Introduction:
XDictionary adds a quick dictionary search popup button to text you select. The popup is extremely non-intrusive (similar to iOS), and appears next to the Paste/Replace buttons. It then opens the definition of the selected word.
Now, you don't need to bother with opening your dictionary app, typing in the whole word and hitting search - it's essentially just a one-click procedure.
IMPORTANT: after installing, run the app, and allow it to copy dictionary data to external memory. If the app force closes, delete the folder /xdictionary, and reboot. For a proper install, there should be nine files in /xdictionary/dict - the folder will be around 33 megabytes. If all else fails, you can manually make the folders, and download the files from here.
Limitations:
Bugs:

Future:
Module has been abandoned, as of now; support for custom UIs and ROMs that modify standard AOSP is unlikely. When and if Xposed is ported to Lollipop, I shall start working on porting the module.
Donate:
If you liked the app, and you're feeling generous, do buy the Google Play version! Developing while going through college can be pretty tiring work, and I like the way this app is going.
Download:
The APK is attached; knock yourselves out!

Limitations:
- Currently only works in text input fields where Paste/Replace do show up. Making it global for all text is high priority.
- Supports only English. Support for other languages may or may not happen, depends on the response.
Bugs:
- May break for certain OEM skins or ROMs with heavily modified UIs.
- Occasional force closes when you try to copy dictionary data
