[Q] Parallel Apps (Utility), and Systemizing it with xXx.NoLimits ?

So my situation is:
I have 2 SIM cards, and each SIM card has a WhatsApp account (WhatsApp + WhatsApp Parallel App).
I was trying to Systemize WhatsApp (using xXx.NoLimits) because it is Mission Critical application I use for work, and need it to be reliable.
When I went to Systemize WhatsApp, it worked - but the Parallel App account would not open (just said permission denied).
I then tried removing the Parallel WhatsApp before Systemizing, and after Systemizing WhatsApp I cannot add a parallel WhatsApp (via the Parallel App Utility).
And my question(s) is:
How does the Parallel App Utility work, does it create a 2nd .apk file (then I could Systemize both .apks), and where is that .apk located?
Has anyone gotten Systemized applications to create a Parallel version via the Utility?
How could I fix the permission denied issue for the Parallel WhatsApp?
Thanks in advance for any useful input/answers!

Why do you want to systemize WhatsApp?
This is the first time I am coming across someone wanting to systemize it. I do not know of any advantages that WhatsApp could have as a system application -- it will work as it is, even if you don't systemize it. Au contraire, by systemizing it, you are taking additional steps with the end result being unreliability.

Notifications are not reliable (at least with xXx.NoLimits). Both WhatApp, and Paralleled one, are not consistent on getting notifications. Also using Franz for WhatssApp Web front-end, and it does not hold stable connection over extended periods of time.
Using WhatsApp for work (both accounts), so it is mission critical

Would converting it to system app solve these issues? I think not.
Have you restored whatsapp data through Titanium Backup? Do you have whatsapp excluded from Doze? These are more likely to impact(/solve) your notification issues

Have not backed-up/restored data using Titanium backup.
Issue is with WhatsApp being killed in background (even though it is marked to NOT be battery optimized)... (see explanation on xXx NoLimits thread below)
xXx said:
Systemizing Apps
For all who have issues with apps being killed in the background even they are marked as not to be battery optimized. If this happens, you won't get notifications anymore from that specific app and next time you jump to that app it have to be loaded again instead of still being available in Ram.
In order to work around this issue, you can now place your critical apps as apk file with any filename in the following folder:
/sdcard/xXx/apps
All apk files will be installed as system apps when you flash NoLimits next time.
Now your selected apps will behave like a system app and as system apps are excluded from battery optimization mechanisms, they are most likely not killed anymore in background.
Let's say you want to do this with Whatsapp and have Whatsapp already installed as user app. This is not a problem. You don't lose any data and if updates are available, they will be applied by the Playstore like always. The apps are installed system-less as part of the NoLimits Magisk Module and NOT placed on the system partition.
If you want to add further apps, just place the apk files in /sdcard/xXx/apps and flash NoLimits again. Or if you want to remove some, or all apps simple remove the apk's or remove the apps folder and flash NoLimits again.

Systemizing it fixed it for me, however the problem was I could not create a Parallel App of WhatsApp, via the Android Utility, to be Systemized as well.
Alternatively, there are 3rd party apps that I can use (and am using temporarily)- however I want to use the built in Parallel App within the native Android Utility. Not keen on using 3rd party apps for this type of problem.

Ahh, this is a specific issue with the ROM. I am not sure why the ROM is so aggressive with how it handles background processing. I would advise asking this in the ROM thread as other users using that ROM would be better equipped in answering the question of how to systemize a parallel app.
Alternatively, I would also suggest just moving away from the ROM if WhatsApp is so critical to your functioning. WhatsApp is known to ban accounts using unofficial derivative apps (not referring to parallel apps in this case), so you are at risk of losing access to an important resource. The stock ROM would not require you to systemize any app to continue receiving notifications.

Ya well I like the NoLimits Magisk Module, so I will use this workaround for the time being .
But it seems this notification issue is related to Android Pie and affects a whole list of devices (stack overflow, xda forums, Reddit - all have reports of this issue).

Yes, there is a notification issue. But I am betting it is related to the module you are using, rather than be the same bug.

Very well could be true about being a different bug. I have no way to prove that it is the same bug or isn't.
For me, Systemizing WhatsApp with xXx.NoLimits does fix the problem - but still, I would like to use the built in OOS Parallel Utility to clone WhatsApp and Systemize that clone.
That is why I was wondering A) how to solve the permissions problem for cloned app once WhatsApp is Systemized, and B) how does OOS Parallel Utility work on a technical level.
Have not seen any info on either of these things (from these forums or elsewhere).
So at the moment I am using very old version of an application that got banned from the Play Store to clone WhatsApp so I can Systemize WhatsApp - and everything works.
Not really what I want to do though, if you catch my drift.

Farewell to titanium backup. Looking for alternative.

Hi.
Just had and upgrade from OnePlus 6t to OnePlus 7 pro. I was thinking, that it's gonna to be easy walk in the park using my old friend Titanium backup. Ow how I was wrong. I used "migrate system data" checkbox checked
Every third user app force closes after restore from titanium backup
All user settings bluetooth / wifi pairings was was not restored successfully. Didnt even tried messages and call logs, as I read in play store comments, that it's also a failure
Box.com backups of app got's corrupted. Downloaded backups verification fails with "error with properties of backup". In details it shows: has data:yes, has app:No. But folder size is same as on source system. Simple to test on single device: backup any app, upload to box.com. Uninstall app and delete it's backup. Sync back from box to titanium backup. And this app is not restoreable anymore. Same test succeeds with google drive. Wrote support, but no answer. Ended moving files between devices via oneplus file manager file dash.
Folder organizer labels does not work anymore
How I can backup and move titanium settings and labels from one device to another? "Auto sync tb settings" checkbox does not generate any file on source device for me
UI issues trimming part of the labels / texts
And it's not only me. See one of the most thanked comment on play store from 2019-03-18:
App data backup / restore works, but that's about it. * It only backs up the main .apk file in a split apk. Restoring a backup of split apk will most likely cause the app to crash.Google is pushing app bundles hard, so these will become more and more common. * It doesn't backup Messages / call logs correctly (DB location moved to /data/user_de/0 sometime in Kit-Kat? This backs up the old location) * Backups occasionally fail reporting no space left, despite having more than enough available * Lots of UI issues, such as dark text on dark buttons - nearly illegible * Developer is unresponsive to support emails

I don't want to say farewell to my old beloved friend, but lack of support and such issues is not acceptable for me. Any recommendations for reliable backup app?

I think I found alternative: Swift backup.
Supports all new android features (split apks + permision restore). Also app has extremely active and supportive telegram group with app author in constant contact with users. Requested one feature, and it got implemented in a few moments!

I also now start running into hanging restores using trusty old Titanium Backup. So it stopped working properly. I indeed reckon it is due to split apks. So I am now also stuck wondering whether to ask for updating TB or move over to using something else. I will have a look at your found alternative, thanks.

Necrothreading here . But in 2020 Titanium still freezes on split APKs and doesn't support DE app data. I also took a look at Swift but immediately rejected it because it won't run even in a basic mode without GApps and a sign-in - useless when testing developer ROMs where the gapps might be broken.
Any other 2020 root backup solutions that work?

Those apps are not taken care because people don't root their phones nowadays. Would recommend you to use TWRP for backup.

had the same issue, but I fixed it with disabling this android setting: "Verify apps over USB". This setting is under system > developer options, so you will have to enabled developer mode..
I found this advice elsewhere, so I thought I'd put it here too. I'm looking for an alternative for titanium, (I'm happily using SMS Backup and Restore), but haven't found anything I like just yet.

I disabled "Verify apps over USB" and it allowed my hanging restores to complete.
HOWEVER, the apps in question then crashed every time I tried to open them. So not truly a working solution.

did you take a look at logcat for details of the crash? I think I had similar issues, and it turns out I needed to change permissions/ownership on a single directory (/sdcard?). I had to do this once, and then all subsequent restores have been working fine. it's quite easy to do with "adb logcat" and then just try to start the app.
The best thing I did was not to try to restore everything on the new phone, but just selectively restore apps that I missed from the old phone over time. apps like signal/whatapp need specialized restore processes anyway due the encryption, and the storage of data outside of the app data location.

SWIFT requires GAPPS. If you're trying to move away from Google, it won't work.
I have noticed on my own phone that Titanium Backup often does not restore the APK properly. However, I have had great success with it in restoring app data and I can always download and install the app from APKMonk, APKMirror F-Droid or my backup APK. Unfortunately, without GAPPS, the Titanium Backup PRO key will not work and the free app is too limiting. Titanium Backup does have the capability of using a license file and I have tried multiple times to contact the programmer to acquire or re-buy the license file but I have heard nothing back from them since I started pestering them a month ago, not from their TitaniumTrack website, not from the legacy page and not by direct email to Mr. Bourquard. I'm going to keep trying but there have been no updates to the app in Google Play since 24 Nov 2019 (the TitaniumTrack website has a change log but no update date). I hope he isn't dead ...

The problem of apps with Split APK's makes it harder to make your own backup APK, and if you can't find the full APK on a mirror, you can be in trouble.
I have found a good solution using SAI ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aefyr.sai&hl=en&gl=US ).
I backup the app with TiB (which, as you say, does a good job still with the app data). And I backup the APKs with SAI. Between the two, I can rollback/restore/etcetera.

That's not a bad idea.
I recently migrated away from Google and have /e/OS loaded on my phone without GAPPS. I can use Aurora Store to access Google Play but SAI is also available in the /e/ store so I'll get it from there. I had looked at and rejected SAI because it doesn't save app data but I'll try combining the two.

I'm not sure why Swift Backup is not talked about more often. It's one of the best backup app out there. Way better than what Titanium offers.

Well, unfortunately Titanium hasn't been updated in ages...

As I explained earlier, Swift requires the Google Play store, which I purposely do not have installed on my phone.

Have you guys not heard of oandbackup ? It's not updated since 2019 but I think it does a pretty good job, the github page also mentions about how to restore the files manually and setting security context etc. I haven't tried it but I am about too.

It is no longer mandatory to have GApps, though it is still mandatory to sign to google account. You can still do local back up

Question Just a heads up Swift Backup will NOT restore data from a 6 pro to a 7 pro

Either the 7 pro has a new file structure, or Swift Backup is a 32 bit app, which ia no longer allowed on the 7 pro version of A13. Whatever the issue is, if you have important data, keep the 7 pro in the box until another option for restoring app data is available.
Just trying to save folks some time amd effort.

Ive restore my backup successfully ( or almost successfully , cause few apps were crashing afterwards..lol) from my 6pro

I will also try it at the weekend. An alternative (perhaps) is Migrate. But if both won't work, then this would be a quite big deal...

I was gonna open a thread about this!
I got in touch with the dev on Telegram and that's what he said:
1. How many apps have you tried restoring?
2. By any chance are these apps that are secure? Payment apps, apps with accounts, apps that use encryption using Android Keystore, etc.
3. Pick a small app like Geekbench for testing backup and restore and let me know how it goes.
Also, I was linked to this FAQ: https://swiftapps.org/issues#restorefail
I guess I'm not switching to the 7 Pro until I can find a way to transfer my apps (from a 4 XL).

swift backup worked fine for me. (OP20 pro -> P7 Pro)
But needed to log out in swift backup cause it uses google login.
After that yo have to give swift full root access. Then it worked for me

Restoring apps from P6P is working well for me. The apps that are crashing are likely encrypting data with a master key stored in Android keystore and they crash because master keys can't be transferred between devices.

I tried using Titanium Backup to transfer a few apps' data from Pixel 3XL to 7 Pro, and they all failed. Swift was able to restore data for a certain Candy-based game with success, but that was the only one I tried.

Follow up on this: I chatted with the dev on Telegram and he said most people were able to transfer their stuff to the Pixel 7 without any problem.
He's gonna get one himself soon so he'll be able to test things more thoroughly I guess.

I transfered without issue except on a few that had biometrics setup. I had to clear those and setup manually.

It will fail on 32bit native applications. 32bit is enabled in P6 and disabled in P7.

I have been emailing the developer too. Of the 190 apps that I restored, about 20 of them didn't work after being restored.

Keep my new Pixel 7 Pro in the box? I used a neat trick by letting the Playstore download all my apps. Then just took the time to log in and setup as before. Pictures and videos OTG flash drive. Text Messages and MMS I let Next SMS handle it.

Most of the apps I transferred using Swift worked. TB has been dead on my P6P for awhile unfortunately, just crashes on open so I tried Swift and was able to transfer with maybe a 90% success rate out of 20+ apps that I didn't want to set back up manually. I'm only recalling 2 maybe 3 so far that didn't work. I didn't bother trying anything sensitive like banking/stock/crypto etc.

PSA: v4.2.3 is being pushed to the Play Store.
Pixel 7 users should update asap.
Changelog:
Apps: Fixed an issue on Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro where Swift Backup failed to properly restore apps with split APKS
Apps: Fixes for proper backup of permissions like Picture-in-Picture, WiFi Control and Turn screen on OneDrive: Added retry mechanisms for some temporary OneDrive errors
Wallpapers: Some optimizations when user has a very large number of wallpaper backups
Other fixes

4.2.3 not showing for me here in the uk on play store. still 4.2.2.

it will take a while for it to update across playstore

Not everything gets copied over. Best to hook up the old phone to the computer and run adb pull /sdcard to make a backup of the sdcard. Delete the Android folder from the backup and then drag and drop it onto the new phone. Like my Signal folder didn't get backed up so I had to manually copy it over and restore the backup and none of the non-stock folders in the root of the sdcard storage got brought over either.

Question Rooted and moving to a replacement P7P. Best way to transfer?

Hi guys. Had my pixel replaced under Googles Rma warranty service. I'm fully rooted so it's a bit of a pain having to set my phone up all over again, but I use swift backup and Google backup so that should get me most of the way there. Is there anything else I should do before I move? Anyone else had to have their phone replaced under warranty? I'll have both phones so I'm hoping the process won't take too long.

To be on the safe side, and next to what you mentioned, I would also ensure that my WhatsApp history is backed up to Google Drive, and also copy the storage contents to the laptop in case I needed it (documents, Magisk modules, etc).

Good shout thanks for that. Always forget WhatsApp can be a bit awkward

I don't understand why my grouped apps on the home screen would lose the grouping for one particular P7P. The other two devices seem to be able to retain the groups using Google sign-in to restore so that my home screen remains tidy and organized. Haven't tried Swift Backup, though this is the 2nd time I have heard about it. Thanks for the endorsement. Waiting for TWRP 3.8 to support Android 13 if not 14.
Not a fan of just letting apps sit in the drawers and having to search for them every time. I like to group apps based on the same topic, say banking apps in the group called "Finance," or "Bank."

How to install more than 1 Grab on 1 device?

Hi all,
I have a question that how to install more 1 application Grab on 1 phone. Because this app will be block if you trying to install more than 1 on 1 phone. I assume it got IMEI and MAC address of device and save it. I tried to use the application to clone app but not effect.
Do you have any exp or solution for fixing it? Please share with me. Thank you so much.

What model of device are you doing this on?

With regards to a single-user Android:
Some Android devices offer native support for app cloning. It lets you run multiple copies of the same app without having to install any third-party tool. This feature is available on Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and OnePlus phones, among others.
Anyways, there are tons of cloning apps on Google Play. Not all of them are reliable or safe, though. So let's look at some of the best cloning apps out there and how to use them to install the same app twice on Android:
Parallel Space
is a pioneer in the app cloning niche and is based on multiDroid, the first and fastest Android virtualization system. You can use it to create two versions of an app with separate data files, so both versions run independently.
It provides excellent privacy features to protect your data, and you can keep the cloned apps in a secret space with a security lock using the incognito installation.
Dual space
is another solid cloning app with low CPU consumption and great social account support. It can clone almost all social apps, including WhatsApp, and allows you to use both the standard and cloned apps simultaneously without data interference.
Dual Space also manages notifications from cloned apps effectively, so they won't interfere with the regular apps. Its Private Space feature lets you use multiple social accounts in complete privacy and with zero traces. And with its quick cloning feature, you can quickly duplicate all apps.
With regards to a multi-user Android:
Simply install the app in question per configured user.
