I have an android application where I will be required to provide support, I chose team viewer QS for this.
The problem -- user has to explicitly click on the "Allow connection" button inorder to start the remote support. Is there a way\hack with team viewer or with any other remote support applications where I can provide quick support without any user interaction.
Note-- the application is for a rooted device **
Thanks in advance !!
Can it be done? Yes. But the user has to set it up. Other then that stop and think about what you asked. No one is gonna install an app that allows another user full access to their device remotely. There is just to many security risks.

Hi,
I read many articles for Stock Android and Custom UI Android.
There are many Custom UI Android and MIUI is one of well-known Custom UI Android.
No doubt, MIUI provides more features and customization options.
And MIUI is good for those who wants more options and customizations in android phone.
These days, we do more financial transactions on android phones and we keep banking apps in android phones.
In terms of security and privacy of personal data and financial transactions, I would like to understand security and privacy threat with MIUI 10.
Please be kind to elaborate and clarify it.
Regards

There is definitely a privacy threat. Collecting user data seems to be a part of Xiaomi's business model.
One thing you can do is to disable as many of Xiaomi's apps as possible using ADB. Ad-blockers like blokada can also help.
As you all know, porn sites are a notorious haven of malvertising as it's suspected companies like MindGeek profiter off the crap at the expense of the userbase, and their ****ty apps are literal adware as THEY USE THE EXACT SAME ADVERTISING SYSTEMS.
As a solution, I was wondering if someone could make ad free versions of these apps like the ones pornhub and xvideos use, in order to protect users from this ****ing garbage, or at the very least suggest something that is safe that browses these ****ty sites and fetches content WITHOUT LOADING ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE VIDEO FILE ITSELF.
These companies do not deserve the ad revenue anyway, considering the scandals with mindgeek involving trafficker materials and cp, the suspected profiteering off malvertising, and the fact that mindgeek was caught promoting and defending terrorist ideologies and conspiracy theories.
NOTE TO MODS: I INTEND FOR THIS THREAD TO FULLY COMPLY WITH THE SITE RULES AS I AM NOT REQUESTING PORNOGRAPHY AND EXPECT ANY PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENT FROM SCREENSHOTS TO BE COMPLETELY CENSORED, the indirect political reference is just an example of mindgeek's ****ty behavior.

Using Kiwi Browser + uBlock extension (+ other privacy extensions as necessary) would accomplish most of what you want.

I should note I want an app because it would be more secure by virtue of not fetching any html.

Adguard requires premium for adblocking, what I am looking for is a way to safely fetch content from the site without loading html.
In a world where privacy is so exploited an app with this functionality would be very useful, there are many "spy apps", most of the time we need to copy some sensitive data through the clipboard, I heard news about the beta version of Android 12 with this functionality. But the verdict is: is there any way to develop an app of this category?

[CLOSED][APP][XPOSED][6.0+] XPrivacyLua - Android privacy manager [UNSUPPORTED]
XPrivacyLua Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy). Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data...
forum.xda-developers.com
Since M66B decided to discontinue support for XPrivacyLua and the official thread was closed I'm starting this unofficial thread to continue discussing the module.
It currently works up to android 13 with LSPosed.
Source code can be found at the author's github https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua
FAQ https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/FAQ.md
Please read the original thread as it contains a lot of useful information https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-android-privacy-manager-unsupported.3730663/
Disclaimer: I am not the developer of the module. I'm a long time user of XPrivacy/XPrivacyLua who wants to keep using it on future android versions. All credits for this module go to the developer and the people who made the custom hooks.
Best module to date
Thank you for creating new thread for XPL user.
is there a trick to get new apps automatically checked on lsposed? Otherwise, the option that new apps take all rights during installation does not work.

Not with LSPosed but according to this post you can do it with tasker. I think there's also an LSPosed fork that does it too.

There is, it's this LSPosed_mod.
I still haven't tried it myself though.

Hello and good morning, @VD171
I guess you need to address the OP @mythos_ with this question but as far as I understand it's about the Xposed module XPrivacyLua by @M66B and not about LSPosed. If my assumption is correct it's on the OP to decide if LSPosed related questions and contributions are off-topic (OT) or not. A moderator will never get involved to that unless a threadowner (and only the owner) reports something as OT.

The main focus should be on XPL but since LSPosed is needed to run XPL, I see nothing wrong with discussing it here.
QoL things like how to auto-add new apps to LSPosed are fine. Of course if people want a more in depth discussion (e.g. bugs, new features, etc.) they should post in the LSPosed threads as the developers don't read this.

According to github there is a whole bunch of people who forked it in the past month. How active they will be in the future and (more importantly) how much you can trust them is another issue.
when this project was abandoned by m66b did he opensource the "pro" app?
and is the code available now for free to be built from source?
or is there a link to the last version?
i hope someone keeps working on this, as privacy is more and more important the more stuff is kept on our phones.

(...) The pro companion app won't be open-sourced. If somebody wants to continue the project, (s)he can prove being a worthy developer by developing a new pro companion app, which can be done in at most a few days. As already offered, another developer can ask for the source code after a significant contribution to the source code as well.

I've already reported to @M66B about "MEW wallet" app which can't be restricted (tested on A10) to access camera (not sure is it was photo or video - app is handling QR codes) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...acy-manager-unsupported.3730663/post-87416749.
Now I've installed LineageOS 20 (A13) and noticed default Camera app (which is new "Aperture" Lineage app) also can't be restricted to BOTH video and photo (but microphone restriction works okay and result in recording video without sound).
Looks like there are some new API to be restricted… so, @M66B, maybe you can update XPrivacyLua a bit to fix this? Or at least give some hint for someone who might wanna fork it?

I've checked both Tasker methods to update LSPosed.
First one (UI automation) didn't work because there are no "LSPosed Manager" app (it's now started only as a widget, and I don't found a way in Tasker to start widget), so this unlikely can be fixed at all.
Second one (database editing) might work… but to me it looks unsafe: each time new app is installed it does kill `lspd` (LSPosed daemon, I suppose) after editing database for 1 second and then restarts it. I think this might result in allowing app apps to bypass XPrivacyLua restictions within that 1 second. No idea how to test this.
Also I've tried to replace original LSPosed with modified version https://github.com/mywalkb/LSPosed_mod - it works like a charm: installed as drop-in replacement over original one, keeps all configuration of original one after reboot and provide new UI to automatically add new apps to XPrivacyLua module! To me it looks like main and only actual way to continue using XPrivacyLua for now.

@M66B won't care with that.
You should do what you want by yourself or wait and hope to someone else release that.

"auto-add" is a waste of time.
LSPosed is developed for avoiding something like "all-add" or "auto-add".
Since you are talking about something that is contrary to the official release, LSPosed developers will never read and care to the thread.
