I just dirty flashed from TWRP. It rebooted and ran fine. There shouldn't be anything on your old sd card that you need, unless you had some apps moved over there, then you would need the Android secure folder, or restore it from backup if you have one. If it was running before the update I doubt that this is the case. I would suspect a bad download first.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
It runs, Baldy. Just Xposed will not operate or update. Strangest error message I have ever seen with Xposed. But, I have not updated anything yet, battery is so dead that I cannot get a reliable data connection. Could be on battery saver. Nice thing about having two SIM cards is that either phone will connect if one or the other is shut off. So, going to charge the battery to full and see how it acts. I am afraid to use the turbo charger on it, using standard charger. And updating Google services and apps *should* clear up any service or app errors. Will find out after 12 hours for a good charge and let you know. Thanks! :)

I let it charge some and rebooted. Rom is installed and no issues. Xposed still will not install on the new rom, does not appear to be a rom issue. Screenshot attached. Notice the red Xposed error message. I tried to flash the uninstall zip, worked find. Reinstalled the apk, same error message. Will have to pull a recovery off the PC and try again. I dare not do this at 2:00 AM or I will be up all night with this. Will work on it and let you know. Any suggestions welcome.

The new rom is very good! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ducadim:
Same with Xposed, updated from 01.09 thru cmupdater, I thing this new security fixes...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I am glad I am not the only one. I swore I would not be up all night trying to fix this. Everything I tried failed to get Xposed up and active again. Last ditch effort is restoring an old backup, make sure Xposed is in installed and working, and then try the update one more time from Safe Strap. But, those red messages in the screenshot I posted are not very encouraging. Might have to use the new Alpha Xposed installer for Lollipop if security has tightened too much.

I don't think the Lollipop Xposed installer is a good idea because it is made for Android 5.1, but there are some tips on the page such as removing all modules prior to installing. Maybe that is the answer. :confused:

Edit:

Restored a backup and will try to flash new rom from Safe Strap one more time to see if it tanks my Xposed Framework. I forgot how bad the "Tap and wait" is. At this rate, it will be breakfast time before I get this done or give up. :mad:

Final Update for the Night:
[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] The recent update to cm-11-20151115-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip seems to have broken the Xposed Framework. See attached screenshot. At least one other person reports the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Hi,

Then the Xposed authors need to adapt their framework. There is nothing I can do, short of removing security updates.

See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-android-4-4-4-t3249895

Cheers,

Unfortunately, I upgraded to the latest build after 01:00 A.M. and after searching a lot (while my brain was shutting down) I found several threads in the Xposed section of XDA where people complain about incompatibility of Xposed with the latest 4.4.x based ROMs which include the latest Stagefright v2 security patches. I submitted my "bug" report providing a screenshot, so that the main developer of Xposed might take a look at that issue. I suggest you guys do the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Unfortunately rovo is busy making Xposed work on MM. I doubt if he will have time anytime soon to update 4.4.x, since it's now three generations behind. We'll just have to live without Xposed until he gets the time to look at it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are not kidding. The Xposed thread is growing with all sorts of devices and roms using the latest security patches, all having the same error message. Glad to know I am not alone, lest I "beat myself up" trying to fix what is not broken, i.e.: the latest rom. Thanks for the heads up, Michael! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
This method of restoring the Xposed Framework after the latest security update is not very hard to do, does indeed restore the Xframework installer, and shows no vulnerabilities in the Stagefright detector. I did this myself, it does work, so I have put the two necessary files, along with instructions, in a handy zip file that you can download to your phone with the QR code. I have used the StageFright Scanner both before and after updating and patching. Try it yourself.

The zip file contain the 2 system files from the 09/01 Official cm11 Spyder rom. Should be no difference for umts spyder but the manual CopyFilesXposed.zip contains the 2 system files plus instructions so you can pluck the 2 system files from any rom you like if you do not wish to use the enclosed files.

CopyFilesXposed_spyder.zip is a manual procedure for Razr XT912 phones & CopyFilesXposed_umts_spyder.zip for Razr XT910 phones with correct files and instructions. Status - Working

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
I've created a flashable zip for XT910 yesterday and try to flash over version 151115. But first boot need more time than usual and phone stop response for a while. So I restore to 150901-snapshot. In xposed thread there are some discuss and patch for CM11 to fix this issue. I think I'll wait to see if any normal solution.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nbishdev:
[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION]

Take a look at this.

Seems like there is a commit to Omni's gerrit which fixes the Xposed issue, although I don't know if this may have any impact on system's security.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION]

The CopyFilesXposed.zip is a manual procedure with instructions to extract two system files from the OFFICIAL 09-01-2015 rom. The files and instructions are contained in the zip. The only real difference between the XT912 and XT910 is the radio so the enclosed files should be fine. However, the instructions do show what files to copy to system and since roms are zip files, you can extract your own XT910 system files from the 09-01-2015 rom if you wish. Then boot to recovery and copy the files, reboot. Afterwards your Xposed framework will work again.

OldBaldy helped me with this issue and so far as protection goes, here is a direct quote:

Use the StageFright Scanner both before and after updating and patching. See for yourself.

Of course make a backup before doing this so you can easily restore the newest rom if you do not like it or it somehow does not work for you.

If you want more control and get to pick which source to get the system files from, the manual zip with instructions would be the way to go. If you have currently reverted back to the 09/01 rom, then you are no safer than before. Just a tip, of course do what you are comfortable with my friend. ;)

Not looking good but one can keep their fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:

Lib folder in the flashable zip is empty[emoji6] , so it can't be flashed... I have find this after error in flash process. Unfortunately, manual procedure don't work for me - bootloop. I'll try files from my XT910 01.09 build...

from XT910 or XT925 using Tapatalk
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
No kidding. Brian is really good at making flash zips so I didn't question it. But after peeking inside, no doubt, he left the lib folder empty. The zip is no good as it is. I could put the file in myself, but who knows if that will fix it.

The manual procedure does work. Not sure if the XT910 can use same files as Xt912. So if you get the 09/01 Official rom, and take the two files out of it from the manual zip, then copy them over per instructions, it will work. I did the copying in Safe Strap, Advanced, File Manager so the files would not be locked by the system.

Thanks for the report, I will remove the flash zip now. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ducadim:
Thanks for confirmation, i have redownloaded 3 times[emoji2] . As I said, i'll try with my XT910 files and report after, but little bit later, device in use now[emoji12]

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks. Don't download the flash zip, clearly Brian was asleep at the wheel when he made the file. I already wrote him on this issue and pulled the zip file down.

When ready, make sure you have the new 11/05 Unofficial rom installed and that it is working. Xposed framework, of course, will not work. Then pull the Official cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G2-umts_spyder.zip for your phone on a PC. It is a zip file so unzip it and take the libandroid_runtime.so file and the app_process from the system folder out and these are the two files you will copy per the instructions.

I am pulling the 09/01 umts_spider rom now and will yank the files you need. Then make a Copy-umts-spyder-FilesXposed.zip and post it. Really sorry about that man. I would make the flash zip myself but I have no experience with making those files and do not want to use the thread members as Guinea Pigs for my own education. :eek:

But once you have the two files and instructions on your phone (Download with the QR code) and unzip it to a new folder, call it "XposeFix" or something, you can then access it from in Safe Strap, Advanced, File Manager. Just select each file, one at a time, then Copy, and navigate to the location specified in the instructions. Repeat for the other file. Reboot and it should work. If you had issues, once file is copied, use the file manager to check permissions on the file, should be 655.

Oh, the umts_spyder rom is here, I will make the new zip for the XT910 now and post it to save you the trouble my friend. Thanks for helping out! :good:

Okay my friend, here are both zip copy files. One for XT912 Spyder and the other for XT910 UMTS_Spyder. These are the correct replacement files. Good luck! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Thank you [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] for going to the trouble of getting the XT910 ROM and getting the necessary files out. It's really good having members like you here who do more than they should for others!

::eek:FF TOPIC::

OK, so you like Nova Launcher - yes it is very good; I have used it since Jelly Bean and no matter what, it always works well.

Now, Perhaps another suggestion... I know you swear by ES File Manager, but I think you still need to try out Solid Explorer - all the features with a very neat and simple UI. You get a 14-day trial so you can try it out legitimately.

I've used it since its alpha testing days and as soon as it went stable it became a paid app (he did tell us). I immediately purchased it because it was so good.

The app has had a material overhaul, but he kept the first style on the play store and released the material version separately (same unlocker for both). So if you liked the first look of the app, you get to keep it (I have both installed). Check it out, you can do all the stuff you can on ES: Cloud storage, access your PC over the network (SMB), uncompress files, compress files, root access etc.. and it has two panels which you can swipe between (I have internal storage on left panel and SD card on right panel) - in landscape mode you can view both panels together and drag and drop files easily between the two panels.

Just thought that you might like to check this out if you haven't already. Even sherri uses it :)

I've tried mine and [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]'s zip and replace these two files in 151115 zip directly. All three tests are booted but VERY slow and may not responding. Every test started with format /system, install zips (cm11/gapps/supersu), wipe cache/dalvik-cache, then reboot and still no luck. Xposed can be installed using this workaround but some of my install apps may conflict. So I restore my backup. Same reports were reported in xposed threads so I may have to wait some official solution for this issue before I can upgrade to 151115 version. :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ducadim:
I can say that my XT910 fast on new 15.11 build (as on 01.09) with Xposed and 173 apps[emoji6]! With the assistance of Ohmster, of course[emoji12]

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
After 2 days testing of ver 151115 + xposed_fix, I can confirm that this workaround works. My previous tests failed by unknown reason and everything back to normal by these steps:

flash 151115 / GApps / SuperSU.

wipe cache/dalvik-cache and reboot.

After boot finished, reboot to recovery and flash xposed_fix zip.

Reboot to system and install xposed module.

My original steps were flash xposed_fix RIGHT after ver 151115 and I don't know if this caused the problem. But I've searched and found that there are fixes in these two files (that's why xposed can't install). Considering that only APM / Youtube AD away / Greenify I'm using with xposed. I've decided to upgrade to ver 151115 WITHOUT xposed for complete security update. BTW, I've create two FLASHABLE zip for spyder/umts_spyder xposed_fix. Just download and flash in Safestrap/TWRP.

cant install open-gapps

Weird.. i cant install newest open-gapps with latest cm11 build from stargo, it always stopped @ 25%, tried install older open-gapps i installed before on previous cm11, result's the same, stopped @25%. i open the open-gapps package, the script's the same with open-gapps ive manage to install on previous cm11.. anyone know why? is possible cos the "app_process" and the "android_runtime.so" that ive changed lile what [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] recommended? anyone know any gapps recommendation i can install similar to open-gapps? right.. sorry for my english.

[MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION]

I have the XT912 Razr and for me, the manual instructions in the zip with instructions I provided worked quite well. Credit for these instructions and procedure goes to [MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION]. Now as to why Mr. Chen had these issues, I am not sure why. All you are doing is upgrading your rom to the latest unofficial release for your phone from Michael's server here:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

Once you download and install the rom, it would just work. No gapps update necessary, you are only upgrading the rom. Once I did that, I did get some Google play errors, which did clean up after rebooting and alowing the system to update the apps and services it needs like the core Google services. It helps to visit the play store and install pending updates. Once done, you have the latest update with hardened security. To regain Xposed Framework again, it is necessary to download the zip for your phone, unzip it to a folder on your device, and do the file copying from Safe Strap, Advanced, File Manager. Reboot and your Xposed Framework will work again and allow you to tap Update/Install, reboot, done.

This is a simple procedure and I did make a second download to restore the 2 system files for the XT910 model from the 09/01 rom. Give it a try, it cannot hurt and will probably work for you.

As with any other rom modification, Make a Safe Strap backup before doing this so at least you can restore back to the newest unofficial rom to try again. The post and original manual files are here in Post #8414.

Give it a try, report back, and if it works for you, be nice and tap the Thanks button for the one who helped you. In Tapatalk, tap the post that was helpful and then tap the star or thumbs up icon to give Thanks.

Good luck and let us know how it works for you, okay? :o

I haven't used the latest CM11 ROM myself (although I have it downloaded for a rainy day) as I am running LP. But..

Maybe you'll have some luck.

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

delta gapps provide the core of gapps n other gapps separately.. too much hassle.. anything like pa-gapps/open-gapps? btw how much minimum free space needed to install open-gapps?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I tell you what, ever since there are no more pa-gapps, finding a good gapps package for the Razr has been a bit challenging. I have had good luck with these:

Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x

Android Kitkat (4.4.4)

There are links on these pages for Lollipop, obviously do not download the Lollipop pack if you are using Kit Kat, CM11.

How much space do you need? We discussed this in a Safe Strap post of recommended partition sizes. Here are a couple of posts from other members on this issue and the chart that we came up with for recommended sizes.

I hear you [MENTION=2971166]Sherri.[/MENTION] I'm there with you, out on the western side of the state.
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] I backed this project on kickstarter a while ago. Been thinking of how I can modify it, or print an adaptor that I can use on my dash to hold the phone. Stikey - A Magnetic Portable Stand & Cable tidy They finalized the molds in October, so I havent' gotten it yet.

Also, it seems like it might not be a good idea right now to update to the most recent CM11 rom if I use Xposed. Then again, in the near future I'll be getting the new phone, so it won't matter.

Happy Thanksgiving all
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
35° F today? Uh, no thanks, I will just put up with the heat. :D

Yeah I hear ya girl, if you shoot the heat out from the dashboard ducts, that could harmful alright. If not a new, really nice car, then use clear silicone caulking to stick bracket or suction cup to the dash and mount it that way. If nice, new car and you cannot do that, then get a mechanical friend to help you with this. Some bent sheet metal, velcro strips, a little matching paint and you an do wonders, if you want to.

I tell ya, once you drive around with the phone on the dash, you will always want to use it that way if possible. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Tigger,

I am a little nervous about installing strong magnets on the dashboard. They could affect the internal sensors or show inaccurate readings. Like some of the icons I don't even smell anymore. A clear suction cup with a dab of clear silicone on it would work great, but I doubt that too many Brand New Lexus Owners would be too keen on that idea. :rolleyes:

I have much to keep me busy. Dinner with mom and another Brand new Dell PC to setup and replace the mechanical hard drive with an SSD. The few clients that have taken my advice, got the new computer and had the SSD installed keep coming back for more!

​

Yep Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I would love to make a youtube video on how to do this, but I simply don't have a need for it and the A/C vent mount works very well for me. Not every car is a candidate for this cellphone mounting method. :)

Yep, that would be a problem alright, [MENTION=2971166]Sherri.[/MENTION] Do you have some sort of very new, expensive car? If not really, as an electronic technician I have used clear Silicone Caulking for a variety of situations. Before you nix the idea (New Car?) think about it. The silicone dries in 24 hours, is very strong and is super flexible and vibration proof, and yet can be easily cut with a knife. If you find a phone holder that you like, almost all them have "ball and swivel" mounts at the back so you can tilt the device to your desired viewing angle. So you have 2 reasonable methods to use.

Carefully cut off the vent clips and shave, sand, or Dremel to a somewhat flat surface. Then use the clear silicone caulking cement the rear of the holder to a good position on the dashboard. Once in place, while ball joint nut is loose, get your desired viewing angle and tighten the ball nut. All done. The phone can be removed any time as it was intended to do.

Second option is similar but does not require you to glue anything to the car. Get some very strong Velcro strips and place on one the car dashboard near the desired location. Modify the phone holder be trimming off the clips and shaping it with a knife, razor, sand paper, or what ever to a shape where you can apply the other side of the Velcro strip. If the Velcro strip is not strong enough on the phone holder side, use clear silicone to stick that Velcro strip on very well, use 2 if you must, so that your phone mount can now attache to the car dashboard. Loosen the ball nut to position, then tighten up the ball nut again.

Here are some links showing the mounts and as you can see, there is a LOT of flexibility with what you can do with these things. If you or your hubby are not mechanically inclined, then by all means, forget it. Not worth risking damage to the car if you do not see a clear way to do this or have the necessary confidence to get it done.

Don't try it if "you don't feel right about it", Sherri. Hope this helps. Sure is nice having nav at eye level and just telling the phone who to call instead of fumbling for it all the time. :)

Hi, [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION],

According to the this post from xposed thread and this unofficial KitKat build for Nexus 7 2012 with latest security patches and this manual patch for xposed. I can confirm this patch for xposed from OmniROM works by installed on my own Nexus 7 2012. Could this patch be included if we have next build? I know the workaround by replace two files but it should not be a long term solution. Please include this patch in next build if it's ok, thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I hear you on this. I have the same opinion on that. That's why I was thinking about designing a mount and printing it on my 3d printer to hold the magnet. And see below on my attachment idea.

Another way of attaching it, which is how I would do the mount if I made one, is using the 3M strips they use for their hooks you can mount on walls and such. With those, they can easily be removed when you need to.

Later
