There's no reason really, I just managed to get magisk to work on an android wear device as a proof of concept and wanted to share it.

adjust kernel settings with kernel aduitor?
Nice, I thought about doing this myself but unfortunately my g watch met an untimely demise, I still update SuperSU tho since I know that works fine and didn't need to test it first. Good to see someone is still keeping this watch alive!
BTW this method should work on all watches, SuperSU does anyway.
i got it rooted well it sasy tis is but i want to change the bootanimation to match my PN one i have the file pushed to the watch but i cant put it in the /system/mesia location it says its read-only. can you help me with that thanks
Would this work on a other android wear watch? Like Sony smartwatch 3? Or is it trial and error?
Help me please . I'm a user from China and now my watch doesn't work anymore. The thing is, I didn't use it for a couple of months, now it just can't charge. When I Link it to my computer,the gwatch recovery tool can't find my devices. what should I do . Plz
Hey the op should be updated to say use magisk v12 as magisk 13+ requires manager 5+ to work
This also works on ZenWatch2 running latest AW2 update
Does this mean we can also use Magisk to change system-level things, such as boot animation?
Will this work on the LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition LTE (W200A) and does android pay work with Magisk installed?
Post removed
Thanks @TheDevFreak.
It still works. I tried with Latest Magisk Version v15.3 & APK - 5.5.5.
Note: In the app, you have to set Automatic response to Grant under Settings. Because Root Access dialog not showing properly to click Grant button.

The note you noted has been in the OP since I made it
Here's a tip if you can't reach the settings menu of magisk: Activate the zooming option in the system setting. On my TicWatch I have to tap three times and it will zoom to the tapped area. By that I was able to reach the settings menu.
Does this also works on Magisk 17？

Hello,
The mega link for Magisk manager v4.3.1 apk & local.prop does not work anymore
Would someone have another link ?
Thanks
Before starting (if you have SM-G973F NEE, you can use my prepatched/generated files and save 2 million years in preparation, see the guide at the bottom of this page):
1. Root and flash Magisk: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/samsung
Note: remember to use the button combination when booting/rebooting, and also remember to use internet when compleeting the android wizard when it runs.
2. Flash TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ecovery-twrp-3-3-0-galaxy-s10-exynos-t3924856
Note: remember to use the button combination when booting/rebooting.
3. Create your SmaliPatch: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053
Note: ALSO check "Magisk Reboot (Galaxy S10)". Keep the default checks.
4. Install generated SmaliPatch in Magisk and then reboot.
The actual guide:
Note - again: remember to use the root button combination when booting. Yes, this might be solved by our SmaliPatch, but i would´t trust it when going out of TWRP and so on, so to be on the safe side, always use this combination.
1. Download and install F-droid: https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
2. In F-droid, install "Amaze (Manage local files)", and "Termux".
3. In Amaze: Go to settings and check "Root Explorer" under Advanced. Grant root for Amaze in Magisk.
4. Download and install "Aurora Store": https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397955190
5. In Aurora Store, install: "Titanium Backup"
6. Download NanoDroid: https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/
Or download the one I flashed here (and skip step 7, 8 and 9): https://mega.nz/#!rrIXSSLZ!4dV5Qx1W0hJXFbnY8heYcAUmOEWmkgdzcnfb2DhtRgo
7. Open the downloaded file with 7zip (right-click, 7zip, Open archive), and right-click on ".nanodroid-setup" and click on Edit
8. Change "nanodroid_gmscore=0" to "nanodroid_gmscore=1". This is to install MicroGs original GMSCore, and not NanoDroids (which is good, but did not work 100% this time). Documentation on alter installation can be found here: https://github.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/doc/AlterInstallation.md
9. Save and close ".nanodroid-setup", and 7-zip should ask you if you want to update the changes in the archive. Click yes. If this does not work for some reson, just drag ".nanodroid-setup" to the desktop, modify it, save, and drag it back.
10. Copy your modified NanoDroid zip into your phone (Download folder).
11. In Amaze: copy your NanoDroid zip in the Download folder to "/data/". This is to be able to access this file from TWRP later.
12: Debloat: run debloat.bat. This script keeps the launcher and a few other things. It keeps the apps that i think is the most essential, but removes Samsung Health for example. You can modify if you know what you want and how to do it.
Download here: https://mega.nz/#!62YHFSaS!di_HY7ceHMgfKyRfpTOnLgFoviWub0MCojrLyH4Jnho
13. In Titanium: uninstall "Play Services" and GMS, and GMS policy-something (don´t remember the package name, but search for gms). Titanium might seem to "hang" on uninstalling some of these apps, if so, just reboot and continue. This is normal.
SINCE I FORGOT THE PACKAGE NAMES, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF THE ONES THAT APPEARS WHEN SEARCHING ON "gms"? I will update this guide when i know what the exact names are.
14. In Amaze: click Root(/) in the menu, go to "/system/priv-app/", remove these dirs: GMSCore, GoogleServicesFramework, Phonesky
15. Reboot into TWRP, mount "/system" and "/data". Flash your NanoDroid file located in "/data/". Do not wipe cache. Reboot to get out of TWRP.
16. Launch "MicroG Settings". Click on permissions warning, and let Android get all permissions it asks for. Then click on "Google device registration" and turn ON (check). Do the same for "Google Cloud Messaging".
17. Still in "MicroG Settings" app: Click on "UnifiedNlp Settings", then on "Configure location backends", then check the checkbox (allow location permission if prompted). Do the same for "Configure address lookup backends".
18. Open the terminal that you installed in step 5, and run this:
Code:
su
Grant root access if prompted, otherwise, to go magisk and grant root for "shell".
19. Run these commands:
Code:
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
20. In Aurora Store: install "push notification checking-fix" and run. Run the new installed app, then click "Confirmation".
21. Go to "MicroG Settings" again, click on "Google Cloud Messaging", check if "Current State" is NOT disconnected (something "connected" is good). Not connected? Reboot and do step 20 again.
22. Install Afwall and lock your sh*t down.
In AFwall, I also go to "Preferences", then "Experimental", click on "Startup directory path for script", then click on "/system/etc/init.d/", then click on "Fix startup data leak".

Nice to see development for the S10 - maybe you should move the post to the ROMS, Kernel, Recoveries Section.
As for improvements:
First that pops to mind, maybe you should credit the people who made Root, TWRP & Smali.
Second, which Pie version (ASD5)??
Third, maybe some pics.

Thanks for your feedback. I have added credits and firmware information.
I wanted to post in dev, but I was not allowed due to too few posts.
Great work! I am about to take my privacy back as well but I have some questions:
- Will the same method work by flashing microg packages from official project, instead of flashing the nanodroid package you mention?
- Is it possible to encrypt /data folder and lock bootloader, so if telephone gets stolen there is no way they access your data?
- How do you handle OTA updates? Do you need to run the above guide every new OTA update?
Thanks!

Sorry for a late response.
Good on you! Since you asked almost a month ago, I guess you have already proceeded? In that case, what did you do?
Well, this was an early way to take your privacy back for s10, but time has changed and new ways seems to be avaliable now.
For one, there is a custom rom out there that use Aroma to debloat, but I don't know if it removes g stuff (I asked but the answer was vague, to say at least).
The other thing is that the encryption stuff has been improved too, and other things that makes the root easier to live with. Like updates that you mentioned (maybe not ota, but not custom rom updates with latest security patches).
I will have to take a look at this soon, because the way described in the main thread is causing some problems with WiFi and Bluetooth. Not unusable but my watch and headphones has to be re-paired every time I reboot the phone. And no updates. Except for that, I have been very pleased with my setup the last months.
I will make a new thread or update this when I know the steps to take our privacy back with the new roms and what not. Wish you all luck until then!

Ok. I'm new to all of this - could I follow the same steps for a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model to achieve the same Privacy while being able to use Samsung One UI combined with full S-Pen functionality? If this is possible and just so I am on the same page, I could also completely remove GAPPS/Google Play Services and replace with MicroG? If the method to achieve this is different on a Note 9, do you know if there are any Instructions? Thanks again.

It should all be the same. For specifics have a look in the N9 forum (I don't own one, so for specific steps I can't help).

Long time since last post - so I have not found that and start a simular thread. Sorry for that.
Debloated stock -without Google apps- for best performance/privacy
One word ahead: I am a huge fan of Custom Rom (LOS). Nevertheless some feature will be missed (volte) and performance might be not perfect (camera, dolby) due to proprietary firmware. On the other hand I like to keep away from data collecting...
forum.xda-developers.com
I am wondering whether you have done updates from the initial Android 9? Bringing Magisk/TWRP to the device is rather complex, so how all that behaves in terms of security updates. How to spoof a A11?
fresh installed the latest version android x86 8.1 r3 on a 2nd partition on hard drive
selected NO on read & write during installation
read some were that that disabled Root and SuperUser and wouldn't install
ran Summoners War and tried to update the game and received a message " Deactivate the root authority in the system settings "
image>https://photos.app.goo.gl/jMZw7wLmHotcqU2VA<image
then i did another fresh installation with the same android x86 version and tried the following
1 / Enable Developper Mode (tap 9 times on build number on the settings)
2/ On the developer's options, enable full root acces.
3/ run the terminal emulator
4/ use the followings commands :
> su
> rm /system/bin/su
> rm /system/xbin/su
5/ Reboot your device.
6/ Return on developper's options and disable root acces.
7/ Reboot again
Now your device will be full unroot.
and that didn't work still have the same message while trying to update Summoners War
any other options on how to install android x86 without root ?
when trying to use these
> su
> rm /system/bin/su
> rm /system/xbin/su
in the terminal it says files are missing . i gave up on that quick and moved on
well i disable the root access in the Dev mode and under account settings i saw that SuperUser was already gone thought that might of solved my problem then i rebooted and tryed to update Summoners War and the same Messages came up " Deactivate the root authority in the system settings "
will try to use some app to UnRoot android x86 8.1 r3 will report back tomorrow
have you solved this problem? I have same problem with the sky go app
Hi, I solved this problem following this guide:
asdasd.page/2018/02/18/Install-Magisk-on-Android-x86/
This guide let you install the latest release of Magisk. I try and now it hides root to the apps. Ask if you don't understand something.

thanks

An app what is interested in fact whether Android is rooted or not simply searches for presence of su binary: if present Android is rooted. It's all so easy.
Even Magisk includes a su binary.
This may do the job:
Install SuperSU app, if not done yet
Run SuperSU and go to its Settings
Choose "Full unroot"
