[Q] Wanam Xposed settings that don't work

Are all the Wanam Xposed settings supposed to work on the Note 3?
"circle battery" and "all rotation angles" work for me but these don't do anything:
- enable keyboard symbols
- remove camera sound
- 4 way reboot
If that makes any difference, I'm rooted with the "de la Vega" method (preserves knox)

I had similar problems and it turned out wanam wasn't ticked in xposed

Mine is ticked, and some settings of wanam actually work for me (circle battery for example)
I don't think everything in wanam works for the N3, did you turn on symbol keys and turn off camera sounds with it?

I have turned off camera shutter sound, and it's worked. One problem I had was the sound was still on the startup logo even though I disabled it. Then I found out Wanam wasn't ticked in xposed.

That's odd... Do you use a custom rom? I rooted with "de la vega" which doesn't trigger the knox flag, I wonder if that has something to do with it. I don't think these mods required a deodexed rom, do they?

I used the Vega method to. No custom ROM. 4 way boot works for me too

Actually 4 way reboot works for me too (I didn't realize the menu only comes up after pressing "restart")
So the only 2 things that don't work for me are No Camera Sounds and Symbols on Keyboard. I can actually mute the camera sound if I turn down the volume to 0 before starting the camera app, but that's not a great solution.

I still don't understand why it didn't work from Wanam (the logcat wasn't helpful) so in the end I manually modified /system/csc/others.xml to add the symbol and shutter sound option.
More info here if someone else has the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46496735
PS: I think the "Note 2 Hidden Settings" app would work too:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steinapps.note2hiddensettings

4 way reboot works for me also, but... Wanam worked for 1 day, and thats it.
After the first day Wanam couldn't get root anymore, while other programs don't have any problem with root.
I gave permission once more, but couldn't get it to work.
Finally I deinstalled it.

For me a lot of the things I have tried work on reboot, (camera no sound, no carrier label, 4 way, ect.). Only problem is they only work for a bit. They almost always revert back on next reboot?

SMS taking forever to send but MMS sends right away and Play Store downloads hang? :s

So I rooted my Note 4 SM-N910W8 (Rogers) 4.4.4 and everything works fine however, my SMS and Play Store seem to not be working now. I have no issues sending MMS but when I send SMS it takes a very long time to send. Also my Play Store is not downloading apps, they start and then hang on different percentages, they also will download but take forever as well. I'm at a loss and really hope someone can help.
Thank You so much in advance.

hi,
i had something similar with Play store, also hanging and downloading only certain percentage etc.. etc(sms, i don'f know/did not noticed... as i seldom send sms)
I cleared Play cache, then Play data, but it did not help!
even cleared Dalvick cache, no luck.!
i suspected that the culprit could be have been Xposed, as i just had uninstalled it and then started to have problems (i must add that whilst using Xposed and other modules.. wanam, etc Play store was ok.)
i have N910F Snapdragon, rooted, stock Rom.
Got fed up, and just re flashed latest Rom.. ..ANK4 , rooted again and every thing (PLAY STORE issue fixed)
bottom line, it can(? ) be fixed!
good luck

AHAH!

YOU ROCK! I think that is it cause you are correct, I had installed that earlier today so I can use some tweaks for Swype. BRILLIANT. So I need to flash NJ3 you're saying? Also do I have to stay away from Xposed now?

hi,
No, i am not directly saying you must flash, anything.!
I compared your issue with mine, and suggested that it could be a positive way to fix issue.?
I did not try a factory reset /hard reset at first as
i was so fed up trying "this and that " to fix, that i flashed my
version N910F Rom and rooted again. Problem fixed for me.
Your options could be to factory reset your device and see if it help ? otherwise you can try re flashing your correct device Rom remember you have a N910W8 (Rogers) so you must be careful that you have the correct Rom for your device, You will have to unroot first and then flash again (very easy/straight forward.) After flashing your rom you can root again.
I have to add that Xposed does not "play" nicely and when at first installing it can cause bad lag at times.. and break the S HEALTH app etc etc. However, there is a fix for this issues. So when uninstalling Xposed i believe it can also " break " something again?I just wanted to say to you there is a possible fix for your Play store issue depending how much effort you want to put into fixing issues?
good luck

I'm pretty much at wits end myself however I will take your advice on the factory reset first I guess. N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3 is my stock fw. I did uninstall Xposed as well. Oops.
This thread can be locked now, I have fixed the issue. Thanks to you @willcor for pointing me in the right direction, I have traced the issue and found the fixes. I can't thank you enough. Thank You Thank You Thank You.

Get the XSecureStorage XPosed module and it will all be back to normal. It hangs due to that.

hi ,
if you read my post #2 ,you would noted that i had Xposed installed and all working well ,no problems ( yes i had fixes ..Wanam module with "bypass secure storage " enabled) but you would have noted i had already " uninstalled" Xposed and thus i suspected it had broke my Google play app ( only downloads apps to certain percentage and sticks forever, etc etc .)
So the point i made was that Xposed does not always "play " well with certain apps ( S HEALTH ,Private mode ,very noticeable lag etc ,and yes i fixed all this ,with the Wanam module )
I still use Xposed on my other devices Note 8.0 tab and Note 2 ,so i know Xposed well , but It can also "break " apps afterwards .Also i noticed ( according to what i read in his Xposed thread ) that the dev of Xposed " rovo89 " is not supporting any further developments( ?) on Xposed framework due to change from Dalvik to ART etc (Android 5.xxxx Lollipop) He "might" ... ? , concentrate in getting Xposed to work on Art ? as Xposed at moment , does not work on Art .?
So (to me) is it really worthwile keeping Xposed Framework on my device ? No ,so i uninstalled it( ...and it also broke "some " of my apps ...! in the process .)
Bottom line ,
As Xposed Framework can " break " apps on installing ,it can also break apps on uninstalling it !!!!
Good luck

I don't think the bypass secure storage option in Wanam is working on the Note 4 (yet). Most things work but a few still don't. XSecureStorage is a separate module. Once I installed it and rebooted I had no more hanging issues.
And yes Xposed doesn't work on ART yet either until rovo updates it. It's finding the time to do so that is difficult.

hi ,
Yes ,the Wanam module i had installed on my Note 4 , (with secure storage enabled in module) it does work .!
I had Xposed/Wanam installed on my Note 4 ,for over a month plus .No problem !
(Also i do know how to install Xposed or any other module, reboot etc )
Further , Wanam actually fixed my Shealth ,Private mode and lag i had from Xposed framework .
I think you are missing my point in my post above and that is just after.......i uninstalled Xposed ,I had Play store issues
As i had same /similar "Play store issue" that OP @ ShizNick experienced not "while or whilst" i had Xposed installed i gave OP my thoughts, that it could be Xposed .
I see that OP had sorted his Play store issue out successfully , so my "suggestion/advice " must have been positive ?
You seem to a miss point that Xposed Framework seems to have different issues/problems on Note 4 members devices ( as far as i followed post in forums ) Not all members experience same issues with Xposed ,some have no issues , some have terrible issues !
I have Xposed still installed on my Note 3 ,Note 2 ,Note 8.0 and my Htc One X .
So i do know the Xposed Frameworks, various issues on "various /same " devices
I have no problems in general with Xposed(,but as stated a few times in my post above ,)it does not "play nice" with Note 4 when installed or when you uninstalled it ,it can break another app ( yes, i also mentions there was "fixes "in my above post .)I had the Wanam module( with Secure storage ) installed on my Note 4 before Wanam released his "stand alone" module (afterwards) and was not going to uninstall and install similar module , anyway !
When i last read @ rovo89 thread in Xposed( a while back ) you could "follow" that he was not ( ? ) going to update Xposed for Dalvik ?
Bottom line is, that if he manages to "enable" Xposed to work on Art /lollipop ,i would install it again.
Good luck and thanks for your input.

thanks sooo much, was starting to pull my hair out with this problem!

[Q] Apps stuck on installing, help please

After rooting the Note 4 for the first time with the stock rom, all apps I try to install get stuck on the "Installing..." screen, even in the Play Store they do the same for upgrading apps. That happened shortly after I installed the Xposed Installer ( being that the last app I could install on my Note ).
As I am writting this, one of the apps jsut installed but it lasted 2 hours, I know it isnt any connection issues because Im triying to install apks already downloaded. Please some help, I'm new to Samsung phones coming from a Nexus 5 and I find this a little bit messy.
Thanks for your time.

Personally for me xposed caused more problems than it solved. That would be my first port of call.
It may be worth checking your security settings, they may also be blocking your installs.

This happened to me too in other samsung device. Try this:
- Go to SuperSU - Apps - Forget Wanam Xposed.
- Go to Wanam Xposed app and give new root perms and update it if you need it.
- Reboot your device and try to install new apps. I think you won't have more problems. Good luck :highfive:

hi ,
i agree with JagDave that it seems that it could only be Xposed Framework .I stated in other threads ,that Xposed does not "play nicely " with Note 4. It will either break "something/app " when installing/installed or uninstalling ..?.
I had Xposed break apps eg... S health ..Private mode ,lag or as what you described above ..not installing apps /stuck on installing.
I had to use " work arounds /fixes /patches" ....Wanam ( Secure storage ) and then my device( N910f Note 4,)was working 100%. ,but to me it is not worth it and I uninstalled it( then it broke my Google Play app on uninstalling ! ) ,
Further i noted the dev ( rovio89 of Xposed stated in "earlier " post )that he was not going to" update" Xposed re the Dalvik /Art ( Lollipop ) issue .?
If you look at at his last stable update for Xposed framework it has been "months " back . (No wonder it "breaks " apps ...it was last updated ,before Note 4 was released( and thus not " optimized" for Note4 ? )
I have Xposed installed on all my other " old " devices and working 100% and i am happy with Xposed Framework , but Note 4 ..? (no ) and i can understand the dev rovo89 " issue" if it is worthwile further developing re Dalvik ?
I would rather wait for the dev ,to enabled Xposed to work with Art and re install it then .?
Bottom line.... its your decision to install or use workaround/fixes !
good luck

Thanks everyone, somehow after a few reboots and some time the problem fixed itself, I also managed to get S-Health to work properly but the Private Mode won't work since the Knox counter is triggered, something related to being rooted, as of yet there is no proper fix for it.

When I had all the problems with xposed, I also lost private mode. I restored my nand (1st I made after rooting) and both s-health and private mode work perfectly.

Xposed - Chance of bricking mad etc. questions

Hi.
If I will follow the instructions for installing Xposed for my phone, what are the chances that it will go bricked? I heard that you must be very lucky to get it right. And is there a chance of hard brick or only normal? Thanks !
PS; Are all the modules working (f.e. Pixel navbar or status bar and notification bar in material style)

I think actually bricking with xposed is impossible(can maybe cause bootloop though), and most theming modules won't work at all or work wrong. Also for some users normal xposed version breaks phone app.
I'm using this version made for odexed samsung roms(my phone is honor 4x which is same than p8lite) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
This will keep phone app working.
Take TWRP backup of your whole device before installing and you will be safe.
Also the first boot can take 30mins. After that boot time goes to normal.
Guide tells you to use CWM recovery, but TWRP will work.

Thanks for the reply! I want to use Xposed mainly for theming... So in that case, most of them don't work?

I use this version of Xposed installer and it's working without any problem
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
About modules most of them is not compatible with EMUI
Anyway this is my installed modules list and all of them are working (except gravity box, most of it's features is not working) and I can confirm that XStana is working too

Ok I'll try. Thanks m8s

xposed

Xposed nougat and gravity box works great on the Qualcomm variant see attached image. I have cursor icons enabled when the keyboard is open, made the nav bar a little smaller and it fades when the screen isn't touched. Got rid of my battery icon and made it the white bar at the top of the screen, also centered the clock. Did some audio level tweaks too and the speaker on this thing is amazing.

can you please drop the xposed thread link here ?
in my case only xposed framwork working not the modules.

What exactly was your procedure for installing Xposed on the Moto E4? When I try to flash the framework and reboot, my phone never gets past the Motorola/Lenovo logo. To get back in business, I have to reboot into TWRP and run the xposed uninstaller.

No way, really? I guess I'll give it another shot. (What's taking so long?)
[EDIT, a few minutes later:] It worked! The only hitch was that it was complaining about not being able to access its own cache directory. I moved it from adoptable storage to internal storage and cleared its data, and then it was OK. Although I still have to manually move the modules to internal after they install. (Any way to tell Xposed to use internal by default?)
