tried to reset my PC and I tried to reinstall WSA and managed to install Magisk and the Play Store successfully appeared and could be opened but only for a few moments and after that the two applications couldn't be opened again. and I checked in the WSA settings apps, none of the applications were installed, even though there were previously. I thought it was an antivirus or security network. and I try to turn it off. but the problem still occurs.

@rainman74 Please reinstall WSA again. I have tested this build and it is working for me.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] rainman74:
complety reinstalled WSA (with Magisk Delta) and same problem! :-(

Update: This package with original Magisk is working!

Update II: complete uninstall of WSA and now Magisk Delta package works, too. But no modules (tested MagiskHidePropsConf-v6.1.2.zip & LSPosed-v1.8.6-6712-zygisk-release.zip) could not be installed. This was still working in WSA_2306.40000.2.0_x64_Release-Nightly-with-magisk-fdac22ba-delta.25210.-canary-MindTheGapps-13.0-RemovedAmazon.zip

Installation seams to be fine, but then no module loaded.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MustardChef:
Known issue on v2307.

Seem like an issue with Magisk itself or the way Magisk has been implemented in WSA or something else entirely.

Refer to this for a workaround.

Currently there is not a fix for this issue, unfortunately.

From what I have seen, this issue is persistent with WSA Magisk Builds from other sources/ repos.

On some PCs, Magisk Modules are working very well for WSA v2307 and for some, they disappear after installing and rebooting

But I have a question, how do I do this if I have 2 accounts on my computer and I want to deploy it to both accounts?

And wouldn't it make sense to write an uninstall script for the package, it would be very helpful for some users

[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
@MCDeltaT Thanks very much for making this WSABuilds! It has significantly made my Surface Pro 7+ more useful and enjoyable with easy access to millions of apps on the Play Store. Thanks very much! Currently have 34 apps and counting installed on my Surface Pro 7+, along with the Play Store:

I've long been able to run my bank apps on WSA since I installed it with the Play Store via MustardChef's WSABuild on my Surface Pro 7+. Currently using WSA v2308.40000.3.0, and all my 3 banking apps still work as they should.

I did have one banking app that couldn't initially launch, but I figured that's 'cause it's detecting the Magisk app on my device, just like it was doing on my rooted Note 8 and now Note 9. The fix for it in those cases and on my Surface Pro 7+ as well was to:

Go into Magisk settings and hide the Magisk app with custom launcher name.

Enable "Zygisk" and "Enforce DenyList" in Magisk settings.

Add banking app to Magisk Configure DenyList.

Vuala, banking app launches and is fully useable on my rooted phone and Surface Pro 7+.

Hope that helps 🙂

hi

im getting an error when extracting it says for about 4 files

unsupported compression method

then when i try to install it says some files are missing...

anyone knows the problem?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] vonDubenshire:
I know this is the most minor of minor requests, but I am downloading for the first time and I noticed on your GitHub page, the "Download Variant" table has a header image that is clickable -- but it just opens up the image itself rather than linking to the respective variant download. Or, should be non-clickable LOL.

Anyway, downloading this for the first time as I just uninstalled my previous WSA build b\c it caused an interesting issue I couldn't resolve....all apps were trying to open in a "fullscreen" way that resulted in my second display opening up a gigantic gray screen with a moving padlock on it. Took me a few days of messing around to realize it was WSA itself causing the issue since I had eliminated every other possibility .

Anyway, using your method and thought your addition of the Amazon store was interesting, as I've never cared to mess with it much as I'd rather have my Google \ Android stuff on my PC, but now I can try it out a little for fun.

going insider build!
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] vonDubenshire:
I got a "Critical error" when using Windows native Extract All. I think it must be a bug with the 7z support that is built into Windows 11 now? I am unsure. I just installed 7z and it extracted with no issues at all.

7z download: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

EDIT: I just noticed on the Installation Instructions it is recommended to use 7z itself, so I guess there is a chance of any other app\OS with 7z support not working.

Follow these steps to install on Windows 11.​

Extract the .7z archive

using 7-zip (recommended)

and rename the extracted folder to WSA

Delete the .7z archive (It is recommended to keep the .7z archive until WSA has been installed and is working properly)

Move the newly extracted folder to a suitable location (Documents folder is a good choice), as you will need to keep the folder on your PC to use MagiskOnWSA

Open the WSA folder and double-click on Run.bat
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] vonDubenshire:
Can anyone tell me what happens when I do the following:

1. Right-click on Run.bat and "run as administrator" makes the install.ps1 unfindable.

2. If I just double-click to run normally, it will find it.

What happens with the way the Run.bat is written and the "run as administrator" command to make that happen?

I am curious for learning reasons

Hi All,

Happy new year! Noticed upon installation of WSABuilds, pretty much all permissions of google's apps (Play Services, Play Store, etc.) can not be disabled...possibly due to a Google Pixel device being mimicked:

Is there some Magisk module I can use to disable these excessive privacy-violating app permissions?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MustardChef:
@MrElectrifyer As long as you don't give WSA:

- Microphone

- Location

- Camera

- Sensor

permissions from Windows itself via the "Privacy & Security" Settings, this should reduce some concerns.

You could additionally try changing the permissions from the Android subsystem itself, by using [App Manager] from F-Droid.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
@MustardChef Thanks for the fast response. The problem is, I actually want to use some Android apps with location, including apps like GasBuddy. The other ones, for now I don't need in particular, but I can imagine some Android apps offering legit uses of them later down the line.

No way to disable the specific Google app permissions, like I do on my Note 9?

Also, for a few weeks now (with WSA Builds v2308.40000.3.0 and clean installation of WSA Builds v2310.40000.2.0), haven't been able to install nor update Android apps via the Play Store (v30.4.17-21[O][PR] 445549118) on my Surface Pro 7+. I keep getting errors like the following:

Clicking the notification displays the corresponding app page with the following error and a link to this google page:

I've tried disabling my Windows Firewall, but that made no difference. Any idea what's going on? This is occurring on Windows 11 Pro v22H2 (OS Build 22621.1413). Thanks in advance.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MustardChef:
@MrElectrifyer Try clearing the Cache and Data of Google Play Services and Google Play Store and then restart WSA. This should fix the issue. Please let me know if it works, so that we can keep our documentation up to date with fixes.

Also, have you tried using the "App Manager" app from F Droid to change the permission given to Google Play?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
I actually just tried that before I saw your reply. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference. I'm still getting the above error messages.

Will check that out and post feedback, thanks.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MustardChef:
I will investigate the issue, thank you.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
Thanks very much @MustardChef!

I just tried out the App Manager v3.1.4 app, and first off, it's looking like a super all-in-one tool that could definitely replace multiple utility apps I have on my Note 9, thanks for mentioning it. However, upon attempting to use it to disable the Google Play Services permissions, I'm getting the following notification:

This is happening even with the app granted Root permissions via Magisk. Any other suggestions for getting those permissions under control?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
Ok, this is very interesting. Despite App Manager showing the above error message when I attempt to individually turn off the privacy-violating permissions of Scroogle Play Services, upon selecting its Overflow menu > Deny dangerous permissions option, it appears to have used some brute-force methodology to disable pretty much ALL of the privacy-violating permissions of Scroogle Play Services:

Thank you so much for mentioning this App Manager @MustardChef! Definitely a major privacy control and backup tool I'll be utilzing for the foreseeable future.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
Ok, it appears I spoke too soon. Out of curiousity, I just checked the Scroogle Play Services permissions again, and behold, they've all been reset back to what they originally were.

Any other suggestions on how to disable the permissions of play services?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
@MustardChef It appears the above issue was due to the Play Store version (v30.4.17-21[O][PR] 445549118) which came with the fresh build. I went into the Play Store settings > About screen, and tapped the "Update Play Store" link. It mentioned that a new version of the Play Store will be installed, but there wasn't any progress indicator shown, so, I thought nothing was happening. Today, upon opening and checking again, it appears the Play Store did get updated to v38.8.28-29 [O] [PR] 592366865 and now everything is downloading/installing as it should.

Oddly though, I had Play Store v37.5.xxx installed before, and the same errors were coming up...alas, all is downloading/installing as it should, just the permissions that randomly keep reverting to their defaults at the moment.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] supermansaga:
Latest play store is now 39.1.26-29
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MrElectrifyer:
Latest Play Store is now v39.2.37-29 [O] [PR] 597374538.

I was again experiencing the app update issue earlier mentioned above, but then I updated the Play Store and it resumed working as it should. So, in conclusion, it appears scroogle now requires you to always have the very latest version of the Play Store to make any downloads from it.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] supermansaga:
I updated to 39.2 as well. Supposedly 39.3 is out there per https://support.google.com/product-documentation/answer/14343500?sjid=3809479261707723798-NC

Microsoft is killing Android apps support on Windows 11

In a somewhat surprising move, Microsoft announced the end of Windows Subsystem for Android that allows running Android programs on Windows 11. The plug will be pulled in March 2025.

www.neowin.net

@MustardChef Is there a way to add features to the WSA system now that Microsoft is killing it off? Like upgrading it to Android 14, integration with Windows Hello for Biometric authentication, integration of android app actions with the Windows Share Panel, etc. Would be great if XDA devs could treat WSA as an entire separate device to build custom ROMs for.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] MustardChef:
Nope, it would be very very difficult to upgrade it to Android 14 or add new features, without the source code.

The phone that I am trying to install the apk on is a nexus 5 with a custom rom.

Any help would be appreciated.

If your getting a error about it not being signed, you need to find a signed installation. You cant sign it yourself.

Thanks for the response.

So if I wanted to add a system app into a Rom before I flash the phone can that be done and how would I do it?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
All the system apps have to have a signing that matches that of /system/framework/framework-res.apk

The most radical solution is for you to resign everything with your own keys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
In the old days when you could make /system R/W easily re-signing everything wasn't that horrible.

If you were to do this with Magisk you'd end up duplicating large chunks of /system

That seems like a lot to do just to change an icon.

You could modify the launcher to special case the icon.

I think that there actually is already some icon override on some launchers???
