Hi there. I was frustrated trying to find information on how to install Viper4AndroidFX on my Angler. I finally found some ways to do it, but they were not designed for compatibility, and they had weird problems because of how the 6p has its /vendor mounted.
I rewrote the install script so the installation is now only one step and works on both System and Systemless SuperSU root (and even Cyanogenmod, but only if you install SuperSU).
Requirements:
Rooted with SuperSU at least 2.60 Beta
Some version of busybox. The busybox included in Cyanogenmod works fine if you are on CM.
Instructions
0.) Do a nandroid backup (and include the vendor partition) before you flash zips from the internet.
1.) Flash the Zip
2.) Launch Viper4AndroidFX
3.) Choose a driver (HQ, regular, or powersave) and grant the app root access when prompted.
4.) Wait. This driver installation can take upwards of three minutes. Don't panic, and if Android asks you if you would like to force quit, decline and continue to wait. If it takes more than 5 minutes, try rebooting and try again.
5.) After a while, you will receive a message notifying you of the success of the installation. Now you can reboot.
6.) After rebooting, launch Viper4AndroidFX. If it is working, under
menu > driver status, you should see that it says
NEON Enabled: Yes
and also
Audio Format: Supported

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
(The picture shows what it looks like once you enable it in the options and start playing audio)
7.) On the 6P, you may have to reflash the zip if you install an OTA that re-adds a certain file that this script deletes in vendor.img. This zip should work on most phones, but the script was written in particular with the 6p in mind (due to the peculiarities of the vendor.img being on a separate partition).
Warning
When you do your nandroid backup before flashing the zip, make sure that you also back up the vendor partition.

Yes, my installer automates all of those steps and also fixes a problem with the su.d shellscript so that it works properly with both System-type and Systemless-type SuperSu installations. If you read his post, he says that people should change from Systemless-type to System-type, but this is wrong. It is due to a very silly obsolete path in the su.d shellscript. This zip is in every way an improvement on the Lolliviper zip referenced in that post (that zip predates the idea of systemless SuperSU installs, for one).
And I didn't mean the people or mods here are stupid, but that the forum software is annoying =p.
Silly question, updating SU after flashing this zip won't break anything?
Worked a dream pal. All running perfect through the latest cataclysm and Franco r6 kernel. Makes my Bose soundlink mini sound even better

Nope. I spent all night figuring out how to make this one bulletproof! I had to make it work with Systemless-type SuperSU because System-type SuperSU currently bootloops the CM13 January 6th Nightly (my first post on XDA!).
The reason why updating/reinstalling SuperSU will not be a problem is that both System and Systemless can load shellscripts in /System/su.d, which is where I put the shellscript that fixes V4A in SELinux enforcing mode. I know for a fact that updating Systemless cannot delete this file, since the Systemless install never mounts /system.
Maybe System-type SuperSU might delete the script? I don't know because as I said, it was causing bootloops for me. I don't think so though. If updating SuperSU System-type didn't mess up LolliViper.zip, it won't mess this one up either.
Thanks Dude
...and i agree. It's a stupid rule. In fact, I'm only posting this comment so I can someday post in a development thread. Can't wait!
The script itself took about a second for me and it's working perfectly. The issues on the other thread with systemless root were the reason I did not try installing this before. Thanks a lot!

I have had a weird experience with SuperSU on this phone. When I updated Cyanogenmod to the next nightly, it nuked Supersu systemless, which ostensibly exists in order to allow easier flashing of updates. But for whatever reason the update also wrote to /boot.

I believe the .zip I was using to get Viper working only worked with 2.61. I could be wrong though.
BUSYBOX... I am running Cataclsym. where do i got busybox that will work with systemless. Did a quick google and with all of the old info out there and new info got confused. Thanks guys!
EDIT: nevermind... i downloaded a busybox installed app and it seems to have worked. Thanks for the Viper mod!

All busyboxes should work with systemless. You only need root to install busybox. It's basically just a bunch of utils for apps that have root to use. Just get whichever off the play store and install. If you're on a custom Rom, you probably already have it. I have never used a rom that didn't have built-in busybox (although I did have Roms with malfunctioning built-in busybox).

You're wrong
I just suggested people use a super su that didn't create the su/xbin_bind because most everyone didn't realize all they had to do was just delete that folder and reboot...but now it seems like it's pretty common knowledge.
works great thanks!

Does Android Pay still work since V4A is installed to /system? I didn't even bother testing that because people were saying messing with /system too much breaks Android Pay. If it does work then I will kick myself because I didn't bother testing it. I could have avoided all the extra work I had to do get it working in my zip just to avoid installing V4A to /system...it could have been done so much easier if that is the case.

Nabi 2 ROOT Installer
Use this script to install TWRP Recovery, ROOT, and Google apps to your Nabi 2 tablet. Step by step instructions are included within the installer. While there is another more complex script (by aicjofs, and which was offline when I originally needed it), this one is smaller and simpler. It is based on jmzrootpackage, and I had some inspiration from Victoria's video. I started this with the intention of only making things just a little bit smoother. I ended up adding more than I had originally intended. This installer contains information through each step to help guide you through the rooting process. Linux instructions can be found here.
NOTE: (Jan, 2015) There are newer versions of the Nabi on the market now, and I do not have any with which to test this script, only the original Nabi 2. As a result, it is unlikely that this will get any further updates. The newer models most likely will not work very well, or simply not work at all with this script. If you are capable and so inclined, I officially invite you to use this script in your own rooting project. Just give credit where credit is due.
Summary:
Helps guide you step by step
ROOT your Nabi 2
Install Google apps
Will NOT wipe your data
No Android upgrading message
No wifi issues
Install TWRP
Simple update to TWRP
Reported to fix touch screen issues in TWRP
Includes ADB files
Automatically backs up before rooting
Includes PdaNet driver installer
New Remove Wings (for Nabi 2 v2.1+)

1. Check For Proper Drivers
Use this option to check if your computer has the PdaNet drivers communicating with your Nabi2. This is a simple check for existing connectivity. Nothing will be changed. This will also display your Nabi 2 serial number.
2. Install PdaNet Driver
In order for this installer to properly interface with the Nabi 2, you must have the PdaNet driver installed on your computer. This option will start the PdaNet driver installation process for you. Requires Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit). If you already have the drivers installed, you can skip this step.
3. Install Recovery and Root
This will install the touch enabled TWRP recovery to the tablet, as well as copy over the rooting file. Use the TWRP install button to select the rooting file and apply.
4. Install Google Apps
After your Nabi 2 is rooted, use this option to install Google apps. After it is copied over, use the TWRP install button to select the Google apps file and apply. Reboot the Nabi 2 (parent mode) and then update the Google apps to the current version of Google Play.
5. Update TWRP
Here you can choose from two experimental versions of TWRP, or drop-in your own custom version. You are given the options of testing and installing. That way you can make sure it works with your Nabi 2 before you flash it.
6. Remove Wings
This option only applies to Nabi 2 system version 2.1+. With version 2.1, Fuhu filled up the /system partition. As a result, there is not enough room to add Google Apps to the Nabi 2. Removing Wings will free up nearly 105 MB, and will allow Google Apps to be installed. You have the option of removing the files with or without backing them up first.
9. Exit
As you might expect, this closes the program window.
Misc. Notes:
Tested with US edition; With other versions you mileage will vary...

Does this method allow you to purchase and.or download apps from the Google Play store or is it just installing the Google Apps that have been known to work on the Nabi (sans purchasing apps from Play)?
Thanks
it worked!

Any idea if this would work on the first nabi?
Also does this leave the parent / nabi mode intact?
This topic may be dead but I just ran this script for my niece's Nabi 2 to get some better games for her and everything worked except for the Gapps. Flashed 3 times using the script and once using the custom recovery(flashed Gapps.zip). Can someone please help?

I do not have access to the original Nabi, so I cannot confirm whether it will work or not. Most likely it would not work. As for the parent/nabi mode, YES. The process used in this script does not in any way delete or remove your data or Nabi 2 system information. It only adds ROOT and Google apps. Once you have root you could remove whatever you want.

This topic is not dead, I've just been unusually busy this year.
Have you tried wiping the cache/dalvik before flashing GApps? Please post back with some information about your Nabi 2. What is your Nabi kernal #? Have you verified that root is functioning correctly? Is there enough free space available on your Nabi 2 to allow installation of GApps? Is there anything else that you have attempted but did not list above?

Firstly thanks for the reply. Secondly the Nabi in question just received a update in the software and while I was under the impression that it was a nabi one the software clearly showed that the file was Nabi2 update. So with that being said, does this root installer still work on the latest update?

With the latest update (2.1), there seems to be some changes in the Nabi2 that prevent the Google apps from properly loading. Everything else seems to work fine (meaning your Nabi2 still gets rooted). There are some custom rom's in the wiki that include root and gapps.
I am looking into a fix regarding this. I have a possible work around, but it requires manually moving some files. Although, I have not tested it yet so it may not work.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the "play store" that you said that you installed from the "everything nabi" website. I need the link to there, so that I can see what it is that you installed. If they have more than one version listed there, then I need to know which one you downloaded and installed.
You have Nabi2 Product version 2.1-release-keys
I noticed from your screenshot that the Nabi2 has a new entry: Edition NABI2-NV7A-US which does not exist yet on the one that I have here (which is much older).
Have you done anything to verify that you have properly functioning root on the Nabi2?
I remember that screen cover. A little window cleaner, and those white lines come right off. I actually used that as the screen protector for a while. Until I got an actual screen protector that fit the entire screen completely.
Simple answer is the system partition is full. Gapps and full 2.1.27 don't fit. Have to delete something to have gapps fit on /system. I discuss a bit of it here:

A new Beta version (1.5.0) has been posted. It addresses the full partition issue with the Nabi2 v2.1+ update, and introduces updated *.zip files as the beta element. For those interested, please read the updates on the first post, test, and post back your experience with it.
More would have been included, but due to unrelated RL issues I had to save the rest for a future update.
Well here's the continuation of BarRin. But now with ZV8!!

Bugs/Possible issues and fixes
To remove the Sprint boot animationIf you want to remove the Sprint bootani. Or just be able to install a custom bootani. You will need to do this:
1. In a rooted explorer, go to /carrier/cust/poweron/ and delete those files so the folder is empty.
2. Then do the same with /carrier/cust/poweroff.
3. Go to /system/media and delete the "Sprint_bootanimation.zip". Make sure you leave the "bootanimation.zip" in there.
4. If you don't have anything in the /carrier/cust/ poweron/poweroff folders, don't worry.
If you use Flashtool, they will be there again. That's the only way to get Sprintbootanimation back.
Read this post also. Cleanest install
This will give you the cleanest install without using Flashtool.
Of note, if you do this, when finished, you'll need to reinstall the ROM. The apps in /data get wiped. So you will be missing some stuff.
Bugs/Possible issues:1. This is gonna sound weird, but....sometimes it boots too fast and the lockscreen will freeze. Just give it a minute. All is well
2. The LG Keyboard, may not be able to be removed until it is updated by LG. It can't be moved to /data yet - Just be aware if you remove it.
Install, TWRP, ReceptionI don't know if it's a TWRP thing or not. Here's what I've seen, but it is few and far between but does happen on occasion:
1. As was said earlier, if you need to wait longer than 5 min to get the setup screen, you'll need to pull the battery. Then you can try and flash it again dirty, or do all the wipes again and it'll flash. Really weird.
2. Rarely, but when making a backup in TWRP, it'll take forever. I just pulled the battery, rebooted to the ROM, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then the backup worked fine in TWRP.
3. Sometimes reception just wont work. So update profile/prl and if it still doesn't work, reboot and update them again. That will fix it. And I'm using the rpm,tz partitions.
I don't recommend pulling your battery while in recovery, but sometimes you just have too. Just be forewarned you may need to use Flashtool to fix it.
I've been using TWRP 2.8.3 I think is the version.
SD cardsSD cards are becoming an issue for some reason. If you've followed ALL the instructions in the OP, and are still having issues, you may need to wipe your ext SD. And sometimes Internal as well.
Some people are using an app from the Playstore to fix SD issues. SeLinux Changer, and set it to permissive.
Remove your ext SD and boot up.
If the problems are solved then you need to format your SD card in Windows or Linux as Fat32 no matter what size your card is. DO NOT USE TWRP to format Ext SD.
RootIf SuperSU has issues updating it's binaries, you may need to flash This when you flash the ROM.
GSM UseSome people are able to use this ROM on GSM. YMMV and I can't/don't support this. HERE

This looks like my new home for a while.. cant wait to get into work so I can play!!

You couldn't just re-flash zv8 on top of it to eliminate the changes xposed made to /system?

This uses SuperSU by chainfire as default root app, correct?

If that's directed at me, yes.
That's the one Team Codefire recommends with Bump. So I'll stay with it.
Thanks a lot for this Engine. Hopefully theming Zv8 will go easier than extracting/assembling it did. A quick question... I flash the zv8 partition zip right before Barepop, correct?
Thanks
:highfive:

Ah crap, wouldn't that format data?
Since i already installed stock zv8 can i flash this over it?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks!
Followed the simple instructions and flashed with no problems.
Updated all and going to let stock run over the weekend before I try Xposed or any other customizations.

Typically, no. Not with AOSP and stock based KK ROMs. I don't know off the top of my head if @engine95 had put a data wipe in his install script to make the craziness that is L work properly.
Also, that SuperSU question was directed at you
Does this ROM have anything done to it to alleviate the 5.0.1 stock ROM issue of massive memory leaks that cause apps to close quite aggressively in the background? My brother has 5.0 on the Sprint S5 and his issue is actually worse than mine.
Thanks for this engine95 and the rest of team Stooge ?
Tried running ##Update# in the dialer when phone shut off it would not turn back on. I removed the battery for a min and tried again it still wouldnt turn back on. After 5 mins with battery pull phone finally turned back on. I dont know if this was just something weired with my phone or could been caused by the rom. Either way just thought i would bring it to your attention. Im currently up and running again with no problems. Thanks engine for bringing us Lollipop :victory:
Well here's the continuation of BarePapA. But now with ZVB!!

Thanks! I was just in the process of pushing autoprime's ROM when I saw you created this one. I'll test it out now.
Is the ZVB modem in your folder the same as from autoprime's thread? Any reason to NOT flash it along with the new ROM?

I never understood what those partitions were or why I'd need to worry. A while back I did a full wipe and nuked my whole phone, so I did a stock recovery using LG's tools and factory images to zv4, I believe, then went from there through BarePop and BarePapA. Coming from that I should be okay, right?

autoprime explains those partitions in his thread. But those of us on ZV4 bootloader seem to have issues with them.
It won't hurt anything to flash ZVB. And if there's issues, just flash back to the ZV4 ones.
ATM I'm still using ZV4 partitions.
Check out prime's thread fo some info on them.
You shouldn't have any issues. Just do a clean install As this is a whole new ROM
It's basically prime's rom with the fixes we like added. That's all. Bone stock with some sweetness.
V1 is in the works and it'll be starting on the cuts and tweaks. I thought I had it about ready, but it broke WIFI Calling so I need to start over. Gimme a few days.
So im using aosp rom and wanted to know if i can just flash the modem in recovery to update it?

Since this wasn't a major android update will NavelA kernel work with ZVB? I was asking because i know on my s4 i could do that with some updates that didn't have any big changes lol or would it cause it to not boot properly?
Edit: i tried NavelA kernel with Autoprimes ZVB rooted ROM and it works fine

At least one more. But not minimalist. Mostly weather, concierge and the LG tattletales.
But that'll all depend on what breaks doing it. I like to keep it all working if I can.
In post #2, I have added "Ad Blocking" and Stock host files. I absolutely hate ad's and the Blocking one blocks about everything, without needing an app. 2 problems though....
1. Some find them too restrictive and can't get to sites they normally would.
and
2. I seem to forget to remove it when I release a ROM. So these are here for... not if, but when I forget.
Is there a sprint changelog for zvb or something? searching about trying to figure out what is different in this update... appreciate all the time and work spent on us sprint folk. Thank You.

Just so I'm making sure i have it right, the blocking ones are in the rom by default? Just wondering because i just finished installing V1 and all my apps and I'm getting ads.
On that note, i just want to say thank you for yet again providing us with a smooth stable rom. For taking the time to make it and upload it for us. It is truly appreciated as i flashed the stock one this morning and OMG I forgot how much crap they put on these things.
Anyway, thank you for making my phone usable.

It's the regular ones. I'm almost done with V2, and yeah... I left them in there. But the regular ones are back in now.
Anyway, there's no issues flashing these back and forth. The host files that is.
Thanks. Glad to hear it. Yeah, I can't handle bone stock either. That's why I get these base roms out so fast.

Thanks. I briefly looked at source last night, and there's about 3mb more in size. So I would guess quite a bit has changed.
Also, because you called me out in it in the past, zipalign and sqlite3 aren't executable either. I tried a few different ones with no luck.

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Flashed Xposed on my SM-G530AZ with no problems at all
THANKS!
I appreciate this post a lot, because I guess nobody has a G530R except us and a few others. I find this strange, because you can get USCellular from WalMart with this phone for a little over 100$ and it is only 45$/month for a decent amount of data (and is unlimited after). Anyway, just wanted to thank you for this and ask a few questions.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions or any tips for backing up, to prevent data loss. I used ADB to create a backup that way, but don't know what way is best. I don't care about time and am used to command line, so that isn't an issue. I just don't know Android OS well enough or the backup systems to know what is going to create a complete backup. I was trying Flashify, but am confused about what it is exactly saving and what is needed to restore. I want to make several backups. 1 complete (all apps included) and 1 just the OS. I don't know what is necessary for just the OS and want to make sure that I don't softbrick my phone. I was thinking the backup I made with ADB would be sufficient, but don't know if that covers the AOS. I also want to keep an OS backup on my phone and want to make it as small as necessary, to save space and keep in on my sd card. I don't know which is the better route to go and how restoring works with Flashify, since TWRP and CWD don't work. Do I always need to use Odin or ADB? What is the difference between those? Any help would be greatly appreciated... ESPECIALLY, since, like I said earlier, nobody has this phone. Also, I don't know if I should use the newer versions of Xposed or not. I have heard that they need supporting software and want to keep it simple. Do you know any good rooted-apps? What Antivirus do you recommend after rooting? I have it narrowed down to Bitdefender, avast, 360, CM Security, Kaspersky, or Norton. I believe I am going with Bitdefender, due to the free version being comparable to paid versions of the others. I am great with computers, but want to learn all I can before moving forward. I thank you for helping me with rooting the phone! I have other OS Copies and don't know how to tell if they are good or not... Is there a way? Will flashing them possibly softbrick or even hardbrick my phone if they are wrong? It is just so complicated with a Samsung and having a USCellular phone, since I am also worried about losing my prepaid service and having to buy a new one (if I accidentally clear their info). Finally, are there any apps you recommend for improving performance? I pride myself in boosting Windows this way, but have no clue when it comes to phones. All of this is an attempt to get the virtual gyroscope module to work, so I can play some decent VR games (since they require gyroscope and the ones that don't have crappy graphics). Please let me know if there are any knowledge base resources specific to this phone or any apps, rooting kits, rom apps, or custom recovery programs that are out there that you use. I would greatly appreciate it! ... sorry for droneing, but I am just so excited to find someone else using this phone! TYVM for what you already have done!
Hi guy great looking post I've been searching for a guy like this but Google always points me to g530h or some other model do u have a working custom recovery as well I can't find one and can't port one to save my life I'm at work but I'll try this as soon as I'm home

I know I'm probably a couple years to late to answer your question I just couldn't help myself... First of all since you would be familiar with flashfire to complete this guide that is what you Should use to take your back-ups since it will take everyone of the backups you listed plus it will let you choose the format whether it be .img. zip .tar etc
Second antivirus I honestly don't run one and don't know many people who do on their modded phones.
Third since you followed the guide of The OP and run Xposed greenify and amplify are musts for battery performance I also personally love luckypatcher and if you play Google Play games you will too...
Also if you know computers as well as you say you do their are many guides how to create a TWRP or CWM recovery here on XDA so you could always just make one for this phone.... The only reason there isn't one is most likely because a developer hasn't got sold of this phone seeing as how u.s. cellular is such a small company... Sorry if this was for nothing I just felt like I wanted to put in my two cents

v3A
NOTE
The first boot will take a lot of time! Screen will be glitchy, bootvideo will be laggy and you may not even see anything except for black screen but this is normal and doesn't affect the device in any way. This only happens on the first boot because the encrypted kernel and bootloader try to reject the device but it boots anyway and everything will be OK in the second boot.
v3A
• Based on latest AndroidTV OS, latest Security patches.
• Google Play Works
• All Google Apps Work!
• Recommendations work great! To turn off go to Settings - Home
• Casting Works with Airscreen
• Fully Compatible with A95X Max!
• atvXed up with Multiple USB drivers!
v3B To-Do:
Add USB drivers
Add Navbar and Status Bar
Change Settings shortcut to TVSettings
Change App Drawer Wallpaper
Add some more preinstall apps

Rom is *meh*, as it completely throws away the stock android Oreo layout and switches to a straight up TV Box setup like a Roku. Most apk's refuse to work with this setup. The included Youtube app sucks and needs to be REMOVED FROM THE ROM as a system app or at least replaced with YT Vanced. Also, Chrome is simply gone...and you cant find it in the "store" either. The apk can be manually installed with a USB/SD card. Netflix app installed within the store does not work with this rom so its like what are we doing here?... but there is a work around. There is no option to boot straight to recovery either, if there even is one. We need TWRP for this to let us do what we want...Get rid of the Android TV BS and let people install their own launcher and you will profit more than just re-skinning the stock OS with this.
Then don't use it... I use it because of the Android TV layout. He was very up front in the beginning as to what this was and what would and would not work. No 3rd party box is going to work with Netflix or Amazon Apps at this time due to widevine DRM.
If what you have described is what you want, then by all means make your own ROM.

Rom is *meh*, as it completely throws away the stock android Oreo layout and switches to a straight up TV Box setup like a Roku. Most apk's refuse to work with this setup.

Read the title again maybe?
This is an AndroidTV OS and no it's not BS. Maybe it's only you who likes to use a mouse and keyboard on a tv. This is meant for those who don't want the airmouse BS and want a clean look, to have the real AndroidTV Box and not just a phone-UI Android Box and not the *meh* launchers that are meant for phone screens.
All apks work, if it works in the phone rom, it works in ATV. 'Maybe' you're doing something wrong or lack the knowledge of apps installation.
The google play store is meant for AndroidTV, it shows apps which are compatible with your remote, not mouse or keyboard.
Also, Netflix thing, everybody knows you need a Netflix certified box for it, it's even mentioned on their website.
And everybody knows you can use Aptoide Store for other apps that aren't on play store.
If you want your own launcher, go ahead make a ROM but please don't call my work a 'simple reskin' because I am working my ass off for a box that's totally encrypted to the core and has a 'meh' phone UI.
So, please don't think I'm playing copy and paste here, I've worked hard on this and if my work is *meh*, please use another ROM (if it exists).
Thank you for the feedback on v3A

Did I ***** and complain? I simply stated some of this rom's caveats and giving a heads up to people who might prospectively install this not realizing its going to completely change the OS to a dedicated Kodi box.
No browser at all? Youtube that you cant get rid of? If you dont like my opinion you can straight up not listen to it. I doubt you even installed it in the first place or you wouldn't be responding with your sh*t posts.

You can install Puffin Browser from Google Play. It's the best TV Browser out there, 100% remote compatibility.
It's pre-rooted, you can easily uninstall YouTube if you know what root means. AptoideTV Store is there to help.
I thought I included webXperience, It's our own browser. If I didn't, I'll do it in the next release which is going to shut everybody up because as I mentioned, this is the first release and the next will be address all the issues you mentioned and the features that I mentioned.
If you want a phone rom on a tv box, please go elsewhere because this is an AndroidTV thread, please don't argue here, the mods take notice of everything.
Thank you for understanding.

I am familiar with rooting aka administrative privileges over apps/os and have had many phones/tablets/matricom boxes all eventually rooted with either magisk or super su, some I actually paid for. This rom doesnt allow me to uninstall anything, just disable which is not the same. How can I grant root access to any app, such as bloatware removal tools? There is no root management on this thing. (that I am aware of?) and there is no recovery I can see to get into to flash anything besides the temp TWRP method with an sd card + paper clip which has not worked with anything on this rom.

Try switching on the root switch from settings and reboot.
Another tip, install SuperSU 2.79 and it will fix your root management issues.
The recovery is stock, just like the original ROM. Use quick reboot app to reboot to recovery.
If it still doesn't work, I'll double check and fix anything if wrong. As I said, this is the first release so expect issues unless you know how to fix things but don't worry, the v2B or v2F (whatever I name it) is going to fix all the issues. Trust me, you'll never feel the need to use Navbar and Statusbar again with the new build.

Switching off/on root switch doesn't do anything even with restarting.
SuperSu 2.79 does not successfully flash in temp TWRP with paperclip method or with stock recovery (see pic).
Since there is no root management, quick reboot and other root required apps install but dont work.
Ad-Away also will not save host files either, and I prefer to use that in combination with chrome over Puffin.
If I pissed you off with my earlier post, I apologize and that was not my intent. I understand this rom is pretty much in beta at this point but its very frustrating when nothing works for me, pretty much at all except for what worked with the stock OS.
FYI I have the v81 board.

You are not supposed to flash super su. Just install it.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't install either way (flashing vs apk).
All I can think of is to completely re-flash the new link firmware over my version I installed when you made it first available, maybe there is a difference?

Thanks for letting me know, it's strange it's not working for you. My friend reported it working. I'll fix the su in the new version. Meanwhile, you can flash stock rom because I don't want you to get any issues.
New build will be ready in a week or so and it's going to be great!
Thanks for all the feedback.

Thats fine, so now we know why I was a bit brash in my original post.
It still needs a bit of polish. Thanks for you work.

If you watch this video, you can see that Nicholas tested that the ROM is rooted. That's why I said, I don't know why it's not working for you.

Maybe you can try switching root switch off, reboot, then on and reboot.
I'll update the su anyway, nobody should be getting any problems but this box is one hell of a fighter. They've encrypted everything! I could only get access to system because kernel, recovery and everything else was encrypted.

Re-flashing the newer firmware link over last weeks firmware link allowed SuperSu apk to install successfully. Apparently we are good to go now...

Sweet!
Do lookout for new version as it will include these features:
1. Replace settings shortcut with TV Settings
2. Include pre-install apps like Web browser, Netflix and other apps.
3. Double tap home button for Recent Apps and use arrow keys to clear the apps.
4. Hold Power button for quick shutdown.
5. Add Init.d tweaks for more performance.
6. Add Back-Panic Button.
7. Hold Back button for assistant.
8. Add Navbar and Status bar functionality (if possible)
9. Add Gamepad drivers

I spoke too soon lol. SuperSu 2.79 installs after a fresh firmware flash but bootloops (waiting 20 minutes and still stuck on logo screen). Re-flashing and installing SuperSu 2.82 does the same thing. Oh well.
Re-flashing the image brings its back but just beware root doesnt work. I give up, good luck to everyone getting root.
