TowelRoot

Wondering if anyone has tried towelroot on 4.3 for locked bootloaders, it says on the site that theoretically it should support any device build built before June 3rd.
I understand we have a locked bootloader but so does the Verizon and AT&T S5

Worked for me
I used it and it seems to work fine. Very easy, go the towelroot.com site, click on the symbol and download the app.I enabled installing from non-secure sources in settings/security. I installed the .apk and it ran, rebooted automically and I now have root. I am running Stock 9.2.A.0.295 now rooted without all the downgrading etc. Sweet! You must have read the same article on Androidpolice that I read.

Wow! :laugh:

Worked on my unlocked Xperia T, i can grant SU rights to applications, but I cannot update the supersu binary. Anyone else have this problem or is it my device ?

AT&T Build
Works on my AT&T Xperia TL, Android 4.1.2; Build 9.1.F.1.120.

1. With the help of a file manger install TowelRoot
2. Install modified FlashgordonBB , and then with it PhilZ Recovery . Don't use the "normal" Flashgordon.
3. Flash Update Supesu in Recovery.
4.Reboot and install Supersu.
Set.

All right and I am grateful, too, certainly. That man deserves a beer or two, and some pretty girls, too.
But 150 pages of thanks - as great as it is - I think I'll just stick here.

Since rooting my LB Xperia T yesterday, I'm experiencing frequent disconnects in my phonecalls.
Anyone else has similar issues?

If you have problems with the play store SuperSU, use this: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip

May be we should report here which Xperia models have been rooted successfully using Towelroot?

I don't think its good idea becouse some ppls can't root with it sucessfuly.

So SuperSu is advising an Update
So apparently, SuperSu is now offering an update - I was wondering what version, so I launched SuperSu and it updated after I allowed it, choosing "Normal" instead of TWRP/CWM - because I don't have a recovery installed. It worked fine and it suggested a reboot - which after that I had version 2.0. Works great.

Was interested in installing your rom, but had a few questions first about the process of how to get the rom working on my AT&T S5.

I used towelroot to root which is much easier, but the other method should work as well.
As long as you use the stock ROM slot, you shouldn't have any issues.

I believe they are located in either a framework apk or the settings apk. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the PC with the modified files on it until later tonight. Feel free to do some digging around for it until I find it and post my results here.

Hey, I found both of them and deleted them. I reloaded the Rom and it looks like they are still there they just look a little different. Can I delete all Textfeild.png files?

You COULD, but you might get crashes. I do have an updated framework apk that I just uploaded if you want to manually install it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2941846.

Trying it out now!

I would use 3.1. I have 3.15 uploaded since I haven't yet found any breaking bugs yet if you want the latest. Just wipe cache and dalvik them flash 3.15 of you're already running one of my builds.

Something is wrong with the google login, even if I try to flash over 3.1 with 3.15 after having logged into google with 3.1 the play store won't load.

Did you wipe system at least before reverting back to 3.1?

3.15?
I can't seem to find the changelog for 3.15, the changelog in the drive folder doesn't reach 3.15
Also, whenever I install 3.15 is says "android is updating, optimizing apps" on first boot, then google play doesn't work.
Installed like:
Wipe Format-> reboot-> fix permissions-> Install 3.1-> Install superuser-> set up google-> wipe cache/dalvik-> install 3.15-> install su-> fix permissions
3.1 works great though, and is great, so I guess I'll stick with that unless I missed something simple..

hey
can i dirty flash 3.2 over 3.15?

I wasn't reverting back, I was trying to install 3.15. I did it to work by first installing 3.1 and updating google apps and then flashing over with 3.15. It's a work around.
A 3.15 clean install will not allow google sign in, and yes I wipe/format all directories, including system. and I make sure System is mounted before wiping.

[TUTORIAL] How to install Xposed Framework on Huawei P8 Lite

Hey guys!
Please notice this is my first xda post. I tried 2 days to make xPosed work on my P8 Lite and that would be just rude not to show you the exact way. So, there we go.
Tested and proven working on EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0.1. I've got some trouble with modules like Gravity Box, but I'm on my way of solving them.
I take no responsibility if you screw up. Do this tutorial step by step and be careful.
Xposed manual zip installer
(this will come in handy in step 7 and further)
EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0.*: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk21/arm64/xposed-v78-sdk21-arm64.zip (tested by me, working)
EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1.1: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk22/arm64/xposed-v78-sdk22-arm64.zip (tested by community, seems to work )
EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64.zip (might be a bit problematic, because result seems to be random, although I think you should be fine)
Installing Xposed Framework
Make sure you are a patient person. Some operations may require waiting, trying or even unbricking your device!
Unlock bootloader and root your phone. You can use (this tutorial).
Download and install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk but don't install the framework.
This step is really messy. Firmwares differ a lot, but you should find appropriate file/line/folder in your device. Just remember about step 1)
Using any root browser (I'm using Root Browser) open your /system/build.prop file (on some firmwares the location can be /system/emui/base/prop/ or cust/hw/eu/local.prop thanks @Jak08)
Add those lines to the build.prop file. If they exist already, change their values (or simply delete them and add new ones):
Code:
ro.config.themecolor=0
ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
NOTE: In some cases modifying ro.config.themecolor may cause bootloop. I recommend you try first time without this line!!!!
Save the file granting superuser permissions
Install TWRP (as described here)
Download and place in your root internal storage directory previously downloaded zip file.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode (you can use adb reboot recovery command, or you can simply start your phone holding power and volume up button but BE CAREFUL: PLUG OUT YOUR USB CABLE!!! if you decided to start it up without adb. If you won't, you'll go into bootloader mode) And also, step 1.
Install zip package
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot your phone to system
First time it can take up to 15 minutes to boot so don't panic (hey, step 1!). If nothing happens after 30 minutes, here's how you unbrick it. Notice that you only have to re-flash the system partition.
Proof it's working and what modules I'm using is in attachments. GravityBox has several problems, other than that, everything's good.
FAQ/Troubleshooter:
Q: Why do I get an error while...
A: Yeah, make sure you've got your bootloader unlocked and phone rooted correctly. You can check root with any 'root checker' app from store
Q: I'm booting into EMUI recovery instead of TWRP. Will it do the work?
A: No. You have to have TWRP installed, otherwise you won't be able to flash zip correctly and wipe cache.
Q: Can I flash zip in bootloader?
A: No! I had that idea once and it gave me hours of recovery. Don't even try.
Q: My modules modifying looks won't work. Why?
A: Make sure you modified build.prop as told
Who do you credit this solution to?
A: mfbcool and some guy at polish Android forum gave suggestion about lines in build.prop and rovo89 created Xposed. Other than that, I figured out everything by myself. I just gave you links to the parts I did by myself and did't want to describe here.
It isn't working. I bricked my phone. What to do?
A: Unbrick it, silly.
It is working. How can I thank you?
A: I think there's an option to say thanks here. Give me and rovo89 thumb up and we're fine.

It doesn't work for me with this method. It says Xposed Framework version 83 is installed but not active. The logs are empty.
Im on android 6.0 b550

In that case you have to make sure that ro.config.hwtheme is set to 0. What you get is working Xposed Framework WITHOUT Resource Hooks. Huaweii Theme Engine works the same way as Xposed so one of those has to work or not. Make sure you saved your build.prop file properly.
Also, if your firmware has /system/emui/base/prop/local.prop, update that too.
Thanks for sharing your experience,
Kajtek

It works.
Thanks.

if someone tried this on B551?

No worries, bro. I understand that you are still stick. Take your time though.
And yeah, I am willing to wait several days so you can go ahead and update to MM and if it is successful I will try to install the Xposed Framework. Sorry, I'm a beginner on tweaking phones especially this Xposed Framework. Just wanted to have it because all rooted apps need the Xposed Framework Thanks bro, cheers!

Hey bro, can I use latest version of Xposed? This is on 78. There is a 84 version.

I would just confirm that on B550 MM work like a charm
i used :
xposed-v84-sdk23-arm64.zip
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
and i have just modified the buil.prop as described
hwtheme=0
hw_theme=0
themecolor not added
my phone take up to 30 min to boot the first time, so be patient
PS remember that the theme engine will not work anymore and you are unable to change the theme on the phone

Personally I have xposed fully working without edit my build prop, And my devices and my quick toogles is theme when I switch between theme, how and why I don't know.(i like tw theme) I post screenshoot when Im back at home.
But I have use a others modified xposed version (not by me)

Old codger needs some help getting Xposed Framework installed

I'm an old guy who is new to making modifications to my phone and I really need some help.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a stock ROM and running Android 5.01. I've installed TWRP and made a backup. From there, I'm a little lost. From the reading that I've done, I know that Samsung has a bootloop issue. I've downloaded the Xposed ZIP for Samsung but in the details it said it runs on Android 5.1 and above. Here is what I need to know.
1. Will the modified framework work on 5.01 or is there another version of Xposed that I should be running?
2. Does anyone know if there is a written guide or a good step by step video that can walk me through the setup? Most of the stuff that I'm reading is written for people with more background in Android modifications than I actually have. I'm kind of looking for something written for a novice, that takes me through all of the steps.
3. A really basic question here that will give you an idea of my experience level. Everything I've read about Xposed on the Note 4 says that you have to flash the framework to the phone. How do you do that? I know that may sound like a stupid question but I'm a beginner.
Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to XDA.
Please have a look at this thread and read post #2.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118
There you'll find all required information about how to identify the correct framework version for yourself. You have to use the framework version by XDA member arter97. A link to the corresponding thread can be found in the above mentioned post #2.
You have mostly set up everything that you need for flashing Xposed. Flashing means installing a file (either .zip or .img) through recovery. TWRP is a custom recovery, thus enabling users to flash custom modifications such as Xposed or custom ROM's. Just enter TWRP, chose Install, navigate to the file you want to install and proceed.
For video tutorials, just search YouTube for "flashing Xposed Lollipop Samsung" (or similar).
If you have further questions about the framework, please use the corresponding thread of arter97.
As an alternative, search XDA for "Material Design Xposed Installer". You'll find a thread of an unofficial version of the Xposed Installer app, which can help you to find and install the correct version in a more easier way. Don't worry about the description "unofficial", it is the same as the official version, beside the option to download and install framework versions for not officially supported versions like the one you need.

Thank you. Have run into another issue though and need further assistance.

Thank you for posting this thread. It helped me a lot but I've run into another issue. Specifically, deodexing my ROM. I've spent the better part of the past day researching this.
The thread you gave me has a link to a deodexing tool but I can't get it to work on the phone since windows 10 doesn't recognize the phone as a logical drive with a letter. Instead, it comes up by its name: Ganymede
Is there another way that you know of to deodex the ROM? I know that Titanium Backup Pro does deodexing but only for apps. They have a disclaimer that says they don't impact framework... which is what I'm assuming that I need to do. Or is there already a deodexed version of the stock Samsung ROM available to use? Again, I'm new to this so I really don't know what I'm looking for.

Thank you for posting this thread. It helped me a lot but I've run into another issue. Specifically, deodexing my ROM. I've spent the better part of the past day researching this.

I am not familiar with how to deodex a ROM as I haven't done this before. But there is a dedicated sub-forum here on XDA for the Note 4 (even for different carriers, if this applies to you). A quick search for "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" will bring up all sub-forums. Identify the correct one for your device and check out the Q&A section or ROM development sections there. You might find either a guide about how to deodex a ROM, a deodexed ROM itself or a custom ROM, which does not necessarily need to be deodexed if it is based on an Android version different from 5.0.1.
As I am not familiar with both the Note 4 as well as the process of deodexing a ROM, I am afraid that I might be of no further help here. Hopefully you'll find some way in the above mentioned sub-forum.

Thank you very much. I'll check out the other forums. I really appreciate your help!

Can I trick an app into thinking i gave her premissions? (no root)

I have an app which asks for permission to my contacts in order to start. (She is installed but won't work until ill give her the permission for my contacts).
Is there any way to make her think she has Permissions to my contacts without giving her?
Or to hide the real contacts so she won't be able to see them?
I looked around and saw Xprivacy but I have no root so is there any other option?
Thank You

Deleted?

That app is a big no-no here on xda, so i suggest you edit your post and remove it.
Can you provide more details, like your device and your android version? Xprivacy works up to marshmallow, if you're on Nougat you can try xposed extension protect my privacy, but i think it requires root too.
Since your have xposed installed, why don't you install root? I'm assuming you have a custom recovery to flash xposed so root should not be an issue.

Sorry, but I've seen your post in the xposed general forums, so i assumed you were looking for a n xposed related solution.
I do remember an app that used to decompile and recompile apks while removing permission requirement, but that was old and i can not remember the exact name, maybe try an app that gives you access to appOps on your rom to control access from there?

That app is considered warez/promotes cracking other apps, so it's against xda rules
