This thread (and http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer) is the one and only true source. You might find copies somewhere else, but copies become outdated. There was a 2.3 beta1 version, but you shouldn't be using it any longer.



Soft reboot restarts the Java stack and one process that is responsible for rendering. Several other services stay up, which is why this is the fastest method.
Reboot sends the "reboot" OS level command, which usually resets the phone immediately and without giving applications and services the chance to end properly. That's why I mentioned you might have just hit a bad moment.
The reboot command in your power menu seems to give the system a few seconds to prepare for shutdown, so this is the safest way to restart.

As you mentioned that the Gapps force close is reproducable, could you please get me a logcat shortly afterwards? Would be interesting to see why it crashes and if the logcat mentions anything about mobile data.
Speaking about that, is the data connection really completely lost? Or is the icon just not blue any longer? As far as I know, Google Services test the connection to some Google servers and that is how the system decides whether the icon should be blue or not. That would at least be a connection to the crash.
EDIT: Just saw your EDIT ;) I forget to mention it from time to time, but you should try if the bug also occurs if you have no modules activated. If it's a module issue, I can search very hard for the cause and won't find it.

I just reinstalled the framework and no issues, it seems that it occurs when you upgrade but after the crash after that upgrade it is all fine.

I tried and tried to find that file/folder. Is it any specific location I have to look for it? Should it be on the Root partition, Internal memory or SD Card? I checked on all three locations, but it was not there. I can send you some screenshots, if it makes it easier.

It starts from the root, data, data, package name, logs and then the file.

Well, 2.3 installed without issue and all modules seem to be functioning without problem, so the BusyBox issue is apparently dependent on specific models. I have two GS3s, and they are fine. Haven't updated GS1 or two tablets (Nexus 7, STab2 7) yet.

Yes, the issue with BusyBox was that I used to compile it statically, that means with everything it needs included. Actually it includes much more than it needs and therefore the binaries become quite large.

For 2.3, I thought I would include a dynamically linked version instead, because all of those dependencies are available on every ROM anyway. That reduced the file size from 624 kB to 366 kB, so it saved 258 kB. Xposed 2.2 has been downloaded more than 240k times, so that would have been 60 GB less traffic. I have a traffic flatrate and I didn't hear anything from my provider yet, but I don't want to waste it either. And of course it needs a little less space and traffic on the end-user's device as well.

However, it seems that either those depencencies aren't there in 100% of the ROMs or that the linker - the one who combines all the parts at runtime - is buggy. I think it might be the linker because according to the tombstone (crash log) posted earlier, the crash occured there. Whatever, 2.3.1 is now back to a static BusyBox for ARM processors. If I get similar reports for x86, I will have to go static for it as well, but then I at least know that it's necessary, not waste.

What file manager are you using?, I use ES and Root Explorer and they work fine.
Make sure the file explorer has obtained root.

I tried CM's File Manager, Ol File Manager, X-plore (with Show hidden), then I got frustrated and uninstalled Xposed. I'll try to install the file I just downloaded from xposed.info: v21_77db90.apk and report back.

The log you requested, it gets deleted at uninstall?

2.3 is Broken, do not update yet until further notice.
I got seg fault errors on my Sony Tablet S which broke the WiFi radio partially.
Restoring to 2.2 fixed it.
On my Nexus 4 it broke mobile data but then after after 2 reboots after the framework installation Gapps forced close and then mobile data started to work again, strange bug but 2.3 is working fine on my Nexus 4 now.

Just to add to the confusing array of info 4.3 is running fine for me on a Nexus 7 and Nexus 4. Both are running stock JWR66Y with Franco Kernel and Busybox 1.20.

So you don't have 2.3.1?, must be some type of bug...

I would just use ES File Explorer for this.

Yes. If it's easier for you, you can also grab a logcat, there are many apps that can do this.

The beta version has been out for almost two weeks (longer than I intended), was downloaded more than 1,000 times and the announcement included the same text: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46002463
Click to expand...
Yes, the directory movement was announced.
Seems i missed the single post out of the 4458 others in this thread :angel: 1000 download are not much compared to 240ooo of the stable.
Maybe the first post or the website (im watching it with an app) could help in the future to announce
