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.

Which Xposed should I use for the One plus 3?

I am already unlocked and rooted. Anyone get Xposed on their One plus 3 yet? If so which variant please. Thanks
WIthout having the oneplus three yet, I'd say you have to use the ARM 64bit version.
I'd like to know more about that, too. How about XPrivacy? I've got the phone at the Berlin store yesterday, and finally want to start setting it up to use (but not without XPrivacy)...
I just want to get Xposed successfully installed. Also wondering if we can use systemless xposed
If you are using systemless root with supersu, then most likely, yes.
I see no reason why it wouldn't work. It's pretty close to stock android. Just install xposed and xprivacy and so on and it should work. Just try it out and report back.
Have you used android pay with systemless root yet? Just curious what hurdles I'll have to jump through to get AP to work w/ root.
How about... None of them

I used the arm64 build by wanam and it worked fine.

xposed?

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?

Stock Rom does... I know you are probably looking for custom ROMS though...but couldn't resist.

Yes, I'm looking for custom ROMs. Thanks for clarifying. I'm on pixel dust right now and WiFi calling doesn't work.
Deleted, didn't realize I was in the xl forum.
Anyone?

Honestly you should run stock flash magisk and a kernel. I'm also using substratum. You would never know I am running stock. I have a custom lockscreen and center clock root etc...

Thanks I'll look into that. It's been almost 2 years since I had an unlocked phone that I don't know much about magisk.
Magisk is great it's like super user but it hides root automatically from things like Android pay and other apps that block root. Flashing a kernel is important when you flash magisk because most contain the patch to hide the fact that your bootloader is unlocked. Without that you can't hide root.

I'm going to buy OP7T, have some questions

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

Custom rom for Google Pay

Hi guys
I'm thinking of going with a custom rom since Samsung have stopped security updates for the s9.
I'm not interested in root.
1) which rom will give the most stable performance with Google pay and banking apps? Back when I used to tinker with roms/root many years ago, it was a cat and mouse game between safety net and magisk. What is the current picture? How often should I expect google pay to break?
2) which rom gives the best battery performance?
3) which roms have automatic updates?
Thanks in advance
Mubs.

Thanks buddy. Will do.
How easy is the process to revert back to stock rom if I'm having issues with banking apps?
How reliable is Google pay with these custom roms?
I don't have the appetite to continually have to make adjustments to my phone to make gpay work.
I would prefer more of a set it and forget it approach.

I don't need root so can install the rom as it is.
What are the chances of success with gpay and banking apps working with and without root?
What is your experience with gpay breaking?
How often does this happen where a workaround is needed?
Thanks

Can you send me a link to the exact rom that you're referring to and the instructions?
All the instructions I'm reading require TWRP etc. I'm looking for the least invasive method of flashing.
