Can't Access Task Manager with Home Button Anymore

I can no longer hold home to get to the task manager. Holding down home does nothing now and I can't figure out why or what I could have done to cause this. Restarting doesn't fix it. Anyone know how I can restore this function without reflashing? The last thing I did was install Xposed Framework with modules 'App Settings 0.4' and 'xMulti Window Mod 1.3' so I'm thinking that's what caused it but I'm not sure why.
ROM: Tweaked 2.4.1
Kernel: Stock

Your best bet is to try and disable the new modules in xposed. Or disable xposed all together Then reboot..... also there's nO need to post in multiple threads. Patience

Disabled the two modules and rebooted. That fixed it. Re-enabled them, rebooted, problem came back. Double checked and the modules are configured as instructed. Everything on my phone seems fine and working great except this one little issue and it's an annoying one. I don't want to give up this MOD so there must be a way to isolate this but I must admit I'm lost.

Screen off animation for HTC M9 and xposed installation

After searching high and low, i've finally found the screen off animation i wanted, this particular mod is not mine i'm just providing a find for anyone who is in the same situation.
Thanks to @zst123 for originally posting this
Requirements:
Root access
Custom recovery
Rom running android 5.0XXX
Also note functional on 5.1.XXX ROMs.
*New section for Marshmallow ROMs.
1. Go here and download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3292041&d=1430517906
or this one if you're on android 5.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3313055&d=1431639027
or this one if you're on android 6.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3631566&d=1454436795
2. Download the Alpha build xposed framework from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3200857&d=1425849071
or this one if you're on android 6.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
3. Reboot to recovery and install the .21 or build or the .22 build if you're on 5.1XXX or the v80 sdk23 build if you're on 6.0.XXXX then reboot *NOTE* boot can take some time, 10 minutes at times
4. Once booted, install the alpha build apk downloaded in step 2 using a file manager.
5. Open Xposed and navigate to download, search for screen off animation and download the module.
6. Navigate to modules and enable them, reboot your device.
7. Open the app and choose a screen off animation.
8. Perform a reboot, Done.
FYI, it has been known that xposed can cause bootloops on the M9 so tread carefully and back up prior to installing it.
I can confirm that this and xposed with this installation method works as expected on Leedroid, other ROM's should work but I haven't tested them.
Can also confirm that for the most part, sense 6 toolbox and XUI Mod work too, and again this is not my software.
PS: Just like to add that the screen off Vertu animation is my personal favourite, it's a classy finish to a phone that deserves it.
------------------THEMING------------------
@ineedone This is his theme.
You need to flash the theme after xposed, clearing cache and dalvic after the initial installation of Chameleon. If you don't then you can (not always) end up in a boot loop, if you didn't wipe the caches then power down and boot back to recovery.
The initial boot after wiping the caches can take a long time, 10 minutes + is not uncommon.
This can also be assumed for any other mods which affect a lot of the ROMs system files.
Confirmed with Newest Leedroid and chameleon.

Xposed and xuimod work on 5.1 too. Sense 6 toolbox let's you change number of app drawer icons but won't let you in the app itself. Gonna test gravity box now.
Tested , it loads and stuff but none of the features really work.

Aye I've used gravity before but have avoided it as I get everything I need from xui and screen off animation. I don't even use sense toolbox no more. I've read that Xposed works with 5.1 and there is a framework for it but as I haven't tested it on a HTC device I've not added it to the OP that its fully functional.
Gravity needs a big update, there have been quite a few broken bits for a while, also found gravity was always very heavy on the system too, might have just been me.

Stock as in not rooted or stock as in rooted on a stock rom, if it's the latter then it should work. That's probably the best way to use these mods. Unfortunately screen off animation as far as I know does not function as of yet. I'm away for a week now, but will be doing some testing of all the mods on my return.

Stock, rooted. Ive never had this much trouble just to get xposed.
Basically i:
1. Unlocked bl
2. Twrp
3. Backup of system image
4. Root
5. Xposed zip for arm64
6. Installed xposed apk
7. When trying to launch amplify it says xposed isn't running, even if xposed says it's active
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

That is literally what you are meant to do, some modules are functional, some aren't. For me the screen off animation didn't work and so strange as it might sound, I would miss it and as such I have retained 5.0.2, I really do not see any difference between the two, all modules work, nothing appears broken to me and the battery life is as good as I need it to be. To answer your question in short I get the same message with screen off animation, as if it's not installed. It's because it's not been updated. Either wait for it to be updated or downgrade like me

Updated op. Screen off animation working properly on 5.1, been using it for a while now.

Usually says that when either xposed isn't installed properly or the module hasn't been updated and you'll have to wait.
Follow the tutorial to install xposed, you can't miss.

Actually in that part of the tutorial, you only need a soft reboot. Regular if you need it but not necessary.

How to remove status bar clock WITHOUT xposed?

I tried xposed and fell the phone choppier so dont want to deal with it. Im rooted and twrp. Any zip or buildpro to disable it. I search and couldnt find anything other than people recomending gravitybox or similar modules to remove it. I actually did partially remove it with Nova launcher,. Which has a setting if u are rooted it does remove the clock but only in home screen. Thanx

Get a ROM that has this functionality built in ...
Don't know what went wrong in your case, but simply flashing Xposed without modules doesn't change anything and Xposed alone can't cause issues.

Grab systemUI.apk , decompile it and make changes to statusbar.xml and similar, recompile it and push back.
This is the way around xposed.

Alrighty thanx. I gave xposed another tried after clean install and is good now. The first time everything got choppy was with installing android nify. Everything was choppy even after uninstalling it. I didnt this time and all goood

Double tap on lockscreen to lock (switch off screen)

Hi Folks -
Does anyone know a way to double tap the "lockscreen" to have the phone lock (or switch off screen display).
This is a very popular/common option in Custom ROMs. But I haven't been able to locate this independently.
I've tried Nova launcher for double tap to screen off, but that doesn't work on lockscreen. None of the apps on the playstore seem to work on the lockscreen.
This is a useful feature where in one can check the notifications on the lockscreen and switch off the screen without unlocking the phone.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"The Flash" has an awesome guide on how to get your phone set up. It's right here on XDA under our device. After you get magisk installed, look for the systemless Xposed module under downloads in the magisk app. Click on it and there will be a link for the Xposed apk that goes with the systemless version. Just make sure you have a backup, or factory image, or a way to recover your phone in case of a booboo. Hope this could help; there is some really nice tools & guides here on XDA under our phone's forum.

Thanks for responding.
I was thinking of setting up a dual partition with one slot rooted and the other non-rooted. So when I need to access android pay (or any other safety net app), I can just reboot and switch to the non-rooted slot. So after flashing factory img on both slots, flash magdisk+kernel of one slot and let the other not have magdisk.
Anyway, I think I would use the double tap lockscreen feature way more than I use Android pay. It also saves a lot of battery life. I'll search here for guide to install Xposed Modules? Is there anything specific for the Pixel 2 XL?

there is a magisk version of xposed that you can switch off with a reboot. just an FYI since using it is probably easier than trying to dual boot

Thank you. I already have Kernel, Magdisk etc installed. I was looking for instructions for the Xposed Module specifically and did not find a guide for that.
So basically after installing the Xposed Module from within magdisk, just installed Status bar to sleep? Is it as simple as that?
And for next month, while dirty flashing to the new factory images, can this module be uninstalled so that one is close to stock before flashing away? Thanks in advance.

the magisk module is in the mgisk manager repo. flash it, then install this xposed apk https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4337506&d=1511193653

Or use the Nova Launcher which has an option for double tap to sleep.

I was able to uncheck the module in Xposed installer and did reboot. But this does not help with Safety net. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I Installed XposedInstaller_3.1.4_Magisk.apk. From Magisk Manager modules installed Xposed Framework SDK 27.
Could not install StatusBarSleep from XposedInstalled since it force closed when I tried to install. So installed the module through the Xposed repository on the internet.
However if I uncheck the module in Xposed installer and uncheck Xposed framework in Magisk - and reboot. After doing this, still don't pass Safety net check.
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

I use the Nova Launcher and double tap to sleep. But I really wanted double tap on lockscreen. This does NOT work in Nova Launcher. The double tap action only works in the launcher..

Questions about running stock rooted ROM / XPosed (Gravity Box) / Substratum

Hi guys,
After months of hesitation, I finally ordered a Pixel 2 XL. Now after a few years of running custom ROMs, I'm thinking of running the stock Google ROM with tweaks. But I haven't done that in a while so I have some questions, after rooting and installing TWRP:
- is it safe to install the latest Xposed framework beta? (bootloop/crashes)
- does Gravity Box work fine (no crash/bootloop)?
- can I apply Substratum themes on rooted stock?
- which kernel would you choose between Flash and ElementalX? I've been using the latter for a long time but curious about Flash.
- how do you handle monthly OTAs? Can they be installed running all of the above?
Thank you! :good:

Like you, I have always run custom ROMs and this is my first time running stock with tweaks like you mentioned.
1- yes, as far as Xposed goes for me and my device, I've had 0 issues. If there is any lag, just choose the "optimize apps now" option in the Xposed installer.
2 - gravity box works flawlessly for me and gives so many features. I had to support the dev and bought the unlocker!
3 - you can use substratum, but since the March update, you have to reboot after building overlays to see them in the overlay manager.
4 - I've tried almost all kernels available for our device, and I don't know why, maybe it's a placebo, maybe not, but Flash has been the best for me. Virtually no slowdowns in terms of performance, and solid battery life as well.
5 - most people flash the factory images, editing the flash-all file, removing the "-w" to prevent data from being wiped. Me on the other hand, I do the most overkill option which is fastbooting the factory images to both slots, leaving the "-w" intact, and basically starting fresh every month it ends up being a few hour process but I don't mind because I have a bit of OCD and like having a clean slate to start from when new updates release.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Thanks for the comprehensive reply, it's appreciated and it does help!
I'm not sure about your last answer about OTAs though. So we have to flash the whole factory image every month? Isn't it possible to sideload the OTA? And what about Magisk and Xposed, do they have to be flashed again every time? I guess Substratum themes have to be compiled again as well? I guess I've been so used to custom ROM and dirty flashing that I got somewhat lazy
Does the unlocker for Gravity Box add more options? Or is it just a way to donate money to the dev?
Thanks again.

Unlocker is to support dev as well as it unlocks the ultimate notification controls which has a trial period
Ota are fine but we all prefer to flash the whole image because it is recommended and hardly comes up with errors
If you install magisk module for xposed then you would only need to re install magisk zip and your previous modules would be still installed
For substratum you need to disable overlays before updating and just re enable them after updating to latest update
Cheers ?

Are we not supposed to flash the .zip? It's what broke everything. I managed to flash the factory image and got my phone back to normal.

Glad you got it working.
I downloaded the Xposed APK in the Magisk thread and installed Xposed within the app; after reboot everything seems to work normally for me.
The way you did it is also fine though:good:
