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.

Since the Update to 1.1 , after reinstalling GAPPS my FP isnt shown in the Device-Manager
i can see it in the Browser unter My Devices but not in the Device-Manager.
Other users told me that it was visible bevore the Update but neither it was possible to get the location of the FP nor to let it ring from remote.
Are there any workarounds, or solutions for this issue?

I managed to solve this by resetting Google Play Services...
Go to System > Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services
Disable
Uninstall Updates (go ahead with deactivating as Device Manager)
Uninstall updates (again!)
Force Stop
Disable
Clear cache
It takes many steps to disable this thing
Now you can Enable it back.
You should have a Notification saying "App application requires updating google play services", or simply open this link on your device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update
For the following final steps, check the Help pages if you don't want to provide google with too much information
Open the newly updated Google Play Services and enable stuff you need under the Andrdoid Device Manager subsection.
Verify if Location > Access location is enabled...
Hope that works for you, it did for me!

for me too Thx!
After the update to 1.6 the Problem came back but now i cant close Google Play Services because when i want to , it says that it is impossible to Uninstall Play Services because it is an active Device-Administrator..
can anyone confirm this issue or even provide a solution?
thx
I can still locate my device after the upgrade.I also applied the partitioning update, so this may be due my phone losing all its data as part of the upgrade process.
Strangely enough, Play Services is not a Device-Administrator on my phone, nor is asking to be one. Can you revoke Device-Administrator status via Settings>Security>Device administrators?
i did the repartitioning too and now it seems to work
Hi folks,
I'm trying to keep my Fairphone free of googleApps (because, you know, $reasons), but as usual it's not that easy.
I am struggeling to get NoGApps working. First of all: kudos to @MaR-V-iN - I don't have a paypal account, but I could invite you for a Kölsch next time I'm in the area.
Can anybody review my steps and possibly describe how to get it running properly?
0. installed OI File Manager (to be able to access the internal partition)
1.1. downloaded μg v1.3.2 (NetworkLocation.apg)
1.2. ( tried to copy to /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk - to no avail: "... could not be copied")
1.3. installed NetworkLocation, allowed access in XPrivacy popup, rebooted.
1.4. downloaded cells-world.db, renamed to cells.db, moved it to /sdcard/.nogapps/cells.db
1.5 tried to find any sign of the application. (Found nothing.)
Sadly, Network location does not show up, anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong places?
2.1. downloaded Blank Store 0.6.6 (BlankStore.apk)
2.2. (renamed it to com.android.vending.apk, tried to copy it to /system/app/com.android.vending.apk - no success.)
2.3. renamed again, installed BlankStore.apk, allowed access in XPrivacy popups, rebooted.
2.4. downloaded android-checkin-1.0.jar and bla.bat, copied them to the location of java.exe, generated an android ID.
2.5. went to menu [Settings]{Accounts}
2.5.1 entered (dedicated...) google credentials and android ID,
2.5.2 entered slightly changed credentials that @DSoundso mentioned (SDK should be 17, I think. I also used a German carrier's MCC-MNC).
2.5.3 rebooted.
2.6 opened BlankStore: yay, I can search it. But I can't install any app: it crashes constantly.
I should mention that the Account settings were gone several times, so the BlankStore would close immediately. I had to re-enter them, and tried also exactly the credentials @DSoundso mentioned in the NOGAPPS thread.
I can't "sync" the account under [Settings]{Accounts}{Sync}. It just "says Sync is OFF", "sync now" does not seem to work.
I logged into the google account on a desktop PC, and no devices show up. ("No active devices").
So, the next steps are unfinished:
3.1. downloaded Maps API v1 (nogapps-maps.zip)
3.2. tried to download via Blank store: BusyBox, TWRP, TitaniumBackup. (BlankStore crashes.)
...to be continued?
Can anybody walk me through?
Or at least single out any errors I made above?
Hey, did you have a look at the XDA-Wiki section about installing the Blank Store? Following this step-by-step should hopefully install the Blank Store
I am too avoiding the Google Apps and also installed the maps successfully (didn't try NetworkLocation yet) and your problems with "could not be copied" sound like a problem with the user rights.. I'm not sure how your file manager works but the with the Android SDK (see above link) and the right commands it should work.
As far as the crashes of the Blank Store are concerned: at first mine also didn't start and crashed, which was caused by the missing Store account but as it sounds yours IS starting but then not really functioning, right? :|

Thanks, I gave that a try yesterday. 1.7 gb download, what a mess... But solved the problem: it was a rights issue. I was under the impression that the OI File Manager had superuser rights. I was wrong. Got BlankStore working now, but it crashes still quite often on download.
I'm still not sure what to make of it. As I said, it *seemd* to be working before as well, but *no* download was finished. Now, *some* finish their dl, and if they don't I get an error notification (was missing before).
However, whenever I try to load a paid app, the BankStore crashes instantly.
I tried to read the whole NOGAPPS thread and realised: it only works for free apps. And I already redeemed a gift card at the Play Store to buy a paid Titanium Backup version. ****e, I'm stupid. :silly:
Still, it would be nice if it would not crash, or at least tell me it would crash when trying to load a paid app.
Also, I still can't see any active device when logging into the account on the web. Any ideas there? Is that supposed to be like this?
(Funny enough, I *can* see which apps I downloaded through BlankStore.)

It seems both are not working properly for me. OSMAnd can find it's position by GPS. Offi is working, but can not find a location (GPS turned on). Also in Offi Stations, 'Acquiring location' never gets finished. The map stays blank in landscape mode. I would very much appreciate it if you would report your status here: if you can get it to work, how - and if not, what $reasons do you assume?
The permissions are not the problem. /system has to be mounted writable.

permissions for Offi / Maps Api access?

Thanks for pointing that out, @elchi1234. I'm not used to work on linux-like systems, but I'm eager to learn.
However, I assume this could have something to do with permissions:

I tried to figure out why Offi is not showing any map. It seems like it's trying to DL / access map tiles and not getting access, which sometimes even causes crashes:
Code:
W/MapsAPI ( 5201): MapTileDownloader: Problem downloading MapTile: /17/65535/65535 HTTP response: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
According to the crash report, this happens with every tile the app is trying to access.
Did I mess up somehere?
Nice to hear that the Blank Store is now working for you.
Hm, that problem with Öffi sounds familiar to me - I seem to recall that I had these problems too.. since you could install those Apps it looks like your installation of the map files was succesful. I think you should try the GPS fix mentioned here. It really helps A LOT (or did you already do that..?)
Report back!
Well, the MapsAPI seems to be installed correctly. (It was never working for me, too. I use it for that apps that require it but don't really need it.)
I would guess that there is a change in the API of the webserver that MapsAPI doesn't know about.
Installing plenty apps of different sort I noticed that I have no longer option to enable/disable verifying of applications I want to install (below checkbox "unknown sources".
I have System Tuner, DroidWall, Xposed modules, BetterBatteryStats, more ...
I wonder how can I discover which one made verification switching impossible.
I'd prefer not to uninstall one after one.
Any hints ?
=========================
I found reason.
Verifying process was disabled by me in Google Play Store.
Case closed.
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.

Hello
I installed the Marriott app this morning, and when I go to run it, i get that security message along the bottom third of the screen, and the app shuts down.
What is causing that?
It is detecting root/magisk.
Add Marriott to Zygisk hide list, then clear Marriott storage&cache, force close and reopen.
I downloaded the app and installed it to test. If you don't clear the app cache (and only force close and reopen) it will not work. You must clear that before opening again
Thank you App
I followed your instructions, but I still get that message.
Should I have rebooted after adding to the list??

No. That's not necessary. The following 3 steps is all you need
I cleared storage, force closed, and run it.
I get that initial welcome screen of the app, and before I can press on the SIGN IN button, it closes forcefully.
This happens no matter how many times I repeat the steps.

What magisk version and modules are you using?
Also, what Android/oos version are you using?
Do you have device certification in play store? Or what's your YASNAC result?

After some more poking around, that app detects everything. I attempted to monitor the https traffic to see what contacts are made at app-boot. It detects that I'm monitoring traffic. I attempted to use frida to bypass the ssl pinning so I can monitor traffic. It detects that I'm using frida. All of those cause a close condition.
This could mean, if it detects anything abnormal, you're gonna get force closed. The whole toast not showing up is annoying. You might be able to adjust your font/text size for the system in Accessibility, to see the full text.
If you have busybox or anything else you can think of that might be detected, try disabling them or any questionable modules like lsposed, restart, then see if you can open the app.
I looked inside the app and don't see some of the stuff as strings, and existing strings are already using some reflected values in another index. It appears to use some kind of library that is checking for root, certification, ssl certificate pins, frida, probably xposed and so on. Then retrieving the response from an api.
My thought was to repackage the apk without root checks for you but if they're doing that much for security, there's almost no chance I will be able to launch the app with self signing for the apk.
Having the full toast response would be helpful here
Wow App.. How detailed, you are.
Here are my modules plus Universal Safetynet fix. I'm running a13 f.17 build.
I'm not sure how to proceed. I installed it on my wife's phone and used it..
Here's a reddit thread with someone else fighting with the Marriott Bonvoy app.
old.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/yf8gyu/help_hotel_app_detecting_root/
Its quite ridiculous that a Hotel app is so restrictive and difficult.
I just (briefly) tried running the app inside Island, but still got the toast nags / close.
Interestingly I get one of two nags "you're on an unsecure network" or "we've detected magisk, etc)
I wish that I had twrp to blame, but I don't have it installed.
Hey there,
I did some looking at older versions of the app (apkpure has them). On my phone (Android 9, Magisk 23) the last version that will run (using MagiskHide with all the 3 boxes ticked for the marriott app), is 10.4.0.
Marriott Bonvoy™ 10.4.0 (Android 9.0+) APK Download by Marriott International - APKMirror
Marriott Bonvoy™ 10.4.0 (Android 9.0+) APK Download by Marriott International - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads
www.apkmirror.com
Version 10.5.0 starts giving me nags.
(Sometimes it is just easier to use an older version of an app, than fighting to get the very latest to work!)
Mine is 10.13.1. not sure what got updated. I usually don't want to get stuck with old version, so I'll just use the website to make reservation and redemption. Yikes
I heard Magisk Delta by HuskyG could hide it from detection. Has anyone been brave enough to try? Well, I tried and it didn't work. I tried the whitelist mode by leaving Marriott out of the SuList and many other banking apps too. But it still detects root. Marriott app version 10.13.1. Older version say 10.12.0 and below should survive.
