Time and date not saving, among other issues - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated my phone, 2014 Moto X from USC. Was on a stock 5.1 ROM, just installed CM12.1 and Xposed framework (including a number of modules, naturally). Between then and now, I've started having issues with some apps, Facebook and Messenger being initially noticed, just now Chrome Canary, as well as date and time not saving after reboot. I pulled some logs of the errors, before Chrome started quitting, with timestamps, but I don't know what I'm looking at, let alone how to even look for a fix for these issues that would, hopefully, not involve uninstalling Xposed or going back to a stock ROM. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I would attach a more recent log file, but I keep getting a network error message. I'll post it later if I can, if anyone requests it.

For anyone finding this post, I'm impatient and tried fixing my issues through other means. Apparently Xposed didn't like Chrome Canary, Facebook, or Messenger. At least not on my device. Ended up resetting and installing the latest CM13 nightly. Date and time was fixed until I installed Xposed, again. Realized my problem was I didn't have automatic date and time set. Chrome Canary continued to not work. Don't know about Facebook or Messenger as I found alternatives to the official apps that I prefer. After installing some modules, Xposed would cause my phone to bootloop after rebooting. So, still don't have Xposed, but my problems were resolved. Would rather be able to use Xposed, though. If anyone can offer any advice in that direction, I would be grateful.

So, an update, feels like this thread is more of a diary than a forum post, though. Xposed didn't work because of the November security patch. A fix has been made, though experimental, and can be found at the following link for anyone that would like Xposed on their post-Nov ROM, but it doesn't work on all devices, the thread suggests. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/discussion-xposed-marshmallow-t3249095/page453

Locale won't let me add location condition

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.
I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.
I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?
Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.
So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.
According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."
http://www.twofortyfouram.com/support.html
Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

[Q] Newly rooted 1.2 nook color - did I do it wrong?

So, bought a nook color yesterday. It came loaded with 1.2, and the first thing I did after registering is root. No custom ROM, but have superruser and official Android Market access. I can even install a few apps. However, there are a few that I expected to see (Kindle, Astro in particular) that dont show up via a specific search for them in the Market. Did I do something wrong? Did I somehow half-root this? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
There are issues with the market after rooting. One of the devs seems to have finally figured it out (apparently it's been quite a ***** to sort out), but he's validating it before publishing it.
Same problem
I have the same problem with the market place. Where will the fix be posted?
After manual rooting Calendar issues
After doing the manual root the one application that seems to be the trouble for me is Calendar. The Google Calendar does not allow to add an account calendar to use. I have tried several other applications with no luck either. One indicates there is a issue synch information.
Then the other minor issue is within the Market has been fun. While in the Market it will decide to either go back a screen, go to the main area of the Market or exit completely out of the Market. That created issue when I was in the middle of downloading an application.
Any suggestions? The Calendar is more important but it would be nice to get both issues resolved.
This worked great for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066969
The Calendar issue was resolved with CalenGoo. It is able to synch and update information.
Market is getting better with the steps.
Let the fun begin.
found this
this worked partly for me. shows all the apps now, but they still wont install. ha

Several different apps crashing due to Xposed Framework.

So, I believe I have done my due diligence and have discovered that XF is causing several apps and system apps to crash. After un-install of XF the apps all work flawless. The same issue occurs when modules are disabled yet XF is running. The apps that are affected are 500px, Grand St, Instagram (intermittently), Flipboard and stock Gallery app. I am running Galaxy S3 4.4.2 and am rooted. I noticed this around the summer of 2014 give or take a month or two. I have had a replacement phone sent from my carrier and issues still exist. I have tried to downgrade the framework however I can't seem to do so( XF will ask to upgrade). Perhaps v2.71 will fix this? Who knows
what is the question?
Hey Dan, well I thought I would put this issue out there since the support page for XF states that if there are issues it should be put forth to the public. I suppose my question is if there are others experiencing similar issues and might there be a resolution out there.

I'd suggest you grab a logcat (if you don't know how to do that, there are many tutorials around; you can do it using the CatLog app if your device is rooted) as soon as an app force closes, so that you can verify Xposed is causing the crashes (it might just be a coincidence).
Hi and thank you for your response. I have uninstalled each module from XF which are not many and the apps continue to force close. I delete XF and the apps that are work perfectly. I am also on a stable version of XF and have tried to downgrade to a previous version when my apps were not being force closed however XF does not allow this. Just putting this info out there that perhaps the developer(s) might resolve the issue.
Can you post a logcat after one of the apps force close?

[Discussion] Snapchat Locked Accounts Thread Magisk

This forum is meant for people who are getting locked out of their accounts due to "3rd Party Plugins or Applications"
We need to stop this from happening so share your experiences and thoughts on the matter.
I have 2 devices: a Nexus 6P running Pie (Pixel Experience) and a Pixel 3XL on the stock Pie rom. Both are rooted with Magisk Canary builds and both have Magisk Hide turned on. Snapchat never detects root on the Nexus but ALWAYS detects it on the Pixel. I've even repackaged Magisk on the Pixel but that doesn't help. I've read that it's easier for apps to detect root on A/B partition devices so maybe the newer, updated Snapchat apps have code to detect it. When I have time, I'll try an old version and see if it works...
Note that I don't believe Snapchat bans just by detecting root. It is detecting certain apps that are somehow triggering it. If you check the list of apps that you have given permission for superuser, it would be one of those. The app that I had that was triggering Snapchat was an app named app ops. I had downloaded it and just giving it permissions alone was getting me banned on Snapchat. I think this problem only affects users running Oreo or higher for whatever reason. I myself had an old phone running marshmallow with app ops and never experienced a ban. I don't think that any of the people reporting the problem had anything lower than Oreo. If you have somehow discovered the app causing your problems, uninstalling it may not fix your problem. I had to wipe my phone in order to fix it because I was still receiving bans despite uninstalling the app that was causing my problems
I've never installed app ops so that's not my problem.
As for A/B partitioning, I'm on a Samsung galaxy Note 8 and it didn't come out with this on my device so yeh ?
The main thing I found out that I had to do, was repackage the manager and I haven't been banned for the last 4 days
I am on the S8 plus and was locked out for 12 hours before. Snapchat continued to lock me out even when I fully uninstalled magisk. I decided to clean install a different Rom which seemed to do the trick. A month later I decided to go back to my original Rom and guess what? Can't even login coz of some mod I think.
So I would say it depends on what mods you have installed yourself or packaged with the custom ROM.
Snapchat ban
I have same problem. Yesterday they gave me ban but i was unbanned with their site. But today they give me one more ban but now is for 24h ... anyone know how to fix snap or maybe hide root? S7 9.0 blackdiamond v3
Downloaded an early January 2019 version of Snapchat and signed up for a new account on my Pixel 3XL. All was good at first then I closed the app. When I tried to sign back in, I got the "problem connecting to server" error which requires an update to the most current version. I updated and after just a few hours, I got the "12 hour account locked" message for "3rd party apps". I've had Magisk Manager repackaged but that obviously didn't help. BTW, I have not repackaged Magisk on my Nexus 6P and it's still works. I found a comment by a user of the Bitmoji app (which I use on my Pixel but not my Nexus) that reported his Snapchat was locked by this app so I uninstalled it. We'll see how it goes when my 12 hour ban is up...
Update: I uninstalled Bitmoji. I also added the systemless host module in Magisk and enabled systemless mode in Adaway. That is supposed to prevent Adaway from modifying the system partition but neither worked. I'm on a 24 lock now....

What apps have you given superuser? The app causing you problems is likely in that list
I had this happen before to me, i uninstalled edXposed and i was able to use snapchat even while on a 24 hour ban

Nope. I have the same apps on my Nexus 6P and it doesn't get locked out. In fact, my wife's Nexus 6P has the same apps, is rooted with SuperSu and she doesn't get locked out so IDK...

I don't know if this would affect you but an app that was causing the problems on my phone with Android 9.0 has no affect on an old phone running Android 6.0.1. I don't know why this happens but if you were running a new version of Android such as Android 9.0, an app that may not cause problems on your 6P may cause problems for you. And again, I have no idea why this happens but I can guarantee that was my problem and I haven't had a ban since

Both my Pixel 3XL and Nexus 6P are running Android 9 rooted with Magisk Canary (19005). Both have the same apps with superuser rights. All this to say that Snapchat was working fine on both for months and for about the last 6 weeks, my Pixel 3 XL's account gets locked and my Nexus 6P does not.
Thanks for trying to help and glad you figured your problem out.
I'm copying this from the SnapFreedom thread who's problems obviously mirror your own. I'll be editing parts out, but some of it should still apply if you guys are getting locked out.
XPrivacyLua
Install it from FDroid or Xposed Repo and check the boxes for "Determine activity" and "Get applications" in Snapchat's tab. You can also enable "Get location" to spoof your location and still use SnapMaps.
Magisk
A few points, these probably don't apply, but they're still worth doing.
Repackage it through Settings -> Hide Magisk
Make sure to block all components under "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Store". There's a few things that aren't blocked by default that might trigger SafetyNet.
Snapchat
Hoo boy...
Don't use anything higher than, and including, 10.41.6.0. It's pretty much a ban-fest. With SnapTools, we use 10.20.5.0 and 10.26.5.0. Those are probably your safest bets. Also, if you plan on downgrading, use any 10.39 app. Something in how logins work has changed in the later versions, so apps like Preferences Manager don't work.
Theming your app should be okay. I did it for months and never got a ban.
Only give it the bare minimum permissions. Storage, Camera, and Microphone. Location too, if you're into being tracked by your friends and Snapchat.
Do NOT use modified apps. At all. Ever. They're the easiest things to detect.
If you want to block ads reliably, you can use this Magisk Module. This WON'T stop bans.
Snapchat also logs your device ID. If you've received a temp-ban prior to this, make sure to change your Device ID. If you're on Oreo, you can use this app. If not, you can use Titanium Backup to change it. The latest version with this function is version 8.2.2. But honestly, the most reliable way is to reflash your ROM.

There are all the reasons why i purely stopping to use Snapchat, and also due to the fact that the application is so badly optimized for Android (even since the complete redesign of the application), in the end considering my use so irregular, I just uninstalled it, so no problem.
The time of Snapprefs and Snaptools was fun and funny, and especially less vicious as a concept than the basic one.
The good old days, but all good things must come to an end.

It's what happens when a company becomes complacent and puts more effort into blocking modifications instead improving their terrible app.
Update:
About 2 weeks ago, I flashed the May rom update for my Pixel 3 XL, installed Snapchat ver. 10.41.6.0, hid SC and all components of Google Play Services and Google Play Store in Magisk and I haven't been banned! I detach SC from the Play Store with TiBu but it somehow gets reattached. I just don't update it. Thanks @TevW !!!
I have got a problem, I have a Nokia 7 Plus, stock fw no changes at all!
And I keep getting banned... Support is a joke, I just get automatic replies...
The only reason i may have for getting bans is if snap scans the sd card, where I have magisk and roms files from other devices...
Any tips ???

Does this mean that I can't use energized adblock magisk module? Do I have to use only the Snapchat adblock magisk module that you linked for any kind of adblocking on the device.
Thanks!

Magisk, Google play and banking app

Hello,
my Oneplus 7+ is running stock Android 11. Magisk has been installed and since a month ago everything was working fine (even DKB TAN2go and other banking apps). Last month an update for Comdirects Photo TAN was released and it stopped working. Luckily I was not the only one to encounter it and the description from @ralphabt here solved the issue for me.
Since this morning Google Pay stopped working (of couse I only noticed when I tried to pay and had my wallet nearby). SafetyNet fails (basic and cts). If I disabled the modules that I installed for the PhotoTan fix, SafetyNet is working again.
I found the MagiskHide Props Config, which I don't have a problem installing and testing, but I was wondering if there anything else I can try before fixing an issues that is caused by a solution for another issue.
Thanks a lot!
If SafetyNet now triggers from the Riru/EdXposed stuff you'll likely have to wait for an update to those modules (or try the latest beta/alpha/canary releases). Or try LSPosed instead (seems like more people have success with that). It's a cat and mouse game...
Im still waiting for anyone to give me a valid reason to use Xposed of any sort....
I pulled it out recently after jettisoning Xposed back in Marshmallow days, and was completely unsurprised that in my attempts to avoid root detection when i was having bank app issues it just broke things harder
Your biggest issue is getting SafetyNet pass...
Getting Google Pay and banking apps is another level...
My current setup for working bank apps (my bank at least) and working Samsung Pay & Google Pay is, should you wish to have a crack:
Magisk Alpha - here (second most recent at time of posting) or here for latest:
Riru - here
Riru-Momohider - my own mod of that module attached to my post here (where i just added creation of the 4 optional config options to the installations script, to avoid manual jiggery pokery, touching 4 files in a terminal every ROM flash didnt seem like a fun thing after the 3 ROMS i tested that week i started using Riru-Momohider)
Im talking those are the only modules i use. Even a simple font replacement module will give up a system modification to most root detection apps. So no fonts, no emojis swapping, no fiddly shizz. Keep it simple.
You can get an idea of what may be setting things off via Magisk Detector here, or VD Infos here (apologies to Didge, as mentioning that may be a trigger )
And i now get to tell you that this only currently works on 2 ROM's for my device, all the others cough up the existence of root through modifications made by devs to build.prop etc
So even in the best circumstances, and with all the right magisk and riru modules, the ROM youre using can still betray you.
Isnt that fun?
Worth pointing out (so frequently am i pointing this out these days im thinking of removing the link to my GPay Magisk Module from my sig) that for like 6 months now its been unnecessary for a lot of people to
a) Use the Google Pay db fix originally sussed out by @BostonDan, or my Magisk Module that does the same thing
and
b) Enable MagiskHide for Google Pay...
Actually getting SafetyNet is rather easy - if I remove EdXposed and XPrivacyLua it is working again and Google Pay as well. I only installed (my only reason) it, as it was required to get that banking app running.
I am using different banking apps and it the past the one from german DKB was rather difficult, but with newest Magisk (23) and Magisk Hide it is working.
