I've recently updated to Jedi Mind Trick V. 9, I would of posted this in the development thread, but I do not have enough posts.
Every time I install the Xposed Installer and then link to the Tweakbox Module and restart, I constantly get 'process system not responding', I've tried wait before and the phone just restarts anyways.
I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this error, I've done the installation instructions correctly, wipe cache, wipe data, etc.
I'm completely new to this rooting and rom process so go easy on me.
I don't necessarily need the CRT effect from turning screen on and off, but I just would like this answered for anyone else in the future who wants this effect and wondering why this is happening.
If anyone can tell me how to generate an error report of this happening, I would gladly do so.
Thank you for taking your time to read this and I hope anyone can help!
For the most part it is a known issue. It happens to some people and not others for some reason. I experience the same problems most people do when trying to use/install Tweakbox. It also messes with the lock screen and generally locks up the entire phone at times. Maybe someone with more experience will have a better answer but ptmr3, the dev, knows about it. Whether or not he can, or wants to, fix it will remain to be seen.
If it makes you feel any better it most likely is not something you did. If you followed the OP's instructions then you did what you are supposed to do. Sometimes things just don't work the way they should for every device out there.

Absolutely right. There are people that have problems, but I guess I'm
one of the lucky ones, because I used it on all ptmr3's Roms (I'm currently
on The Sith) and it worked flowlessly.
I hope you use TWRP and in that case, maybe re-download the Rom and
do more than the recommended instructions, like if it says "Wipe Cache", then
go ahead and do it 2 times (except flashing the Rom)....and so on....
That's what I do every time and it looks like it works, coz' I never
had any of the regular problems other people have after flashing.
:good:

Thank you so much, I appreciate the info. I thought I might of did something wrong, I'm glad to know it's just a bug.

I actually used Clockwork Mod, it's one I'm familiar with. I never used TWRP for rooting.
Not being able to use the CRT effects doesn't bother me that much, I just wanted to find out if something was wrong with my installation or phone... it's good to know it's neither!
Thank you for the advice!
Don't use it.... Tweakbox changes things in the framework and android policy jar along with the systemui that don't match our phone's, You're only asking for issues to pop up everywhere. Best thing to do is flash a theme that's for the rom you're using or do the changes you want to the files in the rom yourself.
I dont see a lot of posts about this. But, there is a very annoying bug after the update; where if I press the Home Button to wake the screen, it will sometimes launch the task manager about a second later. I've seen sporadic posts about this for Tmobile as well as Sprint for JB 4.1.2 update; but nobody seems to have a solution.
I guess it's possible that some people dont think it's annoying enough to post; or, it's a possiblility it only affects people who have the factory rooted update installed.
I'm hoping someone smarter than me has already figured out a way to circumvent this very annoying behavior. What makes it really bad is that it only sometimes happens.
PS: The only carrier that doesn't seem to have this issue after the 4.1.2 update is ATT. My guess is they caught this bug before pushing it to all their customers.

I'm going to bet that is you disable your lockscreen you'll see this behavior just about every time. I'm fairly certain I tracked down at least one way to circumvent this behavior - check out this post for some info on it. The take home - my approach requires a wee bit of smali hacking, and everything that utilizing such a solution entails...
Dwitherell, thank you so much for responding. I was even considering on reverting back to 4.1.1 because of this. I don't use any kind password or pattern lock.
Forgive my ignorance, but the post you pointed me to locks like its on a Jedi ROM. I don't even see any specific references to this issue. What is this fix for specifically? If it is for sure going to restore normal behavior, i guess i could try to do this hack.
If this issue is as wide spread as i think it is, is there any chance you could make a tiny root app that fixes the problem or some way of automating a fix for not so technical people? How wide spread is this issue? Thanks a million for your help.

My annoying fix...
I have been plagued by this since the update as well. I have tried factory resets and uninstall programs one by one. Nothing worked. Today I decided to try removing my lock screen pin, just used the swipe to unlock. That did not work. Then it came to me...
I set back up my pin to unlock, and switched the setting "Lock automatically" to Immediately instead of having a delay that I love. That "worked" as in it no longer goes to recent apps. But now I have to chose to have a pin to unlock it every time my screen turns off or remove security or deal with the recent apps issue. Any way you choose it's an extra annoying step to unlock.
I'd like to hear if anyone else has found any other solution.
Edit.... I have tried every lock option and as long as set to lock immediately, it will eliminate the problem. And the same with setting any delay, with any lock option it will result in the recent apps.
I forgot to mention that lock screen prevents this bug from happenening. I'm guessing that's why not everyone has complained about the issue.. and why the bug somehow sneaked passed beta testing of 4.1.2. I would think this changed behavior was a new "feature" as horrible as it is, but it looks like it dad unintentional since its not consistent behavior.
I'm hoping that a kind android developer who also can't stand this problem, Kay offer a small script or app for rooted user to patch this problem.

It was posted in a Jedi thread, but only because that is where I noticed it was mentioned. The context outside that single post was someone stating the same observation as you, my responding saying that I was also annoyed by it, with a later edit saying I may have come up with a workaround for it, and their response of "tell me more". As far as automating a fix or creating an app or the like - that is well beyond my paygrade unfortunately. What are you running? If you are interested you could PM me - all I need is your android.policy.jar (or to know what you are currently running) and I can try to get a fix together for you given some other conditions (i.e. have a custom recovery installed so you can flash things). It seems to have fixed it on my end, but I would be very interested in getting some others to test
You did it! Your fix works perfectly! The bug is gone! ...like the bug was never there. My understanding is the fix prevents the phone from stupidly trying to launch the task manager when the screen wakes by the home button. I also donated for you time and effort. Thanks a million.

No, thank you for making me learn how to put an odexed mod together and testing it for me!
So this fix will work for anyone running a stock odexed version of 4.1.2 UVBMB4 - you just need to be rooted, and having a custom recovery would be nice so you could flash it but you could also just copy the files over. That being said - would this be worthwhile to post?
I wish i had know i could just copy the files over.. that's actually less convoluted process than depending on a script. I thought the reason you made a patch via flashing is because the system files were locked/open by the system. Anyway, i am extremely thankful for this'll as there is no other way to fix the bug without adding extra steps to wake the screen.
You should definitely share both odexed and deodexed patches with others. I personally don't know how i could tollerate that bug for much longer. I'm sure there are others who don't use the lock screen. Plus, this would give a chance for others to appreciate your work by dontating for your time and effort.

The flashable zip is just one method to get the files where they need to go. Literally all it does is overwrite the 2 files in /system/framework by moving the 2 files over from the zip - but there are definitely other ways to do such things. Some are more comfortable with this route, others are more comfortable w/ getting /system to be rw and move the files manually.
I'll likely post this at some point in the next few days
I don't mean to revive a dead thread or anything, but this bug has been driving me CRAZY & the smali hacking worked perfectly for me, thank you!!!

Glad to hear
Is it possible that my phone isn't affected? If its a 4.1.2 bug, it should be in all phones with same version right?
This is not happening to my phone. Whether I have lock screen activated or not. I'm rooted but running stock ROM and I have Nova launcher installed if thats even important.
It's not all notes.

^^^ THIS - a thousand times over
Some times when I try to open an apk, movie, etc., I get:
COMPLETE ACITON USING
(SELECT APK)
ALWAYS JUST ONCE
When I select the Apk
I select Always
Then I get the display:
CLEAR DEFAULT
OK
I select OK and that apk opens.
My question is even though I selct ALWAYS and CLEAR DEFAULT OK it never stays as the default even when I don't restart/reboot.
Is there some way I can associate an APK with a specific action/ext, etc.?
Apparently there is no solution for this? Thanks for viewing it.

I see where 119 people have viewed this posting.
Has anyone else found this to be the same on their Note 2 as I described?
This is really something that I think is annoying. Why can't the Note 2 OS accept that a specific ext. is always opened by a specific apk?
Would really like some opinions on this.
Thanks!
On my note if I choose always, it gives me information how to clear defaults and next time I open that kind of file it starts choosen app without asking.

You are not alone. I had flashed handful of TW based roms on my Note 2 and this always occurs so I live with it. I am on Tweaked rom now and aside from this irritating flaw, it's perfect. I was a flashoholic and Tweaked rom cured me. I hope there is a fix but if not no big deal.
Edit: I had just cleared defaults for all user apps and tested and it works! OP and Dwitherell, I apologize for posting before testing. I had this issue for so long I always select "once" automatically.

Really...? Interesting. So no matter what the situation is, if you pick an app to act as default for something (like clicking a link have a particular browser used to open it) that default is not saved? If you go into Application Manager and go to the app you believe you set as default that is not behaving as such, is there an option to clear defaults there? Just curious - I have yet to experience such an inability to set defaults. I wonder if there is a common factor that is interfering in some way here. Do either of you have xposed framework installed? I remember there was one out there that let you choose the interface for selecting default apps (the jellybean/stock style or the ICS-based style) - perhaps that is causing an issue...? I'm really just stabbing in the dark here, I have little in the way of clues as to why the default selection is not sticking.
Been working on a solution for days. Thanks to all of you who have posted.
However, even when I rest defaults by going into:
Settings>Application Manager>Reset App preference (which will reset all preferences for: Disabled apps, Disabled app notifications, Default applications for acttions, Background data restrictions for apps.)
>Reset apps.
Then I go into a specific application and check to see if (Launch by Default is set) there are - no defaults set.
Tried this many times and it still has not solved the prolem.
I am running Stock Android version 4.1.2, Baseband version T889UVBMD1, Kernal vdersion 3.0.31-935627, Build number JZO54K T889UVBMD1.
Any other suggestions? Glad to hear I am not the only one who is experiencing this. It is very annoying.

It works on Tweaked rom. I didn't apply any fix cuz like you I couldn't find any fix. For a long period of time I lived with this annoying problem. It didn't occur to me to try clear defaults and test to see if it works until I saw Dwithrell's post. I believed only my phone had this problem. I highly recommend trying Tweaked rom after you back up. If you decide you don't like it, you can always restore back. On my Note 2, I installed Tweaked rom, Alexia's Theme, Perseus Kernel, Viper Audio, and Crossbreeder. If you need links, I post them for you.

Thanks for your help. However, I have flashed many ROMs in the past and never really found much value in doing so. always the possibility of bricking your phone. From what I read lately about flashing Note 2 ROMs there are risks which I don't think I want to take. Your opinion?

My 1st smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate. I was glued to Captivate Android Developement forum and flashed many roms, kernels, modems, and mods and tweaks. There were always risks and anything I had flashed then had problems. Nothing was satisfying. So, I would turn to the xda forums to seek fixes. It was a never ending cycle. Then I got my Note 2. The cycle started again. All the roms, kernels, and mods had issues. TW roms were more stable than AOSP based so I only flashed TW based roms. I wanted to try Tweaked rom when I first saw it but reading the first page was intimidating. I didn't want to come close to bricking my Note 2 like I have with Captivate. It's pain in the butt to fix and very time consuming. Finally after getting courage to flash Tweaked rom, I am glad I did. I still have the itch to flash different roms when update is available, I don't. Except tweaked rom update. It's stable and every feature that I use my Note 2 for works and works great. Tweaks the tweaked rom offers, correct color display by Perseus kernel, beautiful theme by Alexia, awesome sound by Viper when it works( still asking to install driver once in a while but worth it), and network tweaks from CrossBreeder makes an AWESOME and STABLE combinations. Stock is good and stable but once you take a leap and decide to try custom, try my combinations. They are STABLE and BETTER than stock. Lastly, I want to thank all the developers in XDA putting their time and effort into the deveolpement.

Hello everyone!
I made a stupid mistake of uninstalling my GO Keyboard app before disabling the input method. So I install the Google Keyboard app. But when I get to the point where I need to change the input method to Google Keyboard, the phone hard reboots, saying XPERIA then the boot animation. I tried everything but no luck.
Any help appreciated,

Lol XD, what kind of ROM do you run? Stock or CM based?
Stock D: My phone was £110 so I don't want any risks of a brick.
Any help? D:
Well thanks for the 'help' guys Seriously though you post on this forum no one replies for a day or so and then it is moved down to the bottom of the forum. And this reply thing is buggy as hell thanks for wasting my time and if Sony ever finds me, well screw you, you only take the popular. devices and update them, and leave the other devices to rot in bugs. Thank f***ing you, XDA, it took me 25 minutes to re type this because of your terrible website on mobile, and I can't change my profile picture from a terrible minecraft thingy to something proffessional. And before you people jump in and judge me as a 9 year old minecraft player, I am only pissed off.
Don't rage and factory reset.
So I have been in this modding android game for quite some time since I had an LG G3 and then I moved over to the Nexus 6 for about 2 years and some of these custom roms are just awesome but one thing I cannot get rid of properly are the inbuilt AOSP apps..
on the Nexus 6 a few years back somebody made a flashable zip that got rid of all of them and the boot animation but then fixed the boot animation being deleted and unfortunately time to change technology has changed and that doesn't work on this phone obviously.
I have tried using the magisk debloater and it just a little too complicated for me because I don't like having two of the same apps one being Google the other being AOSP and any other gaps package I flash besides the razorlove gapps fail when flashing a custom ROM..
I've tried using opengapps and I thought when flashing that package the AOSP apps get replaced with the Google version of them.
Would anybody mind listing what AOSP apps I can remove completely and I apologize if it's already on the thread but I didn't really see anything or maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place but can you guys help me out? I really like the RR ROM but the AOSP apps just bothered the hell out of me. I've tried using titanium to completely remove some of them like the AOSP Keyboard but it doesn't fully remove them and I don't want to go into the files that I don't know about and screw up my phone..
So right now I'm on stock and the limitations kind of suck so if anybody could you know help me out listing a method that they use to get rid of them that actually works or listing the ones that I can remove and what program I can use to remove them I do not want to disable them I want to remove them... Or because I know how to use Linux and what not you know maybe somebody could show me how to make a flashable zip that will remove them and I will gladly share it to the community but I'm looking for anything that helps.
It would be greatly appreciated!

So I have been in this modding android game for quite some time since I had an LG G3 and then I moved over to the Nexus 6 for about 2 years and some of these custom roms are just awesome but one thing I cannot get rid of properly are the inbuilt AOSP apps..
on the Nexus 6 a few years back somebody made a flashable zip that got rid of all of them and the boot animation but then fixed the boot animation being deleted and unfortunately time to change technology has changed and that doesn't work on this phone obviously.
I have tried using the magisk debloater and it just a little too complicated for me because I don't like having two of the same apps one being Google the other being AOSP and any other gaps package I flash besides the razorlove gapps fail when flashing a custom ROM..
I've tried using opengapps and I thought when flashing that package the AOSP apps get replaced with the Google version of them.

You do realize that AOSP is not a single project like some rom developers, right? If someone publishes an "AOSP" rom, that doesn't mean that they are following some kind of standards or rules.

Well obviously but what I'm saying is pretty much every ROM that I flash seems to have the built-in apps that are AOSP based or maybe I'm not saying it right but basically every ROM that I've tried (dirty unicorns, Resurrection Remix, carbon, dotOS, sudomod,) all have built-in AOSP Keyboard AOSP phone AOSP calendar AOSP email **** like that and that's what I want to remove

But I am doing some research on a flashable zip creator from XDA and hopefully I can make some progress with it

A piece of advice. Get rid of your Pixel as soon as you can. It's a bug testing platform for Google. Samsung, HTC, LG, Oneplus take buggy Google code and refine it. Google doesn't bother.
I only keep this $960 piece of **** (which is now worth less that $300) because I have no other alternative at the moment. As soon as I can dump it for a real a phone, I will.
I'm good thanks I do my research before I buy my phones and I will never buy another Samsung again and dumping my phone is not an option right now if it was I get me the Rog phone from Asus that thing is a beast

I used an S9 for a little while when I was setting it up for a friend. It's a marvelous phone. I have owned multiple HTC flagships in the past, and they were stellar. I have heard that LG and Oneplus were excellent. My last phone before Pixel XL was Note 7, which was absolutely amazing, one of a kind. This pos Pixel XL has been nothing but bug ridden nightmare. The only reason why I keep it around is because of Project FI. It's because it's cheap. Goddamn $960 nightmare on top of that.
Also, please use punctuation next time. Not using it seems like an insult, but maybe that's just me.
I like my pixel XL. No bugs here.

Maybe you can fill us in on all these bugs you speak of. Would hate to continue to be ignorant.

I'd like to know too, cause I must be missing something. I have absolutely no issues with my device...

Click on my profile and find new threads started by me in this subforum.
I believe every single new thread was me complaining about one bug or another.
The biggest one that is always on my mind though, and which is almost a deal breaker, was introduced by Google in the 7.0.2 update. And they still haven't fixed it, but all other manufacturers have - I know for a fact that this bug was fixed in Oreo by Samsung and Oneplus.
It's where you wear a smartwatch which can make and receive phone calls, such as my beautiful Huawei Watch with a gorgeous custom band, and then you get inside your car with a bluetooth hands-free car kit, or just a bluetooth headset, which then improperly connects to the phone as "Connected (no phone)." So you cannot use it. If you don't wear a watch, then everything works fine with a kit or bt headset. This is the reason why I don't wear my beautiful watch anymore. Google needs to fire their bluetooth stack programmer.

My bad. I use speech to text a lot and I don't like using punctuation when speaking. It causes some bad habits.
Update though, upon doing further research making a flashable zip is complicated but I should have it all figured out by the end of the week and I'm not really having any bugs with the AOSP apps I just don't like looking in my app drawer and seeing there's duplicates and I really don't want to manually hide all of them each time I flash a ROM or something and do a backup.
On a side note I just found a Chrome extension that allows speech to text and is very good with no ads. If you're like me and you use your voice more than you use your keyboard, look up voice in voice typing under Chrome extensions pretty damn simple.

Sorry for hijacking your thread -was not my intention.
Making a flashable zip is easy with the tool I link in this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/noob-friendly-tips-tricks-information-t3798529

A friend of mine made a script specifically for what you are trying to do, granted, it's for a different device and older version of Android. Some small modification should be all it needs to suit your purpose, if nothing else, it may contain some useful information.
The thread is located here (Keep in mind, he's from Brazil, so his English is a little rough =)

You are completely fine. I'm shocked how nice people are on here LOL usually people are just mean and think they have the right answer and I have to accept it no matter what and I just don't like people who are so full of themselves so thank you.
I've been trying to research this but I was supposed to have surgery today and I was getting ready for that and unfortunately it was cancelled without my knowledge so that was pretty stressful and now I have to start the whole process over again because the doctors I was going to go to no longer accept my insurance and nobody told me so I'm still going to work on this it's just going to be a little bit of a process.

As a side note, I am now in the same boat as you. I have a Oneplus 6 now, silk white, which is gorgeous. But it has double apps like yours - 2 calendars, 2 calculators, 2 message apps, 2 clock apps etc. I don't even really know which ones are Google and which ones are Oneplus - I think the round icons are Google, but rectangular icons are Oneplus. Plus I don't know which apps are better. I think that I will use some of them for a while and disable the least appealing ones.
There are only a handful, and maybe that's what you can do? Just disable? If you cannot disable from the main Android interface, you can do it from adb. There are commands that can disable and enable app packages from adb.
Hey guys I'm sorry it's been awhile since I've kept up with you guys. So a little side note
I have started this project it is my very first project on my GitHub.
But my problem is I have no idea how to even start this I mean I tried using the flashable zip creator and it pulled the system apps but I'm at a loss here any help would be greatly appreciated..
You can view the project at this link by the way
