I believe this is a known issue, but I haven't seen any updates about this in a while and I'd like to know if anyone has some ideas why it's happening or a workaround (other than uninstall Xposed, which works by the way).

I LOVE your username...
Maybe optimum coded around rovo's workaround...
Ask in the module thread... Otherwise... Who knows...
There's an app called Irdeto fix. It said it wasn't available on my G3 but I sideloaded it after googling it and it works flawlessly. I just downloaded it and I have fully functional optimum. Just allow it on Xposed.

Didn't work for me. It even says on the project description that the latest Optimum app doesn't work with it.
But thanks! At least I have something to go by.

Thank you so much!!!!! This worked for me on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S5!!! This is exactly what I have been looking for! And now my Optimum app is working just fine. :good::good::laugh:
I just noticed you can't watch live TV on it though. At least I can control the DVR, which is really what I wanted it for anyway.

Yeah... i was so excited to get the app working and schedule my DVR recordings, that I didn't check to see if live TV works, and it doesn't. I'm really hoping there will be a fix for this soon.
I was hoping RootCloak might work to hide Xposed from the Optimum App, but last time I tried, it didn't work. Try giving that a go.

Yeah, I was hoping Root Cloak would work as well, that was my first issue. I actually stumbled upon a thread that said it wasn't a root issue, just an Xposed issue, which I didn't realize for the past like 2 years! That's how I found the Xposed fix for it. I even e-mailed the developer of Root Cloak to please include Optimum but I think it's two different things that are triggering the Optimum error.
I forgot how irritating the stock android is. I was going to try to lollipop for a couple days, but after only a just a few hours I coudl't take it anymore. Glad I made a nandroid before I installed that update. Those headsup notifications, that annoying immerisve mode panic, the loss of my navbar buttons, the new volume controls (randomly changing the various volumes under some inexplicable priority strategy) and various other things. I mean, it was bad. I hated it. I bet this is the best Android ever if you use your phone as a phone and not as a computer that happens to make phone calls — but that's not me. I'm just not the average aggregated user Google is targgeting.
I haven't seen a lot of people posting that they can't move to lollipop because: no Xposed and Gravity Box; but I wanted to put this out there in case someone like me was feeling down for wanting to revert to KitKat. Just do it. Personally I'm wating for 5.1 or for ART Xposed or ... something. I'm sad I'll miss out on the new camera, but the rest of it just isn't worth the headaches.

There are only ever 2 types of updates: the before closed beta testing and the after open 'beta' testing.
Just wait for custom ROMs, Xposed for Lollipop will not come soon, and I'm not sure if it will come at all.

You lasted longer than I did! TWRP nandroid rescued me. Lack of [X]privacy is a show-stopper for me but I've forgotten how ugly non-customised (GravityBox, et. al.) stock is.
What device do u have?
I'm on a leak gpe version on my HTC m8, and it's pretty stable. Yes it sucks there no xposed but most of what I use xposed for is convenience features like custom nav ring that I can live without.
Biggest upside is battery life and performance kick the pants off KitKat.. Also love the new material design not to mention the hundreds of cool new things in SDK 21 like the dynamic floating menu buttons.

Yeah, I feel you man..
Can't say I find stock android irritating per se (or used to, anyway), but Material Design? Dont' get me started!
Been on lollipop on my Nexus 5 for, well, a couple of days now. Feels like a lifetime. I like "stock", and I'm unfortunately one of those all-for-the-latest-version-hype type personalities. And I thought I would be able to manage without xposed (I used it mainly for cosmetics anyway and Lollipop seemed to be a huge leap forward from kitkat in that respect).
Buuuut...material design is...well, effing ugly. I can live without customising my lock screen (since I didn't use a lock anyway), so now I just skip it alltogether. I did like having my own set of unlockable shortcuts (so to speak), but, hey, b-bye.
LWinrecents: got that in lollipop - along with material design stacks of recent apps. Did I mention I think material design is effing ugly? Because it's also a bloody mess. IMHO, of course. VPN Dialogue? Since VPN doesn't seem to be working in L, no need for a module, right? And Xprivacy? Well, for the time being; hello world, have ALL my personal information.... At least greenify seems to run without xposed... Just to mention a few examples.
But...but. BUT, the new statusbar / notifications? Oh. My. God. I don't need Xposed and gravity box, I need goddamn kitkat and gravity box! Jeez.. Give me jellybean and I'll shut up!
As for the current GEL version, I must admit, I didn't even give that a fair chance, I set Nova Launcer as my default launcher from first boot..
I am torn right now, I'm itching to go back to 4.4.4 with xposed and gravity box and all the other "pointless" little cosmetic tweaks. But, I figure I can't be stuck on an old OS forever, and I'm already upgraded so I might as well just get used to what is and will be.
So basically, for me to keep using 5.0 comes down primarily to the convenience of not downgrading (i.e. going through another factory reset with the restoring backups and the whey and the wizz and the hey-hey-hey). With a kicker of "might as well get used to it."
So I have to concur that if anyone is on the fence, and you can't find a reason why you absolutely, positively HAVE to upgrade to lollipop, stick with kit kat and xposed. (insert appropiate number of exclamationmarskoneoneoneexclamationmarks) You're not missing out from as far as I can tell. Also, all the Google apps will come your way with material design anyway, so you WILL get your fix of fugly whether you want it or not.
If I'm not making any sense, then nevermind me. I'm just on a rant. And I miss gravity box. And I think Material Design does not present a very pleasant user experience. Also, I'm on a rant, did I mention that? Check back with me in a couple of weeks, and it's not entirely implausible that I actually have gone through the hassle of a downgrade/factory reset to get back to kit kat.
At least I'm rooted. Thank heaven for small favours, and thank Chainfire for big ones.

Then I hate to say you may be stuck on KK as xposed is having huge issues with the new security setup in 5.0. I would get used to living with out xposed. This way if there ever is a work around then cool but if not then you wont be stuck in limbo.
Well if I'm stuck I'll deal with it.
Xprivacy definitively better that L.
Just curious I've tried googling it but when are we getting exposed modules? Do we have them already and I'm just naming it different or what's going on ? Thanks for any answers

Xposed doesn't work with Lollipop for various reasons. Rovo89 is working on it, but there is no ETA on it. My guess is that it won't be anytime soon that we see it.
There is apparently a different one in the works, that is similar at least in spirit to Xposed, but it isn't released yet (source).

Has anyone been able to get Xposed working on their Verizon Nexus 6 running Android 5.1? I've been trying all day and have searched and searched and followed all the workaround threads and nothing has worked. I cannot get Xposed working. I've tried the SELinux mode changer app, tried the initd script, tried flashing the zip that sets linux to permissive. Nothing is working.
So has anyone been able to get it to work on their Verizon NExus 6? If you did please share what method worked for you..

Xposed got big because it brought customization to many phones that had root but locked bootloaders. It's a little less useful when you're on a custom ROM but there's a lot of app hacks. I like it to do simple things like save all my Snapchats without notifying people or unlimited skips in Pandora.
Not to mention some of the top devs prefer to work on Xposed rather than ROMs since it isn't device specific. So a stock 5.0.2 ROM with the Gravity Box module has more customization features than most of our current ROMs do. Here's the full module repository:

Xposed does a heck of a lot more than just block ads. The uses for it are almost endless. It allows almost limitless customization. Everything from UI modifications to, unlimited Pandora skips. It literally gives you all the options of a really really feature filled custom rom while still running the stock rom. Take some time and look through all the xposed modules for it and all the things they can do. That should give you an idea of how much you can do with it.

For me its the little things. Like crappalinks. Don't ya hate how tapatalk does a link hijack? Fixed. Want to use Google voice to text with Swype. Fixed. Hate the stupid "hey dummy, you are using a vpn, that you know, you like installed and set up and launched?" Fixed. Removes a lot of little annoyances that the custom ROM devs are too busy making the **** work to begin with to address.
Also, Gravity Box, lol. The last six months or so of my use of my old S4 was on a Google Edition ROM port. It was by far the best performing ROM, but it also lacked features, kind of like the stock based ROMs here. Gravity Box brought almost all of the features of custom ROMs to the GE ROM.

Xposed is a framework that allows you to "inject" new functions, settings, code into any ROM or app. For example, you may want a custom rom so you can customise your notification quick settings. With xposed, you can install a custom module that will allow that without changing the rom. If no rom has all the features you want, find the feature you want as an xposed module and add it.. Thats what the fuss is about. Its very flexible.,
Here is one of my favourite modules on this device...
What's everyone using to block ads until xposed is available again. Tired of ads popping up in apps and YouTube.

Actually I found out about adfree and tried it. Still get ads in apps. Of course YouTube still has ads too which I don't expect will be fixed until we get xposed back.
Xposed is awesome and I cannot wait to get it on 5.1. So someone asked what does it do/why use it? There are many reasons.
You want to keep the original OS after root but still want all of the features of cyanogenmod or whatever. Xposed has a lot of them and more. For instance you could set your verizon phone to tether with a click of a button, add a date in the top toolbar, change colors of things, add battery %, get rid of ads, etc. Just tons of awesome things. With my gNex I always just flashed new roms when I wanted new stuff. But with my moto X I wanted to keep the OS and still get those advantages so I used xposed and really liked it. Now with the n6 I again really like the OS so I do not want to flash a new rom so xposed it is (once its working).
I think xposed is the way of the future. No more flashing roms and stuff when you can keep your OS and just add features you want.
I really just use it to get most of the customization I used to get from custom roms without the hassle of having to flash custom roms all the time.
It will come to 5.1 just need a little patience, it didn't take that long to get it on 5.0 and that was a much bigger update.

Yes the Android modding scene has changed drastically in the last few years. I remember when I first got into modding Android on my Verizon S3. That was also when xposed first came out. 3 flagship phone generations ago. I remember waiting for the Verizon Jelly bean update. 4.1.2 Hahaha. Gold old days. (only 3 years ago. Lol). We had actual leaked insecure bootloader on the s3. The last Samsung device on Verizon to gave a legit unlocked bootloader. Not the work around line Loki or stupid safestrap on the s5. That's why I quit the Samsung line last year and got an M8. Now I have a Nexus. Quitting Samsung was a good choice though by the looks of it, the S6 in all its variants sucks. If I wanted an iPhone I would get an iPhone.

Use Samsung Kies
good question on the counter, I have restarted my phone and have not seen it, Buuut I did freeze knox though. As far as updating Use Kies took about 10 mins
USB audio?
I got the Lollipop update this morning through T-mobile. It was smooth to update, and I haven't noticed battery issues or anything others had reporter.
However, I was super-excited for Lollipop, because it allows for USB microphones. And I've tried all 5 of the ones I own without success. I tried Samsung support, which was useless. They weren't even aware of the feature.
Do you think it's possible that Samsung or T-mobile bypassed this native feature to Lollipop? I was connecting via OTG cable. I haven't tried mic to powered hub to OTG yet, because I've seen Nexus owners on Lollypop just connect USB microphones via OTG.
I'd be grateful for any advice any of you gurus have out there. I am not rooted or running anything custom. I've been fairly happy with stock. But, like I started with, I was all the while looking forward to this Lollypop update for portable recording via USB. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
Downloading as I type...I'm sure I am wasting my time since I been rocking BeanStalk 5.0.2, but my curiosity is making me just give it a look and see how it works. It'll be nice to use the S-Pen features again, but Lollipop without all the bs that samsung and tmo put on there has been nothing short of amazing.
Why have the note 4 when you can have PURE android just like you want with the new 6 inch moto. But whatever guess I will never understand why people will buy a car. Strip it off its goods (rims/system/under the hood upgrades) just to have a classic stripped stock vehicle? I mean already having the features why give then away? I will never understand

Assuming that you're talking about the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro, there's no need to debate/discuss why I would want TouchWiz on ANY level, which is why I was close to buying a Nexus 6. Honestly though, for me, while the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro isn't a bad phone(they're both really great phones), they lost me with no way to add extra storage or remove your battery if needed. In addition, while I have been running Beanstalk for the last few weeks, I still think the S-Pen is a really great feature to have on the Note 4. There's really no need to go into details about which phone is better, because it will always come down to preference, but in regards to your comment, it's not as stripped down as you present it to be.

No attitude here, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am certainly not hating on you for what you're saying and personally, in many(maybe most) aspects, those are flat out better phones than the Note 4. I just installed this bs lollipop so now as I type, I am flashing back to BeanStalk. The lack of a removable battery i could live with, but the expandable storage is a necessity for me, the only reason I am staying with the Note 4 since most phones that are coming out are converting to that style.

You do not need to install gapps on stock ROMs. They are included. Installing them as a zip will break them. So, factory reset (or fresh install), and don't flash gapps.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I actually didn't install gapps over the stock ROM. Not sure what it didn't like installing over Beanstalk. I did a wipe before I installed via kies. Anyway, I resolved by doing a factory reset, like you said. Did two actually. All is well now, thanks.
