Prerequisites:

  • Make sure your bootloader is unlocked

  • Make sure you are rooted and have latest SuperSU installed

  • Make sure you have the latest TWRP installed as your recovery

Once the prerequisites are complete you may proceed at you own risk.
  1. Download Xposed 3.1.1
    Apkmirror link
  2. Install Xposed 3.1.1 FIRST
    (Do not flash Xposed first or you might bootloop!)
  3. Download the uninstaller (xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm64.zip) from here.
    Direct link
  4. Download the installer (xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip) from here.
    Direct link
  5. Transfer the files downloaded above to your phone if downloaded from PC.
    (Skip this if all files have been downloaded from your 1+3t)
  6. Reboot to TWRP
    (Press the volume up button at boot, scroll down with volume down to "Recovery", press power to select.
  7. Flash xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
  8. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache to be safe.
  9. Profit! :good: You now have Xposed, but remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

TL;DR for experts:
  1. Get root and TWRP
  2. Install Xposed 3.1.1
  3. Flash xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
  4. Keep the arm64 uninstaller in case any module(s) misbehave.

Troubleshooting:
If your phone is thrown into bootloop after installing/activating a new module, simply flash the uninstaller downloaded above.

If you guys would like to see a list of modules that work, let me know!

Big thanks to Rovo89, OnePlus and XDA

Here are the modules I use:

Amplify: Battery enhancements
Assistant Enabler: Google Assistant, not just for the Pixel
DisableFlagSecure: Screenshots everywhere
FingerprintEnabler: use fingerprint to unlock after reboot or when a device administrator app locked the phone
GravityBox: Circle battery, center clock, hide Vibrate icon, double tap to sleep status bar, force media volume control.
Notification Slider by Seveilith: change the slider functions (only app that worked for me, others did not overwrite system settings)
RootCloak: hide root from most apps
SNAPPREFS: Snapchat with extras
Vibration Tuner: change the intensity of vibrations

Partial Compatibility:
Android N-ify: quicksettings are not modified, and white screen overlay appears at volume change but notifications do get N-ified (including direct replies!)

Modules I have tried but do not work:
Hide VoLTE Icon
NFCIconRemover

What do you mean by do not flasg xposed first or you might bootloop? You can flash xposrd first as well. But the best wah is always, Install from xposed app itself. No need of flashing anything manually.

My 1+3t bootlooped quite a few times while trying to install Xposed on it. Just giving a heads up and sharing the way that worked for me..

Thanks, that was indeed quite helpful !

I had quite some struggle with getting Xposed (based on systemless Magisk) to work without bootloops - without success.

With your instructions it worked out very nicely, albeit not systemless. But at least I have a working phone :)

Not sure about this.I couldn't find it in the flash script.
AFAIK wiping cache/dalvik manually after the zip is required.
Hmm, mine did. Had to wait for all the apps to go through the optimization process.
Either way, added the wipe recommendation, thanks!
