Xposed on Stock 4.1.2?

Does anyone here use the Xposed Framework on stock 4.1.2? I'm currently running CM11 nightlies but I thought I might revert back to stock if Xposed provides enough functionality. I just found out about Xposed otherwise I would have tried it already. If you do you use Xposed, how is the performance? Would you say it's better to use Xposed on stock or a different ROM? Thanks.

Its great. See my ...Telstra jb... in the dev sec for tips ( @ the end , after the clone rom flash.

GO Xposed!!! - you may never go back to "custom" - Actually, I am a bit of a "crack-flasher", but I always return to "Stock/Xposed" when I want something stable. My favorite Xposed module "Gravity Box" has most everything the custom ROMs have (status bar colors, navigation size, reboot menu, cursor keys, etc.) Add in a "quick settings" app and you can make 4.1.2 "look" about like Kit Kat. Does it hurt performance... Maybe, but I've found stock to usually run faster anyways.
(P.S. - I probably wouldn't have unlocked either if I would have found Xposed sooner)

Pics of narrow bar & too skinny-it will not click.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot this weekend.

Slim Navbar for KitKat, with recent apps?

Hi,
I'm searching for a mod that I use on 4.2 for KitKat. I have a thin navbar with a recent button (the recent app-button is from G2 Xposed) and the thin navbar is a modified file I changed (because the G2 Xposed navbar height didn't work well, left a gap on stock launcher).
Do anyone know if there is something like this working for Kitkat?
Thank you!

Is the first app confirmed working with KitKat? I would rather just replace a system file, but I'm not confident enough to edit the code myself.
Rather than using an app for it, which seems unnecessary for the small change i need.

Yes It works i've tested it myself
BTW used xposed module (Bundled inside UDN Refer post #2 ) to spoof the navbar.

What Xposed module? Everything I"m trying on the Verizon KitKat OTA isn't allowing me to add a Recents key (replace menu key with Recents).
Ultimate Dyanmic Navbar Lite adds the recents key ... but i don't like the way it auto-hides / covers things on screen.

[Q] closest rom to pac-rom with stylus support

Can't you flash the Note 3 Mod pack and get all the features that way?? Never used Pac-Man Rom, sorry if that doesn't work.

That won't work no :c, it's depending on the Touchwiz framework :c

Oh I see, can't you put the touchwiz framework files into the ROM then try that way?? Or would the mess up the ROM?

If it was that easy, we would've had CyanoWiz by now ;D !! (so that's a definitive no no)

Well here's a tip
Go take a look at Xposed Framework. (1st hit on google leads to the topic i guess )
With this you can customize any stock rom to it's fullest extent.
Only pre-requisites are Root.
Go install a rom with Note 3 features, remove all the stuff you don't want, install the stuff you want (launchers etc).
Install Xposed Framework !
Install Wanam Xposed (from store or xposed installer) (( 4.3+ roms))
Modules i'm using:
- Advanced Reboot Menu
- All Notifications Expanded
- App Settings (set DPI per app)
- Chrome New Tab (opens up a new tab in chrome, instead of always losing the page you were on) ((when pressing a link outside chrome browser))
- Greenify ("freeze" apps, so they won't use any battery life)
- SwipeBack (just check it out)
- XuiMod (allows you to change pretty much every animation ((apps opening/closing, go to other "page" in an app, toasts etc etc)
There are lots more.

Thanks for this, still love the pac-rom but as stated it does not use the hardware. I will take a look at the Xposed framework although I am a little scared of killing my phone!
If i understand your reply the stock rom is the base then add or remove Xposed on top and play around from here,
@Neal

Exactly that, you can use Xposed to modify any Rom basically :silly:

Is there a way to change 3G/H/4G to stock Android

I don't like this big text Motorola uses, is it possible to change how they look to how stock android is? I couldn't find anything on xposed modules

You tried Gravitybox? It's been a while since I used xposed.
I know theming works and replaces those (you do mean in the status bar right?) Try flashing a ROM with Layers like cyanogenmod. Different themes will use different icons.

Yeah i fixed it by using a xposed module for moto devices

Xposed - Fingerprint and performance issue

I was rooted, had xposed installed and realized that the fingerprint scanner is much slower and not as responsive as when i am on stock B27 or just stock and rooted.
Stock = less than a second to unlock
Stock + root = less than a second to unlock
Stock + root + xposed (without modules yet) = more than a second to unlock and device performance seems to take a hit. UI lags very often.
I have tried this on a clean setup as well same issue. anyone else with xposed having similar or better experience?

I had the same issue on b20, but couldn't figure out what was causing it. Do you have gravitybox? Maybe some part of it is affecting how quickly the phone wakes up?

Sorry, wasn't fully awake when I read your post. I'll try installing Xposed and see if there's a noticeable delay.

I had modules before (xprivacy, xposed additions and Audio Stream Music Default). But on the clean install I had just xposed and still the same issue.
Looks to me that there might be some interfering between Mifavor UI and xposed.
They should really consider going stock when they release Nougat. Less hassle for them to maintain and easier for us to deal with.

Just wanted to update this. I install Rovo's newest framework (3.1) and slow fingerprint issues are gone! Not sure what changed, but even with gravitybox, the scanner is lightning fast.

Sorry this is off topic, but what kind of tweaks do you guys use Gravity Box for in regards to this phone?

Thanks for the reply guys!
I think I might have figured the root cause of the issue. I installed my modules one by one and realized that uninstalling xprivacy module fixed the issue. It's unfortunate since it was one of my favourite modules
my modules for whoever is interested:
-Audio Stream Music Default - pressing volume keys anytime changes media volume instead of ringtone volume
-xposed additions - cutomize volume keys with multiple taps, long presses for multiple use on lockscreen, screen on/off (i use it for long press volume up or down to switch tracks)
-xprivacy - to control what permissions apps use (but doesnt seem to work with MiFavor so i disabled it)

I had this problem while I was on b20, it went back to normal after I went and updated to b27 via @DrakenFX 's method.. When I came back up with b27, root, xposed, bl unlock, haven't had the slow fingerprint problem If it helps anyone else..

Other modules are ok.
How did you install it?

Currently it's not activated.
But 2 days ago, when I installed it firstly, after reboot I couldn't use the phone: it couldn't even get to the pin screen. It was continously doing a screen on and off.
I had to uninstall gravitybox via adb from my pc.
But it has to work (it says you have to activate it) even if it's not activated. At least, on my other device (Moto x style) it does.
