Xposed for Note 4

Anyone successfully running Xposed on Note 4? I read in another forum that some people on Note 3 ran it and loved it. I installed Xposed framework on my rooted Sprint Note 4, then rebooted, added some modules like Wanam, rebooted again, went into them and applied some tweaks and rebooted again. No tweak worked at all even though several are checked off. Additionally after installing xposed framework I get play services crash messages and the com.android.location or whatever crash messages.
I decided to uninstall xposed framework and mods for now. Anyone have any luck with it?

I have it installed and found that it only broke S Health app until I did the build prop "secure=false" tweet and after that I have not had any problems. I only have one module Unicon to change system icons so not sure if having several modules would break more stuff. As we are only in the early stages of development for the Note I feel no need to push the handset for no reason.

Works fine on my SM-N910F... With Xposed installer installed I have already enabled
call recording and and also installed Wanam Xposed which works fine as well.

I'm running it with xgels, fonter and APM+, no issues other than s health

I'll have to give it another shot and only install one module at a time

I'm also getting lag where the phone will lockup for about 4 seconds ever couple minutes. It's rather annoying.

Is this not the "S-health" issue? Its solvable by freezing shealth or a specific xposed module(a Wanam option I think) I'm sure there's another thread about it somewhere in here.

No not shealth issue...
Like once xpose is enable, the phone can lock up for 5-7 seconds when browsing around. My touches get recognize late. But if i remove xpose all is back to normal it really suck...not sure how to fix it

Yes, I installed that module and it seems to be working again. Thanks for the tip.

It is actually an S-Health issue. Running exposed without modifying the secure storage will cause S-Health's Services hang while checking sensors. That's the reason of the hangs and lags. It has been discussed previously in S5 thread as well as here in General Section.
People solved the issue by either modifying build.prop or using a module called XSecureStorage or something like that.
Reported working method was;
Uninstall Xposed and Reboot
Wipe data of S-Health and Services
Freeze S-Health and Health Services
Install xposed and reboot
Install XSecureStorage and Reboot
Unfreeze S-Health and Services

Major lag with only the framework installed on the Sprint version...

It will lag unless you make the modifications mentioned. The framework itself has compatibility issues with s-health service and secure storage. Once you complete the procedure above lag will vanish.

I has issues with Xposed.. Example Play Stores downloads lagged at somewhere before started installing it. It freezed sometime over 2 minutes and was lagging like hell. Then i did this fix and it's working without problem! Tested with two different Note 4 with same root, xposed+modules and busybox.

Have some lug issues also, not much , but sometimes it happens even after applying fix for SHealth

If I enable xposed, I can't use stock messaging. It forces me to use hangouts for messaging. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I installed the XSecureStorage Xposed module and S-Health and Private Mode are working fine now. No lags. More info here.

Ad block on youtube?

Has anyone had success blocking Youtube ads on stock firmware?
So far I've tried the youtube Adaway xposed module (Link)
Adaway root app (Link)
With MOAB ad block list (link to list from this thread Thread Link)
Sideloading a modded youtube app (Link), doesn't have a TV layout, and no controller support.
Has anyone had any luck blocking youtube ads? I was really hoping the xposed module would work, I've asked on the XDA thread for the module about adding support for android TV youtube and haven't gotten a response.

So now running 3.0 stock (not even rooted). I'm still getting Ad's in youtube, but now they're un-skippable, I hope someone can figure this out soon!

the old adblock android block youtube adds half of the time,but it create tons of other bugs soooo not that good.
root is recomanded

adaway,and adblock Android (not the browser) does it but you need root.
adblock was not updated for a long time I guess...
I am using it on Zulu stock marshmallow rom.

Sucks. I was hoping to keep the device stock as pursuing roms often ends up with other issues and constantly manually updating, and after spending so much time putting roms on my phones I think im done with that.
If anyone has a stock solution, i'll donate, because **** getting 20 identical unskippable ads a day.

adblock browser then watch YouTube from the desktop site. you can set it as the default option in YouTube site itself.
you just need to side load the browser app.
or buy YouTube red.
or pay OG YouTube no add function.

If you are rooted and don't mind installing xposed, since a couple weeks ago youtube adaway module now works with the youtube Android tv app.
Enjoy.

Been watching YouTube app for about an hour now, not one ad.
Stock rom, rooted, using adaway (just the apk, not the browser, not using exposed)
Update....literally watched for hours (3+) yesterday and never saw a single ad.
Btw, I was using MoaAB until recently. I found it was really affecting loading/buffering times with certain addons in SMPC. Redid my entire setup again, this time using just adaway and issues are gone (as well as the ads)

Anyone tried Xposed yet?

Liking the phone so far after owning the OnePlus One then the Two. Thought for the same price, the value of the Axon was several times better off.
But. But the biggest pet peeve. No option to switch to on screen soft keys. To make matters worse, the non lit capacitive ones.
So, question remains, anyone tried to install the framework and installed Gravity box or something?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yes, there are guides on the forums for how to install Xposed. However, I and a couple other individuals have bricked our devices playing around with Gravitybox; you should make a backup before messing with anything regarding Gravitybox.

GravityBox in combination with heavily modded (by ZTE) ROMs is always risky. GB has a big warning agianst using it on non-stock or stock-ish roms

I used Gravity box for 3 things and had no issues:
1) Circle battery icon
2) Center clock (in status bar)
3) Re-orientate volume controls according to how the device is being held
Like I said, I had no issues whatsoever, but that's all I used.

Yep, Xposed is working great. Modules I am using are:
AcDisplay, Adblocker, App Settings, GravityBox, Snapprefs (the updated one), and XGPM to customize Google Music.
Not all options function on each mod, especially GravityBox, but the ones that didn't, did not have a negative effect on anything, they simply didn't work.
In my opinion there is no reason to not use Xposed. I am not having any device slowdown or lag issues like on other devices either.

I used Xposed for about a week. I disabled it because I tweaked something in gravitybox that gave me a bootloop (make sure you have the uninstaller zip on your phone just in case!), the phone was noticeably faster. There is a delay when you open apps with Xposed installed even without any modules active that isn't there without Xposed. I've seen this on my oneplus one, nexus 6, Nexus 6p, moto x pure, and now the axon 7. That's about the only issue with Xposed, though, so if you don't mind slightly slower app opening, it opens up a lot of customization. Personally, I go back and forth.

I did have lag on the Moto x pure, but do not have any on this phone..yet. I guess it depends in this case.

Awesome stuff. Probably what I'll do this weekend.
I really just want to have my onscreen softkeys haha with a couple of other minor stuff like YouTube background playback and such.

The thread that Draken posted said that xposed would break systemless root.
Does this not apply to us?

It doesn't break root, but it does make changes to the system partition, and is therefore no longer "systemless".

How to install apps

Hi, in IOS you can install teaks via Cydia, for example, to avoid ads in youtube. How do I do that in android? How can I install spotify without ads or snapchat so they don't see that I opened it, etc...?
Thanks

For ads, adaway, for snapchat I'm not sure, there used to be an xposed module for something like that but the developer got threatened by snapchat and shut down. Look up xposed

If you're using full stock and adblockers aren't working you might have to go for YouTube Red.

You're going to need root for any of that. Xposed as well, it's along the lines of Cydia for Android.

Googleless Stock Rom with Nanodroid. Anyone interested?

Hello community!
Is anyone here likes stock rom, but doesn't trust Google? Or simply hates that gapps are the top battery consumers?
Probably somebody heard of NanoDroid.
It's a plain PITA to install that on stock rom.
Took me more than a night of dancing with shamanic tambourine to make it work.
But now I got deodexed and debloated 47.1.A.12.179
Without Gapps, but with workinglay store, contact sync, apps that require services and maps with location data stored locally.
Battery life improved significantly.
With my usage I usually get 3-4 SOT.
But here... It's only 2nd day, means I am still playing with it and my results are already impressive. Take a look at the screenshoots.
If I will have interest and some active rom makers to help me a bit with building universal solution for G8141 and G8142, I will make it as ready to use rom.

That could be a really good option, hope you can still make improvements and want to share with everyone else

So how can we install this? Lol and will it work on turbo tom??

Xposed doesn't work after. 75 so how did you do it

If you find the way to flash xposed plz tell me that way

I didn't fix xposed it works with magisk manager.

Xposed get fix in m-rom but Google play services crash on v1.5

I'm in. Right now I'm playing with the VR... Built a Magisk module that enables Daydream.
Finally got it working on stock.
But I'll be able to help with the development of a de-googleservicer patch.
