I was having an issue on my Note 3 with Gravity Box, I selected it to override my default buttons but then lost the ability to open my MW tray. At the time I didn't realize GB was causing it and I wanted to have my settings to go back to default, my ROM dev recommended a dirty flash. My MW issue has been resolved but now Xposed seems like it doesn't have full root access. Root works for everything else, and a lot of Xposed features are working, but certain things (write to SD, GB's Smart Radio, GB's Status Bar icon color change to name a few) won't work/changes don't stick. The GB options are greyed out even after clicking On. I've tried uninstalling SuperSU updated and reinstalling, and fully uninstalling/reinstalling Xposed but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm running Slim ICS 4.2, with semaphore kernel.
I tried installing the 4.2 JB camera, and the photosphere didn't work. Before trying to flash the file, I did a nand backup.
Since the camera didn't work, I just restored my backup.
But now for some reason gtalk disappeared from my phone. The icon is on the home screen, but when I click it, a warning appears saying "App isn't installed".
In the app drawer, the app doesn't appear, neither in the "Apps" menu in the settings.
I've tried several things now, the most extreme of which was factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format /system + reinstall slim ics 4.2. Even with a fresh install, Talk wouldn't appear anywhere.
There is a "Talk.apk" in /system/app (and I didn't put it there manually). Tried installing it and it obviously doesn't let me (with the default android apk installer, I don't know if there are others out there).
Another thing I've noticed was that the chrome icon I had on the home screen changed to a little android figure (could be from semaphore). Other than that, everything seems pretty much normal.
I use gtalk a lot, so I really need this working. I don't know what else to do.
Just found out a couple more things:
- Apparently the weird icon on Chrome also happened on my girlfriend's ICS tablet, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
- Found this link: h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones (I can't post links, so you have to copy/paste)
When I do ls on /system/apps, there is a "Talk.apk" there. However, when I tried removing it, it returned "No such file or directory". (screenshot attached)
Also, when I do "pm list packages", the talk package isn't there (com.google.android.talk)
After that I tried deleting "Talk.apk" through OI File Manager (the default file manager of slim) and it just fails.
Hi,
Just got back to my desk after lunch to find my Nexus 5 looking very "normal"
Google search bar is back
Homescreen dots are back
I have huge icons again (despite build.prop changed to 360)
Hidden apps have reappeared
Wallpaper scrolls again
etc, etc
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the framework, wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and also tried downloadind the modules I use again (mainly GravityBox, XGEL settings and Hide Apps), but no luck.
It's been weeks since I've changed anything on my phone (since 23/04 Purity build), so I can only conclude it has something to do with Xposed or one of the modules.
Any idea what the problem might be before I resort to Nandoird or reflashing the ROM?
Xposed log file attached.
Cheers
Lee
EDIT: Reflashing ROM hasn't helped
SUCCESS! :laugh:
Turned out that the latest Google Search update had killed XGEL Settings.
So you can either get XGEL 1.6 Beta Build 2, or roll back Google Search to factory version.
I just rolled back Search for now as I still need to check if any other modules are affected (Hide Apps Xposed for example).
Hope this saves someone a headache!

I inadvertently installed the Experimental framework and downloaded all the modules I wanted. Now I'm having random Xposed forced-closes (although, I get the message, but nothing really seems to force close - hmm!), so I thought it might be best to downgrade to stable.
I'm having quite a hard time doing this. I'd just uninstall and reinstall, but I don't want to loose all my module downloads and settings (is there a way to back these up in Xposed?). Will I need to start from scratch here?
Could you please get a logcat of the force closes? Eventually, experimental will become stable, and if I have no chance to fix this, then the same crashes will also happen in stable.
That said, I don't think Android allows to downgrade apps, except for uninstalling and reinstalling them. Even if you do that, you wouldn't lose your module downloads and settings, they are separate apps with their own data. You would just need to reenable them and check the settings of the installer. Or you use an app like Titanium Backup to backup and restore your settings.
Last night I updated three modules on my Gal.S4 running Liquidsmooth Rom. I then noticed my framework needed an update, so i did so using the typical "classical write." It completed successfully something like 54/54 packets then prompted a reboot.
When my phone rebooted, everything went wrong. The ROM appears to have reset itself to a default state (including wallpaper, default apps, and replacing my "Buzz launcher" with the previously uninstalled "Google Now."
Hangouts now reports that it requires Google Play Services, which was obviously installed correctly before the update. this is also indicated by "an application requires instalation" error notification. The Play store opens to a white page.
Interestingly all of my settings appear intact including my status-bar, Halo notifications, saved wifi, etc including custom colors.
When i view both the internal and external sd, the file structure appears intact including but not limited to, storage/emulated/0/Android/DATA. in this directory i see the "com" directories for my apps, but they appear to be missing the physical files.
Other files in Emulated/0 are still there including pictures and the other normal directories which are NOT empty. i believe this shows that it didn't wipe my /data partiton?
I have tried wiping the cache and Davlik cache since that ususally fixes basic bugs. the "optimizing apps" dialog listed something like 95 apps while my app drawer shows only 24 and i think i had over 100 last time i wiped the davlik
i do not think i did anything but update Xposed and a few of its modules
Thank you for your time
That's definitely not related to the Xposed framework. Might be some script you have installed, but it's probably best to ask in your ROM's Q&A thread or device Q&A forum.
I've been fed up with the poor battery life on Lollipop and Marshmallow, so I decided to downgrade my Z3c to KitKat. I did it "by the book," using Flashtool to downgrade (I checked both boxes to wipe everything in Flashtool), giefroot, dual recovery, etc. I installed a prerooted zip of 23.0.1.A.5.77 and then flashed RICdefeat and a mod specifically designed for 23.0.1.A.5.77 so I could have Xloud. Both the prerooted firmware and the mod are from XDA. So far so good. I had root and recovery working perfectly, and I started downloading my apps from the Play Store.
Everything looked great until I tried to access the Play store after the first reboot. The Installed Apps under the My Apps menu would not show up at all, and anything I tried to download would just hang at "download pending" and never make any progress. Furthermore I could not download anything from my browser (Chrome). And every time I tried to assign ringtones or notification sounds, Media Storage crashed. I did some searching and found that the Download Manager and Media Storage are somehow linked and seem to be the cause of this problem. Things went back to normal after I cleared the cache (or force closed if there was no clear cache option) from both of those in settings, but this does not persist after a reboot. So every time I reboot the phone, I have to go back and clear those manually, and then re-assign all of my custom sounds (ringtones, notifications, etc) due to media storage being cleared. Luckily I don't reboot all that often, but obviously this is not ideal.
I do have Xposed with a few modules (Gravitybox, Amplify, Greenify, etc.) installed, but this problem occurred before I even installed Xposed. I use Titanium Backup to freeze some of Sony's bloatware. Otherwise I'm basically stock with a locked bootloader, and I have plenty of free space on internal storage.
What is causing my download manager and media storage to keep messing things up, and is there a fix?
You mentioned that you have frozen some of the Sony's bloatware on your phone. Might have something to do with that!
About the download pending on Play Store: Play Store might be needed to be updated, so go to settings (sliding menu from Play Store) and tap on Build Version, it will say something like "Newer version will be downloaded and installed etc" IF you have an old version of the Play Store.
