SuperSU and Nougat (system-mode) - SuperSU

With the coming of the great Google Android 7 it seems there is no more system mode supersu support (currently). Leaving us Nougat fans to use system-less mode... which I just cant stand... Most root apps wont work with system-less and you have to flash a ton of system-less zips to get certain apks to work. My question is will there ever be system root for Nougat; or maybe there already is and I am an idiot?! And if not; is that in the works?
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps it would be better if those apps were updated to support systemless root. Also which apps are you having trouble with?

ES File Explorer for one :/

root my lgL90 41510B/C/E WITH KINGROOT APK

found a new exploit without a computer apk file well ok i root mt lg L90 41520b/C/E with KINGROOT.apk WEBSITE IS KINGROOT.NET
actually it helped me a lot.
later i used a script to switch kinguser to supersu
I gave up on waiting for a root method from a more trustable source and used Kingroot despite of not trusting on a chinese app. Immediately after, I used the script to remove, uninstall and replace kinguser (and the others apps that come along such as purify) to supersu.
This is currently the only available option to root the updated Lollipop on D410hn (V20b). On V20a PurpleDrake script still works.
What scripts did you use? Any recommendation?
How can I find the Kingsport apk? Thanks for helping I am total list my phone has a build on it that my whole file system is screwed up.

Root /system in Marshmallow

Hi guys.
Currently have MM pre-rooted firmware installed, with TWRP and SuperSu 2.71.
Using ESFile Explorer Pro, I can gain root access to /, /system, but not /system/odex.app or /odex.priv-app or /odex.framework.
Anyone know why, or a work around for this?
Peace.
I would suggest either trying with another application (like Root Explorer) or SLiMM 1.9 (another MM based ROM, which works fantastically well, if you ask me).
Thanks, but no dice with Root Explorer or other apps.

If you have recovery, Try re-flashing SuperSU.zip and see if the root explorer applications work
Also trried that, but no luck..
Strange I can get root access to /system but some folders within it are excluded.
Thanks.

Priv-app vs Su privileges

As we're loosing the root/safetynet battle with Google I have been wondering about how to live without root. If I place an app in the priv-app folder I suddenly give the app permission to the system, how is this different from just giving it root privileges? If they are the same, what would I lose if I move all of my root required apps to priv-app folder and then un-root?
just tried moving Sixaxis Controller as system app, then unroot, it failed to load driver
So, yeah. it's totally different ball game

Yeah, IDK why though. Some apps like adaway and FlyGPS are perfectly fine with it and even tell you to put them there for root privileges, but titanium backup and root explorer won't work without su.
Would love to get rid of root on my phone as Ive managed to get away from xposed.
EDIT:Spoke with Colin from Speed Software (Root Explorer) and he linked me to this permission breakdown: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html

Magisk Hide not working for Pokemon Go

I'm using a Galaxy S8, Android 7.0, Magisk 16.6. When I try to play Pokemon go, it gives me the "OS not supported" message. The 16.3 fix didn't work back when it came out and I haven't been able to play since then. I did check the app in Magisk Hide and I activated the setting to hide Magisk Manager with a random package name, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I should do?
The only thing you can do that will work is to completely uninstall magisk. That should let you play pokemon go.
Pokemon also looks for a bunch of known root apps on your device, not only Magisk. And MagiskHide can't hide other apps.

What are those apps?

There are a whole bunch... Busybox installers, system cleaners, etc. There's an old list available somewhere in the Magisk PoGo thread (search), but that list might be outdated. Easiest thing is to uninstall some root apps and see if it works better.
An easier alternative, if you have the means to do it, is to use a clean spare phone/tablet for Pokemon Go, and keep your phone how you need/want it for everything else. Bluetooth data sharing is enough bandwidth to make PoGo work.

Sure.
Make sure you have Pokemon on the Hide list.
Hide the Magisk Manager (in the Manager settings)
Delete the MagiskManager folder on your internal storage (next time you download/install a module through the Manager the folder will be recreated).
Edit: There will likely be an update to Magisk that will hide the MagiskManager folder. But for now this is a workaround.

Hmmm, tried all this, but still PoGo will not comply, even when I sandbox it in the work profile. (island app) The latter sounds a bit strange to me, as it should limit access to anything. (Magisk Manager gets installed, but is hidden)
To be honest, PoGo is just a test for when they start messing with Ingress as well. When it's getting to much trouble to have the app behave, it's out. They are just games, nothing to compromise my device for.
Also rename or delete every file or folder on your internal storage / sdcard that contains "magisk"

Any file? Not only the directory, but one that can be found somewhere on the device/external sdcard? (Like Magisk-v16.7.zip which you need to install it...)
Strange it should see it when sandboxed.
You can try, someone else said so, I did also do it and had no problem anymore so far.
But you should be right, that when its sandboxed it should not see it anyways...

Before using the hide magisk manager option, make sure magisk manager is NOT a system app. This will successfully repack magisk manager.
Then delete magisk fodler from internal storage and hide PoGO.

May be other ROMs come with integrated Magisk. That was the case in mine. Convert it to user app first.
Then try magisk hide again and look for the package name in app info (It should be something random). Then continue with other steps as it is and it should work fine.
Let us know how it goes
Hi togehter,
if you use the Fake GPS Route, then uninstall via TWRP Magisk and then works PoGo (new version) perfekt, that works with my Samsung S5
I have a problem with my Samsung S7 edge, if I uninstall Magisk, then I have the problem, that the S7 go to a bootloop <--- Have anyone a idea?
Samsung S7 Edge
6.0.1
SecurePatch 01.12.2016
TWRP Recovery
If I install Magisk again, then boot the Samsung S7 without a bootloop, but then dont work PoGo
Xamel
Uninstall in the magisk app not by flashing a zip in recovery
Before I rooted my XZ premium I played pokemon go Just fine, afer Just enabling developer options (still locked bootloader and not rooted) it did not work Annymore, switching off developer options fixed pokemon go again.

AdAway not blocking ads after updating to Android Pie

Hi, so I upgraded to Android Pie last night. My phone is rooted and running OOS 9.0.2 now. I installed AdAway from F-Droid and installed the host files. AdAway says ads are being blocked, but that is not the case. Even added Systemless Hosts from Magisk and still no fix. Can someone help me out? Thanks

Same here, I came from Havoc OS 2.5 after a full wipe and rooted using Magisk 19.2, installed adaway latest and enabled adblocking in systemless mode. No adverts are being blocked.

Hmm, at least I'm not the only one
Seems like I'm unable to tick the Enable Systemless Hosts option in AdAway. Can anyone help me out?
So, I got it working.
Here's what I did:
I saw that the entire root partition is absolutely filled.
I then went to titanium backup and removed Google Play movies and YouTube to create some space and rebooted.
Then updated the hosts file, it worked.
Enabling systemless mode in adaway is something I didn't face, however try installing the latest stable magisk and the latest adaway from f-droid.
Thank you for getting back to me. How can I check if the root directory is full? I can remove Play Movies, but I have YouTube Vanced installed which I'd like to keep. Any other app that I can remove instead?
Well, it's the same issue here. The root directory is full. Uninstalling Play Movies and YouTube didn't free up any space? What are some of the stuff I can delete safely to make room?
Lol it's been like 15 hrs since I made this post. Is there absolutely no one out there who can help this poor soul out? This is honestly so annoying
Same issue here, deleting Google Play movies and YouTube didn't do anything for me.
Ughh. I've looked everywhere and still no answers
Reboot after deleting any system app which you think wont brick the functionality.
Rebooting after that is important, you would be needing something like titanium backup to remove the app.
Deleting only Play movies should be enough.
Update:
Deleting maps using solid file explorer from /system/apps created more space for me, REBOOTING is important.
Check the before and after screenshots to see the space created.
I just wiped data and flashed OOS and Magisk again. AdAway worked without any issues. The entire system is a lot more smoother now too, so its all good. Thank you

For checking root directory you can use Solid explorer or Mixplorer to check the root section storage.
Some apps are useless for me fo rthe stock ROM always like Google play music, Google play movies, Google news, Google drive etc.
After uninstalling these apps you can install any time from play store if any one of them you like to download again.
this is what I did to get it worked, go to Preferences/ target hosts file and choose /data/data/hosts
del
Just delete some apps in system/app and you are good to go. I did that. And running ok.
