has anyone tried fox fi yet on the note 5 for Verizon? I plan on getting rid of my rooted s6 for the note 5 on Friday but only if I can confirm that fox fi will work as I use the hotspot feature extensively. any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ttreed07:
Just tested in on mone and it works great. I have unlimited on Verizon as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jtaudiodesign:
that's awesome thanks so much I will be at the Verizon store first thing Friday that's for sure. thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr. Toad:
I just ordered mine and was about to ask the same question. I am glad it is working. Unlimited data on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cguy1213:
Works on mine. Unlimited VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gotsaved289:
Works! I love my unlimited data!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] igotjshoe:
Mines stop working today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] art90262:
Mine not working either....whats happenning?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] GuestK00143:
DELETED
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
No they didn't. Check the thread again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] GuestK00143:
OK thanks, I deleted my previous post so people don't get confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
That was definitely a weird situation though!! And to be honest I assumed big V was doing something shady too...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramiss:
Maybe I'm missing something, but the Wifi Hotspot function of the Verizon Note 5 works without incident. In fact I don't remember the last time that Verizon has charged for this service, it comes included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gigatopiloto:
Lol. Versión Charges 30 for hotspot feature. It doesn't come included
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramiss:
Unless you are grandfathered in on an Unlimited plan Verizon hasn't charged for tethering since mid 2012.

Some Google reading:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=verizon+tethering+fcc

I received my Verizon Note 5 today. I'm on their current set of plans. I turned on the stock Wifi Tether and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gigatopiloto:
True. I'm grandfathered
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramiss:
I'm curious then (and sorry to hijack the thread) how do you activate a new phone and keep your grandfathered unlimited plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gigatopiloto:
Buy it full retail price from Verizon, or buy on eBay, amazon, swappa or wherever else and just insert your sim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] outchillaxing:
with foxfi, can you still receive calls without interrupting the internet connection?

I'm about to go back to an android (note 5) from an iphone6 and with the iphone, when a call comes in, I loose connection. The iphone is jailbroken.

With my rooted g3 using another tethering app, i didn't loose connection when i call comes in.

Its not a really big deal, but it is nice to stay connected while being on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] shroyede:
FoxFi works...no interruptions with the connection...only negative is the notification pop-up...trusted certificate... 3rd party may be monitoring warning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ucsdsig13:
It's strange. I got that notification on my Note 4 but it doesn't appear on my Edge+. FoxFi works fine though (paid version).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] got556:
Anybody taken the newest OTA and does Foxfi still work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ttreed07:
Yes I have taken the latest OTA and it works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jacob11701:
In order for a call to not interrupt foxfi you have to have advanced calling turned on from verizon. That is the only way to surf the net or use it in anyway during a call on most new phones now. Is advanced calling.

Iphone

Droid turbos

Maxxs

Nexus 6

New samsungs

All cannot use data while on call without that. They took the extra band out the phone to save money.

Btw using Foxfi works on my Verizon Note 5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] geoff5093:
It's more than that, I believe any new phones since last fall haven't been able to use data while on a call unless Advanced Calling is enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jacob11701:
Oh yea definitely I just listed the ones I knew off the top of my head. Believe the Sony is the other one I forgot to list but there plenty out there

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Daciple:
I am not on the unlimited plan, but i have had Hotspot active since the HTC Thunderbolt so not sure. It shares my data, but to have turned on my other device i had to get it activated. It was free. At least something to check!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
anyway to disable the lock screen that's forced on by FoxFi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] got556:
I think VZ just somehow blocked my gf and I'm tethering. Foxfi is no longer working and we get the not subscribed notification.....any other unlimited users having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jandk1974:
Yes, foxfi is not working for me as well. Although I'm not sure how Verizon can block it without a system update? I'm thinking that there may be other issues. .....the developer may be fixing them now.......I've emailed the developer. Keep your fingers crossed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
foxfi doesn't work for me either. It was working fine this afternoon though. I popped my SIM in to a rooted phone with hotspot activation check disabled, that works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] GamerOnOne:
You can patch Hotspot without root.

Get msl

##data#

Apn settings

Add apn type in each setting to

Default,mms,dun

Menu button

Save

With no spaces and reboot.

If you update your profile/prl it will take it away and you just have to input the settings again.

Tell Verizon you need to reset your GPS and most of the time they will give you your msl code. If the person doesn't do it call back and try again. I had to do it 2 times because I'm leasing a phone.

This works with most Samsung devices and company.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
Isn't that a Sprint hotspot patch? Also, I think the Verizon default MSL is 000000
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bart77:
I've been using it daily now for about two weeks until today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ihuntinde:
Same here this morning. I haven't had to use it since Thursday evening but it was working without any issues. This morning, it just gets stuck at the Checking Subscription Status screen. I've read where this has happened in the past with Verizon. Some say to give it a day or so and the guys at FOXFI will fix it and it will start working again. Not real sure how they can push an update without us knowing, but it sure seems like something was updated..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] smoore869101:
Yep mine stopped working you yesterday
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] shroyede:
Hotspot has been good for two months until last night...vzw wtfass
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] GamerOnOne:
It should work on about any samsung phone, cdma wise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
Have you tried it on Verizon Note 5 and got around this FoxFi problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bart77:
I believe vzw disabled the secret dial codes to access this menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bart77:
Foxfi is working now!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -8-DEAMON-8-:
Hello!

I don't know if this is the right place for this question.

Someone who know if it is possible to share the whole / on the network? I mean the virtual root-folder. Is it called the root folder? Hmm, anyhow. It would be nice to browse around on the phonememory with a desktop PC for a while instead of using ES File Explorer. :> Maybe in a read-only mode. Because if you modify some cricital files, then your phone will blast.

Is there an app or something similar for this? <:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
You could try SAMBA, though I seriously doubt you would actually want to share / (I'm not even sure it will let you). However, I have SAMBA running on my old GS2 and it works very well as a tiny portable server.

[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I want to start off that I was not involved in the development of Xposed. I am simply providing a step-by-step guide with photos to make it easier to follow, as some people have expressed concern over which file they need to flash and so forth.

The guide is based off of the original G4 Xposed thread here.

*Before you get started, make sure your phone is fully charged and you have at least 30 minutes where you can be without your phone, as this process takes 20-30 minutes to complete. You also need root for this to work. There is always a chance your phone may need to be restored, so insure all your data is backed up, however this should not wipe any data.*

UPDATE 10/9/15:

The instructions below have been updated to reflect the latest official version of Xposed for Lollipop 5.1.

If you've installed the earlier v71 version of Xposed and would like to upgrade, all you need to do is flash the latest xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip file using FlashFire.

Step 1:

Download the Xposed Framework (xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip) from here.

Download the Xposed installer (XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk) from here.

Download FlashFire* from here.

*You will need to follow the links in the first post to join the FlashFire community, wait a few minutes, then click the Play Store link to become a tester. After ~5 minutes the download link will become live for you to download FlashFire.

Step 2:

Copy the two Xposed files to your

internal storage

(not MicroSD card!)

Step 3:

Install FlashFire on your phone.

Step 4:

Launch FlashFire

Grant root permissions

Click on the "+" in the bottom right

Click "Flash ZIP or OTA"

Select the path to where you downloaded the Xposed framework, and click on the file.

DO NOT select Auto-Mount, leave it unchecked.

Step 5:

Click "FLASH". Note, this may take ~30 minutes. After you click flash, your phone will appear to shut off. DO NOT touch your phone during this process. Around 15 minutes later, you will see commands being run and files copying, then it will appear to be off for another 15 minutes. Afterwards it will boot back into the OS.

Step 6:

Once you are booted back into the OS, install the Xposed Installer that you previously downloaded by launching it.

Finished!

You now have Xposed!
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
FlashFire is an amazing tool!

I jumped on the beta when it first came out.

Thank you for doing a roll up to include all files and instructions in a single thread!

I too have this working on my VS986!
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Thanks for the screenshots and concise instructions! Helped being re-assured of the steps I needed to take throughout the entire process. You cannot go wrong if you follow these steps.

Thanks again! :)
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Glad to help! I find screenshots and detailed instructions are easier to follow, than simple being told "Flash the zip with FlashFire". :)
[Verizon LG G4] STIKID:
Great write up. When i read the thread in the lg g4 general page i was concern because it took forever but eventually worked.

Sent from my VS986
[Verizon LG G4] skylordusa1:
That's awesome that we can get this installed with the locked bootloader. But do any modules work? What are you guys using it for so far? I only ever used xposed for the pandora patcher module. Anything else out there worth trying?

Thanks for the write up on this by the way. Details are always a good thing.
[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
Thanks a million!!! Has anyone tried GravityBox yet? It says it only works on vanilla Android. Just curious if anyone has it working on their VS986's? Thanks again!
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I'm using Greenify, SNAPPREFS, xinsta, and YouTube ad away
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
The first couple reboots i did. After I stopped messing with the DPI the dialog stopped appearing.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Just an FYI, I'm running at DPI 540 and I only got "updating apps" once.
[Verizon LG G4] b3y0ndd34th:
That makes sense.

I ended up switching back to stock dpi (modified dpi messed up my lock screen quick buttons, settings crashed constantly, camera wasn't happy and sense i would have to spend all that time adjusting them back to stock, I decided to do the opposite) I found it faster to leave dpi stock and adjust per app with AppSettings to achieve a better dpi setting for the apps that were driving me nuts. Like Google +, gmail, etc.

Be careful though the email app doesn't like to go below 560 dpi.
[Verizon LG G4] jvhawk3:
I have followed this exactly and tried several times now, but continue to have an issue with xposed actually recognizing that the framework is installed. It says the framework is not active. Anyone else experienced this and been able to correct it?

Edit: I should mention, I have indeed rebooted several times also.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Does the process fail on you anywhere? Does it take ~10 minutes both times to fully boot, or does it start back up immediately?
[Verizon LG G4] jvhawk3:
There aren't any failures anywhere that I can see, and it does take about 10 minutes both times.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Just to confirm with others, you have followed this guide without issues correct? I want to make sure there wasn't a mistake in my directions.

@jv, I would try to redownload all the files from the attachments and give it another go.
[Verizon LG G4] xboxexpert:
Just so you all know I did this ONE time on THREE different phones and every time I WAITED for it to finish. It WILL seem that the phone is off or dead or not doing jack **** but it is in fact booting to flashfire it just takes forever.

Thank you,
[Verizon LG G4] dagnisaun:
confirming - I followed the guide exactly and it worked with no issues. thanks!

one small thing - at the end of step 5, before booting back into the OS, there was another screen that did some fancy stuff
[Verizon LG G4] murphyjasonc:
I didn't have any issues installing. I did get worried because it took longer than expected though. From flash to reboot to about 45 minutes. It was all I could do not to tank the battery out.
[Verizon LG G4] slick_shoes:
Greenify (donation) with xposed made the biggest difference as far as battery life. As for now, I'm 14hrs off the charger, 1hr 20 mins screen time, not on WiFi, and still at 70%.
[Verizon LG G4] ryanpm40:
Yeah, make sure you wait a good 20-30 mins, the screen will be off for most of the time, except for a random "Loading" screen that will flash, then back to black for a bit before rebooting.

I can confirm the following mods work on my phone:

- Flat Style Colored Bars (only issue: I can't disable the colors from changing on scroll)

- Greenify

- iFont

- SnapColors

- YouTube AdAway

- YouTube Background Playback

- Zoom For Instagram (Hung at the Verizon screen for awhile and scared me, but apparently the activation wiped my cache, so I had to wait a bit, and then returned to the "optimizing android apps" screen).
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
I finally rooted my G4 last night it was easy no issues at all. After that I tried to install xposed following this tutorial I downloaded all necessary files moved everything to the internal storage installed and opened flashfire after I choosed the zip file I clicked flash and the app FC (flashfire) nothing happened but I was afraid to try again. Anyone else experienced this? TIA
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I haven't heard of that before. Once you click flash it should restart, so if it doesn't I'd try to reboot your phone and try again.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Not sure if it is related, but having huge battery drain issues and seems like my phone likes to lag a lot more ever since I installed Xposed for my G4. Want to remove it and see if that was the problem or not. Not sure how to do it though.

Is it as simple as opening Xposed Installer from App Drawer and selecting Uninstall?

or do I need to download xposed-uninstaller-arm64.zip or something?

Thanks :D
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Uninstalling the apk won't remove Xposed, I'd check out this thread for assistance: http://xdaforums.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593
[Verizon LG G4] XZ3R0:
If you install FlashFire and it just closes after opening manually set your devices date to 08/30/15 or earlier (settings > date & time). The beta "expired".

I also tried it with the official xposed v72 and it seems to be working great. I would recommend using that over the unofficial one in the OP now that its out.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
I checked it out, but still having trouble.

Here is what I tried to do:

Unload modules through xposed installer.. Reboot.

Uninstall any modules. Reboot.

Uninstall xposed installer. Reboot.

Flash Uninstall arm64 from that link using FlashFire.

Wait 10-15 minutes and your phone will reboot and xposed will be uninstalled.

Unfortunately, once I uninstalled xposed and Rebooted, I could not launch FlashFire to flash the uninstall arm64 :(

I guess I might have been better off just running FlashFire and flashing the uninstall before removing xposed through app drawer?

Anyone successfully uninstall Xposed Framework correctly? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks :D
[Verizon LG G4] mikec86:
I had to change the date manually on my phone to 2013 to get flashfire to run.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Thanks, that is what I had to do as well. Got it to run and then Flashed the Uninstaller. Seems to work. Now to see what kind of battery life I get. Might just do a factory reset and then use titanium backup if my battery drain is still higher than normal.
[Verizon LG G4] Stompy86:
I don't understand what i'm doing wrong...I open this thread on my G4 i click the Flashfire link to download Flashfire everything goes smooth the app installs but when i go to run Flashfire it opens for a second and then automatically closes. Is there something i'm missing? I'm rooted of course do I need busybox installed?
[Verizon LG G4] STIKID:
I dont believe u need busy box try restarting your phone and then open it.

Sent from my VS986
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
It expired or something. Change the date to last month and try running Flashfire and it should stay open. Same thing happened to me when I was uninstalling :(
[Verizon LG G4] Stompy86:
Hey man that makes sense but how do i change the date to last month? This is the first time i'm using Flashfire so the more descriptive you can be the better. I really appreciate your help cant wait to get Xposed installed.
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Swipe down, click on sprocket on top right. Scroll down to Date & time and click on that. Then un-check the first option that has Auto-date & time and click on Set date. Then change to last month and presto.
[Verizon LG G4] Stompy86:
Thanks a lot man I figured it out last night and got Xposed installed correctly. I also read the google+ Flashfire page and it looked like a lot of other people were having the same issue. Ill pass on this tip to anyone I see having difficulties. Thanks again.
[Verizon LG G4] SpinningHook:
Has anyone tried installing the official v73 yet? I am assuming it's the xposed-v73-sdk22-arm64.zip listed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 , but haven't tried it yet.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
That's odd, I didn't have to do that - unless something has changed recently.

See above, maybe that will help.
[Verizon LG G4] Katmeat:
I am relieved to report that upgrading from 71 to 73 appears to have solved the severe battery drain problems that have been plaguing me since installing Xposed. I had to use the date roll back trick to get FlashFire to work, but all looks good now!
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Good tip, has anyone else upgraded to 73 from 71? I haven't tried yet.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Updated OP for the new official version of Xposed, new links, updated FlashFire steps, and confirmed existing users can simply flash the latest version of Xposed with FlashFire.
[Verizon LG G4] bkrickles:
are you certain of this?

Just flash the new one with flashfire and I'm done?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Yes, yesterday I downloaded the v73 version, flashed it with flashfire, and it worked out just fine. I did not need to uninstall it first.
[Verizon LG G4] madmaglio:
Instead of rigging the date to get Flashfire to work can I use Flashify?
[Verizon LG G4] dougmod:
i followed the steps and it works great
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I haven't tried, feel free to try and let me know though.
[Verizon LG G4] bkrickles:
For those interested, I rigged the date on flashfire, flashed v73 over v71, and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you geoff for confirming this would work.

It still goes through it's almost 30 minute flash process, which is a little disconcerting, but it works just fine and saves some steps.

I'm not sure what this new version is supposed to improve but I now have it.

Thanks again
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Glad to hear it! I was nervous as well as I recalled the first time I did this the screen was only black for maybe 10 minutes, but when updating it was over 15 so I was getting nervous, but it went through fine in the end.

I heard it is supposed to help with some battery issues, but my battery dies just as quick or quicker than it did before :(
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
So I had to factory reset my phone. When i went back and reflashed xposed, I did it from memory. I forgot to set the phones clock back prior to aug 31. What kind of problems is that going to create?
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Nothing, you only need to do that if FlashFire quits when you launch it, which is because the program is a beta version which expires on August 31st.
[Verizon LG G4] SpinningHook:
The newest version of Flashfire available through the Play store seems to be working without the need for setting the date prior to 8/31/15. It is for me anyway.
[Verizon LG G4] sefirosu0522:
Just ran through this and the download I grabbed is xposed-v74-sdk22-arm64.zip. This did not take a half hour. It took like 3 minutes. Is that normal?

Edit. Well it seemed to work. Not sure why it was so short.
[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
Is there a v74 floating around for the G4? I see that Amplify now works with v74. Would love to get that working. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
When I launch flashfire it opens and closes immediately, any idea?
[Verizon LG G4] SpinningHook:
I have FlashFire downloaded directly from Google Play and the most recently updated version, 9/9/15, works without any issues for me. If it doesn't work for you, reset the date in your phone settings to before 8/31/15 and that should work.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Per the instructions you need to change your phones date to something before 8/31/15.
[Verizon LG G4] Mystikalrush:
The latest flashfire version doesn't require you to do the time change step. I installed xposed for the first time 2 days ago, and it went perfectly fine with no time changing required.
[Verizon LG G4] SpinningHook:
Apparently, my posts are invisible.
[Verizon LG G4] rjharding:
I followed all the instructions and I'm up to 45 minutes waiting for V74 to flash over V71.

Any ideas? Should I do a batter pull? If so, how long should I wait?
