Hi! Great app, thanks!

Can I submit a feature request? It'd be nice to be able to just download a module for future purposes. For me it's often the case that I don't need to install the module right now, and some modules don't need to be installed at all except for some special cases (like TWRP Retention Script one).

FoxMmm-0.2.9 issue.
I have observed update for LSPposed two times already and each time I cannot install it inside Manager:

The issue is described here: Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/AFWall-Boot-AntiLeak#2

Any comments on this? Is it MM issue or repo issue?
Please be so kind to get involved.

When I search for binaries or binary I enter "binar".
As a result I only see "Cross Compiled Binaries".
"Nano for Android SDK", "ADB & Fastboot for Android NDK" and others that contain "binaries" in the description are missing.
So I thought Fmmm only searches in the names, not the descriptions.
But when I enter "audio" I see "AirMusic - stream you music!" in the results (the search term is not in the name but in the description) but not "USB Samplerate Unlocker" which also has "audio" in the description.

So I don't understand where the Fmmm is looking for the search term. I would like Fmm to search for the search term in both the name and the description as Magisk Manager 23.0 does.

I updated the module Riru - Clipboard Whitelist from Github to v13. The last version in Magisks repo is v11.
After reboot Magisk Manager shows the new version number, FMMM still shows v11.

AFAIK, this website is constantly being updated and is active to be added as a repo.

I'm planning to add a config system for those who don't want to worry about making an UI or don't want to add an APK to the system.

I want feedback from developers for what they want, .xml files, shell communication, WebView, or apk wrapping.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Please note that I might implement multiple suggestions, as suggestions are not exclusive.

The only requirement is that module developers include a reference to this in their module.prop, config entry.

Recommendations first:

1. Remove their repo.
2. Remove their ability to display ads on your app.
3. Remove the convoluted way of installing modules from them (i.e. webview and timers).
4. Make the user opt-in to them, not opt-out.

Fox, I don't get it at all. I have been reading the issues posted here and as a common user I'm annoyed by several things. First of all: you are the dev of the app, you don't monetize or serve ads, why would you allow someone else to? I feel good about the fact that you don't want to be stringent with the criteria to add repos to your app in order for the community to grow.

But at this point then you should just allow the user to add whatever repo they want rather than policing it if you will end up allowing such a shady deal to happen. What do I mean by shady deal? Read the other posts and you allowed them to make "requests" to be added to your repo lists like no Patreon modules (first of all, what? They aren't even module developers as per 73sindey closed issue), by linking to them (even though they are a scraping website and most modules they host come from xda o magisk official repo), by allowing them to show ads, timers, and to make the 1 click update process of both the original magisk and your app tedious.

So from mild to harsh:
Make them opt-in if they are going to stay. They are a hassle, and shady. (4)
They clearly stated that they scrap and authors can't opt-out (specially using the license the author posted their work in a disingenuous way of getting their way). So how can they request of you, or anyone to go through their timers to download. From the app it should be direct link to download or nothing, you are giving them exposure... They can't ask for anything else. (3)
I have host based ad blocking, but what is this:


If it looks so crappy on my device, I can't imagine a normal user. Does that look like a nice user experience when the rest of the app is so different? I feel I download a version of your app that was injected with adware and malware. So remove their ability to place ads when you don't do it yourself. (2)

I think 2, 3 and 4 should all be mandatory. In theory they are opting into your repo, so why you give them cake? You don't need them, and most users also don't need them as they are toxic by other people stories about them banning users on telegram and they are just reposting xda dev work anyway... If I go to xda and sign in to download the author work, I have wasted less time than using their repo.

Finally, why would you need to fix their shady practices when they didn't even have a modules.json 20 days ago for you to work with? If 2,3 and 4 can't be done... Why waste time on it when you have an app to improve? Just remove them.

There are 2 Magisk modules: CloudflareDNS4Magisk and CloudflareDNS4Magisk IPv6. Your manager considers them to be one module and tries to update the older one by the newer version of another. It seems to me this issue emerged in the version 0.3.0.

Both modules' folders from /data/adb/modules/ are attached
CF-DNS.zip

Curl is accessible via user terminal but not su.

Browsing ChArch repo the zip is in a different location than specified in the modules.json and readme.md is missing.

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/charch/releases/download/charch-v1.0/charch-magisk-module.zip is where it's located.

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/charch/archive/master.zip is specified in modules.json

i think it would be better if we could click on module and see its info, screenshots (like it has ios jailbreak)

for info and screenshots use readme.md

example from ios:

Hey I get this error whenever trying to install a module from my downloads folder. I'm currently using a OnePlus 9 Pro on the latest build of LineageOS.

If you switch a phone or factory reset you have to reinstall all modules manually but if we could backup we could just restore a file and it would install all the backed up files automatically.

I recommend publishing this app to F-Droid, as it would increase awareness and trust, plus provide the users a way to automatically install updates. Information on how to do it can be found here: https://f-droid.org/en/contribute/

The Magisk module repo stopped updating it's json index the 21 December 2021.
(May vary off by one day depending on timezone)

I got complain about outdated links, and module versions.

A workaround is work in progress, if it doesn't work, I will remove it completely from the repo.

the magisk installer has a cancel button which can be used to cancel or stop the installation, I know it works only if pressed before the actual installation starts, but it's a solution to accidental pressing of download/install button (as I mentioned here).

MOVE THE SEARCH BUTTON

I suggest move the search button out of the app corner a little bit, it's will look better for rounded corner devices. Mostly all apps left the search button in the right side.

EXTEND THE SEARCH BAR

The search bar should be longer to look fit with the screen

Hi, I have a suggestion for improvement. Please make text wrap on the screen with module installation log.

Am I just blind and missing it? Is there a way to choose the sort method for the list of modules? Personally, I'd be interested in alphabetically, but I imagine there's other sort types that others would be interested in.

If not, would this be something that can be added?

App crashes when Busybox module is installed

Move the button to search for a local file to install from the bottom of the installed modules, to the top.

Due to not wanting to use Androicy I went to manually update my apps, and noticed for the first time how difficult it is compared to Magisk Manager official app to install from local on your app. I have more than 20 modules loaded so that's the reason why.

That said the main issue besides position and convenience is this:

The button itself is not noticeable.. by not being at the bottom of everything you can't just scroll to the end, so you have to precisely go to the middle or wherever the amount of modules installed puts it in. So maybe highlighting it and leaving it where it is may be a second option.

Alt-Repo's json recognises the change (from 2.6 to 2.7)

Your last-update epoch date for the module is correct in modules.json, i checked

Fox MM shows the old version (2.7)

Meanwhile it shows another module of mine, which i havent touched (in 20 days) shows as updated on todays date (same as non working updated module)...doesnt show as updated in Alt-Repo's json btw

Also while im here, had a friend who submitted a new module the other day and his Fox MM couldnt see it at all, while it showed on mine....and yes, he cleared data and even reinstalled.

I don't think it was't a good idea to add the Androidacy repo to Fmmm.
They sell user data to third party companies and thus make money with FOSS.
This gives a bad reputation to Fmmm, even more if you plan to publish it on F-Droid and get several unwanted features flags.

Developers still update their modules in Magisk Manager repo on Github. Currently I must search and install these updates manually.
Can you make FMMM to provide these updates?

Maybe consider anyone else besides Androidacy.

"Because Android deserves better."

Create a support Telegram channel so the community will much more easier to help improving the app.
Also leave a instruction where the translators can send their translations to you

I recognized this with the Overlay Mount Fix module. In the manager it shows as updated but when I look at GitHub, only the README file was changed (author added "deprecated"). The version is still 2.4 as it was since 2020.

Hey, lovely app. Possible to add a share button? Instead of cluttering the modules list, you could add it in the info page of a module, maybe to the right edge of the title of the module, could even add an option to enable/disable share functionality.

Very quick mockup I made.

Some languages (e.g German) need a bit more space 😀

Would be nice to have a reboot button after the module installation completed just like the Magisk app do.

As a feature request: to add a possibility to download a module as a zip file without installation.
Add for now I cannot find any folder with a module itself - looks like it is deleted immediately after installation. It is a good approach to save space - but one could want to store zip file for future needs.

The current stable release of Manager does not allow to undo installation of the module before reboot.

Let's assume: I installed module 1. Then before reboot I found module 2 that is better than module 1. So I install module 2 and before reboot I want to delete module 1.

At present - it is not possible so two reboots are necessary.

Hi, thank you for nice manager.

I noticed a minor issue. In Russian readme.md the name of your module is "Менеджер модулей Magisk компании Fox", which means: "Magisk Modules Manager by Fox Company". But as I understand, you are not a company. I would like to suggest to amend the heading in this way: "Менеджер модулей Magisk разработчика Fox2Code".

https://github.com/Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager#i-want-to-add-my-own-repo

I want to propose the following amendment to this:

"Modules in the repo must be monitored, and malicious modules must be removed."

To: And modules can't be edited (including original readme.md) and repackaged as the same module or an updated version.

And want to additionally propose:

-Authors must have given their consent or publish themselves to be on the repository; otherwise if they ever ask to be removed from the repo the repository owner should comply.
-Authors that gave their consent, can withdraw it in the future completely if the repository guidelines or behavior changes. If the repository behaves as they originally did, then the author may opt out of future updates getting added and not his old work.
-Repo should be free of revenue to host other authors work without permission. If they have ads or Patreon or similar for premium modules, then they can't publish free xda work from other authors that aren't even aware of it.
-Repo should adhere to the download format of the fox's mmm app with a direct download for quick updating.
-If repo has ads, then they shouldn't be deceiving (i.e a second download button, or a link to something that almost look like a module, etc)
-Repo can't collect personal user data, or metadata.

I did a quick look around and search. I could not find the following info.

Is this a Android app that can be sideloaded just like any other android app? OR
Does FMMM need to be installed using Magisk plugin feature "Install from storage"?

I did look in the Magisk plugsins list and did not find FMMM, I used Magisk v23.0 that stills has the plugin repro.

A quick blurb on the readme.md on how to install or at least say if this is an app or magisk module would be nice.

I have this entry

I guess it belongs to JamesDSP Manager module

Magisk Manager does not show the erroneous entry.

For some reason the app language changes to English only if OS default language is English. "Force English language" option is ignored.

Here are the references I found in the code:

CompatConfigHelper.java
boolean forceEnglish

MainApplication.java
boolean isForceEnglish
.getBoolean "pref_force_english"

SettingsActivity.java
compatThemeWrapper.setForceEnglish

root_preferences.xml

app:key="pref_force_english"
app:title="@string/force_english_pref"

strings.xml
string name="force_english_pref"

Device: Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Snapdragon, One UI 4.0
Android version: 12
App version: 0.3.1

Why is the version from DJS module https://github.com/VR-25/djs/releases in the alt-repo older than in Androidacy?

Please note, that Module Manager does not see the module which was created by 3C All-in-one Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free). This module is located in /data/adb/modules and in the attachment you can find the archive with relevant folder.

3c.zip

Hi .

When you open the application, the message “Fail to connect to the internet” appears, knowing that the Internet is good .

Thank you .

For this module Fmmm shows an incomplete version name

Compare with Magisk Manager

Add a star button to add modules in a favorite list/tab. This would help by allowing users to tag modules they'd like to try sometime in the future, but not install right now.

it happens because aml keeps files outside /data/adb/modules, in /data/adb/aml

As the title says, Fox's MMM shows an updated version is available but there is none.
This happened before v0.2.7 was released. I updated it today to v0.2.7 and I get the same result.
Any ideas?

Thank you

As stated above, Download Moduleoption in FoxMagiskModuleManager downloads the.zipwhich we users callmodule` from here(example) that needs to be extracted, opened, and and needs to recompress the files in order to be able to flash in Magisk later on.

However, I do think it is possible to download from releases section if it exists with a condition to check whether it exists or not as some devs just don't release but update the repo.

What's your view on this?

Dunno about others, just im not too happy about them listing my modules, and inserting ads at the end of my readme files (the i icon on their site) or in the pre download page

They have been instructed to remove my modules

In short they can get f#$%ed....

Not sure it is a bug actually...
Whatever: can anybody try to enable changing view orientation on the phone - and just turn the phone from vertical to horizontal during installation?
In my case it causes "failure when unpacking the module" during installation from local repository.

Just in case: the module I have attached has about a few seconds from the start of install till the finish - so one who wants to test has enough time to rotate the phone and to check.
I really believe it was just a occasional case but who knows.

Especially when opening the info panel on modules, the text is physically touching the edge of the screen, which is a big no-no from a design standpoint, because some phones have those stupid curved edges and some (like mine) have screen protectors with black edges that cover the first and last 20 or so pixels at the edges, making text that touch the edge very difficult to read.
Add a 40-50 pixel margin to be safe.

I cant download any module
