Hi! My title refers to Steve Kondik's post here.
In the post, Kondik describes how many root apps can be designed to not require root.
Here's an example of what he was talking about.
I was just wondering if the developer, @rovo89, might look into this? Thanks so much!
Also, I'm sorry if someone has asked something like this already or if I posted in the wrong area. For some reason I can search this forum using chrome mobile...
That's not possible for Xposed. Read the stuck threads on what Xposed modifies for more info - it just requires root to install.
These posts are from July 2013 and they are about Android 4.3. As you probably know, Xposed has not only survived Android 4.3, but also 4.4. As GermainZ mentioned, root is just needed only for the installation of the framework.

Im sorry but I Didnt see a thread dedicated to this feature. I apologize in advance if this has been covered elsewhere.
Y!S
All roms are flashed via CWM unless they say to do it differently in their thread. CM7 is about the only one that's not done this way.
Nobody gives install instructions anymore since it should be common knowledge if you did your research.
Also, this is NOT a development question. We have a Q&A section for these types of questions.
all custom roms come with CWM built into the kernel.
once you have a custom rom you DONT USE rom manager anymore.
also this is the DEVELOPMENT section.
DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE!!!
questions go in Q&A

you guys are misunderstanding his question, ROM manager is capable of sending out OTA's for individual ROM's if the ROM creator implements this feature. as far as I know, there are yet to be any ROM's that use this in the Captivate section, though please tell me if I'm wrong. CM7 will use this feature once it's capable of using ROM manager through a properly functioning param.ko
as for you two, no need to be so aggressive/rude. you didn't answer his question properly and were a bit extreme in your judgment toward him. but as for you OP, they are correct in that this isn't truly related to development and is more suited to "General" or "Q&A" from now on.
my point was nobody uses rom manager after stock anymore.
if someone cant properly post, they wont get a full complete answer

Hey TRusselo you have gone beyond making it known that I posted in the wrong section but no matter how I look at your answers you still come across as a big fat jerk. There isnt any need whatsoever for you to post that.. and then to come back and repeat yourself with another entry saying the SAME thing and MAINTAINING the attitude.. you got my attention.
Kaik541 did answer my question. I was wondering if any devs have used this feature in rom manager. For over the air updates.
As to the reason why I posted in the DEVs section was because i thought that it was a development question. ROMS updated over the air thru ROM MANAGER is implemented by DEVELOPERS. It stands to reason why i have not seen any notes in any DEVELOPERS release and that is apparently no DEVELOPERS are using this feature. I hope that I made it understood as to WHY I posted in the dev section. I am now more familiar with the rules so I do beg your pardon for posting in the wrong place.
Nightly builds that can be updated over the air seems like it would really be something that a DEV would utilize with all the tweeks contently done to these roms. I for one look forward to having such a useful tool.

Nightly builds aren't considered updates. They are made so the flash happy people have something else to play with and test for the devs. They aren't meant for everyone to use as DD's. Utilizing this feature for nightlie's would end up with TONS of questions from newbs that don't know how to fix what they just did.
This has been brought up a few times and to be honest with all the possible issues that could come across from OTA updates like flashing a bad file cause you lost connection for a split sec and didn't notice, I wouldn't use it. The first att OTA update proved this. Thousands of bricks, then it was released by Kris update. Alot less bricks.
I'm sorry, this has surely been answered somewhere but after spending most of my day trying to get Secure Settings working on Lollipop and a few more hours reading about the trouble rovo89 had with bootloops on Samsungs I'm totally confused. His thread didn't say he'd solved the issue but I found a couple of other threads that looked like they'd tried fixing it but I couldn't find anything specific for my phone model.
I have a freshly rooted Galaxy S5 neo running stock 5.1.1. and I have no idea if it's odexed or not (I used the Chainfire method to root). Can I use Xposed Installer on this? If so, where is the download please?

Please refer to this thread for information and discussion about Xposed for Lollipop. Read post #2, it contains all the information to identify the correct Xposed framework for your device. Most likely, you will need wanam's Xposed version, but please use the table provided in the official Xposed for Lollipop thread to identify the correct version by yourself.
Thank you! That's probably the one relevant thread I didn't find!
Hello everyone,
I searched the forums for some hrs to find if there is a possibility to root on 5.3.2.1
Most threads i found are quite old and saying that there is no root yet. But some say that root is actually working. I tried them without success.
Thats why i wanted to ask if there is a possibility of rooting that I didnt see?
I want to have a custom rom - there is no way to get this without root, isnt it?
Thanks for replies - and sorry for my bad english

No to both questions:
- no known method of rooting FireOS 5.3.2.1 and above
- no ability to install a custom ROM without root due to locked bootloader
You can take steps to make FireOS more palettable and improve performance:
- disable preinstalled apps
- remove lock screen ads
- use a different launcher
- enable/disable multi-user support
Each of these areas has one or move dedicated discussion threads which you likely encountered during your search.
Thanks for your reply!
And yes, i have alrady seen theese threads.
I have some aditional questions:
Is there any reason for trying the same root program several times?
Is it possible that root is working after an system update? I have seen a tutorial for rooting on 5.4.0
Not sure what "tutorial" you saw for rooting 5.4.0.0, but as far as we know here, it's not possible.

It was that one guy who made those two troll threads. One for 5.3.3, one for 5.4.0, and people ate it up.

Hello,
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6(64GB, Exynos) with Magisk-root. But I have the issue that it automatically uninstalls. And suddenly it’s unroot. Then I have to reinstall the Magisk-vXX.X.zip with TWRP (X.XX is the version, for example: 14.0 or 13.3). But after some hours it is uninstalled again and I lost the root access.
Then I have to repeat this...
Does someone have the same problem? Or does someone know how to fix this?
I don't want to reinstall the Magisk-package everytime i need root-access.. And I don't want to switch to another root because I like the Magisk-hide-function.
Or are there other roots with hide function?
Thank you
Larry
Ask in the Magisk forum and not Xposed, you might have more luck.

@larrythil Please use the report button instead of creating new threads. This way the mod team has a chance to move the reported thread to the correct section.
Hi, I'm Vaneyen, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have lots of Andriod devices, and have meddled with rooting a little bit, but am not yet entirely comfortable with risking the brick. However, I am deeply interested in Hacking, which simply means "making My devices work the way I want them to." I have (with the help of Youtube bloggers) hacked Keurig coffee machines, so now it's time to get my Android devices working the way I want them to!
Hi Vaneyen and welcome to XDA! You came with experience to the right place for modding, flashing, development, etc.!
Cheers

Thank you, galaxys.
I have an Android TV box I'm looking to root, but I'm unclear of one thing. I've learned (thank you 3mel!) that the process will likely involve:
1) unlocking the bootloader (if needed),
2) flashing the correct TWRP recovery (for that series of boxes),
3) flashing magisk 21.4 in TWRP and
4) installing magisk apk.
Is there a tutorial on the site aimed at guiding someone through the process of determining the correct process for each of these steps? I've learned that my box in question has an Amlogic p212, but is that enough to go on?
Thanks for the welcome!
First post...
First post in the correct forum...
Seems like you posted good details in June in those forums.
You can bump your last post there and maybe someone will respond. Any of tutorial should be specific to your device if one exists....
I wonder if it is possible to install root rights on Apple hardware.

Good question, but I have no idea where to ask it. You may get good results if you google "how to root ios iphone" - I just did, and there are a few promising hits in there.
