I am using a china k20 pro that has beennreflasked to the stock global mi 9t pro stock rom that I was running without magisk/root as I didn't really need it when I first changed over to global. Mi main banking app breaks if the phone is rooted, even if you use magisk hide.
I don't usually use Google pay but noticed that it would not work with the unlocked bootloader but it didn't bother me. ended up with the same CTS fail problem so I decided to install magisk and hoped that the banking app want broken any more. Unfortunately there are now a few more finance apps that can detect magisk than I had before.
In trying to solve my problem I have just discovered a work around solution that seems to solve the magisk root detect problem for any app, at least the few that I have tried it with. I have not tried it without magisk being installed but it may solve the unlocked bootloader problem for goat, netflix etc as well.
Miui comes with a feature called App Lock. A secure zone that can isolate an app behind a finger print, can hide notifications, can hide an app completely to make it secret.
If you lock the banking or payment app that is breaking because the phone has been rooted in the app locker, the app cannot see that the phone has magisk installed and works flawlessly. The only difference is that you now get asked for your fingerprint when you open the app and have an extra level of security. Probably something we should all use anyway.
For custom roms, the play store does have other app locker type programs available to install. They may allow you to solve the same problem and might be worth testing.
Does not work with YONO app please help.
You also need to use magisk hide and to change the name of the magisk app.
Those to steps usually work but for the HSBC banking apps at least the extra step using app lock fixes it
Magisk hide in the shield menu. Top option opens you lust of apps. Find you bank app in the list and tap the mane to open the drop-down sub apps then click the check box and ensure that all parts of the app get the enable toggle set on.
Airfreeze app might also solve your problem. Freeze magisk when it's not needed. Don't use yono or other app when unfrozen

In the latest cm13, or other decent updated android versions, we can not use the "hibernate and lock" widget to lock the phone, and wake up the device without input the password. This is NOT a bug from greenify, as Google decided it to be the intended behavior according to http://stackoverflow.com/a/37550254
The stackoverflow thread also mentioned if an app has root privilege, it can bypass this restriction by using PowerManager.goToSleep(0) instead of lockNow(). Nova launcher already used this trick and it works on my phone. Maybe greenify should also consider doing this for root mode?
I'd really love that functionality to work again, too.
Hi everyone, I'm using the Fidor banking app (com.fidor.fsw), and they have always been very restrictive on having a rooted device. Until the last update, repacking magisk and using magisk hide was able to bypass that. Their method of blocking root was just crashing the app on startup as soon as root was detected. A few days ago a new update came out, and the app won't open anymore. I uninstalled magisk, flashes a clean boot.img on my Pixel 2XL, reinstalled fidor and the app still won't open. Is there a way to debug why the app won't open?
Ah that might be the reason the app crashes on start.
[Lineage Oreo without Goolag Apps]
Unfortunately some features of them only work in that app.
I have reversing that app on my todo list to find out whats the problem there.
I advise you to close your account at fidor because they are hopelessly incompetent as a bank and API provider.
The left hand doesnt know what the right hand does and the head is somewhere in the clouds.
They cost me about 120€ now due to their inability to effectively communicate.
I am currently rooted and having issues hiding apps. I have often used app lock on the playstore to help me hide apps from my daughter as she shares the tablet with me but none seem to work even if I grant permissions. Can anyone recommend a good app I can use to hide apps and then use a password to access the app myself please?
Hi guys,
So I have a Galaxy S7e that was choking up until I bit the bullet and flashed the Note 7 FE ROM. Trying to finally start using Titanium again I rooted using Magisk. However my banking apps stopped working complaining about root..
I hid magisk and specifically hid it from the banking apps as well but no go.. Today I updated magisk to the latest version and noticed that 1 out of 2 worked again. What's surprising is I could not find the place in the new app where you could pick what app to hide root from anymore.
I seem to have read that in 2016 Magisk's dev said he would not do that anymore so I'm a bit confused.
Anyway would love to know if it's possible to hide again. The app is Juice by MCB (Maybe without spaces, available on apk-mirror as I think it's downloadable only from Mauritius)
Thanks!

It's a common misonception that people think "root" can be hidden. Even installation of Magisk now is detected by Safety Net. The cat-and-mouse game continues ...

Well like I said 1 of 2 of the apps that did not work due to root are now working so I guess there is some hiding going on.. the cat and mouse game feels quite rigged and MUCH slower than 'back in the days' sadly
Is there any way to hide the fact that developer mode is enabled from an app?
I'm simply trying to mirror my phone to my PC so i have all of it's functions available here. This is necessary and not something i can do without, because the charger port is broken so it can not charge unless put face down.
To do this however i need to have ADB enabled.
Some of the apps i use however throw a fit because developer options are enabled, even though i'm not doing anything with them.
What do i do?
-If i disable developer mode i can only move/use the phone when it's not charging.
-If i have developer mode enabled, i can't use some of the background apps i want to use all the time.
-If i hide system variables from the app using something like Xposed and rootcloak, it would break google pay.
A) Are there any other apps apart from xposed with the rootcloak module that can hide the developer mode?
B) Is there any way to get a screen and input mirror set up (preferably over IP or wirelessly) without ADB enabled?
So i guess it's impossible then?
It is asked a long time ago but to help other people in the same situation I found an Xposed app in Google Play.
The application is called [XPosed]DevOptsHide
You can download it directly from Google Play but in order for it to work you need to use Xposed or Lposed.
[XPosed]DevOptsHide (Hide deve - Apps on Google Play
Bypasses check of the apps which requires developer options disabled
play.google.com
It is working fine on the Lyf Banking (French) app (for enabling contactless payment) for me rooted with Magisk 25.2 Delta, Zygisk Enabled, and Lposed (Zygisk) on Pixel 7.
Hope it helps others.
Still working on my pixel 5 on the latest update of android 13. Thank you!
