Xposed Status Update for J700T

In searching around for the best (and safest -- recoverable) method for flashing Xposed on an already rooted J700T, I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info. Use FlashFire. Don't. Burn the 32-bit Xposed. No, use the 64! (huh, doesn't the J700T run a 32 bit 6.0.1?) Use this Xposed image. No! Use this one. Have this image available in case something goes wrong and you need to get out of boot loop through recovery. No, that won't work, use this one. And so on.
Could somebody please summarize where we stand on installing Xposed in a stock ROM, rooted J700T, as of today, in terms of best practices? Thanks!
I asked around before to the ones who were using Xposed and got no response either. That was weeks ago. I was going to post what they were using so others will have that information.
Yes the ROM is 32 (dual 32 is what the claim is) but the kernel is built using arm64. Go figure.
I also looked into a magisk Xposed setup so Android pay and Pokemon go would work.
If you haven't got an answer or figured it out yet, I will wipe this phone and start from scratch and post a guide on what and how to install by Saturday.

I was thinking more like a clear cut guide so there will a specific thread to look at instead of combing through a ROM/recovery thread looking for Xposed.
Thank you @mario1634 for helping out.

Somebody also gives a link to the thread of the modified xposed to work on Samsung phones and there is a link to download the xposed zip and uninstalled zips. I'm using xda tabs and it's like the 6 page if that help but I can try to send it to you

Magisk systemless xposed is probably the best way at the moment to have root and xposed.
Little chance of bricking and totally reversible plus with added benefits.

That it is but I have had previous issues with magisk on other devices where my normal root apps not see me as root. I don't use xposed but if the people want it, I will help in getting the info they need.
As far as having android pay and other useful features of systemless (which supersu is now) root is more important for which I extend my middle finger to Niantic.

This your Xposed to flash through twrp.
Save to external SD card then flash from recovery. May take a few minutes to boot.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424962808
This is your Xposed installer apk. Save to external SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
Flash Xposed zip in recovery (twrp) first.
Then after you have booted up, install Xposed installer apk (must go to settings and allow unknown sources).
All modules and framework downloads are at your own risk. There are a lot of tweaks that only work with certain devices and certain Roms. Do your homework and research anything that interests you in Xposed.
I personally don't use Xposed so what modules and tweaks are best is not in my knowledge base right now.
All information came from this site
https://devs-lab.com/download-install-xposed-for-samsung-devices.html
There is an uninstaller on that page in case you feel that Xposed is not for you.

I personally have magisk and systemless xposed installed perfectly on my system. Easiest way to do this is to go to the official xda magisk thread and install the manager and then install magisk. then install xposed via the magisk manager. make sure you download the right xposed manager app which you can find in the official thread as well. so far so good and i am running this on a debloated stock samsung rom.
Basically, because of Samsung new ART runtime, official xposed flash dont work. You have to use an unofficial mod to xposed it.
One of them is the custom-build-by-wanam that @OriginalShinken1 linked above.
P.S: Worked on my J700H stock 6.0.1

I personally use systemless xposed on my j7 and have had no issues. i do not use it for all that much customization but the few modules that i do use it for work great.

Seems fairly straight forward getting root and xposed up and running, if anyone has any info', good or bad using root and xposed on red prime 4, perhaps this is the thread, please state which rom you are using etc etc.
I always had Samsungs before, root and xposed worked perfectly on each, seems it's not quite as straight forward perhaps on this phone.

Thanks below to member Ardrift for the link and info'
I have uploaded the files to google drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9SW1On-CcCac09VTzd5TW5kcnc?usp=sharing First you have to install the apk, then you can download the zip from the app, or just flash the zip that I've included in the folder. It's the same as If you downloaded the latest miui version from the app.
Using the xposed links above, running on 8.2.1, with super su https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...kSiKyUIbkp6Is7kZQ&sig2=nDsK9Xa-mZPzLXoVrHAqcg
phones running sweet. I tried 2 newer super su though had issues with no mtp connection, though with super su 2.6.5..... working a charm, can confirm lucky patcher (latest version) so far has worked flawlessly, no bootloops or lags...
(post write up, found this rom juice hungry after a week or so, with xposed then went epic) must be xposed I thinking.
.
Using eur rom 8.1.3 (after trying global x 2 and epic)
Not using to many apps, phone set up to save battery, cpu on power save etc.
Again my phone battery life sucks big time, seem to spend ages to charge, and depletes in a day.
I have perhaps 10 or more xposed apps, which I like for mods, though feeling maybe miui not really suited to xposed as it's a modified xposed.
Thinking this is the cause of battery drain. Anyone members thinking the same?
I am not using magisk on this rom, though have used it, using the modified version with thanks, though thinking no thanks to using it and uninstalling and perhaps reflashing the rom, or trying another.
Thanks in advance for help re this. Sick of battery drain.
Had similar amount of xposed apps on J5 and battery was ok/good.
Is miui not good with xposed for battery? , Despite the fact it does work

As i told you before that do not use Xposed on This Device ? its draining the battery too fast. so what you have to do is that just install a new ROM from Start and then Root it Using Majisk, and then Greenify. you will enjoy the battery Life then.

How do you install Majisk if you already have root with SuperSU?Do you have to uninstall first SuperSU and install Majisk after?There isn't any good info about making the replacement.Also why Majisk is better than SuperSU and what is the difference?

Well if your device is already rooted then it's ok but why is it important to replace SU with Majisk. So because SU binary are out dated and if you update it, then you will loose the MTP connection with the PC. And only charging work. You cannot communicate with the your device through PC. If you want to go to Majisk over SU then just unroot from SU menu and the install Majisk and then download the latest binary and then reboot device to TWRP and flash the binary and you have done.

I already had the problem with mtp connection even without updating SuperSU.I solved that by adding some lines on build.prop but i don't like this solution.It's very strange that SU binary is outdated, what are these SuperSU updates do then?Anyway, thanks for the answer!

Many people are dropping SU due. To them being sold to a Chinese company that is not trusted. Same reason Xiaomi is still not liked by dev.

J3 Emerge (J327P) Rooting - Which are best files for system-less root and xposed?

OK, so, heres the situation, I got the new J3 Emerge (J327P) from Boost Mobile in effort to cut down cell costs and such. Its a decent phone but I am looking to root it. So I started looking up how to root it and such and came up with a pretty simple guide from google results. It is basically flash TWRP with ODIN then flash SuperSU from TWRP. Simple enough.
Now on my old phone I also had Xposed and loved it so I check and apparently you have to flash that in TWRP as well THEN install the APK? This is kinda where I start getting confused on things too. After looking through some other random pages online pertaining to rooting and xposed for this phone, some pages mentioned "system-less" root and xposed. Another page mentioned Magisk as well.
My question I guess really is which files are gonna give me the best end result of having (obviously) custom recovery, full root (with ability to, if needed disable at will), Xposed fully working (again, with the ability, if needed, to disable at will)?
Some links Ive come across but not read fully cause theyre simply too long.....

The best combinaison is :
- TWRP.
- Magisk v14 (it gives you a lot of possibilities including hiding root and pass safetynet).
- In Magisk Manager you can install Xposed module within it. (but it will trip your safetynet).
That's it
So if I got this straight I flash or install the following in this order?
twrp-3.1.0-1-j327p-14317
Magisk-v14.0(1400) (Which I see includes Magisk Manager 5.3.0?) (from inside TWRP)
Reboot
Open Magisk Manager and install Xposed from there? Or can I flash inside TWRP the wanam Xposed? Is that even needed?

the latest magisk can patch your boot.img. it will flash in odin with no problems. this is the alternative to using twrp. i do not own a j3 emerge but I own a J3 prime with device model SM-J327t1 which has a locked bootloader and is unrootable currently. hope this helped.

I want to root, install a ROM for the first time in 4 years.....

Hi everyone, I used to love rooting and installing new ROMs about 4 years ago, back when most apps would work with no trouble.
I'm looking to get into it again, but after hearing apps like snapchat don't work, it's making me think it's not worth it. I use snapchat for business purposes, so it's pretty important to me personally.
Is their a way i can successfully root and install a ROM on my device while being able to use EVERY app (banking, snapchat etc) without no problems on the HTC U11?
U11 user only, thank you
First would be to unlock bootloader from HTCdev.com
Once you unlock, install the latest TWRP recovery. Then your ROM of choice. All are pretty much rooted and easiest is with Magisk root. I don't anything about SnapChat not working on custom ROM. It works as do many apps while rooted.
Magisk Root has Magisk Hide which hides root status in any App you need. Android Pay, Bank Apps. I don't hide Snapchat from Root and it works.

Some question about Nokia 3

Hello, everybody there!
I managed to unlock bootloader and root my Nokia 3. Actually my OS is Nougat 7.0. I hope some expert may answer these questions I have. If I failed to post such a thread here, please take my excuses by now and move the message where it should have been posted instead.
1. Should I decide to flash the OREO rom for my device, then, will I be able to root it just by flashing the SuperSU zip, the same way I did fot Nougat (with TWRP recovery of course)?
2. Possibile that you cannot find any custom rom for this device?
3. According to your experiences, a device like this, is better to be keept on Nougat, or does it run better on Oreo?
4. About Substratum theme engine. I have installed it and installed practically all of the themes around. To be honest, my goal was to apply the simplest theme of all, the Default Dark Theme. I just wanted to have a dark theme and choose an accent that was different from that cyan/teal you have by default. NOTHING. I got always errors, especially when I tried to apply system / UI parts. Now... is an issue related to the specific device I am using? As you know, Nokia roms are almost pure stock roms, so why cannot I apply themes that claims to be compatible with aosp roms? Should I remove SuperSU and install Magisk, things could work as expected or this is not something related to the point?
5. About Magisk. I would like to test it. I read the thread that talks about this. You provide there the boot.img of Nougat 7.1 and Oreo 8.0. Can anyone provide (or tell me how can I obtain it) the boot.img of a Nokia 3 with Nougat 7.0? Also, I read something about Magisk and modules. I see there is not so much modules to download... and among these, it appears the xposed one... Can you tell me what modules for Magisk justify to move from xposed to Magisk?
Many thanks in advance for your attention, mates!
Regards
Cosimo

5. About Magisk. I would like to test it. I read the thread that talks about this. You provide there the boot.img of Nougat 7.1 and Oreo 8.0. Can anyone provide (or tell me how can I obtain it) the boot.img of a Nokia 3 with Nougat 7.0? Also, I read something about Magisk and modules. I see there is not so much modules to download... and among these, it appears the xposed one... Can you tell me what modules for Magisk justify to move from xposed to Magisk?
Many thanks in advance for your attention, mates!

1. There is a root/twrp thread on XDA for the Nokia 3 covering nougat and Oreo.
All your questions and concerns with a full tutorial (android 7.0 / 7.1.1 + android 8.0) is answered there.
2. There are NO custom ROMs as yet for Nokia 3, but Nokia have released the source and kernel codes for the Nokia 3.
This means development can now start - read the Nokia 3 development thread here on XDA for further information.
3. My Nokia 3 is way better on Oreo than it was on nougat (faster with much better battery life)
4. I've never had much success with substratum on any stock android device, but it does work very well on devices with lineage OS and similar custom ROMs.
Substratum doesn't like stock ROMs for some reason, even pure android ones like our Nokia, but it's excellent on custom ROMs.
5. Magisk is better than SU - there really is no argument there and most people will agree with that or tell you that.
FYI
All the information you asked is readily available in the Nokia 3 threads here on XDA.
Whilst I appreciate you want some feedback, in my own experience following others advice blindly can lead to issues that end in tears........I'll never ask other users for their suggestions or help here simply because the difference in answers is unbelievable and some people make out they know everything and in reality they know nothing at all.
Please don't let anyone talk you into doing something you are not comfortable or confident in doing - I learned that lesson the hard way, with having to buy an expensive device replacement for tampering with a device when I did not know what I was doing whilst others claimed they did and tried to talk me through every proceedure, only to then completely disappear off the face of the earth when I ran into problems.
Never again!
Regards.
