[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Your first assumption is correct. The package name will change from com.topjohnwu.magisk to something random.
[Magisk] Mr. Abraxas:
Ok, so what is it hiding itself from? Or when I hide other apps, what is it hiding them from? Like if I have a game I want to hide, it keeps the game in my app drawer, so it is not really hiding it from my own eyes.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You've got things mixed up I believe. Magisk doesn't hide other apps. It hides itself from the apps and processes you add to the Hide list. When the app is launched, Magisk detects this and unmounts all Magisk mounts and voila, it'll be a lot harder for apps to detect it's presence.

Some apps also look for the package name, com.topjohnwu.magisk, and won't run if they detect it. Hence the random name...
[Magisk] Mr. Abraxas:
I am wondering what apps look for this. What sort of app would care if you are rooted?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
:laugh:

Examples:

Android Pay

Netflix

Pokemon Go

Microsoft Intune

TV providers

Lots of banking apps

Etc, etc

Quite many, actually...
[Magisk] Mr. Abraxas:
Hmmm. Ok then. Well I got my device rooted, now I just have to figure out how to make apps hide from anyone's eyes.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That sounds like something you'd use Xposed for.

Or, you could use a launcher like Nova that has this ability built-in (Settings - App & widget drawers - Hide apps). Much easier...
[Magisk] Mr. Abraxas:
Used Nova before. Might do so again.
[Magisk] initguru:
Hi guys,

I have a different problem from the op's one.

I use Oneplus 3T and I've moved from stock to Nitrogen. (Oreo 8.1). Magisk version is 16.0.

Because one banking app looks for Magisk package name, I used to hide Magisk Manager on the stock rom.

Now on Nitrogen with custom kernels such as Caesium or Mady's Extended, after hiding Magisk Manager the app hang up at startup.

Other apps which need su also do not work too, they hang up at finding su.

Does anyone here have a similar problem?

Any advice would be really helpful.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Grab a logcat (through adb) when the app hangs.

After that you can get out of this issue by downloading and installing the Manager from the release thread.
[Magisk] initguru:
Thanks for the reply.

I just followed the way you said and it just installs a new Magisk Manager along with renamed one.

Also apps seem looking at the new Manager, not a renamed one.

Right after hiding Magisk Manager, I tried to launch an app then logcat showed:

04-12 21:27:29.728 471 9253 E Magisk : su: cannot find requester
04-12 21:27:29.758 471 9258 E Magisk : su: cannot find requester
04-12 21:27:29.760 9259 9259 W Magisk : su: request rejected (10087->0)
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
When you open the newly installed (unhidden) Manager, it should automatically uninstall the repackaged one. If it doesn't you've got some kind of issue... Uninstall the repackaged non-functioning Manager and try again, but make sure to grab a logcat when doing it. If it fails again, that log might show why.
[Magisk] initguru:
This is what I did:

- Hide manager

- Launch hidden Manager

- It hangs, so force killed

- Install a new unhidden Manager

- Launch unhidden Manager, but it seems not uninstalling hidden Manager

- Manually uninstall hidden Manager

Logcat attached to Pastebin:

I'm having the exact same issue. Am on 16.4.

Once the manager hidden, root is no longer detected by the app that was giving me issues, but adaway and ex kernel manager no longer get root permissions.

Had there been any advancement on this issue?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
[Magisk] Dreamer(3MF):
Magisk-v16.4 Is Not Suitable For Most Of Us To Use Due To Many Issues So That Flash Its Replacement Magisk-v16.3.1(ThePatchedBinary) From This Link https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962339331458996616 Or Magisk-v16.3 (Instead Of Magisk-v16.4).
[Magisk] joaste:
Thanks for the suggestion. Same result though.

For info, I've been using 16.4 for some time now without issues. It is the first time however that I've had an app detect root with magisk hide enabled. That is why I tried the hide magisk manager option on the settings. That worked, but other apps could no longer get root access.

Same thing is happening with 16.3.1.

Any ideas?
[Magisk] kid_maximus:
Having the same issue with 16.7 on oreo, works fine on nougat, did you manage to find a fix for it?
[Magisk] joaste:
Unfortunately not.
[Magisk] kid_maximus:
found a fix, magisk v14.5 and manager v5.4.3 repackage perfectly on aosp 8.1, don't know why v15 and v16 magisk doesn't repackage, tried all the versions :confused:
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That's not a fix. That's a band-aid... If you want a fix you'll have to provide logs and lots of details about the issue. No logs, no fix.
[Magisk] kid_maximus:
I've got a Xiaomi Mi Note 2, running AospExtended 8.1 oreo custom rom, pepsy kernel, magisk 16.7. Have no modules installed, using core only mode.

I can grant su to apps with the latest beta build, and kantjer build.

I then try to repackage magisk manager, it says it will take a while, manager closes, 2nd app appears in the app drawer, old app disappears, new app has the new package name, can successfully open new app, but can't grant su to apps. From starting the repack to trying to grant su to an app, the only line of code that appears in the magisk log is below when I try to open an app that requires su.

08-24 11:26:00.848 482 4086 E Magisk : su: cannot find manager

If I now restart the phone and try to open the repacked manager, it hangs on the magisk logo. I then have to reinstall the manager apk and uninstall the repacked one and everything is back to the way it was.

The problem doesn't occur with the v14.5 magisk build, and v5.4.3 magisk manager. I can successfully repack the manager and grant su with the repacked manager right away.

Also tested the problem on my other phone, Xiaomi Mi 5, RR custom rom with 7.1.2 nougat, magisk 16.7. Repacks perfectly, and can grant su to apps with no issues.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
[MENTION=4340339]kid_maximus[/MENTION] You're not the only one with that issue. There's been several reports. For some reason it seems like the Magisk database is cleared out whenever the Manager is repackaged, meaning that Magisk doesn't recognise the repackaged Manager's package name, meaning it won't work. It only happens for some users, and it's known. No ETA on a fix...

A temporary workaround is described here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/m...systemless-t3432382/post77340171#post77340171

Have been using the Pixel 2 for around a month now and love some of the features, but it has too many irritations to make me think it was worth 800 quid.

1. The fingerprint scanner fails every day, insisting on a PIN instead.

2. The camera takes some great photos, but some are sharp in places and blurred in other places where they shouldn't be.

3. The hotspot cuts out continuously.

4. When I use the hotspot and bluetooth audio at the same time, the audio stutters when pages are loading on the connected device.

5. Bluetooth connection to my Apt-X speaker is glitchy. I have to turn off the HD audio option, connect and then turn it back on again.

if fingerprint is bad, RMA it.... they know its a problem.

Yeah, I've never had a single issue with the fingerprint reader, I think you may have a bad device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dielahn:

This is very surprising to me as this does not seem to be a widely reported issue, though I've seen it mentioned by some. My fingerprint reader is flawless and even seems a bit faster than my original Pixel XL. I notice it does not read well if my hands are dirty, very dry, or wet.

WTF do you even mean by deserved anyway? Are you saying that my opinion is not worthy of this forum? I must read all your posts and see if they deserve to be where they are. Actually, second thoughts, I don't think I'll bother...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Fuzzy13:
I also don't have any of the issues listed. I absolutely love my 2 XL. The slight blue tint has extreme angles is nothing new and it's actually kind of surprising as to why it made so many headlines. OLED panels do it. Some more or less than others. Nexus 6 didn't have the greatest panel and it looked rough at sharp angles and it didn't make the news like the Pixel 2 XL has. The slight speaker crackle that happens with certain frequencies would be the 1 thing i wish I could change. But being that watching videos or using the front facing speakers only accounts for maybe 10% of what I use my phone for and on top of that it only happens with certain frequencies (right around 500mhz), it's not that big of a deal.

All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and I wish others were as happy as I am. RMA it and get another one and hopefully you'll end up with one you're satisfied with.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Meanwhile, I've experienced none of these issues and it is, without question, the best phone I've ever owned.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chriskwarren:
I have a scar on my right index finger and the V30 and 2XL both had a hard time reading that finger in the area the scar is located. Works great on my other fingers. Other phones like the Xiaomi Mi A1 and various Samsung devices never had an issue with the scar.

So my experience is that the fingerprint scanner is a bit on the picky side. I just assumed that the V30 and the 2XL shares a scanner component being made by LG.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NOSTALGIA:

This phone is great but it definitely isn't worth the price tag in my opinion. I just got it about 5 days ago and I'm a little disappointed. I came from the note 8 which, to me, is absolutely better than this in almost every way imaginable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Other than camera, software, updates, fingerprint scanner, speakers. Get outta here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CJ-Wylde:
I've had mine for about 2 weeks now, but already know it was definitely worth the price. I've had a lot of Samsung, LG, Motorola & Apple devices over the years, switching nearly every 6 months... My OpenPlus 3T lasted the longest and was definitely a great phone, but now I have the Pixel 2 XL and after adjusting to the blue-shift, which wasn't really that noticeable unless I looked for it, this thing is top-notch! All my photos get compliments and my device hasn't had any issues with the fingerprint scanner or anything else. It was easy enough to unlock, root and get what I wanted going on it. I would RMA your phone if it has any issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Boeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh (jk buddy :)), but all jokes aside the Note 8 (wich i had too) has the best screen in the market right now but for the rest i think the user xperience, updates, camera and off course the speakers are much better on the Pixel phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
No, get out of your feelings.

Why is the pixel software better? How? It gets updates faster but I would argue that the note software is better because of it's features and how there's so much more you can do as a productivity device. Everyone knows the note's display is better and that's an understatement, the note charges faster, in my experience they have comparable battery life. Overall the note is a better package like MKBHD said.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. There is nothing like better, only different. An apple is not better then a pear and its good people have choices. Android purists buy Pixel, Nokia and Sony phones and those who want more features buy Samsung phones for instance. Both have their pros and cons but both are good for the ones that buy them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
For sure. Everyone speaks from their own perspective.

Before I got the pixel, I heard everyone saying how wonderful it was and how it's amazing and all that as well as the display being subpar. When I first got the device, I was impressed in the build quality, still am. I wasn't happy with the display cause the colors looked dull but after changing the settings to saturated, I have zero complaints about the display. It's not the best but I can live with it. The camera is solid, it's as good as they say. But for the rest man, honestly I just don't see it. I had the 5T also and they said this is faster and smoother but I don't see that. And considering the high price here, I don't think it's worth it, I would recommend the 5T and save a few hundred dollars over the pixel 2 xl. The speakers are good but they're not that loud and it does crack sometimes. I don't know man. It's a good phone but it definitely isn't the best. I'll take the Note 8 and 5T over it. Note 8 for complete package and 5T because its almost just as good for nearly half the price.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilley:
Yea I"ve wanted to try the Note 8 but just havent came across a used one that is cheap enough to justify buying it to "try" I used the S8 for a couple months up until the 2XL came out and besides the battery life (i think i had a lemon at 2-3 hours of SOT max) I did enjoy using it. Way better then I remember from my Note 4 days. I just hope they dont slow down like previous Samsung phones did in the past. I havent used one long enough to give it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pixelsquish:
Agreed. Some people like Samsung apps and crazy cartoonish colors. I have no interest in either. They should buy Samsungs and stick with them. End of story.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BabelHuber:
The Pixel 2 xl suffers from the display lottery. Mine is fine, compared to the SGS8 Plus I see no difference which would bother me. Also no problem with the speakers at all.

The Note 8 has a full glass body, the Samsung software I loathe and probably won't ever get a fully working AOSP ROM. So it was out for me.

The 5T has a good price/performance ratio, but the Pixel has a better camera and better software.

My carrier doesn't sell the 5T, so a subsidized Pixel s cheaper than the 5T for me, which makes the Pixel 2 XL a no-brainer.

Of course YMMV, but the Pixel 2 XL is the best phone I have ever had. Expensive yes, perhaps too expensive, but also very good
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
I respect that. Again, matter of opinion. My 2XL display is just fine especially with the saturated mode, I have no complaints.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Lol

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

It's smoother and doesn't lag and doesn't look like a joke. I know the screen is better. But I didn't mention the screen. You said the note 8 is better in every way...which just sounds like a silly fanboy cause I mentioned a few things that the pixel is clearly superior. And there's no way the note 8 has as good battery life. The battery on the note 8 is it's weakest thing. A 3000mah battery with a 6.3 inch screen with Samsung software...nah your looking at 4 hours SOT tops. And that's what many people have said. would take the panda look of my pixel over a generic Samsung anyday too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] applezen:
This +1.

Not everyone likes vivid colored displays. And not everyone needs a Samsung phone.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Tiago A:
Try root uninstaller. Always worked with me.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dazed No More:
I've always used root uninstaller on all my devices until this one. It says something along the lines of "sorry, root privilege found but cannot mount system r/w :(" so it will only allow me to disable apps.

You can use Titanium Backup to do so, uninstall and reboot to confirm, Just make sure the app is not disabled before you uninstall it.
