Well, you certainly know more about Android programming than I do, but I can tell you that no other apps or Xposed modules on my phone (or any of my other Samsung devices) have any trouble writing to their own directories. If they did, almost nothing would work. :)

Saving and retrieving data is a pretty basic OS operation. Is there anything unusual about how KMod tries to save the data? if you can give me any pointers (such as an excerpt of the code that saves the theme, if it's self-contained), I'm more than willing to investigate the problem further on my own.

Nothing is logged in the Xposed log, unfortunately.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Nothing is logged in the Xposed, because the problem is not Xposed, however, view the private message that I just sent.

[Xposed Framework Modules] kryshnakishore:
any data privacy issues? will my data be secure?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
Thanks. I will respond to your PM after I send this message.

I decided to run a logcat of KMod and then attempt to save a theme on my S7 Edge. This is what I see:

---- 26 May 2016 15:30:14 ----

05-26 15:30:24.859 29513 29513 W System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/KMod/temp/config.theme: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

05-26 15:30:24.869 29513 29513 W System.err: remove failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory) : /storage/emulated/0/KMod/temp/config.theme

05-26 15:30:24.869 29513 29513 W System.err: remove failed: EACCES (Permission denied) : /storage/emulated/0/KMod/temp

---- 26 May 2016 15:30:40 ----

This makes me think it must be a really trivial problem, because no other app on my system has any trouble writing to /storage/emulated/0.

Again, I tried creating /storage/emulated/0/KMod/temp by hand, but this time I made KMod and KMod/temp both mode 0777, and still the above error was produced.

Is there anything unusual about the way you are trying to write to this directory? As I said, I'm not an Android programmer, but I am a Linux programmer, and it's very unusual to see permissions errors continue after making directories world-writable.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.

You should have looked first the private :p

The truth is that it's not normal. And in some devices, it randomly works.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
I did look at your PM first, but I felt the logcat was worth posting in public. I was hopeful that it might lead directly to a fix, since it specifically pointed to a permissions issue.

When you say that "it randomly works" on other devices, it sounds as if you're saying that it sometimes fails on those, too. Is that the case? I know English isn't your first language, however, so perhaps that's not what you meant.

Your frustration with Samsung devices is coming through loud and clear. I understand that, but there must be a good reason that 200 other apps on my phone can write to internal storage without issue, whereas KMod can't. R/W access to internal storage is fundamental to the whole platform. If that was broken on Samsung devices, almost nothing would work on them. That's not the case, however.

Anyway, I have joined your beta chat on Telegram. I hope I can help lead to the fix for this issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Android2003:
I upgraded my phone from 5.1.1 ported rom to (nearly) stock android 6.0.1.

The problem now is that the app icon is always blue with telephone in it. All other things are working fine. But i cant change the icon.

Clean install of rom and kmod wont work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sam Nakamura:
I had the same problem and I found out that the launcher icon only changes when I update the app.. In my case I triggered a update by visiting the whatsapp homepage and download and install the latest version of the application.. The icon changes, I could not figure out any other solutions..

Edit: or you just uninstall and reinstall whatsapp..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Have you tried restarting the device?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Android2003:
Yes a few times.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
As far as I know, LSPosed does not work correctly with the resources that KMod works with, it is not something that I can solve, and I am not going to touch the KMod code in a very long time, at most I will publish the library updates that you request..

I recommend you to use EdXposed and take a look at this link.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Kashxk:
Magisk Framework and Manager v23.0 / Device: RedMagic 6S.

After installing Riru Core v21.3, as soon as I reboot after installing any of the 2 versions of YAHFA or SandHook on my Android 11, it freezes at my booting screen. Hopefully, I had Bootloop Saver installed and after about 35 seconds of freeze, bootsaver rebooted my device. [My device normally takes around 15 seconds from Powering On to Lock-screen]

To anyone with Android 11, be careful and always use something like Bootloop Saver.

Anyone with Android 11 managed to have Kmod Working? Please share.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Kashxk:
What is your Android and Magisk version by the way?
[Xposed Framework Modules] nevernat_theoriginal:
Android 10

Magisk 23.0
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
With that configuration that I told you, it has taken me up to 5 minutes to start the device, although it is true that the mobile that is rooted is with Android 8.

The one I have with Android 12, I will not root it until the warranty expires in 2 years. Anyway, I use Xposed and root less and less.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Guys I'm afraid the life of KMod as we know it is coming to an end. The other day I set out to make some libraries, and many errors came out of many changes.

As I said, I'm not going to follow the project at the moment, I was just going to update libraries. Some library options still work, but at least 3 or 4 of these functions don't work, so I can keep publishing libraries without the undetected functions, or stop doing them altogether. So if you want me to keep posting libraries but with errors, don't reply to this post just to say continue or not, just like this post, and if I see enough people interested, I'll keep wasting my time.

I had thought to make a minimod with only 3 or 4 privacy settings, but unfortunately I changed phones and I don't have Xposed anymore.

Anyway, if I dare to do something simple, I would let you know.

[Xposed Framework Modules] jonnyprogamer:
Hello guys i hope you are having a nice day, the last supported WhatsApp version by Kmod Fwa expired today, will we get updated libraries for the new versions of the app?

In the meantime im using the Xposed module called "Per app hacking", it allows you to set a fake date for a specific app, so i just put the clock 1 week backwards for Whatsapp only and im using the old version.

If anybody wants it i have the apk on my PC, unfortunately it seems that the Xposed Repo is offline.

Maybe you could also add a mod to bypass the Whatsapp Expire date? (i don't know if it is possible)

So you don't have to update the libraries often :).
[Xposed Framework Modules] nickelnine:
Hello, can you share the Xposed module and also explain how you got the old version to work with the mod?
[Xposed Framework Modules] otonieru:
Why don't you guy using WATweaker ? It has expiration date bypass included.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jonnyprogamer:
Sorry for late reply, i tried to use that but the login didn't work for me (stuck on connecting), i use latest whatsapp now without any mods unfortunately.
[Xposed Framework Modules] albermonte:
Any intention to open source it now that you are not going to develop it further?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
If you ask me if I'm going to make it public, the answer is a resounding no. Would you give away years of your work, in which you have invested hundreds of hours, to the first person who wants to benefit from your work? no, right? well that's what happens.

Perhaps only some developer that you can trust, and you do not want to make financial gain from the project. Currently, I only know 2 people I can trust, and but they have no interest in the project. Anyway, although I don't plan to continue with it right now, due to the current WhatsApp hurdles, who knows what I'll want to do in the future. Never say Never.

If someone is really a developer and is interested in launching a WhatsApp project, they will surely know how to do it. Because when I started the project I had no idea about Xposed, and I found all the documentation on the forum and the internet, so nothing is impossible, only if someone wants something, something costs them, and in this case, if you don't have the knowledge, you have to invest time of your life.

In addition, currently with the current AIs, they make documentation for programming much easier. Although many times, you have to end up going back to the search engine, because they do not give you precise or functional information.

I also had another project related to WhatsApp, but as I say, due to current travas, I don't feel like wasting time foolishly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] albermonte:
Thanks for your reply.

I understand your position, but yes, I would make it public. In fact, I have already contributed to Open Source a little bit, about 300 hours aprox, you can check my GitHub if you want https://github.com/Albermonte

I don't have any knowledge about XPosed or LSPosed, but I'm trying to learn as you said, and having Open Source code helps a lot because it's easier to read and understand code than reading documentation, at least for me.

My idea right now is to make a module for BeReal for learning pourpose and then try to go for Whatsapp, that's why I'm trying to gather all the information from existing and working modules (at least that have worked recently)

If you don't want to open source it, that's your decision and I respect that.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
If it worked before, and now with the update of Android not, possibly it's Xposed problem for that version of Android. I can not think of any other reason for it doesn't work, if when you restart, it not apply the changes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ajaykumar21066:
Is the module not working for anyone else , it was working since the last update, now it stopped working again

[Xposed Framework Modules] lector007:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Sam Nakamura:
Same here with latest version.. Immediately FC when trying to load theme
[Xposed Framework Modules] lector007:
got it fixed. grant the app permission for storage and you are good to go
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Try to do a clean installation, you may not properly update is installed. I've been testing these days, and runs smoothly, and also the beta tester group.

If you have a Samsung, you must make application permissions to save changes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
Well, it really was a trivial problem, and it should have been obvious to me from the logcat.

For whatever reason, KMod doesn't have Storage permission by default. if you go into the Application Manager and manually add Storage permission, KMod will be able to write and read its theme files.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Yes, this is really strange because KMod has permission to read and write in internal and external storage. The funny thing is that happens mainly in Samsung devices.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
The desired permissions are listed in the app manifest, but the app doesn't request them while running.

In Marshmallow, the app must explicitly request dangerous permissions from the user, and the user must explicitly grant them. KMod doesn't make this request, and these permissions are considered dangerous, according to the Android developer docs.

I think that's the problem.

Why you would only see this problem with Samsung devices is a mystery to me. Given what the developer docs say, it should be a problem on all MM devices.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
Maybe it occurs in some MM device, but something very concrete. However, if the solution is to grant the permissions manually, at least it's something.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chris264:
So the module is simply terrific, Whatsapp just looks great and you can set a lot and the module runs fine with the latest beta version of Whatsapp. Many thanks to the developers and hope it continues to come updates. greetings
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
I installed KMod, activated it, rebooted, gave it SU permissions, but then the problems with status bar start: darkening, red tint, turning white when opening certain apps.

Im using the latest whatsapp from play store.

Im on CM 11. Version 4.4.4, and a custom kernel.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
For now, I'll update only the module to work with the latest versions of WhatsApp, since I am working ratitos something that takes a lot of work.

Moreover, as we are in summer and it's hot, I don't want to be too time indoors, so I could say I'll be a few months, a little of holidays, in what refers to the module. :p

But I promise you, I will work slowly on it. :angel:

This happens because those applications have the status bar really of transparent color (although you see her other color) then the white color is applied by default. This is something I have to study how to fix it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
Unfortunately, that makes the mod unusable for me. Will keep looking here in case there is a fix for that in the future. Really like the mod.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
You can still use all the features of KMod, disabling this option and using the Tinted Status Bar module to apply color in the status bar, while I try to solve this problem.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
Alternatively, try PerfectColourBar, one of my favourites.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
Thanks, I will have a look at both of them.

What option are you refering to? You mean using a status bar module so the transparency is overwritten? Or something else?
[Xposed Framework Modules] fijasko:
In KMod go to Customisation/Interface/Extensions and turn off tinted status bar.

Use some of the mentioned modules to control tinting after that.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
There are so many options that I didnt notice that one. Thanks :D

Edit: was already off.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
Unfortunately not opening. downloaded the KK version, activated, rebooted but wont open. Says I havent actived/rebooted yet.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ianmacd:
Sorry to hear that. I'm using it on MM with no issues.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lace_hvc:
Also can't get Tinted Status Bar to work. I'll wait till KMOD got a fix ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] 2phazt:
Yes, PerfectColorBar is the best module of this kind (I tried them all).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Puspen Rath:

[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
You mean the icons that appear in the chat list, such as the camera, messages received, sent, etc? If your you mean that, I would have to look at it, but I think aesthetically look bad, because on the right, is the date and the icon for muted conversations, I don't exactly where to put those icons, so that they are look good.
[Xposed Framework Modules] chris264:
I mean that for Sent and Receive and Read. greetings
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krowne:
But only these 3 icons can't be. They have to be all icons assigned to that ID. Anyway, as I say, I think I put icons on the right side, they look bad. You have an example to see how it would be?

Try loading a theme of the available in second post. Modifies some of that subject, and save the changes. Then load the theme Stock, make your theme, and then try to save, it should save correctly.

Not a bad idea, but unfortunately, for the moment this is not possible :(

If in the future it were possible, I'll see how to do it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ajebecito:
This module make whatsapp ban you?

No, it isn't a whatsapp mod, only customize through xposed.

In theory you can't ban, because we aren't changing the application of WhatsApp. Nor do I think there is way to detect if you put Xposed or not.

Its easy first decompile apk file using apktool then in folder eg WhatsApp/res/values/color there you can see #ff000000 like this change last 6 letters using photoshop you can add suitable color code got it

You must open in notepad and you can change code and you must save and then compile and signapk okay
