How can I root and keep S Health?

[FallenArchangel7]

I have the Exynos S7 Flat (G930FD) and I'm wanting to root it.
I've done this before about a year ago, but then I ended up getting a new device.

Since then, apparently SHealth now requires KNOX, which rooting will trip.
Is there any way I can bypass this? Perhaps a custom ROM or something? I know there used to be an Xposed module that restored private mode and something else, but I don't think it works anymore.


Basically I want to have root access as well as to be able to use S Health.

Remove s health and install like a normal app a older version.

Basically, what vladmir said. S-Health disables services if you're rooted starting from version 5, so any previous versions will not have this problem. Just Google S-health APK 4.9 or something like that, and install.

I'm running Sheath on multiple devices all with Rooted Custom Roms that are AOSP / LineageOS based....

The interesting thing is that Sheath won't run on a Stock Rooted TW Rom

It works just fine on Marshmallow, but if you upgrade to Nougat then you need a custom ROM to make it work.
Removing it and installing it as a non-system app doesn't seem to change anything, and installing an older version didn't help me either.
I've downgraded to 6.0.1 so it doesn't really affect me any more though.

It is very simple to make SHealth working.

First root your device with Magisk using this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Magisk is able to hide itself from a lot of apps, which won't run if your phone is rooted (i.e. Pokemon go, Mario run...)

If Magisk won't help you then:

1. install file explorer, it can be ES file explorer,
2. enable root explorer option (in ES file explorer)
3. go to /system directory
4. edit file build.prop
5. Look for ro.config.tima=1 and change the value to 0
6. reboot phone and now SHealth will work perfectly
