KatKiss and Xposed modules not functioning? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think it was Frederuco who mentioned using Xposed framework to customize his installation of KatKiss... so I got curious and started installing a couple of modules. Problem is, some don't seem to work. I was able to successfully install the DitheredHoloBackground and Master Key Multi-fix modules, but I also tried XHaloFloatingWindow and Xlocky modules. The latter two install just fine, but their settings don't affect anything. Also, I'm not sure how to even use XHaloFloatingWindow. I've used Halo on my phone running ROMs that include PA features, so I'm somewhat familiar with the functionality.
Nothing pressing here, I just like to tinker.
Anybody had any luck with Halo on KatKiss?

I tried the xhalo and it was pretty wonky on KatKiss. I uninstalled it. The only modules I have really used are the XBlastTools and the Music2SD option. Not all modules work with all devices and ROMs. Not sure what else to say.

Sense 6 Toolbox (I think) broke my circle battery

I opened Xposed Installer this morning to check for updates. Sense 6 Toolbox and Snapshare both updated, and then something.systemui crashed. I rebooted and now circle battery (which I had gotten from GravityBox) is reading 0%. If I set GravityBox back to the default battery it reads correctly. Anyone else seen this?
I'd try the basic xposed troubleshooting. Just remove the modules reboot try again. If all else fails uninstall xposed framework and try again. If that fails try to find the previous versions of the effected modules

Very possible... although gravity box was never intended to work with sense. It is probably an issue with gravity box, not the sense toolkit.
Well, I had to reinstall Xposed but it seems to be working now. THanks for the help.

XPosed Modules!?

1)Does using xposed modules affect the performance of your phone!?
2)Does "per app dpi" module work well in kitkat 4.4.2?
3)Is it recommended to even restore the xposed framework+modules via titanium after flashing a "different" rom?
4)Why does fixing permission restore the modifications done via xposed to some apps?
5)are the modification codes injected into the rom or they run over it(sorry if i sound like a noob,i am one)?

1) for some people for no known reason
2) yes, app settings
3) Same as any other app restore. Who cares, do what you want
4) Didn't know it did. "fix permissions" is not a good thing to do. Avoid it at all costs
5) Read the xposed thread. they are not injected (thats the whole point)

I will surely read it.. thanks for getting back!:good:
btw fixing permissions is bad... i did it quite often!
and at times it does help me when i have fcs!
Btw when i restored the entire xposed thing after i recently flashed slim (after coming from stock) some changes offered by gravity box didnt work well i probably think it may be some compatibility issues!

Xposed runs on top, not changing code. Gravity box only supports pure AOSP. The code Gravity box changes is not the same if not AOSP so some things work, some do not.
Dont fix permissions. Recovery doesnt know what permissions should be so it guesses. Bad

Xposed on 5.1.x

so it seems that xposed has been enabled on 5.1.x for the mate 7. it seems that you have to freeze themes and edit a few files. can anyone show the steps in order to do this?
I have it installed and all I done was tick the unhook resources in settings,problem is not many modules work,I wanted ambient screen and had no luck.

oh! wow! i guess xposed v79 fixed many problems. i know that there are many modules that dont work, it seems that for now its a gamble. thanks for the help snake65, ill install it later and hope that per app settings works!
Yes, post the steps please!
so i tried installing last night and while it worked, the framework disables the navbar. anyone know of a solution to this?
installed:
Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha4
xposed-v79

The best solution for now is to use Kang VIP rom. Xposed on this ROM works by disabling the themecolor and hwthemes line from Bild.prop as well as freezing/uninstalling the Themes file. Then turn on "disabled Resource Hooks". But what's even better is once you have Xposed working on Kang VIP, you can actually tick off the "Disable Resource Hooks" option and make theming-related modules work.
I have a hunch that one of the main reasons why Xposed does not work on stock EMUI (aside from the theming conflict) is because SELinux is set to "Enforcing" by default. On Kang VIP its set to "Permissive".
thank you for the help blitzkriegger. i was running cm11 until last week. the reason i upgraded was due to wanting to try kangvip but after flashing it feel right so i flashed the emui rom and have stayed with it since. i really hope that a stock android rom will be released. i really hate emui.
im going to be sticking with the stock emui rom so, with that in mind how do i get xposed to work successfully? according to your posting. i just used titanium backup and freeze the themes app, set selinux to permissive, disables hooks and done right? is the buildprop stuff really needed?

[MAGISK] Andromeda Enabler - Enable Andromeda ON DEVICE With a Command!

Hello, folks! I've written a Magisk Module which includes a modified version of the Linux activation script for Andromeda, allowing you to enable Andromeda with a single command (two, if you count su)! I was inspired by the OTHER local Andromeda enabler script here on XDA, as I had downloaded it but discovered that it only worked intermittently on my device. Now, I know, you may be thinking to yourself "OP, is there something wrong with you? Andromeda exists so you DON'T have to be rooted!" Yes, this is true. However, from what I've gathered, there is a speed boost from using Andromeda, and that alone makes this worth it for me, and hopefully others. Plus, I was bored and wanted to see if I could make it work.
This module is written to work with Magisk v15. It will NOT work on Magisk v14, however, it is a single binary, so you could very easily extract it and place it on your phone or make a v14 module yourself.
To activate Andromeda, all you have to do is install this module, reboot, launch a Terminal Emulator, and type:
Code:
su
andromeda
Substratum should launch with Andromeda permissions, as if you'd used the Desktop Application.
@saccentekennedy has made an app! Flash the module, install his app, and when you launch his app, it will grant Andromeda permissions! No commands needed! Be sure to thank his post!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...ndromeda-enabler-enable-t3728325/post75053802
UPDATE 1/12/2018 - The script did not properly set SELinux back to Enforcing, this is now fixed. Please update! Thanks to @Floydfire for the heads up
Works perfectly!
I've created a Tasker task to run this... But I can't figure out how to trigger it. In other words, how can I get Tasker to detect that the Andromeda isn't properly running and connected? I know I get a notification when the service goes down. I suppose I could use this as a trigger? Any thoughts?

You could potentially use AutoNotifications with Tasker to detect the notification but I'd probably just set the trigger to the device booting or being unlocked, or make a widget with an app, like SManager, so you can just tap it.
I created a little app with Tasker. It works. I've used Tasker plenty but never created an app. Anyway, I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but this works for me at least
You need the Magisk module installed, BTW.

Works fine for me. I'm gonna link this in the OP, if that's okay with you. What's the code that went into it? Just executes 'andromeda' when you launch it?

Yup! My first app. Lol.
So congrats this is very interesting!
I'm curious, though.. I'm rooted and I've got substratum and magisk 15.x installed (current version). I purchased and installed Andromeda. I downloaded and installed y'alls zip and the apk. Is there a way to check that it's working properly? What I do have is the module in magisk is enabled but the actual Andromeda app keeps closing when I tap it (wasn't sure if it was even supposed to be opened or if it was a background app)

When you launch it, Andromeda mode should be activated and you can just launch Substratum. You can check if Andromeda mode is on by checking under the Substratum settings. Under System Certification it should say Andromeda mode (Certified). Substratum should also launch after you launch the Andromeda app included here

Ah well sadly it's not activating for me....

Have you tried running the commands in the terminal? It might be that the app just isn't working for you for some reason
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
Yes the terminal emulator works. I was just hoping the app would work to survive a reboot (which I do frequently) I'm just lazy!

Do you own Tasker? If you do, I actually made a profile to enable Andromeda whenever I launch Substratum, and I'll upload it if anyone is interested. I don't know how to make an application-triggered task into an app, though.

I have noticed that I can't seem to use this module alongside anything else that also adds to /system/xbin (specifically "Busybox for Android NDK" by osm0sis). Only one seems to stick. I don't know if that's just a side effect of the way magisk works or an issue with one of the scripts. Could anyone provide any insight into this issue?

I honestly have no idea. It might just be a quirk of the Pixels or something. I have no idea how to fix it. I'll look into it a little to see if something obvious is happening and I'm missing it, but no problems. Can you share your Magisk Log?

Ran this script. Rebooted. My navbar disappeared and all icons went square with no option to change icons back to circle. Pixel 2. Magisk with factory Jan. 8.1. I'm not sure what could have caused this. I had to edit my build.prop to get the softkeys back. I guess no more OTAs for me. Anyone know how to get circle icons back?

I don't know what would have caused this issue, this script only enables Andromeda, nothing more. Did you do anything in Substratum before rebooting?

GravityBox Beta for Oreo Released

I installed it last night on Beta 3. Everything's good so far. I haven't made a lot of tweaks, but the ones I've made work, and I haven't had any problems with force-closes or anything.

What version of xposed are you using? I'm having issues getting it up and running.
Thanks in advance!
I'm running version 90.1-beta3 systemless for SDK 26 installed from Magisk.
Same but no app icon appears. . Any recommendations?
Can you launch it from within the Xposed installer?
Xposed shows as installed within magisk but no icon for Xposed.
I think you also need to install the Xposed Installer. At least I did. It'll provide you with the UI to install and manage modules. I installed it from the link below. Just pick the one that matches the version you installed in Magisk.

You installed the wrong Xposed to get the installer...
Go to the Xposed thread and download the installer...
Make sure it's the one topjonwu modified... And reboot...
