[Q] Xposed Lollipop question - Xposed General

Hi,
I don't want to start an argument over when/whether/how Xposed will ever run on lollipop, I just have a hypothetical question. If you're gonna hate, please go hate in one if the other threads on the subject.
What I want to know is: IF Xposed is fully ported across to lollipop will the existing modules still work, or will the require rewriting/modifying.
Obviously any modules that require functionality specific to KitKat or other android versions will break, but what about more genetic modules?
Thanks in advance,
Sotolotl

i'm assuming the only person who can answer this is @rovo89..

I think it depends. Some single purpose mods may still work. But the multimods like wanan and gravity box will need a new one because they already have Android specific for Jellybean and kit kat versions. Just my guess.

Xposed API will be the same:

Xposed for Lollipop is finally here!

Here's the latest on when Xposed might be compatible with ART.

Sent from my XDABBEB VS98026A v2.2.0 without Xposed because ART is enabled using XDA free mobile app
this phone is awesome
This stuff is beyond my understanding however it might be a clue that Xposed is still a long way from working with ART.

Hopefully they get that. The one thing that makes me hesitant to be happy about getting an update.

In an effort to keep Xposed questions/issues out of ROM threads since Xposed and/or a module related issue one might have; is not the fault of the ROM you are using and therefore shouldn't be asked in those threads. The devs have better things to do than read thru non related ROM issues.
Xposed for L is currently in alpha 4 (the apk says alpha 2 for now on; look at the zip file date) and it will work on the G2 albeit with some help; and I don't mean being rooted since that's a given. Before installing Xposed we need to, re-name/freeze LGCover in the priv-app folder and LGWeather and LGWeatherService in the app folder. P_Toti explains the issue here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58879600#post58879600 and here https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/27
Spoiler alert; Looks like he has a RC G2/G3 TweaksBox working for us. Post #4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53618487
After LGCover, LGWeather, and LGWeatherService are re-named/frozen head to the Official Xposed read-only thread I know a lot don't like to read, but if you plan on using this, you should read the whole OP. There's also a discussion thread that is a mess unfortunately, however there is valuable info in it, especially post # 2.
If you are one of the many that don't read before flashing, you can disable LGCover, LGWeather, and LGWeatherService thru adb after you realized the device won't boot properly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59929667
I don't know what modules work and/or don't work. I only try them for testing purposes. You might be asking what modules work/don't work and don't know how to search. Well, I've found 3 threads to help you out. List of devices able to run Xposed on Lollipop , [Unofficial] List of working Modules for Xposed on Lollipop, and the one that helped me narrow down what should work, Xposed Lollipop compatible Modules
Since I don't/won't use Xposed, I am no help on how to use 99.9% of the modules, however there are many here that use them and can help. The XDA Community Apps has a link to the Xposed Framework Modules that can help you out with specific modules.

[Q] Any Updates On A SplitScreen Feature From Any Rom?

I've also heard there is a xposed module. Any updates on xposed either?

Xposed doesn't work with Lollipop yet, and may not for a while, if ever. Perhaps it will come someday, or perhaps something slightly different will come with similar functionality, but I am not very hopeful.
I am sure the feature will hit custom ROMs eventually. There were some versions of multi-window in custom ROMs in Kitkat and earlier OSes. I am sure that the devs are looking into porting them.

[Q] - Is there a kitkat ART version?

If xposed framework is working now on lollipop under ART, is there a way to use Xposed with kitkat runing ART runtime?
I also want to know
Currently no. Rovo said he MIGHT do this later when he finishes the L version.
A backport would be amazing. Wouldn't the larger user base aid in development?
LumenTeun said:
Are you sure that KitKat ART has a larger userbase than Lollipop? I hardly think so since KitKat defaults to Dalvik and you need to enable developer options to change to ART. Lollipop will eventually become the predominant Android version, so focusing on making it work is probably the best course of action right now, at least in my opinion.

You misread my post. The number of KitKat users is far greater than the number of lollipop users based on the Android distribution numbers as of March 5th. Most users with Xposed installed are fully aware of ART being available for KitKat but, like me, place Xposed above ART in terms of importance. Then there are users, like me, that chose to stay on KitKat because Xposed for ART didn't exist until recently.
Lollipop will become the most widely distributed version of Android, but not for a long while. 41% of the user base is on KitKat while 3% is on Lollipop. If you include builds as far back as Jelly Bean (4.1.x), the user base of 4.x users comprises 83% of all devices. Most of the 43% (4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3) are more likely to be upgraded to KitKat than Lollipop. Many of the phones set to be updated to Lollipop are still waiting the OTA while many others won't be receiving anything above 4.4.4. So yes, an ART-enabled Xposed Framework for KitKat will have a much larger user base than Lollipop for a long while.
I also want to know
Sorry, it's unlikely that Xposed will ever be backported to ART for KK. The industry has pretty much left it behind.
Does anyone know if rovo89 has given any news about ART on KitKat and Xposed? Latest answer what I have found is this: "Possibly, ART support could be backported to KitKat, but that’s of less priority." (February 2015)
Lollipop is already "stable" enough. So maybe he could do this while working for Marshmallow?

It's not happening. You can post your questions all you want, keep repeating yourselves. No one is going to waste their time with this.

I don't care. rovo, I want Xposed for Eclair, so that I can flash it on my Xperia X8!
The only way I see this happening is if you throw money at rovo to dedicate some time to backport it to KK ART.
100 or 200 dollars might be able to sway him. He's super busy now and I just don't see it happening.
Setup a gofundme or something and see what you can piece together.
Set up whatever, I will donate!

Need some help to flash xposed framework

Hi guys
I need some help to install xposed installer on my device i try all the possible methods to install but it doesn't work. I already flash the xposed-v86-sdk21-arm framework but when the phone boot the screen is frozen on samsung logo so i restore my data again, i feel the framework is not compatible with my device .
Steps done:
My device rooted with superSU
Teamwin recovery available
Installed xposed installer apk
Phone module: samsung A300f
Cpu: armeabi-v7a
Android 5.0.2
Hope you guys give me some tips to solve this problem and thank you.
READ the official post for xPosed, it's spelled out in big red letters that official doesn't work on Samsung touchwiz. You need a special modified version. You found the xPosed general board (it's where you posted this thread) it is easy from that spot to find what you need. Search lollipop samsung xPosed find the one of the two existing xPosed forks that works with 5.0.x
hey

thanks for replay, i tried today to flash deodex'ed rom but it doesn't work because it's to old and samsung released an update last time, so is there another method to install rovo official xposed ?
or is there any rom can work with rovo official xposed?
The only ROMs that will work with Rovo xPosed would be non-touchwiz based, such as CM (which can have its own issues with xPosed). But you really need to ask these questions of samsung users. There are a ton on deodexed ROM many are just stock touchwiz that have been deodexed. Part of having root and xPosed means not always having the latest OEM android version. I'm sure somebody in the correct thread (Arter or Wanam) can point you at the ROM they use.
thanks
thank u again Nergal I'm really appreciate your replays i already try out some rom's right now hopefully it's work
..
solved
hey guys xposed work right now
i install marshmallow "unofficial" and then the xposed framework flashed correctly
thanks

Most modules are not upgraded since year 2013 ? Is it safe to use same ?

https://www.xda-developers.com/best-xposed-modules/
Most modules are not upgraded since ages ?
Yet the thread is posted as latest 2018 best modules ?
Tried all and mobile wont boot now.. lol..
I have results of latest modules displayed on the post, but not yet upgraded since ages.
Except greenfly or few.. Though listed..
Are these modules still safe to use with latest technology ?
Thanks,
Request reply from advanced person and request to pin after my reply.
I still love XDA but a question.
Noone on XDA team to reply same ?
ITs weird.. ?
Made other replies in respective topics..
But that is xposed and still xposed ?
UHHH..
It really depends on what Android version are you using.
Sometimes even if the modules are really old they still works.
You can try install them one by one, so if you end up in a bootloop you know exactly what module caused it.
In case of bootloop if you're using Xposed systemless just uninstall xposed module from recovey (with uninmod or magisk mm) and delete the xposed apps once it boots with xposed disabled
If you're using system version of xposed, browse from twrp to the modules folder and delete the module by hand
Or just search on xda, there are threads where people post which module works on each version of Android

Safe?? In general, yes. Module specific - no different than the day module was born.
Stability is a completely different animal with numerous variables in play using "latest technology". Do your homework; seek community input on modules in question. Know how to recover from module failures and bootloops. Maybe consider a backup; I heard they're a good idea.
