๐ OmniClip
OmniClip is a lightweight Xposed module designed to restore universal, global clipboard access across all applications and display environments.
๐ 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.
๐ข 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.
โ ๏ธ 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.
๐ค Why OmniClip?
In recent Android versions (particularly Android 13 and 14), access is often denied if:
- Background Restrictions: The requesting app does not have current window focus.
- Virtual Displays: The app is running on Android Auto, scrcpy, or WSA, which the system flags with an "Invalid Device ID" (
-1). - Cross-User Barriers: The app is trying to access data across different user profiles.
๐ How It Works
The module applies hooks to com.android.server.clipboard.ClipboardService:
- Device ID Normalization: Forces
getIntendingDeviceIdto return0(DEVICE_ID_DEFAULT), tricking the system into believing every request originates from the main phone display. - Permission Authorization: Short-circuits
clipboardAccessAllowedto always returntrue, granting access to background callers.
๐ Installation
- Install the OmniClip APK.
- Enable the module in your Xposed manager (e.g., LSPosed).
- Set "System Framework" as the scope.
- Reboot your device.
