Hey there XDA community and Pocophone users and owners. I have recently encountered a problem with Snapchat on my phone which locks my account due to the reason of "3rd party applications". This has started occurring on the 17th February. Since then, it has been occurring everyday, causing it to increase in duration each time and this has been quite a frustrating experience. I am running MIUI Stable 10.2.2.0 Global with stock kernel. My phone is rooted with Magisk 18.1 and passes the safetynet test. I am also using the stock Snapchat Alpha app. I have never encountered this problem before, but now that the problems have arise, it has caused as such. I have tried using magisk hide to no avail as the symptoms continue to persist. My suspection is that it is either the MIUI camera port or the Google Camera by San1ty. I also set the lib for the Google Camera to Xlib V2 if that is relevant. My reason for suspection is because the problems I had encountered came soon after I had installed both these apps. After my Snapchat account was locked again, I have since removed both of these applications from my phone in order to see if they were the cause of the problem. I will be checking tonight if my account will still get locked after doing this. I just ask for you fellow Pocophone owners and Snapchat users, have you ever had this problem? And if so, how were you able to fix it?
This happened to me too right now it's the second lock (24 hours) so somebody would better search for a fix. I think something related to magisk triggers the snapchat. Also I am using a J5 2017 (prometheus lite rom ).
i think because root

Does anyone know of an issue with Snapchat and Cyanogenmod 11? I've recently flashed for the first time, I'm happily using cm11, but Snapchat hardly works at all. I've tried the alternative "Snapsave". But with both apps it might work once or twice, but then either doesn't receive snaps at all, or it does, but I can't access them. And sending fails. I've tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling, I even started a new Snapchat account. But whatever I do I'd say I have a 10% success rate at best. Are there any known cm v sc issues, or can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.
Hello,
I've been looking around for an application that tracks application installs.
Especially for malware installs.
Let me explain the situation:
I've got a smartphone with installed apks (all legal from the playstore)
After a while I am trying to find out what problems are causing some random ad popups (about dating for those who are interested) it's caused by an apk called recents.
I always delete that program. But it seems that it reinstalls itself, every now and than.
also since today I've got an shortcut on my main screen that is called coobrowser (not coolbrowser although it has the same icon image, tried to find out where it came from but I can't find an apk either)
I know some applications:
os monitor is a good one though it doesn't accomplish my needs. (I can see the connections but there it stops)
Catlog doesn't make me any wiser
I hope someone know what I'm talking about and has this kind of application in reach.
TLDR: In need of an application install tracker that monitors which applications open a port for another application install (read malware)
I have the same issue with my phone.
When I clicked app info it turned out to be called trebuchet.
What type of phone do you have?
Yes exactly that's what I get too,
Jiayu S3
That is built into their os. It is made to reinstall if it detects it is Uninstalled. It's not an app that is doing it but the OEM of the device. It is known that many of the Chinese devices do this to counter the cheap prices of the device. Your only option would be to build an aosp based rom if you can.

I've got the same phone and the same issue started to appear recently. First the "recents" app, now the "coobrowser". The orginal Trebuchet icon is gone. Not sure if this is a virus or feature from JiaYu. How to tacke this without crafting my own ROM as mentioned?

Yeah I've managed to remove recents (since this was causing random ad popups)
I've got the exact same problem. Just want to know how to track it down
I can't see any other option than installing a different ROM, because the stock one is strange regarding security. For example every reboot resets "install apk from unknown sources " to YES, which is fishy. Bye bye stock rom, I liked it at the beginning but with these issues I am forced to switch.

I've just noticed they have published the official rom for android 5.1 http://www.needrom.com/download/17-09-android-5-1-for-the-jiayu-s3/
I decided to avoid the official ROM as the problems I experienced were with the previous official ROM. I went for the "rom-xtreme-rom-tf"
So far so good, but don't you try to uninstall the Google Now app from android 5, I was unable to boot doing so.
Hello all,
I have used my LeECo max 2 for about a month. In the beginning, before I updated to S17 from S14, I didn't have any problems with notifications. After the upgrade I have a serious problem with live notifications. Apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger, Skype, and more, might show messages immediately, with a short or long delay (min and sometimes hours), and not even show anything until I reopen the app. I made sure that the wanted apps have permission to run when the phone boots up and add them to the app protection list in the battery menu. I found out that S19 was just released a few days ago (leaked) and I had to try it to see if it solved the problem, which it didn't. I even tried to install 'heartbeat fixer' and 'notification fixer', which didn't really helped.
I really enjoy this phone, but I can't take it anymore. I can't get late email and messages, and I don't want to reopen the apps to make sure to not miss any important messages.
Did anyone had that problem and was able to solve it?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
same happened to me and i also spent way to much time trying to fix it, so I changed to cm13 rom

Hi,
I have an Umidigi S2 pro running their 'UMI OS C2.0' which is a badly modded Nougat. It has a bug where apps in the brackground are cleaned, even when they are in the protected apps whitelist settings>permission management>screen-off cleaning whitelist. The phone is not rooted and there seems to be no way to root it or any other ROMs available yet. Some apps will remain active in background but many will not, particularly Gmail.. which is 'cleaned' straight away, so you get no notifications.. very annoying. Otherwise its a great phone. Any advice on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
T.
Install the Basic ROM. That should resolve your issue. You don't need to root your phone for that.
Hi all,
I'm hesitating to unlock my bootloader so I can install Pixel Experience ROM.
The corresponding thread mentions what works, but what doesn't?
Additionally, can I still use my banking applications with unlocked BL and non-stock ROM?
You can still use your bank applications w/ an unlocked BL and any, if not all, non-stock ROMs. Used my banking apps on Pixel Experience no problem, same goes for Evolution X which I'm trying out right now.

So to be clear: the only thing I may not do, is to root it. That won't be an issue as I don't need a rooted.phone anyway.
I have a unlocked BL and rooted PE ROM and I can use my banking apps perfectly.
It depends on the detection methods employed by the apps.
I use Magisk with hide module along with Play Services permission trick.
Apps I use: ICICI , Kotak, Google Pay
I'm running rooted and they work without needing to do any workarounds. But since you're not rooting, you don't even need to worry about it.

Not worth it
1. Battery life worse then miui
2. If you plan to use smartwatch or any bluetooth connection device expect resseting the phone before using. Known bug. Random disconnects
3. Some laggs when playing games - mobile legends ..pubg et .
4. Worse wifi/radio signal by far
This are just few to mention. Based on my own extensive usage.
I am on miui and i will not be turning back. Rooted with vanced youtube and google cam
... Happy chappy

Thanks for the feedback. I'm already a while out of the custom rom scene (last time my sony phone was on Android 4.0...). Even at that time mostly battery life and connectivity issues were the most common ones.
Reason I want to potentially move to a custom rom, are the regular security updates when on aosp.

Poco got may 2019 security update....miui is not being neglected. Look its your call at the end of the day. Best of luck
There are pros and cons of using Pixel Experience or any other AOSP based custom ROMs for that matter. But since you have asked for the cons only, here are a few (according to me);
1. Battery life is not as good as MIUI.
2. IR face unlock. Although AOSP roms have google face unlock, it's noway as accurate and secure as MIUI face unlock.
3. While using custom ROMs, you will always feel like there is a gap in between hardware and software as if the ROMs are not using the full potential of the device and can't blend in with the hardware.
4. A lot of visual bugs here and there.
5. Charging speed gets slow even if you browse internet for 5-10 minutes whereas on MIUI, device gets charged fast even after an intensive game play for 30 minutes.
6. Let's face the truth. Even though a lot of users (including me) hate MIUI for ads and bloatwares, but deep down inside we all know that no AOSP based custom ROMs are as stable and reliable as MIUI, as of now.
That being said, if you have time, patience and data, I would suggest you to try out new things yourself rather than relying on other's feedback. Different people have different opinions.
