AdAway not blocking ads after updating to Android Pie - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi, so I upgraded to Android Pie last night. My phone is rooted and running OOS 9.0.2 now. I installed AdAway from F-Droid and installed the host files. AdAway says ads are being blocked, but that is not the case. Even added Systemless Hosts from Magisk and still no fix. Can someone help me out? Thanks

Same here, I came from Havoc OS 2.5 after a full wipe and rooted using Magisk 19.2, installed adaway latest and enabled adblocking in systemless mode. No adverts are being blocked.

Hmm, at least I'm not the only one

Seems like I'm unable to tick the Enable Systemless Hosts option in AdAway. Can anyone help me out?

So, I got it working.
Here's what I did:
I saw that the entire root partition is absolutely filled.
I then went to titanium backup and removed Google Play movies and YouTube to create some space and rebooted.
Then updated the hosts file, it worked.
Enabling systemless mode in adaway is something I didn't face, however try installing the latest stable magisk and the latest adaway from f-droid.

Thank you for getting back to me. How can I check if the root directory is full? I can remove Play Movies, but I have YouTube Vanced installed which I'd like to keep. Any other app that I can remove instead?

Well, it's the same issue here. The root directory is full. Uninstalling Play Movies and YouTube didn't free up any space? What are some of the stuff I can delete safely to make room?

Lol it's been like 15 hrs since I made this post. Is there absolutely no one out there who can help this poor soul out? This is honestly so annoying

Same issue here, deleting Google Play movies and YouTube didn't do anything for me.

Ughh. I've looked everywhere and still no answers

Reboot after deleting any system app which you think wont brick the functionality.
Rebooting after that is important, you would be needing something like titanium backup to remove the app.
Deleting only Play movies should be enough.
Update:
Deleting maps using solid file explorer from /system/apps created more space for me, REBOOTING is important.
Check the before and after screenshots to see the space created.

I just wiped data and flashed OOS and Magisk again. AdAway worked without any issues. The entire system is a lot more smoother now too, so its all good. Thank you

For checking root directory you can use Solid explorer or Mixplorer to check the root section storage.
Some apps are useless for me fo rthe stock ROM always like Google play music, Google play movies, Google news, Google drive etc.
After uninstalling these apps you can install any time from play store if any one of them you like to download again.

this is what I did to get it worked, go to Preferences/ target hosts file and choose /data/data/hosts

del

Just delete some apps in system/app and you are good to go. I did that. And running ok.

Banking app crashes

Hi,
I have a banking app wich loink I provide hereby: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsi.ruralviawallet2
In the latest versions it just crashes, and after force closing and few opening and closing the app tells me that the system is modified and cannot run.
I have MAGISK 16 with magisk hide and the app checked to hide root, USB debugging deactivated as well...
Tried to use the uninstall magisk and un-SU scripts and cache clean but still crashing, So it may not have anything to do with Magisk, but since I had it installed it may have left something over there that the app is detecting as a mofied system...
Any Ideas ?
Thanks so much for your help
Make sure to also hide the Manager. I can open the app just fine if it's added to the Hide list and with the Manager hidden.
There might also be other things causing issues... Check here for more tips:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
Thank you
Anyhow it's still not working, I have uninstalled all the apps that can be only runt with Root in case that was the cause, but still crashing. The Phone is unrooted now...
I will try now to Re-intall Magisk and hide everything, see if it does work :S
If anyone has a similar issue or idea, all help would me much appreciated.
Thanks again

When you don't have Magisk installed there are a whole bunch of stuff that may trigger the app that MagiskHide otherwise hides. Try with Magisk again...
Thank you very much for your help!!
For people that's having the same issue, I've solved it uninstalling several apps like TWRP MANAGER, ROOT EXPLORER and other apps that can only be used with root, after did a wipe cache and rebooted.
Take care with TWRP, when you install the recovery it asks to install an APK and usually almost everyone hits yes. This app is most likely detected by some apps and considered as system modification. @Didgeridoohan thank you!! ( It may be useful to put tjis in your Wiki for everyone to be warned about this so you dont receive this question again )
Reinstalled Magisk, Hid the Magisk Manager, selected the app to hide on the list and it worked!
Everything's fine now.
Thanks a lot for you kind help

Magisk Hide not working for Pokemon Go

I'm using a Galaxy S8, Android 7.0, Magisk 16.6. When I try to play Pokemon go, it gives me the "OS not supported" message. The 16.3 fix didn't work back when it came out and I haven't been able to play since then. I did check the app in Magisk Hide and I activated the setting to hide Magisk Manager with a random package name, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I should do?
The only thing you can do that will work is to completely uninstall magisk. That should let you play pokemon go.
Pokemon also looks for a bunch of known root apps on your device, not only Magisk. And MagiskHide can't hide other apps.

There are a whole bunch... Busybox installers, system cleaners, etc. There's an old list available somewhere in the Magisk PoGo thread (search), but that list might be outdated. Easiest thing is to uninstall some root apps and see if it works better.
An easier alternative, if you have the means to do it, is to use a clean spare phone/tablet for Pokemon Go, and keep your phone how you need/want it for everything else. Bluetooth data sharing is enough bandwidth to make PoGo work.

Sure.
Make sure you have Pokemon on the Hide list.
Hide the Magisk Manager (in the Manager settings)
Delete the MagiskManager folder on your internal storage (next time you download/install a module through the Manager the folder will be recreated).
Edit: There will likely be an update to Magisk that will hide the MagiskManager folder. But for now this is a workaround.

Hmmm, tried all this, but still PoGo will not comply, even when I sandbox it in the work profile. (island app) The latter sounds a bit strange to me, as it should limit access to anything. (Magisk Manager gets installed, but is hidden)
To be honest, PoGo is just a test for when they start messing with Ingress as well. When it's getting to much trouble to have the app behave, it's out. They are just games, nothing to compromise my device for.
Also rename or delete every file or folder on your internal storage / sdcard that contains "magisk"

Any file? Not only the directory, but one that can be found somewhere on the device/external sdcard? (Like Magisk-v16.7.zip which you need to install it...)
Strange it should see it when sandboxed.
You can try, someone else said so, I did also do it and had no problem anymore so far.
But you should be right, that when its sandboxed it should not see it anyways...

Before using the hide magisk manager option, make sure magisk manager is NOT a system app. This will successfully repack magisk manager.
Then delete magisk fodler from internal storage and hide PoGO.

May be other ROMs come with integrated Magisk. That was the case in mine. Convert it to user app first.
Then try magisk hide again and look for the package name in app info (It should be something random). Then continue with other steps as it is and it should work fine.
Let us know how it goes
Hi togehter,
if you use the Fake GPS Route, then uninstall via TWRP Magisk and then works PoGo (new version) perfekt, that works with my Samsung S5
I have a problem with my Samsung S7 edge, if I uninstall Magisk, then I have the problem, that the S7 go to a bootloop <--- Have anyone a idea?
Samsung S7 Edge
6.0.1
SecurePatch 01.12.2016
TWRP Recovery
If I install Magisk again, then boot the Samsung S7 without a bootloop, but then dont work PoGo
Xamel
Uninstall in the magisk app not by flashing a zip in recovery
Before I rooted my XZ premium I played pokemon go Just fine, afer Just enabling developer options (still locked bootloader and not rooted) it did not work Annymore, switching off developer options fixed pokemon go again.

as the title says i have been having problems getting the youtube app to stop updating , i followed the instructions in the vanced post , i did the method 2 of the magisk installation (where you download the latest version from the page and install the module) placed the install via magisk module and the detach from playstore module on the download folder , all goes normal i even deleted all youtube data , and unistalled the app with titanium backup , and disabled the auto update tick box several times and it still ends up updating youtube and removing the vanced version :/

For the app should be enough.
that's what i always do and it still ends up updating , even with the detach module, maybe i'll have to disable it all together :l
That's werid stopping auto update from the play store should stop all that

Well, it doesn't. I'm experiencing the same.
i am using it on pie. is really frustrating the app update by itself.
SWITCH OFF AUTO UPDATE IN PLAYSTORE ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL.
detach in TB is NOT WORKING also.
but version on nougat doesn't have this issue, maybe google did something fishy on PIE?
I guess you should ask for help in the dedicated threads for Youtube Vanced instead of creating a new thread for this.

Same in Oreo. Never had problem with Nougat.
I installed it just like the OP, it would detach but play store would attach youtube back on the update list by itself every night. When the phone is restarted the detach module in magisk will detach it again, but the next morning, play store would put it back on the list.
use service disabler

Disabling the auto-update from Play Store works fine for me. I've been using Vanced for months and no such issues.

I've been trying to figure out this issue for a while.
Basically issue for me is on Google Pixel XL and now Pixel 3 XL and my friends Moto x4, all on both Android Oreo and Pie... Using Magisk repo install and uninstalling stock YouTube, and then adding enable_detach empty file in cache folder in root along with turning off "Enable auto update" in Google play store for YouTube . Usually this works for a few weeks but every now and then it ignores it and updates itself and turns on auto update without user explicitly allowing it. (Says YouTube was just updated).
I can easily fix it by uninstalling updates again but my friend doesn't know how to do this easily. I also tried to remove YouTube forcefully with titanium backup from system app and detaching months ago but that caused a lot more problems. Currently it gives option to attach to market forced despite it still showing up in market saying update (and auto update off for it)
I wanted to understand the plz and settings.sh options if using specifically Magisk method 1 (Magisk repo). Or are those only if using the other methods under magisk and/or root only option (no Magisk)?
Use the Sudohide xposed module.
This Module will prevent apps from detecting other installed apps on your device. Settings are done on per app basis.
Steps to hide VancedYT (A) from Play Store (B):
1. Select app A in the main list a new list view will be launched
2. Tick the checkbox next to app B in the newly opened list view
3. Press apply to save and back to exist
4. Restart luncher or reboot the phone.
Slow down.
Detach using titanium backup WORKS
For me I could only press "attach to playstore"
So I did. After I got button detach.
It worked and removed it

Debloater

I'm using Andorid Q custom rom and rooted.
I'm not able to uninstall or remove stock google apps from Titanium backup like earlier. It says apk not found for any system app.
Then tried Magiks Debloater and removed Youtube.
Now whenever I try to flash YtVanced via TWRP it says flashed but when I boot to phone I cant find youtube yt vanced.
Whats wrong?
Also, is "/system/product/priv-app" or "/system/priv-app" somethign new path which got introduced in Android Q ? As seems due to this Titanium backup is failing and google made it real hard to remove such apps.
Sorry for being brief, but it sounds like you're using the systemless debloater module. The way this module works is by not *actually* removing the system apks from their directory/folder, but that it writes a systemless "blank" space, which tricks your phone into thinking the app is not installed. That said, the root version of Vanced is named to mimic the package name of the regular YouTube app (same name, so that other apps that would call up YouTube can call up Vanced, instead). If you "debloated" YouTube, then essentially, the debloater is tricking your phone into thinking it (re: Vanced) isn't there. If you were to re-enable the YouTube package name, then it *should* pop back up.

MagiskHide and Banking App Weird behavior

Hello to all folks,
This is a weird one.
My banking app could see rooted state although the app was in the hide list and also the Magisk Manager was hidden too (renamed, reinstalled etc).
So I was out of options until I read this:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHideHidingRoot
Among other useful bits and pieces it says "If an app still can detect Magisk, even if you have it on the Hide list, the Manager is repackaged and everything else from this list of tips is ok, try to uninstall the Manager and see if this helps. If that works, you might be out of luck and the only way to fully use the app in question is to regularly uninstall and then reinstall the Magisk Manager..."
I did so and here is the crazy part...
After uninstalling magisk manager app then a series of things took place:
My banking app now works ok
Root checker says root not properly applied
All apps that need root to work (TitaniumBk, Adaway, CallRecorder) see device as rooted and work flawlessly.
In other words, as like magic everything works fantastic!
Problem/Question/Worry: What will happen after I reboot?
Any ideas please?
Thank you very much!
You just made my day! Someone actually did their homework...
If you don't have the Manager installed you will end up having issues with superuser requests. Reinstalling the Manager after using the banking app is probably a good idea. Or you could probably set up a script or an app to freeze and unfreeze the Manager at the press off a button. I'll have to look into that and add to the guide.
Update:
I had to uninstall and reinstall TitaniumBk and sure enough TitaniumBk didn't get root permissions.
So I installed again Magisk Manager and updated to 8.0.0 and decided to try once more to hide Magisk Manager by renaming it to a different name than "Manager".
I noticed an important difference compared to previous endless times of hiding MM: The newly installed MM had a diferrent icon than the original one with the masked face.
And then...
...magic happened!
All banking apps didn't decect root!
Root checker could see device rooted!
Conclusions:
1. Either the MM 8.0.0 has a better hide MM feature
2.or my installation of MM 7.5.1 wasn't robust
Who knows...
Anyway this is my underatnding and I wsih there is a script to freeze/unfreeze MM with the push of button because in this battle of app developers against MM it's not always safe to assume that the "hide MM" feature will do the trick.
Thnak you again

This, most likely.
With this new Manager, the stub that is used is completely empty (which is why you're seeing the basic Android icon) and much harder to detect.
