To those of you who don't bother to look up this information or even ask around xda.
THE HTC FIRST IS DISCONTINUED. NO ANDROID SOFTWARE UPDATES WILL EVER BE AVAILABLE FROM ATT OR HTC. WE ARE STUCK ON 4.1 JELLY BEAN FOR LIFE UNLESS WE GET CM. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS GOING BECAUSE IT IS VERY HARD FOR ONE PERSON TO DO IT WHILE LIVING A LIFE. TRUST MY PERSONAL XP
Thank you.
PS: Gosh, please do research on the phone you are buying and how android even works before buying one.
Also.
Apps within the 4.1 - 4.3 range are inter compatible so you can run 4.3 or even 4.4 "aosp apps" like clock camera and keyboard on android 4.1.

ROM - a file containing software files that you either receive as an update or flash through recovery to replace your your existing os.
Recovery - a system you boot into to, to be able to flash files and manage your phone at a superior root level (aka god mode) be careful with it.
Flash - install through recovery
Root - (to root - to gain superior access and make you overlord over the device's /system and /boot partition) Root - having root access
AOSP - Android Open Source Project (also refers to a STOCK non customized or non modded ROM or Nexus port)
Port - (to port - to port a rom means to copy it from another device because it is easier that way than building it from scratch, aka copying and slightly modifying to make it work on a device) A port - a rom that has been copied from another device

Hi all,
Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.
GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.
Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!
GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)
LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")
LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")
LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")
LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")
LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")
LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")
LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")
LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")
LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")
LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")
LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")
LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")
LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")
LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")
A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

I'm not sure yet, but it may not be necessary. Because gomdolight is a large-scale patch mainly focusing on script-driven features, just three of system apks are overwritten:
- /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGCameraApp.apk
Camera should be compatible for all variants, and only the FRAMEWORK RESOURCE and the SYSTEM UI might have compatibility issue.
You can first take a Nandroid backup, and try installing GomdoLight all the way to the end over your stock firmware, and see if it boots (and operates without crashes)
For model selection just choose LG-F340K.
1) If it works well: CONGRATULATIONS! You have fully-working GomdoLight.
2) If it fails: Restore Nandroid, and reinstall GomdoLight. However this time choose the 4TH option for battery percentage indicator. (Do not change) This options leaves both framework-res and SystemUI unchanged, so it will work 100%.

do they CONSISTENTLY force close by certain actions? or just randomly?
I'm downloading now and will test it for the D95920s firmware. T-Mobile D959 on the latest KitKat 4.4.2 D95920s. Will report back later. I need my phone till at least 4pm central time so I can reach my son but I'll flash after that.
This intrigues me. Sprint supported? I don't feel like dealing with force closes mentioned in previous post in different variant.

good luck. if it crashes revert to stock via nandroid backup and reinstall gomdolight, this time choosing the 4th option (do not overwrite the status bar) with battery percentage indicator.

probably. the script set is practically compatible with all current LGE devices with JB or KK. only few apks should be troublesome.
if not sure, choose not to change the status bar during installation. then it will not overwrite both framework-res and systemui.
Gonna try it on my d950
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
Mahh nothing different.... install went perfect,so far no force closes. What is this supposed to be? I dont see any difference. I used the f340u+. Nothing special going on with this. Restoring my back up now.

Don't you see messages like 'GomdoLight: System starting up'?
You usually don't see visible differences after installing GomdoLight, especially on non-Korean firmware, since it does not know what apps to debloat. You would have to debloat the system yourself. However its extensive startup script set provides very unique and useful functions. These functions are explained in the simplified user manual that is automatically displayed after installing. If you did not see the manual opening, and if you do not see the startup messages either, probably something is wrong.

I seen all the startups and everything. Gomdo warning of superuser, a major lag on my phone for abot 3-5 minutes of lag. It only uninstalled vutalj. I honestly havent noticed anything special. I even tried it with that status bar selection and it went through fine.

gomdolight's optimizations are not much visually noticable, without drastic changes. if you expect a whole new experience this is not your type of rom.
or, you could install another stock-based rom that will bring significant changes, and install gomdolight over it (without status bar selection) to further aid with its performance.
think gomdolight as a special tool to streamline and 'properly' reorganize the stock firmware (or, stock-based roms). changes are not noticable at first sight, but they surely benefit the user somehow in the long run, and give you better control and (sometimes) superior disaster handling capabilities.
anyway, thank you for letting me know that selecting LGU+ model increases compatibility with non-Korean firmwares.

I want to start this post off with a couple of very clear points:
@rovo89 is the creator of the Xposed framework
This is a derivative work posted with his permission
This also means the following statements are true:
I have only worked to bring the Xposed framework to Android 5.1
I have only worked to bring systemless support to Xposed on Android 5.1 and 6.0
I have not rewritten the framework from scratch
With that said, I present to you my first unofficial release of Xposed for Android 5.1/6.0. It is my hope that ultimately my changes can be reviewed and an official release posted. But first, the bugs must be squashed! I've written a few Xposed modules that work fine but by posting this unofficial release, I hope to expand my audience of module writers and testers.
How To Test
You must be on Android 5.1/6.0. It will NOT work on Android 5.0 (too many changes to ART).
You should have a working recovery.
If you left the Xposed app installed from Android 5.0, you should disable all modules before installing this framework. Busted modules may keep you from booting after installation otherwise.
I will need Xposed logs (and possibly logcats) to debug any issues. Remember, if your device won't boot after installation, its likely you can reboot to recovery and still grab the Xposed log (assuming Zygote started). It will be in /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log as error.log or error.log.old.
Known Issues
Devices with very little free space on /system may have trouble installing. Systemless installations are recommended if your device is supported. Non-systemless installs should be a last resort.
Downloads
First, I'm going to shamelessly point you to the original Xposed for Lollipop thread. Why? Because I want you to read it. This release hardly differs from that one. And maybe, just maybe, it'll save some unnecessary private messages.
Did you read the original Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow thread?
xposed-v??-sdk2?-*.zip - Must be flashed with a custom recovery to install the framework.
xposed-uninstaller-*.zip - Can be flashed with a custom recovery to uninstall the framework.
XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha*.apk - Must be installed to manage installed modules.
Use the correct platform and SDK version for your device. Google your device or look in build.prop if you're not sure.
Can't find some of the downloads? Surprise! They're in the original Xposed for Lollipop thread. They're unchanged, so there's no need to post them here too.
Module Developers
It would be incredibly useful to me for people to test the framework in the smallest "units" possible at first. By "unit" I mean things such as "resource replacement", "method replacement", "before method hooks", "after method hooks", etc. It doesn't do me a lot of good to know that some huge, complicated module causes system_server to crash without understanding at what level that's happening. This is actually what held me back from releasing. I have some test modules to use, but I don't have infinite time to write test modules, test the framework, etc.

Updated installer and uninstaller. Installer is now a bit more intelligent in creating your backups. Uninstaller is backward compatible. If you had no problems installing 20150629, then there's no need to update to this version. See this commit for details.
20150629
Update to v65 from @rovo89
Note: If the Xposed installer app (not zip) indicates the framework is not installed, then make sure you are using alpha4 of the installer app. This is a bug in alpha3 of the installer app.
20150514
Updated to include @C3C076's commits here. Buy the man a beer!
For details, see commits #1 and #2.
FAQ
Unofficial FAQ maintained by the community is available here
Miscellaneous
Working and non-working modules can be found here. This is not an official list. Your mileage may vary.
If you get "low space warnings" after installation, make sure you wiped Dalvik cache in recovery. If they persist, your ROM may have modified build.prop. See this post for one way on how to fix it. This seems most common with Chroma ROMs.
If your ROM gzip's (compresses) the .odex files in /system, then Xposed will not work and you will bootloop. This is due to patchoat handling the gzipped odex files, but not correctly patching them for Xposed. This causes Xposed to trigger continuous re-dexopt'ing of the compressed odex file.
Awesome! Been waiting for this since you announced on Github! Thanks so much for bringing it public!
Edit: apologies, got a little ahead of myself when I saw the first post in discussion deleted, missed the end of this post in my excitement.
This is incredible! Thank you

Bootloop after installing gravitybox [LP]......My wrong , i forgot to make a NANdroid. I'll check it out again with a Nandroid backup.
Works good on my Nexus 5, but not all the modules. For example RootCloak working but after installing GravityBox I'm getting bootloop...
Just thought I share it, to save some tome to others.
BTW... All worked fine for me on 5.0.1

Does greenify work?
As the Android ecosystem has matured over the years, fewer and fewer users find reasons why they should root their device. There’s a growing trend of users choosing to stay on the stock firmware, either because they find the experience satisfactory or don’t want to play a cat-and-mouse game with Google’s SafetyNet API. But if you asked a user back in early 2016 why they rooted their phones, perhaps the number one reason that was given was so they could install the Xposed Framework. It’s been over a year since Android 7.0 Nougat was first released, but the long wait is finally over: official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is finally available.
Why install the Xposed Framework?
Want to get custom ROM features without flashing a custom ROM? The mother of all Xposed Modules for tweaking your ROM, known as GravityBox, has you covered. Want to customize display settings on a per-app basis? Try App Settings. How about customizing certain applications like Hangouts? Or modifying Instagram so you can download whatever posts you like?
posed gives developers the ability to modify pretty much whatever they want—mostly aimed at individual applications but even system-wide features can be modified. The examples we listed is just the tip of the iceberg. The number of additional features you can add or apps you can modify is incredible—just search through the official Xposed Module repository to see for yourself. Keep in mind that some modules might need to be updated for this new release and for Nougat support, so be sure to check before installing them on your Nougat ROM!
How do Xposed Modules work?
The gist of it is that the Xposed Framework allows modules to “hook” into the Java methods of any application—be it user-installed or a system application. Xposed lets modules execute their own methods before, during, or in place of the original methods of the target application.
For instance, imagine a method used in the Gmail application that posts notifications for new emails. By default, the method creates a new notification with buttons to archive/delete or reply to the email. A Xposed Module could be made to hook into this method and add a new button such as “mark as read.” (Yes, there’s already a Module for just that.)
The above is an over-simplification of the end result of what the Xposed Framework allows its modules to do. The Framework itself is incredibly complex and making it work nearly universally on rooted devices—without needing a custom ROM—is why Xposed for Android Nougat has taken so long to complete. *install at your own risk, I'm not responsible for anything you do to your device.

What's the point of this thread? Is it just to get a few likes? Xposed is well known and people should refer to the original Xposed thread.
Besides your instructions are wrong.. and please be careful of which framework you use.. on stock it is sdk24 on other customers roms it depends on the Android version.
