Need help with Xposed - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I succesfully unlocked and rooted my G5. It's rooted as well and I have Xposed 3.0 alpha4 installed and the app says the framework is active.
However I can't seem to change anything. I tried GEL Settings for example to change the grid size of the google launcher or the G4 Tweakbox to change the battery symbol. But nothing happens. I reboot and everything is the same.
I have the feeling I'm making some real dumb noob error, but I don't know what...
Any help is appreciated.

I assume you have turned the modules on? Open xposed and go to modules and ensure they are ticked and reboot if not. I assume you have done this otherwise you would get notifications from the modules that they are not axtive.
I did notice that the battery icon change in the g4 tweakbox did not work after reboot for me. I would recommend trying it with gravitybox instead.
Also, to confirm xposed is working correctly, try installing a module that delivers an obvious effect. For instance burnt toast or YouTube background playback.
Good luck

Yes, the modules are active.
Tried the Youtube Background module - no joy.
I don't get any error messages, everything installs fine, it's just not working...

[APP][4.0.3+ & GB][XPOSED] NotifyClean

Cleans up the notification area, and much more
You could configure which apps are allowed to create notifications in the top left area, the notification area. If an app creates a notification it will be collected and added to the list.
You could deny all notifications of an app or only specific messages - if it's not a customized notification. So I used it to hide "waiting for connection", but not "you are connected".
Changed settings are applied after a reboot!
With a donation you supports this app and get more options.
Important:
This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation. Don't forget to enable the module in Xposed. You can grab it here: Xposed Installer
Donation:

Looks very interesting. Do you know in how far this might conflict or work with other, similar modules and/or on certain phones and android versions? Specifically I'm on an lg g2 with xblast installed and without a working recovery, and i don't want to risk a bootloop.

[*]Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same package. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.

It doesn't, I've had bootloops when trying incompatible modules just for kicks.
You're better off waiting for a proper recovery imo.

Manual "recovery":
* start adb within your recovery and connect to it by computer
* remove file /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list (for xposed 2.3)
-> no modules will beloaded :victory:

I have a file named "Xposed-Disabler-cwm.zip" on my sd card. (I believe I downloaded it along with the main Xposed app)
If, due to a module, I get into a boot loop issue etc., which I have...then I simply boot into recovery (without a pc) and run this zip. Boom. All modules are temporarily disabled. :good:
No need for this. gravity have that option now and with out paying!!!!

@themadproducer
I have Xposed-Disabler-cwm.zip too, dated to 10.10.2013, Xposed installer creates it. But now you know to en-/disable without sdcard
@flexxoo As i wrote in the OP also LBE has such an option. But i dont like it to get additional an adblocker, virusscanner, firewall, traffic counte etc bundled. All these additional features consumes memory, uses the cpu and drain your battery.
Maybe you should first try the app before you blame. Then you would also know that you do not have to donate to block notifications

Yes, in the 1st post is a link to Xposed Repository. There is a direct linkt to download the apk - or just use xposed installer itself to download
Sadly it does not seem to work.
Log shows all recent Notifications but nothing shows up in the main window.
Running AOKP 4.2.2 by Maclaw on a S3 Mini
All other Xposed Stuff works fine.
[Edit]
Disregard it. Actually rebooted twice when i wrote this. After a third reboot its working now
Great App, thanks a lot.
Works like a charm. Thanks for the module.
I would tend to want the red color for ALL, and something "weaker" for individual notifications.

Different sources for both
1) The log entries are taken from debug.log of xposed
2) The database with notifications is updated by the hook every time a new one is detected (no more write access as needed), the app itself reads the file.
But the app has to create the file to get the app's permissions&owner, the hook does not creates it because the app could not read it later due to missing permissions. So the new notifications could not written, but are logged.
I add it to the 1st post
When removing the notification does it remove the service or just the icon in the task bar?
Will android close the app when it needs memory or will the app stay open like when the icons are showing in the task bar?
I wanted to use the module to remove the notification of "No Sim card" (I am currently using N8000 without a sim) it's found in the system ui notifications but when i select it and reboot nothing happens but then i restart system ui and the notification is gone
But when i select it and custom design then reboot it works but i dont know if this would disable other notifications.... .. so What's the problem?!

Technical the app calls the function to create a notification, but this call never reches the system.
I'm using a other app by me named "KeepRunning" to restart crashed/closed apps. I've oberserve also some apps which are configured to not show notification. The logfile of KeepRunning tells me that during the last week only Whatsapp was several times was restarted, but this has no restricted notifications.
So i *think* the apps are not closed by Android. Btw, i the worst case Android closed any app, regardless of services or nifications

Xposed framework has not function to get a "Context"
To get the texts of a notification a "Context" is required
So the module searches for a context to read the notification.
Now the "system ui" starts very early and at this point it seems a context is not yet available and the notification is detected as "text not readable" and the app shows it as "custom design" :-/ If later a context is available notifications of system ui are read correct.
So i think it thould be okay to disable custom design for system ui to get rid of "no sim" notification
You could simple recognize a real custom design of notifications. The app "My Data Manager" uses such a one for notifications, i've attached a screenshot and marked it
You could enable the full logging by creating a empty file /data/data/de.defim.apk.notifyclean/files/NotifyClean.logging , a reboot is required to take effect. Be warned, it could slow down your device, so enable it not all the time

[Q] Can't change dpi :(

Got my S5 from the T-mo store last night, rooted it, and installed TWRP. I've tried changing the dpi using BuildProp Editor from the play store. The editor requested and was granted root. I changed the lcd_density value from 480 to 360 and saved the change. BuildProp Editor asked to restart, and I let it. On reboot, though, nothing changed. Do I need to change permissions on build.prop?

Have you tried using any of the Exposed Framework aps? I beleive there are some that allow you to mess with DPI - I have installed Exposed and am using a couple of the Exposed Framework aps like Gravity and Wannam Exposed to modify my status bar and a few other things - so it seems that Exposed plays nicely with the S5 ....Hope this helps...
Thanks! The App Settings module for xposed did what I wanted.

Thanks for the confirm that Xposed works. Love having my clock in the center:good:
EDIT: PS...the Gravity Box settings for the advanced power menu items works too, including adding screen shot. The APM module by another developer did not work, but he did state he was discontinuing any updates or help...for now. For those interested, the additional settings for the Power menu restart (reboot, soft reboot, recovery, bootloader) are in Gravity Box module, then Power Tweaks.

Process Android Core UI stopped working?!

Hey guys,
As my title says, I keep getting that message quite often! Sometimes 2 times a day and it messes my wallpaper up. When I hit the recents menu and clear it enough times, the UI "reboots" or redraws itself and I have to enter my knockcode (using Xposed) and reset my wallpaper. Anyone here know what could be causing this? I can provide a list of Xposed modules that I use if that might be the case. I also use Nova prime (latest version).
Please can someone help pinpoint this problem or message me if you have found a solution? It annoys me to no end!
Thanks!

u can hit Thanks Button instead of typing it...
-
as u said only customization that can effect System itself (and exactly UI) is that module.
if u say more if u install something with root access it may help to figure out exact issue...

Fair enough. I'll go with the whole trial and error and if it's pinpointed I'll update the OP
Ditto on the error
I get this, can you post the Xposed mods you use? There might be a common mod we could identify as the issue.

Hey! Yeah I use the following modules:
20MP superior auto
Advanced power menu
App settings
Gesture navigation
Gravity Box
Holo themer
Keepchat
Knock code (have a feeling its this one)
Snapchat full caption
Snapshare
Xperia Xposed (KK)
Xposed DTN Disabler
YouTube adaway
I also use Adaway itself and have an Android L theme (from the cross development section)
If I had to guess, I would put it down to either knockcode, App settings or Xperia Xposed (KK) or MAYBEA gravity box!
What do you use?

But the ones marked * I installed since having the error message so probably not them. Also I did disable Xperia Xposed for a few days to see if it was this and still got error.
I'm going to back your choice that it's the Knock Code module. I'll disable for a few days and see how it goes.

Hey Darren, thank you for your reply. Sorry, I have been extremely busy with work.
Yeah I do get the feeling it's knockcode but I've just had the message come up now when I hit the recents menu and I was already using the phone. Do you think it could be the xperia Xposed (KK) module? I'm not even sure what the hell I'm using it for to be honest.
Let me know your findings on knock code. If it is that, I'll be sure to disable it and report the bug to the developer or to the dedicated thread on XDA.
Cheers! :highfive:

If I had to put it down to something I would say Gravity box or Xposed xperia although at this point it could be anything! I'm running catlog in the back as often as I can in order to catch the process actually stopping. Think this will pinpoint what causes it?

Could potentially be it! I had the nav bar tweak on where my navbar was a different colour. The process only stops working when I hit the recents menu so it might be that the UI isn't refreshing properly or something. I've disabled it anyway, let's see how that goes.

I did try with that mod off but I'm going to uninstall for a bit and see what happens.
I've tried taking gravity box off and uninstalled it too but the process still stops although the wallpaper doesn't mess up anymore. The ui just redraws and takes me to my lock screen (knockcode) which I then enter and everything is fine. I have a feeling it may actually be knockcode. Might turn that off now and see what happens.

Same here, had the Xperia Xposed uninstalled and less than 24 hours had 3 of these errors and knock screen appear.

Here's the thread for the mod nobody seems to mention the error though?
If yiu are using a different wallpaper for your lock screen, then change it to the same one as your home screen. I did that and no more messed wallpaper or android process force close for the past few days. The option is in the personalization section I think

Tried this and still got the error and knock screen. I have tried with Xperia Xposed on and off and still has issue. I'm still thinking its the knock code mod.

This is the correct answer. Since I last posted, I had turned off Knock code and that is exactly what was causing the process to end. I now have a pin entry and so far I have had no problems with the wallpaper corrupting or the android.core.UI process not working. I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem; turn knock code OFF if it happens to you. :highfive:
Reflashed phone a few weeks ago and stopped using Knock Code mod then. Not had the error since so yep it's definitely that. Shame as I really like the mode

[Q] XBlast working for anyone?

Hi guys.
Does anyone have XBLAST Tools (Xposed module) working on our device. I'm trying to get it to work but for some reason changes don't take effect when I reboot. I just need someone to tell me if it works for them. THANKS!
I had. Some things work, some doesn't work. Don't know why.
Could you tell me which things worked (not specifically, just overall e.g. build.prop, status bar mods, etc.). I'm asking because non of them work for me because I did something to my phone.
Thanks!
Some status bar mods and some tweaks on build.prop. I don't remember because I don't use Xposed anymore.
Thats all I needed to know. Turns out I messed with build.prop too much

[MOD][WEAR] Rich Ambient Mode (for Android Wear)

This module disables the transition to Ambient Mode on Android Wear so watch faces keep rendering images (once a minute) in full colored mode instead the usual plain, black & white ambient mode. The watch still goes to sleep (screen updating Handlers are suspended). It allows you to fully enjoy all the beautiful watch faces (both stock and 3rd party).
Battery life: There isn't any noticeable battery drain. With Always-on screen, the watch can still survive 2 whole days. See attached screenshot of a test when battery went during 11 hours from 100% to 78% (few notifications, Tilt to wake disabled, lowest screen brightness on LG G Watch).
Screen burn in: It's not a good idea to use this module with OLED.
Requirements:
Root (su binary on watch)
xposed-arm-20150308.zip flashed through recovery
Adb/developer mode enabled (to install apps directly)
Yes, Xposed framework also works on Android Wear, check my comment for details.
The modded version of Xposed Installer is the same as XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk, just with few Wear incompatible GUI parts disabled making it launchable on Wear. Because of disabled Action Bar, it's not possible to configure Xposed directly and installation below is required. (If you are familiar with UI coding, universal UI redesign would be helpful. So far I only did smali edits to Xposed Installer but I may try some proper workarounds/fixes later.)
Installation:
Install modded Xposed Installer (1_install_xposed_installer.bat)
Run Xposed Installer
Close Xposed Installer
Reboot watch
Run 2_enable_module.bat
Install this module (3_install_xposed_module.bat)
Wait for Xposed notification and tap to do soft reboot
Current bug/drawback:
Manually opened/expanded notifications do not hide (screen doesn't refresh) after a timeout.

I think I would use something like this as well. If I'm looking at it right, it's in com.google.android.clockwork.home.mr1compat.TiltDetectorService and modifying seems doable so I may try it later.
I tried installing this on 5.1.1 but it does not appear to work. Not sure if this is Xposed problem (using unofficial 5.1 Xposed) or this module's problem. Is there a way to check if module got actually loaded (logcat)?

I fixed what showed crashing in logcat. Or decompile both original and patched apks and run diff...
Thanks, I didn't know if there was something I would miss that you could give me a head ups on but sounds pretty straight forward.
tested on sony smartwatch 3 on android 5.1.1, using v68 sdk22 xposed framework, using your modded xposed installer, rooted with supersu 2.46
not working.. still fade to ambient
Hi @moneytoo, just curious, are you still using this?
I got xposed to work - I had to install xposed-v80-sdk22-arm.zip since the Android OS is 5.1.1 - I then followed your process to install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk and RichAmbient.v0.1.apk.
Doesn't seem to work for me on Smartwatch 3 though!
thanks,
Charlie
