[DISCUSSION] Xposed for Android 5.1

You can use this thread for discussions. Please check the read-only thread for the download links and updates.

You've done the impossible! Thanks so much for all the work and sharing it!

Tried it on Euphoria 1.1 Beta 5.1, Bacon.
Glad to report it works, thank you sooo much :good:
Oneplus One.

Working well on the N6!
Proceed with caution guys! Already in bootloop city (totally prepared and exiting it now, expected as much) Just letting everyone know for those of you who are excited about this - this is NOT Xposed like you are used to, not yet as modules have not had any possible chance to catch up. If you are not ready for serious bootloops, stay away from this for now lol

How is it working well and causing bootloops? That seems to be a bit contradictory.

Framework isn't causing bootloops. but many modules it seems do as obviously none have updated to 5.1 given the nature of this release being super alpha as well as unofficial. The framework itself, the part romracer hs given us here, appears to be running well - just wanted to warn users who have been waiting (im)patiently on Xposed for 5.1 that you can't just jump back into modules.. bootloops on bootloops here experimenting

I would specify but I've been bootlooping since this was released messing with File Manager in TWRP and then when I could get into boot looking at Xposed logs for fatal errors.. all I could see between bootloops is that Youtube AdAway causes fatal errors (not the one giving me bootloops though - I was able to uninistall before the bootlooping got to where I couldn't ever boot and had to restore). Also, I can confirm Always Correct! causes keyboard to FC non-stop and renders it unusable. I am not sure which module caused Play Store not to open and which caused bootloops, probably multiple. I thought I'd be able to spend more time booted and so I loaded a few modules after I took a backup and decided to mess with the Xposed logs and TWRP file manager like I mentioned, but bootloops were more than I anticipated so I just restored a backup and installed Framework for now.
Edit:Apparently 4/4 Banks gapps I updated with this cause Play Store FCs. My luck I'd upate extremely stable gapps, update SuperSU, backup, flash a super alpha and have issues with the gapps. Let's try this again...

Now it is time to test and embrace the bootloops!

Anyone found any modules working thus far, or will EVERYTHING need updaed to 5.1? I tried a module that still worked from KitKat when Xposed upgraded to Lollipop without upgrading bu it doesn't work now.. not sure what to make of that. Nothing else I've tried works either, but that not working (Always Correct!) seemed notable to me for that reason. Curious if anyone else is having any luck - no issues with framework I can see and logs appear to be running normally FWIW.

App settings; Lolistat; Youtube Adaway
work very well. I did not find others work yet.

When you flash the framework do the modules auto enable? I got a bootloop but I don't think its from the framework

greenify doesn't work. Always takes a bit of time to work after an xposed release.

Nexus 5 with Cataclysm ROM and ElementalX kernel. SELinux is permissive. Getting bootloop. Modules enabled were Gravitybox, BootManager and MaxLock.

Has YouTube AdAway been updated already somehow? It was the app giving me fatal errors in my logs earlier when I was getting bootloops and FCs. On Nexus 6 here, Benzo ROM Hydra Kernel

Great news.

@romracer
Thank you for Xposed for 5.1
Tested modules:
GravityBox LP - bootloop (bootloop solution, delete com.ceco.gravitybox folder from /data/app/ via TWRP)
Play Store Changelog - Play Store 5.4.10 FC's (delete app data does not help as on Android 5.0.2)
Xposed GEL Settings - bootloop (bootloop solution, delete de.theknut.xposedgelsettings folder from /data/app/ via TWRP)
BurnToast - OK
CrappaLinks - OK
Lolistat - OK

Does anyone know if Amplify module works? I won't be able to install the 5.1 xposed version, but I shall soon
btw @romracer, I believe you mentioned in the xposed github that you have a Moto X 2014. I do too, so I can presume that xposed will work on the device?

I had disabled all modules from the the Xposed Installer before flashing, yet for some reason when I flashed I got stuck in a bootloop caused by trying to load some long ago enabled modules.
I forgot to make a copy of the logs, so what I wanted to say is that you can delete/rename /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list to get out of bootloops caused by modules.
Obviously, this won't help if the framework itself isn't compatible with your ROM/device.

Working:
- Lolistat
- OGXposed (To login with OGYouTube)
- Advanced Power Menu
- YouTube Adaway
- Crappalinks
- Burntoast
- Maxlock
- MinMinGuard
Not working:
- Xposed Gel Settings
- GravityBox
- Amplify
- AcDisplay
All i know for now.

Android N (SDK 24) Support

Has anyone attempted to flash the SDK 23 version of xposed on top of the Android N Preview?

If you are brave enough: backup your current device and give it a try.
EDIT: in my opinion it is rather meaningless to ask for Android N support yet, as there are at least seven month until a "final" release will hit the market. If the current Xposed version doesn't work, there will be no need to create some workarounds, as the current version is more or less a preview of a preview and there are lots of code-base changes to be expected. I guess it will take some more month until a valid support will be established.

I'm brave enough. Also foolish, because the only superuser I have been able to achieve won't let me r/w to system, so I can't install modules. And even if I could, odds are that all but the simplest modules would fail.
Regardless, it didn't boot.

The new android has many Gravitybox stuff, so I can live without Xposed I think...

so?

Tried last night.
The XPosed SDK23 checks for proper API Level upon installation - and refuses to install if you're different.
TL;DR: If you're not on MM, the MM installer won't work.

I modified the zip script
and removed the api check. The resulting system dies at dex (compiling apps, including systemui). However there are websites claiming the Universal Systemless Xposed Installer will work on Nougat if you first flash Magisk and use the Material Design Xposed Installer (not to be confused with Materialized module) and phh's Superuser apps in place of Official Xposed Installer and SuperSU! I am about to give it a try on a Nexus 6!

Guys... That would never work. If it did, what's the point of SDK versions?
Just like when Marshmallow was released, SDK22 would NOT work whatsoever on 6.0. same if you go back another version using the previous version of Xposed.
Don't try to install it, as it just bricks. That's why the API checker is there.

Sadly those websites are bogus clickbait to generate ad views. (Apparently) I can confirm that flashing Magisk on Android N causes the bootstrap to fail without even flashing Xposed yet. I even tried playing with the install flags. Sorry everyone I'll continue to investigate other solutions.
To those who said it is stupid and pointless to try what I did: Tinkering and breaking the rules of common sense are how many advancements have been discovered. Your posts are negative and unconstructive, nearly a violation of XDA rules. Please try not to be so abusive for the sake of the community.

But honestly, you're just bricking your device by flashing the wrong SDK version. If you want to begin porting it instead of messing with the install script to the Xposed for the wrong version of Android, maybe contact RomRacer. He ported Xposed to 5.0/5.1 before Rovo released an official version, so he can help you out maybe, but you need permission from Rovo to release a working version.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, Android Nougat will be the only Android version that will not support Xposed. This is due to the fact that Nougat is a delicious, but creamy thing, that glues together all command lines when melted.
*sarcasm turned off
There will be support for Android Nougat, be patient like everyone else. If any news arise, rovo89 will make an official statement.

We are a good 6-8 months away from an Official stable release, N is still in the early beta stages. He will work on getting it working when he feels that Google is done changing code around.

Only if you have Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X,*Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and Google Pixel C. So he'll be able to start working to see if he can even make it work. He he stated he was waiting for it to be finished before he starts. It took several months for him to get it working with Lollipop.
The 6-9 months was my estimates on the non Nexus devices

[UNOFFICIAL][2016-Nov-02]Xposed build that passes SafetyNet while enabled and active

UPDATE: Not even 24 hours and it fails SafetyNet now. I'm currently working on another solution.
Hi all. Long time lurker, first time developer. I created a modified version of the Xposed Framework that doesn't cause you to fail SafetyNet, even while it's enabled and active. Instructions:
Remove any existing Xposed versions
Get your phone in a state where it passes SafetyNet without Xposed (install a custom kernel to hide an unlocked bootloader, hide root with RootSwitch, etc.)
Install the Xposed Installer app if you don't already have it
Go to https://github.com/josephcsible/Xposed/releases/tag/v86a and download xposed-v86a-safetynet-josephcsible-sdk23-arm.zip
Flash xposed-v86a-safetynet-josephcsible-sdk23-arm.zip from recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik
Reboot
You should now have Xposed installed and enabled, with all of your modules working, without failing SafetyNet. Notes:
Do not turn off Xposed with RootSwitch with this build. It will probably break things because of differences in how app_process sits, and the entire point of this build is that you don't need to do this.
The only build I made was for ARM and Marshmallow, because that's all I have to test on
The official uninstaller won't work right with this version, so use my version of the uninstaller instead
This passes SafetyNet as of November 2nd. It probably won't for very long.
Technical details:
I made this build by compiling my own app_process, then editing it into the stock installer zip. I didn't recompile anything else or use the tools to make the zip.
app_process32 is now a regular file instead of a symlink to app_process32_xposed.
XposedBridge.jar is now called YqptfeBridge.jar (since SafetyNet checks the classpath for a file called XposedBridge.jar)
I obfuscated many of the strings in the app_process binary with a simple Caesar cipher. The source for this is in the GitHub with the download link.
Enjoy it while it lasts!

Great work, thanks! Though I think the method is kind of dirty.

Yeah, but I'm not overly concerned since I expect at best a few weeks before it gets patched and I have to redo it all anyway.

I tried stubbing out the main method in XposedBridge to just call the real main method, and that made it pass. That leads me to conclude that it's a behavior thing and not a name thing.

So this version of xposed is passing?

[Pool] Is Magisk working for you ?

Hello everyone !
I will develop a new app like Magisk but very easy to install and manage.
Opened this thread because i am tired of bootloops and rom installs i had and also i am curious how many people are happy with Magisk.
Feek free to post your thoughts here.
I also need a name for this app so please suggesting one will be a good thing.

reserved

reserved 2

Magisk is a pretty amazing app. One stop shopping for many of my Superuser needs. I use it for audio mods anti G-spy stuff and much more. Magisk works great for me but I love having options. Good luck, interested to see were you go with this.
Regards
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Labs

Hmm... Interesting. Magisk is beast honestly. I was a tried and true SuperSU user and nothing else for years and it took me awhile to make the complete switch to magisk but it's amazing. Not onyl is root reliable, I always pass safety net, and there are tons and tons of modules for magisk which makes it that much better. Development is booming for Magisk and the modules.

1. Are two reserved posts necessary?
2. Magisk is pretty easy to install and manage already. Especially with the number of supported devices.
I'm all for options/competition but why not contribute to Magisk?

I've never had any of these scenarios happen. When I dirty flash ROM with Magisk already installed, I flash over top and everything is same as before dirty flash. If I uninstall, then reinstall, obviously it's a clean setup. I've never had bootloop 9nce I don't think. Your most likely not dirty flashing, thus it is compressing imag over image essentially when trying to uodate. Mgisk says restore stock boot I'm going before updating, which is what dirty flash does. If you would either dirty flash or just flash stock boot image before doing any of the things you've attempted you most likely won't bootloop

Yes. I have encountered alot of situation -bootloop and softbricks- where the culprit is magisk. I eventually thought not to use it but I'm obliged to use it for its quite awesome module mechanism. Thefore, every possiblity that involves magisk with no bootloop is appreciated.

Magisk 16 and Samsung Galaxy S5=Safety Net failed
All is ok only on Magisk stable 15.3

Not really ("halted") and possible but unlikely ("android p"). I appreciate the hubris but think such positive energy would be better invested in collaboration with the Magisk team/community which brings considerable expertise and experience to the table.

Doesn't Cydia Substrate require root? So people would need Magisk anyway? And hasn't Cydia been dead for a long time?
No offense but you seem to like to get people hyped with nothing to show for it so there's going to be some scepticism.

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

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.
