That seems to be a Samsung specific bug with the latest module template: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/297
[Magisk] paddy01:
Ah I see, thanks!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
No worries. Forgot to add: you should be able to flash the module zip in recovery.
[Magisk] jenslody:
Or use the attached (not signed) zip.
[Magisk] paddy01:
Oh.. will try ty :)

[Magisk] qvmuhuuxz:
Sorry for the slow message, I didn't see. I don't believe I had any other modules installed.

I can test again, this time using a real custom kernel and the latest magisk.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
I would try that and see what happens.
[Magisk] :
can [MENTION=5194259]ryaniskira[/MENTION] or anyone here possibly provide a copy of the previous release that was compatible with magisk v13.3? Magisk v14.0 is completely broken and the only download available for this extension is the latest one made with the magisk v14 api :(
[Magisk] SuperSandro2000:
Install magisk 14.0
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Unfortunately no. Unless someone has a backup of the v4 template I can't put together a Magisk 13 module again.

EDIT: Actually hold on, I might have a ZIP as I rarely delete files in my Magisk Manager directory. Here.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The v4 template is still kept on a separate branch on GitHub.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Oh, well I had a ZIP of the old module on my device anyway.
[Magisk] :
Thank you! This is the version I needed. Now to figure out why magisk v14 is broken...
[Magisk] cthulhu1987:
Is it safe to use the module on a Galaxy S5 (newest Magisk), I'm kinda worried about the bootloops here.
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5194259]ryaniskira[/MENTION]: The part about having to use this module with v0.103 is incorrect. I'm using v0.102.3 and it seems to be working. The extension is enabled in F-Droid and apps are auto-installing without my manual intervention.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Interesting, the bug where the downloading notification would persist [even after instillation was finished] until F-Droid was force stopped affected me until 0.103, at which point it stopped.
[Magisk] pbanj:
Is it just me or has this been removed from the repo?
[Magisk] paed808:
Not just you. Weird.

Edit: the download link is in the OP for magisk v14

Edit 2: NVM, download link is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620754041 source https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Fdroid-Priv/commit/c3e08802afcc9661ea9315756107c962ed86d715
[Magisk] gudenau:
Odd, this doesn't work on Oreo. Says that it isn't granted permissions.
[Magisk] jay-cp:
Oreo is not supported by this version

Yes. Version 9-27-2017-14 (v9) of the Magisk module includes version 0.2.6:

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Fdroid-Priv

but compatibility with Oreo has been fixed on 0.2.7 only:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

The page in the first link (he GitHub Fdroid-Priv page) has a "v10" listed in the changelog, which would include provileged extension 0.2.7, but the link ("a link to versin 14.0") still points to version 9.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Link is fixed now. I honestly don't know what happened, but the link should go to the correct file now. If not I'll look into it and upload another module with 0.2.7
[Magisk] jay-cp:
link still doesn't work

The problem is still there... See, in this page: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Fdroid-Priv, where it says

"a zip for Magisk 14.0 can be found here", the link points to

[URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620754041"]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620754041[/URL]

Which is the URL for version 9...
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Odd, I'll look into it after class.

Removed the AFH link, and just attached the ZIP to this thread. Tested it one one of my own devices and it is Privileged Extension 0.2.7. If it is still not installing try removing the previously installed module and installing this one, if that does not work I would flash the Magisk beta or wait for this beta to hit release.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
What device do you have? Pixel or Nexus 6P/5X?
[Magisk] jay-cp:
still no go...

It's weird. I got the file from this thread (Fdroid-Priv+9-27-2017-14.zip), and flashed it using Magisk manager. Installation was successful; I rebooted, but then I went to F-Droid and it says I have version 0.2.6 installed (!), and offers to upgrade to 0.2.7. I'll try installing Magisk beta later today...
[Magisk] gudenau:
I have a Pixel XL, I need to update my stuff on here.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
If you have a Pixel XL I'd recommend updating to the 14.2 beta. Just make sure you do a clean install first (reflash your ROM or uninstall Magisk) or you will fail safety net. I have a Pixel XL too hence why I went ahead and updated the module to the new template (for the AB support).
[Magisk] gudenau:
Why would I need to reinstall Magisk 14.2 exactly? The only broken thing is this module.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
If you flash Magisk 14.x over a previous installation you will fail safety net no matter what. Also the module is not broken and it's working perfectly fine on my Pixel XL, and the other version for v14 is working on my Nexus 7, 4 and my LG K7.
[Magisk] gudenau:
I have no idea what's wrong with it then.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
That is odd and I am not on Oreo so I can't test, perhaps it could be a bug with the Privileged Extension itself. 0.2.7 is the first version to have Oreo support so bugs are likely. The only other thing I can think of is in Android Oreo a new feature was added where apps have to be granted a special permission to be able to install apks. Try going into Settings > Apps > Privileged Extension and granting that permission manually. I know apps in the priv-apps folder should have such permissions already, but it's worth a shot and might serve as a workaround until the extensions Oreo support improves.
[Magisk] gudenau:
It's because system apps need additional files that explicitly grant them permissions. You can't just throw something into system apps anymore.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Then you might want to bring that up with the F-Droid team because as of now they only provide the apk itself. If you do give me the link to the report and I'll add my bit in a comment.

When I get home from class, I'll look into their flashable zip to see if they've added anything special to it.
[Magisk] yochananmarqos:
See my Privileged Permission Whitelist module for Oreo. It has support for this module.
[Magisk] gudenau:
I'll give it a shot whenever I fix my phone.
[Magisk] gudenau:
It does indeed work with that module.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Ahhhh, I was digging around with this and do you mind if I intergrate your work into my module?
[Magisk] yochananmarqos:
Sure, go for it! :good:
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Nothing to it at all, does add a minor annoyance to adding apps to the privileged app directory though. Perhaps the permissions could be extrapolated and the xml files generated automatically somehow.
[Magisk] yochananmarqos:
[MENTION=7296895]veez21[/MENTION] figured out how to do it automatically with his Terminal App Systemizer, but for some reason apps weren't being granted the permissions on my 5X. We never did quite figure out why.
[Magisk] im-pulze:
Having problems installing the newest update.

It tells me to install Magisk 15+ even if it's installed (Yes - I didn't forget to reboot after the Magisk Update ;) )
[Magisk] notstevek:
I'm running into a weird error when using this. When I reboot it gets stuck at the white Google logo like a semi-brick, forcing it off and booting into recovery, then clearing davlik cache / cache allows me to boot up fine. If I restart again, I must repeat the cache wipe or it'll stay stuck at the Google logo. Removing the module, I no longer had to do this. Is it because I have a custom kernel?

[Magisk] notstevek:
Yeah, sorry. I'm new to this. Which logs/full pathname?
[Magisk] abacate123:
You can use this app to take logs.
[Magisk] notstevek:
Cheers. :svetius:
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Any update on those logs so I can take a look?
[Magisk] notstevek:
Sorry, my 5x got the BLOD shortly after I posted this, which is why I never uploaded the logs. I apologise for not updating my post mentioning this and having you wait for something I cannot produce.
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
I find this method of installing the F-Droid Privileged Extension works very easy, but is there any Pros or Cons to doing it through Magisk, instead of installing manually?

I installed F-Droid, but then not paying attention I installed the privileged extension, as a apk, which isn't suppored on Oreo, instead you're suppose to flash the org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip. So I don't know if this caused problems, but I went in F-Droid and uninstalled the privileged extension, then booted in TWRP and flashed org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip, but it didn't show the option in the F-Droid settings.

No Offense to this Magisk Module, this is great, and thanks, but I'd like to figure out how to do the manual way if anyone can help?

Thanks
[Magisk] bartoos0:
how to install repo
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Benefit of installing via Magisk is that you retain Safetynet. Generally, writing to /system breaks Safetynet and since Magisk is systemless you can essentially add things to system without actually touching it. Also, as far as I know there is no manual way to install the Privileged Extension, you either flash the official OTA zip like you did, or you flash my Magisk module.
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
I knew about the Systemless part, didn't know SafetyNet had anything to do with, unless you mean breaking the /system part, this I knew...

Thanks
[Magisk] muralimsir:
Hi. Is it necessary to uninstall the normally installed F-Droid before doing this one through Magisk? LG V30+, Stock Orio.8. TWRP and Magisk.
[Magisk] notstevek:
No, this just gives f-droid the ability to work as a system application, as if it were google play, install/update without prompts, automatically. It's not a different version of f-droid, its just an extension, hence the title "f-droid privileged extension". You need f-droid installed, then install this module. Make sure to disable auto updating in f-droid settings like the OP says. This extension does that.
[Magisk] muralimsir:
Neatly explained. Regards.
[Magisk] the-moose:
How to install F-Droid Priviledged Extension without Magisk

Thank you very much for your work, Ryan. Here is how I managed to install it manually, although I needed a little Magisk-related cheat to do so. I have 2 phones: Xperia Z3+ with Magisk (where this installed appropriately), and Galaxy S2 which runs without GApps. As a result of this, this phone does not have Magisk as it does not install in a Google-less system. However, both of them run Lineage OS version 14.1. Therefore to make this happen, I first extracted Fdroid.apk from /system/priv-app/ in the Xperia:

$ adb root
$ adb remount
$ adb pull /system/priv-app/Fdroid.apk

Thereafter, I connected the Galaxy without Magisk and pushed this file into the same location of this phone:

$ adb root
$ adb remount
$ adb push Fdroid.apk /system/priv-app/
$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/Fdroid.apk
$ adb reboot

... and it works just fine. :victory:

If for some reason, a person wants to remove this as the system app, run the following code:

$ adb root
$ adb remount
$ adb shell rm -f /system/priv-app/Fdroid.apk
$ adb reboot

I am happy to share this priv-app apk with others, if they wish, unless they wish to download the original version directly from the author's GitHub page or the F-Droid repository. Ensure that you rename the file to Fdroid.apk before you do so. The apk can be found here (remove spaces):

https : //f-droid . org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged_2080.apk
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Off topic, but this statement caught my attention. What do you mean? Magisk does not require you to have Gapps installed (or am I misunderstanding you?)...
[Magisk] the-moose:
That's a good observation. I tried a lot, but neither Magisk nor SuperSU would install on Lineage OS without GApps. I believe that this could be because of Google dependencies built into both of them. Lineage's own SU add-on is the only one that works for such a system. Therefore, in the absence of Google Play, F-Droid becomes the most important application and it becomes necessary to install this privileged extension. I found this extraction of the apk and direct installation into /system/priv-app/ to be the easiest method to do so. The system behaves exactly like Replicant now.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I still don't know what you're talking about... There are absolutely no Google dependencies in either Magisk or, as far as I know (since I've not been involved at all in the development of it), SuperSU.
[Magisk] the-moose:
My bad. As i said, it was speculation. Perhaps the install was corrupted, but neither Magisk nor SuperSU could be installed even after multiple attempts with various Lineage OS nightlies. So I certainly do not know why this would behave this way. That was the only conclusion that made sense to me, which I now know was incorrect. Thank you for the clarification. In any case, my manual installation method on a Magisk-less and GApps-less system (described on page 9) works, which is a relief.
[Magisk] ingomueller.net:
I am using F-Droid 1.5.1, Magisk 18.0, and the version of 2018-09-02 of the Privileged Extension module. When I install or update apps in F-Droid, the package downloads fine, but gets stuck with "Installing AppX..." It used to work fine on my phone. It *could* be broken since I upgraded from Magisk 17.0. Is this app compatible with Magisk 18.0? If yes, any idea about what else I could try?
[Magisk] LinuxPanda:
New version of privileged app is available. Request you to update the module. Thanks. :)

I'm using it with magisk 18 and it works fine.
[Magisk] ingomueller.net:
0.2.7 and 0.2.9 work for me if flashed from TWRP. You're saying that, to get them in Magisk as well, the magisk module needs to be updated by its developer, right?
[Magisk] LinuxPanda:
Yes the module needs to be updated.

In also using the old version bundled with the module and it works fine. New version 0.2.9 has Oreo bug fix.
[Magisk] SUPERUSER:
I have a question about F-Droid Privileged Extension Magisk module

It work perfectly in all other roms on my Mi Max 3 but not on xiaomi.eu, I get error code "Error -110: The system failed to install the package because of system issues."

If I go to settings and de-select Privileged Extension under Expert mode I can install the app with F-droid but not if this is enabled

If logs are needed I can replicate the error and send logs

This seems to be already discussed earlier but no solution was contributed

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/1283
[Magisk] Klizi:
How to solve this error 110 problem? It only soccer whenever i turn on the privileged extension option from settings in f-droid.

This is what I did.

1 Wipe All partitions including data.

2 Clean flash MIUI rom followed by magisk

3 install F-Droid apk

4. turned on this magisk module (f-droid privileged)

5. reboot

installed an app from f-droid. failed and gives 110 error.

unchecked privileged extension from f-droid settings. Installed an app from f-droid again, succeed.

Device: Redmi note 7 (Lavender). Rom Global miui for RN7 (Lavender)

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Facing the same issue. I think Privileged extension doesn't get the root permission. I dont know how to fix it. Maybe we should report this to F-Droid project on gitlab.com by creating an issues?

Because I tried flashing privileged zip via TWRP too. same effect.
[Magisk] Azims Lives:
It seems this issue only occurred on MIUI. I'm still can't find any solution.
[Magisk] yashinodon:
Need to be updated for the latest Magisk (v20)
[Magisk] a1291762:
There's been an update to the fdroid privileged extension. But it's fine to install it normally, since it works like an update to a system app (with this module making it a system app).
[Magisk] knpk13:
The extension hasn't been working for me lately. I have to install apks manually via the package installer. Is that because the module hasn't been updated for the latest magisk version? I'm on the Canary channel.
[Magisk] Mr. Fitzie:
the current version corresponding to the current version (0.2.11) of the F-Droid Privileged Extension is inside the masgisk module repository that magisk manager app can retrieve (updated Nov 23, 2019). The last version posted in this thread (in the OP) seems to be not current, and should be avoided. This is mentioned in post #2.
[Magisk] fobtob387:
There is a fork with constant updates for the folks looking for an updated module: daemonspudguy/Fdroid-Classic-Priv: Fdroid-Priv (github.com) Latest commit was last month.

Works a treat for me :)
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Are you the dev? If you are feel free to submit a PR and I will look over and merge it. If not I will see and merge in his changes.
[Magisk] fobtob387:
I'm not the dev sorry.
[Magisk] zedoc:
Hi,

Tried to update from magisk 21.4 repo but not working, privilege section is gone from F-Droid (v1.11) expert mode after reboot...

i've manually reinstall the 2019-11-23(18) version from storage and it's working.

i'm on LOS 17.1 official with MicroG nanodroid.
[Magisk] daemonspudguy:
I am the dev, and I am here to ask why you reverted the PR change. I 100% consent to my fork being used to replace this aging module.
[Magisk] KRafi:
It's not working. I'm getting this error in my Android 10 device with F-Droid 1.11 whenever I try to install a package:

Error -110: The system failed to install the package because of system issues.
[Magisk] KRafi:
How to install it? I'm getting unzip error in Magisk.
[Magisk] curiousrom:
@ryaniskira - Since the module repo has been removed from the newest Magisk app versions maybe you could attach your most recent module to the OP?

BTW your F-Droid Privileged Extension Magisk Module 2021-07-21 works fine on Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 18.1 klte build 2021-12-19 + MindTheGapps + Magisk 23.0 so thanks! :cool: 👍

[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
I have the privileged extension working fine on Android 11 stock Samsung firmware, but I don't have it installed as a Magisk module. No point for me, since the APK and its' accompanying permissions XML file are only kilobytes in size.

I just manually placed the APK in /system/priv-app and the XML to /system/etc/permissions, then chmod'ed both to 0644. All works as intended after rebooting.
[Magisk] rmroot:
I flashed the module in magisk 24.1 but it doesn't work, should I install it manually? How?
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
Why not just use the manual method, like the one I detailed in my post on this page? It's not systemless, but still working fine on Android 11/12, tested on several stock Samsung firmwares.
[Magisk] TaZeR369:
Hi, I updated the magisk module myself by just overwriting the old fdroid.apk with the new one inside the module package and updated the script only to reflect the version change.

For some reason it doesn't work if its updated as a user app, but this way is working for me. Feel free to do it yourself its quite simple.

Or use the one I prepared - Magisk flashable zip download below.
[Magisk] nokulan:
I have the privileged extension Magisk module running on my Samsung tablet running LineageOS 12.1 and Magisk v24.3 flawlessly.

So a very stupid question: Where is the Magisk module repository gone? I don't seem to be able to find it within Magisk manager app but am certain that I found the systemless privileged extension module that way?!
[Magisk] okno13:
Hi, Nokulan! Magisk has discontinued the Magisk Modules Repo as discussed in the v24.0 release notes. While developers can now use the updateJson setting in their modules for federated updating, some users may find this annoying. Tools such as Fox's MMM exist, but they are so new that not all modules have signed up yet. As such, F-Droid Privileged Extension is not there. Let me know if you need anything else! :)
[Magisk] xerves78:

I already attached the updated systemless install a few posts above, https://xdaforums.com/t/module-f-droid-privileged-extension.3587068/post-86448919 (version 0.2.13). I just did not edit the README to reflect any version changes, it works well however.

The one posted above is pretty much the same thing, we both just updated the original authors module with the new .apk version. Another repo with a copy here: https://github.com/entr0pia/Fdroid-Priv/releases/

[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
It's not even necessary to have FDroid installed as a system app, it will still install apps with system priveleges. Just as long as the priv extension is a system app, the main FDroid can be installed as a user app only (non-system app), but will still be able to make use of the priv extension helper.

Hello everyone.

What is this module actually intended for and is it still up2date? After rooting my OnePlus Nord 2T, I quickly installed it using a module manager with some others without thinking about... 😋
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
If you don't know what it's for, then you probably don't need it. Delete the module from Magisk, move on.
[Magisk] 8y73:
I knew it some time ago. But this is more than one year ago. After rooting I lost all my data, restore was sh**. I. Installed all modules which I knew from my old Samsung which I rooted more than one year ago. It could be 11/2 to 2 years...

Just installed all this plugins because I was tired after rooting, setup, etc. and I knew the names...

@AnonVendetta

Can you just answer my post if you know it or stop writing a nonsense answer? Thanks
[Magisk] Big Dumb Object:
This module integrates the official F-Droid Privileged Extension with the system, allowing F-Droid to install and automatically update your applications in the background.
[Magisk] AnonVendetta:
I did answer you, and I was trying to give a helpful answer. Which remains the same.

To clarify:

If you don't use F-Droid, then you don't need the priveleged extension module, so you can just delete it. But if you do use F-Droid *AND* want apps to install without manual confirmation every time, then keep the module. That's the whole point of the extension/module.

And in the future, try not to install stuff without doing a little research first. You will save yourself many headaches.
[Magisk] 8y73:
Thanks. That was an useful answer. 🙂👍

Of course I use F-Droid and it is installed. Why are the Readme's of some modules written in this relatively difficult English?

It's not my mother language so I have some problems to understand some of them 100%. No matter whether with a translator or not.
