/* Intro */

Have you ever wondered whether or not you could continue to use certain apps/features in your 0x1'd Samsung device? Now you can, and without any system modifications/custom ROMs. KnoxPatch makes use of the Xposed API's to patch system API's on-the-fly and bypass the "security policy" of those interested apps. This module is backward compatible back to One UI 1.0 and supports most of the apps currently imposing those limitations.

Any form of contribution, suggestions, bug report or feature request for the project will be welcome.

/* Supported Android versions */

• Android 9 (One UI 1.x)
• Android 10 (One UI 2.x)
• Android 11 (One UI 3.x)
• Android 12 (One UI 4.x)
• Android 12L (One UI 4.1.1)
• Android 13 (One UI 5.x)

/* Supported apps */

• Galaxy Wearable (Gear Manager) (Enhancer required)
• Samsung Flow
• Samsung Health
• Samsung Health Monitor
• Secure Folder *
• Secure Wi-Fi
• Smart View (Enhancer required)
• Private Share
• Samsung Pass
• Samsung Wallet (Pay)

* Secure Folder might not work properly on devices with One UI 3.x and encrypted data partition.

/* How to install? */

Before proceeding, make sure your device has Magisk installed and working.

- Open the Magisk Manager app and enable "Zygisk" in its Settings page (top right menu button).
- Download the latest LSPosed "zygisk-release" zip
- Install LSPosed by selecting the zip you downloaded in the "Modules" tab inside the Magisk Manager app, then reboot your phone.
- With LSPosed installed, download and install the latest KnoxPatch apk like you would install a normal app.
- Open the LSPosed Manager app from your quick panel notifications and enable the KnoxPatch module in the "Modules" tab, leave the selected applications list as it is.
- Reboot your phone and enjoy!

OPTIONAL: Download and install the KnoxPatch Enhancer zip file via the Magisk Manager app "Modules" tab, this additional module will take care of features that can't be patched alone via the Xposed API's such as the Galaxy Wearable apps. An "Enhanced" badge can be seen in the app info page to confirm the Enhancer module is installed correctly:

S23 users might want to install this test build since the latest version at time of writing (v0.3.6) doesn't supports One UI 5.1. Support for One UI 5.1 has been added in v0.4.0.

Unfortunately I don't have an A10 device at hand so I have to ask you to send over some more debug infos (system logs, module logs, a screenshot of the module info page)

Why are you trying a module that wasn't even posted in your device forum and clearly is for a device that's *four* major versions ahead of your own? That's just asking for problems. Not to mention the OP says it supports Android 10 and up.

Because i was asked out to try it on Android 9 from @BlackMesa123

Gotcha. Well I didn't see any public discussion in this thread about that so it was a logical assumption on my part

Current version (v0.3.6) and upstream still has 0 support for Android 9. Please wait for newer test builds.

v0.4.0 released with One UI 5.1 support and additional support for legacy One UI versions (One UI 1.x/2.x). Big thanks to @TMW1996 for testing it out. @otonieru give this new version a try when possible.

What does this enable in Galaxy Wearable? I don't have any issues with the app today even though I'm rooted with knox disabled. And what does enhancer do - is it a magisk module?

As explained in OP, the Enhancer is a Magisk module that will take care of those features that can't be patched alone via the Xposed API's (the main module), at the moment it only fixes the Galaxy Wearable apps (you can't pair your watch normally with a rooted phone). All the other listed apps are patched via the main LSPosed module.

thanks. that's really strange, as I had no problems pairing my watch with my rooted phone

It depends whether or not your phone has a custom ROM/custom script that disables the Samsung security module that blocks the wear devices pairing (WSM), your phone could also not have that service at all depending if it's a low/mid end one

If you have W4/W5 then you may not have this issue, fix needs for older watch S3 and previous
