so i've found a bug with clockwork rom manager. The contact pictures in the sms app will show up perfectly fine, but the second you run a fix permissions through the rom manager, the contact pictures disappear and wont come back. i did a nandroid before so i could verify this, and sure as anything, when i restored before the fix permissions the pictures came back.
i may be in the wrong forum, but i figured since the rom manager is mostly development side, it would be good here
I completely agree. Is there any fix for this?
this happened to me today. i reflashed cwm recovery and sms contact pics reappeared

Can I ask why you tried the fix permissions? What is it supposed to do for you?

Am I supposed to answer you this question?
I do not get if you are not going to answer a proper response, why to bother in typing so useless reply?
For the records yes I tried and since I could not find anything I decided to ask. Even tried to make an update.zip by myself and flash it, but it screw my media and system volume, so yes I have tried to do things before posting.

Well, since you said you tried to google... First let me say that I'm not sure where the DSP Manager comes from, so copyright/licensing might apply.
I'm not sure if the Sense version is different, but there is a DSP Manager in CM6. You could unzip the CM6 update, extract the .apk from the system/app folder and then install via abd or a file manager from the SD card.
If the Sense DSP Manager is different, you might be able to do something similar with a Sense based ROM.
EDIT: If you are getting volume/media issues with your homegrown version, that might suggest that you need the a different kernel, i.e. install CM6. There might be other ROM offerings that will give you Sense and the right kernel, but I don't follow that kind of stuff very carefully.

By just installing the apk is not enough, you need to pass the lib.so file to system/lib however not even like that works

Anybody try to install the DSP Manager on the Vision yet via the apk or flashing it (not the built in DSP Manager on some custom ROMs)? I've been looking at this, since the lack of equalizer on the phone is maddening. I've been hesitant to try DSP Manager, since it seems to cause issues on some phones, according to the following thread.

Slightly off-topic question: why are you bumping so many threads that are over a month old?
Dear internet community,
i would like to adress my problems concerning the installation of Xposed and GravityBox on my Fairphone. You must know that this is my very first smartphone and i dont really know how to use them yet. But i know that i would like to be able to change my Locksreen wallpaper, whÃch is the only intention for me to try to install Xposed in the first place.
So lets get to the nuts and bolts:
Firstly i tried to "unroot" my phone (of which i dont have any clue what that might mean), but the program i used (universal unroot) gave me this message upon trying: "please allow root access now. If you cant allow root access your device is most likely not rooted". At this point i dont know if i am able to allow root acess to that program, which ist rediculous in itself since this program should allow me to do that in the first place. I checked in the settings but couldnt find anything that looked like root access.
The next step was to install Xposed (version 2.6.1 and then 2.7 both with the same result). After the installation and the reboot, Xposed states unter the "Framework" category that: "the latest version of Xposed is currently not active (my app manager tells me it is). Did you install the framework and reboot?". Again i did the reboot and i installed it. If try to go further into the Framework menu and press the "install/update"-button it tells me: "failed to get root access. make sure your device is rooted properly and you have not blocked shell commands".
My question now is: do you have a solution for my problem? I would be very thankfull and appreciative if you would offer me a solution, since my intentional desire of changing the Lockscreen Wallpaper is such a small thing that it is quite hillaours as to how much effort has to be put in to change this small detail. Please dear community, help me out!
With kind regards
Alex

First of all: I see no point in "unrooting" my device. Since you said, you don't have any clue what that might mean, maybe this helps.
The term "root" is comparable to the "admin rights" on your computer. Some people do not need those rights. But If you don't need it just don't use it. If you "unroot" your device, what you do is, you throw away those admin rights. I don't see why you want to do this. The only reason which comes to my mind, is if you want your manufacture to repair your phone using your warranty. They basically don't like it if your phone is rooted, and say it violates the warranty conditions. But then again: fairphone comes pre-rooted, so having root does not void the warranty of your fairphone.
Usually if a program wants to have those root(/admin) rights, a screen pops up where you have to confirm that the app might use those rights.
If you want to know for what root rights can be good for, just google "rooting android" or something like that to read up on that topic.

Seems like you are actually unrooted. To use xposed and all its cool modules you need to have root rights. Unrooting your phone to use xposed is just contra productive. Maybe install SuperSU to re-gain root rights. But maybe you need to re-flash your OS.

Wait, what? Did I understand correctly, that you unrooted your phone to use an app that requires root so that you can change your lockscreen background?
Dude, you can do this in the settings without any root/unroot/xposed stuff.
As you said it is just a small detail, and such a standard feature, so it would be CRAZY if you need to go through such a hassle.
Just go into settings and somewhere in the display or lockscreen settings you can choose a background (you might need to disable the mood background for this). I do not have my fairphone anymore, so I cannot tell you where exactly that option is. Maybe someone else can point to the the exact location of that setting.

I can't find any option for a different lockscreen image on my FP - only normal background image (wich is then also used for lockscreen, if I have mood background disabled). So I would also suggest GravityBox, which seems to be a too complex topic for your first smartphone ever...

I know that this option is there. I had a custom lockscreen background (without using some xposed module like gravitybox). I will check with a friend who has a Fairphone, and tell you where the setting is.
I am sorry. Apparently I was mistaken. Changing the lockscreen background to a different wallpaper than the homescreen background seems not to be possible. You can just choose between mood background or not. I thought I had two different backgrounds while I had my Fairphone, but seems like I was wrong. sorry
Why is this not implemented? What I know for sure is that is a feature in CM and and Samsungs stock android version. I do not know about AOSP android.
Thanks for your feedback, Hyst!
I second your question about the missing implementation, but that's quite in a row with some other phone's stock features I am missing on the FP - e.g. a more solid gps, special character search in contacts and some other things other phones can do. Then I remember, Fairphone is still quite new on the market and neither has the experience nor the financial background to act like e.g. Samsung would do. And taken that into account, I'm sure they will grow with the requirements...

Yeah i know now why the Phone needs to be rooted in order to work in a way i would like it to.

So atm the only viable solution that i could find is to reflash the Android of my phone. I tried to but the installation progress aborts itself so i am not able to reflash atm. The Fairphone support team got a mail from me, so lets wait and see.

Now in a later post of yours you said that it is not possible. But i qould like to go into why i unrooted my phone. I was watching a Video from this site and misunderstood what has been said. I unrooted my phone, thinking that this would be necessary to make Xposed work. By that time i didnt really know how all of this works. I know its a rookie mistake and a "stupid" one, but i learned something and i am okay with it.
The next task now is to reflash my phone. Maybe you guys have an idea as to why it wont work: I followed the instructions on the Fairphone website and it still aborts during installation.
Edit: I am not allowed to linkt external websites, so i cant give you the video and fairphone installation guide links.
Greetings

Hope I didn't get it completely wrong but just wanna throw in another idea: why don't you reset your phone to factory settings? Reflashing it sounds like a lot of work for a beginner like you.. (Didn't do it either)
Since the phone is/was rooted from release on, resetting it should do the charme, imo. If you don't have a lot of files to lose I'd try that.
PS: really funny how complicated it got for you since your main intention was to change the lockscreen wallpaper )

Thanks for the link, i will try that in the meantime
PS: That, unfortunately, didnt do the trick
Edit2:
Since the Fairphone support hasn't replied yet, i tried another solution, but i need to ask you guys for help. I was following the instructions in the Fairphone wiki under the "How to restore Fairphone if you totally bricked it" topic. All the necessary files and programes are downloaded. Now when i choose the scatter file of the fairphone binarys the program gives me this message: "Error initialising scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file which you load is legal". if i press the download button the program gives me this message: "Download list is empty, please select a scatter file before executing"
I really dont get this. The fairphone binarys are supposed to work with this program, yet they are not. Can anyone help? Is there something really pbvious i have overlooked?

I don't think you need to go through that mouch trouble as you're still able to use your phone (if I understood that correctly).
How about re-installing the Fairphone software from recovery? There's a nice guide on how to do that at:
fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202478028-Manually-install-Fairphone-OS-software-update-version-Cherry-1-6
Afterwards the superuser binaries should be back and you will have root access again.

Thanks for the hint, but that exact process does not work, since the update aborts itself giving an error message but not specifiying on which error exactly cause it to abort... I am frustrated at this point.

Which Fairphone model do you have? If it's the old one (from last year's batch), did you already use the repartitioning tool to "unify" your internal storage? Which update did you try to apply (exact filename)?

Its the second Batch phone, so the FP1U. I tried it with almost any OS given on the homepage. Those are the ones i tried:
OTA_AOSP-4.2.2_2014-08-05.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_Cherry_1.6_FUSE_Image_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_1G13G_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
The Fairphone updater tells me that my phone is running the "Chenpi" version 1.5 which i cannot find on the hompage (thats strange isnt't it?)
What else could be done here?

Applying that one from recovery clearly should have worked. I've even used it myself with my (already repartitioned) first batch phone.
If you want to be sure the .zip file you downloaded is not corrupted, compute its MD5 checksum. If you're under Windows, use a tool like heise.de/download/md5summer.html
Under Linux, just use md5sum <filename>
The checksum should match the one found on Fairphone's software update page: 664ca09368a4c922a12dc2526afe092b

1.5 is the version your phone was shipped with, I think. As they issued the update to 1.6 just a few days after the new phones started shipping, I guess they thought putting only the new image up on their website was enough.

The awesome support Team worked something out and my phone is finally rerooted! Now, i have installed Xposed, rebooted it, installed Gravitybox, rebooted it and both programs are working fine. After some fiddling around it finally has worked!! For most of you it might seem to be a small thing and really not that important, but for me it is. Honestly the only two things i really use to personalize the phone is the Wallpaper / Lockscreen and the WakeupCall ringtone.
Thank you so much for all of your support and patience!

LONG shot here, but every since I upgraded to Android R I can't use Icon-packs withing Elixir Widget anymore.
It says "No Permission to use this feature". The icon pack is downloaded (back from Q) but I can't activate it. Already gave the app all permissions possible but no luck. If I try to download other icon-packs I get another loooong error which most likely relates to not being able to write into that specific location (I think write access got changed in P/Q/R or whenever it was)
Anybody have any idea how to fix this?
thanks
Yep, I had the same problem... the thing is Elixir Widgets is really old and is not updated anymore. So just dump it and find a replacement... I got "device info with battery widget"... it doesn't have all options like Elixir but is cool and has some info....
I'm also looking for a replacement, but haven't found one yet...
