Yeah, adds to every color doesn't work. I only use remove thief, waste never goes up, freeze timer, and bonus never resets AoB to get the avatar/trophy. It takes a few minutes, but likely looks like a more legit time anyways.
Not sure about your other issue.
Edit: Just noticed you said if you don't use that AoB, the others don't work. I don't know, but these are the codes I used maybe a month ago and it worked fine.
