Block ads - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is it even possible to block ads on Instagram and youtube and facebook apps? I literally tried all the block ads apps that I could find without any success

I've tried many and they don't work really.
The best ever I've used was Energized Protection which is a Magisk Module and must be rooted to use that. Since it's impossible to like root P30 Pro, it's like useless.
Even if you do root, why would anyone want to go to Android 9.1
If you find something that works, be sure to let others know

Well, I unlocked the bootloader using DC unlocker and I've been able to root my device but I still can't get rid of ads on youtube, Instagram, and facebook apps

Oh that's good, you're rooted!
You need to install Magisk and once installed, look for the module "Energized Protection".
Follow the installation steps they provide you.
More info: https://energized.pro/
Alternatively you can use NetGuard : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.faircode.netguard
I would suggest to support the developer and use the Pro Version.
Once NetGuard is installed, look at my screenshots, please go to Options > Advanced Options
Turn on:
- Filter Traffic
- Filter UDP Traffic
- Block Domain Names
Go to Settings > Backup
then from the energized protection website, you can use the block list in txt and paste it into NetGuard's Host file Download, so it indicates to use the list to block Ads.
I can confirm with NetGuard: No more Google Ads and other miscellaneous ads on websites, I'm also not seeing any Ads using the XDA app. ☺
Im using the "Basic" package blocklist from Energized Protection website.

If you want premium YouTube services, consider upgrading to YouTube Vanced.
https://vancedapp.com/
You'll have to download MicroG and add your Google Account. Once after you set that up, you can install YouTube Vanced.
Follow those steps correctly and no more Ads or Commercials.
I don't use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter so can't say if it will block those Ads, I'm assuming it will. Please test and let me know.
Thanks

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial! I actually tried Energized Protection option and it did not work on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube apps. I also tried adaway and it did not work either.
Since I couldn't block ads, I went ahead and updated my device to EMUI 10 because I don't like EMUI 9 and there's no point in using it.
I also could not install TWRP on my device. Is there any solution to install custom ROM on P30 Pro? If there's a way to do that, I'll downgrade to EMUI 9 and root my phone again and install a custom ROM. Thank you.

Hi,
You're welcome!
Unfortunately I don't know of any custom ROMS for P30 Pro, I'm stock and just using NetGuard to block my ads, working great so far no ads for me.
I used same setup on my old Nova 5T and didn't work with NetGuard, but seems to work perfect on P30 Pro.
YouTube Vanced shouldn't have any Ads.

Accidently removed huawei dialer

Hi everyone,
i wanted to remove duplicate apps like com.android.google.contacts and com.android.contacts (same for calendar) thanks to EMUI.
I did it with adb following guides from the xda-forum.
Afterwards i realized my telephone-app / dialer was gone and i can't find a working apk of a google dialer.
Can someone provide me the official emui dialer apk or help out on another way?
Thanks guys!
first of all, you can flash stock rom to get everything back.... 2nd why not freezes the apps rather then delete them?
how does freezing the app work? I wanted to get rid of the double icons in my apps-drawer...

If you have titanium backup you can basically disable/freeze any app.
ok i will try this next time. nobody can help me with the apk-file?

Because its in the playstore so why would you need an APK? and is google really that hard?
well the version on google play doesn't work on huawei emui, that's the issue

Sadly not for me, maybe it's a problem with my european version of the p20 pro
Well titanium backup kan freeze a app when youi have root but you need to do it in ADB if you dont have root.
if you're rooted with magisk, download and install google framework module. It'll allow you to install google phone app directly from playstore.
@aederson, Extract the contents of this zip folder to system/priv-app/Contacts. You will probably need to recreate the Contacts folder. After reboot you should have your dialer back if that is all that was deleted. The dialer is part of the contacts APK so you need it installed to keep the stock dialer. Please hit thanks if this works.
If you are not rooted you may be out of luck aside from performing a system recovery. You can uninstall system apps via adb without root but I haven't found a method of putting them back yet that doesn't require su privilege.
many thanks saskatoon. Same problem here. I think the last option is the factory reset .... or root...

Have you tried this on p20 pro? A bit hesitant to try it out blindly as my phone is currently my daily driver.
Update:
Nevermind, got it working. Thanks for the info.

Moto x4 Android one Payton fi help

Sorry if this is a repeat question I couldn't find the exact answer I need.
I have the Android one Google fi variant X4 , recently I had to unlock my bootloader and reflash Payton fi due to corrupt os error message.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to flash a custom kernel like magisk or another in order to pass security check for Netflix, Google pay , etc.
Is there a way to do it without having to lose my data again? I don't really want to relock my bootloader either in case of more issues.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Is Netflix, Google pay or other things failing to work? Have you checked your safetynet status? There are apps in the google play store that can check it.
---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------
You shouldn't lose your data just by installing magisk. Here is the official magsik thread where you can find Installation Instructions and the magisk installation files.
Generally magisk installation would go like this:
Download the magisk installation zip onto your x4.
Follow instructions on this page twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotox4.html to boot into twrp.
Flash the magisk installation zip using twrp.
I probably should have added a little more information.
I was going to add some screenshots I'm too new though so I'm not allowed to yet.
Widevine cdm says: security L1
Google play says: play protect, device not supported. This is even after adding it on the Google page
Netflix says device not compatible with this version, even though I had it before unlocking my bootloader
Google pay says: Your phone doesn't meet software standards. You can't pay contactless with this device. It may be rooted, or using uncertified software.
I should also add that when I had to reflash a couple weeks ago it was the first time I used adb/fastboot

I know when one is new to this stuff it can be a bit daunting.
So I just want to check that you need to pass safetynet. Do you want to use google pay? That's the number one thing that needs safetynet. Some banking apps and some games might also look for safetynet.
Netflix should work, once you get it installed.
My x4 just recently changed to failing safetynet. Not sure what triggered it but none of the apps I use seem to care so I haven't bothered trying to return to passing safetynet. Netflix still works. Though it doesn't show up in the goggle play store on my x4. It shows in Aurora Store I use Aurora because it has app search filters & selective app updating plus it avoids annoyances like goggle play claiming netflix isn't compatible. Apps still come from direct from google servers, Aurora just serves as an alternate interface. For me, Netflix has never seemed to care about safetynet or visible root on the x4 or my tablet. You could also sideload netflix from apkmirror.com (they verify app signatures, showing that apps are not altered).

Do you mean in google play store, settings, bottom of the page, it says "Play Protect certification Device is not certified"?

My tablet says not certified. Netflix still works.
Yes it's in the Google play settings that it says that. So it sounds like I could possibly use Netflix by downloading from an alternate app store or apk mirror.
I'd still like to be able to use Google pay again as well. I don't want to install a new rom but I read somewhere that a custom kernel could fix it.
I looked at the magisk page and I guess I'm a little confused about whether I'd be installing a new rom with it. I'd like to be able to go back to ota updates when they become available. I'm a fan of the Google experience which is why I don't really want to switch roms
Yes I want to pass safetynet

Cannot create work profile - Google Chat

Hi Guys. It's been a while since I've been here on XDA.
I've been trying to log in to Google Chat with my work google account but I am getting the error message "Cannot create work profile - The security policy prevents the creation of a work profile because a custom OS has been installed on this device."
I am not rooted but I am currently running hadesROM v11.0 with hadesKernel-v1.4. (I haven't installed any update for this ROM as I basically quit on modding my phone and was content with the features I have).
I guess, my question is - Is there a way to bypass this error and be able to login with my work google account without rooting or flashing stock ROM?
I am thinking on flashing stock ROM as a last ditch effort but I will be losing a lot of features from this custom ROM.
Any advise or input will be very much appreciated. Thank you!!
P.S. My Bixby button is also gone so I can't get to recovery unless I try to poke something in the button whole. HAHA.
butt. hole

Jokes aside, you should check if Google SafetyNet is passing on your phone! You can download a simple SafetyNet Check App from the Play Store.
You unlocked the bootloader & modified the system, which triggers SafetyNet.
SafetyNet needs to pass, in order for some apps (Banking Apps, Google Pay) & some games (like Mario Kart Tour or Fortnite) to work.
If SafetyNet is triggered, you'll also stop seeing Netflix in the Play Store, and in the Play Store Settings, in the bottom it'll say "Device is not certified".
You can make SafetyNet pass (even with unlocked BL + modified system!), by using Magisk and enabling MagiskHide in its settings.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
Safetynet does pass and Play Store says it's certified.
My banking apps are also working fine so I managed to stay on this ROM for a long time.
Seems like I'll end up wiping my phone and try other ROMs or flash the stock firmware. I'll keep googling before Saturday comes.

Oof. Ok. As a last resort, you could try Magisk and its MagiskHide feature. In the app you can tell it to spoof to your specified apps.
Dunno if that'll work, but I'm mentioning it because you don't have to reset your system to install Magisk.
Apps can also look for folders like TWRP in phone storage, and then refuse to function. Mario Kart is one of those games that try to search for such folders.
So if you have folders or apps, that could reveal that you're running a modified system, pay attention to that.

Question Should I go with rooting of Mi 11 Ultra?

I'm from India and have been using the Mi 11 Ultra v13.0.5.0 (SKAINXM) since November 2021. However, I'm disappointed to learn that the MiUI14 update is not yet available for the Mi 11 Ultra (STAR) in India.
I understand that rooting a phone has many advantages, but I'm unsure whether or not to root my Mi 11 Ultra. Could you please suggest some Magisk Modules and APKs that can help me get the most out of rooting my device, including improving the performance of the Stock Mi-Camera and Leica Camera for rooted phones?
I've already submitted a request to Xiaomi to unlock my bootloader, and timeline of 168Hrs has passed.
I would appreciate any advice you could offer.
You can use Miflash and install a stock MIUI14 version or a Xiaomi EU rom(better than stock)Stable or Weekly.

These roms are stock based and do not add or remove bands.
I recommend a Weekly rom (latest Xiaomi features. updated every week).
Hybrid rom, installable with TWRP or with a PC.
The first installation requires formatting the data with the TWRP or using the First install.bat file included in the folder extracted from the zip.
Back up your data before. (MIcloud for example).
Then the updates will be done either with OTA+TWRP or the Update.bat file with a PC.
@NOSS8 Thanks Dear...
Do you refer V14.0.23.3.7.DEV for my 11 ultra?
You say that I should flash Stock/EU weekly ROM 1st and then root it with Magisk...

Why root, these roms have the play store certified without.
I need to install LEICA (Cemera mod) to improve camera quality which may not be available without rooting.

Flash the Weekly, then root+Magisk+zygisk+safety net.
Im looks like there is a LEICA APK.

I rooted by MI 11 ultra but unfortunately PayTM & BHIM UPI banking apps are not working anymore even after tagging them on Magisk. I don't have any other wayout except unroot my phone. I am presently v13.0.5.0 SKAINXM flahsed patched boot.img through Magistk in fastboot mode.
I want to know how to unroot the mobile so that I can use banking apps. I have factory reset by phone but that didn't changed anything and my banking apps still showing rooted phone.
Kindly help.
Unroot with Magisk then delete Magisk and the Magisk folder(s).
If the bootloader remains unlocked, banking apps may not work.

Xiaomi Eu rom remains the best alternative.
Here you can see how to bypass Safety Net with Magisk. No need to unroot because it may not solve the problem.
SafetyNet is deprecated!
Wallet and other apps (particularly Google apps) use Play Integrity API, make sure to pass BASIC_INTEGRITY and DEVICE_INTEGRITY
There are threads with instructions and everything on XDA
---
Playstore, Settings, About, tap several times on the version number until you become developer
Then go to Settings, General, newly unleashed Developer options, Play Integrity - Check Integrity
Thanks a lot dear friends for your suggestions.

General ColorOS Experience

Hello All
i have Oneplus 10 PRO Chines version, i am the 2nd owner, i got it pre-installed with oxygenOS, i have tried to enable call recording and it succeeded only with root magisk which affected my banking Apps. also one of my banking apps never open with/without root as it was affected with the unlocked bootloader.
i have decided to move to ColorOS and i was surprised, the OS is very stable, it has built in call recording, the phone Battery has a huge improvement over the OxygenOS i am using the phone almost all the time and the battery percentage barely drops. the OS comes with many chines apps which i removed 90% of it. the battery icon change to green when i connect normal charger and change to blue when i connect the 80W charger. it has a built in Mail app which helps me with my work Email in separate app then Gmail, and i feel the phone is more smooth. and i got ride of the orange warning after locking the bootloader.
one note, google services is supported, i only had to download google play store and install it manually.
the below is the steps for migrating from OxygenOS to ColorOS.
1- Downgrade to OxygenOS 12 A17 4.2 GB
2- Install ColorOS 12 A13 6.6 GB
3- OTA ColorOS to 12 A19 about 5.5 GB
4- OTA ColorOS to 13 about 6.5 GB
5- OTA ColorOS to 13 11_C_28 "this is the Latest OTA" 1.5 GB
Warning I have followed a guide here which downgrade to OOS 12 then upgrade directly to COS 13, and my SIM cards did not work neither connecting the phone to PC, i had to use the above yes huge amount of wasted bandwidth but safe and functional.
i wanted to share my experience to help the others, IMPORTANT my phone is Chines N2210 so it comes with ColorOS and it is safe to install it, i don't know if you can install ColorOS on different models. i did not test it and i will not recommend it.
I really recommend testing ColorOS. I'm using C.52 and liked oppo apps. The only reason i sometimes i think go back to OOS, its my language, ColorOS dont have portuguese.

COS has a bunch more spyware. As far as the banking apps, you can hide root access to apps individually.
Can I install it on a NE2215?

are you sure you did it properly? if all you did was install magisk and configure denylist, you did not do everything possible.
you have to use AND ALSO configure 2 additional magisk modules. in addition, you should clear data for a few android services. research a little better and you will pass literally any root check for any app, including banking, market trading, literally anything. it hides bootloader unlock as well as root. the only thing we cannot ever get is full widevine access for full HD netflix (but this is due to OnePlus screwing something up, not because root access and unlock cannot be properly hidden)
you need to look into installing AND CONFIGURING "Universal SafetyNet Fix", AND "MagiskHide Props Config". you can learn how online. good luck.
Can you share the link for ColorOS 12 A13?, I already downloaded a version from 4pda But it doesn't show up in the local update.
Now I'm wondering if I can directly use the coloros rollback to switch roms
How go back to OOS?
Hi, I'm also having the same device NE2210. My bootloader is relocked by the seller.
To go back to Color OS do I need to unlock the boot loader? and follow your instructions.
Did you relocked the bootloader after installed the colorOS ?
