Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat....help please

So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2

Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254

Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.

Why does Snapchat do this? Does anyone have any idea why?

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..

Snapchat

Hey guys,
My snapchat application stopped working a couple days ago. When I attempt to login it gives me the error, temporary login failed. I have read that this is an issue with other devices that are rooted. Anyone have any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Rooted devices have a little bit to do with the Snapchat Login Failure. Check to see if Xposed Framework is installed, and if it is uninstall it, login to snapchat (which then it'll let you login and see stories from others), and reinstall Xposed Framework if you need/want it on your device.

Thanks for the response. I'm on a custom rom, sick as hell v6. Will that cause issues if I uninstall it? When I go into xposed, the uninstall option is faded out and cannot be selected. How should I go about uninstalling xposed?

As long as you don't have any apps/modules that use xposed framework, then it should be fine. Uninstalling it requires you to download the xposed framework uninstaller (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960) and if you want to, also download the installer and apk. For the S6 and S6 Edge, download the versions with "arm64" marked on the download.
Then copy the files to your phone and simply enter recovery mode and flash the uninstaller. After that, reboot and login to snapchat (also, uninstall the xposed framework app if it still won't login).
If you want to reinstall the xposed framework, then simply install the apk first, then boot into the recovery and flash the xposed installer.
Hope this helped you out
EDIT: Also, Snapchat won't log you out unless you log out or uninstall the app.

No go :/
I flashed the arm64 uninstaller and bootlooped

Maybe it's the xposed framework that's outdated as it was updated ~2 days ago. Try installing the new one and uninstall right after and see if that helps.

The xposed module is hard baked into the Sick as Hell rom. You won't be able to get by that. I know snapchat has been messing around with creating a lock out for rooted phones to prevent apps bypassing their screenshot policy. There are a few articles that describe that. If you're part of their beta program, unsubscribe from their beta group on Google+, uninstall snapchat, download and try again. If that doesnt work, you could try the app Casper temporarily to use Snapchat, but I wouldn't recommend using it all the time as SnapChat will catch on. Hope all this helps.

If you backup Snapchat with Titanium Backup before you install a custom rom with xposed you can restore the backup and have no issues.

Why is snapchat constantly crashing on OxygenOS 3.5.5?

Sometimes snapchat just crashes a couple of seconds after opening it or sometimes it doesn't but when I try to open someones story it just crashes.
I can provide logs if someone can explain how to do it

To add to this, I've tried it on 1.9 and it doesn't work. This problem is all of the sudden and it used to work. I've tried uninstalling root and xposed and factory resetting none of which work. It works fine on CM13 and 14.1 but suddenly it stops working here.

Id also like to add that on freedom OS snapchat wont work since snapchat can sense if you are rooted. I think there is a way around like that root cloak app but havent tried it out yet. Anyone find a way around ?

You can login to snapchat if you aren't rooted. If you are rooted and need to login just uninstall it through the supersu app.

This again. You won't be able to log in ONLY if you have xposed framework installed. It's not "sensing" root.
It's crashing because you probably are using a custom kernel with cb. Snapchat works fine with stock kernel.

I'm using stock everything, have never went custom on my OP3 and it crashes every time when I open it.

SuperSu>Settings>Scroll down and look for full unroot
Do not attempt to restore stock boot.img. It will prompt you to, but click no and restart

Various app crashes

Bought my 5T last week (used) and immediately I installed magisk to root and xposed. Since then though I'm facing bizarre issues that come and go.
I was unable to add a Gmail account from settings as Google play services would crash
The Facebook messenger app would crash as soon as I open it, I downloaded the lite app and its OK.
The most common issue im seeing is Instagram crashing when I try to swap accounts. I can try to swap account, the app will hang and eventually crash. I try again and it will crash. But like an hour later it will be fine...
Also clearing dalvick and cache from TWRP seems to get it to work immediately.
I've had other things crash to which is strange as on my OP2 I had no such behaviour. The phone is lightning fast but these crashes are super annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do? Not sure if reinstalling Oxygen OS could help and what's the most efficient way to do this while getting magisk/xposed back.

I have a 5T that has magisk installed. I did not install xposed yet and am not facing any if these issues. Maybe try uninstalling Xposed and cleaning cache?

Should be cause of some xposed modules, elaborate the versions of magisk, xposed and the modules installed. And your oos version too. And substratum?

I've got xposed 90.2-beta3(systemless) installed, version 3.1.5
Android 8.1.0 - Oxygen OS 5.1.2
Magisk manager is 5.7.0 and installed version is 16.4 (though it says latest version is 16.0)
Only have 3 xposed modules actually installed.. ChromePie, SnapTools Beta and Xinsta. I could disable the xposed status for a few days and see how I get on, I assume that is enough without uninstalling it? Not sure

There should not be issue with things what you have mentioned above. These modules too are app specific, and what about substratum and magisk modules?

yeah exactly, like I uninstalled xinsta but it didn't stop it crashing (sometimes) when switching accounts... Even Magisk just crashed a minute ago as soon as I opened it to get the version, it was fine when I re-opened it.
Substratum I've never heard of before
Magisk modules all I have is Xposed framework and Youtube Vanced

Again no issues could be caused by these. Maybe try updating the apps you specified or try different older version
Try this older fb messenger for example https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620770051

It just seems to be related to quite a few apps so trying different versions would be annoying, might try it with Instagram as its the most annoying.. Just went into recovery and wiped dalvic cache to switch accounts again.

Nope

I did an OTA update which caused the phone to not be rooted and went back to stock recovery.
I used it for a few days and had no crashes, especially Instagram when switching accounts. Yesterday I flashed TWRP and installed Magisk root again and since have had crashes again... odd.

Snapchat Temporarily blocked

Hi guys,
Since the last few days my snapchat keeps getting temporarily blocked, I'm on a SM-G960F (Galaxy S9_9.0_JULYSecurity) rooted with Magisk and flashed with latest Ambasadii Rom(19.0). The first 3 weeks using snapchat with root & custom rom there weren't any problems at all. Can somebody help me?

A lot of people are having the same issue. Magisk Hide doesn't seem to work with the latest versions of Snapchat. No matter what you do you will keep getting locked out of your Snapchat account. I'm a bit of a NOOB when it comes to this stuff but here is what has worked for me so far. Firstly, you have to serve your penance. There's nothing you can do about that. My most recent ban was 2 weeks. When your access has been restored delete the Snapchat app. Download an older version of Snapchat from apkmirror.com and install it. Version 10.540.31 worked for me. **IMPORTANT** You must untick auto-update of the Snapchat app in Goggle Play. Hide the Snapchat app with Magisk and then hopefully you should be OK. It's only a workaround but it's the only solution I've come across that works. Having said that, it's only been several days but so far so good. If I get locked out again I'll let you know. Good luck.

Same issue here and Im on a SM-G960FD with lightROM v23 and magisk 19.3. I tried randomly with 10.60.5.0 but it didnt work. I will try with version 10.540.31 of snapchat when my 2 day ban is over.

It's been 2 weeks and Snapchat hasn't locked me out using my workaround. So far so good. :good::good:

Follow these steps to use Snapchat with magisk -
1.) Update to latest Magisk stable build v20.0 - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.0/Magisk-v20.0.zip
2.) After updating magisk, Go to Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and check/enable Snapchat and Google Services (all services have to be marked).
3.) Hide Magisk Manager by it self, go to Magisk Manager > Settings and "Hide Magisk Manager" so it will repack Magisk Manager with random name.
4.) Delete "busybox" binary from /system/xbin directory and install BusyBox module from Magisk Manager > Downloads.
5.) Clear data and cache of Snapchat, try to login this time, it will work for sure, if it doesn't, login to this and click unlock my account - https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/login?continue=https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/welcome
I have tried this myself and it works, my first main account was permanent banned on magisk canary build, After that I deleted that account :crying: and started out with fresh new account.
Tested on -
Samsung Galaxy S9+
Rom - Ultimate Rom v11.3
Magisk - v20.0 (Stable)
Kernel - ElementalX
