Hey guys,
A weird question yes, but I have no clue, been sat on 4.4.2 for the past 7 months now, feel like it is time to get lollipop, but I don't want to for one reason and that is that xposed apps (from what I have read) don't all work and I use a few of them. Is there a way to get xposed working correctly? (I haven't been around here in a while)
If this is the wrong forum, then can an Admin move it to the correct one please.
Thanks for all help

If you asked this question some 3 weeks earlier, the advice would have been "don't update", but:
1. rovo89 managed to bring his Xposed framework to AOSP Lollipop up to 5.0, there are unofficial variants that are adapted to work with 5.1+, as well.
2. On the TouchWiz side, Samsung made a s***load of changes in the ART runtime, and only recently two devs (arter97 and darkera13) managed to bring Xposed to TouchWiz Lollipop, using two different methods, but both have the necessity that a deodexed ROM is used.
3. Mind you, TW Lollipop is one ugly-a** motherf***er. Literally ugly as hell, even if it is the fastest TouchWiz to date.
So, if you feel like experimenting, give the development forum a look, but keep in mind: better flash through Odin a stock Lollipop in order to upgrade your bootloader and modem (without that, upon flashing a 5.0 TouchWiz ROM you'll get a bootloop; before Samsung updated us to Lollipop, we had a couple of experimental AOSP ROMs which worked flawlessly with the old bootloader and modem).
Also, if you plan to use Xposed with Lollipop, carefully read the threads of the Xposed apps you intend to use, some might not be updated yet to work with Lollipop.
That's my two cents.

Thanks for the reply, I finally got it now, AryaMod's version, seems nice for now, yeah it doesn't look the best but I am liking the speed a lot. Going to finish installing apps, backup then try and get xposed working. Any apps that are good for lollipop that make it different at all or?

When Wanam gets his module and all it's functionality updated properly, you'll be able to theme any TW ROM you flash properly and mod it like hell, but he barely begun work on it due to the fact that only recently Xposed was brought to TW Lollipop (Wanam is TW module exclusively).
My own setup is Project Artware by arter97 (you can google it and find it easily, but he still hasn't shown that project here on XDA) + his kernel, then only the GravityBox module to tweak the behavior of the volume rocker and the capacitive buttons to behave like the Note 4 (left capacitive button for recent apps instead of holding down the home button, I've always hated the stock implementation for the Note 3 ).
If you like that setup, with AryaMod you probably won't need GravityBox.
My girlfriend has been begging me to update her Verizon S5 for months, so I've finally started reading my options, and I'm lost. Right now her S5 is just stock rooted, still running 4.4.4. I was going to install Resurrection Remix N KLTE but I just realized it requires an unlocked bootloader, which I've determined isn't possible on her phone. I was hoping to find a ROM based on Nougat that she would like but besides Resurrection Remix I didn't notice one. Really all she cares about is being able to theme her phone like she has now using the Wanam module for Xposed. I'm thinking of just getting her to stock MM and installing Xposed but the post I read mentioned boot loops on Samsung devices, and that there were unofficial builds that fix that, but didn't link to any. I'm also not sure how to either keep root or to reroot once on MM. It's been over two years since I rooted her phone, and I recall having issues. Anyone have any advice? Links? a spare S5 with an unlocked bootloader? Ok the last one isn't necessary but the first two would be appreciated.
the only thing that i'm really surprised that your girlfriend
i mean you cant find a girl who knows in android very much everyday XDDD
anyway sammobile is the first place
I'm currently running RR 7.1.2 (Nougat) which failed when trying to install Xposed Framework and I really want to give Xposed a full-fledged go so I'm wondering what marshmallow rom is the most compatible with Xposed with my xt1607 g4. Any help is greatly appreciated. I did some digging and I'm leaning towards CM13, which I understand is no longer supported, but please express your opinions. Thanks!

Stock - works great with Xposed. Why mess around with a custom ROM if going w/Xposed which gives you complete control over everything except (arguably) theming.

I first rooted and flashed this phone months ago and have lost the stock rom since (rookie mistake, I know). Is it possible to find it online/is there a repository somewhere? I tried the cyanogenmod 13 and xposed which seemed to work flawlessly until I realized I couldn't make or receive phone calls. Just now got it all figured out and it was most definitely a doozy haha. Still not 100% on what went wrong but ya.
Edit: Just found a debloated/odexed version here on XDA. About to flash it and jump back into this nonsense that I enjoy so much hahaah. Thanks for the suggestion I'm excited to see where Xposed goes on a bare bones rom!
i am using S8+ G955FD, i am on android 7.0, fed up with slow UI and bloatwares so i decided to root, i did it with magisk, magisk v16.0 is installed and phone is rooted very well, but now i want to install xposed frameworks as well, but it always goes to bootloop when i flash xposed, i am on stock rom, is this issue, if yes then which custom rom will be best for this phone to use with magisk and xposed working well ?
hoping to get quick response....

I like Havoc but installing the Ruri core / EdXposed gives me a black screen after reboot. As far as I know there is no official Xposed for Pie, if I can't get it to work on Pie I'll have to downgrade to Oreo instead... Please guide me on this!
Bump! Please help

I don't care about themes. I want to use Xposed Edge, and Exi for SwiftKey. Although there's no official Xposed after Oreo, there are unofficial ones like Ruri and Tai Chi.
