[Q] Xposed - AT&T HTC One (M8)

What exactly does Xposed do? Is it only a developers' tool, or can a noob/novice use it?

There's a 100 threads about exposed do a Google search

Here's the easy answer for this question. According to the Xposed website it changes the behavior of the system without touching APKs. If you are rooted then you can install the framework and download modules from the App (or other places) that you want to use. Using the stock rooted Rom, an example of a module that works is Sense 6 Toolbar. It modifies a lot of things in the system that you normally couldn't You have to reboot after installing the framework and you must reboot after activating a downloaded module in order for it to work. You activate modules within the app.
That's the simple version. You can google the finer details. I always get the installer from the website.

Remove Root from NC5 to use Good email?

I'm on NC5 with MK2 bootloaders and my new company requires that I use Good For Enterprise as my email client. I've tried the Xposed module from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163 along with an older version of Good as suggested, but I can't get it to work. I hate to give up root, but I have to be able to get work email on my phone so now I'm planning on removing Root. I really don't want to flash stock files if I don't have to because I at least have all the bloatware removed now and I know I can't do that if I flash stock without root.
So my question is what can i do to keep my current system as is, but remove ALL traces of Root? Is it as simple as going into SuperSU and doing a Full Unroot? I'm asking first rather than trying it because each time Good detects Root I have to request a new activation key and I've already done that once so I don't want to have to do it again if it's more complicated than that.
Also, will I have any issues with Knox after doing this?
Thanks
There is an Xposed module that will allow you to "trick" whatever app you want to think you're UNrooted but it's name escapes my memory at this moment...

You can do the Full Unroot, but first you must remove Busybox if it's installed.
THEN you can use SuperSU full unroot, then unistall SuperSU Pro (if you have it), then uninstall SuperSU.
The unroot.sh script that comes with Saferoot will get rid of busybox and leave you rooted so you can uninstall SuperSU.
Caution: if SuperSU is installed as a system app (/system/app/Superuser.apk) then you can't uninstall it using the application manager.
In that case, removing SuperSU by hand may be necessary.

I tried the Xposed module, which is posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163 and I can't get it to work. I also can't get a response on that thread to tell me if I did something wrong. I simply installed the Xposed module and then installed a previous version of Good that others reported as working with the module. Not sure if I'm supposed to do anything in Xposed other than just install the module?
Thanks

OK dumb user error. I'm guessing this works a lot better if the Xposed installer is actually installed. I had forgotten to reinstall it after I upgraded to 4.4.2 and only the Wanam module was installed. Hopefully that will solve my issue.
Thanks for the responses.

Kindle HDX Rom Help

Hi guys. New to the fourm. I recently rooted my Kindle Fire HDX 7.9 (Thor I believe?). It's on 4.5.3 and I've been reading about ROMS? I'm guessing they're to make the tablet act like another OS? If so how do I download and install them?
Thanks in advance
So, a ROM is a custom build of the os. Some, like MIUI are to make the android feel more like an iPad, but most give the user more control and actually take the manufacturer's customizations away giving you more of a pure android experience.
Right now, you cannot run a rom on your os, but root it, and block ota because ggow is working on a rom for the newer os.

Thank you! I've already got it blocked I believe, I followed a tutorial which stopped them. Just another thing, I see people posting pics of their setup with launchers etc, but whenever I use a Launcher, my wallpaper just stays black. Is that due to it being "kindle" still?
You are welcome. As for the launcher, yes and no, Amazon did not include some of the files needed to set wallpapers with their build of the os. If you are rooted, the way to get wallpapers is to install the xposed framework, and find a module called hdxposed. Be careful with the exposed framework as some of the modules can permanently mess up your system. But, hdxposed is safe and will enable wallpapers. The other annoyance with an alternate launcher is the popup asking which launcher to use. To get around that, dissable all or a portion of amazon's launcher called otter.

Is there a tut or anything to install it or is it like an apk etc?
Yes, and yes. What the framework is is a way for newer versions of android to install or modify pieces of a rom without rewriting the whole rom. Google it and you will find the xda thread with the installer apk. Then, search for hdxposed which has no settings, you just check the box.
When you find the apk for the xposed framework installer, you need to install it (it is a normal apk), then open it and install the framework. You must select the normal way as you do not have a typical recovery. That is the only risk if you do not install any other modules besides hdxposed.

Thank you very much!! And when I install all of that, I can then add wallpapers via my launcher or do I have to do it via another method?
I guess it depends on the launcher. In theory, yes, but for some people the launcher wallpaper mechanism is still buggy. I use Nova, and I use an app (image2wallpaper) because if I do not, Nova overzooms my pics.

Greenify not recognizing Xposed

I'm running Greenify 2.7 beta 4 on BlissPop-v3.7-vs985-OFFICIAL-20150803-0536 (Verizon LG G3) with Xposed for 5.1, but for some reason every time I try to enable an option that uses Xposed in Greenify it tells me to activate the module and reboot... only I've already done those things plenty of times. I can't get it to recognize Xposed even though I can get other modules to work just fine. Is there anything I can do?
I have the same problem. I wish I could get it to work.
Actually, I got it to work by updating to the latest alpha of Xposed Installer (3.0 alpha 4 at the time)
Sent from my LG-VS985 using XDA Free mobile app
i am using alpha 4, but having the same problem... in xposed log i get:
Code:
Cannot load any modules because /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list was not found
Other modules work, but i have uninstalled them anyway in an effort to fix the problem. Ths is on AryaRom for Galaxy Note 3. Yes it is Samsubg so i am using the official xposed framework, BUT ID DID NOT have this problem before i flashed this ROM. It was working while i was on Omega Rom
Hey buddy, it's just simple.
Follow the steps:
1.Go to xposed framework app.
2. Go to modules. (From menu at right top corner)
3.Then just enable greenify.
Comment me if it solved your problem.

Just went through this. Go to Xposed installer/Modules and you'll see greenify. Click on the module and reboot =) enjoy. Also 3 of the options in greenify Xposed will soft reboot the device, just a heads up

Xposed module Gravitybox not working

It tries to load the framework and then it says Gravitybox has stopped working, it will close now.
The same problem as here:

Doesn't work on stock ROM
Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
xposed and gravitybox also work sin stock rom.
use xposed v 82 sdk 32
and before you flash it use selinuxmodechanger.
you also can read it on the xposed thread.
xposed needs permissive selinux mode
and our kernel has enforcing mode. thats why it dont work
I have Xposed already installed.

Hi
Rooted stock rom.
From the official xposed xda page, I installed xposed installer, then flashed framework sdk23 (marshmallow), arm64 v84.
Xposed says 'not compatible with sdk version 23 or your processor architecture (arm64-v8a)'.
Is it the selinuxmodechanger that i haven't installed (yet) or will v84 not work anyway?

You're using the wrong version of xposed installer, you need v3.0-beta4.

Thank you, Jonny.
In case anyone else runs into this problem, it's the material design version by DVDandroid.
If you have any other version already installed, uninstall it first.

So, you downloaded the app and clicked on INSTALL/UPDATE with framework "xposed-v84-sdk23-amd64" and that's it?

Yes, that was it. It will auto-shutdown & auto-flash in TWRP, then restart & it should be done.
However, xposed installer says, in green, that sdk23 arm64 is active, yet, i'm not sure if a couple of modules i've tried are working properly/at all.
Minminguard module (ad blocker) for instance says that xposed is not enabled, & sure enough ads are still popping up in apps & in chrome.
So i'm wondering if certain modules won't work seeing as i'm using the latest installer & sdk/64? ie do the module developers need to keep up?
Can someone shed some light on how it works in that respect?
Should i try the 32bit sdk? (all 32bit sdks will work on a 64bit cpu, won't they?)
Or should i try a different version - 82?
Is there a version that is most reliable for most modules?
Same results in here, I guess we have to change the SELinux mode somehow for it to work according to what I've read somewhere else...

As skeleton1911 wrote "and before you flash it use selinuxmodechanger". That fixed most of my problems, I also use xposed V84, haven't tried V85 though
there is a solution for xposed by skeleton1911
---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
skeleton1911 said:
Guys
there is a solution for xposed:
1. with mixplorer go to system/etc/init.d/ 07permissive and open it with editor (just tap on it)
2. remove the sleep 60 line. save and reboot to recovery
3. flash xposed framework , reboot and install xposed app and your modules. enable them in xposed app and reboot (normal xposed procedure)
4. open your apps like gravitybox etc.. ( they will connect to the xposed framework now)
5. open 07permissive again in system/etc/init.d and add sleep 60 into it again
6. save and reboot
Done!
in short words:
the cause is permissive and enforcing. Xposed only run in permissive mode on boot , but permissive mode forces some apps to close , but it is needed for viper v4a so i did this init.d script, system boots in enforcing and after 60 sec it will switch to permissive.
this is a dirty but working method. there is no other way at the moment because elephone didnt released the kernel source to modify it..
1. remove sleep 60 in 07permissive , save and reboot
2.perform the xposed stuff and after reboot open all xposed apps so they can connect to the xposed framework
3. add sleep 60 back into 07permissive and reboot
All works now!
cheers!
p.s: I will make a flashable zip for that soon ​

Do it anybody probe it? Maybe Do it working?
That's for his custom rom. For the stock rom you need selinuxmodechanger, set it to permissive and soft reboot via xposed. It will work fine then!
Aha, thanks, I didn't know what is the difference

Mmm, OK, maybe is the soft reboot what I missed, because I used selinuxmodechanger and it didn't work with a full reboot. I am using stock but with RodriguezMod, but I think I will try the Eragon ROM. I'll report back. Thanks!
I'm finally trying the Eragon ROM, and following the steps from skeleton1911 finally seem to be working! At least Amplify for the first time is not complaining about not having Xposed. So I wiped, flashed the ROM, updated the SuperSU binary, rebooted, remove the sleep from the init.d script, went to the Xposed installer Material beta, updated from v82 to v85 using the installer, and after that flash, Amplify started to recognize Xposed!

Moto g4 play - stuck in boot

hello, i have a moto g4 play and after installing pokemon go and root switch to try to play the game i disabled xposed and everything was fin after i enabled xposed and rebooted my phone has been stuck in boot since. i can boot into twrp just fine. any help is good help, thank you.
edit: Should aslo add that it has booted fine since i rooted it around last march (2017)
Edit(2): Ok, issue seems to be xposed if i disable it via touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled in twrp i can boot, but enabling xposed makes me bootloop
Edit(3): Reinstalling xposed framework via fresh zip still boot loops, any ideas?
Edit(4): Runing the uninstaller via TWRP still bootloops, im assuming its something in the xposed files is messed up.
well i can boot into my phone but cant get xposed to do anything and i have to use the disabled file trick, any ideas on how to get xposed working again?
a hopeful bump as i still haven't found any fix.
why are you using xposed in the first place (i may help you to get some work arounds to get what you need without xposed)

there is an open source app named newpipe which can full fill your needs of youtube
the edits with neo power menu can be permanently achieved by editing system resources (bit hard for beginners but it's good ones you done it)
stuff with gravity box can also be done permanently by system resource editing
what you do with lucky patcher?
for you it will look like more simple to use xposed , but believe me editing system resorces can be more good
