No, I'm saying that the flashing instructiosn state "working magisk is required", and it also says "There should be no TWRP" .
So I ask, how do I install magisk without TWRP.
Previous versions of this mod could be flashed in TWRP. Now, this mod can only be flashed in Magisk. So if you have working Magisk, flash away and enjoy!

Could someone advise me how to flash the rom via Magisk? I have Magisk installed, but cannot get the Manager.apk installed (whenever i go to a file manager, it just says the apk is empty and i cant install it!)

    About xXx NoLimits


    xXx NoLimits is a Magisk Module based ROM to enhance OnePlus 5/5T ROMs



    xXx NoLimits is not a full Rom anymore as it was available until version 12.1, but it's a Magisk Module which works exactly like all my previous Roms except that it does not include any OOS Rom components like Firmware, System, Vendor partitions, the Kernel or Magisk. Therefore the size went down to about 250MB+. In combination with the OOS stock Rom it still provides you with all options you might have used already with my previous Rom versions. (Old full Rom versions are end of life but can still be found in the 2nd post)

    As a Magisk Module running on top of the OOS stock rom, xXx NoLimits works 100% Systemless and provide you with plenty of options to be selectively installed with an aroma installer. This way you get most of the typical things you usually have to collect and install one by one all out of the box.



    Advantages over my previous Full Rom concept
    - Supports Stable & Open Beta OOS Roms on the OP5/5T
    - Works independent of the current OOS Rom version
    - Still working after OOS version upgrade
    - Support OOS Stock Rom Updates (You can use the update function in setting)
    - When a new OOS Rom Update is available, just run the OOS update, flash Magisk and xXx NoLimits again and everything is working like before.
    - Complete Systemless - Don't touches system or vendor partition at all
    - Debloating without touching the system partition.
    - You can change debloat options and simply flash xXx NoLimits again without the need to install the OOS stock rom again.
    - smaller and faster download



    Must Requirements
    - OOS Stock Rom with basic android setup in place
    - A working Magisk in place
    - Flashing in TWRP only! (no inside Magisk flash support)

    My focus with this Rom enhancement is to provide a smooth and snappy user experience with a decent battery life but also have some additional functions, tweaks and mods available which, for my taste, are missing in the stock OOS Rom.

    This is not a commercial project but my hobby. I developed this for my daily driver device and I decided to share it with you.

    xXx System Tweaks

    I added several tweaks on different levels to make the rom faster and snappy.
    These tweaks also improve multitasking and maintain the system to be constantly fast.
    6/8 GB RAM can (and should) hold a lot apps and services in the background. If you like apps to popup in virtual no time I recommend you to not close them when you change to another app but just put them to the background. Also, when speed is more important to you than window animations you can reduce the 3 Animation scale values in the developer options and select the AKT Burnout Kernel Profile.
    xXx Tweaks includes There are also several more features under the hood like:
    WiFi channel bonding for the 2.4GHz frequency
    ART Optimization
    Detaching of modded apps
    Disable Google Play Wakelocks for better battery life
    LMK Tweaks to use all RAM down to about 700MB left for best multitasking
    …and several more


    Debloating
    The rom provides you with the full range off not debloated at all (like OOS stock) to max debloated.
    I also included a flash option to select Extreme Debloating. This will debloat the rom down close to a core Android level. You need to enable this option to take advantage of it.
    The advantage of debloating is to gain even more speed and battery saving as less unused apps and services are running or even more free RAM to hold your favorite apps in background.
    The downside is that you might miss certain apps or functionality but definitely nothing what will make your android unstable. All Google Apps are all available via Play Store as well.

    Sound Enhancement
    xXx NoLimits includes ViPER4AndroidFX by default unless you disable it in the flash options. I also included my favorite sound profile which you will love for sure as well. Otherwise select the full profile package as well.


    Aroma based Installer
    A folder called xXx will be create on your sdcard which will store a prop file called xXx.NoLimits.aroma.profile which stores all your setting made during your last xXx NoLimits ROM flash. Next time you flash the same or new version of the Rom you will be presented with the same selections again.
    Another intelligence is that even I add new options, or reorder items, or even move items to other/new menus in future rom versions, it will still remember your previous selections.
    Or choose the Fastlane mode which skips all selection screens and flash the Rom based on either default settings or your personal settings from your last selection session.
    The first Aroma screen is already the Main Menu where you can select to walk through all available options.
    Aroma Installer Color Codes
    Blue = Indicates that this will open an additional screen with options
    Red = Gives you a heads up to think twice if you want to change the option
    Orange = Standard selection theme color

    Latest xXx NoLimits Download
    xXx NoLimits follow an unified "one installer fits all" concept.

    Latest xXx NoLimits version is still working on this device and can be downloaded here in my OP8pro thread

    Why is there no dedicated xXx NoLimits version for this device?

    xXx NoLimits follow an unified "one installer fits all" concept and even I currently own the OP8pro only, I still take care that NoLimits remains compatible with older OnePlus devices.

    Even though, this is a hobby project and I try to keep my time investments low. Therefore, my main efforts are focused on my daily driver which is the OP8pro.

    I still keep my xda thread open for older devices, so that users can still help each other in the respective NoLimits thread.

    Hey guys and gals,

    Instead of posting a new version of xXx NoLimits, I would like to inform you that I decided to stop the development of xXx NoLimits for all devices. This means that the current v3.3 is the last version which I posted here on xda.

    This decision was growing over quite some time now and was triggered by 2 main reasons.
    • Since about one year, I’m extremely busy with my job which essentially reduce my available free time for my family, friends, private duties and my hobby to the weekends. This is a non-commercial hobby project and my priorities are family and friends first. This situation might change and I start a new project, but for now that’s the way it is.
    • xXx NoLimits is my hobby and the main driver for continuous development was that it has been great fun for me to develop and maintain this project. But now it’s more of a duty than having fun.

    I started with xda in 2008 and posted my first project on xda in 2015. At this time most of the xda members was very educated, eager to help each other and most of them was hitting thanks when somebody helped them or a new version was made available.

    Today it feels like most people are less educated and at the same time complexity increased a lot. Now we have encryption, increased overall security measures, a vendor partition, a/b partitioning, a shared partition for kernel and recovery, Magisk roms etc. So the demand for education to successfully flash Rom’s and stuff increased a lot, but instead of educating first to a certain level, users right jump from nowhere into rooting. Instead of reading first and searching for a suitable solution, it’s obviously easier to post questions as issues arise. If somebody helped solving the issue, often not even a thanks is applied to that post.

    My special thanks to all loyal users and donators of xXx NoLimits and the ones who strongly help to support other users.

    Even though there will be no updates anymore, xXx NoLimits is a Magisk Module which supports Oreo and Pie Rom’s. So it could be further used like it is for quite some time.

    I will be still around here, but might be not as active as before.

    Cheers
    xXx

    @xXx, please consider adding the attached flashing guides to the OP which cover how to:

    1) Clean Flash Decrypted
    2) Dirty Flash Decrypted
    3) Clean Flash Encrypted
    4) Dirty Flash Encrypted

    Thanks to all who've contributed directly or indirectly to make these guides possible.
    I am hopeful these guides will reduce the amount of repetitive posts in this thread. ;) ;)
