as the title says id like to keep my phone rooted, debloated and xposed when doing updates, its a little annoying to dirty flash every week.
ever time i get a update i have to dirty install and that puts back the bloatware i have removed and unroots an removes exposed and i have to reinstall it again.
I thought uninstalling Xposed is enough for weekly update? Update through TWRP instead of the Updater app.

For the S4, or basically any Samsung device, how can I install an OTA update if it's rooted with Xposed installed?
I have stock rom and stock recovery. Rooted using CF-Autoroot and installed Xposed so I can get OTA updates. After the OTA update is downloaded, installing it fails before the device is even rebooted.
By the way, before applying the update, I unrooted and uninstalled Xposed (but without rebooting first since I didn't want the OTA update to disappear).
Is there any way to solve this?

Actually I think there is. Since it modifies system files/structures, it must be uninstalled before applying OTA updates. At least that is the case with Nexus OTAs since they perform system checks for any changes before proceeding with the update.
I always like to have the latest stable updates from google.
If I root my MXP, will I be loosing these updates and should depend only on custom ROMs?
Yes you won't get any updates...so why do you want to root ,if you want a stable phone?
Some custom ROM's are stable .
Using the marshmallux 2.0 myself,with better performance then the original android 6.
there is a root method called systemless root.with this supersu (systemless) you can receive OTA normally and then from another app,you can install this update and then also this app will re-root your phone.
If you root you can stil get the ota updates mate!!!!!!!! just download the ota file whenever you get the update then unroot your device from the supersu itself and flash the update!!!!! i have a rooted x play and when i get any updates i unroot and then install the ota and the again root my device ...... as simple as that

Hi All,
So recently, I got another s7 edge because my original one was faulty.
-I installed the latest version of 6.0.1 (Australia) because I want to use xposed .
-I have used all the latest versions of SuperSU binaries (2.79) and it makes the phone LAG! I had to do a lot of troubleshooting to find out it was this.
-So i went back to my old files and used the CFAutoRoot and realised the binaries are 2.74 (phone started running perfectly!)
-After that, SuperSU updated in Playstore and it asked me to update the binaries again.
-I did this and it was lagging again....
-After all this, I've reverted back to the CF-Autoroot using the 2.74 binaries.. and disabled auto update in playstore.
My main question is, what do you all recommend me to do
(I want to continue using 6.0.1 for xposed)
-should i update the playstore supersu and not update binaries? the update message keeps coming up and I don't like it (i tired to unlink it from play store but can't find it in Titanium backup)
-Will there actually be a fix for it? Can I stop updates?
-Will there be future issues?
Thanks
update: I updated SuperSU from playstore and hadn't updated the binaries yet. it was lagging again. zzzzzzzz
Hi guys! I'm on stock rom Nougat, since i installed magisk i'll always get error when i tried to update my phone from Update setting (samsung things...).
But when i installed Xposed and especially a module known as Firefds which set fake system status to "Official" (it was "Custom"), when i go back to check for a new update i found this (attachement).
So what do you think guys? Should i update? Maybe its November security patch...
But i don't want to lose twrp, magisk and all the stuff !!
This update didn't includes November patch so far I know. This will be listed in the patch notes for sure.
If you install the OTA update...this will end not well I think. You will running in an unstable system because of root, twrp etc. This update will replace files which are eventually needed and so on.
I suggest you flash stock rom with odin, then install the update then re-root and re-flash twrp. Yes it is annoying, but its better to be safe than sorry

What about flash this update using FlashFire and keep twrp & magisk? I saw it in many other phones

You can of course do so...but my experience is that such methods will not end well. Do it like @zzThrain wrote it and download firmware from SamMobile with DQJ3 and reflash twrp and re-root to be sure that your system don't come unstable.
Any chance for OTA updates with Magisk only (without Xposed, etc.)?
If there is no chance - is there a place to download only monthly security updates - since full firmware versions (found at sammobile) are at least 10x times larger than the monthly updates?
Hey guys,
My G5+, which is running NPN25.137-83, rooted with Magisk, TWRP, Xposed just prompted me for an OTA update.
I'm guessing if i try to update i'll (best case scenario) break something, worst case brick my phone.
I'm running Aug2017 security patch.
This OTA update says it includes Security updates till Nov2017 + Stability improvements.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do not apply the update, it will end up failing as you have TWRP installed, but every time you restart your phone, it will boot to TWRP and then you'll have to reboot from TWRP to bootloader and then system. Anyways, I recommend waiting until the OP of the TWRP flashable stock thread updates the links with that update and then flash the update via TWRP. Make sure you go into developer options and turn off automatic updates. You can also use an app to freeze Motorola update service if you don't want to be notified about the update.

Per the TWRP flashable stock thread guide, I downloaded the OTA and shared the zip there
Thanks @jeffsga88! I will disable automatic updates to avoid any accidents.
