[FACE UNLOCK] for Stock Zen UI Oreo (8.0) - Asus ZenFone 3 Themes, Apps, and Mods

As always- I don't care what happens with your device, it burns, vaporizes, melts, freezes becomes a nuclear gun or whatever due to this guide. I'm not responsible at all. It would be fun to watch your phone get bricked though.. ​
What this guide will tell you?
It will tell you how to get face unlock on your stock rom, just in case you don't want to use any custom rom and then also need the feature.
WHAT DO I NEED?
> ROOTED stock firmware.
> Magisk framework installed and active.
> Xposed framework installed and active.
> Your Zenfone 3
WHAT TO DO ?
> Root your phone (obviously)
> Install the magisk framework via twrp.
> Install xposed framework too (Either use the xposed zip directly or install xposed systemlessly via the magisk module).
> Once you have both running. Download, install and activate the following modules:
*GOOGLE FACE UNLOCK module--From magisk
*INSTANT FACE UNLOCK---From xposed-- This is not mandatory but it removes the need to swipe to get past lock screen
> reboot your system once to activate all modules.
> To set up face unlock navigate to settings>security>smart lock>trusted face and add your face in it.
and done..
special thanks to @lcnghulam for telling me about these modules.
Screenshots attached.
+++++++++++ after recent updates from Asus, face unlock has stopped working as mentioned by users. Idk what's the reason, maybe the Ota update has removed or modified any important stuff. I'll try to find some way to get it to work, might take time.++++++++
"A click on thanks :good: is always appreciated"

You can install the framework from Magisk manager itself.
For apk Google "xposed for magisk", find the xda page for it and install the apk from it.

Works flawlessly. Only a little slow compared to my one plus 5t, but I know why

Hi, I have installed both Magisk via TWRP and Xposed Framework via Magisk Module, had restarted the device and follow the instructions until saved the face recognition, but still didn't work on my phone. Am I missing something?

Custom roms have inbuilt face unlock.
Just flash nano gapps or higher.

Reboot the phone once, make sure all modules are enabled.
Try removing all unlock methods like fingerprint and add them back. Then add new face.

I always used open gapps, these are recommended by the dev and most stable.

face unlock works for me by installing Google Face Unlock v.1.1 by DennySPb, Mi 5 Arsenal, RIShukhov. for android 8.1 but working fine on the latest oreo stock 8.0.

Xposed on 5.0.1

Has anyone had success installing xposed framework on the m8 running a stock rooted lollipop rom? I have tried multiple times following the guide in the xposed thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 with no success.
It worked for me on adrenaline 2.1 but not on a couple of other roms I tried.

I downloaded the files from the link I posted above..
Install the xposed installer .apk
Reboot from within the installer and grant root privileges.
Flash the framework via TWRP
I have also tried to flash the framework first, install the .apk, and reboot from within the installer to grant root.
Neither way has worked for me.

I have it running on stock rooted, here are the steps I took.
Flashed the xposed arm zip file in TWRP
Installed the 3.0 alpha2 apk
Once installed I went into "framework" and hit soft reboot.
Once the phone was done I installed a module/made it active and soft reboot again.
I don't think you have to take these exact same steps but this is just what I did following a YT video. In "framework" it always says "Installation is only possible maunally via recovery for now." in red letters. That confused me into thinking it was not installed properly but all the modules I'm using are working fine.

I have tried to install this exact same way. After flashing the framework and installing the alpha .apk, I activated greenify and rebooted.
Upon launching greenify, I saw a yellow dialogue box that said auto hibernation service has stopped (auto hibernation worked fine before trying to use xposed) I attempted to enable the xposed features and a screen popped up telling me to install the xposed framework.
I have since restored my nand backup I made before flashing xposed, and greenify is back to auto hibernating, just cant use the xposed features.

Have you tried installing other modules? Looking around the greenify sections here on XDA seems it wasn't ready for 5.0, but there is a beta thread that you may want to take a look at.

[MOD] Xposed Framework for Mediapad X2

Easy Android ROM Customization Through Xposed Framework
Here is Xposed Framework for the MediaPad X2. This allows for future customization of a lot of different things on our devices. Thanks to kpcheang2 for finding the original page with the download links.
Besides the usual customization we can do with Android launchers and Android widgets, we also love to try new features that available on custom ROMs. But custom ROMs can be unstable and buggy sometimes and the process to flash over to a new ROM is very time-consuming, especially if you need to restore your backup and app settings.
Through Xposed Framework, by just downloading and installing a ready-made module you can make modification (modules) to any element of the OS or the app itself without the need of flashing a new ROM. For example, if you ever need to skip YouTube ads on your android, download the module for that, install, enable and reboot your device for the effect to take place immediately.
Prerequisites:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-TWRP Installed
-Be On B106 Or B109
Instructions:
First, install Xposed Installer by opening the apk and hitting install as you would any other app.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4N29ueEwtalBVUE0/view?usp=sharing
Second, boot into TWRP and install the Xposed Framework:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4cThvN2RkU2dOdkE/view?usp=sharing
After rebooting you will have working xposed framework on your phone. Open it up and in settings check "Disabled Resource Hooks" Now reboot once more. Now you need to find modules that work. There are modules for pretty much anything you want done to your phone. The problem is none of them support our X2 yet (or at least none that I've tried) This is just a start as I'm sure there will be modules coming out to support our devices. After installing a module go into Xposed Installer and into Modules and check the Module you want to use in there. Then restart your phone foe the module to take effect.

Thanks ! I plan to try out in a few days after I get myself up to B109.
goes into bootloop
goes into bootloop on stock b109 i had it running fine on kang vip
Bootloop, too
I'm using the 702L with ajsmsg's B109.
--- Edit:
With B106 by guduke also a bootloop
With B109 KangVIP I got the error "framework is installed but not active, please check logs" (these are empty)
Re-Install and/or Restarts takes no effects.
I'm giving up...

Please let us know with which configuration/build (whatever) you're able to run xposed. It's much more important for me then a "current" Android build. To ensure the right result, I suggest also to upload all relevant files to get your config.
Many thanks in advance.

Could you be more detailed about which 'resource hooks' are to be disabled? I suspect so my problems with exposed are tied with some settings. I am running B109 KangVIP debloated , but not so heavy as @ajsmsg78's.

You're right.
With deactivated resource hooks option, I can active the framework.
I also activated xprivacy but the module say's only "restart required" ... it doesn't work.
I'm so close to the target .... just one step left.
//Edit: After more installed modules, I was able to activate xprivacy successfully

in the xposed framework app settings you see the option just check it and your good to go
When I had the Ascend mate 2 I had edit the build prop to get xposed to work. I had to change the
" ro.config.hwtheme=2 change the 2 to 0 and reboot
I used apex launcher with that because it disables a few things.
does this work with b110?
I had a bootloop when I tried it, so if anybody already has it working with b100, I'll try it again.

Hello, the installation failed, because I "GEM-701L" and this is Android 5.0, 3.0.5 EMUI.
Please much can be done to Android 5.0 (SDK21)?
THANKS!
From your phone:
! Wrong Android version: 5.0 / SDK21
! This file is for: 5.1 / SDK22
Error flashing zip xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip
Try to upgrade to a 703L ROM. After that try to install xposed. It should be working.

I'm not sure if then (flash on GEM-703L) I have a functional LTE as the GEM-701L?
Many thanks for the advice.
You need to upgrade to B106 or B109 for this to work.

We all have the same problems...
But Huawei's support for internation models are ... not existing. So we all want to upgrade our models to a 703L ROM to get new updates (like announced Android 6) and to improve our phones.
It was a hard and long way to unlocking, rooting and installing of the xposed framework. And I'd say, nobody will also make it possible for the "only-one" user, who wants to stay on a 701L ROM. There are too many restrictions, too many limitations and no further updates from huawei. I really don't see a reason to stay on this ROM. My 702L works fine with the 703L ROM.

[Q&A][FAQ][TW][N][7.0][SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8] SuperMan/SuperStock-Rom

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.

-> in TWRP, format data
->install latest BL and CP from OP
-> flash rom -> Clean install

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..

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.

Pokemon Go Joystick!! (No allow mock, No root, No softbans, Nougat 7.x.x) 07/24/17

So, I've been toying around with this idea of getting a spoofing app into the system files without root and I finally did it!
Do not set as mock app, if it works you just need the settings below for GPS joystick. If you enabled mock app as GPS joystick you will rubberband (jump location).
Flash v2
Update in playstore
Setup settings below
Version 2: Click here (link fixed)
Pokemaps:
Singapore Pokémon and raid map
Philly Pokémon and Raid map
Pokémon and gym finder
This method requires TWRP recovery
Once install check to see if you are tripping safetynet (playstore checkers)
If so, just keep your stock recovery handly to flash in odin.
If not, well then you don't have to worried about changing back to stock (means you can flash this and other mods without tripping safetynet, such as bootanimations)
First download file and place on your phone
Next reboot into recovery and flash file
reboot
Next, (if needed) flash your stock recovery so you don't trip safeynet anymore.
Now, Open GPS Joystick
Click menu button and click settings
Turn on the following:
Enable Indirect Mocking
Enable System Mode
*Must Enable this option* Disable Location (Will need to disable and reboot if you need Maps or other gps app, but can enable and reboot to lock your spoofing location anytime)
Finally, after you turn all of those on reboot and open app and set location.
No jumping
No soft bans (unless you jump from new york to singapore in under 2.5 hours)
Full spoofing with no root needed!
Tested on Sprint s6 edge plus running Nougat.
All Sprint Samsung devices s5 and up should 100% work with this.

No, you just need to flash twrp as your recovery and flash zip, then just turn on those settings above, that's it. Your location will be locked anywhere you set it with no jumping at all. If your jumping you need to reboot after you turn on those settings. Pretty much with root you would move it to system but since safetynet is in place and blocks most root this will place the file in system from recovery with no root needed.

One thing I noticed when trying to flash it on a Galaxy S7 with Android 6.0.1, is that it didn't like the app being put in priv-app
I recommend putting it in /system/app where it does work.

How to Root XZ2 (probably also XZ2c) in Android 10

Android 10 comes earlier than expected, but there's no twrp to flash Magisk to gain root access. I tried to use SAR method to patch boot image, and it actually worked:
Requirements:
- A PC with ADB environment setup. * If you are using macOS, try to use a Virtual machine instead.
- XperiFirm to download Android 10 firmware.
- Magisk Manager App.
- unsin.exe program to extract sin file. Download here.
Instructions:
1. download the latest Android 10 firmware from XperiFirm, the current one is 52.1.A.0.532
2. open the downloaded folder and find boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file. it may vary on XZ2C, but it surely will start with `boot_X-FLASH-ALL` .
3. drag the boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file over unsin.exe to extract boot image, then you will get boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img in the same directory.
4. Copy boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img into your phone.
5. Install Magisk manager app, and make sure your phone is connected to the internet
6. Press Install → Install → Select and Patch a File, and select boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img
7. Copy the patched image from your device to your PC, then flash it with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
after reboot the devices, your XZ2 is should be rooted, but it probably not pass SafetyNet Check, you can use MagiskHide Props Config Module to fix it.
I can't find the way to leave the boot image and patched boot image down below as the attachments, but even if I did, I still suggest to do it manually, just in case I am an idiot and it might broke your phone.

This is independent of any android version.
Unlocking the bootloader means erasing all important cert keys, image enhancements (both on screen and on camera) and revoking the security verification of some applications.
Thanks for posting this! Figured I'm chime in with my experience:
1. I'd recommend wiping userdata when upgrading to Android 10 - I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but I do know that I haven't experienced the unresponsive fingerprint sensor issue others have mentioned, or any other issues.
2. If you want to use Xposed modules like GravityBox, don't install EdXposed! The versions in the Magisk stable repository are not compatible with Android 10 and will bootloop, and even the beta version 0.4.6.0 from https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases doesn't work with any module I tried.
3. Fortunately, https://taichi.cool/ works perfectly with GravityBox! Install it along with its Magisk module, and then install GravityBox Q beta 6 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v10-0-0-beta-1-android-10-t3974497.
works on my xz2c
@everyone who is interested in getting EdXposed working with Android 10
You need to add the following Magisk modules:
1. Riru - Core 19.6 from here
2. EdXposed-SandHook-0.4.6.1 from here (not the YAHFA version!)
Further you need to install the most current Xposed Manager app from here (the default Xposed Installer app won't work, so deinstall it!).
After a soft reboot, it should work :good:
Most probably it'll break Safety Net (have a look inside Magisk Manager). As a workaround, you have to open Xposed Manager and black-list the following:
- Google PlayStore
- Google Play Services
- Google-Services-Framework
Reboot system
Done!
> Apply your modules (maybe not every module will work. I have successfully tested AFWall+ and XprivacyLUA)

Hello, thanks for this little tutorial !
However, on another thread, ppl aren't singing the same tune ! Look at this answer that I get. @Ænimal explained me that YAHFA version should be better, especially if I want to use XPrivacyLUA.
I guess I should follow your instruction, but I downgraded my XZ2C to Android 9 from 10. I don't know if it will work as you.
I tried with this version of EdXposed : magisk-EdXposed-SandHook-v0.4.6.0_beta.4471.-release.zip and after installed Riru succesfully, I installed SandHook v0.4.6.0 and I get a bootloop issue on my phone.
So I guess I have to try SandHook v0.4.6.1 and if it doesn't work I should try YAHFA v0.4.6.1.

I tried with this version of EdXposed : magisk-EdXposed-SandHook-v0.4.6.0_beta.4471.-release.zip and after installed Riru succesfully, I installed SandHook v0.4.6.0 and I get a bootloop issue on my phone.
So I guess I have to try SandHook v0.4.6.1 and if it doesn't work I should try YAHFA v0.4.6.1.

I've always used to install YAHFA builds till android 9, with no issues. So, while you're on android 9, YAHFA is the answer!
SandHook builds, on android 10, FOR NOW, seem to cause less error than YAHFA (at least in the logs - verbose/modules), that's why I'm using it.
But, as soon as EdXposed's dev releases an android 10 YAHFA fixed version, I flash it!

@everyone who is interested in getting EdXposed working with Android 10
You need to add the following Magisk modules:
1. Riru - Core 19.6 from here
2. EdXposed-SandHook-0.4.6.1 from here (not the YAHFA version!)
Further you need to install the most current Xposed Manager app from here (the default Xposed Installer app won't work, so deinstall it!).
After a soft reboot, it should work :good:
Most probably it'll break Safety Net (have a look inside Magisk Manager). As a workaround, you have to open Xposed Manager and black-list the following:
- Google PlayStore
- Google Play Services
- Google-Services-Framework
Reboot system
Done!

Hell yeah ! This method worked for me !
I have a XZ2C (H8324) on Android 9 (build 52.0.1.8.131), and I follow step by step your tutorial, and everything worked like a charm !
I installed XPrivacyLua, it seems working. I'll post here if I have any issue to report !
Thanks !
Backup TA
Thank you for your post
Sorry for going offtopic, but can someone give info on how to safely backup TA? I spent two days but couldn't find any info on how to do it on (at the moment, latest) stock Android 10 (52.1.A.0.532) on H8324 (XZ2c).
The way I understand for this root procedure to work, I need to unlock bootloader, and that means losing DRM keys. Is there any info on how to restore bootloader and DRM keys after I finish rooting my device?
I tried to:
1) Downgrade to stock Android 8.
2) Use backupTA_v2 or FlashTool to backup TA.
But that doesn't work.

Hello there,
If you unlock your bootloader on Android 8, DRM keys will be lost on Android 8 so you'll lost camera definitely.
However, on Android 10 and 9, you won't lost DRM keys. Take care, you'll loose camera preview on Android 9 with this version of build and lower : 52.0.A.3.84.
So better to upgrade at least to Android 9, and the lower firmware where camera isn't bugged at all when you unlock bootloader is Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131).
Conclusion : for rooting your device, you need to unlock your bootloader. If you're running on Android 10 (build 52.1.A.0.532) then, everything will be ok, I did it myself and everything worked fine.
If you need more help on how to downgrade your firmware, just let me. Personally, I didn't like Android 10 so I came back to Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131)
So, if unlocking bootloader on android 10 we won't lose the DRM keys or any other functionality?
