I am using Xposed and definitely recommend GravityBox if you are running on Google UI. Also App Settings to change DPI of some apps so everything doesn't look that big. Fix Lollipop Memory Leak really helped me maintaining more free RAM after long periods without reboot.

Here is the official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Firstly install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and then flash the zip archive in your recovery (xposed-v67-sdk21-arm.zip).
In the Xposed Installer app - "Framework" section you should see your installed version of XposedBridge.jar.
I am currently running a little older version (v64) but i think that doesn't really matter.

I don't think that's true...
The difference between Google and Lenovo UI is just that few apps from AOSP were replaced by themed ones from Lenovo. That's all.
I've had xposed on Lenovo UI on kitkat 4.4.2 without any problems.
I mean, xposed alone should work regardless of your UI. The problem might be with some xposed modules written specifically for AOSP roms (eg. GravityBox).

Maybe, but do you think that it is so easily? Why we don't have already updated to Android Lollipop 5.1.1 ?
What I know is that Xposed without GravityBox is like holiday without sun...
Can you try GravityBox on your curent setup and write result here, please?
GravityBox official:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 5 (AOSP)
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 5
- supports Motorola Moto G Dual SIM running stock Lollipop
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.

im trying on kitkat 4.4.2 (switch to Google style UI)
install xposed
install gravitybox
but gravitybox wont running correctly...
weird...
im try switch to lenovo ui back...
install xposed..
install gravity..
gravitybox work well..
weird...
how to make gravitybox work on 4.4.2 google ui style???
any help please...

on kitkat ROW i use successfully gravity box and xblast tools.... NO PROBLEM.

[I bought a ROW version with Kitkat.
Updated it for Stock Lollipop.
Rooted it with 0_install_root_K920Pro.bat.
Unlocked bootloader with VibeZ2Pro_ROW_UnLock_BootLoader_L using Qfil
Run (did not flash) TWRP 0_run_twrp_recovery_K920Pro.bat
Backed up my working stock ROM
Flashed DragonVibe8 with TWRP run
Installed XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Flashed xposed-v71-sdk21-arm.zip using TWRP run
Installed GravityBox_Lollipop_5.1.4.apk
Everything on Gravity Box works perfectly on Vibe UI.
Installed Titanium backup, froze unwanted apps.
After I was sure, removed all bloatware which were frozen using Titanium backup.
Installed Device control. Modified CPU and GPU settings.
My K920 is now amazing on performance, power backup, functionalities and features in addition to its lovely Hardware (screen, camera and looks).
Thank you

Xposed on Stock 4.1.2?

Does anyone here use the Xposed Framework on stock 4.1.2? I'm currently running CM11 nightlies but I thought I might revert back to stock if Xposed provides enough functionality. I just found out about Xposed otherwise I would have tried it already. If you do you use Xposed, how is the performance? Would you say it's better to use Xposed on stock or a different ROM? Thanks.

Its great. See my ...Telstra jb... in the dev sec for tips ( @ the end , after the clone rom flash.
GO Xposed!!! - you may never go back to "custom" - Actually, I am a bit of a "crack-flasher", but I always return to "Stock/Xposed" when I want something stable. My favorite Xposed module "Gravity Box" has most everything the custom ROMs have (status bar colors, navigation size, reboot menu, cursor keys, etc.) Add in a "quick settings" app and you can make 4.1.2 "look" about like Kit Kat. Does it hurt performance... Maybe, but I've found stock to usually run faster anyways.
(P.S. - I probably wouldn't have unlocked either if I would have found Xposed sooner)
Pics of narrow bar & too skinny-it will not click.
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Xposed on xz3

Hey,
Now that alpha 4 is out, I'm curious to know what xposed modules you are using and on what rom.
I'm new to Sony so I'm first getting to know my phone, before trying to customize it. The only module currently installed is true silent mode, on stock rooted 5.0.2.
What about you ?
20MP Superior Auto
Bootmanager
Exchange Bypass For Lollipop
GEM Xperia Xposed
UnbelovedHosts
Youtube AdAway
All installed on my Z3, working fine!
Oh and, stock prerooted firmware!

Do any of these modules enable vibration intensity control as it's not available in stock lollipop.

I haven't found that option in any of the xposed modules I have installed. By the way, I've installed GravityBox LP, it works just fine

How is the 20mp superior auto? Any reason why this option isn't available for stock? Does it put a strain on the hardware or something?

Took this picture yesterday. Works like a charm!
As to why this isn't a stock feature: I really don't know. It doesn't really put any extra strain on the phone performance-wise... At least, not that I noticed.
I have some noon questions, please be kind tried to find out answers on the forum but there is so much old & new information mixed up..
1) Is unlocked bootloader necessary for Xposed to install on lollipop?
2) Is bootloop really fixed now?
Thanks

[SM-G901F] Galaxy S5 Plus - DPI change messes up certain apps. How to fix that?

I changed the DPI of my S5 Plus to 400 instead of the default 480. Some apps now appear in smaller boxes on the screen. For me the biggest problem is that the camera now has this problem.
In other threads people bring this up for the normal s5. The solution is to use Xposed to set custom Appsettings. But the problem is that Xposed doesn't work (yet) on the S5 plus! So is there any other way to fix the camera app?
Cheers!

hmmm.... so how to install it? When I'm in the xposed installer app, it says: Xposed is not yet compatible with android sdk 21 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)...
you just have to flash the latest xposed with your recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65373013&postcount=3960) and install xposed alpha 4 apk
I assume it also works with rovo89's official xposed but I'm not sure.

I think that you should try since we have the same firmware as the "standard" S5. It is just that our device is not very popular and so it is not on the list.

Most features of Gravity box bootmanager privacy manager are inbuilt in most rom for ads thers adaway

I know that bro that we get most of the features inbuilt in roms and other can be added using apps and magisk....
but not all roms provides most of the features and also neither apps nor magisk can fulfill the needs of Xposed framework etc.
There are lots of Xposed modules whose alternative still not found...
For example adaway don't blocks all ads system wide as it only modifies the hostfile so thier still space left for ads even if it is blocked by the hostfile...
MinMinGuard removes the ad space which are left by Adaway.
There are lots of example but I can't explain them all to you.

It's a substratum theme problem. Im almost 100% sure.
Several apps keeps force closed when xposed is on.
(YouTube, Nova Launcher, Greenify, etc)
Turned off xposed by Xposed Installer option then everything alright. I think i'll wait for the stable official one.
Current rom : latest RR
Greenify, adaway and background playback is not working

best custom rom for x compact?

I wonder what is best custom rom for x compact since tried some roms (omni rom 8.1, lineage rom 14.1 and k.e.m rom 7.0 ) but noone was any good i mean camera flickering, or so... so far im using rooted 8.0 with drm fix but it feels like i need some tweaks or performace cause that old man needs a new coat once in a while... what are your thoughts? maybe i can put sume safe tweaks on performace side of 8.0, it's kinda sluggish now but still better than these roms in my opinion
You can remove a lots of bloatware. After that it's fast. I was on OMNI and moved to rooted stock so I can compare.

You can simply use adb or I use Titanium Backup, it can uninstall system apps.
