[APP][1.1] AutoMagisk - Auto-disable Magisk's root when certain apps are running

[Quinny899]

Hey man, I'm not seeing it in Labs. Make sure you have at least 1 build enabled (both 1.0 and 1.1 builds are disabled). Every time you release a new version, you just need to upload a new build and the backend will point users towards whatever is versioned the highest for whatever release channel they subscribe to (alpha/beta/release).

Hope that helps!

Correct, it was disabled. AGAIN.

I swear every time I do something in Labs it disables the latest build

Hm that's not good and definitely not the intended user experience heh. I'll mention it to the backend guys and see if something is up.

Thanks. I'll try it in a very restrictive ROM (Flyme). Hope it works well.

I'm getting a crash on the LG G5 every time I open the dialer or contacts app. Could try and get a log of the crash to you if you think it could help in your investigations?

Potentially, it's something I could look into adding

I have apps that run in background that require root to work properly (like LightFlow). I would like root to be on at all times unless an app in the AutoMagisk-root-disable list is active (AndroidPay, PokemonGo, etc). If that is the case I would like root to stay disabled unless an app requiring root is brought to foreground or all apps in the root-disable list are closed(not just backgrounded).
The list of apps requiring root could be pulled from the root manager tool (like superuser, supersu, etc.)

Is this a potential option?

Found the same thing on my install.

Also, not sure if related, but I was in the grocery shop and started up Android pay to change cards. Automagisk turned off root as expected. But then the cell radio lost all connection for a while and when it returned, cellular data was dead. Could not add a card to reconfirm root in android pay without the data connection. Very odd circumstance.

If it eases your mind a bit, I've only been doing the add card trick once per reboot. I've been successful every time using Pay by just opening Android Pay to trigger Automagisk. Even turned Automagisk to keep root off when the screen is off and have made 1 or 2 transactions with Pay without issue.

Could you check into the issue with love live. The app checks for root before it's really launched so automagisk wont have deactivated root in time.

I can't speed up it disabling root, it's already as fast as I can do without a new method which I've not found yet. The only thing I can suggest is to use the Add Shortcut option in AutoMagisk and always launch Love Live! from the homescreen

As a side note thanks for confirming that Love Live! doesn't work with root/doesn't work with AutoMagisk, I'd been wondering why it's appeared in my analytics

Well rootcloak had a similar issue but there you just need to ignore the su command. I guess they use su to determine if there is a rootcloak is active?

AutoMagisk triggers Magisk to disable root entirely, leaving the system "untouched" to any checks, which is currently the only way to pass SafetyNet. If Love Live! uses SafetyNet, only this method and SUhide will work

Yeah the behavior is kinda strange:

No root (no root what so ever not even systemless), no xposed - yes
root (systemless), no xposed - no
root (systemless but deactvated), no xposed - no
root (systemless but deactvated), yes xposed - no
root (systemless), yes xposed and rootcloack w/o su filter - suddenly works

Edit:
systemless xposed of course.

Add to shortcut works.

Probably SafetyNet on start then

Thanks for your help. There is also fate grand order which doesnt work, but that one is really extreme anyways. It basicly freaks out as soon as it finds any file that could be related to rooting. As such you need a totaly clean Stock rom with systemless root.

Will this be compatible with the new Magisk v7? I think it's already being released! Check the threads!!!

Since root toggling is removed from v7, I'd say: no.

Yup. This kills the app.

I'll leave this thread and the app up for anyone who's running v6 and doesn't want to update but for now I'm locking it because I don't want similar rants in here about it being removed as in the main thread.

And as per my normal policy with my other apps that need old software to work, it won't get updated
