Detach

Introduction

INFO:This Module is a port of the original MOD created by hinxnz - XDA thread/OP to work as a Magisk module for Android, so all credits to him.

Setup steps:

If you just want to detach common app(s) like Hangouts, YouTube, Facebook, etc, just download the detach.txt file and save it in your /sdcard/ folder.
If you want to detach some specific apps, so download the detach.custom.txt file and save it in your /sdcard/ folder.
Make sure that the file(s) detach.txt and/or detach.custom.txt are in your /sdcard/ folder.

Done!

Common Question and Answers:

Q: A problem ?

A: Ask on Telegram group or/and on XDA OP (scroll up)

Q: When are the changes applied ?

A: When you flash the module, and when you run the command: su -c detach -id.

Q: Where to find an app's package name ?

A: App's package name is in the middle of the two texts framed in grey
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.package.name&hl=en

Q: Apps aren't hidden in my Play Store!

A: If you have already run the command (su -c -detach -id), report on the Telegram group.

Q: How to "attach" again an app who is previously "hidden" ?

A: Just comment again the app name in the detach.txt file or delete the corresponding package name in the detach.custom file and wait some minutes/hours. Or you can remove Play Store's app data, but you will lose your Play Store update history.

Q: What does this module do? Does it touch the system partition ?

A: It only edits a SQL database file in Play Store folder on your /data partition. Nothing more, nothing less.

Q: After several hours, my detached app(s) are back in my Play Store, what's wrong ?

A: With a recent update of the Play Store, an unknow wakeloks refresh the SQL database file of the Play Store. To fix it: just install a Terminal Emulator app or Termux (or another terminal emulator app) and run the command: => su -c detach -id

Q: My Play Store history search will be deleted ?

A: ONLY if you select the 'c' option in the terminal menu (as indicated in the menu).

Q: Is it possible to add or remove app(s) from the module's setup ?

A: Yes! See below:

For adding:
- su -c detach -a (or su -c detach --add-app)
And for removing:
- su -c detach -r (or su -c detach --rem-app)

Q: And if I'm too lazy to do the detach command every time the Play Store updates its file?

A: You can schedule the su -c detach -id command

To do this, just do:
- Run su -c detach -t (or su -c detach --task-scheduler) command in your terminal
- Choose a way.
