I recently dug out my tab pro 12.2 and bought the Samsung keyboard for an absolute steal. What a combo! Really enjoying the android tablet as a laptop.
Anyway... my tablet is rooted and on 5.1.1. After I updated to lollipop I lost the ability to multi window all my non-samsung approved apps. I've recently discovered and installed multi window commander which has finally enabled them all again! There's not been any mention of this app in all the forums etc that I was trawling for help so this info may be useful to someone out there!
Other apps didn't work for me and I didn't want to go down the route of deodexing / xposed etc so this worked out great!
Hi. so after almost a year and a half of using my 6p I'm kinda getting bored of this "stock" experience HA
Miui8 is ported however it is so out of date and it doesn't support xposed so it is not really ideal. after searching i found out that Flume 6 form Meizu have rolled out in beta this April and I was thinking if anyone here is having planes to port it for us. I am gonna follow this guide to try and port it however i have zero experience in this so I am not sure if it is gonna work out for me:

If you are determined to use Xposed then you need to stay on a Marshmallow based Rom, so whatever Rom you find that is compatible with Xposed is going to be dated. Xposed never worked with Nougat based Roms and Android is already testing Android O. Unless you like outdated versions of Android Xposed is pretty much dead.
Hello! I've modded already some devices, but I never got in my hands a device that lived so long.
Since I cannot find any infos about using latest Magisk on a such old device and I don't want to mess it up, I wanted to ask here some questions.
First: generally, is ok to use a recent version of Magisk on every device, or there are some devices with some kind of differences that needs a "custom" or "specific" version of Magisk?
Second: is ok to use directly the Releases on https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases ? I saw that this is the only official way to get it and that magiskmanager is not a related site.
Third: any advices on modding the P8 Lite 2015?
Model runs MIUI 4.0.3 and it's on Android 6. It's the single-sim version.
I already have TWRP working and phone is factory-reset. Yes, I had access to my unlock code, so it was pretty painless to unlock it.
It needs to be fully functional, so I cannot use custom ROMs (it seems like all have problems with YouTube and/or Camera). If there are some advices here, I'm free to listen.
I was planning on installing Magisk (root, generally) to uninstall Huawei crap plus a better control over kernel, if there is any on this device.
Hello XDA.
Ive spent a few hours now reading OP8P forums, and got some rough idea of what I'm getting my self into.
I bought a OP8P, its coming to me within next 10 days. I bought it brand new from T-Mobile in Croatia (Europe).
This is my first time owning a Oneplus, my current phone is Galaxy S7, before that i had an S5... On these two i got some experience with custom roms, rooting, flashing, twrp.... But i didnt do anything to my phone in the last 2 years, its been stagnant... and the knowledge i gained... well, if you don't use it, you lose it..
It always seemed that oneplus had great support in XDA community, but from all these threads I read in past few hours, i gathered some confusing conclusions.
What i expected when i made the purchase is that I would be able to have a stock up-to-date OxygenOS, with root (magisk), twrp, xposed, banking apps working, youtube vanced, photochrome camera...
But..... seems like i would have to go through a lot of trouble achieveing all of these things, deciding between OOS 10 vs 11, if they're even achievable with some of the knowledge i kept from my samsung days...
So here are a few questions i would like answers for...
1. When i get the phone and start it for the first time, am I going to be running OOS 10 until i manually upgrade?
2. Do you suggest I stay on OOS10 or upgrade to OOS11?
3. If i upgrade to OOS11, can I have any of the stuff i mentioned that i expected?
4. I saw some user saying if I decide to root, i should not be using modified/patched boot.img... Why is that? (btw i don't recall ever doing this back in day, would love some info about it...)
5. Is TWRP possible, whats the new META?
4. Is there anything else i should know before doing anything, also I wouldn't mind if you would explain all this to me like im five years old
Thanks in advance!
I'm a op8pro owner, and I have Magisk (22.0), and root without twrp (no recovery yet suported for android 11 on this device). You have to patch boot.img with Magisk. Not a big head ache.
Photocrom camera not working on 11 as before on android 10, and I tried two existing methods (it works, but no "X-ray" feature).
Since android 11 is in its stable release, new devices should come with it, but not sure.
All apps mentioned, Root and non Root are working just fine,
Thanks for replying.
Could you possibly link the guide which I should follow, and save me from something outdated, since I might not be rooting my OOS11 from inactive slot on OOS10
Thanks again!

Thanks, just read through it, really simple! thanks!
What do you think are the chances of hardware-based attestation being enabled on my phone? slim chance or?
Forgive me if I post this in the wrong place, move it if necessary np.
Xda has been my go to for many many phones over the years. Many years. But recently I've grown a little deeper interest with the phone I currently own.
I need some clarity if anyone could please.
I've got a OnePlus 8 pro IN2025 on lineage 20 (whatever latest build in relation to the date on this post) and rooted with magisk 26.1.
Everything is running awesome. Even been able to remove a few Google system apps I despise.. this setup is reminiscent of a couple phones I've run on CM.. I thought those days were over.
So much appreciation to those keeping development alive. Much love.
To the point:
I'm trying to run as much of nethunter as possible without flashing it (and maybe I have the wrong idea so please correct me)
To my understanding, nethunter will require me downgrading to Android 12 with some other ROM - crdroid etc..
Flash twrp\ nethunter - then I have the nethunter ROM installed.
Problem is, I'm still a little attached to some Google stuff. I limit it, but there that is.
I've got the Kali app store installed and a few toys I can play with -
Question is, when I flash nethunter, is it like flashing any other ROM? Thats it. Or is there an equivalent to a "USB live version" that's temporary.. have I gone as far as I can without flashing?
I'm not interested in getting rid of lineage in favor of nethunter.
Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome!
