Xposed Modules

Hey! Day 2 with my new tablet here :) I spent some time today getting myself root access and set up Xposed... OK, I really set up Xposed. It's been a while since I've looked through the repo so there were a ton of new modules. Very clearly some thing(s) aren't getting along. I had no problems whatsoever after attaining root and installing Wanam's Xposed. I can't even check atm how many modules I have because I'm getting an insta-reboot after launching most apps but it's more than 10. There are a few that I'm pretty sure are working fine because I was able to see them in action.

The ones I'm pretty sure these are working ok:
Xposed Additions
Xui Mod
Gravity Box (LP) (make changes slowly or it could cause problems)
Greenify
Hmm, that's all I can think of atm... a lot of the ones I'm unsure of are probably fine, but their effects are harder to observe so I'll list those last.

Don't seem to be working:
XStana
Wanam LP (? not sure about that)
Net Speed Indicator
iFont (? this might work... can't test it though)

Unsure if problematic:
Amplify
Unbeloved Hosts (? not sure... hope so though)
Play Permissions Exposed
Unicon (disappointingly definitely doesn't work, really like this one)

Those are all I can think of without being able to see what else, but I have a few more. Does anyone use/have any info on the modules I've listed? Anything else you're using that's worthwhile?

One last question: Does anyone happen to remember the key combo to boot with Xposed disabled? I just can't think of it right now....

Thanks! Hope to get some good Xposed/module discussion going in here :good:

I've found you have to turn them on slowly tho. Too many system UI changes at once cause problems.
Seems to be the case. I really like having a nav bar. Were you able to get any status bar changes to take? Center clock or net speed indicator for instance?

Also have you tried xui mod? I really like that one, some awesome visual effects.

I have tried xui on my note 4 and had it working as well as the s2 on 5.0, but haven't tried it on 5.1. I love that mod. I boot looped but I think it was too many mods at one time.

I have gotten center clock to work from either wanam or gravity box. Cant remember. But one of them worked for that. Also stock battery to dotted circle with Gravity. Those devs are great. They will make it happen eventually.

iFont is typically one of the first apps I install when I get a new device so I usually set it up before I root. I've always wondered what are the differences between the app and the xposed mod for iFont?
That's a good question... the answer to which I have no idea :) I forgot that it was also an app so thanks for the reminder. I can't really see what the advantage to the Xposed mod would be; the S2 doesn't seem to like having too many modules running. The app works great though :good:

A note about Gravity Box that'll hopefully be helpful to others - the newest version (5.34) messed up some things with my setup. Removal of the nav bar was the most noticeable example but there were a couple of other things. Version 5.33 worked fine so I'm going to stick with that one for now on my S2.

One Question: The XPosed-Framework is for Android 5.1.1 and 6.0. Galaxy Tab S2 is still on 5.0.2.
There is only one custom Rom for Tab S2 from 21.09.2015. Do you know if some other custom roms are coming? Or dont the delevelopers like the tab s2?

I'd surely whip one up for my 817T if I could ;) The tablet is is still somewhat new... another consideration is the Exynos processor which tends to lead to less development vs. Qualcomm devices. I would love to run a custom ROM and kernel on my S2 but I really enjoy it and use it a ton just stock rooted. I can't send out enough thanks to @ashyx for laying out the root method for my variant and all of his help otherwise :good:

So to answer your question, we shall see :)

I have the 810 9.7 Wifi. Would love to have a great custom Rom like Alliance Rom....
