Hi, I always ran xposed since getting my op3. But since taking the plunge for 7.1 are there any apps that has these features without xposed.

1- download progress bar,
2- hide ongoing notifications in status bar

Can you elaborate a bit? I may be able to help you. What were you trying to do that needed root?

Some Tasker tasks require root if you need to run them through Secure Settings, which is kind of a companion app for Tasker for changing certain system settings. You may be able to set up a profile without requiring root for what you want to do.

I was attempting to setup a scheduled airplane mode. Which needed secure settings, but it's was saying I needed root( which I already have).

Do you have systemless root installed? Secure settings doesn't work with systemless root. If you have systemless root, then by doing this in terminal will make secure settings recognize root:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
touch /system/bin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot

If you don't have systemless root then I would test remounting system partition with read/write permissions and then re-setting Secure settings again.

Edit: you can use any terminal application from Google Play

Thanx I'll try this a lil later. To be honest I have no idea if I have systemless root or not I just flash the superuser 2.78 s5 whether it's systemless or not I don't know.

Hey, check out phhSuperuser, and Magisk. It's easy systemless root, no ADB commands or anything :)

I took a look at that thread and its out of my league for now. #babysteps ;) I just got this, my 1st android device in October.
I'm sorry, just saw this post. Magisk is very easy to install. The thread has a lot of information, but it's as easy as downloading the zip for Magisk and phh superuser, flashing them, and installing the apk files. Then you open the Magisk manager app and follow the steps in the thread! :) I installed it on my first try, and I agree, it seems complicated...But it works great and isn't hard at all to install if you've flashed things like SuperSU before! It's basically the same process :) when I'm not on mobile, I may reply with a short guide that follows the steps I took to get it working.

1. There's a module called Flat Style Bar Indicators that might help with download progress but it shows just the percentage not a bar.

2. For notifications there's a great module called Notify Clean, it can do what you wan an much much more.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.defim.apk.notifyclean

I also advise to use a module called UnbelovedHosts, it's an ad blocker for xposed that's much more effective than any other because it just loads it on boot and doesn't need to run in the background.

Thanks for the suggestions. But I was looking for regular apps not xposed since xposed doesn't work for nougat just yet.
