"Zygote" thing asked ROOT access!!? - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, can someone help me? One day I was zig-zagging by the internet, whatching some vídeos on youtube, and suddently, a app in the name of "zygote" asked root permission. I didn't have any app called zygote, so I got really scared. I searched for a 10-day old nandroid backup and completely reinstalled my system. I just wanna ask if someone knows what it is and what does it do
More probably important information;
I AM (and was) rooted
I HAVE (and had) xpoded framework installed
I had BOOTMANAGER, WIFI_PASSWORDS, StatusbarSleep, Lucky Patcher, Emoji Switcher, and a CUSTOM .qmg bootanimation.
For some reason, after I got that thing, everytime I tried to take a screenshot, my SystemUI crashed exactly 6 times
My SuperUser client was called "SuperSu" (the newer one) and was PseudoPro (had pro features without paying)
For some reason, I couldn't disable "Mount Namespace separation" setting in SuperSu before and after that "zygote" thing, but now I already resolved that problem
(idk if this might be important) I was using iOS 10.2 emoji
mostly of my usage in this device is whatching youtube and checking things out in XDA, dont get out of those websites often.
Also, thanks if you can help me out with that.
Thanks! :good:

Snapchat on rooted phones with xposed

(skip to steps)
As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework, at least upon logging in.
steps (modified and simplified)
a. uninstall xposed framework (ROOT DOES NOT MATTER, HAVING THE XPOSED APP ALSO DOES NOT MATTER, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FRAMEWORK INSTALLED) before installing snapchat then do a fresh install of snapchat. Only disabling the xposed module=fail
b. log in into snapchat whithout having the xposed framework installed.
c. after logging in, install the framework back
voila, now you have all the xposed functions plus snapchat working just fine
Goodluck!

As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework. I kept searching for a solution and all i found was rootcloack to hide root. It's good, but snapchat actually checks for xposedbridge.jar. I disabled the framework in xposed and snapchat worked without any mods and even with root. You can find rootcloack in xposedrepo.
steps
All in all, in order for snapchat to work (tested on lastest snapchat) you need to use rootcloack as follows:
1. install it and activate it under modules in xposed- then restart the phone
2.(i assume you have snapchat installed, if you do, clear data just in case) go to rootcloack,
3. under add/remove apps, click on 3 dots and "reset to default"
still in add/remove apps, add snapchat using +
4 under add/remove keywords and comands (do the same for both) add Xposedbridge.jar XposedBridge Snapprefs.apk Snapprefs (last 2 only if you have snapprefs module and you want to have no problems)
5. add the same commands to add/remove comands
done.

Another solution is to login before installing xposed and then you'll be all gravy. I just did this 10 min ago and can confirm it works.
Mine works just fine.

This method doesn't work for me.
I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
BTW I used a Samsung tablet as a second device and s6 edge for first device

Wound up installing Snapchat on another device, doing a backup with Titanium Backup, and restoring the backup to my primary device. I could not get the Root Cloak method to work.
Rooting phone.
Hi I got a question. I have a LG G stylo and I really want to change my emojis to the IoS 9 emojis. I was wondering if I installed king root and emoni switcher will it stop me from getting on Snapchat since Snapchat blocks Snapchat rooted users. Please let me know and I'm kinda scared to do this because I don't want to be able to get on Snapchat anymore. Also, if I delete the root app, will it be officially unroofed?thank you.
easiest thing to do is, make a TB backup of snapchat of you logged in.. that way if you get logged out you can restore the app data from back up and you are logged in again.
If you get logged out and do not have a backup, you have to uninstall xposed, login to snapchat, make a TB backup, install xposed and boom you are good to go.. no need for rootcloak.
the best solution is to install xposed uninstaller in your custom recovery mode if you want to login to snapchat in a rooted and xposed device. you can install xposed framework after you log in.
Hey everyone.
I have a few problems with this... First when I try to uninstall xposed framework, my phone will not boot. I have a xperia z5 premium, running RomAur.
Second, when I try to do a backup with Titanium backup from another device, snapchat will not start and instantly crashes upon launch after being restored on my z5p.
Any pointers?

ps. the problem is not the root or the xposed app installed, its the xposedbridge.jar which changes the code in the framework, snapchat sees that and crashes the application upon logging in, then the popular "can't log in"

I'm using an android emulator called AmiDUOS, it runs android 5.1.1. Blue stacks doesn't work for me.
I actually got snapchat working on AmiDUOS one point, I was rooted so used an app to freeze supersu so it wouldn't be detected, allowing me to log in but I got logged out and this way isn't working for me anymore. I've used rootcloak to cloak snapchat and supersu but with no avail. Do you have any idea what is triggering snapchat to think I'm rooted? Maybe they don't like that I'm using an emulator? Can I hide this?
Thank you
I tried the method given here bu could no log into snapchat, i also tried uninstalling xposed and backing up data using titanium backup. Is there another way to log in?
No Luck. I uninstall the framework (but the installer app is still there, that a problem?), reboot, install Snapchat fresh, try to sign in and get the same "Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later." message.
I'll try with titanbackup on my old phone later tonight to see if I can just copy it over like that.
Edit: I created a new Snapchat account with xposed framework uninstalled and it let me in. Seems like they are flagging accounts that try to login with xposed installed and/or root?

Simple method for root phone. Install snap chat on different non root smartphone and login. Install titanium backup, make buckup, send to your root phone install titanium backup and restore. I checked and everything works on my klte with blisspop

Just to add my experience - I was unable to get the root cloak method to work. I already had xposed and snapchat installed, and removing xposed seems risky so I didn't want to go that route. No matter how I set up root cloak, ensuring to wipe snapchat's data in between, it still wouldn't let me log in.
I resorted to logging in on my old phone and backing up snapchat + its data with titanium backup. It works like a charm. Good thing I have old android phones laying around!

app optimization after every boot

I hope this the correct place to post this. I asked in the nexus 5 forum but got no response.
Phone is a Nexus 5 running stock 5.1.1 with xposed installed and Nova launcher. Searching the web I saw someone suggest this might be x-posed related.
Out of the blue my phone is suddenly taking 30+ minutes to boot up because *every* boot goes through "optimizing" all my 183 installed apps.
I've tried :
1. Deleting Davlik and cache in twrp recovery: with no change. Several times.
2. Deleted some data and apps. I now have 9gb free. No difference.
3. I can't go into safe mode because it is not in my long-press power button menu (must have been modified long ago) and I don't recall the sequence to press for it. Not sure it will solve the problem anyway. Volume down during animation while booting did not take me to safe boot.
This is a recent problem. I was on vacation and because of limited Internet access I did not update my apps for a while and then updated about 20 at once. One of these updates did it but I don't know which. I'm ready to do a twrp restore to a nandroid before this started if I can't find a solution.
Please help.
Thank you.
Same here on Nexus 10 with 5.1.1. Tried a complete new install without better result. That's not xposed related, it's any update from Google in the apps I think.
Thanks. I am considering restoring to a nandroid backup from before it started.
Do you think it's the google play update itself or another regular app update? Might consider using titanium backup to restore to earlier versions.
I really don't know what it is. So I made a complete new install with last 5.1.1-factory image. It worked only for one reboot until apps was updated. So I think it's related to any update from play store.

Looked for it. There are several similar named apps in Google Play. Which one to use?
Also, I'm not interested in piracy. Is there another tool that can Odex system apps?
Or maybe Google will fix their bug..... ?

I have a helpful update.
I restored a nandroid backup from April 2 and the app optimization problem disappeared after 2 reboots!!!
This after "Google play services for instant apps" automatically updated. So, it does not seem to be the culprit.
The bad news: there are 71 apps waiting to be updated and one of them may be the culprit.......
OK, I found the culprit. It's the SuperSu binary. All was well until SuperSu updated. Even then it was OK until I updated its binary and rebooted.
I wrote to the supersu programmers but they already knew.
http://forum.supersu.com/topic/1817/explaination-of-update-issues-in-2-80-2-81/2
It's a problem with all the supersu versions 2.8x so far.
Hope this helps someone.
***Do not update SuperSu for the time being.

Uninstalling bloat apps not working

Hey all!
I am absolutely new to the rooting world (last time I used a rooted phone was circa 2009/2010) so please bare with me, I am have a world of trouble with getting the bloatware apps uninstalled from my phone. HTC u11, I installed twrp, I installed magisk, I tried to uninstall the apps, no dice, I then grabbed one of the apps out there for removing system apps, I gave it root, it failed.
I'm hoping to get to the linux subsystem to see if I can get a jdk running on this. I'm trying to make a dev box I can use while hiking (all with a microphone and finger tracking keyboard). But the first pebble becomes a stumbling block. How to actually get root and act as an elevated user in android.
Anyways I think I'm missing something and maybe I missed a piece in the documentation since I did kinda fly through it.
There are a few ways to remove bloatware.
You can delete them in TWRP.
You can delete them with a root capable file explorer.
You can delete them with Titanium Backup.
You can delete them with an app that's been made for the purpose.
If one of the above doesn't work, try another.
You can also pseudo-debloat by using a Magisk module that simply systemlessly "removes" them. They'll still be there, taking up space, but you won't be able to access them in any way (until the module is uninstalled). I don't think this is what you want...
Doing it in TWRP should always work.
With MagiskSU, I've personally tested it with both a root file explorer (FX) and TiBu. But, YMMV...
Purpose made apps might or might not work. It depends if they're properly updated or not.

Debloater

I'm using Andorid Q custom rom and rooted.
I'm not able to uninstall or remove stock google apps from Titanium backup like earlier. It says apk not found for any system app.
Then tried Magiks Debloater and removed Youtube.
Now whenever I try to flash YtVanced via TWRP it says flashed but when I boot to phone I cant find youtube yt vanced.
Whats wrong?
Also, is "/system/product/priv-app" or "/system/priv-app" somethign new path which got introduced in Android Q ? As seems due to this Titanium backup is failing and google made it real hard to remove such apps.
Sorry for being brief, but it sounds like you're using the systemless debloater module. The way this module works is by not *actually* removing the system apks from their directory/folder, but that it writes a systemless "blank" space, which tricks your phone into thinking the app is not installed. That said, the root version of Vanced is named to mimic the package name of the regular YouTube app (same name, so that other apps that would call up YouTube can call up Vanced, instead). If you "debloated" YouTube, then essentially, the debloater is tricking your phone into thinking it (re: Vanced) isn't there. If you were to re-enable the YouTube package name, then it *should* pop back up.

Question [solved] No app showing in settings/manage apps

Hello everybody,
I received a new Note 11 (4/64) for my son yesterday. The first thing I did was debloating it by using the universal android debloater (v 0.5.1), uninstalling all recommended apps.
Following that I registered his google account and installed family link and all the apps he needed from his old (and damaged) phone (just apps from play store, no data copied so far). When I finished I wanted to change permissions for a certain app but when I opened 'Settings' - 'Manage Apps' the screen shows not one single app.
Has anybody encountered something like this before or has an idea on what went wrong an what can be done to fix this?
Thx in advance
Ok, I found the error and fixed it:
Universal android debloater had uninstalled security center. Restoring it via universal android debloater solved the problem.
