LSPosed Xposed Framework [8.1-13.0]. Simple Magisk Module

[papafan]

Taken from the changelog:

Cheers

I disabled it in manager settings. I disabled it in phone settings too. But the notification is here again, specially if for any reason the system ui restarts. What can I do except for to downgrade in 1.8.5 version? Does anyone know?

 

[droidmate]

Maybe flash uninstall magisk module via twrp? I guess lsposed doesn't function then anymore. And then deactivate your lsposed module and insrall magisk again?

Just deleted the lsoped module files through TWRP; then installed lspoed again through magisk. All lsposed modules were there, in deactivated state.

I created a shortcut on my home screen but the persistent notification still shows up. What gives?

I created a shortcut on my home screen but the persistent notification still shows up. What gives?

I get the opposite behavior: no persistent notification ever appears, even when there is no shortcut on the HOME screen. And in fact, my lsposed instance won't even let me create a shortcut.

In my case, I'm running Android-11 (crDroid-v.725) on a Pixel 5, and I'm running the riru version of lsposed 1.8.6 . It all is working well. I just am having to invoke the lsposed manager by means of the USSD dialer sequence.

And what happens when you deinstall lsposed and then install it again

Nothing changes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled lsposed twice, and the behavior has continued.

Strange. My phone (Galaxy S22 ultra) is running Android 13 and Zygisk version of magisk/lsposed. Maybe try zygisk

Thank you very much.

However. I'm using Magisk 23.0 on my A11 device, and I'm studiously avoiding any newer version of Magisk and any newer version of Android. I don't believe that Zygisk works with Magisk 23.0.

This allows me to still use TWRP for nandroid backups, and it allows me to avoid the complicated, headache-producing craziness of trying to get newer versions of Magisk to work and to hide root.

If necessary, I'm willing to live with needing to use the USSD-code method for getting into the lsposed manager, because the rest of my Android experience is simpler to deal with than with the use of these newer software modules.

Also, I have used Tasker and AutoInput to create an app which, when I launch it, opens up my dialer, sends the USSD code, and then invokes the "Call" button. So, I can still get into the lsposed manager with one single click.

And lsposed works fine for me.

If some day it becomes less onerous to try to get newer versions of Magisk to work under newer versions of Android, then I might eventually upgrade. At that point, I'd be willing to try Zygisk or any other similar utilities that might end up being available.

okay, that's clear then. I don't have these problems cause I've the luxury of using a custom rom with magisk and twrp already included

Just out of curiosity, which custom ROM are you using? Perhaps I could switch to it on my device (Pixel 5).

LSPosed doesn't have a manager app nomore.
LSPosed now has a parasitic manager.
Open dialer and type: *#*#LSPOSED#*#* (*#*#5776733#*#*) it will launch the parasitic manager.
Now, go to settings and CREATE THE SHORTCUT of the parasitic manager.

I am really quite confused about this strange "parasitic manager" thing... I installed LsPosed and I have an icon in my app drawer which seems to be the LsPosed manager app. If this is NOT the "parasitic" manager and if LsPost doesn't have a manager app nomore, then what is this app in my app drawer? And how is it different from the "parasitic" manager? Thanks!

It *is* the parasitic manager. There are 3 possible ways to get to the parasitic manager ...

(1) By means of entering the following USSD code in the dialer: *#*#5776733#*#* and selecting "Call".

(2) By means of clicking on a permanent notification that is sent by newer versions of lsposed.

(3) By means of clicking on the shortcut that you are describing.

See below for more details about how this works. All three of these are considered "parasitic", because they are extra, non-standard software that has been injected into your device in a way that makes it difficult for root-detecting software to see them. That's sort of like a parasite which invades a living organism, which is why that name was chosen. Invoking this "parasitic" module in any of these three ways will bring up the lsposed manager.

More details:

Only in newer versions of lsposed will you be able to see that permanent notification. And on some devices (mine included: a Pixel 5 running crDroid-v7.25), you won't see the permanent notification at all, no matter which version of lsposed is running. This seems to be a bug.

Also, in these newer versions of lsposed (those without that bug), you will see either the permanent notification (item 2) or the shortcut (item 3), but not both. In the lsposed settings, you can choose between one or the other.

Those lsposed settings are available in the lsposed manager.

As far as I know, the USSD code method (item 1) works in all cases.

Thanks so much! That goes a long way for me. I can understand that some root detection mechanisms might see the app installed and go, yep, that device is rooted. So I can see the value, in that case, of doing all this (presuming the Magisk hiding stuff is working too). And I can see now how "parasitic" has some meaning in this context.

Can I ask what is the LsPosed app/icon I see in my app drawer? Is it the same as the "parasitic" manager? Or is it different somehow? I don't go into the LsPosed manager very often so I have just ignored the prompts about shortcuts and such. Doing this prevented me from being able to turn off the new notification - the switch control was disabled. Finally, in frustration, I just answered the prompt NEVER and then I could turn off the new notification - which is what brought me to all of this.

Thanks once again!

That icon is one of the three methods offered for accessing the parasitic manager. Read my previous message again. It's item #3.

And it's the item I described which is either present or absent in newer versions of lsposed, depending upon whether you are seeing the permanent notification that I also described.

In other words, in these newer versions of lsposed, you will either see ...
(A) that icon
(B) a permanent notification
... but not both.

And the choice between (A) and (B) is made by the user in the lsposed settings. If you choose (A), you won't have (B). If you choose (B), you won't have (A).

Sorry for being so dense. I generally do not think of items in the app drawer as shortcut - only those on the home screens.

So I see there are 3 ways to open the "parasitic" manager - including how I do it. I can also drag the app's icon off the add drawer and deposit it on a home screen page. So there is a 4th way to do it (kind of). What is not clear to me is why all the hubub about needing multiple ways to get at it? As you describe it, this is "parasitic" and hidden from root detectors. Yet from what I can tell, it is simply another app from Play Store.

Again, sorry for being so dense...

No apology necessary! This stuff involving rooting Android devices has gotten painfully complicated these days.,

Your "4th way" of moving the app icon is not "parasitic". That's the actual lsposed app itself, and that's the one which is detectable by many root-checkers. The idea is to delete that app so that it's not found by those root-checkers, and then use one of the "parasitic" versions which are more hidden from the "anti-root police", because of their being parasitic in the first place.

I'm not sure why the lsposed people came up with 3 ways to access the parasitic manager. I think that many users think that the USSD method is too bothersome, and so perhaps that's why the lsposed developers originally came up with the "shortcut icon" as an alternative way to bring up the parasitic manager. And I don't have a clue as to why they decided to later come up with the permanent notification alternative. I've read a number of complaints from some people who find this permanent notification to be a nuisance.

Ah, thanks. Remove the downloaded LsPosed app and then use the "parasitic" one. That's the missing piece (now that you have explained things). Thanks very much!
