Hide Magisk, RootCloak alt.? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I just flashed a ROM that allowed me to utilize Magisk but it's very new to me. Is there a way to hide root with Magisk from certain apps that block rooted phones? I have Xposed installed but RootCloak doesn't seem to work, I tried checking Hide Magisk in the settings but no luck. I'm trying to use Vudu's disc to digital option, which seems to kick an error when root's detected. I got around this with RootCloak on my last ROM, I'm hoping there's an alternative. Thanks in advance.

Magisk hide should work for banking apps now. Please update and see.

Uninstall Xposed first, then update Magisk.
Safetynet detects Xposed, that's why you won't be able to use banking apps when Xposed is installed.

Hiding Xposed Framework from apps

Hi, So I recently ran into the problem of not being able to use certain apps such as Snapchat and banking apps while having Xposed Framework installed even if I do not try to modify that application. This problem has forced me to stop using Xposed. So I was wondering, if there was anyway to cloak Xposed. Don't suggest things like root cloak because the apps check for Xposed not for root. Thank you
There are none that i know of. But you can use systemless xposed and toggle it off from Xposed Installer when using apps that detect it. That's currently the only simplest method.

Official N Xposed is here

Let's share what does/doesn't work
Since I made the post, it's only fair I go first.
On A2017G, stock and updated via OTA to 7.1, the flash was successful. The first boot took ~10 minutes. I will now start testing modules and update this post with what does/doesn't work.
Modules I tried so far:
LP: Works
Amplify Battery Extender: Works
Greenify: Does NOT work - The module is active, however, the app does not seem to be aware that it is.
-I'm looking for the old Youtube Background Playback module. It seems to have been pulled from the download list inside xposed manager. If anyone has a copy of it, it would be great to see if it's still working. The LP patch for background play stopped working for me on 3 different devices about 2 weeks ago.
Great!
Maybe a stupid question, but will installing xposed still break safetynet checks? That was the only benefit of running.g without xposed; aps like horizon / Ziggo Go worked, hate to have to do without it.
TIA,
Cheers,

Amplify can't see wakelock or service...greenfy continue to tell me to activate the module. (I just set on the module and reboot many times)
UPDATE: other users with different device have the same problem, I think we need an update of these apps for working with the new version of exposed.

I had the magisk FC too. Fixed it by switching to stable channel reinstalling both the zip and the launcher. Safety net is broken with magisk hide setting and the "universal safety net fix" module.

@rzarectha thank you, but it didn't help. even tried install beta version;
tried to complete uninstall and install again the zip and apk - it worked and no more FC.
Im also on B32 with Magisk, but currently running the official Xposed for Magisk. Should I use the Xposed uninstaller or just remove and uninstall the Magisk Xposed module before starting with the official Xposed process?
Regarding YouTube background play:
I found the .apk on their github page, it's in the first thread that mentions it being removed from the repo. I tested it and it works!
For whatever reason, I cannot get past a bootloop after installing via TWRP. Interestingly, I can install the unofficial module from back in August. I can uninstall that just fine, but reinstalling the proper one does nothing but bootloop. Anyone else having this problerm?
Could anyone try running Fate Grand Order?
After update to V88 the boot time is longer for 45-50 second on my A2017G with Stock 7.1.1B06. With inofficial V87 boots better
This is what I have setup so far. Crappalinks, YouTube Adaway, XInsta, all work. Greenify doesn't and neither did Amplify, not properly anyway. Also it does break Safety net. We'll have to wait for the Magisk Module

why use Xposed for youtube adaway and background player when they make a separate app for that over here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900 I have been using this for a while now and it is great

There is a magisk module on the repo but to my knowledge it still breaks safetynet
For those with issues with magisk and xposed, you can't use them both together, if you want to then you have to use the specific xposed magisk module here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268 also flashing xposed regardless magisk or not its going to break safetynet no matter what. Will explain in that magisk xposed thread.
If someone got problems like me, heres my way i installed it successfully and get everything to work (Magisk!):
- disable xposed modules
- restart to recovery
- install Xposed v88.2 by topjohnwho (from xposed thread) via recovery
- reboot to system (first boot took ~9min)
- install Xposed Installer 3.1.2 for Magisk
- activate modules in xposed installer
- reboot phone and its done.
If you dont deactivate the xposed modules before flashing xposed, you maybe have to reinstall them and maybe set up everything new, if you cant save the settings for the modules. This was happening in my first try. In my second try i disabled them before and activated after flashing and dont have do setup every xposed module again.
A2017G with B06 and Magisk v14.2.
Can you use gravity box module on the stock rom? Is miflavor "close enough" to aosp to be compatible with mods made for that?

Yes. Not all is working, but center clock, battery mod in statusbar, RAM usage in recents, down-/uploadspeed in statusbar and some other things ... enough for me.

Latest Magisk beta resolves SafetyNet on stock ROM

Hello guys!
If you update to the latest Magisk version (v16.4), you will notice that it will now pass SafetyNet check.
Check attached screenshots!

I think it's just as good as SuperSU in handling root apps. The way Magisk stands out though is the modules. I would recommend that you install only the magisk manager (it does not mess with anything in your phone if you just install it), and browse through the list of modules it has. It's very similar to the way modules in xposed look like. Maybe you can find some interesting functionality in there.
I am using the greenify module (works much like boost mode on xposed), busybox, adblocker, systemiser (turns user apps in sys apps), debloater (completely uninstall user apps). There's a ton of mods though, I don't even understand what most actually do.
Keep in mind that having xposed installed will break safetynet no matter what. Magisk can't hide it.

Edit: i moved this issue to the Q&A and help section since more issues keep coming
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/finally-decided-to-switch-supersu-to-t3787201
just switched to latest stock rom (1.2.0 B10) and installed magisk (16.4). it works and safetynet passes. the problem i got now is that the greenify module fails to install in magisk (see screenshot)
do i gotta flash the module through TWRP maybe? still a newbie to magisk since the axon 7 is the first phone to have it working
EDIT: for some reason magisk doesn't remember which apps have requested root after a reboot. everytime i reboot i get a prompt to allow root access to all my root apps (like greenify). idk why this is happening. i mean, root itself is working as it should. i already uninstalled bloatware and disabled/freezed things like the powermanagement
I'm interested in knowing where Magisk is at

Magisk

Hello friends I installed and rooted my phone by magisk, but some apps like Samsung pass, secure folder, Samsung flow don't work on my phone now. it says your phone is rooted the app not run for security reasons. I checked the app in magisk hide but the apps still not work, any suggestions?
on Magisk setting click " Hide Magisk Manager "
also add the apps that detect root on "Magisk Hide"
also you can try downloading Magisk Module that hide being rooted it might work

eToken BCR

Hello!
I'm trying to make the eToken app from BCR work, but I can't find a solution.
Right now I am running Magisk 21.4 with Manager 8.0.7 with LineageOS 17.1 I have to specify that I am using an Xiaomi Mi A2.
If anyone has a solution for this, would youmind helping me.
Thank you!
Hey @HellFire_Wolf ,
Just fixed today try and follow below steps.
1.restore magisk manager with original package.
2.disable hide app.
3.reboot.
4.rehide magisk manager.
5.rehide app.
6.reboot.
It works for me now, OnePlus7T Pro
Now I see the comment.
But do you have a custom rom?
Atm I'm using dotOS
No, the stock one, rooted, and Magisk as a SU
Dh magisk hide works to hide the root on a strock android but for etoken to work it says you cant use root, unlock bootloader and use custom roms. So I hide bottloader and magisk, but what about the othwrs
I haven't used custom rom's, so can't help you more.
I sugest to get the RootBeerSample app from playstore then hide root in Magisk, then check what is detected.
Also double check that you hid magisk from system, not only root from apps.
It changes the app package to a random one and hides some specific checks that most apps use to check for Magisk.
Ik about magisk hide but didnt know about the app. I'll try it Thanks!
