Do you use TWRP? If so use the built in file manager to delete the apk from system apps folder and reinstall latest version from xposed.

look for Sense5Toolbox.apk - thats what you want to update - not xposed!
So now when I xposed xposed update in the app so the framework should yes then the phone reboot but with the option that is the app included. That would be then start new software and device reboot. So when I re-start device selected is not permited and if I reboot software anwähle it comes true after I updated the framework. But after the restart when I get in for a chop modules sit back and Neustar anwähle remains the phone hang boot process while the. And I turn it off then and after I back up drive is back I will update the framework.

With the recent release of framework 71 released here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 xposed framework can now be installed on the idol 3 without causing boot loops. Xposed for Lollipop is still in alpha so you may find that some modules still don't work but the handful I tried including gravitybox for lollipop worked fine. Xposed also has a module to fix a memory leak in 5.0.x roms which I highly recommend running. Make sure you install the arm64 framework along with the apk....if you run into issues you can flash the uninstaller via recovery and it will remove the framework.
There are many modules available now to customize the stock rom.
Thanks for your information.
I am so excited to try it.
I would like to confirm, do I just need to root my phone and then install xposed? If I failed, is it only way to flash uninstaller via TWRP recovery?

Well Xposed requires root so yes you will have to be rooted...if the xposed framework fails to boot you can run the xposed uninstaller. You will need to inquire in the xposed for lollipop thread I linked to for more details and directions.
All I did however was flash the xposed amd64 framework 71 zip file (from TWRP and then rebooted into the ROM) and then installed the xposed-installer 3.0 alpha apk....then I went into the framework section in the apk and it showed the framework was installed and working...I've since loaded a handful of modules: (App Settings, BootManager, Fix Lollipop Memory Leak, GoogleOfflineVoice, Gravitybox [LP], Network Speed Indicator, Notifyclean, Rootcloak (can be used to hide root from the system update checker so you can check for updates as normal however don't DOWNLOAD them till you've fully unrooted), Secure Settings Xposed Module, Statusbar download progress, StopSwitchDelay, XInstaller, XInternalSD and XVoice+) all of which seem to be operating normally.
YouTube adaway works for me
If anyone finds a way to add reboot to bootloader and recovery to the power down menu I'd like to hear about it. All the modules I've tried (APM, gravitybox etc) have failed.

I've been using the app "RebootManager"....I've used QuickBoot in the past but was hoping to find either a way to enable it in settings or a way to enable it in xposed but don't seem to be able to replace or add to the "power down" menu in the idol. Annoying. I also remember there being a module to make the kindle app act more like an ebook reader but it must not be compatible with Lollipop since I don't see it in the module list.

Yeah, I tried some of the Xposed modules that are supposed to do that... None of them work, I expect because Alcatel has 'skinned' the reboot dialog. It certainly doesn't look like the stock Android one.
does the XPrivacy module work?
you might try toggles

i use a app called "Power Toggles" toggles can be added to taskbar, widget and lock screen. most toggles do not need root but some do. there is a toggle i use that gives shut down options when clicked. the options are as follows, ( power off , restart , recovery mode , bootloader. ) this app works sweet as i have the toggles to pull down from taskbar on any page, you can also create your own shortcuts as a toggle. i have been using this app on several devices for 3 years. does not need xposed. Note this does not add these options to your power button.
finally! so happy to have xposed running on this. gravity box is a must. mix it with xposed gel settings (to hide app dock) and use custom key from gravity. i can finally hide my annoying bluetooth icon, apps, and clock "am/pm" too.
one funny thing to note. the default launcher allows double-tap on homescreen to sleep the device but it doesnt work on the lockscreen. gravity box has the option to allow doubletap on lockscreen to sleep. but since i switched to GNL it seems double tap to sleep on homescreen doesnt work no more.

Thanks for the reply. I use an app called Hangar that puts the 7 most "popular" icons you use at the bottom of the notification list or you can optionally pin a specific icon....so I have pinned the rebootmanager icon there...I also considered using an xposed module to define holding down power button to call rebootmanager directly but don't think it's a good idea to override a main button like that...anyway Hangar counts the time you spend in each app to determine which icons to show..has ended up working quite well. Hangar has an xda thread in android apps & games and you can add a 2nd row of icons should you wish to.

Install an app called "screen off" and then assign that app to be called for a double tap in your launcher (or at least that's what I did in nova launcher) and it works fine....still more accurate then the double tap to wake.

If you are going to root why not go ahead and flash TWRP so you can enjoy all of it's benefits? Root access with filemanager, adb access etc?
The default recovery does not have reboot to bootloader for 2 models of the 6045.

I have a 6045Y bought in France. Don't know about the reboot to booloader from recovery.
I only needed root for xposed, link2sd, root explorer and titanium backup.
Didn't really need to have TWRP flashed.
I had in mind, that could be easier to unroot and get OTA update if i don't flash TWRP. That's maybe wrong thought.. (?).
Tried and tested on march/may security update and works
PLEASE HIT THE LIKE BUTTONS IF IT WORKS (WHICH IT DOES).
1. This first step was originally found by @deathdefiler and thought it might help people so I've presented a neat manual to get started spoofing.
You need to root your phone
dont matter if you use a autoroot oneclickroot or what ever you prefer
Because we will be deleting (or NOT as mentioned in step 2) root later.
Just make sure SuperSu(optional for cm/lineage users) and busybox is installed
after your phone is rooted and
busybox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
are installed
go to playstore and download this exactly
(GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick
by dev. The app ninjas
as while youre in playstore also download (/system/app mover Root) by dev. j4velin
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
now openup /system/app mover and search for fake gps joystick
tap it and choose yes or ok to move it to /system/app
At this point you should reboot your phone( MUST DO )!
Once your phone is rebooted you can unroot your phone
Even if you unroot Gps joystick will remain in /system/app
Now go into your phone location settings
Set location modus to Device only
I also set google location service off otherwise it will go back to high accuracy mode.
Now we can open Fake gps joystick and go to settings from menu in the top left corner
Make sure that these following options are on
". Enable System Mode
Disable Location Service
Enable A-GPS reset. "
Now Restart your device for changes to take effect
thats it now we can start fake gps choose location of your liking
open pokenmon go and start playing (make sure loction is on device only mode)
If you want your location to work back normal
for example playing pokemon go normal or use googlemaps
then open fake gps settings and make sure Disable location service is set to off
Reboot your device and your good to go
Note by @reis1996 : In settings menu change "Background Handler" to another value from default to remove the time lag between spoofs. It varies for different devices
DONATE IF I WAS HELPFUL
HERE
Optional step for users who want to keep root/run custom ROMs
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CM/LINEAGE BASED ROM FOR THIS STEP TO WORK
NO MAGISK!!! OR SUPERSU!!!
2. The next step is to temporarily disabled root but still have root access
*****NOUGAT USERS DON'T FLASH ANYTHING*****
Pokemon checks for root status and SELinux status
iSU is an app made @bhb27
Head over to the iSU thread and flash (for 6.0.1 and below as nougat just needs the app installed)
a)iSU kernal file. permissive if your selinux is already permissive / enforcing if your selinux is enforcing
You can check your seLinux status of your phone in settings>about phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...le-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348/page56
b)use the iSU app
To change your build.prop file of your phone
This makes the phone think its not rooted
In the prop editor in the app, set all values to green/safe.
Next set root deactivated and seLinux to enforcing.
The app has an inbuilt safety net checker to see if you pass safety net.
Note that you should toggle root and selinux status to pass safety net via the iSU app only.
as soon as i move gps fake location app to system it disappears, and i have no means to open it up. i did cf autoroot.
also i have galaxy s6, where do i find settings below.
Now go into your phone location settings
Set location modus to Device only
I also set google location service off

Did you restart the phone after making the GPS a system app. RESTART IS A MUST AFTER MAKING ANY APP SYSTEM APP
OK a little more information would be nice. What ROM are you running? Android version? Stock?
My advice for now would be to use a system APP uninstaller and remove the app. Then use another app ( various apps are present in play store) to make the GPS app a system app. Then unroot
hi man i did everything u said and works perfect,i have motorola x force, LineageOS with root from magisk and android 7.1.

Hey guys, so as you noticed this device is getting almost zero support regarding custom ROMs.
I managed to get my device quite close with Xposed and thought why not share with you.
If you already have root and xposed skip to step 3
1st: You will have to root and install TWRP in your device, you can find out how here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-sony-xperia-e5-f3311-t3584813
2nd: You will have to install Xposed installer from here ->
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
3rd: Install Xposed modules, the ones I used are:
Android N-ify http://repo.xposed.info/module/tk.wasdennnoch.androidn_ify
Pixel Navigation bar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.pixelnavbar
4rth: Install Nova launcher and enable the vertical app drawer

Finally someone! (or at least tge first one i've seen) Going to try it!
So I have read tons of threads on changing the launcher not working. I just tried this and it worked flawlessly.
Here is how I have my Fire HD 10 (2017):
Fire os 5.6.00
I changed build.prop build no to 987654321 in order to stop ota but keep updating the amazon apps. ( works flawlessly )
installed root, busybox, xposed ( all working great)
set up kernel auditor to change my SELINUX to permissive on boot.
( I did not have launcher hijack on at all )
here is what i did to get it to work.
1. First install nova launcher as normal.
2. Connected to pc via adb and:
2a. adb shell
2b. su
3. then I ran this.
3.a pm enable com.teslacoilsw.launcher
you will see it say that the package has now been enabled
4. Then i ran this to disable fire launcher.
4.a pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
you will then see that it says the new state is disabled
I hit the home button and poof it magically worked. I even rebooted and it worked directly after reboot as well. Home button works as it should and all the functions of the launcher work as well.
Hopefully this works for others.
Wow, I'm glad this worked for you but you seem to have taken the very very long way with too much effort to accomplish this! You could accomplish all of this very easily even without root by following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/launcher-root-launcher-hijack-v2-t3561026

I do not think you understand what exactly this does. If you have used launcher hijack there is a flicker when you hit the home screen. Not sure if that is still there with v3 but i know for a fact that on my hd8 its still there. This actually replaces firelauncher completely with a new launcher. That flicker drove me nuts.

I know what that flicker is. The solution for that flicker (now that you are rooted) is simply this:
pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
Which should be done only after Nova is up and running and selected as main launcher.

4.a pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
you will then see that it says the new state is disabled
I hit the home button and poof it magically worked. I even rebooted and it worked directly after reboot as well. Home button works as it should and all the functions of the launcher work as well.
Hopefully this works for others.

So I have read tons of threads on changing the launcher not working. I just tried this and it worked flawlessly.
Here is how I have my Fire HD 10 (2017):
Fire os 5.6.00
I changed build.prop build no to 987654321 in order to stop ota but keep updating the amazon apps. ( works flawlessly )
installed root, busybox, xposed ( all working great)
set up kernel auditor to change my SELINUX to permissive on boot.
( I did not have launcher hijack on at all )
here is what i did to get it to work.
1. First install nova launcher as normal.
2. Connected to pc via adb and:
2a. adb shell
2b. su
3. then I ran this.
3.a pm enable com.teslacoilsw.launcher
you will see it say that the package has now been enabled
4. Then i ran this to disable fire launcher.
4.a pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
you will then see that it says the new state is disabled

You should install Nova as a system app. Then you get the Google Now page without having to install another apk. If you are going to keep Fire Launcher, but leave it disabled, add this line to your build prop, at the very bottom:
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
This helps to keep your default launcher in memory for faster loading and performance.

DragonFire1024, all your posts are awesome!
Hi,
I followed these instructions but instead of disabling the AMZ launcher, I uninstalled it (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher) on a rooted HD 10 with Nova launcher installed as system app. Unfortunately, I have lost the home button functionality. Is there a work-around to this?

You have to go to the private app folder and manually reinstall fire launcher and reboot. Then uninstall Nova Launcher and reboot. Then boot into recovery and clear cache. Then reboot and install Nova Launcher as a system app then reboot. Then uninstall fire launcher. Just go to the private app folder and delete the folder with the contents inside of it and reboot. If none of that works, you'll have to flash stock firmware again and start over. You won't lose home button functionality so long as you install Nova Launcher first before uninstalling fire launcher.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I tried to reinstall fire launcher as suggested (pm install -r /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk) and even though it returns "Success", the launcher does not appear. I tried to enable and it also returns no error but no launcher. So I have to re-enable nova. I suspect that I may have removed a package needed by firelauncher in my debloating efforts.
Oh well, looks like I am stuck with Nova and no home button until I reflash system.img with fireflash and restart from scratch!

Unfortunately that's the only way to fix it. Just remember if you're replacing an Amazon app with a Google or other app, you should always install them first. A lot less things break

Thanks, this is great!
My Fire hd10 feel a lot snappier now, a lot fewer processes are running and my tablet has about 700 MB of RAM free all the time!
D'oh - lol, used the wrong file explorer...
Forgot I had Root Explorer (which I purchased eons ago)...ah, Nova is now a system app!
Now I gotta edit the build.prop.
Thank you both gizm0luvsu & DragonFire1024!
Can someone please help me?
I've gotten my Nova Launcher to work, but it still go3s back to the Amazon Fire launcher about 50% of the time...?
And, I don't fully understand how to get my widgets working? I don't understand the whole ADB instructions.

adb is a requirement for widgets to work on non rooted Amazon tablets. Unfortunately there's no way around that. For the fire launcher appearing, make sure the detect home button press is enabled in accessibility.

It wasn't selected, nor was Nova Launcher.
Will that stop it from reverting back to Fire OS?

If you activated it in accessibility, you'll only see a flash every now and then. It's mostly effective.

Now, I just need a very easy description of how to get my widgets working.
(I'm very new at this.)

Just go to ADB and type, (this is for Nova, or else replace com.teslacoilse.launcher with the package name of your launcher).
adb shell
appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher
