[Q] Xposed Module limit? Force close city

I have been having issues with "Context Service has stopped" force closes since rerooting my S5 on NCG and flashing to NE9 the other day. I have kept thinking I have found fix after fix, and finally last night I rebooted my phone a good 30 times in the process of figuring out what Xposed module was causing my problem, and I finally definitively found it: too many modules. If I download more than 7 Xposed modules, my phone automatically begins to get the Context Service FC as soon as the phone boots and after every call I make or receive. I am now using Greenify, the app that I thought was the root of the problem, without issue. I had Xposed Torch installed last night and it was working fine after several reboots. Then I tried to install another module, Xtoast, I had already tested to not be my issue. Sure enough, the addition of that eighth module, XToast, caused the Force close issue on reboot and it stayed on subsequent reboots. Uninstalled Xposed Torch and the issue is gone. Why would there be a 7 module limit to what I can install on Xposed without it giving me that error and is there anything I can do to fix it so I can load up the rest of the modules I typically run?

Interesting. I have nine modules going on my S4 w/ no problems.

OOPS ... I thought I was in the S5 forum ...

I think his point was that he is able to run 9 modules without trouble..... and just for the record, I'm running 10 on my s5 (verizon) without issue.... Try uninstalling exposed and then reinstall using wanam in the Playstore (most of your modules will still be on your phone when you reinstall exposed)... Goodluck

[Q] HELP: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F) rooted + very very slow (AND MORE)

Hey, this is basically a question/help thread which I am currently experiencing with my Note 4 which I recently rooted.
I have been experiencing serious lag issues that have just made the use of my phone unbearable at this current time. The apps that I have installed which now have deleted to see if maybe this was experiencing the problems are: Freedom, Xposed Installer, Root File Manager, Root Checker, Adfree, Build.prop editor (Found a topic that said to edit the ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false ) Did that but didnt fix any problem. I will state below what kind of issues I am experiencing with the lag and other issues too.
When installing a new app from the play store or even from a downloaded APK it will take for ever to install from the APK and from the play store it will get stuck around 80% for about 30minutes before it starts installing then the install takes another 30minutes or so, same with installing straight from the APK. The lag issues consist of scrolling issues through the home screen (Happens every so often). A lot of keyboard issues when trying to type text to people its just a nightmare to use this.
I want to know what I can do to actually fix this issue, whether other people have had this issue, and whether people have any solutions. I am new to the android community and even newer to rooting, so I may be a bit of a "noob" but I learn very quickly. I dont feel like unrooting and reflashing to stock. (This is a last resort) But if push comes to shove I will do this.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully you guys can help me

Try this first, uninstall xposed framework, then install any apk (either standalone or from the play store) and report back to see if you have that problem.
If you don't have much set up, I recommend going back to stock via ODIN, see if installing app works properly.
If it doesn't, you might have a defective phone. If it does, then it must be a software issue which we can resolve.

Yeah, well I have already uninstalled xposed framework, as i said that I uninstalled everything that required root access (even when installing something that requests root access SuperSU takes about 10minutes to pick it up (This only happened after installing something but I didnt really take any notice at first) I will probably have to go back to stock, but being in canada right now and not at my actual home the internet is so slow to download the firmware -_-. Literally installing apps takes forever, uninstalling takes no time at all.

For me the culprit was exposed. Ended up having to restore my nand, and stay away from exposed.

You need to install the xposed module XSecureStorage.

Why we need install the XSecureStorage is something with privacy or S-Health problem I have the same problem, but I have installed Xposed since the first day and not have this problem until few days ago.
I like Xposed and use maybe the Instagram Downloader and Youtube Ad apps only so I want keep it.

After installed the Xposed Module XSecure Storage my apps install fast and without troubles, thanks Lessaj

XSecureStorage seems to solve the issue
Hi
Just a quick note to say that I was having the same issues after rooting and installing Xposed and that by installing XSecureStorage the problem appears to be solved.
So thanks Wanam for XSecureStorage and thanks to Lessaj :good: for pointing this out.

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.

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.

Shield Tablet running Xposed on Lollipop

Hi all,
With Xposed just released for Lollipop I was hoping we could start a thread on experiences thus far. I'm reading conflicting user reports that it actually works on the Shield tablet and was hoping we could consolidate our findings her.
I'll be giving it a go later tonight.
Mods, if this if in the wrong forum please feel free to move.

Not sure if this is the right forum for a post like this but..
It works. I installed it on my tablet. Your module mileage may vary depending on the modules. Some things in gravity box work, some don't etc... You're gonna need to test stuffs. As always, make a backup before installing xposed!

So far so good. I'm getting the standard "Xposed is not installed error,"
but I read it is a GUI glitch due to the way the alpha build was created. I'm using ADM+, YouTube AdAway and BootManager and don't notice any major issues yet.

I've got it installed as well. Burnt Toast, CrappaLinks, and Play Store Changelog all seem to work. It's interesting that the Lollipop Xposed thread has a ton of posts about needing to put SELinux in permissive mode followed by a soft reboot in order to get Xposed to work. I did not need to do that. SELinux is set to enforcing but Xposed is working from what I can tell

I'm using Xgels and youtube adaway. Its running fine with no reboots or crashes.
I previously had tested out gravity box for notification toggles, but as I expected, its not working. I also previously had the phab7 module installed to play with the dpi, but it doesn't seem to stick through a reboot and I was only looking to get the fullscreen notif pulldown, but I can live without so i uninstalled.

I have SELinux in permissive due to Viper4Android.
Gilbot, what DPI are you looking to use? Is there a huge benefit in altering?

Works fine for me in both permissive and enforcing.

has anyone had any success with xprivacy 3.6.6? I'm running superpichu's kernel which is supposed to have SELinux set to permissive, and indeed selinux mode changer shows it as permissive without me doing anything. The problem is when i install xprivacy and activate/reboot, i get stuck in the boot screen.

I never really messed with this tablet's dpi, but I am not sure if I dig the notification pulldown width, I feel like I want more touch room and width for notifications to include more info. Its a minor thing though and I'm fine without it.

Fair enough. Let me know if you ever do some experimenting. I'm also interested about what's gained with adjusted DPI.

FYI. I tried Xposed for the 1st time and liked it. But while using gravity box (which I also really liked) my shield CONTROLLER was acting funny.
The mapping got all screwed up and the mapping app stopping working (error message) when you hold down start on controller and click the little cloud icon to download mappings.
Anyway had to del gravity box and just did away with Xposed for now.
And now controller works fine. Weird....
Anyone else having issues with the controller using Xposed moduels?

Hi,
I had installed xposed alpha and a few modules. I had issues with it not going to sleep, and now it wouldn't turn the screen back on so I had to hard-reboot it.
How do I go about uninstalling XPosed? I did a full TWRP backup before I did xposed, if that matters.

I had to uninstall xposed. Massive battery drain. Couldn't root cause the issue definitively, but once I uninstalled battery is back to normal.
I'll wait for a more stable framework in the future.

My experience on Xposed
Hello guys
I have installed xposed on my shield tablet, it's work but it's difficult ( i have many bug on boot )
if i reboot whien i install a new module. the shield crash on boot i have dark scrren. reboot it's ok
!!!! I recommend to those who want to make their experience of waiting for a stable version !!!!

I'm curious on trying xposed, but I'm a little worried as it's not stable yet.
Where do I get it from?

From here.
I had no problems so far. Only one module (awesome pop up video - twitch addon) is not working, it just F/C.
So, if you ask me, its perfectly fine. But it probably denpends on the moduls you want to install.

I have shield tablet LTE which installer do I use?
Arm, arm64, x86?
Thanks in advance I've been trying to figure this out before flashing.
