Salutations. (That means 'Hello').
NOTE: For those who are interested, I will include background information about how I came to the solution. All that other jazz too. First and foremost however; the fix!
SOLUTION:
Right at the top of the post, you will find two links. This being a new account and all (don't ask), until I create 10 posts I cannot include any outside links. So once I've done so, I will update the post.
STEP **: So at the top of the post, there are clearly two links. 64-Bit Android devices are becoming increasingly common. This architecture may pose a few problems. give the application framework. Should you own a 64-Bit device, I recommend installing this application too (LINK 2). This will theoretically prevent any obstacles.
Pre-requisite(s): Make sure you have the 'Snapchat' application installed. It is recommended to have installed the latest update from the Google Play Store.
STEP ONE: Download the application appended to LINK 1. This is called Parallel Space. You might recognize the name (its creators are the same who allow you to seamlessly virtualize Windows OS on Mac OS).
STEP TWO: Launch the application.
STEP THREE: You should be prompted with a grid-like interface. Here you will be greeted with a range of familiar icons. In the top right corner of each icon, you will notice a blue check-mark. Make sure that there is one next to the 'Snapchat' icon. This will ensure that the app is 'cloned'.
STEP FOUR: In the 'Parallel Space' app, tap on the 'Snapchat' icon. This will launch the application.
STEP FIVE: From here it is pretty self-explanatory. You are greeted by the standard 'Snapchat' interface. Tap on 'Log In'. Then proceed to do so.
STEP SIX: 'Snapchat' should be functioning as normal.
STEP SEVEN (BONUS): During testing, this worked on and off. --
Remain logged-in to the 'cloned' 'Snapchat' application within the 'Parallel Space' application.
Then proceed to launch the stock 'Snapchat' application.
Next attempt to 'Log-In'.
Should this operation be successful, you are then free to uninstall 'Parallel Space' and any related assets from your device.
HOWEVER, I personally do not recommend this. When logging out or updating the 'Snapchat' application, errors may be re-encountered.
Instead, I recommend that if possible, do use the stock application, but leave 'Parallel Space' installed. Using the stock app will improve efficiency and reduce the load on system resources. But keeping the 'Parallel Space' application on the device, well; you get the point.
Enjoy the fix! If it does not work, please let me know [Device Name and Model No.]. I've tested on various devices, succeeded every-time. Do keep in mind that this is a loop-hole, so may be patched in future or not work at all for some devices.
Background (Because I know someone will ask): The idea came to mind while using a LG G5 as a daily driver. I had tested every custom ROM available for the device. The problem was that with custom ROM's, there was always an issue, Malfunctioning sensors, camera's not working persistently, etc , etc.
The G5's stock ROM left me wanting more. The overbearing interface made it a living hell. Plus, the device just being rooted (NO XPOSED) meant that 'Snapchat' did not work. I looked for fixes for a time, but could not find any.
Development of ROM's for the device is on-going, and I am an active member. But I just couldn't handle not being able to use the camera (one of the device's best features) and no accelerator, screen-rotation, etc. So I went back to stock again. Do keep in mind that I was alternating/dual-booting between custom and stock ROM's just because of the camera; mainly.
This most recent time. instead of flashing stock MM, I flashed stock N for the G5. For 850, it has been officially released in some countries, and a manual flash via TWRP was a peice of cake.
This update is a lot better. I am running Nova Launcher again. So it makes it look a little better. Themes have also been improved. I am using an in-built dark one which makes the device look a lot better aesthetically. Additionally, I'm rocking a white carbon-fibre skin on the exterior; improving grip and overall security. The only issue was again, no 'Snapchat'.
After a few days, I had the idea to attempt this. I tested my theory and it worked! That's it.
Please do keep in mind that I will update this post as often as possible.
P.S This was tested just after updating to the latest version of 'Snapchat' which was a significant update. It included Shazam, Groups, etc. So you know, pretty cool that it worked.
Did not work on Google Nexus 5 running Android 7.1.1. Still gives error message saying that I can't connect to the server.
Same here, not working on freshly reinstalled and rooted 7.1.1 Nexus 5x. No Xposed, no nothing. I get the infuriating "temporarily failed" message in both cloned and regular modes.

I'm pretty sure if you get Xposed framework, there's a module that allows you to hide root from apps. Problem is that there is no Xposed framework for Android 7 yet. Hope this helps.

I personally tried the module on cm13 but it doesnt work for me. I think that somehow snapchat knows when you use xposed too.
The thing is that on aosp roms with root already build in sometimes snapchat do not catch it but if you have xposed, no way you can get in. For that freaky snapchat app here is what i did: install any rom, if if had root build in i then install su uninstaller zip with twrp then log in into snapchat and after that, rooting with super su zip again. The catch is that once you log out of the app and attempt to log in again, you cant get in and you have to repeat the proccess. It's annoying as hell!!! They need to disable the security check, if people want to cheat che system somehow they will, so whats the point. Also there are much more tweaks for jailbroken iphones and they have no problem with it .
Sorry for the rant here buqt im super frustrated.

That's the only solution I've seen working so far. unroot and reroot. Root cloak doesn't work, parallel doesn't work. I should've logged in before rooting and I hate to do it again.
Any work arounds yet? I've seen ppl do it using titanium backup but I'm not sure if that works. Can anybody help?

Well todays your lucky day.
Step one turn off xposed.
Step two reboot
Step three sign into snapchat
Step four turn xposed back on
Step five reboot
You should be able to snap now.
Okay. I will try this on monday and will let youknow how it goes. Right now I decided to unroot to use snapchat, so I didn't loose my streaks. Thanks in advane will let you know how it goes.

Now that i think of it, when i uninstalled xposed it didn't work still. but after i "fully unrooted" through Super su and tried to sign in it worked. so it has to do with root or maybe both but the xposed didnt work for me. Thanks even though it didn't/wouldn't have worked for me!

Snapchat detects xposed framework.
Though at a time they did do root they since moved to blocking xposed due to the security concerns with money and also privacy of the user.
Though with certain phones and ect that could be the case I am using a s5 and have no issues.
just install magisk and systemless xposed and turn on magisk hide in magisk manager now snapchat won't detect root
then when u wanna log in just turn off xposed in xposed installer and reboot "it won't take time booting optimizing app when reactivated now" so reboot is easy
and u can have multiple accounts by backing up snapchat with titanium backup and don't ever log out just wibe its data and when u want to relog just restore the backup
and if u want to have multiple accounts access just patch the titanium backup with luckypatcher and have multiple backups (accounts)

make a nandroid backup if u want
1- full unroot by opening supersu and going to settings and press Full unroot and wait till it finishes and restart
2- download xposed uninstaller if u have xposed framework installed and flash it
3- install magisk manager from playstore
4- download and flash last magisk which is (12v) now from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
5- flash magisk v12.0 which you downloaded now your phone will have systemless root
6- go into magisk manager app and go to settings and toggle "Magisk Hide" (ON) and restart now your root is hidden
7- remove your current xposed app and install this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
8- flash systemless xposed : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
9- reboot and go to the xposed installer app and toggle the xposed off or on as you want when u restart it won't take time optimizing apps like before so fast now
your root is hidden now but xposed is not but you can disable it and enable it easily
Instead of using Parallel Space (which I believe to be insecure) use Island to clone your apps. It's a little more advanced to setup, but it's a lot more secure. It works for rooted and non-rooted devices. On the 1st page of the thread, it explains how Parallel Space and others repack the apk file locally, which is dangerous. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/closed-beta-test-incoming-companion-app-t3366295
Island never repack apk file locally, which is inherently insecure for users, since all your app data (including password input) are technically in the hand of MoboClean. (The same applies to other similar tools, e.g. LBE Parallel Space)
Instead, Island takes advantage of the underlying mechanism used by "Android for Work". This ensures that all your apps run natively in Android system and their data are securely stored in internal location of Android which is never accessible by Island. It has the same level of security as "Android for Work".

Be sure to read the disclaimer!!! The app is still only available in closed beta at the time of writing this, and could possibly cause you're device to bootloop or even possibly brick it, but root, xposed, or other modifications {in my opinion) has a higher chance of bootloops or bricking your device.
You follow the same steps in island to clone snapchat as you would in Parallel Space to login to snapchat. It might be possible to use the play store inside island to download snapchat inside island and login that way. I can't remember exactly how it works. I believe that island is a good way to test apps in a "sandbox environment" to keep the data excluded, safe and secure from the regular apps that you have installed outside of island.
I use Magisk now which bypasses SafetyNet which is what snapchat uses to "block access" to modified/rooted devices.
Probably the easiest method is to download Casper which is an alternative snapchat client that allows you to save snaps, and many other features that the official snapchat client can't do. Find Casper at www.casper.io
FYI Netflix has started to change how they do things as well by hiding the app's play store page from devices that have been modified or rooted, but it's still possible to simply sideload Netflix for now.

I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, reinstalling the APK. What do I do? This is a very big problem as i cannot run any rooted apps without getting the message that magisk has stopped.

When you say you've uninstalled and reinstalled, are you talking about Magisk or the Magisk Manager? I'm talking about completely uninstalling Magisk by using the uninstall zip.
And what about that logcat?

Likely caused by a bug with checking the Magisk repo. It's been fixed but not yet released.
Clear Repo Cache
Disconnect from internet, go to settings and clear the repo cache helped me to open it again

I am facing the same issue. Magisk Manager crashes as soon as I open it (precisely within 3-5 sec of opening the app). Though the root is working perfectly and all apps requiring root behave as intended.
I am attaching a magisk log taken from the magisk manager within the 3-5 seconds window.
Kindly let me know if it's the correct log. I am a noob and still learning the intricacies.
Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated
Magisk Manager works for me when I wait for a few seconds after opening the app. Cool Tool shows high CPU activity right after starting MM. Once the CPU idles again, MM works without crashing.
This is not a fix, but it may help until a new version gets released.

Great! Thanks a lot.
For those of you that remain stuck on this issue: Magisk Manger doesn't like being used from an external SD card. If that is the case (see app menu) move it back to internal memory. It will work properly then.

After flashing new LineageOS + Magisk.zip and installing the Magisk Manager Apk, the app is also crashing with no internet connection for me. But if I make airplane mode on, then it does work for me.
Magisk not opening or crashing again and again.
First of all desable or uninstall your superuser app and then open magisk manager app again it's very simple. When you done all of magisk installation then you can again activate or install your superuser app.
If it is not working then please tell me i can help you.
Nexus 6, 7.1.1, Magisk root - Google play and Magisk Crashing
Making a long story as sort as I can my Nexus 6 running Magisk to hide the root from Google play, and a stock 7.1.1 ( 7.1.1 (N6F27M, Oct 2017 if it matters) google image, was working flawlessly a couple years ago when I stopped using it.
A few weeks ago I turned it on, clicked Google play and it never opens. Just hangs on the app loading screen unless I disconnect the internet from it. I read somewhere that this may be an issue from something that Google implemented since then In there play services to detect root.
Connected to the internet (WiFi) I opened Magisk and was able to update the Manager app before it quickly crashed. I opened it again and there seems to be a Magisk update but app crashes too fast for me to click update.
What is going on here and/or how do I fix this?

Updated Magisk Manager and was able to download the updated apk using the manager. I then rebooted to recovery and installed the new APK, cleared delvik, & cache, rebooted. Bam! SOLVED
DESCRIPTION
If you have the Pixel Experience module installed on your phone and installed Google Phone from the Play Store or ever tried to use a patched Google Phone version (such as this one), you may have noticed that Google Phone force closes when you try to search for a contact or while opening the keypad. This Magisk module attempts to fix that and it works by replacing your non-AOSP contacts storage with Google's own version, the one supported by Google Phone.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Supports Android versions from Android 7 (Nougat) to Android P.
It will remove any phone/dialer/contacts/people applications from your phone (if supported) because they are incompatible with Google's Contacts Storage.
You should only install this module if you want/need to use Google Phone and Google Contacts.
TESTED/SUPPORTED DEVICES
HTC 10 (Sense based ROMs).
Note: It should work with other devices but I have no means no test them myself, I can only rely on the community to test this for me.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Install the Magisk module as usual but DO NOT reboot your device just yet.
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and disable "Automatically sync data".
Go into "Settings » Apps" a, look for "Contacts Storage" (it's a system app) and clear application data.
Reboot your device now!
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and enable "Automatically sync data".
Google Phone should now work without force closing, hopefully.
Note: If you ever want/need to disable this module, you should also follow the procedure above (disable module, disable data synchronization, clear contacts storage data, reboot, and re-enable contacts synchronization).
DISCLAIMER
Install this module at your own risk.
Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
Please take all necessary precautions (like a nandroid backup) before installing this module.

I also got that error when developing this module but I never got it after installing/enabling it, only after disabling it.
For some reason, the system does not recognize the /system/priv-app/ContactsProvider/ContactsProvider.apk (although the file is there). I'm not sure how to fix this to be honest, so I recommend you restore your backup to get you back to a working state. Maybe try the whole process again (makre sure you follow every single step) and instead of rebooting the system after installing the module, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik/ART and cache. If that doesn't help, restore the device again until a solution for this problem is found.
Like I said, I also had this problem and because I live on the edge, I didn't make a backup of my system (idiot me). I had to make the system recognize the ContactsProvider.apk file and wen into recovery, deleted, copied it back from my ROM, set proper folder/file permissions, wiped dalvik/ART and cache and rebooted, the problem was gone. I installed my module again and it worked. But I'm honestly afraid to disable it and get that error back.
Which is weird because I'm replacing this file systemlessly, that's the whole point of Magisk. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm no expert... We'll probably need help from someone with more knowledge on the whole Android system. But for the record, I currently have the version available on this thread installed on my phone. I have the Pixel Experience module installed and installed Google Phone from the store, it doesn't force close and all features seem to be working. I just need to get this module stable.
@stathis95194 Were you able to restore your device? I hope so... I've uploaded a new test version, didn't change much, not sure if it fixes anything.

@rfgamaral soooo after flashing 0.0.4 i faced the same issue with android.process.acore has stopped popping all the time.
This time i took a different approach and didn't restore my nandroid. Instead i dirty flashed my LeeDroid rom.
Rebooted and lo and behold, stock dialer and contacts were missing and google phone was working perfectly. No crashing on searching (nearby places is working)
Now i need to test caller id and spam filter
I will keep testing and let you know.

Awesome, glad you got it working.
Now I just need to understand why installing this module crashes android.process.acore... But it's a bummer that this is happening, a little price to pay, I guess? At least until a fix is found... That and that whole install procedure which is required to avoid other different crashes because of incompatible storages.
Hi
I'm running 2.42.400.3 on U11.
I installed this and google phone from

Dialer kept crashing so I installed your mod.
After that,com.android .phone keeps crashing.
I unistalled it and then I got acore crashing.
I restored feom nandroid but for some reason kept getting the acore crash, so I completely uninstalled magisk.
Now.... everything works. Even the dialer.
I'm really not sure what happened but.... thanks

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 with the UlTiMaTe NouGaT S8+ Full Port V3.1 ROM. I am rooted with Magisk V18.0, and have Snapchat enabled in Magisk Hide. Every time I install Xposed v89.3 by topjohnwu, I get a message from Snapchat team a few hours later saying that my account is being temporarily locked for 12+ hours. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Is there a way to stop this? Is this caused by Xposed?
Xposed or root, i dont know but i had to say goodbye to snapchat since there is no way to get it working on rooted devices,i unroot, login, then root and after a couple of hours or maybe a day cant log in...titanium backup didnt do the trick neither, it is server syncd so they find out and block u
Yes, you have to hide root from Snapchat using Magisk Hide and uninstall Snapchat.
Then flash Xposed uninstall by flashing the uninstaller zip in recovery, reboot to system, install Snapchat and hide root from it and login, once logged in reboot to recovery, flash Xposed, reboot to system and it should work and stay working.
Repeat process in future if necessary.

That will work for MAYBE a few days. SC scans your phone now for xposed/root and will instantly ban it. Also, it keeps your device id stored on a blacklist so you'd have to change that too. They've gotten a lot sneaker about it. You can use an app like xprivacy lua or app ops to block this reading permission but it'll probably crash SC constantly. A few guys and I are trying to spoof the reading and device id and not get it to freak out but it's a slow process

Can't say I've ever only had it work for a few days, or only ever had it maybe work. It's worked for months now without issue.
I've also not had Snapchat "scan my phone" and I don't do anything special in that department, just regular Magisk Hide.
I've had it stop working once, months ago as I said above, and I just did the process and it started working again, no device ID change or blocking of permissions.

If you gave sc storage permission, then yes it does scan your phone periodically. It's declared in detail, in apps like app ops. Anyway though, without anyone capturing logs of when the ban is done (I'm talking to everyone that runs a sc mod of any sort) , nobody can really come up with the exact reason for them, only make educated guesses because it seems to not be one thing related \_(•-•)_/ Happy snapping!
Seems to be that Snapchat is detecting Xposed, whether it be non-systemless up to 8.1 oreo (v90 beta-3), systemless by topjohnwu, or systemless for 7.0-9.0 (EdXposed). I used Snapchat with non-systemless Xposed by rovo89 up till a month ago when I upgraded to PIE, then I used EdXposed. My new 9.0 PIE setup worked well with SnapFreedom and EdXposed until I upgraded EdXposed and Snapchat to 10.51.0.0 when I got my first ban.
Plan for attack (haven't tried, banned on alt) to use Snapchat and Xposed (Possibly also Xposed modules?) without ban:
-Use AppCloner to rebuild the snapchat apk with minimal permissions (I have premium version). I was going to go this route, but AppCloner rebuilds com.snapchat.android to com.snapchat.androie, breaking SnapFreedom. Bare permisisons: CAMERA, MICROPHONE, and maybe LOCATION? PHONE permission will give away your IMEI and other stuff, and STORAGE may trigger Xposed detection.
-Use LuckyPatcher to deny snapchat certain perissmions, including read external storage.
This thread got me thinking: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-root-snapchat-uninstall-xposed-t3909199
I am using Pixen OS android 10 on oneplus 6. I have magisk root and want to install xposed. How to prevent snapchat account lock?
Guys I'm in a major fix here. Any help would be appreciated.
K20 Pro Global Version - Currently on MIUI Global 11.0.1.0(QFKMIXM)
Rooted via Magisk
Everything was perfectly fine until I noticed 'microG installer Revived' on Magisk and decided to install it.
After I rebooted, Youtube Vanced wouldn't open stating that it won't run without Google Play Services. Same issue with Gmail as well. I went into the microG settings and accepted all the missing permissions. Added my Gmail account, signed in and accepted all the other permission pop-ups that came after.
Despite this everything is still messed up. Gmail and Youtube still gives the same error msg and Chrome keeps crashing.
I tried uninstalling microG but that was an even bigger mistake as the Google Play Services I installed via apk kept crashing.
If someone could pls guide me on how to get the system to how it was prior to the microG installation :crying:
So I managed to fix it somewhat. Uninstalled microG then installed the right version of Google Play services as well as the calendar and contacts sync apks.
No more crash messages but the issue I'm having now is that some app notifications don't work and others (such as Whatsapp) work only sometimes.
And for some really weird reason my Gmail no longer is (or has the option) in dark mode.
Anyway to fix these issues guys?
I've the same problem with my Huawei Mediapad M5 tablet. I've tried to reflash the original "SYSTEM.img" from fastboot mode, but nothing changed. I don't want to do a full reinstall because of this mistake, is there any solution?
Messing with microG is a recipe for disaster because in and of itself it is disastrous, reflash the firmware from scratch and use the Vanced magisk version even though it isn't the last version it works just fine

It's an absolute nightmare, not sure why the devs don't just update the Magisk version, and I agree the Magisk version works perfectly fine
MicroG works only on systems that don't have GAPPS. That should have been included in the documentation.
I had the same problem (I installed the microG installer revived on a cell phone that had google play services, which caused me that error; I installed the magisk module without knowing what it was for), I solved it by doing the following:
1. Uninstall micro-g and google play services and then restart the terminal.
2. Download and Install (install as system application with lucky patcher) the latest version of the google play services apk, restart.
3. Log out or remove google account from device, reboot device.
4. Login or add google account on the device again, restart the device for the last time; and voila problem solved.
I can't remove my account for some reason, and also I can't add a new google account
Hi Guys, have the same problem. has anyone found a solution? would hate to reset it
Trying to work out what it could be for the first post. It sounds like MicroG was installed while the Google Play services were already on the device.
I have actually manually removed Google Services using the debloater magisk module and run it via terminal.
I'm currently using CrDroid Android 12 and it's working fine with MicroG revived version. I have been testing the Android 13 with MicroG and have issues with the Play Store signing in
