Chrome Crash

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.

Nexus 5x encryption

Hi.
Have noticed that this phone is extremely slow while installing or updating apps from the play store. It is lagging like hell just switching home screens, anyone else have noticed this? Can this have with the encrypted system?
And if i install a custom rom to disable encryption, will it be a noticeable performance change of the phone?
Thanks

Are you talking about downloading one or two apps?Or more of a got the phone and restored all your apps from the playstore? Usually downloading an app or two has had no real lag for my phone. As far as decryption and custom roms go alot of the time the custom roms with the right gapps pack (i use banks) will give you a little bit more ram to use and have other system optimiziations that will make it run a little bit smoother than stock. But that will depend on the rom and kernel (over//underclock)combo you use.

Noticed it espessially when updating Messenger and Facebook today, and also Es file explorer. So only 3 apps. I am familliar that restoring the phone makes it slow, but this was only 3 apps as written :\
Ok, if it is only a little it may not be worth it then? Never had a nexus before, but with samsung a custom kernel/rom helped a lot.

Welcome to the nexus world. Custom rom kernel may help with the lag im a big fan of flar2's elemental kernel. the new twrp now supports decryption as well.

How to go GApps-less with this ROM?

Long story short, Google's blocked in China and my dad will be commuting back and forth to and fro from there, so he just wants to be able to use OOS but without GApps, like in China. Searched but couldn't really see any OOS-based ROMs that supported going GApps-less. Help?

I think I am missing the problem? If Google is blocked in China that just means he needs to sideboard his apps while he is there or wait till he is home to install. Why would you not install them? It's not like the phone won't work if Google services get blocked. Just use different search engines and/or browser and you should be fine.

Don't want to pay for one and it's annoying , plus he doesn't use Google Services a lot so what's the point of keeping the bloat

He's travelling back and forth a lot. And sideload apps do work, but **** like backup and the stuff that happen in the background won't work. Plus he just doesn't want the bloat or battery drain of GApps

If you're rooted you can uninstall them and if not just disable them from apps settings.

Doesn't help with the background stuff. I've tried disabling it on his Note 3, and it resulted in a loop of "com.process.google.gapps has crashed" and I want to avoid that. And I might as well just go without if I'm going to disable it.

How about flashing the Chinese ROM (Hydrogen OS)? Surely that one won't contain any of the Google services/apps. I'm based in China and have gone google-less for quite some time (even in Europe actually, those services are a huge drain and alternatives are available). There's 2 ways to get apps on the phone without using Google's Play store, 1) install Xiaomi/Huawei/... app store or 2) use Raccoon (search on XDA) to download apps from GPS on your PC and then side-load them on the phone. An even better solution is to install Raccoon on a server, have a script download the latest versions once a week, have a script erase the older versions and share the apk's through Nextcloud/OwnCloud/... with your phone (grats you've got your own app store )

Issues with RR 3/19/17

Using this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-t3399960
I followed the instructions exactly, and yes I know how to flash a ROM. I used to have a Nexus 6.
On the latest build there are a few issues:
1. Cannot login to Snapchat (says unavailable, after checking device status)
2. The OTA update menu crashes
3. Cannot remove startup pin, even after removing screen lock. I tried security settings, but the replace encryption password menu also crashes
Other than these it's pretty solid, and good battery.
(only posting here because it wouldn't let me reply to his thread)

1. Snapchat wont let login if your rooted at all
2. I never used ota so dont know
3. Thats weird

Actually I was able to fix all of these by using the official builds: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pment/rom-kernel-resurrectionremix-n-t3524715
EDIT: All except Snapchat, which I fixed by unrooting, logging in, and re-rooting. It only seems to check for root when you log in, so once you're in its good. However if you log out you have to go back through these steps.

I know a ton of people use titanium backup, but I honestly just can't even get past the design of the app. I hated holo when it came out, and hate it even more now that material is here. But it honestly is no real issue to me to log back in that way, 5 minutes tops.

I'm not quite sure how this is the "old way", its more of the manual way. But, to each their own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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?

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?

Nope, and I could care less about the new ui tbh, it's just an app.

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.

Grab Syslog from Play Google and drop the captured logs here so that it can be fixed. No logs no help

Did you even read my post?
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.
(I am an xposed dev myself so I know what I'm doing)
