Systemless ROM?

What is involved in taking a ROM, and making it into a systemless ROM module?
Can they be of a different Android version than the main ROM?

As far as I learned the Magisk ROM has to be compatible to your stock firmware and ROM.
And I can tell that they are possible. On the HTC 10, Team Venom build the fist Magisk ROM. They are now followed by LeeDrOiD and BadBoyz ROMs which are getting available as Magisk Module ROM, as well as as full ROM.
I can't tell you how they did it, as I'm not a developer, but you could ask in their ROM threads. Maybe they'll tell you.

OK. Yes it appears that their Magisk ROM is very specific to what is running underneath.
Thanks!

Yes and it'll always be, as Magisk adds/alters mount points on boot up, but otherwise uses the existing system and system files as well as data partition. Thus the ROM and Magisk Module got to be highly compatible. It's quite logical.

I guess I will have to be patient, and wait for the full Magisk multirom functionality to be developed!

Well, we'll see what pleasures this will bring. Would be nice to implement MultiROM via Magisk. Question is if it'll help. The new - Samsung build - Snapdragon 835 seems to come with a security chip, which will be able to recognize if you try to boot a custom ROM and won't boot the device at all in that case. As Samsung build it, I'd guess Exynos will have the same "security" feature.

If it is still "systemless", it seems like a Magisk solution could possibly be the answer. We shall see, I am wondering if the solution will be like the Magisk module ROM, but just replacing most everything, rather than just select parts.

Difference between Viper4Android and Viper4Arise?

I am coming to the modding game after an year or so.. I have been seeing Viper4Arise a lot. I wanted to know whats was the difference between Android and Arise. If it is same, why the same name?
I have being trying to get V4Android working with a few roms. I would also like to know which roms are recommended for V4A or even V4Arise(if it performs as good as V4Android).
I have tried RR v5.8.0 but couldnt get V4Android working on it. Also tried Tugapower which is supposed to have V4Arise preinstalled but was so unstable that I dint get a chance to test Arise out. Currently I am sitting on a wiped phone and waiting for a reply here.
I would prefer a rom on which V4Android/(Arise?) installation is easy and has some customization(optional)
(I would really love it if you could provide a detailed guide for installing V4A if possible)
Thanks for any reply. Have a great day guys!

This worked for me, using magisk, with SELinux enforcing;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-viper4android-fx-2-5-0-5-t3577058
Installed via TWRP rather than using magisk for any of the modules.
I also flashed ahrion's Dolby Atmos module which works alongside V4A.

Trying it right now! Thanks! Trying on RR v5.8.3
Which rom did you use it on?
Edit^ OMG it worked!!!! thanks a lot!! I cant express how grateful I am right now. RR v5.8.2

I'm on oos beta 7

I think Viper 4 arise is a new team of people and some were working on The v4 Android but moved onto the new project.

Any rooted 872 users gotten Xposed framework installed and working...?

...I tried but ended up with a boot loop and then had to restore using TWRP...
But I may have done something wrong, as this was my first time trying to install it.
Anyone got it working?

This belongs in the questions section

You have to use the magisk xposed module, you can't flash xposed standalone. Though I may be wrong, so double check since I'm only using magisk modules not xposed.

I actually gave this a try tonight using the 24 version of systemless installed with Magisk. The bootloop is longer, but it's a bootloop, so I am restoring.
Warning to anyone messing around with this -- do a TWRP backup (and Titanium backup if you are really paranoid)...in my case I had to again restore from the TWRP backup...
Also, mods you can move this to the Q&A section...sorry I am the OP and should have posted this there...

Your right this should have been on q&a. You said you used 24 version. You need to download and install the SDK 26-27 assuming your on android 8. SDK 24 is android 7.0 and 7.1 is sdk 25

I'm on Android 7.0 rooted T-Mobile H872, hence SDK24 -- I thought that's all we had available besides Lineage 15.1 which I am going to try a bit later.
If someone has a rootable Oreo ROM for the H872, I'd love to try it
Thanks,
MW

There is another ROM called aquariOS its better than los in my opinion. The developer is working on making a thread for it. I'll be working on the kernel myself standalone so stay tuned! The G6 is gonna be lit. Oh and its android 8.1

That would be great, please count me as an early tester. The current Lineage OS 15.1 has camera issues, and that is something I need for both video and pics with young kids and a business to run. I thought you could just lift he 7.0 LG camera app out of stock, but I guess there is more to it than that...

I'll get with the developer to add u as a tester. Also ya its complicated to port stock camera that's y I use arnovas gcam it works awesome and has portrait for both front and back camera. Also keep in mind that although its better than los. Some things still need fixing but for what u describes above, u should be OK.

That's nice hope it's going to be made officially available for G6 T-Mobile H872, unlike other custom Rom that didn't include us the T-Mobile version users.

What is WiFi ACN and can you send a link to to ROM? If it has working camera and video, telephony basics work (including TMobile WiFi calling), I'll try it.

Speaking of this -- what happens if you install an H870 or non T-Mobile custom ROM that was for another LG G6? The only difference would be the LTE bands supported, and I don't know if the ROM needs to be updated for that or if it is all handled through the SIM / Qualcomm Chipset.

I have xposed working properly on H872, rooted 11g version

Viper4android Android 11??

There is viper4android for android11 or I need to wait?

Based on the research I've done we'll have to wait. There was an update to the magisk module September 12th but based on the change log it doesn't pertain to Android 11.
I wasn't able to enable tethering or install viper therefore I rolled back to 10 and will continue to monitor.

Thanks ?

Just tried this and it does seem to be working. Haven't fully tested it yet though. But I didn't bootloop and viper seems to work. Pixel 3a XL on Android 11. Rooted with Magisk Canary, e66b0bf3 (20425).

This worked for me the first time. Pretty much flash/reboot and you're done... no separate APK, no extra reboot to install the driver. I'm somewhat amazed.

I can only imagine that whoever made this ZIP removed the need for the driver? I'm not quite sure either. But I scanned it for any malware or viruses and it is cleaned. Worked on the first flash and no bootloop so it seems to be legit.

I found mention of alpha versions of Viper being released elsewhere... I assume this is a product of that. I took a look at the scripts and it does mention moving native libraries around to various places and the embedded APKs and misc files looked similar to what I'd expect from the Android 10 version. It was just nice that the Magisk script did everything in one go instead of having to follow order-sensitive instructions with other Magisk modules then retrying the driver install until it stuck.
That said, the alpha thread said it cannot be used with the audio modification library module... bootloops to having your sim cards not be detected were reported until only Viper was installed.
Here is the alpha release post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83525879&postcount=4371
The YouTube link has a matching CRC to this one.

I flashed this one, but it's distorting my external speakers and is buggy, but it does process...so BE CAREFUL. This will get you there until a more stable version is out.

Android 12

Anyone flashing it?

Still thinking about it. Not sure if the current dp features are worth losing root and such for. Once the UI changes and the new widgets and such appear, it's on.

I was thinking about it too... But I think that it is dp1 and not stable for daily use... have to wait my friend XD

I'm on it and rooted. Seems ok so far, all my apps work properly.

Does gpay work with root? Also, are the new widgets present?

I'm pretty much going to be waiting a day or two to see what the reports are on how stable it is. DP1 don't always have the best track record.
Other than that I'm not rooted, so I should be fine as far as that goes.

Can you please post the patched boot image? I am sure it's magisk patched? I didn't do the full data wipe. I wonder if I should do full wipe of data partition?

You don't necessarily have to do a full wipe, but still I'm going from Android 11 to 12, thought it can't hurt. I can post my patched boot image, but it's always better if you just patch it yourself with magisk manager

yes, I have done it before, and will do it.

So, is it worth flashing? I'm still on the fence it GPay doesn't work, but if most/all others work I may be down.

Usually DP1s are buggy, but I haven't found any real issues at all. All my apps work and Safetynet passes now, so gpay works.

Another thing came to mind. Are bubbles present and working?

Running so far without any issues best I can tell. I am not power user, but mostly work emails, browsing, cameras and most usual banking, social media apps are working without any issues.
