[Q]; Is it safe ? Yes it is.
[Q]: Will it work for my device ? Try it and U will find out ...
[Q]:Unroot possible ? Sure use option in SuperSu apk or better backup recovery/whole stock rom.
Since many users proposed to me to create a new thread for fullroot of Galaxy Core 2 phones ( some models ), I decided to do so.
It's made for stock recovery for Galaxy Core 2 and for latest update of it.
Stock recovery for G355HN and any other custom recovery.
GC2 stock recovery phones have not fully working SELinux recovery support and the CF instalation of SuperSu won't work. Read : it also work in permissive mode.
Custom Recoveries :
TWRP :

Original developed by @cleverior.ipul http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...alaxy-t2990852
If you have working CWM / TWRP/ Mobile odin ( recovery with full SELinux support) you could use update script from ChainFire to obtain fullroot and install SuperSu or use latest update script by me.
What needed :
Galaxy Core 2 phone with android 4.4.2 able to goto stock/custom recovery, no other preroot attempts needed like preinstalled busybox,preinstalled init.d, because all this need the preroot access and installation.
This update zip is made specialy for G355HN devices. Tested on Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355HN on 4.4.2 Android on both stock roms available,
but it should work on some devices Galaxy Core 2 with stock/custom recovery.
How to :
Code:
1. Shut down your phone until last vibe ... it's OFF !
2. Enter stock recovery - hold 3 buttons (Menu + Power + Vol up)
3. After init select "apply update from external storage", press power button to enter
4. Select the previous downloaded zip . The file you have previously copied to extSdCard - and press power button ...
5. The script will run ...
6. If all goes ok, your phone should be rooted.
7. After boot android will upgrade - Superuser apk ask for update su binary.
8. No internet connection is neccessary for this step ... Select continue,normal way and wait for the success.
9. Hit thanks if it worked 4 you
Thanks for Superuser and binary goes to Chainfire
Powered by SuperSu !
And finaly :
About OTA updates and system status, CF Auto root options :
After rooting the device your system status will become custom ( Device status : Custum ).
You can check it in Odin mode ( download mode ), check current BIN and System status .
You can reset binary flash counter with Triangle Away but you cannot fool OTA update program so easy.
When you are rooted you can't check for updates OTA. There was a lot of chat about whether you had to defrost various apps etc. to fool the update feature. Using Wanam Exposed, under "Security Hacks" you get the option to change (fake) "System status" from "Custom" setting to "Official", and thus allowing you to check OTA using Samsungs update feature. Much easier than having to check Sammobile every day. Hope it helps someone.
... but the OTA removes root, so you have to root the updated version again. The almost same is with GravityBox.
CF auto root by Chainfire is still not available for GC2. Still waiting for it.
Any other posts regarding those 3 questions will be deleted by moderators.

You can always update your phone via odin,kies or any other updates, only OTA updates are not possible - for now, accept if you flash stock and update it throught OTA.

Nope, I have the Samsung Galaxy Core II SM-G355HN. It's completely new, bought through my mobile carrier. I updated the mobile to the latest version, 4.4.2.
Then I just intruduced a microSD card, transferred the required zip, and followed the easy steps. I've been using my GC2 for 2 days and I'm so happy I found this thread. I removed all the bloatware and all the apps I didn't want, then I installed Nova launcher and now this phone is so fast. I recommend you to install Nova launcher cause, in spite of being way faster and quite more responsiveness than anything else I've seen, the Touchwiz version that comes with this phone is awful, it's different from any other Samsung interface I've ever seen, I hate it. Besides, Nova is ultra customizable, I love it so much that I bought the PRO version. With the stock Touchwiz of the GC2, you can't even create a shortcut to "Manage Applications".
Cheers!

Hi its not working for me too :/ Superuser saying im using 4.3 then my phone is 4.4.2 so could u explain me that?
You don't need to install SuperSU first, it's automatically installed when rooting. I think you gotta have a 4.4.2 GC2. Why don't you update it through Settings/About device/Software update?

First of all read the thread. Mine root zip's are powered by SuperSU and not superuser !
If you have problem please state the problem what are you using and how . BUT FIRST READ THE THREAD CAREFULLY !!!!
worked for me.
This totally worked for me.. from rooted kinguser you'll need to flash it again to stock after that it went out smoothly... Thank you so much buddy... if you ever going here in Philippines, the beer and the chicks are on me.
No need to do that.The recovery update flashable zip first deletes all posible root apks and binary and cache data.Then installs the SuperSu apk and binary.
It works on stock recovery only.

Hi, StratOS_HTC, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core II.
Everything is working fine, but when I check for new updates through "Settings/About device/Software update/Update", a pop-up message appears and says something like:
"Your software has been modified, you can't update"
If I go to "Settings/About device/Status/Device status", it says Custom, and I've read that in order to update the phone through carrier's way, the Device status should be Normal, not Custom. These are the solutions I've found, though I haven't tried them, cause may be I shouldn't update the phone.
If it says modified then you could try booting into recovery (I'm unsure how, don't have the device) and wiping your cache, then rebooting. There may be lingering fragments of data in your cache from previous updates that are causing the modified message to appear.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Core II SM-G355HN with Android 4.4.2 (the one that came with the phone). I've rooted it using your method, I have SuperSU, I also installed Xposed framework and GravityBox so I can make some tweaks that I really need in order to use my phone as I want. I also use Nova launcher.
Which one of those things is not allowing me to update the Core II? Is it root? Xposed framework may be? Or the tweaks I've made with GravityBox module?
Thank you!
"Your software has been modified, you can't update"
Samsung has made their own check programs during boot,recovery and OTA update.
The system status changed if you root the phone. The partition can be written to (rw), so primary the whole update procedure or modified system has primary been modified just because of the root procedure and Samsung checks.
You can change the status via Chainfire's TriangleAway, but not the whole OTA procedure.
If you read the post regarding Samsung checks you will find a lot of stuff, but primary the GC2 stuff is different.
Wiping the cache and unmounting SDCard doesn't work for out phone if you want to update throught OTA.
Use Kies and Odin.
Not working OTA update is tipicaly just because of the root and rooting and samsung checks.
You can update/flash it throught Kies/Odin. and root it again or use the rooted integrated roms/flashes.
All right, first of all:
Where can I see the release notes of the new update? May be the update is not worth this whole process...
Second, if I download Kies and update the phone through Kies, do I lose all my data in the phone?
Can I update it using Kies the normal way? I mean, connect the phone, open the program and click update.
Thanks!
So how can i do unroot
It works for me. So how can i do unroot. For personal reasons(I can not install app to external card)
In SuperSu apk there is a option "full unroot" use this for it.
You can use some apps to install or move apps to extSdCard.
But I think that stock kernel support only fat filesystem of extSdCard,correct me if I'm wrong,havent tried it.It would be great to have some ext partition and swap on extSdCard too,but for that we will have to recompile and add modules for fs to kernel.

Good day everyone, this is a guide on how to enable Xposed on EMUI 3.1 (Working tested by me using the deodex method) and EMUI 4.0 (Working tested by me also and confirmed working by @Blackball,). - (Update using the deodex method 10-4-2016)
First of all the original guide for making this work on Huawei roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765. Ty @mfbcool for your guide and help. Please follow his instructions to the letter for making it work on our device.
- ([15-4-2016] New Instructions on the original thread no need to deodex the rom files, a working xposed zip has been developed for Huawei devices just flash it in twrp and do the build.prop modifications before you flash the zip for your version of rom. Already tested by me)
So my role in this is to highlight all the tips needed for making it work on our device, and the issues i faced when doing it. ([15-4-2016] The original thread is self explanatory, all of the tips here are already mentioned there this thread was created when we needed to deodex the rom files. So forgive me if i am not adding much.)
Notes
- I think a lot of the members were installing the wrong xposed files for our device we need the ARM-64 SoC files for our device because it's using the Kirin 930.
The Tips:
Lollipop:
1. The xposed files needed for your device are under the heading of: on Lollipop 5.0.x is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0. (If you are on Lollipop 5.1.1 is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1.1, if Marshmallow: Xposed for EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
2. Make sure that after you install the xposed apk , you go to "build.prop" in /system using any file explorer with root and edit the line "ro.config.hwtheme=1" to "ro.config.hwtheme=0" and then save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop. why editing the build.prop is important because without changing this the framework will not be active, you will get a red message saying framework not active. The only way to activate it is by editing this line or in the xposed app go to Settings if you enable "disabled resources hooks" doing that and then restarting will activate the framework but whatever module that uses resources will not work. So the only way working without affecting the modules is editing the build.prop file.
Marshmallow:
1. Make sure to add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0 and ro.config.hw_theme=0 in build.prop in order for xposed to work and make sure to save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop.
If you follow the original guide exactly and the tips you should have no issues making Xposed work.
P.S: By the way first boot may take a while (15+ mins), So don't be afraid.
Special thanks again to @mfbcool for his guide & help, and @pudup for directing me to the guide.

I cant install xposed. When i install it, after reboot i get black screen with only one button of the navigation bar (i can access the shutdown menu from lock key, and i can access and the notification pannel, but nothing more). This is solved when i install the uninstall file.
My phone is already rooted. I firstly installed apk, and then installed xposed via twrp. I've tried to wipe the Dalvik but it doesnt solved.
My p8 is gra-L09, lollipop. Used this files: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v80-sdk21-arm64.zip, xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
What AM i doing wrong?

Did you deodex the rom? you have to deodex in order for xposed to work for Huawei devices, which version of Lollipop are you using?.
I flashed today the C636B320 Marshmallow firmware, and then i deodexed the rom per instructions to make xposed work on Marshmallow.
First attempt i failed because i didn't wait enough, you see the screen will get stuck on Huawei boot animation without any sign that anything is happening(no app update notification card like in Lollipop) for like a 20+ mins. Then voilà the phone booted normally. Also exposed is working fine no issues, make sure to flash xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip instead of the latest one v81 which doesn't seem to work for me.

Hello guys, I open a Question and Answer Thread for all SuperMan Rom users, so even users under 10 posts can ask their questions here.
Below I added some basic Q&A stuff which can also be found at the main thread, if you have any question, read through them before posting, thanks!
In case you search for the changelog have a look: Changelog post
If you want to see my post with all useful links such as TWRP, magisk, xposed and more visit: useful post
Basic Questions:
Q: How to get into Download Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume down + power on button until you see the download mode.
Q: How to get into Recovery Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode.
Q: My Phone is stuck at boot and doesn't start, what to do??
A: Update your bootloader and modem. Also make sure you have made a fresh install of the rom. Bootloader and Modem can be found in the OP. Another problem can be that you are didn't decrypt your phone. To fix this read below how to disable encryption.
Q: Do I need to update bootloader and modem after every update?
A: It's recommend to update your bootloader and modem everytime there is a new base yes. The developer will tell you if necessary on every rom changelog.
Q: I get verification failed at start up!?!? My phone is broken now?
A: Yes, you have to buy a new phone now. Just kidding You did not disable force encryption in TWRP (how to do so you will find below in how to decrypt your phone).
Q: I get verification FRP LOCK? WHYYYYYY???
A: Very simple answer, you did not enable OEM Unlock in developer options. Now you need to flash full rom with odin again and start from scratch. But don't forget to enable OEM Unlock this time!
Q: Which devices are supported at the moment?
A: Current supported devices are: SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8. Snapdragons are NOT supported
Q: Is this rom working on Snapdragon 820 variants?
A: No, sadly not.
Q: I want to change something in my rom setup, how can I do that?
A: Simply reflash the same rom version without any wipe and than choose the correct things you want.
Q: Some features are not present in this rom, but they are on stock rom, so where are they?
A: In aroma installer you have the option to select bloat you want to install or not, you probably didn't select all package, this is why it's missing now.
Q: After a clean install my phone is overblated with many custom settings. What to do?
A: Open my romcontrol, grant it root permissions and then my default settings will be applied.
Q: Will you add X or Y feature?
A: You can kindly ask in the thread for that, if I like your suggestion I will think about adding it to the rom.
Q: You said you fixed SD card RW but Titanium Backup can't write to external SD card, why???
A: This is because of googles changes concerning SD card, to fix this open Titanium Backup, Menu, Preferences, Backup Folder Location, Storage provider and than hit DocumentProvider Storage and select your SD card. Problem solved
Q: I can't find X and Y mod. Please help
A: I've added many links and useful stuff to this post here. Hope that's what you have been looking for!
Q: I want to have my external storage like an internal as well. Google introduced it with android Marshmallow, but I can't see this option?
A: Just follow this Guide here and you can setup your SD card as normal storage
Q: I got a new strange icon appearing after nougat update. What's that?
A: This is a new advanced calling feature introduced in android nougat. Should make your call quality better or something like this. To hide it please visit following forum: Get rid of RCS icon
Questions concerning rom updates:
Q: Do I have to do a full wipe for the new version?
A: It is always the best option to make a clean install, otherwise please don't come and report bugs!
Q: But I don't want to make a full wipe when only small stuff changed!
A: For updates using the same bases you can install the rom with a dirty flash. BUT with a new base a clean install is highly recommend!
Q: What steps should I do to update to a new version with a full wipe but keep all data?
A: There are some different ways. One way is to make a backup with Titanium Backup, you can backup all Apps and Preferences there. Make sure to store this backup on external SD card (if you have one). Second way would be to save your data onto a google account or samsung cloud and restore it after a clean install.
Q: I miss an apk after rom update, how can I get it back?
A: Simply reflash rom and select "dirty flash" in aroma + select the app this time in aroma.
Q: My battery life is so bad and performance is very poor after an update!?!?
A: This comes actually not form the rom itself, dirty flash can cause problems even if only some small things have been changed. So simply install it clean again and it will solve your problem.
Q: Performance and battery is very poor even after clean install. What should I do now?
A: I assume you installed Xposed than, some modules can cause batterydrain and performance problems. So try to make a clean install of the rom WITHOUT xposed installed.
Questions about log and logcats:
Q: I got FC's and other Problems with the rom, what to do?
A: Take a logcat for me, developers use to say: without a log, it never happened . A logcat can be grabed with a PC and ADB installed, simply type: adb logcat > log.txt while your phone is connected and the error is happening. Same can be done if you have a terminal installed on your phone. Simply type adb logcat > log.txt and you will have the same output as on the PC.
Q: What kind of logs can I provide to help you?
A: Logcat: This one is for general infos about FC's
DMESG: this is for kernel related things
Last_Kmsg: this can be used after a random reboot
Q: How to get logs?
A: 1. Connect your phone to your pc
2. Make sure you got usb debugging enabled
3. Install Minimal ADB tool
4. After install open it and type: adb logcat > logcat.txt, adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log, adb shell cat proc/last_kmsg kmsg.log
5. Send me the file you got
You can also send me a log created by your phones terminal with the exact same commands!
Questions about RomControl:
Q: None of my romcontrol changes do anything, why are you such a bad dev!?!?
A: The problem is not on my end, you installed stock systemUI (which is STOCK and does not support one single mod). Use another one in aroma instead. The same thing can happen with good lock!
Q: Romcontrol gives FC's to me. HELP!
A: Very simple answer here: wipe data and cache from superman control application. Also make sure storage permissions are given to the romcontrol.
Q: Romcontrol still FC after cleaning data and cache!
A: Make sure you allow storage permission in main settings.
Q: I try to backup my current RomControl setup, but it won't work?
A: It works. Just make sure to enable storage permission in main samsung applicatoin settings. You will find it in internal sdcard under RomControl folder.
Q: I can't restore SuperMan control settings after a clean base update, why?
A: Backup for SuperMan control only works as long as you use the same version of the app, I mostly change very much things in new releases that's why it won't work there.
Q: SystemUI reboot doesn't work in SuperMan settings app, why?
A: Since Nougat update, you need to install busybox in order to get this button working. Without busybox the button will just do nothing.
Q: I enabled weather on lockscreen but I can't see anything...
A: You probably didn't setup or even installed samsungs weather widget. Without it weather on lockscreen won't work too. So reflash the rom with the widget installed this time and set it up.
How to go back to stock:
Q: I like to go back to stock rom, how is this possible?
A: I can provide you here all steps which are needed to go back to a full stock rom.
0. Make a backup and than wipe all partitions in TWRP
1. Go to Sammobile and choose your country
2. Download the file and the attached Odin on sammobile
3. After downloading, put your phone into download mode
4. Make sure drivers are installed and your pc can detect your phone in odin
5. If the box in odin turns blue, add the AP file to AP tab, BL file to BL tab, CP file to CP tab and CSC_HOME to CSC tab
6. Hit start and wait until it is finished.
7. Reboot and you have a stock rom again
Questions about Encryption:
Q: On TWRP there is an error about /data mount, what to do?
A: Your device is encrypted, follow the steps below to get rid of your encryption.
Q: Help, I never had a code and now after installing the rom my phone asks for a password??
A: Your device is still encrypted, on step 0 of my rom instructions it tells you to be sure you're not. So, what do you need to to in case you are still encrypted.
A: HOW TO DISABLE ENCRYPTION:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe
3. Select format data
4. Then you manually need to type "yes" with the keyboard
5. Confirm the wipe (this will remove the encryption)
6. Reboot your recovery
Q: Is there a way to get rid of encryption which is simpler?
A: Not really, you could also wipe data with stock recovery but this is quite a big hassle so above method works better.
Q: And if I want to use this rom with encryption?
A: Normally we can use the stock kernel to encrypt our device, but since the Android 7.0 Nougat update samsung makes a check kernel sides to block deodexed roms from booting. This means that even the stock kernel is build by me to disable knox and tima. So encryption won't work there and you have to encrypt your device after you set up your phone. After that go to settings, security, encrypt device. It may need some additional steps to work...
Questions about CSC/Signal:
Q: Where has the CSC selection gone?
A: To include all csc files, the rom get way to big, so it got it's own thread now, take a look here: CSC installer
Q: I have a weak cellular signal, what can I do against it?
A: Two things: first, install your providers CSC using CSC installer and flash in TWRP or flashing stock CSC with Odin. Second Thing: You can install the modem from your provider, also find your modem on Sammobile and install it with Odin in CP tab.
Q: I don't have all sHealth features, how come?
A: Not all CSCs include this feature. I recommend to use AUT or DBT as it has the best compatibility!
Q: Can I flash MM CSC on N and vis a verse?
A: No, this is clearly not recommend! You can and will face call fc's!
Questions about Xposed:
Q: Does Xposed work yet on Android N 7.0?
A: No it does not! You will end up in a bootloop when you flash it on android N
Q: I selected xposed but now I don't see an app for it?
A: Maybe there went something wrong with installing the app to /data/app from my installer script. But xposed is actually installed only the app is missing, so head over to the download page of xposed app: Material Xposed Thread
Q: I selected xposed but the app shows not active or something else with xposed is not working.
A: This can have 2 reasons:
1. You have installed latest xposed version without installing magisk, magisk is required for most recent xposed version!
2. You used 86.2 xposed (which does not need magisk) but you did not install supersu. Since 86.2 does not use magisk to be systemless it uses supersu instead!
Questions about Magisk:
Q: How can I pass safetynet?
A: 1. Make sure to fully uninstall SuperSU by chainfire
2. Flash most recent 2.4.3 SuperStock Kernel
3. Flash Magisk V12
4. install latest Magisk Manager from playstore
5. Open Magiks Manager, go to settings
6. Enable MagiskHide, systemless hosts and systemless busybox
7. Reboot the phone and check safetynet!
Q: I got out of date binary issue?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 there is no need for phh root anymore. Everything is handled inside the MagiskManager apk!
Q: Where can I configure the root settings in Magisk?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 Magisk uses MagiskSU, you can find it in latest Magisk Manager V4.1
Questions about Snapchat:
Q: Even when I did not use xposed during my setup in rom I can't login to snapchat anymore!
A: Snapchat got updated and now detects even root access on your phone!
Q: What to do to login to snapchat then?
A: Clean install the rom without root and xposed and login to your snapchat, save the app with titanium backup, flash back xposed and root. For the next update of the rom just restore snapchat backup in TB.
Q: Any other possibility?
A: You could enable MagiskHide and check Snapchat inside it so root will be hidden from Snapchat. You will be able to perfectly login without any issues.
Q: I want to discuss this problem a bit deeper. Should I do so?
A: Do that, but this has nothing to do with this rom, so please go ahead and post your experience here on this Snapchat Thread.
Questions about Kernels:
Q: I want to switch kernel, how?
A: Since we have systemless xposed and systemless supersu, we have patches in ramdisk of boot.img. This means you have to reflash Magisk and supersu (or any other zip that changes some stuff in ramdisk partition) after every change of kernel!
Q: Synapse shows no UCI support!
A: Most comon issue is that no busybox is installed. Download the one from here: Latest busybox and flash it in recovery.
Q: I got random reboots, heeelp!
A: This is most likely from a custom kernel, if you face random reboots please check if you have the latest kernel installed or switch back to the stock kernel included in the rom.
Q: My screen is kind of yellow/orange and the touchscreen doesn't work at all!
A: You have chosen the wrong kernel in aroma selection. Reflash the rom without any wipe selecting the right kernel version.
Questions about Root:
Q: I lost root after installing this rom. What to do?
A: All mods (like supersu, phh's root, xposed and magisk) are stored in ramdisk of kernel boot.img. So if you flash this rom, and after this another kernel, simply reflash your preferred root method and it will work again!
Q: I selected phh root but my phone tells me I am not rooted!!
A: There are two possibilities:
1. You have mixed supersu/phh with magisk.
2. You did not install phhs root app from playstore.
Q: I get a warning about binary out of date. Help!
A: That happens on latest Magisk V11.1. Reason: Root has fully moved into Magisk Manager, no additional app required. Uninstall phh or supersu apps and only use magisk!
Q: I want to use su hide on my phone, how to do so?
A: Both below variants are outdated, I recommend to use Magisk with its build in MagiskHide. Check the thread: Magisk Thread
Link to phh's hidesu: Phh's thread
Link to chainfires suhide: Chainfires thread
Hi,
I have a bit of a silly question. I have enabled the torch to be turned on by the volume button but now want to turn that function off and can't remember where i enabled it from. I have looked everywhere but can't find it. Are you able to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.

downloadable files verification
Can some one verify that all of the downloadable files on the OP are the correct ones?
Can't seem to get it working, the steps I follow, are as following.
-> flash to stock rom from sammobile
-> OEM unlock
-> flash latest TWRP
-> in TWRP, format data
->install latest BL and CP from OP
-> flash rom -> Clean install
result is a non booting superman rom.. What can I do? I have been trying for DAYS now...

There are several reasons:
1. Encryption is still enabled
2. BL/CP was not successfull
3. You mixed your settings about G930F or G935F model
I noticed a few things in aroma log when it was installing
failure to boot.img extracting ramdisk failure, aborting, is this something that's causing the problem?
I am still not getting it right..

Right at this point I am wondering why snapchat doesn't want to log me in. There's no xposed or snapprefs on my phone, exposed uninstaller was flashed. Does this come familliar? There has to be a workaround without having to use bluestacks right?

Someone said that it even checks for root now
Okay, here's the solution. If you find yourself having trouble logging in in to snapchat on a rooted device without xposed framework installed. Make sure to search for xposed using root explorer, delete all system files manually.. For some reason xposed uninstaller did not completely remove every xposed file in my phone.

Better than stock, have Apps2Sd working fine (which is a must on this tab unless you only use 2 apps ?), but can't swap SuperSU for MagiskSU anyhow.
Method:
backup your data,
ensure coming from Lollipop, not KitKat stock, (I had this but had to reflash to fix corrupt cache partition - couldn't wipe - so I'd be inclined to flash LP just for good measure),
flash TWRP (below),
factory reset wipe + system wipe,
flash ROM,
flash patch,
(I then flashed Magisk SU (any) which fails, but removes inbuilt SU first which causes TWRP to offer to apply root which I accepted and this causes SuperSU manager to prompt you to finish setting up root and handles this properly. Don't have to do it this way, but simpler than enabling inbuilt root in developer settings if you want root.)
Boot system,
Boot to TWRP and flash Open GApps (I used Nano - stock boots but has issues with Pixel Launcher).
Setup Apps2Sd (need to select Enable SU during boot and deselect Mount namespace separation in SuperSU manager settings to let simlink stick on reboot).

In the Aroma installation files, I changed only the updater-script by removing the following lines:
=====
package_extract_dir("commands/Root", "/tmp/Root");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unzip", "/tmp/Root/Root.zip", "META-INF/com/google/android/*", "-d", "/tmp/Root");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "sh", "/tmp/Root/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary", "dummy", "1", "/tmp/Root/Root.zip");
delete_recursive("/tmp/Root");
====
I also removed the root folder and rezipped the whole thing. I wanted to root it myself with the version I wanted. But, the installation goes through without a single problem. Once I reboot to system, bootloop back to Samsung logo them TWRP. I can install and run the unmodified zip but as soon as I touch something inside even to debloat, I get bootloop.
Can anyone help me or guide me into what I am doing wrong. It's a v7.0 stock ROM but with a default root that I want to remove. I also wanted to debloat it but again...bootloop.
The basic question would be: How can I modify the zip file of a ROM without a bootloop when I know that the original.upload boots without problem.
Hi, maybe it's time to move to stable Android 10 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425
V8 thrpugh 10 all have terible camera issues which makes facebook messenger and photo editing so tiring and unusable. The best experience I ve had so far is with nougat where everything works besides some normal samsung stuff that I do not need.
Stable Android 10, 9, 8 or 7.1.2 on S6 is never possible. Hwc Bluetooth camera, crackle voice in messenger, Echos by calling, draining battery like hell, GPS issue, Network and connection issue, sim detection problems, and many more **** did you call stable? Lineagos for S6 and the hole family are just unofficial Port from other devices.

You did make the mistake to belive that the Word Root stands for Admin rights in this way...but here it means directory. Btw it is just tmp...temporally. Stock Rom did not have root/admin rights. Stock Rom did not have Aroma. Stock Rom is from Samsung...the original.
Maybe its possible to uncheck the root/admin option in Aroma or you just install the root/admin by Aroma and after flash is done...you select your own rooting Tool like magisk or supersu or what ever and Flash it then. So you overwrite the one from the Aroma package.
To debload the Rom you just search here or anywhere for a debloader for your Phone. Flash it in recovery Mode.
To manually delete apps you download the App "Systemapp remover (root)" with a Red icon from playstore

The author of the ROM I am using is not answering my PM so I feel free to post the ROM I use to install. I am using Samstock ROM. I tried to find a ROM that was as close as stock as possible with no additions or tweaks from the author. I want to debloat and install things by myself. So I downloaded the ZIP file and tried removing just one bloatware from apps or priv-app and it does an automatic Boot loop after installation. So I am wandering why I get boot loops when removing files from the zip installation file. And, the author has commented that the section is to add root. So yes, I wanted NO root installed so I can do that myself amongst other apps to remove.
Basically, I want the phone, textos, contacts and the basic functione like blutooth, wifi and other hardware necessities and remove the rest. I will decide to install Google apps if I want, I will decide if I want root, I will chose which Gallery app I want and which video player. And I want to reduce the file size for a very small, portable stock nougat rom. Thats what I am atemting to do.
