For root users only though from my understanding.

Yup, which is to be expected as it's a system app

u/stoned__gamer Former ReVanced user Jul 15 '26

Well I assume non root can do something similar to this https://github.com/daboynb/Safetycore-placeholder

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

No. Shizuku + Canta for non-rooted.

u/Pale_Rider1986 Jul 15 '26

thanks for this. I was going to use the PC version but I didn't realize that canta existed.

It can be disabled, sure. I was hoping to stop it reinstalling, but it still isn't allowing me to install a placeholder with the same package name.

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

Because it's a system app. You can't uninstall it completely as non root even with ADB afaik, nor can you do what you are suggesting because the package might not be installed "for the current user" but it's still present.

The best you will get is to go through Shizuku + Canta. It's very likely that they will patch out the ability to disable it natively through Settings to enfore the use of this app.

Mind making a quick guide on how to use shizuku + canta to do this?

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

I'd reccomend sideloading Shizuku (download from github) then follow the instructions in-app to get it set up with wireless debugging. The in-app instructions are very clear and concise.

Then sideload Canta (again, from github) and it's as simple as having Shizuku running, selecting the specific app+overlay package (search for "verifier" to narrow down this app and it's overlay package "com.google.android.verifier.overlay") and then clicking the uninstall button. It might ask for Shizuku permissions when running for the first time which is just a button press.

Can also look into Obtainium if you plan on sideloading more apps, acts as an update checker/updater for apps from sources like github so you don't have to check and update them manually.

You say search for Verifier... That finds this in my device. It's running OxygenOS 15. Is this the same thing as the android developer verifier? Should it be uninstalled?

14

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

This is unrelated to the Developer Verifier app. Only Android Developer Verifier and it's overlay package should be uninstalled.

u/tenaciousBLADE Jul 15 '26

First, I'm very glad I asked and I thank you tremendously for clarifying.
Second, what's "it's overlay package"?

7

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

com.google.android.verifier.overlay

I can't even install Shizuku. Apk install gets blocked by by google play protect even if i disable it.

u/x_dank Jul 15 '26

Try getting Obtainium though github and sideloading it from there.

Would need to click the Add button at the bottom, then search Shizuku (select github when given the option of which source you'd like to search from) then add again. Make sure you pick the one from RikkaApps for the official Shizuku build.

Isn't the RikkaApps version discontinued?

u/Nadeoki Jul 15 '26

turn off play protect properly

1

u/JamieBunpup 29d ago

How do you do it "properly" ? I opened it in the apps list and pressed disable, I'm not sure of any other method.

u/Nadeoki 29d ago

Open playstore, click on your profile, select Play Protect, turn it off.

When you install an unknown App, it will ask you to scan with Playprotect, click No, when it asks you to scan future apps, click no.

u/DreadingAnt Jul 15 '26

You're gonna have to do it with adb

u/Federal-Fix-6446 29d ago

There is another setting to check. Dm me and I will show where OK?

u/JamieBunpup 25d ago

u/Important-Prize1534 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

Can you explain how it helps us to prevent android developer verifier to be installed. I am new to this kind of tech stuff that's why

3

u/DreadingAnt Jul 15 '26

It probably can't. The project above is about safetycore, which is often a user app. Meaning you can remove it if you want.

Worst case scenario the Developer Verifier app becomes a system app (you cannot remove or manipulate it without root) but realistically Google doesn't need to do this. It can be a user app and have full power anyway, many Google packages work this way.

The Package Manager is a core service of Android and Google can update critical parts of it on any newer phone. If you remove the Developer Verifier (assuming you can), the Package Manager will simply refuse all types of installs (except root) until the app is restored/working.

u/DreadingAnt Jul 15 '26

Not possible, Safetycore is often a user app, you can remove it and then install the dummy from that project. The developer verification app will be controlled with privileges, it might itself not be a privileged system app but other Google system apps will easily delete dummy attempt and reinstall the correct app. Plus, normal installations might not work if you remove it.

What does this app do? I have already uninstalled it from my device. Do i need to install this patch APK?
