[Q] Xposed installer does not install

Hi, i have a Moto G and I did the OS upgrade ... now it has kitkat 4.4.2
After the upgrade, the Xposed Installer did not work anymore ... it was uninstalled apparently. I said "apparently" because some modules work.
So, I tried to download and install the last version of Exposed Installer ... but without success. The installer starts and run ... after some moments it says "App not installed".
I uninstalled all modules and tried again, but the Exposed Installer always shows "App not installed".
Can anyone help me ?

i had this problem before, you need any file manager and navigate to Android/data/ then you have to find the xposed installer folder and delete it then reinstall the apk

thank you so much for this !!

After upgrading to Marshmallow (Resurrection Remix) on S4 GT-I9500, the xposed apk file was not installing.
I had followed all instructions, proper .zip and .apk files, even clearing cache, etc. but nothing was working.
However, I found this solution on the net and it works!
xposed is active now.

After trying to post the message, I realised that since I am new to the forum I am not allowed to post external links.
But google "xposed app not installed" without the quotes and you will see the solution on a website (may be 4th or 5th from top) called mrad4tech.blogspot
This is what it says (credit to original author):
(1) Root enabled ES file explorer required
(2) Copy the not working .apk to system/app (retain the .apk file in original location for step 6, if required)
(3) Reboot phone
(4) You will see the application in the app drawer
(5) Try opening the app (this worked for me so I did not have to go to next step)
(6) If it force closes then install the .apk (in original location) now normally and it will work

Remove all AOSP apps

I am wondering if someone can make a flashable zip to remove all AOSP apps like phone, contacts, calendar, calculator, mail etc. All this apps are old dinosaurs apps and I am replacing them every time when I flash ROM. Also same thing with Music FX or DSP Manager. Because I am using Viper4Android I have to remove them before I flash Viper.
I have no skill come to that but will be nice if someone can create flashable zip or aroma installer which will remove all of that. Anyone?

"...old dinosaur apps..."
That still work. But I understand where you're coming from. With Google now updating most apps included in AOSP through the Play Store now the versions still in AOSP no longer get updated. What are you replacing these apps with, and is it a flashable zip you're using or a manual install?

If you install "Stock" or "Super" OpenGapps, it automatically replaces them I believe.

Yes, also with aroma open gapps I can simply replace anything I need. But, there is a catch. All this apps when they get updated in Google Play they stay where they are and new copy is installed like a duplicate. So you can uninstall update and get back to old version. That part I don't like. Why on Earth I need old app?
While apps installed from Google Play when they get updated they will be simply replaced. That is the reason why I would like to create aroma installer to remove all this apps from the system. Then I choose pico apps and everything else grab from Play Store.
I believe that make sense, right?

There appear to be duplicates because the original GAPPS package installed the AOSP version as a System App. When the app gets updated from the Play Store, the update is installed as a User App. So when you re-install/dirty install with the Stock or AROMA package, it does remove the System version, but not the Updated/User Version.
The only way around this that I know of is to not let apps update or install the desired GAPPS package from the very beginning.
There are also flashable mods that remove GAPPS, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/script-google-apps-debloater-t3446118. It works on the Nexus 6 as well, although it doesn't remove 100% of what it says it does. It's been hit-and-miss for me, but does work for the major debloat (international keyboards).

Dirty flashing instead of updating core apps is just to much to play for me. I don't have that time anymore ;(
I like to keep it simple is possible.
That script is very similar to what I am trying to do. I need same thing but with AOSP core apps plus music fx and dsp manager to be included also. That way my way of flashing will look like: flash ROM, remove AOSP core apps, flash pico open apps, flash viper, supersu... done
Now all I need to do download the rest from G play. Updating will not make any duplicates. All is clean, lean and fast

I am updating them with original Google versions from G Play.

If you really want to do this, the best way is by doing, because it's unlikely anyone is going to do it for you. Download a flashable zip from the forums, unzip it, extract the updater-script from the META-INF folder and open it. See what the script does, and then try making your changes to that script. Each app you want to delete will be on its own line in the script, and each will use either of the following commands.
Code:
delete("system/app/folder/apk");
delete_recursive("system/app/folder");
In the above, folder is the app's folder, and apk refers to the app itself. The first removes individual files. The second removes entire folders.

If you can boot into OS before removing them, then you can just root your device then get a file manager that you can give root access before going into the filesystem and just deleting the apps from there.

[Help] Magisk 16.0/5.7.0 Manager Crashes when hitting "+" on Modules

Can someone please help? Keeps saying unfortunately Magisk has stopped when I hit the "+" under modules. Frustrating. Tried uninstall + reinstall also....
On NOTE 4 - brand new QI2 Stock Rom installed with latest TWRP.....no idea what's going on with it.

had same issue on 3t omni/Havoc Rom, what i did is only uninstalled the magisk manager apk reboot and install apk again and no more crashing for me

Unfortunately even with a reboot and installing APK again - no crash. Beginning to suspect this is the ROM's fault....

Was having the same issue on the same ROM and this worked. Thanks! (The issue was that there was no file manager so magisk manager crashed when pressing + in the modules section, adding a file manager such as dropbox or xplorer fixes the issue)

won't boot after install of magisk manager pro

Hi all,
I install magisk manager pro to see what it is, but my rooted oneplus 5t(with magisk v14.0) won't boot now. I see the boot logo of oneplus during about 5 secondes and reboot on twrp.
What must I do to recover it.
Thanks

Magisk Manager Pro? From the Play Store or some website? Uh-oh... Fake Managers not provided by @topjohnwu. Who knows what they'll do to your device...
From the release thread:
The Magisk and Magisk Manager Github releases are the ONLY official places to download Magisk!
NEVER trust 3rd party sources, don't go to scammy websites!

Best thing would probably be to restore your backup.

I have installed "magisk manager pro 2019" by the playstore
I reflash the rom and magisk but same result

Don't install anything not provided by @topjohnwu. It's just fake apps trying to monetize on Magisk's success. Worst case they'll even harm your device...
You might be able to manually remove the app, by navigating to its location in the TWRP file manager and delete it. Other than that, restoring a backup or wiping your device might be the only way to go.

ok thanks for your reply.
Did you know how to find the correct folder to delet this app ?
I download the .apk file of this app but don't find any folder.
May be I found an uninstall.sh in the .apk can I run it in twrp ?

Kindly Do The Following
- Uninstall Magisk By Flashing Magisk-Uninstaller-20180328.zip Via TWRP
- Install Magisk Again

Did You Grant The Installed App The Root Privilege?

I have install the app and reboot to see the changes, but I don't grant root privilege.
Maybe this is the problem ?

You'll likely find files in /data/app, /data/data and /data/user_de/0 (and possibly other places) that are related to the app. Look for folders with the name bfd.app.poy.com.xss (the package name of the app) and delete those.

Anyway Try The Following
- Install Magisk
- Go To TWRP --> Advanced --> File Manager --> Data --> App --> Delete The Folder Of The Installed App
- (UP A Level) --> Data --> Delete The Folder Of The Installed App
- Clear DalvikCache & Cache Via TWRP --> Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select Only Dalvik/ARTCache & Cache --> Swipe To Wipe --> Reboot

Didgeridoohan: I delete all folders bfd.app.poy.com.xss that I found in the folder you write, I reflash full rom and magisk but same issue.
Have you other ideas?

Did you do anything else except install the app? It sounds strange that it would cause this kind of big issue. Does your device start if you don't install Magisk? Did you also install any modules that might be incompatible with your device? Etc...
Like I've said before, your best option might be to restore your backup (but by this time I'm assuming you don't have one).
If you can't get things figured out, the easiest solution is likely to wipe your device and start over. In TWRP you can choose to do an advanced wipe. Wipe everything except for internal storage (and external storage as well, of course) and then reinstall your system.
Don't forget to make regular backups once you get everything up and running again.

Didgeridoohan:
No I don't install other app or module. I install magisk manager pro 2019 and try to restart.
I have a backup a twrp backup but she is a little old. If there is only this solution I will do that.
Maybe is it possible to restaure ony the boot of twrp backup ?
Thanks.

Magisk lost after updating magisk without restoring magisk manager back to normal (Problem solved)

I thought this update is like the one used to be before. Without carefully reading the changelog, I clicked the install button. But now I can't find the magisk icon on my nova launcher.
What should I do now? I tried to flash magisk 22.0 image into the system, but the TWRP can't recognize the internal storage now which seems to be encrypted.
The apps required root works fine, but I can't properly use magisk now.

Problem solved. The hidden magisk just renamed it to magisk...

Hello I have the same problem but I don't understand your solution. What do I need to rename ?

You do not need to rename anything. Before updating it, I have renamed the magisk to "xxx". After update, I can't find the magisk named "xxx" on my launcher. It turns out magisk was renamed itself back to "magisk". So later I opened magisk just named "magisk" on my launcher. Hope it helps!

Sorry I don't undestand at all. Then we don't have the same problem as you rename magisk before doing the update. How do you rename it ? It was done by magisk itself using the hidden feature ?
If yes I should have also it but I have only magisk and no more magisk manager

Yes, using the hidden feature. (I forgot this term before.)
Your situation here is quite weird....

Thanks problem resolved by uninstalling magisk 23.0 + reinstall old version. Then reupdate and everything is ok (except that phone is still not certified even with hidden feature but it is another story)

Great!
