XPosed, What works and what doesn't - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to start a thread to give and gather information with the community on what works and doesn't with XPosed framework and Wanam XPosed. Please add any other information on what works and doesn't if you have been able to verify.
So far I've verified a few things work on the T-Mobile Note 4.
XPosed Torch
YouTube AdAway
XPosed Torch
In Wanam XPosed I have verified the following working for me.
Hide SFinder bar
Hid Battery icon
Change/Hide Carrier Label
Enable 4 way reboot menu
Screenshot / Power menu
Fake System Status
Themes (make sure you turn each on that you use)
Disable Secure Storage
Raise SMS and MMS limit
Wanam XPosed Setting that are not Working (that I've tried).
Lockscreen Flashlight
Home button long press
Disable SEAndroid

I have actually removed XTether and gone with Wifi Tether Router, as it seems to be working smoother.
Here a Link for Wifi Tether Router:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

A lot of the theme color changes work, though i can't seem to get the handle to change color when selected (the bar when you pull the notifications open).

The following ones not previously mentioned works for me:
AudioPrivacy
DisableBatteryFullAlert
Network Speed
NotifyClean
Wanam Lockscreen ==> "Turn on screen when unplugged" does not seem to work properly.
"Hide WiFi notification" is not working

I've been playing with the Theme colors this morning and found the little 'ON' button hiding at the top right. I am working out which panel/icon/text is what exactly as it's a little overwhelming trying to do it all at once. I recommend only changing one or two at a time and then rebooting to see how the changes work for you.

Hi. Thanks for this thread. I was wondering if you could modify your OP to include what modules are not working as well and encourage others to verify. This might be useful for checking.

Am using CM11 on a LG Optimus e970. Tried to use hangout and lost mobile network tube killed connection and erased apn settings.

I've been gathering some information on what is and isn't working. I will update the post once I get a few more things confirmed.

Functional Hotspot Toggle???Using Tasker???

Has anyone found a hotspot toggle that works reliably? Neither Power Toggles nor Widgetsoid are able to turn it on, seemingly because the phone needs to verify the service. They can turn it off ok. It is one of the little annoyances that seem to really bother me. Once in a while I saw it turn on successfully but usually I have to go into settings.
I like Power Toggles design and features but I'd jump ship for this toggle. I'd prefer a widget that allowed multiple toggles on a bar style set up, but a stand alone widget could work

Thanks for the recommendation.
Tried it, but it doesn't work as I hoped. It is primarily a shortcut to the settings menu. I am seeking a one touch hotspot widget, like Power Toggles and Widgetsoid were on my last Android phones. With previous phones I could have a switch that turned hotspot on and off without entering settings; I rarely used the setting menu, as I should be able to access the most frequent things like brightness, hotspot, and sound without going into the menus.
Since NO play store toggles seem to work I turned to Tasker. I've been using Tasker on and off since it came out. Usually for simple tasks like this toggle. However I cannot get Tasker to do it either. The toggle seems to work to switch the setting but the authorization delay before the phone turns it on seems to mess it up.
Any ideas?
+1 would luv a solution.

If you're rooted, you can get the stock touchwiz hotspot toggle back (that should be in with the quick toggles on the notification pane) with a little digging.
This is the thread I went to to get the mobile data toggle back, but the same works for the hotspot toggle:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721550
Basically you need to get sqlite and use it to modify values in your settings.db file. Follow his instructions, but instead of adding MobileData; add WiFiHotspot; (case sensitive and don't forget the semicolon)

That's buggy as well. It works great for data and the other toggles work great as well, just not the hotspot. That's probably why AT&T disabled the toggle from original firmware. The toggle was actually there when I only flashed the AP file from the firmware, but disappeared after the other files were flashed.

Xposed for Lollipop is finally here!

Yeah, that's what I get. What I mean by 'tabletmode' is that on the left frame you get to choose the menu and on the right frame the sub menu. On other Android-versions this happens automatically when you set the DPI to 160 and screen DPI to 800x1280 or up (values may vary).

That's build-in into many roms (in CM at least):
Enable developer options if you haven't already (by tapping the phone's build-number 10 times in About Phone in Settings)
Go to Developer Options, scroll all the way down
Enable 'Killl app back button'

Yes, it seems to work too. You open the phone app, click on 'More' then Settings and the option is at the bottom. Be sure to reboot after you make any changes in the CSC to activate them. No word yet on Xposed, but it's almost not needed. Almost....
PS- That gestures app is pretty sweet.

Yeah its awesome i deleted lazy swipe because with this app you can pop up launchbars for your favorite apps from anywhere with a gesture
I enabled wifi calling and rebooted, but I don't see any indication that it is enabled. Even tried making a call, and it seemed like it was over cell not wifi.
Did you enable it in the phone app settings? It's check box at the bottom .
Yea, that's where I enabled it... But didn't get anything that showed it was making calls over wifi.
Did yours give you some sort of icon? And can u take a screen shot of it?
I'd love to hide the auto brightness bar and show more notifications on the lock screen.

Not that I'm aware of. ALso, haven't been able to figure out whether the wifi calling actually is going over wifi or not.
Bypass Tether Check
I see that Verizon Mods have enabled tethering through the framework, anyone see these options anywhere. Would love to use tethering on my Unlimited.
I would like to know that too but I have wifi router installed and it works. I also would like to know how to get the download Booster to work I tried doing that shortcut deal through Nova and it keeps on going away
Boot Animation
I didn't create this/ don't own it. I apologize if I am stepping on the creator's toes. I have had it for a while but it works with our s6 and removes the white att boot screen, but keeps the samsung part.
MUST FLASH WITH FLASHFIRE.
Silent power on, charging and wireless charging sounds.
Unrar on PC or on andrioid. Replace files (I use Root Explorer) in system/media/audio/ui, and change permissions. Reboot.
Used a rar file so one doesn't think it flashable!
Change permissions to rw - r - r (just copy the permission setting of any of the other, unchanged sounds in that system/media/audio/ui folder).
This is similar to the mod in the op except it replaces the boot sound with a short, 2 second silent sound. I had problems of other sounds playing instead if I just changed to .bak, hence I made these sound files.

Manually Power Toggles NFC toggle and Magisk

Samsung Galaxy S6: Wanted to update from Marshmellow (rooted with SU) to Nougat.
Unrooted, updated to Nougat and rooted with SU 2.78 and used Titanium Backup to re-install some stuff and mainly data back into Nougat.
Everything worked good but while reading a bit more i found that there was a newer version of SU then the one i had used (2.82 instead of 2.78).
So i uninstalled SU 2.78 and installed 2.82 instead.
Then i noticed that some stuff didn't work anymore, one thing was toggling NFC on or off through Tasker, it always came with an error that there was no root for System+ in Secure Settings.
But whatever i tried, i could not get System+ detecting root in Secure Settings, also not when trying a few fixes i found on the internet (ex: https://dammit.nl/20160406-how-to-f...oid-devices-with-supersu-systemless-root.html).
Went back to SU 2.78 but that didn't work our anymore either.
While gathering information (i don't follow the progress on rooting etc... because lack of time) i stumbled on Magisk for doing the root.
Unrooted SU and re-rooted with Magisk 14.2
Then System+ in Secure Setting could be enabled again and i could toggle NFC through Tasker again without issues.
But, tapping on the Power Toggles NFC symbol still brings me to the Nougat settings page to set NFC from there (and then the Power Toggle NFC status isn't updated) instead of toggling NFC direct like it used to do before with SU 2.78 (on Marshmellow and the first install of Nougat with SU 2.78).
Looking for a solution for this i found this on the Power Toggles website (http://powertoggles.com/help/?e=17).
It says that you always are directed to the phone's settings to set either GPS or NFC and only works directly if you have root.
Well, it works fine for GPS but for NFC. Power Toggles see's root for the GPS function but not for the NFC one... weird.
Removing Magisk and re-installing it doesn't help, nor does going back to whatever version of SuperUser so i'm still looking for a solution to toggle NFC directly from Power Toggles.
My Tasker Root Support module have been reported to make Secure Settings recognise root. You could give that a try...
Thx, i'll give it try but this then means i have to go back to SuperUser for root instead of Magisk?
The actual problem is that Secure Setting does detect root now when rooted with Magisk but that Power Toggles only partly thinks is not (works fine GPS toggle, not for NFC).
I guess the problem lies more on the Power Toggles part (but then that's a wild guess) which only seems to see half of a root so to say... LOL.
Toggling NFC with Power Toggles works fine for me. With Magisk.
And no... You'll have to stay on MagiskSU to use Magisk modules. SuperSU isn't compatible with Magisk.
Installed the module in Magisk (double checked if it's activated), unfortunaly no joy...
Confession: Far far away in my brain there is a small spark that says that's is't some sort of setting somewhere and that i had the same problem once in the past (long ago) but since my brain is getting rather old and that spark would refuce to become firework...yet.
I did make a small Tasker task to update the Power Toggles bar on changing NFC status. So i can already check on the PT bar in what status NFC is in even if i changed it through regular settings.
Found also this:
Note: starting with android 4.2, system access is no longer required for any functionality. Root should be enough.
If your device is rooted you could install the Power Toggles app as a system app. You can use apps like Titanium backup or /sys/app mover or any similar app for this purpose.
Installing the app as system app, enables protected functionalities like one-click GPS/NFC toggle or Airplane mode toggle.
Wondering if it could help i tried to installing Power Toggles as system app. However, this didn't work. First i used /sys/app mover but this came also up with error: could no remount/system.
Then i tried Titanium Backup but this kept on going in a loop. After stopping TB after +/- half an hour and a reboot the Power Toggles shortcut was gone but that was it. Retried a second a time and this time TB worked itself through the process quickly but Power Toggles wasn't moved and was not a system app. To be continued...
Noticed a second little glitch with Nougat for the Power Toggles, just a NFC now opens de setting instead of toggling, the same happens with the brightness slider toggle (didn't tried that before).
On Marshmellow this opened only the brightness slider, on Nougat is does the same as with the NFC, it opens the settings and goes to the brightness slider there.
After fiddling around with a bit i thought of reversing the firmware back to Marshmellow to try but this came with an error and de Galaxy S6 locked up. Tried a second time, same issue although the firmware should be valid and the checksum is OK (got it from SamMobile).
Re-installed Nougat (a 1st update now), but the Power Toggles still open settings for NFC and Brightness Slider.
Workaround for the Brightness Slider is using a widget to open a 3th party brightness slider. This works noce but the Power Toggles bar is not as nice (even icons) as before.
Are you sure that Power Toggles have been granted root access? Check the superuser section of the Manager...
Yes it has, just double checked on the SU settings in Magisk.
If it doesn't, tapping the GPS/Location or Mobile Data symbol on the Power Toggles bar also opens up the settings pages like with NFC and the brigthness slider.
And whan it has been granted root access, it doens't do that for GPS/Location or the Mobile Data toggle but still for the NFC and brightness slider. That's the big issue. Whay does it work only partially? It would be easier to solve it was the same for every toggle for which it needs root access.
Like I said previously, there are no such issues on my side with Power Toggles...
Toggling NFC and bringing up the brightness slider works without a hitch.
There must be something about your setup.

That's what i'm still thinking too but can't pinpoint it (for now).
I'll keep on diggin'...
Managed to make the Power Toggles app a system (with Titanium Backup) but... no joy.
Unrooting makes every toggle that has no direct action go through the settings page as it is intended to do, rooting again still leaves the NFC and brightness slider in an unrooted action state.

[SOLVED] Why does my phone not unlock on 47.1.A.16.20 with Xposed?

[FOR REFERENCE ONLY]
Problem solved!
The confounding variable was NOT Xposed Framework, but conena's Gesture Control app that was set up to use Immersive Mode to hide the navigation bar. And according to this post that I landed on purely by chance, if you don't exempt the Lockscreen Settings app, it causes all these problems.
Note that this problem has nothing to do with the app, it's the Immersive Mode setting to blame, on which any setting change at all will cause these same problems (to be fair, conena's app does preemptively discourage this)
Solution
Use a Substratum overlay to hide the navbar instead; do NOT use GravityBox to do that by setting navbar height to 0, or qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop (which doesn't work, BTW). Next, backup your gesture bar data and wipe the data of the app, then restore the bar data – just don't fiddle with that Immersive Mode setting again!
Well, some explanation is in order because it wouldn't make for a great thread title:
I am running the last stock Oreo build on this G8441, which is 47.1.A.12.20, for the primary reason of being able to use rovo89's Xposed Framework because the original XPrivacy module that's vitally important to me does not run on any of the EdXposeds or LSPoseds.
Using systemless Xposed with the latest Magisk version (and older ones too, nothing changes) I find that if I were to set a lockscreen to anything other than "None" and reboot, I will have times where I simply can't see the display when pressing the power button -- but weirdly enough the touchscreen still keeps taking touch input! The only way around is to remove the lockscreen, reboot, then set your locking method and try not to have it restart for any reason.
It's quite obvious that systemless Xposed is causing this problem (Xposed can't be installed normally on this firmware version) because this problem can be reproduced even without any modules active. But I'm at a complete loss as to what's actually causing this lockscreen interference, because I've tried taking system logs with and without Xposed and there's simply nothing at all different except it taking insanely long times for the display to activate upon unlock (but the touch input working just fine for some reason?) and there's a small, dim red LED near the proximity sensor that stays stuck as long as the display is.
Please help me, I'm absolutely out of ideas -- and no, I can't upgrade to Pie, I have to stay on Oreo for the sake of the XPrivacy module.
So it seems like 47.1.A.12.75 is the last problem-free Oreo version for normal Xposed Framework, and I wouldn't mind using that, if it weren't for the fact that there doesn't seem to be any VoLTE-activating SIN file for India for it below 47.1.A.12.270. There's a 2G phaseout in progress with the largest carrier and it's only a matter of time before there'll be no fallback network and I'll have to have VoLTE at any cost.
