need help for installing google pixel camera install on xiaomi A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone i know there are tons of videos on youtube for installing google pixel camera on Mi A1 without root method.
I dont know how risky of activity is but i dont want to stop security update,also if i uninstall pixel camera apo can i have install again directly or follow method
And what is bricks of mobile?is it useless or does not get recover from service centre?
Waiting for your answer and thanks in advance.

Magisk root is perfectly safe and doesn't break updates. It doesn't touch the system files. There are also magisk modules to enable the camera2 api and some permissions needed for Gcam, also systemless, so you don't mess with system files manually. You can uninstall everything back to stock in a few easy steps when you want to. This way, you will not break warranty, you still get the updates (following another really easy guide to disable root, update and re-enable root) and you may install any Gcam version you want like any other apk file (there are hundreds actually). There is no risk in this method and lots of benefits.

Snapchat After Root but Without Xposed?

So I'm no stranger to Snapchat and how it doesn't work well with Xposed. Previously I would always sign into Snapchat prior to installing Xposed and I would be able to use Snapchat just fine. However after recently installing Stang's ROM I'm not able to log in anymore, even without touching Xposed. I did some searching and apparently Snapchat is blocking all Root, not just Xposed anymore. People are now having to unroot, login to Snapchat, and then reroot to be able to use it. But given our convoluted Root situation by using the engineering Kernel, and also given the fact that Stang's ROM is prerooted, how would I go about doing this? I'm back on Stock G935U firmware for now, but I'd love to be back on Root. Any ideas?
I believe that snapchat now detects root even without xposed because I signed out and to find out I couldn't sign back in
You can use a third part Snapchat app, like Casper.io. It's not the official Snapchat app, and it doesn't have all the features of the official app, but it works rather well.
Casper works but you run the danger that they may ban you and its only for viewing other snaps since you cannot do anything with the camera option..just take boring photos

Snapchat not working, unrooting only solution?

I'm considering doing this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110 in order to get snapchat working again, but what's not clear is whether that process wipes the phone or not (I'm assuming it does).
I was going to try the "log into a second device then backup to first" process here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/snapchat-rooted-phones-xposed-t3283198 but it looks like that doesn't work anymore?
There's also a post deleting a certain file https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/snapchat-rooted-devices-xposed-nougat-t3483001 but I get "operation failed" inside Root Browser whenever I try to rename, move, edit permissions for the file liboemcrypto.so
Current Android Version 6.0 and I followed the root process here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808 using the alternate SuperSU version.
The way I have always done it is just restore a backup with TB with data. I have had problems in the past, but another way would be to find a ROM with a root on/off switch (Like a CM base where you can enable/disable in dev options), unroot, log in to Snapchat, BACK UP TO TB (and save it in 9 places in case it gets corrupted somehow), and then root once again.
Going back to stock is pretty extreme for this issue honestly. You can work around it without going through that process. The reason the xposed process you linked isn't working is because of root, not JUST because of xposed. So those people would need to disable the xposed framework, then unroot, THEN log into Snapchat. They seem to be missing a step.

What would happen if I tried SuperSU's "full unroot" function? Agree going back to stock is pretty extreme, but I also noticed I don't have the latest update, and presumably at some point I'll need to update to Nougat. There aren't any apps that I use that require root anymore.
Easiest way to use snapchat and root. Login to snapchat before rooting. Root. Do not log out of snapchat. Or you can go the magisk way with magiskSu and use magisk hide.

Few Questions reg magisk, recovery and OTA updates

Hi all,
Basically I want to root my mobile without loosing access to my corporate mail and banking app (which doesnt work on rooted mobiles - and which I assume will work with magisk). I have below queries if anyone can answer will be grateful
1) I want to use adaway, font changer, build.prop hack for api2, all mods in this thread https://goo.gl/PZYFZH & https://goo.gl/fgDMWu (Some of them req twrp). Will I still be able to access corporate mail ?
2) can I just unroot and re-lock bootloader to get and install OTA
3) Will I lose data after point 2
1. as long as you enable Magisk hide + specify your email/banking apps in the menu, you should be able to use them. You might be out of luck if you use Xposed though (it breaks Safetynet).
2. when OTA arrives, restore stock boot image from Magisk, apply OTA and when the phone asks for a reboot, install Magisk to the second, updated partition. After reboot you'll have updated and rooted system.
3. there is no need to relock the bootloader, so no risk of data loss.

Thanks a lot. I installed magisk. Everything is good so far. Any good modules/mod/hacks can you suggest please
Also Reg 2nd point, i dont mind losing all the data. Just in case anything happens, can I flash stock rom, and get the phone back in mint condition?
You can relock the bootloader as long as you have stock kernel, recovery and system. Lazy way is to uninstall magisk ("restor stock boot image"), the safest way is to download stock rom and flash it (with or without data wipe). Btw. Xiaomi is the first phone which did not perform factory reset while unlocking the bootloader, so it's possible that you will lose nothing during relocking.
Personally I'm using these modules/mods from repository:
1. Google framework - to be able to install Google phone dialer from play store
2. Google lens enabler - to be able to use..Google lens
3. Greenify4Magisk
4. Xposed
+
5. Custom made module with these build.prop fixes - enable EIS, camera2api, add more volume steps, fix voice recording noise (there is similar module available at XDA with additional mods which I wasn't interested in)

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't support nearby places search and caller ID, the only two features which are missing in stock Mi A1 dialer But with Google framework + unmodded Google dialer, everything works fine. There is only one disadvantage - if you install Google dialer and then boot phone without Google framework module enabled, it will disappear from installed apps and mess up dialer permissions and settings and you'll need to reinstall it later. But IMHO it's worth the risk

Root Galaxy S8 Exynos version

Hi All, i have backed up my handset, downloaded Odin, CF-Root and image files in preparation to root the S8 to remove bloatware but i have a question before i start.
The question is that i have a banking app installed which of course will not work after the root process so can i remove the root after debloating and then reinstall the banking app.
Cheers.
I guess there's no answer to this then !?
Why not use an app disabler instead of root if you just want to disable apps? I don't think removing root is as easy as it sounds, normally you just reinstall the firmware.
you can use magisk to hide the root. it worked ony my banking apps
Magisk will hide the root (although Samsung Health still reacted but I don't use that anyway ) and SuperSU has a hide feature as well. Not sure if the SuperSU one lets you do the app-by-app hide that Magisk does.
I never had any luck with the root-hiding apps/methods. The TIAA app complained one way or another, so I gave up.

Bypass Root Detection?

Hi,
I'm hoping I am posting this in the right place but after installing Magisk on OOS11 I am unable to bypass Root detection on my banking apps, I have used Magisk Hide and this shows all okay with safetynet but using Root Beer it still detects SU binaries etc.
I thought it was somehow detecting the unlocked bootloader but after uninstalling Magisk and leaving the bootloader unlocked the apps function okay.
If anyone is able to help that would be great, many thanks!
Have you tried repackaging Magisk?
Hi, yes I tried that to but still detected su binaries etc.
have you try to use Xposed module: Root Cloak?
for some apps, I can successfully bypass the root detection.
sadly for my banking apps, it's just no use. somehow it still detect the root even the xposed. so I decided not to root my phone
but, I think it might work for some banking app.
Hi, thank you for the idea but still no luck, I'm using Starling Bank if anyone else is also having the same issue.
I use starling bank also, but magisk hide is working as it should
Also force stop the app, clear the data&cache, re add to magisk hide the try again
Ps - root beer will detect su binaries; that's it's purpose. But when you use magiskhide on root beer it hides them as expected.
