need help with viper4android on CM13

OK I'm new to the flashing game. So I been hearing that viperfx is better then audiofx that comes with cm13. But I keep reading you to remove audiofx and have some unofficial version of CM13. I would like to know if there's a way to put viper4android on the official nightly build with the root access that comes with it. Also would it survive the nightly updates.
Update 1: I also have the Xposed Framework on here as well if that affects anything.

It's just another app you can use.. Google for it, install, selinux needs to be permissive aka moderate, download the drivers, and done..
If it survives depends on the way you flash, if dirty properly yes if clean no - just like any other app..

Alright. Thank you for the information. I kept seeing things saying you had to flash it in twrp and remove audiofx yourself. One more thing, I also keep seeing that after a reboot it will go back to enforced. After V4A is installed would I need to keep changing back to permissive or just for the install? Also will it survive the nightly updates CM does?

You can also flash it as a zip file but to my experience not necessary.. If you have to remove any other audio programs I don't know I used it on aosp..
PS: don't write thanks, hit the like button instead!

Systemless SuperSU for stock roms

Hello all,
as you may know installing systemless SuperSU for Z2 stock roms was not possible until now due to the ELF format of the boot image. As a workaround one was required to install SuperSU in system mode, but support for this installation type seems to fade away...
In order to have convenient solution to enable systemless installation for elf boot image files, @adriandC created a tool called boot_bridge that works around the limitations caused by the ELF format. Up to now, only Xperia SP and similar device have been supported.
But, due to the recent efforts to support ELF images in libbootimg (backend library used by MultiRom) and which are found in Z2 and similar devices, the boot_bridge tool now supports the Z2 as well (boot_bridge also uses the libbootimg library). This is a result of a collaborative effort of AdrainDC and me wherby the main portion of the work on the boot_bridge was done by AdrainDC (I focussed on the Z2 ELF support, where AdrainDC fixed may changes such that the Xperia SP support is no broken )
You can find the tools here:
boot_bridge
Regards,
Diewi
P.S: I am posting this here to raise awareness of this useful tool, since this update may be easily missed in the cross-device dev section).

very interesting and saw this in Cross Dev section . will try and let u know
Do i have to come from clean install of the ROm ? currently im on stock .291 with super su

To be safe, uninstall supersu before. Either via a the uninstaller or by flashing stock.

Does this mean that we can now use Magisk, for example?

I have this exactly same doubt. I was using Magisk on my Z2 with @Gustavo RD78 amazing Advanced Stock Kernel, but after Magisk 6.0 i always got a bootloop when i try to use then

Hmmm I have Sony Xperia Z2 with Elite Kernel v3, Xposed, SuperSU, and Magisk V8 installed and everything is working fine for me

Custom kernels are not using the ELF format. The boot_bridge is for the stock kernel, not custom kernels compiled from stock sources.

So bootbridge will help us with e.g android pay? (systemless root on stock kernel?)

UBL only?

IF you need stock for that then: probably yes. But I am not into this android pay stuff (which has even more scurity mechanisms AFAIK to even detect systemless root), so at least I can't give you an answer to this. Anyone?

[GUIDE][6/27/17] Magisk V13 + Rom + Passing SafetyNet + Working Modules for Pixel

I am creating this guide for Magisk v13 and working modules. Please let me know if there are additional ROMs that this guide works with, but I am trying to keep the steps as simple as possible.
Magisk Installation Instructions:
Download Latest PureNexus / PA ROM and follow those instructions
Boot into the ROM and go through the initial set up, at this point verify that SafetyNet is passing. If it is not you may need to factory reset and re-install your ROM.
Reboot into TWRP
Flash the attached modified Magisk-v13-Pixel (from Goodwin_c)
Flash the attached verified boot signer (from Chainfire)
Reboot the System
Uninstall the version of Magisk Manager that shows up in the drawer
Install the attached version of MagiskManager_v13_new5.apk (from Goodwin_c)
Open Magisk Manager (you may need to wait a bit, I had to clear it from my recents a few times before it launched and asked for file system permissions)
Go to the app settings and tick on Magisk Hide
Re-run SafetyNet and verify it's passing

Working Modules
I will create a video guide on how to modify modules to work with the Pixel phones until Magisk is fully updated to support Pixel.
Modules I have modified to work with Pixel:
Emoji One - systemlessly replaces emojie font with Emoji One.
Tethering Enabler - enables tethering on phones where it is disabled by the manufacturer/provider.

Is v13 working for you. I tried it when he first released it. Very glitchy. Went back to 12. A few of us did. That and we couldn't restore a backup with TB.

These still looks like the ones @goodwin_c created. If that's the case, then yes, it's very glitchy and you are better off sticking to v12. It is a good starting point though and hopefully he can get an updated v13 working soon!

I haven't had any issues yet, but I've only been using it for a few days. I have the Arise module installed and have been using Dolby Atmos while maintaining a clean SafetyNet

What rom are you using? The issue I came across that Goodwin confirmed was that root seemed to work, but apps like Titanium Backup didnt work properly. Are you running any apps that require root? And do they seem to perform correctly?
It also looks like he released a v13_new5.apk on his AFH account. Are you still using new1? Just curious if the new5 version might fix any previous issues.

Yeah, I haven't tried Titanium backup, I'm using Solid Explorer and Greenify with root and they seem to work alright. I am still using new1, I will update to new5 and play with Titanium to see if I can get it to backup and reinstall an app

Only custom rom? Anyone tried on stock image?

Excuse me, may I know is there a thread by Goodwin_c publishing the modified Magisk?
I just want to keep updated to his modification.
I have been using his modified Magisk v12, but finding it from RR thread.
There is no way to know if it is updated or not.

The zip failed to flash for me. Couldn't unpack boot image.
Pixel running PN 7.1.1, twrp RC1.

I'll update the post date in brackets when I make updates here. Goodwin_c does not have his own thread, so I've just been monitoring his android file host account. The original poster has not updated or maintained his guide from the RR thread, so I created a new one to be as up-to-date as possible and include modules as I modify them.

I've included both of those. I basically have been using beyond compare to compare the arise module that works with pixel to other modules and re-zipping them and testing with my device.

I see. Thanks.
Btw do you know the difference between v1 and v5 apk?
It seems MagiskHide is gone on v5?

I have tried Magisk-V13 on Pixel-XL with stock ROM.
I haven't tried it with stock kernel, since SafetyNet won't pass (as far as I understand).
Tested with Elemental-X + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet does not pass. App always says "cannot use Play service"
Tested with Kirisakura-Rebase-1.36 + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet passes.
MagiskManager-v5 does not come with MagiskHide, so I assume it cannot handle SafetyNet.
Both MagiskManager v1 and v5 loads very slowly.
Before the UI could be used normally (it means Magisk is loaded?), ROOT cannot be obtained.
So those boot-up root-required action would probably fail.

3 things I found so far that are not working or working correctly
1. Wifi network is not saved, so everytime I disable wifi, shut down the phone, or connect to another wifi and want to go back I have to login again. No big problem only irritating.
2. Samsung App store not working (but this is no problem for me just letting you know).
3. Samsung theme is not working, probably because of the night theme? (but also no problem for me, I like the night theme again only letting you know).
Have one question "flashing Magisk or superSU is a must", but after that can I unroot? or will that end in a bootloop? because I can't use snapchat now, I think I need to install snapchat and login before I install Magisk to get it work.
Again thnx for sharing the rom, and thank your friend for me!

1.Flash so called kernel.the one I'm sharing now is latest one.and the one that is used in the Rom is old one...

Note:- you can use other kernel too instead of mine...
2.yes galaxy app is crashing...you can delete it in system/app or privapp..forgot it's location.? But u can delete it there.
3.It's Weird issue. Other users didn't faced it but I'll let him know.
4.to use snap chat while on root is pretty simple.
Goto magisk manager tap on top left corner(side bar)
Go to magisk hide and search for Snapchat and tick it..now you can use Snapchat without issue
Note:- Before doing this you should install Snapchat freshly and do not open it..After installing it from play store directly go to magisk manager and do the steps as I told...now u .can open Snapchat and use it.
Hope it helps....?

Already tried that, but is not working. Just tried to uninstall magisk but could not boot up(as expected but had to try ) So no snapchat for me i'm guessing
edit: after uninstlling magisk manager I could login to snapchat. and then installing magisk manager again and both work fine!
And flashing your kernel from the link fixed wifi problem

it is not a TWRP flashable zip , you have to extract the content of the zip & then flash the content trough fastboot ,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img (if your main slot is a then flash with this command)
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
with fastboot binary inside the unziped folder , or cd to the directory if you are on linux ,
hope this helps .

How do you unlock the bootloader of sailfish updated to Android Q? There's a decent amount of people who're saying that the manufacturers shipped it with a locked bootloader in order to prevent the use of custom ROMS.

No Pixel Launcher! (EDIT: I am using gestures, see below.) There are some apps that add that capacity. I'm trying to restore the Pixel Launcher with TiBu but haven't been successful yet.

@kkjb gives info about how to add it back above but I haven't figured that out yet either. I've been having problems installing apk's on 10. I get a "Sorry, no application available"
EDIT: ES File Explorer and perhaps other file managers that haven't been updated to work with 10 don't work. Amaze or the native file manager works, as do others I expect that are designed to work with the scoped memory framework of 10.

Click to expand...

Research the differences between AOSP, Code Aurora (CAF) and stock Google. Then with custom roms that are built either from stock or aosp, you'll know what to expect. I'll give a quick overview for you.
AOSP is pure Android. While heavily influenced by Google, it's 100% open source and free to modify. It includes no extra apps, no Google, nothing. The only thing on this rom that says Google is the search bar on the home screen, and I'm fairly sure that's only for dev testing because there's not even a browser really, it's just AOSP's webview. AOSP is the cleanest, simplest system you can get. It should have the least bugs and also the least features. It literally doesn't include a browser. CAF is basically optimized AOSP. It's Qualcomm directed so optimizations can be done on the Snapdragon chips. You will rarely see AOSP without CAF code because no one likes an unoptimized phone. Qualcomm produces optimization code because they make the chips, Google adds Android features like gesture navigation because Google is on the software side, and the end result is stock Android. The main advantage to AOSP is a clean system. The only Google apps on there are the ones you install yourself. This is my preferred method since I like to add things one at a time, and if there are any issues I remove the last thing I added. There's no extra background stuff I have to sort through if I have an app crash or battery drain. The counter is that I get zero extra features, I must add them all myself. On this rom for example, gestures must be activated (the apks are in fact present in the system), no pixel launcher, no play store, no Find My Device, nothing extra. OP included a vendor image for Mind the Gapps. These are open source implementations of Google apps, but the apps themselves still use Google's proprietary code. Necessary to still use proprietary code if you want everything to work like stock. Open Gapps is one I've used a lot, still fits my preference because it only installs base Google framework, allowing you to choose what Gapps you install. For example, Play Music which I never use is typically just taking up space on my phone and can't normally be uninstalled. With Open Gapps, it's not installed by default in the pico package, and I can install and uninstall play music at will. This is base knowledge for installing custom roms. If you just want things to work, stick to stock. But I've found I get better battery life with AOSP/ Lineage and minimal Gapps. Lineage has more bugs than stock. Pros and cons, pick your poison.
OP- Not underwhelmed, I'm overjoyed. This is exactly what I wanted. Nice and clean, the only extras are what I personally add. My tether options are greyed out, does anyone know how to enable them? It can't be a rom issue, everything works. Just a build.prop edit I'm assuming?
