Problem with S Health and DPI Question - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Got my Galaxy S5 G900W8 (Rogers - Canada) Rooted and got TWRP working well..
Loaded Xposed with some modules, all seems stable and good..
Only 2 issues so far;
1. S Health will not work, I tried clearing data/cache, uninstalling updates, wont work. And I keep getting pop ups saying Health Monitor stopped working, or something along those lines. Any idea why, and what I can try to fix it ?
2. I am using the Xposed Module "App Settings" to lower the DPI value of some apps - most are working great. Is there any way to change the drag down notification area ? I cannot find a setting for it. I did find "systemUI" but nothing changed. I also tried changing the value in build.prop but it did not stick. Not sure it would scale properly anyways but wanted to try nonetheless as it fills up quick.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

I fixed for me installing through webbrowser: hxxps://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
But why i can not use market-application to install. Thats bad...
I'm having the exact same problem - no idea why.
Try this,
Go to manage applications, click on market and clear data, Now install the apps again.
Might work.
I tried to extract the Google Earth apk from the stock ROM and installed it. It installed, however it keeps force closing when i launch it. So i guess it's incompatible with CyanogenMod 7.1
Installs and works just fine on cm 7.1.0.1, but I also have matrix 8.5 kernel on top of cm

When I was on CM7.1, I didn't have any difficulties to install from local Market or Web Market.
Furthermore Google Earth has a lot of downloads, then it would say if there was a kind of bug we would be informed one or two days later and not one week.
Did you already try to clear/ wype Cache?

THX for this solution!
I found the solution to my issue regarding this as well. Apparently, if you change the device density, it will say device not compatible. I like running mine at 200 instead of default 240. So when I changed it back to 240, I was able to install/update all the apps.
Heeeeelllpp!!!
I convinced my girl to root her phone so i could "make it pretty" for her and well, part of my theming included changing the density down to 200. I used blade buddy to do it at first and it worked fine, except for the "device is not compatible" play store message. So i changed the density back to 240 again with blade buddy and it still gives me the incompatible message, even after wiping data from play store and rebooting with the default density! So i tried market enabler and that worked ONE time, now no matter what i do its not updating most of her apps and market enabler does nothing to help. Any suggestions, other than the obvious nandroid?

Advantages of Rooting This phone.

Hey lads,
Going to have this phone soon and haven't yet found a reason to go rooting/custom rom rout, As it seems, it's quite well cooked as it is. So i'm wondering what are the Reasons you guys rooted your phones?
Can't you get that hide nav bar without root? and xposed framework work without root? We got some neat statusbar icon sets out and need rooting?
some other reason you had to root and 'void warrancy'?
The two reasons I did it on Verizon are for Greenify, and to enable free wifi tethering.
Here are my reasons:
Custom DPI to use with Action Launcher.

There are several useful apps that require superuser privileges. As far as I know one must root the phone to install and enable superuser.
Adaway and xposed framework with app settings and xprivacy.
Smaller navigation keys for WAY more screen real estate. Camera improvements. Debloated. These are a few so far. Here's a pic of the nav buttons.

Proper backup solutions. Hopefully things like this won't require root in the future.

Bloatware and Carrier IQ removal, Wi-Fi tethering on unlimited data plan, Xposed framework and various modules for it, essential root apps like AdAway, Root Explorer and Titanium Backup, Custom recovery with Nandroid backup functionality, ViPER4Android Audio Affects,... and list goes on and on. But most important benefit of all is that root access gives you freedom to do whatever you want with your device.
ROMs
I like rooting so I can install twrp and run aosp software. Cm alpha now.
Firewall
The phone came finally.
Had it for 30min's and couldnt resist rooting. Still on Stock rom but modified some.
My steps if anyone is wondering why and how,
1. Install root thread.
2. install TWRP thread easy method
And your all set. Take a TWRP backup from your phone, and you're safe to start tweaking.
Things i did,
1. Installed my favorite apps, titanium backup, romtoolbox and bbs etc... changed dpi and did backups.
1. Xposed+App Settings to get camera and msg apps back to 480 ( Using 360 dpi systemwide )
2. Xposed xprivacy (really liking this) for handling apps and what they can do. Found inside xposed on modules list.
3. Bought GMS autohide soft keys root from google play, seems like a godsend. Found on google play store.
4. Allso bought g2 xposed mod from play store for nice black statusbar. found on google play store.
Next in project list is to clear bloatware and find some nice status bar icons or autohide statusbar that works with stock rom.

Of you find a proper auto hide statusbar solution let me know. The best i came up with is forcing full screen in most apps with xposed app settings and putting a nova shortcut of "expand statusbar" into swipepad. Works but is too laggy now and then.
If you haven't got a firewall but want one take a look at afwall+ by the way. Easy setup and high practicability due to different profiles. If you got apps you don't want to completely deny Internet with xprivacy you can deny it at certain times with afwall+

[Q] Gallery has stopped working

Yeap, It happened after I disabled a bunch of apps, kids mode, samsung account, print services, etc.
I made sure they were able to disable first, but it looks like even if I defrost them gallery does not want to launch.
I tried to clear data but it didnt work either, This also happened on my note 2. Looks like the only way is restoring to a state be4 I disabled apps.
any idea?
ALso. CWM 6 takes forever to backup/Restore... 1 hour or so.
What are you guys using>?
I found Out wat the problem was xD stupid me.
xposed module: Swipeback has problems with gallery....how did I forget about that xD

Xposed for Note 4

Anyone successfully running Xposed on Note 4? I read in another forum that some people on Note 3 ran it and loved it. I installed Xposed framework on my rooted Sprint Note 4, then rebooted, added some modules like Wanam, rebooted again, went into them and applied some tweaks and rebooted again. No tweak worked at all even though several are checked off. Additionally after installing xposed framework I get play services crash messages and the com.android.location or whatever crash messages.
I decided to uninstall xposed framework and mods for now. Anyone have any luck with it?
I have it installed and found that it only broke S Health app until I did the build prop "secure=false" tweet and after that I have not had any problems. I only have one module Unicon to change system icons so not sure if having several modules would break more stuff. As we are only in the early stages of development for the Note I feel no need to push the handset for no reason.
Works fine on my SM-N910F... With Xposed installer installed I have already enabled
call recording and and also installed Wanam Xposed which works fine as well.
I'm running it with xgels, fonter and APM+, no issues other than s health

I'll have to give it another shot and only install one module at a time

I'm also getting lag where the phone will lockup for about 4 seconds ever couple minutes. It's rather annoying.

Is this not the "S-health" issue? Its solvable by freezing shealth or a specific xposed module(a Wanam option I think) I'm sure there's another thread about it somewhere in here.

Like once xpose is enable, the phone can lock up for 5-7 seconds when browsing around. My touches get recognize late. But if i remove xpose all is back to normal it really suck...not sure how to fix it

It is actually an S-Health issue. Running exposed without modifying the secure storage will cause S-Health's Services hang while checking sensors. That's the reason of the hangs and lags. It has been discussed previously in S5 thread as well as here in General Section.
People solved the issue by either modifying build.prop or using a module called XSecureStorage or something like that.
Reported working method was;
Uninstall Xposed and Reboot
Wipe data of S-Health and Services
Freeze S-Health and Health Services
Install xposed and reboot
Install XSecureStorage and Reboot
Unfreeze S-Health and Services

Major lag with only the framework installed on the Sprint version...

It will lag unless you make the modifications mentioned. The framework itself has compatibility issues with s-health service and secure storage. Once you complete the procedure above lag will vanish.

I has issues with Xposed.. Example Play Stores downloads lagged at somewhere before started installing it. It freezed sometime over 2 minutes and was lagging like hell. Then i did this fix and it's working without problem! Tested with two different Note 4 with same root, xposed+modules and busybox.
Have some lug issues also, not much , but sometimes it happens even after applying fix for SHealth

If I enable xposed, I can't use stock messaging. It forces me to use hangouts for messaging. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
I installed the XSecureStorage Xposed module and S-Health and Private Mode are working fine now. No lags. More info here.

[Q] S Health "James Lee" Problem

Alright guys,
Essentially I'm having a little problem with my S Health App, I am on the rooted N9100f phone with the Echoe rom installed.
every so often my S Health app seems to reset my profile to a Jame Lee born 01 Jan 1970, 4' 11" and 110lbs. I feel sorry for the human if he does exist but I'm not sure why this is happening. Does anyone have any experience with fixing this or just it happening to them.
Also I don't seem to be about to restore to a backed up S Heath profile which is kind of weird.
Anyways Cheers in a advance
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you have multiple personality disorder, and are changing it yourself.
Sorry, no clue.
That's because you are James Lee.... you've always been James Lee <que dramatic music>

Some of you use xmodgames? I think this is the problem. I get the same problem, when i uninstall the app, I dont get any errors on S Health.

It's not xmodgames, as I don't have that installed on this phone and never did.
I have the exact same issue. I highly suspect it is one of the root apps messing with some background Samsung service which S Health requires to work properly. Will be watching this thread and trying to figure out what exactly causes this. I hope we get to the bottom of this soon.

I don't have my s5 active rooted or x mod games and see this James Lee issue now too on S Health. Could it be default values set by samsung dev when app is reset?
This happens when xposed framework is being installed cause it has issues with S-health secure server. It is a need of disabling s-health server security to make the phone work with xposed without issues. Everytime xposed get reinstalled the S-health app resets. You then got to install the backup from your S-health sync service and all is well. Rmember to sync just before updating or installing xposed (or Roms with xposed) to not loose data.
Wanam xposed kit has this option to deactivate secure server to make xposed framework function well with phones having S-health. Most custom rom implements xposed framework and then probably also need to disable secure server.
Edit. To be able to sync/backup S-health, aecure server must be disabled first by installing Wanam kit or other xposed apps with this option. Many custom roms also implements Wanam features.
