Problem with swift - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys. So I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with the Swift Installer that was pushed out today, or yesterday? I've read through the help docs, but haven't anything pertaining to my particular problem. The app worked fine on the previous version. After updating it had me go through setup again. On the personalization page it works fine, but I can't get to any other activity in the app it just force closes until I clear data and cache. I've tried reinstalling the themes to no avail. As it only shows two apps on my device. Unless perhaps I was supposed to uninstall all overlays before updating the app? I've seen no mention of that except for ota's n such.
I've got a N950F single sim running oreo. Thanks for any advice ya'll can give. Cause I really don't feel like flashing to stock again rn. Lol appreciate it guys.
Edit. I also tried flashing the recovery zip for pie (couldn't find the one for Oreo, but it did absolutely nothing.) Also I'm rooted with Majisk. I found a module that was added to majisk for swift, but I'm not entire sure what it is for.

Update: Problem wasn't on my end been fixed now.

[Q] Google Play Services not Available

I just made the leap from the latest stock AT&T ROM to the latest Holics ROM. I'm really liking it so far... everything is working really smoothly, with two exceptions. Google+ and Google Keep do not work. Google+ simply will not open and freezes my phone for several seconds. Google Keep opens and immediately closes with the error "Google Play Services are not available". These are the only 2 apps that appear to be affected. I have done the following...
Cleared data from both apps
Uninstalled and re-installed both apps
Cleared data from Google Play Services
Uninstalled and re-installed Google Play Services <--- I don't recommend this step to anyone. It completely screwed all my Google apps.
Factory reset
Re-flashed the ROM - Step-by-step to make sure I did it right
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I have no problem here (not holics rom) Maybe try a different ROM?
Resolved - Sort of...
I discovered that the problem was not present when I would initially flash the ROM. I could install all kinds of apps and make all kinds of tweaks and changes. It wasn't until I powered off the phone AND pulled the battery that the problem would present itself.
Here's the kicker. What I found was if I simply went in and uninstalled the updates from Google Play and then opened Google Play and let it re-install the latest update the problem would go away.
So, while it's not a resolution per se... it is an easy 5 minute work around. The phone works perfectly as long as I don't pull the battery. I've tested this work around 3 times and every time the problem went away.
At least now I won't have to worry about flashing another ROM until the call volume issues with the Jelly Bean ROMs gets resolved.
:good:
same problem, resolution not working

I tried your trick, after the 3rd time it work for me. This problem also affects the YouTube and Foursquare apps as far as I can tell.
However the problem returns each time the phone is restarted. Is there any other permanent fixs? Any similar ROM suggestions? (S-ON HTC Vivid)
You've had a bad flash. Wipe all partitions and start fresh. This happened to me before as well. Only way to fix it was to wipe all partitions and reflash

Same here. Been running Banancakes ROM for over a year, and loving every minute of it... But this issue with Google Keep is driving me up the walls. Thanks for your workaround, it saves the day for now, but this is one annoying bug. I don't use YouTube so wouldn't know, but I'll give it a look see to find out if the same applies.

I don't know. I have wiped and flashed quite a few times to try other ROMs and that behaviour is pretty consistent...

I had this same issue with keep and google plus using codefire desensed Rom on my vivid. I was able to fix it by wiping everything and reflashing the Rom but I also flashed ics gapps right away after. Don't know if that was necessary or not but now I no longer get that play services error. Also my play store app updated automatically to 4.0 right away where before it did not update.
Just a thought, but reflashing fixed my issue.

I'll probably give it another try, but I flashed it again recently and did exactly that : full wipe, gapps right away and I have the same issue as OP. I did restore a bunch of stuff via TB, so maybe that's where I screwed up...

[Q] Bootstrap Issue?

I apologize if this issue has been addressed. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything that specifically addressed this issue.
I rooted my phone sucessfully several weeks back and downloaded Paranoid Android ROM. I recently got notification of a new version of the ROM, which I downloaded. However, after downloading and installing I found that my auto-rotate wouldn't work. Also whenever I tried to use Google Now for search I got the message 'Can't reach Google right now'. I did a backup prior to installing the ROM, so I tried to go back to it, and I'm still having the issue with the auto-rotate.
I did some searching around and it appears to be related to a 'bootstrap24a' issue? I'm not familiar with this term and would appreciate any help that anyone could offer that would enable me to get the ROM working properly again. I checked the similar threads that XDA showed and most of them were several years old and didn't seem to directly address this issue.
Thanks
Did you happen to flash any modem version with your downloads??

Google Wallet stuck on newest ROM - Suggestions?

Hello XDA geniuses; If anyone can figure out and provide me some suggestions, its here!
So, I've been running Benzo ROM for the last few months, its perfect for me. I've tried others but have settled on it. In the last update, it required a clean flash, which I did. TWRP -> Advanced Wipe -> System, Data, Dalvik and Cache. Never had an issue before, but in this build I can't use Google Wallet or Tap and Pay.
When I go to start either of those 2 apps, they just sit at the initial screens. Thats all, they just sit there.
I've made sure I'm signed into my account, no ad blocking or security issues I can see. I've wiped and re-flashed 4 times. Made sure I have the right ROM and gapps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Wallet a bunch of times.
The dev did say in this build he; "AOSP Webview to Google's Webview", hence the clean flash.
Nothing I've tried yet has made any difference. I did a logcat, but did not see anything notable.
And, yes of course I posted this in the ROM forum, unfortunately I've not received much response and figured I would ask in the Help section.
Thanks in advance and if you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I use Wallet daily and I hate to move off this rom, but I have been trying others and I do rely on Wallet at this point.

Hey Evolution_Tech, super appreciate the feedback! Yes, I tried it again, just to make double sure. I force stopped Wallet, even went into Show Cached Process and killed it. Same thing for both T&P and Wallet; I bring up the app, it goes to the 1st screen and boom just sits. In T&P I cant even press the Display link. So freaking odd.
Again, Thanks!!

Hello; Here is what worked for me, but I have to preface it with make sure you do a good backup. When the Rom I use asked for a full refresh including wiping data, is when I had the issue. I eventually tried it with not wiping data and that's what worked. I think wallet keeps some persistent data there and when you wipe it out, it gets stuck. Good luck.
I will try and make this my last update; I finally got wallet to work with a complete wipe, including data.
I used dev options and found the package in data/data for wallet, its com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
I copied com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel from data/data into a folder on my sd card. Then I did my clean wipe. I installed wallet and let it build the structure. Then when I tried it, it would hang. I stopped it, then I copied all the files back in from my backup and it worked. I overwrote the files and used es file explorer that had root.
Make sure, as always you have a good backup.
If you have any questions just give me a shout.

Xposed Framework On Stock 5.0.2 L90 D415

Have anyone succesfully got Xposed Framework running on stock 5.0.2 L90 D415??
I think you have to get a new recovery (twrp) in order to install xposed and then install the rom again.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I flashed the zip file, wiped cache, and reboot. My phone booted up but i got com.android.phone force closing. Weather app also force closes. And since com.android.phone force closes you get no signal.
My experience...did the lollipop ota for tmo, didn't really care for it much. Used one click root, added flashify and twrp custom recovery and did a nandroid backup. Installed xposed arm zip and it just stuck on the lg logo for quite a long time. Second attempt i did the wipe after installing xposed and it made it past lg logo to tmo boot and hung up. In my reading, saw something about xposed will not work on stock firmware. But isn't xposed for people that want to mod stock roms? Main thing is...back up before anything. Have already used mine 4 times.
So I originally flashed the latest xposedv66 and was not successful. Found xposed-arm-20150213b.zip everything looked good, even had signal. Like you, weather app stopped. So, I tried file manager to get to the installer and it stopped also..
If you're going to do it, BACK UP BEFORE YOU INSTALL. I cannot get it to work, reason why? I do not have the logs but if you install liveboot and activate it, then install the zip and reboot, liveboot will show you a command that is supposed to activate but fails and retries. Its essentially a bootloop but without the reboot. It will not allow you to boot without that feature being activated. Do it for yourself but remember to back up all system partitions and restore them. When you reboot after restore, the system will do the whole 'optimizing apps 1 out of 200' thing so don't worry if it takes a while to boot. Will have more on this when I get home to my laptop.

I tried the one you suggested and I successfully rebooted. However, Lollipop ran slower and then I opened the alpha apk that came on the official thread. It said alpha 3.0 was installed but not activated. So I just decided to restore to before I installed. Xposed is being worked on and its in its alpha stage. Its bound to have bugs. Since THE D415 already has root, I'm fine to wait for an official version of Xposed that works to come out. Also, Even though I had 2 Gigs of data left on internal, there was a notification pestering me saying there was little to no storage left on my phone. Otherwise, no app crashes.

Flashing the ROM again will only wipe/remove xposed.
It's a known fact that lg weather doesnt work on xposed lollipop i also found that file manager didnt work during my period of testing, i don't know if i experienced com.android.phone force closing since I restored from my backup but xposed is definitely not usable on stock lollipop.
Newest xposed version v68 works great! No phone FCs. Now go download it!!!
Where can I download the newest version at because all of them up to this point are not stable on my lg 90 415d , I tried v71 and everytime I try to open my gmail Google Play services force closes

Weather app, File manager app works on Lollipop D415 no problem or still buggy with some apps but fixed some others?

There are newer versions of xposed that fix compatibility issues with LG's encrypted apps (weather, etc) since my post, so they should work with the newer versions of xposed. I only recommended version v68 because I never really use LG apps so I went ahead with such an update. Hope this helps!
Xposed for visually impaired users
Hi, everyone!
I'm visually impaired and I've been "adapting" and customizing my stuff (for a better, more comfortable usability) since 1998 (for Win and Mac) and 2010 for mobile devices, with great success.
I could install the Xposed framework to my Galaxy Tab 3 running KK 4.4.2 (Serbian Stock) back in 2012. But I cannot find a way to install it to my LG L90 D410 running Lollipop 5.0.2.
The option for those specific brands and models in based on the need for good cost-benefit ratio pieces of equipment, so that anyone can benefit from my findings, even those running on a low budget.
I'm preparing a podcast and an YouTube channel on accessibility.
All that put, I'd appreciate any input on how to make the Xposed framework to work on the LG L90. Suggestions o modules that can be useful for vision impaired people will be very welcome too.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!
