Possibble fix for Substratum on K8 NOTE - Lenovo K8 Note Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey there,
I recently noticed that many people were having issues installing substratum themes in Lenovo K8 Note after some updates even though they were able to do it earlier. I was also experiencing this issue and have a temporary fix for it:
REQUIREMENTS :
- Unlocked bootloader
- Root access with magisk installed
- TWRP installed
PROCEDURE :
- Uninstall substratum app and systemless substratum module from magisk
- Boot to TWRP and click on WIPE > ADVANCED WIPE > and check dalvik and cache ONLY!
- Reboot to system and install systemless substratum module and substratum app
- Download any Legacy supported theme like PitchBlack Origins, Swift Black/Dark and apply theme
And there you go, your theme should be applied after rebooting!
Thanks.
CAN'T CONFIRM IF THIS WORKS OR NOT

[Guide]Flash Root/Xposed - Differences between System and Systemless Mode

Because several Users have problems with understanding what they actually should do i think the easiest way is writing some How-to.
Guide for Unlocking Bootloader Backup TA and so on
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY CAUSE YOUR DEVICE
Your Bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP recovery installed.
1. Systemless Root/Xposed
Systemless Mode means that there is no File changed in your System Partition, this works because the main changes are made in the Kernel and not to the Android System itself. Because of this you have a special file on your Internal Memory in /data/ for Systemless Root you get a su.img file and for Systemless Xposed you get a xposed.img file. If you have both sure there are both files present. These files are loaded while your device is booting before the Android System is booting. This is good for us because we can easily Update our Systems (on same Rom).
1.1 Download latest beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework and place them on your sdcard.
1.2 Reboot into recovery and flash beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework (if both, in that order)
1.3 clear cache/dalvik
1.4 reboot
2. System Root/Xposed
With System Mode your changes are direct on the System Partition and mostly Updates dont work.
2.1 System Root is not available for our Device with MM. Download latest beta-superSU/xposed Framework and place them on your sdcard.
2.2 Reboot into recovery and flash beta-superSU/xposed framework (if both, in that order)
2.3 clear cache/dalvik
2.4 reboot
3. Change your Kernel while having a Systemless modified Android
Because the changes that were made while flashing Systemless Root/Xposed, your System wont work with just flashing the new Kernel.
3.1 Download the new Kernel to your Computer (make sure it is with TWRP or you flash it seperate after flashing the Kernel).
3.2 Download latest beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework and place them on your sdcard.
3.3 Reboot your device into fastboot mode and flash the new Kernel "fastboot flash boot xxxx.img"
3.4 Reboot your device into TWRP and flash beta-superSU/systemless xposed framework (if both, in that order)
3.5 clear cache/dalvik
3.6 reboot
4. Switch between System and Systemless Mode
For Switching from System Mode to Systemless with Xposed:
4.1 Update or install Material Design xposed installer App
4.2 Download the usual xposed uninstaller zip and the systemless xposed framework for your device
4.3 Open Material Xposed Installer and deactivate the framework
4.4 Reboot into recovery
4.5 Flash the uninstaller zip
4.6 clear cache/dalvik
4.7 Flash systemless xposed framework
4.8 reboot into System (take a few minutes)
4.9 Open Material Xposed Installer and activate Systemless Xposed framework
4.10 reboot
5. Delete / uninstall Systemless Root/Xposed
5.1 Open Material Xposed Installer and deactivate the framework
5.2 restart your System
5.3 Use an Explorer with root access and delete the files "/data/su.img" and "/data/xposed.img"
5.4 restart your System
If i forgot something please tell me i will add it.
Regards
make this for locked bootloaders :/
Can you please provide the link for systemless xposed file??

[GUIDE] Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 w Magisk + Xposed (systemless) + Supersu + Arise

First of all I would like to say that this is a revised version of an earlier guide which focused on xposed together with goodix. Since Magisk 11.1 was released we can now have systemless superuser and xposed on this rom without much trouble. I will also list steps for F2FS on data/cache but I won't be doing a guide for those of you with roms without Radon kernel built in because it is a pain in the you know what and I already laid out the steps in a previous guide.
So, first of all here are the things that you will need:
Links at bottom of page
a) Any version of Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 for those of you using EXT4.
b) My version of Resurrection Remix FK 5.7.4 with Radon built in for those of you using F2FS
c) gapps
d) Supersu 2.79SR3
e) Magisk 11.1 zip
f) Magisk Manager apk or internet access to download from Play Store
g) Xposed v87 johnwu edition (systemless)
h) Xposed material apk
i) Radon kernel installer
j) goodix patch for goodix fingerprint users
k) Arise swansong installer (I am using v2.90 at the moment without issue)
For those of you using F2FS follow these steps first:
Make sure you are using my version of Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 with Radon built in. See above.
a. Using a F2FS compatible recovery such as Strix M4-0, wipe all partitions.
b. Convert data and cache to F2FS - in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Choose data partition > change filesystem > F2FS
c. Repeat step b for cache partition
d. Go to settings in TWRP and check "use rm -rf instead of formatting"
e. Continue to step 2a.
Now let's get to the steps to get this up and running:
1. If you are using EXT4 for data/cache go ahead and wipe all partitions and format data
2a. Install ROM + Gapps and reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery. Goodix users go to step 3. FPC users go to step 2b.
---------------------
2b. This step is only for F2FS users with FPC fingerprint sensor. If you have a FPC fingerprint sensor and want to stay on stock kernel you can skip this step and go to step 3. Install radon kernel then reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery.
---------------------
3. Install Supersu 2.79SR3 and reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery. (this step will block magisk from installing it's own implementation of superuser which currently does not allow a proper interactive shell in terminal)
4. Install Magisk 11.1 first and Xposed johnwu second using add zips. Reboot to system and allow setup screen to appear.
---------------------
If you have a goodix fingerprint sensor complete steps 5a - 5c. If not continue to step 5d.
5a. Reboot to recovery.
5b. Install goodix_fp_8.zip first and Radon 3.9/4.0 second using add zips (choose goodix). Reboot to system. Wait for setup screen to appear and reboot to recovery.
5c. Install supersu 2.79SR3 again. Reboot to system. (goodix patch will break supersu so this is necessary for goodix users)
----------------------
5d. Complete setup and install Magisk Manager from play store or apk.
6. Install Xposed material apk.
7. Done! For Arise audio continue to step 8.
---------------------
8. Open "AudioFX" app. Toggle the "on" switch to the "off" position.
9. Go to Settings > Apps and find "AudioFX." Click on it then click the disable button. Reboot to recovery.
10. Install Arise zip. Reboot to system.
11. Done!
Right now I have only tested a few things because there are so many options in the Arise installer. Don't use the "remove deep buffer" option because it presented issues for me and is unnecessary on this phone. Right now I am using Viper4Arise 2.5.0.5 with the default ICE audio configuration and default ICE preset. Everything else was skipped except the option to repair sd card permissions (why not?).
--------------------
Note: To pass safety net check install Xposed module "No Device Check."

Xposed for k10 successfully working

Im not responsable for hard bricks/ soft bricks on youre devices do at your own risk
I already test it and works on my rooted ms428
I want to give a special thanks to the devs for the patience, dedication and for working hard to make the root possible for this device
Its highly recommended to perform a nan-backup incase of an emergency or incase if you want to go back
The steps are quite simple
1) root your device, if you dont have it rooted here is the link for the steps to root for the lg k10 both metropcs and T-Mobile editions only
(forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/root-twrp-rom-t-mobile-k428-k10-t3582493)
2) install magisk manager on playstore
3) open magisk manager and install the zip file via automatic
4) boot into twrp and flash the zip file located in magisk folder
5) once it done wipe cache and dalvik cache
6) once it finish booting open magisk manager and click on downloads tab
7) install on magisk xposed framework sdk23 (marshmallow) *note if you have lollipop its the sdk22
8) once it finished click on reboot later, boot into twrp and wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot
9)install xposed apk (its the one i use on my ms428 forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758)
10) enjoy
See it for your self ?
itztropic- after I rooted I just downloaded the xposed framework from the website normally and it worked properly, I must be not understanding something about the method you described?
I don't really understand what magisk is for I thought it was a developer tool of some sort (which i'm not)

Magisk is a frontend designed to manage apps and modules that use systemless capabilities. It has its own superuser based on phh's superuser, and features modules much like Xposed, though some are useful even on Nougat. Xposed can be installed systemless as well and Magisk can disable and re-enable root and Xposed on the fly, as well as its modules, so you can have a rooted phone and still use Android Pay and Pokemon Go.

Don't re-create threads when they are already present. LG K10 ROMS, KERNELS, RECOVERIES, & OTHER DEVELOPMENT is not the place to post these kinds of things.
There is already a thread for Xposed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-xposed-lg-k10-t3505970.
Post it there. Delete this thread.

Thanks for the explanation-also Overdrive took some time via pm to explain a few things about it. I've been working with it a couple days and I like it now that I understand, another cool thing to learn about

I've tried with both Xposed versions (system and systemless) without success. After flashing Magisk, the system starts normally so I think that the point is Xposed... Maybe it's not compatible with 7.1.2 version?
