Has anyone been able to either get Xposed Modules working on 925t, or perhaps get a custom recovery installed?
Thanks.

This post is your best friend. We're all in the same boat here and from the looks of it, I think I'm going to be sending my S6E back .... Save that thread that I've linked you and you'll see that it doesn't look like we'll be getting an update for Xposed to work on Samsung TW on LP for quite some time....
Sucks I know.....but I have a very particular set up where I MUST have Xposed working in order for me to use my phone and be able to sleep LOL....
Burn Lollipop, BURN.... Gosh....what a POS....complete Rubbish....
I wish we had the ability to go back to 4.4 Kitkat on our S6's.....
Agian, save that post as it's the main source for any info on any updates on this issue. :good:
Is there a working xposed configuration for our device?

What @Saafir said and we are Arm64.
I didn't know we needed some sort of unofficial version of Xposed for the Sprint S6. A couple of weeks ago all I had to do was download the latest Xposed and flash it with TWRP and it worked like a charm.
EDIT: lol gosh, nevermind. I chose the latest "wanam" version, that's why it worked.
Thanks for the inout from everyone!
Now, what modules are you all running? I have taken youtube adaway. Nit sure what else to get. Lookibg for battery life and UI mods.
Also, wheb i try to reboot via framework, it gives me a busybox error. Should I try to install busybox from the app store and then try?

If you look in the thread I linked below you will find the answers you seek. They are near the end. Basically you can flash twrp the magisk v12 pixel, and you will have root and pass the Safety net. I did it and its been working great for me. Hope this helps.
Edit:
You will need to flash a Kernel as well.

Specifically post #413 on page 42. I installed too. Very nice. Now I want to explore what more I can do. Can we get Xposed on Pixel? Want to figure out how to do ad blocking without altering system.

Well, no Xposed for Nougat, Magisk or not. For Adaway, enable systemless hosts in Magisk Manger, then install/enable Adaway.

Non on 7.1. You need root to use it. 8.0 will allow for non root.

That sucks
on 8.0 also it has to be a stable build (not beta) and then also it's not 100% guaranteed it will work, depends on the rom.

Thats crazyy i figure op5 would be more compatible since its pretty stock
Some misinformation in this thread.
Stock OxygenOS (whether with or without root) has issues with MOST themes for Substratum. A couple that are actually built for OxygenOS will work with minor glitches.
Substratum does NOT NEED ROOT to work, even on 7.1. However, the firmware has to be build with some specific features to accomplish this. Most OMS firmwares (AOSP) do not need root to be themed. This is why Oreo stock firmware works without root because it has these prerequisites.
I would wait before trying to theme your stock OP5T until either a themed builds one specifically for it (would still need root), or until a good AOSP firmware comes out that you can theme without root.

yeah , i'd also recommend waiting at this point. OxygenOS is really terrible when it comes to themeing/skinning (it's never been really standard when it comes to that), Oreo should change this quite a bit by bringing OMS to the table for all roms finally (tho i'm sure some manufacturers will start to remove it from their android port *sigh*).
Once Oreo is well deployed on most big brand names, you'll see substratum take off even more, i'm sure (in fact i'm assuming once OMS is everywhere, there will be some competition too, but we'll see about that...).
Hey guys,
I currently have a OP5 and I always root my devices to get flawless Adblocking, theming, and google feed on OP launcher. Are these already possible on the OP7T or do we have to wait for an official TWRP? if It's possible is it safe to do?
Yeah, it is safe to do. I just got mine yesterday and fully rooted it. The best and safest tutorial is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81277507&postcount=613
If you just use any patched boot.img you'll find, it could be the wrong version (there is Europe, Global and Indian) or maybe a wrong OOS version. The safest way is to extract the boot.img yourself and let Magisk Manager patch it. These steps are very easy and took me not even 10 minutes. Also you can keep root if you're doing an OTA update. Just be sure to not reboot once it prompts you and to tell the Magisk Manager to install Magisk on the inactive slot.
Blokada does great adblocking without the need of root, as for theming and what not, I suppose you would wanna root, which isnt too hard to do

I shifted from OP5T to OP7T 4 months back, the rooting seems little different here coz of no TWRP. But there are no issues. Everything works flawless and easy like OP5.
Dont buy it you will regret your decision if you are custom rom lover
For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought

To add more information to my previous post,
Adways works, adblock through xposed also works, google feed through magisk works, through xposed also works. Substratum theming also works flawless.
Few Screenshots are attached.
Guys, on a side note on rooting. Are you all able to use your banking sites? I'm told they don't work well on a rooted phone
Thanks

Thank you Aswin and thank you all.
So to sum it up, everything I can do with my OP5, already works perfectly as long as I am good with tinkering my device and follow good tutorials. Except for installing ROMs which still requires TWRP to be fully compatible.
I guess I'll get it as soon as the prices go down in my country.

You can install ROMS now too, but not simple to switch between ROMs often. Since data including internal is completely erased everytime u switch ROM

That is not device specific. So far no issues with banking apps.
But according Root developer, Google is implementing new changes where it maybe possible for issues with few banking apps, some can be still spoofed to work properly. But that is not device specific.

I too have a 7T using it in the states on Verizon. I know its been asked a million times. What would I gain from being rooted?

If you don't know, then rooting probably isn't for you. Now a days, root is becoming less and less required for certain tasks and used to be required in the days of old. When you start finding things that you're wanting to fix on the device (For me it was a proper AOD) then root might start to come up for you. But you're right, if you don't have a good reason for root, I wouldn't. I would at least leave the door open should you need/want it later.

"Back in the day" (PDA phones), I use to flash everything that came along. Same with my first few android phones, but now, I don't even bother. Stock roms are "good enough", and my phone is just a work tool. End of the day, I'm too tired to bother using it unless someone actually calls me LOL.
I'm not a total novice to rooting. When I had my Samsung Note 4, probably the last Samsung able to root easily, I was rooted. After the Note 4 I got the Note 5, then Pixel 2xl. I never felt the need with the 2xl, so I guess with the 7T I may stay stock. It's quite a phone. I do miss the pictures from the Pixel but besides that nothing else. I'm entertaining looking at the 8 pro.

also on Verizon, received my 7T, from OnePlus, on Friday, activated/unlocked/rooted on Saturday.
You gain Titanium, AdAway, AFWall+, All-in-one Toolbox, and Root Browser to access system files.

Whoa, pretty fast.
Now that you have root, what are "things" that your doing to make the phone "better. I'm purely into performance. What will it do for me?

I'm satisfied with Oxygen OS and not really interested in ROMs for now. My concern is with pre-installed apps, ad blocking, apps “phoning home”, and what's running in the background.
Titanium to freeze 7 Google apps & two others that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled, as well as 3 apps that I very rarely use but don't want to download/reinstall/set up when I do need them. In addition to sending scheduled backups to One Drive
AdAway needs root to replace the hosts file and blocks apps & browsers from reaching pretty much every ad server
App Ops to prevent apps from running at startup
Servicely to disable unnecessary background services
AFWall as a firewall to prevent apps from accessing the internet
Root Browser simply because I dislike having anything on my phone that I can't access
Since you're “purely into performance” you'll need to root in order to install tweakable custom kernels when they become available
