[Q] Android Revolution HD, Xposed Framework and Sense 6

Jez006 · Jun 27, 2014

Hi all, I've got an M8 and really want to add a few features to it. I'm a bit of a noob to all of this so I hope you don't mind these questions in this forum.

I think Android Revolution HD and the Sense 6 Toolbox have the features that I'd like. So I need to:

1. Install ARHD
2. Install the Xposed framework using ARHD
3. Install Sense 6

I've been reading this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

So I need to:

1. Unlock the bootloader (steps 1 to 19)
2. Flash a custom recovery (next section, steps 1 to 11) - Where do I get a custom recovery though?
3. Flash a custom ROM (next section, steps 1 to 7) - This is the part which installs ARHD?
4. Install Xposed through ARHD
5. Install Sense 6

Please forgive my noobish questions and correct me where I'm making a fool of myself! I'm a quick learner

Thanks in advance

you can do step 1 & 2 by using

Once your device rooted, just download the rom , copy to your phone and flash it via recovery.

step 4&5 are part of step 3, which is installing ROM

you can download the rom from the following link.

Thanks desi

A couple more questions if you don't mind!

So it looks like steps 1 and 2 are covered...are there any advantages of following the instructions on the original link I posted instead of the windows software that you linked?

When you say flash the ROM via recovery, is this a different sort of recovery than what step 2 was describing?

I thought step 4 and 5 had to be done after installing ARHD?

Thanks again

xposed framework will need installing. After the ROM has booted, open the xposed app and install the framework. Tick to enable sense 6 toolbox in the modules section, select your options and reboot.

you should nandroid backup your pristine stock rom before flashing a rom.

I'm going to try and do this tonight...

Please can I get a consensus - should I use the "Toolkit V2.0" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699065) or the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 to root the phone?

At what stage can I make a nandroid backup?

Thanks!

Jez006 · Jun 27, 2014

So I think that I use the Toolkit V2, then take a nandroid backup, then install ARHD?

correct. once you have a custom recovery, you can backup and flash at will.

Thanks, I think I've got it now...the toolkit has TWRP which is a custom recovery right?

I've also been reading about S-off...I don't think I need to know about it for what I'm planning?

Thanks again

Jez006 · Jun 27, 2014

Ok..I'm pretty sure I don't need it...

I'm going for it now...my first root. Wish me luck!

Jez006 · Jun 27, 2014

I've used the tool kit successfully and used TWRP to make a backup

I backed up before installing super user.

lazydesi · Jun 27, 2014

There you're, closer go install arhd.

Jez006 · Jun 28, 2014

Ok, HRHD installed, Sense 6 installed, Xposed installed.

But when I opened Xposed from the app drawer, under "Framework" it says "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?"

Any ideas?

Jez006 · Jun 28, 2014

Ok I've done it, I had to allow apps from unknown sources and then give Xposed superuser permission.

yep. after initial install you have to install the framework from within xposed, then reboot.

have fun and welcome!
