Hi, All, Latest I want to modify other apps in unrooted device, so I wrote a tool to do this. I just called it Xpatch.

The basic principle of this tool is very simple. It just modify the target apk, inserting some codes in the Application. These codes's main purpose is loading the xposed modules. So any Xposed modules installed in the device can be loaded by the target app.

Note: It is very safe.

Github repository: Open Github and search Xpatch, or just search my name: WindySha. (Because I'm new here, I have no permission to add links in this thread)

The following is the detailed introduction：

What is Xpatch

Xpatch is a jar tool which is used to repackage the apk file. Then, the new apk can load any Xposed modules installed in the android system.

This is a way to use Xposed modules without root your device.

It is easy way to modify one app using xposed module. And any apps changed by Xpatch can load every modules downloaded in the Xposed Module Repository.

Benefits

1. Use xposed modules without your device;

2. Modify any apps without root your device.

How to use

1. Download the latest jar file from the my github release page.

2. Run this command in the Windows/Mac console:

$ java -jar ../../xpatch.jar ../../source.apk

Then, a new apk named `source-xposed-signed.apk` in the same folder as `source.apk`.

More commands

1. You can specify the output apk path by add `-o` parameter, eg:

$ java -jar ../../xpatch.jar ../../source.apk -o ../../dst.apk

2. Show all the building new apk logs, just add `-l`, eg:

$ java -jar ../../xpatch.jar ../../source.apk -l

3. After the version 1.2, craching app signature verifying is added, if you won't need the function, just add '-c', eg:

$ java -jar ../../xpatch.jar ../../source.apk -c

Todo list

1. Support packaging the xposed modules into the source apk;

2. Support loading so library in the xposed modules;

3. Crach apk protections.

Issues

1. If the apk dex files are protected, dex2jar can not effect on the dexs, then this tool will not work;

2. The hook framework is using whale, this framework is not very stable, some hooks may fail;

3. Do not support Davlik VM;

4. Do not support resource hook;

I didn't understand how to use it. Can you make a video?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Very interesting. So basically it takes an Xposed module, parses the hooks, and modifies the bytecode permanently? Pretty cool.

I am wondering how compatible it is though. It uses Dex2Jar and something called "whale"? Did you ever see DexPatcher? Maybe it would be a battery choice to use it instead.

Also, does it work for framework modification? Or any plans for it?

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Windy_007:
Thank you for your comment.

The main principle of xpatch is decompile the apk, and add a method in the application's entrance, xposed modules are loaded in this method.

Then repackaged the modified apk and sign it.

"whale" is used to hook java method under ART.

It is different from DexPatcher.

The difference is :

1. Apk modofied by xpatch can load any xposed modules, including many open source xposed modules in xposed reposotory website.

2. Apk modofied by xpatch do methods hooking at runtime. DexPatcher, on the other hand, modifies everything ahead of runtime and produces a standalone, modified APK.

3. DexPatcher requires repackage and resign apk many times if developers want to modify apk many times, but xpatch only repackage apk once.

4. Xpatch require Art method hook framework, DexPatchert doesn’t depend on any external framework.

But they also share some common feature：

1. Both of them do not need root device.

2. Both of them need repakage the apk and resign it.

Final, xpatch do not support framework modification. Bacause this modification need root device. xpatch is only for unroot device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Windy_007:
Download xpatch : https://github.com/WindySha/Xpatch

Download the jar.

Open your terminal, run this command:

$ java -jar ../../xpatch.jar ../../source.apk

Then a new apk is produced in the same folder as source apk.

This apk can load any xposed modules installed in the device.

Hope this can help you.

Hey man.

Seems interesting.

So how does the new apk work?

For eg: I have Instagram and I use Xinsta module to download from instagram.

Can both these apps work without xposed/edxposed/taichi?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kos25k:
Thanks for this,excellent idea!

One question:I notice edxposed slows down a bit my device.With your way,you think this issue will be eliminated?Also i would be very glad if you tell me how to install customiuizer with your way and somehow to write the installation steps with more easy way for all us!!thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] joebloggscity:
Please I need help if possible.

I've had my Samsung S10 for a month, and it's been great but i've a new problem and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening. See the picture below.

The notification bar keeps turning semi-transparent/blurred. Why is this happening, i've uninstalled up, it's the same on Nova Launcher & TouchWiz.

It's not clear why this is happening. I've reset wallpapers etc, but can't fix it.

When I reboot the phone it disappears, but either within a few mins or hours it reappears and seriously devalues the home screen.

Please help. How can i rectify this?

Any help is much appreciated.

have you tried to use the default theme?

do you use good lock, if so- what good lock apps do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] solodV8:
I made lock screen notification background 100% transparent, that helped.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] joebloggscity:
hi

thx to both you.

I've somehow fixed it and used partly your ideas.

I removed apps one by one and rebooted countless times, but no lucks.

Also then changed settins and rebooted many times.

I changed some notificaition settings too, and rebooted.

However, I've no idea what it is that helped to sort it out.

I know there are others with this problem, I think it is do with Good Lock and Edge Lighting+, i've not readded Good Lock.

Thx to all, if anyone else has this problem then post here and I'll try to help you.

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: Again thx to those who replied to my request above.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] joebloggscity:
Darn!

I think i spoke too soon! The problem reoccurred a day later

So having done also soft reboots, I don't believe it's the apps.

BUT what is the cause of that problem I can't fathom.

So sadly I have done a full factory reset! which is poor.

Hopefully that's the full end of it.

If anyone does figure out the reason for why this occurs, please post it here for all. thx
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] iggyp44:
Hey.

I might have found the solution for that, without restarting the phone.

Got the S10+ few weeks ago and had the same issue with the status/notification bar going semi-trans (blurry).

I have fingerprint and pattern set as unlock options. The status bar goes fully transparent again when unlocking the phone with the pattern.

Now, still not sure what's causing this 'issue' but at least the solution was found (and it's not to restart the phone).

Hope this is going to work for you as well.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Axys72:
Had the same issue, sent it to service so they could fix this...not sure if it's a phone problem or software, but I tried everything. Don't use Good Lock, nor any dubious third party apps. At one point, the screen started to flicker on lock screen, quite peculiar. But the blur effect really bugged me, sometimes it appeared in a couple of minutes, hours or even days, randomly. Is Samsung aware of this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] joebloggscity:
iggyp44 - Hi, thx for that, but I found the only solution was to do a hard reset, which I sadly did. Never reappeared since then.

Axys72 - I've sent a message on this to Samsung, that's all i know if they are aware or care.

Seems like a few of us have had this problem, so hopefully they will work on it to sort it out.

Only solution for me was a hard reset.

I've had the same issue... My suspection for what causing it: when I using galaxy buds and receive a massage via fb massenger... So far I noticed that twice, but I'm not sure if this really is the cause... Looking forward for solution, it's driving me somewhat crazy ?

I'm trying to edit/update my HOSTS file for ad blocking but I can't.

I use adaway and do not toggle the system less switch in magisk and things work fine. I thought the system less toggle were for the modules you could download not separate sops
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
I use Solid Explorer all the time to modify hosts file on all my devices, inlcuding my 6T. The editor built into Solid Explorer has issues with larger files, so many larger hosts files can't be copied / pasted / saved in the editor in my experience. You can however just copy / paste / replace the entire hosts file with another one though. Just make sure the hosts file has Linux line endings, so use a Linux PC or notepad++ in Windows and use the conversion to Unix line endings and save it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] brisseau:
I have that option already enabled. No luck.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] brisseau:
I've always copied and pasted with Solid Explorer and that's what I'm trying to do this time but haven't had any luck.

Any other suggestions?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] brisseau:
Personally I don't care for Adaway (no particular reason), I'm just quirky and prefer to use an edited HOSTS file.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
Have you gone in Magisk, and under SuperUser and made sure Solid Explorer is approved for Root use?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] brisseau:
Yep. See attached.

Note: I'm only using adfree until I can get the HOSTS file copied and pasted over
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] brisseau:
Don't know what changed but AFTER installing the adfree.apk and allowing that to update the HOSTS file, I was able to copy/paste my HOSTS file like normal.

Crisis solved.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Hello,

I had few questions before buying Galaxy S10+ :-

1> Does the S10+ have a polycarbonate body or metal body and glass at the back ? I have used an A7 and A50 and they both had polycarbonate frames + polycarbonate at the back which looked like glass but the body of such phones actually bent very easily and had gaps. So, I wanted to know the type of materials used in S10+'s body before purchasing it this week. My choice would be one of the colours from Prism category.

2> How does the Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor compete with a dedicated one ?

3> How does it compare with iPhone X ? I have two options in my mind.. the X and the 10+. For example.. how is the speaker loudness, camera, performance etc of S10+ compared to iPhone X ?

Regards,

Ankit S.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Zmantech:
The speaker on the s10+ is the best speaker ever. It is even better with Dolby atmos on. Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is amazing and quick (not fast i also have a whitestone dome glass screen protector on)

The frame is metal and Gorilla Glass 6.

The frame is metal.. alright.. but is the back panel is actually glass or just plastic or you meant gorilla glass 6 on both sides ?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Hey Everyone,

I purchased the 10 Plus 128 GB Prism Black yesterday. The device is excellent however I am not satisfied with their quality of packaging. When I peeled out the back plastic film I could find some very minor user level scratches which could be seen under bright light from a particular angle. On the front there were very tiny air bubbles under the screen protector which were visible under bright light only when screen is off. The free case which came out from box had minor scratches as well on the outer side.

The phone came out of the sealed box and the store from where I purchased it (Reliance Digital) is one of the best electronics store in my country which is the authorized reseller of Samsung, Apple, Redmi, LG, Htc and many more. I tried showing the scratches to the staff over there but they said they couldnt find any scratches and it might just be fingerprint smudge mark or dust. The same thing happened with me when my iPhone X Silver came out of the sealed box, from the same store. All other phones that I purchased from that store like s8, iphone 6, iphone 6s, honor view 20 came out exactly perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Also, I don't know why but I see one of the imei stickers missing from its place from the side of the box. One of my other Samsung phone's box had also that sticker missing (purchased from other store) whereas some other samsung phone that I purchased have that sticker. Do they peel out that sticker for some records or something like that ?

I contacted the Samsung Service Center to know about the date of first boot of my device and it was the same date when I purchased it.
