[GUIDE] Install Xposed Framework across ROMs (MIUI / Custom / KK / LL / MM)

Hello All,
I have seen posts across forum seeking support for installing Xposed Framework for our phone - Redmi 2 (wt88047).
For a new person it can be indeed confusing as Xposed files vary depending upon Android version (different for Android 5.0/5.1/6.0) as well as vary depending upon processor (different for arm, arm64, x86)
Hence this guide, following which one can easily find, download and install right version of Xposed Framework and can start enjoying various xposed modules.
Prerequisite is to have rooted phone with Custom Recovery (TWRP / CWM).
Now there are two variants of Xposed Framework. To get more insights pls read further else move to Step 1
1) Official release by rovo89 which works fine for ROMs like CM, AOSP and others based on CM, AOSP etc. Unfortunately this official version doesn't work with MIUI
2) Unofficial release by SolarWarez which is tweaked to work for MIUI devices. This works perfectly well for MIUI ROMs (including stock rom loaded on our phone as well as other custom MIUI versions like one from xiaomi.eu)
While I have linked to the original threads for the two xposed variants, it can be still confusing as there are total of 9 files (3 android versions multiplied by 3 processor types). Our device Redmi 2, though has 64-bit processor but all ROMs are 32 bit only. Hence we need to get arm files.
STEP 1 - Downloading the right type of files
File No. 1: XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk from here
File No. 2: Xposed*.zip (version 86 for all except MIUI Kitkat) installation file from below depending upon ROM type. For v87 go to next post below.
For devices running MIUI ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):
Xposed 2.6.1 for MIUI based on Android 4.4.X
SDK21 for MIUI based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)
SDK22 for MIUI based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)
SDK23 for MIUI based on Android v6.0 (Marshmallow)​
For devices running CM, AOSP or other similar Custom ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):
SDK21 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)
SDK22 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)
SDK23 for Custom ROM based on Android v6.0 (Lollipop)​
File No. 3: Xposed-uninstaller*.zip from here to uninstall the framework.
STEP 2 Installing the files
- Install Xposed Installer apk (file no. 1)
- Copy the Xposed*.zip (file no. 2) and the Xposed-uninstaller*.zip (file no. 3) to your sdcard
- Reboot to custom recovery
- Make a nandroid backup
- Flash "xposed*.zip" through custom recovery
- Reboot and wait, it may take several minutes to boot up depending on your ROM size and installed apps amount.
If phone doesn't boot even after 5 minutes then reboot into recovery and restore by using nandroid backup or by flashing Xposed-uninstaller*.zip
That's it... In case anything fails, pls read carefully and verify that right version of xposed*.zip file has been installed.

Xposed Framework version 87
In post above, the xposed files are for version 86. But now we have v87 also available and hence sharing links for v87 in this post. This is actually file no. 2. Rest all steps as per above post.
Download Xposed*.zip (v87) from below link depending upon android version (LP, MM) and rom (MIUI / CM or AOSP) type.
For devices running MIUI ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):
SDK21 for MIUI based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)
SDK22 for MIUI based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)
SDK23 for MIUI based on Android v6.0 (Marshmallow)​
For devices running CM, AOSP or other similar Custom ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):
SDK21 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)
SDK22 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)
SDK23 for Custom ROM based on Android v6.0 (Lollipop)​

Are the issues sorted?
Best is that you can first uninstall the xposed, reboot, install xposed and then see. This should help. For me working with MIUI LP (I flashed gkalen's version)

Can please someone help me, telling me where I can find a guide to install Xposed on Oreo 8.1 or explain to me how to do the procedure?
Thanks.

For custom ROMs it's easy peasy. I use and recommend the UNITY package. Handles system or systemless. Has worked without issue on all ROMs I run. See link below. If by chance you do have problems with it just flash the installer again as it also acts as an uninstaller. Or remove it via Magisk Manager (I don't use Magisk so...).
Xposed on stock Oreo, though, may be a no go. Moto users in the Xposed Oreo thread seem to be having no luck it seems.

I tried on stock oreo 8.1 but It didn't works
Thanks anyways.

How do I install Xposed on a stock ROM?

Here are my details:
Google Pixel
Android Pie
Stock
Bootloader unlocked
I know thatXposed does not support Pie yet. So, I am willing to install Edxposed, instead, or any other fork of Xposed for Pie.
So, how do I install it? Do I download the stock ROM and modify it somehow?
All I really want is Xprivacy, so if anyone also knows of anything else like it for Pie and any custom ROM that includes said alternative, then please tell me what they are (alternative to Xposed and Pie ROM that includes it).

Installation of edxposed is done through magisk.
They are not in the download section of the magisk repo and have to be installed manually in the modules menu with the + button. You will need the 2 files to flash in magisk + the exposed installer from this thread.
If it works you will need xprivacylua ( not xprvacy) which Marcel is currently working on to improve for pie with I believe edxposed.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacylua6-0-android-privacy-manager-t3730663
As for any other xposed versions for pie I have not heard of any others
Note: edxposed does not work for me on my s8 yet so I am not sure about your pixel.

I can confirm that EdXposed works on Pixel, I have it installed.
Like how @spawnlives said, the installation process is simple enough.
Just be careful what modules you install, a lot of them is not compatible yet and you could end in a bootloop and have to uninstall the modules via twrp.
I suggest you to read the list of compatible modules here.
If you're interested in a privacy module, looks like xprivacylua is already compatible with EdXposed.

I don't think it's so much the phone as the operating system. Xposed works (depending) up to and including Oreo. In general. Whether it works on any particular device or ROM is something else.
For Android Pie one would look at using EdXposed. I don't do Pie so can't say much about that.
Essential PH-1, /e/ 0.6-n ROM, microG (NoGapps), XDA Legacy

EdXposed (for Pie) works really well. At least for me, it runs much more stable than the latest beta for Oreo of 'official' Xposed ever did.
Concerning the question in general:
Xposed is geared towards AOSP. So it works better on Roms built very close to it. (I never had a problem with custom roms)
Heavy modified Roms (eg. MIUI, Samsung) tend to create more problems than others

questions about the right ROM for Note 8 (SM-N950F)

Hello,
my friend has a Samsung galaxy note 8 with the model SM-N950F and he was thinking about giving me his phone to install a custom ROM for him, the phone is running stock ROM.
my question is what is the most stable android 12/13 Rom ( AOSP ) that doesn't require rooting and has banking apps and the pen working fine, also what is the latest stable TWARP and Odin that works for that model ( because I had SM-G530h and some Odin versions didn't work with it ).
one more question is it available to go back to Stock ROM once again using Odin like with old Samsung phones and where can I find a trusted source as Sammobile doesn't seem to work for me for some reason?
thanks in advance for your help.

Your question is a contradiction. You're asking whether you can use a custom ROM without root but still pass Play Integrity and other checks? This is not possible. Simply having an unlocked bootloader makes your device fail. To pass Play Integrity and be able to use banking apps, the Universal SafetyNet Fix module is required for use with Magisk. Further, AOSP does not include any of the "frills" that Samsung preloads into their firmware, meaning that not all features may work, including the S Pen. If you want to try AOSP anyway, you can follow my guide here to install an AOSP GSI.
As for returning your device to stock using Odin, yes. Sammobile is a good source, but if it doesn't work for you, you can try Frija or Samfirm.js to download the firmware directly from Samsung's servers.

Frija is faster and I recommend it. SAMMobile forces users to register to their website and limit your DL-speed.
It's not strictly required to use Magisk. Some Custom ROMs by default spoof SafetyNet Attestation to BASIC and don't need Magisk.
But in the case of Custom ROMs like LineageOS (which doesn't spoof/hide the Unlocked Bootloader on purpose!), or Stock OneUI ROM, you do need to use Magisk + "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module and set the fingerprint to Note8. If Note8 isnt available as a fingerprint, use SafetyNet-Fix Module.
Also, I don't use my Note 8 anymore, but we have Custom ROMs for Note8. I see we have LineageOS 20.0. Why use GSIs? They are much more unstable and buggy.

LineageOS is largely developed as a GSI. Yes, in many cases, it is bundled with a device specific kernel as a complete ROM, but for Project Treble compliant devices, a Generic System Image is just that - a single generic system image that does not have any device specific functions and can be used with any kernel on any device. In that regard, the official AOSP GSIs are very stable, and any issues are usually involved with the kernel, not the system image.

To be able to use Banking Apps, the following practices are good.
Passing SafetyNet (you can check this with YASNAC from Play Store).
If you don't pass SafetyNet, use Magisk with one of the 2 modules mentioned above.
You may also need to enable Zygisk, Enforce DenyList, and add your Banking Apps to Magisk DenyList.
I use a Xiaomi Poco F3 with ArrowOS Custom ROM, it already contains patches to force SafetyNet to BASIC, and so I dont need any modules, but only Zygisk, Force DenyList, and add my Banking Apps to the DenyList and reboot ^^

What GSIs have you tried? I suspect that the device kernel is not fully Treble compliant.

Generic System Image releases | Platform | Android Developers
developer.android.com
The official Googley ones. Tho I don't mind, since I use an AOSP Custom ROM anyway (on my Xiaomi phone). My Note 8 is kept on OneUI 1.0... i miss the "Samsung Experience" dayz.. Yknow, the OS that came after TouchWiz. It had a rather professional-looking boxy design. Don't like the Huge padding and Rounded Corners of OneUI. The modern OneUI versions are also eh. Due to Samsung stuffing additional apps like TikTok and other rubbish as pre-installed apps.

Huh. I've used both the "pure" GSIs from Android CI, as well as the Android Developer GSIs on my Tab A 8.0 with the CUK4 kernel. Everything works like it should. Make sure you're using the correct architecture and bitness for your device - most are arm64 - but in the off case that your Xiaomi isn't ARM, there will likely be a lot of issues.
Remember that while a Treble kernel should run any GSI, you still have to wipe data. You can't go from OEM firmware to GSI or vice versa without a data wipe; that cause a a lot of stability issues.

thanks for the replays and information guys regarding official releases of AOSP ROMs I haven't seen one that is higher than android 9 ( which is mainly the reason why we want to install a higher version due to compatibility issues with the company portal apps ) so any idea what is the most stable ROM for that model running android 10 or above
