[WARNING] Xposed Feedback on stock 5.0.2 [POSSIBLE FIX FOUND]

I make this thread in order to help nailing down the problems with Xposed and new stock Sony Lollipop.
As everybody knows, Xposed is out in alpha for LP (5.0.2)
Some testing on Sony based stock roms reported that it will mostly brick your rom, forcing you to clear ART-cache every time you want to boot the phone.
If you won't clear the cache, the phone simply bootloops.
This happens only on SOME situations, on some other works.
Once you bricked the ROM, removing Xposed doesn't seem to help, you will have to wipe clean and reflash everything.
So be careful while testing Xposed.
You can post here your results or suggestions regarding this serious issue.
Any kind of log about the problem is appreciated.
EDIT: POSSIBLE FIX FOUND
** As always... TAKE A BACKUP FIRST! **

I uninstalled a lot of (apparently) unuseful stuff, and my phone is now rebooting all ok.
Try uninstalling all google stuff except for store and framework (you can reinstall everything later from store)
Then remove some of the stuff you don't really need from the list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
Hope it helps.

I heard of problems even if rom is deodexed in the z3 section...
Anyway, since no deodex is already out for Z1, we can't test it.

Here is Z3 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/lp-mini-deodex-t3076490. When CE1 will be available I'll do some tests and prepare deodex.

C6906 on stock FTF clean flash of 5.0.2.
Xposed worked fine for me, up until I flashed the "5.0.2. Memory Leak Fix" found on the repo in the Xposed app. Boot loop after enabling this and rebooting. Cleared both caches, got all the way until "starting applications" after it counted up the list of installed apps, then froze, and rebooted. Repeated the process forever. Could never get into a stable working environment to disable that hook.
Tried to remove the conf files in data/data/xposed/conf, but no luck.
Had to FTF Flash again, which I'm waiting on booting right now, to see if that fixed it.

Same here. Tried in the same manner.
If someone is able to deodex the rom, I can provide the full system dump.

Before flashing the xposed framework i advise you guys to make a backup (recovery) of your system. This way if anything bad happen, just restore your system and you're good to go.
Sent from the future.

I suggest not to install xposed.......I bricked my z1 3 times.......now it's ok without xposed, maybe it's better if we wait for a more stable version for lollipop

This seems to suggest to me that deodexing won't be a guaranteed fix:

The good news is, rovo89 is aware of the issue. I can't tell if he got the logs he needed though.

I don't won't to deodex....I'll wait for a stable release of xposed

Been running Xposed all day with Gravitybox Module & Unicon. Tried lots of modules and rebooted lots of times. No bootloop issue. May I ask, are they using the latest version of Xposed? And how did the install Xposed? These Qs may lead to answers.
I am using the latest version both flashable zip files and apk. And I installed the apk first after first boot and the did a restore using TB then flashed the files on the flashable zip. I don't recommend installing mods before first boot.
I'm on a C6903 and using prerooted HK flashable zip with dual Recovery.

xposed worked find on my phone.
follow this method,
1. flash xposed-arm-20150308.zip via recovery
2. clear cache / ART
3. Reboot system , install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk and soft reboot.
4. install xposed module and enable module.

How and where do we check the version? Also, would it work in India?

Just flash Latest Recovery from [NUT]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
Maybe it works with older version too, but im only tested it with 2.8.21.
I guess it woks for India too.

It's ok to use this for example, on a phone with a differente CDA?

I did everything as instructed and it got me into a bootloop...

For me, supersu is installed but it says that no su binary is installed

Hmm damn, i can confirm this. Looking for a fix. be patient.

Try my version, it seems to work according to others (I sttil didn't have time to test it):
Are you sure you used the latest supersu? Yours is much smaller than mine.
D5503_14.6.A.0.368_Customized_DE_prerooted.zip

I guess its a problem with latest PRFCreator (1.0). Witch Version of PRFCreator did you use?
Also i left the fota-reset.ta and custom-reset.ta but i think its not the reason for the smaler size.

Download the installer version of the dual recovery 2.8.21 and just reinstall the revovery with the phone running. This should work for regaining full root.
Best, maris

That could be it. I used the previous version (0.9) because 1.0 seemed strange with trying to flash those .sin files.

Jip, PDFCreator has some issues.
Recreated with 0.8, Root is there \o/
So im going to upload the new File and edit the first post.
Sorry guys for that!

[Stock][PreRooted][D5503] 14.6.A.0.368 Customized CE1 (Lolipop 5.1.1)

ROM downloaded with XperiFirm and pre-rooted with PRFCreator.
CDA (customization version): 1280-7864 (Customized CE1)
It contains SuperSU 2.46 and LockedDualRecovery 2.8.21 (it will overwrite your current recovery).
You need to be on any rooted ROM already with custom recovery to flash a .zip file with this firmware!
You don't loose any data (but make your backup before upgrading), you keep root, you update your firmware to the newest Lolipop 5.1.1 build .368.
Download link: https://mega.nz/#!0B9HQIIL!gLuhWuK15KByWKrwLaL9KLkLZB-ztg8npsYmUo_Ni3o
Notes:
Do a factory reset if you've got "Android OS/System" as a number one battery eater.

Hi Davka , I will taste it right now , any wipes at all to do please ????

Cache and Dalvik cache for sure. I'm not sure about system, I did system wipe but probably by mistake I have also checked data so I have ended with factory reset state - but everything important was backed up on SD

Hey !
Worked fine for me (with both dalvik and cache wipe obsiously).
But a major problem remains : when I launch xposed, it says that the framework is not installed and I need to flash it with the zip from xda.
I get the right zip (v74 sdk22 arm) but when I flash it, it boot properly, optimise the apps, shows the launcher for about 1 second and then the screen goes and stays black....
Help ? Please ? :'(
Edit : okay, found the solution ! (uninstall xperia xposed). But now I can't get rid of the bloatware with titanium backup as I used to do ><

installing Xposed?
I do not work and tested some versions.

Xposed working fine for me. Flashed zip via recovery. No issues so far.

Anyone having the same problem with uninstalling the bloatwares ?

Me too. It looks like Titanium Backup not working.

Is it possible to install this as secondary rom using multirom

Thank you for your work!!

Everything works like a charm.

i guess its bc the stock kernel is running in enforcement mode. try to set it to permissive via init script

Installed , all running perfect , thanks !!!!!

Do a factory reset if you've got "Android OS/System" as a number one battery eater.
I've got this problem and factory reset solved it (and that 's not so trivial because I've cleared all partitions just after update)

Xposed not working!!!!!! I installed it, worked fine.... then I enabled the apps, rebooted again...and then it didn't..black screen. help!
I mean I know how to fix it (uninstall xposed..)
but how to do it without uninstalling it? Should I try enabling the apps one by one?

[UPDATE] Update newest Oxygen OS Version with TWRP Recovery ! | by Haris Khawaja

Hey guys!!!
Today I got a new Update for my OnePlus 3T. But you can't install it with your custom recovery, becouse oneplus doesn't support third party recoverys. (Without lose any data)
So today I would like to explain to you how you can install the update anyway.
Edit: If you don't have the update avarible to download, here is the current Version ONLY for the OnePlus 3T and not for 3!
Link : https://mega.nz/#!RwxjAaSa!csp25h49dQZmZZ4Yehq1ZfXWJHRoDgS-3RnBA-MgXyA
Step 1: Go to your Softwareupdates and click on download Softwareupdate.
Step 2: If the download is completed, don't click on reboot and install!
Step 3: Go in your (for e.g.) ES File Manager and search for "ota". You'll find the .zip file. Copy that to your main Storage (sdcard) directory.
Step 4: After that, reboot into your recovery (at my point, twrp)
IF YOU WANT DO NOW A BACKUP -> SYSTEM, DATA AND BOOT
Step 5: Click on Wipe and select only dalvic and cache. (It'll not delete your data if you select only dalvic and cache!)
Step 6: Now go on install and select the Oxygen OS Version, that you copied to your storage. (Swipe to install)
Step 7: The installation takes a while. If it finished, click on back and wipe dalvic and cache again.
Step 8: After it, you can go back and reboot into your system. It should update now your apps.
Step 9: Finally you got successfully the newest oxygen OS version!

okay, i'll give it a try. had to go back to 3.5.4 as supersu (2.79) gave me a bootloop with the latest 4.0 update :/

Updater process ended with error 7
Hello,
Thank you very much for the detailed steps. However, I am getting stuck at installing the OTA and get error 7 on TWRP.
I tried to fix it by following the below link but it did not work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
Any help or suggestions?
P.S: I am trying to update from 3.5.4 to 4.0 OOS.

I updated my TWRP to 3.0.3 and now can't get TWRP to decrypt, it did not ask me for any pin / password on 3.0.2 TWRP.... Is it safe to revert back to 3.0.2 and flash the 4.1 OTA with it?

Yesterday I got my 3T and upgraded OTA latest OxygenOS 4.0.1. I was able to unlock bootloader and install TWRP 3.0.3 but when I access bootloader the first screen ask me to provide "Decrypt password" to mount, and if I ignore and slide to start modification I don't have access to internal card (assume its READ-ONLY), just folders are visible but unable to find or install SU package.
I check all the forums but didn't find any relevant information how to get out of TWRP "Decrypt password" issue. I don't want my phone to be encrypted, so I would appreciate if anyone can please help me.

Hey guys!!!
Today I got a new Update for my OnePlus 3T. But you can't install it with your custom recovery, becouse oneplus doesn't support third party recoverys. (Without lose any data)
So today I would like to explain to you how you can install the update anyway.
Edit: If you don't have the update avarible to download, here is the current Version ONLY for the OnePlus 3T and not for 3!
Link : https://mega.nz/#!RwxjAaSa!csp25h49dQZmZZ4Yehq1ZfXWJHRoDgS-3RnBA-MgXyA
Step 1: Go to your Softwareupdates and click on download Softwareupdate.
Step 2: If the download is completed, don't click on reboot and install!
Step 3: Go in your (for e.g.) ES File Manager and search for "ota". You'll find the .zip file. Copy that to your main Storage (sdcard) directory.
Step 4: After that, reboot into your recovery (at my point, twrp)
IF YOU WANT DO NOW A BACKUP -> SYSTEM, DATA AND BOOT
Step 5: Click on Wipe and select only dalvic and cache. (It'll not delete your data if you select only dalvic and cache!)
Step 6: Now go on install and select the Oxygen OS Version, that you copied to your storage. (Swipe to install)
Step 7: The installation takes a while. If it finished, click on back and wipe dalvic and cache again.
Step 8: After it, you can go back and reboot into your system. It should update now your apps.
Step 9: Finally you got successfully the newest oxygen OS version!
-> If your device was rooted, root access will no longer be available.
Edit: If you want to get root access after updating your phone, download SuperSu.zip (download : https://mega.nz/#!gsBCACAQ!L5t_0Ca6-Lyf-_xRpF9Bw2jzo-xj3W5Dr5X1Y8EsVoY )
Step 1: Boot into your recovery, click on Advanced -> Adbsideload and Swipe to activate it)
Step 2: Connect you device with your computer and check, if your device is successfully conntected to adb devices.
Step 3: Type "adb sideload SuperSU.zip, after the installation, reboot your system.
Step 4: Finished installing root. Have fun
