Hello
I'm a little confused about xposed and modules on stock rom for Galaxy S5. May be someone can answer my questions.
I rooted my G900F, Marschmallow 6.0.1 and installed TWRP. Then I installed Xposed Framework V89. On my phone is the stock rom installed. I used Touchwiz UI, but changed to Nova launcher.
Now, I read warnings about bootloops while using Xposed with Samsung devices. I wonder if this affects my device too.
1. Since I use Nova Launcher, is Touchwiz still an possible issue?
2. Is Xposed by itself the 'danger' part or are it the modules? So far I installed one module. Everything works fine.
3. When I open Xposed Installer version 89 there is a warning: There seems to be a known Issue (Samsung Touchwiz Rom) with your Rom. Install Xposed might not work or lead to severe problems.
If my phone is affected, what is the best possible way to avoid potential issue? I red there are unofficial Xposed versions which are modified for samsung stock roms. But I couldn't find any.
Others say, newer version are fine for my phone.

Nova launcher it's just a launcher, samsung phones ARE touchwiz, not the launcher itself.
Xposed it's the dangerous part, since it's something that edits your phone. Obliviously, if you install incompatible modules that hurts too, just pay attention to install compatible ones.
With a 5sec. search, you can find this thread.
I don't know if newer versions of official xposed are compatible with touchwiz roms, but in this thread there are the unofficial versions that are 100% compatible with yours, just read and download the correct zip.

Thank you. Very helpful.
On the thread you linked is an download link. The latest version is xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip
That's exactly the version I installed first. Later I updated it trough the xposed installer to version 89. Should I rather downgrade to the v87.1 version, or is the new installed 89version a custom build by wanam anyway?
I couldn't figure out which version (modified or not) is right now installed.

Edit: Since couldn't find a newer version than xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip, I downgraded back to this version. Now I leave it as it is.

And the last questions. When I got the correct custom Xposed framework, can modules still screw up my phone?

I'm not sure about the update. But the "normal" version should not even let your samsung phone boot up, so if it works it's ok.
Modules are not related to the official or unofficial version, I mean if you install for example gravitybox it explicitly says: "not try on touchwiz roms"
That's what I mean. Usually informations like this are in the description in the xda thread so you should be able to understand which is good for you and which not.
To add to that, in the Xposed installer, Download section, you can do searches.
Search for touchwiz or samsung to get some results that may let you know if certain modules are for, compatible with, or not for your setup.
The module descriptions in the installer are similar to the OPs of the various module threads. Might make it a little easier initially to get an overview. Then you can go to various module threads if you have questions concerning them.

Hello everybody, I am Brazilian and I had a very strange problem on my phone after installing GravityBox module. Well, GravityBox is not working until I install Framework for recovery, after that, I managed to open it, but unexpected things occurred in my smarphone. Once opened, the notification bar Transparante was a very strange way and my phone stopped recognize yourself the network ad-hoc wifi I created in my windows.
I believe the bug occurs because of my rom, as I use a galaxy, it came with a TouchWiz.
If they can give me more information, I will be grateful!
Note: Ignore my English, I know it's horrible.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Gran Prime Duos, SM-G530BT model, we can suggest me one custom rom, I'll be even more grateful!
Please, if this is the wrong area to the topic, excuse me.
You must install Xposed before installing any modules like GravityBox. I don't know what will happen if you do it backwards, but it could be bad.
Also, in order to use Xposed at all on that device, you must have a deodexed ROM and use one of the unofficial versions of Xposed.
What ROM do you have (including version number)? What exact Xposed files did you install, what recovery did you use, and how did you do it? Were there any error messages during installation? Are there any error messages in the Xposed log? What version of GravityBox did you install?
Have you tried uninstalling GravityBox, and reinstalling it correctly through Xposed?
Last I heard Samsung and touchwiz needs a special version.
From the Gravity Box thread:
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, ETC... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

So if you want to use Gravity Box it would be better if you had an AOSP rom but you have a Samsung phone so I don't think you will find one...
Is there any way to do this? The checkboxes to enable/disable them are grayed out in Xposed Installer, and trying to change it via enabled_modules.xml doesn't work.

With only those vague information, nobody might help you. What Android version are you using? What device? Which version of Xposed have you installed?

According to your specifications, you will need to install the official version of Xposed by rovo89 from this thread. I would recommend to install the Xposed v80 version, since v81 and all other versions above introduced a new created API, so modules might crash.
Flash v80 (SDK23 for Android 6) and install the XposedInstaller_v3.0_alpha4.apk and report back.
Hmm, strange.
For some reason, when I removed safe mode, it booted up normally without any of the modules working (some module is causing bootloop, idk what one). I can now disable specific modules, without having to go to safemode.
Its a strange workaround, but it works.
Thank you for your help anyways.
Hi guys
I need some help to install xposed installer on my device i try all the possible methods to install but it doesn't work. I already flash the xposed-v86-sdk21-arm framework but when the phone boot the screen is frozen on samsung logo so i restore my data again, i feel the framework is not compatible with my device .
Steps done:
My device rooted with superSU
Teamwin recovery available
Installed xposed installer apk
Phone module: samsung A300f
Cpu: armeabi-v7a
Android 5.0.2
Hope you guys give me some tips to solve this problem and thank you.
READ the official post for xPosed, it's spelled out in big red letters that official doesn't work on Samsung touchwiz. You need a special modified version. You found the xPosed general board (it's where you posted this thread) it is easy from that spot to find what you need. Search lollipop samsung xPosed find the one of the two existing xPosed forks that works with 5.0.x
hey

thanks for replay, i tried today to flash deodex'ed rom but it doesn't work because it's to old and samsung released an update last time, so is there another method to install rovo official xposed ?
or is there any rom can work with rovo official xposed?
The only ROMs that will work with Rovo xPosed would be non-touchwiz based, such as CM (which can have its own issues with xPosed). But you really need to ask these questions of samsung users. There are a ton on deodexed ROM many are just stock touchwiz that have been deodexed. Part of having root and xPosed means not always having the latest OEM android version. I'm sure somebody in the correct thread (Arter or Wanam) can point you at the ROM they use.
thanks
thank u again Nergal I'm really appreciate your replays i already try out some rom's right now hopefully it's work
..
solved
hey guys xposed work right now
i install marshmallow "unofficial" and then the xposed framework flashed correctly
thanks
Hello,
I seem to have installed Xposed successfully, because in the Xposed app it says, I have installed Xposed Framework v89 successfully.
however it does not seem to work.
I have installed the Module MinMinGuard and it says Xposed is not enabled.
How can I verify if it works or not?
I installed the official Xposed Version.
I remember, that some time in the past I had to install wanams Version for Xposed to works, but since I can only find old Versions, I would like to use the official version.
How can I get it to work?
I use Resurrection Remix ROM v5. 8.2, which is Nougat 7.1.1
Thanks

The exposed installer app main screen will tell you if the exposed framework itself is active or not. After installing MinMin guard did you reboot. Also in installer menu under modules make sure the module is checked then reboot.

Yes, I rebooted.
I have now uninstalled MinMinGuard, but I can not install it again.
It download the addon, but when the download has finished, there is no button to install it, like there used to be.
Does the official Xposed work with a S5 and my CustomROM or only wanams Version?
If I remember correctly, in the past I was only able to install wanams version, but it seems to be outdated by now.
I also get a notification, that I have to update Xposed, but I don't know where to find a newer Version

I am using official rovo's ver 89 on stock 7.0 rom with no issues. I believe exposed is more firmware and architecture related rather than device(with exceptions of course).
As to to custom ROMs I am not sure as I having only used stock ROMs but there are threads here on XDA for your rom. If exposed was not going to work on your device I would think you would know about it.
MimMin Guard(ver 2.0.2) is working for me. I have only been using it for a short time (running 2 other ad blockers as well) have noticed that there are no notifications to say if it is blocking or not unless you open app up and scroll through app lists.
When downloading modules is complete it installs automatically then should tell you to reboot.
Not to sound like a broken record but remember when un/installing reboot.
I believe wanums versions are for Samsung devices on lollipop/marshmellow.
As to updates as far as I know there are none yet for nougat unless you have magisk version or an unofficial version.
Link below is for minmin guard thread for more info
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-minminguard-v1-7-0-cancelled-t2597332/page191
Edit: Sorry just realized yes it does come up with install option. Sounds like you only disabled the module and not uninstalled it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8 using XDA Labs
I did remove MinMinGuard completely.
Now I've found out, that I can no longer install any Xposed addon.
It seems to download the addons, but it won't install.
Also I always get a notification, that I need to update Xposed...
I'll try remove and reinstall Xposed.

What version of exposed installer are you on.
Latest version is 3.1.5
Edit: You could also try clearing data and cache in your app settings.

Most modules are not upgraded since year 2013 ? Is it safe to use same ?
https://www.xda-developers.com/best-xposed-modules/
Most modules are not upgraded since ages ?
Yet the thread is posted as latest 2018 best modules ?
Tried all and mobile wont boot now.. lol..
I have results of latest modules displayed on the post, but not yet upgraded since ages.
Except greenfly or few.. Though listed..
Are these modules still safe to use with latest technology ?
Thanks,
Request reply from advanced person and request to pin after my reply.
I still love XDA but a question.
Noone on XDA team to reply same ?
ITs weird.. ?
Made other replies in respective topics..
But that is xposed and still xposed ?
UHHH..
It really depends on what Android version are you using.
Sometimes even if the modules are really old they still works.
You can try install them one by one, so if you end up in a bootloop you know exactly what module caused it.
In case of bootloop if you're using Xposed systemless just uninstall xposed module from recovey (with uninmod or magisk mm) and delete the xposed apps once it boots with xposed disabled
If you're using system version of xposed, browse from twrp to the modules folder and delete the module by hand
Or just search on xda, there are threads where people post which module works on each version of Android

Safe?? In general, yes. Module specific - no different than the day module was born.
Stability is a completely different animal with numerous variables in play using "latest technology". Do your homework; seek community input on modules in question. Know how to recover from module failures and bootloops. Maybe consider a backup; I heard they're a good idea.
