IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
I have now updated the guide. We now use the official installer instead of the systemless installer due to a big change in the way the systemless image is handled (thanks to Magisk). If you have the old systemless version, you must remove it before installing the official Xposed. You can find a guide for that here. Alternatively, you can rebase your entire system on the new systemless Magisk system, for which I have a guide coming soon.
Getting Xposed up and running on this thing is pretty simple once you're rooted, but I got a request to make this, and I don't want anyone breaking their phone while they're trying to get it installed, so I made a guide.
Before you begin, you'll need your phone rooted with SuperSU (systemless root). This has been tested on V6.1 and V6.4 of the Amazon Prime edition BLU R1 HD, but I'm sure it will work on the non-Prime version too. You also must have TWRP installed. Not really sure how you got root without having TWRP, but you do need it.
As always, you're doing this at your own risk. It's not my fault if your phone gets bricked, damaged, or becomes sentient and plots with other Android devices to kill you and your cat.
With all that out of the way, let's get started here.
First, you need DVDandroid's Material Design Xposed installer. It's a really great alternative to the official Xposed installer and I prefer it on all my devices. You can download it from this thread.
After installing that, open it up. You'll be greeted with a screen telling you to be careful and that this could damage your device. Dismiss it.
Slide over to the official tab in the Xposed installer. We used to use the systemless version, but we can no longer use that one due to some changes that were recently made.
From the top dropdown, choose xposed-(version)-sdk23-arm, where (version) is replaced with the latest version of the file. This should be selected by default, but double check. Make absolutely sure that the ARM version is selected and NOT the ARM64 or x86 version. Flashing the wrong version could damage your phone.
Click Install/Update. Xposed installer will give you a few warnings and ask for root access, but at the end of it all, your phone will reboot.
The rest is automatic. Your phone will boot into TWRP, where it will run a couple scripts, and then reboot back into the system. The first boot process will take a long time, and might even loop once or twice. It will also rebuild the caches for every app on your phone, so it will take a while. Once it finally finishes, you should be booted to Android with Xposed framework enabled!
That's it! Install your favourite modules and play with your phone to your heart's content!
Also note that after performing these steps, your device will take a long time to boot up. The Xposed framework simply being initialized will make your phone take much longer to start up than normal. Every additional module you enable will also make your phone take a little longer to boot. You can disable the Xposed framework in the Xposed Status tab of the Xposed Installer using the switch at the top. This will disable Xposed and your phone will boot quickly again (without even removing Xposed!), so you can use this as a hotswitch for enabling/disabling Xposed (if that makes sense in your use-case). Removal of Xposed is also pretty straightforward. Just head over to the official tab in Xposed Installer and click the Uninstall button. I've never personally tried this because I see no reason for it, but I can't imagine why it would break anything.
This second post will be reserved for any notes I want to make about specific modules. If anyone discovers anything useful for this post, please let me know and I'll add it.
In GravityBox, enable "Force AOSP" in the About menu to fix a problem with several of the Statusbar Tweaks.
Some of Android N-ify's options don't work. Specifically, the Status bar header options cause the quick settings and notification panel header to become improperly layered, making it unusable. If anyone knows how to go about fixing this, please let me know. Disabling the options completely fixes it, but you lose the functionality. You will also want to disable all options in Notifications section to avoid the notifications panel looking awkward.
Having the GravityBox Miscellaneous option "Search bar visibility" set to "Hide and remove space" causes glitchy graphics when opening the recent apps/task manager. To correct this, set it to either "Default" or "Hide and keep space".
The following problems are the same issue manifesting in different ways.
Double tapping the overview key while only one app is opened and Android N-ify's "Quick switch" is on causes SystemUI to crash.
Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened, only one app is opened, and Android N-ify "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Return to previous app" causes SystemUI to crash.
Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened and Android N-ify's "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Cycle through apps" causes SystemUI to crash.
Side note, I hate the default clear all button (in the recent apps/task manager). It's ugly, takes up too much space, and is poorly positioned. If anyone knows of an Xposed module that can get rid of it completely (I can use a different one from either GravityBox or the best recent apps/task manager enhancer ever, Recently), or knows how to go about making such a module, please let me know. I would be grateful forever.
Just want to add that Xposed also works in V6.4. And also thanks for mentioning the unofficial Xposed installer app, the material design looks much better than the original

Thanks. Updated the first post.
Wow, never used Xposed before but this is pretty neat. I've got the CM battery icon on my status bar.
Nice.
Thanks for the guide! Love using gravitybox to make the navbar smaller. Anybody know a way to make double tapping power button open camera?
I'm getting this error in twrp. Any ideas?
After I click install my phone reboots into TWRP but it does not run any scripts and xposed isn't installed. Any ideas why?

Systemless Xposed is officially dead. Well, not really. Thanks to a new tool called Magisk, things have changed a lot, which means I will have to rewrite a good chunk of this guide. I will be writing a new guide talking about Magisk shortly, but for now, this guide is dead. Sorry.
I've updated the guide with instructions for installing official Xposed version, and I tested it. This guide is back in business. Now to work on that Magisk guide. Install away, @sporez @twotonejuggler!
Removing old systemless Xposed and re-installing official version.
Today, an update to the Xposed Installer was released. It should offer to update itelf when you open it. Please update the Xposed installer before uninstalling the old systemless Xposed package and installing the new one.
This will serve as the guide for removing systemless Xposed and installing the official Xposed package. If you would like to continue using systemless Xposed, you will have to get the Magisk framework, which I have a guide coming soon for, so please sit tight. It does require unrooting/restoring your phone, so don't get too attatched.
Make sure Xposed Installer is up to date. You need the 05/08/16 version or newer.
Switch to the systemless tab of Xposed installer, then click the Uninstall button. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, remove Xposed, and reboot back to Android. Xposed will be gone.
Reopen the Xposed Installer, switch to the official tab, verify that the selected framework is xposed-(version)-sdk23-arm (NOT any other version) and click Install/Update. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, then back to Android. It will rebuild the cache for all apps, so this first boot will take a long time.
You should be good to go.

reading about magisk, i think the only advantages of this is you can use android pay with xposed, but this device doesn't have nfc so... not useful here.
And to install magisk we need uninstall xposed and supersu to install magisk to uninstall xposed? lol
i think the only way to uninstall systemless xposed is reinstalling stock rom or not?
No, I didn't need to do anything besides install magisk and the supersu. After that, the uninstall of xposed from within the xposed installer is able to complete successfully. Then I was able to install the official version of xposed, reboot, and it was working again with all my gravitybox settings. I just don't know if I have gained or given up anything by switching from the systemless xposed to the official version!

Yikes! What a disaster. I'll have to make some changes. Sorry about all that.

I know this is all over the place, but I thought I would bring it here just in case anyone hadn't found the answer. I have seen a few posts about this on Reddit and some other forums. This will obviously hinge on having the unlocked bootloader. You will also need a file explorer that lets you view root folders just in case you want to make sure the binaries have been delete.
What worked for CM13:
Install SuperSU and use it's unroot method which should delete all SU binaries in /system/bin and /system/xbin.
Install phh SU and Magisk manager.
Reboot to recovery
Install the Magisk v6 and PHH SU files.
Reboot system after clearing cache
Access Magisk Manager and toggle root, it should prompt PHH SU to ask about permissions.
I have read that this same method works for PaulPizz and Jasmine Rom as well. PaulPizz has Xposed preinstalled, so you have to run the Xposed uninstaller and remove the Xposed app. Follow instructions from the Xposed for Magisk thread to reinstall xposed if you require it.
If you want this with the Stock Verizon image, there is a link in the Stock Image thread on page 41 with the bootloader removed for safe upgrade. I will update the post with links to the appropriate threads later today.
Credit to all the devs involved with the Note 4 and Android in general.
The method you've described worked for me on 0.35 PoGo. Then 0.37 update I already had to rollback.
I'm using HTC One M8, rooted, pph and Magisk on stock Rom, systemless xposed.
Now the forced 0.39 version does not run, leaving me with me 'Failed to log in' text. Please guys, work on some help I put my trust in you
I'm on Paul pizz and when i follow the instructions I can get full unroot, everything flashed, but when I go into Magisk manager I am not prompted for anything and if I hit the toggle for root it just toggles itself back. It appears that even after removing the super.su from system in twrp that I still can't get it to install.
I have also removed Xposed with the uninstaller and tibu to remove the APk. I can get systemless Xposed to install and work but not systemless root.
Any ideas?

I'd it's still detecting root, the su binaries haven't been removed completely. Also check that magisk toggles off root.

If you have xposed active, it may not allow you to toggle root off. You have to go to system less and deactivate and then reboot. Then turn off root in magisk. It's the only way I found to get it to work.

iSu [v3.5] Simple app to deactivate activate
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/isu-simple-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348
I've seen a few posts on people getting iSu to work to get PoGo on our phones. I've tried a few times but no matter what version of Su I have installed o get this respongse.
Does anyone have a verison that is compatible with iSu. Or could provide me some guidance that would be great.
Hi All,
Been a root user for a few years, so i know the power of the typical root apps such as SU, Magisk and Xposed.
I was messing around last night an managed to find a way to get magisk fully installed on my phone and it passed the safety net ( see pictures). There are pictures to prove i have got magisk, Also there may be a easier method but this is what i used.
Ensure you are on RR as i have not tested.
Here is my method:
1. Download both attached files
2. Reboot to recovery
3.flash SU
4.Reboot
5. Once system loads open up SU app and go through the initial setup
6. reboot back into recovery
7.flash Pixel Magisk RC112
8. REBOOT
9. go into the SU app and into settings, scroll down to full uninstall and click thorough the popups and uninstall.
10. your phone will reboot and go into the magisk app and thank me.
Thanks for reading
EDIT: ALTERNATIVE METHOD BELOW:
How I got this on pn, elemental and flashing the right zip in the op was the key for me, the 2 zips in the first post of this thread
Install pn
Install TWRP
Reboot system
Reboot recovery, install elemental
Reboot to system
Reboot recovery install magisk sr3 zip one on op
Reboot system
Set up super su
Reboot recovery, flash rc112
Reboot system
Super su full unroot, check yes to both
Should reboot system
Open and set up magisk manager,
Go to settings and check hide magisk and systemlesd
Seems to work better on pn
This follows the first post of this thread works good for pn
If magisk manger doesn't show up in your launcher
Install https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskM...ger-v4.2.6.apk

Here's another way new rr already comes with magisk manager on it. Just wipe in TWRP, flash newest rr, reboot system once and then flash this experimental magisk zip in TWRP
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767148610
Also when your done make sure to check hide magisk inside manager. And also if your a titanium backup user, you need to go to preferences, troubleshooting, check force busy box, and sq lite. That will make it work with new magisk root
Remember to check busy box in magisk manager app,
And give it a couple reboots, takes a bit to kick in.
Edit no longer have to do anything to get titanium backup to work, just check Magisk hide and systemless
Edit. Will work on big and small pixel
Edit updated new Magisk zip

At the very end of my method I had to reboot once to get it all working right.
For the full unroot part do I need to restore the boot and recovery img?
If I choose no it reboot with SuperSU app disappear but still rooted with SuperSU as shown in the magisk app
restore the boot and recovery, it should delete the app and no super su left on your device.
Awesome. Gonna try this out tomorrow morning.
Are there any other useful modules for magisk? I havent looked into them since it was in v6 or v7...
only thing i use is hide su or magisk
everything else seems irrelevant for me, but if you find something let me know.
Here is my procedure: I was on newest RR with ElementalX and SuperSU.
I followed these steps: recovery -> dirty flash RR and flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot = No SuperSU but magisk root works and safety net check failed in Magisk -> go back to recovery -> flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot, No SuperSU, magisk root works, safetynet passes, hide magisk from other apps in magisk setting -> profit (android pay, venmo, snapchat, all are working)

I have not seen anyone say they have decrypted the phone, Magisk is just now working on a few roms. I wouldnt bother, this phone has the processor for decryption.
So I take it that even with this it is one or the other with regard to having root (su) working or safety net passing for Magisk. You cant have true SU where you can alter system/app folders with Magisk root, you need true super su. So if I use Magisk root it limits me a little bit. But if I dont I cant use stuff like android pay, LOL

Make sure and enable busy box inside magisk manager settings. That might do the trick and I installed busy box like normal to, not sure if I had to, I think it might be built in to that app
Ok so I've been having a hell of a time with this phone so far. I have the boost mobile variant (xt1766). I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp, but forgot to make a backup before flashing supersu, after which my phone would no longer boot so I flashed lineageOS. It booted up fine but I had no 3g connection so I wanted to go back to stock. I downloaded the stock firmware, but couldn't get RSD lite to install on my computer so I extracted all the files and flashed them manually with fastboot. After that my phone wouldnt boot and TWRP couldnt mount the data partition so I couldnt restore my lineage backups. I had to format the data partition in order to restore from backup but now I have nothing on internal storage, and my phone wont boot into system unless I boot into factory mode from the bootloader. It boots up fine in factory mode but now I have no network connection, no service whatsoever.
Under sim status it says Network: unknown, cellular network type: unknown, Service state: Radio Off, etc. I tried manually turning the radio on but that didn't work. I really just want to go back to stock but I don't understand how to accomplish this. I flashed everything in the firmware package in the correct order, and somehow it just rendered my phone useless. any help would be much appreciated. I've tried just about everything and I'm at a loss here.
Update:
I successfully got back to stock. For some reason executing the fastboot commands manually one at a time didn't work so I made a bat file with all the proper commands, executed it, and this time it worked. Not sure why it didn't work the other way but it might be because I didn't flash the stock recovery so as not to replace TWRP. Apparently when flashing firmware its all or nothing.
Are there any custom ROMs with 3G functionality for this device? Cuz so far every single one I've tried gets no network connection but this stock ROM is lame.

Not "lame" unless that's the latest descriptor for a reliable, fully functional, device optimized ROM that just works. If you want additional bling/tweaks flash Xposed framework and a few well regarded modules like GravityBox.
Alternatively, you can cycle through the various custom ROMs and decide which suite of compromises you're willing to live with. Suggest a careful read of the relevant ROM thread before diving in. Be sure to backup what works (including stock!) and store those nandroids on a SD card and/or off-device.
Good luck.

That's because you're on boost, not many ROMs here have CDMA support. There is a fix in the help section. But stock is fine for me. Gravitybox and all features of any of the broken unofficial ROMs are all there. Rock solid, and LTE. But flash away dude.

I haven't been able to install the Xposed framework. Xposed installer says my CPU architecture is incompatible. When I flashed Xposed v89 for nougat my phone wouldn't boot past the boost logo. I keep hearing about people getting Xposed working on this device but I can't figure out how they're doing it. I would love to be able to have gravity box on this ROM.
Apparently the purityOS guys made an unofficial work around a while back but all the download links in that thread are dead and I can't find it anywhere else. It's my understanding that i need to be able to set selinux to permissive on boot in order to install Xposed.

No, regular Xposed. Wipe cache and dalvik, and wait. Let it sit 5 - 10 minutes. It has to optimize everything. Make sure it's the arm build. It works fine, just gotta let it sit. First boot takes a good bit.
Or use magisk, and install Xposed through that.
Do not use that old purity crap. That's why the links are dead. It's old crap. Xposed works fine with no extra steps or messing with selinux.

That's BS; don't overcomplicate things. Xposed framework installs fine in enforcing mode. Make sure you have the correct framework for Android 7.1 (SDK 25) and your hardware (arm). You will also need the corresponding management app. There is no need to wipe anything before/after flashing the framework although doing so can't hurt. First boot will take awhile; patience is a virtue.
Got Xposed working now with gravitybox and edge in full effect so this stock ROM is now much more tolerable. I guess I had the wrong version of Xposed installer and didn't wait long enough for boot to finish.
It broke safetynet though which I fully expected. I'd rather use the systemless Xposed magisk module so I can pass safetynet but I can't get any magisk modules to install successfully either through magisk or by flashing with TWRP. Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue either and it doesn't look like anyone has found a fix for it as of yet. I guess for now I'll have to live without Pokemon go lol

Well yes there is most definitely a fix. Your problem is the f2fs loopback bug. Your solution is the f2fs loopback bug workaround module. It's in the magisk manager app. Download there, but install it in twrp. Then magisk modules will work. You must have halted your research a little early because this is well known, and posted in many places.
You still won't pass safetynet with systemless Xposed. Which a little reading would have also revealed. But, you can turn off Xposed in magisk , then reboot and pass safetynet. Do whatever it is you need safetynet for, then turn it back on and reboot. You must completely uninstall the Xposed you have to use magisk Xposed. You must use the Xposed installer APK that's linked in Xposed for magisk so it recognizes systemless Xposed. So uninstall Xposed with uninstaller zip, uninstall Xposed APK. Wipe caches. Then you can just go in magisk manager, scroll to the bottom of downloads, install Xposed sdk 25 module. Also Xposed installer APK linked 8n the readme that pops up when you click the Xposed module in magisk downloads. See screenshots below.
Also, there is more to pogo than safetynet. There is an entire thread devoted to it (more than one) in the magisk section of the forum.
You have a bit of reading to do in order to do the things you want. It's all very easy to find. You don't seem to be looking very hard.

Also I certainly hope that's not the app I think it is (the smiley face)? You're not allowed to promote or speak of that "warez" here. So screenshot is not a great idea.

I'm well aware that the problem is f2fs loopback but due to the bug I'm unable to install the fix. Can't install magisk modules so a fix in the form of a magisk module doesn't really help me. Ive tried installing it with TWRP a couple times with no success. As far as PoGo I've actually never even played that game. Was just curious about it.
And I'm not sure what app you're referring to but that "wow" face is a chrome shortcut. Changed it cuz I didn't like the default grey square.

Trend continues; reread post you're disparaging. Or module OP. f2fs loopback 'fix' gets flashed in twrp or via fastboot (for the adventurous).
I edited my post shortly after your quote. Tried installing with TWRP more than once. Doesn't show up in magisk modules.
Just flashed with fastboot and now it seems to have worked. Fastboot for the win.
Maybe all caps will help out
go inside magisk manager> downloads search F2FS LOOPBACK BUG WORKAROUND, FLASH INSIDE TWRP!!! WILL NOT WORK IF ATTEMPTED TO FLASH THROUGH MAGISK MANAGER!!!!
hi ppl
it was rooted before. used twrp and some custom roms. but later it unrooted somehow.
I tried flashing super su, magisk and ioroot. supersu and magisk turn with an error msg
io root made it stuck on bootloader animation so I flashed a backup.
how to root it?
thx in advance
1) flash latest twrp http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/ - then reboot into twrp
2) made absolutely all wipes incl internal and data (delete all stuff) - then reboot into twrp
3) connect to usb - and simply copy rom, gapps, and root solution what you want to flash
latest stable magisk for twrp - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
latest supersu for twrp - Recovery Flashable.zip http://www.supersu.com/download
3) flash the rom what you wanted and flash gapps
3) flash magisk or supersu
(if android 7.1.2 or higher of course - I recommend magisk, because of working nfc pay features, a lot of great systemless addons etc...)
if you prefer old lollipop rom (for example CloudyG2_3.3 ) - it supersu only.
This is the correct sequence - which will eliminate problems with the firmware. If you deleted and installed the root earlier (as you say)

jeezes)) you already killed the rom.... and then restore the all this restores backup, this is a "dirty flash" with a bunch of "remnants". I recommend to do clean flash it in the specified sequence and everything will be ok.
You will spend a couple of 1-2 hours only on installing (and setting) completely all applications. It is not so difficult. But it will save you from a bunch of nonsense questions...
If you actually don't have TWRP recovery installed or old Kit kat Rom - this is absolutely another question and the instructions will not work for you. Also, Kit Kat and Lollipop based ROMs does not support Magisk - because of this error.

thx bro. I did all the steps but it seems same problem going on. sure I want the latest of everything. better updated all. so, using the latest twrp, I wipe all data then format all data then again wipe everything
this aosp rom and gapps worked perfectly. then flashed teh magisk but again its unrooted.
it installs magisk perfectly but root checker says its not rooted. anyway thx for help
btw, aosp rom android 9 has a bluetooth bug. giving a bluetooth stopped message every 10 seconds.
so any advice anout that problem?
you must grant root permission when popup (magisk) appears.
its not automatically
popup similar as in supersu
root works excellent on d802 with Magisk
for example Es File Explorer or any Root Checker

I used supersu and it turned out to be "certification verify" problem. OS not running because of this problem but says rooted. so I can still reach twrp but it really become annoying. this is my old phone and will use as 2nd in my Thailand trip soon.
what to do now? can I use unrooted with a sim card? with no problem?
Please, don't use this nonsense "overquoting" when you answer to someone. Have some respect to the forum rules, and users.
if you want stable rom for LGG2-D802 flash
1) aosp extended based on 7.1.2 or 8.1 versions of Android.
2) flash gapps nano
3) flash magisk zip
4) after rom starts - do the first quick settings - then open Magisk (and if needed update the Magisk manager)
Do not flash both (supersu and magisk) risk to brick the phone.
"device not certified" messege will be always if you use Supersu. It's obviously. Using supersu you unable to use apps like Google pay or any banking apps, because of system root.
Magisk is systemless solution, that's why Google do not recognize Magisk's root. And Play Store on about screen always show "Your device is certified". Also you can Hide root from some apps using Hide option in Magisk manager (it's very useful for local banking apps).
I have a suspicion that you used an older version of Android KitKat (official). And now you try to flash a new Rom (above the Android 7.1.2+). You can't do this. Because you must have Lollipop bootloader. You must be an Android Lillipop first. And then (get Root, then TWRP). And after all that - you will be able to flash some of Rom we are talking about.

Oh Finally!
dowloaded aosp 8.1 and all done. I was trying to use android 9 to be updated. But, pie becoming to be a "creampie" to me so I listened your word. and did it
just opened recovery mode and deleted all the zips. and copied new ones and flashed in order
1) aosp extended 8.1
2) open gapps nano for 8
3) magisk beta (yes this time I tried beta ver and it worked!)
after settings etc. checked with root checker and it was ok. so magisk.apk is not necessary now
thx again bro
