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.

This worked perfect for my J7007 T-Mobile with PD3 firmware.
Following instructions completly
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/how-to-install-xposed-j700p-t3430886
My Pixel will arrive in a few days, I'm excited. I want root for things like custom firewall, ad blocking, filesystem access - but I need to be able to use Android Pay for work. I've been doing some research on how to make Android Pay work with root and have a couple questions. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help answer these.
First, let me summarize my understanding. Root requires an unlocked bootloader. Android Pay uses SafetyNet to check for both root and an unlocked bootloader. These two things must both be addressed.
To get around the unlocked bootloader check, flash a kernal that's patched to circumvent the SafetyNet check.
In terms of rooting, the most recent and seemingly best method for doing so looks to be ChainFire's SuperSU v2.78 SR4.
Magisk can generally be used to easily get around the *root check*, but probably doesn't work on the Pixel yet.The Magisk developer says it's a work in progress as of Nov. 14, 2016. Technobuzz posted a guide on installing Magisk for the Pixel but in another thread people didn't seem to have much luck with it.
Question 1) Is it correct that Magisk's primary benefit in this case is to allow root to be either restricted from certain apps or to be toggled system-wide without a restart? In other words, I can still disable root directly through the SuperSU program, but without Magisk that then requires a restart.
Question 2) Does the Android Pay SafetyNet check only prevent the addition of cards into Android Pay, or does it also prevent the usage of Android Pay after a card has been added. I ask because I wouldn't mind restarting to disable root when I want to add a card, but I don't want to restart every time I want to simply use Android Pay (and have already added a card).
Question 3) ChainFire notes that suhide does not work on Pixels, nor does it work on Android 7.1 at all. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what suhide does and whether it matters to me. Do I care?
Question 4) In the slightly previous version of ChainFire's rooting (SuperSU v2.78 SR2) he calls out that the kernel must be patched. Sounds like since this doesn't require a kernel recompile that it shouldn't interfere with the custom kernel + SafeNet patch necessary to circumvent the unlocked bootloader check. Right?
Many thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond.
You got the bootloader part right. None of anything else you listed applies to this phone.
Magisk doesnt work on this phone. The versions of SU you mention are the wrong versions for this phone. You need 2.79 SR3. Anything below that and you will bootloop.
There is a thread around here were some folks fot SUHide working for awhile, bit an update or two ago broke that.
I do not believe there is currently any way to get pay to work with root. Google seems to be pretty serious about Pay not working on modded phones.l

And to answer question 2, it prevents it from working at all.

Thanks for responding. I see your point about SuperSU SR3. SR5 looks like it may work also. I admit that it's still unclear to me what suhide does. Are you saying that without suhide I won't be able to simply check the box within the SuperSU program to disable root and get around the root check (assuming I have patched bootloader also)?

Suhide was a project Chainfire did to hide root for Pay. It was a separate install that modded it to hide it. Currently not working on this phone.
2.78 SR5 will not work.
There is no disable root checkbox that i can find on mine. Perhaps something that was in previous versions.
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.....

My sister plays Pokemon Go and so I was looking up how to run it on a rooted phone for her and saw this:

She has same exact phone as me.
In closing, I am familiar with how to use ODIN and the basics of TWRP. I just want to know which files are gonna give me the best end result for what I want.

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.
Hi all. Have come across a few threads which are indicating that 8.1 can be rooted by flashing supersu via OTG USB. Then the external are others who say it's not possible.
Does anyone know of circumstances where they or someone they've read about has successfully flashed supersu in this manner (OTG USB)?
I highly recommend using magisk as it has an easy universal installer and comes w much more features than SuperSU along with a module repo to add functionality to your device
SuperSU did a great job, but now it's kinda dead. Magisk has a lot more support and updates, also is more easy to manage/update. I really recommend Magisk.
I am able to easily get majisk to install but it won't work with a majority of the app I frequently used such as wifi-tetherAP, ti backup, and few others. The apps will install and root permissions are granted but apps don't work as they should.
Why do they not play nice w majisk?

They work fine for me. Do you also have the magisk manager app to actually allow the su prompts cuz I know a few times when I flashed magisk the app never showed up and I had to manually install it

You cannot root 8.1 with supersu. You have to use magisk. And Magisk works great.
Unfortunately chainfire has retired from the scene, at least for now, and there are obviously tensions with the new Chinese owners of supersu. Supersu is not being updated and the new owners are nowhere near as responsive to users as chainfire was. He's a big loss. And magisk has its own advantages. It's systemless, works reliable and great with 8.1 and is frequently updated. I would switch to magisk. Its the future when rooting your phone.

Thanks for the in depth explanation regarding chain fire, supersu, and the Chinese. Such a shame they got the privilege to assume such a legendary tool for Android and they don't have the decency to support it as it should be. Alas, all great things must come to an end. Looks like it's time to7 move along and embrace the future, as you said, and get on board w majisk.
My only issue w majisk is that several of my favorite apps, the most needed one being AP-tether w root, does not work properly w majisk. It will start but other devices can not "see" the network. I've made sure that it's not hidden.
At a loss to understand why majisk can't get this app to work like supersu did... Anyone have any thoughts?

Have you tried a clean install? Start all over with latest Feb factory image, full wipe, Inc data and then flashing twrp, magisk etc? Can't think of anything else. Magisk doesn't pass safety net so Google pay doesn't work, but give it time. Magisk is your only root option anyway on 8.1 whether you like it or not.
I've read the root guide, but I might not need to do that...
Has anyone succeeded getting Magisk to install?
I'd need that to use the "De-Bloat Guide" I keep seeing
Thanks
