[Q]Private mode not working. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Just noticed that Private mode won't work. When I scan my fingerprint to enable it it says "Failed to enable Private mode. Please try again." Anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Much appreciated.

Did you install xposed? If you uninstall xposed, it should work again. It's being looked into. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-s5-t2725405

Same error here

Well, it's fixable, but how depends on what you did. What did you do? Did you use xposed? Did you try the download booster fix? You have tell us more here than just "oh my Private mode won't work", and "same here".
I will assume you both used Xposed, since the only information is "oh my Private mode won't work". In which case you can just uninstall the framework, and that will fix private mode. If you tried the download booster, or something else, then you may have to flash the AP_G900A file from my tutorial in the general section, which will break your root until reroot and any changes you made to the system.

Rooted with xposed, few modules, few notification bar tile tweaks with sqlite, change the true to false to have UPS mode work, backed up and uninstalled and froze most bloat with tibu.

There are several ways that can be fixed.
It's in the Xposed Installer, if you have it click on framework and uninstall.
You can also follow this post, as it has worked for some.

or you can do a downgrade from the soft bricked guide in the general section.

Your mods should still be there, but just not working until you reinstall xposed. I'm not going to say that all of them will be, however. Right now I'm just uninstalling, then reinstalling xposed framework from the xposed installer, depending on whether I need the mods or private mode at that moment, until there is a working fix.
Other than that, you have to decide whether you want mods, or private mode. That's the disadvantage right now.

XposedOldIcon will work on any version. If you need the static busybox version, you use it - it doesn't serve a temporary purpose, it's there for "special" ROMs (see FAQ for more info), so the only answer I can give you is Try It And Seeā„¢.

Rooted and yes, I was able to change per-app DPI using an Xposed module. So far, no issues. Haven't done much but install Xposed and a bunch of long-awaited modules!
Rooted SM-G900A. Knox is NOT tripped, double checked. SuperSU manually installed using the .apk available from their website. The SuperSU app in the app store is not updated to the latest version yet. Froze LocalFOTA and AT&T Software Update using Titanium Backup so hopefully no OTA in the future. Also froze the security policy update app in Titanium Backup.

@skatin707 do not use build.prop to change the DPI. That makes a global change, you can use Xposed and then get the module called "App Settings" in the Xposed Download repo and change the DPI to something different for each app. Forums/browsers maybe you want 400dpi or smaller but games system etc you'll want to stay at a higher DPI to not have spacing issues. @runnernsd this also applies to you.

I wasn't going to use the build.prop to change it, I just wanted to know what the stock DPI was. I use textdroider and xposed modules to modify specific apps.

Turn off the phone, then, press power, home, and volume down button together and hold them until you reach a prompt that says press volume up to continue. Press volume up and you should see a Knox Counter in one of the lines listed. If it's 0x0 its not void, if it's 0x1 its tripped and therefore warranty is void.
I can't find the dpi in build.prop either but I actually want to do a global

Be warned that the "superuser mod" disables signature verification in your rom. This is a very bad idea and a huge security risk. I see this superuser mod recommended everywhere and I believe it's part of a very popular rom and nobody ever explains the risks involved with using it.
I'd advise using the Xposed module "DisableSignatureCheck" to temporarily disable signature verification when installing modded system apps and immediately enable signature verification again afterwards.
Edit - I apologise for not reading correctly (it's early here lol). I incorrectly thought you were going to flash the Superuser mod. I see that it's also part of the Xperia Xposed module.
However you enable it, it's still very important that you make sure you disable the Superuser mod after you've used it. ?

I read allready about the superuser mod few weeks ago, didn't tried it till now. I'm happy so far with my ( finally updated ) rooted clean .230 fw, LB. The widget isn't sooo important, but would be nice to have it again.
Maybe some smart guy will port the widget from 4.3 for 4.4, i'm personally not able to do this. Let's see!

Don't get me wrong. It's fine to temporarily disable signature verification to install a system app that's from a trusted source like this, then enable it again afterwards. I'm saying that it's not wise or safe at all to have it disabled permanently. ?
I just noticed another rom has been released with this superuser mod integrated, with no mention of what it is or the implications of it to enable users to make an informed decision whether to use the rom or not. There are potentially hundreds of users of these roms that are unaware that they're using unsecured roms on their devices. ?

Temp unroot for TomTom app

I would like to know if it's possible to temporary unroot my phone to use the TomTom app.
I saw that the superuser pro app has per app settings, could I use this to temporary unroot my phone?
Sorry to respond so late
You can temporarily unroot your phone safly with the checkbox in super SU (i tried it myself) I am unsure if rebooting while unrooting is okay.
If you get xposed you can use rootcloak, better than uprooting.

How to update xposed

Hi. I have cm12.1 and I use xposed framework v84, I saw there is an update to v85. Should I just flash the zip to get xposed updated? I don't know if there is a risk with modules on.
Thank you!
