[Magisk] HatMan22:
Personally I don't like people who praise themself and Androidacy does that. All the module developer do their hard job to make the modules but Androidacy makes it difficult to install the modules. Forces user to visit the webpage and prevent them from downloading before 9 seconds. There could be a better solution like in Magisk that gets all modules directly from Github. But they choose to monetize and we have to accept that.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Its my understanding after a public statement and checking in via TG PM that Fox has stepped back from development due to health concerns at least temporarily.

He is aware of concerns about Androidacy taking over

I am not making any further comment on the pros and cons of Androidacy (because i cop enough flak over the OP to this day), because its up to people to chose individually whether they want to use Fox MMM or not. My beef was mostly with the attitude taken at the time they scraped mine and others work, and were dismissive when asked to take the work down as they were monetizing it without consent (and seemed to think they didnt need any). That part has been addressed, though i understand theres still being ad insertions done, which was part b of my complaint. At least authors DO have the ability to request their modules be taken down...

Its a big step up from the earlier nonsense, and ive never publicly shared this, but a very senior member and developer revealed to me they were actually at one time tampering at file level with peoples modules...this predates my OP. As rules tend to discourage sharing of PM content, ill summarise it - the dev said that the previous update he had just done to his module was to counter them injecting code into the main module installer file (customize.sh), so he took steps to make the module fail to install if it was altered.

It is hard as there are several layers to the apparatus that ends with the GUI convenience of Fox MMM, one is the underlying alt magisk repo which is run by some nice folks, but they do have an agreement with Androidacy for them to be able to scrape it. Which is why my modules havent made a return to the alt magisk repo (which i get asked about all the time) since i first made the discovery in the OP and pulled them off there

Just because it may be helpful, and im up for a shameless plug, my modules are listed (and linked to their github repos) from this thread now:

[Magisk] androidacy:
We have long since removed the code that was "altering modules ' (the actual thing it was doing was adding an automatic update checker) after feedback from the community.

We're slowly working on an opt-in similar mechanism, to allow module authors to take advantage of the same APIs as our own modules do.

We also share the revenue earned from advertising with the authors that meet certain quality and downloads requirements, but the bulk of revenue goes to our rather hefty server costs.

We are working in private with invested parties on FoxMMM and are not planning on any changes that we feel, in discussion with other parties, would be contrary to the community and it's desires.

The download timer is more about preventing abuse of our services than anything else - it's much harder to bulk download or download it multiple times at once and waste our bandwidth if you have to wait and your bandwidth is throttled. Of course, premium does remove those restrictions.

We chose not to go with GitHub hosting from our own personal experiences with it - GitHub is not designed as a hosting platform and has a horrible experience for some users, and is completely inaccessible to others.

We have always and always will listen to and follow through with constructive user feedback, but unfortunately much of the feedback we receive is decidedly non constructive, outright abusive, or potentially law violating.

We thank you for your time and look forward to engaging with you and the community in the future.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Not sure why you chose to quote me, i was actually clearing the air on the previous comments, specifically placing them in the past, and i strongly object to my post (to the exclusion of all others) being quoted in the same sentence as the sentence: "but unfortunately much of the feedback we receive is decidedly non constructive, outright abusive, or potentially law violating."

Id ask you to politely either unquote my post, and leave your post as a general post or communication, or remove that sentence, thank you....your choice....ive never made any statement that wasnt based on fact at the time it was made. Id rather not have this devolve (again) thanks. Let me know if you choose not to adhere to either of these conditions and ill resolve it using other methods.

We can all be friends, but we all have to be reasonable, and reflect reality.
[Magisk] androidacy:
That particular sentence was not intended to be directed at you, but rather the death threats our website moderators had to see in their inboxes this morning :)
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Thanks for editing the previous post and not attributing the response to me personally.

And i do regret that youre getting that level of negative feedback, no one should be going to that level to voice an opinion.
[Magisk] fobtob387:
Sadly the majority of modules in FoxMMM come from this disgusting site and disabling it as a repo almost makes FoxMMM completely redundant and having it as the default repo in this otherwise amazing application makes it lose a bit of credibility as user @applyscience mentioned above.

They claim ads for server costs, but no one asked them to make a website in the first place. You can't just choose to do something that knowingly costs and then attempt to cover said costs via advertisements over other people's work. Whereas a GitHub repo is both free and offers the same abilities for hosing modules without any costs involved, I'm also fairly sure the website creation by GitHub called GitHub Pages offers a free website to each individual user anyways.

This need to go through their ad-filled website and wait for the countdown for each individual module is disgusting, especially with their unnecessary attempts to make Firefox users struggle even more with a constant popup that disallows you to do anything until you accept it even though it's complete nonsense.

Their entire site and attitude goes against the whole FOSS idea and morals most Magisk users and developers abide by. Androidacy is literally a parasite in the Android community attempting to profit off and modify other people's hard work. It's a surprise they haven't been banned from XDA as of yet.
[Magisk] cyanGalaxy:
I have similar thoughts about the poor experience and made a reply outlining the problems of that website, and why it's not a good solution.

But I deleted my message soon after, because I've read that one of Androidacy's team members attempted harm to themselves, from receiving threats.

Concrete and detailed criticism is useful feedback, but when a developer receives threats from users, it's where things have gone too far, and I did not want to fuel the negativity.

My message was meant in good faith, and as useful and detailed criticism, but it appears that some users have taken it a step too far.
[Magisk] Releece:
I am unable to even download any module through androidacy now... The countdown download button just displays "Please wait..." and stays that way. I've tried both in Firefox and in Chrome without extensions and the result is the same. Has the hosting been disabled and has this anything to do with the concerns raised in this thread?
[Magisk] cbomb1337:
Androidacy are scum buckets. Hoarding magisk modules behind ads and puzzles. Go screw ur selfs u dogs. We circumvent ur BS through telegram.
[Magisk] Releece:
@androidacy : Why not clear the air by showing receipts of your domain / hosting / server costs and of revenue coming from ads? Even if there is surplus, I think most people would have much more respect if you would lay all the cards on the table, be transparant and put and end to speculations.
[Magisk] androidacy:
We understand the importance of transparency and trust within our community, and we appreciate your recommendation.

However, we'd like to clarify that our financial and business documents are confidential, and we are not able to share them at this time. We have previously shared estimates to provide a general understanding of our costs and revenues. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of trust and professionalism in our operations and other work.

We would like to reassure you that the money Androidacy generates from advertising and subscriptions is primarily used to cover our costs, including domain, hosting, and server expenses. Any remaining funds are directed back to the community through our Modules Repository Revenue Sharing program and other community investments. This helps us ensure that we continue to foster growth, innovation, and support within the Androidacy community.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we work towards maintaining a healthy ecosystem that benefits all involved. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Fox's Module Manager has now become property of the disgusting Androidacy company.

ISSUES HAVE MIGRATED · Issue #325 · Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager

DO NOT OPEN ISSUES AGAINST THIS REPO. This app is now offically an Androidacy project, and may be found at Androidacy/MagiskModuleManager

github.com

Very disappointing, another blow for the FOSS Android community.

Edit: Amusing, already anti-consumer practices being added to the new builds: https://github.com/Androidacy/MagiskModuleManager/issues/10#issuecomment-1537254846
[Magisk] temporarium:
Yeah, it's to cover server costs no doubt...

I've switched to MRepo https://github.com/ya0211/MRepo
[Magisk] Im1Random:
What I absolutely hate about Androidacy is that they provide absolutely no link to the source where they got a module from, because of course then nobody would watch their crappy ads anymore and would directly download the modules from their original source... They even proxy the README and the download instead of linking to the authors page and make sure than there's not a single chance that the user could go to the real download. And of course they're just making money from the work of other people and annoy the crap out of their users...
[Magisk] Im1Random:
Uh nice, why didn't someone tell me that earlier :D I think this app should have much more users
[Magisk] Masamune3210:
Thank you, anything to get rid of any trace of their disgusting practices off of my phone. Nobody asked them to make a site, nobody wanted their monetization. If the module author wanted to monetize it, they probably would have done so themselves.
[Magisk] bookero:
i installed mrepo but it gave an error when i tried to add the link https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo or https://github.com/ya0211/magisk-modules-alt-repo

why isn't mrepo in fdroid?

for instant i have still magisk 22.1 installed (Op8pro + eos) where you can still install modules directly and amm with only the magisk alt repo enabled, the androidacy repo is a hassel

i don't get it, there's only a text file with the links needed
[Magisk] fobtob387:
Add this repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/
[Magisk] bookero:
cool
[Magisk] Stanwar:
Nice. Thanks for this. Androidacy added an anti adblocker to their website to prevent downloads if you have an adblocker (even a dns based adblocker). I'm not disabling my adblocker just to download 1 module. This is a pathetic practice tbh.
[Magisk] imperial_bloke:
Worst case is the modules are heavily modified (perhaps with nasty stuff) without the main dev's consent and guess who is the fall guy.
[Magisk] fobtob387:
Still not sure why they aren't banned from XDA at this point. So much for the FOSS Android community...
[Magisk] MarkLev:
Androidacy Magisk Manager [AMM] is absolute garbage. Slow and clunky, it takes like 30-60 seconds to load online modules every time I access the [online] tab.

MRepo is light speed faster.

And here on [AMM] after waiting 30-60 seconds for [online] tab to load + the intro page loaded + 1 min to really understand what going on in the page + 30 seconds doing CAPTCHA -> The disgusting message show up saying that "Ad blocker detected!!"

Yoooo, wt* is that!! What an absolute trash app!!

And thank temporarium for the MRepo recommendation

I've read that Casanova project has different thermals (Balanced, Performance) available to use with Magisk, which provide different thermald implementations. The one with performance sets the thermal throttle border higher - CPU (and GPU?) throttling will be done at higher temps than stock. I would like to try that out (even knowing that the device produces more heat then and eats more battery of course).

Now I don't have root, but TWRP. And I don't plan to root my device. Does anyone know if it's possible to create a TWRP flashable from the Magisk module? Or is there already something for TWRP?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but I don't have magisk and therefore no root ;) I thought it might be possible through TWRP flashable. It seems not :(

Hello friends, I have a problem with my camera. I have connected everything according to the instructions, but when I engage the reverse gear the screen changes to a black image with an exclamation mark and I do not see anything.

I searched the internet and I saw that cars with canbus have black image or interference problems, it can be fixed by placing a relay between the camera and the reversing light. I installed it but it still doesn't work and I don't know what to do. Buy another camera, check with another new rca video cable...

And finally I think that my radio may not be compatible with the camera I have.

When I bought it I didn't look closely and there are two versions, one is cvbs and the other is ahd. I bought cvbs and my radio is an essgoo zxdz _01. Will it be a compatibility problem?

I need your help please. Greetings and many thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] Bentacayse:
Edited:

Fixed, the problem was the rear connection to the radio. The cable that receives the image from the camera is attached to the WiFi and Bluetooth antenna. When I connected it I did it the other way around, the connections worked fine "that's why I didn't think it was a bad connection" but when I checked the connections again I realized that it was connected but on the contrary. WiFi and Bluetooth worked fine, wifi with less coverage but fine.

Just connect video jack, wifi, bluetooth well. And when you activate reverse, the camera is activated without problems. It's a bit long but I hope it can help. I am Spanish speaking and I have to translate everything with Google xD.

A hug for everyone!!!
[Android Head-Units] WRAPOZO:
Hey,

I am having the same exact issue. However the backup camera works for about 10 hours and then stops working again. The only way I've been able to get it to start is by reseting the unit to factory settings.

I saw a video on YouTube that there may be a compatibility issue and I have to change the camera settings but there is no option anywhere in the settings to access the backup camera. Have you been successful at locating the backup camera settings by chance?
[Android Head-Units] WRAPOZO:
Perfect, you speak Spanish! Can you explain to me how you fixed the problem? I left my problem below in English but I can translate it for you

Perfecto, hablas español! Me puedes explicar como arreglaste el problema? Te deje mi problema abajo en ingles pero te lo puedo traducir

Hello, I am facing the exact same problem. Only thing is that my camera and every other setting were working perfectly fine until I decided to fiddle something in the File Manager and may have deleted some files. After that, my reverse camera does not work and shows the same logo you had posted here.

Any ideas as I am 100% sure it is not a hardware issue but a software one.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] white09:
Ok, so I swapped a battery (old one was original, 3yo) and usb jack (charging was weird unless cable had correct angle, I could not connect to a pc via USB connecting to transfer file). I replace both parts, turn the phone on and it could not connect to mobile network. When I search for networks manually, it finds my networks, but it can register on it. I can't register on foreign (another country) network either. Wi-fi works as normal. Turning airplane mode on and off did nothing. Anybody? Thank. :)

Not as good as stock camera and no, only 2 are working. 8 to 12mp is the max youll get unless your on stock. This will not change unless samsung releases the software drivers which is very doubtful.
