Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
The prerequisites aren't even required. Couldn't you have simply linked to the original thread? Also, the only thing that you did to "optimize" the package was changing this line in xposed.prop from this:
version=85.7 (Systemless by topjohnwu)

Click to collapse
to
version=85.7 (Systemless by topjohnwu(for creating Systemless Xposed) and Gabbro16Hz(for improving the functioning of Xposed ze500kl))

Don't take credit, or put credit for something you didn't do. At the very least, credit the original person that did all the work
I don't think this needs any optimizations. Even the pure xposed framework is working without any modifications

Moderator Information,
Thread has been closed, taking other peoples work with out permission is against forum rules
Preface
I wanted to create this thread to replace the old, aging thread by @shrazy (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-list-modules-nougat-xposed-t3639615) and because some people wanted that, I decided to do that (But, this thread uses the old one as a template)
Please report here your tested modules, which work (or not) with official Xposed for Nougat (by @rovo89).
Links to official Xposed Nougat threads
Classic (system) version (by @rovo89): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Systemless (Magisk) version (by @topjohnwu) (v88.0+ only): https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
Here's some important stuff for one to read:
DISCLAIMER 1
You're not allowed to make reports here with Xposed Nougat releases not based on official rovo89's code (I mean the ones by PurifyOS team, abforce, topjohnwu (before v88.0) etc.).
DISCLAIMER 2
Don't report any modules, which you haven't tested yourself, as this can cause problems for other users.
DISCLAIMER 3
Please use the search function before asking, "Does (module) work?". If a module is not listed in this entire thread, please make a backup, try out the module and report back the detailed results.
DISCLAIMER 4
Xposed is in relatively early stages for Nougat, bugs are to be expected (sometimes) and will be there for sure.
Make a backup, even if this entire thread says that all of your modules are reported as working!
Note 1
I will try to keep this list updated as frequently as possible and I apologize if I miss your module(s).
Note 2
Please tell me (with a PM on XDA) about any improvements that I can make to this thread's OP
And finally, here's the module list:

Regarding Greenify, I recall the Play Store version (3.6.2) not working so well but the one from apkmirror (3.7.x) being fine.
If that's still the case, might have to mention that.

It works with version 12.41.55 (Updated 25th)! Have yet to receive your listed version.
If you can source it, 'Youtube Background Playback v2.0.4' is also working on nougat!
Also working for me are: -
XinternalSD 4.8
Xposed One Tap Video Download 5.4 (found on the playstore - youtube module not working on latest tube.)
MinMinGuard 2.0 beta5
Using LOS 14.1 on RN3 and Nexus 9 with Xposed 88.1, waiting till i update rom to use 88.2.
It would be interesting to know what modules also work on MIUI, reports of xposed installed and active but no modules working.

Here's a list of modules working for me on RR 7.1.2 Xposed 88.2 ARM (each of these worked perfectly on Xposed 88.1 as well) on my MotoG4+:
1. Appops Xposed v1.29 Beta
2. Powernap Alpha v0.8.1 (downloaded from play store)
3. Adblocker Reborn v1.8.1
4. Allmy... v0.7.4
5. Always Correct v1.0.5
6. Amplify (Donate) v4.0.1
7. AppSettings v1.15
8. Download Redirection v1.3.0.2

ALSO: Can't mirror screen over Chromecast with Xposed - not sure if it's just me. Could someone please confirm?

[MAGISK]YouTube Vanced [BLACK/DARK/WHITE THEME]This is the official magisk module for YouTube Vanced, more details can be found HERE
The module can also be found on the magisk repo (Usually not updated due to reasons)
Anyhow the download links can be found in the post below
A run down of the features:
What's in:
Completely redid video ad blocking. (This is a much better, faster and simpler)

What's Fixed:
Blocked all video ads

Fixed all known issues in themed version
If you have youtube already pre installed to system remove it completely or at the least uninstall updates.
Make sure to always use the latest version of magisk to guarantee compatibility with your device.

Any of those options.
And no, there won't be any unofficial version message.
Thank you so much for continuing this module for magisk.
I immediately downloaded it and installed it thru magisk but the YouTube app seems untouched.
I'm on the latest for me available YouTube build (12.45.56) , also the installation thru magisk 14.0 was successful.
Before installing the zip thru magisk I deactivated the YouTube app, that right? With the previous zip from the discontinued magisk module everything went fine, but now it seems there was no effect at all.
Does someone have an idea?
(OOS 4.5.14) - ARM64
Awesomesauce! New shiny thread looking all fancy. Dedicating a thread to a module that is now in official rep makes perfect sense, of course. One little thing: ZZ's profile isn't properly linked under contributors. Any reason why "Automatically parse links in text" was turned off?

I couldn't decide who to leave as a contributor with no power so uh since he has the root thread I thought it was only fair
Perfect I just uninstalled all previous modules on magisk manager then flashed latest version via TWRP and everything works superb.
Just one final doubt. Does it block updates or will it update to the "official" YouTube app when there's an update?

Well I can't disable automatic updates only for YouTube app. There is no 3 dotted icon just the search button.
Guess I'll have to disable automatic updates for all apps.
Or is it possible to Detach?

Just rooted my P4 XL - What "bloat" to remove and what new stuff to install?
Hello everyone,
I have been rocking my Nexus 6P for quite some time now but I am running out of space and it was time to get a 3rd battery replacement.
So I decided to get the Pixel 4 XL Clear White with 128GB. Ordered at christmas, received yesterday, rooted today
Usually I would always go with DirtyUnicorn ROM + Kernel but that one hasn't been released yet for the Pixel 4 XL and I am not sure if it is even worth it at this point.
So what I am trying to do is to stay with OEM ROM + Kernel + Root and see if that gets me satisfied.
How ever, DirtyUnicorns bringt optimiations and lets me have the option to install Android at its relatively bare minimum to only add and install what I need and want.
This means I need to:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
I am trying to make a list for all three categories and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
- Android Accessibility Suite
- Android Auto (?)
- Calculator
- Chrome (I use Chrome Beta)
- Compass
- Data Transfer Tool
- Digital Wellbeing
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- Google News
- Google One
- Google Play Movies & TV
- Google Play Services for AR
- Google Podcassts
- Google Support Services
- Keep Notes
- Photos
- Pixel Launcher
- Pixel Live Wallpaper
- Pixel Tips
- Playground
- Sound Amplifier
- Youtube Music
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
- So far I am not sure if there is anything that really needs to be optimized.
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
- Adaway
- OverrideDNS seems obsolete since Android 10 lets me set my own DNS for all connections
- Bluebox Trust Manager (to remove ****ty certificates)
- Viper4Android
- Display color calibration (is that even possible with Ambient Display Color?)
I used to root my device for roms and kernels before, but with Pixels I prefer stay on stock.
It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster
- Some magisk modules like gms optimization for play services
- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth
Other tweaks:
- Adaway
- Product sans font everywhere (sound silly but I can't go back to roboto after using this)
- Viper4android
- Immersive navbar (hide black navigation bar and make gesture's pill above the content)
- youtube vanced
- gpay sqlite fix
That's it. Small little tweaks here and there and nothing else.

It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster
- Some magisk modules like gms optimization for play services
- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth

That is pretty much also my plan. Do you get OTA notifications? If yes, that means I do the OTA update whenever I get notified, re-root and re-apply the custom kernel.
Offtopic: Trento is awesome. I visited it last summer

Like @TENN3R stated, there's not a lot you really need to do to improve the stock performance of the P4XL. I too use the kirisakura kernel and his magisk modules mods which gives great battery performance and stability. I also use @Tulsadiver mods for center clock and nav bar swap.
You may get the OTA notification, however you have to do a few things to get it to download and install. You'll see a couple of guides in the forum threads. Personally, I like updating the monthly releases via fastboot. Hope you enjoy your new device :good:

Yes, you get notified about updates, but when you download them the installation fails because of root (doens't even start the installation).
There are some tutorials on how to update when you're rooted, here are two ways:
- By OTA
- By fastboot, which is also the one I always go for, I heard some people have minor problems with ota sometimes, and this always worked for me since my Pixel 1.
If you choose the fastboot one, after the installation simply patch the new boot.img with magisk, flash it, reboot and if you want a custom kernel reflash it

Awesome, is there a list of "stock apps" that you removed? I recall from DirtyUnicorns that you cannot remove all stock apps. E.g. removing the "calculator" might break some stuff on Android 8 even when installing a calculator from the play store.

I actually haven't removed any of them, I simply freeze what I don't use with TiBu. Unfortunately, with the advent of A10, our system files are now read only. Which means that you can no longer remove apk's via root explorer type apps or TiBu like we did a while back. There are a few custom roms out there that apparently have debloated some things, however I haven't felt the need to try them like I once did since my device runs perfectly fine with a few mods here and there :good:

Freezing sounds also fine too me. Which ones did you freeze?
@Utini
If i understand you wrong sry but when i see your lists in the OP it seems to me that you nearly want everything away from Gapps and Google Play Services.
For @TENN3R the stock rom is already clean but for me a clean system means pure AOSP so no Gapps at all. I don't how much you rely on Play Services and Gapps but why don't try a pure aosp rom as phhussons quack vanilla version?
Sry when this is Off Topic.

Where are you finding Product Sans In the Fontio Substratum app?
I like to stay on the stock launcher myself, and actually don't even limit data and restrict battery for apps anymore (used to for most things). 10 seems to be pretty on point with not letting apps drain your battery. I haven't noticed much difference from restricting apps versus not.
Anyway, root apps I use:
SD Maid for cleaning system/app cache
DarQ - Lets you use the force dark mode feature from dev options, but on a per app basis. I can't live without this one.
Pixel Launcher Mods (the app) - Lets you change icons using packs found on play. Also has a few other tweaks like system tuner.
Swift Backup
Viper4Android. Also can't live without this.
Kirisakura kernel
Rosemary font - @Tulsadiver has been kind enough to make some font magisk modules
Terminal
EX Kernel Manager

Is it possible do you think to open the ota. Take the boot.img out. Install magisk like you would when rooting and change the name back to boot.img. reinstall it in the ota and install the ota normally?

which optimization magisk modules are you using? I used to have GMS optimization, but what else do you use?
Also I use active edge mod, pixel 4 tele extender, p4 gcam mod, and ainur narsil sound mod + viper

If you've downloaded and extracted an OTA, you won't find a "boot.img" You'll see what's called power.bin, which I assume contains the boot.img, however, there is no image to extract. You'll need to pull the boot.img from the factory image.zip
Personally, I only update via fastboot with factory images. For me, it's the easiest, most reliable way to update. After 4+ years of doing it that way, this ol dog ain't a changing :good:
