need help with magisk root, twrp and xposed (update 2017)?

Hey all,
Just purchased a LG U2 and now trying to make it work in the way i want it.
All informations here seem very old, so I wanted to open an update thread, with all what is possible on th lgu2, while
I found only very outdated informations...:crying:
So far:
First I setup the watch with AW2.0, after that flashed twrp 3.1.1.0 and supersu wear 2.82
I managed to get busybox installed and wanted further add Xposed.
There my problem starts, flashing xposed didn't work out.
So right after that, I switchd to Magisk root, to try work with the modules supplied.
(Steps -> use script UnSU, after that flash boot.img again, than flash MAgisk through twrp)
But after that the same with the modules. I try to install busybox, magisk tell me its no magisk module (i've downloaded the module and pushed it on the sd through adb, while the download button isn't reachable in magisk dialogue menu)
in twrp the module tells me there is no magisk installed.
so how can we go on from here? is there a way to make it all work?
did somebody try to change dpi and download the module directly through magisk? does it work?
also if somebody could help with an updated list of sideload able full android apps?
would need an email that can handle at least two accounts directly on the watch (please not advice outlook, its working from the phone i know)
thanks to all in advance

Ok i did a fresh flash.
i see my fault was to install busybox the first time after installing supersu.
did it this time without and mgisk works so far fine. granting access for total commander no problem.
but now another thing. i installed now busybox from the repos in magisk, he say installation successful, but the module isn't there after reboot?
anyone got the same?

another try. i switched back to supersu wear 2.82, installed stericsons busybox. works.
installed xposed sdk25 via twrp, says success, but after reboot xposed installer says no active framework.
i used a systemless framework... will search for the link again.
anybody got it done this way?

Adding Xposed to OP7 rooted with Magisk: a good idea, or asking for trouble?

After two years being stuck on an unrooted phone (Huawei), I'm thrilled to have everything working on OP7 x TWRP x Magisk.
On several threads I have read suggestions of Xposed modules that could be interesting, and saw that @topjohnwu published a thread with an Xposed installer apk and Xposed module for Magisk, which sounds amazing.
My question is: on OnePlus, does this work well, or would it be asking for trouble? The last thing I want now that everything is working is to make a wrong move that gets me into boot loops.
Also, if this is confirmed to work well, I see that there are several Xposed modules in the Magisk download section.
Is it "Xposed Framework, v90-beta3 created by rovo89"? Or the Tai Chi one, or the Riru ones?
Thanks for any advice!

Use edxposed, no problems so far for me

My biggest question is with Snapchat. I've read people getting banned because of using Xposed (even if no Snapchat specific module's are used).
Can anyone confirm or deny this? I just want to use it for a couple of modules like Amplify.

Its a bad idea! Snapchat thinks you use 3rd party app... Been locked out 3 times now...

In case this can help someone else, I should let you know that trying to install the "Xposed Framework v90-beta3 by rovo89" from inside Magisk has brought me a lot of heartaches (boot loop, factory reset, still struggling to get a stable system back).
Maybe the problem is not related to that module specifically, but here is what happened. It seemed to install, but when I looked at it in the "Modules" section, every section said "unknown". So I flagged it for deletion, and on reboot the phone entered a boot loop.
I tried to uninstall the module via mm, but it didn't show. So I uninstalled Magisk via Magisk-Uninstall in TWRP. The phone booted, but when I reinstalled Magisk, the boot loop restarted.
Since then, I have done two factory resets: one via the basic TWRP "Wipe", one via OOS / Settings / System. Each time, some files from before are left on the SD card. I thought that the problem was solved, but after two hours working to set up the phone (not downloading Magisk modules, just Apps from the Play Store), I got a new boot loop. Luckily this time I had done a backup. But will be looking for a way to do a more "aggressive" factory reset.
Anyhow, maybe I installed the wrong Xposed, but thought I'd share my experience.

That isn't edexposed and isn't supported on pie

Thank you!
Will try edexposed on the next install, after backing up.

Ha, looking in Magisk / Downloads / Search / Xposed, I see two versions of EdXposed:
- Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta(4463) (SandHook)
- Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta(4463) (YAHFA)
Which one for OP7: SandHook, or YAHFA?
Thanks in advance.

Either. I used YAHFA with no issues for what i needed. Then i tried SandHook out of curiosity and found no difference.

Asking for trouble

Thank you both.
After TWRP backup, installed edexposed which involved three steps:
- riru exexposed core module (in Magisk)
- riru edexposed module by yahfa (Magisk)
- edexposed installer app (from GitHub)
EdXposedInstaller_v2.2.4-release.apk
https://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases
System rebooted, SafetyNet status OK in Magisk.
As far as y'all know is this list of modules known to work on OP7?
Wouldn't even know where to start… But curious.

Edit: when I went to do a new Backup, the TWRP menu was unusual (it asked new questions about modifying the system). Decided to backpedal and restore to before exposed installation.
In the end, I just don't know enough to understand what risks I'm taking. In the hands of an expert user, it's probably safe, in mine, it's asking for trouble.

[Question] EdXposed on Android 11 - Pixel 4a

I should be getting the device in a few days and want to install EdXposed ASAP. I have found a few references of folks who did this but it's not clear whether it's on Android 11 or not.
If any one has been able to install EdXposed and get it running, it would be great if they can share the links to the framework and manager they used. And of course, their experience and tips
This would help the community of Pixel 4a users

Here is how I got it working
Obviously you have a rooted device running Android 11, with Magisk installed.
Install EdXposed Manager v4.5.7.
From the canary tab download the YAHFA/ Sandhook drivers (zip) . Note that downloaded version may have a different name from the file name in canary tab, in my case

Which one did you flash? Yahfa or Sandhook?

Neither one of those show up for me. I tried flashing framework and it says incompatible device.

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get the notification
YAHFA. But note that when I flashed, every thing was fine. In between, probably some Play Store updates broke camera and recorder. Uninstalling updates fixed the problem

Does camera work with Edxposed and Android 11 Nov Update?

I'm not able to open the Android camera app anymore. WIth Edxposed disabled it works. So I'm wondering if anyone on Android 11 Nov update with Edxposed has camera working. If so, could you kindly tell me your setup (ie. Edxposed version, etc.)?
Edit: It looks like the Camera update from Nov 17 is what broke this. After uninstalling the update it works.

I have the same problem - how did you uninstall the update?
EDIT: Nevermind I figured it out ?

Uninstalling the update down to 7.3.021 is an okay fix... but is there any way to update it to something more recent without installing 8.1.011 from the Play Store which is definitely broken with EdXposed?
I tried the APK Mirror installer with a split APK, but get a "verification did not succeed" error. This is with USB/ADB verification disabled.
I tried an old 7.6 APK with MiXplorer trying to install with root and it also didn't work.
I don't think I use the camera enough to even know the difference between 7.x and 8.x... I guess I'm just curious.

Anyone found a solution for this? Only stock version is working.

Apparently if you clear the cache/data of Google Play Services, the APK Mirror Installer will have better luck installing other versions.

For pass the dread "verification did not succeed" message, clear your Google Play framework data. You will need to resetting some personalization settings (you will know when it happens) but install of 8.x camera app will work.

I had the same issue with edxposed and google camera 8.1, but all of a sudden it started working today. Not really sure what I did that made it work.
I was playing around with edxposed back and forth. Originally had Riru v21.2 installed (where camera 8.1 didn't work), so I installed Riru v23 over it. Rebooted but camera still didn't work. Went back to v21.2 or v21.3 and then went back to v23. I may have done a few more uninstaling/reinstalling and now camera 8.1 opens without crashing.
With camera 8.1 working, I have the following installed: magisk manager 21101, riru v23, riru-edxposed v0.5.0.6 (sandhook), edxposed manager 4.5.7. But the odd thing is that I've had the same apps/modules installed when camera was not working.
What I noticed different this time is that Edxposed manager says "Edxposed Framework is not installed" whereas before it would say something like, "installed but not active." That made we think that edxposed wasn't installed or active, so i tested with 2 xposed modules (fingerface and disableflagsecure) and they both work... so I'm pretty sure edxposed is active.
I also cleared the cache and storage on the camera app but I don't think that did anything.

I have the same problem

I tried it but it didn't work, it only works with v 21.3 but the modules stopped working. Hopefully a solution comes out.

Add gcam to black list and reboot. Just tried and it works

I tried updating Google Camera to 8.1, immediately didn't work as expected.
Added to Exposed blacklist, rebooted... still didn't work.
Added to Exposed Compat list, rebooted... still didn't work.
Downgraded to 7.1, works again.

Before installing 8.1, I added Camera to Exposed blacklist. Just for safe measure also added to magisk hide. Rebooted, installed 8.1 and it worked.
Don't know if all steps are necessary but not gonna tweak anything since I don't know how sensitive it is.

Added to Magisk Hide, Xposed Blacklist, Xposed Compat list, rebooted; installed 8.1.101.x... force closes immediately.

thx, it worked for me. I did it after I already installed 8.1

I did this except add to magiskhide and it worked.. uninstalled updates. Compatibility list camera app, rebooted then open it. After update back to 8.1. and opened camera..works great again

What fixed the problem for me was downloading the latest canary YAHFA build in exposed manager. And flashing it in Magisk. I already had configured the compatibility settings for the camera module.

This is all I had to do on my Pixel 4a 5G also. Thanks!

For anyone wondering, in EdExposed, if I go to XHide and hide camera it works. Hope this helps!

Hide camera in black list.
Latest version of exposed, riru, and riruedxposed June 21 update stock rooted. Working flawlessly

LSPosed is a better choice
EdXposed has not been updated for too long

Anyone found a solution? I can't get it to work hiding gcam on xposed blacklist and magiskhide

Hi,
So, I had to go back from v23.0 to v21.3 from riru-core. Then I had to reinstall EdXpoed, the manager as well. Felt 100 reboot made and now XposedLua is running again, yay.
