I was rooted on my Verizon non-DE 4.4 Moto X, and kept delaying the 4.4.2 OTA. I had rooted with slapmymoto and MotoWPNoMo. Last night, drunk, I guess I accepted it at some point. It looks like MotoWPNoMo worked as advertised, and I still have root access (at least verified with the Root Checker app). But Xposed is not working (it was with 4.4). It says "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?" I've done that many times, I've uninstalled and reinstalled rebooting multiple times through out the process. I'm not entirely sure if the problem is with root, or Xposed, or what. I've tried installing the Xposed 2.5 b1 apk with no success.
Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Edit: Changes to /system stick after a soft reboot. So a workaround for now, is "Installing/Updating" the Xposed framework, then canceling the alert asking to reboot and insteading choosing a soft reboot. This keeps Xposed loaded up and Gravity Box works upon the reboot. A little annoying, but not to bad to have to do each time I rarely, if ever, let my phone die/restart...
You have root, but Write protection is enabled. Anytime you reboot, root is broken. You can do rooted stuff, and when you reboot its all wiped again.
So you have root, but its near useless.
Any more info you need can be found with a search. Tonnes of discussion about this already in the threads.

Ok thanks for the reply, but I though MotoWpNoMo killed write protection permanently?

The 4.4.2 update puts write protection firmly back in place. So far, unless your device is unlocked, I haven't seen any way to remove write protection.
Thanks, reading the Xposed thread I was able to find a workaround. The changes to /system stick during a soft reboot... so "Installing/Updating" the Xposed framework, then canceling the alert asking if I'd like to reboot and insteading choosing a soft reboot, keeps Xposed loaded up and Gravity Box works upon reboot.

You're welcome.
Of course, you could always unlock your phone and not have to worry about write protection anymore.
Hi all!
I wonder if anyone managed to install Xposed & Xprivacy on Lollipop? I tried to install xposed, flashed it through the recovery, restarted the phone which was apparently working fine. I installed then the xposed module manager, it was saying that xposed was installed. I restarted the phone and this time I had a bootloop.
So my question is, has anyone succeeded?
Thanks
Bootlooping

No luck... even with unlocked BL, Root, and the new Xposed 3.0 alpha3 (xposed-sdk21-arm-20150426.zip)...
Exact same symptoms. Everything else works, but only xprivacy causes the loop...
Anyone else have luck?
Well the développer of xprivacy said that it triggers a bug in xposed and that it cannot do anything before xposed gets updated (which can take time as the xposed developer only works on it as a leisure)

I've tried installing Xposed several times now with no luck. I install in TWRP, reboot, and then my phone sits on a black screen with the blue light for forever until it goes to the Sprint LTE logo and then just stops there. I end up having to shut my phone down (which won't happen unless it's plugged in to charge), go back into TWRP, and then use the Xposed uninstaller. Then when I reboot, everything loads back up perfectly. I don't really know what's causing this? I apologize as I'm kind of a noob to rooting & such.
I have a Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920P on Android 6.0.1. Any advice?
(The only reason I really wanted to get Xposed is so I could install a module to bypass the root status for Snapchat...lol)

If you running stock 6.0.1 and not a CM ROM you need the specialized one for Samsung. Check this thread:

Don't forget after flashing it you should wipe caches, and it will take a little while to boot the first time after flashing Xposed

The file you sent worked great still can't get into Snapchat though, but that's another issue. RootCloak doesn't do anything for it.

Suhide hides root from snapchat, but Snapchat doesn't want you to have Xposed. There is a work around involving backing up app data on an unrooted, no Xposed phone and restoring that app data on rooted and Xposed phone

I have tried several things and have been unable to get Snapchat to login. I have a backup of a logged in Snapchat from an unrooted device and when I install it onto my rooted phone, the app just logs me out.

Maybe remove Xposed, then unroot, root systemless(at least SR2), root switch, then turn off root and login. Once logged in turn root back on and install Xposed. Should work

I'll try that. I flashed from Odin to wipe everything off and Snapchat works, but I don't have TWRP anymore. Even without Xposed and root, even when I JUST had TWRP, Snapchat wouldn't let me log in. But I'll try what you told me and hope it works

So after a bunch of trouble with my phone, I'm left with what I can only assume are leftover files of Xposed that I didn't get off my phone when I flashed the uninstall file. I'm not rooted and only have TWRP, but Snapchat still refuses to let me login.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know how many of you ditched the Xposed on marshmallow for the latest 7.1.1 Android based oxygenos?
Since we don't know when nougat will be supported by xposed, is staying on marshmallow worth it?
Even though most of the modules I use are more or less esthetical, there's one thing I can't live without - youtube background playback and ad block.
Share your thoughts!
Xposed over any OS without Xposed. I have never even flashed Nouget because I know its just a waste of time for me. Ive been on cm13 since the day it came out. DEC 11 2016.
If all you need is the youtube modules, there's modded youtube apps out now with adblock and background playback. Check it out here.
I've also packaged the app in a convenient Magisk module, which you can find here.
It works exactly like the xposed-modified YouTube app, but it works on Nougat.

Hey Anova, what is this Magisk thingy you're talking about?
Also... For me The most important is gravitybox then come youtube modules and mock mock locations.
You think it's worth the upgrade? I personally never had a phone that would get updates so quickly or even at all. So I have no idea what to expect.. Would I have to reroot, reinstall recovery or it's all a piece of cake and only the exposed won't affect anything? Lemme know.

Magisk is a framework that allows you to make temporary changes to your /system partition at boot, without actually modifying the partition. It works by superimposing user-defined changes to files in /system during boot; changes are reverted to their stock state afterwards. These user-defined changes are loaded into Magisk through Magisk modules. While a lot of people may think it's similar to Xposed, they're really nothing alike. I mentioned Magisk for the YouTube app because it is merely convenient. You could manually replace the YouTube APK in system without any additional software, but Magisk will do it for you while applying all the correct permissions, etc. As a bonus, Magisk also includes its own rooting method that works, for the most part, as well as SuperSU. This means that you can flash only Magisk to root your phone (flashing SuperSU is optional and is really based on personal preference, Magisk will work with SuperSU if you flash that first).
Because of what Magisk is and how it works, it is not able to modify your device in the same way that Xposed can. This means that mods like gravitybox and mock mock locations cannot be implemented with Magisk. Technically, all Magisk modules can be installed without Magisk by manually editing/replacing things in the /system partition. What is special about it is that Magisk does these things systemlessly, meaning that (with the proper configurations), you can modify /system without triggering safetynet.
For the modified YouTube app I was talking about, that was actually modded and compiled as a stand-alone APK by someone on XDA. It does not alter your current YouTube app, but rather outright replaces it.
As for upgrading to Nougat, it's really up to personal choice. I personally never used Xposed for anything other than YouTube Adaway and Background Playback, and to top it off I rarely use YouTube on my phone anyways so upgrading was an easy choice for me. If you do end up wanting to upgrade, do the following:
1) Download the full ROM of whatever version of OOS you want to use (4.1.0 is the latest, on Android 7.1.1). Do not use the "Upgrade Phone" option in settings if you are already rooted or have modified anything in your /system partition, as it will cause problems.
2) Flash the full zip in TWRP, wipe cache/Dalvik, then immediately flash the latest Magisk.zip (from the main Magisk thread on XDA)
3) Boot, then download Magisk Manager from the Play Store
At this point, Magisk will have been fully installed and your phone should be rooted. You can confirm through the Magisk Manager app

Thanks for such a detailed description of everything! You're the best! I seriously decided to upgrade tomorrow.
Just last couple questions before I do... Should I delete anything? Like xposed itself with it's modules, or does the system upgrade wipe everything itself? Should I perform any backups other than usual titanium ones?
Thanks in advance

You should delete the Xposed modules prior to updating, as they are saved as user apps and will not be wiped with an upgrade. Delete the Xposed framework app as well for the same reason. Updating should erase all of the background stuff that the Xposed originally installed in /system. Take a nandroid prior to updating just in case.

Indeed I will miss gravitybox. But if there is any other way to make my buttons do what I like which is (on the left - menu button with double tap for previous app/ home is home and recents on long press / right is back.)
Other than that it's all purely visual enhancement such as perfect color bar, media visualizer, and ****.
On the other hand I've just encountered a slight difficulty... Magisk won't work properly if I had Supersu previously installed, right?

That's what I wanna find out. I wanna see what's the new Android about. And I'm sure rovo will find a solution soon. And we will see xposed for nougat.
GravityBox is terrible and has slowed down every phone it's ever been put on (from my experience).
Xposed is a hack and it's shameful how it's holding back advancement.
Nougat > any hack

Most of that is either completely unnessecary, pointless, or magisk can do it if people start developing for it. I have none of it (except no ads on youtube and the ability to turn off the screen) and i am completely fine. I think you tell yourself you need all that stuff but you actually don't, staying versions behind on the OS for it seems stupid.

Well that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I've noticed the total opposite across several devices. I always try Xposed on a new phone and I always massively dislike the way it works. Intercepting code that was not supposed to be intercepted just adds overhead. There's a good reason AOSP devs will refuse to look at any bug report that has Xposed in the logs.
EDIT:
Anyway, the battery savings from Nougat are too good to pass over. The only thing I need to customise on my phone is having the Google Dialer, and AdAway, whilst still keeping SafetyNet as passing, which Magisk does perfectly.

Exactly, unless you use every setting on GravityBox then it's not entirely necessary, yet even if those functions are off or there are features of GravityBox you don't use, their code is still run. The bigger it gets the more the overhead there is. If you don't use, say, the network speed monitor, it's hook is still active. I could be wrong, but last time I dabbled with Xposed, this was the case.
If anything, smaller more granular modules would be better for GB. One module for network speed. One module for changing the on-screen buttons, etc. That way you only install modules that you use, rather than a whole library of them where you might only use 2-3 of the actual features.
My apologies, but I'm overwhelmed by installing Xposed on Nougat and I'd like some help from a kind soul.
I'm running Android 7.0 on an LG G5 RS988, and have root and superuser access, with TWRP.
I've installed the Xposed Installer provided by dvdandroid (XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid_09_09_17.apk)
...then used that to flash install the framework by PurifyOS (26-07-17-xposed-v87-sdk24-Xposed-by-PurifyOS.zip).
Unfortunately on the homescreen of the Installer, I get the message "installed, but not active".
The log includes a lot of information about java.lang.ClassNotFoundException errors for com.android.internal.policy.impl.GlobalActions
I'm unsure of how to proceed, out of ignorance. I don't understand the role of Magisk (or what it is), how Nougat works relative to Xposed, or basically anything that's happened with Xposed since Marshmallow. I've read the threads and unfortunately am still confused.
Could someone please help me out?
@mean_liar you can ask dvdandroid and send him a log with the xposed error i think it can be a sdk issue and he'll might send u a zip with the files he wants u to test

I revisited the problem, uninstalled, cleared cache, reinstalled... now it is activated and installed, but the modules don't seem responsive regardless of activation.
I'm going to sit on this a day, take some time, and figure out if I should be trying Magisk or not.

Try http://www50.zippyshare.com/v/B04DN0DB/file.html
And select the sdk-23 apk there seems to be a bug if a higher sdk is set
Also clear dalvik-cache it should help you.
