True. But OP did not state that he is on Nougat.
So if he does not provide any info on what system he is on, I will assume something
Also I don't think it will take long until Xposed runs on N. The devs have made a lot of progress on that and first test versions seem to run already.

Xposed Beta for 8.1 (SDK27)

Xposed was released for Oreo! Been so long don't know where to start.
EDIT: (I was just being dumb)
Grab the systemless version. Easiest way is through Magisk. Just make sure your on 15.2 or grab it via the link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

I think the best method is using the systemless version for magisk, I just tried it and it works.
Simpy go into modules and you will see the sdk27 version at the very bottom: tap on it, you see there is an updated xposed manager apk made for the new magisk version.
Download the apk, install the module, reboot, install apk, reboot.
Works with no problems

Enjoy

I feel dumb but I don't see xposed anywhere in the modules section of the Magisk Manager app.
Is there some other way I should be finding modules? I click on the hamburger menu and then downloads and there's about 30 or so listed.

Never mind. I figured out I had to be on Magisk 15.2. I was on 14.5.
So anyway I downloaded the Xposed Installer that is linked in Magisk Manager and installed it. Then I installed Xposed inside of Magisk. The only problem is the Xposed Installer crashes every time I click on a module to download. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I confirm, I don't know if it's caused by Magisk or because it's just a beta...
Anyway there is a workaround, instead of downloading the module from xposed manager, download the apk of the module from internet (official repo website or from whatever you want), because when you are going to install and enable the modules there are no problems, and after a reboot they're working.

Updated op to reflect install options. Happy modding everyone!

Success! ?
.. now for that network speed in the status bar hehe

has anyone succeeded in using xprivacy? I tried, it said xprivacy is not enabled.

Uh for some reason my downloads tab of Xposed just constantly says pull down to refresh and offers no modules

Don't know if it's supported. Of course you rebooted? I'm sure a lot of things will need slight tweaks to work on Oreo

Yeah I did everything the same as the way you installed nougat Xposed systemlessly. Also the framework module caused a lot of choppiness on my phone so I uninstalled it anyways

Just a head's up that MinMinGuard causes my Pixel to start crashing like crazy

I have been thinking of installing this since last night, but with it still in beta and modules still needing fixed for 8.1 I just can't see any reason (other than something new for me to play with) that will benefit me enough to deal with the SafetyNet failure.

How is Xposed for 8.1 now? Any updates on this? Thanks! @sliding_billy

Alrighty, thanks. I got a question for you senior member, of all the roms you've tested, which has the best battery life even if compromising a little performance? Thanks. Also, any interesting things going on for our og pixel?

I am happily enjoying the stock ROM on my XL and I keep the same installed on my wife's Pixel. I spent years swapping out custom ROMs on various devices and expected to do the same when I got the PIxels (very shortly after released almost 2 years ago). After the initial shortage of custom ROMs (due to the new OS engineering method) subsided and plenty came out, I realized there was nothing I was missing enough to deal with running custom and not being able to do a monthly update that takes me literally less than 10 minutes. Besides not missing anything, there is pretty much no bloat I need to get rid of, and the device still runs great even with a handful of "always on" apps. Probably best for you to look at the development sub-forum and do your research there and ask questions.

haven't used xposed in years. Is it still worth it with the recent android OS's?

That's like asking, "which tastes better, vanilla or chocolate?" Make a twrp backup, and give it a try, what you like, another may hate. For me, it's fun to add features when I'm using a rom that is lacking in that department.

[FORTNITE] Play Fortnite android w/o root and with root (unlocked bootloader)

Play Fortnite on a rooted or unrooted device with that unlocked bootloader​
Hi XDA, I want to show you how to play fortnite with an unlocked bootloader without and with root, here are the steps
Disclaimer: This method will stop the use of magisk modules and magisk hide denies superuser privileges for the root apps hidden, proceed at your own risk and I am not responsible if your account gets banned or for the normal reasons (Thermonuclear war, etc.)​
Without Root
Flash one of these kernels listed
KingKernel by kingbri (self promotion)
Flash Kernel by NathanChance
Stock Kernel with safetynet patch
Use EX kernel manager to check if the kernel is installed
Disable USB debugging
Install Fortnite
Profit
With R00T (Magisk modules will not work with this method)
Flash magisk and one of the kernels listed in the unrooted guide
Open magisk manager and grant superuser to all root apps (This is important later)
Open Fortnite installer and install fortnite but DO NOT OPEN IT
Use magisk hide and manually check all of your root apps + the fortnite installer and fortnite app
go into magisk manager settings
Click the "hide magisk manager option"
wait until the app closes out and a few seconds after that
enable magisk core mode in magisk manager settings
Open a file manager and delete the magisk manager folder as well as other folders such as EX or Alogcat
Disable USB debugging
Launch Fortnite
Profit
Always remember to un-hide root apps when you want to use them and hide them when using fortnite, otherwise, you will be kicked for their stupid "security"
Need an invite? Here's a fix
Open up build.prop in a file manager that is NOT CHECKED ON MAGISK HIDE
Edit build.prop to have these lines
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.build.product=star2lte
ro.product.device=star2lte
ro.product.model=SM-G965F
ro.product.name=star2ltexx
Save and reboot
Open magisk manager and magisk hide that file manager
Open Fortnite
You should be able to sign in
If you want to, revert your build.prop to the original settings and you will magically be invited since you participated on a "Samsung Device"
Feel free to rant about Epic games security here, because i'm pretty pissed at them for doing this.
Thanks to this youtube video for showing me how to bypass root checks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ystVcsFjJaE&t=157s

No, when I go to the the kernels he linked I saw that the stock kernel with safetynet bypass was for pixel devices. I need a kernel with safetynet bypass but for my OnePlus 5

What y2grae is saying is that this is a Pixel XL forum, so obviously the kernels will be for Pixels and this method has most likely only been tested on a Pixel XL. You could find your own kernels and see if this method works for your phone as well.
I can confirm that following this guide worked for me. I can for the first time play Fortnite on my phone.
Edit: I just uninstalled the Fortnite Installer once Fortnite was installed. I don't see the point in keeping it unless I am missing something.

You must keep the Fortnite installer installed. It's what installs updates to the game, and you cannot play on an un-updated game.

stupid question, but i played it on my galaxy s8. but how do i install it on my essential phone now? i dont have any invites. its not that i play it mobile but its nice to have. (and im about to unlock and custom rom my essential phone so yeah..) looking to find how to get it working after that

There is a Reddit Thread that makes it appear like installing Fortnite from Samsungs Galaxy Apps will give you a chance at getting the Galaxy Skin.
I might try using my build prop editor/Galaxy Apps apk and seeing if I have any luck.
Anyone have any input or thoughts about why this might or might not work?
Edit: Seems to be working so far. I changed my build prop, downloaded the installer again and a pop up displayed saying "play 3 matches and unlock the skin in 24-48 hours. Only time will tell if I get it.

Did it work for you? From what I know, after spoofing it to be more 9, you still have to play 3 games but every time you try, it'll kick you out after you jump out of bus which won't let you complete the 3 games you need for he skin.

I was able to play the three games successfully but I don't think I'll be getting the skin from it as I played them over the weekend and it has been well over 48 hours.
There was a thread in the Pixel XL forum that guided you through playing on a rooted device and it works, but editing the build.prop isn't good enough to trick the game into giving you the skin. I read on a reddit thread that the Tab S4 can award the skin multiple times if you factory reset it because there is no imie linked to it so I might try using that instead.

Understood. I have a question: What makes the particular kernels in the first post so special that they pass safety net? I ask because i have a different device (Galaxy Note5) and im not sure which kernel will support passing the latest "invalid response" error that Magisk is currently having. I'm not asking you hunt kernels for me, but what determines it. I looked at the kernels that you suggested on the first post but they didn't mention any notes of patching safety net.

The Kernels have nothing to do with the 'Invalid Response' that Magisk is giving you. Magisk gives the 'Invalid Response' not because you fail SafetyNet Check but because Google changed how the API works and Magisk hasn't updated yet to work with it. Even with the 'Invalid Response' you most likely still pass the SafetyNet Check. This has been a known issue for a week or so now.
I believe he chose those Kernels because they include a few extra measures used to hide root/ pass safetynet.

Why you don't post your question in the appropriate magisk forum or thread to receive more specific answers at least from didgeridoohan https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228

Try to wipe system and flash ur current setup again with the latest Magisk. I'm sometimes getting strange issues but that always helps

I had magisk 15.4 and everything worked properly for a long time. But suddenly Google Pay refused make payments because of modified system. I've upgraded Magisk to 18.1. I've checked SafeNet test in Magisk and was passed OK. Separate app for SafeNet tests was OK too, but Google Pay still refused to work. Then I discovered the Google Play shows my device as uncertified. I found the answer which resoled both problems at one time:
Clear the data/cache of the Play Store and Google Play Services.

Question Google wallet and root

Has someone managed to launch google pay with root without any problems? I have safetynet-fix, I tried custom props, but if it is active, the finger scanner does not work. Now it doesn't even work with props. It costs zygisk, I did it according to the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-google-wallet-pay-with-magisk.4471279/

We need a modded safety net fix with new wallet apk.
