I haven't seen any slowdowns at all...everything is really smooth. ?
[X Style (Pure) General] Senshi34:
I am actually glad that I finally got App Settings working. Another favorite of mine is Gravity Box. I haven't tried much of anything else but by the looks of it Amplify and a few others, seems like a good place to start.
[X Style (Pure) General] rehpyc:
Amplify - Keeping those pesky wakelocks/alarms/services at bay!

APM+ - I prefer the look of the power menu options compared to Gravity Box

App Settings - Custom DPI of specific apps

AppOpsXposed - Control the permissions per app

Gravity Box - Statusbar tweaks and such

Greenify - Experimental features

Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink - Self-explanatory

RootCloack - Haven't found a need yet.. but used it with the Galaxy S3

SecureSettings - Added settings access via Tasker

SnapPrefs - Secretly save Snapchats, as well as send images straight from picture gallery

SpotifySkip - Unlimited skips!
[X Style (Pure) General] RemnantKing2:
How does one use Amplify? I feel like it doesn't do much for me.
[X Style (Pure) General] chris23445:
Noticeably slower. Not sure which module is causing the problem, or if it's Xposed in general. I know for a fact that after I installed Xposed there was a little more stuttering. I opened a bunch of apps without Xposed, then opened the same apps after installing, and the phone was slightly slower. I compared it to my Nexus 6, and it is now slightly slower to open almost all apps, when before it was slightly faster. They both have the exact same apps installed. The only difference is the MXPE now has Xposed on it and the Nexus does not.
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
My hunch is that it's the beta xposed. I had rooted and installed it on my Att LG G4 and I couldn't pinpoint what was causing the slowdowns but it was certainly Xposed related. Now on my Moto X I can't say I noticed any slowdowns but I do get a frozen 'M' screen sometimes on reboot. That also happened on the G4. G4 I pulled the battery but Moto X sometimes takes a few tries before it'll boot.
[X Style (Pure) General] chris23445:
I haven't had the frozen M screen, so that may be a specific module doing that to you.
[X Style (Pure) General] bigfunkychiken:
Damn, sucks to hear that. Have you tried disabling like Gravitybox (assuming you use it) to see if the lag is module-specific?
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
anyone using xposed or the active mobile fix noticing worse battery life? maybe it's just bc i had to do a factory reset since I just unlocked the bootloader Saturday and am starting over again, but battery seems a little bit worse than before I rooted. I'm using greenify now as well but if anything that should help battery.
[X Style (Pure) General] YankInDaSouth:
OK, I thought I was losing my mind LOL! But yes, my battery life seems worse ... I figured it was a setting I set, or unset or from monkey around with smart radio something along those lines. I am only using the Gravity Box, Greenify and YouTube AdAway modules. I was going to go back to stock and start over this weekend but got lazy and opted not too ... I may do that now and simply go back with root (and AdAway of course) and hold off on Xposed for a week or so and see what happens. (As painful as no Gravity Box tweaks will be!)
[X Style (Pure) General] Irieone:
There is no doubt that Xposed makes my phone laggy. I stopped using it because of this. I miss Gravity Box, but having a smooth running machine is a must.
[X Style (Pure) General] chris23445:
From what I have read, it is most likely Gravity box and also possibly Flat Style Colored Bars. Even though I hate the lag, those two modules are too important for me.
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
damn. gravity box is probably also my cause for battery drain. i like gravity box bc of circle battery icon.. extended power menu... and quick tiles... and data arrows.. damn i use gravity box a good amount. ugh gonna suck having to uninstall this.

[X Style (Pure) General] Oaklands:
It must be Xposed and the modules. I set my animations to .5 and added Nova. Mine is running like a scalded dog.
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
I am certainly getting worse battery life since Xposed. I have no concrete numbers but I was getting I would say a 1/3 more battery life before. I have only 1hr6min if SOT and I'm at 35% battery. I'll probably uninstall Xposed and see what's what tomorrow.
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
YUP, same here man. my battery tanked with xposed using gravitybox, a module that deletes heads up notifications and restores the ticker (god that's 100% needed on lollipop..worst idea google EVER had..), and the mobiel radio reporting bug fix.

but yeah, battery was god awful. just uninstalled xposed now, and i'm hoping to be able to mod some files to do what i want that xposed did (resize navbar, change navbar button order, delete button in dropdown when u take a screenshot, advanced power menu, etc)
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
Would uninstalling all of the modules be enough to test my battery or do I need to remove Xposed all together?
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
not sure, but i'd say remove everything. that's what i'm trying.

and i'm doing my first attempt at mods here too; trying to make a framework-res that has a smaller navbar...never did this before...and i've got a black screen lol uh oh
[X Style (Pure) General] bigfunkychiken:
It would probably make more sense to just uninstall all modules first and then see if it still lags, no? Assuming that it may be module-specific..
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
well tbh, for me, it wasn't lag. i didn't notice any lag at all and i'm VERY aware of lag on androids (check my post history lol)

for me, it was bad battery life.
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
Same here, no lag at all.
[X Style (Pure) General] Kortekn:
- GravityBox

- Lock Screen Clock Mods

- LPThemer

- YouTube Adaway

As a side note, what does Greenify do and does that module have to be downloaded from a website? It doesn't show up in my Xposed download section of the app.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
It basically just hibernates apps. You can find it in the Play Store.
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
So I killed all my modules last night and more or less exactly what I thought would happen has happened. About the same amount of time off charger today as yesterday I have 1hr56m of SOT vs yesterday's 1hr6m and I still have 59% bat vs yesterday's 35%. I'm going to run it for a few days to confirm and then I'll turn back on GB and go from there.
[X Style (Pure) General] Senshi34:
Can you clarify for me if you uninstalled the modules or did you just uncheck them in xposed?
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
I unchecked them.
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
yeah, i completely uninstalled the framework and my battery life is better as well. not as good as yours though.. damn, 2 hours sot at 59 percent is what my note got at the beginning lol. I'm at 63 percent with 1 hour 18 min screen on time

[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
Yeah well kind of short lived. Now at 2h26m and 26% battery. Standby time blows on Android these days. The pinnacle for me was Z2 and Z3 getting days and days and days on standby. I hate playing the game of finding what to turn off to save battery. Yeah I can turn wifi off and I can dim my screen but I shouldn't have to. Again Z2 and Z3 were unkillable in a day for me. That should be the standard period.
[X Style (Pure) General] jayochs:
if you're using wifi in standby, DON'T. lollipop screwed up badly and wifi kills battery terribly when in standby now. idk why but it does.

Has anyone tried the newest Xposed update? Haven't had the chance yet myself...
[X Style (Pure) General] Kortekn:
I just installed it now, along with a YouTube Adaway update
[X Style (Pure) General] Irieone:
Yes, and I can't get GravityBox working with it. I keep getting an error. "GravityBoxy system framework not responding. Exiting"
[X Style (Pure) General] Spike96:
I've been on complete stock rooted for about a month, as I always like to get a feel for how the phone works under normal conditions before I go blasting at it with a ton of different modifications.

I installed Xposed yesterday along with GravityBox and just a few minutes ago Youtube Adaway.

My battery is suffering a lot, though. I would be able to go through a full day of phone usage without the charger, but now it's already at 28%. SoT is 2 hours 35 minutes, which is not terrible for 28% left. However on complete stock rooted I would get about 4.5 hours SoT every day.

I will keep testing battery usage, go through a few more full cycles and report back.

I think I'm going to have to uninstall Xposed though... Sad, as GravityBox is one of the greatest aspects of owning an android phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] Oaklands:
It is mentioned in other posts that Xposed is taking a toll on battery life. How much, I don't know, as I decided not to install it after hearing this.
[X Style (Pure) General] chris23445:
Looking forward to your report. I love Xposed but the lag and battery life are really starting to get to me.

P.S. I didn't notice lag and my battery was good before Xposed and my modules.

Guys in terms of uninstalling the xposed framework - is there a flashable zip available for this?

First day of use & I can't say I've noticed a lag.

Will check how battery life goes & if it's worse then before I'll uninstall xposed.

Still testing battery life with the installation of Xposed...
[X Style (Pure) General] dedors:
I had xposed on it for a short time, already the lag was too bad, decided to not even test for battery drain.

Probably I'll wait for a custom rom now.
[X Style (Pure) General] Spike96:
After testing performance with the installation of Xposed along with the modules of GravityBox and Youtube Adaway, I can confirm that there is no noticeable increase in lag and no significant change in battery life.

After spending about a month on 100% stock rooted, I installed Xposed three days ago along with the modules above. I tested the battery through two full cycles.

The results from using Xposed were very similar to the performance I would get on 100% stock rooted. Both cycles were around 4 hours SoT, and lasted the full day, about 16 hours. I would need to test a few more cycles to know for sure, but if there is a decrease in battery life it is very small. I previously would get about 4.5 hours SoT (probably my average for the month on 100% stock rooted), but I have been using some battery hungry functions in the last two days (4K video recording during a Celtics game yesterday and reception being blocked by being underground a lot today).

I will definitely be keeping Xposed and my modules for the time being.

I have not seen an increase in lag either, my MXP is as speedy as it was the day I got it.

My conclusion...

Anyone who is pointing to Xposed for an increase in lag/decrease in battery life either has different modules installed that could be troublesome, or has not spent enough time with the phone on full stock.

Users with the same modules as I who are experiencing bad performance would receive the same performance on a stock experience with no modifications. Factors that are hindering performance in these situations can include poor cell reception area or troublesome apps.

I'll continue testing though... 3 days with abnormally high usage isn't enough to know for sure.
[X Style (Pure) General] rehpyc:
Agreed. Anybody having poor battery life should not be placing blame on Xposed itself. Anybody who wants to argue otherwise can check the latest posts in the battery thread, where my amazing battery stats are because of modules for Xposed.
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
I'm not up to date on this thread but I was one of the ones who stopped using Xposed. That was 3 or 4 weeks ago I think. At that time the consensus was that GB, not Xposed was causing battery problems and lag. I didn't experience much lag but battery was dismal. I couldn't make it to lunch break. Got rid of of Gravity Box and and battery more than doubled. So I'm not sure who "anyone/anybody" is but plenty of us performed our own tests and drew our own conclusions. I just don't know about making blanket statements....

How is battery & lag for you?

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

I got 4 hours 30 minutes SoT and a full 16 hour day out of my phone today. This is the same performance I got on 100% stock. Xposed, Gravitybox, Youtube Adaway.

It could be one of the settings in GravityBox that you enabled... Not the module itself.
[X Style (Pure) General] rehpyc:
To anybody claiming Xposed itself is the culprit to battery loss, start running it and send me a log dump from BBS after a full day's use.
[X Style (Pure) General] luke2104:
I have xposed installed with a few modules (GB, Amplify, Greenify, Mobileactiveradiofix, snapprefs and a few others) I had a few struggles getting amplify to work but it just booted up properly one day - and my battery life has been insane... not so much SOT but more when the phone is locked, I used to take the phone off charge at 6:30am and be left with about 10-15% when I got back from work at 5:30 - 6 . now I take it off charge at the same time in the morning and have about 50-55% left when I get home.

Haven't noticed any lag either really - nothing more than normal :)
[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
I had enabled reboot menu, progress bar, clock tweaks, clear recent tasks, navigation key assignments, and volume bar timeout. I guess I'll uninstall/reinstall GB and try again. I've been using APM, YouTube AdAway, RootCloak and TwistySwitch with no issues.
[X Style (Pure) General] Teksu:
Dont notice any lag, and battery life is great for me. I'm not going to quote any SoT or the like as I use my device to play audio books and music with the screen off frequently throughout the day. I never worry about getting though the day, and I don't have anything against charging up each night.

ugh, i can't get amplify to install even though I have enabled the module

[X Style (Pure) General] Teksu:
I don't know how you can enable the module without it being installed, it sounds like it is installed. Do you get an error of some sort?

You may want to check out the Module Thread for that xposed mod, they would probably be better able to help if you have a specific error you are getting:

[X Style (Pure) General] luke2104:
Yeh I tried to get it to work about 6-7 times over the last few weeks, kept uninstalling and reinstalling - gave me an error saying that Xposed wasn't installed properly.

The only think I did differently this time was when it installed and gave me a notification to activate and reboot I pressed it then immediately rebooted my phone manually (for some reason Xposed can never reboot my phone - gives me an error). Then when my phone started back up I checked Amplify and it was all good... not sure what it was exactly :confused:
[X Style (Pure) General] eyecon82:
Thanks. The app gets stuck in this phase

[X Style (Pure) General] jiggyb21:
So I reinstalled Gravity Box and turned off all other modules. This will be my first full day to test but this morning I was reminded of another reason I stopped using GB on my Moto. I can't figure out which tweak has caused the lockscreen to malfunction. When I receive a call sometimes the screen remains locked. I can see the caller underneath but have to swipe to get to my pattern and then enter my pattern to then swipe to answer the call. Also when I'm on a call the proximity sensor doesn't work. To end a call I need to hit the power button and again enter my lockscreen pattern. My plan is to restore GB to default and introduce my tweaks one by one. I'm just throwing it out there to see if anyone has already been through this and solved it. I have no lockscreen tweaks enabled. Thanks.
[X Style (Pure) General] Spike96:
Yes, the practice of introducing tweaks one by one is by far the most important part of optimization. You can't be blasting away at your phone with tweaks that it wasn't designed for and expect it to work normally. The way it has to be done is you add one tweak, make sure you're still happy with it's performance, and then add more. You have to keep track of everything you add. Isolate your problems.

Otherwise, you'll be lead to believe that Gravitybox as a whole is the problem while it is really not. It's just a single setting somewhere that you modified. Isolate this setting and you'll be a happy XDAer.

I have not experienced any lockscreen problems. But again, isolate your problem. Start brand new on Gravitybox and add 2-3 settings. Test for a day, and repeat. This will make sure you get rid of your lockscreen issue.
[X Style (Pure) General] 3thman:
what are the best settings in Amplify ?
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Amplify doesn't really have settings. You kinda just pick and choose which processes/alarms/wakelocks you want to limit.

I limited everything in that guide (minus location services stuff) and I'm good so far. I'll let ya know if I run in to anything weird, or if it's even beneficial, once I have more time with it.
[X Style (Pure) General] gchglobal:
Does anyone have issues with Xposed just stop working. Like I have APM and you go to reboot and it's not working and none of the other modules are? This happens at least a couple times a week for me. Possibly a full uninstall and reinstall might help? Also, Gravity Box was chewing up a lot of battery for me. With it turned off battery is significantly better.
[X Style (Pure) General] Senshi34:
Right now I only have two issues but unfortunately I don't know the reason behind them.

My first issue is with Smart Lock. I use my home as a smart location, which means when I'm home it disables the lock screen. Once I left home and it keep the lock screen disabled and every once in a while I'm home it turns the lock on. I attribute this mainly to a minor glitch in GPS or whatever.

The next issue I have is from Gravity Box. I have the tweak to clear all from recent with one button. Some apps updated and the button won't show up even after changing it. I changed it to the navigation bar and it works. Some apps updated and it would let me put it back in top corner like I prefer.

Both these issues as very minor, so much so that I treat them as anomalies than actual problems.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
Haven't had any issues so far. Slightly better battery life. Pulled the phone off the charger at 5am. At 1:30pm I has 2.5hrs SOT with 55% left. Definitely sleeping much better.
[X Style (Pure) General] Senshi34:
Hey guys, there seems to be a lot of discussion on battery life with Xposed activated. I'm here to add my very limited data to the mix. Now as soon as I got the phone I unlocked the BL, flashed root, and installed Xposed, so I don't really have any experience with a completely stock phone. But coming from my old DE Moto X (2013), I am still amazed by the battery life. My phone use consist mainly of a select number of apps at the moment, mainly because I've been busy with work and life. These include Hangout (I do send a lot of text), Chome, Feedly (I do have a compulsiveness to go through all my feeds), Youtube, Spotify (my heavily listened playlists are available offline), G+, Outlook (I check emails as soon as I get them), and some games. The games aren't really GPU or CPU heavy and consist of mainly casual games that I play while I have a spare minute.

As far as Modules I have only a few. App Settings, Gravity Box, Greenify, and MobileActiveRadioFix. Gravity does have several tweaks turned on. App Settings is only used on a handful of apps. Greenify limits just about everything that doesn't need to pull notifications. I also made sure to Greenify Spotify because Spotify seems to check with it's servers every so often for whatever reason, which then flashes an icon in the notification bar for a split second. This with Pushbullet installed made it very annoying on my desktop. As far as MobileActiveRadioFix is concerned I don't really know how well it works.

For me battery life has been great. But again let me stress that I'm coming from my 2013 DE Moto X. Battery will occasionally last me about a day and a half, most of the time at least a day, from the morning I wake up to the time I go to bed. I normally get around 4.5 hours of SOT and when I made a note to get some screenshots I got 5 hours of SOT. I am very use to Xposed and really don't want to turn it off. Even if it improved my battery life I don't think I would. The Turbo Charging is amazing and I usually carry a portable USB battery pack anyway. I should also note that encryption isn't turned on, which I heard has a slight impact on performance and battery. I probably won't change anything except maybe when Marshmallow comes out. I might flash back to stock and turn on encryption. Also because I miss my Android Pay. So for right now Xposed will stay on.

That's my 2 cents, hope it helps. Excuse any grammar and spelling mistakes.
[X Style (Pure) General] WelcomeToTheSkye:
People who claim xposed drains battery are quite wrong. Running stock I have a SOT of 8—10 hours running xposed with the addition of amplify and a few other modules I get a solid 10—12 of SOT. ?
