Hi everyone
I'm going to install lineage 14.1 on my phone and i wanna ask if it is necessary to install SuperSU before that or not.
If you want to install SuperSu you must install it after flashing the ROM.
And I suggest to use Magisk instead of SuperSu.
Rooting the phone is always useful (AdAway, Camera2API, Greenify, etc.), but it's possible to use it without root, too.
You can use DNS66 instead of AdAway, integrated battery saving options instead of Greenify, etc.
Thank u

Hi all.
I just got my le max2 and I really enjoy it. I updated to the latest version to get the Ota and more included features, but I really want to find a way to remove all of the pre-installed apps from the le eco. I don't speak Chinese. Thus, I don't need them at all.
Is there a way to remove them without reflashing to a different rom?
Thank you
If you want to keep the OTA, then you can't remove the unwanted apps because you need root to do so. Rooting will break the OTA.
If updating manually is not an issue for you, follow the steps to install TWRP TeaMSpaiN 3.0.2 for 5.8 kernel, flash SuperSU, install any root file manager and delete the apps, or use Titanium Backup to do the same.
I am on stock 016s with apps deleted, works fine and I like EUI.
Point of this post(boring stuff )
In your stock ROMs you are pretty much stuck with the preloaded craps unless you root your device. Now you might not want to root your device for various reasons. For instance, almost all banking apps do not work on rooted devices. A way to tackle this is to use systemless root access provider like magisk. But unfortunately magisk requires Android 5.0+. So we need some other ways for our devices running Android 4.4.4 right? Well, fortunately there is a very simple method for debloating any stock ROM(I personally tested this method on Lenovo A6000 PLus but this should work on any ROM out there).
Note: You need a custom recovery for this to work, which can cause serious harm to your device if you do things incorrectly. You are also tweaking your device's system partition, so you might void your warranty. If anything happens to your device, its your responsibility.
Let's get started
Step 1: Download the "pico" gapps package from opengapps.org. For Lenovo A6000/Plus running stock kitkat, select arm,4.4,pico.
Step 2: Open twrp recovery.
Step 3: Install the pico gapps package that you just downloaded.
Step 4: Reboot your device. Now you will find that most of the google apps have a green icon with android logo(if you are using lenovo launcher). Just remove those apps.
Done
So, Which apps are removed?
Pretty much every apps are removed except Google Play Services, Play Store, Gboard and Play Newsstand. You can disable Newsstand and the security app(which does nothing but eat up space and resources) if you like.

Dude, 1st thing, you said this method needs a custom recovery which means you have to root the device at first or lest consider you just boot twrp using fastboot
And flashing gapps will remove the obselet gapps, and it won't remove the other oem bloatware present so actually this can't br called "Debloating"
Debloating doesn't mean removing gapps, debloating is the removal of useless or apps which can be downloaded from play store, included in the ROMs

Yes you have to use fastboot method but you don't need root access for that and as for the "bloatware" you are referring to, it's any unnecessary app that comes pre-installed with a device which you can't uninstall. Keeping aside the gapps there are only 2-3 apps that fall into that category, which you can just disable as I mentioned. In a device with 8gb or 16gb internal storage every bit of free storage counts. At least it's better than being stuck with all the apps in the first place.

If you update to the latest Magisk version (v16.4), you will notice that it will now pass SafetyNet check.

I think it's just as good as SuperSU in handling root apps. The way Magisk stands out though is the modules. I would recommend that you install only the magisk manager (it does not mess with anything in your phone if you just install it), and browse through the list of modules it has. It's very similar to the way modules in xposed look like. Maybe you can find some interesting functionality in there.
I am using the greenify module (works much like boost mode on xposed), busybox, adblocker, systemiser (turns user apps in sys apps), debloater (completely uninstall user apps). There's a ton of mods though, I don't even understand what most actually do.
Keep in mind that having xposed installed will break safetynet no matter what. Magisk can't hide it.

Edit: i moved this issue to the Q&A and help section since more issues keep coming
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/finally-decided-to-switch-supersu-to-t3787201
just switched to latest stock rom (1.2.0 B10) and installed magisk (16.4). it works and safetynet passes. the problem i got now is that the greenify module fails to install in magisk (see screenshot)
do i gotta flash the module through TWRP maybe? still a newbie to magisk since the axon 7 is the first phone to have it working
EDIT: for some reason magisk doesn't remember which apps have requested root after a reboot. everytime i reboot i get a prompt to allow root access to all my root apps (like greenify). idk why this is happening. i mean, root itself is working as it should. i already uninstalled bloatware and disabled/freezed things like the powermanagement
I'm interested in knowing where Magisk is at
Hello!
I'm trying to make the eToken app from BCR work, but I can't find a solution.
Right now I am running Magisk 21.4 with Manager 8.0.7 with LineageOS 17.1 I have to specify that I am using an Xiaomi Mi A2.
If anyone has a solution for this, would youmind helping me.
Thank you!
Hey @HellFire_Wolf ,
Just fixed today try and follow below steps.
1.restore magisk manager with original package.
2.disable hide app.
3.reboot.
4.rehide magisk manager.
5.rehide app.
6.reboot.
It works for me now, OnePlus7T Pro
Now I see the comment.
But do you have a custom rom?
Atm I'm using dotOS
No, the stock one, rooted, and Magisk as a SU
Dh magisk hide works to hide the root on a strock android but for etoken to work it says you cant use root, unlock bootloader and use custom roms. So I hide bottloader and magisk, but what about the othwrs
I haven't used custom rom's, so can't help you more.
I sugest to get the RootBeerSample app from playstore then hide root in Magisk, then check what is detected.
Also double check that you hid magisk from system, not only root from apps.
It changes the app package to a random one and hides some specific checks that most apps use to check for Magisk.
Ik about magisk hide but didnt know about the app. I'll try it Thanks!
I can run any custom ROM but when I root with magisk, I get the camera error/black screen from Snapchat or just trying to take a regular picture with gcam.
Is this because the root was detected? Would it be better to root a non Google ROM and flash gapps?
That sounds like its got to be a coincidence.
Try grapheneos. If you need gapps, they have a very specialized sandboxing system to protect your data from gapps invasiveness.
