I know this is early, but OP3 users--systemless root...

I plan on rooting pretty much immediately, and was hoping to use FreedomOS (not sure it will be supported early, but I'll switch when it is). Either way, how difficult is it to set up systemless root and Xposed? I used to play PokemonGO on my LG V10, but I won't sacrifice root for one game that I use for walks/fun. Same applies here, but I heard systemless solves this issue. Any insight if this will be supported?

It's fairly easy. Unlock your bootloader as soon as you get your phone so you don't need to wipe, and setup your pc with fastboot/adb. Then once twrp is released it's just a matter of flashing that and using it to flash the zip files you need. You can find a lot of guides around XDA for how to setup ADB/fastboot and bypass root checks with xposed.

I assume it's a per app basis on going systemless/bypassing root checks, or is it all handled in Xposed now? Just curious, and thanks for the answer!

You have to hide su per app with suhide for pokemon go. For safetynet apps you need a custom kernel and rootswitch to pass.

Anyone do any tests to get PGo working with root? I have SuperSU installed systemless, but when I tried to install SUhide or whatever it's called, my phone wouldn't get past the boot logo so I had to uninstall it.
