[Tutorial] Xposed Alpha on XT1053 Lollipop 5.1 - Moto X General

I guess someone had to be the guinea pig to see if it works or not, and honestly it was quite a lengthy exploratory process... here are the steps that I performed, you are solely responsible for your own phone and I am not liable for any complications or damage yadda yadda yadda
1) Be sure you have root access and make a TWRP backup before trying any of this
2) Download the Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha4 to your phone
3) Download the Xposed uninstaller arm to your phone
4) Download the Xposed sdk22 arm to your phone
5) Install the Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha4.apk
6) Boot into TWRP and install the Xposed sdk22 arm that you downloaded
7) "Clear dalvik/cache" and then "Reboot System"
8) ???
9) Profit
If you open up the Xposed Installer app and see that there is errors still, check the logs
If you run into any other critical problems (bootloops or system app crashes), you can go back into TWRP and flash the Xposed Uninstaller that you downloaded in step 3, if that doesn't fix it, then you need to restore your phone via the TWRP backup you made in step 1
Happy customizing

Thanks!
Just for a reference, there are new versions of files mentioned in OP.
Edit: Tried the tutorial with the latest versions:
xposed-v65-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150629.zip from here
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from here
...and it works! (XT1052 Retail.DE 5.1)

I added the latest versions to the OP Thanks

v68 does not seem to work. i get gapps crash constantly.
used uninstaller and tried flashing on top of v65 too. Haven't tried on clean firmware.
Edit: i did wipe cache and dalvik everytime, before and after flashing

sometimes the motox would be stuck at boot screen aka bootloop after I install xposed. wipe cache will make it work. Or try to uninstall the xposed with uninstaller. Just write here for a reference.

I edited my post. Also phone always booted, the crash was always after I unlocked the phone

Without modules installed? Are you sure you are running the right xpose for you Android version?

no, i flashed with modules installed but disabled from xposed app. should i remove them? dont want to lose the settings
Enviado desde mi XT1053 mediante Tapatalk

tried again but this time I uninstalled modules, then rebooted normally, reboot to recovery, flash uninstaller, wiped cache & dalvik, rebooted system to see if everything was OK, reboot to recovery again, flashed xposed framework v68, reboot system. SUCCESS.
Finally setup everything from scratch ugh!

I'm not clear on the instructions. I moved the 2 zip folders onto my downloads folder on my XT1060 but they do not appear in downloads. Do I unzip them? How do I install them? Is this done through the computer or the phone?
EDIT: Got it - all on the phone in twrp - had to google a different tutorial.

[How To] Upgrade Rooted JULY Developers Preview to Official 5.2.2 Release

[EDIT Oct. 25] Here's what I did--cleaned up and corrected for bootloaders--to install the official 5.2.2 update (build date September, 2015) on myrooted tablet running Developers Preview, build date July, 2015.This is only for those who rooted and installed the dev preview before the upgrade/downgrade troubles. It let's you keep all your stuff.
Few important things:
If you don't reset/wipe in TWRP you can keep most of your stuff, including homescreen layout, play store and all apps. However . . .
Google framework, account manager, contact sync and calendar sync get deleted with the update.
I didn't flash Gapps and got bogus insufficient space error [130 Mb free] when I tried later. Restoring framework fixed everything, but it may be best to flash new Gapps (although that can cause problems when update doesn't completely wipe /system, like this one). Up to you.
Oct 26 Update: Based on reported "insufficient space" flashing Gapps--plus testing and researching contacts and calendar--I suggest not flashing Gapps but simply backing up Google services framework before you upgrade and restoring it after. The other google system apps that get deleted don't seem to be needed; if you want to sync Google contacts & calendar on the Fire you can add your google account(s) in Settings, same as on any Android. If you don't want Amazon's stock calendar or contacts, get another from the Play Store. I've updated the instructions to reflect this.
.
HDXposed module is no longer needed for working Play Store.
Xposed Framework: The update doesn't support the version we used with the July dev preview. You must either flash the latest version or flash the uninstaller if you don't want Xposed anymore.
Stock launcher now = com.amazon.firelauncher
Home key now defaults to stock launcher until you pm disable it. (No prompt anymore)
Backup Google Services Framework.
Turn off wifi (airplane mode) and plug in.

Get latest SuperSU apk (?) Don't know if it's required, but I installed it.
- SuperSU 2.52 Beta: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/chainfire/supersu/supersu-2-52-android-apk-download/
Follow Step 1 of @bibikalka's guide to temporarily install TWRP and while in TWRP:
a. Flash the update
b. Flash Xposed (installer or uninstaller)
c. Flash 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip
d. Choose boot to recovery and install SuperSU when TWRP prompts you.
Confirm you're in recovery, then boot to system and press Exit at "Welcome to Fire OS 5!"
In OS, see if SuperSU is still managing root access. If it's not or you want to update, install the new SuperSU apk and update binaries.
(Wait to reboot unless you can't get su access at next step.)
Block OTA:
a. Disable dcp or otaverifier (whichever you prefer)
b. Rename system/priv-app/devicesoftwareota/devicesoftwareota.apk extension to apk_
Restore Google Services Framework and reboot.
Turn on wifi and sign in to playstore.
Thanks for the guide!

As far as I understand from my experience of going from unrooted september 5.2.2 to rooted 4.5.3 to rooted september 5.2.2, it should work fine if you go via that route.

[How To] Upgrade Rooted Developers Preview to Official 5.2.2 Release
Finally i follow the turorial and i forgive flash 5.2.0 recovery and gapps and it works then i flash twrp again by adb and i did wipes and flash update, gapps, xposed and 5.2.0 recovery and i hard bricked my fire. Why?
I order a replacement. What i have to do to have fire os 5 final with root, play store and other launcher?
Thanks
You got bricked because you used a tutorial to root that said at the top, don't use/on hold. Maybe we'll have a new method when you get your replacement.
Could we possibly get a video tutorial on how to do this?
(May be easier for some.)
Ooh, I don't do video and doubt anyone will for this, but that would be kind. You can pm me with questions.
I'll see if I can do a video. However, can you add to the guide how to get to the rooted preview at the start of the guide. I bricked my kindle going from 5.0 or so to 4.5.3 up again to get here and bricked. Probably my bad but it would help if you provide some initial steps for those who just got their tablets. Btw my replacement comes in tomorrow do I'll see what I can do for the video if possible.
Nice guide!
I wonder if HDXposed is still needed to keep the PlayStore working. The clarity on installing GAPPS is kind of missing too

Think we have some confusion. I'll need to make this clearer: This guide is only for people who already have the rooted developer preview--people who did the downgrade/upgrade using the July build. There is no longer a way to use the developer preview to gain root; the latest version (September) ends up causing bricks, as you learned the hard way. Fortunately, it looks like the official 5.2.2 update that Amazon is now OTA distributing can be successfully used in the downgrade/upgrade operation. I'm sure guides for that will be out soon.
Then I'll look for a guide on that and go from there.
Thx for the replies.

Good feedback, thanks. HDXposed is indeed not needed, which of course means Xposed isn't required. If you don't install the new Xposed, though, I suspect the old, non-working one will stay on system even with factory reset. Your thoughts?
(Edit: NVM. Yes, they'll still have old Xposed, so will need new.)
Yeah, Gapps <sigh> It's such a personal thing. (Thinking about how to handle.)

I'm looking into this again. When you flashed "5.2.0 recovery" which zip did you use, 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip or 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip? Thanks.
I flashed 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip
davigar, you got the developer preview in order to downgrade to OS 4.5.3 and root, is that right? If not, what OS were you on and how did you install it?
EDIT: @davigar Wait a minute--did you not root? Did you just use this tutorial to install the update and that's when you forgot recovery? This will make a difference. Thanks.
I upgrade my kindle to developer preview then i downgrade to 4.5.3, root and upgrade it to 5.2.2 developer with gapps. I followed the newbie friendly tutorial when i bought it. Sorry for my english [emoji16]

You need to flash the Xposed installer to get out of the bootloop. Then, if you still want to run Xposed, I highly recommend the unofficial version by "Wanam"..
He is the download link for the uninstaller.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
Here is where you should be getting the Xposed installer from. "Wanam" has made this unofficial version specifically for Samsung devices running LL and MM.

Its saying that it couldn't find the updater script for some reason. And I have no clue why it would be saying that. Works fine for me, but I'm also running a permissive kernel too. That zip should work on either lollipop or Marshmallow.
Did you check the MD5 after the download to make sure the download was good?

It sounds like it didn't install. Make sure that you have the Xposed installer apk installed first, then reboot to recovery and flash the "wanam" xposed for marshmallow zip. Then reboot to system. When it boots after the flash you should see the Samsund upgrading apps screen before it boots into system fully.
Then go to app drawer and open the xposed app and under framework it should look like this..
Also, are you running SElinux permissive? Sometimes this is the only way that Xposed will stick. Just a thought.

I may not have made it clear from the start and I am sorry for that but you have to install 2 files. Like I said in my last post, install the apk first, then flash the zip in recovery. Those two files are required to get Xposed on your system. All files should be accessible in the links I provided in my first post. Good luck

If you read the thread, Xposed has issues with Samsung Devices like the SM-T280. There is a version that works with Samsung though I can't rememer the link, even then I'm not sure if it will work with the SM-T280 out of the box. You can check Tinker Edition V5 if you want a pre-rooted, pre-xposed ROM and see if it fits your needs.

Xposed for k10 successfully working

Im not responsable for hard bricks/ soft bricks on youre devices do at your own risk
I already test it and works on my rooted ms428
I want to give a special thanks to the devs for the patience, dedication and for working hard to make the root possible for this device
Its highly recommended to perform a nan-backup incase of an emergency or incase if you want to go back
The steps are quite simple
1) root your device, if you dont have it rooted here is the link for the steps to root for the lg k10 both metropcs and T-Mobile editions only
(forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/root-twrp-rom-t-mobile-k428-k10-t3582493)
2) install magisk manager on playstore
3) open magisk manager and install the zip file via automatic
4) boot into twrp and flash the zip file located in magisk folder
5) once it done wipe cache and dalvik cache
6) once it finish booting open magisk manager and click on downloads tab
7) install on magisk xposed framework sdk23 (marshmallow) *note if you have lollipop its the sdk22
8) once it finished click on reboot later, boot into twrp and wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot
9)install xposed apk (its the one i use on my ms428 forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758)
10) enjoy
See it for your self ?
itztropic- after I rooted I just downloaded the xposed framework from the website normally and it worked properly, I must be not understanding something about the method you described?
I don't really understand what magisk is for I thought it was a developer tool of some sort (which i'm not)

Magisk is a frontend designed to manage apps and modules that use systemless capabilities. It has its own superuser based on phh's superuser, and features modules much like Xposed, though some are useful even on Nougat. Xposed can be installed systemless as well and Magisk can disable and re-enable root and Xposed on the fly, as well as its modules, so you can have a rooted phone and still use Android Pay and Pokemon Go.

Thanks for the explanation-also Overdrive took some time via pm to explain a few things about it. I've been working with it a couple days and I like it now that I understand, another cool thing to learn about

Removal of Magisk from ROM flash files

Nowadays Magisk is integrated in to almost all Nougat ROM's. For some it works flawlessly, for some its getting conflicted with various apps. Those who are facing problems with Magisk can remove it from the ROM before flashing using the below method. Including flash files of Lineage OS rooting file & removal file.
1) Unzip the ROM flashfile
2) Delete magicsk folder
3) Go to META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script
4) Open with Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.3.3.html)
5) After opening the script file, find these lines below, remove them and save the file
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Flashing Magisk...");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("magisk", "/tmp/magisk");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unzip", "/tmp/magisk/magisk.zip", "META-INF/com/google/android/*", "-d", "/tmp/magisk");
run_program("/sbin/sh", "/tmp/magisk/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary", "dummy", "1", "/tmp/magisk/magisk.zip");
ui_print(" ");
6) Zip back all the files using winrar or win zip
7) Copy this to phone and flash the ROM
8) Now flash SuperSU or Flash lineage OS rooting zip file (See the attachment) to root.
9) Uninstall Magisk using system app uninstaller
Congrats, you're good to go !!
Note : Also including Magisk Uninstaller below. It used to work in previous builds and now its giving boot loops or just gets stucked in moto logo with vibrations. So try this at your own risk. Safer method is to remove it from ROM (above method) and flash it.

Simple way is to uninstall using Magisk Uninstaller. But its giving boot loops on new builds. Hence this method. You're always welcome if having simpler method

uninstaller is giving bootloops? lol report that to the magisk dev. And use the latest uninstaller instead of the old one you posted. This work around is way too complicated
This workaround is exactly right if you want to remove Magisk from a ROM before installing, which is exactly what I've been trying to do for most of Friday night, to no avail. I want to encrypt my device which has caused boot loops every single time, even when I temporarily disable root. Tried the latest Magisk uninstaller, same result even though it says there's no more root or Magisk available when I open it under settings (Resurrection Remix Nougat). I am going full anti-spying mode right now, and I had no idea that it would be so difficult to get encryption on a Custom ROM (AICP gave me boot loops as well).
Unfortunately, the above method described by @Shibin_1985 doesn't do it for me. When trying to flash, it immediately stops, reporting an error due to invalid zip signature (TWRP 3.1.1.0, jfvelte).

This workaround is exactly right if you want to remove Magisk from a ROM before installing, which is exactly what I've been trying to do for most of Friday night, to no avail.

Click to collapse
Download the latest Magisk uninstaller.. Else unzip the rom zip file, remove the Magisk folder in it & zip it back...
