[Q] Is an xposed module with these features available??

Hello all,
i am a newbie here and apologize if i have posted a wrong question. i request to moderators not to suspend the account as this is my forst post only.
I have installed the xposed framework and very much happy with the power it has.

Old codger needs some help getting Xposed Framework installed

I'm an old guy who is new to making modifications to my phone and I really need some help.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a stock ROM and running Android 5.01. I've installed TWRP and made a backup. From there, I'm a little lost. From the reading that I've done, I know that Samsung has a bootloop issue. I've downloaded the Xposed ZIP for Samsung but in the details it said it runs on Android 5.1 and above. Here is what I need to know.
1. Will the modified framework work on 5.01 or is there another version of Xposed that I should be running?
2. Does anyone know if there is a written guide or a good step by step video that can walk me through the setup? Most of the stuff that I'm reading is written for people with more background in Android modifications than I actually have. I'm kind of looking for something written for a novice, that takes me through all of the steps.
3. A really basic question here that will give you an idea of my experience level. Everything I've read about Xposed on the Note 4 says that you have to flash the framework to the phone. How do you do that? I know that may sound like a stupid question but I'm a beginner.
Any assistance will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to XDA.
Please have a look at this thread and read post #2.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118
There you'll find all required information about how to identify the correct framework version for yourself. You have to use the framework version by XDA member arter97. A link to the corresponding thread can be found in the above mentioned post #2.
You have mostly set up everything that you need for flashing Xposed. Flashing means installing a file (either .zip or .img) through recovery. TWRP is a custom recovery, thus enabling users to flash custom modifications such as Xposed or custom ROM's. Just enter TWRP, chose Install, navigate to the file you want to install and proceed.
For video tutorials, just search YouTube for "flashing Xposed Lollipop Samsung" (or similar).
If you have further questions about the framework, please use the corresponding thread of arter97.
As an alternative, search XDA for "Material Design Xposed Installer". You'll find a thread of an unofficial version of the Xposed Installer app, which can help you to find and install the correct version in a more easier way. Don't worry about the description "unofficial", it is the same as the official version, beside the option to download and install framework versions for not officially supported versions like the one you need.

Thank you. Have run into another issue though and need further assistance.

Thank you for posting this thread. It helped me a lot but I've run into another issue. Specifically, deodexing my ROM. I've spent the better part of the past day researching this.
The thread you gave me has a link to a deodexing tool but I can't get it to work on the phone since windows 10 doesn't recognize the phone as a logical drive with a letter. Instead, it comes up by its name: Ganymede
Is there another way that you know of to deodex the ROM? I know that Titanium Backup Pro does deodexing but only for apps. They have a disclaimer that says they don't impact framework... which is what I'm assuming that I need to do. Or is there already a deodexed version of the stock Samsung ROM available to use? Again, I'm new to this so I really don't know what I'm looking for.

I am not familiar with how to deodex a ROM as I haven't done this before. But there is a dedicated sub-forum here on XDA for the Note 4 (even for different carriers, if this applies to you). A quick search for "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" will bring up all sub-forums. Identify the correct one for your device and check out the Q&A section or ROM development sections there. You might find either a guide about how to deodex a ROM, a deodexed ROM itself or a custom ROM, which does not necessarily need to be deodexed if it is based on an Android version different from 5.0.1.
As I am not familiar with both the Note 4 as well as the process of deodexing a ROM, I am afraid that I might be of no further help here. Hopefully you'll find some way in the above mentioned sub-forum.

Conused about Xposed on Touchwiz, Nova launcher, Marschmallow

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.

Most modules are not upgraded since year 2013 ? Is it safe to use same ?

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.

Xposed Installer with different package name

Hi, I'm trying to change the package name of the apk of the Xposed Installer...
I tried with the material design xposed Installer:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
The first time I changed only the name package and the app doesn't recognize xposed
The second time I changed every de.robv.android.xposed.installer in the manifest in de.robv.android.xandro.installer but the app doesn't open...
I'm trying this to hide the Xposed Installer from Remote Play PS4 that doesn't work with xposed installer Installer (It recognize the .xposed in the name package) (and yes I tried sudohide but It doesn't work for me, maybe because of android9)
Anyone with more knowledge can help me?

Not sure if this helps but using xprivacylua there are some custom hooks you can download to hide the exposed installer app. Worth a shot.

To be honest, I do believe that XPosed is detected by the Framework Binaries and not the App specifically (or Solely).
For example, if you were to look at an App's detection of Superuser...
With a flavorful of apps that manage Superuser, the detection of Superuser is made by locating the SU Binaries.
The above information is very brief but, pretty much to the point.
Your idea is not incorrect in itself but, you should be looking at this specific scenario in another light (aka the whole picture).
I don't use Magisk myself but, I've seen more successful posts for Magisk XPosed than the other options. I'm not stating that the other options don't work but, Magisk seems (to me) to be more successful.
Good Luck!

With xposed (without the Installer) the app works well, magisk also introduced the function to hide the word magisk from the application name and randomize the app package name
Anyway EdXposed Installer isn't detected, I Will use It when they will patch bootloops (or rovo release the official android 9 xposed)
