Hello everyone,

With the recent update of Google's security patches for November, most custom ROMs won't boot anymore when Xposed modules are installed.
This problem seems related to a whitlelist, which makes it impossible for Xposed to activate modules and results in a endless bootloop.

So at the moment, there are (only) two solutions:
  • Downgrade to an older build (recommended: before November)
  • Or just wait until @rovo89 found a solution and updated Xposed

But for everyone else who don't have time to wait, I have found a solution: Just replace libandroid_runtime.so with the one from former builds.

So I've made a flashable zip with lib files from a previous build which was working with Xposed fine (I've used cm-13.0-20161102-NIGHTLY-kenzo) for arm64 devices and it seems to work fine :)
Before flashing please make a backup of /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so and /system/lib64/libandroid_runtime.so, I am not taking any responsibility for soft-bricked devices ;)

Instructions:
  • Download flashable zip file
  • Reboot to recovery
  • Flash xposed-v86-bootloopfix-sdk23-arm64.zip
  • Reboot!

Now your phone should be able to boot back without getting a bootloop :fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot for this solution to @aviraxp on GitHub!
