Xposed - General info, versions & changelog

Note: This thread is here mostly for historical purposes. While Xposed is supported in various forms [EdXposed and LSPosed], developent on the Xposed primary app has completed. Xposed framework compatible modules are still in active development and supported by their respective developers..

Let me introduce the Xposed framework, which gives you the possibility to modify your ROM - without modifying any APK (developers) or flashing (users)!
For a quick start, have a look at XDA's "Android Basics 101" on Xposed:
Some technical details:
I extended the /system/bin/app_process executable to load a JAR file on startup. The classes of this file will sit in every process (including the one for system services) and can act with their powers. And even more: I have implemented something that allows developers to replace any method in any class (may it be in the framework, systemui or a custom app). This makes Xposed very powerful. You can change parameters for the method call, modify the return value or skip the call to the method completely - it's all up to you! Also replacing or adding resources is easy, thanks to many helpers in Xposed's API that developers can use.
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...
It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.
Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Many modules work for a wide range of ROMs from different vendors.
Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they modify the same app. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
It does its magic at runtime. That means that developers can implement settings and do changes based on them (instead of statically forcing a certain behavior). Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs, without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source and free (as in beer and in speech).
There is a repository with many popular modules.
Download:
You can download the installer from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk. The attached disabler zip is only needed if you are in a boot loop.
An experimental version for Gingerbread made by liudongmiao can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44034334#post44034334 (no support from my side though)
How to install:
First step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
I'm not responsible for anything you do with your phone/tablet/rice cooker.
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, see below for ways to recover from it.
Installation of the framework:
Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again and making sure that the numbers in the "Framework" section are green.
If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Use installation via recovery in such cases.
Installation of any modules:
Download <module>.apk (e.g. via the builtin repository browser) and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
(note that you can install the framework and enable/disable multiple modules at once and reboot afterwards)
In case you get into a boot loop:
First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
Modules:
The official repository for Xposed modules, which can also be access from within the app itself (with download/update support), can be found at http://repo.xposed.info
There is also a whole XDA subforum for modules and an index/request thread.
Please don't use the "Xposed General" forum for requests or problems with modules! Use the thread of the module instead.
How to write a module:
If you are an interested developer, give it a try. The development tutorial will help you get started. Further documentation (e.g. how to replace resources) is here. And of course, you can ask your development questions in the "Xposed General" forum.
If you have suggestions for new functions the framework could provide (which means they should be useful for more than your module), you can do this there as well. However, requests that I or somewhen else should write a module for xyz are NOT allowed. Again, this subforum is only about the framework.

Where to get help:
First, read the FAQ and search the "Xposed General" forum. If you don't find your answer there, please check this explanation to find out where you should post your question (e.g. module requests/questions don't belong into the "Xposed General" forum).
Thanks to:
Tungstwenty for his many contributions, both in code and thoughts
XDA admins, news writers and supporters for making Xposed known to so many people
All those volunteers who help answering questions about Xposed
The people who donated to get me a Nexus 5 for earlier KitKat support

2.4.1: Fixed bootloop on some x86 ROMs [2,537,642 downloads]

This is Xposed version 2.5 (final). The main new features and fixes in this version are:
Rewritten framework installation/uninstallation
Uses interactive su (via libsuperuser) to provide improved compatibility with different Superuser apps
Better feedback when root access fails (doesn't freeze the app anymore)
Offers installation via custom recovery (CWM/TWRP), either flashing the file automatically or manually
Safemode to disable Xposed with hardware keys to get out of (most) bootloops
Compatibility with Sony/LG ROMs (4.3 and 4.4), Meizu ROMs (4.4)
Debug setting to disable resource hooking as a temporary workaround for incompatibilities with some theming engines (not all modules can be used in this mode)
There are also other improvements and fixes, especially many translations updates.
In case you get a message "Segmentation fault" during installation, you can now download an additional app which provides statically compiled versions of BusyBox (a lot bigger, but should work with every ROM). It's not needed otherwise.
Quick explanation of the safemode: It was developed by @Tungstwenty and makes it possible to disable Xposed by repeatedly pressing one of the hardware buttons during early startup. The phone will vibrate twice when the first key press has been detected. Then you have five seconds to press the same button four more times. Each key press will be confirmed with a short vibration; the final one with a long vibration. It creates /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled, which prevents most of Xposed's actions (e.g. no hooks are made and no modules are loaded). There's no 100% guarantee that this will get you out of a bootloop, but in most cases it should.
As always, you can download it via the in-app updater or from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk.

This is Xposed version 2.5.1. The changes in this version are:
Added compatibility with CM11's new theming engine
Avoid conflict with LG G2's icon theming engine
Translation updates
I would like to express my disappointment again that too many people don't even spend two minutes to read at least the last few pages of a thread before posting problems. I have invested hundreds of hours - probably even more - into developing and supporting Xposed, so it feels disrespectful for me. Users like this are the minority and many others are very supportive, but it's really annoying.
As always, you can download it via the in-app updater or from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk.

This is Xposed version 2.6 beta1. The main changes in this version are:
UI refresh using the Cards UI pattern, mainly contributed by @GermainZ
New logo, created by @DD-Ripper
Detection of several known issues, a warning with link to the FAQ item will be shown
Release type selection in the downloader (only stable version are shown by default)
Many internal improvements in the framework, e.g. better resources compatibility and performance
In case you're looking for the Xposed-*-Recovery.zip files, they are stored in a subdirectory (Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files) of the SD card now. This is the official Android API and will hopefully fix installation on some ROMs.
Also a big "thank you" to the translators, many translations have already been updated. You can see the status on the brand new translation overview page, with completion status and templates containing the strings yet to be translated: http://translate.xposed.info/
Note that I have already informed the primary translators about the upcoming version.
The full change log is on GitHub:
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/commits/master
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/commits/master
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/commits/master
You can download the beta version from this post. Keep in mind that beta versions come with a bigger risk because they aren't tested on a big variety of devices/ROMs yet.

This is Xposed version 2.6 (final). The main changes in this version are:
UI refresh using the Cards UI pattern, mainly contributed by @GermainZ
New logo, created by @DD-Ripper (and no, there won't be an option to change it)
Detection of several known issues, a warning with link to the FAQ item will be shown
Release type selection in the downloader (only stable version are shown by default)
Many internal improvements in the framework, e.g. better resources compatibility and performance

I updated the main thread to indicate that the primary Xposed app is no longer in active development, and that EdXposed and LSPosed are the spiritual successors to Xposed and support the Xposed framework modules.

[GUIDE][MM & N] No GAPPs using MicroG - Universal

** This guide is depreciated, there is a new updated guide here**
If you are planning on using LineageOS 14 for this guide, you can bypass all of this except configuring location backends and battery optimization by heading to https://lineage.microg.org and downloading their ROM.
All download links as well as a link to a list of Open-Source applications to replace commonly used Play Store apps are in the third post.
*This will NOT work with MIUI Global, as the Play Store is already included in the ROM by default.*
I will be continuously updating this guide for everyone as I stumble upon more supported ROMs, more MicroG flashable zips, and other misc. edits. This is made with Android Marshmallow and Nougat in mind as it is all I have tested on, however this may work on older releases of Android with Xposed support or ROMs with Signature Spoofing. This has also only been personally tested on the XT1607 variant.
In order to sync calendars and contacts from your Google account, you must flash the Google Sync Addon by ale5000. If you want swipe gesture typing on the AOSP keyboard, you must flash Shadow53's swipelib.zip. Shadow53 also has a No-Gapps zip package that includes F-Droid, Firefox, and several other apps.
One final thing: This is not for everyone. There was a point in time I didn’t ever think I could go without the Play Store, but ever since I have I don't want to go back. There are numerous pros to switching to a Google-free android setup such as much better battery life, more privacy on your device, a world of open-source alternatives to popular applications, and more. If you have any questions, or if any of this seems daunting if you are newer to things of this nature, please do not hesitate to ask for help. I will try the best I can in my free time to help. Thank you for taking the time to read this, let’s go ahead and start.
*Disclaimer* Your warranty is now void if you modify your phone. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

*This first post is for ROMs without native Signature Spoofing support. A list of those with native spoofing can be found in the second post as well as the guide for ROMs that include native signature spoofing.*
What You'll Need:
1. Your Phone with at least 80% battery, preferably 100%.
2. A computer to transfer files to phone
3. You must have Root Access. This can be native root or Magisk root.
4. Your ROM of choice
5. Download the correct Xposed SDK and Xposed APK for your version of Android. The Xposed SDK version may differ for your device.
6. MicroG Unofficial Installer ZIP and Google Sync Addon (optional) by ale5000 or any of Shadow53's MicroG flashable files (download links in third post)
7. Your favorite backup method if you wish to back up such as Titanium Backup, MyBackup Root/Pro, etc.
8. Third Party App Store/APK downloader such as Yalp Store if not wishing to use all open source apps
9. A working Google account
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alrighty, let’s finally get into the steps.
1. Make sure you have downloaded the requirements.
2. If you wish, backup the data you want. This should not erase any files stored on an SD card, but I cannot guarantee.
3. Boot into a custom recovery, I am using TWRP
4. Use the standard wipe data options
5. Flash the files in the following order:
Your ROM of choice
MicroG Unofficial installer
Xposed SDK
Custom kernel if using one
6. Just to be safe and to avoid any potential complications, now reboot the device and set up the basics. Afterwards, boot back into recovery.
7. In recovery, wipe Dalvik/ART cache only (Not really required, I always recommend it though just to be safe)
8. Go into Settings —> Security —> Turn Unknown Sources on to allow for APK installs.
9. Install the Xposed Installer APK
10. Open Xposed, grant any permissions/root permissions if it asks for any. Go to download, and search for FakeGApps. Download and install. Next go into the Modules tab of Xposed, and check the box next to the module. Reboot to activate (A soft reboot may work, but I recommend a full reboot.) Installing this allows MicroG to bind to the system and spoof the required signatures.
11. Open MicroG in the app drawer, and allow all permissions it asks for. While in here, turn on Google Device Registration
12. After allowing all permissions, go into Settings. Go to Accounts —> Add Account —> Google Account. Sign into your Google Account. This is necessary to allow certain applications that require Google Play Services to work properly.
13. After signing in, head back into MicroG, go under Google Cloud Messaging and enable.
14. In MicroG settings, head to the UnifiedNLP settings. Under the Configure location backends section, open WiFi Location Service and select Mozilla Location Service and grant any permissions asked. Under Configure address lookup backends, select Nominatim.
15. Finally, in Settings, go to Location and change the mode to High accuracy.
16. Check MicroG's Self-Check to see if everything has been set up properly, and if so, you are good to go!

*This post is the steps for ROMs that natively support Signature Spoofing. There is a list at the bottom of this post of those that currently support it
What you will need:
Your Phone
The ROM that supports Signature Spoofing and the kernel of your choice
MicroG unofficial installer and (optional) Google Sync Addon by ale5000 or one of Shadow53's MicroG installers
Magisk Root Manager (Optional)
About 20-30 minutes of your time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Backup anything you want to have backed up. I recommend backup up your Contacts and Calendar events if you have those synced to Google
2. Boot into Recovery on your phone
3. Perform a standard wipe in TWRP
4. Flash the ROM
5. Flash the chosen microG zip file(s)
6. (Optional) Flash Magisk and your favorite kernel
7. (For crDroid Only)If you are flashing crDroid, you need to head over to Settings --> Miscellaneous and turn on the Signature Spoofing toggle
8. Go into Self-Check in microG, and tap the text that says "System grants signature spoofing permission", and allow microG that permission.
9. Still in MicroG, head back to the main part of the app. Open UnifiedNLP.
10. Select the pre-installed location backends.
11. Sign in to your Google account if you wish
12. You're done!

Moto G4 Play ROMs with Native Signature Spoofing
crDroid v3.8.1 - Android 7.1.2
ViperOS Coral - Android 7.1.2
TipsyOS - Android 7.1.2
AEX - Android 7.1.2
AICP (@ki's build) - Android 7.1.2
Glassrom Official - Android 7.1.2
MicroG Project has released an unofficial fork of LineageOS 14 that now includes signature spoofing and MicroG components. You will not need to follow anything in this guide except configuring location backends if you download their LineageOS build. There is no Play Store functionality added, although F-Droid (an open source app store) is included by default. You can add the Play Store with a zip that Shadow53 provided on their website (link in post below) More info can be found on their website

Flashable Packages and App Replacements
There are several different MicroG flashable zip files to choose from. ale5000 has one that includes MicroG, several location backends, and the Play Store. Shadow53 has MicroG and several other zip files such as an F-Droid package, the Swipe Libs for gesture typing on the AOSP keyboard, and several more.
Downloads:
MicroG Unofficial Installer - ale5000
Shadow53's Downloads for MicroG, F-Droid, and more
Now alternatives to apps you might commonly use such as Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc. can be a bit difficult to find at first. I stumbled upon a list that a user by the name of Datenschutz has compiled on GitHub that has a good collection of alternative open-source applications. Also, you can alternatively download APK files of certain apps such as Netflix, Messenger Lite, etc. if you don't find a suitable replacement.
Some open-source apps that are found on F-Droid I use daily are:
Flym - RSS Reader
QK SMS - SMS App
Twidere - Twitter Client
Toffeed - Facebook web-client
Newpipe - YouTube player
K9 Material - Mail app
ApkTrack - Checks for updates on APKs installed

Hi,
a Google account isn't required for Google Cloud Messaging (but it is required for many other things).
Also the official Play Store and contact / calendar sync apk work with microG (if needed).
I have created some tools to help setup microG (they are in my signature).

I'm using microG on Nougat and KitKat, and I can say that it works perfectly (but I patch the framework for signature spoofing instead of using Xposed).

Moto G4 Play (Harpia XT1607) specific so I guess I am not too far off topic: Is there a Nougat ROM available that has signature spoofing built it?
Given my bad experience with Xposed on my old Galaxy Nexus, I really only want to use a ROM with signature spoofing built it. If I have to compile it myself that would be okay but it would be nicer to have a ROM with built-in support. And since I don't think Xposed runs on Nougat yet, that is not an option anyway.
For my old Galaxy Nexus I've been using the Unlegacy project, compiling my own ROM with the signature patches built it. But although I've see "official" Nougat ROMs announced for the G4 Play (LineageOS, AOKP, AOSxP, etc.) either I can't find a link to the correct source code/manifest files or, as in the case of LineageOS I can't get it to compile (complains of missing component(s) even though I've used the provided scripts to pull what should be all the needed items from my phone).
I really want to get back to the non-Google experience I have on my Galaxy Nexus using microG. Thanks for any help!

I am currently looking into hopefully a method for Nougat, give me about a day to see if it works for me.

@fireball0093: If you compile from sources there the patches here instead to patch the compiled code there are the tools linked here.

@ale5000: What ROM are you compiling from source for a Harpia (I hope that will work on a xt1607 flavor)? Got a URI I can use for repo init?
Thanks!

@n76: I just given the link of the generic signature spoofing patch that should theoretically work on all ROMs, I haven't compiled any ROM.

Thanks, I have been able to successfully use that patch on my personal builds of the Unlegacy ROM (Marshmallow and Nougat) for my Galaxy Nexus.
I just haven't been able to successfully build a ROM, even without the patch, for my Moto G4 Play.

Hallo,
i found a list of Roms supporting signature spoofing in the MicroG Threat. CRdroid is availible for Harpia and it is listen in the ROMS-List. Have anybody testet crDroid 2.1 for Harpia with MircoG?

Nice find, thank you!
Looking at the crDroid source code repository at https://github.com/crdroidandroid it does look like the patch for signature faking is in there. (We should probably have the page at https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing updated to include crDroid).
But I am a bit leary about trying the ROM linked to at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/rom-crdroid-v1-6-t3525141 as, despite the title of the XDA thread, it does not seem to be an official build. It looks like the official builds for the project are at https://androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=23991606952610065 and are all built by "crdroidandroid" and there is no Moto G4 Play build there. The "[ROM][OFFICIAL][7.1.1] crDroid v2.1" links to a ROM built by SubhrajyotiSen on a different page so I am a bit hesitant to install it.
But this is interesting enough that I will try to build the ROM myself using the official sources from the crDroid project and see what happens.

it may be an inofficial Build, but it is mentioned on the G+ - Page of crDroid!
https://plus.google.com/communities...6/stream/d3e3f57f-b974-41f2-8740-97dbdd38056c

I went and installed crDroid here on the forums and also flashed the MicroG installer after flashing crDroid. I can confirm that signature spoofing is available and works. Under Settings, you just have to go to crDroid Settings, scroll down to Miscellaneous, and toggle Allow signature spoofing. Then go into the Self Check section in MicroG and tap "System grants signature spoofing permission" and allow MicroG to have that permission, and then the only thing you have to do to is configure the pre-installed location backends and you're good to go. I'll edit the second post and this thread to include this find, thank you @gueschmid
*Edit*
Actually, would people prefer me to edit this guide and leave it up as a Marshmallow-only guide and then create a second one for Nougat with our device? Just to keep it a bit clean

Thanks for trying this out. I think I will have the time to follow your lead next week. It will be good to excise GApps from this phone.
VoLTE is important for me, is it working on this crDroid build?

VoLTE is important for me, is it working on this crDroid build?

I don't have a carrier that uses VoLTE, but I took a look in the Changelog on some posts and it seems to have support for it on crDroid

Updated the guide to include crDroid in the second post. I have been messing around with Tingle in my spare time but I cannot fully grasp the concept as I don't have much experience using tools like that. If I do succeed in the future, I'll edit that in as well.

Multi User - Magisk Manager Works only on Main User

Hi All,
I have root working great on my main profile in android. I recently added a second user, and installed magisk manager. It says "rooted by no root permission, not allowed?"
How can I grant root to the second Magisk Manager and will it work to allow root on my second user account?
Thanks!

Anyone?

Currently Known Issues (v12.0):
Pixel / Pixel XL: WIP
Magisk Manager CANNOT be placed in adoptable storage, or superuser will not work
MagiskSU does not support multiuser: WIP
MagiskSU does not work on Android O preview: WIP

Upcoming Features
Here are some planned features (sorted in priority)
Magisk Manager resetprop GUI
MagiskSU multiuser support
Unified Magisk daemon: As stated before, I'm planning to write Magic Mount in code to achieve more efficiency and features.
All current Magisk features (magiskpolicy, magiskhide, resetprop, superuser, magic mount) will be in a unified daemon
Pixel (XL): Some developers has done some progress, I'll contact them and sort things out
Android O: I bought a Nexus 5X now, finally got some O love

Same problem, waiting for multiuser support

Whoops - thanks for pointing that out.

I have enabled multiple users on the main account, but in the secondary account the magisk manager just crashes

Same issue here, running Nougat 7.1 on lg g3. Crashes on every account except main profile.
Multiple users is selected in Magisk Manager.

There are recent code changes on github regarding multiuser fixes.
Patience for next version

Multiuser has been working properly with Magisk for some time...
I just confirmed by creating a secondary user and testing all three modes (not allowed, primary controlled, independent). No issues.
On Magisk v15.2, of course.

Oh, got it. I'm guessing there's a setting I have to enable. Thanks!

I run into the same Problem with Magisk v17. 2 and Ressourection Remix with Android 8.1
When choosing one of the Multiuser Modes absolutly nothing happens.
I installed the Magisk Manager on my second profile. The installation was succesfull but the app is not starting and I am not able to use root features in this profile.
Are there some options I need to set before? All I could find out until now is that the multiuser Option worked in v15. Usefull guides to know what prerequisites are needed to set up a second User with full root features would be great.
Thanks for any help

[DEPRECATED] [Module/Tool] [Universal] Magisk-Essentials-All-in-One

THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
INFO
* Purpose="Simplify system initial setup by installing essential mods and apps all at once, automagically."
* This package will install Magisk, a couple of modules and apps.
* Guaranteed support for any ARM and ARM64 ROM that works with Magisk.
* This is meant to be installed through recovery ONLY.
* If you're including the "aio-apps.zip" addon, boot your freshly installed OS once before flashing to initialize userdata. Otherwise, flashed user apps will crash.
* If you don't want a specific module to be installed, simply remove it from the zip. No further modification necessary.
* As always, do it at your own risk.
ROOT
* Magisk (includes Magisk Manager APK)
MODULES
* Audio Modification Library
* DozeGMS+
* F-Droid Privileged Extension
* Magisk-Essentials-AiO Updater
* Magisk FolderMount
* Miracast & Tethering Enabler
* Unified Hosts AdBlocker
* Universal Deep Buffer Remover
* ViPER4Android FX (Includes APK)
ADDONS/EXTRAS (place these in the root of your sdcard or external_sd)
Example:
Code:
/sdcard/addon-name.zip
Note: The installer only looks for the following files: aio-apps.zip, aio-systemizer.zip and aio-gapps.zip.
* If you want to systemize files/apps, include those in aio-systemizer.zip.
Examples:
Code:
aio-systemizer.zip/system/[b]priv-app/Greenify/Greenify.apk[/b]
Code:
aio-systemizer.zip/system/[b]etc/hosts[/b]
* You can also customize your user apps in aio-apps.zip or aio-apps-template.zip. The only difference between the two is that the first has a curated number of apps included, while the template file has none (good for those who like to start from scratch or save bandwidth).
Example:
Code:
aio-apps.zip/data/app/[b]YourApp.apk[/b]
No specific APK name needed. Also, unlike system apps, notice that these must not be in a dedicated folder. Look at the examples again!
* One more -- you can include a aio-gapps.zip file. Any GApps variant will work. Yay!
* Apps included in "aio-apps.zip" (recall that the template is essentially the same file, just without the apps):
APK Mirror, CF.Lumen, DriveDroid, F-Droid, Google Wallpapers, LastPass, MicroG for OGYoutube, Naptime: Super Doze Mode, OGYoutube, Simple Reboot, Termux, Titanium Backup, Universal Mass Storage Enabler, USB Charging Disabler, WiFi ADB, X-plore File Manager, XDA Labs
* Apps included in "aio-apps-basic.zip:" LastPass, Termux, Titanium Backup, X-plore File Manager
* RECALL THAT ADDON NAMES MUST BE THE ONES PROVIDED ONLY. So, if you download aio-apps-template.zip, remame it to aio-apps.zip, PicoGApps.zip to aio-gapps.zip, etc.. Glad you got the point.
* Note: the systemizer addon also includes a number of pre-debloated apps (you'll see lots of folders in aio-systemizer.zip/system/app & aio-systemizer.zip/system/priv-app. Those are the debloated apps. Delete folders of apps you want not to be debloated.
* Pro tip: each addon is also a standalone installer.

This is pretty nice I like your setup

Sweet.

pretty cool!

so i seen where one of your challenges is getting gapps addon to work for arm64 devices, will the 5/26 zip work on arm64?

ARM apps work on ARM64 systems, but they are not as optimized for this architecture as native 64bit apps.
In the next version, I will make GApps module optional, so that ARM64 support ceases to be a concern. Also because some users may prefer different GApps setups.

Any way to place apps in /system/app or/ priv-app? I know there's a couple modules for this already, but it could be done here?
I think your modules are fantastic!

Yes, I can easily implement that or you could do it yourself by making some simple changes (I can guide you).
... But which apps exactly do you want to have in system/app or system/priv-app?
It's advised not to put apps in priv-app if they don't have any special features that require high privileges. A few apps that require that are F-droid Privileged Extension (already included) and Greenify, for example.
Anyway, I changed a component for you to easily achieve what you want. Find inside the zip, the file "magisk/aio.zip" and replace it by this modified aio.zip.
Inside the new aio.zip, you'll find "system/app" and "system/app-priv" folders. Just place your apps there, delete the "PLACEHOLDER" files, zip back everything and you're done.
Note: each app has to be placed in its own folder and then inside one of the folders above, depending on what you want to achieve. For example, "app1.apk" goes to "app1" folder, which goes to either "system/app" or "system/priv-app" folder.
In the next version, I will include a specific module to simplify what you asked for.

Yes. Greenify is one. Action Launcher is another. CF Lumen also seems to run better as a system app. Looking forward to trying this out! Thanks!

And I just put together a new version. I will only post it tomorrow though. Guess who's gonna try it first!
The new module I talked about is codenamed "Magisk-Essentials-AiO SystemiZer Addon" or "aio-systemizer" for short. It's path is Magisk-Essentials-AiO-v2017.5.30.zip/magisk/aio-systemizer.zip.
As as said before, just place your system apps there and delete the "PLACEHOLDER" files.
The aio module that I modified for you earlier is the updater of the entire pack through Magisk Manager app (waiting for repository approval).
Thanks for the systemizer suggestion.
That's it for this version changelog.
Instead of downloading the entire package, you can simply install the attached components.

Hi,
what about flashing your module on a NOT freshly installed ROM? I mean, I already have MAGISK and a few modules and many apps installed... some of them included in your package, some not... and actually I do not want to start everything from scratch...
Working through recovery I believe that existing apps/modules will be overwritten... but in the end it should be ok...
I'll make a nandroid backup first...

You can do that. However, some of the apps might conflict with pre existing packages, because the names are different. The apps will be installed in a different way. So you may end up with duplicate packages. That's not a big deal though. You can easily remove the apps you already have either before installing the pack or afterwards. You'll find all of them in ZipFile/data/app or Device/data/app as *.apk. Unlike other apps, those won't be inside any other folder besides data/app, unless you update/reinstall them. So, they are easy to find and delete.
Edit: @leonardus_magnus, the next version will be even more modular to simplify your case scenario and others'. Apps will be in a separate, optional zip that you can put in your sdcard if you want them installed. In addition, it will be a very simple zip. Inside, you'll find the folder [data] with the [app/*.apk] structure inside, so,
Code:
data/app/"your APK files"
. That zip will also be a standalone installer itself for cases in which you want to install only the apps. Finally, the SystemiZer module will also be built with the same principles. You'll be able to add your apps to
Code:
ZipFile/system/"app or priv-app"/"your app folder"/"your app"
i.e.
Code:
ZipFile/system/priv-app/Greenify/Greenify.apk"
.

This is great! All my apps are systemized immediately instead of having to go into an app/terminal to select all of the apps I want. Thanks!

I don't see your aio-gapps.zip, where to download it? Or do I missed something?
Thank you.

You can use any GApps package. Just rename it to aio-gapps.zip.
I see that you found MagicGApps. It's the one I use.

I am a bit confused can you help me. How to install this. I am noob.

You should be very careful installing this as it has the potential to break very many functions, like:
* fitness tracking
* location
* backups
to name a few that are important to most people
i know it seems like hosing all these background services etc is a good idea, and people have been trying this since the dawn of time, but theres countless posts on here from what happens when theyve tried this approach, and it hasnt ended as expected
ideally, you should make these possible issues known before people install it
its not easy making a module that suits everyone, but thats what you should be aiming for, and these kinds of tweaks are usually the opposite of universal and end up being what is suitable for the individual who makes them - i have my own tweaks module, but i'd never release it as it works for my personal use case. its very difficult to create something that works for everyone
you should also remove the __MACOSX folder from the zip file, you can also remove:
module.prop
post-fs-data.sh
if you like

Location works.. Fitness and backup doesn't, as I don't use them.
I'll take your points as a feedback.. Thank you for a great insight.

how do I use it? is there an app or do I just install those modules and then go into apps and services and disable them? is there a guide which one I can and should disable?
thanks for this module.

Use the GitHub link mentioned in the OP and install it as a usual Magisk Module

Will it hamper receiving messages (Whatsapp, TG, email) in background?

I always recommend install TWRP recovery if you're rooted. Post which you should be able to take nandroid backup and then use any system mods (safety first - always follow standard process).
