Anyone out there try Xposed Framework with any of the custom ROMs on the myTouch 4G Slide? I'm curious to know whether it works and whether it's of any benefit on the great ROMs this community is producing like EmmanuelU's KitKatDS or TBalden's CM10.2 (only ones I'm really familiar with).If it's compatible with these ROMs, might be a way of getting more life out of them without working the comunity devs to the bone...
Thanks!
Xposed framework works wonders on our device, on any ROM. Most modules are compatible. I personally use "GravityBox" and "Play Store Fixes"... just to give you an idea of how well it works.

Has anyone tweaked CROMi-X to be OpenPDroid compatible? Or is there any chance sbdags might be persuaded to bake it in? I'd prefer to stick with CROMi-X over CM 10.1, but really like the option of controlling individual app permissions.

Without the Asus sources I can't see how this can be done easily as a lot of the framework is not stock google. Need to read more about it but it sounds like a lot of hard work. This bit scares me :
Currently we are not aware of any ROMs which include OpenPDroid: if you are aware of one, please notify us and we'll list it here.

Thanks for at least taking a look. I didn't know how different the framework would be, but thought I'd put it out there.
I know I saw a list on one of the posts that did list some ROMs with it baked in, but the ones I remember being listed were mostly CM or AOSP based and so far typically for Nexus or Samsung devices.
I have run the OpenPDroid auto-patcher on a Slimbean (AOSP) port for my HTC Evo LTE. Everything works great on the phone after flashing the custom zip, and I was hoping to do the same with the tablet without having to go to Cyanogen. Guess I'll have to decide between some of the Asus features I like versus the ability to micromanage permissions.

You could try the auto patcher on cromi-x and let us know
Heh, unfortunately the auto-patcher only works on AOSP, AOKP, CM or PA based ROMs at the moment. It reads the build.prop of whatever ROM you want it to make the zip for and errors out with CROMi and the stock Asus build for the infinity. I wouldn't have troubled you if I hadn't already tried that
To anyone else interested in adding permission management to CROMi-X, Xprivacy appears to work and is pretty easy to install. No need for the autopatcher or special tweaks.
Here's where to go:

i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking
Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
I'd like to stay mostly stock but there a few small feautures I miss from prior devices ROMs.
Most of the ROMs I have looked at on here are pretty far from stock.
Are there any that are close to stock?

I was running a stock rom with just xposed and gravity box for quite some time. It gives you ability to make a lot or just a little enhancements. It might be just what you need.
Another vote for stock plus xposed framework. Everything you want and nothing you don't
Sent from my Nexus 5
I agree. I am running Cataclysm which is very close to stock. Might be one to check out if you want a new ROM. But xposed with gravity box gave me pretty much all the same features that I used from cataclysm.
Might be better to post this in the Q&A section next time.
But yeah Xposed framework might help you out.

+1 for Xposed AND +1 for Cataclysm ROM.
Used and enjoyed both, stuck with Cata personally for the SmartRadio feature the Author includes :3. Art compatibility is nice too.
Thanks everyone!!
I am currently looking into both options.
Did some googling and didn't find much on SmartRadio, could you clue me in?

It's basically some logic built into the rom to control your 2g/3g/4g and Wifi connections. Automatically disable, enable, that sort of thing. You can do the same with apps, Tasker, scripts, probably Xposed too.

purity comes in a close second
Is there any way to put in the stock rom the nav bar ring that comes with some roms that allows you to make a screenshot with a swipe up, just like going to Google now with the swipe up.
CM has this, but I don't see any option for this with xposed.
Is it possible to install gravity box on stock, rooted 4.4.2 ?

Yes of course. Download the Xposed Installer app first and within that download and install the framework for it, then download the GravityBox KK module, enable it in Xposed and reboot. Wanam module is also good for minor tweaks and changes. AppOpsXposed module will allow you to change individual apps' permissions like not allowing twitter to use location for example.
Cataclysm.

+1 on this. I just saw another thread related to this request
OP, go stock, xposed, gravity box and franco kernel. Will satisfy your tinkering needs and will give you stability as well.

Thanks guys.
I decided to try out Cataclysm and Franco kernel! Cata seems close enough to what stock+exposed would be anyhow.
Did mess around with Xposed and found a cool YouTube ad blocker thing that I will def use so thanks for the heads upl.
Cataclysm and Chaos kernel!

With the advent of Xposed Framework, is it still worth it to ROM? Do you still ROM or have you started using Xpposed instead?
sent from a KitKat Bar running CM11 powered by AK
Gravity box still doesnt works properly wid heavily modified stock rom from.sammy n htc..
Wanam xposed is not meant for 4.1 ....and lots of samsung devices are stuck at 4.1
So we have no option bt to use custom rom..
I use cm10.2 wid gravity box... Per app fonts... And app settings..
You probably won't notice a few xposed modules running, but if you use xposed modules to customize everything on your ROM then you will probably notice the difference. As doctor_droid already mentioned, Gravity Box can cause performance issues and this may be due to the large number of hooks used by Gravity Box.
Xposed made my phone very laggy, although it has many interesting features.

custom roms are good
i think custom roms are really cool and add some really snazzy features. but i do not like to put custom roms on my phone as most of them network connectivity and other issues at first. they are fixed over time ofcourse, but i feel the phone is getting taxed for some reason.
i think however with the advent of xposed framework the need for custom roms would be reduced and would be limited to phones which experiencing lags while xposed.
personally i just root my phone, remove the bloatware and install a custom launcher and be done with it.
those were my 2 rupees.
namaste
Custom roms are good but not really a must have. It offers a variety of tweaks and stuffs but as mentioned, the build will stabilized over time. But for some phones, its a pain not to have enough available custom apps/roms to play with. Now, i just root the phone, remove bloatwares, insatall xposed framework and just get the modules that works for my stock rom.

I think exposed lets me do everything to my favorite rom and more when using it with gravity box. There are also sometimes the developer likes something that I don't and i'm stuck with it bu not anymore.
Well I hate TouchWiz so custom Roms are a must, so AOSP ROM plus xposed works well
So yes I still think they are a must but not for everyone.

I have been running Paranoid Android 5.0.2 and keep having battery life issues. I have trimmed my apps down and even re-enabled the SystemUpdateService for the Google Play Framework which doesn't help. The service also keeps automatically being disabled. Another issue I have is lack of xPrivacy on this version in addition to various OS 'quirks'.
What is the recommended 5.1 ROM for this device that does work with the newer versions of xPosed/xPrivacy?

AFAIK all ROMs work with Xposed except TeamEOS (bootloop) and Temasek (you need a modified version of Xposed). Xprivacy works well now on 5.1.

Is there a recommended ROm that does not add much bloat to the stock OS? That is why I chose Paranoid to start with. It is not stock but yet doesn't add a bunch of unnessesary things.

CM, Terminus, OptiPop... but I didn't try all ROMs so you should read the OPs in Android Development and Original Android Development.

Let the users make their own decisions. Cataclysm is closed source and will never include themes. 2 points for which some users won't flash it

Not interested in Cyanogen anymore. No real reason other than they got a bit big.

While open source is a plus and is preferred I can sacrifice if enough people recommend it.
I cannot seem to find screenshots of either OptiPop or Terminus.

Try by yourself. Screenshots are useless as long as you know what are the main features. You can apply layers or themes (ROM related) if you want custom UIs.
