Phone temperature sensor not working - Charging slow - How to fix?
Recently, something has happened to my phone's temperature sensor. It's showing ridiculously high values for the temperature (over 100 degrees), even though it's very cold.

Recently, something has happened to my phone's temperature sensor. It's showing ridiculously high values for the temperature (over 100 degrees), even though it's very cold. This has caused my phone to refuse fast charging, and it charges very, very slowly. (~7 hours to charge)
Is there anyway I could turn off a sensor or fake its value so that my phone charging returns to normal?
Or is there anyway to force the phone to ignore the thermal limits during charging? (I know it's dangerous but I have no choice)
Deleting the thermal engine file doesn't fix the issue.
P.S: Android 10 | Qualcomm chipset | Rooted + Xposed

How to spoof NMEA sentences on physical Android 8.1 phone for apps like WeChat?
**The problem.** Location spoofing is fairly simple for most Android apps. It's done either by using Xposed modules such as XPricyLua or by using a location spoofing app such as [Fake GPS Location][1] or even both. But few sophisticated apps such as [WeChat][2] or [GPS Info & NMEA Logging][3] will a...
**The problem.** Location spoofing is fairly simple for most Android apps. It's done either by using Xposed modules such as XPricyLua or by using a location spoofing app such as Fake GPS Location or even both. But few sophisticated apps such as WeChat or GPS Info & NMEA Logging will anyway detect your real location even if you use an Xposed module or a FakeGPS app or even both. It happens because they utilize hardware level SDK (e.g. BaiduLocationSDK) and will relay on NMEA sentences rather than LocationManager and FusedLocationProvider APIs. There's a related post on stackoverflow that haven't been resolved.
**Spoofing methods I have tried and they haven't worked** (even on rooted Android):
- Xposed Modules such as XPrivacyLua and LocationInjector (apps see NMEA sentences from real location)
- Anything using Developer options, mock location app (Fake GPS location , MockGeoFix, Bluetooth GPS Provider)
- Fused location provider spoofing with apps using both mock location and Xposed module (Mock Locations (fake GPS path) )
- IP geolocation spoofing (VPN)
- GPS provider spoofing & IP geolocation spoofing
- geo nmea and geo fix commands (worked on emulator, MockGeoFix doesn't show NMEA sentences)
**Ideas.** Some GPS-over-bluetooth/network/serial apps such as GNSSTool or GPS Connector almost do the work. They are able to receive NMEA sentences from other hardware devices (e.g. Android phone) or even replay them from nmea-files BUT but WeChat and GPS Info & NMEA Logging doesn't see satellites and NMEA sentences anyway (as mock location app selected).
**The question.** Are there any other applications, modules (Xposed, Magisk), methods or ideas to spoof location in apps relaying on NMEA sentences on a physical Android 8.1 phone?

What are the alternatives for Xposed framework on Pie? Preferably without triggering Safety Net?
Xposed development has been in a limbo with the last update being a [beta released a year ago](https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811).

Xposed development has been in a limbo with the last update being a [beta released a year ago](https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811) .
Die hard fans of Xposed hesitate to upgrade Android, in the absence of Xposed support.This is true for the latest Android Pie as well. Magisk is useful but cannot replace Xposed for deep stuff. Yet another concern is Safety Net getting triggered when Xposed framework is installed through Magisk.
What are the alternatives available? Preferably without triggering Safety Net?
*Note* :
1. This is a self answered question to share my recent foray into this after upgrading to Pie.
2. Moderators are welcome to make this a wiki Q and A if it attracts more updates or if deemed fit.

I have an Android 10 phone (Motorola Moto G9 Play) and I want to change the Android ID (I think that's what apps use to identify you sometimes).
I have a cell phone with: ROOT + Magisk + EdXposed
I always changed my "Android ID" using "Titanium Backup". But there is currently no option to change.
Is it possible to change the "Android ID" just using a few tools, command line, applications, something that can modify the "Android ID"?
Please, I need it so much.
Reason: Some applications when they are going to ban accounts, they block the "Android ID" and I need to modify it and then use it again!
(By Google Translator, sorry!) =(

How to fake a 4G connection?
I need to find a way to mock 3g/4g, so applications think they are connected via data(3g/4g). But in reality, I am connected to wifi. My device is running Android 9 (Pie) with Magisk & EdXposed.

How to install EdXposed on Android 11? What about safety net?

Further to these questions:
* https://android.stackexchange.com/q/207633/131553
* https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/218179/how-to-install-edxposed-on-android-10-without-triggering-safety-net
**How does one install EdXposed on Android 11?**
**Notes:**
1. This is a self answered question consolidating information from several threads on XDA / Github/ Twitter and my experience on Pixel 4a to give a helpful start to that dying breed who like to install [tag:XPosed-framework] modules . Edxposed is still in beta and Android 11 is recently released, so there would be many changes to this answer in future. Since I do not intend to update this answer with developments, others are welcome to add and modify - sadly, in the previous two questions, there hasn't been a single edit barring mine :(. Moderators are welcome to make this a community wiki if warranted.
2. Answer is generic in nature and for issues relating to installation / modules you are better off asking in respective device/module threads in XDA.

Disable lock screen with root or xposed in android 9
I have an ASUS ZenFone Go (ZC500TG) running phh's Treble GSI Android 9 AOSP. I have both Magisk root and EdXposed (SandHook) Magisk Module installed.

I have an ASUS ZenFone Go (ZC500TG) running phh's Treble GSI Android 9 AOSP. I have both Magisk root and EdXposed (SandHook) Magisk Module installed.
My problem is that my school email requires me to have a lock screen set up to receive emails. This is really annoying. If I don't set up a lock screen, this message below pops up and there is no way to remove the notification. It seems that "Swipe to unlock" doesn't count as a lockscreen.
I also tried an Exposed Module, Lock screen Disabler. Unfortunately, it only supports Android 6 and below. I tried installing the Module on my phone and it doesn't work. The module hasn't been updated in a while from the creator.
I'm currently open to any solution that can disable the lockscreen and receive emails from my school, using a Magisk module, Xposed module or with root.
**Extra info:**
From my findings, it seems that Google Play Services has a service that detects whether there is a lockscreen present on the phone. The service is "Screen lock service". Unfortunately, I also tried disabling the service but it would reenable itself after a reboot. The service can be found at: Settings --> Security & location --> Device admin apps. It is a pain in the ass to disable the service everytime I did a reboot. (I do a lot of testing on the phone so it is normal for me to reboot frequently in a day).
I am also open to a solution where I can permanently disable this service and I don't need to set up a lockscreen. Root, Magisk module or Xposed module is okay.

How to prevent apps from entering immersive mode in portrait mode?
Some games in portrait mode will enter immersive mode automatically, and my navigation bar and notification bar will be hidded, and it is really annoying for me. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Root, Magisk and Xposed(Edxposed) is acceptable.
