Device freezing and rebooting while installing an apk - Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm experienced a weird bug - when installing an APK file the phone hangs and I need to force restart it. After restarting the phone and trying to open the app being updated - a crash occurs. The update process is seemingly corrupting the app as I need to uninstall it and install again to make it work, making the associated data gone. It is frustrating, because it happens like I'd say 50/50 of times.
Happens while installing an app manually and using root in Yalp. Play Store not tested as it is not present on the phone.
The setup is Xperia X compact running latest .118 Oreo with microg, no GAPPS, Magisk, official Xposed 90 beta3,
Xposed modules: BatteryCare+, FakeGAPPS, GravityBox, XposedGmsCoreUnifiedNlp, XPrivacyLua
It did happen on Xperia X and Xperia XZ with similar setup on Oreo. I wonder if it might be caused by Xposed bundled with Xperia Software?

Actually I'm facing similar issue. I concluded it's caused by Xposed and certain modules. In fact, it's a known issue of Xposed for Oreo. According to rovo89, existing Xposed has problem with ART in Oreo.
As a workaround, now whenever I need to install/uninstall anything, I disable Xposed in Magisk first.

Thank you @itandy for replying. Have you tried installing EdXposed instead of the regular Xposed?
Well it is basically for Pie but it is supposed to work on oreo too. Whenever I tried to install it on X compact running Oreo I got bootloop.
I have found that only some apps installation would cause a freeze and reboot. But your solution is safer of course.

Unfortunately EdXposed doesn't work last time I tried. It fails to boot at all.

[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

Xposed Marshmallow Help?

I have extensively searched the forums here for a solution, and haven't been able to find one. If someone knows how to fix this, or can try to help me, I would really appreciate it. I just updated my phone to Marshmallow, and everything is running great. I have SuperSU up and running, and TWRP installed. Everytime I try to install Xposed, my phone boots up, but once the boot finishes it just hangs on a black screen forever. The only way to get the device to boot is by flashing the Xposed uninstaller. I have tried disabling all of my Xposed modules in hopes that would fix the problem, but it did not. I am trying to flash the xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip by the way. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Should I try to find and flash version 78? I've seen a bunch of people having no issues installing Xposed on Marshmallow, so I assume I am doing something wrong. I tried redownloading the file a few times too.
Thank you very much in advance for trying to assist me!! Happy Holidays everyone!
after flashing xposed, do you wipe both caches?. You also can try to install xposed application (apk) first and later flash xposed from twrp.

Thanks for your response. I tried wiping both caches before and after installing Xposed. I also tried it once with only wiping cache after. Each time, I already had the Xposed apk downloaded because I had Xposed up and running on Lollipop.
I'm running "xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64.zip" without issue on my MXPE on MM.

Just tried that version. Same issue, boot animation finishes, then it's just a black screen forever. I'm going to try uninstalling the Xposed app and then installing the framework and see if that works.
Just for kicks, I uninstalled xposed v78 and installed "xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip". It's working great on my phone.
I would try again. Do a hard power down during the hang at the black screen (hold power button down for 10-20 seconds?) and reboot to see if that fixes thing.
Edit: I should note, I cleared all the cache (including Davlik) before and after the install of xposed.

Just wanted to let you know I got it to work. I had to uninstall the Xposed app, uninstall the framework, and then reinstall the framework and reinstall the app. I had a few modules mess me up and cause the black screen and I had to start all over a ton of times, but after hours and hours I finally seem to have everything working for now. Thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it!!
Can you please advise how to uninstall xposed framework? I'm trying to do it via xposed Uninstaller but no luck... Thx in advance for any help

I'm not sure, I currently am not using Xposed anymore. The only way I know is to use the uninstaller and to uninstall the app from your phone. I'm sorry if I can't be of more assistance :/

Do you have any modules installed? If you install Xposed and then install the app, everything should work. Certain modules may not be compatible and they may prevent your phone from booting. You may have to turn off all modules and then turn them on one at a time and see what causes your issue.

No modules, and even no installer app installed. Still black screen mm6.0.1 xstyle 1572 rooted and unlocked bl.
Possible Solution
I had the same problem on my moto, I ended up flashing version 86 of xposed framework and also updated the app to the alpha 4 version. After I did that I had to clear cache and then use root browser to change my xposed disabled file to another. After a long reboot I have xposed running again.

Xposed for Nougat on Tablet Z4

Since official Xposed for Nougat is finally available https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, here some instructions for Tablet Z4:
I successfully installed it on SGP771 (32.3.A.2.33, Android 7.0). Installation the standard way, flash zip (xposed-v88-sdk24-arm64.zip in my case), reboot, install XposedInstaller_3.1.2.apk).
The first boot takes really long (5 Minutes?)! It spends a lot of time at the white-curved-lines boot animation. Just be patient!
No bootloops, crashes, error messages. Framework is active.
The only problems I experience is that some modules don't seem to work. (Play Store Changelog, Secure Settings, You Tube Background Playback). They are enabled, no warnings. They just don't do anything. Others are working (AndroPlusMod).
Secure Settings is complaining that it cannot detect root access. But it's present (SuperSu 2.82) and working in other apps.
Anyone having similar experience or solutions?

Latest Magisk and SafetyNet on Stock N

Hello guys,
Please accept my apologies if this topic was asked/discussed in other threads. I was unable to find an answer to this question with my searches.
For a while now, I have noticed that Magisk fails SafetyNet on Nougat stock ROM. If my memory serves me, it started with v16.0 and now with beta ver. 16.2 the issue is still ongoing.
Has anyone found a way to pass SafetyNet for stock ROM?
P.S. I have noticed that in Magisk Manager settings, the option "Magisk Hide" disables itself after reboot, I assume something prevents it from working properly (???).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Catalin D
I've been having the same issue and got no solutions other than using 15.3.

Better than no solution at all!
I can confirm the same results. I went ahead and tried all versions from 15.3 to 16.3 - only 15.3 works.
Unfortunately that version is lacking something for me at least... Have you been able to get modules working in 15.3?
They fail to install directly from Magisk Manager. When I try to do it manually in TWRP, I get no errors but the modules are not there when I boot back into the system.
There's clearly some problems we're having that other devices aren't... And the fact that these problems seem to be handled silently doesn't help.

Works fine here w/ same Magisk & Manager.
try this: Uninstall Vanced. Reinstall YouTube, but freeze it after install. Reboot. Redownload & install Vanced. Reboot. Unfreeze original YouTube & profit. Goodluck.

there's an even easier fix. Usually Vanced (iYTBP) doesn't work because there are two installs of Youtube (on /system/app and on /data/app) and it only replaces the one in /system. The solution is to deactivate auto-updates, then use a file manager (i recommend root browser all the way) to delete the /data/app/com.google.youtube folder (or however it is called, but the one that has the youtube apk inside).
and of course reboot after that
Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed in the beta released today. (version name 16.4 - version code 1642) Working great.
Looking at his (topjohnwu's) changelog, it seems he made a ton of structure changes and improvements regarding MagiskHide, so it's no surprise this got fixed in the process.
May Magisk and the Axon 7 live long and prosper!

EdXposed and GravityBox system framework not responding - Help?

Was running EdXposed and GravityBox on my LG-V30 before. Downloaded and installed EdXposed (through Magisk) without issue. Installed MinMinGuard and it is running fine. Installed GravityBox [P], but everytime I attempt to launch the UI I get, "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting." I seem to remember having a similar issue with my LG-V30, but I can't for the life of me remember what the fix was. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting, etc... Nothing seems to work. Anyone else run into this issue and already figure it out?
Disregard. I didn't realize that we're running Android 10 and not P... Downloaded Gravitybox beta for Q. Everything works now.
