[GUIDE] Nexus 6P Systemless Root + Xposed + Snapchat + Snapprefs (but no Android Pay)

Disclaimer: I am not a developer. I am posting this to help others who are trying to achieve the same results. I wasted a few hours of time trying various sequences of installation, different files, etc., until i finally got it right. Posting this up so it hopefully helps someone else!

Various problems I was running into:

• Camera would stop working (any app) and show only the bottom buttons, a black screen and a camera icon in the middle.


• Snapchat wouldn't let me login.


• Snapprefs wouldn't work.


• Android Pay wouldn't work. (Heads up: [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64367735&postcount=61"]you cannot have Xposed and Android Pay both working/URL]...it's not possible as of 2016/01/29. Once it is, and I test it myself, I'll update this thread.)

Here are the steps I took to get the phone Systemless rooted, get Xposed functioning, and then get SnapPrefs working (but no Android Pay).

Note: I am not providing step-by-step detailed instructions -- these are more of the general process. Make sure to read all of the information from the sources I reference.
Disclaimer: This worked for me, but I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone if you try to repeat these steps. Also, this probably voids your warranty.

Hat tip to the following threads for information on the various stages of the process, developers for their hard work, and everyone else who has put up any info about this subject!

• [GUIDE] Unlock/Root/Flash for Nexus 6P


• [Help] Unfortunately, Nfc service has stopped

Files Used:

• Nexus 6P Factory Image 6.0.1 (MMB29P) "angler-mmb29p-factory-25ed9560.tgz"


• TWRP Recovery for angler 2.8.7.0 "twrp-2.8.7.0-angler.img"


• Systemless SuperSU 2.67 "BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip"


• Xposed 3.0 Alpha "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk"


• Xposed Framework v79 SDK23 for ARM64 "xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip" (optional: grab "xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip" while you're there)


• Snapchat 9.21.1.0 "com.snapchat.android_9.21.1.0-771_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk"


• Snapprefs 1.6.5 (No need to download -- you can install via Xposed app)

Steps I took (NOTE: Do not allow TWRP to install root when it asks, "Install SuperSU now?" when exiting Recovery. Always click "Do not install."):

1. Optional: Flash the latest official system image from Google (MMB29P). I did because I had trouble with previous attempts and wanted to start fresh.


2. Unlock bootloader using Step 1 from this guide.


3. Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 from above link, then install using Step 2 from this guide.


4. Optional: Follow Steps 3 - 6 from this guide. You will now have Systemless Root.


5. Install a file browser (I prefer Astro) then browse-to and install the Snapchat 9.21.1.0 apk. Once it's done, open and log-in to Snapchat. Make sure you are fully logged-in and can view/send snaps.


6. Use the file browser again to browse-to and install Xposed 3.0 Alpha apk. Once it's done, open it, go to Settings and change Installation mode to "Recovery (flash zip automatically)".


7. Open SuperSU, go to Settings, and check the box next to "Enable su during boot" (if you don't do this, when you reboot, NFC service will enter a neverending crash loop).


8. Reboot into Recovery, install Xposed Framework v79 SDK23 for ARM64, reboot. (Remember: click "Do not install," when prompted to install SuperSU.)


9. Once rebooted, open Xposed search-for and download Snapprefs 1.6.5. After installed, enable the Snapprefs module in Xposed, then reboot.


10. Once rebooted, open Snapprefs and customize your settings. Set your save location, etc.


11. That's it. You should now have functioning root, functioning Xposed, logged-in Snapchat, and functioning Snapprefs.

I know some people are going to say, "It's pointless to do Systemless root since Xposed modifies /system and breaks Android Pay," but the reason I went this route is because I normal rooting kept breaking my Camera (in any app). Maybe in the future there might be some way to keep Android Pay functioning and run Xposed modules without modifying /system...who knows.

HCQS Guide for Improve Your Galaxy Note 5’s Battery Life

Given how battery life is high on everybody's priorities when choosing a smartphone, it's only natural that people reacted that way. Samsung Note 5 A smaller battery, all things being equal, obviously means shorter run time for the juicer.


1.
Reduce that brightness!
That Samsung Galaxy Note 5’s 5.7-inch QHD screen is big, beautiful and bright. The only problem is that it is also a resource hog, and those are exactly the reasons why. If you really want to expand battery life, you should watch out for that screen. One way to continue enjoying your phone and save energy is to reduce brightness. It’s easy to do. And unless you spend a lot of time outdoors, chances are you are overdoing the brightness, anyways.


2. note 5 ultra power saving mode
Use Ultra Power Saving Mode
Go to Settings > System > Power Saving > Ultra Power Saving Mode > On. You can enable or disable apps like: “Phone”, “Messages”, “Internet” or tap “+” to add more apps in the ultra power saving mode.


3. note 5 display brightness and screen timeout
Reduce Screen Brightness & Screen Timeout
Go to Settings > Quick Settings > Display > Brightness > uncheck the Auto and drag the slide to the left to adjust the screen brightness. Also, set the Screen Timeout under the tap of Display.


4. note 5 smart stay
Toggle off Smart Stay
Go to Settings > Display > Smart Stay and toggle it off.


5. note 5 motions and gestures
Turn off Motions and Gestures
Go to Settings > Motions and Gestures and disable the 4 options.


6. Super AMOLED: more blacks, less whites
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sports a gorgeous Super AMOLED screen. Colors are vibrant and blacks are super deep. This also means the screen uses much more energy to reproduce

lighter colors. In addition, picturing the color black will use no energy, as the pixel will technically be turned off (this is how AMOLED panels achieve such deep blacks).


7. note 5 abnormal battery usage
Check Abnormal Battery Usage
Go to Settings > Battery > Abnormal Battery Usage and monitor the battery draining apps, update, remove or reinstall them.


8. note 5 go grayscale
Go Grayscale
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Vision > and turn on Grayscale if you use the screen all the time, for example, reading.


9. disable wifi always scanning
Let Wi-Fi Scan While It is On
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > More > Always allow scanning > Scan only while Wi-Fi is on.


10. note 5 vibrations
Set Vibrations
Go to Settings > Sound & Notifications > Vibrations and set the vibration intensity and other options according to your needs.


11. note 5 auto scan
Switch off Auto Scan
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Universal Switch > Settings > and switch off Auto Scan.


12. note 5 gesture wake up
Shut down Gesture Wake Up
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > and shut down Gesture Wake Up.


13. note 5 interaction control
Disable Interaction Control
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > and disable Interaction Control.


14. note 5 dark theme
Pick up a Dark Theme
The Galaxy Note 5 comes with an AMOLED display screen, which power saving capability works perfectly in a black background as it needs more power to visualize the white screen.


15. Remove or disable apps you don’t use
How many of you are app hoarders? I know I am. It’s easy to download and keep all those awesome apps in your phone, which is great if you use them all, but that is hardly ever the case. Look through your applications and uninstall whatever you don’t need. If you can’t uninstall them (bloatware), just disable them from the app manager.

[Guide] DNSCrypt for AArch64

Requirements:

• Linux computer (x86_64)


• Android NDK (r10e is the newest so far, get the 64-bit one)


• libsodium (grab newest tar.gz, currently 1.0.8)


• dnscrypt-proxy (1.6.0 will not work, grab master zip)

Here's how I did it:
1. Install the NDK (chmod a+x android-ndk-r10e.bin , then ./android-ndk-r10e.bin)
2. Run

Code:

---

export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=<NDK Location>

---

3. Run

Code:

---

tar -xvf libsodium-<ver>

---

on libsodium archive, and unzip on dnscrypt-proxy master.
4. Enter the folder of libsodium, and replace the android-build.sh in dist-build with the one in the first zip below. Also included is a modified version of android-armv7-a.sh named android-armv8a.sh.
5. Do ./dist-build/android-armv8-a.sh. When the script finishes it will tell you where the output is.
6. (Optional) Run android-toolchain-armv8-a/aarch64-linux-android/bin/strip on the output .so (typically in libsodium-android-armv8-a/lib/libsodium.so)
7. Now we do

Code:

---

export SODIUM_ANDROID_PREFIX=<libsodium output>

---

8. Enter the folder of dnscrypt, and basically unzip the second zip below in dist-build. Again, do ./dist-build/android-armb8-a.sh.
9. Now you have a fresh compilation of AArch64 dnscrypt-proxy!
10. (Optional) Run android-toolchain-armv8-a/aarch64-linux-android/bin/strip on the output binaries (typically in dnscrypt-proxy-android-armv8-a/system/xbin/dnscrypt/, do both dnscrypt-proxy and hostip).

Credits:

Changes:
libsodium's android-build:

Code:

---

---

dnscrypt-proxy's android-build:

Code:

---

NDK_PLATFORM:-android-18  to  NDK_PLATFORM:-android-21

---

dnscrypt-proxy's android-armv8-a: Similar to libsodium's

[Guide] How to fix the Lock screen lag (dual-sim)

I often experienced a lag of 3-5 seconds after I click the power button or double tap the screen to wake the device. I noticed this to happen only when I was using both SIM cards, because the Carrier Labels are shown in the top left corner of the Lock screen. There isn't room for the whole Carrier text to be shown, so the labels start automatic scrolling. I believe that the start of this scrolling animation is responsible for the lag when waking up the device.

There is an Xposed module: Hide Carrier Label v2 that removes both of these labels from the Lock screen. The issue is fixed on my OPX after the activation of the module.
XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpos...el-v2-t3277435
Module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.f...decarrierlabel

Requirements:
- root
- Xposed Framework
