Hey Guys,
As we all know, our Zenfone 2 has a slightly different method for installing Magisk. It is often confusing to install Magisk Properly and there is sheer lack of proper guides and support for the same for our device.
I was recently looking to install magisk in order to get banking apps to work on my device and also get the play store device status to "Certified".
My Device is as follows:
Device: Asus Zenfone 2 | ZE551ML | 4GB RAM | 32 GB ROM
ROM: Lineage 14.1 Last Official Build and January 2019 Gapps (from openGapps)
Xposed: NO
Any other root modifications: NO
Now, you might be wondering what is the need of this guide.
Firstly, there are no threads that point to the procedure for installing latest Magisk (i.e. 18 and 18.1) for our devices.
I found it depressing taht we only had threads for Magisk 16 and 17.1 and none after that.
Secondly, the method i am going to show you, will work on all future versions of magisk. All very easily.
Thus this eliminates the need for multiple magisk version threads.
I would like to request you guys to report as and when a newer magisk version is released to report whether the method still works. So that we know this is still useful.
So lets start with the procedure:
1. A clean ROM is recommended without any modifications. Else all the effort would go waste if the CTS Test fails eventually.
So, backup your important stuff, format system, data, cache partitions in TWRP and clean flash your ROM of choice along with Gapps
2. Download Magisk from the Official Thread linked Here.
3. Download VerifiedBootsigner v8 from Here. This is designed by the Legendary Chainfire , the brains behind the legendary SuperSU.
4. I would recommed you to finish the setup of your device. i,e, ROM + Gapps first.
Then Reboot into recovery and flash Magisk zip downloaded from the link above in step 2.
5. After flashing Magisk, flash the VerifiedBootSigner v8 downloaded from the link above in step 3.
6. After successful flashing, reboot your Device and open Magisk Manager from the drawer. and Check your safetynet status.
7. You will get 2 green tics.
SUCCESS!

||| Why this guide? |||
Since the "EdXposed" project doesn't reveice the attention it should get in our device section, I decided to make a quick guide for you how to get a Xposed Framework on your OnePlus 6 running Android 9 and 10! :highfive:
I'm not the developer of EdXposed or Riru, nor in any way related to them. Just an ordinary user, who can confirm that it's working on the latest stock OOS 9.x-x with Magisk >18.1 and OOS 10 with a custom Magisk build (20), though not all available Xposed modules work. The list of known working and non-working apps can be found here (spoiler alert: Greenify (beta) and Xprivacylua (beta) are fully working :good - better check that thread before you complain afterwards
If you're asking yourself now, what EdXposed actually is, here's the description of the developer solohsu:
EdXposed: A Riru module trying to provide a ART hooking framework (initially for Android Pie) which delivers consistent APIs with the OG Xposed, leveraging YAHFA hooking framework.

But what is Riru?
Riru is a very simple but useful thing. Only requires to replace one system file, it will provide the ability to Riru modules to run their code in apps' or system server's process.

Got it? :fingers-crossed:
||| Notes |||
EdXposed is still in beta stage. Not all modules work and some bugs might occur, so please, make backups! At least take a full nandroid backup and save your important data (photos, documents, etc.) from your internal memory in a safe place.
Even though you don't need TWRP for the installation and usage of EdXposed, I'd highly recommend to have it in place for two reasons: 1. To take backups and 2. To be able to flash the EdXposed Uninstaller zip in case something went wrong.
On Android 10, SafetyNet does not pass! I'll update this thread as soon as a fix is available! Also, if you upgrade from 9 to 10, make sure to deactivate or uninstall all Magisk and Xposed modules. Some of them might not be support Android 10 right now, activate them one by one (with reboot), after the whole upgrade process is done. For example: "Audio Modification Library" and/or "Audio Compatibility Patch" *work", but make recording of Whatsapp voice messages fail. Be aware that those issues might occur until all modules are updated to support Android 10.
||| Requirements |||
Android 9:
rooted with Magisk >18.x
optional: TWRP (blu_spark TWRP >3.2.3+ highly recommended)
Android 10:
rooted with custom Magisk 20 by soloshu
unlike on pie, TWRP for Android 10 is needed (blu_spark >=v9.107 recommended)
||| Installation |||
Android 9:
It's quite simple, just follow those steps:
(I flashed everything in magisk, since EdXposed and Riru Core are technically magisk modules)
Download the files mentioned in the downloads for Android 9 section on your phone
Have you done your backup(s)? If not, do it now -just in case!
Flash the (latest) Riru Core zip in Magisk or TWRP (magisk-riru-core-vXX.X.zip)
Flash the (latest) EdXposed zip in Magisk or TWRP (magisk-EdXposed-vX.X.X.X_beta-release.zip; YAHFA highly recommended!)
reboot
Install the EdXposed Installer (EdXposedInstaller_vX.X.X-release.apk)
Done!
Open up the EdXposed Installer and check if the Xposed Framework status is active and "green".
Android 10:
If you had EdXposed on your device on Android 9 and now just want to upgrade to 10, you don't have to install Riru Core and EdXposed Manager if the latest versions were already installed.
Download the files mentioned in the downloads for Android 10 section on your phone
Have you done your backup(s)? If not, do it now -just in case!
reboot to TWRP (blu_spark >=v9.107)
Flash the (latest) custom Magisk build by soloshu in TWRP (>= v20.0(20001); Magisk-v20.x.zip)
reboot
Flash the (latest) Riru Core zip in Magisk or TWRP (>= 19.5; magisk-riru-core-vXX.X.zip)
Flash the (latest) EdXposed zip in Magisk or TWRP (>= v0.4.6.0_beta; magisk-EdXposed-vX.X.X.X_beta-release.zip, YAHFA highly recommended!)
reboot
Open Magisk Manager, go to settings->update channel and paste the this custom path: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solohsu/magisk_files/master/custom_builds/release.json"
Install the EdXposed Installer (EdXposedInstaller_vX.X.X-release.apk)
Done!
||| Downloads |||
Android 9:
Riru
EdXposed Installer, Uninstaller and flashable zip
(at the date of publishing this thread, the latest Riru version is v17.1, EdXposed is v0.3.1.2_beta)
Android 10:
Riru
EdXposed Installer, flashable zip
Custom Magisk Build
TWRP blu_spark v9.107

Does it pass Safetynet unlike the previous Xposed Magisk modules?

Have xposed on pie since last week and running well.
App running is gravitybox 9.0 beta 2
And no problems with safetynet.
Very interesting indeed. Thanks man! Gonna check it out over the weekend.
No problem on oos 9.04
How are some of the root sensitive apps working, like Android Pay? Will we be able to update some sensitive apps like Netflix and Mario Run in the Play Store?
I just came from the Axon 7 where it was either Xposed or passing SafelyNet, but not both. I'm gonna look into this for sure! Thanks!

Take a look at the screenshots I posted. SafetyNet passes! And even better, you can "blacklist" specific apps, which means that they're not touched/hooked in any way. Very useful for banking apps or sensitive apps like password-manager :good:
I'm quite sure that you can use Android Pay, though I can't tell for sure since I don't use it. The Xposed gets hardly detected because it "basically" isn't the "pure" XPosed, but a module of Riru. Simply spoken: Riru is a module of Magisk. And EdXposed is a module of Riru

I totally missed the screenshots the first time around. Awesome! After I get my OTG extra storage and make a new backup (large backup) I'm gonna jump on this!
Do we have a thread for GravityBox P on our OnePlus 6 and all the things working and not working? I would start one but I'm working and technically shouldn't be doing this haha

Don't worry I added them just recently
Not for our device specifically. In fact I made this guide here because most people didn't even know that there's a Xposed solution for Pie . But according to the thread I mentioned, it's reported to work. And since OxygenOS is quite close to vanilla Android, I'd assume it will work flawlessly

Did you enable the module gravitybox in xposed?
And which version of gravitybox do you use?

I assume that you flashed a custom ROM and that doesn't work well with gravitybox for pie.
i have no gravitybox installed

Been using for a few weeks, works great op6t.. so should be fine on op6, it's the same phone..
Hey Guys, after about 16 Hours of doing a few tests after Netflix mysteriously showed up in my Playstore on my Rooted S9, I have concluded that there's a strange interference that has something to do with theming a Device and Netflix's Bootloader check.
Currently I have confirmed it working on 2 devices, a Samsung Galaxy S9 (Exynos) and a Huawei P9. Both of these devices have Magisk 19.4 and Widevine L3. I did not install any magisk modules that could interfere with my tests such as Liboemcrypt Disabler.
Here the Steps I took:
1. Install a theming app that works (On my ROMs the only working theming app is swift installer, so If you own the APP or get it from some dark corner of the interwebs, you can follow my steps 1:1, if you only have a substratum theme that's working for you you can try using it, too, and post your results)
2. Theme every app (YOU NEED TO THEME THE PLAYSTORE AND PLAY SERVICES)
3. Let it reboot your phone so that the themes can work (In the case of Swift Installer, it will ask you to reboot 2 times)
4. Force Close the Playstore and clear all Playstore Data (OPTIONAL: Clear Play Services Cache)
5. Open Playstore and search for Netflix (If it says it's unable to install netflix, revert the Theming and do all steps again)
Regardless if it does or doesn't work for you, please post your device and optionally the Step you got stuck at. In the meantime, I will try to find out what actually causes Netflix to show up after theming your phone.
TESTED AND CONFIRMED DEVICES:
Samsung Galaxy S9 (Exynos) - LOS 15.1 - Magisk 19.4 - Swift Installer
Huawei P9 (AL10) - LOS 15.1 - Magisk 19.4 - Swift Installer
