i have a question about the pdroid patch. I installed the program from the market, but i don't really know how to use it to be honest. Sure you can block all kinds of access, but what is dangerous and what is not? I am unsure what data i needed for it to function properly etc.

Hey brow you need to install the PDroid Patch by Clockworkmod and only after you do this You can install the app from market. ;D
Hello! I recently updated to stock 5.1.1. I have root access and have set SELinux to permissive as well. Problem is I cannot delete system apps or convert them to user apps using ROM Toolbox or any other method. I can freeze them though. Any idea how can i do this???? e.g. Chrome at the moment is a system app I want to delete it...how can I do this on 5.1.1
Thank you in advance
Since 5.1 came out I've been reading a lot of threads & posts of users with semi-root problems. Because you don't have a proper o real root access you won't be able to do much. My advise is "simple": Build yourself a prerooted zip with all the latest software:
23.4.A.0.546 .ftf
PRF Creator v0.9
SuperSU 2.46
XZDR 2.8.21
I don't know if the SELinux thing is the same as modifying the XZDR.prop but I did. This 2 lines are "true": dr.initd.active=true and dr.keep.byeselinux=true
I don't have any root problems, even when installing 5.1.1 from 4.4.2. Other thing I do: After installing the pre-rooted .zip, I flash a "stripped" .ftf: I select all the 3 wipes, No final verification and Reset customizations BUT excluding system. The phone starts "like new" but with fully functional root and recoveries.
If you want to keep your semi-rooted phone but want to delete system apps, use a debloating script. It is like a flashable .zip but will not install anything, just delete whatever you want.
I managed to remove movie creator with the kinguser app that comes with kingroot.give it a try

I've installed stock 5.1.1 and am interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully got Xposed installed on this version. I did go through the process of downloading what I thought was the correct SDK (Wanam's ARM SDK22) and the installer, but it didn't work well and I actually had to flash the remover zip. At this point I'm wary of going through all this again, so if you've successfully done this, please let me know what files you used. Many thanks if someone can assist.
I have sucessfully installed xposed framework in my device with 5.1.1 so First you had to root your phone and deodexed your rom to install xposed framework for wanam .
OK, got it working. The latest version for 5.1.1 does not require deodexing, which saved me some work. I found the correct files and installed and all is good. I personally used xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip and xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Install the xposed installer first, then flash the zip, and I was able to use my favorite xposed modules. Anyone wanting to do this definitely read up on it first, and I keep xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip on my sd card in case I install something that makes my phone have problems.
yes, stock is a ROM. based on a few past handsets, the customized / debloated stock ROM is the way to go. i'm by no means an expert, but not finding a thread for it, decided to make one. if you found your way here, you're welcome to discuss issues you're facing, whether it be magisk, xposed, debloat, whatnot. needless to say i'm just a punter, not the dev.
mine is NPP25.137-15 cedric, but i assume most of the issues arising are the same across the stock builds.
NPP25.137-33 is downloadable here.

this thread is not a true DEV-thread - but one to discuss issues in using stock ROM. there's a download link to one version of it. haven't tried to install it though, but there's guides on the net if you want/need to do so.
however, the link's ROM is from motorola, it's not debloated, and rooting is a separate matter - guides are again foundable for that.
thanks for this, but we already have a thread with stock rom, how to install it and root is there...so the firmware from your link is the stock firmware, not rooted or something. I think this thread is useless
look here
Can i flash it with TWRP?

i believe you can't flash with TWRP - but using ADB and a handful of different command lines.
this thread may give you pointers.
i don't think anyone has made a flashable zip (yet).
good
@showlyshah, could we have a conversation here about upgrading magisk to latest. i'd sent you a PM, but the msg thread would help others as well...
How to install this ROM?
I'm noob.
Thx

ok - i bit the bullet and upgraded magisk to 15.2 and the latest magisk manager.
root is ok, but various applications say that busybox is not installed - and stericsson's doesn't install. however, it seems that apps requiring busybox are still working. @showlyshah is your busybox ok?

RTFF for a link to installation instructions. but likely you already have stock - that's what you got when you bought your phone.

And i got working busy box. If you find problems with magisk installer app.. install with twrp installer. Btw. It didn't trip safety net..

i'm now on 15.3 magisk & 5.5.5 magisk manager. for me, it installs seemingly OK using the magisk-busybox installer script, both from the magisk manager & from recovery. stericsson busybox installer fails to install.
but the end result is the same, terminal reports "busybox: not found" and TWRP manager that it's not installed.
but there's a busybox folder at /sbin/.core/busybox - and apps needing it seem to work.

If apps cant find it.. it is not symlinked.. busybox is a swis army knife.. that means.. it is capable of doing most of the fuctions of various modules by its own.. normally.. apps need to use these modules ( binaries ) for doing things.. for example.. if there is a zip application.. it uses the "zip " binary to work out.. dns.. etc are some another modules..
In case of busy box.. most of these binaries are coded into that single busybox binary.. and its much less heavy on system.. and thats why some developers use it for different functions rather than using several individual binaries to accomplish the same..
The benifit is.. you only need to load a single binary .. but if individual binaries are called. Then all of these binaries will have to load and unload.
So... In a busybox installer.. there is a script that points to busy box binary.. from its normal individual binary. Its called symlink. I mean.. if you properly symlink a busybox .. and then if an app calles for a binary.. eg.. zip binary.. the system will point that call to busybox binary and not zip binary.
Also busy box binary is more reliable as it gets upadtes more frequently than normal binaries.. its bit more stable and low on hardware resources usage.
So.. what i am saying is.. even if busybox binary is installed on system.. but if it is not properly symlinked.. the apps cant find it out..
That is the problem.. thats why i said.. find the latest twrp flashable busybox.. busybox installer cant install busybox in magisk installed system. Simply because magisk use its own binary folder and not normal xbin or bin folder.
In twrp.. the installer just install busybox into xbin and symlink it properly.. so its the only working way for f2fs error phones like moto g5 and others ( where magisk module wont work)

thanks for the busybox explanation, illuminating, even if i kinda knew - have seen/used it on various linux-based boxes before (mostly routers). but yes, i'm still a noob.
as i stated at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magic-folder-binder-t3621814/page85#post75191777
, the @VR25 magic fmount now installed for me (the f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround-2018.1.1-NOMOUNT version). as did the magisk module busybox installer. so i assume i'm now good, and wonder why your situation is different.
i'm kinda psyched - if magic fmount works, the ROM is finally ready for prime time / actual use. thanks google for making it this hard.

Oh.. hahah.. its not actually google.. its moto.. they choose f2fs ( that too with out full permissions for third party apps) when i dig into it.. i found that the stock kernel wont allow magisk to mount image.
So only ways are..
1) use a third party kernel with proper f2fs patches
2) patch stock kernel with f2fs patches
3) use a different mount partion for magisk. ( Thats what done with the f2fs fix magisk module)
I tried it. Unfortunately. It wont stick after reboot on my stock os.
Btw.. u said u play with routers.. can you tell me a way to access ( with root permissions) on huawei e5577 pocket modem.. mine was locked to some carrier, unlock will never work, so i mixmatched firmware files.. and now its working .. but i have a problem with wifi .. the modem wont connect two devices in 2.4 ghz band.. but it works perfectly on 5ghz band... So i like to dig into its firmware. And check more

well, moto f'd up on f2fs, but google made the fundamental user-hostile decision to write data onto a hard-to-access partition, not give the user the choice. there could be a per-app menu like for notifications: store data on extSD / intSD.
good rundown on the f2fs bug. but my phone seems to have accepted the @VR25 workaround. (still testing magic fbind). at least the module(s) survive boots. go figure.
routers - don't know enough to help you. much like android - each box has a different set of problems based on hardware / firmware combo. i only buy routers that are known to behave well with opensource firmware.
debloating - anyone? what can we remove from stock ROM?
here is a list that i got from some other moto ROM's thread, assume ours would be (about) the same:
/system/app/3c_main
/system/app/Bug2GoStub
/system/app/com.motorola.android.nativedropboxagent
/system/app/MotGeoFenceSvc
/system/app/MotoSignatureApp
/system/etc/bug2go
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.dropboxhelper.jar
/system/priv-app/3c_checkin
/system/priv-app/3c_devicemanagement
/system/priv-app/3c_notification
/system/priv-app/3c_ota
/system/priv-app/IncrementalUpdates
but i'm sure you can take out more... anyone play with this?
there's a debloater as one of the magisk-modules:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-debloater-debloat-t3584163
but it doesn't run at least for me - first some permission issue, then "module not found." besides, it only provides an UI for removing apps, it doesn't have any opinion on what to take out.
EDIT: version 8 of the debloater does work. 8.2 doesn't.
Hi,
I love using Naptime app by Franco cause it installs a magisk module called GMS doze which enables battery optimization for Google Play Services.
Problem is this module only comes with Naptime app. So I want to have this module as a flashable zip, which would allow me to install without Naptime app.
I like the app but it doesn't work properly with my Android 11 device.
I know magisk modules are stored in data/adb/modules but they're not stored a zip there. So I can't get it out.
How can I get a magisk module out of magisk manager to have it as a flashable zip?
Thank you
By means of ADB you copy the module in question onto your desktop computer, where you then can insert it into a flashable ZIP it.
Alright Im new to XDA but not new to rooting. I'm hoping to get some answers with a glitch I have found. I have passed safety net no problems (I am rocking a oneplus 8 pro and its been rooted since I got it!) Until now! Magisk say api error , and other safety-net apps fail too! The weird thing is Netflix and my baking apps work no problems so I'm not to worried but it bugs the crap out of me! The troubleshooting steps I took was, I factory reset and rerooted (after hours of trying to find out what change) I went back to stock ROM and rerooted the phone and still cannot figure it out! I went ahead and put lineage 18.1 back on and hope I can find some answers later. Maybe I can get someone to check there safety net through magisk and see if its a me problem or a magisk problem. Thanks guy!
