[GUIDE][XPOSED][ALL VARIANTS] Installing Xposed without recovery

[woozzy101]

I was able to flash v78 successfuly!

Awesome, glad it worked! Did you try v79 before flashing v78?

Nope. I just did v78 because you said its stable and works for you. Is there any reason to go to v79?

No particular reason, I was just wondering since I've been itching to update just to have the latest. Now to go look for the v79 changes...

In version 79, I have fixed many crashes and bootloops that were reported on GitHub. It's hard to say which devices and ROMs profit from the changes. Affected devices mentioned in the issues were mainly HTC and LG, plus any devices which have activated the compiler filter "everything" for ART.

Background:
The reason for these issues is in pretty much all cases that AOSP can't handle so called "quickened" instructions like "invoke-virtual-quick". They're the result of optimizations when the ROM was compiled, and usually just need to be executable by the runtime. However, as Xposed needs to recompile the whole ROM to disable a few optimizations that would prevent hooks from being called, these instructions need to be understood by the compiler as well, which isn't always the case. It did get better in Android 6.0 due to beginning JIT support, so I could port several changes to 5.0 and 5.1 (which isn't as easy as it sounds). But even on 6.0, several fixes were required. Unfortunately, debugging the issues to find those fixes often takes many hours or even days, hence the rather long time between v78 and v79.

More issues?
I hope that by now, most of these issues should be solved. If you still come across any bootloops - even without any active modules - please open an issue on GitHub. You must include a logcat of the failing boot attempt, otherwise I can't help you. My recommendation: Clear Dalvik cache, restart device, execute "adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt" as early as possible, wait a few minutes, press Ctrl+C.

Android 6.0.1:
Additionally, I have merged the AOSP changes from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1. They're just a few fixes, so the SDK23 ZIP works on any 6.0.x ROM.

Genymotion:
The latest version of Genymotion emulator contains improved flashing scripts based on my GenyFlash project, allowing you to flash recovery ZIPs properly. Now you can simply drag & drop the Xposed Installer APK and then the x86 framework ZIPs from the first post onto the window, without the extra step of flashing GenyFlash. Due to the great boot speed and overall performance, module development becomes much more efficient (and no, they don't sponsor me, I really just like it).

Two final statements:
- Making Xposed "systemless" (i.e. work without modifying the /system partition) should be generally possible. However, it will certainly be much effort, especially due to the high diversity of devices. I follow the process of @Chainfire's systemless SuperSU experiment to see how feasible it is. Maybe once this approach has become more mature, it can be re-used by other projects such as Xposed. I'd want to avoid incorporating the whole kernel modification stuff though - if there was some kind of init.d-like interface that allows other projects to plug in and execute some commands at very early boot time (e.g. to mount a custom libart.so over the original one), that would be great. So much for wishful thinking - currently, I'm not working on this.

- It seems that some vendors have ported a change that was originally made in 5.1 back to 4.4 (KitKat). Xposed currently doesn't work with such ROMs. Why isn't this fixed yet? Well, I have completely restructured the source code and installation procedures for ART on Lollipop. Even though I kept Dalvik in mind, it will still require much more work and testing. Therefore, I'm not able to release pre-Lollipop files at the moment and due to the focus on Lollipop/Marshmallow, I don't think this will change for the next weeks or maybe even months.

whelp, fixed crashes and bootloops. Sounds sorta important... Guess I'm updating to v79 in a bit. I'll edit my post once I do and let you know how it went

Edit: Seems xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64 flashed perfectly over xposed-v78-sdk22-arm64. No initial problems have come up. Even updated my xhangouts module and restarted phone to save settings.
I only use 4 modules for Xposed
1. G4 TweaksBox
2. Greenify
3. HandleExternalStorage
4. XHangouts

Just to confirm woozzy101's v79 experience I've been running it the last 3 days and have had no trouble at all.

How to uninstall xposed? I still have the old version where the uninstall option is greyed out in the framework section. Any help or link to thread?

For those who seem to not be able to flash v79 try updating your xposed apk works like a charm now here

Not sure if you got Xposed working or not, but here is how you know which Xposed Version you need to be using:
Lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118

Basically if you have an LG G4 on Lollipop 5.1, you need to look at TWO things.
1st: The sdk NEEDS to be sdk22. Means you are on lollipop 5.1
2nd: arm64 is the Xposed used for our G4's. This refers to CPU used on phones.

The v just refers to the Xposed Software Version. v79 is the latest as of right now. I have it up and running on my phone and seems to be stable without issues for everyone else.

So if you are using an LG G4 on 5.1, use: xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip

Anybody successful with xposed on Android 6.0? Which version hast to be flashed, xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip?

Hello,
I am running V20A (rooted, unlocked bootloader)
I flashed xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip through TWRP....
Then waited 40min to reboot... but nothing.
I used to xposed uninstaller to clean and to reboot.

What can you suggest to have xposed working ?

Thanks !

Any suggestion?

Another Success!!

Thank you soooo much, tabp0le. I spent quite some time pouring over this site trying to figure how to get my Xposed to 'stick' on my new phone. You have the answer. You can add me to your list of confirms. I think my phone is the same as yours:

Sprint LG G4 - LS991
Lollipop v 5.1 (SDK 22)
Sftwr version ZV6
Rooted

Again, THANKS! :good:
