I have been having a persisting force close issue that I initially thought was linked to Greenify. "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped" after every call I made or received, and upon booting the phone. Trial and error have caused me to find the only thing that allows me to run Xposed without any issue is having 7 or less modules enabled. I can switch between modules. For instance, I had Xposed Torch enabled and things were fine with 7 modules. I installed Xtoast, rebooted, and instant error/FC. Repeats no matter how many times I reboot. I uninstall Xposed Torch, which was just working perfectly fine, and leave XToast installed. Reboot and no error. Rebooted over and over to ensure, no error. Switched a few modules around to ensure, and it seems to not matter what modules I have installed. I have no issues whatsoever running Xposed as long as I only have seven modules installed, but if I go to install an 8th, no matter what it is, I immediately get Context Service force closes. I have not found anything on here about a definitive amount of modules you can install, so I can only hope someone has a clue what could be going on. Normally I'd look to the Logcat, but it doesn't seem to be a specific module causing this. I'd really appreciate any help any of you might have. Xposed has a lot more to offer for me than you can cram in seven modules.
Logcat? The Xposed log may not show you anything but an unfiltered logcat will.

You mean the full logcat I create through adb? If so, do i need to produce the issue while the phone is one and then take the logcat? Phone has been rebooted since the last time i got the FC, just don't want to waste time learning to upload and uploading a logcat now while phone is working if I need to re-create the problem first in order for it to be useful. Definitely will take the time to upload a logcat because I would really like to fix this issue, I just wanna make sure I do it correctly.

Enable 7+ modules so that the issue will be reproduced on next boot.
Reboot and start the logcat while the device is booting.
Wait till you see the FC and stop the logcat.
Upload the logcat.
Thanks for your reply. I just figured out the problem, thankfully.. I was preparing to do what you said, and I for some reason thought to reinstall Busybox before installing an eighth module and rebooting. My Busybox install must have been faulty. After reinstalling it said I had just reinstalled the same version as previously installed, but now I am back to nine modules and no problems.
scratch that, problem keeps getting weirder. Installed Wanam Xposed again and the issue came right back, uninstalled and the issue came back until I went back down to 7 modules and now no issue. I'm so confused..

Honestly can't say anything without a logcat, please grab one.
You should also be able to use an app to do it (e.g. CatLog) since your device is booting. Just start the app as soon as your device boots.

FC is not currently happening, but I just downloaded Catlog and I am still getting a lot of errors in my logcat.. makes me curious as to whether my issue can be pinpointed without messing things up yet again. I attached my logcat filtered for "error", if you are able to discern anything from it, please do let me know what you find. If not I'll be sure to load Catlog at boot and grab one if the error does occur again. Thank you for recommending Catlog, by the way, SO much easier for a new guy like me than terminal emulator/ADB.
Edit: I see you mentioned an unfiltered logcat earlier, but honestly I do not know what I am doing with logcats at all, and as the error is not occuring right now I thought it might be a little unnecessary to look through a million lines of text.. I figure this is short enough that if something sticks out I can fix it, if not I can run Catlog again if the problem persists.
F/C All devices
All of my androids device using Xpose are force closing, well apps that are associated with it. Only fix I could find is older download..it seems the update had issues..

I'm asking for an unfiltered logcat because not all useful lines will contain "error". Filtering for " AndroidRuntime" is usually enough, but it's safer to just upload the whole thing.
Anyway, please upload one when you can reproduce the issue. I see some errors related to secure storage in your log but I don't think that's related to anything.

Well, if it is a problem with the framework, it won't be fixed unless you help out by posting a logcat.

problem came back again for no reason, only 6 mods enabled and all have been stable for days... restart phone because i was getting a crazy mms wakelock in bbs. here's the logcat with the "unfortunately, context service has stopped" both from just automatically happening and i triggered it by having my girlfriend call me. i then disabled xposed, restarted and no problems, so i took a logcat of that to show how my phone runs normally in case you need it. let me know if you do and i will upload that as well.. if you can find anything in here i will greatly appreciate it. i can't even use xposed at this point, i'm worried i'm either damaging my phone or possibly missing calls/texts/notifications. thanks for your time in advance.
It's an ANR (Application Not Responding) error, so I'm guessing your phone kinda hangs for a bit before showing you the dialog?
It doesn't seem to be related to Xposed at all, though. It's Samsung's "Context service" (com.samsung.android.providers.context), so I'd personally try checking for a system update before anything else. You're likely to get more help in the S5 section (since the problem isn't related to Xposed), through it looks like no one else has this problem.
It hangs for a second, but those errors don't stop things I can see, just errors. I have to admit, I don't quite understand, if it's not related to Xposed, why would it only happen with certain modules enabled? That's why I assumed it was xpoaed related to begin with. Do I need to Odin back to stock? I don't want to damage my phone but I don't know anything about that error or if it could he damaging.. Sorry for the text wall. Thanks for being so helpful.

Coincidence, I'd say. You'd probably get the same thing without Xposed, but as you've noticed it seems to happen semi-randomly, so chances are you weren't "lucky" enough.

If you're using a custom ROM, you could also report this problem to the ROM dev with the logcat and ask him if his base is up to date or if there's anything he can do about it.

It's mostly just annoying, there should be no permanent damage of any kind.

could it be related to s health? i know this isn't the s5 forum, but i see under app info on s health there is a "com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY".. i have heard people talk about having issues with s health and xposed. could that permission be the context service error i am getting, based on what you have seen in my logcat?

I didn't see anything related to S Health, but it might've related to the secure storage (though I'm not sure if that's a stock Samsung thing or if it's activated by the user).
Of course it depend on the hack the module trying inject to the apps, but how its impact on performance if I change nothing of the code, just implement an exactly same method by XPosed module in theory?
yup...xposed kinda slows down my nexus 4 and my note 10.1 too much...
I have a Moto G and Xposed does not slowdown my phone not one bit.

Xposed slows your phone down an immeasurable amount...
The modules however... Can slow your phone to a crawl...
For me... Anything systemUI related makes my phone unusable...

Running a S5 and have not seen any slow down.
No hit in speed normally, but have when 30+ modules were active. Lol

Yes it solws down my wiko pulp fab 4g but mostly for the boot. The boot got sooooo loooong so i rather unistalled xposed and now i feel fresh i can turn down my phone or reboot fast. I regret all that time spent to customize the phone lol. But was a good experience.
After this long boot the phone speed was almost good. If you don't switch your phone off or reboot often it is okay.
My Zenfone GO ZV00D slowed down alot!
And I had only xblast tools, root cloak and mock location hide..
Several years passed, many devices changed. Xposed by itself does not affect to phone performance or battery usage at all. Maybe it because of specific module settings.
have been using it for a while now and there's nothing i love more but I just uninstalled xposed off my s7 edge on MM . was slowing down the phone a bit. had about 7 modules active. the benefits were worth the slowdown previously.
I just rooted and downloaded xposed. I've done this like 20 times now so I know it's not coincidence, but every time I install xposed, SMS sending (not receivingnevermind) is crippled. 99% of messages I try to send either hang forever or fail, every now and then one goes through (10 minutes later or something). Oddly MMS sending is not affected (receiving now seems to be). What the heck is going on‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽
sum1 plz halp?
P.S. there may or may not be a problem with screen timeouts too. I'll post about that once I get more concrete data.
EDIT:
Some clarifications. No modules, nada. The ONLY variable is whether or not xposed is installed.

I can confirm that for the t-mobile variant n915t this is also an issue. For me causes eras with the settings on the edge menu, in addition to many laggy installations and random errors everywhere. I'm not using xposed until this gets resolved. I installed last stable but I am Not sure if the unreleased most recent one might be better compatible but I'm not interested in trying till someone confirms there is a working version because I am tired of playing with my phone like this I want to enjoy it lol
Eras=errors

YES! YES! I never thought the laggy installs were related too! I didn't even get around to testing that because the SMS issue was frustrating me so much. The experimental version of xposed installer doesn't fix anything. I've just stuck my SIM in my note 3 for now until a fix is released.
Interesting thing. The guy on this thread has the same issue on as s5, but he says a kernel update fixed it . . .

ugh. well I guess whatever works. I was rather dependent on greenify's xposed features and wanam. I hope someone figures out a fix soon.
try this guys
Just disable secure storage in Wanam this fixes the lag as others mentioned
Its Wanam Xposed, under "Security" tab and checkbox "Disable Secure storage" and/ or used XSecureStorage module.

So recently I have been using Netflix to watch shows on my phone, and maybe after around 15-20 minutes into a show, the phone will freeze up. A small percentage of the time it will unfreeze and I can go to homescreen, but otherwise I would have to do a hard reboot.
It was a crazy guess, but when I disable all Xposed Mods, Netflix would work without a problem.
I tried going through each of my modules to figure out the problem one, but it would literally take hours....
If I took the Xposed Log from the framework would that potentially tell me which module is causing the error even after the reboot? or how would i go about this?
If I can provide logs would anyone be able to see quickly which mod causes the crash?
Thanks.
Anyone tried exposed mods now that we have root?
Xposed framework is not available for 5.1 yet, there is a beta version that I tried to install but gave me boot loops,.
I just want a way to separate the ringer and notification volume like on my G3. Hate using the built in no interruption thing cause it keeps numbers not in my contacts from ringing. What if my daughter calls from a different number cause her phone battery died and it's an emergency? Missed a call from dispatch last week cause his number was changed at work and I didn't have the new one.

I just tried with the sdk68arm64. It gets to the T-Mobile boot screen but just sits there endlessly. The led light flash the normal blue and green, when booting correctly, but nothing after 10 minutes. used the uninstaller to remove it.
when I tried the sdk68arm, it errors on install...expected.
I want my xPosed...planned to try G3Tweaksbox on it
It's a known issue with Xposed on the G4; something to do with having a 64-bit architecture yet having some 32-bit zygote processes IIRC.
