yeah, I don't have issues on mine with the pen either. Honestly, immediately after I put mine on I thought it felt really "draggy" with my finger. But I wiped it off with the cleaning cloth and it was absolutely fine after that. I'm guessing there is something remaining as residual from the films that the protector is encased in prior to installing it. Once it gets wiped off, it's a non-issue.

Here is what I have for reference:

I used my phone with the factory plastic on the screen for over 2 weeks because I didn't want to scratch it before getting a tempered glass cover. So... 2 weeks with that original plastic film (yuck). My wife's S5 has a tempered glass cover. So I know what to compare it to as far as feel. The HDX definitely isn't getting as finger printy as that stock plastic thing.

I was waiting for glass but it just go to where it was looking like I was going to be waiting a long time. The HDX along with the Samsung case is about as close to naked as I want the phone to be. And I *think* it'll still click into a holster made for the naked phone. I might be trying it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
I guess YMMV. I have two note 4's one with the iloome and the Zagg on the other. The clarity is not the same plain and simple. And there are definitely tracks from the pen. I wrote hard and normal. As I said most trails resolved but there are definitely some residual ones. I didn't get a phone with a pen to be conscious of how hard I write. Having something that limits the use takes away from user experience. Not interested in that. To those happy with the HDX great! I bought it to give it a shot with hopes that it would solve all of the issues with others. Bottom line is plastic with pen = poor experience in my opinion. [emoji106]

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
So your recommendation is iloome?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
[emoji115] If you're between the iloome and the Zagg HDX I would say yes. But the iloome is glass and the Zagg is plastic composite. They provide two different experiences. If you want a protector that may take more hits before needing to be warranty replaced the Zagg may be better. If looks and feel are more important than the iloome is better.

Aha.. It is spare tips in that bag! I've been wondering about them. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
I see that the HDX is only non-glass screen protector suitable for the Note 4 since the cut is perfect, no lifting, and is the same thickness as regular PET film. Still worth the $13 dollars I spent on Black Friday
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] smooth703:
Rocking the hdx until my iloome can come in from amazon
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Keep us posted. l like how the HDX reaches further down than the tempered glass. I should be able to use the Otterbox Defender Series case (with its built in Screen Protector) and HDX together.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Just put mine side by side and the iloome and the HDX both end at the same point at the bottom. Nearly identical cut on the bottom where the capacitive and home buttons are.

Interesting, that means the iLoome provides better coverage than even the Zagg Glass

Yes its larger. Not much wider, but longer at the bottom.

I was told by the Zagg Rep yesterday, that the Zagg HDX has self-healing properties, the fine lines produced by the S-Pen disappears after 24 hours or so.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Most do but you had better write lightly. The very first thing I wrote was my name and it is still there after three days on my wife's. Doesn't affect the use, just looks like [emoji90] . I didn't write overly hard. This may not bother some but I'm OCD and it drives me nuts. [emoji33]

I understand, I prefer clean spink and span screen protectors as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Here is my HDX Installed, I don't really like how it does not go edge-to-edge. Will probably install a regular screen protector as the base with a tempered glass on top. The base protector will compensate the halo. It might be a silly idea due to amount of light transmittance, but I'll do my best to protect this baby, unless someone else has a better idea.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
No problems here with pen
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Josborne6:
Iloome and HDX are the same width. They stop at the black border of the amoled screen. Both will leave a gap between your case and the protector. As far as between the two, do you prefer a softer feel or glassier feel. They both are without halo.

[emoji115] [emoji106] No corner lift here. Two phones. Can't base purchases on a few peoples experience. Recent forum members have had success as well. Zagg left trails from the S-Pen and wasn't as clear. Had a HDX and iloome on each of my Notes and did a side by side comparison. Another satisfied user,

Here is an updated pic at over two weeks. Quality sucks cause im using an old lenovo tab but you can see there isnt any halo or lifting. Ill post some better pics later with higher quality.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] eksoccer99:
Their experience helps bc I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on screen protectors (6, 10-40$ ea.), of different manufactors when there's inconsistent curved screen variants. Rather spend my money elsewhere. Common sense.

No spen trail here. Very sensitive to the stock tip. Pressing too hard maybe? my guess is you'll say no.

Has anyone experienced this weird effect at the top and bottom edges with the zagg hdx? I installed mine today, gone on absolutely perfect apart from what looks like little pockets of water/air (it isn't either) at the top and bottom edges. It's not like the halo effect at the screen protector is stuck at the edge so these are like pockets of something. I've emailed zagg to see what they say.

You can't see it that we'll unfortunately on the pictures

So you didn't have to go through the hassle of sending your old one back? Are you in the USA? I'm in the UK and I find I'm always dealing with advisors in the states, zagg seem to have zero uk presence. The stuff I have ordered seems to ship from a warehouse in Ireland.

What protector are your using now on your Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
Zagg have actually emailed me and said they have acknowledged and fixed an issue with the halo effect on the HDX screen protectors! Lol

I personally think this was an example of their rubbish and inconsistent customer service though and as soon as I mentioned halo "type" effect, they just jumped on the zagg "GLASS" halo band wagon. I think dealing with this companies customer service reps is nothing shy of complete torture.

My advice to anyone is to email the CEO email address on the website, much more expedient and customer focused service from them and they are quick to put right the rubbish customer service experienced from the normal email address.

I have exactly the same bubbles on top and bottom. At first I wasn't sure if I had somehow installed it wrong. Then I just didn't pay attention to them. Now as I read, I should've asked for a replacement? Also, I am having serious issues with the Spen now. It is barely moving on it, feels like it is glued to the screen. Should I use a spare tip for the pen or ask for a warranty replacement from Zagg?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
Truth behold. I think better we all buy the Spigen Crystal HD and move on. By the time we find something convincing, the Note 5 would have already succeeded the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
I think I'm fortunate that I don't use my Spen all that much else I too would have this issue.

I would say to anyone thinking of going zagg in a country where there are no fitting stations, don't bother as there customer service is terrible when dealing via email. They don't seem to have a clue about their products half the time.

Totally agree with the comment regarding spigen crystal. First screen protector I put on and biggest mistake taking it off! Lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] arjun90:
If I had to choose between the HDX and Glass, it would be the HDX. The Zagg HDX is compatible with most cases and has self-healing properties.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] smacsteve:
Another non-tempered glass alternative...

I just browsed this thread and I didn't see anyone mention this brand, so if you haven't tried the Tech21 Impactology screen protectors... I highly recommend it over the Zagg HDX. I've had both and the problem I had with the Zagg HDX was it being too rubbery when using the S-Pen and it dragging. The Tech21 is actually so close to glass it's more rigid like glass when held between your fingers! It is also much more resistant to damage via impact. It uses BASF technology that the company uses in it's bullet proof glass. I've only been able to order it from Tech21 though as I've found nobody that carries it in retail stores. Not even T-Mobile, who is responsible for introducing Tech21 to the US from what I've heard.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
I used tech21 on my note 3 mate, brilliant stuff. I also used a tech21 case, in fact I have on all my phone's for as long as I can remember. I'm going tech 21 next then I think. I can't believe what a problem this curved screen is proving to be for manufacturers of glass screen protectors lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bond32:
+1 for the spigen. Got mine in today, $10 on eBay and was delivered in one day free shipping. So far I like it. It's truly like it isn't there and it doesn't really feel bad at all. I'll see how it holds up but so far seems better than glass protectors.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] crash_194:
I think the bubbles type things we are seeing around the edge is just a slight seperation of the multiple layers in the screen protector caused when it is cut to shape. Nothing to worry about really if it doesn't bother you. Mine certainly hasn't got any worse and I am quite impressed with this screen protector despite zaggs amateurish customer service. It is holding up well so far.

Hi,

Having issues with setting preferred SIM on individual contacts? It seems to remember when I set SIM 2 for some time, but then everything just defaults back to SIM 1, regardless of which SIM that contact usually calls in on. All of my contacts are either on Google sync or Exchange sync.

Anyone else? I'm on stock ROM v1.72.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
I have the exact same problem. Came here searching for a solution after two weeks ago I put a second SIM into my Z7 mini. Although I select SIM 2 as default communication card and I select the switch in all contacts to card 2 it stucks to card 1 and ignores all the settings. Only disabling card 1 lets me call with the second card.

In my case I have a Z7 mini with stock ROM 1.76

Has anyone found a solution for this?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] csholmq:
Yes. Apparently one of the apps for my workplace insisted on synching all contacts every 24h. I fixed it by exporting all contacts to my Google account and the problem disappeared.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
Not an option for me :( Actually I have to set card 1 and card 2 back and forth for every contact until I see that I'm calling with the proper card. Either that or disable one card, call and re-enable it and re-set all card configuration. Not the way it should be but...

[Xposed General] Scary Guy:
So I look through the built in repo and I install a lot of things on my old phone to play with. However on the primary I only use FOSS. If a module doesn't have a git page then I don't install it.

I was thinking it would be neat if someone maintained a separate F-Droid repo specifically for xposed modules which are open source. Since xposed itself is open source you could have that on there as well.

It'd be nicer if there was a filter option in the program itself but I'm sure the devs are busy and the above would just be easier.
[Xposed General] pyler:
Maybe it is possible to add "Open source modules" in Sort mode (in Xposed Installer -> Download). It will simply check if Source link for module is not empty.

Who can take this idea and contribute this feature to Xposed? :)
[Xposed General] E--Man:
Waking up this thread. I would also really like to have a structured list of modules which are open source for security reasons. Is this available anywhere yet?
[Xposed General] pyler:
Maybe we can get "repo db" and look for source code field. But "in app implementation" is prefered. [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]
[Xposed General] E--Man:
Where could we obtain the DB with those fields? I would never install any closed-source modules on my devices. Doing so is absolutely ludicrous in my opinion.

Also, is there a list of verified and trusted (by [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] or someone alike) Xposed modules anywhere?

This is a very important topic...

Thanks,

E.
[Xposed General] rovo89:
See https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/issues/249

The information about the source code URL is available in the repository XML file already and could easily be read be the installer. The issue is up for grabbing. I would appreciate a quick outline if the intended implementation though, so I can intervent regarding architectural decisions before someone writes a lot of code. :)

I can't give any "trust" recommendations for any but my own modules. It would mean that I would have to analyse the complete source code, verify that the APK actually matches that source code and repeat these steps for every new versions.
[Xposed General] pyler:
Well, if module is open source, anybody can check code so I think there is almost zero chance for malwares or so...

Closed sourced and obfuscated modules are the worst ones. Avoid them. They can do basically everything in background and user knows nothing.

So any skilled dev who is able to create new filter in Xposed Installer for open source modules here? It could be good addition.
[Xposed General] GuestK00280:
Really?..

Anybody can check sources, but who will?..

And can you trust their results?..

FOSS can be riddled with exploits like Heartbleed for years, and no one will notice anything. There are even competitions on hiding malicious code inside innocent one...

Only a small number of experienced and skilled developers will be able to find such malware, and believe me - 99% of them don't waste their time on reading, understanding and checking for exploits the sources of all software they use...
[Xposed General] E--Man:
[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION], thanks for responding to this thread.

I am just wondering if anyone has any updates on the development of an Open Source repository.

Also, I feel that it would also be helpful if we had some sort of a "Developer Trust Rating" as well as a "Code Reviewer" status to ensure that the code of a particular module (or even revision if someone volunteers to take it that far) is both safe and/or that the code has been inspected.

Without this, installing modules on devices means we could be installing software that can be as malicious as it can get.

Lastly, where can I download the XML file that lists XPosed modules along with the "source code URL", and how can I validate that the source code in the URL matches that of the XPosed module itself?

Thanks.
[Xposed General] rovo89:
That's a nice vision, but I doubt that you will find enough people to actually do this who you trust and who would be willing to take the responsibility.

Check the source code of the installer for the URL, I don't remember it. But there is no way you can check an APK and find out whether it's built from a certain source. That would only be possible if the developer gave the source code to a trusted party, who would compile it and sign it with their keys. If you trust that third party AND inspect the source code, then you can be sure that it's not malicous. That's F-Droid's model, as far as I know.
[Xposed General] E--Man:
Hello there my Russian friend. I will respectfully disagree with you on this point and I will explain why. Right here on XDA, we have many highly-skilled developers who are the authors of countless lines of code translating into ROMs, modules, enhancements, etc. Much (if not all) of these projects are free to distribute and created as a contribution to the community. In other words, to ask "who will check sources" is the same thing as asking "who will create custom ROMs for people?" or "who will create invaluable/indispensable modules such as XPosed?" or even the general question of "why would someone do this for free?".

It is evident that all of these exist already and that people do indeed contribute, so coupled with the fact that the XDA community is over 5 million members in size, I think there will be developers who may be interested.

The only reason I can see someone not supporting this is if they have an interest not to do so, such as being the author of a closed-source (or open-source) malicious module.
