Hey guys so I had a REALLY hard time rooting my Sony Xperia Z3 phone without breaking BL and then installing Xposed was also a nightmare because the system wouldn't go writable. So I thought I'd document my experience for others below and what I did to over come after much google searching.
It begins: The flash
So flashing the phone was a nightmare and it will be for you to if you use Windows 8. I followed the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056 to downgrade my kernel to a rootable version of Android KitKat. However I couldn't get the flash tool to see the phone. To overcome this I had to install the flash tool drivers (Which are in the flash tool folder) installing flash tool drivers and Sony Xperia Z3 drivers in the list. To over come this you will need to disable driver signature verification or the install will fail. Guide on doing that here: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Once you've done that you can install the root in the original guide no problem. Installing Xposed Framework is another matter because you will probably find that you receive an error regarding unable to write to system or mount it as readable. To fix this some suggested downloading ES File Explorer and mounting the system there. This didn't work for me either because it just came up with an error after popping up SuperSU for permission. So to fix this I searched for "Mount system ro/rw" in the Google play store and it's very easy just one click on RW and you're done! go back to Xposed and you'll find that you'll be able to install the framework in system. Here is the one I downloaded: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.superthomaslab.mountsystemrorw&hl=en_GB
I thought I'd write this because all of this information seems scattered across the internet and hopefully it will help someone else and save them a day and a half of headache. Good Luck!
Thanks for the guide.
The RW permission may also be obtained by flashing RICDefeat.zip at https://github.com/dosomder/SonyRICDefeat by using recovery.
Seriously? You must not have flashed a lot of phones. Flashtool is a breeze compared to other ****s out there, it only gets a bit harder because of windows 8. Once the drivers are installed you are good to go.
HTC phones, on the other hand....
I had Samsung and HTC for the last few months (and Z2/Z3 of course) and I can say one thing...
Sony is the most user friendly among all the others...
We have Flashtool and awesome devs that are working fantastic things for us...
For us, users that have Xperia devices for a long time, flashing ftf, setting recovery and rooting Xperia with a tools we have is a few minutes task...
Xposed is working without any problems also

You are lucky to get Xposed working on Lollipop, lots of users are having a nightmare trying to get it to work without avoiding any bootloops, just look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/lp-mini-deodex-t3076490

Funky what did you do for working Xposed? I didnt tried it yet, i dont have Time to reinstall my Phone if its not working even tho i think i get it working but i rather wait until its stable or someone confirms it
It's actually very stable and it's working without any problems on ARM7 cpu...
Luck has nothing to do with it....Rovio69 has
Simply install xposed framework shell and restart to recovery.
You have to flash xposed-arm-20150308.zip from recovery because you can't install framework from xposed like we used to do...
And that's it...
The only flaw is : when you restarting device you have to clear davlik cache - and that's really not that difficult..
Here's the link for two files you'll need (both are from Xposed thread and are Rovio69 property - not mine)
If you need any help, tag me and I'll come

very well I knew that.. but for me when I clear cache every time I reboot the modules are active but not working.. for example "20 MP superior auto" ... I'm using xposed especially for this module.. I hope there is a way to make 20 mp in superior auto without xposed

You need to have proper setup, then 20MP Superior Auto works with exposed and you don't need to clear Dalvik and cache on reboot.
First you need working root, recovery and full rw system.
Second you need SELinux permanently set permissive, as it blocks 20MP Superior Auto module from working.
First and second you can achieve by installing Xzdualrecovery.
Third you need to remove lot of Sony crap from firmware. There are two threads by @serajr and @moly82 who made debloating zips that you can flash. Unfortunately we don't know yet which of this many removed apps causes bootloops.
So once again, Lollipop, root, Xzdualrecovery, SELinux permissive and massive debloating makes Xposed working.

Which "wipe cache thing"?
That you need to wipe cache after Reboot.

When? With Xposed? You need to run debloated ROM.
Yes with xposed, what you mean with debloatet, without bloat apps?
Better wipe dalvik cache.

Yes, there are minimally 4-5 threads on this topic. As Xposed for Lollipop is alpha, there are probably compatibility problems with some apps. Removing majority of Sony apps (like Lifelog, small apps&framework) and Google apps (Books, Movies etc.) makes it better, removing bootloops with some modules (20MP Superior Auto for example). However, we dont know exactly which app or apps are causing that problem. So majority of people remove just everything except essential services and some camera add-ons.

I got it working..
Post #6
May be we should make a list of what modules are currently working on our lollipop moto e to keep a track.
Some one reported that xinternal SD is working.
This type of list will help all. What do u say??
Any one who got a module working can report here.
I read the comments youtube adway was working,,I didn't tested it on my moto e,will report and update the status soon..
Sure if anyone finds it can report I don't have any problems..
Not working on moto e 5.0.2 tried it yeterday, it flashes correctly via twrp but when u try to install apk it never installs, system becomes very very laggy.

It isnt working.... ie. framework not installing
and side effects are:
-All my apps on sd went missing(after restoring system partition i got it back)
-storage space was low it asked to clear out 250mb of space from system.....
-Lagged (maybe due to the storage issue in system)
anyway some 1 posted this:
Working on my OnePlus one. It wasn't working at first, but I got it by doing this
1. Flash framework
2. Install apk
3. Go back to recovery and flash the framework again

and other post
Using nexus 5 , purity ROM (lollipop version) tried two ways:
way 1:
1. flash the zip
2.install apk
shows xposedbridge.jar active , app_process doesnt
way 2:
1.install apk
2.mount system
3.flash zip
shows xposedbridge.jar active , app_process doesnt
i understand many people have it , but wrote it so you will save some time doing the steps i did.
EDIT - SOLUTION FOUND :
the solution is to install random modul (i choose chromepie) apply it and reboot - have fun using xposed

Can some1 try this?
It wasn't working when I first installed,I got full storage and phone lagged...
what I do to get it working was to reboot to recovery and factory reset,after reset I rebooted the phone,it took about 10-15 mins,after booting up I rebooted to recovery and flashed the supersu then xposed zip again,after reboot everything was normal no storage space error or anything,I installed the apk and all is working fine as of now..

Thanks mate for reporting. Even i had the lag issue. All apps on sd disappeared and a notification of 250 mb storage or something like that poped up and i went back to KK. I'll flash lollipop tomorrow. And report it here.
some modules that work good right now:
http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-modules-to-install-right-now-on-lollipop/
App Settings [Lollipop Alternative by rovo89] [1]:
This was by far one of my favorite Xposed modules back when I wasn’t running Lollipop, and certainly the one I missed the most. With this baby you can change DPI per app (which allows you to keep whatever DPI you want on the rest of the SystemUI), as well as the application’s font scale, immersive mode, RAM pinning, and insistent notifications for those that don’t want to miss their valentine’s texts (and lose their heads over it).
Xposed GEL Settings [1][2]:
For those fans of the “pure Google experience”, this module can let you further customize your Google Launcher by letting you hide the search bar or individual applications, change grid, icon and text sizes, remove labels and more. It doesn’t make it quite as flexible as Nova, but it’s definitely a good module to have for those that love the Google integration of their launcher, and the cleanness and optimization of it.
RootCloak [1]:
Some apps detect root and either prevent access or limit your features as a preemptive method for security. While it is understandable some might want to further fortify their application, us XDA tinkerers can be left out of services due to this. This module hides root for the apps you choose, simple as that. We can’t specifically tell you what to use this module for, but if you’ve had problems like this before, look no further.
Advanced Power Menu+ [1]: This module lets you customize the power menu of your phone to add or remove items in any order you want. There are extra reboot options (soft boot, recovery boot, bootloader), a screenshot option, a quick-dial to call whoever, some connection toggles and a handy flashlight. I always have advanced power menus on my phones, and an Xposed module alternative is much easier than flashing additional zip’s. If this doesn’t work for you, the new Lollipop Power Menu module might.
XToast [1]:
This was one of my favorites back then, as it lets you add the Toast notification’s app origin into the message box by adding the corresponding app’s icon. That in itself makes it useful, but you can also customize said icon and add the name, or change the toast style back to older versions. The duration, transparency and where it appears also can be chosen. Basically, toasts are at your control to make them more informative and personal. You won’t know how awesome it is until you try it!
Lollipop Notification Ticker [1]:
This one was meant to restore the ticker on the status bar that informed you of the contents of your latest notifications. It was made before Xposed for Lollipop came out, which was a daring move that worked… partially. According to reports, it breaks heads-up notifications alongside fixing the ticker. If you dislike those in the first place, though, you might want to give it a try.
Native Clip board [1]:
Copying and pasting on smartphones was never the most fluid thing, nor the most consistent. This module adds clip-board management straight to the text-selection menu, and it allows you to theme the new menu, black-list apps and further customize it. If you happen to be working on your phone because there’s a document you might need to edit on the bus, this will prove useful.
BootManager [1]:
A must-have to those that want their device to be slim and efficient on boot. This module allows you to select which applications run when you power up your device, and those that don’t get allowed to do so usually stay dormant until you fire them up. If you’ve got a good amount of things that you don’t need right away but are hesitant to greenify, this can alleviate the dilemma of your user experience.

Empty galaxy rom...
I just wanted to let you know that I have it installed and have been messing with it for about an hour. Everything seems to be running quickly. So far the only thing I have noticed is that it seems to be running a little warm. I will report back with anything else I come across. Good work!!
I've been working on the theme but the ui is new to me. Still finding stuff. Thanks though @ITSAHERO hopefully as it set in it evened out the temp.
Couple questions
Hello there,
I am interested in installing the completely debloated version you did. Is the IR Blaster and the finger print unlocking the device working? Thanks in advance!!
I haven't tried the ir but finger print works. And you're very welcome.
I'll try the ir and report back. I'm in the middle of an install so it'll be a few..
Added
IR: Tested and fully operational
Best rom I've used.
Hi, downloaded the empty ROM on my tab s t700. Personally I'm not a fan of Nova so I tried installing google now launcher but it doesn't work for me? It installs and stuff alright but it just force closes on me. Now, I'm coming to this ROM from ironrom on which I was running google now launcher but I just can't get it to work on here. Am I the only one a facing this problem?
I'll download and try and report back.
Added-
Yes. You're right.
I removed Google search, sometimes I use yahoo so I like it out.
To use Google Now you need to first install Google search and go through initial setup then download and install Google Now.
The OP has been updated and the Empty Galaxy version has been updated to 1.3.
I had hoped to add a theme to it but it's taking more time than I thought to find everything.
If I get to a usable point with it I'll upload.
The rom ive been waiting for.. thanks dev.. what kernel suits best with it? Can you recemmend any?
I've been using the stock kernel so I can't really recommend yet. I'll give what's available a try today.
I'm using sky-high kernel with this rom, I have to say, my tab S 8.4 has never been smoother, almost as quick as my nexus 9.
Is this a US firmware? I have been using it and lost access to wifi channels 12 and 13. The tab could not detect my home network anymore. Europe here... Thx for all the work you've put into this.

My apologies, that didn't even cross my mind. This is a backup ran through a rom kitchen and cleaned up. But it was an ota so I've got to assume it's US. If I get a chance I'll look into it.
Best RoM used yet! Keep up the good work.
Thanks.. I'm not sure where I'm at with development on the tab s. Glad the roms are getting used. I'm still waiting for the official nl2 download. My favorite thing about the tab is having a device not connected to a carrier! And it really makes it so we don't need very many apps to start.

Why would you remove "enhancedusbux.apk"? It's the USB Connection app... And "LiveWallpapers.apk" and "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk"? "SimContacts.apk"? "FaceLock.apk"? Many of the "s*it" in this debloat flashable zip are not actually bloat, they are features, important features.
Indeed I' m gonna edit this script before using ... some apk are useful as u said :good:

I just used the work of someone who posted this debloated script. I prepare an exam and I have not the time to check the differents apps removed. But it's a provisionnal solution for Xposed
However, you can say this at the original author Here

I did that script for my purpose, and what is sh*t for for me may be usefuly for you
then I noticed that doing such cleaning in my phone I had no bootloops, so shared it to others, and AFAIK others are enjoying it as well and prefer not having bootloops using xposed rather than keeping those important features as you call them... (facelook, livewallpapers etc etc lol) just head over there and see the reports from people who applied it...
btw, if you would have read OP better, you would have noticed that debloat script was not made by OP of this thread, but by me and again reading better you would have probably been to the original thread where I wrote all disclaimers, explanations for most important packages I removed (such as simcontacts, enhancedusbux etc): as written in my thread for example, simcontacts is useless unless you have contacts stored in your sim card (in that case I suggested there to keep it!), enhancedusbux is useless if you just connect phone to PC to transfer files (as that operation is working flawlessly even without it, otherwise I wrote there to keep it!) etc etc
(instead about facelook, livewallpapers, and such useless things I'vealready expressed my opinion above).
and well in the end, of course, free to use my script as well as not use it as well as edit it as you wish before using it!
PS: I called it "massive debloat" for one purpose see it like that, all stuff phone makers add in their FW, in addition to what AOSP has, is BLOAT for me. and actually, I even debloat AOSP roms you can imagine.....

OMG.
firs of all all apps that can be downloaded from play store are not vital (for example I always remove gmail from /system and then install it from Play Store, or from my sdcard backup folder): the ones in /system are always outdated compared to what you find on play store, so why keeping them in /system too?
sony's clock widgets vital? I use dashclock that is thousand times better, so sony's is sh*t for me, and I remove it. and btw there are a lot of other things I am removing more vital than clock widgets... (intelligent functions, play station stuff, mirror things etc etc) you can imagine if I make scruples about clock's widgets.......
finally, again, if you don't like it, don't use it or edit it before applying it!! everyone will find vital things for him in my list, so there is no point in arguing: that's my script and I do that as I wish. it is impossible to make a debloat script that is 100% ok for everyone: considering all suggestions, I would no debloat at all..!! just adapt it to make it suitable for your case! (but then if bootloops appear again, don't bother asking what app is causing it )

that's the spirit in the other thread in OP I also put a link to a zip containing all the stuff I removed, and detailed instructions about how to restore things inside it in case of need (there is a simple script to automatically do that).
so some people is applying my script/debloated FW and then restore things and check about bootloops.
alternatively you can of course modify the script before flashing it, to avoid deleting things and then restoring them
i asked people who restored something to report in the thread to try to understand what is generating bootloops or at least make a list with safe things to add, but so far just a few people did that ;(

ETA : Well, I've restored the whole priv-app folder with wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache → phone booted → I've rebooted many time and no bootloop so far (and Xposed working as well)
I'll try some system apps soon when i have time and update this post

I've separated all the apps by creating different flash_removed_apps - A.zip to flash_removed_apps - Z.zip flashable zip, I'll try them all one by one to isolate the problem(s) It will take some time and maybe somebody will find before me ^^
I think the most borring thing will be waiting for apps optimization everytime......nevermind I'll do it
that's a very good approach man! time consuming but should work great at least! :good:

Umm and how do you propose to switch from "media transfer mode" to "mass storage mode" and vise versa? I seriously think that this is not a solution to the bootloops, I'd try deleting app-by-app until the bootloops stop, then you'll at least know which app exactly causes the conflict. I think I'll even try it myself.
(Please note that I am not responsible if your phone bricks etc. Please use at your own risk! Myself and others who have also tested this bypass have had no reported issues of this bypass causing some sort of brick etc., but I cannot guarantee anything.)
__________________________________
*UPDATED*
Since October 2016, Google has (yet again) changed their way on how SafetyNet works and how they can now easily figure out if your phone is rooted or not. This caused many issues for rooted Android users who wanted to play games such as PKMNGO and use apps such as Snapchat. However, there is still ways to bypass SafetyNet.
Tested Devices:
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Samsung Galaxy S5
- Samsung Galaxy S7
*Looking for people with other devices to try and see if it works for themselves so I can add the device to the list.*
__________________________________
Requirements:
- Basic Understanding on how to use Custom Recovery, flashing zip files etc.
- Running on Android 6.0+/7.0+
- Phone has a custom recovery (I suggest TWRP) and on a Custom ROM. (Stock roms "should" work too.)
- Rom should have November 1st Security update or older updates. (Have not tested with roms with November 5th Security update and higher.)
- Magisk V11.1 & Magisk Manager 4.1
- SafetyNet Checker
- Phh Super User APK. PlayStore or 2.0 Beta
- Root File Explorer. I suggest Root Browser
- Kernel Adiutor
- Root Checker
(If you cannot bypass with Xposed, use Root Switch!)
Tutorial
**WARNING: BIG IMAGES** (Had no time to resize them, but will soon.)
Before we begin, I suggest that you make a Nandroid backup through your preferred Custom Recovery. I suggest you use TWRP however CWM "should" work, but I have not tried myself.
Step 1:
Clean Install
The first step 'is' optional, however it is recommended that you do a clean install. I will be using Alexis Rom 8.0 Beta 2 for my Galaxy S6, but any rom should work. (Other than certain GraceUX ports, but am able to get it to work with other ported rom like CoreUi (a MIUI port) for the Galaxy S6). You should also flash a kernel now as well. I use to personally use Arter97 as SuperSU is not installed in this kernel, however Arter97 is slowly starting to become unstable as it hasn't been updated and there is better kernels out there. For this tutorial, I will be using Twisted Kernel.
Step 2:
Removing SuperSU
This step is 'also' optional, but ONLY if your rom/kernel does not automatically install SuperSU for you. In my case, it is automatically installed.
What you will need to do is to go to the SuperSU app, go to settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Scroll down until you see "Full unroot" and click it.
A popup will come up and click "Continue", then followed by another popup and click "NO".
Once you click no, your phone will freeze and then reboot. You should then install Root Checker to verify if your phone is unrooted.
(If for some reason, you are unable to use the SuperSU app but you know SuperSU is installed, I'd suggest you download UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip and flash it as it will manually remove SuperSU.)
Step 3:
Installing required APKs.
You will now need to install MagiskManager 4.2.6, SafetyNet Helper Sample, PHH Super User APK, Root Browser and Kernel Adiutor.
Step 4:
Flashing MagiskV11.1
You will need to reboot into your custom recovery and flash "Magisk-v10.2.zip", followed by rebooting. If you receive ERROR: 1 in TWRP when it is trying to mount SU, I suggest reflashing a kernel (and re-remove SuperSU), uninstalling Magisk with MagiskUninstaller (in Magisk thread) and reinstall Magisk V11.1, or reinstalling your rom.
Once you have flashed the file, reboot into System and open Magisk Manager to verify you have installed Magisk. A little pop up will open to allow Magisk to have root. Make sure to click allow and set it so it has root for "Forever".
If it states that root isn't properly installed, manually flash PHH Super User V266-2. (Useless now as Magisk-V11+ has MagiskSU built into the main file and the Super User manager is built into Magisk Manager.)
Step 5:
Enabling Magisk Hide
In Magisk Manager, go to the side menu and go to "Settings." You will see an unchecked box that says "Enable Magisk Hide." Select it and reboot. Re-open Magisk Manager and verify that it is now check marked. If the App crashes when you select "Enable Magisk Hide", reboot your phone and retry.
Step 6:
Set Permissions
In Root Browser, go to the directory "/sys/fs/selinux" and find the file "enforce" and the file "policy". On the file "enforce", change the permissions of the file from "644" to "640", and for the file "policy", change the permissions of the file from "444" to "440". If MagiskSU pops up and asks for root access, click "Allow."
Once you are done, open up SafetyNet Helper Sample and it 'should' pass. If you are getting "Response Validation Failed" and the background is blue, uninstall Magisk by flashing Magisk Uninstaller, flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip, then reflash Magisk V11.1. Then, go back to Step 5 and enable Magisk Hide.
Step 7:
Use Kernel Adiutor to automatically set permissions in init.d
This last step is 'optional', however it automates the permission setting as every time you reboot your system, the file permissions will reset. Open up Kernel Adiutor, go to the sidebar and scroll down until you see 'Init.d'. Click it and make sure "Emulate Init.d" is enabled.
Then click the plus button, set the name to "Permissions" and then add the following script:
"chmod 640 /sys/fs/selinux/enforce" and "chmod 440 /sys/fs/selinux/policy" and save the files.
Also allow root access to Kernel Adiutor!
Step 8:
Reboot
Reboot your device, let Kernel Adiutor do its countdown (you will see in the notifications drop down) and once it says "Applying settings completed!", open up Safetynet and you should be passing!
If you're still not passing, try disabling USB Debugging in Developer Options!

Thanks. Been using this way to bypass for 2 months now and when I realized not a lot of people knew how to do it, I knew I needed to write a tutorial. It has only not worked with one ROM I tried but worked with a variety of other roms. XtreStoLite, Alexis, CoreUi, MIUI Port etc. Note, I did not originally "find" it but there is no real guide to follow it like how I have written it above.
Thank you for this it works great! Pokémon Go here we come ?
You could also make a "stock" kernel with only the bypass by SultanXDA to make it easier for users

Worked well for me on Galaxy S7 SM-G930F with SuperMan-Rom 1.18.1
I'll try with Xposed later.
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial!
EDIT : This method with Magisk 10.2 + Xposed does NOT work
very interested to see if xposed can be bypassed

Haven't really went and tried it yet. However I don't think it is currently possible. Been busy recently etc etc.
Also, there 'is' supposedly a bug where settings would crash and that would cause issues. If that is the case, I suggest try flashing Magisk V9 as it worked for me as well before.
not work with stock kernel. Any guide with stock kernel?
Hmmm... Twisted Kernel is only for G920F... what is F? Sorry for my ignorance. Tried googling it. Still unclear.
I have Sprint G920P. Anyone know if this would be devastating and irreversible to my phone if I tried it?
Every other method has failed for me and/or is incompatible with my Sprint phone. I'd love to try this and not brick my phone. Thanks!
F is the international variant of the s6, mainly European, might be wrong.
On my Note 4 I am currently running DevBase 3.8 rom, Enforcing RamKernel V5 R1 and Magisk 10.2.
When I enable "Magisk Hide" I don't have to fiddle with any file permissions at all, SafetyNet is passed "out of the box". :good:
Thanks you so much!
Works perfect on Nexus 6p and 5x running latest 7.1.1 stock with Elementalx kernel.
Just had some problems with changing permissions but it passes anyway. Danke!
How to root Moto G5 very easy on LineageOS

Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP Recovery
LineageOS rom or based on LineageOS rom
SU zip in attachment
How To
Once you have installed LineageOS (or any rom that is based on it)
Go into TWRP Recovery
Install Zip
Select addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip
Wait till flash has finished
Wipe Cache
Restart Phone
Once phone has restarted do the following
Open phone settings
Go to about phone
Keep pressing on build number until it tells you that you are a developer
Go back to phone settings
Select Developer Options
Under Root access select Apps and ADB
Done - you now have a rooted phone
Don't install any other superuser/supersu app as it may conflict
Is wipe cache really needed? I don't want to setup all my apps for the third time this week (root on stock, then installing LineageOS).

wiping cache does not delete any app data or removes any apps
Cache is a temp folder that apps use so things can load quicker - wiping the cache is always recommended after flashing any zip (the option wipe cache/dalvik will appear after flashing zip)
What you are talking about is data - wiping data would remove all user data/apps and at no point do you need to wipe data in this process

You will have to take it up with them
ok - i get root with this no problem, but i need superSU (standard, not addonSU) for foldermount that doesn't like the addonSU.

On previous versions of lineageos 14.1 yes (but not tried it for ages as didn't use it for my root so kernel may have changed)
If you are using lineageos 15 you need to use magisk
k. i don't really fancy going back in history on lineageos...
unfortunately i can only use superSU as that's what foldermount expects to see. and the developer for it is AWOL, so he won't be fixing this anytime soon.
or - do you know of any alternatives to foldermount?
or2 - perhaps the lineageos developer could make it compatible with superSU?

I would advise using lineageos 15 & then using magisk
The chances are there is a magisk module that will do the same/similar job
Linking things to sd card isn't really advised - it slows the device down & makes it laggy - the g5 has 16gb internal storage so what benefit are you looking for as just installing apps I can't see anyone filling up internal storage & anything else can go on sd card like music pictures downloads etc

is 15 better than 14.1? there does seem to be magisk module that attempts to do this, but seemingly not ready for prime time yet.

right, it's no longer about space. it's about: setting up a removable hard drive (=sdcard), and with it, being able to houseclean for misbehaving apps. in my case it's mostly wechat, that will fill any amount of space and not provide tools to keep it operational. and yes, i got a fast sdcard, speed shouldn't be an issue.

Well it's oreo as opposed to nougat
Only main bug is camera apps crash after taking 1 pic but I'm sure that will be fixed in next build
Since I don't use apps like that I can't recommend anything
Thank you for creating this. I tried to root Moto g5 lineage 14.1 using SuperSU. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried the latest beta 2.82, 1.97, etc.
Although magisk works, it wasn't as simple as SuperSU
So this app is great substitute. I hope you can make it work for lineage 15 also

anyway, how come i dont find any supersu app installed? did i do something wrong then? or is the addonsu-14.1-arm-signed integrated by flashing it in custom recovery?
