SM 900 : Just rooted : now what?

First of all, I don't want to install any custom rom right now. If kit kat comes I may change my mind.
But till then I am enjoying ad free phone by installing adaway.
Installed Xposed and Wanam from there.. Lots of UI customisation.
Multi window from xperiacle a must have and fit for note 3.
What you guys will do/suggest. Safely delete some unnecessary bloats, and many other things.
Please share.
Thanks

Next step u need to do automation marvels on tasker

Can you please share which method you used to root the N900?

Cf auto route, thread in development section. Yes, it will trip knox but who cares.

Like +1.
I always install titanium backup and of course a complete backup using cwm before i proceed in installing other apps after rooting.

Basic root info for MHC19I

Hey everyone, just got a Nexus 6P today and it came with the latest image. Before I scour the forums, is there a link to a specific root for this firmware. Or do earlier methods still work?
Thanks

Well their are 2 ways now.
1. Traditional root which is what you know
2. Systemless root, the 'new' way
I've used both. The systemless root basically decompiles whatever kernel you have, patches it with root, then recompiles all in twrp. I think. Their both good.
When I was on stock ROM I used systemless root.
But I recently flashes resurrection remix and that uses traditional root.

That's def want I wanted to hear. Much thanks. I'm familiar with the systemless root since I'm pretty sure it's done like that with the Nexus 6 as well, which I had not too long ago. Probably will go with the stock and systemless.
Thanks again

[Q] Root, Xposed and Updates on S7E Exynos

Hello,
I am looking to root and install Xposed on my S7E but was wondering what the situation with receiving updates will be.
I was contemplating using FlashFire and CF-Auto-Root but given that I'll be also installing Xposed, then that means FlashFire won't be able to take care of receiving OTA updates.
So if I root, flash TWRP and install Xposed, what would the steps be to update my device when these are released?
Also, what (should) happen/happens to dm-verity and forced encryption. As far as I understand these need to be disabled for TWRP to work?
Thanks

If you decide to root the only way to do "OTA updates" is flashing it manually.
I don't think there is any other alternative. I might be wrong though!

There's a thread about exactly this....

Ah missed that! Great. So it seems you can flash the firmware using FlashFire and not lose XPOSED, etc. etc. I was wondering though, how does (if it does) FlashFire work with dm-verity and encryption? Is it only a TWRP requirement to have these disabled?

I believe so. I haven't rooted yet....keep thinking about it, but haven't quite got round to it. If I do, I'll do the CF-Auto for root then Flashfire for Xposed, but as my firmware doesn't appear on Sammobile yet, I'm keeping unrooted. I'm still a little undecided if rooting will affect me in any way, Gear VR region etc etc

Join the club brother! I'm on the same boat.. Going back and forth between rooting or not (Losing Samsung Pay & OTA & Conscious of having a 0x0 KNOX vs Xposed (Snapprefs, GravityBox, XTouchWiz, etc.) & AdAway..

Yeah. With the condensed DPI mode working without root, Adguard doing a really good job, excellent themes, I'm finding it hard to really need to root. The only thing I really miss is a silly thing, the Xposed module for adding the alt symbols on the Swype material theme keyboard.....

Alt symbols for keyboard through xposed is not working, I have just flashed it a nothing appears.
Has anyone made it work?

how to hide root on my note 3

Hello
Quick info
I have Samsung Note 3 n9005 ,stock rom 5.0 , rooted with chainfire root , twrp recovery installed. I really need to hide my root from banking apps. Or at least be able to install xposed on my rom so I can use rootcloack apparentlty xposed isn't compatible with Samsung phone using Android 5.0
Any help? :angel:

delete wrong answer

Google.

apparentlty xposed isn't compatible with Samsung phone using Android 5.0
Have you asked on the xposed forum ??

I'm also looking for a way to hide my root from specific application.
I already "googled" it as Dejan Sathanas suggest, and solutions like temporary disable root are not good for me.
Thanks,

Look for app Magisk for hide root

Search and you will find working Xposed. I had used Arter's Xposed version (number I forgot).
I used Xposed with 5.0 AryaMod (stock based ROM) for more than 1.5years.
And then install Rootcloak and things should be fine.

I tried this once. Magisk then systemless xposed, it only got me in boot loop. Have you tried it yourself?

The OP clearly say "rooted with chainfire root", so how can you advice on Magisk?

Devs: How to to pass Safteynet with Xposed?

Other than having functional Android pay and Pokemon Go, why should passing Safetynet be important to me? I don't use those apps, and I like running the stock ROM with Xposed. Would we need a patched kernel to to pass?

As a general rule, SafetyNet will not pass with Xposed. Closest option (unless something has changed very recently) is to use Xposed via Magisk and temporarily disable Xposed when you need to pass.

That is the only way on a 6P and other devices.
Xposed modifies the system and by definition it is no longer secure.
Magisk with it's modules is the best way. If you absolutely need Xposed, then forget Pay.

Yeah, I don't really care about Android pay. What would I need to do to accept an OTA. Would uninstalling Xposed be enough, or would I have to wipe and flash the stock firmware again?

I don't understand the need for OTA if you have TWRP?
TWRP typically precludes OTA.
Someone will typically make a flashable version of the OTA. At least on every device I've owned.
