Hello there.
I am having problems getting the Xposed to work on my i9305.
The ROM is a rooted stock Touchwiz 4.3.
Classic installation works - the app_process file gets overwritten.
I also used the TWRP zip flashing method which also seems to work - the app_process file gets overwritten.
Take a look at the screenshots.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Just wondering if there is a mechanism for running a custom post install script after flashing a rom, specifically CM.
There are things that I always do after I flash a rom and it would be nice to be able to do these as a part of the flashing process, so I don't forget. For example, symlinking /system/etc/hosts to /data/data/hosts. I also would like to remove the videos app as it serves no purpose since the 3D gallery displays my videos in it.
It would be awesome if I could have a script on the SD card that would just get executed right before reboot after the rom was flashed.
A bit less elegant than what you're suggesting, but I just made an update.zip to do that symlinking. Have to apply it with ROM Manager after flashing (so an extra reboot when flashing a new rom), but it beats booting into recovery and doing it by adb.
Link if anyone is interested: http://oysteivi.tihlde.org/adfree-symlink.zip
With this flashed, the "adfree android" app seems to work nicely when I tick "symlink from /data/data/hosts".
Didn't feel a need to remove the videos app, but it should be easy to add it in there. Just add something like this to the update-script in the zip:
delete SYSTEM:app/Videos.apk
(untested, and you'll have to replace "Videos" with the actual apk name. I'm too lazy to check what it is )
This is pretty much what I was looking for, thanks a lot!
Hi there,
Thanks a lot, due to this zipfile I finally got adfree working appropriately.

@rovo89 Can you create a button to utilize /system/addon.d/ 's scripts to backup and restore the modified app_process file that xposed installer creates so that when cyanogenmod nightlies and new roms flash they don't overwrite the xposed framework. I noticed that you already have a script made up but it might be better for less experienced users if it was made into a button that writes the file to the right place

Not planning to do so, read my explanations here: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/issues/143#issuecomment-42641987
Hi can someone help me do this. Getting an assert failed error when trying to an OTA and based on reading its due to xposed making some modifications in /system. I've already uninstalled xposed, but its left bits of itself in /system which the ota detects. Help

OK. Clearly people are interested in this topic as it's already got a number of views. Hopefully someone who knows a file based answer for /system will speak up

In "Xposed - General info, versions & changelog" thread is not specifically written about how to uninstall it, but it's written what to do, if you are in bootloop:
Quote:
...If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
End of Quote
I believe (I might be very wrong, of course), that with flashing Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip, you'll get your original file(s) back to system... :fingers-crossed:

Note : found issue with ota centered around GPS.conf
This is nothing to do with xposed as far as i can tell. Cheers all.

Thanks. Tried flasing this. But apparently app_process wasn't the issue.
Appreciate you having a look. Looked promising there for a moment. Looks like xposed makes some obscure change which is even more annoying to detect.

Well, sorry it didn't help...
You know - factory reset and you're as new...
I recently rooted my phone, and one of the first things I wanted to do was to get rid of the goddamned annoying sound that plays every time I dock my phone to charge.
From what I understand, all I had to do was rename or delete /system/media/audio/UI/ChargerPluggedIn.ogg
So I appended .bak to the filename just in case something went wrong, and it just so happens that something went wrong.
Now the phone no longer plays the original sound effect, of course, but instead of staying silent as I had expected, it starts playing the default Sony Ericsson ringtone nonstop!
To add insult to injury, there's no apparent way to shut it up except for a reboot.
I'm clueless as to why it's behaving this way. Please help, it's driving me nuts.
Phone: Z3 Compact (D5833) unlocked
Rooted and upgraded to stock Sony FW V23.4.A.1.232 following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
SuperSU Free V2.46
BusyBox Free V1.24.1-Stericson
Modifications: Xposed framework for LP V75 SDK22 ARM
Installed Xposed modules: Should be irrelevant, because I disabled all modules in attempt to isolate root cause, was still able to reproduce the issue will all modules disabled (yes I rebooted)
I used ES Explorer (granted SuperSU permissions) to perform all system file modifications.
Aside from renaming the original ogg file, I also tried creating a new blank file with the same name (ChargerPluggedIn.ogg) to act as a placeholder and maybe fool the system into thinking that the file exists, didn't work.
Does Sony CID have anything to do with my problem? I have not flashed RICDefeat.zip since I seem to have read somewhere that there's no longer any Sony CID issue with the latest firmware. I may be wrong?
I must admit I am frustrated that I have the ability to root and flash ROMs (albeit just following guides, but successful nonetheless), but am unable to disable a little sound effect. Argh...
Search for "Ultimate Sound Control" in PlayStore, worked for me
replace the file with the mute.ogg attached (unzip and rename it)

Thanks, this worked!
Still would like to know why simply deleting the file doesn't work for me, although I suspect I will never find out.
I had the same problem and i resolved in this way.
It seems that if it doesn't find the file or cannot reproduce it, the phone starts to play the default ringtone.
On others phones, it doesn't happen
Hello
I've got the Note 5 SM-N9208 and I am trying not to root (tripped Knox tho as I but Phillippines system.img on it) it as the annoying Barclays App doesn't work.
I am however, trying to add my custom CA certificate into the /system/etc/security/cacerts folder. This is what I used to do in my rooted devices before and worked fine.
I have flashed TWRP and taken a full backup (thank God!) and then mounted the system as RW, copied the file, rebooted and voila, boot loop on the Samsung Note 5 screen.
The only fix is to reflash the system partition from the original TAR file which makes me wonder - is there a mechanism that prevents system from being modified if the device is unrooted? Something like Samsung's system protection or something.
Could anyone try to reproduce the issue on an unrooted phone just to see if it's just me being unlucky? Or is is simply not possible to modify system without root? If so, how come TWRP allows me to do so?
Let me know what you think guys
Looking forward to hear someone else's opinion.

You must be rooted to make system changes.
You need to make some changes in ramdisk : remove support_scfs,verify from the fstab files for system partition
