Please be aware that SafetyNet has been replaced by Play Integrity. Please see this post

This usually happens because you have two instances of Magisk installed - one hidden, one not. Remove Magisk, then go to Settings > Apps and make sure you don't have a hidden Magisk stub. Magisk uses signature verification so that only one manager may access root at a time.

You might not need to hide Magisk from those apps, but I don't have any experience with those apps so YMMV.

If those apps specifically depend on SafetyNet and were never migrated to Play Integrity, that would be a problem:

View attachment 6082360

So, first things first, you obviously need to get the root issue sorted. See what I said above about having a Magisk stub with the app hidden. You may have inadvertantly installed Magisk twice; when you hdie the Magisk app, it changes the package name, so if you attempt to install again, Android doesn't see com.topjohnwu.magisk installed.

Once you have that sorted, try installing this module:

Make sure you check your Play Integrity verdicts. If you're passing BASIC and DEVICE, see if your games work.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] SlegiarDryke:
I'm pretty sure i only have the v23 of the manager currently installed, and magisk itself isn't installed/functional at all right now. Normally i would use titanium backup to check if there was any indication of a lingering app running, but i can't because root is not currently available. Attached is a screenshot of my current magisk manager for proof.

As for the games, i will admit i don't know if they've been updated in that manner or not. I haven't been able to play them since last december, hence my focus on safetynet.

I just checked all 3 games, 2 of them seem to be working now, so maybe they were updated, however, the other attached image is of a common error for super mario run on rooted and non-hidden phones. I would still like to get magisk working for root functionality aside from the games issue, but you letting me know about play integrity has seemingly fixed at least half the issue by prompting me to try updating, so thank you for that! ^_^ i was holding off from updating in the event an update after getting safetynet working again, might have maybe fixed my issues...but that seems to have been a misguided thought process XP
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
You don't need a third party app to see if root is available. Magisk shows that in app. The "Magisk" section at the top is for Magisk core, referring to whether or not the boot image has been patched by Magisk. If this says N/A even though you have a patched boot image installed, you probably have two installations of Magisk - one hidden and one not.

I recommend using the latest version of Magisk.

If anything I would suggest adding the app in question to DenyList in Magisk, but this will only work if you have root. So, as I stated before, the first thing you need to do is ensure you actually have root.

You may have noticed I have a guide here for the 3aXL. Check it over and see if there's any point where you might be doing something wrong.

If this isn't your daily driver it may be worthwhile to wipe data and try again with a clean start, as this will remove all installed apps including any hidden Magisk stub. Don't hide Magisk unless you absolutely have to, and if you do, try to remember the package name because it's easy to lose track of it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] SlegiarDryke:
Apologies, i might have been a little unclear with my response. The desired use of titanium backup was not in relation to finding out if i had root or not, but rather making sure that i didn't have a lingering second magisk install. The only version of the manager installed is the one screenshotted, and attached is how its settings menu looks right now. I suppose i can install the latest version of the manager and see if that shows me anything, but i won't hold my hopes up ^^;;;

The process of how things went was that i updated magisk to v26 or 27 around early december 2023 (might have been 26, but anyway). That caused the initial break of hide and the apps not working anymore. I then installed magisk alpha, as it had a hide function that reportedly still worked, and followed a guide to transfer to alpha while uninstalling the original setup and manager.

alpha didn't work for me though. The magisk and root capable functions of it did, but the hide toggle caused bootlooping until i managed to get safe mode to kick that function off. I then completely removed and uninstalled magisk, and the alpha manager, installed the v23 of the manager as was shown, and haven't been able to get actual magisk working again since.

if i have two versions of magisk installed, i'm not entirely certain how, cause i followed the instructions for removing magisk short of relocking the bootloader....again i'd rather not do anything to refresh the install so i don't lose data, this is indeed my daily driver and currently only available device......i've been trying to decide on a new phone or tablet for a while, but that sadly currently isn't relevant to the topic

I'll give your guide another read through, it looks like one of the ones i skimmed through while i was trying to get magisk working again before i initially posted this thread, but i'll be slightly limited for a few hours due to being at work TvvvvT;;;; soo i'll do what i can for now.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
It sounds like what happened is that you had hidden Magisk (which reinstalls it under a different package name), then when you updated, it installed Magisk again - since your existing Magisk installation was under a different package name, Android didn't know Magisk was already installed.

You need to take a VERY close look through your installed apps. The hidden Magisk app is probalby retitled "Settings" by default.

As an example, my Pixel 5 is rooted with Magisk 27.0. I didn't have the Magisk app hidden. I just hid it (Magisk settings, "Hide Magisk app" under App), and it is now installed as "Settings", package name "qpcw.kvflnotu". It appears in my app drawer and installed apps as "Settings", and since the UI doesn't let me see the package name, the only thing that sets it apart from the system settings app is the fact that I can uninstall it. I can't see it in Swift Backup, oddly enough, but Titanium Backup shows it as "Settings 1.0".

If I were to update Magisk, the downloaded package would be installed as com.topjohnwu.magisk, so I'd then have 2 instances of Magisk - one hidden (with root) and the other not hidden, with no root. The proper way to update Magisk if the app is hidden is to first restore the Magisk app in Magisk settings, THEN update.

If you're unable to find the hidden app, the only thing you can really do is wipe your user data as that will remove all installed apps.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] SlegiarDryke:
Well, at the least i can confirm that there isn't a hidden version of the app still installed, as i just went through and opened literally every app in my app drawer, and the only duplicates i had were legitimate different versions of calculators and different file explorer apps that i use. No extra settings apps, nothing that didn't open to something different then the icon claimed.

I'd still rather not refresh the phone, so for now, my option is going to be waiting until i get home and triple checking that guide, then attempting an update of the magisk app to the latest 27, and seeing if an attempt to install through the updated app performs differently/better/successfully over the v23.

I still hold some concern of the potential of changes between the older versions and the newer ones, due to what i understand to be a potential conflict of interest from topjohn joining google as a programmer, but for now i don't have any other choice given Alpha literally caused a bootloop on my phone, and i can't deal with anything of that severity right now because i won't be home for another few hours.

So........i will try all the other stuff mentioned when i get home, and then update here as to if anything worked....orrr....if anything went hopelessly wrong.....hopefully nothing will though ^_^ but yeah....will update later this evening (EST time zone)
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
There's no conflict of interest, and Magisk is maintained by more than just John Wu. Yes, he does work for Google as part of the Android Platform Security team, but he's made clear that he won't be using his knowledge of Android internals to benefit Magisk or vice versa.

Please describe how you rooted your phone.

I would recommend using Pixel Flasher, as it interfaces with Magisk on your device to patch a boot image, and will flash it appropriately.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] SlegiarDryke:
fair enough, i'll fully concede to not being entirely up to date on everything, and the best i could find when i was initially searching for information back in december was posts about people being angry that he did that. which i took with a pinch of salt, but still kept in the back of my mind.....anyway..regardless, seems irrelevant so moving on..

errrr....honestly it's been a while, i've had this phone a while, so i can't remember the exact process. i'm going to just guess though that i followed the standard route for unlocking the bootloader on the phone, using developer mode and googles systems and stuff. i can't find records of exactly when i got the phone, but it was after the rollout date for android 10, so I'm guessing from my previous actions, i initially had wanted to use TWRP and rooting that way, but was informed by a relatively knowledgeable friend that twrp didn't work for 10 at the time (dunno if that's changed, doesn't matter), and asked if i knew about magisk. i didn't, he showed me, i tried it, it worked, been using it like that ever since. would have likely been around 2020. and i basically haven't really done much since. i'm still on 10 like i said at the start, and i've only updated magisk a few times, but it finally broke on me late november early december. anyway, i'm gonna go through your guide and double check things, and try updating the manager version and see what options it gives me, and go from there.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Since your bootloader is already unlocked, the only thing you should have to do is patch and flash the boot image. In my guide follow the "Initial Root" section...Or, download the factory image for your build, and use Pixel Flasher to patch and flash the boot image.

Make sure you're using the latest ADB Platform Tools. Do not use Minimal ADB or anything like that as they're usually out of date.

TWRP isn't of much use on Pixels outside of flashing custom ROMs; a custom recovery can't be installed because the recovery kernel is compressed into the boot image.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] SlegiarDryke:
okay, so, it's been a while. i had a couple weeks where i literally didn't have the time to try the pixel flasher.....work got very busy X_X;;; anyway!....

so, I tried the flasher, tried it with an OTA patch of the same package, just to not risk changing things too much. and it seemed to work fine, right up until the end when it seemingly encountered some errors while finishing? it seemed to have actually "Finished" though as the phone wasn't doing anything and had the menu available for whether to reboot or other stuff...sooo i went ahead and rebooted....and it booted fine....except for the fact that the Magisk patching again didn't work.

i've got a support package if needed for the logs, but i'm at something of an impasse now. i've got more free time, so i can experiment a few times as needed. seems my options are try a higher version of OTA, try a dirty flash with a factory image to preserve data, or figure out a way to save relevant data and redo things completely...which would mean at this point either getting a tablet to back my data up to, or a new phone....annnd that's a whole other mess of an issue so i'm not even going to consider that right now X_X;;

sooo......attempt OTA patching of a higher version, or a factory image patching...or......heck, i dunno, i'm getting confused with all this X_X;;; it's 5:30 in the morning, i shouldn't even be working on this so late, but whatever....just annoyed with things still XP

Nice! After having several "merde" with multiple concurrent installs, I think to go this way as well.

Having an easy slot for 2.5" in my rig I will just shuffle my disks. Grub is obviously not up for the task (well, it is but comes with way too many caveats), using VM also needs more time and love - always feels like moving entire cities on a tightrope.

I've been checking back every few months to see if anyone has managed to get the Google Pixel 8 Pro camera features on the base Pixel 8. I haven't seen anything so far. Reddit discusses using GCam, but I have nothing but issues every time I try.

I'm rooted and the ideal solution is just overwriting the system installed Google Camera app with the Pixel 8 one. I know it's not that simple, but I'd like my main phone camera to think it was a Pixel 8 Pro.

Any ideas?

Hey guys, new here and desperate to figure out this problem!

I recently purchased a BMW E46 330ci Clubsport with the following Android head unit: A-MEDIA AUTO MTC ANDROID 5.1.1 Kernel 3.0.101.

The system was slow and wouldn't allow me to login to my google account to download updates etc. So I found a thread in here which had a download for software update. I installed it and now I'm unable to use the steering wheel functions to use the system and also the buttons on the unit itself will not work correctly i.e. turn up/down, launch NAV etc etc etc.

My question is - does anybody run this system? Does anybody have a link to download software update to run on the system so I can use it properly as intended? Does anybody know how I can get the functions working again as I have tried through the factory settings etc. to no avail?!

Hi,

Today morning I have fully ported blackstone official shipped ROM to my HTC Wizard. Wonderfull is that, its working great and its much faster then 20931:D.

One thing is that I cannot find out, is this a problem or not: Multi select ( I mean drag to select ) which is not at all working in file explorer, messaging, contacts or etc.

I faced same problem with many ported sys. Like 20757, 20764, 20954. In 20931 ( which I am presently using), multi select works prefect.

Plz anyone help

Thanks in advance......

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hellToncek:
Hello,

I have my Tab S9 Ultra with an original keyboard case with a touchpad. It's awesome, but every 10 - 15 of inactivity it turns itself into some kind of sleepmode, and it turns off its backlit. I mean the keyboard turns itself into sleepmode, tablet's screen is still running. I haven't found any settings to turn this off.

The worst part of it is that when I pause my writing for those cca 10 seconds, it turns itself off, and when I want to write again, I have to simply press on any key, but it takes about 500 - 1500 ms to wake up, and it's not registering my typing while turning on.

This very "useful" feature to save battery drives me crazy. I don't have problems with battery, I want my keyboard always on.

I'd like to know if you've ever seen this issue, and if you have any solution.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] blackhawk:
Go to Device Care>battery>Adaptive Power Management, something like that and turn that junk off*.

Go that app's settings and verify that background battery and data usage are on.

*Google global power management, to see it developer option>standby apps.

After Android 12 the following types of apps are exempt from entering the restricted bucket and bypass the inactivity trigger, even on Android 12 and higher:

Companion device apps.

Apps running on a device in Demo Mode.

Device owner apps.

Profile owner apps.

Persistent apps.

VPN apps.

Apps that have the ROLE_DIALER role.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hellToncek:
I turned Adaptive Battery off, and it didn't help. FYI, I've already uninstalled Samsung Keyboard because I was thinking that setting GBoard on would solve this problem but it didn't. At least, I deleted the bug where Samsung Keyboard always popped up when I clicked on some textfield while the physical keyboard was sleeping.

I was thinking if this couldn't be a hardware error or something. GBoard has unrestricted access to battery (according to settings), and it still goes into sleepmode every 10 secs of inactivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache from the recovery menu.

Double check all settings including the keyboard menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hellToncek:
It didn't work. Still sleeps. I wiped the cache data from the recovery menu, and trust me... I went through the keyboard settings many times. There's not such a thing like keyboard timeout or something. It seems to be hopeless...

I went through many forums, guides, net sites, and I have not found anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] blackhawk:
Did it ever not behave like that?

Could it have to do with the display time out setting?

Make sure power mode is set to optimized.

Try clearing that app's data and a hard reboot.

Android and Samsung are notorious for buried, misplaced settings.

Package Manager shows all attributes and flags of each app. They might explain the behavior and possible remedies. I really like Package Manager as it's a powerful diagnostic and monitoring tool for stock Samsungs (at least for Android 10).

If you're near a Best Buys with a Samsung Experience center they can do advanced diagnostics.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hellToncek:
Well, yes, it behaved like that, but they (Samsung Support) say that the countdown shouldn't be so short. Although, they didn't give me any advice how to solve it. It happens in every app, even on the desktop. That's the reason I'm trying to find some solution, and I'm helpless, so I came here.

It has nothing to do with a screen timeout. I tried. And I installed your app, but I can't run it for some reason. I am using Android 14, and it always crashes.

As you can see on the video, the keyboard just turns itself off for some battery saving reasons (I guess), and that's the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] blackhawk:
Try the Samsung Experience center if you can.

See if a newer version of Package Manager is on Playstore. Enable all its needed permissions. After Android 9 Google Android really started to suck, especially so after 10.

A adb or ladb edit may be possible to alter the timeout. You'll need to locate that setting though.

Make sure everything is up to date*. If you can still return it, that's a viable solution at this point! Samsung's can be a handful until you get up to speed. Once optimized they can run very well, but the learning curve to effectively do that is steep. I don't update or upgrade the firmware because that changes the playing field and invariably causes more lost time and the need for new work arounds, if they exist.

* Samsung is likely still patching their betaware... if you find a solution and get it running well I would block OTA updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] blackhawk:
This XDA forum may be able to help and guide you if you go the ADB edit route. I'm currently using Package Disabler but its gotten to be a pain. I will likely soon migrate to this adb editing app instead. Care must be exercised when using it or you could end up bootlooped doing a factory reset. Always redundantly backup critical regardless of what you do, or eventually you will lose it! Write down your Google account password to avoid a potential lockout too.

If you do choose to use adb edits be selective of what you disable. I block about 65 apps. Avoid disabling the most many small Samsung system apps as most use no resources unless active and provide UI functionality and appearance.

Target useless bloatware/trashware like Device Wellbeing, fb and apps that are power/internet data hogs that aren't needed and can't be properly toned down in settings.

Some apps like Google play Services, Framework, Playstore and Quickserch are best disabled in settings so you can easily toggle them on as needed. These apps use a fair amount of power and resources. Be aware they have or are dependencies. Features like Google backup, Gmail will be inaccessible.

Optimize by your requirements (learning curve) not by what other's are doing. Blindly disabling apps can cause lose of functionality, usability and become a real headache. Done correctly you'll get a better running device with greater privacy that's more stable, that does what you want and is fun to use. All Samsung's should be optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hellToncek:
Well, I successfully tried to install ADB AppControl, but I haven't found any way to disable that time out/sleep mode. Never mind. I will consider coming to some tech shop, and trying my keyboard with their Tab S9 Ultra or their keyboard with my Tab S9 Ultra. Unfortunately, we don't have any official Samsung store in my country.

The only thing I was able to do is uninstalling Samsung Keyboard, so I can use gboard in DeX, and thanks to that I got rid of random and buggy sometimes appearance of on-screen keyboard even with these settings turned to off.

That's probably using usb protocols; try changing settings for default usb configuration in developer options.
