just switched from kitkat to android L. i had xposed framework working on kitkat and i know it doesn't work on L's ART
so has anyone come across any framework that works for 5.0? and what customizing apps work with L currently? any feedback is welcome

Hi.
As you know indeed, any xposed-based apps don't work.
So, all other (almost) that require root access works.
If you don't use a 5-rooted rom, You have to manually root thanks to latest chainfire's "cf-auto-root",
then install "supersu" app, and "busybox" also.
I only met problem with wakelock detector not detecting root access for the moment.
V4A, TiBu and Greenify for example work.

i am rooted at the moment with supersu and busybox. i used nexus root toolkit by WugFresh. had problems with greenify. wouldn't hibernate a lot of apps, including whatsapp,viber,etc. the basic ones. didn't even try to hibernate system ones. just the ones i use frequently. but to no avail.
p.s: what is 5-rooted rom
Xposed doesn't work currently with ART runtime which is what used on L, the developer said he may or may not be able to make it happen and if needed it may take some time. So if you want a lot of customizations you'll want to stick for 4.4 now and wait for some L custom roms to pop up.
No clue about the google apps, try uninstalling one, restarting and reinstalling and see if the behaviour changes.
Next time, questions goes in Q&A section.

Oh, didn't read your first post correctly, and I know you said it may have been in the wrong section, I just stated what is the right one for next time, didn't mean to sound offensive if I was.

just wanted to see if anyone has come across any xposed-alternative that is out there that i haven't heard of yet
you can move my post to the Q&A if that's where it belongs in case others have same wondering as i do
so people, what apps are you using on a rooted android 5.0?

Hi, I just got a nexus4 and would like to keep it stock (have a sgs2 that I use for trying roms out on) but I would like to something that gives me a bit more control over how apps use my info. On my sgs2 I love openpdroid and I almost considered LBE (don't like that it doesn't allow spoofing) but seems that its been having alot of issues so that doesn't seem like a great idea. I could have sworn that I had seen one or two threads before where some devs were working on some things similar to pdroid that were also a bit simpler to install and seemed like they might install on stock roms but can't find these threads. Does anyone have any suggestions for other apps that would give a bit more control over how user info is managed? Thx in advance!

I've been meaning to check out XPosed, I keep seeing it everywhere.
I guess I have one main question related to Xposed then, for the Nexus 4, as I am trying to keep it as-stock-as-possible would the XPosed framework interfere or break the "stockness" (forgive me with the terminology) of the stock rom? That is, will it continue to update when google pushes out new updates like 4.4.3, 4.4.4, and so on? Regardless I am going to look into it for my sgs2 as I am more tolerant of tinkering but the Nexus4 is not for me and they (sig other) just wants a no-fuss phone and I want them to have a no-fuss phone with a reasonable level of privacy (always a balance )

Absolutely not, your "stockiness" will not break, as one of the main features of the xposed framework is allowing mods without flashing files and/or modifying system files. You will still receive OTAs, but to install them you'll have to uninstall The framework. (It's just a button press in the xposed app and 2 seconds of waiting) you can reinstall xposed after the OTA.

when google pushes a new update(as so called OTA or Over The Air)your phone will display the update info. however when installing it will fail since one of the files in the system is modified(the app_process in /system/bin). then you go to the Xposed app. and unninstall de framework. or use any root explorer(since u will need to have root to install xposed) and delete app_process in /system/bin and rename the app_process.bak to just app_process(in same dir).
thats what he meant.
Edit:
you will loose all configurations,sdcard contents, downloaded apps, etc.... . if u still didnt unlock your bootloader(witch looks like no),because u will need to root your phone.

You will not have any problem if youre already rooted. When an OTA comes, just Open the Xposed app and press the button to uninstall the framework. Your OTA Will work just fine.
After the OTA, just click the insatll button to re install Xposed. Really simple, really. And since youre gonna install Xposed, I suggest you try out GravityBox too, its ****ing awesome.

I think I have you a "thank" click but wanted to come back to the post and thank you again, Xposed is impressive but XPrivacy is overwhelming, in an awesome way, and I thought PDroid covered alot. I've got some reading/re-reading to do but just wanted to say thanks cause i don't think I would have come across it otherwise. much appreciated! (and yeah, gravbox pretty damn nice too)
The few questions I have are if I root my Sprint GS5 theres some things I want to know if I can do or not.
1) I wanna know that if I root my phone can I change the color of my pull-down notification center/entire settings menu or change my battery icon in the top right ir just little things like that in general.
2) Im not a big fan of Androids version of Twitter so I was wondering that if my phone was rooted would I be able to get Apple's version of Twitter on my GS5. Or if I could get keyboards that wouldnt normally be available without root access.
Any help or feedback will be appreciated, Thank you.

No. Apple IOS is a different operating system than Android, so you can't run Apple apps on a S5. See if there is an Android version of the app or look at the other Android versions to find a similar app that is to your taste.
Changing icons and colours is a lot easier. Given root, you can use Xposed framework and Wanam to make those changes. Or any number of other theming apps. You could even learn how to theme (make the changes manually) if you wish too by studying the theming tutorials in the forum.
Lots of keyboards and a lot of other stuff that you could never do on Apple as well.

Okay thank you. So you're telling me that "Xposed Framework and Wanam" will allow me to change the color of my pull down notification bar and settings, or my battery icon easily?

Look for towelroot in the Sprint GS5 forum post I provided (make sure you download the version posted in the forum by CCallahan and not directly from towelroot.com - it will not work: read in the post why) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737724
I did it to my SM-G900P and it was the easiest method ive ever encountered with a phone so far (1 click root) Just make sure to install SuperSU after you towelroot
And yes, download Xposed Installer and search for Wanam mod in the installer's search feature. And also get XBlast Tools. Wanam is for TouchWiz - XBlast Tools are for every device. Combined, you will be able to do whatever you want.
Hope this helps! - zmag

Nothing is risk free, including walking across a street or rooting a phone. But if you took a few minutes to read some posts in the forum, you'd quickly learn that 99% of people don't have any significant problems. If you're still worried, then don't root your phone.

Hello everybody, good news!
I'm not sure if most people read this site on an "actual PC", or are in the habit of glancing over to the XDA Portal posts... one jumped out at me today though, as a very unexpected surprise So, it's confirmed: the Xposed framework can be modified (requires editing some .jar files... not exactly an easy task, but the link to the guide thread seems like it has the full instructions kind of scattered about the thread despite the OP being a bit "sparse"), to run on TW based Lollipop ROMs!
Not sure if y'all are into that sort of thing p), but here's the thread with instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/guide-xposed-framework-samsung-lollipop-t3113143
Personally, I just have to digest this for a bit... I'm desperately in need of a clean install (phone is several kinds of jacked-up atm, due to some... "bold experimentation"), and I actually just got a 128GB micro SD, of which I'm planning on partitioning 16GB of as ext4 for my planned MultiSystem installation (the dev posted in this forum, but hasn't yet(?) replied in the thread... here's the main thread for that tool for those who are interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...eplacement-t3102395/post60583768#post60583768. Anyway, I was definitely planning on flashing ANK4 then clean install DK 4.2 (I'm pretty averse to "early-adoption", particularly wrt major OS updates and tech hardware... that's how I roll on my PC, having learned pretty quickly "the hard way" that, in general, an "integer" update of a OS needs at least a couple bug fix updates in order to... "prevent disruptions to my workflow", I suppose.) I know, it's hard to think of installing LP on our phones as "early-adoption", but has anyone had a "bug-free" experience with stock COD6? I did find it quite interesting that 5.1.1 for the S6 Edge leaked like 3 days after T-mobile pushed out the N4 update (the last of the carriers to update the past and present "best" phone one can buy IMO). I think that occurrence gave us a glimpse into where the priorities of the OEM and our carrier lie.
Anyway, after writing this and recalling the degree to which our fantastic devs have been tearing LP apart I've decided that update time, for me, has come I'm going to base my MultiSystem install on COD6... thank you to every developer/contributor who have worked extremely hard on making our LP update "usable"... also HUGE THANKS to @darkera13 for his guide to get Xposed running on TW LP. The incompatibility really made my experience testing out the update feel "off". Like everyone, I have a handful of apps/tweaks that I need to run... for me, some of the most "vital" are Xposed modules. Obviously there are many modules that won't be compatible... yet... but the fact that Xposed on TW LP has been achieved, and the base ROM version dictates which other ROMs that one can install with the MultiSystem tool, total change of plans Now I'll be "catching up" to the rest of the community here and installing COD6, which will hopefully be the last time that I mess with ODIN for a while
It would be great if everyone who tries out this early version of Xposed could post their experiences: any problems (or solutions :good with installation, modules that they've found to work as well as any that didn't or caused some sort of problem
Just want to say a special thanks to @bri315317 and @SICKMADE for all of the fantastic work that they've done on COD6! Excitement :good:

[UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for Samsung Lollipop by arter97
Awesome to hear that a few of you have got it working! I just finished my LP update and ROM installation I haven't done much aside from from restoring apps from TB yet, but based on that, I feel sufficiently qualified to state that LP is the best Android OS EVAR!!:laugh:
I was just wondering which recovery and version are those who are running it using? I just ask because the guide recommends Philz CWM, but I'm currently/always have used TWRP on my N4 (and would prefer to continue...) Thanks in advance!
If you had previously installed xposed make sure you disable all modules before flashing, as some modules are incompatible and may cause a boot loop.

Got Xposed working great on my phone. No issues so far
The install was successful. However the modules i wanted to use didn't work i.e. Complete action plus, wanam xposed, nfc screen off.
Has everyone used a deodexed rom or did you get this working on stock?
Deodexed rom. It doesn't work on stock yet.
Anyone know of a list of modules working on this version? I've seen lists of working modules on 5.1 and not sure if it's the same on 5.0.1 TW.
I'm just glad app settings is working well. ?

Your ROM needs to be deodexed according to the guide that I linked to in the OP. If you check that out though, I believe that there are a couple of links (I think in the second post) to tools or instructions to deodex any ROM.
I installed Xposed yesterday I don't think that any of the installation methods are terribly difficult, but I used the two flashable zips in the PopRocks ROM thread. There's A LOT of info in the first two posts in that thread, so the xposed stuff is a bit hard to find, but I think they were near the middle(?) of the second post. You can just search the first page for the word "Xposed" and you'll find the two zips put together by @note4me. That should work on any ROM, I flashed the zips on Dynamic Pop and :good:! Just make sure to grab both zips and flash the one that has "sdk" in the name last. I used TWRP 2.8.4.0, and had no problems
Here's a list of the modules that I have running successfully so far:
Amplify :good:
BootManager
BubbleUPnP
Coolify Flat :good:
Greenify (boost mode) :good:
PlayPermissionsExposed
UnbelovedHosts :good:
Unicon :good:

Hi everyone,
I have a really crazy idea and like to hear your opinion about it. But first let me introduce the topic.
First, let's take a look at what is going on when upgrading from one major Android version to a newer.
The boot and system partition are filled with new content.
Beside kernel adjustments, this is only related to Android, not device specific stuff, right?
Then we have more stuff like the recovery, closed source drivers for the modem, etc. Several times I read about the "firmware". I'm not sure what is meant with firmware exactly in case of a smartphone and how much device specific it is.
How much is this further stuff related to the Android version running on the device?
Summarizing, what is done by a manufacturer when upgrading a device from let's say Marshmallow to Nougat? What needs to be touched and what is not?
Now to the crazy idea. What about downgrading from one major Android version to an older, espacially when there is no older version by the manufacturer? What would need to be touched in this case? Did someone ever try this?
Finally I come to the real question:
Is it possible to port Android Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5?
The reason for this crazy idea is that I can't live without Xposed. But the Xposed Framework isn't available yet for Android Nougat. And to be honest, I'm not sure anymore if it will ever be.
I'm a developer, but I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to help porting Xposed over to Android Nougat. I would if I could, but my time is limited also.
In contrast to porting Xposed to Nougat, porting Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5 might be easier for me or us, the people who would like to have a OnePlus 5, but can't live without Xposed.
I'm curious about what you think about this crazy idea.
What about Magisk? I've heard that Magisk simplify everything
I actually like the idea! It would be great to have "retro" ROMs, like Android 5, 4.4, or lower. I know it's a bit stupid, but that would be cool in my opinion
I would love it also just because of Xposed,nothing else really

Magisk is a great tool, but it doesn't have the capabilities of Xposed. So this won't help.
But let's talk only about Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5 here, not about alternatives.
I would absolutely love if OP5 had a Custom Marshmallow port.....I also cannot live without Xposed.
I heard Xposed was ported on Nougat Rom with ARM architecture

Just curious, but why? What do you use in Xposed you can't live without that root and custom ROMs don't offer?
Due to the fact you would have to literally write a kernel for MM for the Oneplus5 as there is no existing one, it would be more worthwhile to put all that time into geting Xposed working.
It's probably possible but the mammoth effort to get an older OS on your device would not be expedient...

I am currently using the Oneplus 5,
do you think there could be any way i can use Xposed?
The reason I prefer Oneplus is for being so open and easy to root together with Xposed personally.
1. Technically it should be possible, you just need drivers that would boot Marshmallow on SD 835.
2. Older systems usually have simpler/less API than new one, so there would be no "unsupported" system features.
3. Easiest way would be to port a kernel from a device that shipps with SD 835 and Marshmallow, for now I saw some on benchmarks, but they will probably ship with N onboard when released.

We don't discuss this here. You can believe me, when I say I can't live without it. Xposed's capabilities go much much further then custom roms.

Not possible currently without Xposed. Have not seen an app able to do this, have not seen Tasker or Tasker Plug-In able to do this.....nothing does this function. Very useful!
@geoff5093 OK, if you really want to know, I took the time to create a short list:
YouTube AdAway is a good example. It removes ads from the original YouTube app.
YouTube Background Playback adds what you usually only get when you pay for YouTube Red.
XHangouts adds certain stuff to the Hangouts app, like moving the call button to the manu, so that you don't accidently press it.
Amplify can extend your battery life.
Greenify works also only with root, but better (more capabilities) with Xposed.
MinMinGuard removes ads from apps.
App Settings, a classic module by rovo89, the developer of Xposed, can do several configuration stuff per app.
GravityBox is an example, that offers functionality that can also be done by using a custom rom, but selected features are only offered by this module.
I do even more with Xposed, almost everything isn't possible using only root and custom roms.
TL;DR
A custom rom can only add/change functionality of built in stuff, not apps. Xposed can manipulate also apps.

@geoff5093 OK, if you really want to know, I took the time to create a short list:
YouTube AdAway is a good example. It removes ads from the original YouTube app.
YouTube Background Playback adds what you usually only get when you pay for YouTube Red.
XHangouts adds certain stuff to the Hangouts app, like moving the call button to the manu, so that you don't accidently press it.
Amplify can extend your battery life.

Thanks for the list. I used to use many of those as well, but the benefits of greenify and amplify are pretty much moot when you have to sacrifice the significantly enhanced performance of doze in Nougat.

It seems that not many people are interested in Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. This is comprehensible, at least since we saw a first unofficial release of Xposed for Nougat here on XDA.
For everyone participating in this thread, Xposed is the reason why we would like to see Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. Once Xposed for Nougat is out, the idea get's obsolete.
Let's see when we will get Xposed for Nougat, hopefully rovo89 is successful! :fingers-crossed:

I heard Xposed was ported on Nougat Rom with ARM architecture

Unofficial Xposed is Working on Nugat, though it breaks, SafetyNet. It was first tasted on OP3T :fingers-crossed:
[XPOSED] [NOUGAT] [WORK] [CAN UNSTABLE] Xposed SDK25/24 for all arch
Not all of the Modules are working, here's an Unofficial List...
[UNOFFICIAL] List of modules which work with Nougat Xposed SDK25
the Unofficial Supported Device list sohows OP5 is supported.
Take risk, you never know what you may find. At least you may come up with some interesting Logs.
Xposed was released for Oreo! Been so long don't know where to start.
EDIT: (I was just being dumb)
Grab the systemless version. Easiest way is through Magisk. Just make sure your on 15.2 or grab it via the link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
I think the best method is using the systemless version for magisk, I just tried it and it works.
Simpy go into modules and you will see the sdk27 version at the very bottom: tap on it, you see there is an updated xposed manager apk made for the new magisk version.
Download the apk, install the module, reboot, install apk, reboot.
Works with no problems
Enjoy

I feel dumb but I don't see xposed anywhere in the modules section of the Magisk Manager app.
Is there some other way I should be finding modules? I click on the hamburger menu and then downloads and there's about 30 or so listed.

Never mind. I figured out I had to be on Magisk 15.2. I was on 14.5.
So anyway I downloaded the Xposed Installer that is linked in Magisk Manager and installed it. Then I installed Xposed inside of Magisk. The only problem is the Xposed Installer crashes every time I click on a module to download. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I confirm, I don't know if it's caused by Magisk or because it's just a beta...
Anyway there is a workaround, instead of downloading the module from xposed manager, download the apk of the module from internet (official repo website or from whatever you want), because when you are going to install and enable the modules there are no problems, and after a reboot they're working.
Updated op to reflect install options. Happy modding everyone!
Success! ?
.. now for that network speed in the status bar hehe
has anyone succeeded in using xprivacy? I tried, it said xprivacy is not enabled.
Uh for some reason my downloads tab of Xposed just constantly says pull down to refresh and offers no modules

Did you download the modded apk as well? That's what threw me off

Don't know if it's supported. Of course you rebooted? I'm sure a lot of things will need slight tweaks to work on Oreo

Yeah I did everything the same as the way you installed nougat Xposed systemlessly. Also the framework module caused a lot of choppiness on my phone so I uninstalled it anyways
Just a head's up that MinMinGuard causes my Pixel to start crashing like crazy
I have been thinking of installing this since last night, but with it still in beta and modules still needing fixed for 8.1 I just can't see any reason (other than something new for me to play with) that will benefit me enough to deal with the SafetyNet failure.
How is Xposed for 8.1 now? Any updates on this? Thanks! @sliding_billy

Not running it since it still doesn't offer a way to pass SafetyNet.

Alrighty, thanks. I got a question for you senior member, of all the roms you've tested, which has the best battery life even if compromising a little performance? Thanks. Also, any interesting things going on for our og pixel?

I am happily enjoying the stock ROM on my XL and I keep the same installed on my wife's Pixel. I spent years swapping out custom ROMs on various devices and expected to do the same when I got the PIxels (very shortly after released almost 2 years ago). After the initial shortage of custom ROMs (due to the new OS engineering method) subsided and plenty came out, I realized there was nothing I was missing enough to deal with running custom and not being able to do a monthly update that takes me literally less than 10 minutes. Besides not missing anything, there is pretty much no bloat I need to get rid of, and the device still runs great even with a handful of "always on" apps. Probably best for you to look at the development sub-forum and do your research there and ask questions.
haven't used xposed in years. Is it still worth it with the recent android OS's?

That's like asking, "which tastes better, vanilla or chocolate?" Make a twrp backup, and give it a try, what you like, another may hate. For me, it's fun to add features when I'm using a rom that is lacking in that department.
