Hi Community,
This is literally my first experience with Magisk. I understand that it is a 'systemless' root? Correct? I'm an old Moto G3 junky.. which had an amazing dev community.. dozens and dozens of custom roms, tons of kernels, etc. With the G3 it was common to gain root simply by flashing an SU zip, or simply going under settings menu inside your custom rom and selecting 'root'.
So with this G6 Play.... Now that I have TWRP... if I chose to just simply flash an SU zip like SuperSU v2.8... or SuperUser v3.x... Would that work?
HEre's the deal....
I seem to be having some issues with maintaining root through magisk. As I do some in-depth tweaking and tuning of the system, I started getting hanging apps, forced closed, and then apps that require root begin reporting that the phone isn't rooted. Upon running root check software, 3 of the 4 I've downloaded state the same thing -- "this device is not rooted".
Don't ask me what exactly I did to cause these instances... Its too difficult to tell what single even triggers it. Being impatient, I tend to not do one thing at a time and see how it reacts. I'll generally make a ton of tweaks and tunes, and then upon reboot... i have no clue which one is causing the problem. I've had to re-root it approximately 6-8 times in the past 5 days or so. Usually after doing intensive kernel tweaking, sound mods, adding xposed modules, and magisk modules.
Lucky Patcher seems to trigger the event as well. Usually after doing a 'Patch to System/Android' mod, and/or linking it to xposed.
If I simply root it, and tread lightly, I have no issues. But that comes along with having 'no fun' either. haha.
Can someone educate me?
