Oh yeah, the 3M Command Strips. I use them all the time. They come in all sizes and strengths. From small pictures to larger, heavier objects. But for them to work for a dashboard mount, I think you would need to find a very smooth portion on the dashboard, maybe near the radio of some place where the plastic dashboard is not textured. These command strips tend to work very well on non-porous surfaces but not so sure about a textured plastic surface.

Hah you lucky dog. Wish I had a 3D printer to play with. That would be really neat. Send me some pictures of the machine and projects you have made if you get a chance, will ya? PM for email address or put on a cloud drive. Thanks! :good:

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I have a car dashboard holder for the Razr Maxx. It came with suction cup and tape. Been excellent since I put it there, when I got the phone originally. Swivels for landscape or vertical view. Also, I have phone set to rotate every which way, so position of plug never bothered me.

[MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION], where in the Western part of state? One daughter went to Buffalo (pretty darn west....) and the other one is in Geneseo. I'm on long Island....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I had an iOttie mount, but the suction cup went on it. Also, I had to have it in just the right spot for it to work on my dash. Didn't want to stick the disk to the dash, although thinking of the 3M strips, I might try it.

Anyway, Yeah, I'm in WNY [MENTION=2971166]Sherri.[/MENTION] Buffalo is an hour away, the Falls is 50 min- an hour. I did live in Yonkers for 3 yrs though, and my sister is on the Island. So, I've been back and forth many times. Hell, when I was in Yonkers, I still kept my season tickets for the Bandits. Went to all the Saturday games.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtiger1138:
I'd been thinking of this earlier today, how I could modify my old mount, iOttie, so I could still use it. The suction cup would work on the windshield, but that puts it in a odd place to have it connected to the radio or charging. Don't have bluetooth for the radio. I was trying to think if there's a way I could design something to attach to it, print it, then use the 3M Command strips on that piece. Looking at your photo showing the fins that would be cut off kinda saw what could be done. Make a piece that the part minus the fins would slide into, then mount that to the dash.

I like that idea. Need to find that mount and see what I can come up with.

Later
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=6309629]dtiger1138[/MENTION] I think you are getting the idea. Since you do 3D printing, you are better able to visualize a concept that has not been built yet and with that 3D printer you have, it is possible that you can produce something like the mounting plate to meet and weld to the ball joint extension that was previously used for the fins. Right now this is all discussion but it *is* possible and not entirely out of the question. I have attached some better pictures of the rear phone mount, the ball swivel, and where the fins connect to the ball swivel that would, in turn, press into the car vent fins.

Removing the fins from the ball and attaching a flat plate (Angled, raised, or whatever works) for the Command Strips and then we would have a really nice dashboard phone mount that does not require an A/C duct to connect the mount to, and still be able to adjust the swivel for that perfect viewing angle. What do you think? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
sorry for late reply. i installed it in slot 1, when i install the open-gapps (btw open-gapps is successor of pa-gapps) /system still have around 700mb and plenty in /data partition (system=1GB ; data=2GB). i think open-gapps extract all gapps (not just the gapps we choose to install) which make it possible my phone don't enough space.. or maybe im wrong.. dunno.. didn't really look @ the script.. somebeody know anything?

big chances are my razr dont have enough space when it got extracted.

Thx [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] for the reply and for turning back on your razr :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION] 1 GB /system and 2 GB /data are *way* MORE than enough to install cm11 with gapps. /System should be 700, go to 800 if you are using some other additional Google services.

If you have a runing system and do not want to make it worse or lose it, make a safe strap backup of it, right now, and make the backup to the ext-sdcard. If you have a card reader when done, you can shut off phone, pull the card, insert into PC, and copy the backup to PC for safekeeping.

No card reader? Fine. Make the backup anyway, use internal if that is the only place you have enough room to make backup, then after backup completes, do not reboot. Tap the Home button in Safe Strap and go to the Mount button. (Might be under advanced, but I don't think so.) Plug a data cord from the phone to the PC, check internal storage and external storage and click the Mount button. This should open up two new explorer windows, one for internal storage and one for external storage. Sometimes it does not work right away so if you have to, pull the plug from the PC, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in. See if you get the explorer windows. Make sure that internal and external storage are checked. Let me get mine running to be sure for you...

If you have no running system and need to install one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rah_asia:
i have many apps need to install in system, since i try to combine xperia apps and framweworks.. trial and error, mostly error :laugh:

about safestrap n TB are all well through, alrady done it since day one i started customize my razr.

try to install pico open-gapps now, if the problem still persist then maybe i need XZ binary,, likely impossible though since i've managed to install open-gapss before.. aaaaa hell i'll just restore my backup from TB :o

thx [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] for making your time to reply :good:

Unofficial xposed build for newer KitKat rom

Dear All, SolarWarez from xposed thread have build an unofficial xposed module for newer KitKat rom. Now you can install xposed without replace files or patched CM source. Tested on my XT910/151115 and works well. Just uninstall original xposed then install this unofficial build and enjoy. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You really need a plan, [MENTION=5108953]rah_asia[/MENTION]. And that plan you have suggested sounds as good as anything I can come up with. Install the tiniest gapps package there is. ALL of them come with core Google services so you will not be missing anything. The rest is "fluff", a whole bunch of apps to fill your app drawer, many of which are very useful like Maps, navigation, play store, I love and use Google Play Music, etc.. Once you get the latest unofficial cm11 rom installed with gapps, you are well on your way and good to go.

At this stage, if you get this far, make a safe strap backup! If you do not have room on phone to keep it handy, keep it on Dropbox if you have data or WiFi to retrieve the almost 2 Gb of data a single backup requires. Or else, copy it to the PC like we already talked about.

Print out shadow's fast guide to backing up and restoring your apps with Titanium Backup. He taught me things I never even knew about and now, saving and restoring my necessary apps is not a difficult thing to do at all, any more. His method of sorting from most or last used to little or now use really allows you to pick a group of apps, give them a label, and then anytime restore this label back to your phone anytime you need to.

I have a LOT of confidence in you, rah_asia and I am sure that you are very close to getting this issue put to bed once and for all. You are a very determined member, I can say that for sure and that is quite refreshing. Good luck and do tell of your progress or lack thereof for the benefit of others who might need this help and for the members who have already dealt with this and can lend you a hand.

Looking good my friend! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION], if we already have the old write files to disc do we have to remove them, remove Xposed entirely, then reinstall with the new method? If you have not done this yet and are not sure, that's okayl Thanks for the heads up! :good:

Well, I downloaded the XposedInstaller_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk and tapped to install in ES File Explorer. The apk file install failed. What now? I "could" uninstall ever single Xposed module I have, uninstall the Framework apk, flash the uninstall zip from TWRP and hope like hell that everything actually works like it is supposed to.

Then try to install the XposedInstaller_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk again and, who knows, maybe it will install this time? And if it does, then I can reinstall all of the modules I had before and configure each one of them.

Now that is a WHOLE LOT OF MAYBE that all has to fall into place and work. I do not have a lot of or any confidence since the new Framework installer failed to install. The fellow did say:

"(Unfortunately I can't find official sources of Xposed v58 on rovo89 github, so I used this fork mikukon/Xposed (I can't post links) which also provide v58 of Xposed)"

So it seems like not a whole lot has changed. Another developer wants to give it a try, got lucky on his phone, but I am not getting lucky on mine. You know, a decent set of instructions would really go a LOOOOOOOOOng way here. Used to be a time when any new app, framework, module, rom, or whatever, came with instructions.

I am not saying it will not work for you, but for me, nada. Maybe I needed the other file instead. The Junior Member has two Xposed installer hacks, an MIUI and a SolarWarze version? What does that mean? Which is "the right one" to use? Since I am not running MIUI, I opted for the SolarWarze.

I was smart and did make a backup before doing this. For me, this installer is not ready for prime time. I would love to hear your experiences and if you got it right, some instructions would be worth their weight in gold. :rolleyes:

Update:

Since I had the brains to make a nandroid backup prior to trying out this new Xposed thing, I at least has some insurance. After the new apk install failed, I uninstalled the existing framework apk, tried the new one again, failed. I then gave up and installed the original XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha*.apk. FAILED. If I had not made that nandroid backup, I would be really screwed with no apparent way out, no way to install or uninstall, or configure Xposed modules. The restore put me back to where I was. Good news is that the phone works great, has no problems, and I am very happy with it.

If you are running Lollipop and decide to use Xposed (They are good. Most work, and they do incredible things.), them Make a Safe Strap or TWRP backup BEFORE installing *any* Xposed components!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OldBaldy:
Hence the old saying. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Woot woot! :D

Since an announcement was made that the Xposed framework installer was now fixed, I know that others are going to try it out. I got a bad burn by installing it without making a nandroid backup. So I figured I would "test the waters" and after reading that very short post by a Junior Member trying to fix the Xposed framework issue, I was not too impressed. A lot of files and help from the original developers is simply not there so if this does work, it would be a near miracle.

Since I have the backup and can test this, and if it totally fails, restore my backup, I decided to do it as a PSA. And if it really did work, that would be a BIG plus. Sad to see it does not work. "Prove me wrong, somebody, anybody!"

The only thing really missing in the Xposed Framwork installer is the install/uninstall button, they do not work. About all you can do in there is reboot. Since new Xposed Framework apk files are not exactly flying out the pipe, I guess we can do without the install feature for now. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi, you can't use this modified xposed module if the two files were replaced before. Just uninstall THE xposed apk ( keep all modules installed ) then install this new apk. That's all I do in 5 minutes and everything works now.

Re-flash KitKat rom if you've replaced the files before.

Uninstall ONLY xposed installer

Install modified xposed installer

Install xposed main process from installer

Rebooot and every modules work again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
We have different phones, Mr. Chen. My XT912 with CM11 works perfectly, albeit a tad slow, but everything works, including Xposed. The phone I am having Xposed issues with is the Moto-X Pure, it has Lollipop 5.1.1 and there is no official, working Xposed installer for it. Just an Alpha version where you flash the zip, then install the special alpha apk file, then you can install and use modules. The Alpha framework does not install/uninstall, about all you can do in the Framework is reboot. But you can choose, enable, and setup your modules.

I did exactly what you outlined above, word for word, line by line. Not a single apk file would install, NONE of them, even the original XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha*.apk FAILED. So I restored the backup and everything is working fine for me and the new phone. At some point in the future, some really experienced developer will create a new Lollipop Xposed Framework apk file that works, but then again, we are now in "The Marshmallow Run" so who knows what will happen.

There is some really good stuff to read about it here and there:

[OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow [Android 5.0/5.1/6.0, v78, 2015/11/15]

[DISCUSSION] Xposed for Lollipop by rovo89

Rovo89 has gotten enormous support and donations for Xposed on Lollipop so until he gets around to it, nothing concrete is likely to happen.

I stayed up like an idiot last night screwing with this Xposed stuff all night, had a client computer emergency right as I am about to lie down to sleep, and have to go do a medical office PC install and setup at 5:00. So now I have to go do this job, dead tired, and I am not happy about it. :(

I do appreciate your help and step by step instructions but I have done this, twice already. And to do the same thing over and over and expect different results doesn't actually work very well. I appreciate the help and if it works for the Razr phones, all the better. But OldBaldy has made a good point, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and right now Xposed is working really well on the Moto-X. Thanks for the help, Mr. Chen. :)

EDIT:

Oh I did ask for clarification on the instructions and you did just that. Thank you Mr. Chen. I am just too tired to think clearly right now. I am not able to complete step #4, see screenshot. As you can see, nothing can be installed or updated from the main Framework app. And so far, nothing has been able to fix it. Everytime I try this, it takes hours of downloading, uninstalling, rebooting, installing, and doing it all over again, and again, and again. I just do not want to do it anymore until some new, significant update or change comes to the Lollipop Xposed Framework apk app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Oh, I think that we were talking about two different things actually. My post about modified xposed installer is for [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION]'s latest CM11 build for XT910/XT912 which break original xposed installer 2.6.1, not for Lollipop. :p

This issue (can't install xposed hook) only exists in KitKat. I know there is a workaround by replacing two files ( app_process / libandroid_runtime.so ) from previous build, which you already did on your XT912, but I prefer to solve the problem from root. So I search and find some useful information, one to patch CM11's source code and one is modified xposed installer. I've confirmed both work in my Nexus 7 2012 (source patched) and my XT910 (modified xposed installer), so I provide these information to thread in case others may need them.

Sorry for can't help you to solve xposed issue on your Moto X-Pure which running Lollipop version. I'm still searching some information for my next phone between Sony Xperia Z5 and Nexus 6P. Maybe next time we can debug together again. :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well now THAT makes and awful lot of sense. I am starting to think that at least ONE Of us is nuts and the other is not far behind. :p

Once I got the two files copied over to fix Xposed Kit Kat, I really didn't care that I had to do this manually and that there was no "official" cm11 upgrades and Xposed fixer. To me, job done, move on to other things. You wanted it "done right", in one fix. Okay I get it. We both ended up with working, security patched Razr phones and all is good.

You cannot help much with the Pure because you don't have one, Mr. Chen. If you had a Note 4, I would not be able to help you either. Unless, by happenstance, one of use just happened to come across a solution for the other.

Hah! That was so funny. You were so adamant about this Xposed fix and I am so tired of it. Turns out we were talking about different things.:silly: :D

GPS Problem

I'm running 15/11/2015 unofficial build by stargo on my XT910 on slot 1.

Everything is fine, except GPS. It does not find any satelites.

On stock, GPS is working normally.

Is there any fix for GPS?

Sorry for my bad English, i'm from Serbia.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
My XT910 with same version is fine, just tested with Google maps. Did your GPS enabled and not in Airplane mode?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=4408095]vlado3399[/MENTION] Mr. Chen is absolutely right about this and has the same phone that you do. The attached screenshot shows exactly what [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] is telling you. The green square is for GPS and is set to High Accuracy and the red square is Airplane mode that must not be turned on or else you will lose voice service, text messaging, GPS, and any kind of data. In the meantime, check everything else like WiFi, Voice service, text messages, and hot spot. See if there is anything else at all that is not working.

[MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] also has the same phone that you do and uses Serbia - mts for his provider. If there is any sort of special settings required, he would know and by mentioning him in this post, we are very likely to attract his attention. So check your settings per Mr. Chen and we will see if Welder knows anything special about GPS in Serbia. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vlado3399:
After reboot, phone locks up GPS, shows coordinates and accuracy(tested with iGO Primo and GPS Test)but does not show available satelites. Screenshots attached.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You do have high accuracy mode enabled by statusbar icon, thus you are not using airplane mode. I also notice in your statusbar that your battery is near dead. Many phones have built in battery savers or battery saver features. These features kick in at low battery levels, anywhere from 5% -- 25%. Once battery saver kicks in, most services shut down or are severely limited such as data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and anything else that may stop you from making a phone call if you really had to. Check these things, they have a high potential for limiting or stopping the GPS service.

Attached are a couple of working screens so show how it "should look".

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

Did you get the MM update on your XPE yet? I got it last night. Already rooted, TWRPed and running the MM version of Xposed. So far so good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SolarWarez:
Hi,

first of all, because it is modified version of original Xposed Installer v.261 APK, it's signed by test key. So, if you already has installed original APK, then you can't install modified. You must uninstall original APK before.

If you didn't want (or can't) install modified Xposed Installer APK, then I mentioned in my post, that I changed only one file in it. It is app_process_xposed_sdk16

So, you can install official Xposed Installer v.261 APK and then only replace provided app_process_xposed_sdk16 file with mine version (you can extract it from modified APK, it resides in /assets/arm). You can do it in many ways. It resides (as far as I remember, because haven't phone on the hands) in /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/assets/arm (in worst case, you can search it by file name to find exactly right path).

After replacing original file, you can go to Xposed Installer -> Framework and there now must not be error message, so you can install framework by pressing on Install button.

Regarding versions - I posted two versions: one only for MIUI devices (it named XposedInstaller_v2.6.1_MIUI_edition_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk) and one for all other (really not all, because exist, for example, ZTE nubia or Huawei EMUI devices, which also require they own patches for Xposed) devices (it named XposedInstaller_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk).

PS: Sorry for my English.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION], that is an awful lot of cryptic talk and sounds very exciting, to say the least. Could you put that in plain English please? :p

I am assuming you mean "Marshmallow"? ...XPE, huh? You mean "moto-X Pure Edition"? Where did you get this update, what is it for, and where do get the rooting tools and instructions. Checking settings, about, updates and there are none.

And if this is Marshmallow, is it like "good" or something? Does anything actually work on or with it? :confused:

Let's go already! You get me all whooped up over this Rubik's Cube mystery to solve?!! Give it up already! :mad:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thank you very much, [MENTION=260994]SolarWarez[/MENTION]. I have a Motorola Moto-X Pure Edition XT1575 running Lollipop and so far, the Xposed installer is a major PITA. You flash a zip to make it install, then install XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha*.apk, then you have the framework, can install modules and configure them, but the framework itself cannot be removed or updated. See screenshot. Thnx. :good:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SolarWarez:
I made my fixed version of app_process_xposed_sdk16 universal, it must works both with "old" and "new" versions of app_process & libandroid_runtime.so files...

So you doesn't need to re-flash original ROM.

Oh, in that case it will not work for you...

Xposed Installer v2.6.1 is only for the Android up to 4.4.* (I mean not Installer app by it self, but Xposed framework that it provide)

No, you can remove or update framework... but only through TWRP/CWM (or if you know you can do it manually in some ways) not directly from Xposed Installer ;)
