[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC-8690:
If you're rooted and have the secret menu enabled, dial *#0*# and check both of your cameras.

I had this camera failure thing on my S4 and used this to diagnose that my front camera was bad. They're tied together because of that dual shot crap. $15 part, a little effort, and camera app worked perfectly. I really didn't want to replace my phone, because I still had the MDK bootloader.

With that being said, the S5 is a lot less DIY friendly from what I've seen. At least, though, you can narrow down the problem, instead of fighting your phone for hours on end. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkometz:
I am not new to using XDA for information but am fairly new at actually posting anything so I hope I am doing this right. Anyhow, I'm having the camera issue. Restart fixes it temporarily sometimes. I tried doing an unroot via SuperSU, and tried a factory reset. Now I have actually used Odin to flash the original retail firmware. I will re-root, but I don't know what the secret menu is that you mentioned? My camera is working currently but I'd like to scope it out to be sure the same issue doesn't just come up again because I'm really tired of all this root, unroot, reset, reroot, circle of B.S.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tengwer:
I have the Galaxy Note 8 model GT-N5110 and it is rooted. I have a 32gb sd card mounted.

The Note 8 has a lot of good features but I can't live with just 9gb of internal space for my programs. I have tried Directory Bind, Folder Mount, and Lidroid File with supermount but none of these has allowed me to use the storage card for data from certain programs. I have not yet tried a trick using Script Manager to swap the internal memory for the external memory because I just want the data to be on the external card and not the program itself since I assume even a class 10 sdcard is slower than internal memory. The best I have been able to accomplish in using the other programs is to have the data on the internal memory mirrored to the external card such that when I delete the data on the internal memory the data on the card is deleted as well. I checked the storage information and even with these programs used the storage on the internal memory is showing a corresponding increase with every piece of data that is added. To test this I used Wallpapers HD and linked the Wallpaper HD folder to the external sd card and it just mirrored every wallpaper I saved so that the data was in both directories. Obviously It would not be long before the internal space was used up for programs like this.

Please tell me there is some way to use the sd card with programs so that the programs only store the data on the sd card. Otherwise I may have to go back to the Nexus 7.

Adding this note ---- I just remembered that I made a few changes to the platform.xml file in the permissions folder from a post I read about inability to access external storage. Not sure if the changes I made have something to do with the mirroring affect but these are the parts I changed (can't remember what the original had as I stupidly deleted the backup in a factory reset):

My problem is that the lower main microphone is dead in my i9300 (european version , 4.3 , rooted) . The upper is ok , becouse when i record a video there is sound on that side . So is there any chance that the phone can use the upper microphone when i make a call ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neszoljalbe:

[Xposed General] carbonize:
I installed Xposed on my S5 and for some strange reason it stops the S health app from working. Possibly something to do with how S health hooks in to the sensors but to be honest I haven't got a clue.
[Xposed General] ex-28:
sent you a reply back with the test version and logcat, unfortually no luck there either still crashes.
[Xposed General] carbonize:
Yup still no joy. Doubt I will use S health that much but still you never know.
[Xposed General] ex-28:
Ya only other thing is with Xposed installed phone is slightly laggy and sluggish
[Xposed General] carbonize:
Ah yes I did notice that as well but thought it was to do with S Health trying to start itself.
[Xposed General] rovo89:
Apps that keep restarting could indeed have an impact on performance and battery life. Xposed itself shouldn't have any noticable impact.

I checked the new log as well. It doesn't contain those lines with libdvm.so anymore, but still the secure storage commands aren't successful. I have no idea what they are doing there, what they might be checking to make sure that the phone is indeed secure etc. And I don't think I can find out as I don't know what else I could let you test.
[Xposed General] ex-28:
If you need anything tested I'm here for ya im starting to see more and more users with the s5 and not able to run s health hoping so more can figure cut out
[Xposed General] sebarkh:
The same here I would love to test new builds on my gaslaxy s5.

Lmk if you need a tester.
[Xposed General] GlitterKill:
I have latest xposed installed as well as the most recent updates for S Health and everything is working fine. :)
[Xposed General] ex-28:
Hmm how and or what did you do to get it to work, are you rooted with recovery installed?
[Xposed General] carbonize:
On the S5 because your signature says S3?
[Xposed General] rovo89:
I have no idea where the issue might be and currently don't see a chance to find out. So there won't be any test builds.
[Xposed General] carbonize:
Think we have figured out it's down to the kernel. Could it be because custom kernels have selinux set to permissive? Not sure what the stock kernel has it set to but guessing not permissive.
[Xposed General] ex-28:
yup agreed as I loaded up Echoe Rom with ael kernel , and everything working 100 %
[Xposed General] carbonize:
I'm now certain it is down to how SEAndroid is set. Custom kernels have it set to permissive and everything works. I did notice that there is an option in Wanam Xposed to set it to permissive on boot but it's in beta. I may restore my backup in a bit and test to see if this fixes it.
[Xposed General] carbonize:
OK so I jumped in and tried this. It kind of worked but due to the lag it took ages for the Android os to get root so ran then just took me back to home screen. Definitely a step in the right direction though. Back to custom kernel for now.
[Xposed General] GlitterKill:
Yeah, S5, had to update sig. :) I am using philz Touch recovery with the stock Kernel.
[Xposed General] caravana:
I don't know if it helps, but here with the xposed framework installed, the private mode also fails to activate alongside with the s health.

[Xposed General] Tungstwenty:
Did any of you reporting the errors with "SecureStorage" happen to test with the beta 1.6 framework?

The libdvm.so library is no longer patched in memory, so it might be worth a shot checking if that was the validation that was failing - memory image not matching the filesystem data.
[Xposed General] Dark_Avenger:
With latest Xposed Framework 1.6 beta1 and SecureStorage enabled the S Health application still crashing. The validation is failing somewhere else.
[Xposed General] Geris:
No solution yet? anxious awaiting every update Xposed no longer fixes the bug
[Xposed General] carbonize:
No solution to what? If you mean the Shealth issue then the solution is to use a custom kernel with SEAndroid set to permissive.
[Xposed General] Geris:
yes Shealth and more private mode why? installing or uninstalling the kernel framework is permissive framework works by uninstalling and installing the Shealth not ..?
[Xposed General] carbonize:
I believe private mode doesn't work due to trying Knox. As to Sheath like I said use a custom kernel.
[Xposed General] Geris:
1) Install this app Build Prop Lite Tweaker

2) Search for ro.securestorage.support = true line and change there for ro.securestorage.support = false

3) Restart the phone and ready.

it worked here:good::good:
[Xposed General] cljack3:
Did this fix private mode?
[Xposed General] Geris:
not..
[Xposed General] coolloser:
The build.prop suggestion did not work for me, I opted to instead freeze S Health with Titanium Backup.
[Xposed General] rovo89:
Well, I have no idea what that "Secure Storage" is, how exactly it works (technically), and how that could conflict with Xposed. The log doesn't say much more either. It wants to write something to the secure storage, and it fails with return code -2. This number doesn't give me any clue where to look, and I don't see other clues in the log.

So I don't think I can do anything about it. We can only hope that someone with enough low-level technical knowledge can analyze the situation and provide the technical details why it's failing.

[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

Thanks for the info. First I thought it's someting new to Android but it seems to be Samsung related. I might take a look in Samsung frameworks when I will have some time.
[Xposed General] elesbb:
Secured Storage is part of Samsung's KNOX crap. I have it disabled in my build.prop and i know on my S4 wifi wouldn't work with it enabled and with a custom kernel. However, either way, S-Heath works just fine on my phone.

But I do notice some lagginess. Its only when a method is being hooked. I have a module that hooks the interceptKeyBeforeQueueing method and the actions seem to be a little slow at times. Personally i thought it was my kernel modifications which i think it is. I don't think its xposed related nor do i see how it could possibly be xposed related.

[Xposed General] GermainZ:
Read the FAQ.
[Xposed General] Tungstwenty:
Could any of you guys facing Xposed / S-Health issues on S5 share their SELinux configuration files?

I'm investigating the subject and it would be useful to see if the policy is stricter than aosp.

The relevant files are:

- file_contexts

- property_contexts

- seapp_contexts

- sepolicy

all of them under /

Thanks
[Xposed General] Dark_Avenger:
Here are they. Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F with stock firmware/kernel G900FXXU1ANC9.
[Xposed General] Tungstwenty:
Thanks!

The policies are indeed very different from AOSP and it could be the reasons for some of the reported problems.

In short, the "u:r:init:s0" context is not set to permissive, as it is on AOSP, which means that it doesn't necessarily have access to all the stuff that zygote / app_process has. I don't know if this influences the S-Health part, but it's a candidate.

Anyone willing to do the following experiment? :)

Basically what I'd like to know is if everything works properly if app_process is set to the correct context expected on a stock rom, while hopefully Xposed will still be loaded.

Steps:

- Xposed already installed, including the replaced app_process file
- run "toolbox ls -Z /system/bin/app_process"
- it should state that it has the "u:object_r:system_file:s0" context (set by the Xposed Installer)
- mount system r/w
- run "toolbox restorecon -v /system/bin/app_process"
- it should state that it's changing the file's context to "u:object_r:zygote_exec:s0" and running the "ls" command again should confirm it
- reboot

If for some reason this needs to be reverted to the state after Xposed was installed, just:

- mount system r/w
- run "toolbox chcon u:object_r:system_file:s0 /system/bin/app_process"

(from recovery if the system isn't booting)

PS: Note that this is for the S5 only. On most other devices, changing the app_process file to the "correct" context will make Xposed not work.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Was this method supposed to fix Private Mode....Tried it but Private Mode still not working
[Xposed General] Tungstwenty:
But Xposed is working properly and modules are also working, when app_process is changed to the "u: object_r:zygote_exec:s0" context?

If so, I'd recommend you leave it that way, even if Private Mode is still not ok.
[Xposed General] ubercool786:
But without changing app_process to the "u: object_r:zygote_exec:s0", Xposed is still working fine, then whats the use of it....Any chance of Private Mode being fixed?
[Xposed General] mefistos:
this whole thread is about S Health and Private mode not working on S5 after installing xposed... not xposed not working.. it works just fine.. but it breaks two features of the S5...
[Xposed General] Tungstwenty:
Well, pardon me for suggesting a change that I was wondering if was the cause of S-Health and Private mode not actually working :)

Xposed currently uses a different context for the app_process than the original one (I believe rovo is working to change that), and while that is indeed needed for most ROMs, apparently for S5 the "correct" context can be used and Xposed keeps working.

Unfortunately it doesn't fix your problems. Too bad.

(personally ATM I don't have any other ideas about what could be the cause)
[Xposed General] rovo89:
I had hoped that SELinux was the problem, because I don't have any other ideas either. Just to be sure that we don't throw this idea away: Did those of you how tried Tungstwenty's suggestion verify that "ls -Z" returns "u:object_r:zygote_exec:s0" after the change?

As mentioned a couple of times before, I don't know what other information I could ask for to analyse what's going wrong, so if you want to get this fixed someone with enough low-level technical skills needs to check it and provide information to me.
[Xposed General] Dark_Avenger:
Hi [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION], sorry for the late response. I did what Tungstwenty suggested and here are the results:

- context of app_process changed successful to zygote_exec (and verified)

- rebooted without problems

- xposed framework seems to continue to work (crapalinks mod)

- enabled secure storage in build.prop and rebooted

- S Health and private mode are still not working

Will keep the zygote_exec context as Tungstwenty suggested as everything seems to work OK.
[Xposed General] ubercool786:
Yup u r right, Xposed and modules are all working fine. Some people reported that apart from breaking S Health and Private Mode, Xposed is making their device slow. But after installing Xposed S health is all working fine without build prop modifications and the device is not slow at all. The only problem i m facing is Private Mode not working
[Xposed General] carbonize:
People if you are going to post just saying that S-health or private mode is working or not working we are going to get nowhere. Please state what rom you are using and what kernel even if it's just stock.
