Was rooted and went back to stock. Now that xposed is working I might root again. Can you give me an idea of what I need to do to have pokemon go Snapchat and Netflix working with root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dynospectrum:
No. Wait for official Xposed ;]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] santiago013:
Others

Swipeback2 but you need to configure for some apps like camera and gallery, DS battery saver

Most important, if you clean cache should uninstall xposed if not you stay on Samsung logo ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
i have it working for me snapchat :) i dont use netflix or pokemon go
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Great find!!!

Question thought before I move forward with installation. Why is it working with some devices and soft bricking others? I'm on T-Mobile and have soft bricked my phone during the rooting process twice because of restoring old data and do not want to start all over from scratch. Just curious as to why it's not working for some??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Maybe you are on old update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
what type of old update? I'm rooted using the latest method and have a snapdragon t-mobile variant. I just read through this thread and see that some people are soft bricked (sprint and AT&T vaients) trying to install this and was just wondering why.

I just don't want to have to start over again!!! Lol

Fyi I am rooted, using substratum swift black, status bar mods and various overlays with no problem.

Thanks for your help and answers!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jazz995756:
Although the phones are basically the same hardware wise it's not always the case software wise. Carriers often change part of the software to tailor to their network or the type of "experience" they want their customers to have. So flashing something that alters system files might cause a problem like in the case of sprint and AT&T users because the subtle differences in their OS just doesn't work with whatever they decided to flash even if the internals are all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
This is what I'm on
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
I have the AT&T S8+. I used the U1 Firmware [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] posted. I installed this just fine. I'm only really using it for Amplify at the moment though. I tried Adblocker Reborn, but it caused too many app crashes since apparently whitelisting is not functional on N. I also tried Boot Manager (twice), it got me stuck at the boot screen so I booted safe mode and uninstalled it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
If you are on T-mobile latest Firmware update you might want to be careful, someone said yesterday that it soft brick their phone on the latest.

I was on AT&T latest Firmware "AQGL" and i got Soft Brick after installing the Xposed zip with FlashFire.

I had to start all over and reroot. It worked fine for me on older AT&T Firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Romans8vs1:
Thanks for your post, I was wondering why I was getting all the app crashes. I removed Adblocker Reborn and all is well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Yep seemed to soft brick my QGL sprint S8+ too. Just sitting at the boot splash screen. I wonder if there is a way to remove the framework w/o actually having to redo the entire phone.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I tried everything yesterday and couldn't get back.

I had to Flash all 4 sampwnd firmware files in Prince Comsy Odin, select auto-reboot, re-partition, f reset time, nand erase all, and bootloader update.

That was the only thing that fixed it for me and then i did the whole root process back over, which took me about 10 minutes.

You can experiment and post if you find an easier way out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
I'm going to try a few things myself right now. I also see QH3 is out now so I may toy w/ that also.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Well that solves that will stay away from this until it is stable or officially released!

Nice work though and thanks for everyones feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Yep I knew better but I saw a few modules I really wanted back so you pay to play sometimes. I'm trying a few things still to see if i can get this back w/o starting over. As stupid as I am since I'm starting over anyway more than likely is to see if QH3 also has the same end result.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
What's QH3?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Sorry newest Sprint FW. Just came out recently. G955U1UEU1AQH3/G955U1OYM1AQH3/G955U1UEU1AQH3/G955U1UEU1AQH3

As I said earlier, boot safe mode and uninstall.

Turn on and use safe mode

Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily uninstall apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.

Turn the device off.

Press and hold the Power key past the model name screen.

When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.

Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.

Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.

Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.

Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.

Turn off safe mode

Press and hold the Power key.

Tap Restart.

Thanks for the information I'll put this on the op tonight when I get home this good for people so they won't lose root (:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
It's also useful if you happen to install a bad module!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
This might work for a bad module but i'm not sure for the Xposed zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
It wasn't the apk that caused the issue it was the framework installed as a zip. How would you remove the framework from safe mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
Notify clean and Xposed torch both work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
Gotcha, good point. Are you able to boot safe mode? If so I wonder if a zip could be constructed that could be flashed to undo it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Wouldn't be able to get to Flashfire to flash the undo zip . Even if you get to safe mode Flashfire wouldn't have root to do so .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
It was just easier to redo everything. I miss TWRP where I had no apprehension doing things like this. It was a 2 minute restore if I borked something.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Dude, I feel you! I'm so leary to install things because I don't want to get soft bricked! It's happened a few times before I was fully set up and now that I'm running 100% I do t want to break anything. Missing TWRP right now also!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
Sorry guys, I was hoping it could bail you out. It does work great for bad modules at least. Given time things will get better. We've come a long way pretty quick considering we just got root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
No worries, not complaining in the least. I knew what I was getting myself into by experimenting.

After I uninstalled and rebooted, all has been well including gravity box.

Has anyone tried "Xposed GEL Settings" on Verizon S8+? Or, is there another xposed mod to increase the grid size?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cameljockey1:
The system failure is due to trying to install magisk. I did that and I lost root. Op should take it done I don't think it works. But Xposed does.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Xposed does NOT work on AQGL. You will soft brick your device and have to start over.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cameljockey1:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pimpmaneaton:
Anyone had a chance to try this out on the newest Verizon AQGL firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
My understanding as of current means a boot loop on the latest Verizon firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
If he actually read the post he'd know this too. Hell even just searching AQGL would net him results. This guy isn't new either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
Yeah I definitely understand this. But I understand wanting to make sure before a boot loop since we don't have a custom recovery solution just yet, and since Rovo said we shouldn't be trying this, there isn't a whole lot of us playing around with it, actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
It has been confirmed to boot loop both ATT and Sprint on AQGL, there is no reason to think T-mobile will be any different.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
I also understand that, but there are software differences between all variants. I would agree the chance of a boot loop is very high, but it is also still possible it could work. (I'm reserving patience to update as I'm actually enjoying Xposed right now and setting up without recovery is a hassle when you're at a busy state in life)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
This is why you make a backup before you move forward. It sucks if someone bootloops and has to start from scratch. Update at home and reroot and restore if need be. I've completed both a few times in about 20 minutes from scratch to restored nandroid. It stinks to have to do all this but we're competing against a multibillion dollar company.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
What exactly does nandroid restore?

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
Personally I am not familiar with nandroid restores without TWRP/CWM. No reason for me to test something during a busy point of my life where I actively need my phone in working condition. (Root and Xposed still work just fine normal day to day use so far)

Also for new updates, I'd prefer to start clean anyways. (Which understandably requires considerate time based upon one's setup)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I backup with Samsung Cloud, which restores most of my settings, backup with Nova Launcher which restores my home screens setup, backup with Titanium which restores my apps and data.

I then move a copy of Nova Launcher (teslacoilsw) backup folder and a copy of Titanium Backup folder to my External SD so when i restore i just copy them back over to my internal SD incase it's wiped.

I have about 5 different Homescreen setups which i can switch around as i like with Nova Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] WhyYou:
Can I have xposed on my exynos s8+ ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Have not tried because I don't have That version of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
Flashfire can backup and restore your phone to how you currently have it set up. I have a backup with Xposed and one without. Keep them on an SD card in case your phone gets wiped. I backup boot, system and data. Installing a module that doesn't play well can cause us to have to start from scratch. If you can get into stock recovery and factory reset we retain root with this rooting process. Download flashfire and restore in a few minutes. I've had to do this a few times trying different modules.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] WhyYou:
So if anything goes wrong and I have FlashFire backup already, I factory reset the phone > root the phone > install FlashFire > restore backup ? Am I getting it right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
Correct. You don't have to reroot if you can get into recovery it will survive a factory reset. If not Odin-root-restore if you get caught in a bootloop and can't get to recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Interesting, seems i'm not using Flashfire to it's full potential.

So by backing up boot, system and data, this give you back your settings, home screens and apps with their data ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
Yes. It restores your phone to how you had it at the time of the backup. Before I try anything not confirmed working I always take the 10 minutes or so to get a new backup. It has saved me a few times. Installing greenify put me into a bootloop a few days ago for example.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Thanks man, that's good stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
I'll have to backup using flashfire and test. The problem is that the xposed framework is soft bricking the QGL so doing a factory reset doesn't help I don't think as i don't think it removes the framework. Still easier than redoing everything.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Just be sure to not keep the backup where it creates it, which is on the internal ssd which will be cleared in the event you have to wipe. Keeping it on a sd card is good or if you don't have one copy it to your computer then copy back if needed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Of course.

What kind of backup do you do in flash fire?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sabresfan:
NeoPowerMenu is working great to replace Sammy's reboot menu.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheRealKingSen:
Is there a module that will allow Samsung pay to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
No. That's Magisk and it requires boot image modifications. (We have a locked bootloader)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Depends on what I am doing.

I always have a very recent backup of "everything" taken by checking all the boxes in the flashfire backup screen. When I restore those I restore everything but my bootloader. That way I don't have to mess around with CSC flashing in Odin

Question new to everything Xposed and I was really happy to see a new version worked on the US S8+ thank you. Pokemon Go is not unable to authenticate and I have No Device Check just like it was stated in a previous post. Any way to fix this problem?

Did some research I think I found out why. The basic integrity is what the app is looking for and I read that we can't have that with xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xDMONEYx:
XposedAlwaysCorrect works, for those who use Gboard and hate how there is no word suggestion bar in places like Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
So I see someone has it working w/ QH3, has anyone successfully got it working w/ QGL? I know a few of us have tried w/ no success. If not I wonder what it is about QGL causing issues w/ the framework?

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xDMONEYx:
The OP says that AppOpsXposed works, but I can't seem to get it working. If anyone has this working, can you let me know what you had to do in order to get it working? The app force closes immediately upon opening for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I switched from QGL to QH3 which to me have more features including multiuser and Xposed is working great.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Force closing for me too on QH3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
What carrier? Did you try xposed on QGL and have it fail first? I'd hate to go through all this, switch to QH3 (I couldn't ever get it to work for me actually) and then have to start over.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
Great advice! And just to clarify/add to, you CAN specify where Flashfire saves the backup file so there's no having to move it upon completion.

So in summary:

- Open Flashfire

- Click '+'

- Choose 'Backup'

- Choose 'Full' (or just select the components that you want to backup)

- In the same screen (where you check the components to backup), click on 'Location' and then choose SD Card. You can also rename the backup file here as well.

- Now hit the checkmark to exit

- Now back on the main screen, you can either select FLASH to start the backup process or add a WIPE to the steps. I like to wipe the cache so the backup file is a little smaller. Just make sure to move the WIPE step above the Backup step. Then flash away!

The entire process takes 2-3 minutes so there's no excuse to not do a backup once in a while. Oh, when you select the location for the backup file, you are not given the opportunity to choose where on the SD card you'd like it filed. Flashfire will create its own folder, 'Flashfire', then an additional folder inside of that one, 'Backups' & lastly a folder inside of that one with the file name of the backup.

Hope that helps!!!

I'm on AT&T, i think i read where someone on sprint tried too and also soft brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Yeah that was me which Is why I ask. Did you ever soft brick yours w/ QGL or did you not try it before going to GH3? I'd hate to find that it still soft bricks on QH3.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I soft brick when i tried Xposed with QGL but it's all good with QH3 .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Mostly correct, just a few notes:

1) I select EVERYTHING for backups that i want to be able to roll back from upgrades or something on (where firmware/radio might change). The only thing I do not backup (which flashfire wont do by default) is bootloader, as breaking that == permabricked phone AND i dont want to be updating my bootloader anyway :)

2) You don't have to wipe cache for flashfire to do the right thing. If you look at the restore files created the cache partition one is like 16kb i think in all cases (i havent checked every time). Regardless, my thought is that if you are doing a restore of perfectly good phone state then why not restore the cache if possible? It will mean no big startup wait the first time you boot :)

/ first let me put on my flame retardant clothes.

does anyone have any idea how to export the opera browser favorites to pie.

I'm running opera 8.65 mobile (2779). For some reason my pie favorites synced with my pc and they all got screwed up. Some are still there but most are gone. However, my opera favorites are perfect.

thanks in advance and please go easy.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
I'll take everyones silence as either a no or dont feel like wasting time. Either way, it was worth a shot. Sorry for the new thread. I was just out of options.:confused:

EDIT:

I guess its down to manually writing them down and putting them in pie. Thanks anyway.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
damn, I was hoping for one. Thanks anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] skiwebster:
the long way would be to manually add one by copy and paste from opera to pie.

the medium way would be to use opera link to sync opera 8.65 with opera on your desktop. then using ie on your desktop, import your favorites from opera. then lastly, using active sync, sync your favorites on your pc with pie.

not as tedious as the first way, but it gets the job done
