[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
Though, I, personally, prefer using the Play Store version just prior to the new layout (v6.9.15G-all), I had thought that the latest Play Store Changelog Module v1.3.2 still worked on the latest Play Store version.

I'm really am not a fan of the layout of the newer Play Store and I'm not sure even if [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] is still actively supporting this module but, i could be wrong.

If this module is still being supported, then I can only assume that [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] only updates this module on an "as needed" or even by "popular demand"...

Am I correct in this [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION]?

Huh? As stated countless times in this thread, this module's "Show the full changelog" function works fine with all known Play Store versions from 5.0.31 on up, including your 7.8.16 and the current 8.0.*.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kzyw:
Do not open the playstore on the panel ... MY APPS .... My mobile runs MM S7 Edge

Any idea bro?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
That's a separate issue unrelated to the "Show the full changelog" main function of this module, and it has been addressed many times in this thread. Search for previous answers but by far the easiest way to directly get to the "My Apps" screen is to let the Play Store create a shortcut for that panel (long press the Play Store icon).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
I assumed so too but, I just took another quick look within the XPosed Installer and did notice something that was kind of odd...

I notice that the Modules description does, in fact, state for Play Store v5.0.31 & Higher...

...when I took a look at the information for the Module v1.3.2 changes (aka Changelog), it does state that it was updated for the latest Play Store v6.8.24.F and v6.9.15.G (I'm sure that v6.9.15.G was the latest one at the time).

I'm not stating that the Module won't work or hasn't worked for any of the later Play Store versions.

The Developer should, at least, update the description to something like:

"for Play Store v5.0.31 - v6.9.15.G (possibly later versions)"

Or something in that realm of verbiage...

I, personally, believe that the Play Store version "discrepancy" can throw an individual off a bit.

I had also found that the Module Description, within the XPosed Installer, does have the Github "Source" link but, the releases stop at v1.1.2 that was dated from about 3 years ago (2014) but, the Module does reflect changes/updates from about the time the last version was released (2016). This also can throw an individual off too.

I, personally, feel that If the Developer is no longer releasing the newer versions within Github, why doesn't the Github Description/Readme reflect this and provide that information with a link to the F-Droid, XPosed Website, etc...

It's weird that I really never noticed this before until a few members here brought it up... THANKS ALLOT... LMAO :)

Perhaps you didn't notice that [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] hasn't visited this site in months. If you have issues with his GitHub contents you may want to try to contact him there, but I believe he stepped away from this module a while back. Realistically, what matters is that we have a FREE module that conveniently shows the full changelog under any Play Store version from 5.x on and seems to work fine for most people. If you are dissatisfied with its performance, the options seem to be either write a better module or simply quit using the module. ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Poppeye0:
Or close this thread as only third parties comment here anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Only the OP could close this thread but even if he were still active there would be no good reason to deprive users of a convenient place to review previous exchanges or ask for assistance. Other Devs, RCs, and knowledgeable users routinely help provide support when needed in the spirit of the XDA community.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Poppeye0:
If the thread were closed it would finally break the circle of asking the same question and giving the same answer over and over again. People might actually start to read.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DB126:
Highly unlikely based on member behavior observed in dozens of XDA threads and likely hundreds/thousands of others. Closing the thread would cut off the Q&A mechanism for those who wish to utilize the *primary* function of this module which continues to work as designed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] riedenthied:
It seems that the primary function is broken in Play Store 8.1.25.

8.0.74 is fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DB126:
Still working here on 8.1.25.S-all installed/updated on Aug 4th. Same variant as shown on APKmirror. To be clear the "primary function" of this app is to display the complete change log included in the Play Store description vs. just the first few lines. Launching to the app section of the Google Play Store is a secondary function that stopped working some time ago.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-8-1-25-release/
[Xposed Framework Modules] riedenthied:
Yes, that's the Play Store apk I tried. Sesame Shortcuts' changelog had some lines too less. Now I'm back on 8.0.74 and everything looks good again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DB126:
Interesting - not seeing that (yet) on app updates with longer change logs. Will continue to monitor. That said, given developer is no longer active rolling back the Play Store to an earlier version is a temporary measure at best.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
I'm not sure why it makes a difference but, I know a friend of mine who's currently using the latest Play Store and is able to use this module too and also has Nougat.

I think that this module is working (for some reason) on the newer Play Store versions for some individuals and not for others.

It's a weird thing... :confused:

It seems to work fine here with Play Store 8.1.25.S (custom MM ROM), but keep in mind that 8.1.x versions are

preview

releases and may or may not have a few oddities and buglets unrelated to this module. Behavior may also vary depending on which Xposed framework is installed. Specifically, Nougat versions are still highly experimental. Your Xposed log may contain some useful clues. That said, the bottom line is that if this module work for you it's great but if it doesn't work, you can simply quit using it. I has already had a long life and we all know that it can't last forever... ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] DB126:
:

Unfortunately, the behavior first reported by [MENTION=6870372]riedenthied[/MENTION] has now manifested on one of my Android 6.x devices following a reboot. Will wait it out for a few weeks to see if functionality returns following the next incremental Play Store update. Kinda sad but not unexpected. It has been a nice run for this module that has not seen a significant update since mid-2016.
[Xposed Framework Modules] incognitonk:
This module was too good to be true. I only used it for a few days before it stopped working (after the play store update) but MAN was it fun! Hope the developer continues his work on it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Sorry for not updating in such a long time. I lost drive in developing Xposed modules since I didn't use Xposed myself anymore. (reasons: most features are in Android included nowadays and always wanting to use the latest Android versions)

I will look into giving this an update in the future (will take at least 2 weeks before I have time). So I have a question for you guys, what did I miss since the last update? I don't feel like reading a dozen of pages, so I'd appreciate a quick summary.

I think the 'go to installed apps' feature could be removed, since we now have launcher shortcuts (and it's a pain to maintain) and I assume auto-refresh is broken? I will at least fix its main feature. Any comments?

[MENTION=4343728]Mike B.[/MENTION] thanks for keeping everyone updated in the time being, the real MVP!

You are correct

Damn thanks for stepping up

It's been kept open for this exact reason :cool:

Mind telling which version broke it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] incognitonk:
I updated from 8.0.27 to 8.1.25. That's when it broke. It's still broken in 8.1.27, although that is to be expected since is didn't work on 8.1.25.

Thank you for saying you'll continue working on this.

Your module is marvellous. I was only able to use it for a few days and I miss it dearly now.
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
And by the way, anyone willing to create a material design icon for this module? The app could use some material love.
[Xposed Framework Modules] terrorist96:
Up until very recently, the Display Full Changelog feature was working (while the Change default Lane to my apps has been broken for months). But now the full Changelog feature is also broken. Play store version 8.1.30

Is launcher shortcuts something available on nougat and above? I don't think I have that on marshmallow. Marshmallow is still the highest supported (officially) OS for xposed.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
[MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION], the "Auto refresh Installed Apps list [BETA]" option does indeed refresh the Installed apps list but, also auto refreshes the "ALL" apps list as well.

Having a large list within the "ALL" apps list, if I've scrolled down anywhere (or even to the end) and enter one of the apps for a moment and then hit my back button to the list again, it auto refreshes again back to the top.

I know that it states "[BETA]" but, if you're interested in keeping/pursuing this option, then I'm just providing you some feedback for it.

Thank you very much for your time and development!

Anyone try the new update?
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
1.4.0 released

The update can be downloaded from Xposed Installer.

I'm sorry I haven't updated this module for so long. I don't use Xposed myself anymore, so I only found out recently it was broken. Because I don't use Xposed (and thus this module), I'm maintaining this module solely for the Xposed/XDA community, so I hope you appreciate this (late) update.

Changelog:

Play Store v8.1.25 up to v8.3.42 compatibility (latest versions as of writing)

Nougat compatible

Removed Auto Refresh feature: it required too much work, use the refresh button instead

Removed default to My Apps feature: it required too much maintenance, use App Shortcuts instead

Removed hide launcher icon feature: the compiler didn't like it anymore, hide it in your launcher instead

If you're enjoying this module, donations are highly appreciated. :)

Please report what you think about this module and what improvements you would like to see.

Everyone thanks for the feedback you gave!

I would like to first thank you very much for your time and support for this AWESOME module [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION]!

What happened to the option to hide the module in the app drawer?

It's not a big deal but, it was a good feature because I set the settings up and just leave it. Then if I needed to do anything different (i rarely ever do), i just enter the module via the XPosed Installer app.

Just wondering... :)

Forth bullet in this post as discussed numerous times in this thread. There are countless alternatives from Nova to Android (6+) to a handful of apps that allow you to build your own 'shortcut'. XDA search is your friend. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
Thanks for your comment, comments like these are the reason I still put time in it!

The trick I used for this threw an error while building the APK, even though it always used to work. I could've worked around it, but that would be annoying for users currently using this feature. Most launchers support hiding apps (in contrast to when I added the feature), so I thought it wasn't worth it anymore. Yours may too, which launcher do you use?

Technical explanation

The trick was to use an Activity-Alias for the main Activity. The alias was shown in the launcher and the real activity was started from Xposed. The setting used to disable the alias and thus hiding the icon from the launcher, while still being able start the original activity from the Xposed app. The Android toolchain used to allow dashes in alias-names, however it now complains about the dash being an illegal character in Java class names. The alias isn't a Java class, which is why it used to work, but for some reason they added this check in the compiler that forbids it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
I understand completely. It's not a problem at all...

As long as the module works, I'm a happy supporter of yours. :D

Whoops!! I misread your inquiry. My apologies, [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]. I obviously thought you were referring to another feature. Alas, basic literacy is not a personal strong point.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
P1nGu1n_ : Welcome back!

A reminder to our users that starting about a year or so ago, Play Store doesn't need any special trickery or external app to create a shortcut to the "My Apps" tab. A long press on the Play Store icon will give you that option and should work with many common launchers. If you need details, don't ask, simply search this thread.

A dev who maintains and updates a FREE app that he doesn't use himself deserves our thanks, best expressed with a donation!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ibuprophen:
I had removed my last post and I do apologize if it came out in the wrong light. If it did then that was purely unintentional.

Creating and removing Shortcuts are very easy to do and that one specific feature removed within the module itself was not a big deal. I was just inquiring about it in case it was accidentally overlooked and it was not.

On my Next Launcher, i can hide and create Shortcuts within the app drawer so all is well.

Take care my friend! :)

Though, there's nothing wrong with reporting an issue on the thread but, some developers have their developments on Github (like this one), they also like to have it reported there too.

I'm not sure if [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION] is one of those developers who does want or prefer issues submitted there.

If you want, you can go to the following link...

I would do it for you but, I would be unable to answer any further questions regarding this issue.

Thank you for your reply, I love reading messages like this :)

There's no reason this module would cause FB Messenger to behave like that, this is a tiny module that only modifies the Play Store. Maybe it was just coincidence?

Would it be possible to add an option to change default review ordering from 'most useful' to 'most recent'?

It would make your module complete from my perspective :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] mythos_:
The new module works great. Thanks for updating it.

However I have one minor issue that also existed before. When I open the xposed installed, go to download and click on playstore changelog, xposed installer crashes. This happens only with this module (current and previous versions). In my case I had to update it manually because of this. Not a big issue but I thought I should report it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DB126:
This may be device/framework dependent. I do not experience this issue on three different devices running Android 5.1, 6.x and 7.1 with corresponding "official" frameworks. Changelog v1.4.0; Xposed installer v3.1.2.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mythos_:
It probably is since it hasn't been reported by anyone. Unfortunately there's nothing mentioned in the xposed log (even though I enabled debugging) so I can't offer any more info other than it's on a OnePlus One with Marshmallow Cyanogen Mod (last stable).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mr.Zombie:
Hello dev. Currently using Nexus 6P DU Rom 7.1.2.

Immediately installed your mod after flashing xposed. It's not working and then I saw an update hoping a fix. But still not working. Any idea why?

I still need to press "Read More" for full changelog. Hmm :confused:

Log attached for you to check out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
From a cursory glance, there doesn't seem to be any reference to this module in the log you posted. Are you positive it is loaded and active? Are ALL of your other modules loading and behaving correctly? Since the Nougat Xposed situation is still a bit shaky, verifying that you have the correct framework and installer may be wise.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mr.Zombie:
Dang it. I disabled and enabled it again. It works now. Weird! Thanks for your reply! :silly:
[Xposed Framework Modules] FlemishDroid:
I used your module for years until there was no xposed anymore for Nougat. Now I tried your module but when it's enabled FB Messenger always hangs while typing a word. I updated Messenger but still no luck so the only thing I can do is disabling this module until this is fixed. I post a log tomorrow.

[Xposed Framework Modules] P1nGu1n_:
We need a logcat, without one nobody can help you

This is the second report I got from a lagging FB Messenger after enabling this module. I really don't get how this module could cause it, this is a tiny mod only touching the Play Store :confused:

Does anybody else have an idea? Because I don't have a clue...

Overigens, altijd leuk om hier een zuiderbuur tegen te komen ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] FlemishDroid:
I also found it strange but after disabling module Messenger works again normal. After enabling module again Messenger is laggy and after typing 1 word it hangs and I need to fc it.

Hey noorderbuur. [emoji3]

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Redmi Note 4X met Tapatalk
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
The best way to solve the mystery would to to examine any logs (system and Xposed) active at the time of the "hang". I assume that you have other Xposed modules active and not just this one, and that you have the correct framework and installer for your device/ROM. Have you tried to activate the module but WITHOUT checking its "Display full changelog" option, with and without enabling the "Debugging" option, rebooting after each change for most accurate results? Glancing at [MENTION=5122600]P1nGu1n_[/MENTION]'s code, it hard to imagine a scenario that would cause this module to actively interfere with anything Messenger is doing, but then I have no idea which evils lurk in Messenger's internals

EDIT:

In a bout of masochistic fervor, I decided to try this for myself. I downloaded and installed Facebook Messenger (141.0.0.31.76 beta) to my Marshmallow (arm, API 23) phone with Xposed (87.1) loaded and this module active with "Display full changelog" enabled. Launching Messenger and typing a message showed NO problem whatsoever. However, it simply invoked my default keyboard (SwiftKey 6.6.9.32) with my default language as expected and I'm wondering if the reported lags are not keyboard-specific. If you experience Messenger woes, please try a different keyboard and report your findings (with appropriate logs if possible). I immediately removed that Messenger monstrosity afterwards, of course... ;)
