Viper4android on Note 9 (snapdragon) without root? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I just switched from my old good Galaxy S7 to a brand new Note 9 (snapdragon, couldn't find an exynos variant on my country)
and so far i'm loving it, the software (aside from the usual bloatware) has been excelent and nothing seems to be missing for me right now, EXCEPT for some decent quality audio.
I'm used to use mid-high tier headphones and all I can say is samsung is still giving us pretty much no control over the sound quality.
Now to the point of this post, I know there is a way to install viper4android by just changing the kernel to permissive (idk if this still works). I don't want to void my warranty by tripping knox this time, and up to this moment there is no reason for me to root my device except for the sound mod.
Does anyone know how to install viper4android without root?
Does anyone know how to change the kernel to permissive without tripping knox?
Does anyone know if there is or is in development a way to root without tripping knox?
Thanks for reading

There is a Viper4android non root version but as far as I know it can't be installed until we have TWRP.

Again as far as I know the only non root way to install Viper4android is through TWRP. Yes this will trip knox but is non root. TWRP will probably be available on a Snapdragon version Note 9 long before if ever root is. His wishes for no nox trip Viper4android are non existent.

didn't know setting kernel to permissive was doable non root.
i did a few searches about "viper non root" and they all point to rooting your phone as if it was click bait. even xda forums state that it is not possible. maybe im not searching correctly?

It does say some Samsungs. My non root experience was on a Pixel XL. So guys we won't know until TWRP. Until then it's a moot point regardless. To the OPs hopes... No root, no trip knox.... no Viper4android

Method of getting past safety net

I recently found this method of getting past safety net without losing xposed mods: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...y_have_found_a_workaround_for_the_pokémon_go/
I haven't tried it out yet, but I was checking to see if anyone had as I know that unrooting on the turbo is a dangerous prospect. Would this be recommended?

There's nothing dangerous about this, but it won't work. Magisk is incompatible with our devices, so forget anything involving that. In order for suhide to work, you need a stock marshmallow rom that will pass safetynet on its own, and we don't have that. Your best bet is to install the Resurrection Remix rom and use the iSu app that the dev made for it to hide the built in CM root, but you still won't be able to use xposed.
That worked until two days ago. Now safety net has patched it and isu doesn't work anymore. This is confirmed by BHB27.
So sad. I only got to enjoy android pay with cm13 for 3 days..

Lame. Well, Chainfire did warn us that this was a losing battle. I guess he was right.
Actually there's some light to the end of the tunnel lol It was some later changes that broke it. BHB is still figuring out what caused it.
But if you use isu1.2 and kernel 202.1 it still works (also must enable SE linux in the kernel editor). I didn't have to do all that to get it to work but for now this config still works..
But yes, this is a hard battle to fight.

Xposed on Note 8 Snapdragon

There is already an xposed framework that works with the exynos model, namely 26-07-17-xposed-v87-sdk25-Xposed-by-PurifyOS.zip. Would it be possible for the framework to also work on the snapdragon models as well?

Official xposed was released today. I am working on it for SD.
Pretty sure you will have to have root. I know I saw a post about root being achieved on SD it does not sound very good. You lose all kinds of stuff and the battery only charges to 80%

Hope they can fix all of the issues with the root and then I can finally use it but we just have to wait and see.

Depends on the person. I never use Samsung pay or android pay, so the only thing I'm losing is the 20% battery life. Which is a fine tradeoff for root to me.

@me2151 How's your progress with xposed coming along?

Ive narrowed it down to dex2oat and libart that xposed uses. Its not liking our OS so it isnt building the boot.oat files needed to boot. Because of that we bootloop. Im probably going to have to build an unofficial version specifically for the Note8 SD. Which im Dreading because I dont know enough about the samsung art to know EXACTLY why its failing.
EDIT: Progress wise. Ive managed to get the framework installed without bootloop however it refuses to run because I removed the libart for xposed
Thanks for the update.
Sounds like its going to be some what difficult to get it working.
Anyways thanks for what you've done so far. Keep up the good fight!
Xposed update. Finally managed to get a complete log of the xposed bootloop. Had to create my own binaries and run them on boot. @rovo89 has been contacted and hopefully we can figure this out.
Has anyone tested the latest release of xposed v88.2. I would do it, but I am not able to use the home_csc to restore to stock without wiping and I have already had to reset this phone several times already losing pictures and music the first time as I didn't think to backup them up like fool.

No updates atm.
Did this project die? I have 10 days to return my Note. I am willing to go S8+ given the 10% increase in battery (making up for the 20% loss somewhat) and of course, Xposed. Hoping there has been some promising results if even a few months in which case I will continue to hold on the the Note.
Any updates on xposed for the snap dragon vareints?

What are you using root for?

Now that root on X4 is pretty solid it would be nice to see what different people use it for.
Themes? Apps that need root? Magisk modules?
Let's share some tips and tricks!
I have not rooted yet but want to know if there is some interesting customised tips for motox4
For me it was actually needed to remove operator bloatware.
But I found here the (almost) clean EU retail ROM where only Linked-in and Outlook apps are added, so it's perfectly OK for me.
So... no need for root
I reverted back to fully stock but I mainly used it for AdBlock.
i use root for adblock. if i could find a way to write a hosts without rooting id be happy
You guys using ADblock, wouldn't it be the same to use a browser with this feature built-in?
Well, that works if you don't want to block ad banners inside apps.

It's not the same as editing the host file. Many ads still get through.
Another important reason why I need root. Titanium backup.

2nd This!
Rooted for.
* No wireless display support (edit built.prop)
* Adblocking( Edit host)
* Audiomods(Viper)
* Xposed modules.
@anas214812, now that's interesting stuff! A couple of questions:
1) is that wireless display mod you refer to able to show the phone content on the TV?
2) about Xposed, do you know if GravityBox works? I'd be interested in a way to set the statusbar clock centrally aligned.
Thanks!

Bro...warranty will be voided permanently...right now there is no way relock the bootloader and most of the banking apps not working for me ?
Ah! Thanks again for the heads-up!
Now I'll think twice before rooting X4, because I use a banking app and actually care about product warranty.

On my old Moto PE, I had no issues with unlocked bootloader and Magisk for Adroid Pay or any banking apps. Are you finding differently with Moto X4 or are you not hiding root with Magisk? Does safetynet checks pass in Magisk?

When I install magisk safety net was pass and after installing xposed and its framework.zip file from magisk then safetynet failed.
But even without installing magisk just because of bootloader unlocking my banking apps won't work. Even with safetynet pass(but Google pay worked).

what are the pros and cons (if any) of Magisk over SuperSU ? i apologize if this is

i searched for some info but couldn't find any at a glance so perhaps I will just ask you guys. I apologize if this is a FAQ and i just missed it. i have supersu. i wonder if i should move to Magisk ?
1. what are the pros of Magisk
2. any downsides of Magisk ?
3. is there any tutorial for converting from SuperSU to Magisk ? i managed to get TWRP and SuperSU because someone else did it on my phone. that person is no longer be able to help. different country different timezone. not a friend either. it was a paid service done in Hongkong where and when I bought the phone.
again I apologize if this is a FAQ. I'm a noob. I hope you guys can point me in the right direction. I just want to set this phone right from the get go. it's a virgin phone. haven't install anything yet. well i install Titanium Backup just to make sure root is working. 99% virgin i guess. thank you for any help and pointers
EDIT # 1 : forgot to add this is about Samsung Galaxy S9+ S9650 Snapdragon running 8.0 just in case it matters to those who want to contribute some info
EDIT # 2 : most likely won't be using this phone for Android Pay, SnapChat. but I would like to use this phone for banking apps. i'm not really into snapchat, instagrams, etc. me old timer
forgot to add this is about Samsung Galaxy S9+ S9650 Snapdragon running 8.0 just in case it matters to those who want to contribute some info
Open source. Actively maintined. Root hiding. Systemless modifications. Big community. Etc...
Possibly not compatible with as many devices as SuperSU was.

Is supersu even being developed anymore? I'd love to have at least some sort of crappy Plan B as it looks like magisk has a possibility of dying.

Asus ROG Phone 2 Tencent Game version WW should Root or Unroot?

My Asus ROG Phone 2 is a "Tencent Game" version. I already unlocked the Bootloader and changed the ROM from CN to WW so my device warranty gone already. So should I keep root my ROG Phone 2 or should I keep unrooted. I mean after rooting which extra facilities or which helpful modification I will get? After rooting I deleted some bloatware app like "Armoury Crae", "Netflix", "Facebook", etc but then my phone couldn't reboot after deleting those apps, so I reflash the rom and did not root again. So what I should do with my Unlocked Bootloader phone? Should I keep it rooted or just keep unrooted? If rooted phone can give me some extra advanced feature then please explain me what are those! Please!
well, if you need explanation of what rooting enables you to do... don't root your phone.

If it is very difficult to you to explain then you need not answer the post!
what i wanted to tell you is that if you don't know what rooting does to your phone, then you probably don't need root. or start educating yourself.

Ou! Rly? I have to flash it in Magisk repository or its an apk?
Edit: tryed, flashed the 22-02 version and working... But is so imcomsistent. I can not change any parameter without crash the app.
i had zero issues with dolby atmos. you do have to follow the instructions on installing the mod.
here is the link of the mod i'm using:

And what's your equalizer to listen the steps? More highs than bass?
And when they are cropped? It would be amazing for the last part of the match
Thx mate!
it's the movie preset. uses a lot of compression to bring up the background noise, such as steps in pubg, and brings down the volume of gunfire.
They are adding modules like this in the Magisk TG Channel.
Could someone be useful for us?
