I'm wondering if there are any ways to prevent an app from detecting overlays. This is a nuisance because I have multiple apps with overlays enabled yet some apps' functionalities refuse to work because the app detects an overlay (eg. Chrome site permissions, Play Store). I'd rather not have to go and manually disable then re-enable the overlays just to give Chrome permission for a site to access my location for example.
Besides, I find it intrusive that an app can detect and dictate what I do based on what unrelated apps I'm choosing to use.
I've already tried the "Hide My Applist" Xposed module without any success.
So, are there any ways to block apps from detecting overlays? Device is rooted. Magisk modules? Xposed? Scripts?
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
I don't understand what the note 'Not for use by third-party applications. ' in the permissions description ( developer.android.com/intl/ru/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#FACTORY_TEST ) really means. What I thought first is that apps in Google Play Store shouldn't require these permissions and that such permissions are only for use by system preinstalled apps. But there are lots of apps in Google Play which use such permissions. For example, this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ImaginationUnlimited.instaframe requires android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS which is not for use by third-party apps.
So, could anyone explain which applications are allowed to require permissions marked with 'Not for use by third-party applications. '?
Hi everyone,
I'm asking if there is any app can detect the ads source in the phone
, because some times we keep installing apps then we discover there is a lot of ads and we don't know which app causing these ads.
What do you mean?
If the ad is inside your app, then the answer is obvious.
If the ad is a notification, long press on the notification and get application information.
If the ad is an overlay or anything non-standard, I first suggest better selecting what you install... You may get some help by listing running task from the application manager.
Also, the MinMinGuard xposed module can also tell you about the ad networks used by each app as long as they are known (and block them).

There is some APK's downloads by it self when ever i open the browser. and don't know how can i block them
Do you try adaway?
Do you have install exposed? If yes then find adblocker 1.4 on exposed it will help you to block annoying ads.
I use min min guard. It's an xposed module and does a great job. Set it to auto and forget about it
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!
Is there any way to update /etc/hosts without root on SM-A526UZKDXAA?
I tried the old way of going through ADB from a Windows PC to transfer the file but permission is denied.
Ideally I'd be rooted (as I do with all my devices) but there isn't a mainstream way available yet to root or unlock the bootloader on the US market A52 5G.
I am not sure you can change it without root, but you do can use the vpn method. There are apks that are able to use VPN to change the host and/or the DNS. "Host to go" is an example of an app that is able to do that.
Yeah, i've been using Blokada for the past few days

Thanks. Yeah, i've been using Blokada for the past few days but it would be more ideal to be able to modify the local /etc/hosts file so there's no VPN process running all the time and wasting CPU cycles and also possibly compromising the integrity of my data by completely entrusting it to a 3rd party app.
Lets try something. There are apps that can give you the option to use some xposed modules without root. I wouldn't recommend using VirtualXposed because of the way it works, it makes a virtual space that has the ability to use xposed modules, pretty uncomfortable. I suggest you to try SPatch to give the xposed apps the ability to work. Unfortunately , those methods of using xposed without root don't work for everything, some apps requires root to work properly, but some will only need xposed itself to work. Try using SPatch with a module that has the ability to change the host file, for example "Unbelovedhosts". If it doesn't work, I am afraid that all you can do is to use a third party app, there is a really good app that can change the host file through vpn, it is extremely simple with just a simple switch to activate and deactivate and option to choose your host file, no ads, nothing, simple and easy to use, I don't think it will hog your cpu usage or ram.

it's not possible to modify system with apps like SPatch. Just use Adguard or Blokada
So I have APKure on my phone.
I regularly swiped the play Protect message wanting it to uninstall APKure.
I got annoyed so I disabled Play Protect.
I still got that annoying pop-up saying "hey I'm here, uninstall that app"
This drives me nuts !
How can I get rid of play Protect or create some exceptions to get rid of these popups?
Thx a lot
In your settings you can turn off play protect
Like this ?
Still getting that message ...
In this case, just delete google play store from your phone if you are deciding to stick with apkpure
Try clearing app and system cache.
Package Disable Playstore or firewall block it.
Playstore is a parasite, I rarely use it...

None of these two. I mean delete delete it, not disabling it, since if you are gonna use apkpure instead of google play store then there is no need for it to interrupt your installations and etc.
Delete it using ADB Appcontrol. Package name: com.android.vending (google play store)

Not necessary to uninstall it. Occasionally you may want to use Playwhore.
Side loading is the best way to get malware or worse. Scan all side loads with online Virustotal before installing and reject any download if there's the slightest question of its integrity. Do not allow apps to update unless completely vetted and trusted like Malwarebytes. Most apps don't need to update. Firewall block all apps that don't need internet access to perform their core function. Most apps don't need internet access.

If you wanna disable then do that, otherwise what I would do is to delete it since I know where I get my apps safe and etc. Just more peace for me

I use Package Disabler and Karma Firewall so it's easier to just pull the plugs on Playstore.
I use ApkExport to save my apps so Playstore isn't needed on a reload.
Any app install carries risks unless fully vetted. Playstore has been breached multiple times in different ways, other sites carry similar risks. Best to avoid new downloads whenever possible.
This one of the reasons the current load on this N10+ will be 3 yo in June. Still fast and very stable. No firmware upgrades or updates in over 3 years.
That app is a cancer. Use APK Mirror or use official sources. If you need an XAPK installer, there are plenty on the Play Store that are much more trustworthy. There was even a malware distributed with the official APKPure app before.
APKPure is not safe, distributes Trojans
The APKPure app store for Android has been infected by a malicious module that downloads Trojans to users’ devices.
