[Q] Anyone else has problems with Autostarts?

Anyone else using Autostarts on their S6? If yes, are you able to use it?
This is the app i'm talking about:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en
The app opens fine and the first time you try to disable something Supersu pops up to ask if you want to grant it root access, but after that a white box appears and nothing happens.
Attached a screenshot of that white box.
I've already tried several things but to no avail: flashed a custom kernel so SE is permissive instead of enforcing, deleting the root access and reauthorize it, etc.
It's not lollipop because it works on my Tab S and Note 3 (before) both running Lollipop...
Tried another app as well (forgot the name) and receive a message that root access failed (if i remember correctly). Clean Master and Elixir 2 are doing the job at the moment, but Autostarts is much easier to use for that kind of stuff.
I'm not having root access problems with another apps.

I've not been able to get it to work on 64 bit Lollipop both on my Galaxy S6 and Nexus 9. Wish I knew why!

I will email the developer with the issue.
I the mean time I've started using Myandroidtool which has it also categorised in different events (at boot, connectivity changed, etc.). It's under Receivers Not as good as Autustarts but it's pretty decent.

Anyone get a logcat? Please.
I am adding it to mine via adding the code etc...
So please upload a catlog so I can see and maybe can figure it out.

Root 7.1.1 on Merlin

Hi All,
Need help of this forum in solving a problem. The problem is in two parts.
1. I need to gain root access on my 7.1.1 on Merlin.
So can i use adb to gain root access ? Learnt something like this from giving elevated access to Greenify for doze. Can someone point to the right direction so that i can learn it to do myself and not depend on third party apps.
2. I have given administrator usages to Airwatch Agent which monitors whether i have root or not. If i gain root access then i lose the service and wont be able to view configured mails. So basically i need to root and not let all the apps know i have root. Somehow hide it.
Please guide. Thanks in advance.

Well, basically you are not going to get around AirWatch knowing you are rooted, even with Magisk if their Air Watch server is relatively current... I have tried and tried this (we sell and administer Airwatch for ourselves and lots of customers). Airwatch has been specifically designed to detect King*Root, SuperSU, and Magisk (and it's iPhone equivalents), and it uses far more advanced detection schemes than just SafetyNet, so far it hasn't been bypassed that we have seen on Android 6 and higher devices... (Android 5.1 and older have a different mechanism for bypassing root detection from Airwatch that apparently isn't possible with Marshmallow and higher). Also be aware that Airwatch will flag any device on a custom ROM of any kind too (rooted or not) as an incompatible device.
I don't think there is sufficient need for a detection bypass to be implemented into Magisk for Airwatch, and I am not sure the developers would even consider it, since it would be more about getting around a corporate security policy you agreed too more than just getting around some stupid restrictions from the Play Store or an app developer, but hey, it's worth a shot to ask I guess.
Getting around most apps knowing you have root is pretty simple with Magisk, but Airwatch and some of it's competitors MDM applications are much tougher to deal with.
To be honest you are better to just let Greenify go or to get a separate cheapo device just for your corporate email and keep root on your personal device.

Thats insightful.
Thanks a lot for the comments. I however have not seen Airwatch revoking my device enrollment even when i am running a custom ROM. It just checks whether i have root or not.
And can you guide how to use Magisk to root my Nougat on merlin.

Download Magisk and flash it... If your running a custom ROM with SuperSU or some other root built in, might want to ask in your ROM thread to see the right process.
Odd a custom ROM doesn't do anything weird... We have tried several ROM's on our Nexus device and every one will not allow device enrollment.

Confused

I flashed magisk. It rooted my device. Could use greenify with root and lucky patcher with root too. Which means i have got root access. Now comes Airwatch Agent. It asked for root access And i denied it. So now my device is not unenrolled and i am able to use configured mails successfully. Happy. But confused.

So latest Magisk is not seen by AirWatch... Nice. I'll have to play with it again.

But there's a new problem now.

I lost the root. Dont know why. I actually tried installing supersu from playstore which asked something like- do you want to copy binaries to somwhere and i said yes. To that effect my device was unenrolled by Airwatch Agent. Then i removed supersu and i was able to enrol my device again. But the next morning i am noy rooted anymore. Lucky patcher says root is not stable. Don't know what to do.

You can't mix SuperSU and Magisk... after you flash Magisk you need to install Magisk Manager, but it isn't in the Play Store.
And BTW, don't mention Lucky Patcher here... that is purely a pirating app and users of it are thieves.
I will not assist you with anything to do with that software.

I am sorry if i offended the community. I installed it as a means to achieve background play of YouTube as till Marshmallow, this was beautifully done by xposed mods. But as for Nougat as xposed is still in development, i needed that app.
I was not aware of other uses of that app. Nor do i have any further intention. Actually i tried using OG Youtube and the other app which was needed but that provided for popup only. Hope you understand.

Not really... Background playback on YouTube is a paid service, no matter how you bypass that it's stealing.
Trust me, I don't like it either but I'm not going to steal the service

Magisk not always active?

Hey,
phone unlocked/rooted with Magisk 17.3 - now 2 issues:
1. apps with root rights can not always use them. I have to start magisk app manually, close and reopen the app (e.g. SD Maid cleaning app) and then it has root rights again and works properly
a big problem seems to appear then on AFWall+, which is super slow for me. have to reopen especially instagram 3 times to get connection. I guess this is connected to the same issue with magisk, would be worth a try at least. anyone got an idea how I can fix the magisk issue?
2. apps that check for root (my online banking wont work on rooted phones) cant be tricked by the "magisk hide" function apparently. anyone got experience with that? what can i do?
thanks in advance guys :good:

Flash latest magisk

yup for everyone who missed it....we had to skip v18 but the new v19 seems to be fully compatible #magisk

Can I install SuperSU on the OnePlus 7 Pro?

Hi everyone,
I'm curious if anyone has gotten the SuperSU root method running on this phone. I know that magisk exists but snapchat has problems with magisk for some reason so I would prefer to use SuperSU instead. I already have the latest twrp installed if that helps at all. Flashing the SuperSU zip doesn't seem to do anything so I'm hoping somebody has figured this out already.
Thanks,
TomatoesOnBluRay

just realized i put this in guides instead of questions and answers. Is there a way to move it? Serious noob here.

Do not think anyone has used SuperSU in a few years really. What is wrong with Snapchat and rooted with Magisk?

Snapchat wont get along with Supersu either. At least you could try to hide Magisk from Snapchat

I'm abit curious now, why would you prefer having supersu when magisk works the same way but even better?

it seems like supersu hasn't been updated in a couple years now, so you're absolutely correct. Snapchat keeps locking me out of my account for "using a third party app" even though I haven't been using a third party app. My guess is that it's detecting root somehow even when I have magisk hide enabled, magisk changed to manager, and xprivacylua restricting snapchat's access to files. I even tried using parallel space to copy snapchat into an isolated environment, but it doesn't even log in. It might have something to do with Oxygen OS, but I'm not sure. Although it's unlikely, I'm trying to see if there is a way to install SuperSU on this phone because I know snapchat works as it did on my old phone (if you log in before you root, of course). If it's not possible, I'll just have to figure something out.

You need to Magisk hide Snapchat. Go to menu(top left, 3 lines) click Magisk Hide. Scroll to Snapchat and check it. Clear data for Snapchat. Log back in.

I did this but it didn't work, it still locks my account. Snapchat seems to have some weird form of detection that can't be worked around.

Weird, never had an issue with Snapchat and was always rooted.

I used to have the same issue with snapchat until I started using the Magisk Beta versions, since then I haven't had that issue at all. Which version of Magisk are you using?

Get it up and running, create a backup with titanium and when you are on magisk, restore the data.
Thats how i used to do it when it wouldnt let me log in. But I havent had the issue for years with magisk. Ensure you are using the current and ensure you pass safety net.

Is this app a God on detecting root?

So, I tried literally every single trick to make this app called "Paytm First Games" think that I am on a official rom and I am non rooted. But whatever I did it failed me no matter what. It kicks me out of the app anyways.
The god app's link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paytm.paytmplay
Applications I used:
Magisk with cts & integrity true, the Prop editor module that comes in magisk, Used official fingerprint, tried other roms, without rooting only with a custom rom but with safety net pass, Renaming Magisk, Island.
if there is anything that I may have missed suggest.
any dev reading this please help. I need this app work on my phone.

I read that google has introduced a new API in the last couple months, that detects rooting. I noticed an app I had before that worked under Magisk, will not run now. It is disappointing, because it was just a PDF reader...
There is a XDA thread for installing just SU that does not change the directory structure or patches the bootloader...I dont know if this would work, but you may try it and see.

can you gimme the link of the thread? thanks in adv!
