So I'm on 4.4 KitKat with the Google Experience Launcher and can't activate Google Now. I'm using PA Gapps 4.4. I can't use Titanium backup to uninstall it because I'm on ART. So I don't know what to do...
I tried changing languages but that didn't work. I tried setting a reminder so it gives me the option, but still it just crashes back to the homescreen.

Do you have the latest Google Search installed? Download it from the Play Store.
ART is still very experimental. It may cause a lot of bugs. Try switching to Dalvik. Does the problem persist?

Yes the problem persists. I had this problem on 4.3 PA GAPPS too. I switched back to dalvik to use Titanium to uninstall it and then re-install it but that still didn't work. What I usually do is, uninstall updates, activate Gnow and then install the latest version, however I cannot uninstall updates....I need to find a way to get the stock Gnow version.
If you're using the Google launcher you have the latest version, Google Now is the launcher itself. It should be enabled as long as you have the GmsCore, downloaded your offline speech recognition package, and logged into your PlayStore account.
If you are using ART, you need to make sure to use the odexed gapps package for it to be compatible.

It was working when I was using GEL on 4.3. As soon as I flashed GAPPs 4.4 and PA 4.4 I had no way of enabling it. ART or dalvik doesn't have anything to do with it.

The problem is not Root. It works fine with root.
When you go to log into Snapchat, it checks to see if xposed is installed. If it is, it will say there is a problem and will not log you in. You should check your rom to see if it is installed (the files may be there but the app may not).
If i was you, i would clear the snapchat data and then uninstall it. Then, download the "uninstall zip" for xposed. You may say it is not installed, however, elements may still be there. running this in recovery will remove all files. When that has been flashed, you can then install snapchat. Once logged into snapchat, you can then return to recovery and install xposed if you want.
I am currently running snapchat with root and exposed. It will work.

Okay. But snapchat does not have issues with root. What custom Rom are you running if any? Just asking as stopping root will disable xposed, therefore allow the use of snapchat.

Hi guys I am having the very same issue. I initially rooted my s7 edge and snapchat was working until recently after accidentally logging out. I now can't login to snapchat!
I do not have xposed installed on my phone so it can't be completely because of root.
How do I unroot my phone? and will this mean I need to create a backup of my phone?
Thanks!
***** app
I just installed Renovate Edge 3.3 and snapchat doesn't work. Any solutions?
I don't have xposed, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I'm the one who asked the question 2 posts below yours. I have managed to install Snapchat finally after a whole day or searching.
So... yes you have to unroot and reinstall the stock firmware. This will wipe everything off your phone, so yes you have to back your phone up.
After you unroot, you have to log into Snapchat, backup Snapchat up with Titanium, root and install your custom rom and then restore Snapchat with Titanium.
It worked for me. Now I have Renovate Edge 3.3 ROM and the latest update of Snapchat.
As for unrooting, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69426561&postcount=5
Note: Unrooting doesn't fix Knox trip (warranty stays void)
How do you backup using titanium when you have no root

Thanks for that. I never installed a custom rom although i really would like to. I'm new to the roit world and customisation rom wise so need to do some research on it. At the moment I'm using my s5 as a play toy for customisation.
Regarding the SC i just fully unrooted my s5 then logged in to SC. After doing so i created a back up using Titanium back up. Then transfered data across to my s7 edge and restored data which allowed me to log in. I could have just unrooted my s7 edge, then logged in and then re-root but as a noob didn't want to risk any data loss from s7 edge.
What would you suggest as a good custom rom for the s7 edge? I'm using stock rom and don't currently have twrp installed (I'm still new on twrp front and benefits of it too).
Thanks!
Ignore the instructions about unrooting and reflashing stock firmware..
All you have to do is uninstall Snapchat, uninstall Xposed. Reboot phone. Install snapchat and login, go into Titanium Backup and backup the "app data."
Then install Xposed, reboot, restore the data of Snapchat via Titanium Backup and your set. I used to run into this issue all the time when rooted and using Xposed
I have unrooted my s7 edge and flashed stock rom and the problem is solved in my device.

No problem. I thought you had installed a custom rom. Since you hadn't, unrooting would do the trick. In my case, it didn't work. I had to go back to stock firmware and then use Titanium.
As for a good custom rom, I've only tried Renovate Edge. It's pretty awesome. I did some research and compared popular roms and found out it's one of the 1st built roms for S7 edge and is still considered one of the best.

Hello, I always used Greenify in my devices, but with J5 I've a big problem, I'm not able to use it anymore. I don't have root and I don't want to use it, so I use Greenify non-root mode. It worked for 2 days, but then it has stopped working. The app asked me to activate it in accessibility settings, but when I do it there's a message that says "Settings has stopped working". I can't hibernate apps anymore, and I don't want to root my phone. I'm on Samsung Stock lollipop and I already tried a data factory reset, I also flashed last firmware with odin, nothing to do. In Marshmallow there isn't this problem but I don't want to upgrade, I also tried to clear data and chache or to uninstall Greenify. Is there a fix? Help!

You need to install a TTS, like GoogleTTS. Then choose GoogleTTS at language settings if i remember properly and then the problem is gone. I had same problem in past, and after i googled, i got this answer which solved my problem.
Im not sure, but i think Greenfy does slow down the phone over time. I always used it, even now, but ill check about this on google sometime.

You don't need root lol. Just check Google Play for Google TTS and install it, or download it from apkmirror if you don't have gapps. Then put it on in settings like I told you in my previous post.

Hello, I have a problem with apps that need safetynet passed to get it working. Such as Snapchat or Pokemon GO. Second one actually does work sometimes, but the first one is giving me massive headache. I'm asking how to pass this test on roms based on LineageOS. I have tried to unroot it with no luck. Unrooting and systemless root also doesn't work. I've heard somewhere that locking bootloader could be a possible solution to that. But, how to lock it?

As far as I know, Snapchat only has a problem with Xposed. Unable to comment on pokemon, never used it.
I installed and logged in to snapchat on a phone without Xposed, then used TB and copied the files to my phone with Xposed.
Everything works as it should. If that's not possible then uninstall Xposed first and reinstall it after you have snapchat.

I do not have Xposed. The trick with TB doesn't work for me anymore. I've tried to do backup on Touchwiz and CM 13 and then restore them on Lineage 14.1. No one worked, Snapchat tells to log in first. it is the only app I need to use, but I'm in love with Lineage.

Kind of. We are not able to log in into Snapchat on Lineage OS 14 yet. However, I've discovered a possible way to use the app,. This method has been working for me for last couple of days.
Every single time you want to install Lineage and use Snapchat you have to install Touchwiz based firmware that you can log in into the app on, simply log in, root the device, install Titanium Backup and make a backup of Snapchat. Copy the backup on the sd card. Then install Lineage OS, Snapchat, Titanium Backup, try to log in into Snapchat. I know it will say it can't connect to the server. Now restore backup of Snapchat via Tïtanium Backup - data only. Enjoy working Snapchat.
From what I've seen Snapchat makes little updates of user stats every 24h. Because you can't use backup older than 24hours otherwise it will not work. I am not sure about the exact time it's collecting stats. But a fresh backup works every time. It is very important to do a fresh backup and do a one try to log in into Snapchat.
I do not use Android Pay or Pokemon anymore.

It depends on whether you want to stick with Touchwiz or flash LineageOS. Every stock firmware let you log in to Snapchat without installing or flashing anything. Snapchat works on phone straight out of box.
Guide for snapdragon touchwiz
As I mentioned earlier, Snapchat works on every stock firmware. You do not need anything else. Just install Snapchat and log in, simple as that. Now, if you want to flash a custom TOUCHWIZ based rom it shouldn't be a problem to log in to the app. Even though it's custom rom, you're still able to log in. You do not need any backups at all.
Guide for snapdragon LineageOS
LineageOS is not a touchwiz based rom. Snapchat will never work on it until it gets official and be signed. If you want to install one of the builds and have Snapchat working you need to fo following steps:
1. Your phone needs to have a stock firmware (that is the one that comes out of the box, but also the ones you flash with odin)
2. Log in to Snapchat
3. Root your phone (for example using CF-Auto Root), you do not need recovery twrp to root your phone.
4. Turn your phone on
5. Install Titanium Backup, open it, do a backup of Snapchat
6. Open "My Files" that's stock file manager for Samsung's phones, go to your phone's storage search for Titanium Backup folder, open it and you'll see three files.
7. Copy all of them to your sd card.
8. Install custom recovery (like twrp), flash LineageOS, gapps
9. Log in to your Google account, download Snapchat, try to log in (I know it's going to fail, but it's important)
10. Go to LineageOS -> About phone -> Click a few times on Build number until it say you unlocked developer options
11. Go back to main settings menu, scroll down to the bottom, you'll see now Developer options, click on it
12. Search for "Root Access", click on it and select Apps and ADB
13. Install Titanium Backup, open it and close.
14. Open "Files" app, that's stock LineageOS file manager
15. Go to your sd card, select the files you backup (three files) and copy them to phone's storage -> Titanium Backup folder
16. Open Titanium Backup again, click on Snapchat -> restore -> data only.
17. Now you can open Snapchat and enjoy it.
Hope that help you

ok thanks bro, I have one more question, what is lineageOS all about, is it new or something? how come I would choose lineageOS over say touchwiz. what is the major differences? is it like CM roms vs normal roms, quicker, less bloatware, better battery life etc? or am I wrong about CM roms vs normal roms? tbh I don't even know the difference between auroa/cm/touchwiz.
do you have a short explanation of lineageOS for me? because from what I can tell, I should be definitely going lineageOS as it's more supported right now. I used to use omega rom on my old note 4 but support left, and I liked that rom except for random reboots and slightly poor battery life that I can kind of remember.
I'm so sorry man for asking stupid questions. I love customing my note 4 but I don't know exactly what I'm doing haha. I just know I love the extra features that aren't on stock, xposed being a major.
thank you man!

LineageOS is a continuation of CM, since CM stopped being developed and die. It's just CM with new name. LineageOS 14.1 is based on Android 7.1.1, which is the latest you can get right now. The major differences are speed, no bloatware, battery life is the same as stock touchwiz rom. The most important one is speed, I've never seen anything that fast as this is. The builds these days can be daily drivers since our developers fixed 95% of bugs. I can recommend you builds by @ripee he got links to them in the signature(triltexx), download pico google gapps and you're good to go.
The difference between auroa/cm/touchwiz. Correct way to list them is port roms/lineageOS/note 4 roms based on stock firmware. Port roms are ones that people port from other device such as S7, Note 5. It's still touchwiz right, but it's a port. That means it's made to work on our Note 4's. These days ports like Aurora / Norma are pretty much fully working apart from things like fingerprint scanner. LineageOS(old name - CM) - just read above. Note 4 roms based on stock firmware - that means developers use stock Note 4 firmware and they edit it. An example of that kind of rom is rom by ALEXNDR. It's a rock solid rom. Stock firmware, options to install with/without root or xposed and debloated. it is fully working because it's made on stock firmware for our devices.
I think you're be very happy with ripee builds of LineageOS, he makes them every day and uploads. Not a single random reboot or freeze, battery life 4-5 hours of SOT.
If you got any further questions, just ask. I'd love to answer you the best I can.

Stock firmware, options to install with/without root or xposed and debloated. it is fully working because it's made on stock firmware for our devices.
I think you're be very happy with ripee builds of LineageOS, he makes them every day and uploads. Not a single random reboot or freeze, battery life 4-5 hours of SOT.
If you got any further questions, just ask. I'd love to answer you the best I can.

quality help mate, I really appreciate it. I'll go with lineageOS and go through the snapchat process on it (already worried I'm gonna screw up lol) but I'll give it a go.
one thing I've always hated was updates, I'd always had to fresh install, losing my calendar setup and over phone layout setup, settings, everything. I always wanted to dirty flash on an update but people said don't, what are your thoughts on ripees build?
so I'm gonna go through the process and do it over the next week, I got a lot on so can't transfer over from my lg v20 to note 4. I got the wrong damn lg v20 which has no roms or support lol...
I'm looking at emotionOS, what are your thoughts on it? I kind of want the extra features that a basic CM won't have. what you reckon?

It depends on whether you want to stick with Touchwiz or flash LineageOS. Every stock firmware let you log in to Snapchat without installing or flashing anything. Snapchat works on phone straight out of box.

As I mentioned earlier, Snapchat works on every stock firmware. You do not need anything else. Just install Snapchat and log in, simple as that. Now, if you want to flash a custom TOUCHWIZ based rom it shouldn't be a problem to log in to the app. Even though it's custom rom, you're still able to log in. You do not need any backups at all.
Guide for snapdragon LineageOS
LineageOS is not a touchwiz based rom. Snapchat will never work on it until it gets official and be signed. If you want to install one of the builds and have Snapchat working you need to fo following steps:
1. Your phone needs to have a stock firmware (that is the one that comes out of the box, but also the ones you flash with odin)
2. Log in to Snapchat
3. Root your phone (for example using CF-Auto Root), you do not need recovery twrp to root your phone.
4. Turn your phone on
5. Install Titanium Backup, open it, do a backup of Snapchat
6. Open "My Files" that's stock file manager for Samsung's phones, go to your phone's storage search for Titanium Backup folder, open it and you'll see three files.
7. Copy all of them to your sd card.
8. Install custom recovery (like twrp), flash LineageOS, gapps
9. Log in to your Google account, download Snapchat, try to log in (I know it's going to fail, but it's important)
10. Go to LineageOS -> About phone -> Click a few times on Build number until it say you unlocked developer options
11. Go back to main settings menu, scroll down to the bottom, you'll see now Developer options, click on it
12. Search for "Root Access", click on it and select Apps and ADB
13. Install Titanium Backup, open it and close.
14. Open "Files" app, that's stock LineageOS file manager
15. Go to your sd card, select the files you backup (three files) and copy them to phone's storage -> Titanium Backup folder
16. Open Titanium Backup again, click on Snapchat -> restore -> data only.
17. Now you can open Snapchat and enjoy it.
Hope that help you

I've rooted, installed flashify to flash twrp but it doesn't install it properly. I restart my phone and it goes automatically to download screen and says at the top in red phone could not boot normally. when in download mode I can't even vol up home power to get to twrp, nothing happens. any ideas why? so I'm stuck on download mode. I can get out if I install twrp on odin but then again when I try to get into recovery it instead goes to download mode and says phone could not boot normally.
I haven't got to flash the rom yet because I can't get twrp installed properly.
you know why? thanks man

I think it is the right time to chat a little through private messeges. I do not want to spam, just a kind of respect for moderators.

Hello, I have a problem with apps that need safetynet passed to get it working. Such as Snapchat or Pokemon GO. Second one actually does work sometimes, but the first one is giving me massive headache. I'm asking how to pass this test on roms based on LineageOS. I have tried to unroot it with no luck. Unrooting and systemless root also doesn't work. I've heard somewhere that locking bootloader could be a possible solution to that. But, how to lock it?

I am going it write it here if anyone is interested.
From what I've heard and read, you can't get Pokemon Go to work on LineageOS now. I've tested it and it's true. We have to wait till LineageOS get official. It will be signed, unrooted and every app that is based on Safetynet test would probably work just fine.
Snapchat works only if you have a backup of it.

I think it is possible and should work. You can also use Package Disabler. You can debloat your phone using it, it doesn't require root.
I've gotten around the xposed snapchat thing by using the SudoHide app and hiding the xposed installer and supersu.

First off, I am no expert at all on this matter. But maybe a different kernel, if ones even available. I haven't had the time to even test lineage out yet, so I'm not familiar as to whether their kernel is permissive or enforcing? But that possible might have something to do with it.
Maybe someone with more details can answer that for us?
Edit: wow, bro. My xda was all fudge up. It was not showing any of these replies that are here. I hope you got that solved. I thought that was a new post, as it showed 0 replies. Didn't mean to reply to old, answered question.
