Hi all.

Need to install magisk (and xposed) to use some xposed module,

tried these methods:



and finally


No one of them worked for me

CM14 x86 r1 installed in a ext4 partition.

The process went fine in all cases but after replacement of kernel and ramdisk.img CM does not boot at all.

Does anybody has a reliable and proved method to install Magisk please?


Thanks al lot

do you know how to pack/unpack ramdisk.img and kernel to boot.img ? use magisk manager to patch boot.img .
you need these binary.

I've done these tasks in Ubuntu, I use the tools mkbootimg and abootimg to do it.

No issues in these modifications I followed the stetps in https://forum.xda-developers.com/phoenix-os/phoenix-os-news-qa--development/magisk-15-3-t3735310, but android does not boot.

I tried with the original partition structure of CM14 so kernel ramdisk.img system directory and data directory in a ext4 partition (RW).

If I understand your method I need to modify the structure moving all the system content to the partition root, create a separate partition for data, move kernel and ramdisk to another partitioin (even ESP) then modify initrd to mount this new strucutre and I need to mount ir RO, true?

Thanks

I'd like to preserve the original partition structure, these modifications are a little messy for me, maybe It's possible to install Xposed without Magisk in a simpler way.

Any help?

Thanks again

if you just use xposed，needn't magisk at all. 
a simple way install xposed had many years，five years.
magisk only two years.

you can just install xposed x86_64 on 64bit cm14.1

xposed-v89-sdk25-x86.zip won't work with kernel version > 4.9.33 kernel，you need xposed-v89-sdk25-x86-me176c.zip

weird.

Suddently the Xposed Installer does not seem to have permission to install modules, start to download them but does not install them, says a message about lack of permissions, in the cache xposed download directory.

Does anybody face the same issue?

Thanks
