[Q] Problem with KitKat and Xposed

Hello, I am successfully running rooted KitKat and trying to get the g2 xposed to work. I don't get any errors installing and applying xposed or downloading modules, but when I restart my device it just says that the latest xposed framework is not currently active. Have tried reinstalling the framework and the modules many times to no avail. Anyone else having trouble or a fix?

Bump
It is very annoying having this update as I have gotten used to my menu button on the left and back on the right, as well as 380dpi (can't fix the camera and messaging apps without xposed)

Seems it's a know issue on the Xposed thread. I can confirm it doesn't work for me either and I'm hoping for a fix soon.

the current version of xposed (as of this post) does not work with the LG G2 variation of kitkat. The next version of xposed will. However, the "g2 xposed" module will also have to be updated...

I miss the you tube full screen mode for now and also hate too many notification on the status bar. Rest everything love the Kitkat

Xposed - Chance of bricking mad etc. questions

Hi.
If I will follow the instructions for installing Xposed for my phone, what are the chances that it will go bricked? I heard that you must be very lucky to get it right. And is there a chance of hard brick or only normal? Thanks !
PS; Are all the modules working (f.e. Pixel navbar or status bar and notification bar in material style)

I think actually bricking with xposed is impossible(can maybe cause bootloop though), and most theming modules won't work at all or work wrong. Also for some users normal xposed version breaks phone app.
I'm using this version made for odexed samsung roms(my phone is honor 4x which is same than p8lite) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
This will keep phone app working.
Take TWRP backup of your whole device before installing and you will be safe.
Also the first boot can take 30mins. After that boot time goes to normal.
Guide tells you to use CWM recovery, but TWRP will work.

Thanks for the reply! I want to use Xposed mainly for theming... So in that case, most of them don't work?

I use this version of Xposed installer and it's working without any problem
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
About modules most of them is not compatible with EMUI
Anyway this is my installed modules list and all of them are working (except gravity box, most of it's features is not working) and I can confirm that XStana is working too

Ok I'll try. Thanks m8s

"Battery level full" - Any solutions to disabling this notification?

I am running rooted Swift and Fast B170 ROM on one XT and stock B180 on another and have yet to find a way to disable this seemingly system based notification. On my rooted device I tried to install Xposed but ran into a boot loop issue after installing the framework so I am inclined to think that isn't a possible route to a solution. The OS notification center is pretty useless in managing app notifications and the battery notification doesn't seem to be tied to a specific app anyway.
Does anyone have any ideas how to disable the notification?

So I ended up disabling the System UI notifications all together. And that works but I'm pretty sure its going to disable other important notifications controlled by System UI. If anyone has any true solutions let me know.

Xposed can be installed on the Ascend XT. Search for my Xposed thread. I'm using Magisk Systemless Xposed v87.1.
Why not just swipe away the battery full notification. Yes, you've probably killed other things too by disabling SystemUI.

Have you tried using an Xposed module to remove it, I recall using one to do that to remove the same notification on my S4.

Because it's a nuisance, and I've notice with some games that notification (w/sound) will kill all in game sounds until the game is restarted. But that's just my 2¢

yes it can pop up at the most inopportune time and its honestly a useless notification in the bar that is distracting. notifications shouldnt be in the bar that i should ignore.
@mattzeller and like i said before i tried installing Xposed before i believe the regular installer and that went fine but when i installed the framework and rebooted it kept boot looping at the android logo and i had to reflash the Swift and Fast ROM.
I plan on exploring the Xposed install that divineBliss mentioned I just need to backup my current ROM first and then double check all of the steps required. I hope it works. cause it really is a distracting notification.

Using systemless Xposed is a fairly straightforward process. This is the way I got it working on mine since Magisk wouldn't flash because of the modified boot.img and would only modify stock, you don't have to flash the ROM like I did, but I was doing cleanup and reflash anyway.
1. Download all required files and put them on your external SD card.
a. Swift&Fast: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=72258982
b. Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68966662
2. Make sure you have the correct boot.img for the firmware version you are using, can't use B160 boot.img on B170 ROM, it causes wifi problems. I extracted boot.img from @madvane20 's Swift&Fast ROM since that's what I am running.
3. Do all necessary wipes and flash ROM, do NOT reboot yet.
4. Flash extracted boot.img (select img in TWRP to show *.img files) do NOT reboot yet.
5. Flash Magisk (I'm using current/stable)
6. Wipe caches and reboot.
7. Boot your phone, open Magisk Manager and go to Downloads and install Xposed Framework (SDK 23). I got an error here trying to download and install. I fixed it by adding the folder Magiskmanager to internal sdcard.
8. Download and install latest Xposed installer for systemless Xposed. The link for that is in the Magisk module information for Xposed.
9. Reboot (got a kitK Kat? It's gonna be a while) and everything should be working.
Occasionally after a reboot you can't open settings(Xposed issue), just reboot again, should clear that up.

Although I'm sure there's a way via xposed to disable the notification, I haven't found it yet. The xEMUI module has some nice tweaks, but nothing related to that.
Perhaps via appOpsXposed, or via stopReceiverBroadcasts... remove the ability for SystemUI to see the charging related events..?

once i get over pneumonia ill fix my b180 rom. however b180 in general has bad battery drain for me on stock or my rom. will help what i can once i feel better

Have you tried the NotifyClean module in Xposed?
Thanks -n0cturne- for the xEMUI tip. I have been dying to center the clock in EMUI w/o having to use FSBI. FSBI works really well, but slows everything down.

Notifyclean will do what you ask, I have tested it and once I blocked that specific notification, no longer pops up or chimes that the battery is full

NotifyClean only lets you disable the tray notification, not the pop up dropzone notification. . Unless I'm missing something?

It gets rid of the notification in the notification area and blocks the pop-up that occurs when it's full. Just not the "you just plugged your phone in" pop-up

Can't pass safetyney

Hi guys, i've installed Aosp Extended ROM but my safetynet is broken, i can't install any safetynet module from Magisk, from TWRP show "error 1 can't mount /system" but system is already mounted...
Any help? Thanks

safety net has nothing to do with the ROM, but with Magisk and root. Maybe your Magisk installation isn't correctly configured ( Do not install Xposed Modules )
Re-flash the ROM and Reinstall latest Magisk (16.4).

What's the problem with xposed? I had it in my previous phone and it passed safetynet with no issues.

Not sure but some of the modules break safety net. I've read it multiple times on different threads, people complaining wbout it.

Ok, I'll try disabling the modules I have to see if that fixes the issue. I mostly have it to use GravityBox and Youtube Background Playback. The first one because I use the volume keys to skip songs (I'm using the stock rom) and the other one because Youtube vanced doesn't seem to install properly. Do you know of alternatives to any of those?

Did you disable YouTube before + remove the playstore updates of YouTube too then install Vanced.
I don't use xposed at all as my ROM has everything i need, i just use a couple of Magisk modules ( font, vanced, iOS11 emojies and MiAi camera lag fix ). If nothing is broken, don't try and fix it

Where did that come from? I'm not trying to "fix" anything. All I want is to add is song skipping with the volume keys (something that should've been added to stock android by now). I tried what you said with vanced but it's still not working.

Alternative to Vanced youtube is "OGYoutube" (https://plusmods.com/ogyoutube) - installed as a standard app, so you can keep official updated Youtube (best of both worlds). I don't know about functional alternative to Gravitybox though, so you can't get rid of Xposed (the only module which breaks Safetynet by design).
Edit: if you use Gravitybox only for media control with volume keys, you might have luck with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frinky.volumeKeys.music.controller&hl=en. I didn't like it too much, but it's worth trying if Safetynet is your priority.
Edit2: Automation via Tasker is an option as well, but it was pain in the a** to use it on my previous phone.. https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-pro-skip-music-tracks-using-volume-keys/
Edit3: Just realized that Button mapper pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en) offers this option as well and seems to be working fine. I guess that I can disable Xposed now, thank you for creating this topic

[FIXED] Looking for a way to disable 180 degree rotation.

I'm a moron. It isn't in stock OOS... It was RomAur magisk module that has it enabled for some reason. Not in any description and no way to turn it off. Stock OOS doesn't do 180 luckily..
For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to disable 180 degree rotation on stock OOS 11.0.2.2. it's driving me crazy reading stuff in bed and it constantly going to reverse portrait in stead of landscape..
The hundreds of rotation apps in the play store only lock rotation or disable it per app and can't actually set 0-90-270 which is what I want.
Can't find any magisk modules either. I know there's some exposed modules but I can't get edxposed to work either.
Riru 23.1 installed, busybox installed, Magisk 21.2, CleanSlate kernel (tried stock rooted as well) and it keeps saying edxposed is installed but not active see log. I did notice SELinux is stuck on Enforcing even tho I have a script that should set it to permissive but that doesn't seem to work on either stock or CleanSlate..
