This thread is only for the AT&T branded (SM-G900A) device.
If this is not your device, you need to go to the corresponding forum/thread. I realize there are many similarities amongst the G900 variants, but the instructions I provide- as well as the help I can give, are limited to the AT&T (SM-G900A) variant only. Even then the help I can provide is still limited.

1) Xposed Framework
2) WanamXposed
3) Gravity Box
---I advise caution with this, as some of the features are built into the GS5 rom.
4) Greenify
5) X Tether
6) G-TouchWiz
Will post more later!
Notes :
*See the second page on how to activate the built-in wifi tether with Wanam Xposed and X Tether.
*See the second page to help reduce performance issues.
@profcx has pointed out that the "Download Booster Mod" is currently incompatible with the X Tether for Xposed.
Never mind

Downloaded X Tether from Xposed Framework , then go to wanam and click on system and enable "skip provisioning check" and rebooted. It alows me to turn on tethering and mobile Hotspot.

How to Remove Battery and USB Cover warnings
There has been some complaint about these warnings, so here goes:
1a) Download Xposed
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
1b) Install it.
1c) Open it up, tap on "Framework," then tap"OK" on the pop up. Then tap "Install/Update"
2) Reboot.
3a) Re Open Xposed, tap "Download, " and search for "G-Touchwiz."
Or go here
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.gertlily.xposed.touchwiz
3b) Install it. Swipe from left to right and it will show the download options.
3c) Go to the main menu of Xposed, check the box for "G-TouchWiz" then reboot.
4) Find the "G-TouchWiz" app and open it.
5a) Under the "POPUPS" section there is:
"Disable battery cover popup on/off"
"Disable USB Cover popup on/off"
5b) Turn them off. (cryptic, huh?)
5c) Reboot.
Finished. You will notice that they did not annoy you... this time.

My G900A with the Xposed Framework, X Tether, Wanam Kit and Wanam Xposed installed, does not have "skip provisioning check" listed on either of the Wanam modules. Thoughts?
Open wanamxposed then go to System. Then check "Disable Tethering Provisioning"
If you don't have this, tell me what version of wanam you have.
Can somebody post a link or explain the benefits of installing Xposed and or wanam. I'm not a complete rookie but besides the few tweaks already on this thread, what else works on our 900As

What is Xposed Framework?
As far as Xposed/Wanam, these apps allow you to modify visual and technical elements of your phone's rom. These changes are temporary and can be reversed.
The Xposed Framework is intended to bring functions of a custom rom INTO a stock rom. One could say it is an alternative for phones in which the bootloader remains locked.

There are tons of modules, however only a few of them work with the S5 currently. You are free to explore, but use caution and common sense. If it's for an HTC, then don't use it.
This thread was meant to discuss which ones do work.
Well I downgraded my firmware to the G900AUCU1ANCE and now I can only get usb tethering. Amy ideas on how to enable regular tethering (not having to use a usb cable)

How to Force Native WiFi Tether Galaxy S5 (Root)
Decided to edit this post to make more sense.
Follow the steps below to enable the built in wifi tether feature:
1a) If you haven't already, download the Xposed Framework app.
Xposed Framework Installer
1b) Open the app, tap "Framework," then tap "OK." Now tap "Install/Update."
2) Reboot
3a) Open Xposed, then tap "Downloads," then search for Wanam Xposed and X Tether. Alternatively you can go to:
Wanam Xposed Module (Repo)
X Tether Module (Repo)
3b) Once downloaded and installed, open the Xposed app. Tap "Modules." Now check the box next to each module.
4) Reboot. Again.
5) Open Wanam Xposed and tap "System." Then check "Disable Tether Provisioning."
6) Again, reboot.
Your native wifi should now function.

Did you follow the instructions for downgrade/unbrick fix at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785185
Please note that the original instructions have been changed. Read through the entire thread and follow the instructions to fix this. Users have reported that they are able to update once again to the G900AUCU2AND3 firmware once complete. For more questions regarding this, please post in that thread.
I think it's easy to make this mistake but make sure you download WanamXposed and not Wanam Kit, which I think is close to the top which is why I selected it. It seemed to work for me but I started having problems and I realized it was made for aosp ROMs. Just putting it out there.
Just a heads up guys - the Xposed tethering mod is incompatible with the 'download booster' mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785410
It's one or the other for now.

Thank you for the heads up!
I will update the OP.
Noticed a performance decrease after doing this. However i can now share my wifi. Not sure what is better.
Performance Issues with Xposed (Solved)
Download and open up your favorite build.prop editor. Or just use a text capable app like ES File Explorer or Rom Toolbox.
1) Navigate to /system/build.prop
2) Go to the line"ro.storagesecure.support"
3) Change the value to "false"
4) Reboot.
Everything should be fine after that.

Can you please clarify exactly what this "ro.storagesecure.support=false" is supposed to fix? Are you saying this will fix the performance issue mentioned in post 18 or will this fix native tether in some cases?

Hi,
When I install Xposed framework, I am unable to install any apps on my phone either Xposed modules or play store apps? Has anyone seen this issue before.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. I used towel root and installed Xposed installer.
Thank You
Define "unable to install" - what happens exactly?
If I had to guess, I'd say you can't press the install button... In that case, you need to disable any screen filter apps/apps that draw on top of everything else. This isn't caused by the Xposed framework.

Thank you, this was driving me insane, once screen filter/dimmer app was closed, I was able to install modules again.
So yesterday I installed xposed framework on my Moto G XT1033 5.0.2, after the process i tried installing some modules with no success, "App not Installed". I rebooted my phone and tried installing again, this time it got stuck on " installing...". I have tried to install using lucky patcher and it gave an error saying that some directory didn't exist.
Please help
Similar problem on my LG L90. I installed version 86 and it's active. I'm able to download modules, but unable to install them.
It says, "Application not installed." I've tried this for several modules and received the same results.
In the installer logs section I have an error:
"E/Xposed ( 298): Cannot load any modules because /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list was not found"
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there, did you find a solution for this problem since you posted this? I am experiencing this exact problem right now, it says that modules.list was not found in that directory. Framework is working, modules can be downloaded but not installed.
Thanks

For an unknown reason I had the same issue. I was able to download and install from Xposed, and than one day it wouldn't allow me to press the "install button". Long story made short I was able to get it working by installing this app:
[XPOSED] [KK] [FIX] KitKat BUGS fixer
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-service-bug-63793-fix-t2830732
Hope that helps someone and saves them time trying to figure out what happened.
I've had this problem and the way that I do it is by disabling the exposed framework then rebooting, then it will allow you to install apps. After, activate the module, that re eneble xposed, and reboot!
Hey
I was having the same issue but i fixed it.
This might be because google get to know that the phone is modified thats why no apps get installed so the fix it that download GMS PROTECTED app from xposed download and inatall it. Activate it and reboot. And if you're unable to install then simply turn the framework off and install the module that I've mentioned above.after installing the module activate it,turn on the framework and reboot the fone. Bang.... You're good to go

LINK 2 - Parallel Space 64-Bit Support: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl.arm64&hl=en[/URL][/URL]
Salutations. (That means 'Hello').
NOTE: For those who are interested, I will include background information about how I came to the solution. All that other jazz too. First and foremost however; the fix!
SOLUTION:
Right at the top of the post, you will find two links. This being a new account and all (don't ask), until I create 10 posts I cannot include any outside links. So once I've done so, I will update the post.
STEP **: So at the top of the post, there are clearly two links. 64-Bit Android devices are becoming increasingly common. This architecture may pose a few problems. give the application framework. Should you own a 64-Bit device, I recommend installing this application too (LINK 2). This will theoretically prevent any obstacles.
Pre-requisite(s): Make sure you have the 'Snapchat' application installed. It is recommended to have installed the latest update from the Google Play Store.
STEP ONE: Download the application appended to LINK 1. This is called Parallel Space. You might recognize the name (its creators are the same who allow you to seamlessly virtualize Windows OS on Mac OS).
STEP TWO: Launch the application.
STEP THREE: You should be prompted with a grid-like interface. Here you will be greeted with a range of familiar icons. In the top right corner of each icon, you will notice a blue check-mark. Make sure that there is one next to the 'Snapchat' icon. This will ensure that the app is 'cloned'.
STEP FOUR: In the 'Parallel Space' app, tap on the 'Snapchat' icon. This will launch the application.
STEP FIVE: From here it is pretty self-explanatory. You are greeted by the standard 'Snapchat' interface. Tap on 'Log In'. Then proceed to do so.
STEP SIX: 'Snapchat' should be functioning as normal.
STEP SEVEN (BONUS): During testing, this worked on and off. --
Remain logged-in to the 'cloned' 'Snapchat' application within the 'Parallel Space' application.
Then proceed to launch the stock 'Snapchat' application.
Next attempt to 'Log-In'.
Should this operation be successful, you are then free to uninstall 'Parallel Space' and any related assets from your device.
HOWEVER, I personally do not recommend this. When logging out or updating the 'Snapchat' application, errors may be re-encountered.
Instead, I recommend that if possible, do use the stock application, but leave 'Parallel Space' installed. Using the stock app will improve efficiency and reduce the load on system resources. But keeping the 'Parallel Space' application on the device, well; you get the point.
Enjoy the fix! If it does not work, please let me know [Device Name and Model No.]. I've tested on various devices, succeeded every-time. Do keep in mind that this is a loop-hole, so may be patched in future or not work at all for some devices.
Background (Because I know someone will ask): The idea came to mind while using a LG G5 as a daily driver. I had tested every custom ROM available for the device. The problem was that with custom ROM's, there was always an issue, Malfunctioning sensors, camera's not working persistently, etc , etc.
The G5's stock ROM left me wanting more. The overbearing interface made it a living hell. Plus, the device just being rooted (NO XPOSED) meant that 'Snapchat' did not work. I looked for fixes for a time, but could not find any.
Development of ROM's for the device is on-going, and I am an active member. But I just couldn't handle not being able to use the camera (one of the device's best features) and no accelerator, screen-rotation, etc. So I went back to stock again. Do keep in mind that I was alternating/dual-booting between custom and stock ROM's just because of the camera; mainly.
This most recent time. instead of flashing stock MM, I flashed stock N for the G5. For 850, it has been officially released in some countries, and a manual flash via TWRP was a peice of cake.
This update is a lot better. I am running Nova Launcher again. So it makes it look a little better. Themes have also been improved. I am using an in-built dark one which makes the device look a lot better aesthetically. Additionally, I'm rocking a white carbon-fibre skin on the exterior; improving grip and overall security. The only issue was again, no 'Snapchat'.
After a few days, I had the idea to attempt this. I tested my theory and it worked! That's it.
Please do keep in mind that I will update this post as often as possible.
P.S This was tested just after updating to the latest version of 'Snapchat' which was a significant update. It included Shazam, Groups, etc. So you know, pretty cool that it worked.
Did not work on Google Nexus 5 running Android 7.1.1. Still gives error message saying that I can't connect to the server.

I'm pretty sure if you get Xposed framework, there's a module that allows you to hide root from apps. Problem is that there is no Xposed framework for Android 7 yet. Hope this helps.

I personally tried the module on cm13 but it doesnt work for me. I think that somehow snapchat knows when you use xposed too.
The thing is that on aosp roms with root already build in sometimes snapchat do not catch it but if you have xposed, no way you can get in. For that freaky snapchat app here is what i did: install any rom, if if had root build in i then install su uninstaller zip with twrp then log in into snapchat and after that, rooting with super su zip again. The catch is that once you log out of the app and attempt to log in again, you cant get in and you have to repeat the proccess. It's annoying as hell!!! They need to disable the security check, if people want to cheat che system somehow they will, so whats the point. Also there are much more tweaks for jailbroken iphones and they have no problem with it .
Sorry for the rant here buqt im super frustrated.

Now that i think of it, when i uninstalled xposed it didn't work still. but after i "fully unrooted" through Super su and tried to sign in it worked. so it has to do with root or maybe both but the xposed didnt work for me. Thanks even though it didn't/wouldn't have worked for me!

Snapchat detects xposed framework.
Though at a time they did do root they since moved to blocking xposed due to the security concerns with money and also privacy of the user.
Though with certain phones and ect that could be the case I am using a s5 and have no issues.
just install magisk and systemless xposed and turn on magisk hide in magisk manager now snapchat won't detect root
then when u wanna log in just turn off xposed in xposed installer and reboot "it won't take time booting optimizing app when reactivated now" so reboot is easy
and u can have multiple accounts by backing up snapchat with titanium backup and don't ever log out just wibe its data and when u want to relog just restore the backup
and if u want to have multiple accounts access just patch the titanium backup with luckypatcher and have multiple backups (accounts)

make a nandroid backup if u want
1- full unroot by opening supersu and going to settings and press Full unroot and wait till it finishes and restart
2- download xposed uninstaller if u have xposed framework installed and flash it
3- install magisk manager from playstore
4- download and flash last magisk which is (12v) now from : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
5- flash magisk v12.0 which you downloaded now your phone will have systemless root
6- go into magisk manager app and go to settings and toggle "Magisk Hide" (ON) and restart now your root is hidden
7- remove your current xposed app and install this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
8- flash systemless xposed : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
9- reboot and go to the xposed installer app and toggle the xposed off or on as you want when u restart it won't take time optimizing apps like before so fast now
your root is hidden now but xposed is not but you can disable it and enable it easily
Instead of using Parallel Space (which I believe to be insecure) use Island to clone your apps. It's a little more advanced to setup, but it's a lot more secure. It works for rooted and non-rooted devices. On the 1st page of the thread, it explains how Parallel Space and others repack the apk file locally, which is dangerous. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/closed-beta-test-incoming-companion-app-t3366295
Island never repack apk file locally, which is inherently insecure for users, since all your app data (including password input) are technically in the hand of MoboClean. (The same applies to other similar tools, e.g. LBE Parallel Space)
Instead, Island takes advantage of the underlying mechanism used by "Android for Work". This ensures that all your apps run natively in Android system and their data are securely stored in internal location of Android which is never accessible by Island. It has the same level of security as "Android for Work".

Be sure to read the disclaimer!!! The app is still only available in closed beta at the time of writing this, and could possibly cause you're device to bootloop or even possibly brick it, but root, xposed, or other modifications {in my opinion) has a higher chance of bootloops or bricking your device.
You follow the same steps in island to clone snapchat as you would in Parallel Space to login to snapchat. It might be possible to use the play store inside island to download snapchat inside island and login that way. I can't remember exactly how it works. I believe that island is a good way to test apps in a "sandbox environment" to keep the data excluded, safe and secure from the regular apps that you have installed outside of island.
I use Magisk now which bypasses SafetyNet which is what snapchat uses to "block access" to modified/rooted devices.
Probably the easiest method is to download Casper which is an alternative snapchat client that allows you to save snaps, and many other features that the official snapchat client can't do. Find Casper at www.casper.io
FYI Netflix has started to change how they do things as well by hiding the app's play store page from devices that have been modified or rooted, but it's still possible to simply sideload Netflix for now.
Hi All,
I've seen mention of Santander but not of Lloyds bypassing the root detection. After much trial and error it's quite simple and my method will bypass both Santander and Lloyds. If bypassing Santander just do the same for the Santander app as ive said to do with Lloyds.
<--Update 08/06/19-->
Having flashed a new rom and following my steps again I received the detection message again but was resolved by using the Canary build of Magisk Manager.
To get Magisk Manager Canary click the link below:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_...pp-release.apk
Once installed, open Magisk Manager and go to
settings > Update Channel > Canary
Go back to Magisk home screen and swipe down to check for updates, you'll receive an update for the canary build. Once you update follow the guides original steps below.
<--End of update-->
In Magisk Manager Settings:
Enable Magisk Hide
Enable Sytemless Host
And if the option is available select "Hide Magisk"
In Adaway:
Download my exported blacklist from:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCBB4iVA65gJTTYqbhU1qTlghVYyAL1S/view?usp=drivesdk
Then in adaway click the 3 dots in the top right to open the menu, select "Your Lists" then press the menu button again in the top right and press "Import all lists" and select the file you downloaded.
With the urls added go back to the adaway main screen and press "Download Files and Apply ad blocking" and Reboot device. If "Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking" doesn't appear, click "check for updates" and then download them which will do the same thing.
Once your phone has restarted install the Lloyds Banking app but don't open it. Go into Magisk Manager and select Magisk Hide from the menu and tick the Lloyds Banking app. Reboot phone and Lloyds should work perfectly!
I managed to do this from researching other threads and adding my own bits in so credit due elsewhere as well, as usual you can follow this guide but do so at your own risk, i take no responsibility
This should also work for Halifax and TSB but with a different URL nice work but what happens if they fix this? No banking app again....
Also do you know how to get past Natwest?
Doesn't work for me.
Hi Steve,
This is the first time ive noticed an application that has gone to greater lengths and was relatively easy to bypass. Given how long it took to come up with this technique of connecting to a url to blacklist your device i cant see them coming up with something new anytime soon.
All that is required to bypass this new technique is to log dns requests in Adaway and with the listed urls the app connected to for the login you simply block the urls and leave 1 out. Take for example Lloyds used 3 urls, i blocked two leaving only one allowed but Lloyds couldnt connect so that url was genuinely used to login, i then knew to allow that url and focus on the other two finally figuring out it was that url i listed that was being used to connect and block my device. With the app unalee to connect to that url it cannot verify if my device is blacklisted. Its time consuming as you need to restart after each new url you blacklist but its simple to do.

Are you on the new Magisk 17.1? And after inserting the url to adaway you rebooted the device then installed lloyds then hidden it in magisk and rebooted again?

Hi All,
I've seen mention of Santander but not of Lloyds bypassing the root detection. After much trial and error it's quite simple and my method will bypass both Santander and Lloyds. If bypassing Santander just do the same for the Santander app as ive said to do with Lloyds.
First go into the Lloyds app info (hold on Lloyds App icon and select "App Info") or you can do the same by going to "Settings > Apps > Lloyds Bank" and then select "Storage" and press "Clear Data". With all the stored information removed uninstall the Lloyds Banking app completely and reboot your device.
In Magisk Manager Settings:
Enable Magisk Hide
Enable Sytemless Host
And if the option is available select "Hide Magisk"
In Adaway:
Download my exported blacklist from:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCBB4iVA65gJTTYqbhU1qTlghVYyAL1S/view?usp=drivesdk
Then in adaway click the 3 dots in the top right to open the menu, select "Your Lists" then press the menu button again in the top right and press "Import all lists" and select the file you downloaded.
With the urls added go back to the adaway main screen and press "Download Files and Apply ad blocking" and Reboot device.
Once your phone has restarted install the Lloyds Banking app but don't open it. Go into Magisk Manager and select Magisk Hide from the menu and tick the Lloyds Banking app. Reboot phone and Lloyds should work perfectly!
I managed to do this from researching other threads and adding my own bits in so credit due elsewhere as well, as usual you can follow this guide but do so at your own risk, i take no responsibility

Great to hear
Awesome, works for Halifax app as well!
This also allows the Metro Bank app to run. Thanks
Could you make this to work with Digibank DBS Indonesia? I'm stuck to stock rom because of this

This should also work for Halifax and TSB but with a different URL nice work but what happens if they fix this? No banking app again....
Also do you know how to get past Natwest?

Natwest in UK does not prohibit rooted phones.

Just want to say Thanks for putting this together, there are several Threads giving info but this one has got it all in an easy to use format.

And, finally, after about a month of failing to access my Bank account--- success, after following all the necessary actions, I can now once again use Online Banking via the App.
Let's hope they don't make further changes that mean we can't, in the future.
Sadly it doesn't work for me.
Santander app on Oneplus 5T.
Get the solid red screen for a second or so then "Santander UK has stopped"
Is this what usually happens if the app detects root?
Cheers!

I'd expect the app to tell you that you have a rooted phone instead of crashing. I'd try clearing data again, then removing the app completely and making your you followed the instructions fully.
If you haven't Magisk 17.1 then getting this together with the latest stable manager is also recommended. For a weird reason 16.4 has issues for me after some ROM update and wouldn't pass the Safetynet check any longer (even after complete removal and magisk reinstall). However, 17.1 somehow fixed it for me.
While I'm no fully sure about Santander, uninstalling and reinstalling the app also was essential for Lloyds on my phone (just clearing data and adding + applying the blacklist still showed the rooted message).
Good luck,
This thread is amazing, good work OP!
I am having an issue unfortunately when it comes to selecting the downloaded item. I'm unable to select the file from my Downloads, slight grey hue and long holding tap does nothing. (I'm trying to import)
I've checked and in the Downloads manager the file definitely exists, I just can't seem to apply it.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I solved the issue by granting Adaway storage permissions and importing the file from my Google Drive.
