(Q) Exposed Installer. - LG G Stylo Questions & Answers

I read that Exposed Installer has been updated. Does anyone know if it would work with the 5.1.1 Update that Tmo and Metro Stylo got?

Only way to find out is to try. I'll be backing up and trying in a bit.

well it said it installed in twrp, but when i rebooted, it stayed on the lg screen for longer than usual...then it finally went to the metro screen but it just stayed there for a long time so i panicked and pulled the battery.
i was able to restore my backup and i thought i read somewhere that i may need busybox installed...even though i thought busybox got installed when i did the one click root, i went ahead and installed it from the playstore to try again.
again it said it installed in twrp, this time i let it stay on the metro screen even longer but it seemed like it was stuck so i restored a backup...do you think i just need to wait longer? also do i really need busybox installed?
im tempted to restore my 5.02 backup and see what happens if i try to install the 5.0 version...

BusyBox is needed so that some things that require root work correctly like Viper4Android, but it's not needed for everything

I had the same problem with it staying on the carrier screen for 30 minutes before I gave up. Seems it just won't work as it currently stands.

found these instructions in Italian on how to install without recovery pasting them in English (rough google translation):
ith this tutorial we see how to install Xposed Framework on a phone with Android
Lollipop without recovery!
Cost:
Root
Busybox installed on the device (and also installed files busybox, just open the app)
Terminal Emulator installed on the device
Package XposedLollipop taken from this video.
1- Download the package by pressing the link
2- Unzip
3- Put the contents of the root (in the main memory of the phone,
no subfolders) of the device.
4- Install Xposed (the apk is among the file you just put into the device) BUT do not open it
5- Open the terminal emulator and type "su" after which you type: sh / sdcard / installer
and press enter.
6- 1 and press enter.
7- Wait for the procedure, after restart and you Xposed properly installed
PS: procedure performed perfectly on MEIZU MX4 which as you know does not have recovery mod, works on all phones MA may be different from the path where installed so placed in the root of the file and make sure that it's called "sdcard", should have a other name you have to use that! eg sh / card / installer
link to the video with his links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDInZYNrEr8 if this does work then us Boost User's can enjoy it too , but i have no idea if it does work

and if it doesnt work? i wouldnt try anything fancy without having twrp to restore a backup (or at least a kdz)...are you gonna try that method?

AdAway - what am I missing?

Evening. I had previous installed WeakSauce and SuperSU on my Verizon HTC One M8.
today, I applied S-off, and flashed ClockwordMod Recovery Unofficial.
I installed Root from inside CWM.
However, I still cannot apply host files in CWM. This suggests that I don't necessarily have full root, so perhaps I missed a vital step somewhere.
Little help? That's all i want is proper ad blocking. otherwise, this phone runs just fine with Nova Launcher
thanks,
I always throw my Awaway apk into system/app. Not sure if that actually does anything, but it seems to apply more often than not. I've always had issues with adaway sometimes not applying, so you are not alone.

Unfortunately, while booted into Android, the stock kernal prevents system partition write access. You'll need to disable it.
EDIT: I stand corrected.

This. The modified kernel it's being worked on still but I believe it can be found in development

Clarification
MultiDev, if I am understanding, you mean just disable AdAway because it wont work yet until a custom kernel or kernel mod is installed?

download and flash this in recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/
then open it so it can update (use recovery method when asked to update)
then run adaway
Got it

Thanks, it successfully applied after that. Apparently I missed step one in some previous instructions where it said to flash the SuperSU binary.
Last question. I assume at this point, I can uninstall WeakSauce since we have permanent proper root?
I gotta say, this was pretty easy in Linux Mint 16....

S-Off'd and rooted through flashable zip. Installed adaway as a system app, and it's running fine here. Nothing else changed or added.

I also have s-off, uninstalled weak sauce, then flashed through CWM supersu.zip for full root, reboot. Downloaded latest AdAway apk found here on xda forum. I then ran apk file from my download folder, hit install. Open AdAway, click on Download fiels and apply add blocking. Now it just gets stuck on Applying... with the circle going around and around for over 15 minutes straight now! Yes i gave root access when asked. Is this normal?
Nevermind. Closed app, then reopened and it did the download thing like normal. Now says successful and applied hosts sources: 4/4.
So i'm good to go now? Does this need reboot like prompted?

You don't NEED to, but it is recommended.

This is the one app causing me problems. Adfree works problem free, but AdAway likes to keep getting stuck on "Applying...". I've got it to succeed once or twice by force closing and re-trying, but it's not reliable. I'm S-off, CWM recovery, SuperSU, and the modded kernel with RW permissions. What gives? :?
EDIT: Even tried installing Adaway as system app, problem still persists...???
EDIT2: Finally got it working. Noticed in the OP in the xda thread that there is a modded version to fix problem. All good

Thank you
I had to install the unsecure boot image in order for AdAway to work properly. Otherwise it just hangs on applying host files.
From what I understand, just because you're s-off still doesn't mean you have full write access. The stock kernel has the write protection modules built in.
Flashing the unsecure boot image fixed all issues I was having and I'm pretty sure if you're still having problems, flashing that will help
-HTC One m8-
I'm not disputing whether or not s-off provides full write access. But, I was able to install AdAway with full functionality without installing the unsecure stock kernel. It takes a while to download all the data and install it though (maybe 5 minutes or so?). Then, I rebooted and it's working very well. No more ads!

[Q] Xposed keeps crashing. Where am I going wrong?

[Solved]
I'm trying to get xposed to work because I want to change the [email protected]@[email protected]!% volume increments! My music is exactly inbetween two increments. I tried to edit the framework.jar in /system/framework and edit ...\framework\android\media\AudioService.smali but no dice.
Eventually I found that there is an xposed module I can use. Sadly, after installing both the latest and experimental versions of the apk, both still crash when I try to open it. What am I doing wrong?! I'm at my end here...nothing I do seems to be working.

930A ATT S7 Snapdragon Xposed framework

Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!

The one for the version of Xposed you flashed I would think, I haven't flashed it on my S7, best to ask in the Xposed main thread

Xposed?

Has anyone attempted to install xposed on the honor 8?
Yes, works. Arm64.
I can confirm, XPosed can be installed...
Albeit it seems to have a "small" bug - for me the dialer did stop working when xposed was installed (could not make any call)
V86 ARM64 xposed by rovio...
will need to investigate further.
Can anyone confirm/deny/did find a workaround?
I have xposed and dialer is working fine. Maybe it's some particular mod you've installed.
I tried installing xposed from this link http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/ but I'm always getting a bootloop. Did you use another zip file?

For me, xposed did work using magisk + systemless xposed (material xposed intaller + v86.5); as well as using v86 - i think the version you posted.
I could revert my previous dialer problem by rebooting several times till all files have been treated by xposed as they should have been...

I confirm the 'Dialer' bug you're facing. I have faced the same bug on all of the Honor devices I have owned. Whenever I hit the 'Call' button, the app crashes. A simple reboot does fixes the problem but it soon re-appears. No fix for it though.

About magisk,
you have to unroot your device from SuperSU. After that flash the stock boot image if available (unrooting from SuperSU usually suffices but if it doesn't works, it better to flash stock boot image)
About Xposed dialer bug (on EMUI only), yes as far as I know, I never experienced any crashes while accepting calls.

i feel extremely stupid here. i'm reading on the magisk thread and i don't understand at all.
i got a honor 8 (FRD-L09) and i've rooted it, like i mentioned earlier.
can you please help me with the steps i need to take to unroot and whatever else i need to do to flash magisk?
i can't find stock rom for my FRD-L09, so what do you suggest? just doing a full factory reset, flashing twrp, flashing magisk, rooting, restoring to the backup i create before doing the factory reset.
what do you think about those steps and in that order? if you think i need to change something or add another step please let me know.
not sure if that's enough to unroot the device, i'm also really uncertain about the correct magisk version/file i need to flash for my device. other xposed versions have different files for arm, arm64 and x86, but here there's only one file. am i missing something or does this work on all versions? or have i misunderstood how it works?
sorry about throwing so many questions at you but i'm really confused about this.

not sure if that's enough to unroot the device, i'm also really uncertain about the correct magisk version/file i need to flash for my device. other xposed versions have different files for arm, arm64 and x86, but here there's only one file. am i missing something or does this work on all versions? or have i misunderstood how it works?
sorry about throwing so many questions at you but i'm really confused about this.

Take a complete backup just in case.
Perform a full unroot via SuperSU (find it in Settings). It will restore the modded files with the original ones hence reverting your boot image to the stock one.
Perform a full Factory reset. (remember to backup crucial data before attempting it)
Download B101 FRD-L09 stock ROM from here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=dload-honor-8-frdl09-frd-b101.zip
Extract the downloaded zip. There will be two folders, 'Part 1' and Part 2'. On your external SD card, create a folder 'dload'. Copy 'Update.APP' from 'Part 1' to the dload folder in your SD card. Power down the device. Hold Power Button + Volume Up + Volume Down buttons until you see the Honor logo. Your device will now automatically start installing the complete stock ROM. If in case your device boots to TWRP, then follow the below steps:
Download Huawei Update Extractor from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract RECOVERY from the Update.APP inside 'Part 1'.
Use 'fastboot' to flash the stock recovery.
Now try installing the Update.APP. This time it will work. Repeat the steps for Update.APP inside 'Part 2'
You're now on fresh stock ROM.
Download magisk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19960&task=get and flash it via TWRP.

thnx. i followed your steps, with a few added ones. i didn't realize that my bootloader would lock up again after flashing stock so i had to unlock it and reflash twrp.
i did wonder about the root since all phones have different root versions and he's offering a one for all version, but i flashed it and i now got working root.
still not done tho, still got to install the magisk manager and xposed
but thank you so much for you help, really felt like i was fumbling in the dark there for a moment before asking you lol
EDIT:
that it let's you turn the root on and off with a switch is ingenious. but what does it mean that google pay is not working while root is on?

Yes, while the root is on, all applications that include the 'SafetyNet' check will refuse to work (such as Android Pay, Pokemon Go). When you switch it off, everything will start to work again.

Not a perfect solution but try Flat Style Indicators.

There is a rule to check if modules will work flawlessly on your device or not. It's simple. All modules that were designed keeping AOSP in mind will not work. EMUI is a completely different iteration if Android and hence many of the options in Gravity Box will not work on EMUI.

Alcatel OneTouch Flint TWRP

So i was finally able to install TWRP after rooting using this guide from @Casey Campanile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/alcatel-onetouch-flint-root-t3440088
**You must have ROOT first**
So it is actually pretty simple,
*Download the file i uploaded
*Unzip the TWRP file
*Download FlashFire
Now I did have OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and BusyBox installed when I did this, not sure if it makes a difference.
*Make sure BusyBox is up to date
1. I suggest doing a backup
2. Flash the TWRP file that you unzipped as Firmware Package
3. Done
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WIPE DEVICE THROUGH THE OPTION IN SETTINGS!!!
P.S. all this is done at your own risk. im not responsible for any bricked devices.
Thanks for the edit suggestions @Casey Campanile

I can't believe no one has thanked you or at least said good going on this.I've had my Flint for about 6 months and used it as a backup mostly.I was sitting at work tonight waiting on the boss and I decided to look up and see if anyone had did anything with the Flint yet.I was floored when I came across your post. Everything is working great with TWRP but if I let it timeout and screen go dark it won't allow me to swipe to unlock.Not a big deal to me but I wanted to report it to you since no one else seems to be commenting on this.I appreciate your hard work and taking the time to do it. Great job!!! ? ??

I've got an issue with TWRP I can't seem to find anything on.Wanted to see if you could help me figure it out.Initially after installing all was well.Made a backup and rebooted.Today,a month later I wanted to do a factory reset and Initially tried via settings/backup/device reset.It just rebooted back to home screen.I then rebooted into TWRP and tried via wipe but nothing will mount.My SD card won't even mount and everything shows all 0's.Any ideas?I'm not a noob by any means but I can't figure this one out.

Hmm, that's seems weird haven't experienced that before. I haven't tried to do a full swipe yet on this phone. Did it complete the wipe?

No it didn't.I couldn't get anything to mount in recovery to complete a wipe.I think perhaps that we should do a warning about trying to wipe from backup/reset in settings.At least until we figure this out.I was finally able to do a reset via Flash fire but nothing will mount in recovery still.

That sounds like a good idea only thing I would try is to try and restore the backup you did and try and reflash TWRP see if that does anything I have yet to try and reset this phone considering its my daily phone currently my lg g3 suffered the fading screen and I couldn't get it fixed

I highly recommend the Honor 5x if youre budget inclined and the Mate 8 if you have a few extra $$.I had the 5x and it actually is a damn nice device.I beat the Nexus 6 in Antutu scores with it.

That's pretty impressive I'm gonna look into that one, one thought just crossed my mind you try flashing your recovery through the fastboot commands on the bootloader?
I tried reflashing every way possible.Still nothing will mount.I think you may want to add a warning to the OP not to try and factory reset via settings.Maybe we can figure it out.
I added it to the OP. Something that might help is when I was digging thru this phone I found out it's the same as the Alcatel pop 3 5.5 looks like they just renamed it
OMG, this has been great. Im all rooted and TWRPd with my Flint now. It is a great feeling, but Im not sure what to do next Are there any benefits to this now? I can't find any custom roms for it...is there a way to get something newer than Android 5.1.1 installed?

No custom ROMs rn but u can install Xposed for lollipop and u can remove bloatware with titanium backup
Cool, so, I'm not clear what Xposed gives me though. Is it worth it?
Hey Xposed has different modules you can install, my favorite are YouTube background play and YouTube ad blocker but they have various ones, just take a look on the downloads section in xposed

Wow, my day is complete. This is great. Going to install soon. Ive been looking for a YouTube ad blocker! :good:
Just wanted to follow up again and say thanks for pointing me to this. I've got the framework installed and now im going through the modules, picking what looks good to me. This is pretty much all I needed I dont care if we never get a custom rom at this point.
Your welcome, there's a lot of modules, I would say just be careful which ones you install and use. Ive had some that gave me problems
CyanogenMod a possibility?
