Hello, I have a SGH-I337 S4, rooted, running Hyperdrive RLS21, with safestrap . The menu and back capacitive buttons recently stopped working, intermittently. I tried the software update ( *#2663# ), with no luck. I was trying to enable soft keys to always stay on (on the bottom of the screen) , but I couldn't get that working either. I have been using Pie Control, but I am looking for a better solution. This is currently my backup phone.
Does anyone know how to enable soft keys? Or any KK ROMS that allow soft keys to be enabled?
Thanks
It happened to me after I flashed my i337 with stock rooted OK2 room from NC1 kitkat rom. I found a lot of posting about missing soft back and menu key after they got their lollipop update, but I did not find any working solution for me. I tried to use softkey enabler but it made my screen smaller and sometime the phone refused to turn on. Had to press power button about 10 sec to turn the phone on. So I odin back to NB1, rooted, installed flashfire and flash the stock rooted OC4 rom and the softkeys are working again. I am sure it is not the answer you were looking for but I just want to let you know what I did.
Thanks for the info. I tried your method, but they still stop working at random times. I tried softkey enabler, it would install, but never show the soft keys. The keys started to act up on their own (it wasn't right after an update)

If you'd tried my method, the softkeys should be working after you odin the NB1. The was no issued reporting for softkeys on kit-kat. If yours are not working in kit-kat there might be a hardware issue then.
After installed the softkey enabler, the phone need to be rebooted. The softkey enabler shrink the display in order to show their softkey in the bottom of the screen.
I do believe that it's a hardware issue. They would randomly stop working on stock NB1.
I installed softkey enabler, and got an error message (Unfortunately, The Android system has stopped). I had restore a backup to get it working again. I installed Navigation Bar from Developer "Just Relax" from the playstore, and that seems to be my best option.
Hi, I have Exynos chipset s4 I was using xposed framework with Gravitybox. you can enable navbar softkeys from gravity box but is permanently solution. (Camera app has little dpi issue)

OK instalL. GBox for KK and downgrade version.
Alright, i got it working. It seems like gravitybox doesn't play well with the Rom I was using (Hyper drive). I restored an old backup i had of stock rooted nc1 and it works. Now i just have to decide if having the navigation bar is worth using a stock rom.

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?

This is the 3rd time i format my phone and until i install wanam i have no issues, but when i do i always get bootloops. Whats happens is i install wanam and reboot to apply settings and then it boot normally, i see the lockscreen and the it turns off and boots directly to samsung letters and hangs there, could hang there for 5, 10, 20 minutes, then it boots back into the lockscreen and then hangs on samsung letters again. Tried clearing cache, nothing. I'm giving up on this wanam...anybody knows how to troubleshoot the issue?

somethings dont work on wanam maybe one of them is bootlooping i know [fake system status] will bootloop

yes, fakesystemstatus was the first thing i activated...i will try to reinstall everything and not touch that
Alright so i started theming, basically just changing a few colors here and there and the same issue happened once again! It hangs on Samsung letters
So the issue is with wanam, i've been running xposed and a few of its modules for the past couple days with no issues, but as soon as wanam goes on, things get problematic
I had both wanam and gravity box running for almost a week with no problem. Last night I thought there were quite a few overlapping settings and maybe I should just stop using one of those two modules. So I unticked wanam in the installer and rebooted.... WAH!! all hell broke loose and the phone just kept rebooting. It must be at least 10 times before it just stopped by itself and stayed on. I quickly went into xposed installer and uninstalled wanam. After that it didn't reboot itself any more. I'm just worried that something might be messed up and I'll need to wipe it clean. Let's hope that it won't be necessary.
So if you're trying to get rid of wanam after reading this thread, just be warned that what happened to me might happen to you too. Then if nothing works, you can always wipe and start again in recovery, stock or cwm.
I just need to mention gravity box here because it does most of what wanam can do and some more. There is even a mod to toggle flash led on the lock screen with the home key, instead of using the volume up key. Also most of the settings are activated without rebooting. Give it a try and you won't regret it.

GB is meant for AOSP-based roms - stock Android, or close to it - TouchWiz is definitely not that. Wanam is essentially the TW-equivalent of GB.
Well that's why I installed wanam first, then I read here someone was using it on his note3 and it works alright. So I tried it too and it's been problem free so far.

I have xblast toolls installed. Same problem here with bootloop after install.
I have 5 Modules installed and it seems there's a bootloop for every mod installed. I think it reboots after the mod is run and then moves on to the next mod. It eventually boots into lock screen and stays there but it can take a while...
I have 2 modules installled, wanam and greenify. Every time i change a setting in wanam and reboot, it get bootloop. Left it there for 2 hours yesterday and it never booted back in OS. Although i have found that clearing dalvik and cache maked it loop only once and then it boots back in OS

Strange. No issues here. I installed xposed, updated and then rebooted. Then played a lot with wanam, rebooted for like 10 times. No issues.

Hello, I am successfully running rooted KitKat and trying to get the g2 xposed to work. I don't get any errors installing and applying xposed or downloading modules, but when I restart my device it just says that the latest xposed framework is not currently active. Have tried reinstalling the framework and the modules many times to no avail. Anyone else having trouble or a fix?
Bump
It is very annoying having this update as I have gotten used to my menu button on the left and back on the right, as well as 380dpi (can't fix the camera and messaging apps without xposed)

Seems it's a know issue on the Xposed thread. I can confirm it doesn't work for me either and I'm hoping for a fix soon.
the current version of xposed (as of this post) does not work with the LG G2 variation of kitkat. The next version of xposed will. However, the "g2 xposed" module will also have to be updated...
I miss the you tube full screen mode for now and also hate too many notification on the status bar. Rest everything love the Kitkat
I use a Galaxy Note 3 I9505 which is rooted with towelroot. I have SuperSU and XPosed installed. Since yesterday I noticed that the statusbar icon colors that I'd changed using XBlast (Alarm, WIFI , time etc...) had gone back to default white color. Today I checked Xposed and it said there was a new update available so I went to Install/Update and the phone rebooted. Since that restart, I always get a popup "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and if I press OK it comes back again. The homescreen background keeps changing colors from blue to black during these popups. Nothing happens when I touch icons ... the popup keeps coming back. And if the screen goes locked its completely dark and I cant see anything until I remove the battery and turn on again.
Please help asap ..

Deactivate and clear data for all your Xposed Modules and reinstall your Xposed Framework.
There should be an Xposed-Disabler.zip on your sdcard, flash that in recovery using the Install update option so that you can access the above.
I can't click on any icons ... swiping doesnt do anything ... the popup keeps coming back and all I can click is "ok" on the popup
Sorry I'm new to these things.. could you please explain the steps on how to go into and recovery and what should be done?

Try this: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-disable-xposed-installer/
You could always factory reset in recovery.
To get to recovery on your device...hold down Power + Vol Up + Home, when fully powered off.
Thanks, I thought factory reset was the best option and it works fine now.
Just wondering, is the phone still rooted after a factory reset?

If SuperSU is installed in /system, yes it is. If not just reinstall and it's all good.

Install new fimware or this same you have and uncheck 'wipe data' in flashtool if you want your data
