[Tutorial] Xposed Alpha on XT1053 Lollipop 5.1

I guess someone had to be the guinea pig to see if it works or not, and honestly it was quite a lengthy exploratory process... here are the steps that I performed, you are solely responsible for your own phone and I am not liable for any complications or damage yadda yadda yadda
1) Be sure you have root access and make a TWRP backup before trying any of this
2) Download the Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha4 to your phone
3) Download the Xposed uninstaller arm to your phone
4) Download the Xposed sdk22 arm to your phone
5) Install the Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha4.apk
6) Boot into TWRP and install the Xposed sdk22 arm that you downloaded
7) "Clear dalvik/cache" and then "Reboot System"
8) ???
9) Profit
If you open up the Xposed Installer app and see that there is errors still, check the logs
If you run into any other critical problems (bootloops or system app crashes), you can go back into TWRP and flash the Xposed Uninstaller that you downloaded in step 3, if that doesn't fix it, then you need to restore your phone via the TWRP backup you made in step 1
Happy customizing

Thanks!
Just for a reference, there are new versions of files mentioned in OP.
Edit: Tried the tutorial with the latest versions:
xposed-v65-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150629.zip from here
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from here
...and it works! (XT1052 Retail.DE 5.1)

I added the latest versions to the OP Thanks

v68 does not seem to work. i get gapps crash constantly.
used uninstaller and tried flashing on top of v65 too. Haven't tried on clean firmware.
Edit: i did wipe cache and dalvik everytime, before and after flashing

sometimes the motox would be stuck at boot screen aka bootloop after I install xposed. wipe cache will make it work. Or try to uninstall the xposed with uninstaller. Just write here for a reference.

I edited my post. Also phone always booted, the crash was always after I unlocked the phone

Without modules installed? Are you sure you are running the right xpose for you Android version?

no, i flashed with modules installed but disabled from xposed app. should i remove them? dont want to lose the settings
Enviado desde mi XT1053 mediante Tapatalk

tried again but this time I uninstalled modules, then rebooted normally, reboot to recovery, flash uninstaller, wiped cache & dalvik, rebooted system to see if everything was OK, reboot to recovery again, flashed xposed framework v68, reboot system. SUCCESS.
Finally setup everything from scratch ugh!

I'm not clear on the instructions. I moved the 2 zip folders onto my downloads folder on my XT1060 but they do not appear in downloads. Do I unzip them? How do I install them? Is this done through the computer or the phone?
EDIT: Got it - all on the phone in twrp - had to google a different tutorial.

Lost root after install CM12.1 Temasek

Hi Guys
I just installed the CM12.1 Temasek, but when I check if my phone has root with the root checker leaves me no. Reviewing Internet tells me that in the options menu of programmer should I look for root access but that option dont appears to me, that you should do? or I can fix thi? i realize the update of SuperSU from TWRP and still does not work

Come on seriously. You flash a rom without checking the first post or at least read install instructions.
Warning: spoon feeding incoming:
To gain root access flash supersu file in recovery. Even linked to that file. Twrp doesn't magically root your device without having a file to flash. It's just a false reminder when it sees you have no root access.
Temasek removed the supersu from the rom as you have to do it yourself when you clean install. Get supersu survival after first install so you don't lose it on dirty flashes. Please don't ask how to do that. Just go to supersu settings and look.
Thank you

Chainfire update 2.46
Enviado desde mi SM-N900W8 mediante Tapatalk

What did you update? In other words, what were you on before this?

I always use this one http://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip

Hey,
I too got my root access removed when installed CM ROM but the best way I did to recover my root is using ODIN and CF-AUTORoot files available on internet .
Just go and flash that .tar file and you'll get back your root access

IMO Odin should always be the last step. Flash SuperSU 2.52 from TWRP 2.8.7.0. It will fix whatever causes root to fail automatically

You are probably using older supersu and Twrp files, use the latest ones.
EDIT: Just follow what emuandco said in his last post, should solve the problem right away.

MY QUESTIONS TO CHAINFIRE.... Im losing root

Im using S7 Edge exynos version
Im using cf auto root method to root my device.. Root has been installed successfully... But after two weeks i am losing root.. I've almost reflashed my rom 7 times.. I thought Something is wrong in my side.... But its not... Just to check whether i'm losing root because of other app ..
I haven't installed any app on device.. I enabled and disabled su.. Nothing happens.. I disabled and left the app. When i enter ed the app a pop up message opened asking like su binary needs to be updated... If i click continue... Binary updated failed....
There is no su binary installed and su can't installed..
I also purchased pro version to support development
Why is this happening ?
Will you ever work on this fix ?

If u install the Security Patch from MM 6.01?
Gesendet von meinem SM-G935F mit Tapatalk

So i went to su app to enable it.. When i opened the app message prompted to update su binaries.. I clicked continue...i lost root..
There is no su binaries installed and su cant install it........

Xposed and activated modules

This is the current situation:
Unlocked bootloader in B05 and updated to B08. Everyting fine so far. Playing with GravityBox and adjusted quicksettings settings. After reboot phone wasn't to handle anymore. Screen went on and off and other things. Wiped the device and installed xposed framework again - gravitybox as well and activated it - reboot - stuck on axon 7 boot screen. Tried it several times, but no module can be activated anymore. Installed B09 / B06 all the same. It is now only working in B03.
Hope anyone can help or offer some solutions. Thanks in advance ? ?

Hey Marcus, I assume you have TWRP installed. So go to terminal in TWRP type
Reboot disemmcwp
Then hit enter after phone reboots install Xposed framework again and you should be good to go

Have you installed the no-verity patch? otherwise you won't be able to boot a modified system partition.

It boots, but after activating any module with exposed installer it stucks.
What is the no-verity patch? Never heard so far.

By default the Axon 7 checks for modifications before booting. If anything's modified, you pretty much end up in a bootloop. The no-verity patch lets you work around this feature and prevents the bootloops.

OK. With B03 don't have issues.
Can someone please tell me where to find this patch?
Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk

I had the same situation.
what i do is go to twrp file manager and delete gravitybox folder in data/data.
take carefully what options you check in gravitybox, specially in lockscreen settings.
additionaly, it seems xposed causes some random reboots on my phone.

But it is not only gravitybox. It doesn't matter what kind of module I install. And don't forget that everything was working before I played with gravitybox. So I have to live without it. ??
Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk

That's right I forgot about that. Never could figure out what setting it was. Ended up doing a fresh install and only using couple status bar tweaks pretty much don't touch gravity box anymore.
But you are doing better then me as I could never fully boot since you are able to boot go to apps and delete the data for gravity box. Reboot see what happens

If anyone cares, here's my solution. On all my Phones I had xposed version 86 installed. Now just upgraded to 87 e voila it runs smoothly. ?

Viper4Android version for B29?

I'm on B29 ZadMix and tried to install Viper4Android v2505 ("ViPER4Android_FX_v2505_A4.x-A7.x.apk") and while the apk runs fine, it gives an error about installing the driver. Any suggestions? Is there any special version for the Axon 7?
I did try installing BusyBox first

go to*/vendor/etc/*directory on the device and*rename*audio_effects.confto*audio_effects.conf.bak
Open*ViPER4Android FX*app*on your phone
You’ll get a notification to install V4A driver. Select*YES.

Did not work for me.
I must say also that my r/w does not seem to work since I updated to B29.
I have tried adb reboot disemmcwp and that did not help.

Hey, go to
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=118862
Download ARISE Sound Systems 2.4.zip and install it with TWRP.
Drivers are already included. This shoul help.
Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk

What worked for me
I don't use B29 at the moment, but these steps fixed all my Viper4Android problems (V4a + Dolby Atmos):
0. Dirty-flash B29 to fully uninstall all previous versions of V4A mods.
1. Make sure you're properly rooted, preferably SuperSU (although Magisk works, too)
2. Install BusyBox (again, make sure you install it form within the app itself)
3. Download and install SELinuxModeChanger and switch status to Permissive.
4. i. Download the latest version of V4A from here. It is AROMA-based and by far the easiest method I've ever used to install the package.
ii. Download the Dolby Atmos driver for LeMax 2 from here. The ZIP for Axon 7, surprisingly didn't work for me.
5. Now reboot to recovery and flash the Viper4Arise ZIP first. Kindly choose the New User option from the initial AROMA screen to make sure you get the full details of what you choose to install. After flashing, reboot the device and check driver status from within the app. I should say 'Normal'. To confirm I play an audio in the background and check to make sure 'Processing' : Yes.
EDIT: Step 6 is only for when you're on a custom ROM which doesn't have Dolby by default.
6. The dax_lemax2_v2.2.zip ZIP is for installing the Dolby Atmos Add-On. The official one from V4A, again, didn't work for me. Reboot to recovery and flash that one, too.
Your phone should now have both V4A and Dolby Atmos.

The question is how are you rooted. If you use SuperSU then I would suggest to use this Viper4android. You can use it together with Dolby Atmos from B29 and you can run it while selinux is enforcing. I'm using this setup at B19 (Android 7.1.1) and it works like a charm!
If you're using Magisk you can download the Viper module within the Magisk Manager.
