Installing Xposed seems to have screwed up some things - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently upgraded to Lollipop and (re)rooted it. I used TWRP to install Xposed, but now it seems I have some issues:
- The phone takes a while to boot, "upgrading" 150+ apps every time I turn on the phone.
- I get a low storage space warning even though I've only used about 1.5GB of my space.
- I can't download anything from the Play Store; I guess because Android thinks I don't have enough space (although I don't get the low space error when attempting to download an app).
Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

[Q] Phone won't boot unless I clear Dalvik

Hello All, I did some searching for this, but all I can come up with is quite the opposite of my issue. My issue is my phone got stuck in boot loop. Having been on this forum a few times the first thing I did was clear the cache and dalvik and it booted right up. But unfortunately anytime I reboot, it gets stuck on the bootanimation and no matter how many times I reboot, it absolutely will not work unless I clear the dalvik, every time.
Any thoughts on what may be going on, I would really love suggestions that I might can try to see if it's a permanent fix.
Regardless, thanks for your time and effort :fingers-crossed:

Kinda hard to help with so little information.
Do you by any chance have xposed framework installed?
If so I know that if you restore app + data from titanium backup for xposed modules it can cause your phone to stick on the boot animation. Clearing dalvik cache would temporarily fix it.
If that's your case then you can go into setting / apps and clear data on all the modules.
If that's not your issue then you may ave flashed something incompatible with your framework. Without much information I can only suggest that you re-flash your rom or firmware.

Do you use gravity box?
If yes,then disable it in xposed modules and reboot
Gravity box has been causing these kind of bootloops for most of us
I had this issue sometimes when i was using advanced power menu with my previous stock rom. When rebooting from advanced power menu i always had bootloop, but when restarting from the xposed menu for example, no bootloop.
Thank you all very much, and I use all three of those, xposed, gravity box, and advanced power menu. I will try all three of those suggestions today and report back which one may have did it.
Most likely gravitybox. There's been a lot of talk about it. Some don't have it at all, some got rid of it in the newer version and some like me has it with all 'newer than 2.8.5' versions. I usually can get it by trying to boot some times but it happens randomly.
Incredibly annoying and there's some things in newer gravitybox versions that I'd really like

It quit doing that after I cleared app data and cache for gravity box. Gravity Box is definitely a factor :silly: If it comes back again I will go through more appropriate channels now that I know the culprit.
Thanks every one !!!

[Q] Phone apps/games keeps pausing

Hey guys, Idk why but recently my phone is going crazy
I first noticed this a few months ago, I was playing Injustice and it kept pausing. At that time my internal memory was 75% full, so I thought that might be the problem so later I uninstalled the app
But recently all my other games and video streaming apps(Twitch ,YouTube etc) keeps pausing, my Album app is bugged (though the Movies app works fine), camera force closes. Even my keyboard acts buggy sometimes. I tried formatting my phone memory, still no effect.
I think it could be a virus but I tried Clean Master (I guess this isn't a good choice) and it shows nothing is wrong
So do you think it's a virus? If it is, what should I do and if not, any particular solutions?
Thanks in advance guys and I hope I posted this thread in the proper section

If you're rooted, try clearing the cache and dalvik cache. Or maybe reinstall the ROM, that's what I usually do when my phone starts acting up. It's annoying, but worth it. What ROM are you on BTW?

Well Actually I'm using the stock 4.3 ROM and I haven't even rooted my phone
I tried rooting it, but couldn't unlock the bootloader
You don't need to unlock the bootloader to root Try TowelRoot. My advice is to do a fresh install with Flashtool, with a non-carrier specific ROM (no bloatware). When I was on eXistenZ Ultra, my phone slowed down after a few days. I think this happened on the stock ROM too, it might be a bug.

I tried TowelRoot, it shows that my phone is rooted but when I use other apps to check my root status like Root Checker or Titanium Backup it shows "The phone isn't rooted"
Damn, I suck at this
Did you flash a superuser app after rooting?
You can check root with the app 'root check' (appstore)
Sent from my C5303 using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe TowelRoot doesn't work properly on .207 (if you're on that firmware). Have you followed the instructions in this thread? You might have missed something - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783885

Hi
I got this app working once and once only for about 10 minutes, played around with it and exited the app. I now can't get it to work again no matter what I do.
I can confirm I am having this issue too on Jelly Bean 4.3, Samsung Galaxy S3 (I9300)! New phone, not rooted and no crap installed on it, It's driving me insane as I'm not a technophobe. I've tried clearing the cache, clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling more than once, battery pulls, disabling Google+, wiping cache partition in recovery mode, moving app to SD card... ARGHH!

[Q] Issue with Root Duration

Hey guys, I didn't see anyone ask this question explicitly but if it has been stickied somewhere and I just overlooked it I apologize.
Basically I've flashed several different root images using Mofo root and they work for the most part minus one small aspect. After some duration of time (I'm not sure exactly how long but maybe from an hour to a few hours), root apps will basically stop functioning. If I go into supersu, I just get a loading circle that never gets anywhere. I've tried force closing it and disabling/reenabling superuser but that hasn't worked. Some apps continue to function (Gravitybox custom tiles, WiFi Tether, Seeder) but others do not start up properly (TiBackup for example gets stuck at the loading screen where it says asking for root privileges and tasker secure setting profiles return an error). Only a hard reboot will properly restore root but then the same issue occurs where after a while I have to continue to hard reboot once root stops functioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I don't have a solution but I just wanted to bump this thread because I'm having the same issues as you. Wakelock detector also gets stuck on loading screen and supersu fails to open.

I also had the same issue. I am using the image with busy box and Xposed framework installed. After a an hour or so super user said that the binary was not installed, and most of my root apps stopped working. Root checker said my Turbo was not rooted, though gravity box and a few other Xposed modules continued to work. I rebooted the phone, but had the same problem. I turned notifications for the supersu app back on, and after about a minute it said the binary had to be updated, and I had root again. I'm not sure what is going on, but I will come back if I find anything
I'm not having any issues. I would reboot the phone into recovery and wipe the cache there. Hope that helps.
Glad I saw this thread...I'm having the exact same issue!
A hard reboot will solve the problem every time...but its quite annoying...
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if that helps
Clearing the cache seems to have solved this for me. I haven't lost root in a few days.
Seems to have resolved itself
I just wanted to mention that between clearing the cache and flashing a different rooted image this issue appears to have resolved itself.
I will update after some time to see if this fix maintains or if anything else pops up. Thanks for the suggestions!

What cache did you clear? I tried to clear the cache from the recovery, but my phone freezes and I have to reboot. Then I loose root a while later.

Question Strange problem with google maps

Hi, I have a strange problem with google maps. After updating to the latest version, the application closes all the time (without giving any error). Clear app data helps but only until the next restart. When I uninstall all map updates it works normally.
Here is a video how it looks like: https://streamable.com/idq37q

Yep I made that, this is only way to fix issue. I wonder why its happening? Am I only one who have that kind of thing? Wipe cache partition doesnt fix this.

Updating gmail and gmaps from Samsung factory versions always yields a worse version
Gookill sucks.
My problem seems to be memory related. When the application is open or I quit it (but I won't close it completely), it starts up normally. When I force it to stop, it won't start anymore (I need to clear cache and app data to work again). Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
