+1 Agreed

People aren't doing a full restore and trying a different rom to confirm. the settings for xgels in internalSD can get corrupt. So a full data wipe is /can be necessary, I've seen it in the past but I'd say 95% of the peeps it works for...it's not many and pretty isolated that it doesn't work.

[MENTION=6011972]Teseu[/MENTION]: try deleting the xgels settings folder and reinstall it so that folder gets overwritten and then if it says invalid, hit the purchase text to take you to play store and then go back into settings and see if it updates to full paid version. If you aren't running any Lucky Patcher stuff you probably need to overwrite the old settings folder so it "sticks" and becomes full version.

Okay... We need to make some clarifications.

1. I just did a fresh (full) install of the stock Google ROM (5.1.1 LMY48B). The entire phone was completely wiped (can't stress that enough).

2. I rooted it (TWRP + SuperSU PRO).

3. Installed Xposed Installer + Framework (the "unofficial" one for 5.1.1).

4. Installed XGEL.

5. Activated the module in Xposed Installer --> Reboot.

6. Bought the app (premium 5$).

7. Ended with the same "invalid purchase GPA -numbers-".

Below are the screenshot and the logs. I also sent them to the dev.

Hopefully now I will get a solution.

P.S. Today I received back the money from Google (those 5$) and I tried to buy the app again, see step 1.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
It's been 1 day since I've posted the logs. Can't anyone find a solution? Sorry for urging this matter, but I'm still sticking to the stock Google ROM with 3 apps installed... It's painful :)).

Regarding my previous post, yesterday I received the 5$ I initially paid for the premium features (through the refund process) and after that I did all those steps and bought the app again (in the hope that it would work). Either way, it was futile.

Waiting impatiently for a solution. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
I don't use this mod anymore but i read your logs and it says purchase successful in the log. Are you not getting premium features or are you just annoyed by the toast message? From what i read you purchased a beer, if that is correct. If premium features are working i wouldn't worry about the toast message it may be something with the newer xposed framework causing it as most mods were built for the older version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Nope, I actually can't use any premium features, that's the issue. So:

1. I have that stupid message every time I open the app (i.e. "invalid purchase")

&

2. I can't use ANY premium features (although I paid for them, TWICE).

Fresh install of the latest official Google image + root (TWRP + SuperSU PRO) + Xposed Framework. I have only XGel, Relay (reddit) and SuperSU PRO installed (all fresh installs).

Help????

L.E. Btw, why did you stop using this mod?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Experiment: Numerous post recommending data wipe or mentioning data corruption as cause of several reported problems. So I deleted XGels data and fired it up to re-import and restore from backups. No premium functions were available so could not do that. Tried the usual time-waits. No premium.

I do, however, have the 2.3.12 backup and its data. So I took the data from Titanium. Changed home to XGels and still had the wrong number of rows and columns. Premium functions working.

Would tend to indicate that the grid problem is a bug in more-recent 2.3.13 variants. Can't say anything about the lost purchases, however, but Google is playing cat-and-mouse with the module. (Why? They ought to buy it!)
[Xposed Framework Modules] dadykhoff:
Have you tried flashing back to 5.0 or 5.0.1 to rule out the issue being with the unofficial 5.1 xposed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Nope, but I'll try it today. But I don't think that is the issue (with the unofficial Xposed).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
I'm not a google launcher user anymore. In fact i use as little google apps as possible. I despise lollipop and material design, so i'm using kit kat on 1 device and jellybean on the other. Plus with android m looking worse than l, i can't be bothered with all the stupid, useless updates google sends out.

With your issue, i didn't see anything out of the ordinary in your logs. May just have to be patient and wait for theknut to take a look or install a different launcher.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Weird... I tried XGel on Bluestacks too... Same stuff... "Invalid purchase GPA bla bla". I'm going crazy here.

Can someone llink the lollipop version please. Not got glasses and typing blind lol, can't read thread
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Wut?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Well I did as instructed. Flashed the 5.0.1, rooted it, installed the official Xposed Framework. Needless to say, I have the same error - "invalid purchase detected GPA -some numbers-". Here are the new 5.0.1 logs. Maybe I can have a solution now?

N.B. As I mentioned earlier, I also tried XGels on Bluestacks (running Kit Kat) and I had the same problem ("invalid purchase"). Please help me somehow. I've sent a mail to the dev with the logs (both 5.1.1 and 5.0.1). Is he still active? I didn't get a response.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
Are you doing a " Full" format? Data and all? You definitely are having a very isolated case here. Yes the dev is active but could be on vacation or doing family stuff. It is Summer. I know 2 devs on vacation so its not that you're being ignored intentionally I'm sure...people just doing their thing. TheKnut has always been awesome with support.

Many peeps have tried to help so please remember to hit thanks once in awhile.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mjjcb:
I've used this mod for years. There was that settling in period before xposed got its legs under it for Lollipop, but it's been solid and reliable for me on my LG G3 since March. I can't imagine why I'm seeing so many issues, but it probably seems like more than there are cuz most people who post are going to complain.

Custom roms have come a long way, and I don't need as many options as I did in February, but there are some features only available from a few mods, like having 7 icons docked and being able to remove the search bar on the Google home page.

One minor problem I have is I can't restore any settings I've saved. It says it save it, but it would be great if I could throw a new rom on here and not have to set up all over again. I've had the file in my internal card, but I just moved to my ext card. Next time I flash, I hope that makes a difference. Anyone have any other ideas?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
When I'm finished setting up home screen with widgets and apps in folders etc. I make a backup in xgels (require premium I believe) then you also export settings from the same backup/restore tab..,...

When I setup a new rom I restore backup and import settings and hit home button and the home screen will be like what I backed up. Two step process. It works about ,99% accurately and the only thing I've had weird is sometimes a widget needs to be added backanually but app apps and folder names do come back. You of course have to have the apps installed on the new rom otherwise you'll only see the icon but will say app not installed so do you restore of apps and widgets/play store stuff first and it'll work very well.

No idea why some are having such a hard time with the purchase. I've never had the issue and have used it since opre-release beta.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Dude, as I told you before, I completely wiped my device (3 times). And I am definitely NOT having a very isolated case here.

Here is the proof.

I submitted all the logs here and to the dev, I did all that was asked (tried official 5.1.1, then official 5.0.1). What more can I do? I am simply desperate.
[Xposed Framework Modules] torecdude:
Every devices has its own framework/ functionality. Perhaps the google app update did not affect your gel settings.

But its seems your the only lucky one :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
I've only seen about 4-5/people with this issues and maybe 10 on the Play store. Xgels just isn't for ya I guess. Try Nova

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

I'd try a different launcher. I'm only confirming because many people don't wipe data and internal and thing they've done a full wipe.

I'm out, spent all the time I can, try Nova
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
I completely wiped all system, cache, dalvik, internal three times. My phone is completely blank. I also installed the official Google images (5.1.1, 5.0.1) via Nexus Root Toolkit and that process wipes the phone entirely (flash stock, unlock, root). Btw, as I said before, I also tried XGels on Bluestacks on my laptop (nothing to wipe there, it was a fresh install of Bluestacks). I got the same error (!).

I realy can't understand why I keep having this "invalid purchase" issue. And still, many people have it, too (check my Google Play screenshot). It's strange because the non-premium features work as expected, but I can't seem to get the premium ones, although I paid for them.

But the wierd thing is that the dev doesn't seem to care about this, although this is the most embarrassing problem a dev can have (to charge you money and to give nothing in return). I respect his work and I understand that as time goes by and Google updates their app, it's getting harder and harder to maintain XGels. But still, the "invalid purchase" issue has nothing to do with this. Simply put, it's embarrassing for a serious dev (especially a XDA one).

Anyway, I'm still hopeful he might respond to my emails one day... Or maybe he will see these posts here. Maybe he can prove me wrong.

Waiting impatiently...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Is the dev still alive :D ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
dude, repetitively asking that isn't going to speed things up. I know he's in another country and travels a lot and is in School so try a different launcher until you get a reply. It's Summer...many people are on vacation etc.

You can get every setting xgels offers in Nova rather than constantly posting.

No idea but maybe...It's working for everyone I know that runs it in our private hangouts so no idea, there's like 15 of us at least. weird for sure
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Another Experiment:

Seeing that all the icons that fit on the errant view were there as placed, maybe it is not a grid problem but a scaling problem. So I went into AppSettings, reduced and DPI and increased the font size to keep text readable. Restarted launcher.

Now all icons were in their proper placement! However, the formerly "hidden" icons were absent and doing a restore did not get them back. More problematic was that I still could not get the dock.

The AppSettings were used with GNL before there was an XGels (I was one of the first to test it) to get more icons on the home screens and the dock. Maybe until our favorite launcher is back on track, use GNL this way. The M-preview version has a vertical, indexed app drawer which might be easier to use, being without XGel's tabs and folders. Might be a way to go.
[Xposed Framework Modules] faslane:
When you're in xgels on settings that do work have you tried to click the link in the settings area that takes you to the Play store and gives you the option to open the app from there? That's was an issue that when done enabled the full version FYI. I've have to do it ONCE before so it'd write a file showing it was paid. Also you never stated if you after installed, deleted the xgel folder and then opened from the play sore as well. These are known bugs who've always worked in the past. List the current Xposed mods your running right now currently.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
Thanks for your time, bro'. I have only the following modules:

1. App Settings

2. Greenify

3. Lolistat

4. Notification Count

5. Xposed GEL Settings

6. YouTube AdAway

7. YouTube Background Playback.

That's pretty much all. I will try doing the play store thing. I'll be back with the good/bad news.

L.E. Bad news: none of what you had mentioned worked. I'm going crazy.

Disable all except xgels and see. I knwo you did that before but Xposed is a funny beast for sure. Did you delete the xgels settings folder too and see if that worked by it rebuilding itself?

Try Nova or other launcher I guess....it seems to hate your device for whatever reason. Nova offers basically the same features and more and doesn't require Xposed.

I was having the same problems as you guys are having. But I'm not using lollipoop, I'm using Kit-kat... After installing then updating purchase worked fine.

Google now launcher version

Version 1.1.1.1706998

Google Search

Version 4.9.22.19.arm

Xgels

Version 2.3.13

[MENTION=1264662]faslane[/MENTION]

Much respect too my my friend. As much helping as I see you doing in here ? ?. Keep up the good work.

I'm not using the module as much as I use to. Switched back to Nova prime for the time being.

Flashing to many roms testing things. So skipping setting up Xposed to save a little time.

If you're purchasing the module soon, I would say why not try it. If it doesn't work for you, then you can get a refund.

Don't let negative post/feedback from others discourage you from using Xgels. Don't think you'll be disappointed with it.

Just my 2¢®™
[Xposed Framework Modules] shel692:
I'm having the same issue with invalid purchase. I tried the minimum and also the maximum amount to donate. The $ has been withdrawn from my bank. I'm not running any other modules, I really only installed xposed to change icons on the GN launcher. I've tried all the mentioned troubleshooting. Please help!
[Xposed Framework Modules] thdervenis:
Yes, I tried previous legit versions and still says invalid license and on top of that says "... is not installed from play store, please install from play store to upgrade on premium"

And yes I also tried it (with all the suggested "would be" fixes) on KitKat, the same error occurs.

Btw, these horror stories should discourage everyone, I wish I read them before purchasing it. I have over 40 purchased apps it's the only one that doesn't validate its licence.

If you know please tell me, how can I get a refund?
[Xposed Framework Modules] rsync:
I'm having the same issue with invalid purchase.

The pay transaction is ok.

The problem is the license control check, the mismatch between server and app.

This is a problem only developer can resolve.

Waiting for one week after i will ask the refund.

Yes, im a nexus 6 user and its not working for me. Dont bother until dev release an update.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jaibar:
I just tried on my wife's brand new nexus 6: rooted it, set up with my Google accounts, installed xposed, installed xgels. Nothing else, no other apps or modules, just for the sake of testing...

License verification fails, and from all this waste of time my wife got angry and took control of her phone, threatening sending me to sleep on the sofa ?

I wonder, maybe failure is related to having more than one Google account?

I have several dozen paid apps, and long ago I stopped tracking from which account I made the purchases, so I always set up both accounts with new device and/or ROM- never had any problem with restoring purchased apps except with xgels..

[Xposed Framework Modules] jaibar:
After long googling looking for a solution to this licensing problem, it seems some other apps suffered from similar issue in the past- lots of frustrated users who "out of the blue" started having licensing errors.

Now, I surely don't know and can't tell in any of these cases whether the culprit is on Google's side, or it is the developers efforts to avoid piracy- but the irony is that some users found a solution to patch their own purchased apps in order to be able to use what they legitimately have purchased.. That's really twisted.
[Xposed Framework Modules] BouncingObject:
Wow, please leave the thread if you have that kind of attitude.

I understand your frustration on not being able to get it resolved, but to sit and bash the dev because he has a life outside of sitting and coding at his computer and not being able to help only YOUR specific issue in a timely manner that you see fit is ridiculous. And sitting here STILL crying about it doesn't help anything. Patience is a virtue.

He's a single man who patches and fixes an ever-increasingly harder app to mod for Xposed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Teseu:
It's been more than a week since I posted my issue here. Furthermore, many others have the same issue. Not a sigle word from the dev. He could at least give us a sign of life (e.g. to tell us here that he is working on it). If I didn't pay for the premium features, I wouldn't have "cried" about this issue. But it's my, pardon, it's our money. Some of us work hard for those few $. I can't have a nonstop refund, I already had my money refunded, but stupid me decided to buy the app again (while using a stock rom).

Customers that pay deserve a minimum amount of respect and support.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mondohow:
Customers that pay can request a refund and use something else, that's the beauty of choice. No one forced you to buy it again. I can't imagine why you'd do that before hearing from that dev or at least seeing a confirmed working fix posted here.

Fact is YOU don't know what's happened to this dev, they could be incapacitated (maybe not the right word to use here) with some other part of their life and unable to answer. Lets hope nothing serious has happened since his last update here. Life happens outside this forum which is something YOU don't seem to understand.

You know what comments like yours gets us as a community? Development ceases on these little mods and we as a group lose. Yes you work hard for your money, most people do, I just wish some of us used a little brain power before we posted in forums.

Customers that pay deserve respect but so do Developers/Coders/Modders who spend hours making the product in the first place, then provide lifetime updates. Until you know what's happened to this particular dev just request a refund and purchase again once he returns to developing the mod and fixes it or someone else posts a work-a-round.

VERY WELL SAID!!!! nd I wholeheartedly agree.

He can simply use Nova and leave it at that until he hears from the DEV (IF EVER) I'm sure the dev doesn't appreciate the barrage of comments regarding him being lambasted publicly which is WAAAAAY out of line and to keep posting is Dev around" type of posts only clutters the thread....I wouldn't have answered him either (but like you say, we don't now the whole story..I'd love to see Alaxendar's (xGels dev) inbox from this guy UGH..... +1 Bro!

I'm just trying to keep the peace in here and stop all the negative feedback. Because of a server issues not allowing premium features.

Okay... thanks for the replies, guys. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just stating the obvious: people pay for premium features and they don't get them. That's the issue. It seems strange that the dev hasn't given an official view on this matter. Of course, he may have his personal isssues, but it would've been nice if he (at least) gave us a heads-up.

And let's not demonize the customers and praise the devs. We are all people, we all have our issues, but it's how we deal with them that separates the responsible ones from the not-so-responsible ones. This is just how I see things.

FYI - I still didn't request another refund, in the event that the dev solves the problem. Even if he doesn't, I may leave it as it is. That is my respect (an actual one), not just some simple words. Peace!

I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but how does one go about getting a refund when the purchase isn't recognized to begin with? I'd happily get my money refunded and call it a day. Unfortunately that's not an option.
