Hi!
There seems to be a new Linux bug around, called Grinch. Researchers say it affects Android too. The idea is that if/when the bug is present, it allows running code as root... Which could be a door to rooting the device?
Anybody already looking at that?
Gilles.

The above patch has not reached the phone yet an I need to solve the issue.
I have a s4 sgh-i337 with the notorious google play edition and it appears as though these folks may of solved the google play issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...arigpe-omnirom-4-4-unofficial-builds-t2804295
Will this rom work on my phone?
All I need is a .config or defconfig from even an older series and I can recompile the kernel myself.
Is this information available?
Is there a way to drop the kernel variables and settings even one at a time?
Can someone point me in the right direction?

^^ has 4.2 roms and at&t will just force/push another update to the phone. Needs to be a 4.4 solution
Im surprised to see no ones brought this up in the S5 forum or over at Ubuntu. Isnt there anyone working on multiboot rom or way to dual-boot linux from sd card on the S5? If not, why?

Didn't search the forum before posting?
There are any number of variations on multi boot from Hashcode's Safestrap here to Tasssadar's multiboot for Nexus. And related proprietary modes that resemble user profiles e.g. Samsung's kids mode.
Google had also announced that full multi-user profiles would be supported from 4.2 /4.3 forward. But they subsequently restricted the feature to tablets and haven't done much with it since.
But you are probably thinking more about booting into something like Kali linux There have been a few threads about that. And it has been done for the S4, Note, Nexus, etc. A bit soon to expect it on the S5 as it has only been released for a couple of months. And it's a new processor too. Do you want to develop it for is?

Thanks for the reply. I did search "Ubuntu" and "Linux" within the S5 forum but nothing but a firmware dump or porting popped up. I'm new to Android and a bit wary of risking device trying to piece together methods from other devices. I don't care about Kali, just Linux OS i can boot into, not needing to vnc into a virtual environment.
Hello guys, i just have a (few) question(s)
So, last week i installed Google Edition Andriod Kitkat 4.4.4 on my galaxy S4 I9505.
This rom is till now, still amazing, fast and better than touchwiz in any way. But i can't seem to find on the internet how and which version of xposed framework i need to install, since it is per model (i think?) which model do i choose?
since i have a Galay S4 but my rom is not from a galaxy S4, i get confused which one i have to install.
Some links to downloads would be great!
Thanks in advance
Dylan

Hi mate
Basically it works in any android 4.0 + base rom device see from one of his threads
For which devices/ROMs does it work?
I develop the Xposed framework based on the AOSP sources. I'm personally using CM10.2 on an I9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2, bought in Germany). Basically, it should work on any phone which with a ROM based on Android 4.0 or later and an ARM or x86 processor (this is the processor architecture, almost all smart phones and tablets have either of those). Exceptions might be ROMs which are different from the original Android code in some very internal, central code parts (which don't need to be touched for most theming and enhancement modifications). But this is related to the ROM, not the phone itself.
The modules target higher-level code, so they are more likely to be incompatible with your ROM. Basically, the question is whether the methods and resources which the module modifies are similar on your ROM and on the developer's ROM. Let's say a module needs to modify the result of a certain method call. For this, it needs to specify the exact name and parameters that identify that method. If the in your ROM, an additional parameter has been added, the module can't find the method anymore and won't work. If the method can still be found, it will probably work (unless the rest of the app/ROM has changed too much).
There is not definite answer whether it will work. Just try it (of course, making a nandroid backup before is never a bad idea). If it doesn't work, just disable the module. You might want to inform the module developer (not me!) about this fact and provide details (e.g. a logcat and/or the content of /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/debug.log).
Try with latest 2.6.1

Any time mate.
I recently bought 2 of the new 2nd gen 7" Onn tablets with Android 10 Go Edition for my young kids. I have been able to root them with help from the wonderful people here.
Has anyone run into problems with the limitations of Android Go? Mainly it has disabled the "Draw over other Apps" permission/feature. This is mainly necessary for the childproof app locking protections I want to install.
As a work around I've have to get an old apk from a compatible app that doesn't request that permission, and this has worked so far. But I have other apps I'd like to use that don't have old apk's that work.
I assume once we finally get a full copy of Android running on one of these we won't get that feature. Just curious if anyone has another work around?
If you have them rooted, have you looked for a magisk module that might allow it? I am playing with flashing an Android 10 GSI right now. If I can get it running right I will post in the other thread I started
I have a rooted Snapdragon S8 (done by this method) and I want to install LineageOS (or any other non-samsung android build) onto it.
I have searched far and wide on this form an the internet and I have not been able to find a single custom ROM for the Snapdragon S8. Does anyone know of any of these ROMs that exist?
If they do not exist, would it be possible for me to make one? Is there a tutorial or resource to help me with this? I have a decent amount of experience with rather technical programming on the PC (writing Linux kernel code, etc.) so I would not be walking in completely blind to the topic, however, I have never really messed with android before (besides rooting this phone and a couple of Nexus devices).
I apologize if this is a repeated question, like I said, I couldn't find anything.
Thank you in advance for any and all help!

I also have mine with root I have tried with a lineage rom from an s4 but it installs but does not start. Look at the forum, maybe they will help you to achieve one.
