I tried this one;

forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/asus-zenfone-6-5-xposed-framework-how-to-t3086063

And this;

Okay. Seems, you choose a bit not relevant options to install Xposed.
This is the simplest way, which works just fine with all custom roms:

1. Install kernel auditor from playstore if it's not pre-installed (check your rom's apps)
2. Download Xposed v78 sdk 21 x86 (for 5.0 roms) from Xposed XDA thread (sorry, just Google it)
3. Download Xposed installer apk from that thread as well
4. Put everything to your phone wherever you want
5. Install Xposed installer apk manually.
6. Via kernel auditor choose recovery/twrp(I suppose you use it)/flash zip/choose your Xposed v78 sdk22 zip
7. Then in the same kernel auditor menu choose wipe cache (don't miss or you will wipe data!)
8. Double check you didn't choose wipe data!
9. Tap check sign
10. The phone will reboot to the recovery and do everything for you, then will reboot to the system.
11. Wait while all the app optimizations end and the device boot.
12. Exit

P.S. I don't know if this matters (because I've never done other way), but normally I flash from the current rom at once via kernel auditor (you can add as many zips as you want via button 'flash zip' at once and wipe cache only one time after all zips):
1. Gapps
2. Xposed
3. Wipe cache

Take into account, that
Sdk21 x86 is for 5.0
sdk22 x86 is for 5.1
Sdk23 x86 is for 6.0

And it seems some users posted issues for versions above v78, so I keep using v78.

This way I flashed Xposed a lot of times with any roms including shell rom.

Okay, thanks. I will try this method and get back to you.

I just finished the installation process and it worked like you said, thank you. I downloaded and flashed sdk21 X86. I have one more question; can I use this method for flashable zips, like rom updates?

Yes, sorry, I posted sdk22 thinking of my current rom, but shell rom, of course, needs sdk21.

And, yes, you can flash this way any flashable zip and as many zips as you want and are logically correct. I mentioned above that normally I flash updates+gapps+xposed+cache wipe at once.

Signal drops?

Hi everyone,
I want you just ask few things. I've got zenfone 5 on other custom rom, which is not bad, but I hope, this one would be better. I have one big bug here - when I'm in area where there's no signal, I lost signal, of course. But then, my signal won't get back. My phone can't connect back, I have to restart my phone. I was on 31.1. release of Borets kernel and now I'm on newest one-16.2. My question is- is it kernel's problem, so my zenfone on your ROM would do the same, or its just bug of my current ROM and your ROM will be better in this situation? I would be really happy if anybody can answer and help me. Thanks in advance.

Interactive governor
It is right, kill the [kernel adiutor] app and reboot ur zenfone,
Then using RE to open /data/dalvik-cache & kill "all" , and reboot ur zenfone again.
U find the zenfone is upgrading now,

Try it, I repair some Q in this way. good luck! :eek:
