Hi all. I've read through a few threads here and I've followed their instructions regarding getting Snapchat working.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but i cannot get the app to work. I'm currently using the "On the edge" ROM and i have tried removing xposed framework via recovery and also unrooted however still no joy I'm afraid. Also i did try the root cloak module through xposed however that didn't work for me either [emoji20]
Any insights would be great!

Any luck? Do you have links to the instructions on how to get it working?
try to:
install stock rom
install Snapchat and login
make a backup of Snapchat (apk and data)
install the "on the edge" rom
restore the Snapchat backup
try it
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.

just wondering if you could elaborate on Xposed not "sticking"?

It will say in the xposed app that xposed is installed but not active.

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
Can someone provide me an alternative link for PHH systemless su? OP link not working for me

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!!!!!
IIRC, When you have a rooted device, Snapchat refuses to work? Has that been rectified?

Snapchat only refuses to work when you have Xposed installed. At least that's my experience. So Everytime I flash a ROM I make sure to log into Snapchat BEFORE I reboot for the first time after restoring Xposed and it's modules through TiBu.

It also blocks root users from logging in now. Install snapchat and log in before rooting.
I use a Titanium Backup of the app in its logged in state and restore that to any phone with root/Xposed.
Hey guys! I got problem. I can not logged to snapchat with my NOTE EDGE (SM-N915FY) on THAT ROM. I try backup by titanium backup in stock rom where I can log in before I rooted it. But when i restore apk+data after few second snapchat automaticly logged of me. I have no idea why this don't work. Maybe someone have the same problem and solve it. Help me! I use magisk root with hide but on stock and custom rom they don't pass SafetyNet and i don't know why.
Hey just saw this by coincidence and know the problem and the solution:
Snapchat gets blocked on rooted ROMs including rooted stock ROMs. I managed to get it to work by doing Titanium backup of a working version and then restoring it on my rooted device. Have a look at the two links below. Instead of Bluestacks as some recommend, I'd probably use the Nox Android player. Getting root on it is easy:

Good luck.

Sir how can I go back in kitkat version of note smn9w816
Hello there
I am running a custom ROM on my Galaxy S8 and it is rooted using Magisk rather than SuperSU. SnapChat works fine with Magisk as it does not detect the root, however I've tried everything with the Barclays Mobile App but I just get stuck on the first screen and nothing happens afterwards.
At first it used to ask me to grant it root permissions and of course I did, but it has never actually worked.
I am not completely sure, but I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that my device is rooted.
Can someone please shed some light on this? I really need to get this application working as it is important for me. Do I have to go back to completely stock in order to use this application?
Thanks!
yes, it doesn't work on rooted devices. One of the ways that it tries to detect root is by trying to get root, as it happened in you case. By granting it root access, you marked your phone as rooted, and disabled the app. In case you were wondering, it has many other ways to detect root. It used to work with magisk hide, but I tried just today, and it seems that they can detect it too, as I can't use it anymore. By the way, your phone is flagged as rooted, and you will either have to do a factory reset to get it working, or call Barclays, but I think that there is no way to get it working. If you find out how to get it to work, please share it.

Barclays app worked for when I was using magisk v14. Since update magisk v.15 barclays app stop working. If you can try to install magisk v.14
P.s. I was using magisk v14 and somehow magisk updated itself to v.15
