More of my guides: Debloating MEMu - Debloating Nox (Updated)
This mainly applies to LDPlayer9. They will probably work on the low end options (like LDPlayer5) but not guaranteed.
This emulator seems to have less stability issues than MEMu. I think we get the shtick that these emulators do spooky stuff.
- Download LDPlayer, preferably an offline version from the version history
- Go to LDPlayer Settings, make system.vmdk writable, go to Other Settings and enable
Root Permission
- I would suggest getting off of LD's Launcher. Go get another one and set it as a default home app.
- Get a file manager that supports root, go to the root directory, then delete
/system/priv-app/LDAppStore
and/system/app/Launcher3
. (why did they modify the AOSP launcher lol) - Get AdAway and set it up, preferably with root-based blocking.
- Open
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
with a text editor of your choice and add this in

(Most of these domains are according to Glasswire. If there are any more to block, tell me in the comments)
- Block
dnplayer.exe
in the firewall
And block the IP addresses using the files attached to this gist (original courtesy of ehindiayleau). Make sure both the batch and the text file are in the same folder! Open command prompt as admin and CD to the folder where you saved the two files.
Now let's install Magisk! (optional). Make sure you kept root on during all of this.
- Download Magisk Delta
- Launch it and allow everything it throws at you
- Directly install to system partition (you may need to relaunch the app for this option)
- Reboot, go to a root-supported file manager and delete /system/xbin/su to avoid conflicts and reboot again.
- That's about it. Go crazy
As far as I know there aren't any known ways to get around the SafetyNet detection. I've tried the usual methods that I use on my rooted phone and they didn't work. If you found a solution, please comment below! At the moment, SafetyNet requirements do not seem to pose a big threat and devs do use workarounds so that everyone can play no matter which platform (e.g. multiplayer games putting you in emulator lobbies).
Again it does involve deleting folders off the emulator which can be reinstalled upon upgrades to the software and if you can't remove these 2 mentioned folders due to Read Only despite having Root Permission enabled, you can Freeze them using Titanium Backup : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KXARgGteRzFBd_rs77g19S31pag-R3E9/view?usp=share_link
