[Q] howto delete old module versions? - Xposed General

using xposed frameworks for long time now, I have a lot of old versions of my modules on phone
where are this module versions stored?
how can I delete this old versions I never will reuse/reinstall again?
Frank

Not sure it will help, as you surely noticed that before. Anyway.... In the "Modules" section of Xposed, a long press on the module you want to get rid of will bring you the option you're looking for.

To add to what Roudier said, modules are just like normal apps and can be uninstalled the same way.

I think everyone misunderstood the question.
I think he's asking where the old versions of each module are stored, as it's possible to uninstall the latest version of a module and install an older version that you had installed without downloading it again.
Basically, where are the downloaded files stored?

That's handled by the download manager, it's usually cleared after a reboot if I'm not mistaken.
Doesn't sound like that's what he's asking about, though.

He's seems to be specifically asking about old versions of modules there.
In any case, I actually wanted to know where old versions of installed modules were stored so I could delete them and your reply provided the required information. They were all in the download manager and were not deleted after a reboot, so I manually deleted the specific old versions of modules that were no longer required. Thanks.

I deleted them via the download manager.
Enter it via "Downloads" in your app drawer, then long press any item you want to delete and a trash icon should show up to allow you to delete them (at least that's how it works on my device).

Hi,
that's easy
I must confess that I rarely used the App Drawer and the download app I've never particularly noticed
This is about to change, thanks for the hint :good:

(Updated 3/sept)*****solved!***** CAMERA SAVE TO SD CARD WITH GOOGLE EDITION ROMS!!!!

Updated XposedInstaller 3/sept
As you all want to save your photos/videos to your external card (like I wanted), I give you my solution for this problem.
The solution is based on these two threads:
- Pictures2SD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408880
- XposedFramework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Thanks to davisNT and rovo89
After some research here is my short method to make your Google Edition saving photos/videos to external card:
1. I attached two files, you have to download them to your phone
2. Install de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v18_e88d8b.apk
3. Launch the Xposed Installer, give it root, and click on "Install/Update"
4. Reboot your phone
5. Install Pictures2SD_102.apk
6. Launch Xposed Installer, go to the modules page and select the checkbox for Picture2SD
7. Reboot and it's done
I hope I don't forget anything, and I'm sure you can do it yourself if I missed something.

Not sure why, but my phone will not boot after the install. I installed per directions and did use the large button. I rebooted and it is now not getting past the Google screen. I will wipe phone and try again. Anybody else tried this out yet?
I am sure I did something wrong, not sure what it is.
Wait a minute, it finally rebooted after 5 tries. I will see what happens now.
Nope, still has same error and will not load P2SD
Thanks for sharing. However this is not your work, so I think in your OP you should give credit to the people that created Pictures2SD and Xposed Framework.

I didn't say it is my work. I created this thread with my own words without copying anything, because a lot of people wrote in Galaxy S4 sections that Google Edition ROMs haven't got this function and cannot be solved. I also needed this, and made a research, and it was not fast. And because those threads you mentioned are far from the Galaxy S4 sections, and not completely understandable seperately for almost everybody, I finalized and simplified here as the real solution. Cheers!

I just edited the system folder to add media r/w permissions and it works that way. Thanks for taking the time to work on this. It is easier than editing the system folder (and probably safer), but I have done the edit and will just use it that way.
everything went smooth
open up camera app and its asking me to install an SD card into phone before using camera.... i have a 64Gb card...
formatted SD card as well.. still no change
Anyone solved this challenge for CM10.2?
Would love to use CM10.2 for a while but the lack of pic to SD makes that a bigger pain than it should be.

[WORKAROUND][Xposed for Android 5.1] Make ~99% of modules work.

This has been fixed xda post​Note: This is a temporary solution until someone fixes this in Xposed. Also I use my module "SnapColors" as a example throughout this post but this fix should for work any module. I've tested it with other modules and it works. If the module did not previously work on 5.0 then ignore this post and continue on with life.
TL;DR Version:
I found a temporary solution of getting modules to work on 5.1 for modules that worked on 5.0 but don't work on 5.1.
Non-TL;DR Version: Backstory and how I found his temporary solution
So a couple days ago I decided to start working on bring my module(s) to Xposed running on 5.1. In doing so what I noticed with a lot of the modules they seem to crash the app without throwing any kind of error whatsoever. Take for example one of my modules "SnapColors", if SnapColors was enabled in Xposed Installer SnapChat would always crash without throwing any error it wouldn't even say anything along the lines of "process has stopped unexpectedly" it would just close the app. So because of this behavior it led me to believe something was wrong with Xposed and not with my module(s). So I went thought what could be broken in Xposed thats causing this because 5.0 is just one up to 5.1 so the changes couldn't be that big. I went though the things that could cause this and came across "dalvik-cache" I remember reading somewhere Xposed makes some changes to the cache file (.dex) thats created during the creation of dalvik-cache files. So then I thought what if in 5.1 a small change was made to the process of making the dalvik cache files and thats what is causing the problem. So I decided to delete the dalvik cache file for SnapChat which is what my module was hooking into, then I tried opening SnapChat again but it crashed so I tried opening it again and what do you know it opened without any problems with my module fully working without any problems. The fix was kind of a guess too.
The fix/Solution
Note: If you reboot your device you have to do the fix again. Also you are deleting the dalvik cache so you won't benefit from it any more for the app(s) you delete it for. Unless you reboot then everything gets reverted.
What you have to do is delete the dalvik cache file for the app the module is for.
Example: SnapColors a module for SnapChat, so we have to delete the dalvik cache file for SnapChat.
What you need:
1) A file manager with root access, or terminal knowledge.
2) Package name example for SnapChat its "com.snapchat.android". How to get the package name look below theres a how to.
Steps for deleting the cache file:
Make sure the app is not running in the background close it if it is.
Method 1) Via terminal command:
Code:
cd /data/dalvik-cache/arm/ && rm [email protected]@"package name here without the quotes"*
Example command for SnapChat would be don't forget the "*" at the end:
Code:
cd /data/dalvik-cache/arm/ && rm [email protected]@com.snapchat.android*
Method 2) Via file manager: Navigate to /data/dalvik-cache/arm/ look for a file starting with the name [email protected]@"package name here without the quotes".apk delete this file and thats it.
Now try and open the app if it doesn't work close the app then try opening it again. make sure that apps not running in the background before trying again.
Getting package name
Via terminal command:
Code:
ls /data/data/ | grep "the app name here without quotes"
Via app: Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricsheep.asi
Open it-> Apps tab-> Tap the app-> look for "Package name:" should be the first thing.
Great job figuring that out! I hope @romracer takes a look at it and releases an update with permanent fix

I said ~95% because some modules need to be updated strictly for lollipop and won't work no matter what. Its more like 99% but 95% just in case.

Something I dont understand, for almost every module in xposed on every version of android, you must enable that module in xposed and reboot smartphone to get it work... is it true?
I have tried Gravitybox LP and some more modules like Flat Style Bar Indicators, with deleting them in /data/dalvik-cache/arm/ but they dont work at all, i have tried couple of times starting them.
Also I tried deleting them in twrp file manager and I have bootloop (but no worries I deleted those modules and started the phone )
Am I doing something wrong?

After installing a module you must enable it and then do a reboot/soft reboot yes that is true. Gravitybox LP and Flat Style Bar Indicators both modify the android system itself so theres nothing we can really do until someone fixes this bug in Xposed's code.
What if we modify the permissions or the file itself so we don't have to constantly delete it upon reboots?

Android doesn't like it when the permissions are changed for a cache file so it'll just fc the app.

Xposed for Lollipop and Sygic causing problems?

Ive read that Xposed for Lollipop has issues with Sygic.
Is this true??
UPDATE 2015 10 10: rovo89 has taken a personal look at the problem and it seems to be fixed in later versions of Xposed. Here is his comments thruout this thread if you don't want to read the entire thread (like I had to do):
rovo89 said:
Could you try this test build please? It fixes a problem that results in crashes (dump contains "art::Field_get"). It also disables Xposed's resource hooking mechanisms inside the Sygic process, as they have implemented something very similar which also replaces resources at low level.
Click to expand...

rovo89 said:
Forgot to mention that after flashing this, you have to clear the Dalvik cache or reinstall Sygic. Obviously, tests only make sense if you're using the original/unpatched app and experience crashes with Xposed v70.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
rovo89 said:
That's totally correct, but for the average user, it's a much simpler to simply delete the whole cache or reinstall the app.
Cool, thanks for testing! So I'll publish an official update soon with these fixes and also commit and push them to GitHub. I'm pretty sure that the authors of unofficial versions will quickly pick them up.

rovo89 said:
There's already an option that disables resource hooking completely for the whole ROM. That's useful in case the ROM itself comes with resource-modifying code. Sygic is the first application I'm aware of that "hacks" the system code at such a low level. So I don't think such an option would be required, and in most cases, people wouldn't know exactly when to use it, which would result in strange bug reports for modules which stop working if you disable the wrong thing.

Sygic is working fine for me with v71 - as much as I could test without buying premium. If you still have issues, please send me the logcat of the crash. I can't exclude that there are still issues, but I can't look at them without the log.

rovo89 said:
I can't make any sense out of this. It's looking for the class com.flurry.android.FlurryAgent and can't find it. It doesn't seem to use the app's class loader though but the system class loader, so maybe that's a bug on their side. Then again, this might not even be the root cause, as it only tries to load this class because something in Android_ContactsReadNext seems to have failed. If you use any kind of privacy app or ROM feature that might block access to contacts, that could be the reason. It might also be a contact with invalid or too long fields. Have you tried if the same issues appear without Xposed?

You probably mean the general issues with Sygic that I've fixed with v71. There seems to be an (individual?) issue where the app still crashes when going to the contact selection, but works fine otherwise.

Simply boot into TWRP, and mount system, then Advanced -> File Manager then do the following:
Go into /system/bin/ and delete app_process32 and app_process32_xposed
Rename app_process32_original to app_process32
Delete dex2oat and rename dex2oat.orig to dex2oat
Repeat the above step for oatdump and patchoat
Go up a directory and then into the lib directory
Delete libart.so and rename libart.so.orig to libart.so
Repeat the above step for libart-compiler.so, libart-disassembler.so and libsigchain.so
Delete libxposed_art.so
Go up a directory and delete xposed.prop
Go into framework directory and delete XposedBridge.jar
Reboot your device.
Yeah, Sygic is completely broken with Android 5.0 and Xposed.
Any fix to sygic 15.x.x on android 5 + xposed?
Thanks all!!!
AFAIK, Sygic is working on this problem, but it is a low priority issue for them, so they didn't wrote any ETA.
Well. That's a big problem. I've been waiting patiently for xposed and now that it works I cannot use Sygic (btw it costed me 15€ Eur+Russia). How can I get back to the version that works with xposed? Legally, I mean. Or can anybody try that module which hides root for a specific app? I don't remember its name. Please.

Legally, you should try to search and download an official apk of version 15.0.4, install it and disable auto update in Play Store.
The app you search for is called RootCloak but it does not make any difference.

Well. To be onest with you I found only modded apk. And it bothers me because I don't wanna use a cracked app when I paid for it. Thanks anyway. No xposed for now.
Can someone give the 15.0.4 package. The support gives me only the 15.0.9 package which is crashing at start too..
Thanks
I'm running Sygic 14.7.4 on my device with Xposed and it's fine with 2014.09 TA maps. 15.x.x does not work-crashes.
Same issue here, tried to find 15.0.4 as well, but only cracked versions laying around which I don't want. There are basically two options:
- disable xposed, reboot, use Sygic, then enable xposed, reboot (time consuming)
- use another navigation (Copilot, Tomtom,..)

Disable xposed? How? Did you try disabling all the modules? The problem is that if you want to disable xposed completely it is a long process. I mean I cannot wait 20 minutes every time. And I don't wanna use a very old version of the app. There should be a workaround.
Surely, this is Sygic 15.0.4 original (official) version:

Create an empty file /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed:
For example from TWRP or terminal type this command and reboot:
Code:
touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled
You can create flashable file, or terminal shortcut to speed up the process. To enable Xposed again, just delete the "disabled" file (through file manager or from terminal again).

I've tried 15.0.4 it's working but crashing during navigation, the moment you start navigation it'll crash. Checked with Nexus 7 DU 5.1.1 and Xiaomi Mi3 Mokee 5.1.1.

export magisk module list

Exist an easy way to export magisk module list? Export and import?
Clarifications needed... Which list are you talking about? The entire Magisk repo or just the ones you've installed (I'm gonna guess the latter)? And for what purpose?

only the one i have installed. full list for backup / reinstall purpose. installed and not active. xposed ha a function to export /import list. I like it.
If you just need a backup, make a backup of the Magisk image (/data/adb/magisk.img). That's where all modules are kept (for now, this might change in a future version of Magisk).

Where are the ZIP files located, in case I just want to backup those rather than the img?

Zip files are not saved. It gets extracted in to the location as mentioned in this thread. But each time you flash a module the zip file is downloaded in to Download folder of your internal storage. Save it for future use.
Now /data/adb/magisk.img is no more used... What folder must I backup?

If you just need a backup, make a backup of the Magisk image (/data/adb/magisk.img). That's where all modules are kept (for now, this might change in a future version of Magisk).

That's an old post you're quoting, and the last part of it has come true...
All modules are currently stored in /data/adb/modules.

All modules are currently stored in /data/adb/modules. Would the concept of copying the files back to the correct location still work after a reboot?

I actually havent tried it since the change from the img method
I can tell you i do backup and restore the magisk.db file....i have a Galaxy Active2 Watch, and if it even sniffs root i have to reset the watch and start over to get Samsung Pay working. So i flash the ROM/GApps, then Magisk, reboot and setup the ROM and Magisk, set my Android ID back to the previous one (to avoid having to reset the Watch, and have it connectable in Gear app) then copy the magisk.db to /data/adb, then reboot. Then enable MagiskHide, and hide Magisk Manager. When i restore my apps the Samsung ones are already in the MagiskHide list and Samsung Pay works as before, once i reconnect the watch.
Next time i flash ill try copying back the /data/adb/modules and let you know

Just a quick update
I was about to flash a new ROM for testing, and thought about doing the test...copy the modules folder from /data/adb, and restore on new ROM and then realised that not all modules im using are going to like that, as some set symbolic links during install and some now use filesystem overlays as well (thinking busybox and Vanced Youtube)
Ive just decided rather than copying im going to stick with what works 100%, and install them by hand one by one

Thanks for the update.

Downloaded a module from magiskroot.net - safe?

So like a total dumbass I didn't check the source and downloaded a module (fde.ai) from magiskroot.net . Seemed to install fine, boot took a bit longer than usual, after boot the module was not listed in Magisk manager.
Is that site safe?
Thanks!
PS I guess I'm asking opinions about the specific site...
I would investigate and open the zip and look what it changes? Did you install it in recovery or in magisk?
I don't know that site.

In Magisk. I'm trying to search for added files in the system right now, nothing found so far. I have also opened the zip (just before your reply) but I'm not sure I'll be able to decipher...

a magisk module wouldn't change system files it'll just create a folder in data/adb/modules so look there for strange folders

Only the few, known modules there. Should I assume I'm ok then?

not sure it might have done something else like put a script that magisk run on boot or something maybe send me this module in pm and I'll look at what's in there
Sure thing, thanks. Also, here is the Magisk log:
