[Xposed General] TwinAdk:
Mornig,

I just noticed that i get a notification from Good, saying that "GFE does not have connection [to the corporate network]. Unlock GFE to initiate the connection". See the screenshot (_20140718_072316.JPG) posted in the dropbox folder. I received this while GFE was unable to open, and it confirms that GFE is indeed running in the background..

I tried to rename the Xposed app in the phone, to test, using xSuite (weak attempt, but you never know). Also, i stripped GFE of some permissions using the App Settings module:

- Read External storage

- Read Logs

- com.dell.enterpriseservices.SET_PROPERTY_THIRDPARTY_APPINSTALL (custom GFE permission added to the manifest i belive). Possibly a permission used for corporate inforced rules (that do not apply here yet, but i still nuked it)

I will try stripping permissions to see where it gets me.

Also, there is this module, - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.phantasm.xposed.gfesecuritypatcher - but it does not work for me at least.

Then there is this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040163 - but the "4.3+ xposed way" mentioned in the very first post, is also no good...

I also tested the rootcloak app, where the developer says it may work with GFE, but he needs more testing. It does not.

I fear however, that all these past efforts have been nullified by some recent GFE update, because the case here is that we dont even get to start the program.

Kind Regards

TwinAdk

EDIT: Okay, that was quick.. I stripped GFE of EVERY SINGLE permission. This caused it to FC on me the first time. The dump report revealed it needed the WAKE_LOCK permission, so i granted it that and retried.. On the second launch, it returned to my launcher as we have seen before...

In fact, i find this behaviour unacceptable, as my company has NOT decided against Xposed, rooting, etc, and a company could for all we know depend on both GFE and Xposed (unlikely, yes, impossible, no). But GFE seems to be dead set against opening up when Xposed is active.

Would it be possible to intercept and block the return to launcher call to android? Just to see where it gets us? This would require a module, i know.

Okay, i read up on another thread, and found this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53198439&postcount=833

It states the following:

Provided this information, i downloaded the 2.4 release of GFE, instead of the 2.5 from Google Play Store - and it just works.

After uninstalling 2.5, rebooting and installing 2.4, i can open up GFE with Xposed fully enabled. I also have the GFE Patcher module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.phantasm.xposed.gfesecuritypatcher) installed, just in case.. even though my company does not block root.

Summa summarum - It seems we can call off the witch hunt, and conclude that its a bug in 2.5 of GFE causing the issues.

Also, the GFE Patch module seems to work for people with root, and in the thread where i found the bug-info, people are reporting that 2.5 of GFE works, when installed on top of 2.4, via playstore. This is however not the case for me, 2.5 still returns to launcher.

[MENTION=5258659]revo89[/MENTION], thank you for all your time and effort in this matter, and once again, thank you for the xposed framework as a whole, its is a truly amazing piece of art, and my phone is not my phone without it! :good::good:
