He also goes on to say
"That root is with verity disabled and modified /system. Going to continue trying to get it working without this requirement."
Enjoy and Have a good weekend ahead peeps!!
Edit
Systemless root achieved.

Hahahaha, lol. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING special about pixel in regards to root. Works JUST LIKE every Nexus running 6.0+. I was running with root on ours on **october 20th**.

Eh? I think,
You are wrong....
There is pretty much EVERYTHING DECENT about Chainfire's ability and dedication to continue rooting each successive version of Android. Pixel was first to ship with 7.1, and there ARE differences between the new systemless root and 6.0 or 6.0.1 root methodology.
Why does your message just sound like a CALITALIZED rambling of a spoilsport? I dunno. It does to me, anyway.
There is like nothing special about ANYthing new, got us there aha!
I like the advent of new tech and new methods, even if novelty is old by now.

No there isn't.
The only explanation for keeping the source code closed, is because he is HIDING something in it. I wouldn't touch that garbage if my life depended on it.
WHY DO YOU THINK I MAINTAIN MY OWN SOURCE?
And like I already said, there was *absolutely nothing* special about the pixel.
He's just trying to drum up an "awww cool" factor that is undeserved.

I literally have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and you might not. However, I can instantly recognise paranoid conspiracy theory.
Literally, the "only" reason -ever- for *shudder* an Android dev protecting some measure of private and intellectual property is..... He is evil and hiding his violence from all of us!?
Cool story bro.
Maintain your own source if you want, but people are allowed to keep some property to themselves.

[Q] Are you using ClockworkMod Superuser or sticking with SuperSU?

I asked this question in the general forum, but what are my fellow Nexus 4 owners using?
I've been using supersu since its creation. I own the pro version too. (I spend too much on apps )

I jumped on the SuperSU wagon too and also have the pro version, simply because the consensus was that it is better than Superuser, but now there seems to be a lot of hype around ClockworkMod Superuser.
This is why you should use Superuser by Koush.

This goes back to what I said about transparency. It's great that you can see everything about the app and that it isn't doing anything dodgy in the background, but does this leave it open to exploits?
Would someone out there be able to use their knowledge of the code to their advantage?
When a little more mature I'll give it a go (or once CM include it)
SuperSU always worked great for me and never had any issues and off course i also bought the Pro app. I think Chainfire is a genius and the app is constantly beeing updated and improved. And just because another app is is fully open it doesn`t mean it is automaticaly better.

You're right on both points, and both of those are actually the advantages of open source. Because it is there for everyone to see, anyone can take a look and point out the bugs, security holes, etc... which, theoritically, will leads to less exploits for bad guys to use.
Think about it as newspaper or peer-review journal. When what you do is there in plain text for everyone to see and criticize, the end products tends to have much higher quality and less errors.

Based on what you've said, it may be better to wait until it's been around for a while, similar to what 'EddyOS' said above. This way any exploits can be patched?

The other superusers can and do have just as many exploits but you'd never know as they are not open so you'd never know if they got patched or not. That's pretty much the point of making it open sourced. I like Koush's work so I'm giving it a try and haven't run into any problems with it yet but only have been running it since yesterday.
If CM implements it
SuperSu is fine with me. I personally don't care about it being open source or not. Chain fire is a great developer.
Why change what works for the past four years of android.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm on Koush's SU. Open source is nice (although SuperSU not being open source wasn't something that concerned me). And I now have an entry in my settings menu for Superuser which is a great spot for it to live.
Also using Koush's SU, because i use PA ROM and it's implemented there.
Hope Koush brings more features in his SU with the time.

ChainsDD's Superuser hasn't worked that well since Gingerbread, and that left CF's SuperSU as the only functional SU. With Koush's SU CM can include a fully functional, open source solution in their build now. As much as I like SuperSU it shouldn't be the only option.
Supersu pro here haven't used super user since it didn't work on jb when I got the phone but have pro purchased for both

Just installed Koush's Superuser seems good so far.

Added a poll to this thread, as the other thread didn't spark the debate that I would have hoped.
What I'm generally getting is that in the future, ClockworkMod Superuser will possibly be better than SuperSU, but for now there is no real benefit/advantage to switching.
The only good thing right now as 'CMNein' said, is that there's a 2nd option.
It would appear the next CM nightly will now be using the new Superuser package...
http://10.1.cmxlog.com/?device=mako
i switched over to superuser completely for paranoidandroid.
i think koush is an amazing developer and he's got an eye for design as well. i just love seeing his apps adapt. the way he's written superuser is genius, especially the settings integration.
i like that its open source and thats pretty much a necessity for such an important app.
well, and superuser behaves like a cog, it does what it should.
superSu has become self-conscious in that aspect. i know the developer must eat too, and i bought superSu of course, but its toasts made a joke out of any rom using it. my experience is that xda is usually very supportive - you dont need to force people, they will help out on their own because they are nice.
chainfire was very thoughtful and friendly of course, and immediately considered circumventing the nag-toast for roms. but just asking for it in his thread got me some good kicks in the stomach by his followers - that was pretty much the point where i started thinking i wanna be less dependent on it. if i dont like something in koushs implementation i fork and rewrite it - thats the way i prefer it.

is it hopeless waiting for turbo development?

I see there is a thread abt a reward for who ever makes an exploit to root the turbo.
I have an upgrade available but I don't want to waste it on a phone that can't even be rooted. Another thing is that this decision is on limited time. Because once the turbo gets lollipop , rooting will be out the window . so if you wait to long to get the turbo and it's shipped from the factory with lollipop, your screwed from the get go. So judging by the older lines of "moto droids" do you think or have read anything online abt development being slim to none?
Or any future plans on a developers edition ?
The nexus 6 is just to big for me. And the moto x is just not for me

You are forgetting that there is another variant of the Turbo, the Maxx one that will come with unlockable bootloader and free of Verizon crap. People will make it their way to get on of those, and probably development will be significantly more active that with Turbo.
On the other hand, Lollipop doesn't mean no more root, there are already devices with Lollipop and gained root few days ago, so it shouldn't be a worry.
:fingers-crossed:
Correct about root and lollipop but what's the point? Why do you NEED root and unlocked boot loader when lollipop gets here? Xposed won't work. Lollipop will be the os that negates the need for root.

Xposed doesn't work yet, but likely will in the future. And there are other things to use root for than just Xposed. Such as Tasker, AdFree, Cerberus, etc. Root works great on my Nexus 7 with Lollipop, albeit without Xposed.
I mainly want/need root for ARLiberator or ARUnchained. Right now I can cast to my receiver and get sound but ARU gave full mirroring and allowed me to control my phone through my headunit (with root). Combined with Tasker to automate and it was fantastic. Xposed was real nice to have and I'm sure it will be updated for L at some point but I wasn't really using a whole lot on there I'll miss. Same goes for battery tweaker like Greenify. It was awesome with root and combined with Xposed but w/ the monster battery on this thing and the improvements with Project Volta I'm thinking I won't miss it so much.
Just want root access to freeze the VZW crap. My 2 cents.

You can disable those apps now which is essentially the same thing.
Disable works just as good
Hadn't tried that. Just hid them using a launcher. OK, I'll disable them. Gracias!
I don't think it's hopeless. Just look at the bounty. No, it's no guarantee a dev will obtain that full amount but it show's that we're interested.
My guess and hope is that the Middle Man will come back and we'll be able to get unlock codes. It's our best shot.
In the meantime I'll stay at KitKat and cross my fingers. Root for me will give me custom DPI's which 4.7"+ phones need so badly. Besides that I'm doing just fine without root. Yeah, a few customization options would be fine but stock Motorola Android flies!
Only thing I really want/need is WiFi Tether. I've managed to tether using a USB but the process is way more complex and only allows for one device at a time.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Without root you cannot manipulate the hosts file meaning you cannot block ads completely as you can with root. This alone is enough to make root worthwhile for me because I despise ads. I also like to change fonts at the system level and make many other customizations that require root and lollipop in no way negates those needs.
Not that my opinion or likes and dislikes matter. And that's the thing, people who say root is not needed speak for themselves just as I speak for myself and no one else. I don't ever say YOU need root or YOU do not need root because I have no business deciding what someone else does or does not need. Just saying...
I just think it's going to take some time gents. Phone has been out for what? Two weeks?

Agreed. This is the on thing I really want. I can live without the rest of the stuff. If I could pay for an app that worked for wifi tether I would do that and probably be happy without root all together.
I had the RAZR maxx HD. I thought we'd never get root for the longest time. It took a while - a bunch of months, at least, but we got it.
Now, the maxx HD never was nearly as popular as the droid turbo. That's a fact.
I'm sure someone out there will find a way. It's not about if, but when. That's my opinion, at least
2 things I want root for..
Messing with speaker output
And shutter speed of the camera
This phone will probably never be rooted, but if you aren't okay with that then why would you ever buy this device?
Maybe I'm not understanding this, but why is a developers edition needed? Why dont you just unlock developer mode on the phone you get? I did.

Root by March 1. Over/Under Poll

Will the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Retail see root by March 1, 2015? Wanted to see what you guys think in a poll.
There are threads where this should go.
There are people messing around with getting root, but nothing real serious. Unfortunately, the Verizon retail Note 4 isn't likely to ever get root, certainly not by March. No chance.
There's a radio button for that

I'm mobile, can't see the poll. I'd say between lollipop possibilities and recently discussed exploits, 60% chance.
Are there android phones in the past or current that has never seen root access?
The only thing I use root for is Titanium Backup so I can freeze bloatware. That is about it, but I have enough memory and quite frankly the stock works very well for me.

This was actually my motivation for starting this thread. It seems like it's heating up a bit over there and I was wondering if that had changed anyone's opinion from the first "Root Poll" thread started a while ago. I'm certainly more optimistic after seeing all of the activity. On the other hand history does seem to shoe that the big advances seem to come from people who have been silently waiting in the wings.
Yea it has been a while since I put up that root poll. It's since died out which is understandable.
My point of view is (and yes I voted) lol
I don't believe well see root in this device! I fear that this is the way it's going to be for most new devices rolling out from here on out. Unless you purchase a dev edition.
To me. The phone runs very well! Use the blocking script and u can free up some ram. Otherwise the only things Im missing the most is cleaning up the notification bar and TiBu. Otherwise I'm happy!
Course this is just my opinion.
Carry on

Not gonna happen
Not going to happen. Saving for iPhone 6 plus were jailbreak works no matter what carrier. Maybe the m8. Does the m8 have root on verizon even? It's going to take me a while to save 800 bucks, maybe we will get lucky. Stock would not be bad, but suckwiz is killing me.
I've been optimistic for those on the note 4 verizon version, unfortunatley the sad truth is, its either going to never come to note 4 or will be almost a year till root is achieved. I'm going to be staying with my note 3 for a long time. Possibly forever, until note edge/edge 2 note 5 gets root and custom recovery. Just my opinion, I'm cheering you guys on, it's hard without dev support. Once the dev support get's tripled than might have a better chance. But till then, your gonna have to wait it out. Best of luck and I'm rooting for your guys
I am not optimistic. I suppose it is the DE edition for the N5 or off to another manufacturer whose phone can be rooted.
Can't really put the blame on the manufacturer. I understand that tmobile variant of the Note 4 can be rooted. It's a carrier thing. Maybe Samsung just has a more secure method. But it's only there because Verizon wants it there.

You wouldn't like to be able to write to sdcard using any method of your choice?
Nope. MLB at Bat app. If I want to watch my home team I can't be in the tv/radio "broadcast territory" of either of the teams playing. On my previous phone I used "FakeGPS". Apk has to be copied to "/system/priv-app" in order to work with "Allow Mock Locations" turned off... MLB at Bat app knows if Allow Mock is turned on.
And maybe it was PEBKAC but I'm pretty sure I tried renaming a picture on my SD Card and was denied. Insanity.

[Viper4Android] [OxygenOS] Request for including Viper4Android in OxygenOS

Hi,
I have just found that there is a thread in the Oneplus forums that requests to include Viper4Android in OxygenOS.
I am not allowed to root my Oneplus 3T because I also use it for work, but Viper is the one thing i miss most.
Please like the post, maybe the Oneplus developers react:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/integrate-viper4android-into-oxygen-os-feature-request.488960/
Not going to happen. Viper is no longer in development. It comes from an age before SELinux. It cannot be implemented in a way that is suitable for "release software".
No longer in development? Last build of ViperFX is of Feb 12, 2017...

Looks like I'm a bit behind on the news. Thing is, if I hit the check for updates button, it still links to 2.4.0.1. That's why I missed it.
But still. It's not something any manufacturer can integrate into software that is shipped to customers.
One Plus would have to pay the devs would they not? It won't happen but it is a really great mod, I wouldn't run my phone without it.
Of course they can implement it. I don't get this SELinux bull, you don't need to break SELinux to get viper working. However viper has huge problems with Oxygen's audio stack in OOs 4. I would love Viper to be official, but I would settle with the audio stack being improved so that viper runs with it properly.
(Yes I know Viper 'works' but not with all the apps I use, and they work fine in CM14 or LineageOS. )

You are way behind.. Plenty of people using it with selinux set to enforcing.. You just need the right policy and when its system software baked into the ROM there is no reason we cant implement it with even fewer tricks.
You know the OS itself runs as root, more or less. We are talking about making it part of the OS

Generally speaking, such requests belong in the Q&A forum.
That stated, I can't imagine having the nerve to ask a question that starts with the words "can someone compile a ROM..."
In a word, this request should have never been made.
As others have mentioned, it's not likely someone can build a ROM based on an operating system that has never been available with this device.

Yeah, there are SEVERAL xposed modules I miss very much.
They gave me options that you cannot find in any Nougat custom ROM.
I'd LOVE to see MarshMallow on Pixel but that's not going to happen.
NotifyClean and EnhancedToast are two that I miss the most, just off the top of my head.
But I had like 15-20 modules on MarshMallow and some are no longer needed but some I really miss.
I'd pay a lot of money just for NotifyClean alone. Nougat has a similar option built-in but it sucks badly in comparison to what NotifyClean can do.
I also liked the one for PlayStore that made PlayStore open directly to "my apps" instead of the main page.
App Settings, Expand Volume, Native Clipboard, CrappaLinks, APM+.
Then there were MANY modules that did clone of what custom ROM's offer. But by simply re-enabling the saved modules after clean flashing a new ROM, you saved a TON of time by not having to set each item individually in ROM settings. Like App Ops Exposed, GravityBox, Lock Screen Mods, etc.
I'd pay big money for App Settings also. Though it hasn't worked properly since Lollipop.

You can create a shortcut to the my apps page on your home screen by long pressing the play store, if that helps.
Some people posting to take up space to lash out. Obviously they don't know how great Xposed(swift knife for android) is and means to Android. Or they just idiots trying to gain credibility. Xposed owns!

Never needed Xposed, most Roms had what I wanted. To reach their own, some people love it and others don't care for it.

I mean, I love xposed, and totally see where you're coming from, but calling others idiots isn't necessary..
I understand, its frustrating when you say "I like this feature, does anyone know how to port it?" But others respond with "I never needed it, therefore you shouldn't need it."
I liked xposed because I could get all my favorite lineage/cm features on any ROM I waa on.. I haven't seen a screen off, long press volume button seek tracks app to work on nougat. Macrodroid has gotten close, but not completely there.
Believe me, I kept my oneplus 3 on marshmallow for months after nougat rolled out because xposed. And here you are nearly a year out. But I think what might be a good option as well is to make a list of modules you use, post them, and see what apps others recommend.
Figure if the need was bad enough one would figure out how to port it themselves ?
