How to install Xposed on your Snapdragon S8+
I want to thank the man @elliwigy for making root happen!
I also want to thank @ErnyTech for making Xposed happen also!
Now it's time to share how to install this bad boy on Snapdragon S8+
First, you will need is flash fire and root to make this work!
Make sure you download these files to get Xposed to work people it's an easy way to work
1.https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25965
2.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B8N7MRg8VIZRMVN5eFVEdGdoaFU
Make sure you get the updated version for link number 1
Installed apk first then in flash fire make you put Android Nougat SDK24 7.0 into the flash zip or ota section
MAKE SURE! you dont check auto-mount and mount/system read/then just hit the check on the top right corner
After let it do its magic and hit flash and ones it boots back up Xposed should be working

Well, I'm officially getting old I guess...
Was hoping to see if root cloak works and I see that hasn't been supported for a while. So, I went ahead and uninstalled using the uninstaller.zip arm64 for sdk 24, most recent version.
Anyone wondering;
Uninstalling, for me, went just as easy as installing.
Sounds like everything, for 7.0+ is still in beta/testing by rovo so do all this at your own risk.

I don't see the point in uninstalling because root clock doesn't work though, eitherway you can't use Knox or SafetyNet so might as well have Xposed.
Also there is another module called No Device Check which lets you use simpler apps like Snapchat, Mario Run, Pokemon GO etc... no Android Pay though.

Cool. Awesome dude ! This community is amazing ! I will install when a i get home ! and hey we should keep installing modules and then the OP should insert the ones that work into the main post. If you wanted to. Just a suggestion, because a lot of people will ask what works and what doesn't unless there is a list already. Thanks for the information. !

I got this to work. I installed the framework via Magisk, and then I used the Xposed APK installer found in the Magisk thread.

It installs fine through Magisk on the XL 2, just make sure you have the correct Xposed Installer version installed before you install Xposed through Magisk.

The one in this thread:

It's installed and says it's active, but also says it's not compatible with the architecture. I can enable modules, but none of the few I have right now I've really tested, so I'm not sure if they're actually working.

If you installed systemless xposed then you need the material xposed to be working if i am not wrong

Well, I'll get things started and say that "Lockscreen Mods" seems to kind of work; I'm just unable to set custom icons. Double tap to sleep on the lockscreen does work.
X Screen Stabilizer also appears to work just fine.

Does anyone know if the SnapTools Xposed module works? I haven't had a chance to even set my 2 XL up just yet otherwise I would have tested myself.
Let me know if anyone has tried it! :good:

The description for the Xposed Magisk module said to install topjohnwu's specific modified version of the material installer:
Please install my modified XposedInstaller(3.1.4) to properly detect Systemless Xposed. The APK is signed by my personal key, you might need to uninstall other versions before installing mine.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems that if you install Xposed before installing this APK, it won't detect Xposed properly, but installing the APK before installing Xposed seems to work.
This is only if you're installing through Magisk, as I haven't tried installing it conventionally through TWRP.

I was able to install by installing the xposed app then letting the app download and install the framework.

What steps did you take to get it working? I haven't used it before, so it could very well just be user error. I'd like to confirm if it does work.

Snap Tools works for me too

Where do I find snaptools? Its not showing up in the closed app when I search it

Does installing this on Oreo 8.1 Pixel 2s break the SafetyNet (Android pay, banking apps, and etc)?

List of Xposed Modules that actually works with Oreo

Hi Guys,
We should make a list of xposed modules which are really working with the xposed on oreo. As we know the new beta21 is out now.
Greenify

I have used these modules on Open beta 21 on Op3t

Minminguard works, but for Amplify is a bit strange. All menus are working, but very few alarms and wakelocks appear.

Flat style colored bars and flat style colored keyboard works. I use the former one cause it's awesome.

Ringtone and Notification volume Unlink works..

Greenify, Amplify and Gravitybox are the modules I'm currently using and they work for me.

Search for "[O]GravityBox" (without Quotes) it should appear as soon as you type "[O" it's still in the beta so maybe you also have to change your settings in Xposed to be able to install Beta Modules

Make sure edxposed see gravity box as a module .Some features work like statusbar , battery , music control with volume keys customization etc. Some features like navbar customization , DT2S etc do not work..

which xposed did you install? Mine fails and says incorrect version

Stock with mods [opinion]

Don't get me wrong there are some good ROMS around from time to time but there's also something to be said about stock rooted with mods. Sure it might take more time but you'll also get guaranteed updates until EOL. You can add or remove as much as you want. I appreciate those who still make ROMs for this device. Just wanted to share my two cents and what I'm using for anyone curious..
ROM: Stock
Root: Magisk
Recovery: TWRP
Magisk Modules:
App Systemizer
BusyBox
F-droid privileged ext
iOS 12.1 emojis
Mm recovery mode
RIRU core/exposed (sandhook)
System accent colors for p
Viper4android fx legacy materialized
YouTube vanced
Systemless hosts
Substratum
EdExposed apps:
Gravity box
Gravitybox mods:
Volume button media control
Screen off Torch power button
Network traffic indicators
.. much much more
And of course your favorite root apps:
Adaway (w/ Steven black list)
VPN hotspot (f-droid)
Afwall+
Substratum themes
ExKernel manager w/ latest kernel.
Anyways just trying to start a friendly conversation, feel free to share your setup!

That's a nice setup you got there. Mine is much more vanilla:
Q beta 5
Magisk stable
ElementalX kernel
AdAway
Battery Charge Limit
AOD enabled through Substratum
Tasker set up to turn off AOD when there are no notifications/media active
If I may ask, are you able to pass SafetyNet and use Google Pay with Xposed installed? Does the kernel-level patch override Xposed as well?
Thanks

I used to have this setup:
- ROM: stock Pie
- Root: latest Magisk
- Recovery: TWRP
- Kernel: Franco Kernel
Magisk modules:
- Busybox
- Systemless debloater
- LKT
- Quickswitch
- Viper4android
- AOD enabler
- Youtube Vanced
- Volume steps increaser
- Product Sans systemless font
Useful root apps:
- Adaway
- Titanium Backup
- Substratum + themes
- Tasker (listed here because of root tasks)
My phone was amazing. It's been like 3 years like this. Then I wanted to try something new, so as of now I've installed the EvolutionX 2.0 ROM, which is pixel experience based and has some of those features I listed above built-in.
So far so good, great performance and good battery life. Let's see how it goes. I might go back to Q when the stable build comes out, and I may keep stock again with those mods.
P.S. for @Flipz77: I also tried EdXposed before, and it doesn't break safetynet. Just realized that I don't really need it if using magisk modules + tasker, also performance are worse for me with EdXposed installed.

To my knowledge Google pay hasn't worked for anyone for a while since they started flagging modified boot loaders. Even just vanilla Magisk breaks it. So no, won't work for anything but stock iirc. Otherwise yeah still passes safety net for other checks.

I think the ultimate fix is running a custom kernel that includes the safetynet patch.
GPay has always been working for me ever since., both on ElementalX and Kirisakura
As long as I stayed on stock kernel, no amount of fiddling around with Magisk helped.
