Salutations. (That means 'Hello').
NOTE: For those who are interested, I will include background information about how I came to the solution. All that other jazz too. First and foremost however; the fix!
SOLUTION:
Right at the top of the post, you will find two links. This being a new account and all (don't ask), until I create 10 posts I cannot include any outside links. So once I've done so, I will update the post.
STEP **: So at the top of the post, there are clearly two links. 64-Bit Android devices are becoming increasingly common. This architecture may pose a few problems. give the application framework. Should you own a 64-Bit device, I recommend installing this application too (LINK 2). This will theoretically prevent any obstacles.
Pre-requisite(s): Make sure you have the 'Snapchat' application installed. It is recommended to have installed the latest update from the Google Play Store.
STEP ONE: Download the application appended to LINK 1. This is called Parallel Space. You might recognize the name (its creators are the same who allow you to seamlessly virtualize Windows OS on Mac OS).
STEP TWO: Launch the application.
STEP THREE: You should be prompted with a grid-like interface. Here you will be greeted with a range of familiar icons. In the top right corner of each icon, you will notice a blue check-mark. Make sure that there is one next to the 'Snapchat' icon. This will ensure that the app is 'cloned'.
STEP FOUR: In the 'Parallel Space' app, tap on the 'Snapchat' icon. This will launch the application.
STEP FIVE: From here it is pretty self-explanatory. You are greeted by the standard 'Snapchat' interface. Tap on 'Log In'. Then proceed to do so.
STEP SIX: 'Snapchat' should be functioning as normal.
STEP SEVEN (BONUS): During testing, this worked on and off. --
Remain logged-in to the 'cloned' 'Snapchat' application within the 'Parallel Space' application.
Then proceed to launch the stock 'Snapchat' application.
Next attempt to 'Log-In'.
Should this operation be successful, you are then free to uninstall 'Parallel Space' and any related assets from your device.
HOWEVER, I personally do not recommend this. When logging out or updating the 'Snapchat' application, errors may be re-encountered.
Instead, I recommend that if possible, do use the stock application, but leave 'Parallel Space' installed. Using the stock app will improve efficiency and reduce the load on system resources. But keeping the 'Parallel Space' application on the device, well; you get the point.
Enjoy the fix! If it does not work, please let me know [Device Name and Model No.]. I've tested on various devices, succeeded every-time. Do keep in mind that this is a loop-hole, so may be patched in future or not work at all for some devices.
Background (Because I know someone will ask): The idea came to mind while using a LG G5 as a daily driver. I had tested every custom ROM available for the device. The problem was that with custom ROM's, there was always an issue, Malfunctioning sensors, camera's not working persistently, etc , etc.
The G5's stock ROM left me wanting more. The overbearing interface made it a living hell. Plus, the device just being rooted (NO XPOSED) meant that 'Snapchat' did not work. I looked for fixes for a time, but could not find any.
Development of ROM's for the device is on-going, and I am an active member. But I just couldn't handle not being able to use the camera (one of the device's best features) and no accelerator, screen-rotation, etc. So I went back to stock again. Do keep in mind that I was alternating/dual-booting between custom and stock ROM's just because of the camera; mainly.
This most recent time. instead of flashing stock MM, I flashed stock N for the G5. For 850, it has been officially released in some countries, and a manual flash via TWRP was a peice of cake.
This update is a lot better. I am running Nova Launcher again. So it makes it look a little better. Themes have also been improved. I am using an in-built dark one which makes the device look a lot better aesthetically. Additionally, I'm rocking a white carbon-fibre skin on the exterior; improving grip and overall security. The only issue was again, no 'Snapchat'.
After a few days, I had the idea to attempt this. I tested my theory and it worked! That's it.
Please do keep in mind that I will update this post as often as possible.
P.S This was tested just after updating to the latest version of 'Snapchat' which was a significant update. It included Shazam, Groups, etc. So you know, pretty cool that it worked.
Did not work on Google Nexus 5 running Android 7.1.1. Still gives error message saying that I can't connect to the server.
Same here, not working on freshly reinstalled and rooted 7.1.1 Nexus 5x. No Xposed, no nothing. I get the infuriating "temporarily failed" message in both cloned and regular modes.

I'm pretty sure if you get Xposed framework, there's a module that allows you to hide root from apps. Problem is that there is no Xposed framework for Android 7 yet. Hope this helps.

I personally tried the module on cm13 but it doesnt work for me. I think that somehow snapchat knows when you use xposed too.
The thing is that on aosp roms with root already build in sometimes snapchat do not catch it but if you have xposed, no way you can get in. For that freaky snapchat app here is what i did: install any rom, if if had root build in i then install su uninstaller zip with twrp then log in into snapchat and after that, rooting with super su zip again. The catch is that once you log out of the app and attempt to log in again, you cant get in and you have to repeat the proccess. It's annoying as hell!!! They need to disable the security check, if people want to cheat che system somehow they will, so whats the point. Also there are much more tweaks for jailbroken iphones and they have no problem with it .
Sorry for the rant here buqt im super frustrated.

That's the only solution I've seen working so far. unroot and reroot. Root cloak doesn't work, parallel doesn't work. I should've logged in before rooting and I hate to do it again.
Any work arounds yet? I've seen ppl do it using titanium backup but I'm not sure if that works. Can anybody help?

Well todays your lucky day.
Step one turn off xposed.
Step two reboot
Step three sign into snapchat
Step four turn xposed back on
Step five reboot
You should be able to snap now.
Okay. I will try this on monday and will let youknow how it goes. Right now I decided to unroot to use snapchat, so I didn't loose my streaks. Thanks in advane will let you know how it goes.

Now that i think of it, when i uninstalled xposed it didn't work still. but after i "fully unrooted" through Super su and tried to sign in it worked. so it has to do with root or maybe both but the xposed didnt work for me. Thanks even though it didn't/wouldn't have worked for me!

Snapchat detects xposed framework.
Though at a time they did do root they since moved to blocking xposed due to the security concerns with money and also privacy of the user.
Though with certain phones and ect that could be the case I am using a s5 and have no issues.
just install magisk and systemless xposed and turn on magisk hide in magisk manager now snapchat won't detect root
then when u wanna log in just turn off xposed in xposed installer and reboot "it won't take time booting optimizing app when reactivated now" so reboot is easy
and u can have multiple accounts by backing up snapchat with titanium backup and don't ever log out just wibe its data and when u want to relog just restore the backup
and if u want to have multiple accounts access just patch the titanium backup with luckypatcher and have multiple backups (accounts)

make a nandroid backup if u want
1- full unroot by opening supersu and going to settings and press Full unroot and wait till it finishes and restart
2- download xposed uninstaller if u have xposed framework installed and flash it
3- install magisk manager from playstore
4- download and flash last magisk which is (12v) now from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
5- flash magisk v12.0 which you downloaded now your phone will have systemless root
6- go into magisk manager app and go to settings and toggle "Magisk Hide" (ON) and restart now your root is hidden
7- remove your current xposed app and install this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
8- flash systemless xposed : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
9- reboot and go to the xposed installer app and toggle the xposed off or on as you want when u restart it won't take time optimizing apps like before so fast now
your root is hidden now but xposed is not but you can disable it and enable it easily
Instead of using Parallel Space (which I believe to be insecure) use Island to clone your apps. It's a little more advanced to setup, but it's a lot more secure. It works for rooted and non-rooted devices. On the 1st page of the thread, it explains how Parallel Space and others repack the apk file locally, which is dangerous. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/closed-beta-test-incoming-companion-app-t3366295
Island never repack apk file locally, which is inherently insecure for users, since all your app data (including password input) are technically in the hand of MoboClean. (The same applies to other similar tools, e.g. LBE Parallel Space)
Instead, Island takes advantage of the underlying mechanism used by "Android for Work". This ensures that all your apps run natively in Android system and their data are securely stored in internal location of Android which is never accessible by Island. It has the same level of security as "Android for Work".

Be sure to read the disclaimer!!! The app is still only available in closed beta at the time of writing this, and could possibly cause you're device to bootloop or even possibly brick it, but root, xposed, or other modifications {in my opinion) has a higher chance of bootloops or bricking your device.
You follow the same steps in island to clone snapchat as you would in Parallel Space to login to snapchat. It might be possible to use the play store inside island to download snapchat inside island and login that way. I can't remember exactly how it works. I believe that island is a good way to test apps in a "sandbox environment" to keep the data excluded, safe and secure from the regular apps that you have installed outside of island.
I use Magisk now which bypasses SafetyNet which is what snapchat uses to "block access" to modified/rooted devices.
Probably the easiest method is to download Casper which is an alternative snapchat client that allows you to save snaps, and many other features that the official snapchat client can't do. Find Casper at www.casper.io
FYI Netflix has started to change how they do things as well by hiding the app's play store page from devices that have been modified or rooted, but it's still possible to simply sideload Netflix for now.
Hi everyone,
I am using the application Raiffeisen Twint (version 1.2.16.0, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.raiffeisen.twint) on my Magisk's rooted Google Pixel (Android 8.0, Nov. 2017) without problems for a while, but since Magisk 14 versions, the application stopped working and the application reports that root is detected.
I have successfully updated to Magisk 14.5 (from 14.2), but root is still detected by the application, even with Magisk Hide activated for the application and the Magisk Manager package moved to a random name (could also be related to the updated application).
I have cleared the data of the application several times and it doesn't help and root is still detected by the application...
Anyone has a idea?
Thanks for your answers!
Like I said in the Magisk support thread, I can hide Magisk from that app just fine (on Magisk v14.5 beta)...
You don't happen to have any other mods that might trigger an app looking for root (like Xposed)? Can your device pass SafetyNet? Have you previously been rooted with any other root method and do you have any remnants of that left (root management apps, etc)? Do you have any apps that are known to be used for questionable purposes. By "questionable purposes" I mean getting access to paid features without paying, etc. Not necessarily that you use the app for this, but that the app might be used in such a manner... Etc, etc, etc. Every little detail might count.
Hi Didgeridoohan,
Thanks for helping me!
I do not have any mods installed in Magisk and also no Xposed. My device is passing SafetyNet!
I have performed a factory reset last week and since that I only rooted my device with Magisk 14.2, so no other rooting applications used. For details, I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery installed and developer options and USB debugging activated.
My settings in Magisk are:
I have following applications installed on my device:
https://pastebin.com/pmt4jBMV
Do you see any applications with "questionable purpose"?
I get this message in the application:
Thanks a lot!
At a quick glance everything looks ok...
I did some experimenting with the other Raiffeisen apps you have installed, in case they also detect root and "tell" on you. At least one of them did detect root, but from what I could see it didn't make any difference for Twint.
I also tested installing a few of the root apps you had installed (in case the app looks for certain known apps), but that didn't make any difference either. I could still successfully hide root.
My guess is that it's something along these lines tough. That it's using another app or detecting a root app. You could start experimenting with that. Clearing data for the other Raiffeisen apps and adding them to MagiskHide and also removing root apps. Try disabling USB debugging and developer options as well (didn't make difference for me, but worth a shot).
Simple. Change name of package from settings in Magisk Manager, then MAKE SURE you add twint app to magisk hide list, then ERASE DATA of twint app, change package name once again and run twint. Working with Magisk 14.5. Screens if u want available. Or video.
Hi Didgeridoohan, Hi Mamama07,
Thanks for your help, but sadly none of your suggestions did worked... until the update of the application released yesterday, to fix problem related to rooted devices! [emoji3]
Thanks anyway again for your help! [emoji106]
I had the same problem (with BCV Twint) and after a few tries, changing Magisk Package Name worked!
I'm on Ressurection Remix Mod, which comes with Magisk installed by default. It was working just fine before, but recently I've noticed it may have caused issues with battery drain. So I decided to remove Magisk - I ran magisk-uninstaller, which removed Magisk itself but the MagiskManager stayed. As I don't have su/root now I can't use Titanium Backup to remove it.
I was under the impression, that magisk-uninstaller should remove the manager as well.
How should I remove the manager altogether?

If the ROM creator has included the Manager as a system app (which is just stupid), the uninstall script can't remove it... You'll have to do it manually, either by re-rooting or from recovery.
I'm not sure if it's included as system app (seems so, can't uninstall, only 'disable'). I've tried running 'full uninstall' from Magisk Manager witout success.
Can I install SuperSU as root to remove Magisk Manager? Or will there be any conflict?

If you only have the option to disable the app, it's installed as a system app (why, oh why :crying. There's nothing the Manager or Magisk uninstall zip can do about that.
If you've uninstalled Magisk otherwise (you've run the uninstall zip), there shouldn't be any conflict with another root solution. The Manager is only that, a manager for root and modules.
So, installing SuperSu and then uninstalling Manager with TitaniumBackup will eliminate it completely - correct?
Bonus questions:
* why is it a bad idea to install manager as a system app (vide your comment)?
* is it possible to only install MagiskSU (and have the superuser/su/root) without whole Magisk (I don't need modules and it seems that Magisk Manager is draining my battery - lot's of screen wakelock - totalling in 1h30m in 2h45m total time according to wakelock detector, however screen seems to be off)
Magisk is a systemless interface... Having any part of it installed to /system just grinds my gears. :laugh:
But, it's not only that, of course. The feature to hide the Manager is completely nonfunctional if the Manager is a system app and there are possibly other issues... It's perfectly possible that your issue with battery draining is caused by it. I don't even see the Manager on any battery usage list, and I've been using my device quite heavy today.
If you don't want modules and that part of Magisk, you can enable Core Only Mode, but you'll still needed the Manager for managing superuser requests.
Well, what you say about /system and being system-less totally makes sense now!
As for battery drain - calculation done by Android are weird quite often, but on the clean system it popped right at the top with the screen wakelock…
As for "Core mode" - I'm wondering what was causing the wakelocks - unfortunately I don't have currently screenshot with MagiskManager extended in WLD, which would show the information, but there were only 5 screen wakelocks. At any rate - given that the Manager itself was listed as the cause for the wakelocks (https://www.dropbox.com/s/aj0e6hj77cfwyw6/WLD_magisk.png?dl=0) I'm kinda reluctant to install it again.
It's quite possible that there is different culprit that drains my battery but I'm currently running quite bare-bone (even no gapps and I'm using NewPipe instead of YouTube application )
All I can say is that the Manager causing that kind of wakelock is very wrong. Possibly caused by having it installed as a system app (wild guess). I'd try with removing the system installed Manager and try again with a proper, clean install.
Went with superSu for the time being and will observer how it goes.
Oh fun:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6aidw5czlrzpo93/WLD_supersu.png?dl=0
I'm... confused...
You could have some app spamming su requests. Check the superuser requests log.
After I posted I had similar though and the registry was spammed with ForceDoze every couple of minutes... so I guess instead of helping it was doing disservice Will see how it goes in the long run.
I'm at my wits end trying to get Magisk back!
(The backstory is that I had been running a DirtyUnicorns OS for a year just fine, but then Pokemon Go started failing to login. So it was time to update.)
Using a Samsung Tab 4 (SM-T330NU)
Formatted and installed stock OS/boot
Used Odin to flash "twrp-3.0.0-3"
Used TWRP recovery to update to "twrp-3.3.1-0"
Installed "Lineage OS 17" (and added Gapps) - made sure it booted and all was well
Booted into TWRP recovery and installed the latest "Magisk-v20.4"
Wiped cache and rebooted
Installed the latest "MagiskManager-v7.5.1" and got "Magisk is not installed"
After a great deal of searching I learned how this is supposed to be corrected:
Took the boot.img from the Lineage OS 17 zip,
Used Magisk to patch it, creating "magisk_patched.img"
Used TWRP recovery to install "magisk_patched.img" to the boot section
Wiped cache and rebooted
Still getting "Magisk is not installed"
Booted into TWRP recovery and installed the latest "Magisk-v20.4" just in case
Still getting "Magisk is not installed"
This is all after roadblocks for hours a day for a week trying to pass safetynet using Magisk on Lineage OS 16 for about a week, so I thought this fresh start would be easier and now I'm pulling my hair out.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I just want to be able pass safetynet and my ctsProfile match fails. Which I can't even begin to work on without Magisk core.
Thanks in advance.
First thing I would check is if the Manager is installed to external/adoptable storage. The Manager can't work properly like that...

Thanks for the quick reply!
How do I check to see where it's installed and/or reinstall it to the proper storage? Because that could be it.
There's no SD card or USB device plugged in and I couldn't find more information online (I even scoured didgeridoohan.com before posting here).
Also, and this may be helpful, it appears the device is not rooted. Fx file explorer and root checker apps confirm this. So it's possible even with the steps I followed that Magisk core really isn't installed and the apk is telling the truth (I'm just at a loss to know how that's possible after flashing the zip and flashing the patched boot file, both in twrp).
If you have no SD card installed adoptable storage won't be an issue.
You can easily verify through TWRP if the core Magisk files have been installed. Check in /data/adb/magisk. It should contain busybox, magisk, magiskboot and magiskinit binaries, together with addon.d, boot_patch and util_functions scripts.
Seeing the recovery log from when you attempt to install the Magisk zip in TWRP might show us something. Also try the could also be a good idea trying the Canary release to see if there's any difference from stable v20.4.
(This thread can be locked/(closed?)/answered)
I tried my damnedest and nothing worked. So I wiped/formatted lineage-17.1-20200512 and installed lineage-17.1-20200419. THIS was the ease with which I was accustomed to installing Magisk (Recovery install and immediately working on boot). Sadly, other problems abound and they are outside the scope of this subforum.
Just in case anyone reads this and cares:
- GPS Joystick was a no-go because apparently Lineage has a not-so-nifty feature that blocks the "draw over apps" android feature if your RAM is below some secret threashhold, which prevents the entire app from functioning.
- Fake GPS can take getting used to, and I'm used to it and love it, but the location and routing keeps crashing in the background, which means pogo closes when I tab back to start it back up again.
- Regardless of which I use I am rubberbanding back to my house... despite using all the tricks I can find or think of (yes, including 'smali patcher', specific app settings, systemizing the GPS app, setting off/on mock locations, etc)... but I think it's because this OS has no unique setting for the GPS data to be "device only".
Problems one and two are due to the ****ty ram on this Samsung tablet, which I've always known was an issue, so I suppose it might just be time to buy a phone specifically for this purpose. From what I read, the best cost effective option is an iPhone SE, and I'm truly not an Apple fan (I certainly would not risk my own phone being bricked or even merely wiped).
Not sure how I used it for the last year without this many issues, but it seems like that's over now unless I want to deal with DirtyUnicorn OS again, and that was it's own nightmare sometimes.
Thanks all for reading, but especially Didgeridoohan for replying and for all the resources on your pages and threads.
Hi. I recently updated my Moto G5s Plus(Sanders) from Android 10 to Android 11(PixelExperience). I used Magisk v21 while installation and everything worked fine. Then I installed the the v22 update through the app. However after downloading and opening the new Magisk, it shows that Magisk isn't installed and that there are updates for both Magisk and Magisk manager. Upon clicking install for manager, nothing happens, no downloading or anything. But on clicking for Magisk, it shows a select and patch method, which I don't know what to do with .
Attaching screenshot below.
Did you by any chance have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name before updating? When moving to v22+ from older releases you need to do that with the app unhidden.
If you did have the app hidden before updating you might now have two apps installed, but you should be able to fix that by uninstalling both and installing the v22.1 apk again manually.

Oh my, I actually did have it hidden. I just noticed the dual apps( I think I didn't notice it before because the second one had the default android logo icon) l. Much thanks for the help
