[Supported Devices] Archtects:
I've wanted to test out remix OS for a while. However I use xposed and su regular. It's all about customization for me. However once I installed remix I found it wasn't rooted. I searched around for a solution but people kept saying it was rooted? So after I broke my n9 trying to flash standard root, a quick Google revealed that for pc versions it involves Linux commands to mount and edit the system files. So I'm far to lazy for that. But I thought ill make this little guide on how to get root and xposed working systemlessly on your remixed N9

Although this is mainly for N9 there should be no reason why you can't follow this guide for your pad. HAVING SAID THAT: "Although this may have worked for me or others I am not responsible for the death, destruction, boot loop or spontaneous combustion (or anything else) of your device. Follow this at your own risk"

Things your going to need! (For root)

Remix Os Installed

Twrp Installed (newest)

systemless Root zip

I'm not going to explain how to install remix OS as that's easy enough and it's available on their website here same with TWRP Guide to install that is here

Grab Systemless root.

boot into recovery

Flashy flash flash

Wipe for good luck

reboot system!

TA-DAA (hopefully)

That's that bit done :silly: Now if that's all you want then awesome! Maybe give me a thanks :good:

But before we continue if your like me and not a fan of that standard Launcher 3. Now we have root let's get rid of it.

Run over to Google play and install a Terminal Emulator. I use Minimal terminal, cos it's pretty

Once Installed, Run over and Grab the launcher of your choice.

Once Installed click open. Then may say something about not supporting it.

Now stick your black hoodie on, Talk to an imaginary friend :laugh: and jump on your terminal and type the following commands

Su
pm disable com.android.launcher3

click the home button and nova launcher (in my case) should be sitting there ready for you.

But I like my Icons! I WANT MORE CUSTOMISATION, at the moment I have a way of doing it. ONLY ITS VERY TEDIOUS.

Things your going to need

icon pack of your choice

root browser of your choice

apk editor

Go into your icon pack folder should be I'm data/app/com.iconpack/

open the apk, dive into the apk and find the icons. it's normally in the .apk/res/drawable-nodpi-v4

extract all or just the icons you want

once you've done so jump into apk editor and go through to the app you want to edit in apk editor app

search for the icons. normally in the res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4 or similar folder there might be a few icons to change in the separate drawable-hdpi folders.

click the edit button to the right of the icon, add your icon.

click the save at the bottom

uninstall the app and reinstall through the apk editor.

job done

I'm fully aware this is a lot of faf. But it's only way I can do it at the moment.

Regardless let us move forward!

Things your going to need! (Xposed)

Magisk Manager

Material Xposed apk

Download Material Xposed apk First (link above). And install first!

Download the Magisk manager from this forum here and follow the simple instructions to install

Install Xposed in Magisk Manager's Download section the 23SDK Is the one you want to download.

it should install the zip and want to reboot your device.

you should be done now. You should have a rooted and xposed Remix OS

I hope I helped someone, I couldn't find anything like this that helped me. I just saw alot of unanswered questions. So far I'm liking remix os alot. It's smooth and quick. Once I grab a Bluetooth keyboard I imagine it be even better. Whether or not it be a replacement for a laptop I don't know. However if all your really do on a laptop is write documents, play small games and browse Internet. Then it's pretty much perfect. I found that (although a little sketchy) I managed to do web development on this. So it's a very versatile OS.

If I helped give us a thanks. If I'm an idiot and this is somewhere else, then start throwing things.

:good::silly:

Help! I've soft bricked my Device

Don't panic! Relax. Grab a tea or whatever you drink. And just go back to the remix os how to flash link and do that. It should sort it out for you.
