I am also experiencing the same issue. Pixel 3 XL, root via TWRP, reboot to system, launch Magisk Manager, click on repackage magisk, end up with two apps, one completely nonfunctional and the other working, but using the regular magisk package name.

Just wanted to provide a quick update, while googling for the issue I believe it may be related to this

Another quick update, I followed their steps, and it works to maintain root of the repackaged magisk; however, upon reboot root is lost as somehow another copy of magisk shows up installed (i presume from where i repackaged the first one). It seems at though magisk manager keeps overwriting the magisk.db with one that doesn't have the info of the new repackaged app.
[Magisk] xomikronx:
Does anyone know if this is fixed in 17.4? If so, we can use 17.4 until it's fixed in beta branch.

Thanks [MENTION=7041201]yourmghq[/MENTION] for finding the post and workaround. I'm trying it now.
[Magisk] yourmghq:
The canary build is working for me, however, someone noted that they were having problems. In either case the way I got it working with canary was updated to the custom url in magisk manager, installed the apk for the new magisk manager, downloaded the canary magisk zip, rebooted to recovery, reflashed magisk and I reflashed the kernel I am using just for thoroughness, and rebooted and it worked for me.
[Magisk] HamsterHam:
Did you get it to work? I am having the same issue here.
[Magisk] xomikronx:
there is currently a work around if you want to use it with 17.3. Follow this guide here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77340171&postcount=26376

Must better than using Canary.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
What on earth makes you feel that the linked, convoluted, workaround would be better than simply installing the, currently quite stable, Canary build?
[Magisk] xomikronx:
Because as stated by another user, the canary build has some issues/quirks at the moment. :)

Feel free to use whatever option works for you. The workaround is fine for me until 17.4 becomes beta.

Not a big fan of the themes that LG offers. I was using Substratum + Andromeda on my Galaxy S8 Active and loved it. I'm wondering if Substratum + Andromeda will work on the V40?
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RedZero144:
It works kind of. I use Swift dark and it themes all the Google apps but not any of LG's system apps. I haven't encountered any bugs or issues so far.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nyttliv7:
Is it the substratum app in play store or?

Yes Substratum and Andromeda are on Play Store. Andromeda is needed for Substratum to work on non root devices and is $1.99

I have an issue with the LG Icons.

I downloaded two Icon packs, changed them for a week, enjoyed it, but decided to change again.

Now regardless of any Icon pack choice, I only get half the Icons to change. Not even if I go back to stock version ... the half that don't convert back are now just an outline of the Icon and I can't find a way to convert them at all.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nyttliv7:
I experienced the same thing. Did a smart clean and restarted my phone. Worked!
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SaintlySins:
Thank you ... but sadly, it didn't work for me.

It seems as if I lost the stock Icons altogether. :confused:

If I don't figure it out soon, I may factory reset the phone while I'm still exploring it and tweaking it.
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nyttliv7:
That's "bull" :(

And on top of that, I can't purchase anything in Smartworld? It's not even available any more, the themes you pay for, I mean.

Have you checked so all permissions and "Modifie System" and "Install Unknown Apps" are granted?
[LG V40 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SaintlySins:
I really don't understand it either. I've done all the above, yet, you no avail.

I found a free Home Screen & Icon App I like. I'll stay with that for a while till I figure out how to get the Stock Icon back.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griphen116:
Hi friends, I've got a phone model for the cheapest I could possibly find that was New. Bought it on a whim for $30 on amazon (at the time) not giving too much thought to what value it had hardware-wise as I wasn't planning on using it as a daily driver, instead wanted to just see what the possibilities of it were as a little practice for android rooting and installing custom roms as I'm really not too experienced in the android field, but I wanted to learn.

Apparently I chose the wrong phone to learn on, since this thing has next to ZERO content on these forums or anywhere else on the internet in any capacity as far as reviews, custom development, forum threads, even customer questions.

The main drawback being that trying to look up anything for this phone will give you results for a different BLU model, the BLU Advance 4.0, since they have such similar names. Since I have this BLU Advance A4 here now, I have scoured the internet trying to find anything specifically for this model phone and found nothing, which is frankly surprising given that this was at one point the cheapest and still is one of the cheapest new android phones on amazon so you would think that people would use something like this to learn on without much care for bricking it.

So I'm here to make a thread for this model and for anybody else who has this model who is wondering the same as me. What, if anything, can I do with something like this? Why is there not more discussion about this model? I know there have to be enthusiasts trying to to a lot with little hardware, and a phone like this would be a prime example of a phone begging to have a lightweight rom thrown on it for learning and kicks. I will continue to try and do what I can with it while I wait for responses to this thread, please anybody who has any feedback besides "buy a different phone", give me something. I already to have a phone but I'd like to learn android hacking/customization on a different android phone before risking turning my main driver into a brick and I believe playing around with a cheap throwaway phone to see what it can do will be fun.

BLU Advance A4 (ADVA4)

Android 6.0

Chipset: Mediatek MT6570

CPU: Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7

GPU: Mali-400 MP1

RAM: 512MB

Storage: 8GB+64GB mSD

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracx:
Excellent plan! Luckily, I found your post before I bought 1 of these phones - so I thank you for this!

Worth noting, I came here hoping to buy this cheap phone as a dedicated music player (running, house audio driver, etc) but am also disappointed (but not really surprised) that there doesn't seem to be any prior effort at rooting or working on custom ROMs.

Edit: Have you tried this, or looking for google hits on hardreset.info, androidmtk.com, and cyanogenmod-roms.apk.cafe (I can't post directly links yet, sorry)? While not much, I did find a few other sites too listing firmware, if you already have the phone it's worth tinkering with it and see if you can get anyway. Good luck, and do report back if you do try!

[Android General] JVitor:
It's well known now that some brands of Chinese smartphones come pre-packed with system adwares, malawares, spywares, etc. I even think of possibly starting a new thread where we could start a ranking of the worst Chinese brands with infected systems. So far, I have a couple of bad experiences with budget smartphones such as Umi London, Nomu S20 (problems were corrected by the developer though) and Doogee (T5 Lite).

From all them Doogee has been a nerve wrecking experience:

1) Stock Firmware was never updated. It's the same old one, full of viruses, malaware and adware. I posted a request on their forum for which I wait a possible answer: https://community.doogee.cc/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4498

2) It comes prepacked with malaware such as adware and others which keep installing new ones and it's very annoying. I could not find any clean custom ROMs on this forum or at 4PDA. Other users report the same problems such as in this thread which I quote:

Or this at 4PDA:

3) OTA firmware update is fake (it will never happen).

So I start this thread so that you can also share your experiences and hopefully the developer will address and correct these problems. Who knows someone someone might even come up with a custom solution/ROM.

Also, please let me know what you think of this idea of starting some sort of public ranking of the worst (or best) Chinese smartphone brands with regard to firmware integrity/cleanness. Any ideas on how to implement it? Perhaps a public poll? Feel free to share your ideas or even take the initiative. I think this would be a good way to encourage accountability and good standards on the budget smartphones developers and industry with regard to firmware integrity and customer support.

hi guys i am having a problem right now. my first note 9 was a n9600 snapdragon hk variant it was replaced by the vendor due to factory defect and was replace by a n960n single sim 512gb special edition model. my question is, is it possible to flash this with other official firmware to remove bloatwares from KTc to let say other exynos model? thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
nope.( maybe with adb commands you can manualy disable/delete packages)https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access

if you root then you can do what ever but if not, then you are stuck. all 4 firmwares/carriers available for the n960n have bloat.And no you cant flash with odin an n960f stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n3o_3g:
thanks [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION]. sorry im kinda new in this things. another question. is it possible to change those language i see in samsung members and and other samsung apps? because right now all i see is korean language. is there anyway to change this to english/local language?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
that would again be because of the csc installed.( one of the big 4 korean carriers. again if rooted wouldint be an issue to switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n3o_3g:
thank you again [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION] for giving me a clear picture. another question. is it possible to flash other n960n official firmware? right now i have a korean version of it. is it possible to flash it with n960n english?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
well i am not sure if for example LG+ ( LUC ) would have more 'english' menus but you can try.... yeah LG has a carrier and they sell Samsung phones! my note 8 was a N950N LUC and on the box there was an LG+ logo !

past 2 phones have been Korean models that i specifically bought and have not had any issues or defects. I always root and it has been quite easy because it has the OEM unlock option right away, no need to wait 7 days.

also since i dont need knox or samsung pay, root is the way to go for me. so much fun i wouldint live without rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n3o_3g:
i guess root is the way. i dont need knox and samsung pay either because its not usable in our country and no merchant here supports it. thanks [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION]. and last can you put me in the direction of the guide to root my phone? again thank you so much.

hi again [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION]. i have read the link you gave me. now my question is if i install twrp then install magisk will i be able to install local firmwares like n960f? and will this still trip knox? even though its a official firmware? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
once twrp is installed all bets are off. knox will be tripped.

but this will allow you to install magisk disable or delete bloat.

if this is not enough then you will be able to download a new rom.

a rom is a custom firmware. so you could get a rom that has everything you are looking for. usualy all roms for exynos and for N960F/ds. they will also contain full english locale.

have a look in this thread and see which Rom suits you better:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n3o_3g:
if i install twrp is it possible to install one of the roms you posted without rooting? i believed some of them have root within the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
once twrp is installed, fone is considered as being modified. so might aswell take advantage of root.

And if i remember correctly to be able to boot into system, right now on the note 9 you need magisk to be flashed in twrp recovery.

so there issint really a way around it for now.( others can confirm or correct me on this).

alexander rom might be the exception though. read thread and post questions there if need be concerning a rootless install.

but magisk su has an 'su hide' feature where it will hide the system modification and root status from certain apps. you can even hide magisk from specific apps too. so if you need to install specific software that only runs in stock unmodified systems, it may very well work if these features are enabled correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] n3o_3g:
thank you ver much [MENTION=8132601]bober10113[/MENTION]. will check those threads. and go on with twrp magisk custom rom combo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hossam M:
my phone is note3 N9002, updated to lollipop and activation locked...

after facebook messenger's update my phone got so hot and restarted,,

now whenever i boot i see "android is upgrading.. optimizing 1 app of 1..

sometime it reboots at samsung's logo and rarely it goes to android for 10 seconds or so then i see android acore error and reboots to the loop again!

i noticed that the clock froze and whatever setting i change undo itself when it reboots "if i set wifi on" when it reboots it goes back off as it was

i managed to uninstall messenger quickly but when it reboots its the very same "android is upgrading" and play store notifies me of 1 app updated successfully "messenger"

- i can go to download mode but cant install any rom/bootloader because of "emc_write_fail" because of activation lock?

- recovery mode says "custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock"

Secure fail: recovery..

-i tried the simcard i've previously locked the reactivation lock but that didnt help..

- i tried to erase /wipe the phone from Samsung's online service but it says not connected "last seen date is when it died"

any ideas? i am ok with wiping all data in phone to get it back..

i tries different roms kitkat and every official rom for it or n9005 "same processor" and failed!

any ideas? does unbrick.img fix this? i mean bypass activation lock to install rom?

if so do i need anything special other than the image and unpack it to sdcard?
