Back to the xposed issues again....

So xposed by itself was intended originally for those people wanting a stock odexed rom without any mods. Mostly for people who could root but not unlock bootloaders or use custom recoveries to flash a true custom rom. This has evolved into people all over screaming for xposed. I understand the logic however the implementation of framework itself is a problem. Most of you probably dont care about security and thats fine. I do however and the team has called upon me for an explanation.

I could make this a couple of pages long however since I am on break at work I will keep it short. Xposed hijacks a binary in the system called app_process which is basically what links apps to the framework and kernel. By hijacking this it opens up security holes large enough to pass a whale through. That being said it also hooks methods in the compiled code and either replaces them with usually broken code or modifies it in a way that on a highly customized rom can cause major issues. All it would take is someone clever enough to use the same exploit and possibly install malicious software like a keylogger screen grabber or something like this and your life and all information would now be theirs. Also xposed has a nasty habit of slowing your phone down. It accomplishes this by requiring a hook in the method being called. Alliamce mods are always written and compiled directly into the modified app or framework so it executes instantly. With xposed its a bridge. When the code is to be ran it is then directed to the xposed framework app process which then checks if its enabled in xposed then goes back to continue or then runs the modified code which is then piped back as output which you see on your screen. As such app process was never a good place to insert a hijack because that forms a sort of core for executing apps whether they be legit or otherwise.

Alliance does not nor will ever support xposed. If you run it on your device and have an issue we will most likely laugh at you for the reasons stated by [MENTION=4412122]Bubba[/MENTION]. And dont lie cause we can see it in the logs. And we also cant fix the issue without a log. So... Do what you want but eventually xposed will become a target. Its only a matter of time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Morningstar:
I lurk in many places. Besides, I'm not going to miss a thread from another Alliance member. [emoji6]

Edit: Well said, [MENTION=4469503]TheDriller[/MENTION]. Xposed is something that sounds great, in theory, and don't get me wrong, it can enhance the end user experience (in some circumstances), but the way that it works is a nightmare for developers.

Besides enabling serious security risks, it can (and does) make tracing problems extremely difficult (if not impossible), because you simply can't tell what block of code is being run at any given time, or where it originates from. As such, neither Alliance as a whole nor its' individual members/developers support or condone the use of Xposed, nor will we be willing or able to provide any assistance with any issues that may arise on a device using Xposed. That goes for Alliance releases and any other releases by the Alliance developers.

One of these days I may just make an Xposed module and thread demonstrating just how dangerous Xposed can be...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bleksedo:
can i flash it to note 3 SM900J scl22??? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
You should. It would be enough to get me into the java side with you.[emoji90]
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Morningstar:
I believe it can. If not, then a simple edit to the updater-script will allow it to flash. I don't know if anyone has tried it on that model yet or not though, so there may be some unforseen issues. Try it and let us know!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] booogermonkey:
If it is a snapdragon phone, I don't see why not. Make sure to backup first
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bleksedo:
Thanks for answer.. for now i still use phronesis

If i used it..i will give the news
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
It seems you're running xposed....uninstall and try again please
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zetlorf:
I also would to know, but i think its not fixed - at least no words about the fix... :(

Ehh, I'll live with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Air-真心为你:
The build 4 is rock stable without any problems till now. Only sdcard name is annoying me sometimes. And have you ever considered update the rom base ? I noticed that the security patch is still Dec.1 ver. Thanks for your hard work :svetius:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
What? You didnt believe me when i said we can tell if youre running xposed? Or that we will not help you if you are?

Smh...

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Security patch has absolutly nothing to do with the base.

Sometimes the latest bases have more bugs than the older ones. Latest is not always best. The idea here i think was to bring a build that has everything working. Then those changes can be merged incremntally to newer bases. Stability is paramount more than who has the newest code.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] karmatose:
I didn't read the bellyaching about xposed until after I posted my findings. And I'm not willing to give up the couple of modules I use to reproduce the issue without them so I'll live with the issue. It's not a show stopper by any means.

No need to get all high and mighty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
What you consider to be bellyaching and high and mighty is actually a reasonable and helpful explanation on why we dont support xposed in our roms.

Unfortunately this is a trend with the current generation of xda users. They dont read. I'm sorry that my post was not helpful enough, or perhaps too complicated and long winded to understand for you. I will be sure to keep further posts of that nature short and uncomplicated to help with users who prefer not to read, and also to help with the flow of the thread [emoji106]

Have a wonderful day, sir.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] karmatose:
You're right. I'm an ignorant **** and don't deserve to share the internet with you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hapa8o8:
Thanks for the explanation. I enjoy reading up on new things like this. I used to develop back in the G1 days and haven't bothered to look into xposed coding and process.

I know that ROMs are starting to include some of them, but do you think Roms will start to implement the modules like YouTube playing with screen off and such?

Also, what would you recommend similar to Xprivacy in controlling/restricting app access?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mstevan:
Sparx, pls, i know this is not on your prio list yjust one more small thing, please please please :)

Make touch button lights :)

Everything else is more than rock stable :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
How about no?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mstevan:
Ok, then no will be ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eseregin:
Thanks for ROM guys 8-) wish you keep up working on this ROM. Thank you for sharing this, we all appreciate the huge job you have done, and all success for all your future plans to implement in reality 8-)

this rom is the first 6.0 daily driver i found. kudos for that! really, really good job. call, wifi, data, bluetooth. not a single bug so far. and pretty ok battery life.

typical alliance work :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Ok, so i finally managed to port Slim recents!

But if you try to switch back to stock recents it goes crazy and it needs wiping to reset...I'm thinking of disabling stock for now to save me undoing it all, then trying to fix over the weekend.

Sounds ok?

Um..... Its better not to remove the stock recent. There are still those who want stock recent including me. No need to rush, take your time. You already achieved the stability.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Bubba:
The rom may be stable. But [MENTION=4207059]sparx[/MENTION] is no way close to achieving stability. There is not enough Tinfoil in the UK for that.

Actually, you probably already know this, but for those that don't, you can change the hardware keys manually by editing /system/use/keylayout/Generic.kl. Just note that if you do so, it may not play nice with any future implementation Sparx may make for remapping the keys.

Anybody use a MS Exchange Mail Account in build 5?

After connect to my enterprise mail server iam accepted the policys and activated the lock option pattern.

But after that, iam able to deactivate the lockscreen security and the policy can't grab.

@ Sparx: Do you need a logcat for this security issue?

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
All good...except no wifi calling, read op regarding reboot after install

Yup, log is needed...but i don't use ms exchange so I'll try my best
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] blazethelight:
Here the record of the logcat file, after iam deactivate the pattern option... with active ms exchange security option.

Thanks sparx! ?

I am use simultaneous this rom & [ROM][6.0.1_r10][HLTE]RESURRECTION REMIX M [CM13] [25/01/2015]. In the RESURRECTION REMIX M doens´t grabs the MS Exchnage policy too. Maybe a generally CM13 bug?

Its enough to set the lock pattern & after that, to deactivate pattern again ...than start terminal an type: "logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.log *:V" ?

Big thanks and greetz!

Have you tried TopNPT? Used to work for me on note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jac2911:
what kernel you using?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jeroenvk:
Why does it download a .jar file?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jac2911:
Is my details same with u all? I try get GPS signal but for few hours letting the phone outdoor still get 0 signal
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ciuchino2:
Try with another GPS app, it seems that some of the most downloaded ones are not compatible with Marshmellow.

Some quick note on this rom:

- Google Now "everywhere" doesn't work with the default launcher, probabily because of an old Google Search bar integrated. Installed Google Experience Launcher and everything works well.

- S-Pen works but (obviously) only as a pointer device by default, i.e. without circle menu, anyway this rom seems to be fully compatible with apps like SpenCommand :good:

- In order to make "percentage inside battery icon" work, you have to reboot after applying it, it's not needed for the others settings (strange but not a big issue)

- S-View cover seems to be partially supported (screen turns off and on when closing/opening the cover, however S-View window stays black). I didn't find any 3rd party app compatible, but this is a common issue with all custom roms based on Android 5.1.x and higher

- Lock Screen is from Lollipop(?) (dialer icon instead of Google Now on the bottom left corner, check this image for reference)

Sparx, you did a really great job here. :good:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] earl520:
Guys, i want to ask. A problem with the frame drops in notification drawer and recents panel is over all cm13. Well, i just want to ask, is this problem present in this rom? I just want to try.. I have been ages here in CM 12.1
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eseregin:
You may try it, cause this ROM based on AOSP, not CM code
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mstevan:
Latest arter97 kernel is not compatible with slim, only for tw 5.0 roms and as he say, for temasek cm13 only.

Yes this rom has Doze function, because it is MM 6.0 feature.

I have 2 bugs. One is I can not use bluetooth headset for voice calls, because there are some problems with sound. Another one is that recent apps becomes very laggy aftet few days of use. Reboot cures this problem.

And yes it runs smooth without any other problems. I am using this rom from beginning.
