Hide installed apps, settings, and package installers on Android with HMA-OSS, a Zygisk module.
About HMA-OSS
HMA-OSS is a Zygisk module for Android that hides installed apps, settings, and package installers from other apps. It is a fork of the Hide My Applist project. The fork replaces the LSPosed dependency with Zygisk.
The project's stated purpose is to limit app list exposure. The source notes that some apps read the installed app list for fingerprinting, and that detecting root-related apps can amount to detecting that a device is rooted. The module can hide apps or reject app list requests. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The source lists it as requiring root access.
