HaGeZi GitHub restricted again

A few days ago HaGeZi got hit by the usual automated bots reporting the account. GitHub locked the repo + account and forced a password reset. Classic “fraud detection” nonsense on a project that’s been running for years with 25k+ stars.

xRuffKez (DNSBunker) stepped up immediately and they’re now hosting the full official mirror together.

Lists refresh every 4 hours straight from HaGeZi’s build system, all formats included. It stays up even after the GitHub side comes back.

I just pushed an update to ControlD HaGeZi Sync so it supports custom mirror lists. Default is already set to the DNSBunker one, with automatic fallback if GitHub returns 404. No config changes needed for most people.

Stay safe out there.

Edit: GitHub restored his repo.

BetterKnownInstalled v1.5.0 is out

Just pushed a new release with some important behavioral fixes:

- No longer wipes
packages-warnings.xml (that was only causing repeated warning dialogs and has nothing to do with DroidGuard/Play Integrity)
- System packages (system="true") are now properly skipped instead of being marked as Play Store installs
- packageSource="2" is now added when missing (not just replaced)
- Also handles isOrphaned="1" and installInitiatorUninstalled="1" in addition to "true"

Under the hood: safer line-by-line processing (slower) + updated abx2xml/xml2abx binaries (now with riscv64 support).

This still needs proper testing — I’ll be glad for any reviews or feedback if you try it.

BetterKnownInstalled v1.5.1 is out

Quick follow-up release with some important fixes:

- Fixed vending UID extraction — more robust grep + fallback, no more resolving to 0 or wrong UID
- Fixed system apps being incorrectly patched — now also skips by codePath (/system, /vendor, /product, /odm, /oem, /apex)
- Fixed single-line packages.xml corruption (normalized during processing then collapsed back)
- Reverted to the proven sed engine from v1.4.0 + DRY system-app skip guards
- Added sanity check that aborts if vending_uid resolves to 0

Should be more reliable than 1.5.0. Feedback welcome as always.
