MagiskHide Props Config Explained: A Thorough Guide​

MagiskHide Props Config is a powerful Magisk module that extends the functionality of MagiskHide, the built-in hiding mechanism for rooted Android devices. If you've ever struggled with passing SafetyNet checks or encountered apps that refuse to work on your rooted device, this module might be your solution.

What is MagiskHide Props Config?​

MagiskHide Props Config provides a user-friendly interface for modifying system properties (props) on your Android device. These props define numerous aspects of your device's hardware, software, and configuration. By manipulating these values, you can effectively mask the fact that your device is rooted, bypassing detection mechanisms used by certain apps and services.

Key Features​

1. Device Fingerprint Spoofing​

One of the primary features is the ability to modify your device's fingerprint. If your device can't fully pass SafetyNet checks (particularly the CTS profile check), you can use a certified fingerprint from the module's extensive database. These fingerprints come from stock ROMs and are known to pass Google's certification process.

2. MagiskHide Props Management​

By default, MagiskHide changes certain sensitive prop values to known safe values to avoid detection:

• ro.debuggable (set to "0")
• ro.secure (set to "1")
• ro.build.type (set to "user")
• ro.build.tags (set to "release-keys")
• ro.build.selinux (set to "0")

Sometimes you might need to revert these changes for compatibility with certain ROMs. This module allows you to selectively restore original values while understanding the potential risk of detection.

3. Custom Props Configuration​

The module enables you to set your own custom prop values, which can be useful for various tweaks and adjustments to your device behavior. This feature is particularly helpful for advanced users who need specific configurations.

How to Use MagiskHide Props Config​

Installation​

1. Install the module through Magisk Manager or download the zip file and install it via recovery.
2. Reboot your device after installation.
3. Use a terminal emulator app (available on F-Droid or Google Play) to run the module.

Basic Commands​

To access the module interface, simply run:


su props<br>

This brings up a menu with numerous options:

1. Edit device fingerprint
2. Force BASIC key attestation
3. Device simulation
4. Edit MagiskHide props
5. Add/edit custom props
6. Delete prop values
7. Script settings
8. Collect logs

Setting Custom Props​

To set a custom prop value:

1. Run su props
2. Select option 5 (Add/edit custom props)
3. Choose "New custom prop"
4. Enter the prop name (e.g., ro.build.type)
5. Enter the desired value
6. Reboot your device for changes to take effect

Advanced Features​

The module includes several advanced capabilities:

• Configuration files for batch prop changes
• Automatic fingerprint list updates
• Device simulation beyond just fingerprints
• Options to edit the actual prop files in build.prop and default.prop

When to Use MagiskHide Props Config​

Consider using this module when:

• Banking or payment apps detect root and refuse to work
• Games with anti-cheat mechanisms block rooted devices
• You need to pass SafetyNet checks for certain apps
• Your ROM requires specific prop values for full functionality

By understanding and properly configuring MagiskHide Props Config, you can enjoy the benefits of root access while maintaining compatibility with apps that normally reject rooted devices. This delicate balance is what makes this module an essential tool in any advanced Android user's toolkit.
