IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
I have now updated the guide. We now use the official installer instead of the systemless installer due to a big change in the way the systemless image is handled (thanks to Magisk). If you have the old systemless version, you must remove it before installing the official Xposed. You can find a guide for that here. Alternatively, you can rebase your entire system on the new systemless Magisk system, for which I have a guide coming soon.
Getting Xposed up and running on this thing is pretty simple once you're rooted, but I got a request to make this, and I don't want anyone breaking their phone while they're trying to get it installed, so I made a guide.
Before you begin, you'll need your phone rooted with SuperSU (systemless root). This has been tested on V6.1 and V6.4 of the Amazon Prime edition BLU R1 HD, but I'm sure it will work on the non-Prime version too. You also must have TWRP installed. Not really sure how you got root without having TWRP, but you do need it.
As always, you're doing this at your own risk. It's not my fault if your phone gets bricked, damaged, or becomes sentient and plots with other Android devices to kill you and your cat.
With all that out of the way, let's get started here.
First, you need DVDandroid's Material Design Xposed installer. It's a really great alternative to the official Xposed installer and I prefer it on all my devices. You can download it from this thread.
After installing that, open it up. You'll be greeted with a screen telling you to be careful and that this could damage your device. Dismiss it.
Slide over to the official tab in the Xposed installer. We used to use the systemless version, but we can no longer use that one due to some changes that were recently made.
From the top dropdown, choose xposed-(version)-sdk23-arm, where (version) is replaced with the latest version of the file. This should be selected by default, but double check. Make absolutely sure that the ARM version is selected and NOT the ARM64 or x86 version. Flashing the wrong version could damage your phone.
Click Install/Update. Xposed installer will give you a few warnings and ask for root access, but at the end of it all, your phone will reboot.
The rest is automatic. Your phone will boot into TWRP, where it will run a couple scripts, and then reboot back into the system. The first boot process will take a long time, and might even loop once or twice. It will also rebuild the caches for every app on your phone, so it will take a while. Once it finally finishes, you should be booted to Android with Xposed framework enabled!
That's it! Install your favourite modules and play with your phone to your heart's content!
Also note that after performing these steps, your device will take a long time to boot up. The Xposed framework simply being initialized will make your phone take much longer to start up than normal. Every additional module you enable will also make your phone take a little longer to boot. You can disable the Xposed framework in the Xposed Status tab of the Xposed Installer using the switch at the top. This will disable Xposed and your phone will boot quickly again (without even removing Xposed!), so you can use this as a hotswitch for enabling/disabling Xposed (if that makes sense in your use-case). Removal of Xposed is also pretty straightforward. Just head over to the official tab in Xposed Installer and click the Uninstall button. I've never personally tried this because I see no reason for it, but I can't imagine why it would break anything.
This second post will be reserved for any notes I want to make about specific modules. If anyone discovers anything useful for this post, please let me know and I'll add it.
In GravityBox, enable "Force AOSP" in the About menu to fix a problem with several of the Statusbar Tweaks.
Some of Android N-ify's options don't work. Specifically, the Status bar header options cause the quick settings and notification panel header to become improperly layered, making it unusable. If anyone knows how to go about fixing this, please let me know. Disabling the options completely fixes it, but you lose the functionality. You will also want to disable all options in Notifications section to avoid the notifications panel looking awkward.
Having the GravityBox Miscellaneous option "Search bar visibility" set to "Hide and remove space" causes glitchy graphics when opening the recent apps/task manager. To correct this, set it to either "Default" or "Hide and keep space".
The following problems are the same issue manifesting in different ways.
Double tapping the overview key while only one app is opened and Android N-ify's "Quick switch" is on causes SystemUI to crash.
Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened, only one app is opened, and Android N-ify "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Return to previous app" causes SystemUI to crash.
Tapping the overview key while the overview is already opened and Android N-ify's "Recents button click behavior" is set to "Cycle through apps" causes SystemUI to crash.
Side note, I hate the default clear all button (in the recent apps/task manager). It's ugly, takes up too much space, and is poorly positioned. If anyone knows of an Xposed module that can get rid of it completely (I can use a different one from either GravityBox or the best recent apps/task manager enhancer ever, Recently), or knows how to go about making such a module, please let me know. I would be grateful forever.
Just want to add that Xposed also works in V6.4. And also thanks for mentioning the unofficial Xposed installer app, the material design looks much better than the original

Thanks. Updated the first post.
Wow, never used Xposed before but this is pretty neat. I've got the CM battery icon on my status bar.
Nice.
Thanks for the guide! Love using gravitybox to make the navbar smaller. Anybody know a way to make double tapping power button open camera?
I'm getting this error in twrp. Any ideas?
After I click install my phone reboots into TWRP but it does not run any scripts and xposed isn't installed. Any ideas why?

Systemless Xposed is officially dead. Well, not really. Thanks to a new tool called Magisk, things have changed a lot, which means I will have to rewrite a good chunk of this guide. I will be writing a new guide talking about Magisk shortly, but for now, this guide is dead. Sorry.
I've updated the guide with instructions for installing official Xposed version, and I tested it. This guide is back in business. Now to work on that Magisk guide. Install away, @sporez @twotonejuggler!
Removing old systemless Xposed and re-installing official version.
Today, an update to the Xposed Installer was released. It should offer to update itelf when you open it. Please update the Xposed installer before uninstalling the old systemless Xposed package and installing the new one.
This will serve as the guide for removing systemless Xposed and installing the official Xposed package. If you would like to continue using systemless Xposed, you will have to get the Magisk framework, which I have a guide coming soon for, so please sit tight. It does require unrooting/restoring your phone, so don't get too attatched.
Make sure Xposed Installer is up to date. You need the 05/08/16 version or newer.
Switch to the systemless tab of Xposed installer, then click the Uninstall button. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, remove Xposed, and reboot back to Android. Xposed will be gone.
Reopen the Xposed Installer, switch to the official tab, verify that the selected framework is xposed-(version)-sdk23-arm (NOT any other version) and click Install/Update. Accept the warnings, allow root access if required. Your phone will reboot to recovery, then back to Android. It will rebuild the cache for all apps, so this first boot will take a long time.
You should be good to go.

reading about magisk, i think the only advantages of this is you can use android pay with xposed, but this device doesn't have nfc so... not useful here.
And to install magisk we need uninstall xposed and supersu to install magisk to uninstall xposed? lol
i think the only way to uninstall systemless xposed is reinstalling stock rom or not?
No, I didn't need to do anything besides install magisk and the supersu. After that, the uninstall of xposed from within the xposed installer is able to complete successfully. Then I was able to install the official version of xposed, reboot, and it was working again with all my gravitybox settings. I just don't know if I have gained or given up anything by switching from the systemless xposed to the official version!

All Xposed modules will work on any version and types (system-less, aosp, samsung, etc.) The difference is that when you want to uninstall the Xposed installer and the modules, it will be easier than the System-integrated versions. For example, you have Snapchat. But before you did that, you installed Xposed. Snapchat won't log into your account because of their root policy thing. So in order to get rid of that you will have to uninstall Xposed then you reboot. After that, you have to type in your username and password. Then you install Snapchat. RootCloak doesn't work. I've tried it before. So, under my experiences, System-less Xposed is far better and cooler. The Xposed Material Design Edition is at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=13191#downloads
DOWNLOAD THE XPOSED INSTALLER NOT ANYTHING ELSE!!!
Give me a thanks if I helped you.

Disclaimer
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
Ok, Snapchat can realize that you have modified your device, so you will have to uninstall it by using this uninstaller: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3847905&d=1471640681
Reboot your device and your Snapchat should work.
Download Xposed again from here, BUT WAIT, IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST MARSHMALLOW VERSION DOWNLOAD HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3893970&d=1475554254
If you have the LOLLIPOP VERSION DOWNLOAD HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3893968&d=1475554214
After installation, Snapchat should work still.
After many trial and error (including some research here on XDA), it seems that if you are using stock boot.img and have a root using SuperSU 2.62 (systemless root i.e. your boot image was patched to get a working root), you have to install the systemless Xposed to make Xposed work.
It is an unofficial version which can be obtained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
Thanks to DVDandroid for this work, don't forget to leave a thanks for him/her.
Am not facing any crashes or weird behavior after this installation.

I tried magisk but could not make it work. I think, I know how to do it the right way now but have to start with a clean firmware and flash magisk, install magisk manager, install Phh's SuperSU, install systemless Xposed and then modules...
Feeling too lazy to give it a try but for sure, it's on my list of things to do so that I can figure it out.
Are you using magisk on honor 7? How did you get it to work?
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Labs
Sure Its working here.
I installed the magisk manager apk first
then flashed magisk from recovery(twrp required)
and right after that(before reboot) phh's su.
Rebooted, installed phh's superuser application from the playstore.
That got me a systemless root.
A systemless xposed is a little harder.
First you need the Material Design Xposed Installer from that link.
If you installed that then head into the magisk manager, swipe left, downloads
Download and install xposed sdk 21 for android 5.0 and sdk 23 for 6.0
It should reboot into recovery and flash the systemless xposed module.
Reboot into system, its gonna take a while, around 10-15 minutes.
And that got me the systemless xposed.
I should say that you should backup your stuff, but its broken in twrp so whatever.

You can also give BootManager a try to stop unwanted applications starting at boot and another I like is Xposed additions to map hardware buttons to new functions.

You are wrong. It is Magisk and then Phh' SU
It is all working now
Although if you try to install xposed through Magisk it will bootloop. I spent hours try to figure it out why, before i remembered that the theme manager doesnt work with xposed and i think you need to deodex the rom before you install it
ps: when i finally flashed Magisk v8, rebooted and started magisk manager, guess what-- v9 came out (tried to flash that, but it kept saying that boot image does not enough space, so i fashed Digikernel and it worked)
edit: and pokemon go is working so i assume it passes safetynet

You'll also need the Modded Xposed installer, also available from MagiskManager.
Sidenote Systemless Xposed still breaks SafetyNet
To run Xposed on 8.1 do this:
Be on Oreo 8.1 (Always be on Oreo 8.1)
Install TWRP for Oreo 8.1

Okay I think I can conclude how to install Xposed on Pixel device (or some other devices as well).
1. Install Xposed installer, and place the Xposed-Framework zip in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/downloads/framework/
2. Disable ALL modules in MagiskManager
3. Install Xposed-Framework in Xposed installer with "install" button (NOT via recovery)
4. Reboot. Xposed is intalled. You can activate the Magisk modules again

When I wrote this, Magisk module was not there yet.
Please use the Magisk module one. It works best with Xposed-module + Magisk-module.
The Magisk method didn't work for me.
If I activate Xposed, install a module, and then disable Xposed, while the modification from the module still remain? Or will it deactivate?

What method? Are you unable to install Magisk 15.2 on Oreo 8.1? Go to the beta thread here
I updated the OP. I had the wrong link.

Deactivate. You are disabling the framework. Kind of like if you took the legs off your table, will it levitate? Probably, not. However, you might need to test yourself..? I dunno...

No, I have Magisk 15.2 working just fine, but installing Xposed through Magisk failed for me, not sure why. I posted a screenshot of the installation error in Post #4.
did you install busybox by osmosis?
Update: others having the same issue in the support thread
Mounting bug? I dunno...
I got rid of it after a few days, buggy and noticed definite slower device

Greenify only
Probably was greenify..?
For the life of me I can't get Xposed to activate on my phone. I've tried installing several different ways....flashing the zip in recovery, installing via magisk and even installing via Xposed installer app. I can get it to install but Xposed installer app says it's not activated.
Any suggestions?
**EDIT**
I was using the wrong installer. For anyone else having issues make sure you download the Xposed installer on the first page of op's linked thread. Install the Xposed installer, then go to magisk manager and download/install Xposed api27 for 8.1 Oreo. Reboot. Profit.
Attempting right now
