[Q] [Help] kitkat update & xposed framework issue

lourdes71 · Apr 4, 2014

Hi all,

I have been looking everywhere for a solution but have found none that solved my issue.

I had xposed framework installed and working fine on my S4 i9505 with 4.3 and just after I updated to 4.4 I just can't install it (new install) nor re-install it with Titanium Backup.

I have the latest version, and it tries to install but finishes installation saying "application not installed" and that's all.

Can anyone give me a hand?

I have stock ROM, rooted with supersu, CWM.

thanks!

You dont need use Titanium Backup for that:

1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it normally like an app
2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!

It seems I'm not explaining myself correctly...

I know how to install Xposed.
I have had it ever since I got the phone 8 months ago. I have changed roms frequently and never had any trouble installing it again.

But since I updated to kitkat 4.4.2 there is no way I can install it again from fresh. That's when I tried with Titanium just in case it worked, but it didn't.

So there must be something wrong with my cel after the update to kitkat 4.4.2.

does anyone know what could be the matter and how to solve it (apart from obviously flashing another ROM)?

thank you

You haven't changed the runtime to ART have you before you tried installing xsposed?

It seems that xposed installer apk is still present in ur system which cannot be overwritten automatically

How can I check that, and if it's so, uninstall it completely? It doesn't show in the list of installed applications at all...

Im not sure if this will work

Check your Internal sd card if you have Xposed-Disabler-recovery-.zip and flash it via custom Recovery mate, then intall xposed once again and Supersu should ask for permission ..

Try flashing xposed Disabler recovery in recovery then try installing it again

Go to data/app and see if there is a file named de.robv.android.xposed.installer-2.apk
Or
de.robv.android.xposed.installer-1.apk
Or
de.robv.android.xposed.installer.apk
Or something like that.

Delete it if it exists

Nothing... I did a complete search with root explorer, only found old logs from supersu's granted permissions for xposed, deleted them just in case, tried to install again from fresh... "application not installed"

How exactly can I do that?
Don't know what you mean by pushing an app... sorry never done that before but I'm a fast learner, please explain

Use a file explorer and copy the xposed apk to system/app then restart to see if works

Yeeeeesssssss!
That did it!

I put it there, rebooted, run the apk from that folder and it installed fine!
there's no sign of the widget anywhere, that's true...
but I can run it through root explorer and add modules, and they are (apparently) working (so far)

I can't thank you enough!
thanks thanks thanks!
