Verizon bloatware removal
Hi!
Thanks for your work.
By the way, did you remove all the verizon bloat?
I`m outside the US, so there is no need for me to use it.

SuperSU Update
I installed your rom (thanks!) and SuperSU is saying that I need to update it, but when I try it fails and keeps putting a notification in the notification area. Is there a way to update the binary so it stops doing this?

EDIT: nvm work firewall was the issue.

1.5
I've been reading and trying to follow.. I have a turbo, with 21.44.12
Am I correct to say, that if I follow the root process and just replace the img file with the 1.5 img. I'm good? Is there a walk through? I'd really like to get rid of all the bloatware.
Are there any quirks with the 1.5 version?

root and lolllipop
Sorry if this question is in wrong section. New to this forum/have not re visited in awhile. I have the new phone all set up with my new apps etc. Do I have to wipe to install root with adblock (1.52) or can I just download and go? Also, should I wait until I get OTA Lollipop 5.1 and then see where new updates are? Thanks. (more knowledgeable than most smartphone peops but definitely a green pea compared to you guys!)

The newest flash is great but you removed verizon visual voicemail and I cannot seem to get any version of this apps APK files to install since then. Even at the store.
Can you please let visual voicemail be an allowed app because this is not bloatware to some people, thanks!

Pandora Freezing
@computerfreek274 Thanks for all the hard work, loving my rooted Turbo!! I have always rooted my devices but I have never run adblock. I downloaded and flashed 1.5.2a without issue. Everything seems to be working OK except Pandora Radio. Whenever an Ad should be played it causes app to freeze and force close. Not sure if this is normal for Adblock build. Any help would be awesome!! Thanks in advance.

warning message
Hello, I ran the root as per mofo and root checker says I am rooted. I tried to flash the computerfreak 1.5.2a and recieve this error message:
'C:\Users\DAN\Downloads\mofo\mofo\windows\Computerf
AdBlock1.5.2a.img.7z' does not look like a valid ex
This is bad. Type YES to continue and risk it all:
I went back and looked at the download file name and it looks like I didn't inadvertantly change anything.
did I do something wrong?
Do I just type yes?
I didn't read about this error looking through the thread, unless I missed it.
HELP.

I thought my Moto Voice not working was an isolated issue so I was about to ask about a potential mistake on my end. I see I'm not the only one and has to do with V4A. I just wanted to share that I'm another one that doesn't have it working.

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).

Viper4android on Note 9 (snapdragon) without root?

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

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.

Have you checked this forum?

I hope one of our members referred the article to install V4a . I have installed it on my phone and it works like charm. If you have a proper DAC and a headphone it's a great choice.

I can only suggest to uninstall v4a and reinstall as mentioned in the installation procedure. It should work if you have done that properly.
