[Q] Can someone please help me?

Xposed Framework will not install on my Straighttalk Samsung Centura for nothing. I tried installing different versions of Xposed Installer and that didn't help. Yes, I'm rooted. I use other root apps with no problem. I use Superuser. It works fine. Ok, so when I press Install/Update on Xposed Installer I giver it Superuser permissions and it says Install/Update with the little circle going around. It stayed like that all night. What am I doing wrong? I started thinking and I even changed /system permissions to r/w with File Explorer because my installation mode is Classical(write to /system directly) and thag didn't either. Does Xposed Installer use any data because I'm currently throttled and my 3G speeds are so slow. So I was wondering when you press Install/Update does Xposed Installer download something or no? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Have you tried a different installation method? Also, can you post a logcat when the circle keeps on spinning?
Only the "Downloads" section uses the Internet.

I took a couple of screenshots. I'm not very techy. I don't know what a logcat is. :/

To change the installation mode: tap "installation mode".
To take a logcat: Google "logcat". There are plenty of great tutorials around that cover pretty much everything.
EDIT: Also make sure you're using the latest version of the Xposed Installer.

What installation mod should I change it to? And yes I tried using the latest version. That's why I'm using v2.6

Any of the recovery methods. One is automatic, the other manual - pick whatever you want.
A logcat of the classical installation method will be useful if you want to see it fixed (if possible), so you probably want to do that first if you care.

Too bad 2.6.1 is the latest stable version. Shouldn't make a difference, though.

No, please paste the full logcat somewhere like pastie.org or bpaste.net. You can also zip it and attach it here.

Also I didnt mention that when I give it Superuser permission, a popup keeps saying "shell has been granted Superuser permissions". I think that's normal though. It only does it for about a minute and the circle keeps spinning

Didn't the Xposed Installer warn you about a segmentation fault? Check the FAQ and try the build there (search for "segmentation fault").

Thank you so much for your help. I installed XposedInstallerStaticBusyBox_v1.apk and Xposed Framework is installed. I just have to reboot.

[Q] howto delete old module versions?

using xposed frameworks for long time now, I have a lot of old versions of my modules on phone
where are this module versions stored?
how can I delete this old versions I never will reuse/reinstall again?
Frank

Not sure it will help, as you surely noticed that before. Anyway.... In the "Modules" section of Xposed, a long press on the module you want to get rid of will bring you the option you're looking for.

To add to what Roudier said, modules are just like normal apps and can be uninstalled the same way.

I think everyone misunderstood the question.
I think he's asking where the old versions of each module are stored, as it's possible to uninstall the latest version of a module and install an older version that you had installed without downloading it again.
Basically, where are the downloaded files stored?

That's handled by the download manager, it's usually cleared after a reboot if I'm not mistaken.
Doesn't sound like that's what he's asking about, though.

He's seems to be specifically asking about old versions of modules there.
In any case, I actually wanted to know where old versions of installed modules were stored so I could delete them and your reply provided the required information. They were all in the download manager and were not deleted after a reboot, so I manually deleted the specific old versions of modules that were no longer required. Thanks.

I deleted them via the download manager.
Enter it via "Downloads" in your app drawer, then long press any item you want to delete and a trash icon should show up to allow you to delete them (at least that's how it works on my device).

Hi,
that's easy
I must confess that I rarely used the App Drawer and the download app I've never particularly noticed
This is about to change, thanks for the hint :good:
Frank

You're welcome.

[Doogee F5] Flashing XPosed Framework .zip ?

Hi there anyone!
This is my first post ever so I'm sorry if it's not the right place, but I really need help with this thing.
I used to have XPosed Framework running on my old Doogee DG550, and it was real fun. Now I got a Doogee F5 running Android 5.1 and I decided to put XPosed it too.
However, I'm finding it extremely difficult, as I got "stuck" while trying to follow the guide in this post.
I've installed the XPosed Installer just fine, I can see it in my apps, but of course it still says I need to install the Framework. So I downloaded the version mentioned in that post, which is xposed-v85-sdk22-arm64.zip and then the Official TWRP App I found on the PlayStore.
Then I simply tried to open the app and find the file while searching through my folders, but the app couldn't recognize it. So I tried extracting it in a folder and then pointing out the entire folder to the app, and this failed too. I tried opening every single folder within the .zip file, but yet no usable file was found.
Now I'm kinda stuck: I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, and as you might have already figured out I'm a real noob at this.
If any of you people can help, that would be great!

Unable to update system apps with .apk files from www.apkmirror.com

APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install with the message "App not installed", with the exceptions of Samsung account, Samsung Galaxy Apps, Samsung Notes and Samsung Themes.
Here are some observations:
Create shortcut to .apk file and install immediately after reboot (Did not work)
Toggle "Secure Startup" in Settings and reboot (Did not work, it worked on the S8 and S7 devices)
Installing via ADB (Failed with the following error):
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Changing the version code of the .apk file with APK Editor (Did not work, causes "App not installed. The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name" error, which is different from the "App not installed" error initially)
For a screenshot of the "App not installed" error, please look at this post by @Teknick.
Searching this error on Google returns few useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I highly suspect this is a Samsung security policy that is preventing the install. Is there any workaround? (except rooting, of course) I wouldn't be asking this if the Samsung apps could update themselves. Right now, every Samsung app insists that "The latest version is already installed" in the About section when there's a clearly a 2-month-later newer version available. And, no, these .apk files are NOT from the S8 Oreo beta.

Seriously, no one?

If you are going to lecture people on the forum rules, I suggest you go back and read them yourself.
I'll make it easy and highlight a section for you real quick:
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.​Also, if you can point out the 24 hour rule, I'd appreciate it, because the only part I found on bumping threads is this:
You can add updates to your thread (ie new features for an app., etc), BUT only update if you are posting relevant to the topic and NOT with the sole purpose of getting the thread to the top of the page (known as "bumping") otherwise it will be considered as spam.​

Nowhere in the forum rules does this appear. If you don't have anything that is helpful/adds to the discussion, why post this? I started this thread because I believe this issue needs more attention like I said before, as well as providing more information for others who might have this problem as well (and might be searching for answers here).

You can install some of them after you got new official update <security/policy update>,
The signature is different for different model, even same app like device maintenance, you cannot install the apk file from phone s8,s8+
For some independent app like samsung account, samsung themes, you can upgrade with installing the apk from the website you mentioned.
If you have 3rd party recovery installed, you can do your flashable file, then update via recovery, that's the way I'm doing usually.

Hi hinnn,
Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate your info. However, I have a few clarifications:
So Samsung indeed has a security check on the system APKs now to make sure it matches the device? Is the "About" section of the system apps correct after all? I'm on the latest AQI1 firmware with August 2017 security patch, and security policy has "already been updated to the latest version". Could you clarify which update you are referring to? Lastly, what is an "independent app" that you mentioned, and which apps are "independent"? Sorry if I ask too much, I came from installing these system APKs on S7 edge, I do not know about the latest mechanisms in S8 & Note 8.
Edit: I tried installing the latest Air Command APK, which also failed with the same error. But as far as I know, S8 has no S-Pen so no Air Command, correct? This should be for Note 8 yet it didn't install

Actually, SAMSUNG didn't push through the security policy in that way, usually, we need update to next version like AQI2 or AQJ1, then you can install some of them, otherwise you will get the message saying signature conflict
An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed
For "independent app", like standalone app, samsung themes, galaxy apps, samsung account which isn't running with any particular framework , not too much.
P.S. I'm not a professional guy, probably my explainable doesn't make sense, or not correct, just for your information.
Cheers

I have the exact same problem and I didn't find any solution yet. And like you I come from the S7 Edge and I used to update my apps like this. So if someone has any suggestion I take it.

Thanks for the clarifications! After some more observations, it seems that any APK released after 26 September 2017 will not install on Samsung devices running Nougat 7.1.1 (except the 4 mentioned in the first post). However, I do not get the "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed" error, I get "App not installed" error instead as shown by the screenshot.
However, changing the version code and re-signing the APK with APK Editor app will produce "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed" error that you mentioned when attempting to install (which is different from the original error)
As for the "framework" concept, could you elaborate a little further? The "Secure Startup" exploit works on all Samsung devices that were not originally on Nougat, but were later updated to Nougat 7.0. (It might work on the S8 and S8+ too, although I'm not sure about that).

@100055
No problem with this as this problem is solved temp only
for example
there are certain apps which are not stable and yes 1 or 2 are stable out of 98% unstable apps as i tried all apps and saw it was unstable and caused lots of problem
from adb
put the following command and install the apk
adb install -l -r C:\Users\anand\Desktop\soundalive.apk
[use red highlighted command line only. green highlighted line is for reference only]
the app will install but if you reboot your device the update of the apk will be lost and more over the previous app update officially done by Samsung will be wiped you have to reinstall the update from the galaxy app store again
if you dont reboot then its fine being using the app of updated one for example i needed only soundalive.apk till today.. so i update it and wont reboot my device so i enjoy the updated sound quality of it

Thanks for the solution, it indeed works! But why doesn't the update stay through a reboot though? And why does adding the option -l work?

[OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat/Oreo [v90-beta3, 2018/01/29]
Note: This thread is here mostly for historical purposes. While Xposed is supported in various forms [EdXposed and LSPosed], developent on the Xposed primary app has completed. Xposed framework compatible modules are still in active development...
forum.xda-developers.com

I do confirm that the domain https://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/ is not working.
Even for already installed Xposed on android devices, when you open it, the application tries to download and fetch an XML file in dl-xda.xposed.info.
There is also another error due to the same source : Could not load available ZIP files. Pull down to try again

I've updated Magisk on my Nougat and now I'm facing the same issue.
Theres a "backup" here, but I don't know how to tell Xposed to used the URL:
Index of /framework/
...or where should I put the framework files.
Edit: the URL that I posted doesn't have the actual files, I've just realized.

Hey all! I had the same problem and I'm happy to report I've fixed it. Daniel_Laixer was on the right track. Take his link, Index of /framework/ and go to whatever sdk version you need (mine was 26). Keep going and pick the .zip when you get there, then pick 1 capture in the upper left area. Click on whatever date is highlighted, and this should give you the .zip file. (it took me a few refreshes before it would give it to me for some reason). Then drop into recovery mode on your phone and install the zip. Done!
