Hi All,
I love Greenify, I used it regularly on my phone.
Unfortunately, I got a new job and my work required me to install an MDM product, Mobiliron
It will not let me access my work information unless I uninstall greenify. It detects certain applications on their list. It's a really dumb implementation, but not much I can do about it.
Is there an alternate build that I could install that anyone has that is the same application but named something different that might hopefully not flag in their application blacklist?

In case you have installed Xposed, try MinMinHide.
Thanks for the option, but I need a non root option unfortunately. Greenify works fine, but because it flags on an application blacklist it conflicts
For an Android 5.x device, you can use secondary user for your work app, which won't see the apps installed in the primary user.

You must be rooted, but at least don't have Greenify installed.

I bought pro a long time ago and it's one of the first app i install on a new device. However I have now of privacy and battery life related reasons gone away from Google services completely. I did a backup of the donation package and restored it. It says activated but I get error message later on,(see pic) Any other way to activate pro? (cm 12.1,lp5. 1,rooted,xposed)

I have already answered your query in the other thread. In addition, uninstall the donation pack and reinstall from Play Store, not from backup.
Or do you mean that you don't have Play Store?
Yeah I don't have playstore or Google services at all. Only blankstore so I can download non payed apps from play. Too bad it's not possible to verify some other way... Thanks anyway
The only way is to have google to verify it.

I have requested this in the past, but the developer didn't respond. I don't have GApps installed either and Greenify doesn't work. Now I have to search cracked versions from to dark corners of the internet, for an app I've paid for.
The donation package has this permission, in my opinion it should be removed:
com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE
No its shouldn't for 2 people that don't have gapps. There are way more who try to find it in "the dark corners".

1. a lot more than 2 people have chosen not to install the spying, badly written, battery draining gms. And numbers are growing
2. Proprietary is bad, open source good in 99% of cases.
3. Depending on Gms is often completely unnecessary, apps can use open source alternatives instead. Alternatives exist to stop piracy. I use some apps that uses other ways. Like xprivacy for instance.

Check out microG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616
Greenify should then work. You can use Raccoon on your computer to download apps, including paid ones.
hey,
get microG gmscore by Marvin and Amplify.
Easiest way to solve things.
Greenify should be in XDA-Labs
Thanks for the tips. Will try racoon. Tried gmscore before had some issues and now I have gotten used to the good batterystats found replacements for everything that needed Google except greenify
Hi all,
I'm using my S7e with nougat and there is no xposed yet here.
Can someone share how it works this app without using xposed mode? Is this still being so useful in Nougat and without xposed?

Install recent builds as a system app to enable 'privilaged' mode which yields functionality similar to Boost + Xposed. Great for Nougat.

I also converted it as a system app through TiBU but the mode stays as "rooted" perhaps because I am on Nougat.
And Xposed options can not be enabled. I think that it functions as rooted but in a better fashion. But I don't see any difference in performance between normal installation and as a system app.
EDIT: After reading on another thread that TiBU places Greenify apk in /system/app instead of /system/priv-app, I checked and found that indeed the apk was in app instead of priv-app. So used TWRP to move the apk to priv-app and rebooted. Now Greenify is functioning in root+privileged mode. Let me check the performance. (Of course still no Xposed features).

Sorry - didn't phrase question well. Was asking if you had the paid version of Greenify (donation key). Was hoping that might explain lack of access to Xposed functionality when running in privileged mode.

Yes, I also have the donation package installed. Are you running Nougat? Do you get the Xposed options?
Though on opening Greenify I don't find any difference, I find that the phone sleeps better and the drain during idle has come down after moving Greenify to priv-apps.

Well - I speak in half truths. Nougat is installed on a test device. Migrated Greenify to a system app a few weeks ago. Verified it was running in 'Root + Privileged' mode and quickly checked access to Xposed-based features which popped up as expected. But (a huge but...) never attempted to enable any as it was a test device and didn't immediately need the extended functionality. You can guess the rest...can't enable any of the Xposed options...just like everyone else. I hang my head in shame for not throughly testing.
Small positive: Privileged works similarly to Boost w.r.t the speed of hibernation. Probably some other goodies too. Not ready to jump over to Nougat in my daily driver due to other Xposed dependencies. So really not in a good position to give Privileged mode a through assessment.

It's not possible,magisk can't hook into code,only xposed can do that
Magisk can only change and add files
Xposed can only change and add code
You can't turn an xposed module into a magisk module and vice-versa,just because they're both called modules doesn't mean they do the same thing
Huh? XPrivacy has always relied on Xposed (hence the name). Why should it suddenly be different?

Magisk is only a root manger application.
And its modules are nothing but replacement of system files in mirrored system partition created by magisk.
Where xposed can hook Methods and resources.
Never underestimate xposed.
It has great role in reverse engineering of application and customisation.

Xprivacy and Xprivacy Lua are not magisk modules.
XprivacyLua is working well on my 2 x S8. One one Oreo and the other on pie.

May anybody help me to make Xprivacy compatibility to deny requets of libraries (loadLibrary) on Android 7, please?
Or to make the possibility to ALLOW or DENY "Accounts" category based on PARAMETERS?
How may I refresh Xprivacy to read database again without need to reboot?
Thank you very much.

If you do a search for Xposed, there is a uninstall ZIP file that you can flash using recovery mode that will uninstall Xposed, which will then disable Xprivacy and your phone should be able to bootup.

I think you should be able to disable the Xprivacy "module" from within the xposed app, then reboot. Then uninstall xprivacy like you would any other app, then reinstall the xprivacy APK and it should start with default settings.
XPrivacy was way better than XPL, I don't know why M66B would dump it. I still have it running on my Galaxy S5 with Kitkat, it's not like it needs any updating, it's fine how it is. It just needs to run heh. Anyone know how I could get it running on a recent and supported version of Android (like Oreo) and EdXposed? Is it even possible? I'd like to help to work on it.

XPrivacy doesn't work on recent Android versions anymore due to structural changes in Android, which is the main reason why XPrivacyLua was developed.

In fact many things were changed, but the main obstacles are tighter security (SELinux), how the activity manager service works and how apps are being started. Since XPrivacy is not supported anymore, I am not going to provide more details, but both the source code of XPrivacy and XPrivacyLua are on GitHub, so you can check for yourself.

It will be easier to fix if I know that app's name.. there are a few ways for app to recognize data connection and I implemented one way.
Replied by dm
Try this. It should work for Android 4+.
Keep in mind there is no activity for this, it's just an xposed module.. you won't see any icon for it and don't need to open it, just enable it in xposed.
Great thank you, it's installed with the test phone, and ticked on Xposed
But, with Nox with Android 5.1.1, still the same issue
I tried my best to find solutions by myself, and here is what I did
- > Tried to install normaly : Don't Work (app can't be installed)
- > Tried with lucky patcher (on a copy of a clean device) : Still don't work, with the message -> PM Error Failure Install Parse Failed No Certificates and the app was NEVER installed before (was a clean device)

Hi. Have you got a similar app that works the other way around? One that fakes mobile data as a wifi connection? I'm on Android 11.
Old thread but same problem. I have an application that simply will not work on any device that does not or cannot have a mobile data connection. This app believes any of those devices are considered an emulator and therefore will not work on said device. I need to trick this application into thinking Wi-Fi is either mobile data or I need a way for the app to think mobile data is being used. I am using this application on Android 9, or rather lineage OS 16. I have come close to tricking it using several of the apks provided in this thread, but none of them seem to do the trick for a long enough time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Using Xposed (Lsposed) zygote. And with the latest magisk.
Any one find similar app for ATV Box 9.0, please?
@firefds I can't make ICICI Pockets app work without mobile data connection using the apks attached here. Maybe an update is necessary? I am using Magisk Delta with MagiskHide enabled to hide root from the app, Zygisk is disabled and so using Riru variant of latest LSPosed. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA.
Edit: The app worked after using a VPN but like Wifi it detected VPN use and displayed a warning so maybe in the future they will block this workaround. It would be great if mobile data can be faked.
Edit2: The app seems to work in Wifi directly without resorting to the use of VPN. The app is so riddled with bugs that it's hard to say anything with certainty.
There used to be an module called "Anynet" and it used to do same.. Maybe OP can make a module like that for all of us

it really depends on what you are trying to achieve...you can debloat Facebook and its croony apps, LinkedIn, onedrive, swiftkey, and any garbage google apps that don't interest you...I wouldn't advice removing Samsung wallet, pass, knox, bixby and the keyboard as these are tied very closely to the system and debloating these could break something at the system level...I learnt it the hard way and had to ODIN flash the stock rom.

They both have different degrees of how much debloat you want. They both also let you choose which items you want debloated.

Download either one that is an exe they both work on windows
I debloated mine the first day I got it. It had some bloat from T-Mobile and plenty of that Google bloat as well. Removing the Samsung keyboard can be done, you just have to install and set another keyboard to default first. I removed Samsung Messages, Samsung's keyboard, Samsung Pass, and Samsung Pay without any issues.
I remove or disable all the carrier crap that comes on the phone. The Verizon things, the random games, etc. The Samsung stuff I don't or won't use.
Beyond that, I'll disable a few things but otherwise leave things as is. The phones now are so much more powerful and everything optimized so much better, that having a bunch of superfluous apps and processes running really has very little impact.
On my old Droid X or LG G3 for example, I'd load a custom ROM that was basically stripped of everything other than essential processes and Google apps and it made a huge difference. But now, doing the same thing isn't going to make nearly the same kind of impact for most users. The stock experience is already fantastic and there isn't a whole lot of gains to be made by removing stuff.
