Chrome Crash - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is related to the GPS issue or the recent update, but my Chrome Browser stopped working. Every time I launch it it crashes within a few seconds without any FC dialogue.
My GPS works fine so I don't understand what's going on.
Has this been reported?

I'd try wiping cache and data for Chrome. I don't have this issue, and I haven't seen it reported by anyone else.

Yeah I have a similar set up on 15J, my Chrome does crash very frequently on certain pages. I noticed in CatLog it has something to do with Java. I suspect (although cannot confirm yet) it's related to Xposed Framework as it happened after I got it running on my device (or a module installed with Xposed).
For a temporary work-around I've been using Dolphin Browser with minimal usage issues.

Thanks for your reply. Great to hear it not stock issue rather a modification.
Hopefully, Xposed Framework gets updated soon, but I'm wondering why my N4 is not affected of that is case.

Maybe it's just something we have with our tablets. I wouldn't immediately point fingers at Xposed but that was just a correlation for me. I've just been too lazy to make a Nandroid backup, uninstall and completely remove Xposed and all of the modules, just to figure out if it was Xposed.
I would test it out before you say this is the plausible cause.
However, I find that my issue may be related to XPrivacy more, but I need to test it some more to confirm

I can confirm myself Xposed was the culprit. I was using version 2.1.4 and had upgraded to the latest '2.2' which had many bug fixes and updated 'XposedBridge.jar'.
Many thanks again.

Ad blocker on 4.4

Anyone found one that works well after the update? No ads on my phone (rom'd Note2) apps but they are all over the place on the 7!
AdAway works for me, works via the hosts file so it blocks ads everywhere

Try, making sure your SuperSU binary is up to date then clear the adaway's data in settings. Launch the app and download and apply the host file. I had to do this step a couple of times but once it updated without stopping/crashing everything has been working.

I noticed if the screen goes off while AdAway is updating the hosts file, it'll hang and the only way to get it up and running again is force stopping and clearing the app's data, but keep the screen on and you should be okay

Both Adblock Plus and AdAway are working fine for me - I use both, since they use entirely different methods of blocking ads. They never conflict for me, and whatever tiny loss of efficiency exists is a terrific trade for NEVER seeing an ad, anywhere.....ever.
They survived a non-OTA 4.4 upgrade and re-rooting for me. I lost wifi manager and the Xposed framework, but nothing else.

Is it in the play store?

Device running sluggish/lagfest stock rom AT&T

I've had my g3 since it was released for pre-order. The past two days the device has been running really slow, everything I do it seems there's a second or two delay especially with text input, its just stock rooted with xposed and greenify, titanium used to freeze all the bloat but that was day 1, just yesterday I was messaging someone on Facebook and there was a delay in typing a message, haven't added many apps on the device either, also my phone doesn't get hot and I don't leave my brightness no more than 40%, usually at auto 0%, I really don't want to factory reset but I might have to seeing its to slow to use yet there isn't really much running on the device. Any help would be appreciated thanks
Also in dev options animations are turned off
mine was running like that when using the chainfire supersu app, i was also getting bad battery life due to a wakelock related to it. i switched to the chainsdd app and now the phone is super smooth and the battery life is greatly improved.
ymmv

I also got a parsing error when trying to install g3 tweaks box if it means anything, might try a factory reset or an exchange, thankfully I have a nexus 7 2013 but it's a piece due to the plagued random reboot problem

i used towel root for what it's worth. also, if you installed anything around when it started to bog down, maybe uninstall recent apps and see if that helps

i'm on the 1.1 beta, installed fine. i haven't used a benchmarking app in a long time, but that's a pretty normal number from what other reviewers have gotten on this phone

[email protected] and the OnePlus 3- Anyone running into any issues?

Has anyone run across issues with the MobileIron SecureApps module not being found after previously working just fine on the most recent OxygenOS Beta 13?
Yes, Mine is constantly losing configs, saying its not registered but works again when a force check in is done.
You know how your work has the config set up? I just finished deploying for our work environment using android enterprise and it is working flawlessly with exception of a few add-on launchers. I run several different ROMs and it works on all of them.

I am not sure. Now that I am on OOS Beta 19 it only seems to happen much less frequently. I have found you can just go to the Secure Apps app, it will prompt you for your password, and that this is enough to get the other apps (Mail, Calendar, etc) to see the Secure Apps and allow login. My Help desk raised a ticket with MobileIron, who acknowledge that they are aware of the issue. Now that I know I can get access restored by logging into Secure Apps module, it is not a headache anymore.
Why do you use such piece of software on rooted devices?

I am not rooted. That is what the Secure App module checks.

So, mobile iron fixed this issue, I was reading through their android corner the other day. Should've posted the content here for you. When I get back to work tomorrow on Monday, I'll try and remember to post the fix.
It's pretty simple, just have to enable secureapps at startup, but can't remember where to do this.

From the Mobile Iron Support site:
Work Around
Enable Secure App Manager in App Auto-Launch.
On the One Plus device go to Settings > Apps
Click on Settings
Settings > Apps
Scroll down and click on App auto-launch
App auto-launch
Enable Secure App Manager
Enable Secure App Manager
Since I'm running AOSP, I'm not really running into any issues. I'm also using my device as a BYOD, but hopefully this helps.
I'm trying to install the [email protected] app on my device OnePlus 3 which is running on Oxygen OS 5 (Android 8.0.0), I'm getting similar error message. With Oxygen OS 5 there is no option to Enable Secure App Manager or modify App Auto Launch settings. What is the work around? Please help.

I checked the mobile iron forums and have not seen a work around for Oreo. Strange however, I have it installed and everything is running fine. Are you using the device in a BYOD environment or in a corporate owned state?
A lot of [email protected] has to do with the way it is set up (phone to server), so without knowing all of this information, I can't necessarily recommend any fixes.
Can you throw up some app settings and screen shots by chance? Please blur out any information before hand that is no one else should know.

Xposed vs Fb Messanger

I'm on android oreo, it's been months i'm using xposed on it when in comes out on Jan but this days I have this problem where while I'm typing on facebook messenger, can you guys help?
Im having the same problem, the moment I open any conversation, messenger closes/crash

Same here, I have to use messenger version 189 to not make it crash. 190+ you have to disable Xposed to enter a chat without the app crashing.
Good for you. Do you have the new messenger UI?

Probably that's why it works for you then. It will stop working for you too probably when you get the new UI. And that seems to be random when users get it

They've already started pulling the new ui because of bugs, but again this has NOTHING to do with Xposed. Unless you're dumb enough to use that module for messenger, then again it's still not Xposed it's the horribly programmed module. I'll end this thread, any of you willing to post a log showing Xposed is crashing messenger, I'll fix it.
I don't use any module. It just crashes for me if I use a newer version than 189. If I disable xposed, messenger works again. It's just not me having this problem: https://www.google.se/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/9lj66j/help_xposed_crashes_messenger/
It's true. Newer messenger versions tend to crash on devices with xposed (regardless what modules are used).
I was not able to even capture a log of such crashes, which is very weird.

I was not able to capture a logcat. It crashed without writing anything to the system log.
Not sure how the latest version behaves as I'm still on some older one.

Google Phone with call blocking

I had been using the GPhone app that was provided by another dev, but it had a known issue where it wouldn't provide the call blocking/spam filtering features.
I recently ran across this article that shows a way to get these features working, and have the GPlay verison of the app download (and update) normally. I take no credit for the mod, but I did install it and it does work. I don't know if it call-blocks, but I guess I'll find out. I don't get many spam calls, but if someone else does please let us know that this sub-feature does work as intended.
Anyway, here's the article: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...blocking-business-search-any-android-0192637/
Basically, it's a Magisk module that allows you to download the Play store app. It says that you have to install the app after installing the module, but I found this happened automatically... so maybe something changed on the backend?
In case the article disappears or something, the official project is here on GitHub: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/GoogleDialerFramework
Just wanted to share this, as it seems to work... again, if anyone can confirm the call-blocking features, that would be great!

I had too many issues with Xposed in the past (on previous phones), which is why I stopped using it on this phone. I also did not know that such a framework existed and was the solution to the blocking capability. It makes sense that Xposed could do this, though, as you have said.
Does that mean you confirm that the framework fixes the ability to call-block/filter?

Hahahaha my fault. I actually thought I was using an Xposed module. Turns out it was magisk this whole time.

Edit, the magisk module does it all. It just installs the framework. Then you just clear data from play store.
