Used the Verizon fixes and when ever I call 4g drops to 1x so I believe they didn't work?

OK another oddity. I can't install the xposed zip using flashfire: it doesn't appear in my files though it is there. I have renamed it, moved to another directory, rebooted, etc. Flashfire doesn't see it. ;(

Edit: I found a workaround. I uploaded that zip to mega, then re downloaded and it got recognized in the mega downloads folder by flahfire. Still isn't recognized in other directories though. Weird!

This error means you do not have the adb files in your folder with all your root files. You must have all the files together for it to work. Find your adb files and put them in that folder that has your su files and your root.bat files and it will work. It looks like you have a super folder inside your adb folder. No sub folders, put all the files in one folder.

OK how do I Uninstall xposed? Too many issues as some apps now won't open if on data but do on WiFi. Playstore won't load as well when on data.

Um yes that sounds like it didn't work. Maybe you didn't set the permissions on the files? Was volte turned on prior to flashing the U firmware? I have a feeling that it has to be enabled before flashing....

Either that or your CSC and ims files your copied over didn't have the permissions set right....

Hmm are you using the correct zip? Also did you unzip the main zip and only flash the proper zip inside?

There is an uninstall file floating around somewhere.... I'll try to find it
What does the U Firmware do if you don't mind my asking?
The U firmware gives Verizon users the unlocked firmware which is free from all Verizon bloat and includes features that Verizon had stripped out

I started getting this service provider update popup that would force me to hit okay which would restart my phone... It had something to do with the sim activation because it would stop the pop up as soon i removed the sim card. it was driving me nuts, I had to factory flash the firmware over...

I've updated the app but the binaries will fail. I suggest not updating the app because now when you open the app it tells you to update the binaries every time. Annoying
I had this exact same issue with the service provider update popup as well. I had to replace the firmware as well.

Just read in another forum other people are having this issue as well. They stayed it seemed to happen after installing xtouchwiz in xposed. Seems logical considering I had that exact same thing happen right after I enabled the xtouchwiz module and made some changes and rebooted.

If yours is in system/app then overwrite that one instead of priv-app. Usually it's in priv-app like it was on mine but if yours is different replace it wherever it is.

Funny... I was getting ready to post the same question... I saw them yesterday but flashed the cleaned up Rom today and can't find them in xposed...

no fast charging...and for me wifi passwords aren't saving still. I guess I'll get up and redo the files
Most likely it's your cable. I had the same issue, it appears there's for time pins in your charger plug and one of them broke off. It was working that morning and during the process of flashing, some how I broke the pin. Tried a different cord and and everything is back to normal
