Hello guys,
Yesterday this strange and unknown process "zygote" started asking me root permissions. Obviously I have not given them to it but I'm worried about because googling it I read that it could be linked with Triada malware, that exploits Zygote, this fundamental part of Android.
Anyone knows what the hell is it? Thank you.

A real zygote will never ask for root, as it has it anyway. You got yourself a virus...

I found the problem, it was WhatsApp Extension, a Xposed module. Just deactivated and removed it.

Try to check if there is a new update
I do not have Whatsapp and Xposed and phone is clean but have Zygote asking for supersu. Why?

yeah Same for me :/
I just encountered zygote requesting SuperSU permission today. I have Xposed but not WhatsApp. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Gamekiller also has that
Just happened here: "zygote" requesting for root permissions. Have Xposed installed and barely one single module running (Xtoast) as of now. I've been using Xposed in several devices, ranging from GB to MM and I can't remember zygote asking for root permissions before. This one (Acer S57) is KK 4.4.4, though it's not pure Android and I must say that I actually have a red warning from Xposed installer (attachment), so yes, I've installed under my own "risk". After some research on the subject, I've found some people suggest it could be either a SuperSu (v2.82) bug, or some sort of malware... After checking via Apps2SD emulator (attachment) there's only one zygote process, so I'm almost concluding that most likely, this has everything to do with Xposed being installed on Acer's custom ROM. Whatever; meanwhile I decided to follow suggestions about not granting permissions to zygote since as a "general rule", this is not supposed to happen. I'll keep an eye on this and place this question on the proper Xposed thread, because I'm pretty sure this ain't no malware but something related to Xposed...

I am fairly certain that no app will ask your root permissions. That's just ridiculous and also keep in mind, that applications are developed for locked phones, which means they naturally won't have access to root. There is no reason for them to be asking root permissions.
I also had this zygote pop-up in 2 of my devices and it appeared in both devices after i Installed hebf optimiser..can anyone confirm if it's a virus? I gave it root access to see what it does
warez, piracy, or enabling of them will not be discussed on XDA.
Many of us make our living off software, no matter your beliefs on it, piracy takes from our tables. Earning a living at 99cents at a time is HARD.
Don't be a thief, pay for the work that others do for you.
Came here for answers,i have the same question. This process just popped up, haven't installed anything recently but Google maps did an update so that might be a clue.

I considered appropriate to share "WhatsApp Extensions" developer quote to rovo89's answer on this matter:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...pp-extensions-add-extra-t3452784/post73993216
BTW, a few minutes earlier, I just denied zygote root permission request, this time on Moto G4 Plus... and I DON'T have "WhatsApp Extensions", but a nice amount of other Xposed modules installed. Must watch which one fails to do it's job, I guess... or just do what @rovo89 says.

Heyho,
just came across this thread and read about a similar issue earlier. So, just to leave another hint why zygote is maybe asking for root permissions.
Here is a nice explained article

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but that link you posted made my head hurt. LOL!
Actually, I took my time and read it slowly so my old brain could grasp how it was created.
Someone put a tremendous amount of work into that clever attack.
Thanks for posting that!
hello guys, I installed YouTube+ xposed module.
But it works only on YouTube 12.23.60. As you guys know some feathers are unavailable on old versions.
So, please help me so that
I can use this module with newer version of YouTube.
Simple. You can't. You will have to wait for the devs to update it. Get used to not being on the newest YouTube app. Google updates it more then anything else and if it's not a major update then devs tend not to bother updating their stuff to work with it.

Ok so I've already tried the solution for Pixel 2 devices provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/android-q-viper4android-compatible-t3929914/page2
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the OG Pixel. I've tried combining it with Audio Modification Library and Audio Compatibility Patch to no avail.
Has anyone has got it working so far on android Q? Thinking about downgrading to Pie at this point.
Thank you for any help

Hello, I'm trying to upbring a device to Android Oreo, its the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, but the wifi does not work. In the logcat it says `[email protected]: Failed to load WiFi driver` which seems to be the main issue. Any help on how to fix this issue?

Again the errors seem to be different. Well indeed we need other ROM developers' help here
Unfortunately, here are no active devs for TI OMAP devices. We (galaxy tab 2) have TI OMAP 4430.
Well we may ask other devs (of other phones with other chipsets), e.g. @html6405
I'm tired. I've spent so much effort and time, and this crap doesn't want to work. None of the versions work, all crash right after launch. Magisk 25.2 does not accept any of the fixes (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/aosp-11-gcam-fix.4347811/), (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oss-11-gcam-fix.4353645/)
Maybe someone has a solution? Maybe someone also has alternatives (only with configs, because I don't know how to configure)?
Help please...

Lineage 19.1 is based on Android 12.1, so the fixes above won't work since they are for Android 11.
In the Lineage thread you will find links to many working GCams
