Xposed Issues on Nexus 6? Try this! *Not needed on Alpha 2

As of March 8th, 2015, rovo89 has updated the Xposed framework to Alpha 2, removing the need to have SELinux set to permissive.
So me and a few other guys over in the Xposed Thread were having issues getting our Nexus 6 devices to run the new Xposed Alpha properly. It kept throwing out errors that Xposed wasn't installed and modules didn't work. After a bunch of trial and error, we figured out how to make it work (at least for us)! So if you're having similar issues, try this workaround until Xposed is updated to fix this (although it may be a Nexus 6 error only).
Note: Make sure you already have Xposed installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118
Here's a list of which modules are working or not working for some people.
Although these modules have been reported to be functional for some users, the modules may behave differently on our device.
Method 1
1. Make sure SELinux is set to Permissive. You can set it to permissive using this root app, if your kernel isn't permissive by default. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux
2. When rebooting into your system after setting SELinux to permissive, enable the Xposed modules that you want.
3. From inside the Xposed app, perform a soft reboot.
4. When the device fully boots up, Xposed should now be fully working. If you still have issues, converting Xposed to a system app might help.
Method 2 Thanks to skaforey
1. Download this script from post #65
2. Extract the file to the root of your sdcard.
3. Using a Terminal Emulator, type the following commands:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/
sh initd.sh
4. Reboot and Xposed should now be working without a soft reboot needed.
Method 3
1. Flash one of the these zips, which does the same thing as Method 2, but easier! Thanks to both 4got and rootSU
Both files do the same thing
Zip 1 (by 4got)
Zip 2 (by rootSU)
2. Everything should be fully working now!
Not all ROM/Kernel configurations support init.d scripts!
Method 4
1. Use a kernel that's been set to permissive by default. Please don't bother/annoy devs to make their kernels permissive.
Here's a version of LeanKernel modified by Imoseyon to be permissive be default.
LeanKernel (Permissive)
2. Everything should be working. Flashing another kernel will disable Xposed again, unless the kernel is permissive or you fallback on other methods.
Method 5 Thanks to flar2 and shivindera.
Required SuperSU to be installed.
This method differs from Method 3 because the script to set SELinux to permissive is located in /system/su.d (instead of init.d) and allows for compability with more ROM/Kernel configurations. This post by flar2 will better explain what this script does.
1. Flash this zip by shivindera.
2. Everything should be working
Note: For advanced users who already have files in /system/su.d/ please remove the "delete" line from the updater-script so as to not lose any of your already pre-existing files.
Please post here if it worked for you. So far for us over at the Xposed thread, it seems to have worked. Thanks guys! Enjoy your modules!

The problem I imagine is that xposed activates on boot before the selinux mode changer changes the permissive flag. The soft reboot doesnt envoke the default mode as a full boot does, so the mode changer app has already done what is needed.. On the n5 we had a permissive kernel by @sykopompos. I imagine if we had that, we wouldn't need the soft reboot. Is there such a thing for the n6?

I'm sure it could be made. I guess it's up to the kernel devs to make the default permissive.
EDIT: I was reading the Xposed thread, and you're right! Xposed runs at boot, but SELinux Changer sets SELinux to Permissive after Xposed runs, which is why a soft reboot works, because your restarting Xposed while SELinux is at Permissive. So yes, a kernel set to permissive to default will do the trick without this workaround.

Dude this worked! Thanks so much!

Worked for me too!

Worked here!

Yes. Read above.

I think Kernel Devs won't do such a thing, flar2 for example said for his ElementalX Kernel he won't set it to Permissive for various Reason. I imagine other Devs have a similar Opinion.
But I'm sure rovo will fix it in time

I'm sure he will not sure how though. We can't delay xposed start up because ART is not JiT so all instructions run at boot rather than when you run a "command"

Nope. I did manage to bork my app drawer lol. Might be the theme update though.

Yep this made it work. Thanks. However does that mean when we boot we will then have to soft boot to get it enabled everytime until either rovo fixes it somehow or kernel debs set their default to SELinux permissive?

changing musicfx back and forth didn't change the sound. but I know that the sound changed following the instructions and adding permissive option on selinux so maybe removing the file from the directory affected this?

I also followed the steps from the 5x forum and I am unable to get the driver to stick. I am rooted the non systemless way.

I had to use rootbrowser to delete the audio_effects.conf permanently. Once I did that, it worked

Does viper4android give us system wide audio control? Such as allowing us to change the gain on the top/bottom speakers?
Edit: Dw I found out it does. Just need to root and get it now then.

I'm having constant problems keeping this working. I did everything told in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63486621&postcount=7 yet every other day I get the issue of going into Google Music, playing music, and when I try to go to settings to get to Viper EQ, the music stops and Viper tells me all of a sudden that the driver isn't installed again (when it definitely was and was working fine).
Also, lately when I go into the SELinuxModeChanger app, it shows Enforcing is chosen, even right after I change it to Permissive. It keeps changing back on its own, even after root permissions are granted.
This wasn't happening until recently.
Running Elemental X's kernel if that matters.
Any ideas?

So I couldn’t wait any more so this weekend I rooted and got my Viper ON. Viper is one of the main reasons that I root. This is what I did:
1) I get TWRP and rooted by doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
2) Now that I’m rooted, I get busy box working
3) I didn’t need to change my SEL Mode by doing this.
4) I Boot into TWRP and I flashed the attach zip. “ViPER4Android-supolicy.zip”
5) Disable MusicFX and then I went into system/vendor/etc and killed “audio_effects.conf”
6) Open Viper and install best Driver
7) I had to re-flash the zip 2-3 times without wiping before I got it working.
Now my 6P is on MDB08M, Crypted, enforcing mode with TWRP and rooted with Viper.

Is there a way to get the security updates and have stock rooted?

I would like to have my phone rooted but i like stock and i like having the security updates. is there a way to have my cake and eat it too?

Short answer is No.
This is my first android phone which I didn't root it and see no reason to do so.

First and main reason for my to root, Titanium Backup.

then i guess if i was going to distill this down to what im really trying to get at is, i passionatly hate ads, they completely ruin my mobile experience and i just wanted to filter them out. is there a non-rooted way to do this?
also i like changing the hostname of my device so i can identify it on networks easily...

I rooted just so I can use Adaway. It's worth it to me.

I was thinking this too but apparently titanium backup can create flashable zips so in theory you can do that, flash the zip to restore apps and never need root access in the actual app.

Can you unlock bootloader, boot twrp (not flash, just fastboot boot twrp.img), create the hosts symlink with adb shell, reboot, then change the hosts source in adaway settings?

Are you sure about that? I am rooted with adaway and have no problems with mms. I don't see how adaway could possibly affect your ability to sent SMS or mms.
As far as the security updates are concerned, download the image and manually flash system, vendor, and bootloader for each update. I am on the November update as a result

I remember reading that chainfire was working on a beta root method that does not modify the system partition. In this case, you may be able to unlock bootloader --> flash twrp --> flash root --> flash stock recovery and be able to accept security updates? Just a thought. My plan is to flash stock recovery once security patches are released, then reroot if necessary.
Honestly, I really didnt want to root this phone but two things changed my mind: CF Lumen and the potential to set up one handed mode using xposed modules.

Just flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344 which is the systemless root, works with Android Pay so I dont see why it wouldn't work with a system update as long as you have the stock recovery.

Yes it was definitely Ad-Away. Tried using different messaging apps. Once I removed Ad-Away it MMS worked again. Something about it was blocking the MMS portion, regular SMS was fine.

Interesting. What carrier do you use? The only thing I can think of is that somehow your mms data is coming from a domain that is being blocked by adaway (which would be very strange...) If that is the case then you could whitelist the domain in adaway once you determined what domain it is.
OP: One thing to keep in mind with systemless root, it does not work with all programs because some programs have hardcoded paths to SU. This is why I have stuck to traditional root for the highest compatability. The tradeoff being that I have to manually flash the security updates. Not a huge deal as it takes five minutes out of my life and data is preserved.

Hiding root for media apps

I'm not interested in trying to use Android Pay on a rooted device, but would like to use DirecTV Now and Netflix if they check for root. I know DirecTV Now does not work. I tried the app to hide root with no success. Is the only other option to try to go the suhide route? I don't really need root, but I had to add a line to my build.prop to enable hot spot. I would remove root if it meant I didn't have to restore my device losing the build.prop changes.

Hmm... I was planning on re-rooting soon, perhaps I will do it with Magisk and update my root tutorial.

I was prepping myself to give up root, especially with some of the newer DNS based ad blockers (not requiring root), the ability to get Android Pay working, etc... but as soon as I saw Magisk, it sort of solved all the problems and meant there really isn't anything you need to be unrooted for that you can't do rooted.

DNS66. Works system wide by redirecting DNS traffic to a VPN that filters out advertisers. It uses some of the same published lists as adaway. I installed it on my kids unrooted moto G4. No complaints, seems to be working as expected with minimal overhead, and no root required.

AdGuard is very good....And I've tried BlockThis which isnt bad. Arter97 patches the YouTube app to remove ads. You can find that on XDA

DNS66 works very well and light on resources. I used it up until I rooted my phone. I have installed it on my wife's phone (she won't let me root) and she loves it. Best part: it's open source and free.
