Gather around the campfire.......

So, I have to make a comment, but first there's back-story to provide (Yea, Ramer's gonna tell us a story!) Anyway, back in the mid 90's I was a repair tech for Iomega Corp. They made the Zip and Jaz drives that at the time was the next best thing besides sliced breat. I was responsible for monitoring and repairing the "Verifier" drives that verified all the sectors on the zip cartridge. I used to have one production worker, that no matter which bank of drives he was assigned to, they started to fail. I watched him closely, no excessive force with the cartridge/drive. But yet they always failed. When he'd take a lunch break they would work perfectly.

I have no scientific proof of this, but I'm convinced that some people should not be around electonics as they just have this aura that causes electonics to fail.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
Exactly what I thought. Why would I need to install from that screen if I already installed the apk? But when I went into Amplify after rebooting, it said xposed was not installed and to go to framework screen and press install. The top part of that screen is in green so not sure what the issue is. Will pick up again tomorrow when I'm not dozing off. Thanks for your help! [emoji106]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Sounds like you need a pickmeup. Serving up right now. Name your poisan and let do a vertual ID check....

Reminds me of a similar experience I have, though indirectly. Here's another story.

In the '80s I worked at a small, independent startup PC company named DataSource. There were a dozen of us in the company, mostly sales people, plus me and one other tech. We sold, serviced & customized IBM & IBM compatible PCs. This is the company I got my IT / hacking (old school) start with.

Anyway, we had this business account, and they bought all their computer stuff from us. The had a secretary who went through keyboards & monitors like they were made of tissue paper. We replaced over a dozen keyboards, and 5 or 6 monitors for her-- all under warranty, and none of them with any obvious signs of abuse. She was actually a very careful, gentle & conscientious user. But somehow she could kill a monitor or keyboard just by sitting near them. She swore that at least once she had literally just sat down in her chair and the display tube popped loudly, and went dead.

So my coworker, great guy named Phil, and definitely light years more knowledgeable than I was by dint of an his applied computer science and processor architecture bachelor's degree, and an electrical engineer master's degree. So Phil got fed up with scoping the monitors & keyboards trying to find the root cause for all the transistors & tubes she kept blowing.

Phil was sure she was somehow generating 50 to 100s of volts of static, but he could figure out how. He had her try wearing only cotton clothes for a couple weeks, didn't make a difference. He had her wear an antistatic wrist strap clipped to the metal leg of her chair. Didn't help. He installed out of his own pocket two grounded, antistatic floor mats, one under her desk and the other under her chair. Didn't matter.

So then he decided to go to her office before she arrived in the morning and watch her routine to see if there was some single, unconscious thing she did that caused all the failures. The first day was a bust, other than he developed a massive obsession with her. She came to lunch with us, and she was lovely, smart, polite, and just a perfect dream to eat & talk with. She was tall, well built & proportioned, long, long fine blonde hair. Dressed to kill, but not dressed overkill.

We finished lunch, I went back to DataSource, and she & Phil went back to her office. 10 minutes after I got back to the office, Phil called with the root cause and the final, extremely low tech solution.

As soon as the got back to her desk, she bent forward to slide her chair under desk to begin typing. As she did so, her long, fine hair flowed forward onto her keyboard. Then she sat down and flipped her hair over her head brushing the ends across the keyboard then up the front of her display before flipping it back over her head. Just as she did so, the keyboard crackled & quit working, then a second later her monitor blew and then the tube made all her hair float around her Head

Phil went to Walgreen's & returned with a package of hair binders. Problem solved.

Edit: Derp. I fell asleep while typing the word "binders", but somehow managed to hit "post".

Okay....so Nova is pretty darn sweet! It had been a while since I had used it....since my S3 lol. I should check back on stuff more often. The only bummer is now I've lost my two most important widgets, AccuWeather (stock widget) and Splanner widgets. Anyway...any nifty tricks or things to know about Nova [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION]?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I mentioned Weather Live with SS in the FAQ. Yesterday afternoon.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
Sorry ramer, just seeing this. Was unconscious about 1 min after my last post last night. Will have to take a raincheck. [emoji1]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
This is weird. I was sober and I don't spell like that :confused:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
Hmmn .......

Well after settling last night and rebooting a multitude of times, xposed is working now. [emoji106] Glad I checked again before starting over.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
What is xposed good for with Greenify?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
More features that require Xposed and/or the donate version. Tap settings in Greenify.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
You need it to access all the experimental features. Some you get automatically, some require Xposed. On a side note....I am up and running on Xposed! Working greaatttttt
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
Check it out!

Its so pretty too lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
Which features do y'all suggest
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
This is how I have mine set up
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I have everything checked except "Greenify System Apps" I'm getting about 4-5 days before I'm recharging the battery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] greogory:
I use the module to disable the "Clear Defaults" nag screen. I also use "YourTube", "YouTube AdAway" and "XInstaller". Those are the only ones I've installed since tge Xposed fix for Samsung was released.

I used to use Wanam and Gravity Box, but most of the settings I'd adjust with them can be done in MOAR.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
Hey you can't say nothing, you have an extended battery lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Lol, I tried ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Check the last update date on the mods, if they haven't been updated since 2014, be careful.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
That's what I do. Order it by recently updated
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
One thing I have noticed and I don't think it was like this previously is that you select a mod but then have to reboot before seeing it in the mod list and then select and then reboot for it to be active. Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't remember having to reboot 2x before being able to use the mod. Once you downloaded it, it was automatically in the mod list, you selected and then rebooted and were good to go.

Sent from my SM-G900P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Which mod? Most, if not all mods that I use will show up in the mod list after downloading. After I check it, some mods let me see the settings (and change them) but won't be enabled until reboot. I can't think of any that requires 2 reboots.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
The only mods I saw right away were greenify and secure settings. They were there automatically as soon as I clicked on modules. Two other ones I downloaded were amplify and xblast. After installing I went to modules page and they did not show. After rebooting, they were there but I had to check them to activate which then required the 2nd reboot. Once you are finished installing, do you open from there? Maybe that is the issue. Will try that next time. On another note, am sad to report the quick unlock feature in xblast no longer works. [emoji20] [emoji26]

Sent from my SM-G900P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Nope, I go to the module page too. Probably just a quirk. Just like for me, even though I've side loaded Ad-away, many times after a reboot, it's gone from the app drawer but it's still in my folder on my Nova launcher. No clue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] gargleblarg:
You just made my whole day.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
Just be careful of the mods you download. The older ones prolly won't work with lollipop.

And this is just my opinion but with MOAR, Xposed doesn't carry that much weight. Most of the really cool mods, and again, just my opinion, are already included with MOAR. MOAR is just too damn cool!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I can see it's going to be important to ask if someone is using Xposed when troubleshooting a user saying their getting FC's on this or that app. I started getting FC's on the Amazon Appstore and sure enough, as soon as I turn off the last two mods I installed (Native Clipboard and Waze something or other) the FC's stopped.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Agreed. I've looked at all the mods, don't need Wanam or anything like that anymoar. Besides Greenify, the only other mod I now have is Notify Clean.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
I see what you did there lol. That's what I was feeling as well. Maybe in the future but for now it like "okay, I've got Xposed." What's next lol...oh yeah...VVVVVV444444AAAAAAA! The thorn in my phone
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I've been thinking about your V4A problem and think I have a solution for you.

a) Cut off your ears.

b) Use earplugs so you can't appreciate the sound difference.

c) Duct tape a flip phone to an expensive portable music system.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
I'm throwing tomatoes at you right now, should see them any min
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Are you the one causing this lightning and thunder that just started?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
Who here uses amplify? How good is it and how do you use it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] gargleblarg:
Definitely. I've had some bad results when I was on kitkat, sometimes they weren't immediate so it took some painful trial and error. Never got the Hodor mod to work...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I think [MENTION=5177113]andee39[/MENTION] mentioned it yesterday. I just tried it (from Playstore) and it tells you xposed isn't installed. I unistalled it. Also just found this link that may be handy: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3075257
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] andee39:
In agreement with you guys. The only mod I was looking forward to was the quick unlock and unfortunately it does not work. [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] was kind enough to see if he could get the MOAR version to work on LP but so far no luck. I was also hoping to find some goodies ala the missing link but no luck there either. [emoji20]

[MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION], I use amplify and to be honest I can't really explain it. I just fiddled around with the wakelock settings. They do give you some guidance on what wakelock settings are safe to touch and what to leave alone. I did find it to be useful. I had previously used better battery stats but I couldn't get it to work with lp.

LOL. That was the issue I was having when it said you had to install xposed manually in recovery even though I installed the apk. Checked again this morning and it was fine.

Sent from my SM-G900P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Wakelock Detector with Greenify keeps me happy! To go off-topic on our off-topic, there's not a lot of love going on regarding the Samsung Xposed. Starting at post #12. Everyone might want to make sure you've got your copy backed up somewhere, should the links go down.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
Weird. Mine doesn't say that. I don't know how it works yet...still trying to figure it out

[MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION] I have a question, a rather noobish one, about backups :) Mainly because I never use them and the few times I have something hasn't gone right. I want to change that, soooo

1. When doing a nandroid backup, what partitions should you backup and is data necessary?

2. When restoring a backup, do you have to go back to stock first, then flash a custom recovery back, then restore the backup?

Any input would be much appreciated! TIA!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I'm glad you asked. A good backup has gotten me out of more trouble. I only use KT TWRP (same as regular TWRP for all intents and purposes)

1. When I do a nanoid, I backup EVERY partition except the modem. It's been my experience that my backup's would fail when the modem was backed up and anyway, you should never lose the modem anyway.

2. This is why a nanoid backup is sooooo handy. As long as you have TWRP installed (if, for some reason the phone is so borked that you lose TWRP, just odin TWRP back to phone and proceed. When you restore your nanoid, you are restoring EVERYTHING to the exact stage it was in when you did your nanoid. The only thing you lose is the 15 minutes or so that it takes you to do the restore.

PS: Starting doing backups. You can probably solve your V4A problem, by doing a nanoid. Then do a clean install and only get V4A working. If it doesn't work, just restore your backup and you lost nothing. OTOH, if V4A works, then you know you've got some conflict with some app/driver on your current setup.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jhuff83:
Just a heads up if anyone has the Xposed Module. Don't install Xprivacy or you will get a bootloop. I had to dirty flash MOAR to fix that issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
Thank you buddy, how VERY helpful!

Do you have to go back to stock before restoring a back up? [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Nope. Are you familiar with an image backup? Same thing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
Cool. And I am not sir?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
lol, Sir? My parents were married (Old Navy joke). An image backup on a PC is sector by sector backup. Pretty much the same thing on android. But more importantly, I've got a live one in the Q&A!! I love it when I get attitude from someone on their 42nd post. lol

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] chefbaker11:
On a better note...got V4A working. Had to do a clean install of MOAR...but i suppose if its working now....something must of been wrong with my old set up. Back to scatch for now...but ill be back to the darksyde soon enough:)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] zune70:
Can anyone make a like a lost of xposed molecules that works with the s5 without getting into a bootloop or us there one already?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] greogory:
It's all trial & error really, and reading previous posts by those of us who posted which ones we've tried with & without problems, of course. Eventually one of us-- maybe you, even!-- might be able to post a comprehensive list. But no one person is likely to try more than a few, since we all have different wants.

Using these methods I know that "disable clear defaults", and the most recent versions of YourTube, YouTube Tweaker, Xinstaller and BubbleUPnP all work, and that XPrivacy does not. I also read elsewhere that the latest Wanam suite works on the S5, but I also know that it doesn't provide much more than what [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] & [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] have already built into their fantastic MOAR 6.2 opus.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Quick unlock is something I really miss, too.

It's funny-- 6 months ago I was really bummed out that Xposed didn't work with Samsung's Lollipop, but when news broke this week that the problems were solved I discovered I didn't really care because MOAR & MOAT is such a complete and satisfying ROM and theme package.

I don't think I can honestly give enough thanks & appreciation to [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION], [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION], [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION], [MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION], [MENTION=5923966]willowmaker420[/MENTION], and the MOAR community in general, who've made it possible.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
There is a list already on XDA. I thought I gave the link earlier but I may not have. Let me know if you can't find it by searching and I'll look for it later.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
We can't say what xposed modules will work with lollipop since most of them are written for pre-lollipop roms.

However, if there is a feature that you run into that does work on lollipop, please post a request in the MOAR request forum.

Maybe we can add it in natively. :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
TD!! Welcome to the off-topic thread!! :D

I'm guessing that's why you were never able to get NFC with screen off working. The same mod I used to use with Xposed and KK doesn't work now either.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
I tried to get it working but my testing is limited to attaching nfc with the wife's phone. I'll have to take another look at it soon.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I did post this yesterday. Here's the post
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
[MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION]

Try flashing this one; NFC seems to attach with the screen off & locked.

I've attached the stock NFC also for going back in case it is needed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
Test file breaks NFC both on and off screen. Stock file restored NFC with screen on.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
I wonder if it's the device you're attaching to. I know I had to wait a few minutes after rebooting for nfc to kick in fully. Like I said, I'm just attaching to another nfc enabled phone and not really testing for functionality, just listening for the attach sound.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I'm not attaching to a device. I'm tapping it to an NFC tag. I've got one in my car to open my car app, turn screen brightness to 100%, turn GPS on. And then I have one in the house to turn brightness down to 20% and turn GPS off.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
Huh, must be another one of those lollipop security things that I'll have to figure out. Do you have another nfc enabled phone to at least test the connection with screen off? Maybe you can mail me one of your tags so I can figure out what's up with that.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Unless they're inexpensive and I can just order one for myself.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I didn't have any more laying around. But I did just order these on Amazon. I've got Prime, so I'll have them on Tuesday. I'll mail you one.

I use these apps to write/read to them: NFC Tasks and NFC Tools.

[MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION], have you heard from stangdriver44? I know he has been busy getting his lp rom up and running for T-Mobile folks. Just curious if missing link is in our future? [emoji1]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeyDuran:
Haven't heard anything from him in awhile
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tdunham:
Not swearing to it but I think he might have an s6 now.

:crying::crying:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] willowmaker420:
I can say some of the stuff from missing link will be a challenge do to some of the apk's that we want to theme using the vr theme flasher wont work with lollipop,cause some of the images are not in png format some are in pkm,qmg,and atc format,so when that happens the vr theme flash can not replace the proper png into those formats,so it will not theme,the only solution so far to this that i know is that we must be on a themed version of that apk that someone has taken the time to convert the images over to png format then that way the vr theme flash can replace the proper png files,but it will work on most of the framework and systemui apks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramer:
I get such a kick reading the Xposed threads since it because available for Samsung TW. Think people don't read and search on MOAR? lol, it's the whole world. Someone even wanted to pay to deodex his Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5! My jaw still hurts from hitting the floor. :eek::eek::eek:

If anyone was following the MOAT thread yesterday, I was getting FC's on the Amazon Appstore after flashing MOAT. Thought I had solved it, but was getting them again this morning. Has nothing to do with MOAT. A little googling and I found out that having "Deep Hibernation" in the experimental settings in Greenify was the cause. (in case someone else runs into the issue).
