📋 OmniClip

OmniClip is a lightweight Xposed module designed to restore universal, global clipboard access across all applications and display environments.

📜 Origin & Credits

Please Note: OmniClip is a modification of the logic found in Entr0pia’s fork of the xposed-clipboard-whitelist module. This specific iteration was born out of the frustration of trying to use a functional clipboard while Android Auto is running, where the system’s “Invalid Device ID” checks break the copy-paste flow between the phone and external interfaces.

📢 IMPORTANT:

Source Code Unavailable: Original source code is not included in this repository, the provided APK is the result of decompiling the original APK of this module and applying several smali patches.

⚠️ SECURITY WARNING

OmniClip bypasses Android’s built-in clipboard security model. By design, Android restricts clipboard access to prevent background apps from “scraping” sensitive information like passwords or 2FA codes.

By installing this module, you acknowledge that:

• Any app on your device can read your clipboard at any time.
• Background access protections are completely disabled.
• Sensitive data copied to your clipboard is potentially exposed to all installed applications.

🤔 Why OmniClip?

In recent Android versions (particularly Android 13 and 14), access is often denied if:

1. Background Restrictions: The requesting app does not have current window focus.
2. Virtual Displays: The app is running on Android Auto, scrcpy, or WSA, which the system flags with an “Invalid Device ID” (-1).
3. Cross-User Barriers: The app is trying to access data across different user profiles.

🎓 How It Works

The module applies hooks to com.android.server.clipboard.ClipboardService:

• Device ID Normalization: Forces getIntendingDeviceId to return 0 (DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT), tricking the system into believing every request originates from the main phone display.
• Permission Authorization: Short-circuits clipboardAccessAllowed to always return true, granting access to background callers.

📝 Installation

1. Install the OmniClip APK.
2. Enable the module in your Xposed manager (e.g., LSPosed).
3. Set “System Framework” as the scope.
4. Reboot your device.
