I agree. For myself i'd Like to use Chainfires SuperSU for several reasons.

Has anyone a tip or guide how to change Root to Chainfires by a clean install?

Fullwipe - > Flash Rom -> Flash Gapps -> Flash Chainfire SuperSU -> Factory Reset -> Reboot probably will not work i guess. Or will it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
There have been a number of posts about this.

The way you are suggesting will not work.

First you have to uninstall Magisk. This you can do using the Magisk Manager App.

Then boot into TWRP and then flash Chainfire's Super Su.

After you have installed Super Su and rebooted you can either freeze Magisk Manager (a system app) using Titanium and if you wish then uninstall it using a PlayStore App called 'Root Essentials', or you can use that App to change it from a system app to a data app and then uninstall it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Florian03:
Thanks bro it's more clear ! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Elveneleven:
Thanks, you're right. Should have found out myself.

I switched root the way i mentioned on Temasek CM13 Rom which managed Root with the settings app. And you can't simply remove the settings app.

Removing the Magisk Framework with the Magisk Manager will simply unroot the Device, so that flashing the SuperSU. Zip will reroot completely new.

Thanks again for the tip.

crDroid 3.0 source is ready and roms will roll out pretty soon!

What's new:

* 7.1.2 upgrade (April security patched in.)

* Entirely refreshed projects - fixed minor glitches.

* Custom carrier label customizations.

* New Ambient display customizations using sensors. (This is hardware dependent; works on most devices)

* Improved weather placement in status bar.

* AOSP recents: Membar customizations.

* Improved PULSE in smart bar.

* Improved AdAway - now can be launched via crDroid Settings > Misc.

* Switched back to LOS stock root. To enable: Dev Options > Manage Root.

Hey guys

first of all thank you for this amazing ROM! My wife is super happy with it, almost like buying a new phone. Everything works great, battery is very long-lasting!

One question:

I enabled root in developer options but it does not seem to have any effect? When I launch magisk or adaway both claim that root is not present. What am I doing wrong?

I am on CrDroid v.2.5 with stock kernel from this link https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-stock-kernel-bootloaders-t2189063 and TWRP Recovery.

Thx in advance for any help!!

As appears from my post above yours, crDroid is about to release a significant update.

This update will replace Magisk Root by restoring Lineage Root (this was the root prior to crDroid 2.5).

Given the number of changes with this update, which is based on Android 7.1..2, the advice is make a clean install of it.

You may wish therefore to await the update and Lineage Root rather than tinkering with the existing Root.

If however you want 'fix' Root, ahead of the new release, I can advise you how to do it, but it may involve removing Magisk and replacing with it with Chainfire's SuperSu.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] edwardenglish:
Thank you for your quick reply. The root fix would be the extra goodie to have an ad-free phone :)

This might be a noob question for you but I dont follow custom rom topics and newest trends regularly altough I think I know the basics of it:

Clean flash would mean I would have to delete the whole system again and set up everything from the beginning (apps, settings, etc.) or is there an easy

and

clean way to upgrade to the new version you are about to release?

I am asking because with all reading, backup and precautions it took my Easter Sunday to upgrade my wife's phone to version 2.5. Just trying to figure out if it's worth for gaining root access as she doesn't need it despite for adblocking reasons.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
I am just a noob user too ?

There is a very good YouTube video on the best way to clean flash a ROM.

I will see if I can find it and post you the link.

This guy is excellent with his advice.

add

the only difference being that you should install both the ROM and Gapps sequentially and then flash them both together.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] edwardenglish:
Yes that's what I thought, I would have to delete all settings and stuff again "only" to get root.

Thank you for your advice anyways but I guess I will just leave it at that and update / upgrade next time when there are more errors but the rom at its current state is just too perfect to start fiddling around :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
[MENTION=4950400]edwardenglish[/MENTION]

I have caused some confusion, for which I apologise.

That video was to make a clean install. You do not need to do that to change the root.

To change the root, you simply need to use the magisk manager (found in your apps drawer) to uninstall masgisk root and then boot into TWRP and flash SuperSu 2.79.

But as you can create a TWRP back-up without root, I would just wait a couple of days for the new update and clean install it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tongucum:
hello i havent sd card, so can i flashed from s3 custom rom to this rom?

no root no recovery yet. everthing orginal

how can i install the rom? then wipes cache-dalvic cache,zip files will delete(rom and gapps). how can i install rom and gapps then.

please help me. it will be first installing for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] edwardenglish:
no harm done :)

So I get you right, to get root access I should only uninstall Magisk and then flash SuperSU 2.79 zip with TWRP and everything is fine? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Yes., using the magisk manager to do so.

edit: once you have set up SuperSu and rebooted, you can then search this forum for posts on how to remove magisk manager, which is a system app.

Hi All!

My wife (using CM13) ist complaining her phone (9100) is too slow.

Is it meaningful to go to 7.1.1 using crDroid?

Kind regards!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kippy51:
This thread is for S3. For GT-I9100 you can go here
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
I would wait two or three days until 7.1..2 based crDroid is uploaded and i9300 users have installed and commented about it.

According to the Google plus webpage for crDroid the new Rom has already been uploaded for the LG G3 and Moto G.

If crDroid follows the normal pattern, the version for the S3 should be available on Thursday or Friday.

If the new version (crDroid 3.0) performs as well as the current version, it will be a major improvement on the CM13 on your wife's S3.

Memory Management and Battery life are both far better.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] UweRammelt:
Thanks - very helpful!

@ Kippy51: sorry, it's a 9300 = S3 ;)

Ohh - I just found 3.0 for my LG G3 :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] edwardenglish:
Maybe a short sum up for all of you who had issues with Magisk (battery drain, no root available) and want to delete it:

Download Magisk Uninstaller App from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Download latest superSU from here http://www.supersu.com/download

Place both zip files on sd-card

Flash Magisk uninstaller first

After that flash superSU zip and reboot device (no worries, I had several reboots during 1st boot - looked like boot loop but it managed to get to system by itself!

Install the App "Root Essentials", after installation it should ask for root privileges and superSU should be able to grant them, so you will see if it worked

in "Root Essentials" go to Memory->Apps, deactivate Magisk-Manager, Move it to /data and then Uninstall it. After that it disappeared even after reboot.

Hope this will work for you guys!!!, because it fixed my root problem.

btw.: dont forget to got to dev options in ROM settings and enable root first of all!! :)

I used TWRP recovery and unfortunately I swiped too fast and therefore installed the (stupid) TWRP-App which I can't find a way of deleting.---

EDIT:

After one night (8 hours) in flight mode I detected about 9% battery drop (@crdroid 2.5, stock kernel, SuerSU installed, balanced battery profile)

Checking wakelocks I coudn't find any "bad" app waking up the CPU too often, in fact I hardly installed any app despite whatsapp, signal, threema and time tree. Do you have similar results or is 1% per hour OK for i9300?

When I compare it to my Xperia Z1 compact (Android 4.4.4.) it is quite much, it looses only 1-2% per night.

Cheers :)

One App which is very useful is the Open Gapps app.

See my answer to your previous post on this question.

To which I add:

1. Always make a back-up in TWRP before flashing any Zip which makes changes to the system.

2. In more than three years, I have never experienced any issues flashing Boeffla. Kernel. on CM or Lineage based Roms. It will not delete or destroy your crDroid installation and it will not delete data or personal files or settings.

Does 'clean install' equals to

- Boot into Recovery

- Wipe system,data and cache

- Flash crDroid zip

- Flash GApps zip (is that step optional?)

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (is a 'data wipe' an another name for 'factory reset' or should I 'data wipe' and after that 'factory reset' to properly install this crDroid? I'm on TWRP)

- Reboot

?

If yes then is there a way to migrate my data and automatically install user apps after 'clean install' (I'm F-Droid user, no GApps, or GooglePlayStore/Services)?

PS

Is GApps a hard requirement? Currently I'm using crDroid 2.5 without GApps and everything works for me (only OpenWeatherProvider is missing).
