devs are more interested in custom roms/kernels rather than in security/privacy purposes.
Marcel (M66B) is almost ready for Lollipop. We 'just' need Xposed. He is also working on another project which could have the same goal (no available information).
I really hope that rovo89 have enough motivation and will be successful in developing Xposed for Lollipop.
I don't want to loose control because of Google updates. Future devices is another subject and I think there is still a long way to go before not being able to use a KK device.
i really think that a moderator should open a thread for indexing all of the 'Alternative to xposed mod *name* for LP 5.0.*'
just until we will have xposed or something else for android L...
There is "privacy guard" by cyanogenmod in cm12, I think it sends fake data too instead of just block the permission. But you have to install custom rom for this.

This does not offer the same level of protection. I would not call Privacy Guard an alternative of Xprivacy.
There is no real alternative for Xprivacy, but at least it is something
I won't stay on a old version of Android only because one developer is going like "i'm god, don't ask me questions" ... we will never see xposed for LP, get used to it and move on.
I have moved to LP as I couldn't just leave my self open to all privacy leak, I came up with a solution while waiting for Xposed or any other other Mod to come out.

Well, the saying goes "Do Not Feed The Trolls", yet here I am, feeding one: He does not play "god". He has a valid point by saying that it is his hobby, and should stay his hobby. If he feels like it, he could leave XDA and the whole Android-platform completely, and I would be fine with this decision and others should be, too! It is and has to be his choice, and if he does not find the time, muse, etc., then it is how it is.
You clearly have no idea how coding works, how Lollipop works, how the xposed framework works, else you would shut up and be patient.
If you are so much better than him, do it yourself. Everything you need is just a few clicks and downloads away. All his work is on github, and Anrdoid itself is open source. Go understand how xposed works, go understand how Dalvik works/worked, go understand how ART works, and then write it yourself.
Unless you really are better, and can do this, just wait silently. Don't be yet another huso cancerous forum member. There are enough of them as it is. Don't be ungrateful. Especially now!
For f* sake, I shouldn't even have to "defend" his choices.

I'm also awaiting an updated version of Xposed and Xprivacy for my incoming M9, but it seems a 64bit version is a long way off.
What do you guys know about this? Looks to be developed by faculty and students at Carnegie Mellon University.
Protect My Privacy (PMP)

In the Google Play store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synergylabs.pmpandroid
I have installed XPOSED and with that XPRIVACY to control what information apps like FACEBOOK and MESSENGER leaks over the internet, and what information they can access on my phone....
But recently my banking app was updated, and it now detect the XPRIVACY Module, if that module is ACTIVE inside XPOSED INSTALLER... If i deactivate the XPRVACY Module, and restart, then I can start the banking app with no problem...
Obviously its a drag to DISABLE MODULE-->RESTART-->DO BANKING-->ENABLE MODULE-->RESTART-->BE PROTECTED AGAIN
So can anyone point me in the right direction on how to keep XPRIVACY enabled, while still being able to use the banking app...
The banking app in question is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.spv.mobilbank
So if you have XPOSED and XPRIVACY, you can download this app, and see that it FORCE CLOSES as long as the XPRIVACY Module is active inside XPOSED...
If you disable XPRIVACY you will see the app starting up, and displaying some login screen...
Can anyone help me in this endavour??
I've tried using SudoHide & MinMinHide, but those did not work for this... as long as the module is active inside XPOSED, then the app will force close...
Rootcloack did also not do anything for this specific problem...
Im not sure what method the app uses to detect that the module is installed and active... but the app does not care, if the XPRIVACY module is installed, but not active, also it doesn't seem to care about XPOSED itself, and the rest of XPOSED's modules... Its just when XPRIVACY Module is activated inside XPOSED...
Please give me suggestions as where to go... what to do... what to test...
Since Xprivacy is freeware, I was considering downloading it, and renaming all the files and the code in the files, to not include "xprivacy" text or "bikhorst" text (package name), but building the app, seems to be my problem...
My pc is old, and does not support the never versions of android studio...
Is there something in the banking app itself, that i could edit, using APK EDITOR perhaps... (or similar programs) to stop the app from checking for XPRIVACY (active) Module...
Is there some other apps that I could try, that might somehow stop only that one app from detecting that I use XPRIVACY to protect my privacy where I can....
I have tried:
"No Device Check"
"RootCloack"
"SudoHide" & "MinMinHide"
What I seem to need is some XPOSED MODULE, or other app that can "hide the presence of the active XPRIVACY module"...
I've tried to use XPRIVACY itself to deny the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.spv.mobilbank (no.spv.mobilbank) app from checking the system for the presence of XPRIVACY, and if I put checkmarks on categories "IPC" and "SHELL" inside XPRIVACY for the "no.spv.mobilbank" then XPRIVACY starts up, and asks if I want to allow or deny access to shell/ipc and then the app crashes... (as it detects xprivacy if allowed that access, or it just crashes fast, if denied that access, so what can i do inside XPRIVACY to force a false check and then avoid a crash, so that the app keeps loading)
I've also tried to use APKTOOL to reverse engineer the app, since there is a config.xml file that contains the two following lines of code, that seems to have something to do with the checking, but the apktool fails at rebuilding the edited apk file, so those changes cannot so far be saved (by me) to that apk file...
(the file with the xml I want to change: c:\OUTPUTFOLDER\res\xml\confiig.xml)
(correct path if you let APKTOOL decompile the app to c:\OUTPUTFOLDER\)
And the CHANGES i think will stop the behavoiur:
(when i set the ONLOAD to FALSE in these two paragraphs)
<feature name="Whitelist">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.whitelist.WhitelistPlugin" />
<param name="onload" value="false" />
</feature>
<feature name="ExternalAppBlock">
<param name="android-package" value="no.spv.mobilbank.lib.SPVExternalAppBlock" />
<param name="onload" value="false" />
</feature>
Too bad there is no way to try this for me, ass I cannot get the APKTOOL to reassemble the files back to an APK file... It only does the decompiling correctly (im using APKTOOL 2.2.1)
Anyone with any good ideas, or suggestions as what to try, or what to do different?
If anyone could build an XPOSED module that somehow disabled this check, performed by no.spv.mobilbank then I'd be most gradeful !! (but I don't know how to build that myself)

Well, not yet.... mostly because asking the same question, several places in the same forum, is not so much liked in the other forums I use...
There is no bug with Xprivacy itself, nor with Xposed, but since this is a setup that runs Xposed, i found it most logically to ask it here first...
As more people might visit the Xposed part, than the Xprivacy part of the forum...
But... I might repost the question in Xprivacy aswell...
Would you perhaps have a direct link to the Xprivacy part of this forum (im still quite new on this forum) ??

I know this is an old thread, but people still come here from google search looking for solutions to their issues. So, here is what you can try:
I think you have tried it, but still. On the main window of xprivacy, uncheck the 2 boxes beside the banking app. Xprivacy will not block anything for this app. Now clear all the data of the banking app from settings > applications or wherever it is on your phone. Check it the app works now.
If the above does not work do this. Go back to xprivacy > tap the icon of the banking app on left side. This will let you change permissions only for that app. Make sure all the boxes are clear. Go to bottom > check the first box next to System > tap the arrow on the left side of system. Now, check the first box of these 6 sub-permissions under system:
getInstalledApplications
getInstalledPackages
getRecentTasks
getRunningAppProcesses
getRunningServices
getRunningTasks
Now clear all the data of the banking app like in the 1st step and check if it works.
One of these 2 steps should work.
NOTE: Just installing Rootcloak does not do anything. You need to add the package name of the banking app to make it work. Which can be done by opening Rootcloak and going to manage apps and adding it from the list.
Hi
I have a primary phone (Xiaomi mi 8) running Android 10. I also have an SM-A710M galaxy (I know this not popular at all) running LineageOS
Both these phones are rooted with magisk and I tried to install the xposed framework on the Samsung using this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xpo...posed-t3388268
In this thread, it is said that the framework works on all Android versions and that if a device supports Magisk rooting, then Xposed is also supported
Well actually that is not true as it turns out xposed is not supported on my two different phones.
Is this a bug ? Is it just because Xposed is not THE APP IT USED TO BE ? Or are my phones really not compatible ?
Sorry for my english
Thanks for any help

You will be able to install edxposed with magisk but not gravity box.
Gravity box is made for AOSP ROM, almost all features of gravity box will not work on One UI of Samsung.

Yeah, I was afraid of that... but isn't more like, the more a vendor modifies AOSP, the more tweaks are broken?
The big one for me, a reason just by itself to install GravityBox, is to enable the volume buttons to move the caret in a text field. Second-biggest reason is to allow customisation of all buttons for double-tap and long-press functions. Third, more control over DPI setting (I like to make stuff as small as I can see, to use desktop mode in my browser; standard control doesn't let me go far enough). The other tweaks I make with GravityBox, I could live without.
So technically speaking, these are very small reasons to bother with Xposed and GravityBox, but the useability gains make it worth the hassle. I don't suppose I could find these modifications as individual tweaks for the A71's stock firmware, somehow?

Two things. The first one is that if you want to have full control over DPI I advise you to use the root essentials app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superthomaslab.rootessentials
Using edXposed is a great solution but (if I am not mistaken, I think you rooted with Magisk no? Just keep in mind that if you install edXposed, you will loose one the most important magisk feature : pass Safety Net check

I haven't got the phone yet... every damn time I get a phone, it's like I have to go back to square one learning how to root; it's like fortnight of eye-glazing research to make it happen. Googling Safety Net this time around, things look grim.
For the first time, I'm wondering if it's a better idea to not mess with my phone, which pisses me off hard.
With Google play music going away soon, the community would definitely benefit from a module for YouTube Music (not YouTube).
Requested features, at least from my point of view would be background and ad free playback in the YouTube music section (this already exists in the uploaded music section), improved search in the uploaded section and that the search defaults to the tab it originated in (search in uploaded music, search results show in uploaded tab, not YT music tab). And maybe other small improvements.
Please post here if you would like a module like this. Considering how broken YTM is compared to Google Play Music, it would be welcomed.
I doubt how could someone benefit out of this idea.
My guess is that you're making a basic mistake here, you can't just achieve functions nor improve an app (that requires a paid subscription) by simply adding it to another partiton through a module or giving root permission to it... It won't make any real difference.
If you're taking the Vanced mod into account, don't, because Vanced is a completely different situation, it's a modified version of the original app and the only benefit of it being a module or installed using root was that the app could replace the original YouTube app systemlessly, they could use the repository to distribute the module easier, and you could login without the microg thing (in fact, the module is now deprecated in favor of their own manager apk). And you can also install the non-root version, which works exactly the same as the root one ?
So, in short, no it's not as simple as that. Unless someone is interested in modifying that app directly (similar to Vanced). You should be asking for an apk mod, not a module...

Considering it's going to replace Google Play Music, yes I think it deserves a module, and as much attention as the Vanced team gives its app. I find it strange you think I'm making a "mistake" in asking for a module (call it an app, call it a module, it's a modded version of the original, however we get there) that thousands of people would appreciate. If a module is not the right term, that's fine. This forums is a good place to start though since I have seen a lot of threads asking for something like this even though GPM is still alive. When it dies, it would be very welcome by the community I'm sure.

Did you ignore the part where I said that it makes no difference at all to use it as a module or simply install as a normal apk and the differences btw them, also the comparison? The mistake I mentioned is that you're asking for an apk mod, not a module. That's it.
About the idea, yes I agree with you, it'd be useful (as long as it's not considered against the rules or there are some law problems implied, Idk).
I'm dreading this forced migration from Play Music to YT Music. For years now I've had the last remaining copy of my entire digital music library collected over the years, with a ton of remixes, singles, alternate versions, radio talk, random sound bites, extremely old and obscure audio files which are very likely impossible to ever find anywhere online these days. All just saved on GPM cloud. I'm absolutely dreading the change to YTMusic will be an opportunity for Google to delete entire swaths of audio files that don't fit into their sanitized Billboard commercial record label-approved cookie cutter whitelist, reducing the tens of thousands of tracks down to whatever YouTube recognizes only.
This may not be the right place to ask, but regarding a method to preserve our GPM music libraries, is there such a mod or modded apk that may help with this? I know back in the day there were mass downloader programs for desktop systems but that's no longer an option. And i very much doubt there will be an easy way to transfer such a huge library to another cloud service, even if just as basic file storage and not music oriented.
H! So I am actually unsure where to post this..
Here's hoping you can figure something out and not be mad at me if this is the wrong place to post this.
Initially, i was going to post this as a Bug report on Github. However, I figured this was not correct.
Technically speaking this also isn't really an issue with magisk itself, more that adobe might have found a way to circumvent magisk anti detection methods.
In short: The App "Adobe Account Access" (com.adobe.ims.accountaccess on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.ims.accountaccess) seems to have found a way to detect magisk and/or root, even though root detection is hidden in magisk.
The App just displays a prompt, saying "Device not supported. Sorry, your phone is not supported for Adobe Account Access.", even though the device used should be supported.
I checked with adobe community support on whether my Phone is supported or not and according to them, it should indeed be supported: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acco...-access-app-device-not-supported/m-p/11696613
I suspect they have found a way to get around all magisk anti detection methods and i would be grateful if someone would be kind enough to check if there is a workaround or if magisk's detection prevention needs an update.
Unfortunately, i don't have much more to say other than that..
There aren't any magisk log entries that would indicate something went wrong (only entries mentioning the app are"i" loglevel, one coming from hide_list_add and one coming from proc_monitor).
I could not find anything out of the ordinary in the logcat, although i suppose i could be more thorough with my search.
My technical/general info would be:
Magisk Version used: 22.0 (22000) (18)
SafetyNet integrity: Both basicIntegrity AND ctsProfile = pass; evalType = BASIC
ROM used: OxygenOS 10.0.11.GM21BA
Android version: 10
Device name: OnePlus 7 Pro
"Adobe Account Access" App version: 1.6
+++ Please feel free to ask for any additional info in case I missed it +++
Thanks in advance for any productive suggestion!
When does it display this "device not supported" message? I tested just now and could log in and set everything up without even adding the app to the Hide list, and with the Magisk app unhidden.

Oh? That is peculiar.. Damn, that implies an issue somewhere else i reckon ://
It displays it immediately after launching the app. The very first screen..
What phone and which OS (/ROM) are you using? Might just be that my phone is genuinely not supported and the folks over at the adobe community forum lied when saying my phone should be compatible..
Also, which android version are you on if you don't mind me asking?
You don't have any modules installed? No edxposed or lsposed, or magisk modules?
Have you tried root detection apps like Root Beer Fresh to see if indeed the app is unable to detect root? If you try any such app, remember to add it to the Magisk Hide list beforehand, otherwise the app will clearly detect root.
It's a OnePlus 3T with Android 9 ArrowOS. As stated above, it could very well be a module, like EdXposed. Or a root app, or a file or folder on your device, or something completely different.
It's not detecting Magisk at least, that's for sure...

Samsung Galaxy S7 Custom 9.0 Pie, Magisk 22 root with random name, application without hiding works fine.
Hi all!
First of all: Apologies! I meant to respond sooner to this, but work has kept me occupied and the one time I actually was available, XDA Forums went down into maintenance mode..
Secondly: Sorry for maybe jumping the gun here a bit!
It does look like I should have tested this issue a bit more! I am definitely going to keep on trying to fix this on my own using the resources and methods you have suggested!
I have tested com.adobe.ims.accountaccess on my sisters unrooted OnePlus Nord.. It works fine there, which is really confusing. None of the other apps I am using show this sort of issue :c Not even my banking app!
@mario0318 Thanks for your suggestion! I know it is good practice to remove/disable all your modules. However, none of the modules I have currently installed are particularly large and they certainly do not modify much compared to what is possible. I am going to attach a list to this response, however I am also going to try disabling them one by one and see if I can find the culprit! Unfortunately, I will not be able to disable the "Google Dialer Framework" module, since it causes the device to bootloop if the google dialer app is still present.
Here is a list of all the modules I have installed and enabled at the moment:
Spoiler
App Systemizer (Terminal Emulator)
Busybox for Android NDK
Google Dialer Framework
Looki75 Product Sans font
Systemless Hosts
ViPER4ANDROID FX
Honourable mentions (these modules are completely DISABLED):
Spoiler
Riru
Riru - EdXposed
However, please note again that SafetyNet seems to be INTACT, with "basicIntegrity" and "ctsProfile" still passing and "evalType" being "BASIC".
In any case. Thanks to everyone for their contribution! I really appreciate any suggestion!
Edit: @mario0318 right after I posted this message, I went ahead and gave "RootbeerFresh" a shot. It does not detect root when it is hidden from it. This makes my leading theory to be that the app truly does not support OnePlus 7 Pro devices. Wouldn't know why it doesn't support this model in particular though. Until I either unroot or find someone with the same device, willing to install Adobe Account Access, i can't say for sure though.

So upon Google searching "oneplus 7 pro adobe account access" it appears to be a common problem.

I cannot find any results using this search term on google other than my own post on the adobe community forums.. This one: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acco...access-app-device-not-supported/td-p/11695914
@mario0318 do you happen to know a way to somehow "pretend" to the app that i am in fact using a different phone? Something that would allow me to make the app believe it is running on a different device?

Well, the well known magisk module MHPC or Magisk Hide Props Config comes to mind. You can change device fingerprints and maybe also give the Device Simulation feature a go, or custom edit any range of configurable props.
You could do so without the module editing the build.props yourself. Or if you stick with edxposed and deal with not having magisk manager's hide enabled, perhaps any of the device spoofers on the xposed repo could fool the app. Or Sudohide if you set Adobe app to hide from any and all apps that are root relevant. May also consider removing directories in your internal and removable storage for things like TWRP or PBRP, Titanium Backup, xposes, etc, you know, things that a simple media scan looking for any sign of root apps might pick up.
But for now, I'd give MHPC a try and change device fingerprint and maybe enable device simulation if simple fingerprint change doesn't work.
I'm having the same issue on a rooted OnePlus 8T
Same for me on op7 pro. Hiding with somiko but Adobe still not working. Nor could I bypass square, it notes root when it pairs Bluetooth
