Hi!
I want to change the emojis in my oneplus nord 2, but I have read that I need to be root.
Any way to change it without root?
I thought to root the phone, but I have read in other thread that Oneplus nord 2 could have problems with root.
Thanks!
When rooting the phone, it can happen that banking apps won't launch as they can't validate your os.
As the emojis are part of oos, there prob. isn't a way to change this without tinkering with the phones root.
I believe there is a module in Magisk that makes changing the emoji possible (only possible through rooting).

Hey Guys,
so i have some questions i need answers for before i just go in and try to update my modded S9 to Android 9
My Setup:
Galaxy S9 SM-G960F Exynos
Messed up my ROM once and had no backup so i installed a stock one from SamMobile or something.
Edit: forgot to mention that i'm from germany. i think there are some region specific FWs so keep that in mind.. im not sure which specific ROM i installed but it should be a stock rom with correct region and model number.
TWRP installed.
Magisk v17.3 with Manager v6.1.0 installed with following modules{
Systemless Hosts,
YouTube Vanced v13.34.50(b01.25.00)
}.
I have bxActions installed and mapped my bx button to 4 actions{
NavBar->Back,
NavBar->TaskManager,
NavBar->Home,
Google Assistant
}.
i modified my build.prop so my NavBar isnt visible for more screen real estate (thats why my bx button has these mappings).
I applied some black and red theme for GBoard and overall system Theme (status bar and whatever... settings menu and stuff).
Im also using AdAway (thats why i have the Systemless Hosts module installed in magisk).
SafetyNet is no Problem. i can use all apps i heard i could have problems with when magisk not properly installed{
Pokemon GO,
Snapchat,
Google Pay (although it doesnt work correct recently... might be a problem with my PayPal tho),
Banking App etc..
}.
I also started app dev with flutter with it via USB-Debugging if thats somehow important to know.
My Questions:
Since im not able to Update via OTA.. how can i update to android 9 safely without messing up my setup?
What does work after the Update and what doesnt? TWRP ****ed up? build.pro mod gone? magisk?
Is it even worth it to update?
oh and while we are at it: since knox is tripped some features like secure folder etc dont work. any alternatives for something like a password secured folder or similar?
Thanks for your help
The title says it all... does anyone use GrapheneOS? Thoughts? Likes/dislikes?
Are there any phones that are better for it than others? I was looking at the Pixel 3a.
Hi sniper8752,
I know you question is now a few months old (i hope i'm not to late for my answer).
I guess cause there are nearly no xda GrapheneOS threads a question such yours running under the "radar".
I'm on, well let's say, GrapheneOS in examination marks because i don't use the OS on my pixel 4 xl as the dev intented it.
I don't know whether you were on the GrapheneOS website in the past. According to the website you should install GrapheneOS once over fastboot and lock the bootloader again to get the AVB fully working again.
That give you the most security cause you can only boot GrapheneOS and install GrapheneOS Updates over the build-in updater app.
But from my knowledge you can't install EdXposed or Magisk then cause you change partitions and AVB blocks the booting process then.
So i'm using GrapheneOS as normal Custom Rom and unlocked Bootloader to be able to use Root with Magisk.
That why i say i'm having a GrapheneOS in examiniation marks
From user view it's a clean Android 10 ROM without (!) Gapps etc. This won't change cause it a Rom for people which care about privacy and security.
What i really like too are the facts that it explicity apply the full security patches on the supported devices (which are only the pixels) and that it uses a securized kernel and some other under the hood security improvements.
I'm using the rom (stable channel) since a few days now and it's runs totally smooth and i didn't find any bugs
so far.
Atm i'm thinking to offer unofficial builds from the rom with according Magisk pre-patched boot images here on xda. But i'm not completly sure about that.
Edit:
And i forgot still one thing: The support from GrapheneOS for a device ends if google stops the support for it. Again the reason is security: Some parts of your device gets updates through the device oem. GrapheneOS can't cover this so the dev doesn't support the device anymore.
All in all GrapheneOS has another philosophy then most of the custom roms here on xda. It doesn't want to extend the lifetime of devices. It want to gives the user a more privacy and securize-friendly rom during the lifetime of device.
Hey mate - did you manage to get for example Google Photos running if you add MicroG? (in terms of Backup).
I am still not able to ditch that (at least until my full backups from the Pixel seize to exist Jan 2021 I believe...).
Mind you that the Google Photos works just fine on CalyxOS with backup functions operating.
GCam works on both (Graphene with a Services spoofer apk). Still secure.
CalyxOS using the MicroG.
Graphene OS does not allow me to use Google Photos's backup function. I've read that if I backup using Titanium root and then deploy in Graphene (with root) it should work. Using your method + Magisk maybe I can make this work ...
Battery life on Graphene has been epic for me ...
GPS was very slow and sort of inaccurate on both ...
For all else I am perfectly fine with both.
Hello I would appreciate some help fixing an issue.
Please excuse my lack of knowlage, I will try to give adequate info. If more info is needed let me know.
I have a Oneplus Nord N10 5G "unlocked" (I believe that means global) Build# BE86AA Model# BE2026 Android ver. 11
The phone has been rooted since October 13-20
I cannot recall the tutorial I followed to root. I do have TWRP and Magisk on the phone. With Magisk 23.0 I passed SafetyNet (I used the built in SafetyNet Checker Via Magisk)
A few days go (Feb/18/22) I updated Magisk(24.1)/App(24.1) Via the Magisk app. I no longer pass SafetyNet (I used Root and SafetyNet Checker from "BetterOpts")
Magisk 24.1 no longer has Magiskhide
Now I cannot play Niantic's game called Ingress.
A message pops up saying "Ingress is not supported on this device configuration"
I had no issue when I had Magisk 23.0 (using magiskhide)
I googled that message and found that Niantic searches for root/rooting apps.
I have messed around with "Magiskhide props config v6.1.2" changing device fingerprint, force basic attestation.
Nothing seemed to help so i Reset all options/settings
I have read many horror stories of people hard bricking or causing more damage by trying to revert/unrooting back to stock.
I think i did a dumb and did not backup anything from Pre-root.
I saw a few posts on reddit/gaming.stackexchange people saying outdated SupperSU caused them to get the message.
I do not have SupperSU.
Another person they deleted a folder called "MAGISKMANAGER" and that solved the message.(this post was back in 2019)
I'm not sure if they unrooted and thats why they deleted the folder.
I couldn't find a folder with that name.
A lot of posts I found all say "Use Magiskhide"
But Magiskhide has been removed from Magisk24.0+
I did a search (using files app) and found Magisk.apk(s)
Magisk_patched
and Magisk-23.0.zip
I'm not sure if should delete these. Not sure if deleting (or moving files to computer) would cause problems on the phone at next reboot.
I am no rooting expert so again please excuse my ignorance. again if more info is needed please let me know and i will answer to my best ability.
Do you recommend a Hide Root App/Mod?
Should I install Xposed Framework via Magisk?
Thank you for your time and advice
Edit:
I am very stupid. I found kdrag0n safetynet-fix from Github.
Downloaded the latest release (2.2.1)
Installed Via Magisk app
Rebooted
Ingress works
I'm thinking of leaving this post up. It might help someone?
If you still need to upgrade to Magisk 24.1 then study at least the start of this thread. Maybe not for now but in the future.
Magisk 23 and lower will not be supported any longer.
Wonderful new week for you !

I saw that thread right after i made my post.I thought about deleting the post. I'm sure there will be other people who will update without reading beyond "New update" and hopefully this will find them and steer them toward getting their device up and running.
For anyone curious.
Go into magisk settings, use the option to change magisks package name.
Then enable Zygote mode.
Reboot your phone.
Go back into your now renamed magisk app (mine is usually named system because who the hell looks at an app named system and think "this is the malicious code, I know it!")
Open your magisk app, go back into the settings and look for the option that says deny, click it and look for the app you're gonna hide from magisk.
If you're looking to use something like Pokemon go, click it twice so that way Zygote rejects both checks.
Now go be a pokemon master
Hello,
I recently installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6 and I want to use XPrivacyLua on it. But when I install and activate LSPosed (1.8.3) and reboot then it says there's no LSPosed installed. But in Magisk it is loaded together with Shamiko. Shamiko works fine, but I wasn't able to use LSPosed yet. Does anybody know how LSPosed can be used successfully on GrapheneOS?
Thank you,
Oebbler

you lose more for the little gain you get by using xprivacylua. also graphene os isn't meant to be used with root since you defeat the main goal of the os itself: security. it hardens several aspects of android to make it more secure, and that's why things like lsposed won't work.

That's a redundant and absurd thing to say. First of all, grapheneos objection to root is realistically tied to support burden and public impression rather than anything practical. Second, root doesn't threaten security if used responsibly. Third, root is HELPFUL for security when used competently.
Now for the other thing... lsposed... avoid like the plague.
Thank you for your answers!
The thing is that I cannot avoid LSPosed for XPrivacyLua on Android 12. I really want to use it in order to avoid tracking by getting IDs and other data from my device. So my question still remains on how to make LSPosed runnable.
I tried to install it with Riru. Riru was telling me that LSPosed is loaded, but the LSPosed app told me it cannot find LSPosed. It seems the same as with LSPosed on Zygisk. Is there any way to get LSPosed (or maybe EdXposed) working?

Please read this about ID's: https://grapheneos.org/faq#hardware-identifiers
Thank you! This sounds good, but leaves something out which I also want to do:
I want to allow access to particular contacts for some apps only. And maybe in the future it should be possible to hook some other methods (with XPrivacyLua Pro) that apps use for things I don't want them to do. So I think I cannot avoid LSPosed, EdXposed or something like that. How can this be achieved?

Contacts permission does not need any additional hacks to be denied.

Unless you're running GrapheneOS via yellow state boot loader (and you checking the finger print each boot), I can't take claims of "root is insecure" quite seriously.
I don't want to deny contacts permission at all, but I want to allow only certain contacts to be seen by some apps. So I want e. g. Telegram or Signal to only see the contacts I am using in these apps. These aren't the same so Telegram's and Signal's access to the contacts list need to be hooked in order to provide individual faked/manipulated lists to these apps.
And maybe in the future some apps do a call to e. g. some app-internal ID which is used for tracking, so I want to hook that later on.
To me it doesn't matter if there are other hacks available to do these things. I'd just like to do that with XPrivacyLua Pro. So how can I get this working on GrapheneOS?

I don't think lsposed will ever work on graphene os. for that you will have to switch the os

Applications don't just have access to root if you make it available to yourself. Again, its about the USER being competent and not just granting root permission willy nilly like a total retard. Nice try, but NOPE.

I have never used a Pixel phone, but I am strongly considering a Pixel 6 now. I want to root the phone using Magisk **and** I want to successfully hide root. Furthermore, I want to be able to install some modules in an Xposed-like framework such as LSPosed, and I want the existence of that XPosed-like framework also to be hidden. Ever since Android 11, it's been complicated and confusing to figure out how to accomplish all of this in a reliable manner, given the latest changing versions of Magisk and given the various root-hiding mechanisms that are now offered, and which are also now still in development.
There is a huge amount of information about this general topic in the following threads ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/page-2689#post-87696219
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-unofficial-third-party-magisk-fork.4460555/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lsposed-xposed-framework-8-1-13-0-simple-magisk-module.4228973/
... however, there are collectively more than 50,000 messages in this group of threads, and for me, this fits into the category of "Too Much Information", especialy given that much of this info is contradictory, with different people reporting success and others reporting failure, and different people reporting slightly different versions of the same procedures.
The reason I'm posting here is that I'm wondering of anyone has successfully accomplished what I'm trying to do with a Pixel 6 under Android 11 or Android 12, and if so, whether that person (or people) might be willing to share a straightforward, step-by-step, cookbook-like set of instructions about how to accomplish all of this from beginning to end.
By "beginning to end", I mean to start with a brand new locked Pixel 6 and to install all of the software and features that I described above, with the end result being a reliably rooted Pixel 6 (with root reliably hidden) running some sort of XPosed-like framework under Android 11 or Android 12, and which can be consistently rebooted with no boot loops.
If that is considered off-topic here, I'm glad to take this into private chat.
Thank you very much in advance for any help that you might be able to offer.
What he said, but instead of android 11 or 12, give me one for 13 please.
Oh! I somehow overlooked the following thread when I first came here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nlock-bootloader-pass-safetynet-more.4388733/
It covers a lot of the information I'm looking for.
I will soon dig into that thread in more detail, and if it indeed ends up explaining everything that I want to learn, then I will abandon this current thread.
But for the moment, I'll keep this thread alive.
I can confirm my rooted Pixel 6 running 13 passes SafetyNet check and is certified in the Play app following those instructions. However, Google is not using SafetyNet to check for an unlocked bootloader in their apps anymore. GPay complains about device security and there are some apps that I can't download. Netflix, Hulu. Other than GApp and having to sideload Netflix, I don't have any issues.
Here's a thread about the new security check.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/discussion-play-integrity-api.4479337/
anyone having issues with some apps detecting root even after magiskhide should try the shamiko module. helped me
few stupid questions regarding rooting my pixel 6 .....
1) its new unlocked phone, should i have the new SIM in phone when rooting, does it matter ?
ok to put it when its done ?
same question for being signed into Google account when rooting, does it even matter, either way ?
2) is there a way to get the pixel phone transfer to show back up, or a way to access it ?
Its very easy for me to transfer all backed up data from my current Pixel 3 that way...
3) can I still run my banking & crypto apps once rooted ? I have read conflicting reports on this... elsewhere that is.
Thank y'all for the awesome information ya provide on here, and Thank You in advance if you have any input for me rooting...
Its amazing how far along we've come along since my bag phone

1. No, yes, no
2. Yes, kind of
3. Yes with safetynet module and magisk deny list, and sometimes magisk props.
Read @Volatyle's and @Homeboy76's guides. Great info in both.
It would be better if you explained what your end result is. Hiding root can be very difficult; depending on the app requirements, simply having an unlocked bootloader can be enough, because an unlocked device will always fail hardware backed attestation.
If you're simply trying to get apps like Google Pay to work, you should need to do nothing more than install Displax's modded USNF module, and enforce DenyList on the Play Store and Play Protect service.
If on the other hand you're trying to use apps that specifically detect the presence of Magisk, then you may need to hide the Magisk app. As far as hiding the presence of root itself, I am unsure as to whether any app without root privileges can detect whether an SU binary is installed. Someone like @pndwal would know better than I would.
