Below is a format that is a guideline to be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesn't have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
Name of rom, team, etc
Introduction
Changelog in code or list tags
What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code or list tags
What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
Do's and Don'ts of the rom
Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
Finally the dl link
Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes you weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Not to toot my own horn but here is a link to one of my own rom threads as an example. Link
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesn't look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either. If posted then the thread will be removed
Thread title format
Just to add to Papa Smurf151's post, when posting something, please use this format for the title:
[What it is][last updated][Version+stable/test/beta/wip/etc]Name of rom/kernel/etc
For example:
[ROM] [15nov12] [4.3.1BETA] TheBestestKangedROMEver
Note: This thread is here mostly for historical purposes. While Xposed is supported in various forms [EdXposed and LSPosed], developent on the Xposed primary app has completed. Xposed framework compatible modules are still in active development and supported by their respective developers..

Let me introduce the Xposed framework, which gives you the possibility to modify your ROM - without modifying any APK (developers) or flashing (users)!
For a quick start, have a look at XDA's "Android Basics 101" on Xposed:
Some technical details:
I extended the /system/bin/app_process executable to load a JAR file on startup. The classes of this file will sit in every process (including the one for system services) and can act with their powers. And even more: I have implemented something that allows developers to replace any method in any class (may it be in the framework, systemui or a custom app). This makes Xposed very powerful. You can change parameters for the method call, modify the return value or skip the call to the method completely - it's all up to you! Also replacing or adding resources is easy, thanks to many helpers in Xposed's API that developers can use.
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...
It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.
Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Many modules work for a wide range of ROMs from different vendors.
Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they modify the same app. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
It does its magic at runtime. That means that developers can implement settings and do changes based on them (instead of statically forcing a certain behavior). Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs, without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source and free (as in beer and in speech).
There is a repository with many popular modules.
Download:
You can download the installer from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk. The attached disabler zip is only needed if you are in a boot loop.
An experimental version for Gingerbread made by liudongmiao can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44034334#post44034334 (no support from my side though)
How to install:
First step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
I'm not responsible for anything you do with your phone/tablet/rice cooker.
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, see below for ways to recover from it.
Installation of the framework:
Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again and making sure that the numbers in the "Framework" section are green.
If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Use installation via recovery in such cases.
Installation of any modules:
Download <module>.apk (e.g. via the builtin repository browser) and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
(note that you can install the framework and enable/disable multiple modules at once and reboot afterwards)
In case you get into a boot loop:
First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
Modules:
The official repository for Xposed modules, which can also be access from within the app itself (with download/update support), can be found at http://repo.xposed.info
There is also a whole XDA subforum for modules and an index/request thread.
Please don't use the "Xposed General" forum for requests or problems with modules! Use the thread of the module instead.
How to write a module:
If you are an interested developer, give it a try. The development tutorial will help you get started. Further documentation (e.g. how to replace resources) is here. And of course, you can ask your development questions in the "Xposed General" forum.
If you have suggestions for new functions the framework could provide (which means they should be useful for more than your module), you can do this there as well. However, requests that I or somewhen else should write a module for xyz are NOT allowed. Again, this subforum is only about the framework.

Where to get help:
First, read the FAQ and search the "Xposed General" forum. If you don't find your answer there, please check this explanation to find out where you should post your question (e.g. module requests/questions don't belong into the "Xposed General" forum).
Thanks to:
Tungstwenty for his many contributions, both in code and thoughts
XDA admins, news writers and supporters for making Xposed known to so many people
All those volunteers who help answering questions about Xposed
The people who donated to get me a Nexus 5 for earlier KitKat support

This is Xposed version 2.5 (final). The main new features and fixes in this version are:
Rewritten framework installation/uninstallation
Uses interactive su (via libsuperuser) to provide improved compatibility with different Superuser apps
Better feedback when root access fails (doesn't freeze the app anymore)
Offers installation via custom recovery (CWM/TWRP), either flashing the file automatically or manually
Safemode to disable Xposed with hardware keys to get out of (most) bootloops
Compatibility with Sony/LG ROMs (4.3 and 4.4), Meizu ROMs (4.4)
Debug setting to disable resource hooking as a temporary workaround for incompatibilities with some theming engines (not all modules can be used in this mode)
There are also other improvements and fixes, especially many translations updates.
In case you get a message "Segmentation fault" during installation, you can now download an additional app which provides statically compiled versions of BusyBox (a lot bigger, but should work with every ROM). It's not needed otherwise.
Quick explanation of the safemode: It was developed by @Tungstwenty and makes it possible to disable Xposed by repeatedly pressing one of the hardware buttons during early startup. The phone will vibrate twice when the first key press has been detected. Then you have five seconds to press the same button four more times. Each key press will be confirmed with a short vibration; the final one with a long vibration. It creates /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled, which prevents most of Xposed's actions (e.g. no hooks are made and no modules are loaded). There's no 100% guarantee that this will get you out of a bootloop, but in most cases it should.
As always, you can download it via the in-app updater or from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk.
This is Xposed version 2.5.1. The changes in this version are:
Added compatibility with CM11's new theming engine
Avoid conflict with LG G2's icon theming engine
Translation updates
I would like to express my disappointment again that too many people don't even spend two minutes to read at least the last few pages of a thread before posting problems. I have invested hundreds of hours - probably even more - into developing and supporting Xposed, so it feels disrespectful for me. Users like this are the minority and many others are very supportive, but it's really annoying.
As always, you can download it via the in-app updater or from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk.
This is Xposed version 2.6 beta1. The main changes in this version are:
UI refresh using the Cards UI pattern, mainly contributed by @GermainZ
New logo, created by @DD-Ripper
Detection of several known issues, a warning with link to the FAQ item will be shown
Release type selection in the downloader (only stable version are shown by default)
Many internal improvements in the framework, e.g. better resources compatibility and performance
In case you're looking for the Xposed-*-Recovery.zip files, they are stored in a subdirectory (Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files) of the SD card now. This is the official Android API and will hopefully fix installation on some ROMs.
Also a big "thank you" to the translators, many translations have already been updated. You can see the status on the brand new translation overview page, with completion status and templates containing the strings yet to be translated: http://translate.xposed.info/
Note that I have already informed the primary translators about the upcoming version.
The full change log is on GitHub:
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/commits/master
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/commits/master
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/commits/master
You can download the beta version from this post. Keep in mind that beta versions come with a bigger risk because they aren't tested on a big variety of devices/ROMs yet.
This is Xposed version 2.6 (final). The main changes in this version are:

Fixed a crash with some apps (Disa, Rdio)
Some minor UI improvements
A few translation updates

As always, you can download it via the in-app updater or from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk.
I updated the main thread to indicate that the primary Xposed app is no longer in active development, and that EdXposed and LSPosed are the spiritual successors to Xposed and support the Xposed framework modules.
When xposed support 7.1 lineage OS?
If you oftenly visits xda-developers, you might noticed that it also hosts the official thread for Xposed.
Before I give you the proper response of suggesting you to check the official thread, you might be interested of what's the latest post of the thread:

Please, the search bar exist there not just for decoration.
THIS IS NOT MY WORK.
The original developers can be found HERE. All credits to them.
I wanted to share this sound mod with you with a minor adjustment. The only adjustment I have made to the zip file is to modify which packages that should be installed. This can be altered to your own needs, but I wanted to share one that works with AOSP on Nougat. This should work on Oreo as well, both 32 and 64-bit.
What is included in this repacked version:
Magnum Opus Core module
Magisk Module
ViPER4Arise™ 2.3.4.0 module
Dolby Digital Plus™ module
Sony™ Xperia XZ Music Suite module
AOSP MusicFX module
Please give a thumbs up in the original thread if you find it useful.
For further adjustments or questions see the original thread.

Installation instructions:
Download
Install - You will encounter "Error 1" and the installation stops. This is to create the required files for the next step.
Install again.
Done!
Wait, what exactly is the point of this zip file you've created? There's just a tiny modification you've done, which you haven't clearly explained.
You basically just reposted another thread without any proper meaning or modification. Please stop spamming the forums. Everyone knows how to download ARISE, and there's no need for a new thread about it.

Sorry I didn't know this mod existed until yesterday so I thought it was worth sharing with an even easier way of installing, so more people could enjoy this amazing mod. But that is not the case then this can be removed.
