Constant Cache Clearing

Does anyone else need to constantly clear the cache in TWRP to get the phone to boot or apps to load? I wouldn't mind having to do this if with ART optimizing didn't take so damn long.
Anyone have any thoughts on cause/fix?

I would first try to uninstall all xposed apps and reboot. If that works, add back each one at a time. A bad install of xposed app can create this.

Problem after root..HELP

So I was on the stock marshmallow ROM and decided to root and so after that I got a google play service force close error and then it wouldn't let me download Facebook and some other apps. So I wiped clean and flashed pure nexus and flashed the 2.47 (I think it was) Super user root .zip and still same issue. Anyone know why its doing this ? I can't even open Facebook ..it closes and gives me the google play services error.
Edit: now Snapchat instantly closes and says Snapchat has stopped

I just flashed that but same issue ..but noticed xposed works now with this
I tried 3 different Roms and Google play store keeps force closing when I try to install Facebook. If I install Facebook apk from Google it doesn't always open. And Snapchat won't open it just crashes...I don't know what to do ..did I not decrypt it or whatever ? I remember is asked Me for a password in twrp but I clicked back arrow and wiped..I never typed the password ..can that be why?

Are data and cache all you wiped? You should wipe system and dalvik cache too before flashing a ROM. Also, which gapps did you flash?

I don't use Xposed but I'm guessing there's a thread for it in the general section for this device.
use http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
that tool is amazing.

it will fix his softbricked phone with two clicks, he deosn't need most of what it can do, but its still the easiest way for him to fix it. Let him decide what to do.
This is the xposed version you want to use. I would suggest downloading the factory image and running the batch file in it. Then setting the phone up from there. also use the latest supersu 2.76 from HERE

Easiest doesn't mean best. A toolkit bypasses any learning that's required to keep this from happening again. Plus it's better to know how you're fixing something, a toolkit removes that.

Xposed on Huawei Ascend XT

I have system-less root on my Huawei Ascend XT and also system-less Xposed installed and working. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70512435&postcount=3 for Xposed installation instructions I used.
Let's discuss anything regarding Xposed and modules in this thread .
Thanks, divineBliss
EDIT: WARNING: NOTE: CAUTION:
Please be aware that if you install Xposed framework on your XT, at times the phone won't boot correctly as evidenced by the fact that if you try to go to bring up the phone settings window/app, the screen will just flicker and the settings screen won't open. The simple solution is to just reboot the phone. Sometimes it takes multiple reboots before the phone successfully reboots/settings app can be successfully opened. This issue has been experienced by me and several others who installed Xposed framework on the XT.
For me personally, the advantages of using Xposed modules far outweigh this minor inconvenience which only happens after a phone reboot.
Not running xposed yet but have there been any issues or maybe a list of what works and doesn't? I'd like to know what others are getting from xposed.

I got Xposed modules that let me listen to YouTube with app YouTube app minimized and even screen off.
And another module to adjust YouTube volume/scroll video by swiping on video screen.
See
http://www.howtogeek.com/263663/how...k-for-frustration-free-android-customization/
I used Magisk to install Xposed framework.
Also see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70472229&postcount=488
Some how Xposed didn't install right, It wasn't working so I uninstalled it. My phone started to boot to recovery mode. Couldn't get passed it. I went into TWPR and recovered the Boot backup that TWRP installs to your internal. It "worked" but whenever it booted back to the home screen I got a black screen with nothing but for my notification bar and soft keys.
I tried to use my Backup from whenever I rooted but they are not showing up. I backed them up onto my computer so I put them onto my SD card and they are still not showing up in TWRP
1. After you installed Xposed with Magisk and rebooted the phone, what happened?
2. Did you wait about 30 minutes if the screen was dark or on the boot logo?
3. Go into TWRP and make sure you selected external SD for source. Use the TWRP file manager to make sure you it can access external SD - specifically the folder where you put the TWRP backup.

1. It was working great for about 20mins than everything started to freeze up and crash. Everything before was working great.
2. Yes, it only took around 10mins to boot back up.
3. I did that and my SD card is showing up. What file should the backups be in? I'm thinking I should make another backup than place the ones I have into that file.
I'm wondering if it is something with my launcher. I get Notification bar with everything and Soft key but nothing else.
1. After it booted up fine for 20 minutes, what did you do during that 20 minutes before it crapped out?
2 . So after you installed Xposed Framework with Magisk, the phone booted up fine within 10 minutes?
3. Yes, go back into TWRP and backup just the recovery so you see what directory it creates, then put your original TWRP backup into a similar parallel directory and see what happens.
What launcher are you using?

I did 3. Took about 5mins to reboot. No launcher but luckily I had a pop up for updates so I was able to get into store to download a launcher.
imma try to download one.
It just says Download Pending nothing else.
Did you just restore a TWRP backup? Rooted backup or before root backup? Why was there no launcher in this backup?

I thought I froze the stock launcher I think I may have deleted it. The stock launcher is found in the System files since it's read only I can not restore the system.
I thought I placed the stock recovery on my phone but I guess not. I still have super user and root.
I just checked my root with rootchecker and its working perfectly.
You can check or uncheck the box when TWRP starts to make System writable and you need to do that now to restore your System backup from TWRP. If you made a backup after rooting, you could try to restore that.

Yes, it's working again!!
I learned be very very careful removing Xposed and do not remove or freeze the stock launcher.
If you are restoring from a older backup and it doesn't show up. Make a new backup (I did cache only back up so I could tell the difference easier) on your SD Card. It should create a folders called
TWRP/BACKUP/(folder with 8 different letters and numbers) / (Then your new backup file)
Place your old backup folder under the new one. It will now show up in TWRP.
It's safe to restore a backup with root and super user. Takes around 10mins first boot.
Now that you have mastered restoring in 10 minutes, try Xposed again. I got it installed first try with Magisk. .
Every time I boot, I click the settings icon to make sure it works. Sometimes the screen just flashes and no settings screen comes up, so I just reboot. I'm not sure if that's caused by Xposed or what at this point, but it's not worth uninstalling Xposed for me to find out at this point.

I honestly think Magisk uninstall was what crashed my phone. I think I may have uninstalled it wrong. From the guide I read it said download the uninstall go into custom recovery and open the zip. I just thought it was Xposed because that's when my system started freezing.
divineBliss said:
Thanks, these details are important. So make a backup of Boot, System, and Data (and be sure you already have a good backup of Cust somewhere) if you want to try installing Xposed again. Depending on what else you do, you should only need to restore System if things get messed up trying to install Xposed again. And again, I have it installed with Xposed modules working, so it's possible.

Does installing Xposed even touch the system? It looked like it modifies the boot but doesn't touch the system.
The Xposed install is supposed to be system-less, and you get did things working by only restoring Boot, that's why I said probably just Boot needs to be restored. If things didn't work after that, I'd restore System, and then if still not working, restore Data after that.
If you do try and reinstall Xposed, can you take notes on where it takes a long wait before something happens ........ I forgot to do that and don't remember now. It's not fun when the screen goes dark and you don't expect it ....... actually I seem to remember that happening for like 30 minutes ??? when I install Magisk/Xposed ........ the screen wasn't even on.

I'm going to install it manually. I think Magisk was what missed up my phone last time so I rather go that path then taking the chance at missing something up again.
I'm going to install sdk23 should I install arm arm64 or x86.
I don't believe our phone is a 32bit system so x86 is out. I think arm64? Correct?
Yes, arm64. Take notes and good luck . Do you have a link on how to install it manually?

Go to system/app/app/SamsungIMEv3_SYSTEMUID_XT9/ and remove the .apk. Then put the apk you have downloaded in that folder and set correct permissions ( take a look at other apk permission for example). Then go to recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache and then reboot.
Let me know if you still have problems.

I have made a flashable zip containing the whole folder.
Here it is: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120703393 .
Go to TWRP, mount /system and then flash this zip. Then wipe cache & dalvik-cache and reboot.
I made the flashable zip quick, hopefully you wont have issues lol.

Please, can U answer me: I do not have phone with me right now, cuz it is friends phone, i did installed above Stock Nougat 7.1.1 Rom which name is Odyssey Nougat Rom on J5 2016 FN. Now, my friend like that Rom but he doesn't like Samsung Keyboard port from N8... He need keyboard like it was on Stock Rom or one which looks like Xperia Phonepad keyboard. I tried everything, installed Xperia apk keyboard, but nothing works. Keyboard shows on System/Language and Keyboard settings but can not be activated.... That is shorter story Any help would be really appreciated. Thank U very much. Just in case, ill post this post on some other treads or/and on separate thread as well.
I finally downloaded the .apk for my Samsung J5 2016 (later a whole folder, because I realised that it was removed; TWPR closes ) but I can't install it Paidverts.apk that I've installed the same way (not from Play store) works...
What (else) can I do? Thanks for your help.
