[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
First you have to be rooted (as only rooted phones seem to be affected, we can assume this as given).

Then you can manually edit the /system/build.prop file with a root explorer, such as ES File Explorer (with enabled root explrer option and mounted system as R/W).

ES File Explorer has an integrated Text editor, which I used to change the corresponding line in my build.prop file.

If you are unsure what you are doing, create a backup (e.g.) copy original build.prop file to a save place before editing.

So no need for an extra build.prop editor app IMO.

Hi, the solution for me was so easy as remove S Health from the list of multi - windows applications in wanam xposed module...great!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daibaron:
Most of use don't even have Xposed wanam installed.

I'm glad you're out of trouble.

I don't think this is a solution.

I just tried what you have shared with no success.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Does S Health works after changing the setting in build.prop for you?

It worked fine for me.

BTW, I had to reconnect to all my wifi connections which I configured before the build.prop change. They both gave my connection errors after the change.

Fortunately I only had two wifi connections created before the change. So they were re-created quckly. And no connection issue after re-creating the connections.

TY for asking.

I just wanted consider another solution but editing the build prop.

I haven't tried this fix, but was finding that my S5 startup times were horrible when xposed was installed. The phone would boot but it took over 60 seconds for widgets to load or for the power button to work. Even without modules active it was slow. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

Does this fix resolve this? Anyone else even having those problems?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roger_Wilco:
I try to modify build.prop but nothing on my S5. Crach after update. The new framework is available v58 and new update of S health but the same. No real solution solution ?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokenet:
Xposed doesnt work correctly with rooted device only by using a custom kernel. You have to install also a custom rom.

OR ...

you have to change the build.prop, if you just only use a custom kernel with Xposed Framework.

- Take Root Explorer for example and open build.prop (to find in System)

- First uninstall Xposed Framwork again ...

- then go to build.prop to the line ( “ro.securestorage.support=true” )

- change true to false ( “ro.securestorage.support=false” )

- now reinstall Xposed Framework

- restart your device and both working well without any lags.

By rooting the phone the secure mode doesnt work anymore, so you have to change that in build.prop.

You dont need to do so with custom kernel and custom rom running, but with custom kernel and stock rom, as I told at the beginning.

cheers

Hoping someone can help here:

I followed the earlier suggestion of making S Health into a user app, but then I got continuous "S Health has stopped" pop-ups. I quickly uninstalled it, and now I can't seem to make any of the solutions work.

I've tried editing the build.prop line, as suggested, with Xposed uninstalled, then downloading the update to S Health, but it won't open, even before re-installing Xposed.

I would appreciate any suggestions - even some way to restore my phone to stock and get S Health back? I tried reformatting the phone, but S Health didn't show up again.

Thanks.

Ok, so with securestorage set to false, now everythinh works fine. Xposed ok, even Shealt after wiping data started to work again. The only problem with false securestorage is breaking private mode. (which is a very nice feature btw)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orka82:
My private mode works and I used the app called NextApp SDFix. This does only work with xposed deactivated. If I install xposed, private mode stops working again. Also, after the latest update for Samsung makes my phone lag very much when I have xposed installed so I had to uninstall and now I'm waiting for a solution..

I had S Health start crashing as soon as I rooted my phone and started installing apps like Xposed but I didn't care too much. Now I wanted to use it, I tried uninstalling and re-updating but it still failed. The above tweak now allows it to work properly.

THANK YOU for the ONLY fix that worked! :)

Hi,

Just wanted to thank you for posting the only fix that's worked for me. I've got a rooted S5 running 4.4.2 on TMO, with XPrivacy & the latest Xposed module, with KNOX disabled. I tried the most frequently posted solutions (uninstall updates, clear data/cache, setting ro.securestorage.support=false in build.prop); tried re-enabling KNOX, uninstalling Xposed & XPrivacy, etc, but nothing worked. ...Until I tried your fix.

So finally, I'm able to use S Health again *with* Xposed on a rooted device. Thanks again!

I've edited my build.prop and rebooted as the first step in attempting to install XPosed and keep the latest version of S-Health running. It was a bust.

My second attempt was to back up and restore S-Health and HealthService, remove, and install as user apps. This worked perfectly.... UNTIL I UPDATED them. Then HealthService spun out of control, slowing up down my system significantly and crashing S-Health of course. No more pedometer for me.

If you flash your new unit with the above rom and it has a g4 chip it will most likely be a brick - be careful.

If you want to try other roms get it cid unlocked from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ but it costs £30 or so. or use the risidoro method of flashing rom.

Read, read read -- then you see how many people have bricked their phone on the first day of recieving it!
[Samsung Gear 2] mark manning:
XDA-DEVELOPERS AND THE GPL

Hello Everyone,

As many of you know, here at XDA we have strict policy regarding GPL v2. What you may not understand is what that means and what effects it may have on you. Simply put "The GNU GPL is a software license agreement, under which parts of the Tizen operating system are licensed. The majority of Tizen is licensed under the Apache license, but the Linux Kernel (which is present in every running Tizen ROM in some shape or form) is licensed under the GPL (version 2)".

So what does this mean for the average user?

To keep things simple, this license is one of the reasons Tizen exists in the open source capacity that it does. It requires developers to keep their kernel source open and has created the community sharing programs that have made Android so wonderful.

If you are a developer what does this mean for you?

It doesn't matter if you are creating a whole rom or just the kernel, the process of being GPL complaint is a very simple one to explain. Basically, we expect you to either link the source that you have chosen to use or upload the source you have created into a format that can be viewed by everyone and anyone. Below are the 3 most common situations that developers run into when needing to stay GPL complaint under XDA rules.

1. If you are using a stock kernel you MUST have a link leading to where the manufacture has uploaded their source.

2. If you are using a community driven source build (e.g. CyanogenMod, AOSP, or Parandroid) or a singular developer's source you MUST link directly to the repository that contains the kernel for that specific device. If you are only linking to another thread or to a general repository, this will not be considered as being GPL complaint.

3. If you are forking a repository that is similar to the examples listed above in #2, you MUST publish and link your entire kernel source. This includes any and all changes that you have made. Two of the most common ways developers publish their source on XDA is either with Gerrit, or GitHub. While these two methods are recommend, they are not the only routes you can choose to accomplish this. All that is required is that the source can be viewed and downloaded by anyone who wishes to do so. When releasing an update, your repository must be updated the moment you release your kernel on XDA. If you can post your update to XDA, there should be no reason as to why you cannot release your source.

What if the manufacture for my device has not released their kernel source?

In a perfect world this would not happen but unfortunately this is not the case. Pulser-G2 recently wrote a portal article explaining a certain situation that has come across our desks.

With all of that being said I will leave you with this...

By posting your work on XDA-Developers, you are agreeing that it complies with relevant licensing conditions. As such, by posting a kernel or other work containing GPL code, you are confirming to us that you have made this source code available publicly under the GPL. Failure to follow this policy will result in the closure of your thread and the removal of the download links.

Hello Folks, thanks in advance for your time and help. I've been using XDA developers for the past week, researching, reading multiple posts regarding rooting my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II T989 and I've come to a frustrating standstill.

Current Firmware State:

Android 4.1.2

Kernel 3.0.31 - 1003885

Build JZO54K

1. Installed the latest Samsung drivers on pc

2. Installed Odin v1.85 on pc

3. Set phone to USB debugging, plugged into pc

4. Succesfully flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-hercules-1.tar to my phone via Odin (Got green "Passed" box)

5. Unchecked USB debugging on phone

6. Copied three different Superuser .zip files to root of both internal storage and external storage sd card

Here are the zips I used:

superuser.zip

su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip

Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

7. Booted phone into TWRP Recovery mode via 'volume up/down + power button" method while USB unplugged

8. Flashing resulted in error for the .7 and .5 zip files which I flashed as signed and unsigned and superuser.zip failed when flashed as signed

9. Flash resulted in 'Success!' when I used superuser.zip as unsigned

The log appeared as follows:

Installing '/sdcard/superuser.zip'...

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

Installing armeabi binaries...

Updating partition details...

10. Reboot phone only to find NO superuser app installed. Am I supposed to wait for something to come up after "Updating partition details..."?

11. Install Superuser app from Play Store but have no root access.

Question. Am I missing a step in this method?

Thank you for your time.

Apparently CWM can only be flashed to my phone if it is rooted. During my quest I was informed that odin-flasing a speedmod kernel to my device would be the only way to get clockworkmod recovery on my unrooted phone. My searches are simply not turning up any valid results for a speedmod kernel for my specific phone. I tried one for the SGS II (not t-mobile) and it didn't work.

When you have a chance could you upload that working superuser.zip file you used? Maybe, just maybe it's the zip and I can install it via TWRP.

Thank you for your time and knowledge.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
If you are S-On, when flashing a rom, it will not be able to automatically flash the kernel (boot.img) unless it specifically states in the OP it does by the developers. Most of the time, you'll just need to extract the boot.img and place it in the folder you have fastboot, then when connected in bootloader / fastboot mode run this : fastboot flash boot boot.img

after you flash the rom. Just boot into it right after, flash, and the just type : fastboot reboot

Should be good to go. FYI : adb isn't intended to work in bootloader and fastboot doesn't work in recovery. Nothing wrong there.
