[Q] Xposed Framework and Stock Kernel - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Can I use the Xposed Framework with stock kernel?
Currenlty, I'm using franco r29 and since v.24 I got 2 random reboots and one phone freeze.
Wishing to keep Xposed functionality but reverting to stock kernel.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes you can use Xposed framework with stock kernel, it has nothing to do to with the kernel (unless you use a specific Xposed module related to CPU stuff if there is, maybe here).
As you can see there is some hard reboot issue with the kernel for now...

I actually wasn't following the Franco kernel thread... I'm just updating when his app notifies on an update
Can I please confirm with you that the stock kernel is:
1. Extracted from hammerhead-kot49h-factory-02006b99.tar --> image-hammerhead-kot49h.zip?
2. That the boot.img is actually the kernel file and is 8,835,072 bytes (Size on Disk)?
Thanks!

Re,
Yes the kernel is the boot.img... so it seems good.
Or take a look here also for the stock kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518816 (4.4.1/4.4.2).

Works fine, just done it myself (obviously have to be rooted tho)

How to flash another kernel over franco

I have a nexus 5 running marshmallow Stock ROM rooted with Franco kernel and xposed framework installed. When I was on lollipop ,if I had to change kernels ,I would just flash the stock kernel using flashify and then flash custom kernel.
But now,i have Franco kernel running and I plan to flash code blue kernel. If I try to flash the stock kernel using flashify ,the phone won't boot,the Marshmallow boot Animation occurs infinitely. So what should I do? The superSU version is 2.52.
Please explain me the steps to flash code blue kernel.One the members suggested flashing superSU 2.61 but for that I need to flash the stock partition.I don't want to do that.Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance
Flash stock System and Boot images, then flash code blue kernel. This is probably the safest solution, I don't know if there are many other options available.
Try flashing stock system.img and boot.img then blu_spark + SuperSU 2.61
EDIT: too late

Yes you will have to root again and install Xposed framework. You won't lose your modules though.
Use this to download the nexus 5 factory images: https://is.gd/84Nk59
Tutorials are availabe to know how to flash them with fastboot.

[Completed] Relationship between kernel, xposed and supersu

Just a simple question.
I have a phone with custom rom, kernel and recovery.
I have root (supersu), xposed framework (with some modules installed) and synapse (with lot of custom settings).
Now it's time to update the kernel flashing it via recovery.
When I flash the new kernel, I will lose supersu and xposed framework? I have to flash them again? What happens to the module that are installed? And, about synapse, I have to set all the settings again or the actual settings will stay?

Can't root stock Nougat (bootloaders unlocked)

Spend whole day browsing XDA, still can't get the thing done.
Running stock Nougat 39.2.A.0.361 with unlocked bootloaders and TWRP 3.0.2.0. Downloaded SuperSU 2.79, booted into recovery and flashed SuperSU. No errors, just a success message. However, after rebooting the phone, no sign of SuperSU exists. Flashtool also indicates root access is denied.
When installing custom ROM with SuperSU integrated ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/development/rom-romaur-v1-0-fast-stable-t3486874 ) root works perfectly. Once custom ROM is installed, SuperSu icon is displayed and root access is OK.
I read that this problem might be because of incompatible kernel? I installed custom kernel (which was attached to RomAur - Stock_Kernel_f8331_fw.327-DRM FIX) before installing custom ROM, but I guess that re-flashing stock ROM later (using Flashtool) restored original kernel as well? If so, what exactly do I need to do in order to have rooted stock Nougat? Just flash some custom kernel (which one exactly?) and try flashing SuperSU again? Really don't want to brick anything.
P.S. Current kernel - 3.18.31-perf-g6af3ae9
if you are on stock nougat,
flash androplus kernel v18 from here:
https://kernel.andro.plus/tone2.html
after that,
flash supersu 2.78.
Thanks, will try. Is there any reason why using SuperSU 2.78 is needed? I see the latest one is 2.79?

No - mine is running fine on 2.79SR1
BTW:
With stock kernel DM_Verity is ON
That detects any modification (e.g. installing SuperSU) in the non-USERDATA partitions via comparing signed checksums and if there is any modification found refuses to boot the device.
Well, my device boots perfectly, but SuperSu doesn't appear in apps list. Anyhow, I'll try with new kernel.
P.S. At the moment, phone runs androplus kernel v18 and custom ROM (Aura v4). After I will flash stock Nougat (using FTF file via Flashtool), will I need to re-flash androplus kernel v18 again?

Welcome to the quirks of RomAur
It lasted less than a day on my device. I find the claims a bit overblown (did not notice them) and there were minor quirks/annoyances.
It needs time I suppose. But without the SONY sources auras76 can't do magic.
On my SAMSUNG G S5 I am on ResurrectionRom. THAT is an improvement over stock for me with LOTS of stuff I use and appreciate.
My Xperia XZ runs on stock ROM with AndroPlus Kernel v18 now. Do not forget to flash the Recovery too.
I am not sure if the SuperSU app is within the zip-file (80% positive it is). If not install it via Appstore.
Replaced RomAur with stock - works so much better. For some reason, root access on RomAur was lost every time after device was encrypted. No such problem with stock ROM.

Xposed Bootloop

I just got my Xperia Z5 (E6603) and when I installed Xposed I got boot loops. I managed to fix this by removing xposed.
My phone has unlocked bootloader, is rooted and has TWRP. I'm running android 6.0.1 and androplus kernel 3.10.84-v31 on a stock rom 32.2.A.0.253
There is any version of Xposed that won't result in a bootloop? I've already tried version 83,85 and 87...
I'm running the 86 version, and I never had any issue
Which kernel and firmware version you're using? Stock rom? Could you send me the kernel you're using please?

I'm using the following and Xposed is working without issue on 32.2.A.0.305 for the E6653:
AndroPlus v41 - v41 should work with your firmware as well.
Material Design Xposed Installer - provides many more options for installing Xposed.
Systemless Xposed - you can flash this right from within the Material Design Xposed Installer I linked to above.
Thank you very much for answering. It seems the problem was some module or maybe a bad restore, since I restored the modules from a titanium backup. I deleted all modules and xposed and resintalled again from scratch and it worked.
Now I'm with the latest firmware, xposed and kernel and everything is working ok.

Unable to install franco kernel with magisk

I'm unable to install franco kernel with magisk on stock marshmallow... I haven't tried this combination,does it actually work or I'm wasting my time?
If i install magisk first and then franco kernel then the rom boots but magisk manager doesn't open so can't get access to root,i tried supersu also but it gives me bootloop
Also if you can suggest other kernels that can be flashed on stock that Will be much helpful to me...
Thanks
