Question Spectrum TV app with root help. - OnePlus 9 Pro

HI,
does anyone know how to get the Spectrum TV app working with root? Atm I'm running OOS 11with Magisk and I always get the error in the screenshot. I've always tried the deny list and still get this error. I've Google for an hour with no luck.

Contact the app developer and ask them if they can add the phone to their support list. I mean, it's not a ROOT issue as per your screenshot.

Spectrum TV won't work if you have USB debugging on. Also, it unticks in Magisk's Deny List whenever you reboot. I would make sure both of those are taken care of, then clear all data from the Spectrum app, reboot, open Magisk and retick Spectrum in the Deny List, and then try to open the app.

Thank you both for replying! I tried all of that and still same issue. I guess I'll try contacting the app developer. I'm surprised this phone hasn't been added to the supported devices list. I was just hoping someone here had the 9 pro as well and had experience with the Spectrum app.
Maybe it would be possible to trick the app into thinking I have a Galaxy or something? Obviously those are supported. Probably too much trouble though lol.

I have a OnePlus 9 Pro, running C48, rooted with Magisk 24.3, and the Spectrum TV app works for me, using Deny List and the Universal SafeNet Fix. Do you subscribe to Spectrum as your wifi or cable provider? It used to be that the app wouldn't work unless you were connecting to the same wifi (or in the same area, if using mobile data) that you are obtaining from Spectrum. Not sure if that still applies, though.

I subscribe to their internet and cable service. It used to work on my Oneplus 7 Pro which was also rooted. I've only had this phone since February. I tried the universal safety fix just now and re added Spectrum to the deny list but same thing unfortunately :/
*edit* I've noticed Spectrum TV keeps ubchecking itself from the deny list even without rebooting.

Did you force stop the app, then clear its cache and data, reboot, retick Spectrum in Magisk's deny list after rebooting, and then try the app?

Yeah, I tried all of that. What actually worked I found out about a module called Shamiko installed that and rebooted and tried the app again and it's working! Hopefully it stays working lol.

They do stupid things like this and they wonder why people turn to piracy...

Hey are you by any chance still running it this way? I'm on a Moto G Power 2020 but I can't find any combination of anything that works. Shamiko, with deny list on or off (it says it doesn't work with the list enabled but that seems contrary to what we're trying to do with it) Nothing either way. USB debugging is off, Magisk app hidden. Still getting the Spectrum error. Somehow it knows anyway . All I can really think of is that Viper4Android is also running but that's a deal breaker as it's the whole reason I bought this phone in the 1st place, which was to be a dedicated music/podcast player and navigation phone for work. I'd just use the stock Pixel 6p I have for TV casting otherwise.
-- Edit -- Scratch that sorry I got it to work finally. I wasn't rebooting after disabling the enforcement list and trying with Shamiko module running. It works in that config now. Though I also installed kdrag0n Universal Safety Net fix as well so maybe that combo helped? Either way it did the trick finally and I don't have to worry about Viper being in the mix. Viper works (yes Neon enabled yes processing showing) while using SpectrumTV btw. In case anyone is wondering.

You don't need the universal sfn fix. I use shamiko and denylist in zygisk and every app and game works as intended for me. Fully passing SN. Only thing I don't have is L1, but I could give two butts less about that.

"vzwavsservice" FCs

Hello -- I was trying out a MDM in the office on my G3, and after disassociating my device with it, I started getting FCs on "vzwavsservice". Mainly when the phone boots up. I can't really find any information online as to what this actually does. I have just disabled it. I have not noticed anything different or malfunctioning on my G3.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Obviously it is some sort of VZ Addon...But wondering what its functionality or reasoning is.
Thanks in advance.

I'll be honest. After I posted this, and I froze/disabled this "Service"...I haven't noticed anything not working or acting funny. I would say this is safe to disable. It is likely some type of Verizon add-on.
If you do disable it and see something act up, let me know. Would love to know what it does lol. But for now -- Mine remains disabled. :good:

Try opening the verizon mobile application (the app you would use to check your data...etc)...
Does that give you an error after logging in?
I think that is what it is for...
I started getting this today too. Most of my Verizon stuff is frozen however. Wonder if VZW is pushing an OTA today. Those of us getting it, are we all rooted?
I just got this force close today after updating some apps on the play store. Posting in the Verizon LG G3 section might get more responces.

It appears to be conflict with new Google+ update

You can disable the VZWAVSService without being rooted. Which likely means it is really really pointless.
I get it sometimes on stock unrooted, but also always when I have stuck a T-Mobile or ATT sim in the Verizon LG G3.
VZWAVSService caused by Google+ Update
The VZWAVSService error ceased when I went to application manager and uninstalled the Google+ updates.
Once the updates were uninstalled, my mobile hotspot and USB tether functions returned.
It seems that this service is an address verification process. This explains why, when my phone checked my subscription status for Mobile Hotspot and Tethering service, the functions did not activate.

My hotspot service works with VZWAVSService disabled. I do not think that hotspot and this app are related since I had also disabled this service on my Galaxy S3 for months and the hotspot service still worked the entire time.
I have a Verizon LG G3. I just uninstalled the Google+ updates and reverted back to an "Original Version" to see if that goofy message will cease to continue. I am rooted and i have Wifi Tether Router installed. I used Stump Root to root the device.

Just freeze the app, you can even do it in the stock settings. Vzwavservice-Verizon's anti virus software that McAfee makes and it is strait garbage.
The 11c update fixed this issue?
After flashing beans 11c and using if for a while I realized that I had not re-frozen vzwavsservice. It isn't closing on boot anymore. I believe Verizon fixed this issue in the latest software release.

Issues with MMS/mobile data after updating.

I took the 11A update so that I could root my phone, and since then I've noticed that I no longer have simultaneous voice and data. It worked perfectly before, but now it just goes to the 1x and has no connectivity during calls. I also cannot send an MMS when connected to wifi. It will eventually time out and fail, but if I disconnect wifi it will send instantly. Any troubleshooting things I can do to fix these issues?
Apparently Advanced Calling isn't activated, and it won't stay activated when I select it. Anything to do to fix that?

Did you freeze the app mentioned in posts #16-18 in your other thread, "Caller Name ID"?

Yours may not be the same symptoms as the other user (they sound closer to my symptoms when still running 610B). But it may be worth checking.
If you're using Verizon's Message+, it can send texts over WiFi. Perhaps that feature could be causing trouble, if it doesn't get along well with your WiFi somehow?

You have to disable ABP, if you straight uninstall it it leaves the host files. I am not to sure where it stores the backed up host files but you can try to reinstall ABP enable blocking, disable blocking then uninstall. It may require a reboot after disabling. Not sure if this will help but its worth a shot.

AFWall+ blocks internet on Work Wi-Fi

Hey guys! Right now I am running a Havoc OS and I have AFWall+ as the firewall. It runs flawlessly on mobile data and my home wifi but as soon as I connect to the wifi at work it stops working properly. The wifi at work requires me to login to the network after connecting to it but for some reason, AFWall+ blocks the login pop-up. I've tried turning off the firewall, logging in, and then turning it back on but AFWall+ ends up blocking the internet as well.
The logs show that the (root) app is being denied access but it is whitelisted. I've also tried checking off the wifi whitelist for every program in the list but the wifi is still blocked. I've enabled the (kernel), (ntp), (shell), (tethering), and (vpn) as well. The only option that lets me get the login pop-up and internet access is the (Any app) program. Obviously I don't want to leave that ticked off the whole time. Anybody have any ideas as to what the issue could be?
the whitelisting feature has issues atm on Pie....go look at the AF thread or github....
So far for me the only way it works properly is to invert and the block as in blacklist, not whitelist....YMMV
Ive been assisting in the troubleshooting....last I saw was a Beta2 of v3 out...

Unfortunately your solution doesnt work for me either, I still have to uncheck the blacklist for the (Any apps) program. I suppose I'll have to just wait until the issues get fixed and pass/block (Any apps) as necessary for work. Thank you for the response.

I've been having issues with AFWall+ (Donate) ever since upgrading to Android 9.0 almost two months ago. Dev support has been lacking to say the least, so I've been looking for an alternative. Apparently Avast bought out Droidwall some time ago. I've been running Avast Internet Security for about three weeks now and disabled all the components (along with any the 3rd party analytics) and it works great with no battery drain strictly as a firewall(which requires root as well). And since it's part of Avast IS, future updates/bug fixes shouldn't be a problem.

Question Some apps don't work with root, even when hidden/Safety net passes

I can't sign into a few apps. When I enter my login info to Amazon Shopping & Prime Video and tap the login button, they both keep saying it can't connect. PayPal derps out and closes entirely once I sign in and just as it displays the two-factor authorization part. I've double checked MagiskHide and cleared app data for all three apps as well as Google Play Services. I'm using the latest Magisk canary and SafetyNet passes.
Another, seemingly unrelated issue that only started after I rooted, is that my fingerprints are no longer recognized. I've deleted all of them and re-registered my fingerprints, but they still always fail to work. Any ideas?
Never had a problem with Amazon, PayPal or even Google Pay with root.
I had the same issue with Amazon after root. I'm assuming you're using AdAway? That was my problem. Go into AdAway > Preferences > Root based ad blocking > uncheck enable web server. I never used it and it was disabled on my 8T, so I disabled it on the 9Pro

Same, I'm using both Amazon and GPay regularly, and I've used Paypal since rooting. Are there any maigsk modules or other root apps that could be interfering? Maybe try disabling all of those temporarily.

I fixed mine by just adding *amazon* to the whitelist/Allowed. I'm still using the web server option.
I also have absolutely no problems with Magisk Su using Magisk hide. Google Pay, PayPal and banking apps work without any problems.

I never encountered an app crashing or refusing to work with adb debugging enabled. The only one I know of that will complain of it, but still work, is Titanium Backup. Regardless, I toggled it off and tried them all again. No dice.

Oddly enough, GPay DOES work. I dunno if I mentioned that.
Turns out AdAway was the culprit, but I'm not sure why. Been using it for years and I've never had to add an app's website urls to its whitelist before.
Wish I could figure out why the fingerprints refuse to work, even though the sensor works fine when I add prints to it.

Hm. I am also using AdAway in root mode. No problem so far
What helped me with banking apps was doing the following
Install the app and run it once
Go to magisk and use magisk hide on the app
Go back to the app and force close it then clear cache and data
Reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik
Reboot to system and make sure it's still the magisk hide list
Run the app and it should work flawlessly

Question Has anyone successfully gotten any streaming apps to work on AA?

As per the thread title, has anyone successfully gotten any of the streaming apps to work on Android Auto that has root? I was thinking that I would be able to get it working once I had root but that's not the case. I can get them working on my Galaxy or LG devices (both unrooted) just fine but not on my pixel which has root
Android 12 and recent AA versions seem to break screen mirroring apps. Haven't tried CarStream or similar.

Did you properly set up Zygisk (-> Enforce Denylist)? And set up Universal SafetyNet Fix?
I do not use Androidauto, but all the apps I'm using (banking, security, google pay etc) work without a problem once Zygisk is properly set up.
Yes but it's not likely a safety net thing though
The stream2auto and AA Tweaker threads have some clues. But I've not tried them myself.
I've been able to recently get stream2auto working for one day by uninstalling AA and installing version 6.9.613744. Lost it next time I tried to use it. Also needed to clear app data for AA and Google Play services. This is due to a combination of AA and Google Play Services doing their best to remove third party apps from AA.
I've seen some suggestions for using LuckyPatcher to rename screen2auto. Also seen some for detaching AA from the playstore, but have not tried those for a more permanent. Read through the links posts/threads for more insight.

Lucky you. I was able to get those to install and both show up in AA but fc when trying to launch. AA 7.1.614574. will try updating to that version and see but I'm not optimistic.
Interestingly enough yesterday when I started AA I got that warning that happens every so often where AA doesn't start and makes you have to stop and agree to the terms again and everything started working again. Idk if it's just luck or there's something to it but what I did was used AAAd to download catstream 2.05 and the AA Aio tweaker app to patch catstream and it works... For now
