[Q] Apps crashing after rooting 4.4.2 - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact running Android v4.4.2 (build #14.3.A.0.757) and I rooted it yesterday using Easy Root Tool. The rooting went off without a hitch and I’ve installed Titanium Backup and a few Xposed Framework modules. The battery life is just as great as before and the device is working great, in general.
However, some third-party apps are crashing upon launch, like Attendance Tracker and Tapatalk, for example. And if I tap on any drop-down menu anywhere in the configuration for Tasker’s plugins, that plugin crashes. Also, I cannot use Face Unlock anymore because it crashes when I tap on it as well.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.

Turns out it was due to this one Xposed module that supposedly adds fast scrolling everywhere. I uninstalled it and all the problems have vanished.
Well, except for Face Unlock, which still crashes the Settings app. Not sure how to fix that.
But anyway, please feel free to close this thread.

[Q] How to use App Ops on the Note P605?

Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now
Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers
Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.

I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?
I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted

Play Services Wakelocks, causing batt draining and overheating - This worked for me!

**English is not my first language and i haven't used it for a long time, knowing that you should consider to forgive me any mispelling and bad language.
I've had a extreamly ugly case of this phenamenon for the last 7-0 days. And tried almost every method that people here and on XDA have been posting about the subject, with absolute zero luck.
But, yesterday i decided to mix together methods that i had seen from other people, there were few that i tought was more logical than other so why not give it a try. And it worked
Please notice that this is not my work, this is completely other peoples knowledge that i simply put together.
I have LG G3 D855, but theoretically it should work on any kind.
you're device have to have root access and Xposed framework.
open App ops (you can find many apps on play to access it) scroll down to Google Play Services and disable the permissons "Wake" and "keep awake" Then repeat this on Android System and Google Search, you´ll find them on same list as play services.
Install 3C Toolbox (aka Android Tuner) and activate it in Xposed.
on the list on the left in 3C Toolbox, scroll down to Apps manager and select apps startup and events, there you find the same apps as before and when you click each one you´ll get a dropdown with endless processes, find and uncheck "WAKEUP"
On the list on the left navigate to app permissions and click "prevent phone from sleeping. Find those apps there and turn the switch to "block"
Now restart your device.
This should do the trick, or at least it worked for me. I went from 80% wake to sweet deep sleep most of the time that im not using the phone.
I Should add that i also installed Greenify and added those and few more apps to it.
I hope this will help at least someone

Thanks for the useful information.
I see in your sign you're using AndroidNow: did you apply those tricks on that ROM or on the stock one?
What app did you install for enabling App Ops access?
There are many on the GP and some apparently have some kind of problems (uninstalling, crashing, etc.).

Yes i am using AndroidNow, but first time i applied these settings i was on rooted stock rom , it works on both of them.
I noticed this morning that this seems to disable the location settings of Android Device Manager. so there are some functions that this will cost, but in my opinion i had so much batt draining, that device manager is pretty much useless if the battery is off. So untill google wipes their asses and update play services this is the best i can do.
I have used these two apps to access app ops, both have been successfull:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter
the app ops starter has the opinion too check if your rom has app ops by default fefore trying to add it to the device. And i´ve found out that in LG G3 D855 international the app ops settings actually are availeble in android 4.4.2 so i haven't had to flash the settings yet. i just used the app to add a feature to access the setting.
I hope this was helpfull and answers your questions, and sorry how i´ve not been able to reply earlier, we're on different timezones and i usually just visit this site at nights, sometimes everyday, and sometimes everyother day.

Best Xposed modules for the HTC 10

I'm new to android and have a 10, now rooted with Xposed installed and working.
What are people's favourite Xposed modules that work on the 10?

Forgot to mention the only module I use at the moment if greenify

I don't know but I would like to see a module that can bring my navigation bar back. The placement of the hardware keys are too low to be ergonomic, for me at least.
GravityBox MM is all you need

Just edit /system/build.prop and add the following line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Hi guy ,is your GravityBox working fine? there're lots of apps crash after the second reboot on my phone.
I'm using xKindleMod. It's a must have if you use the Kindle app. Also using YouTube Ad Away.
And I only had a couple of status bar mods work for me with GravityBox. I didn't try too many, but even centering the clock made the battery % disappear. I ended up uninstalling it since it wasn't very compatible.

I've found a couple of guides online that suggest alarms and wakelocks to limit. I've used to lists from those guides, but have found roughly only half of the suggested alarms and wakelocks in the HTC 10 specifically. Are you aware of any HTC 10 specific wakelocks and alarms I should limit? How do you have yours set up?
All you need brother is ,gravitybox mm. Boot manager And greenify. And if you really want to take it over the edge just delete all the junk crap that HTC put on your phone lol and also Flash Elite kernel lol ??

I must tell that with Magisk and systemless xposed, I had all the modules I tried successfully working without any problems. But beware of enabling modules that are made for other phones (for example Sony Xperia modules...) Just do this: Before enabling module read the description for compatibility with different phones and systems... I have a lot of modules running not officially compatible but they work anyway - Example: GravityBox MM is working perfectly except for the above written issue. If some module cause bootloop or freezes, just go in the TWRP, decrypt data and then navigate to Advanced->File Explorer (or manager, I am not sure) When file manager in TWRP is opened, navigate to /data/app/[name of problematic module] and delete the whole folder... Then your phone will work again.
I have working those:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android N-ify
App Settings 1.13
ChromePie
Google Photos Bottom Bar Remover
GravityBox MM
Heads Off
Hide Mock Location
MinMinGuard
MoonPhase
NoShareServices
PoGoIV
Pokemon Go IV Checker
Pokemon Go Joystick
Prevent Running
Route selector
Snapprefs
Tumblr AdAway
Xposed Additions
Youtube AdAway
Youtube Background Playback
Also do not forget AdAway, but it is not module but a must have app

Please people, before you are doing something and preventing things that you "think" are causing drain, just try to do what I will write now... I have done this same things since HTC Desire and its still the most efective thing that I could have done, I dont need to install any other app like Amplify or Greenify to disable things. Everytime, first setup your phone and install all apps you want. Yes, this includes Facebook app and other battery draining apps, just install everything you will use, even if it is just an app you will use once a month. It is important all apps are logged in and synced like you want them. If you use auto-sync, enable it for apps you want and everything... Then go into Settings->Apps and open every app and change permissions FOR EVERY APP you installed what to allow and what not. For example I only allow Storage and Contacts access permission for Whatsapp and Viber. If you also take a lot of pictures with camera when in Viber or Whatsapp, you should allow Camera permission too... Just know what you will use app for and then make permissions like that. I revoker all permissions for Facebook and Messenger, and I only enable Storage permission when I upload a photo and disable it after that. Okay, after you fixed all the permissions like you want you use phone until you go to sleep. Before you go to sleep FULLY CHARGE your phone to 100%. You have to leave Wi-Fi ON, auto-sync enabled and everything just like you want the settings to be when you use your phone through the day. After it is 100%, create an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Disconnect the charger after that. After you wake up in the morning, look at the battery percentage. I loose about 4-5% through the night, this is about 0,5% per hour. You have to remember that I loose ONLY 0,5% per hour AND I have WiFi PLUS auto-sync enabled I receive all email, viber, everything After you see the battery percentege go into Settings->Power->Battery Usage and take a look what is draining battery (If you have more than 1% per hour, here you should see what is the problem. Also take a look in Settings->Power->History, here you should see if you had any wakelocks.
Look at attached picture, first one is what is OK and second one is NOT OK.
If you have any wakelocks or if you want to manage running apps in background go into Xposed application and download and enable Prevent Running xposed module. Reboot the phone. After that, open Prevent Running and go into Advanced Settings. Enable options "Lock Sync", "Auto Prevent"(enable this only if you want every new installed app to be automatically prevented running in background), Allow Unknown Sender, Force stop important system apps.
Go out of the Prevent Running settings and and click and select "Auto Prevent" for every app you dont want to run in the background. I enabled Auto Prevent for all apps I dont use often and also for apps I use often but I dont want them running in background (Like Here WeGo navigation, Drippler, Google Goggles, Hostelworld, Pinterest, Pokemon GO, Root Explorer, Shazam, SoundHound, Translate, Tumblr, Twitter, Wake On Lan, Docs, Drive, Facebook, Photos, Youtube, Maps,...) BEWARE that all apps you Auto Prevent will not run in background if you exit from them with back button or if you remove them from recents. They can still run in background if you press home button, then they are running until you remove them from recents
This is how I achieved performance like it is on first screenshot attached here.
I hope this helps someone

Disabling Chrome Causes Other Apps to FC

INFO:
OP5t A5010_43_180613
OxygenOS: 5.1.3
Android: 8.1.0
Root: Magisk v16.0
OEM: Unlocked
Bootloader: Unlocked
Recovery: TWRP
No custom ROM
DETAILS:
I’ve done some cursory searching here on XDA and across the wider interwebs and I’m hoping someone reading this can provide some insight, or, at the very least, help me to better understand an issue I’m experiencing.
I have a rooted OP5t running OxygenOS - no special ROMs (as mentioned at the top of this post).
At some point after initially rooting my device (purchased Jan 2018), I was able to disable Chrome, Youtube, Community (OnePlus), Duo, Play Movies & TV, Play Music and a host of other pre-packaged apps I never use. Since then, I have been able to use my OP5t with no issues. I simply use the apps I use, get updates from Play and carry-on with life. In general, if an app I do not use has the option to disable it [via Settings > Apps > Application List > $AppInfo], I have disabled it; otherwise, I have used Titanium Backup’s “Freeze” option.
That is, until last night. (Sidenote: Someday I’ll learn to leave well enough alone!)
Last night I decided that I wanted to be finally rid of the apps I don’t use. So, for starters, I uninstalled Chrome and Youtube via Titanium Backup and stopped there. All went well until I attempted to open GMail. Gmail FC’d. I tried another app, it FC’d too. WTH?
So, this morning I decided, “Okay, let’s restore these from Titanium and see which of these is potentially causing the other apps to FC.” The process for restoring Chrome took ages (my god it’s an unwieldingly huge app!) but I finally got them both it and YouTube restored, along with their respective data. Whew! Cool. I tested the other apps and got no FC! \0/ <(YAY!) Cool. So, I set about disabling YouTube. With YouTube successfully disabled, I tested my other apps and nothing is FCing. Great!
I then set my sights on Chrome: No dice. When I disable Chrome, other apps FC. (Damn) Fine. I’ll enable it and restrict its data use and block its access via firewall. Cool. That works. So, I end up slightly close to where I started last night, except I can’t disable Chrome again.
Is Chrome that interwoven into AOSP that I can no longer disable it?
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this issue and has success in disabling the prepackaged Chrome on OP5t.
Thanks in advance!
Because it is enabled as webview.check in developer option.

Thanks for that lead. Here's what I'm seeing, but first, current status:
I have Chrome disabled (and Force Stopped). I attempt to open GMail and it FCs.
In looking at Settings > Developer Options > Webview implementation, I now see Android System Webview 65.0.3325.109 as selected (checked) and the entry for Chrome 67.0.3396.87 is greyed out.
If I enable Chrome, Gmail doesn't FC and (in Webview) Chrome 67.... is selected (checked) while Android System Webview is greyed out.
In either scenario, the greyed out option also notes "(disabled for $user)" - which makes some sense. Kinda. [shrug?]
I'm guessing (although, admittedly without good reason) that the two Webview implementations are not compatible.
Any idea where to go from here? (I'll be searching for Webview implementations in another window).
Thanks in advance.
Is your Android System WebView updated? Mine shows v68.0.3440.40
Chrome implementation is not good in oos,I wrote about it many times but it never got fixed. Fix for me was to use hydrogen os based Roms ?

Maybe the best option for you is a AOSP ROM... I use Dirty Unicorns, very smooth and fast and clean of Google apps...
Much better than OOS

I'm not certain about it but I think since Oreo onwards webview was changed from Android Webview to Chrome Webview hence if you manage to crash Chrome, then all apps that utilize the Chrome Webview will crash respectively, I can personally vouch for this cause I remember I had accidently tried updating Chrome with an ARM version of the app and all my apps using Chrome Webview crashed and when I finally realized and updated it with ARM64 it worked flawlessly.
What I derived from this is if you managed to break Chrome Webview it crashes a whole lot of Google Apps. I don't know if there is a work around for this you look around for Micro G Apps which could theoretically replace the Chrome Webview; however, you're on OOS I'm not sure if that combination would work.
Using OB10 and it's normal, lol

Banking app crashes on RR

Hi, all -
I have a G7 Play (xt 1952-4) running Resurrection Remix 8.7.2.
When I use my banking app to cash a check, the banking app crashes immediately after taking the first picture. The screen goes black for a few seconds, then I am returned to the login screen.
I have another xt 1952-4 running stock android. The app works fine on there, no problem cashing checks.
I got the .apk for my RR phone from the stock android phone by using MyAppSharer from the play store and then bluetoothing the .apk to the RR phone.
Other than the crash described above, I have found no issues with the app on the RR phone.
Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? I'd go to my bank and ask them to fix the app, but I don't think they'll care about supporting a phone with a custom ROM on it...
Thanks much for any input!
Hey, all -
Just reaching out again to see if anyone has any words of wisdom on this.
Thanks!
