Xposed for P9: which version actually works? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone. I own an Eva L09C432B182, I kept it fully stock for a couple of months and today I finally decided to root it and install xposed. While unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP and flashing SuperSu 2.79 went flawlessly, I completely failed getting Xposed working. Or at least, almost all the modules I tried don't work. And the theme engine is also broken.
Now, as the title says, which version and which installation procedure actually works? I tried the latest version of standard Xposed by Rovo, the one modded by Wanam, and Magisk. The first two install correctly but modules don't work, while Magisk gives an error while installing so I didn't go further with it.
Modules I have tried that DO NOT work:
-youtube background playback
-youtube ads blocked
-no lock home
-min min guard
I consider myself very lucky not to have ended up in a bootloop or in a brick thus far. Before doing anything stupid or giving up, your help is more than welcome.

[Q] Has anyone successfully installed the Xposed Alpha on Lolipop 5.1?

I tried once and the phone was able to boot but my Google Services kept crashing upon loading the apps, but I am not sure if that was because I disabled some of the system apps (probably was honestly), thankfully I made a TWRP backup after rooting and was able to restore my phone, but since the FXZ hasn't been released yet for 5.1 I am hesitant to try again if nobody else has gotten it to work...
Has anyone had any success with installing the latest Xposed Alpha while on Lolipop 5.1?
Edit: Meh, screw it, trying again, I'll keep you guys updated on my progress...
Edit2: Booted up fine with no Google Services errors but complained about a modules.list file while initializing the framework so I am re-installing and wiping cache
Edit3: Same error, so I downloaded a module, enabled it and rebooted my phone
Edit4: After another lengthy optimization process... still doesn't work, stuck on Xposed initializing, downloaded a new version made on 6/24 and trying that with a cache wipe
Edit5: Still doesn't work, same error, stuck on "Initializing XposedBridge version 64"
Edit6: Determined to get this to work... so I uninstalled Xposed Installer alpha 3 and am using alpha 2
Edit7: After installing the older Installer alpha, I see that the framework version numbers are being reported correctly! Enabling a module and rebooting
Edit8: No crash for the test module, rebooting with GravityBox and XGels for a final test before confirming that it works
Edit9: Works like a charm! I'll post a tutorial in the general section on how to get it working
I got it working about two weeks ago, was working fine. I ended up flashing to the backup before xposed because some of the modules weren't working yet in lollipop and others that were, the custom rom that I'm running already covered the same thing in settings

Installed yesterday, the alpha 2 worked fine here as well, but I only use GravityBox.
theres already a FXZ/SBF http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/official-xt1058ghostretbr5-1-fxz-sbf-rom-t3144161/page2, its for the XT1058 Brazillian retail though.

Xposed and 6.0.1 Errors

So... I had my N6 on 6.0 stock with root, made room in the system to install Xposed and had GB running great. Then I got greedy and installed 6.0.1, made room in system again and installed Xposed - on reboot I get constant NFC service errors and the phone is unusable. Go back to 6.0 and it works great. Tried installing a debloated stock 6.0.1 rom, w/ system-less root and get the same result after flashing Xposed.
Any insight? Tried searching with no results.
Seems like the issue was with the new root method. My solution was to remove the new root method using Update-unSU and then flash the Su2.52.zip. Xposed seems to be working fine now.

I am using sytemless root on 6.0.1 with xposed and don't have these issues
OK... The problem is back.
I was on 6.0.1 stick firmware - rooted with SU2.52 - removed the foreign language keyboards to make enough room in system to install the xposed framework (sdk78_arm version) - rebooted and get NFC services errors and phone is frozen.
Loaded the 6.0.1 lite rom - used unSU - installed SU2.52 and xposed and same result/error.
Loaded the 6.0.1 lite rom - left the system less root - installed xposed and same thing again.
Anyone have thoughts? I swear I am not that much of a newb but I can't figure this out. Even tried downloading a fresh copy of xposed but same thing.

It is most likely not updated to work with those root methods yet. With the updates in security each android update is gonna need xposed to be updated. Even to the point that it may stop working all together. So I would get used to not having it to be honest. It is only a matter of time before it stops working all together.
Same issue happening to me, all roads pointing to systemless root. I'm sure Rovo will update. I'm using SuperSu v2.6.2r3 btw
Try to do factory reset throughout TWRP.
I had same problem yesterday. After I installed xposed framework, I could not use my phone due to NFC service error popup message. But now, everything seems okay after factory reset. - no more error message.

Cannot install any apps after installing Xposed framework (-504 error in Google Play)

A few days ago I posted a question about not being able to install any Xposed modules here, so far no one answered: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-framework-installed-running-t3567230
I thought this problem had something to do with the modules specifically, but it turns out that on my phone, for whatever reason, installing the framework subsequently prevents ALL apps from installing, even those from Google Play itself, displaying a "-504" error.
I see people have asked this question before, but are also not getting answers: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/install-apps-installing-framework-t3430922
Please, if anyone has any idea of why this can be and how to fix it, let me know. Any help will be infinitely appreciated!
What phone and ROM are you using?
One thing you could try is to install systemless Xposed through Magisk. Then use MagiskHide to hide both root and Xposed from all Google apps and potential sources of conflict. If it's a software limitation/conflict, this may be a workaround.
Keep in mind that you will have to root your phone with Magisk rather than SuperSU or any other form of root.

Hey, thank you for your answer!
I am using a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, rom is 26.1.A.1.112 Latin America Generic. It is rooted and with TWRP installed accroding to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-e2306-m4-aqua-guide-t3270521
I also have a locked bootloader, and it cannot be unlocked, so unfortunately that shuts the door on most rooting options.
I never heard of Magisk before, but from what I'm seeing, it looks it TWRP is required to get root with Magisk, but some kind of root is already required on my phone in order to get TWRP. So I'm not sure how to go about this.
If your phone is already rooted, then you can download Magisk Manager application and have it installed it's necessary frameworks through the app itself. You won't be able to use Magisk's root, but you'll still be able to install systemless Xposed and hide it from other apps.
Edit: Ignore all of that actually, I just realized that magisk requires boot image modifications so you have to have an unlocked bootloader to use it.

Oh well, thanks anyway. I might try it anyways, maybe it will work, you never know. Don't have much to lose at this point

FIY Magisk cannot hide Xposed...
I also facing these problem on my rooted Asus zenfone 2 (ze550ml 2gb ram version, Stock ROM, bootloader unlocked) and Asus Zenpad C 7 (p01y, stock rom, bootloader unlocked). The xposed firmware (version 86) is successfully install but can't install any apps from play store and using apk...
I really hope that dev team can solve it.....
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes....
The only way is to flash the firmware
I'm getting the same problem on my LG G4 with v88.2 of Xposed :/
I don't Know if this is too late,but I also have this problem. But there is a work around, go into the xposed installer and turn the switch off so its disabled on the next boot. rebot the device and exposed and its modules are disabled, allowing you to install apps from play store and downloaded .apk files... it would still be nice to install applications while its still on.

I had this issue on my LGG3. This happens when you have Lucky Patcher enabled in your xposed modules. Disabling it (Lucky Patcher) should solve the problem.

Magisk 11.1 and ViperOne M9 ROM issues - lost root

Hi guys - I'm having trouble with the latest version of Magisk...
My ROM - ViperOne M9 (for HTC One M9) - comes packaged with Magisk 10.6 and phh's Superuser, and it seems to work ok out of the box. However, I can't get it to pass SafetyNet checks with HideMagisk enabled, which is an annoyance as I can't use certain apps (no, NOT Pokemon GO FYI ). The Magisk Manager was advising to update itself, which I thought might help - so I did. After a reboot I have now lost root on my device, and cannot get it back.
A knock-on effect seems to have taken out phh's Superuser too, as it now complains of out-of-date binaries when the phone boots up, and I'm not getting any permission requests any more. I tried revoking Magisk's permissions, but it never tried requesting them again.
I flashed the phone using the latest TWRP, and my firmware and bootloaders are up to date also.
Not sure whats going on here - any ideas?
I could re-flash the phone, as I did a complete wipe earlier today to update ViperOne to the latest version (version 6.00) - so it's not a major headache, and should give me root back. But then I'm back to a broken hide-root/SN bypass. Again, this isnt a major problem since I'm used to not using those apps - but it would be nice to have.
Cheers.
Guys, managed to resolve my problem.
I downloaded the latest ZIP for Magisk 11.6 and phh Superuser, and flashed using TWRP. Rebooted, and all working!!
Also FWIW, I solved the problem with SN failing.... well I installed Magisk 11.6 and the work you guys did obviously did it for me, so thank you!

[Q] Can't really activate any modules

Hi all,
I have a problem. I'm using an OnePlus 5 and I can't use Xposed. I have just tried those 2 things. I have magisk updated to 14.0
1) I installed the version 09-09-2017 by dvdandroid, then I installed 26-07-17 v87 sdk25 by PurifyOs, all seems OK xposed tells that is installed and working, so I try to download some modules, activate them, reboot, but when I try to use them they tell me "please activate the module", I tryed clearing cache and dalvik, reinstalling so many times but nothing.
2) So I removed the PurifyOs one, and wanted to try to install the systemless one. I open Xposed, press install, it auto flashes from TWRP but there is a message error "dev/magisk/mirror/bin is not setup properly". So I try to download it as a module from magisk, try to install but gives the same error.
Can you help me? Thanks

Having the same issue on Oneplus 5 running android 7.1.1.
Any solutions?

I couldn't activate any modules either, even though framework was green/good.
I re-installed my ROM and re-did the Xposed setup, ensuring I was using the CORRECT files.
Such as for Magisk Xposed vs. non-Magisk Xposed.
It's working now.

If ur on oos with encryption, you need to soft reboot the phone before the modules work.

Already tried, nothing happened
I'm not sure how the OnePlus works in comparison to my Moto G4, but I had the same problem with 7.1.x. I couldn't get Xposed to work on any roms running Nougat. Went and installed an AOSP marshmallow rom and Xposed is working very well. My advice would be to downgrade to marshmallow. It's definitely worth the Xposed compatibility because even if you do get that aspect of it going, many modules don't support nougat yet. I was reluctant when I first heard this, but I' don't regret my decision at all. I'm running 12 modules right now with no issues at all and loving it. Hope this helps.
