Hi
I don't know this is good section - if wrong, please move
I've made some research why Snapchat doesn't work on rooted phone with Xposed.
So, many people say, that Snapchat checks Android for root, SuperSu, etc.
It's not true. I've installed Snapchat on my rooted Xperia Z2 and it worked.
Done factory reset, installed Xposed Framework ,installed Xposed Installer and it didn't want to log in.
So I thought that snapchat maybe checks OS for Xposed, not as it's said for root and SuperSU.
I have done the same on Galaxy S5, Xperia E4g and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact on Android 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.1 and the results were the same.
So I decided to do everything another way and it works!
My theory that snapchat checks for Xposed once was correct!
To make Snapchat working you have three ways:
1. Clear data of snapchat, uninstall snapchat, uninstall Xposed Installer and flash Xposed Uninstaller zip via recovery. Then after reboot install snapchat, log in, use for some time (5-15 minutes) and then install Xposed Framework via recovery and install Xposed Installer and it should work.
2. Another way is to factory reset, clean install of ROM, installation of Snapchat, log in, use for some time, and Xposed Installation - this is the method which gives 100% certainty it'll work
3. The last way is RootCloak, but it doesn't work correctly, so I don't recommend it.
Hope method nr. 2 will work for you like it worked for me guys

Snapchat is strictly looking for xposed I just found this out because I unrooted, but xposed was installed still and I couldn't log in, but then I rerooted and uninstalled xposed and I logged in so we need an xposed cloak
I finally decided to root and install xposed on my note 5 and I hadnt realized i couldn't use Snapchat anymore. I would love an xposed cloak. I tried flashing the xposed Uninstaller but that put my phone in a boot loop until i installed again.
Not a direct solution, but isn't Casper close to Snap even tho not the official app?
I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
I haven't really had issues with Snapchat, but my Xposed has been a little weird lately.
I pretty much use 3rd party apps these days.

Hey I just wanted to know if there's any work around to getting snapchat to work on our rooted device????
Clear data for Snapchat in settings
Uninstall Snapchat
Download an older version from APK mirror (I think v9.19 worked with root)
Sign in
Make a backup in TiBu (Data only!)
Clear data again in settings
Uninstall again
Download latest from the Play Store
BEFORE OPENING: Restore data from TiBU
You should now be signed in and ready to go. This method worked for me.

Try an even older version.
Just got the Note 5. Switched from the Note 4. I was rooted, but I was on Kit Kat. My snapchat worked fine.
Whats the issue with snapchat? Because I was getting ready to root my note 5. But between snapchat and samsung pay and no strong urge to root yet, I might hold off a bit.

Snapchat is easy to work around. Samsung pay is another story. Personally, the performance and battery life increases I've gotten since rooting and flashing custom roms and kernels far outweighs my urge to use Samsung pay.
Do you have Xposed installed? Try disabling it first then signing in the reinstalling Xposed, because I read somewhere that Snapchat was checking to see if Xposed was installed.
Wait snapchat doesn't work with root... someone should tell my snapchat that.
My snap is and has always been fine even with root.
Had this issue. Remove Xposed completely. Sign into snapchat, install Xposed again and should be good. It is a check for Xposed that causes the issue (not root) but check only happens on initial sign in to Snapchat.
These are the steps that I took to finally get systemless root and xposed. Android pay works now. I thought I would share this. It took me over 5 days of many many wipes and restores. I will also discuss some of my phone quirks in here. The reason why I am discussing these quirks is to explain that every phone is very very unique and if people do not have enough experience, they will end up with very different results
Standard disclaimer: Not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your phone
I also would consider this to be moderate difficulty, its not really for beginners due to multiple pre reqs and terminology
I would consider this very early beta at best, sometimes xposed does not stick, so far I think I finally figured out how to make it stick with every reboot.
I- My phone:
I have V10_H901_V20J_Stock_Custom_2e-signed , so obviously I had to go through the pain of understanding that thread. If your phone is already on that rom , then you must have TWRP in place by now. That of course is a prerequisite.
II- Visit the following threads, Credit goes to all the developers there, I am merely putting it as a write up.
A- This is the main thread, honestly, didn't love the instructions there, hence why I am doing this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
you will need to download the following from that thread ( but I put in the links to the right files)
There is no need to place in any specific folder, I usually put every thing on my external SD
1- Magisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19960&task=get
Place it anywhere you can easily access it.
Edit added 09/11/11: magisk controller app : http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19924&task=get
2- PHH systemless SU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3847928&stc=1&d=1471642336
PHH super user app to work with systemless root :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
B: Xposed systemless thread: here is the main thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
1- Download Systemless xposed: xposed-v86.5-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip form : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3847909&d=1471640756
2- download the xposed material design app to control xposed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19668&task=get
Steps - This is what worked best for me, I have heard numerous times on the v10 stock rom thread that our roms come in with systemless root. I can never get that to work systemless. If you know a better way, feel free to share the knowledge.
1- Back up ! use TWRP, Here is quirk number one from my very special phone: TWRP restores fail if the phone is hot. They do not restore properly. Do what you need to do to keep your phone cool if you need to restore. I have tested this about 5-8 times in the past 3 days. If my phone is pre-cooled ( use your imagination ), it restores 100 % without missing apps or errors. If it gets hot, then I get app crashes, errors, and all sorts of corruption.
2- Uninstall xposed if you have it running on your device - THIS IS A MUST make sure you use the official uninstaller that came with your xposed version
3- unroot your phone. use SuperSU app to unroot your phone: Do restore the system boot when prompted, do NOT restore original recovery, you need twrp obviously.
4- Boot into recovery manually: Now I feel like this is most confusing part about LG phones, and its never really well written:
Power down the phone
hold the volume down
with the volume down being held ( do not let go) , press the power button, until the LG logo appears, as soon as that happens, let go for 1/2 second then press the power button again ( this whole time the volume down button should be pressed ). You will get two prompts of warning, if you are successful, about the device being erased, it will not get erased You will simply just boot into TWRP
5- Flash the following in order , do not queue, TWRP is finicky at best for our phones , never queue
- Magisk from step A - 1
-phh super user A - 2
6- reboot phone. Your phone is now systemless rooted, the root can be turned on/off on demand.
You will find magisk app on your phone, do not start , it will simply crash
you will need to install the PHH super user app from step A- 2 , this is a simple apk from the play store.
then you can mess with magisk if you would like, I will explain it's options later
7- Uninstall whatever xposed controlled app you used to have, install the material design xposed app controller from B-2
8- now that you have root, reboot to recovery, using whatever app you use to simple reboot into recovery (quirk alert: I can never find a way to include reboot to recovery from the power menu, no matter what mods I have)
9- flash systemless xposed from B -1 . wipe dalvik/cache 3 x , wait for your phone for 500 years to boot up
10- you are now systemless. go into the xposed app and check all the modules to re-enable them
11- VERY VERY IMPORTANT: xposed does NOT stick with simple reboots, soft reboot, or recovery reboot.
09/25/16 : update. Xposed now trips safety net. Even if it's systemless. Some reports also say Magisk will trip it. Sorry but this guide is now obsolete.
Great guide works perfect!!!
I'm running this systemless train [powered by magisk] really smooth. I'm running rooted stock MM with no issues at all. I can reboot with G4tweakbox mod, Xposed sticks every time and is very stable.
This probably has been asked and answered a thousand times, but since we can unlock the bootloader can't we just flash TWRP after that and than do these Step?
No

Not really
Here are the problems we faced with MM onwards
1- LG disabled the flash commands with MM, even though its is an unlocked bootloader. Hence why you have other threads with instructions on how to circumvent the good old fastboot flash commands.
2- TWRP needs compatibility with the v20J update. I am not sure if we have any devs working on that
So we are in an appleisk like situation with the newest update. No dev = no further progress, unless you want to loose root and recovery . You have the wonderful people here at XDA to thank for that, who constantly b**** at developers for that.
I Have tons of bugs on marshmallow , but I refuse to update until this situation is fixed. Next phone is nexus. I am so tired of all this BS with all the other manufacturers.

You need to power down your phone fully. Then power up . That is my personal experience. and I have tried it over 5 times and now it sticks with every boot.

Are you using the layers app with hydra installed? Removing it might help you out. Once I did that I had no issues keeping Xposed to stick and may be a bug with v3
This was very well written and easy to follow. Systemless root and xposed are running perfectly! Thank you

Sorry man , I fixed all the links.
I feel like an idiot....I've been trying this for 2 days and no success. Used KDZ to get to bone stock J build, then used the .tot updrade to get TWRP and rebooted, now I have an unrooted stock rom with twrp. I adb reboot into recovery and successfully flash magisk and then successfully flash phh superuser but after I reboot I don't have root.....Can anyone assist?
EDIT: Nevermind.....apparently I was flashing Magisk v3 and not v6...not sure how that happened. I rebooted into TWRP, flashed magisk v6 and then phh superuser and I now have root.
Thank you for the guide.

Trying opening the link outside of xda labs app. I loaded the link in Firefox and now it downloads properly
Can some one provide me an explanation of what it means to have a systemless setup and the benefits of that!?
I installed as you instructed and It mostly works great. Thank you. May I ask what settings you use for Viper4Android (External Speakers)? I am not sure on how to get it working. I installed the systemless version you posted. I am also using the same ROM you are. However when I enable Viper4Android, I notice no difference whatsoever in the sound of my external speakers... Just playing an mp3 via Google play music. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For the life of me I can not get this working with the systemless xposed installed. With just root everything is fine. As soon as I install xposed it immediately fails. I tried the newest version and the version linked in the directions. Viper also works fine. Just not xposed.

OK so this is redundant,so I apologize in advance. But
1- you can not install xposed over the same version without creating problems. You can only go up in versions when installing. Not sure why but this is my personal experience.
2- when all else fails, uninstalling magisk and xposed and re install. If still fails then delete your system partition and restore an older back up (hopefully you did back up). From there repeat the process. Always start with fresh files if it pertains to your problem. Meaning, Re-download xposed systemless.
Good luck

Actually found out Google updated safenet the other night where it stopped working with xposed installed with magisk. Without xposed everything still passes. Had to use the other method of not using magisk and using suhide and that method still works with everything.

It'll have to be a Nexus 6p, or older because the Pixel phones will supposedly have locked bootloader.
Thanks for the great step-by-step directions!!! Had been reading all of these related threads trying to make sure I knew what order to do everything. Followed the steps as written. Checked when I got root, before installing xposed, and SafetyNet showed green. Installed xposed and rebooted - only issue I had here was when it finished updating apps and got back to my home screen - all of my app shortcuts on all screens were gone, including the bottom line. The widgets I had previously were still there. So it just took a few minutes to re-do all my screens - not that big a deal to get all this done!
But then I had the same problem as nookie1916, SafetyNet and Android Pay would not work now. So I tried turning off the xposed framework and rebooting, and that worked - SafetyNet showed green again and I was able to load my Chase Visa onto Android Pay. Then turned xposed back on and rebooted.
So it's not quite the way I wanted it - but I use xposed features much more than I need Android Pay.
Thanks for your help!!!!!
Snapchat doesn't work with rootcloak and rooted phones anymore.
Does anyone know how to get snapchat working with a rooted phone. I have already tried removing XDA Framework and using rootcloack and it didn't.
I refuse to remove root.

Hello and welcome to xda-assist,
we actually don't do technical support, we're here to guide you to the most suitable board on xda
So and ask here again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
I don't use snapchat myself but know from other people that it's working on rooted devices when
A) you install snapchat and login on a unrooted device and then apply root, it seems to work fine when you root a device when snapchat is already running
OR
B) use magisk su, you can download magisk manager from Playstore and depending on your set-up you can flash the necessary files from within the app or flash a zip from recovery in addition to the app from Playstore, magisk has a hide option and is able to make rooted devices pass safetynet, therfore snapchat is working, see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Hey guys,
i finally did it and rooted my device with Magisk. It was horrible to erase all of my data, even if u got a littler backup. So now Magisk and Root works great and without problems, safety pass and so on, but i want to install Xposed to for XInsta and stuff.
So i tried many explanations to get it installed, but i always get into a bootloop. I tried it to install via the Magisk Manager itself. Then with Xposed.apk installed and manually over recovery. I also did what some videos say and gave Xposed Installer.apk permissions and wiped dalvik/cache after the install of the SDK. But i can do what i want, i'll get into a bootloop.
How can that be?
Device is a normal SM-G930F with Stock Nougat 7.0 (SDK24)
you will lose safety pass
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
you need update magisk to 14.3

So i would lose safety pass? Then i would not be the thing i am happy with, because i use snapchat and so on. No different ways? Didn't even know that there's a higher version of Magisk than 14.0.

OK I updated Magisk to 14.3 and with the Magisk Manager I installed the Xposed Framework Systemless SDK24 and what happend? Bootloop. God damn it man.
Ok I've installed Xposed APK previously before framework, but that shouldn't do any difference. So why the hell does is not work for me? Is it because Stock ROM?

1. Install XPOSED INSTALLER FOR MAGISK . APK
2. Flash xposed through magisk manager
3. Reboot
Bootup takes some time. Also for snapchat: once you've logged in, there's no need to worry about safetynet failing to pass.
@iorpheus96
Dude i just did that. Xposed Version 3.1.2 is installed. I go into Magisk manager on downloads and select Xposed Framework (SDK 24). I press to install directly and it reboots, but will never wake up again from bootloop.

I just did that. It was also my idea and i thought maybe that would help but it didn't.
Ok i have news. The systemless does not work for me. Normal downloaded Xposed V88.2 SDK24 worked. You were right. Restart needed much time but worked. I tried Systemless again also, but after 10 minutes my S7 war thermonuclear warm but still booting. I surrendert systemless. The only advantage is, that updates still work or what?
It there a way to install xposed and pass safetynet?
Some guides say it wont pass and most don't even mention it.
There are no known methods to get xposed to pass safetynet while it's enabled. It's simply too invasive and detectable.
Your options are to use an app like xposed switch to turn it off when you need safetynet, or if using the magisk module, disable the module when you need safetynet.
For snapchat you can login with xposed disabled, then turn it on after logged in, and it will continue to work.

Thanks for the answer.
I don't have snapchat so that won't be a problem.
Any other apps that I have to apply this process? Like Android Pay for example? I use that often.
Android pay would probably need you to turn it off.
I have heard that some apps don't actually require SafetyNet to pass in its entirety, only that some aspects have to pass, which Magisk hide can do with Xposed on. But I think Android pay needs a full pass, which can't happen with Xposed on.
That's a bummer. Seems I won't install xposed then :/
