There are two kinds of root methods. System and systemless...
System method makes changes to your system partition while the systemless one just changes your boot partition to get the root.
Normal xposed works with system root but not the systemless root so we have systemless Xposed.
As for advantages or disadvantages, I can't say much on that topic
Magisk is a way to obtain systemless root on devices (Chain fire SuperSU can also provide the same thing).
Until version 6 of magisk, the magisk app had a toggle inside the app to turn root on or off anytime. It had the advantage that if an app detected root and did not run, you could just toggle the switch and use the app. Quit the app and turn root on again.
Beginning with ver 7, this functionality was removed. Can't say anything about it now. Have not followed it in a while.
As for installing it, google it and you can find many tutorials on how to do it.

Is there a way to add this option ?

I was wondering if it is possible to add the option "restart" to pop up menu next to "airplane mode" "turn phone off" and "take a screenshot"?

If you have root, the xposed framework has an "Advanced power menu" module you can install. That is just one of many solutions but unfortunately you can not add it on to stock without root as far as I'm aware.

You can have both root and stock. Rooting doesn't necessarily mean you need to install a custom ROM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 with this tool. its very simple and easy to use.
Thats what i do, keep stock rom, root so i can debloat the stuff i dont want or need and use xposed modules to customise. With all the great modules available i dont feel the need to change roms anymore.
GravityBox an Xposed Modul can do this.
And a lot other modifications to make the stock rom perfect.

How can I install GravityBox and Xposed Modul. I've never read anything about them.
Bear with me this is my first sonny phone lol.
Pardon my ignorance.
Cant remember exactly how i got the xposed framework app, i believe it was prompted from within unicon which is also great module for icon changing
You need Root and the Xposed installer (apk), which will install the Xposed framework
I rooted using easy root method (search). Then backup your TA. Then install/sideload xposed apk (search). It's very simple. Everything takes about 15m.
Root + xposed + stock rom > custom rom
You can also try towelroot (which is just an app you run) to "1 click" root. That takes about 1s. Didn't work for me on the z2, but it has worked for others.

[TUTO] xposed on ODEX rom; yes it's possible now! (and with knox 0x0 too!)

You don't need to do the complicated process of deodexing your ROM yourself or installing a deodexed Android 5.0 Touchwiz ROM any more prior to installing xposed on our A-series now!
I am however not responsible if you brick your phone; please know the risks of continuing.
Note: this is for Samsung 5.0 Touchwiz only as based on arter97's thread [UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for Samsung Lollipop by arter97!
For 5.1 & 6 please go to Wanam's thread [UNOFFICIAL][5.1.1/6]Xposed for Samsung Lollipop/Marshmallow.
For non Samsung Touchwiz, go to rovo89's thread [OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow [Android 5.0/5.1/6.0].
For older versions I have no clue, please search the xposed general section.
Warning, this installation needs like 500MB on your system partition to do the conversion (below installation overwrites the system Odex files etc).
Debloat your system partition if necessary! This is really important, otherwise you'll end up in a boot loop!
You can do this with for example GS4 Lollipop Debloat which also works on our devices and SD Maid (thanks to Twiq for this tip in his post)
Debloating is now optional thanks to dkcldark, but it still doesn't harm to clear up some space and get rid of some apps you don't need.
As always, backup everything first, and you might want to have your original ROM zip ready to flash with Odin just in case of.
There is 2 possibilities to get it, one if you don't mind knox counter going up and another one if you want it to stay at 0x0.
Option 1:
knox 0x1, warranty void
This is the easiest one.
Root your device if you haven't done already. Kingroot works great!
If you haven't installed a custom recovery, do so; search the General section of our devices forum to search the TWRP that fits your particular device. Note: I've read that TWRP 3 might cause some issues, so might be better to have version 2. This was at the time of writing; issues might be solved by the time you read this.
Install the xposed installer from this thread. I used XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk.
Flash xposed bridge from this post through your custom recovery (make sure you have enough space on your system partition, see above). At the moment of writing it was xposed-v79-samsung-test.zip dkcldark's update to v85; download his .zip file from his post here to your phone. This one isn't yet mentioned in the OP as it's a test version.
Clean cache & dalvik.
Reboot. First reboot may take a while.
But after that, xposed is installed!
If everything worked, please report back to arter97's post with a screenshot of Xposed Installer -> Framework with your model number and firmware version as described in his post. And while you're there, buy him a beer! This will benefit future development.
Option 2:
knox 0x0, warranty ok
This one is a bit more complicated as it won't use a custom recovery (which triggers knox).
Root your device if you haven't done already. Kingroot works great!
But Kingroot can't work together with an app we need below, FlashFire, so we need to transform it to SuperSU. Install Super-Sume Pro from Play Store.
Follow on screen instructions of Super-Sume Pro to get SuperSU working.
Mr.W0lf has an alternative option to replace Kingroot by SuperSU through Terminal Emulator here and here (I haven't tested this myself though, so read the complete thread and do research!).
Install the xposed installer from this thread. I used XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk.
Install FlashFire from Play Store
As FlashFire has some issues with setting permissions of the odex files from the test version of arter97 right, MatrixDJ96 has created a zip which sets the permissions right in this post. Download this xposed-v79-samsung-test-matrixdj96.zip on your phone. dkcldark created an update to v85 with MatrixDJ96's FlashFire fix included; download his .zip file from his post here to your phone.
Open FlashFire, click on the "+"sign, select Flash ZIP or OTA and select the zip file you just downloaded. Continue in next screen; click the "+"sign again and select Wipe. Only select Dalvik cache and Cache partition here and continue.
Go to the bottom of the screen and click on the big Flash button (make sure you have enough space on your system partition, see above).
FlashFire will reboot the phone and start doing it's magic; this might take a while, and first boot too.
But after that, xposed is installed! And you still have your waranty on your phone!
If everything worked, please report back to arter97's post with a screenshot of Xposed Installer -> Framework with your model number and firmware version as described in his post. And while you're there, buy him a beer! This will benefit future development.

Great thread, a quick howto guide to get your device running xposed framework from stock unrooted. And thank you for putting me in the credits, it's feels good that when you know someone is actually reading your posts :victory:
Just a suggestion tho, there will be some people who haven't upgraded to lollipop, and maybe (unlikely now, but maybe) some already upgraded to 5.1.x/above. They will ask you whether these steps could be used on their setup or not, i think you should anticipate that too

Thanks for the comment, added remarks about non 5.0 Touchwiz versions!
And yes, apparently unlike a lot of people on this forum, I'm a reader, I first gather a lot of info before I even think about flashing anything or ask a question!

I have no experience with 5.1 yet, but you could use the same steps as above but with Wanam's framework:
For 5.1 & 6 please go to Wanam's thread [UNOFFICIAL][5.1.1/6]Xposed for Samsung Lollipop/Marshmallow.
Hi.
Given that SuperSUME is now costing 4,50€ (which seems excessive for me, 1/2$ would be acceptable) do you know if using the alternate metod consisting on using a terminal emulator and a zip file to convert Kingroot to SuperSU would trip Knox?
Thanks for you tutorial.

AFAIK you wont trip knox as long as you don't change your recovery or kernel..
How can one know exactly how much free space there's on system partition to check if I need to debloat or not?
EDIT: Found out. Thanks anyway.
Took a gamble with about 300MB free on System and no problem
Just to report that it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the tutorial!

I've yet to get my A3, just researching what I want to do to it when it arrives. xposed is on the list.
If I root with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/galaxy-series-cf-auto-root-t3280406
Can I then follow the rest of Option 2?
Many thanks.
Edit - as that method installs SuperSU I am assuming Option 2 will work - correct me if I am wrong

Yes indeed, but I think that method also trips knox so you could also install a custom recovery and go with option 1.
I prefer not to trip it and keep my warranty, thus option 2 with kingroot, but that's my personal preference.

Stop Apps Detecting Root?

Hi Everyone,
Alot more apps seem to be detecting root nowadays, and after Googling solutions I can't seem to find anything that works anymore.
I used to just deny the app in SuperSU but this doesn't seem to work anymore with the Sky Q app and Android Pay.
Im currently using Pixel.
Does anyone have any apps or methods?

Use Rootcloak Xposed module to hide apps detecting your root. Add apps that you want to stop detecting root.
Download it from here. You need to install Xposed framework.

Unfortunately both Xposed and Rootcloak not supported to android Nougat.
You can use hide my root app developed by amphoras to hide root access. Download from play store. I don't know it supports android Nougat.
Developer not given information about Nougat compatibility. Try and see
If it helped. Please thank me.
Iv already tried it, didnt work. Hopefully something comes up soon

Use suhide app developed by famous android developer chainfire.
It can hide root on per app basis.
It is in experimental stage and it supports to android Nougat.

Someone earlier have found out that if SafetyNet has to be passed on Xperia devices, UBL or LBL is both okay, but most importantly it need an untouched /system, no root, no Xposed. Just the stock system.

Try Rom with out root [ROM][N950F/DS/N][ALEXNDR] * U4CRGA * DevBase v5.9 * Encryption support Case 3 - do not root device
(place "noroot" string anywhere in the ZIP file name, e.g. "N950Fxxx_DevBase_v5.x_noroot.zip")
