[Q] How to install on CM11?

Hello happy new year, i see Cyanogenmod 11 comes with a superuser tab so i assume it's rooted, but root checker says my device isn't rooted.
I tried installing it anyways and rebooted the phone, no errors. But after i rebooted i saw a forum post saying i could get my phone bricked if i run xposed on an unrooted phone.
So i unistalled it before running the app again.
What should i do? Can i just install xposed with CM 11 as it comes or i need to do something else first?.
I've used eRoot with GB, ICS, JB with no issues but it doesn't work with Kitkat, so i'm not sure if i should just install it or what.
I really want some modules but i don't wanna break the phone :c

Installing Xposed on non rooted phone can't brick your device simply because root operations can't be done.
Xposed needs root access for installation process.

Go into developer options and make sure root access is set to apps, or apps and adb.
Common sense isn't all that common

Download set up first and then run the file after complete it.

Unlocked/Rooted Problems

Hi all!
Iv got a Galaxy S III I9305 here, and it has just been unlocked from EE, so it can be used with a Three sim instead.
But this seems to have caused some problems...
I have no idea how this person has unlocked it, but now when I try to open a Banking App, its telling me it cant be used as the device is rooted...
why would the person that unlocked it have rooted it too? just seems weird!
My question is, if I was to follow This guide to unroot it, would I also loose the unlock to use any sim, as I will probably have to flash a stock EE rom back on to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
cheers
Keith

You just need to flash a Stock Sammsung rom.Wich firmware have you now?When for example you.'re on 4.1.1 you need to find and flash true Odin Stock 4.1.2 firmware.This will remove the root.

Im not actually sure what version has been put on it to be honest, because it just looks like a stock rom to me, which is weird haha
It says its version 4.3.
So if I use Odin to flash this file... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38008/I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.zip/
It should let me use banking apps, and also stay unlocked for any sim?
Cheers for your help!

Another option, would be to keep it rooted, install Xposed framework (which is great by the way) and then install Rootcloak.
Rootcloak lets you fool apps into thinking that the phone is not rooted.
I use it for some tv-streaming apps, which works quite well.

Tried giving this a go, but I cant get Xposed framework to install...
I just get a 'There was a problem while parsing the package" error :s
Its running Android 4.3 so it should be compatible.

[Q] Chances of bricking Xperia V by Xposed

So i recently installed the Xposed Installer to my rooted Xperia V, running stock JB 4.3 and FW:9.2.A.2.5
Then i naturally wanted to install some moduls, but then i saw the prompt saying that in some cases, installation of that could cause a bricked or bootlooped phone. So have any of you guys using the same firmware as I and using Xposed Framework experienced any problems? Or is it 100% safe to install the framework on it without needing to buy a new phone.
Don't want to take the risk before i hear from you, because I don't really have money enough to buy a new phone r8 now, so won't brick my V.

You should be fine if you on 4.3. It says that so they can't be held responsible. Just make you sure you install compatible modules for your device. You should be fine

So nice then! Is it any method to check if a module is compatibile with my device? (can't find such information on the module's site in the Xposed explorer tho)
Still wanna hear from someone who actually uses Xperia V, want to be 100% sure on that Can't lose this phone, really.

Some settings in certain modules might cause a bootloop, but you can easily revive the phone by pressing the power button multiple times during boot. This will disable Xposed.
Also, a locked bootloader phone can hardly be bricked. You can always flash a stock ftf with Flashtool and the phone will work again.

Thanks for the answer ;D
So if i understand you the right way, if i don't have unlocked bootloader it is a very tiny chance of bricking my phone, and if my phone bootloops it could be stopped by pressing the power button a few times. But do i need a software for that like CWM/recovery installed to stop Xposed during bootloop, or is it just an function Xposed has itself?

Xposed does provide a flashable zip for disabling, but the emergency disable function is already included without requiring a custom recovery.

OMG man thank you sooo much for helping me Going to try it out, let us just hope i don't ruin my phone :victory:
Just have one last question for you. Is it the framework or the modules themselves causing brick/bootloop? Or easier said, could i install the framework without any negative effect, only the modules that could destroy the phone?

"Destroy" is a slightly too drastic expression.
But yes, it's some incompatible modules that cause those issues. However, most of the time, you will rather face repeated force closes than a bootloop, when using the wrong stuff
And Xposed itself can be installed without risk, won't do any harm.

[Q] Xposed requirements?

Hi everybody, im sorry if this is wront section for it, but i have a question!
I just got a android phone (Xperia z3 compact) and did the whole good old rooting proccess, im running the latest version of KitKat with Root + SuperSU and bootloader is still locked, with my DRM keys in tact.
I really want to install the Xposed app but i got some questions:
1. Do i have to install anything else before installing Xposed? (I heard you NEED to install BusyBox, from Play Store). If yes, what is it?
2. To install Xposed, do i have to just download its APK and run or do i have to do all that "flashing" thing on recovery?
Thank you very much.

Please help here too, I hv D6553 jp docomo version Z3, just bought it,
Needs : Xposed, preserving all DRM functions,
I checked the "available for unlock BL" is No, don't know what it's means but the shop said they hv done nothing except unlocking SIM, also it seems NFC only works using stock docomo ROM,
Thanks

1. No, BusyBox is not required for Xposed framework. Install the Xposed Installer from Play Store and follow the procedure.
2. It depends on your Android version. If you are on Lollipop (Android 5.x+), you have to flash it via custom recovery. If you are on Android 4.0.3+, then just procede as described in (1.) above.

System App Remover + KingRoot

Hello guys!
After bricking my first Xperia Z thanks to Xposed, I decided not to root my second XZ. Used stock for about a year till yesterday, when i decited to root with kingroot + script.
Everything went well, i am now rooted, managed to change the dpi and the font. Hurray!
Now, I'm trying to remove some bloatware without getting into bootloops after, but i do not know which is safe or not..
I did not install any recovery, rom is stock LP.
My question is if there is a list with the safe apk's to remove taking in consideration the way i rooted + no recovery work done.
Please excuse me if this is a wrong section and thank you in advance!

Well, there is a usual sense as to how to remove apps. Apps which you do not see icons on your drawer/dock are USUALLY A BIG NO. Apps which you do see on your dock/drawer can be removed safely , however, try not to remove camera, settings or such things.
If you can send me screenshots, I can easily tell you which are safe and which are not. Do understand sometimes the apks are odexed which means they need another apk to function fully so if you remove on apk, it might affect another.
This usually tells you which bloatware is safe to remove

How did you brick your device with xposed?. Just asking so I won't do the same

Not that much to tell.. I was on 4.4.2 i think and i rooted with Towel Root app.
After rooting, i installed xposed and busybox. When the phone asked to reboot, i clicked ok and the phone just died.. RIP.
I tried to bring it back to life but no success. Even sent it to a service center, but same result. I was very lucky that i could get it replaced with warranty.
So my advice is to be very careful what you do..
