Galaxy S4 Active Xposed - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help to install xposed on my galaxy s4 active i537. I am aware that you need to have a custom recovery but I heard you can also use FlashFire, which I have. The ROM I am currently using is 5.0.1 lollipop. It is touchwiz and it is deodexed. How do I do it

install snapchat, log in, then install xposed. that way, you can still use snapchat and still be able to have/use xposed.

How To Videos on the Sprint Galaxy S4! (08/10/13)

This has been done MANY times before.
I recently purchased the Galaxy S4 and I make 1080p video tutorials on how to unlock, root, install custom recovery, roms, and etc.
Here are some videos that I know will help a lot of people out. I put a LOT of time and effort into making the best videos possible. If you have any suggestions for videos to make, please let me know! I'll be doing videos on roms and other development stuff found in the threads.

As far as I'm aware, this is the only thread in the Galaxy S4 forums with "How To" videos all in one place.
There will be MANY more Galaxy S4 videos to come. I'm going to do my full review of ForceROM once I've had time to play with it and can do an honest review. I will be doing a video on how to flash it stock this week or next week. Plus many more rom videos, tips/tricks, and etc.
Mine... Because all of the kids are doing it these days.
Many more videos will be added soon!
Dude you rock
I love the 90s. Good times.
This should be a sticky as well as the other video.

you can install ota's with custom recovery btw
its messing with anything on system that causes installs to fail
I'm assuming these methods are for MDC and not MDL correct?

I've always had it fail with custom recovery. And I don't usually uninstall system apps. I'll note that in the video though! Thanks.

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas
Thanks boy.!
Awsome i was waiting for this.! thanks dev.! great :highfive:

Am I understanding this correctly? So if we've rooted and installed a custom recovery but everything else is stock we can accept an OTA without breaking root?

normally id say yes, as teh custom recovery will detect root has been altered and restore it. with this new setuid stuff it is no longer the case :/

This freaking update is nagging me and won't go away. I was talking with @Unknownforce, and now I don't want to install it...
I flashed the Slim Rom and the annoying update went bye bye.
This is really great thread Josh. What do you recommend for a rom. I need wifi teather

Everytime I tried to flash the ota it failed at the flashing point. I'm thinking it was due to the kernal being changed in my root process. I used OUDHS recovery method. ... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong which I might be.

Really, you have done a great job. I have seen all of your videos, but I did not find anything, which is needed to change. Superb !!.. It helps many people who have a galaxy S4. Thanks a lot for sharing such a helpful thing.

If you didn't remove the stock bloat then you'd need to throw the stock recovery back on.
Have already seen the ota fail with twrp and oudhs.
(That's if you really want the ota to work)

ForceROM has the working hotspot mod. I used it just yesterday. Plus it's debloated and pretty awesome!

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

How stable is Xposed on the GS5?

I just rooted with Towel root and did all the goodies (debloated, etc). I'd like to use Xposed for Gravity box or Wanam. I noticed some threads are complaints about the phone acting up after installing the framework, others say it's module associated.
Curious to how stable the framework is. Is anyone experiencing anything without running any modules, or with Wanam/Gravitybox?

Depends on what you want, I did the Xposed and Wanam, but lost private mode and S health. They worked fine but I do use the S health, so waiting to see if someone can get them all playing well together.
I have no issues with anything. Bloat gone and Knox disabled. I didn't buy the S5 for all of Samsung's gimmicky features, so I don't care if they're there or not.

this is what you do to get s health to work:
Make sure the Xposed isn’t installed.
We need to change build.prop file inside the system partition, you can also get it done manually by using a file manager app or get a build prop editor on play store.
Once you find the build.prop file, look for the “ro.securestorage.support=true” line.
Now change the line to “ro.securestorage.support=false”.
Install the Xposed framework again.
The final step is wiping S Health app data, head to System -> App Manager -> ALL -> S Health then wipes the data. Now your Galaxy S5 should be able to runs Xposed framework and S Health simultaneously without any problems.

I tried this, but I could never get s health to work again even with Xposed uninstalled. I have gone back to unrooted stock for now.
All is good using Wannam, Exposed G-Touchwiz and RootCloak!
Just remember to enable the modules after you install and reboot to insure they're active.

G900A root Lollipop

Hey there,
I have read through tons of threads and google searches but I can't seem to find a straight answer with a guide. I just got an S5 G900A (AT&T) Preloaded with 5.0 Lolipop. I'm wanting to know is there a way to root the phone without tripping Knox?
I currently use an S3 with 4.1.1 that does what I need, All I'm wanting to be able to do to the S5 is load FoxFi & Titanium Backup to use as a hotspot and remove bloatware, I'm still within my 2 weeks if the phone is unable to be rooted I really have no need for it and able to return at this moment as It has only been powered on to check.
Thanks
No way to root 5.0 on the S5 at this point. I seriously doubt a method will come out before your return period. If root is that important to you, return it.

Trust me, when someone gets Xposed working on Galaxy S6, it will be all over the interwebz. You won't have to start (another) thread asking about it.
bump. bueller? bueller? xposed? just want to make sure i didn't miss it.
You're all late to the party. Xposed it already working on the GS6.
I'm using it right now -_-

What ROM are you guys using? I wanted to use xposed with the stock ROM, but xposed requires the ROM to be doxed, so I can't. Hopefully there is some ROM that is close to stock, and works with xposed.

ExtreStroLite is based off stock and works on t-mobile amazing
I'm running it on Rapture ROM 2.1 (based on COF8, 5.1.1). I had to flash a different kernel to get the in-call audio working on this ROM, but I haven't really had any other problems with it. It's close to stock from what I can tell.
PM me if you run into that problem.

Need advice on rooting samsung s5 and s5 active for deleted text message recovery

Hey everybody, I'm new to rooting and need some help. I need to root 2 Samsung devices, both running android 5.1 an s5 and s5 active. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's not possible.

Not that I'm aware of. The only thing I can think of is getting a transcript from your provider.
