AlwaysStrong

Overview

Developed by evoker0, AlwaysStrong is an all-in-one packaging of the key integrity bypass components required to achieve MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY on rooted Android devices.

Passing Google’s highest attestation tiers typically requires flashing, configuring, and updating multiple disparate modules—a hardware attestation simulator (like TEESimulator-RS) and a build fingerprint spoofer (like PlayIntegrityFork). AlwaysStrong unifies these components into a single package with an integrated WebUI.

Technical Architecture & How It Works

Unified Stack Orchestration

AlwaysStrong combines framework spoofing and hardware Keystore simulation:

1. Integrated Core Engines: Combines the Rust-based KeyMint simulation of TEESimulator-RS with the property manipulation rules of PlayIntegrityFork.
2. Automated Action Scripting: Tapping the Action button triggers a multi-stage maintenance pipeline that refreshes active keybox certificates, writes target packages into /data/adb/tricky_store/target.txt, and synchronizes security patch dates.
3. WebUI Management: Provides a built-in web dashboard on KernelSU and APatch, enabling users to schedule hourly keybox updates and toggle individual target applications without terminal intervention.

Installation & Setup

1. Uninstall any standalone copies of TrickyStore, TEESimulator, or PlayIntegrityFix/Fork.
2. Ensure you have an active Zygisk engine running (such as ZygiskNext, ReZygisk, or NeoZygisk).
3. Download the latest AlwaysStrong-*.zip release.
4. Flash the module in your root manager and reboot.
5. Tap the Action button in your root manager to run the initialization routine.

Configuration & Practical Usage

• WebUI Interface: On KernelSU or APatch, open the module’s WebUI to configure automatic update intervals and select target applications.
• Keybox Directory: Active attestation keys and target lists are stored at:

  /data/adb/tricky_store/keybox.xml
  /data/adb/tricky_store/target.txt

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

• Detection Still Failing: Open your root manager and run the Action button again to pull the latest unrevoked certificate bundle and kill cached Google Play Services instances.
• Zygisk Recommendation: Avoid using Magisk’s built-in Zygisk implementation with AlwaysStrong. Built-in Magisk Zygisk is easily detected by modern anti-tamper SDKs; use a standalone loader like ZygiskNext instead.
