Why is my rooted phone lagging? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A couple of weeks ago i rooted my phone and it was all good, i installed Adaway, Camera sound off, uninstall and titanium backup. But then my phone started lagging, every few minutes my phone just laggs.
It doesnt matter what app i'm in or how many apps i've opened, the screen just laggs and the touchscreen doesnt respond for a few seconds and then it stops and returns in a few minutes.
Any ideas what may cause this?
*edit*
I also installed xposed and the extended snappchat module
(i have the sm-n910f)

Did you install xPosed? Some people have reported lagging when using xPosed on their Note 4's.

Yess, i installed it and used the extended snappchat module. Then i deleted them both, could it still be somewhere in my system?

I too installed it and now every few mins screen just lag even after deleting it.....

after i installed xposed i had same lag and freezes i uninstalled xposed but still had lag so i unrooted su but the phone wouldnt reboot after that it looped on samsung logo so i had to reflash stock firmware to get it up and running so be careful...

There are thread here where the solution to this problem is solved. It has once happened to me and I already fix it but I didn't remember which of the thread. You need to just search the forum, am sure your phone will be fine

HI ,
i also have N910F ,rooted , xposed etc . i found that the lag was caused by xposed .
I followed this post #22 and post #32 re , " angelky " advice and the lag was sorted out ..my Shealth is working fine and private mode( which gets broken with root, is working) ( wanam /settings Security hacks then tick Disable Secure Storage.)

Wanam or xposed Bootloop issue GRRRRRR

This is the 3rd time i format my phone and until i install wanam i have no issues, but when i do i always get bootloops. Whats happens is i install wanam and reboot to apply settings and then it boot normally, i see the lockscreen and the it turns off and boots directly to samsung letters and hangs there, could hang there for 5, 10, 20 minutes, then it boots back into the lockscreen and then hangs on samsung letters again. Tried clearing cache, nothing. I'm giving up on this wanam...anybody knows how to troubleshoot the issue?

yes, fakesystemstatus was the first thing i activated...i will try to reinstall everything and not touch that
Alright so i started theming, basically just changing a few colors here and there and the same issue happened once again! It hangs on Samsung letters
So the issue is with wanam, i've been running xposed and a few of its modules for the past couple days with no issues, but as soon as wanam goes on, things get problematic
I had both wanam and gravity box running for almost a week with no problem. Last night I thought there were quite a few overlapping settings and maybe I should just stop using one of those two modules. So I unticked wanam in the installer and rebooted.... WAH!! all hell broke loose and the phone just kept rebooting. It must be at least 10 times before it just stopped by itself and stayed on. I quickly went into xposed installer and uninstalled wanam. After that it didn't reboot itself any more. I'm just worried that something might be messed up and I'll need to wipe it clean. Let's hope that it won't be necessary.
So if you're trying to get rid of wanam after reading this thread, just be warned that what happened to me might happen to you too. Then if nothing works, you can always wipe and start again in recovery, stock or cwm.
I just need to mention gravity box here because it does most of what wanam can do and some more. There is even a mod to toggle flash led on the lock screen with the home key, instead of using the volume up key. Also most of the settings are activated without rebooting. Give it a try and you won't regret it.

GB is meant for AOSP-based roms - stock Android, or close to it - TouchWiz is definitely not that. Wanam is essentially the TW-equivalent of GB.
Well that's why I installed wanam first, then I read here someone was using it on his note3 and it works alright. So I tried it too and it's been problem free so far.

I have xblast toolls installed. Same problem here with bootloop after install.
I have 5 Modules installed and it seems there's a bootloop for every mod installed. I think it reboots after the mod is run and then moves on to the next mod. It eventually boots into lock screen and stays there but it can take a while...
I have 2 modules installled, wanam and greenify. Every time i change a setting in wanam and reboot, it get bootloop. Left it there for 2 hours yesterday and it never booted back in OS. Although i have found that clearing dalvik and cache maked it loop only once and then it boots back in OS

Strange. No issues here. I installed xposed, updated and then rebooted. Then played a lot with wanam, rebooted for like 10 times. No issues.

[Q] Xposed Module limit? Force close city

I have been having issues with "Context Service has stopped" force closes since rerooting my S5 on NCG and flashing to NE9 the other day. I have kept thinking I have found fix after fix, and finally last night I rebooted my phone a good 30 times in the process of figuring out what Xposed module was causing my problem, and I finally definitively found it: too many modules. If I download more than 7 Xposed modules, my phone automatically begins to get the Context Service FC as soon as the phone boots and after every call I make or receive. I am now using Greenify, the app that I thought was the root of the problem, without issue. I had Xposed Torch installed last night and it was working fine after several reboots. Then I tried to install another module, Xtoast, I had already tested to not be my issue. Sure enough, the addition of that eighth module, XToast, caused the Force close issue on reboot and it stayed on subsequent reboots. Uninstalled Xposed Torch and the issue is gone. Why would there be a 7 module limit to what I can install on Xposed without it giving me that error and is there anything I can do to fix it so I can load up the rest of the modules I typically run?
Interesting. I have nine modules going on my S4 w/ no problems.

OOPS ... I thought I was in the S5 forum ...
I think his point was that he is able to run 9 modules without trouble..... and just for the record, I'm running 10 on my s5 (verizon) without issue.... Try uninstalling exposed and then reinstall using wanam in the Playstore (most of your modules will still be on your phone when you reinstall exposed)... Goodluck

Note 4 reboots randomly only when rooted and it happens mostly when it's idle

I have the Note 4 (SM-N910H), I've had mine rooted for 2 weeks and it kept randomly rebooting twice or so every 1-2 days, now I've removed the root and everything seems to be working fine with no reboots for 1 week. Most (I even think all of them) of the random reboots happened while the phone was idle (screen off).
I've rooted using the CF-Auto-Root via odin.
Anyone knows why the root was causing random reboots for me? I've tried with knox disabled and enabled and with both options I get the same reboots while the phone is idle, also I would like to mention that I don't have an SD card in my phone. I tried everything, Tried a recovery reset, tried a soft reset... It only happens when I root it.
Thanks.
Sometimes xposed module can be a culprit.

Xposed sucks on a stock odex roms. I suggest you flash a new rom or deodex your stock rom.
the note4 i have atm was never rooted (efuse intact), but it also reboots randomly every few days, sometimes every few hours!
so i would say root is NOT the general cause!!
maybe, or perhaps root makes it worse, but it cant be the only reason!!

In my case it's the issue, I've had mine un-rooted for 3 weeks now with no any random reboot, I rooted it yesterday using CF auto root just to test and it rebooted today while it was idle. I've never used any Xposed modules. It's also on stock rom and stock recovery.

I think it's worth a try to unroot and see if the problem is solved for you.
Thank you.
Do you know how to unroot?
The biggest problem is how to pass my apps and data without Titanium that needs root access..

Just flash the latest stock ROM from sam mobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) for your exact model number and CSC using odin, no data or apps will be lost and root will be automatically removed after the process.
You can install "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" from play store to know what your exact model number and CSC, you can also type all the fields you get after you open it (except for your IMEI) and write them down here to me so I can give you a link of the stock ROM from sam mobile so you just download and flash via odin.
After rooting open SuperSu and choose never for the question to also disable Knox. Until now I didn't have any unexpected reboot.

I mentioned in my original post that I tried with both, knox disabled and enabled but with both options I had the same random reboots, no matter what I do, the same problem for me as long as I am rooted. Did you have random reboots before while you are rooted and now you fixed it somehow?

[Q] HELP: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F) rooted + very very slow (AND MORE)

Hey, this is basically a question/help thread which I am currently experiencing with my Note 4 which I recently rooted.
I have been experiencing serious lag issues that have just made the use of my phone unbearable at this current time. The apps that I have installed which now have deleted to see if maybe this was experiencing the problems are: Freedom, Xposed Installer, Root File Manager, Root Checker, Adfree, Build.prop editor (Found a topic that said to edit the ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false ) Did that but didnt fix any problem. I will state below what kind of issues I am experiencing with the lag and other issues too.
When installing a new app from the play store or even from a downloaded APK it will take for ever to install from the APK and from the play store it will get stuck around 80% for about 30minutes before it starts installing then the install takes another 30minutes or so, same with installing straight from the APK. The lag issues consist of scrolling issues through the home screen (Happens every so often). A lot of keyboard issues when trying to type text to people its just a nightmare to use this.
I want to know what I can do to actually fix this issue, whether other people have had this issue, and whether people have any solutions. I am new to the android community and even newer to rooting, so I may be a bit of a "noob" but I learn very quickly. I dont feel like unrooting and reflashing to stock. (This is a last resort) But if push comes to shove I will do this.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully you guys can help me

Try this first, uninstall xposed framework, then install any apk (either standalone or from the play store) and report back to see if you have that problem.
If you don't have much set up, I recommend going back to stock via ODIN, see if installing app works properly.
If it doesn't, you might have a defective phone. If it does, then it must be a software issue which we can resolve.

Yeah, well I have already uninstalled xposed framework, as i said that I uninstalled everything that required root access (even when installing something that requests root access SuperSU takes about 10minutes to pick it up (This only happened after installing something but I didnt really take any notice at first) I will probably have to go back to stock, but being in canada right now and not at my actual home the internet is so slow to download the firmware -_-. Literally installing apps takes forever, uninstalling takes no time at all.
For me the culprit was exposed. Ended up having to restore my nand, and stay away from exposed.

You need to install the xposed module XSecureStorage.
Why we need install the XSecureStorage is something with privacy or S-Health problem I have the same problem, but I have installed Xposed since the first day and not have this problem until few days ago.
I like Xposed and use maybe the Instagram Downloader and Youtube Ad apps only so I want keep it.

After installed the Xposed Module XSecure Storage my apps install fast and without troubles, thanks Lessaj
XSecureStorage seems to solve the issue
Hi
Just a quick note to say that I was having the same issues after rooting and installing Xposed and that by installing XSecureStorage the problem appears to be solved.
So thanks Wanam for XSecureStorage and thanks to Lessaj :good: for pointing this out.

[Q] Apps stuck on installing, help please

After rooting the Note 4 for the first time with the stock rom, all apps I try to install get stuck on the "Installing..." screen, even in the Play Store they do the same for upgrading apps. That happened shortly after I installed the Xposed Installer ( being that the last app I could install on my Note ).
As I am writting this, one of the apps jsut installed but it lasted 2 hours, I know it isnt any connection issues because Im triying to install apks already downloaded. Please some help, I'm new to Samsung phones coming from a Nexus 5 and I find this a little bit messy.
Thanks for your time.
Personally for me xposed caused more problems than it solved. That would be my first port of call.
It may be worth checking your security settings, they may also be blocking your installs.

This happened to me too in other samsung device. Try this:
- Go to SuperSU - Apps - Forget Wanam Xposed.
- Go to Wanam Xposed app and give new root perms and update it if you need it.
- Reboot your device and try to install new apps. I think you won't have more problems. Good luck :highfive:

hi ,
i agree with JagDave that it seems that it could only be Xposed Framework .I stated in other threads ,that Xposed does not "play nicely " with Note 4. It will either break "something/app " when installing/installed or uninstalling ..?.
I had Xposed break apps eg... S health ..Private mode ,lag or as what you described above ..not installing apps /stuck on installing.
I had to use " work arounds /fixes /patches" ....Wanam ( Secure storage ) and then my device( N910f Note 4,)was working 100%. ,but to me it is not worth it and I uninstalled it( then it broke my Google Play app on uninstalling ! ) ,
Further i noted the dev ( rovio89 of Xposed stated in "earlier " post )that he was not going to" update" Xposed re the Dalvik /Art ( Lollipop ) issue .?
If you look at at his last stable update for Xposed framework it has been "months " back . (No wonder it "breaks " apps ...it was last updated ,before Note 4 was released( and thus not " optimized" for Note4 ? )
I have Xposed installed on all my other " old " devices and working 100% and i am happy with Xposed Framework , but Note 4 ..? (no ) and i can understand the dev rovo89 " issue" if it is worthwile further developing re Dalvik ?
I would rather wait for the dev ,to enabled Xposed to work with Art and re install it then .?
Bottom line.... its your decision to install or use workaround/fixes !
good luck
Thanks everyone, somehow after a few reboots and some time the problem fixed itself, I also managed to get S-Health to work properly but the Private Mode won't work since the Knox counter is triggered, something related to being rooted, as of yet there is no proper fix for it.

When I had all the problems with xposed, I also lost private mode. I restored my nand (1st I made after rooting) and both s-health and private mode work perfectly.
