S health will work.
Secure folder won't and never will
Incognito mode in browser works
Snapchat works with magisk
You can update and flash home_csc and keep data

Sure about incognito? Are u using rootet stock or modded Custum Rom?
What about saved passwords using Fingerprint?

Renovate rom has all features working same

Try using the Xposed module XSecureStorage
Installed the xposed framework and xsecurestorage module.still doesn't work?
You have to delete a file from one of your root directories. I can't remember which one though. Do a search on XDA for a you tube video showing you which one. Also Wanam 's thread on his Xsecurestorage module tell you which one as well
Remember to move stuff out of private mode before deleting the file though!

Snapchat no longer letting me sign in

I have a G935A. Snapchat was working fine, then i rooted and it was still working fine. When i installed xposed it stopped working. I read its a common problem with snapchat, so i uninstalled xposed and it still didnt work. I tried restoring the phone 3 times and nothing has worked. All it says is my login failed. I can sign into the account on an iPhone and i can make a new account on my S7, but i cant sign into my regular account. Any suggestions?
Did you remove xposed app or uninstall xposed ? You must flash xposed uninstaller via TWRP.
Happened to me once on a different phone after xposed was installed.
Two methods are:
1. Flash Xposed uninstalled with TWRP - login to snapchat, installed xposed frameworks again.
2. Have another rooted device (no xposed) - sign into snapchat, use Titanium backup to backup snapchat, Make sure u CLEAR the data for snapchat on that phone or delete the app, don't log out!, Use titanium backup on your root S7 Edge phone (with or withour xposed) and restore that file.
You should be automatically logged in.

Yes uninstalling the app directly from your phone just stops u from controlling xposed u have to Uninstall the framework with flashfire or TWRP.. If you have already tried that I had this same problem the other day.. I actually heard that snapchat is now checking for actual just root as well.. I Uninstalled root completely logged in then re rooted and re installed xposed. Sounds like a lot but it's worth it. Only takes 10 minutes.
if you have a backup like titanium backup of the snapchat app AFTER you've logged into it, i think you should be able to restore it without having to uninstall xposed..

I've tried flashing the uninstall package multiple times, the Xposed app says no framework is installed. I've also reflashed the stock firmware multiple times trying to fix this issue and NOTHING is working. I tried backing up snapchat on another rooted phone and restoring it on the s7 and that didn't work either. This is extremely frustrating

Did you clean up and fully unroot your phone? Root is now being checked for
FIX
ONLY FOR THOSE WITH SUPERSU ROOT
Facedthe same problem today mate this is how i did it and just takes you couple of minutes
just temporaily unroot your phone with your SuperSU app if it still does'nt work. if you uninstalled xposed.
you will see that you are gonna be able to snapchat right the moment you are unrooted.
login
grab yourself a flashable zip of supersu to re-root your phone and flash it with TWRP
you should be logged in and have you root
make sure to get titanium backup right away if you didnt have it already and BACKUP your snapchat app + data.
saves you from doing this all over again if you ever should be logged out of snapchat.
for the new roms with magisk v7
i cant figure out how to do since since we cant en/disable our root anymore (correct me if am wrong cause i dont know how to do it with the new magisk manager )
automagisk wont do the trick so i dont know
hit thanks if this helped you.

you have supersu or magisk root?
if you updated form supersu to magisk without wiping data this could be you problem..
go to twrp ---> wipe ----> Format data
type yes
log in with your unrooted phone
re root phone
get yourself a backup of the app with titanium backup
please let me know if this worked for you
Hello,
I've got a question about snapchat.
I'm sorry if im posting this in the wrong place, im new here!
I want to use snapchat 9.3.1.0 so i can use snapprefs.
I'm rooted and have xposed framework installed.
I am currently logged in in the newest snapchat version.
I made a backup of my snapchat with TB, deleted the new version of snapchat, installed snapchat 9.3.1.0, opened titanium backup and restored 'DATA ONLY'.
When i open snapchat, the app says: There are no snaps, and it says i've got no friends (which makes me sad). Any idea how i can fix this?
Thank you!

Hi mate,
I wanna do what you did, as in full unroot then login then re-root. I just wanted to ask do I need to have any custom recovery software installed before doing this? I rooted my phone with ODIN. I DONT have XPOSED installed contrary to what EVERYONE in this forum keeps saying that i only have to uninsall xposed lol.
I have a rooted s5 too so could I potentially login on snapchat on that then create a titanium backup of the app+data then transfer across to me s7edge? That is how I initially remained logged in on snapchat when switching from the s5 to the s7 edge.
Please help! everyone else is just being vague!!

You could just fully unroot within the supersu app re login and then use Odin to re root. .. Or use your s5 to log in and back it up and transfer to your s7.. But you'd have to unroot your s5 if you did it thst way.

Thanks mate. I did it the s5 way and created a back up to restore on s7 edge device. Could have just done it the s7 unroot reroot. Would have been easier lol. Thank you.

Ah yes... I don't have xposed installed? I want to install but I'm still unsure in the process to install it. Do you have a link to installing it on the s5? I'll trial with that before i try to on the s7 edge.

I'm not sure it's been a while since I had a s5 lol but I did a Google search xposed on s5 and it was the first link.. I'd paste the link but the xda app won't let me for some reason.

I love casper for that function exactly, you can watch peoples stories (stalk) without them knowing. The root session used to keep me logged in on both but I think SC have found a way to detect root use of a third part app which is a shame. Not sure if anyone knows how to mask casper from SC at all on here?

I never thought about that. But yes casper was nice for that. And if I could mask it I would again use it.

The problem is not Root. It works fine with root.
When you go to log into Snapchat, it checks to see if xposed is installed. If it is, it will say there is a problem and will not log you in. You should check your rom to see if it is installed (the files may be there but the app may not).
If i was you, i would clear the snapchat data and then uninstall it. Then, download the "uninstall zip" for xposed. You may say it is not installed, however, elements may still be there. running this in recovery will remove all files. When that has been flashed, you can then install snapchat. Once logged into snapchat, you can then return to recovery and install xposed if you want.
I am currently running snapchat with root and exposed. It will work.

Okay. But snapchat does not have issues with root. What custom Rom are you running if any? Just asking as stopping root will disable xposed, therefore allow the use of snapchat.

Hi guys I am having the very same issue. I initially rooted my s7 edge and snapchat was working until recently after accidentally logging out. I now can't login to snapchat!
I do not have xposed installed on my phone so it can't be completely because of root.
How do I unroot my phone? and will this mean I need to create a backup of my phone?
Thanks!

I just installed Renovate Edge 3.3 and snapchat doesn't work. Any solutions?
I don't have xposed, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I'm the one who asked the question 2 posts below yours. I have managed to install Snapchat finally after a whole day or searching.
So... yes you have to unroot and reinstall the stock firmware. This will wipe everything off your phone, so yes you have to back your phone up.
After you unroot, you have to log into Snapchat, backup Snapchat up with Titanium, root and install your custom rom and then restore Snapchat with Titanium.
It worked for me. Now I have Renovate Edge 3.3 ROM and the latest update of Snapchat.
As for unrooting, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69426561&postcount=5
Note: Unrooting doesn't fix Knox trip (warranty stays void)
How do you backup using titanium when you have no root

Thanks for that. I never installed a custom rom although i really would like to. I'm new to the roit world and customisation rom wise so need to do some research on it. At the moment I'm using my s5 as a play toy for customisation.
Regarding the SC i just fully unrooted my s5 then logged in to SC. After doing so i created a back up using Titanium back up. Then transfered data across to my s7 edge and restored data which allowed me to log in. I could have just unrooted my s7 edge, then logged in and then re-root but as a noob didn't want to risk any data loss from s7 edge.
What would you suggest as a good custom rom for the s7 edge? I'm using stock rom and don't currently have twrp installed (I'm still new on twrp front and benefits of it too).
Thanks!
Ignore the instructions about unrooting and reflashing stock firmware..
All you have to do is uninstall Snapchat, uninstall Xposed. Reboot phone. Install snapchat and login, go into Titanium Backup and backup the "app data."
Then install Xposed, reboot, restore the data of Snapchat via Titanium Backup and your set. I used to run into this issue all the time when rooted and using Xposed
I have unrooted my s7 edge and flashed stock rom and the problem is solved in my device.

No problem. I thought you had installed a custom rom. Since you hadn't, unrooting would do the trick. In my case, it didn't work. I had to go back to stock firmware and then use Titanium.
As for a good custom rom, I've only tried Renovate Edge. It's pretty awesome. I did some research and compared popular roms and found out it's one of the 1st built roms for S7 edge and is still considered one of the best.

Few Questions reg magisk, recovery and OTA updates

Hi all,
Basically I want to root my mobile without loosing access to my corporate mail and banking app (which doesnt work on rooted mobiles - and which I assume will work with magisk). I have below queries if anyone can answer will be grateful
1) I want to use adaway, font changer, build.prop hack for api2, all mods in this thread https://goo.gl/PZYFZH & https://goo.gl/fgDMWu (Some of them req twrp). Will I still be able to access corporate mail ?
2) can I just unroot and re-lock bootloader to get and install OTA
3) Will I lose data after point 2
1. as long as you enable Magisk hide + specify your email/banking apps in the menu, you should be able to use them. You might be out of luck if you use Xposed though (it breaks Safetynet).
2. when OTA arrives, restore stock boot image from Magisk, apply OTA and when the phone asks for a reboot, install Magisk to the second, updated partition. After reboot you'll have updated and rooted system.
3. there is no need to relock the bootloader, so no risk of data loss.

Thanks a lot. I installed magisk. Everything is good so far. Any good modules/mod/hacks can you suggest please
Also Reg 2nd point, i dont mind losing all the data. Just in case anything happens, can I flash stock rom, and get the phone back in mint condition?
You can relock the bootloader as long as you have stock kernel, recovery and system. Lazy way is to uninstall magisk ("restor stock boot image"), the safest way is to download stock rom and flash it (with or without data wipe). Btw. Xiaomi is the first phone which did not perform factory reset while unlocking the bootloader, so it's possible that you will lose nothing during relocking.
Personally I'm using these modules/mods from repository:
1. Google framework - to be able to install Google phone dialer from play store
2. Google lens enabler - to be able to use..Google lens
3. Greenify4Magisk
4. Xposed
+
5. Custom made module with these build.prop fixes - enable EIS, camera2api, add more volume steps, fix voice recording noise (there is similar module available at XDA with additional mods which I wasn't interested in)

Also using google lens, mi A1 module by @sooti, iYTB magisk, greenify, ifont, adaway, GCAM mod with hdr+ and zsl. Still exploring

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't support nearby places search and caller ID, the only two features which are missing in stock Mi A1 dialer But with Google framework + unmodded Google dialer, everything works fine. There is only one disadvantage - if you install Google dialer and then boot phone without Google framework module enabled, it will disappear from installed apps and mess up dialer permissions and settings and you'll need to reinstall it later. But IMHO it's worth the risk

Can't get GPay or my banking app to work

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new with ROMs and everything regarding Android, but I've been trying to flash an AOSP ROM, whether official or not, just to get GPAY or my banking app to work on my A20e.
You can download the apps, they run fine, you can add your card and input the SMS code and everything, only problem is at the last step where GPay just gives me a standard error and my banking app gives me a "Digitization not finalized".
I got both GPAY and BTPay (my banking app) to work with the stock rom, so It can't be the card itself.
Has anyone ran into this or managed to fix it?
