[Q] Nexus 4 - booting - takes a very long time - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 4 was running on Android 5.0(Stock,Rooted). I installed the Xposed framework for Lollipop and few other modules for it. Initially things were working fine, but after installing few additional modules, the boot process started taking a long time than usual(30 mins to even 1 hr). The very first time it happened, I thought that my phone went into boot loop, but after some 20-30 mins it booted into the Android runtime. But from then on, every reboot has been such a pain the ass.
When the Factory Image for the 5.1.1 was released, I flashed it using the steps mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
But still I'm facing the same problem(the boot process is taking a very long time). So, I think it doesn't have anything to do with the Xposed Framework/Modules.
Has some one else faced similar problem? If so can you please provide some pointers on how I should go about solving this problem?

Try installing a custom recovery again, like TWRP, and then going in and manually doing a factory reset, along with wiping your Dalvik cache, and formatting the system partition on your phone. Then, try installing 5.1.1 again or install a custom ROM. It's possible some of the Xposed framework stuff got left on there.

[Q] Nexus 7 boot problem-kernel/rom issue

Hey there! I was updating my version of Paranoid Android and my kernel and it seemed fine at first but It yield some odd problems. I went into Clockworkmod recovery and Flashed my rom and kernel I then proceeded to wipe my cache and dalvik cache. I have done this many times before on many devices. I encountered a problem when I rebooted for the second time, I got the Android is updating apps display and I continued to get it every time I booted. The device would also randomly turn off when the screen dimmmed. I proceeded to set out and fix it. Here are the steps I took and the problems it caused.
Flashed stock rom-would not boot properly
Flash RESET kernel-I messed up and though this was a real kernel, my problems escalated from here.
Flashed stock rom and recovery.
Flashed reset kernel and then real kernel-Still had problems.
Flashed stock rom
My problems from all this accumulated somewhat and I can barely boot into fastboot. I get weird static screens and weird white noise sounds. It does not always let me boot into android and will get to the google logo 1 out of ten tries.
These is really unnerving and I have no clues whats what.
Note: I am using Faux123's kernels and his reset kernel.
Thanks a lot for any help!!!

[Q] Memory leak or something else?

So this issue has persisted throughout wiping data/factory resetting. I'm really not sure what this is.
Basically what happens is that my phone will gradually get slower and slower until it freezes and then reboots. However, after it reboots, it will go into a boot loop. What I will then need to do is basically wait it out by shutting it off. Then, I wait for an hour (maybe more) before I try turning it back on again, at which point it returns to normal.
Any idea? I thought it might be a memory leak? But how would that affect rebooting? I'd like to also mention that at one point my recovery somehow disappeared as well. I managed to re-flash TWRP using Flashify, but I haven't dared going back into the recovery, because last time when I had lost my recovery, I ended up thinking that I had to wipe my phone completely (because even Download Mode wasn't working correctly).
By the way, I'm running an AT&T LG G2 d800, on the "d80010q" firmware 4.2.2. I'm rooted, with Xposed modules running, as well as the camera mod flashed. No other modifications have been made except for buildprop and systctl (kernel) changes through android tuner.
Same issue
Hello,
I am having this exact same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this? I have been searching for hours. I have tried numerous things, flashing back to stock with lg flash tool, installing different roms, it happens on all roms.
Thanks

[Q] Xposed question (Bootloop) :(

Just installed it with a bunch of new modules and rebooted. Is it normal to take longer than 10 minutes to update everything? Its running on TekXodus rom
EDIT: its been 20 mins so i pulled the battery and went back into twrp and wiped all the cache. Still in bootloop
I had to do a complete restore to my original state. It would not go out of bootloop after using Xposed. I only installed the modules that were compatible from this list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59955968&postcount=2
Ill try again tomorrow but looks like im not going to be using Xposed for a while. Are you supposed to reboot after installing each module?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you need boot into recovery, do a factory reset and then flash rom in odin
That was no help at all man. I did say im back to stock using recovery.
What run time was your phone on?

Note 3 sm-n9005 stuck in boot(not loop) after xposed flashing.

Hi. Goodday and i want to start of by thanking everybody for reading this and taking your time in advance.
My problem is very clear. I have rooted my phone with odin. Installed the recovery from TRMP?(ik think that's what it's called). Flashed the ROM CyangenMod 12.1. Now i tried flashing the Xposed software which is not a problem (i wipe dalvik before hand). After a reboot and then letting my phone boot up, i just keeps the boot up animation going for around 5 minutes. Didn't try longer then that. After that i booted in recovery again an flashed the uninstalled Xposed and me phone boots normally again (not taking into account it has to optimise the apps again which makes sense after a dalvik whipe).
Any ideas on a solution? Any information you might need ect. Ps, i am not super skilled or anything. I understand a little more then thr basics and thats it.
Again, thanks for your time and help!!

SM-P580 blackscreen problem

So tl;dr version - i was using my tablet, saw an update to magisk, installed it, now it boots to black screen while running sambones rom
[SM-P580] [BQK1] SaMBoNeS
TWRP 3.2.3.0 --> 3.3.1.0
longer story:
i was trying to get a game to run, it wasnt...and realized it has been a while for a restart, so i checked to see if anything needs to be updated and saw magisk needed an update. i didnt note what version it was before but it was a version or two earlier than what it was trying to install.
rebooted to blackscreen no samsung logo
have tried restarting a dozen times, booted to TWRP, tried to force normal system boot through the UI, nothing.
I tried installing a new kernal [SiriKernel], it made it to the samsung logo, waited 15 - 20 minutes and it never made it past. restored a backup using TWRP
updated TWRP to 3.3.1.0, still no luck.
i had this problem a long time ago, and cannot figure out how i fixed it....it may have fixed itself but it isnt this time. any advice would be appreciated. I am trying to avoid wiping and starting again if at all possible because the problem seems familiar. also trying to stick to a rom for use with adaptive storage. if i do have to wipe if that can be done on a newer stock OS that's fine as well but last time i messed with this tablet it wasnt
