Xposed install guide

Hi all,
First off, backup everything and you do this at your own risk!
Okay, so you'll need a unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a rooted system with supersu installed.
Download the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v83-sdk23-arm64.zip
Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
Open SuperSU and leave it running in the background. Open Xposed app, click on framework and select soft reboot. You should now get a popup from SuperSU requesting access from the xposed app.
After reboot, browse to the following location. / system / EMUI / base / prop , open the local.prop file and locate the line "ro.config.hwtheme = 1". Once you have located the line, change from 1 to 0. Save the file and reboot to twrp recovery.
Install the xposed-v83-sdk23-arm64.zip, once installed click on wipe Dalvik cache.
Reboot and test.
The first reboot after the install can take up to 10 mins, don't panic its normal!
You can update to the latest version of xposed-v85-sdk23-arm64.zip after this, but for whatever reason v85 doesn't work when installing first.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
Thx for this!
I've a question: is it possible to use Xposed but to have possibility to change theme?
Because with "ro.config.hwtheme = 0" the theme app is down (normal i think) but the theme is ..... not very pretty :/
Thanks, sorry for my english!

Do v83 have some serious bugs or its ok to use?!

Ok :laugh:

The setting does not work intermittently, won't load, tried on two Honor 5c so far, latest version as well as xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160530.zip - a reboot fixes but may be other issues as only had the phone for a week or so. Any solution?

There is no need to disable Huawei Theme Engine. Just flash Xposed v86 (or any version later than 86) and you're good to go. No build.prop and local.prop edits needed.

I had exactly the same problem, and to make it even worst I was having crashes when trying to call someone and also unable to receive calls. Sometimes a reboot would fix the situation but then it was back again. Are you facing the same problems with newer versions of xposed?
@Liffeyman Could you update the thread to the most recent xposed and installer? And also the change of the value inside the file is not needed anymore. Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765/

Mike_Wasawsky, didn't notice any other issues but settings won't launch - it was also the case with p9 lite. However, I am currently using Xposed framework 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 20160904) on build NEM-L51C432B120 and settings works most of the time if not all the time (I think I had to reboot once, not sure whether it was p9 Lite or 5c). Same version is also on a p9 lite and working OK. I would advise you to use latest Wanam build.

Thank you very much. I tried it anyway and I'm having the same issues.
I've been exploring this situation and realised that the problem wasn't specifically Xposed, but some of the modules.
I always use Youtube background, Youtube adAway and xInternalSD. Only installing youtube background it goes fine, but when I activate one of the others or both of them the problem starts again, randomly crashes settings and I can not make or receive calls, because the call app crashes too. :/

Why dint u tried from official site of rovo

Xposed won't enable in PureFusionOS (13NOV2017)

I finally found a ROM for this GD phone that fully connects to my Bluetooth deck. Yay! All other ROMs besides stock and PureNexus would say "Connected (no phone). However Xposed is not working. The Xposed Installer (v3.14) says that Xposed version 89 is installed, but not active. This is my first time trying Xposed on Nougat. I've used Xposed on all previous Android versions (since the inception of Xposed). Never had this issue. The installer says to check the logs. When I tried it says that it can't read the log (no such file or directory). I'm so sick of effing with this phone. I'm still using my OnePlus One because I can't find a ROM that has fully working Bluetooth that isn't the crappy stock ROM or PureNexus (PureNexus is unfinished and abandoned). Somebody, anybody...how the eff do I get Xposed to work?
What I did:
-Full wipe (dalvik, system, data, cache)
-Flash latest PureFusion (13NOV2017)
-Flash SuperSu v2.82
-Flash OpenGapps (pico)
-First boot
-Install Xposed installer v3.14
-Reboot to recovery
-Flash Xposed v89
I've also tried using the install option from within the installer. No joy. Changed SuperSu options to be more compatible and less safe (namespace speration, trust system user, enable su during boot). No Joy.
I'm about to smash this phone with a hammer. Finally found a ROM that sorts Bluetooth and now Xposed doesn't work. Next time I'll check XDA first before buying a phone to check the current status of development.
Edit: I'd like to avoid using Magisk if possible. I can't remember which root apps, but there are some that don't work with Magisk (last I checked).
Edit 2: Tried the following without success. Exact same results. A msg on the status screen saying Xposed is installed but not active:
-Unity version of Xposed
-Magisk 14.0 + systemless Xposed framework
-Probably something else I'm forgetting
I created the missing log file and gave it the appropriate permissions but nothing ever got written to it. I suppose I could do a logcat but I can't be bothered. If Xposed doesn't work out of the box for this particular ROM I'm not going any further with it. I posted this question in the ROM thread as well.

Try Magisk 14.0, install the module, download the modified apk from the module download tab, install the app, see if it works
Edit: I just read the last line, sorry
that is the only thing that i've thought about. Stock is the other way around, normal method works but topjohnwu's module doesn't. But Magisk xposed worked on every custom ROM I've used.

I would have ultimately tried Magisk anyways if all else failed. I will try later. Probably tomorrow. If it works I'll call it solved and you get the prize.

Nah don't want any price. a thank is enough
Which are the apps that don't work with Magisk?

@Doc Ames: it's probably just the ROM you've chosen. I've tried lots of Lineage/AOSP ROMs for the A7, Xposed has worked flawlessly in all of them.
My setup:
Vertex Carbide
Hellsgate EAS kernel, with data and cache formatted as F2FS
Phh's Superuser, for root
Busybox 1.27.2 by YashadSaraf
Xposed v89 official
No GApps, except MicroG and Play Store
I try to avoid Magisk, it's a nice concept, but systemless is more trouble than it's worth. Magisk has caused me tons of issues. I've tried it off and on for months but I keep switching back to good ol reliable Phh. I stopped using SuperSU ever since it was bought by an Asian (Chinese?) company.
Good luck!

I don't remember. If for some reason I have to use Magisk maybe I can find replacement apps.

Thank you for the suggestion. The issue is that there is no other ROM for the A7 (save PureNexus and stock ROMs) that will properly connect to my Bluetooth deck. I was trying to pursue a solution to the Bluetooth issue with custom ROMs for the A7 but it affects such a small number of users that nobody seems to think it's an issue. I tried the ROM you are using and had the above mentioned Bluetooth issue. I've tried a ton of ROMs. I'd rather get a fix to the Bluetooth issue so I can use whatever ROM I want. However, I posted a question about my Bluetooth issue and everybody just gave me the whole, "It's working on my machine. Must be your deck."

@Doc Ames: Well sorry to know that you're essentially forced to used a specific rom just to get your Bluetooth deck working. I don't use Bluetooth for anything but transferring files, that's worked in every ROM I've tried. But I have had issues in the past where a certain device would work on one ROM but not on another. It could be a ROM issue, or maybe an issue with the Bluetooth device you're using. Maybe a combo of both. I'm not a dev so there's nothing I can do except be sympathetic. Maybe you can elevate your issue with A7 devs so they can maybe look into whether there are underlying Bluetooth issues in their ROMs that need to be resolved. If the deck didn't cost too much, you might want to look into selling it and getting a more known, compatible deck that works with most ROMs. I guess it all just depends on how much it's worth to you to be able to run whatever ROM you want without worrying about whether your deck will work.
Good luck!

@Doc Ames,
If you haven't yet, give the UNITY Xposed package (by @ahrion) a try. On my G3 I had nothing but troubles trying to get Xposed and ParanoidAndroid working. With UNITY everything came together to my surprise.
Also just flashed it tonight on the Axon B32 stock. Far as other ROMs go I've used both unofficial and official Xposed on various ROMs like VertexOS and Dark ROM without issue.
I too stay away from Magisk so I can't speak to any of the systemless installers.

Latest Magisk and SafetyNet on Stock N

Hello guys,
Please accept my apologies if this topic was asked/discussed in other threads. I was unable to find an answer to this question with my searches.
For a while now, I have noticed that Magisk fails SafetyNet on Nougat stock ROM. If my memory serves me, it started with v16.0 and now with beta ver. 16.2 the issue is still ongoing.
Has anyone found a way to pass SafetyNet for stock ROM?
P.S. I have noticed that in Magisk Manager settings, the option "Magisk Hide" disables itself after reboot, I assume something prevents it from working properly (???).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Catalin D

I've been having the same issue and got no solutions other than using 15.3.

Better than no solution at all!
I can confirm the same results. I went ahead and tried all versions from 15.3 to 16.3 - only 15.3 works.
Unfortunately that version is lacking something for me at least... Have you been able to get modules working in 15.3?
They fail to install directly from Magisk Manager. When I try to do it manually in TWRP, I get no errors but the modules are not there when I boot back into the system.
There's clearly some problems we're having that other devices aren't... And the fact that these problems seem to be handled silently doesn't help.

I am also using 15.3 magisk with 5.5.5 manager and I have no issues. I have systemiser, debloater, busybox, greenify. the only mod that seems to be not working îs YouTube vanced. I uninstalled the system YouTube and the mod seems unable to install its version.

Works fine here w/ same Magisk & Manager.
try this: Uninstall Vanced. Reinstall YouTube, but freeze it after install. Reboot. Redownload & install Vanced. Reboot. Unfreeze original YouTube & profit. Goodluck.

there's an even easier fix. Usually Vanced (iYTBP) doesn't work because there are two installs of Youtube (on /system/app and on /data/app) and it only replaces the one in /system. The solution is to deactivate auto-updates, then use a file manager (i recommend root browser all the way) to delete the /data/app/com.google.youtube folder (or however it is called, but the one that has the youtube apk inside).
and of course reboot after that

Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed in the beta released today. (version name 16.4 - version code 1642) Working great.
Looking at his (topjohnwu's) changelog, it seems he made a ton of structure changes and improvements regarding MagiskHide, so it's no surprise this got fixed in the process.
May Magisk and the Axon 7 live long and prosper!

Can't pass safetyney

Any help? Thanks

safety net has nothing to do with the ROM, but with Magisk and root. Maybe your Magisk installation isn't correctly configured ( Do not install Xposed Modules )
Re-flash the ROM and Reinstall latest Magisk (16.4).

Ok, I'll try disabling the modules I have to see if that fixes the issue. I mostly have it to use GravityBox and Youtube Background Playback. The first one because I use the volume keys to skip songs (I'm using the stock rom) and the other one because Youtube vanced doesn't seem to install properly. Do you know of alternatives to any of those?

Did you disable YouTube before + remove the playstore updates of YouTube too then install Vanced.
I don't use xposed at all as my ROM has everything i need, i just use a couple of Magisk modules ( font, vanced, iOS11 emojies and MiAi camera lag fix ). If nothing is broken, don't try and fix it

Where did that come from? I'm not trying to "fix" anything. All I want is to add is song skipping with the volume keys (something that should've been added to stock android by now). I tried what you said with vanced but it's still not working.

Alternative to Vanced youtube is "OGYoutube" (https://plusmods.com/ogyoutube) - installed as a standard app, so you can keep official updated Youtube (best of both worlds). I don't know about functional alternative to Gravitybox though, so you can't get rid of Xposed (the only module which breaks Safetynet by design).
Edit: if you use Gravitybox only for media control with volume keys, you might have luck with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=frinky.volumeKeys.music.controller&hl=en. I didn't like it too much, but it's worth trying if Safetynet is your priority.
Edit2: Automation via Tasker is an option as well, but it was pain in the a** to use it on my previous phone.. https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-pro-skip-music-tracks-using-volume-keys/
Edit3: Just realized that Button mapper pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en) offers this option as well and seems to be working fine. I guess that I can disable Xposed now, thank you for creating this topic

What's the best android 11 version?

Hi all
I recently purchased and SU/rooted my OP8pro and currently on version 11.0.5.5 international*
I'm always getting the update notifications however I'm worried it will compromise my root..
How can I update ( should I update?) and keep Root ?

Check if the newer version is rootable then upgrade.
Or look if supersu has update support in which it won't compromise the root access

And if you want to update, update if not then don't.

Thanks, I've got a few magisk modules installed already but do you know a way to simply hide/mute those system notifications?
Appreciated

Try disabling notification access for the updater app

K do you want u mean through the default settings or via magisk or something?

With default settings.

Steps to upgrade and keep root:
1- Uninstall ALL Magisk modules (if you have any). Reboot to System.
2- install Oos.zip with Settings > Local upgrade . Do NOT reboot!!!
3- Open Magisk > Install. Choose (Install to inactive slot after' OTA).
5- Reboot to system.
Re-install modules one by one so you know if one of them cause issue.

I run 11.0.7.7 EU on mine with Magisk 23.0 and as modules I use Riru, LSPosed, Gravitybox R, Dolby Atmos (with EQ), Swift Installer module, BusyBox, Magisk hide, CTS profile fix and systemless hosts. Works fine.

They're all rootable, they're all the same pretty much, so the latest would be the best

Yep, very small changes unless you alter the base (10-11) but even then it's minor cosmetic changes.
Couldn't speak for the beta but the stock is as I've said, I wouldn't imagine the beta to be too dissimilar

Beta is awesome! And always with new options/features, wich will be on stable later, Much later.
I use open beta since OnePlus 3. Still use it. Too bad that is show up after Months.

Yeah it is but buggy af though sometimes

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Only problem is that I have no time do even tgink about this at the moment.. Is there a way to hide/ disable system notifications? It gets annoying and sometimes I almost install the updates..
