Xposed framework & Clock plus Daydream don't get along well

I've been running into Daydream problems in conjuction with Xposed Installer. Specifically with Clock plus DayDream by @martinpelant.
You can find all the information I was able to gather here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54258696&postcount=31
As I think this is more a problem of that app I posted the information there. However, when I uninstalled Xposed Framework (that is to say the patches to the system, not the Installer nor the applications that use Xposed) the problem was also gone. Before that step I also tried unselecting ALL Xposed modules and rebooting, deactivating them, uninstalling, etc, etc. As I said the app began working correctly after uninstalling Xposed Framework and problem arose again upon installing the Framework. I must also mention that this problem only happen when using Clock plus Daydream as I tested with other "daydream" apps and they work properly.
In the aforementioned post you will find catlogs, a video and some other information that might be useful.
PS: I repurposed this post as I first posted the problem here before realizing the culpruit was Clock plus

I've been trying to solve this for the last couple of days. I'm not certain that this is an Xposed bug/problem but seems to be the most likely and that's why I post this here.

This looks like a short wakelock to me. As Xposed doesn't use any wakelocks, it seems unlikely that it's the culprit. I obviously can't speak for all the modules, so you should try if it still occurs if you disable them. Or even easier: Just press the uninstall button in Xposed Installer and reboot. If it still occurs, you can be sure that it's neither Xposed nor any module.

I'm really sorry @rovo89. I was in the middle of this post when I was able to find the problem. Somehow it seems I pressed the Post button on the unfinished post. Really sorry about that. The problem was (is) on Clock Plus Daydream. I will repurpose the OP as Xposed might still be somewhat responsible.

[Q] Magine TV

Hi,
i tried to find my 'problem', but all searches didnt show any result.
I am new to this forum.
My Hardware is a chinese Landvo 100, mediatek-chip 6572, Android 4.2.2
I just installed xposed framework 2.6.1 and the modules Blacklist, GravityBox and Swipeback.
All works perfect - thanks to the developers, great job
But: trying to start maginetv.apk i experience now a desaster... The app starts.. stops, starts again .. stops... then i have sound..
it goes back to the start screen etc..
I have to go to the apps menu to stop it...
Uninstalling xposed and rebooting helps - so this is not that a big problem, but still a little bit annoying.
If there is another workaround than unistalling xposed i would be happy to find that (my search showed nothing...)
Maybe someone found a solution?
regards

[Q] Lagging,camera problem after root

Hi guys, so i just rooted my T-mobile galaxy note 4 yesterday using the guideline. However, i have been experienced some problems with the phone:
1. Increase lagging when using Go keyboard, GoSMS,launch app, sometime freeze when flip through stock launcher...
2. Softcard is not working, so i install Xposed framework and download RootCloak. I dont know if this can intefere with the system?also no longer using update software in setting.
3. The stock camera occasionally failed to launch,or if it does launch, all i see is a black screen, and i can't figure out the reason?
Please help,any suggestion at all to what maybe the cause of all this?
PS: If i want to unroot and go back to stock T-mobile rom before how can i do it? And is it possible to un trip Knox?
Thanks!

With all of those play store apps you have installed it's a wonder
that you don't have even more issues than you are already having.
Uninstall the Go keyboard and all the Go applications then reboot
your phone so you can find out whether they are to blame for your
lagging and freezing. Be sure to make the stock keyboard as default.
None of the play store apps have yet been updated for our new phones
so many of them are not fully compatible yet and some of them do not
play nice with some of the default apps which comes with our phones.
Especially the xposed and it's modules can and sometimes do interfere
with the normal operation of our new phones and some of it's apps.
The developers of xposed will hopefully start updating it soon so it will
be a lot more compatible with our phones and will no longer have issues.
I am fairly confident that if you uninstall xposed framework and it's modules
then reboot the phone you will no longer have those issues you mentioned.
And no, you cannot un-trip knox...........
Good luck!

In all honesty this lag issue is a wide spread issue, not sure if it's a phone batch issue or what but I took mine back to tmobile and even they say people have called to exchange device due to extreme lag where the phone will be un responsive, the camera won't work, switching between apps can to 10 to 30 seconds to switch, and I'm sure most these are normal users. In terms of performance the note 3 ran circles around the note 4 so far until we can a debloated custom rim, I think we're finally seeing that bloat ware be phone experience killers. Just to see the difference I had over 400 apps, xposed mods, etc installed on my note3, everything handled smooth even while trying to make it crash running a tweaked rom.

Try a benchmark test a few times. I think that ***** slaps the cpu and wakes it up. Seriously, it helped on my phone.
BTW. My geekbench score was lower than an 801 snapdragon.

so i install Xposed framework and download RootCloak.

Wasn't there a problem with Xposed slowing things down and breaking things?

yes, but no. I think it was more of a root problem since root broke S health which made our phones lag like a mother. I really havent noticed any lag with exception of the task manager since having it though.

I would used xposed and use wanam. Use it to use the secure storage fix. Clear s health cache and data and reboot. This will fix the lag.

May have a fix for the random lagginess but requires root

Just want to compare to others as of what I may have found. After rooting my watch and installing the custom rom from janjan I was still getting the random lag. I decided to try my hand at removing a few apps just in case it could be one of the of those. I removed a few apps installed by my phone as I don't use them but the lag was still there. Lastly I removed the zenwatch manager (the app used for some custom watch faces and a few features that are not all that super useful). After removing this I have not noticed any more random slow downs. Will report back after a few more days but I think that this may solve the random lag issue.

Only beware; you'll lose the upper and lower button functionality.

That's the first thing I thought of too but after disabling zenwatch manager
by freezing it on my S7 Edge phone both of the programmable buttons still
worked fine and remain programmable.
I even checked to see if I can still re-assign the top and bottom buttons and
found that I could just like before I froze zenwatch manager.
After freezing zenwatch manager I still have the zenwatch manager icon in my watch along
with all the other apps but when clicking on it it tells me to install zenwatch manager so I
know that after freezing it it no longer is functioning on my watch.
So far I can tell the difference before&after freezing/disabling zenwatch manager and I have
found that I can feel and see the difference and it is true that without zenwatch manager the
watch is noticeably faster and quicker without any lag or stuttering.
My zenwatch 3 also suffered from a lot of random lag, stuttering and unresponsiveness
before I froze/disabled zenwatch manager. My watch is not rooted and I am not using twrp.
It's 100% stock waiting patiently for the Android Wear 2.0 update.
@texanman is right about zenwatch manager.
Have a great day!

I had switch to an old iphone, while I'm waiting for my new one to come and paired the watch. Now the watch is flying, no lag at all, everythings is super smooth. So weird...
I'll try this when I switch back to android. Should I install Zenwatch Manager and then disabling it ? Or is it working too if I just not install it ?

Zenwatch Manager has never been a requirement, it's an optional add-on.
It can be installed before or after setting up the watch, it does not matter.
Good luck, have a great day!

You are right, zenwatch manager did contain the required firmware patch for the remap buttons
and the first time we installed the updated zenwatch manager it flashed the firmware patch to
the watch's firmware get the two remap'able buttons to work.
Once zenwatch manager flashed the remap button patch there is no more
need for zenwatch manager for that purpose.
Android Wear 2.0 will not need zenwatch manager for the firmware patch
because the new v2.0 firmware will already have the remap feature in it.
Good luck, have a great day!

We have to wait and actually see what Asus did to 2.0. I would not jump to conclusion just yet, even if it is highly possible the stock remapping function could be there.
And the zw manager is not needed for remapping to work. First time you push any button the button remap app will show up

I already booted and installed twrp recovery, so far all the rooting instructions that I have
read all say that after rooting we will still not get a writeable /system which means it will
not be possible to edit the build--prop file or any other file which is located in /system .
How did you root your watch? - Did you use any of the methods outlined here in this
xda zenwatch 3 forum? - If you have used any of the methods here in this forum did
you check if /system is read and writable ?
Thanks in advance.

Just a note...
I disabled the ASUS Manager but was still laggy.
Used "Advanced settings" app to clear all data in ASUS Manager
Lagginess FINALLY gone
Hopefully it will stay that way

Any way to apply this fix to AW 2.0? I mean i did what @WaxysDargle did but i still see stutters and lag (especially when using play music).

i did this on 2.0.
make sure to disable the app, force stop it and then clear all the data. you may need to force stop and clear data a couple of times

I also found that adjusting the animation scale from 1x to 0.5X or none helps. this is under the developer options settings.

so disabling the app also disables the watchfaces and the "dock mode" face, right? at least this did for me. I'm fine using watchmaker, but would like to keep the night time dock screen.
is there a way to enable this after disabling the app?
thanks!

i believe this is the case for me too. i actually lost all of my watch faces.
i have no idea if what you are asking is possible, but i seriously doubt it. you might be able to find an APK somehwere and sideload it for the watchface only.
personally, i forgot all about the watch faces when the laginess vanished. watch was unusable out of the box.

Do you all recommend disabling the Zen Manager app on your phone or on your watch (or both)?
Hoping to get better performance.
Thanks!

from my understanding, the ZM app on the phone is NOT required.
as I mentioned earlier, I tried disabling the app on the watch, but did not see any difference.
i'm going to try some other settings adjustments (including disabling the fitness app) to see if that helps.
also trying to disable "smart reply" and just keep "ok google" enabled.

I tried all of these things and none of them had a significant impact on the watch's responsiveness or speed.
The thing that finally fixed my lag was editing build.prop and changing debug.composition.type to gpu in the two places it appears. I also changed ro.core_ctl_min_cpu from 2 to 4, removed zenfit from /system/apps, and disabled Zenwatch Manager from the watch (couldn't find an apk for it on the filesystem). The gpu parameter fixed the lag - it's just about completely gone and the UI is about as smooth as my Moto 360 v2, and I think the min CPU setting is responsible for significantly speeding up actions like launching assistant.
I've been meaning to post a writeup but haven't had the time. Two threads that were extremely helpful are this one and this one (linked to from the first). The only downside to following these instructions is I get a warning about the OS not being validated because dm-verify is turned off. Not sure if I can turn it back on with a modified build.prop, but I'm not concerned because I finally have a smooth, properly functioning watch.

Editing the build.prop on the phone or watch? And if so, I presume you have rooted the watch?
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I didn't root. Fundamentally all you need to do is get the watch booted into twrp one time so you can mount /system, adb pull build.prop, make the edits I mentioned, then adb push it back and reboot.

Is there any way to disable full screen keyboard in landscape?

Hi. I use a tablet permanently in landscape mode. But in many apps when keyboard pop up, it uses all the screen. In many cases you don't even see what you typing regardless the all screen view.. I really don't understand why they made it this way. I remember in past there was an xposed plugin to fix this. Can't be done something with magisk? I think it is just to much to install xposed only for this. Is there any way to use xposed only for this, without making the system slower?
Thanks,

It's so so annoying, I fully agree! Unfortuately I don't know other ways to do that, but you caught my attention with this Xposed module... Do you remember its name? If it's old, it probably won't work on newer Androids, but maybe worth a shot since I use Xposed

Actually I did a quick research and found out that this module is present in Play Store. And moreover, it's still working on Android 11! Thank you so much for the hint!
As for Xposed, these days we have much more device-friendly Xposed solution named LSPosed. It allows to hook only the apps that are necessary for a module to work. I really recommend it for you if you won't find any other solution. Also I use many other useful modules, if you are rooted and familiar with Xposed to some extent, it's a great field to explore

I readed that an xposed plugin, Apps settings reborn, is still has a working version of full screen keyboard fix per app, and dpi changing per app. And jt works in android 11.. It looks good.

Oh, I have this module installed too and didnt know it has this feature! By the way, LSPosed doesnt have the official thread on XDA (the one existing is unofficial, created by a regular user to discuss about it), but they have official Telegram chat and channel, easy to find

Well i installed it, it looks promising. But for full screen keyboard fix, it doesn't looks like app settings reborn sstting is working.. Most other settings work, so it looks like, some do, some doesn't.. Perhaps i must find an xposed plugin especially for this if it still works..
I'll post if i have a solution.

Edit, it works after all. I set to not display keyboard in full screen, to the app i wanted + system ui + SwiftKey keyboard.. And reboot. Something of all this did the trick..
