Hello. I wrote an app to deal with a problem with the SPen on my N7000 Samsung Note. Not sure if it will work on other Note models but would appreciate someone trying it out and telling me if it works on their device as well. Please see my original posting here. Thanks

App Now On App Store
I have paid Google and have posted this app on the Play Store. I have also been at work on a new version that will incorporate a more complete UI (easy to be more complete that what is in this version), scheduled operations, and the ability to toggle auto-rotate as well as dominant hand (as some sources claim this helps with issues related to landscape versus portrait mode). Thanks to all for your feedback as this has encouraged me to go further!

Well that sounds unpleasant. Can I ask a few follow-ups? Did your phone prompt you to grant root access to Reset Spen? If so, did you grant it? Is your phone completely stock other than being rooted (for example, any kernel changes)? Finally (at least for now), what su program and version is installed on your phone? Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the info and screen shots. Right now I am stumped. Same su and settings as my Note N7000 but I have only ICS 4.0.4. I have a couple response from (what I assume to be and have emailed to confirm are) other Note II users (see one in this thread) and they have not encountered this. I will be following-up and apologize for the hangs.
Just tested it on the official MIUI rom based on touchwiz. App does its job but after the notification that the s-pen has been reset the launcher (stock MIUI home) freezes for like 15sec.
I'm not really bothered by this so i would say great job on this :thumbup:

Yikes! I appreciate the positive comments but I am not at all happy about this freeze. Can you tell me what su program/version is being used? When my app runs the first time, are you prompted by su to give permission (I presume so since you are getting a success)? Is there any message displayed from the su app or anything in the su app's logs? Anything in logcat?
Thanks
i'm not sure that this is what you need, but here's my catlog

Thanks Promi! Unfortunately, I see no log entries from my app in that file. Did you try running the app (and enduring the freeze issue) which this was being recorded? I assume you did but since I see no evidence, I had best confirm this. I appreciate your time and help with all this and apologize for the problem.
So this is achieved, effectively, by toggling the dominant hand for the S Pen? How curious, very helpful! Doing so seems to have made a difference to my slightly less sensitive right hand margin.

I started recording, then started your application, waited until TouchWiz stopped responding, and finished recording.

Thanks once again. In the logcat recording, the only thing I see that looks possibly bad is a NullPointerException coming from the package com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget.WeatherClock which I take to be some form of widget on your home screen. When, in development of my app (my first one), my poor programming resulted in a NullPointerException this resulted in freezes followed by program stopped messages. I am not blaming anyone/thing. But I am wondering if there may not be some bad interaction between my app and this widget that causes it to NullPointerException? Is it possible to remove this widget temporarily and try again to see if the problem persists and, if so, get another catlog? Thanks!
My only weather widget is stock samsung nature ux weather/clock widget
After removing it, touchwiz still hangs.
i will remove unneeded things from my desktop/phone and try gen new catlog.

Well, I am likely grasping at straws here. But that is all I saw in the catlog that was untoward. The fact that I see nothing from my app in there is very disconcerting and confusing. Thanks again for all your time and help.
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!
I made a shopping list app that sync from your phone to your watch, I would love feedback on it because I do not know anyone other than myself that has an android wear device. The link to the app is https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....anylist&hl=en . Please keep in mind that this app is in beta and not all features have been implemented yet, as of now the watch is not syncing changes back to the phone and the watch U.I. is not awesome. The mobile part of the app can be run completely independent of a wearable device. To delete items simply swipe them off the screen, to create click the plus icon on the mobile app. Let me know if you have any questions/ suggestions! Thanks! I also posted this over in the android wear forum.

Hey guys I thought I had subscribed to get updates on my thread but apparently I didn't. I looked at what you guys were saying and I don't know why its crashing like it is. I had it completely working before I uploaded to the store so maybe I uploaded an old apk or something. I will try to fix whatever is causing it to crash this weekend. Thanks for the feedback, I will update the thread when to let you know when it should be fixed!
Also I have quite a few other features planned for the app such as a list of favorited items to add with one click, but I will have to squeeze in updates around school and my internship. Let me know if you have any other comments/suggestions/complaints!
Bug Update
I fixed the bug that caused the application to crash on the wearable when you click on a category and updated my email preferences on the thread to get updates. I will push the update to the store now!

Hey sorry about the delay, I just got back in classes so I have been super busy. I found a bug in my manifest that was making multiple launcher icons, how were you trying to launch the app (through a wear launcher, or using the notification)? I'm attatching the apk here if you want to test it. It will also be included on the next update to the app on the play store.
It's been 2 years since I've rooted my last device. I'm a bit out of the loop with rooting. So what's your guys opinions on some good rooted apps?
Maybe there's some good apps for cosmetic changes? I've tried a few launchers, but they all feel very fake and tacky.
Of course I should learn how to use Titanium backup, I'd say that is a pretty common apps that rooted users use, eh?
Thanks ahead of time!

My favorite is blackmart. Tons of paid apps for free. Just google it and you can find their homepage to download it from. Other than that I usually only root to get free tethering but I found a way to get that without rooting this time so looks like I'll be holding off until we have some stable ROM's.

Yup. Not sure about YouTube (I think you need Xposed for that) but definitely Ads that appear all around some apps. In certain apps, the Ads totally disappear cleanly but in others they leave a black bar behind. That's depending on how the apps are designed.

Last time I checked out Cydia, it was for downloading paid apps for free. Correct me if I'm wrong.
However, Xposed is not for that. It's for making specific customizations to your ROM, as if it were cooked right into it. You need Xposed framework and specific modules for it to work.
Also, you're right about Samsung devices not being supported yet (work in progress).

Hello friends,
I wanted to alert everyone regarding what I discovered.
After latest firefox update I found out that-
Whenever I run Firefox app, it also runs Facebook app and facebook messenger.
Here is how I tested-
1) Kill the Facebook & Messenger totally by using the Force Stop option. For better, also Force Stop the Firefox .
2) Run Firefox again, and then check both the Facebook apps. You will see both the Poop-bags run back from the grave.
How? Why? I guess Firefox is sold out to Facebook too.
Now they are tampering the core too.
Yes I tried these steps, 3 times while writing this topic, to make sure whether my suspicion is valid or not. Yes it does exactly what I said.
Any one knows, how to stop this? (I know the solution some of you might give- Uninstall the Facebook apps.) . But before doing that
lets alert everyone and find out the solution, because this time Firefox is involved(sold out).
Which app permission should I disable to prevent this? (I am using Xprivacy, permission pro, app settings).
android 4.4 , Samsung 10.1 .
Thank you.
Anyone, noticed this? and know any solution?
You're accusing the Mozilla Foundation of possible illegal behavior. You'll need more than the odd behavior of one device to convince me.

Hello,
I am not here to accuse, I am here to get solution.
I use firefox since years, because of trust. But what I noticed after recent update is evident.
I have checked this several times. I mean everyday, before I run Firefox on my android tablet, I check which apps are running in the background. I kill them if they are there. Then I run firefox and check the running apps immediately. There you see Facebook+messenger, sitting in the background like thieves.
Did you try what I am saying? You will notice its not the "odd behavior of the device". but its the "obvious behavior of Mozilla Firefox".
You will see the same with Spider Solitare. Facebook is Targeting popular apps, or rather possibly Commissioning them.
What more should I test to check or prove that, or prevent that? is there any log or something that I should show here?
Thank you for reply, see you soon.
A lot of apps does that...
Even system apps..
Ex. In Samsung device's when you receive sms, Viber will also run..
When you use Camera, Gallery will run..
I think Firefox is using Facebook services, so if you use Firefox to log in facebook it will also sync.. not sure.
Separate note
Though im wondering that why its banned in XDA

As being banned means that it doesn't get mentioned. As for why. Because it's used to rip off devs, making it warez which xda is against.
As for the OP. Run a log cat and see what it is calling. This user maybe right. With everything so connected these days it is not odd for one app to start a service of another app.

I came here because its obvious activity that I am seeing everyday, and if they are involved, they wont give any solution. You people only can.
And, login using Firefox is totally different than the Facebook apps login. Not related. I am sure this activity is no where near to helping us.
Do you know any Xposed framework module, or something that will prevent this from the root?
See you. thanks again.

The Greenify and xprivacy mods given by users, isnt working.

I thought it's because Facebook is just set up to run all the time? You kill it and it'll restart on its own, regardless of whether you start up other apps or not.

It is. To be honest there is not much that can be done. Mainly with android M new feature of allowing all apps to check for root and disable features or the app if root is detected.

Hello, hey no. (I guess you are a non-root user). Actually I removed Facebook from the root with the help of Titanium backup and installed it as a user app again. I have also removed its startup. It never starts by itself. Until i updated these popular apps. Now they are rigging even more apps. I know, I keep checking the running apps through ForceStop it or app settings. And I have tried several times, when I run these few mentioned apps I immediately go check the running apps again. There the facebook rise again.

You mean, they are making it even harder for root users? How shameful of this giant advertising slutoogle.
But our patriot developers will definatelt come with a hit fix.
ARTDeoptimiser - An Android N & O Xposed Crash/Hang "fix"
Introduction:
First things first, I'd like to point out that this app is by no means the optimal solution to the problem I am about to discuss, however it is a temporary solution to those that wish to use it.
Xposed for Android N and above has known issues whereby hooked applications can hang or crash for seemingly no reason at all and there's virtually nothing that us developers can do to resolve
the issue (From a module developers perspective). This is (to the best of my knowledge) in part due to how android performs an optimisation on applications during the installation period
(Dex2Oat) [See Further Reading below].
As an Xposed developer myself these hangs became quite a frequent occurrence and my users would often complain about it, assuming the issue was something on my part or something I could resolve.
As a result I decided to create a module that would force android to install selected applications as "Interpret Only" whereby no optimisations are performed on the app meaning Xposed can hook
into applications and not face the dreaded hangs.
Again, I can't stress enough that this is not a permanent or primary solution to the issue however Rovo himself has said that the optimal fix is not something that is easy to do, so until then I thought
I'd at least offer a "hacky workaround". I'd love to hear from @rovo89 as to whether forcing apps to install as vmSafeMode=true is in fact a "solution".
Note: This app is very much in the EARLY STAGES as I made it in about 2 days and decided I'd at least allow people to provide feedback.
Download:
Check out the Github with an included Pre-Release APK and a brief howto guide in the ReadMe.
ARTDeoptimiser Github
Xposed Repo -> Repository Link
Brief Instructions:
Install Module
Activate in Xposed
Reboot
Open app
Mark which apps you want deoptimised
Backup their data
Uninstall the apps
Reinstall the apps
Restore their data
Always apply this to the App, not the Xposed Module for it.
Further Reading
If you'd like to read up on Rovo's official explanation on the issue, use the link below.
Rovo's explanation
I made the module to try and help out other developers and make the Xposed community a little bit more stable for Android N and above. It is, and always will be, a free application.
Thanks! Giving this a try.

Do I need to redo this whole procedure everytime I updated my FB Messenger app?

Although I'm not 100% certain, in theory so long as this module is active at the time of update it should allow you to just update your apps normally.
I'll have to test this to confirm it however I'm somewhat confident it will work.

Ok thank you.
Sorry if this is stupid question, but which app am I supposed to de optimize? The Xposed module apk or the app that the module "tweaks" or both? I.e X Messenger Privacy or Facebook Messenger or both?
Finally Snaptools on Oreo w/o crashes :victory:

In your case the Facebook Messenger. Always the app. :highfive:
It's something similar like Greenify?

not at all, if anything it may make your battery life a bit worse

I'd love to hear from @rovo89 as to whether forcing apps to install as vmSafeMode=true is in fact a "solution".

I'm not sure about other impacts of vmSafeMode. You might be better of setting "pm.dexopt.bg-dexopt=quicken" (or whatever "pm.dexopt.install" is): https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/configure#runtime_configuration
Again, this is only a workaround. It means that no AOT compilation is taking place, which means that apps need to be JIT-compiled every time you start them. That surely increases CPU/RAM load, which in turn consumes more battery.
Nice job
I think it's solution create only for using if it's needed (if you got this crashes etc.). If now everything in your rom is OK, you don't need it I think (yet). Cheers.
Thanks for this module it fixes my Facebook Messenger crash when using X Messenger Privacy module ?

Exactly what I was looking for, glad to see if works. I just got mine setup, and about to log back in now. ?
Got a little lost at the part of backing the app up and uninstalling it, then restoring it but then I considered a case like Snapchat's login.
Thanks so much, my phone is miui9 android 8.0,Art flash back,cannot be used,im chinese, English is not good,I'm sorry.
Hmm maybe it's just me but it looks like Messenger still optimizes sometimes (maybe after restart but I'm not sure).
And yes I followed all the steps. Xposed module is active and .orca is 'deop'.
After removing the OAT folder it works again.

Make sure you're using the v1.0.2 version as previous versions would still allow android to optimise apps in the background ?
(Note: this MAY require you to reinstall messenger, I've not been able to confirm if it's necessary)
