Is anyone using Magisk?

If so, can you post a little about the initial setup? If you want to change kernels do you have to resort back to stock each time?
I understand you need to be completely stock when you install it the first time, I assume with an unlocked bootloader?

I got magisk running smoothly. I can share if anyone wants.

Sorry, what's Magisk?

I use Magisk on all Nougat roms. I haven't had any luck with "Chainfires" SuperSU v2.78 or any other version for that matter. I think the set up requires a couple more steps that just flashing a SuperSu zip like the one we are all used to but the benefits that come with Magisk are worth it and it just plain works. And if you use the Magisk manager you can also toggle SElinux on and off and turn root on and off for apps that require no root.. I have been on board since N hit and we has no working root accept for this, and once I used it I was hooked.

Yeah I'm enjoying it. Also the automagisk app helps with other apps.
I'm using the phh superuser and its been working fine. Just waiting for xposed to drop for N and I'll be happy.

Yes, please, if you don't mind. It's a bit of information overload in the magisk thread. I've been watching it intently as the program has developed. Just haven't pulled the trigger on flashing yet.

Yea no prob.
What I did was use the nexus root toolkit to unlock my bootloader (replacement phone) then followed this guide
http://blog.meltedpeng.com/easiest-way-to-install-systemless-root-and-xposed-on-your-nexus-5/
But I replaced the su with the phh super user from magisk.
I also did Franco kernel.
If I need to explain more let me know.

hie guys i am actually new to magisk and using this for pokemon go, my phone is nexus 6p and running android 7.1.1. Everything is working fine as i have checked on root checker pro, I am having some problems and i hope i will get some help here
1.) i am not able to move any app to system, error showing is 'can not remount system'
2.) when i restore any back up it restores till 53% and then stucks in bootloop
3.) i am not able to install any update even if i hide my root. tried flashfire also
and sorry for bad english

I flashed Magisk v 12, but not showing up in the Magisk manager app.
I'm on Google Pixel ROM(rooted), with SuperSU.
I thought that the installation guide on the Magisk site said that Magisk would over write SuperSU.
Whats your setup, and what process did you use to get Magisk working?

If the ROM does not come with root, reflash ROM and​ then magisk.

Magisk does not overwrite supersu, if it detects supersu it does not install it's own superuser version. It continues to allow the system use supersu.
If you want to use magisk and use magisk's su, then you'd need to use a rom that does not come rooted and then flash magisk.

Thanks for the explanation.
Finally got Magisk installed by removing SuperSU, reflashing the boot image (stock), then Magisk - all good!

A lot of apps won't work if they detect root, or if the SafetyNet won't pass. Android Pay is one of them, but a lot of banking apps, Pokemon Go, Mario Run, etc won't work.

The modules are worth it. I only use a few for the camera, like 60fps video or EIS, and they're quite nice.

Safetynet failing on Magisk 15.3.

Received my 5T today. Running stock 5.03 with Magisk and Bluspark kernel and cannot pass safety net. Can't seem to figure out who. I am not running Xposed. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: figured it out.

I had originally flashed in twrp. After rebooting and setting everything up safety net was failing. So I reflashed Magisk through Magisk manager, rebooted, and safety net passed fine.

Google Pay

Has anyone been able to get Google Pay working on a custom ROM with root? I'm assuming google pay will try to detect root and if you have a custom ROM or not.

Yes, I have AquariOS rom with the "Flash" Kernel along with being rooted with Magisk. Google Pay works fine.

Hmm literally just set up with the following:
- Latest AquariOS
- Magisk v16.0 ("SafetyNet Check = Success")
- Flash Kernel v2.28
So just to check, via Magisk does it pass safetynet? Do you have xposed installed?

Hmm try the latest stable rather than beta (though mine worked on that too I think). Also try clear the cache of the Pay app and/or reinstall

Is the app up to date via the play store?
Have you tried to hide it via magisk?
Have you tried removing root (use a magisk uninstaller) and seeing if the Pay app works then?

[ROOT] Working magisk oreo

UPDATE 3: This thread is now useless, I recommend flashing mesa's custom kernel and then just normal magisk
UPDATE 4: Magisk is now officially fixed you can use stable version of magisk now

I had the magisk 14.2 and it worked but didnt show up on magisk manager, i thought maybe it could be the app's fault so i looked for magisk manager 5.3.5 and surprisingly it worked!

And it doesn't seem to work with the busybox from Magisk modules, says it can't detect root. That's actually the reason I don't use Magisk either right now, even though I've managed to install it and other stuff seemed to work ok (eg. Xposed). Titanium can't detect root, and if you try to install Stericson's Busybox it says something about unrecognized binary and refuses to install.

Poking around Magisk Manager... how does one install to an open slot? Not seeing any such reference.

Just saw a post... it shows as an option after the OTA but before boot.
