Find My Device will not remain disabled - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I use Universal GMS Doze (a Magisk module) to doze Google Play Services, and it works great so long as all Device Admin apps are disabled. However, Find My Device re-enables itself after a while, and I must periodically check its status in order for Universal GMS Doze to work its magic. Find My Device is the only Device Admin service that re-enables itself. Does anyone know how to permanently disable Find My Device? I want to freeze it in TiBU, but I haven't figured out the name of the background service.

Just a suggestion, instead of the doze module, which I've used as well, maybe try the SysConfig Patch magisk module instead. It does great with keeping play services in check, and "find my phone" stays off :good:

I used Sysconfig Patcher on Oreo, but Pie broke that module for a long time. VR25 rewrote/modified it, and it worked again for me for a while, but it eventually failed completely. So I switched to Universal GMS Doze.
I'll try Sysconfig Patcher again and see what happens.

Yesterday I uninstalled Universal GMS Doze, rebooted, installed Sysconfig Patcher, rebooted twice, disabled Find My Device. I just checked Device Admin apps and discovered Find My Device restarted itself sometime during the night or this morning. So I am back at square one. Does anyone know how to permanently disable Find My Device?

microg / playstore / signature spoofing

so, i now nothing about linux, i know about android only as much as every other phone user. i used android emulators, one day i though hey, what if you just use android as an os and i found this new dimension, almost.
now, i installed the last bliss os, i had many crashing problems (installing apps from apkpure caused crash, installing from built-in file manager also caused crash) and i figured pretty much all of those problems stem from notification problems. so i go and disabled all notifications, app by app, including system ui notifications. now i can install anything from apkpure, i don't receive any crashing.
another problem was with vertical apps. they didn't show properly, solved that problem with the built in orientation tool.
now, i want to know wth is this microg thing is. i can install any apk from apkpure so i don't need store for that. i am also okay with playing games in guest mode. all i want being able to ignore google login part. (edit: i just installed another game in which you login with plarium registration method which also stopped working when loading bar was showing "connecting to store systems". makes sense, i guess.)
microg thing has a self check and i guess when everything checked it will do exactly that? it will fool apps as if i have google play while i don't? so i need a tutorial about that. what's unchecked for me?
system has signature spoofing support CHECKED
system grants signature spoofing support CHECKED
system spoof signature UNCHECKED
play services gmscore installed CHECKED
play services gmscore has correct signature UNCHECKED
playstore phonesky installed CHECKED
playstore phonesky has correct signature UNCHECKED
(everything else between checked)
last entry called "network based location enabled" UNCHECKED. (it says you either disabled this in system setting which i didn't or the system is not supported)
thanks in advance.
I have a similar problem - I managed to get some of the unchecked checked by clicking on the option itself and sometimes a dialog would come up asking to grant some sort of permission. But I am still stuck with 'System spoofs signature' and 'Play Services (GmsCore) has correct signature' unchecked.
Does this mean the signature spoofing is not happening? If so I'm not sure what else I need to do to get it set up on Bliss OS 11.14.

Problem with Rooted Stock Rom with AirWatch

My company is now enforcing and managing BYOD with AirWatch. I'm trying to enrol my Magisk-rooted Pixel 2 XL. I've searched around XDA and other sites and I was able to enrol the phone when I use Magisk Hide to hide from the AirWatch agent, aka now the Intelligent Hub. It creates a Work profile and installed several work related apps. The only other app aside from Intelligent Hub I've tested so far is Boxer and it works for the few minutes during my test.
When I say Boxer works for a few minutes, that is because next I attempted to open Workspace One. As it loads, I'm guessing it checks other details about the phone, then it would popup a message saying Work apps and profile removing because the device is "compromised" and uninstall the work apps and Word profile.
I would like to use Magisk Hide and hide from Workspace One app, but Magisk Hide doesn't even list that and other apps in the Work profile. An admin at work checked the AirWatch server and it shows the device compromised detection with the status "Malicious file found - Check files in system or exec folder".
So my question is, outside of troubleshooting step by step from wiping phone and setting up each thing from scratch, anyone else have an insight on what else I can check?
FYI, these are the following setup I have on my phone
- Pixel 2 XL
- Rooted with latest version of Magisk and Manager
- Latest Pie 9.0 Aug 2019 Update
- Magisk Modules Installs: Busybox, Viper4Android
- Apps with Root Access: AdAway, BetterBatteryStats, Franco Kernel Manager, Material Terminal, Titanium Backup

The following works but I am not sure if all the steps are crucial and which ones may be superfluous. Those instructions in (parentheses) may be not necessary).
I am not a programmer (Basic on a C-64 doesn't count, I take it), don't know anything about computer architectures etc., just able to follow instructions and wrap my mind around them to tweak my devices.
The main part is to "Hide Magisk Manager" after Boxer is installed (but before it is opened/setup) as that also creates another Magisk app (instance?) with the new name for the work profile where Boxer etc. show up and can be hidden with Magisk Hide.
The other (first) part is to hide anything that would alert and conflict with Hub before or during setting up the work profile - I pretty much hid everything under Magisk Hide...
I don't know BYOD nor Workspace One, so the solution below may not work.
- uninstall Hub (that's the only app remaining after the auto-uninstall, right?)
- if Magisk Manager is already hidden: go to Settings\Restore Magisk Manager "with original package and app names" - that seems to be important, as hiding it later and with another name will then also create a Work Profile where one can see and click and hide the work profile apps such as Boxer (not sure if it works the other way around, i.e. starting off hidden with a different name and then later restoring to original will create a Magisk work profile)
- Magisk Hide: click almost every system app, not just the Google ones, but almost everything, camera, calendar, contacts etc. and your phone maker's versions as well (not sure what is necessary, but only Google system apps didn't seem to do it...), also all root and SU related apps like BusyBox etc. (not sure what Hub looks for)
(- System\Apps > clear storage data for Google Play Store and other Play Apps, also make sure Hub is really uninstalled. If not or having problems at least clear data storage as well)
- reboot (can also go into TWRP and wipe cache/Dalvik, not sure if necessary)
- install Hub, don't open it
- open Magisk, go to Magisk Hide: click Hub
(- close Magisk)
(- reboot)
- open Hub, let setup run its course creating the work profile
- if there are conflicts showing in Hub (and/or on your employer's MDM website for your device), e.g. root certificate not installed, don't install any apps yet such as Boxer etc. and reboot instead
- Are those conflicts resolved after reboot?
- install Boxer and other apps (trough Hub itself, MDM website push (or Google Play)) but don't open/start them
(- reboot)
- open Magisk, go to Settings\Hide Magisk Manager and click on it, pick a name and confirm: this will then change the name of Magisk AND create a another Magisk app (with the new name) for the work profile.
- open that new Magisk work profile and go to Magisk Hide: click Boxer (and other apps controlled by Hub); Hub itself and everything already hidden in the private (= non-work) profile Magisk app should show up here as already hidden. Double and triple check.
(- reboot)
- open Boxer and start set-up
That's it. Stable, even after another reboot.
Did this solution work for you @s0l1dsn8k3?
I am in a similar boat. @s0l1dsn8k3 please let me know if you found an alternate solution.

Just tweak it [Tab S4] - debloat, root, plugins, battery...

Tab S4 stock cleanup actions
phablet guide fest continues V30->Note9->6T->Mi9->S10->7T->Tab S6->Tab S4, time to provide some thoughts, easy to click links and guides. Goal is to have a clean device after each update, and have a helper script running at boot or on demand. This is a tablet, we want to achieve flat battery graphs when it is unused (picture attached), hopefully charge once a week with slight usage.
Debloat
What the script does:
* choose 8 categories of app removal, in the beginning of the file
for each say 0=skip 1=remove 2=revert back
* use more switch to disable some questionable/helpful stuff
* disable up to 80 apps with possibility to revert back
* remove usage access for google (do manually)
* remove device admin backdoor "Find My Mobile", you won't recover stolen device this way lol, it doesn't work with Secure Startup! it's useful for Govt.
* remove proca (which was slowing down tablet after rooting), if it doesn't work from your shell, edit the file as below
Tested ok on March stock Pie firmware. Samsung has too much bloatware installed, and requires shocking permissions to run some basic services. We will further need to reclaim privacy. As for debloat list, i've cooked the list based on knowledge of each process, its current presence in the Pie firmware, and what would fit the tablet usage. In this case, i'm leaving Samsung account, Galaxy shop and few pen apps and we assume XPrivacy is sending these snitch services bogus personal details.
Download: (file attached)
Installation:
- run in su terminal once or add to any startup script (3C\Device mgr\Scheduler can assign scripts from /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ccc71.at/scripts), or to magisk
Rooting
We want encryption. There are no ROMs, and TWRP can be used for many other tasks without access to your files.
OEM unlock in dev settings
when turned off and rather plugged it to your PC with drivers installed, hold Power & Vol+ & Vol- til you see download screen, confirm with Vol+
in ODIN, slap TWRP into AP while "Auto reboot" is unchecked
hold Power & Vol- to exit download mode, then Power & Vol+ to enter recovery
in TWRP, slap kernel and Magisk into tablet from SD card or USB (can be usb flash, can be other mobile, can be adb)
in TWRP, say boot to system and wait 5min
check Magisk app status, enable USB debugging in dev settings
kernel: WETA recovery: TWRP 3.3.1 for PIE SM-T83x
watch kernel log for 20sec
Code:
dmesg -Tw|grep proca
if proca messages appear open /vendor/etc/init/pa_daemon_qsee.rc and comment the lines
You should enable "Secure startup" in "Biometrics and security" settings. Recovery should fail reading encrypted drive sda27 because of its crypto flags and logical mapping.
Which plugins to use
Similarly to Mi9, collecting what i think is useful to keep on stock rooted firmware.
Magisk plugins:
* Riru - Core, Riru - Ed Exposed -- brings XPosed to Pie. Need also installer. Make a choice SandHook/Yahfa bipolar release, i never found out which one is better.
* libsecure_storage companion -- helps us keep the bluetooth pairings
* (optional) YouTube Vanced black themed -- brings usable YouTube experience. Unfortunately it's now a horror to install (v15), but v14 from Magisk still works.
* (optional) Move certificates -- perhaps
* (impossible) QuickSwitch -- there's no pill but Samsung custom recents... oh how glad i am for it now! Android10 cancelled this fantastic Pie pill already and you can scroll apps in OneUI!
XPosed plugins:
* Xposed Edge Pro -- a must have and best plugin
* XPrivacy -- Screw the big brother. Must have of the century. Disabling analytics, tracking, telephony, network, identification for all visible apps and all Google and Samsung apps with some exceptions.
* Firefds kit -- so this is our main customization app irrelevant here: ..and enables the very important call recording, which is beutifully integrated into call history. Bye bye external apps. Also for Samsungs it forces Restart "recovery"
* (optional) Xposed Dex -- some tweaks
* (optional) afWall -- Problems with this firewall and some VPN clients for years. Using AdGuard now and happy. It can even control DNS, no need one of those paid lausy apps. This plugin should by disabled in Xposed.
* (optional) Exi for Swiftkey -- you can make Swiftkey great again, GBoard is still the best, Samsung keyboard is very good, but too tall and leaves gap in fullscreen mode
Root apps:
* TitaniumBackup -- a must since Android was born
* Adaway -- a must but with AdGuard not so.. but i use both
* AdGuard -- can filter more and can amend requests.. that's a game changer. You can have a efficient proxy when rooted.
* 3C toolbox -- too helpful not to pay for the biggest package
* (optional) Root Essentials -- a multitool, have a look
* (optional) MiXplorer -- best file manager, replaces spyware ES File explorer you had before. Edits root files comfortably even when other editors don't
* (optional) FolderSync -- best sync tool
Battery
Battery saving:
- tablet should not be neccessarily always connected, receive notifications, so why not keep it dead when the screen is off
- the key is to disable background network activity:
disable it overall by Medium Power Saving mode
disable background network for individual apps (there's "Allow background data usage" and also nice "Allow background activity" checkbox)
force it with 3C (Device Mgr\Profiler) or Adguard (App Management)
- can't see wifi switch.. to turn wifi off when screen off. no wifi scanning drainer or other "intelligent" bs functions there either. just "Hotspot 2" - turn off.
- nearby scanning should be off, what a useless function of finding unknown devices - once you pair the known, what's the sense? or you keep connection 10 new bt devices each week? just a drain and endless beacon
- location can be off, and again it can be scripted by turning on only when screen is on by 3C
- not installing {LSpeed, Naptime, Servicely, FDE, LKT, Universal GMS Doze, Sysconfig patcher} here
- no signifficant doze functions here {AOD, fp icon, dt2wake, raise2wake} to speak off
- we want battery to remain flat when screen off, last tablet i had could do -1% per week! let's do it here
Other
- i like tender boot screen indicating knox off status, no need to flash boot logos
- no boot keys needed like on Tab s6
- not using multidisabler as i'm on stock and i do want encryption on every device ever
- how to launch camera quickly?? still dind't find out
- don't be afraid to use another device (mobile) as USB drive.. this way you can restore your apps directly via TitaniumBackup without copying it first! also Smart Switch can be used from non-Samsung phones, but it is as weak as Google backup ever was - no data restore
What do you do to run this exactly?
copy the file to storage. open su terminal. Get any root terminal app (ConnectBot, 3C Toolbox, or adb shell) and run as root. I run this script as autostart on each of my devices.
wifi_standby_test: first battery standby test: 37 hours to 91%, i've 'charging protection' so approx 93% that give us 0.19%/hr drain with wifi and bluetooth on. 10x less then a mobile (S10). Good start, nice 3 weeks of standby potential, but let's try medium power saving mode to squeeze it to over month of standby.
Will i loose my data while rooting? Im on Build number PPR1.180610.011.T835DDS4BSL2

ah i see... you need this checkbox unlocked to flash. this device will wipe itself if you just toggle the checkbox. so in the end, data will be wiped in transition from unrooted state.
and regarding backup, just conventional methods like google backup or deeper cable backup by Helium which can partially substitute TitaniumBackup on unrooted device.
How did you get Weta running on the March firmware when it isn't supported?
NM, I see you just used the kernel part.
Running this script did very little for me - no options were given, just a few packages disabled before it errored out
Thank you for the script! It made a great difference on my tab s4, I was able to enable back Chrome and Google.
My device was lagging before... Thanks again for the write up...
Any suggestions on installing apps to sd card? The option under dev options, to force install apps to sd card is not really good.
I just purchased a refurb Tab S4, it should be arriving over the weekend. The seller notes that the S4 is on Oreo.
I noticed references to Pie here. Should boot and I let the tablet update to the latest release from Samsung, and then root / debloat as described in this thread after the Pie update?

yes..why rooting an old version.. no OTAs later so you'd have to update manually again.

But, as it turns out ... I won't be able to root or debloat anyways. I purchased a refurb Tab S4 that appears to be in excellent like-new shape, but it was also mislabeled on Amazon.
Instead of getting a SM-T830, I received a SM-T837T (T-Mobile version). I plan on getting it unlocked so that I can use it on AT&T, but from what I understand, it's unrootable.
Thanks, tho!

I was wondering about this. So there is no way to update once rooted, other than a full clean flash and start again?

later use Frija to get new firmware and update. cleaning is only on first root as we can't avoid it when switching the OEM lock.
This thread is really one of the best thread for tab S4
Thanks for that

Question, now that 10 is out will you update the OP, some things change.
I am not sure things like exposed can be update? Tried and get some reboot.
Proca not present and other things.

You have to hide it fully in magisk. And then reboot
Are you using stock rom? Or any other custom rom? If you can't pass safetynet, Magisk hide doesn't "hide", so we have to locate the error.
I using Stock Rom.
Fully hide, reboot And nothing change.
Flash magisk module and you will be ok
https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v1.1.1/safetynet-fix-v1.1.1.zip
In Google Play:
Certification play protect - the device is not certified.
what should I do with it now

Thanks ill try it
after flashing the module test your safetunet status.
after clear data of Goole Play Store , google Services and google Pay.And you should be good to use Google Pay.
Safety net is successful, Google play is also successful, but the payment card cannot be added - error:
request failed - transaction could not be performed. When adding a credit card.
Edit:
...the current credit card cannot be removed, it is said to be associated with some one payment method. I wanted to try removing it completely and signing in again. :-(

I tried that, unfortunately no change.
Try this:
Working: Magisk with Google Pay as of gms 17.1.22 on Pie
Ok. I tried this and it worked on gms 17.1.22, allowing one to add cards and pay in store. Warning YMMV, but this is the process I did to get this working. One caveat is that I suspect users will have to reverse some step if gms is updated and...

Dont work :-(
So for now, to sum it up:
magisk safety net is pass-ok.
In magisk I have two fix modules (screenshots) and google pay adding a credit card still not working. Still error OR-TAPSH-08.
I also read on the net that it helped someone wait 1 day and then the payment card went to add.
Next:
when I run clean and select the security check, it turns out to me that there is a problem in the payment environment.(screenshots)

Not trying to be mean or anything but, have you enabled magisk hide?
Uninstall universal safety net fix first and restart.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you are running the latest version of magisk.
Make sure hide is on and you have selected all core Google services and gpay.
Then install magiskhide props config and restart.
Install an command terminal from the play store and type "props". You may have to enter "su" first.
Type "1" then “f”
Then follow the steps to select your phone model.
Then apply the fingerprint and restart.
If you cannot find your phone model, then ignore this step.
Go into magisk settings and click on the option to hide the magisk app. The app should reinstall itself under the "settings" name.
Restart again.
Then, turn data and WiFi off, go into settings and clear the storage/data of all Google apps and especially Google play services. Then just reflash the gpay fix (DON'T RESTART). Turn connection back on and try to add your cards as well as any nfc setup for those cards.
Then restart your phone.
Then go into Google play store, and into settings, and ensure that the device is certified.
This allowed me to get gpay working, however, I'm running a custom rom though.
You may want to carry your cards physically in case the phone doesn't work for the first month or so.
Hello.
I have a magisk hide.
For the item google services framework, if I check, after leaving and re-entering the already checked google services framework is not, the check mark does not hold.(screenshot)

Hi, sorry, I had to edit my reply several times.
Just enable them all just in case. For the 2nd screenshot, enable the hide thing. I have it enabled so the option says to restore it.
For the services framework bugthing, ignore it. The gpay fix was the one that added it. Just expand it and ensure its on
I'll try it all, thank you. I'll get back to you today
I'm tangled in it, you wrote a lot. Please send me one more steps 1 to ..... Thank you very much
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, you're really a giant, it all works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Safety net in magisk PASS.
Google play store - device is certified.
Credit card added successfully.
Tomorrow I will try payment using a mobile phone and NFC and see if it is fully functional.
I'll let you know tomorrow if the payments are working.
BIG BIG thanks

Question MagiskHide functionality now that it's not supported in core?

Is there some way to get back MagiskHide functionality now that it's not supported in core?
I have 23016 installed (for latest p6xl)

It's unnecessary as zygisk works fine to hide apps.
Ooh, I will try that!

In addition to what @jlokos said about using the deny list, the Alpha version of Magisk by vvb2060 still has the Magisk Hide function I believe. Just another option...

I have SafetyNet fix & Zygisk denylist, and it's working for Play store.
It looks like some apps are not happy with Zygisk, though, namely amazon app store (appears to detect root)
Will try vvb2060's, is this it?

Hmm not quite, not sure if it includes that yet this one doesn't but the code is in master, looking around

This is the latest (from Telegram group). Join the Telegram group to keep up with latest. Can't give a link b/c it's not allowed.
Latest seems to include the MagiskHide cleanup, and amazon appstore is detecting root
Did you clear data and cache of the ama appstore?

Yup
Edit: and there are no extra settings for MagiskHide, how is this supposed to be different?
I installed Jeff's crappy appstore, selected it in Magisk Alpha's 23016 hiding list, was able to start it without any root-detection-message and uninstalled it instantly thereafter So it should work. What do mean by extra settings for Magisk hide? I just selected it in the hiding list.
To clarify, the app store starts but hides some apps if it detects root.
Play store does the same if it detects root (currently doesn't, thanks to safety net fix). For instance, Netflix, Pokemon Go, etc..
Also noticed Netflix & such are unable to start with "Sign in ... with your saved password" flashing like crazy & unable to actually sign in.
logcat says
12-16 21:31:18.375 1505 3393 W InputManager-JNI: Input channel object 'aeeda26 com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.auth.api.credentials.assistedsignin.ui.AssistedSignInActivity (client)' was disposed without first being removed with the input manager!
This is very likely a different issue... but present with 23016 canary.
Maybe I should try to reflash & try fresh

Hmm ... you must have done something wrong ... hiding works fine for me. I would suggest to:
- remove all magisk modules (and reboot)
- re-patch boot.img and download to PC
- in the Magisk app, click 'Magisk deinstall
- reboot (no root now)
- reboot to bootloader
- flash patched boot.img
- reboot
- re-install Magisk app, 'hide' the app in settings
- enable zygisk
- configure denylist, make sure that when you select an app you also select ALL services underneath it for hiding
- install USNF 2.2.0
Now check your root detection apps, they should work.
Netflix should also work (clear cache for Play Store and Google Play-services)
All is working fine for me.
I just factory reset, reinstalled magisk, added a plain account (no copy apps from old phone), enabled zygisk, added USNF, hid magisk.
Installed YASNAC (passed), reset storage for Play Store (device is now certified), installed Netflix.
Added Netflix to denylist, reset Netflix storage.
Opening Netflix -- still infinite loop of gray "Sign in ... with your saved password" at the bottom.
Pixel 6 Pro, sq1d firmware. Magisk canary (23016)
Aside, adding Google Play-services to denylist doesn't survive a reboot. There are "denylist rm" entries in the log after safetynet-fix, maybe it removes those..?

You should not add Google play services to denylist !
Then clear Netflix cache again, reboot ... try again ...

I tried it with no Play Services, and clearing Netflix storage, same thing.
This is happening specifically when my google account is on the phone and it has a saved Netflix login info.
Also tried with SD1A fw from Nov., same thing.
I tried removing the saved pw - everything is fine, Netflix works.
Re-saved the pw after logging in, logged out & opened Netflix again -- same issue (see attached)
In other words, it's not really Netflix that's the problem...

When you log out of Netflix (from within the app; click profile icon upper right; then 'log out') do you then get the app's login screen? If yes, can you log in properly on that screen?
Only other suggestion which I have is: log out of Netflix from a browser/web. Remove your Netflix password from your Google account (also on the web). Login on Netflix (browser), save password again in your Google account. Then try again on Android/phone.
Will try..

Amazon app works for me, just ordered Spigen cover, screen protector and lense protector all from Spigen on Amazon.
My banking app dont even like developer settings enabled or root or root hiding at all, can even see i have bootloader unlocked, so i am forced to live with no root through.

I had a heck of a time with the Amazon app but it didn't have anything to do with root. Was adaway. Had to run the log and white list a few things now it's good to go.
