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.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do I have to wipe first? I haven't done backups or restores in a long, long time. Like, Droid Incredible was my last modded phone. Heh.

Ha, I loved my Incredible. But yeah do a full wipe then restore.
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.

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.

As somebody reported thet they are experiencing lags after installing wanam xposed and other guys are doing just fine with the module working on their phone, would anybody be willing to post the guide how exactly wanam should be installed without bad cosequences for the phone and all apps to work flawlessly.
Thanks!
I'm also having this issue. It works great with Note 2, but with Note 4, it locks the whole phone. Super SU stops responding or responds with a huge delay. Only uninstalling Wanam module didn't fix the issue, I had to fully reinstall the xposed framework to bring my phone back to a normal behaviour. So far Note 2 is still my official phone until I sort out everything I need to make Note 4 works comfortably for me, so, there is still no SIM installed. Could this be the point? My phone is a 910C with NJ4 firmware. I appreciate any help.

A user having a similar experience as yourself posted the following on another thread (I haven't tried it, since I'm still waiting for my N910C )
After installing xposed I had a serious lag problem, including apps installation lags and other general slowdown, which I resolved.
For anyone having this lag, xposed framework seems to be incompatible with S-Health and Health Services.
To resolve, do this:
Uninstall Xposed and Reboot
Wipe data of S-Health and Health Services
Freeze S-Health and Health Services (using Titanium Backup or similar)
Install xposed and reboot
Install the xposed addon XSecureStorage, enable it and Reboot
Unfreeze S-Health and Services (using Titanium Backup or similar)

Thanks ernani for pointing us to the solution. It works!!
I have this app as it comes with a cook ROM. No problem except I cant get some of the things to work. One example, the vol + button for flash doesnt work well.

I always had issues with these "all in one" apps. Some features do actually works well in some ROMs and not in others. Gravity mod has also some nice features, most a lot similar with Wanam but in one some features works and not in the other app, so a believe both are more or less complimentary. Just a thought.

This is the S5 fix...
XSecureStorage
"One of the issues i noticed on GalaxyS5 was the SHealth incompatibility with Xposed (described on this thread), somehow if you are using Xposed framework, Secure storage will fails to process and save data, which leads to Sensor service hangs
This module bypass the secure storage checks on SHealth and Private mode services, and will let you load the SHealth App with no hangs and activate Private mode on Rooted Samsung devices running Xposed framework.
I did just the basic tests for SHealth because i don’t use this App anyway, it’s not easy to play football with a device on my hands/pocket ."
http://wanamlite.com/xsecurestorage/
Yes, Wanam has an option to disable XSecureStorage but (at least when I tried it) it didn't work. After installing XSecureStorage it resolved the weird lag I was having installing apps and such, and S Health works now too.
I think there was also another post that I saw with a small file that I downloaded and installed since I don't think S Health worked at first install of XSecureStorage, but after installing that and clearing data for S Health it worked.
This worked perfectly for me on my Note 4.
http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/f...hes-when-using-xposed-your-galaxy-s5-0157344/ It might have been all in my head, and maybe it even does the same thing, but following this guide seemed to make things smoother than using the option in Wanam Xposed.
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.
So, with the realization that Xposed, etc. are likely dying a slow death I'm coming to the realization more and more that it's time to just get used to using a phone without that stuff and go ahead an upgrade to Nougat. I've been holding off because of the lack of xposed.
My question is...is there anything out there (on the Play Store or downloadable APKs) that will do the same things as these modules and is a legit app and not some junk?
1) Greenify (I know this will work without xposed but some features won't work - is there anything better?)
2) XInsta (download Instagram photos and videos)
3) SnapPrefs (I primarily only use this for typing more text in Snapchat and sharing 20 second videos which are longer than stock, I don't need the other features)
Anyone know of anything that I can download to replace those?
Also, as far as rooting 7.1.1 it's just a matter of applying the latest SuperSU I already am using (I updated my N6P regularly) after flashing the 7.1.1 stock images?
Any pointers will be appreciated.

Hi... I can't answer all your questions, only 2...
About greenify. I used to have it on my N6 running marshmallow. When I upgraded to the N6P, I thought I'd try without, just to see how battery performs. With stock 7.1.1 or PureNexus, the battery drain is negligible. Also, you can install a custom kernels and use custom profiles which tends to help with battery consumption (this is more for screen on usage though).
If you still want to save more juice... There's Franco's naptimes app that forces doze as soon as the screen goes off. I don't use it, so you may try to find more infos by yourself.
I don't use Xinsta, nor SnapPrefs, so i'll pass on this.
For root, flash your stock firmware, flash TWRP with fastboot, reboot to TWRP, then flash SU of your choice. Latest SuperSU is SuperSU 2.79 SR3. Don't reboot to system before the SU install or TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery and you'll have to reflash it, etc... Starting with 7.x firmware it has to be done this way...
Good luck...

Yeah, I used Elemental right now on my N6P with 6.0.1. So I'm already tweaking that, and I did read about Naptimes just like 5 minutes ago as I was doing further research. Can also run Greenify in basic mode to get some of those benefits back as it doesn't require Xposed for all features.
Really curious about the other two, if anyone knows of any other apps.
Thanks again!

Hey... I don't see any issue as far as I remember that could prevent from using greenify. I don't know how much apps you have installed that could stay running in the background. Doze has been pretty well improved on 7.x compared to marshmallow. Give it a try, you can still install it afterward.
Good luck...
OGinstagram+ can download pictures and videos, it's here on XDA. It's not updated regularly (doesn't get bumped up for each little play store update to Instagram) but it works just fine. No idea about anything for Snapchat or greenify.
On newer versions of Snapchat you can type unlimited captions without Snapprefs. Videos are still stuck at 10 seconds, though.

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 on 8.1 How-to:
Required: Rooted with Magisk and Xposed installer 3.1.5 is needed for this to work.
I followed how some say to get it installed on here and just couldn't get it to install correctly. The way I got it to work on the first try is:
1) Download and install Xposed 3.15 from the link below,
2) open up the Xposed installer app and accept root,
3) in the Xposed app, click on the cloud next to the first option to install/update to 90 beta 3
4) reboot and profit.
The other methods work after numerously flashing from Magisk or twrp. But doing it once suits me fine.
The pros:
As Oreo becomes more developed by the awesome people here on XDA, more and more modules are available. So the best Pro there is, is that a lot of the modules work, too big of a list to go through, but gravity box, flat status bar, and neo power menu works definitely. Play around there is a lot working.
The cons:.
Okay so the biggest concern there is, it's the lag. I'm talking longer reboots, lag when waking device, switching from app to app, just feels like a sluggish phone after. Even the touch screen seems unresponsive at times. But if you don't care, by all means go for it.
Just thought I'd share this with everyone. Have a nice day.
