[Q] Anyone else experience this? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been rebooting my Nexus 5 when using Xposed Framework modules and for every perfect reboot I get a bootloop. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's frustrating that my Stock Rooted with Xposed Framework setup would cause bootloops and every time a bootloop occurs it eats up a lot of battery and makes the phone uncomfortably warm.

do you have art selected?

I have the same setup as you.....xposed never sent my device into boot loop. As the poster above me stated, are you using art or dalvik? I believe xposed does not work with art. Also, could using a module within xposed that is not developed for 4.4+ cause such misbehavior?

I have had this problem.. I don't know how to fix it.. I just restore a backup and try it again.. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't

I use Xposed on all my devices, I've never had so much as a stutter from it, let alone a bootloop. You've got something else going on. As others pointed out, if you are using ART runtime, Xposed isn't compatible.

Yeah it's not that, I don't have ART enabled and on top of that enabling ART while Xposed is installed automatically sends you back into the OS and cancels the request for ART as a part of Xposed Framework, so I couldn't have enabled it anyway.

I wasn't inferring that ART was the only possible cause, just the most common. What modules are you trying to use?

GravityBox and Greenify. Nothing that should be causing this.

If you disable both mods do you still get boot loops? And are you using the version of GB that's meant for kitkat?

Still getting boot loops with both mods disabled, even went as far as to uninstall Xposed Framework to see if it would happen. I rebooted 10 times and it boot looped 3 times out of those 10.
Yes, using GravityBox for KitKat.

Can't switch to ART

For some reason I can't switch to ART. When I select that in developers options, it prompts to reboot but afterwards when I check it is still on dalivk. Any idea? Running purity rom with Franco kernel.
Check the purity rom and franko kernel to see if it supports art
Do you haze xposed installed

Franco works fine. You'll have xposed installed so it'll just reboot back to Dvalik

I had this issue this afternoon. Couldn't figure out why ART wouldn't activate until I searched.
Uninstall xposed, select ART, then reboot, and then when all of the apps have been refreshed upon boot up, reinstall Xposed.

I just checked again. Didn't notice that it switched back to Dalvik.
Xposed will probably never work with ART

A handy hint I have just discovered... Uninstall Xposed from within the framework first, THEN remove it from your phone... Apparently Xposed leaves "things" behind :/

Hi,
Yes you need to uninstall from Xposed framework to restore the original "app_process" file and reboot..., then nothing is left on your phone.

[Q] Dalvik to ART ?

Tried to switch from dalvik to ART but on reboot it doesn't seem to stick. I go back into dev options and it still says dalvik. I'm on the original soak test, which shouldn't matter, but I'm curious if anyway else switch to ART and got it to stick. Thanks.
I've heard that happens if you're using xposed

I'll have to see if that works. Any idea if I can uninstall xposed switch to ART then reinstall xposed or do I have to choose to keep one or the other?
Should be able to. Don't mess with your modules, just install the framework in the app itself, reboot, and try it then.

Xposed doesn't work with ART (yet). The Xposed developer purposely has your runtime switch back to Dalvik upon reboot to keep you from going into a bootloop with ART.

Okay, thanks.
I have this same problem. I uninstalled Xposed, but it still switches back to Dalvik. Is there another app that can automatically switch to Dalvik, or did Xposed leave something behind?
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. It does leave stuff behind, it came to me that I had to hit an INSTALL button to install the framework, so i had to reinstall Xposed and hit an Uninstall button to uninstall the framework.
After i've changed runtime to ART every start up of phone is accompanied by error message: Google Play services has stopped.
I've wiped Play data but it didn't help.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

This is a known issue with google play services. There is an update in the works, and an APK is floating around that will resolve this, although the error only occurs on boot, and does not cause any negative effects beyond the single error message.

I've seen already 2 or 3 updates for Google Services, but my is still the same. May be this error occurs when it can't be updated?

I have a rooted nexus 5 running CM11. I kept getting this message before and I didn't know why so I posted here and someone told me to wipe my data so I did. That fixed the problem for about 2 weeks but it's back again. It happens so frequently now its very frustrating. It happens when I open an app, update an app or uninstall an app. Not every time but most frequently when updating. Why is this happening?! Please help and thanks in advance!
Just reflash your ROM or flash a different ROM and your problem should be fixed

Do you use Xposed or any theme mods? Probably something like that causing it.
As spinninbsod said, just dirty flash your ROM again or clean flash a new one.

Cool, just make sure none of the mods are trying to do the same thing, like change battery icon etc.
If you're reflashing ROM it also might be worth taking a fresh back up before reactivating Xposed, just to save reflashing if something ***** up again

Ok that's a good start. Can you remember what you were using it to do? There's probably a similar settings in XGEL or Gravity Box.

As soon as I open xblast I get the error. I just uninstalled it and I'm trying gravity box now to see if it was just xblast. And what do you mean what I was using?

You can change all that stuff in GravityBox and XGEL so might be best to just use those instead
Due to an update of an Xposed module, I had badly corrupted my systemui. The phone was totally unusable, and I could only press the OK button notifying the stopped event at startup.
Lucky me, I still had not updated to 4.4.3. Via Skipsoft Android Toolkit I updated to the last Android release, and my systemui got fixed. I did not choose to perform a complete wipe, so I actually maintained my previous apps. In relation to root, I did not loose it, but I had to reinstall SuperSU to get the non-official apps working again.
I hope this helps somebody else in my same condition, with no need to do a system wipe!
thank you. this helped me today.
woke up with the error. assuming its gravitybox and xblast causing an issue. will remove xblast.

Xposed does not actually "touch" or change SystemUI in any way. Xposed puts a couple of "files" in system which allows intercepted commands to be changed, without changing the actual code.
When you updated the ROM via a toolkit (PLEASE don't use toolkits by the way) you would have overwritten these Xposed files.
The simplest fix is to just remove the Xposed files

Reboots after changing wallpaper

Hi, I am running Franco kernel #53, Carbon rom 4.4.3, Xposed framework and Greenify. After I install the kernel, it immediately breaks 5 of my apps, and I have to reboot and reinstall them, but that is a tiny problem. The more annoying one is every time I change my wallpaper the device soft reboots.I have tested and found that it hasn't anything to do with the undervolting. This wasnt happening with the stock kernel.
Suggestions?
I've heard wallpapers getting changed after a reboot, but it's the first time I'm seeing a device getting rebooted after changing the wallpaper
Backup Xposed and remove it, restart your phone and then try changing the wallpaper?? May be one of the modules is conflicting with it??

Nope, Xposed isn't the problem either. As soon as I install franco's kernel the reboots occur. Maybe the rom has changed something and became incompatible..... maybe I should just wait for the next kernel version.
Alright, did a clean install and everything is fine.

This doesn't quite answer your question but should read through this thread if you have not: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713879
Seems others are having the same issue as you. Since ART is still experimental on the S5 it causes screen wake up issues, boot issues, some apps to not work, and Samsung has said to use with caution because TW framework is not fully compatible yet.
Do you all think if I were to backup everything and : 1)factory reset 2)switch to art and then 3)root
Would that work?

Problem solved.. Here is what I did for future reference
1)Odined back to stock, then took it the otas to get to stock uprooted NE5
2)Switched to ART, no issue rebooted and was running art
3)Titanium backup was not working for me without being suuuper laggy, so I started to manually install all of my apps
4)Rooted my phone using towel
5)Realized that Xposed forces dalvik, and once the framework was installed it would revert to dalvik... Uninstalled framework and removed xposed
5)turned ART back on and have had no issue.... It definitely was due to xposed because that is the only app that I Uninstalled and have had no issues since

I don't have Xposed installed either, and still can't turn ART on. When the reboot finishes and I go to the Configuration, it says that DALVIK still on. Any solution?

I think, for whatever reason, ART is disabled in TouchWiz.
