Xposed and Safety Net Pass -- How To!

XPOSED and Safety Net PASS -- Instructions How To

I've been using Xposed because it has functionality that I don't want to give up. But "regular" Xposed won't pass Safety Net.

Thanks to @drewcu, I now have found a way to use Xposed and PASS Safety Net.

This is important enough it deserves its own Guide thread. All credit goes to @drewcu -- and of course the edXposed devs! Go here and THANK this post. Full exchange is below, but please go thank @drewcu in that post.

Installed Magisk and edXposed and all is well.

Thanks!

First hearing about "edXposed". Quick Google search, sounds interesting, and some say it allows you to pass Safety Net, which regular Xposed (I use) doesn't. Is that true?

Which Magisk version are you installing with that?

drewcu said:
Latest Magisk 19.3.

YES, EdXposed absolutely passes Safetynet (both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity)! Install instructions here: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed but see below for the specific EdXposed version I recommend using.

I personally use magisk-EdXposed-sandhook-v0.4.0.1_beta-SNAPSHOT-release.zip found https://www.lanzous.com/b642738. Newer Sandhook versions with resource hooking like v0.4.1.2_beta and v0.4.2.3_alpha (and the YAHFA versions too) found https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases introduce some LAG for me that isn't present on 0.4.0.1. Haven't tried newer ALPHA versions like 0.4.3.7 but you are welcome to see if you experience the same lag. Would have to separately install both versions, start opening apps, clicking around, and counting time till the V30 responds to see the lag I am referring to. Is subtle but most noticeable in 0.4.1.2 and less so in 0.4.2.3.

The only Xposed module I use is GravityBox(O) and there is a version specifically for EdXposed -- 8.5.3.1-edxposed (https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/releases/tag/v8.5.3.1-edxposed_o), although I updated to general version 8.5.4 (https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v8-0-0-beta-1-tweak-box-t3739929) and have no resource hooking problems with 0.4.0.1 like I thought there might be and had with general version 8.5.3. If you use any OTHER Xposed modules that require resource hooking, you will need to use an EdXposed version 0.4.1.2 or above which has resource hooking but also possibly some lag (perhaps none in the latest alpha I don't know).

So I stay on magisk-EdXposed-sandhook-v0.4.0.1_beta-SNAPSHOT-release because it works with the latest version of GravityBox no problem, has 0 lag unlike newer versions (I think an Oreo problem), and passes Safetynet just fine.

Not sure if some of the steps I took after reading a forum about Safetynet were necessary but I did them anyway -- namely:
1) EdXP Settings - Enable Black/White List
2) Black List Google Play Services and Google Play Store
3) Magisk Hide - ALL of Google Play Services

Enjoy!

When I go to download the file, it's in, I assume, Chinese characters.
Any help.

Never mind, figured it out.

nnjimmy59 · Jun 10, 2019

This is great. I'm so happy to have Gravity Box again.

nnjimmy59 · Jun 10, 2019

I too had a problem with lag with newer versions of edxposed. I switched to the version recommend in the OP and all is well.

immns · Jun 10, 2019

If you comfortable using "chinese" app. Taichi is simpler solution (personally), although not much modules currently supported. Both edxposed and taichi are available on magisk repo

Thanks @ChazzMatt, finally got around to installing Xposed again. Thank god for GravityBox!

edit: after playing around for a day, I'm disabling edx. I'm getting lag, force closes, unresponsive back button, and major battery drain. Sad to see the framework hasn't changed much in 1-2 years. It's not worth it for a single Xposed module.

Gravitybox system framework not respondinhlg.
On us996k

Right. Didn't have riru-core module installed.

tech_infinity · Jun 17, 2019

Thanks a lot for this guide

. It's great to have xposed and safety net passing.

Lucien1997 · Aug 27, 2019

soo I tried to install edxposed sandhook (latest version), after a couple reboot, all went fine, but now I lost wifi and data connection (they cant be turned on), any ideas or fix? is it linked to that version of edxposed? I have a Lg ls998 converted to Us998h, thank you

Just wanted to share my experience with NFC banking and FullHD working Netflix. Managed to delete everything google and installed Microg only (to get Gcam to work), my banking app, Netflix app, Canary EdXposed and it works flawlessly! Could never get FullHD and NFC banking to work previously with Xposed. Of note was the fact I am running Xprivacy, too. Just make sure you blacklist the apps in EdXposed and also hide them in Magisk and it all works

Hope this helps others as it really made my NoGapps/Rooted stock phone experiences significantly better.

Great.

I'm having trouble getting EdXposed to activate. I'm on a fresh clean install of the TWRP flashable version of US998 30b with Magisk 20.1 installed and working, and while i've got the Riru - Core module installed (v19.5), no matter which Riru - Ed Xposed module I use I get the following error message from EdXposed Manager 4.5.2 explaining why it's installed but not activated:
There seems to be a known issue("Wrong base directory: /mnt/expand/7f941a12-b7aa-4d2a-a664-f89a46b7d86c/user_de/0/org.meowcat.edxposed.manager") with your ROM.

Suggestions on where I go from here?

Solution Found. My EdXposed Manager had been installed to External Storage. It only works on Internal Storage.

Safety Net Fail w/ Gravitybox

It looks like as soon as I enable the Gravitybox module that you recommend, safetynet fails. Are you still passing with your setup (I'm wondering if there has been some update that this version of Gravitybox no longer passes)?

UPDATE: even though safetynet shows up as failing in Magisk, I am still able to use Google Pay, so maybe it is working? I'll update this post once I've tried using Google Pay to pay for something.

UPDATE again: after a couple of days, Google Pay showed a pop up message saying that it would no longer work. Uninstalling and reinstalling gets it working temporarily again it seems.

Dear @ChazzMatt
Should I install the old beta in the last page or the latest canary to avoid safety net and which versions is the best?

john9965 · Mar 20, 2023

Note to everyone: installing xposed framework will trigger safetynet....and uninstalling it will do as well

And i don't know how to solve this except flashing a new rom
