When you configure your device to hide root access from strict banking applications or competitive multiplayer games, you need a reliable way to verify if your setup is truly foolproof. ApplistDetector is an ingenious, lightweight, open-source utility designed to reveal exactly what information your Android system is leaking to other applications.
Core Capabilities
Understand the sophisticated mechanisms ApplistDetector utilizes to audit your system's privacy and root concealment integrity.
Root Evasion Testing
Acts as a benchmark for your hiding setup. It verifies if modules like Shamiko, MagiskHide, or SuList are successfully masking your rooted environment.
Multiple Scan Vectors
It does not rely on a single detection method. It utilizes PM Commands, Intent Queries, and various Android APIs to aggressively search for suspicious packages.
Xposed Detection
Beyond finding Magisk, the app is highly capable of detecting active LSPosed or EdXposed frameworks and their associated modules running on your system.
Fully Open Source
Developed transparently. Its open-source nature allows security researchers to audit the code, ensuring the detection methods are legitimate and privacy-respecting.
How Does ApplistDetector Work?
Modern Android versions attempt to restrict an application's ability to see other installed apps for privacy reasons. However, there are numerous loopholes in the system. ApplistDetector acts exactly like an intrusive banking app or a game anti-cheat engine.
When you launch the app, it runs a series of diagnostic tests. If it flags your Magisk Manager, KernelSU, or any Xposed Modules in red, it means your current root concealment strategy has failed. Your goal is to tweak your DenyList or hiding modules until ApplistDetector shows a completely green, clean slate.
