[Q] Superuser Question - Omni Q&A

Does OMNIRom have its own built in Superuser app? I've been using SuperSU and every time I flash a new nightly I need to flash an update to SuperSU. Whenever I flash that update, I have to wait 15-20 minutes for the optimizing app process. It's really annoying. Any alternatives?

Not yet. We may never include a superuser app by default as it's easier to just flash it from recovery and then enable the backup script setting of SuperSU than it is for users who are running apps which don't allow rooted devices to remove it.
I've never had SuperSU updates cause any app optimization delays except for, at most, 5-10 seconds to optimize the SuperSU app itself.

I recall you once said that adding SuperSU to Omni was planned and that it was all down to Chainfire and him having time to get an open source version out. I guess this is cancelled?
On a sidenote, I've always found it interesting to follow the dev process as a simple enthusiast and not an actual dev/programmer. I enjoy reading about the reasons behind Omni team's decisions. The what/how/why etc(not when; I know, no ETA). Sadly, such info is hard to come by, except in your posts which are most of the time very informative.
I was once thinking of making a thread about a collection of such posts made by Omni devs around xda; a sort of insider view about why this feature did/did not make it etc. But that would take too much time, and would amount to stalking the devs and every post they make.

Fixed by getting pre-rooted ROM -> [Q] G900FXXU1BNL9 root problem

Hi guys,
I've been trying to get Lollipop running properly on my G900F, but there's a problem with my root access - when I start an app that needs root, it takes too long for the system to answer the reques which again makes the app time out. Obviously, this makes it hard to restore my backup from Titanium, but after I manage to run it after lots of swearing, more than a reasonable number of reboots and a little bit of swearing it will still be too slow to give root when running automatic backups. I've tried autoroot, I tried applying the update zip and I've even managed to lock myself out by causing system ui to hang on boot. I'm on my third wipe now and I figured this won't get better by itself and it's not because of a bad ROM update...
So...could someone please help me with how to fix this?
Cheers!
Titanium still not work with lollipop..
For your su problem, you can go into su app and click on the # (right near the apps) and give them su access

Thanks for replying I actually went with a pre-rooted ROM which seems to work fine. Giving access manually probably wouldn't have worked as it didn't work after I got titanium into the list and even set the timeout to five minutes :S

Latest version of titanium backup works properly with lollipop. What superuser app do you have? I recommend latest SuperSu zip.
I used the latest SuperSU update file and flashed it through both CWM and TWRP. Must have been something with the image - the one I got now works perfectly both with supersu bundled and if I use the update file.

[ROM] LG V10 H901-10c Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed ROM - Clean & Stable

Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed H901-10c ROM for T-Mobile LG V10 (LG-H901) - Clean & Stable
Thanks go to @Rydah805 for deodexing the stock ROM and being my guinea pig while I was fixing all the broken features.
Thanks also go to @KOLIOXDA for being my guinea pig while troubleshooting installation issues.
Features:
WiFi Calling works with Xposed (even in Airplane Mode)
Second screen works with Xposed (no more force-closes during calls)
No spyware (Adapt Client and Carrier IQ removed)
No T-Mobile apps
No Google apps (except Play Store, Search, Text-to-Speech, and Google Play Services)
Stock LG boot and shutdown animations
No boot sound (boots silently)
No Chrome customizations (Chrome homepage no longer forced to t-mobile.com)
Stock recovery restore disabled (does not overwrite TWRP on reboot)
External storage permissions fix (all apps can write to MicroSD card)
WiFi connectivity fix by @ZDeuce2
AOSP Emoji font
Over 100 additional alarm, ringtone, and notification sounds from Nexus and Samsung phones
Busybox 1.24.1
SuperSU v2.65 stable
Stock 10c kernel and boot image
Download (built Feb. 08, 2016): https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FE4478E2ABDFD5FC!1082&authkey=!AMAKMBsK8gCEhH0&ithint=file,zip
Changes in this build: Updated SuperSU to 2.65 stable.
Before you install, read below:
Safe to install over stock ROM (odexed or deodexed), no need to factory-reset, unless you're compelled to do so by your inner demons.
Compatible with Xposed v79-sdk22-arm64 and later (sdk22-arm64 ONLY). Do NOT install any earlier versions or other variants of the Framework. You must use Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4.
Compatible with P_Toti's G4TweaksBox.
Compatible with the LG Apps Theme Engine.
The T-Mobile Device Unlock app does not work on this ROM and is not included. The Play Store version does not work, either. To SIM-unlock your phone, flash the stock ROM, unlock (SIM-unlock is forever and not ROM-dependent), then flash my ROM.
To get back Google and T-Mobile (except Device Unlock) apps, install them from the Play Store. They all work. They were removed because system apps are not Greenifiable, plus they were causing problems when deodexed.
If you use an ad blocker that modifies your hosts file (such as AdAway), you must reapply your ad-blocking filters as this ROM overwrites your customized hosts file with a stock hosts file.
Do NOT install the "Second Screen Fix" ZIP, second screen works fine in this ROM with and without Xposed. The "Second Screen Fix" is only for odexed ROMs and will break the second screen in this ROM.
This ROM removes any mods you have installed. If you want to reinstall them, they MUST be made for a deodexed stock ROM. Mods for odexed or non-stock ROMs may cause force-closes or a bootloop (flash them at your own risk).
If you're still seeing My T-Mobile, Lookout, or the other apps in your app drawer after installing my ROM, those are updates that have been installed from the Play Store - uninstall them manually like any other user app.
DO NOT USE "FIX PERMISSIONS" IN TWRP. TWRP has no idea what permissions are correct for your phone and will screw them up, resulting in random force-closes in various apps. If you did it, you will need to wipe the entire /data partition (not just factory reset) and reflash the ROM.
If Hangouts crashes when you receive a message or call, it's because it can't find one or more notification or ringtone audio files. Go into your phone's Sound settings and re-select your notification and ringtone sounds, then go into Hangouts settings and re-select the ringtone and notification sound for each type of notification (Hangouts call, Hangouts message, Google Voice call, Google Voice message, and so on).
DO NOT INSTALL PowerNap/WakeLockManager. You will get random reboots and corrupt internal storage, since WakeLockManager randomly hard-crashes the entire ART virtual machine.
To disable the OTA notification: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66304926&postcount=1002
Installation:
WARNING: Do NOT install over a custom ROM. You will get a bootloop/force-close loop.
Copy ZIP file to phone.
Boot into TWRP.
If clean-installing, factory-reset the phone. The installer wipes the system partition automatically.
Install the ZIP.
If you want Xposed, install it now (use only v79-sdk22-arm64 or later).
Reboot.
WARNING: Do NOT install mods for other ROMs on this ROM. You will get a bootloop/force-close loop.
Do not reuse this ROM without my permission - ask first and give credit where it's due!
Enjoy!
PS. I will begin work on the Marshmallow version of my ROM once we have an official way of flashing TWRP on the Marshmallow bootloader. I want the upgrade process to be "Flash the MM KDZ, install TWRP, flash my ROM." Until then, sit tight!
So we don't factory reset or wipe anything? What if we have mods flashed as well?

No Factory Reset OR Wipe,just flash over what you have ATM.
Make a backup of your present set-up before flashing though,just in case something else pops up.
EDIT:
Removed my previous statement regarding mods/add-ons,they'll need to be re-flashed & only de-odexed mods will work per siraltus (ROM OP)

If you have mods flashed, this will remove them, so you will have to reflash them - but only if they're made for a deodexed stock ROM. If they're made for an odexed or custom ROM, they will likely not work, so flash at your own risk.

EDIT:
A flash over a factory reset would probably work,I don't see why it wouldn't,but,it's probably not necessary.
I didn't reset or wipe anything & I'm doing just fine.
I don't have Xposed or any sound mods installed,but,my bet is you shouldn't have any problem flashing over a set-up with Xposed or any other mods.

The ZIP wipes the /system partition automatically so there is no need to wipe it manually.
In fact, if you wipe it manually, the ZIP will fail because TWRP will lock the /system partition for an unspecified amount of time and you will need to reboot TWRP before installing the ZIP.
If you want to clean-install this, then do a factory reset, reboot TWRP, then install this ZIP. I updated instructions in OP to reflect this.
Thanks!! I'll be checking this out shortly!! :highfive:

Is it possible to change the DPI of the ROM without all the stock apps going crazy? I'm not sure of the status of xposed so I'm assuming thats outta the picture right now

The ROM is fully compatible with Xposed v79 SDK22 arm64.
No idea about changing the DPI. I don't recommend it as it seems to break things on this phone.
Dear Sir. Altus,
Thank you for the clean upload, and directions. Currently I am running Rydah805's deodexed rom that you were kind enough to work on fixing wifi calling, etc.
My question is: Is this rom different from Rydah805's V. 1.2.2 as stability and features goes? Would you recommend dirty flashing it over his rom?
Thank you all for your hard work and Happy Holidays
Best,
Bob

You're welcome. Yes, you should flash this over his ROM. I took his deodexed base and fixed everything that was broken in it (WiFi, Hotspot, power management, other stuff), and rather than cluttering the old thread, I started a new thread with a 100% tested build and clear instructions. I debloated and debranded it, added a few useful modifications, plus I made about 30ish corrections to broken permissions and SELinux contexts that were likely causing problems in his ROM that we had yet not discovered (the power management stuff was likely not functioning properly due to being denied proper privileges). Read the OP for a list of features and modifications.

You're welcome. There is no need for that, second screen works fine in this ROM with Xposed and without. The "second screen fix" is only required on odexed ROMs. Updated OP to reflect this.
I'm having this weird issue where the screen will become tinted, almost like there's a pop-up or the notification bar is pulled down. It'll usually go away after a second or if I tap somewhere on the screen, but it's kinda frustrating.

Modified ROM with encryption and SOME Samsung functions like Edge

I want to customize my phone software to get to the following:
- Get rid of the Samsung look (found a topic on Reddit to return to pretty much vanilla Android look)
- Use encryption for /data
- Debloat, I want to get rid of sh1t like S-Planner and S-Health
- I want to keep SOME functions like Edge
- Any handy tweaks are welcome
So I have been looking at what's available. I discussed Helios and SuperStock, which both should be able to use encryption but I haven't been able to get it to work. Then there is Systemless. From what I understand it's a custom rom lite with SOME tweaks and debloating of apps that are installable from Play Store. Would this be what I'm looking for? I'm still hoping for some nice ROM that supports encryption ánd has a nice Aroma installer/debloater as it will save me a lot of time. But does anyone know of such a ROM?
Alternatively I found a script to use to debloat on command line, will take some work. I can use that, keep stock ROM with encryption and not have any usefull tweaks.
I really like the hardware but I want encryption! Advice or tips on this subject are welcome.
For some reason, a lot of people prefer to disable encryption just so they can use things like TWRP to back up data. If their phone gets stolen, welp............................their girlfriends nudes are released to everyone and possibly their own nudes but oh well lol.
Anyway, your best bet is to root a stock ROM and slowly tweak it yourself. Start off with root, then flash TWRP without disabling encryption so you can flash mods still. Then flash for example the dual speaker mod, then move on to installing xposed. Once you have root, just use Titanium to disable things you don't want. Freeze them rather than deleting them.
Most UI tweaks are nonsense which either involves using a more power hungry kernel/keeping cores at a higher speed. Most battery tweaks involve disabling some UI fluidity. Stock ROM is a good place to start.

Moving to Mi A1

I have always rooted and used Titanium Backup to set up a new phone but this time I want to leave it alone, more and more apps are checking for root and certified/uncertified, last week I could not even get a PizzaExpress app because it needs 6.0+ & unrooted (had to unroot my old S2 on Lineage), I have decided I want my banking apps back and other things I lost over the years, so no root or customising (yet! hehe).
With that in mind what is the best way to restore, obviously Google will take care of a lot of it but things like call logs, sms, bluetooth, some app data, in the past I would selectively use Titanium to restore anything I found missing but without root, what to use? Helium, mi mover or something else.
My S4 is rooted but stock right now so calls, SMS, rejection lists even wallpaper is synced with Samsung, I guess there will be no way to access these backups from the A1
You can root via Magisk. It doesn't break the SafetyNet. Moreover, you can hide it from certain apps. All the banking apps work if you root via Magisk.

I did see that and did think about it, it's been a bit cat and mouse hiding root for years now and I can only see it getting worse as android secuity ramps up, I thought I would keep this phone clean as long as I could resist
I might go with the root, I could always remove it again I guess.
You will not resist for a long time, you know that, all of us know that
I bought this phone today online and expect to receive it within days and I was thinking exactly like you, then log on to XDA 10 minutes ago searching for rooting threads to be ready when I receive it

When it arrives, it should come on N, so I guess I could root it with Magisk, get it up and running how I like it then restore the boot image, remove Magisk and allow the O OTA and everything will be 100% stock again?

I just installed Titanium Backup without installing busybox and it works. (Busybox maybe included in the custom ROM I've installed, I dunno).
I think you are being unnecessarily cautious about Root. Almost all the banking apps work even when Magisk is installed. You can enjoy root without worrying about the safetynet.

I'm comfortable with root now after loads of reading of that thread but was just being cautious no to allow any app to change the system folder once root is running.
I also see this method of root cant be used on N so my idea of rooting / restoring / unrooting and upgrading to O will not work so I will just upgrade to Oreo / root / restore and then decide if I want to keep root or not.

Yup, you can upgrade to Oreo, root, and restore.
Also, if there are any issues afterwards, you can always flash the official fastboot ROM by MiFlash Tool without wiping your internal storage.
IjazCI said:
Hi there, you could root with magisk , restore your data then flash stock rom through mi flash tool . Make sure to select the "save user data " option before flash. This way you will be 100 % stock and take ota's.
I suggest you to enable the camera 2 api using set prop method by flex1911 ( the one which doesn't uses magisk) before flashing stock rom.

Help needed! Rooted device can't install apps from play store nor even update!!! Me is desperatly looking for instant help

Ok one by one... I have a Mi 9T rooted, but not really a custom rom, Just a very special version from Xiaomi.eu, to make it perfectly clear I am running Android 10 MIUI12.3 version 20.12.9/10 according to xiaomi.eu website. As recovery Im running Sky Hawk Recovery Project 3.0. It's rooted with magisk canary latest version and I also needed edxposed to be installed. Sorry for being so unclear I sincerely apologize for that. Of course i formatted data to get this setup running. I thought I'd know my stuff its a bit embarrasing for me to ask for help, but im very frustrated. Excuse me. The system was as far as I know runnning fine, sure i experience some lag here and there but the playstore thingy is getting over my head. Also the playstore no longer autoupdates my apps, i must manually start the update process. Does anyone has any idea what i can do in this case? Wiping cache and dalvik maybe. I would be super gratefull for any kind of advice!!!!!!! Have a nice day and i will update the OP Post as soon as something relevant happens......
Kind regards from Germany,
Florian
Edit 1: I managed to install one or two apps now, but they were rather small and it took forever to get the job done. Downloading as well as installing. Any help would be highly apprciated!
Edit 2: Added a detailed description of my setup and specifcations, just the title was too less info....
Use another device with Playstore to download them then use ApkExport to make an installable copy. Simple transfer that to the victim phone and load.

First of all thank you for your reply it means a lot to me.
I prefer using playstore because its plug and play and i get my updates automatically. The situation has somewhat deescalted now, it took a while and I mean a while I have my new launcher now and all apps are updated and installed. But still, my mi 9t is very unresponsive if not to say laggy, even in standard ui things. Any hellp????

Nor familiar with that device.
Try clearing the system cache for starters.
You really don't want Playstore autodating.
It will kill apps and cause of kinds of problems especially when it jams a bunch of updates down your throat.
Keeping a copy of all your apps and system updates speeds reloads and means you always have a known good copy.
I don't use Playstore after I do a factory reset as I already have the apps I need. Takes 20 minutes instead 2+ hours of goofing around on Playstore.

It will kill apps and cause of kinds of problems especially when it jams a bunch of updates down your throat.
Keeping a copy of all your apps and system updates speeds reloads and means you always have a known good copy.
I don't use Playstore after I do a factory reset as I already have the apps I need. Takes 20 minutes instead 2+ hours of goofing around on Playstore.

Thank you, but what do you mean by cleaning the cache? Like in TWRP? I prefer SHRP but i know under the hood its just twrp doing itÄs magic. What do I need to clean exactly? Even dalvik? Thank you thousand times!!!
PS: Please excuse my noobishness...........

I'm not rooted... it's not always desirable and is a gravity well for time.
On the boot menu there should be an option to clear the system cache.
Uncleared data there can cause erratic operation.

Kind regards,

Update: I managed to install one or two apps now, but they were rather small and it took forever to get the job done. Downloading as well as installing. Any help would be highly apprciated!

The title absolutely does not say anything useful that somebody can help you. Supposidely, you have Mi 9T (since posting here).
But which ROM, rooted how (preinstalled in custom ROM, or you installed and how, which Magisk or what, etc).
What does it mean 'no standard bootloader'?!
If xustom ROM, do you have GApps or some open source replacement?
Me and ton of others have 'rooted' Mi 9T with Playstore working with no issues
Sorry but seeing your post (new member, no info whatsoever, the unusual problem itself), you must have done something terribly wrong
If you installed custom ROM, did you (it's a MUST) FORMAT Data (not just Wipe - it's different thing in TWRP, and I'm not talking about wiping System etc) - one of the typical newbie mistakes?

Ok one by one... First of all thank you for your quick reply! I indeed have a Mi 9T, but not really a custom rom, Just a very spceial version from Xiaomi.eu, to make it perfectly clear I am running Android 10 MIUI12.3 version 20.12.9/10 according to xiaomi.eu website. As recovery Im running Sky Hawk Recovery Project 3.0 and the thing about no standard bootloader may be a misconception on my part. It's rooted with magisk canary latest version and I also needed edxposed to be installed. Sorry for being so unclear I sincerely apologize for that. Of course i formated data to get this setup running. I thought I'Äd know my stuff its a bit embarrasing for me to ask for help, but im very freustrated. Excuse me. The system was as far as I know runnning fine, sure i experience some lag here and there but the playstore thingy is getting over my head. also the playstore no longer autoupdates my apps, i must manually start the update process. Do you have any idea what i can do in this case? Wiping cache and dalvik maybe. I would be super gratefull for any kind of advice!!!!!!! Have a nice day and i will update the OP Post as soon as I can!!!!!!!!!! Promise!

Ok, I'm on Xiaomi.eu, too, but weekly (hence the latest 21.4.28, Android 11 beta, MIUI 12.6 - believe me, it's good).
With Magisk Canary, too, and I previously used SHRP but returned to TWRP (but that doesn't matter)
Xposed (not using) may cause you issues with SafetyNet and therefore with Playstore - you may try uninstalling
But yes, if you did Format Data (really Format, not Wipe), then first go again to TWRP/SHRP and Wipe Cache and Dalwik. Rebooting will take a time, be patient
If it won't help, uninstall Xposed and leave the clean Magisk
Also, I remember that there was a problem with Playstore not working - I think in some CN firmware and therefore also in some Xiaomi.eu version, but I don't remember details, hence don't know could it apply to you
Actually, reading your answer again, is your Xiaomi.eu 20.12.20 also their old Weekly (but four months old) or the so-called Stable?
And is it really Android 10 (but with MIUI 12.3)?
I don't recall now but I think that I switched from a Stable Xiaomi.eu (but from 20.11) to Weekly 20.12 at around that time, and that it was MIUI 12.3 but also already Android 11 (and I didn't have any problem with Playstore - actually never with my stock EEA MIUI 10-12, Stable Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12, Weeklies Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12.3-MIUI 12.6 - and I'm also always on the latest Magisk Canaries)

In Google Play, go to YT app, top-right, three-dots menu, Disable Auto-update (only for YT, not for all apps).
There is a Magisk module to detach apps from Google Play (did not use) and also an app (find info in XDA Vanced thread) to detach (did use, but found that just disabling auto-update for YT is enough for me)
Few years ago used Xposed last time, but yes, uninstall modules, reboot, uninstall Xposed, reboot
