We decided to do review of Xposed Framework because indeed it is a great Android tool. For all of you that you haven’t heard of Xposed Framework, it is something like Cydia for iOS.
Xposed framework is primarily designed for those who wish to remain on the stock ROM, but do not want to flash it constantly with new custom ROMs in order to get additional features. If you want to do that, then you can freely use Xposed Framework.
Modules are the most important thing in this app, because If you only install Xposed Framework, it will not do anything. If you want to get and perform a specific function, then you need to install a module in order to run a particular function, you can use function that are installed on the module.
How we installed it and does it work
You can download the Xposed Framework apk from here. Then you can download different modules from here. The process of installation is pretty easy and simple. You download the xposed app, you open it, give root right (when it asks), go to framework, click on install/update, when it all goes successfully, just click OK, and then restart.
You can download the modules on the above link, or from the Xposed app directly. It is very important that when you install a module, you must enable the module into the xposed app with checking of the checkbox. After that you must perform a restart.
Conclusion
Why we liked Xposed Framework? There is no need to modify any APKs, the app, that means that there is no need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign and that it will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs. Also, it is open source and free and you can disable it wthout having to reflash.
However, it is important to emphasize, that this app works on almost all Android devices, but there is still no support or update for the newest Android version – Android Lolipop 5.0.

What is xposed installer?
It is a framework!
It allows you to install little apps by which you can mod your XL.
Read Advantages for more info.
Only you will be responsible if anything happens to your phone!
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Hell, it will probably even work with different ROMs.Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same package. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
It does its magic at runtime. That means you can implement options to let the user decide if they prefer the bikeshed to be painted in red or blue. Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source.
Download:
You can download the installer from the attachment or from thread mentioned above
How to install:
First step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, restoring a backup is the easiest way to get rid of it
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.
Modules:
You can find modules collection here-

Installation process-
Download .apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the check-box
Reboot

Hi there, I was new here, I need help, How can I customise my setting and sms by using xposed installer and xbackground? I already have the two apps, but what module do I need to download for changing background on sms and setting? I need help, I'm already rooted,
I have also the list of what I want to customise the background using xposed and xbackground:
Sms
Setting
Clock
File manager
Contact
Pls post your answer what is the module name for customising of my background,
Here's a video about how to use xbackground. check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_D4WniIH2g
Hit thanks if I helped
hi
Do I need to install module to change sms background? My exposed installer is not similar on the exposed installer in the video, my exposed installer is having DOWNLOAD SECTION what is the uses of that section?
with the xposed installer, you have to install the xposed framework, to do this you have to open the xposed installer app and press the first option "Framework" (then press "ok" for the warning) and then press "install/update" and then reboot the device after the installation is done. (you can check if you done it correctly on top of the tab where you installed the framework, there should be 2 green version numbers under "actif")
After installing the xposed framework, install the xbackground app. If it's installed, you will receive a notification that the module is not activated yet. Press that notification and it will bring you in the "modules" section of the xposed installer. There activate the xbackground module by checking the box. Then again reboot, and the module will be activated.
then you can just open the module and make the changes
edit: the download section is to search for modules, you can use this section to search for xbackground module so you're sure you have the latest version.
hi
Ok, but can I customise sms, menu etc. Without downloading a module? The exposed installer in the video is not similar on my exposed installer, can you give me the apk of the exposed installer in the video? By the way can I ger your email add? I will contact you later
Download this xposed installer to install the newest xposed framework http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Indeed the layout of the installer is a bit different from the one in the youtube video, but it does the same.
this is a video with probably the same layout as yours with info on how to install xposed framework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75y8fuAUxQI
you can do it without xposed for sms but then you have to download another messenger app. And if you want to do it for settings and other system apps you will have to theme your settings.apk.. so it's A LOT easier to just use the xposed module
send me privé message on xda instead of e-mail. I rather not place my e-mail adress all over the internet
hi
Sir I already installed the exposed installer and xbackground, I did everything that you said, Does it require wifi or data connection on doing customising? When I pick an image on galery for background there is no image on the screen, I don't know why, My phone model is Lenovo S720,
Ok wait I will download it, I will contact you after later,
hi
You mean I need to download module for sms, menu and etc.What is the name of the I module for sms, menu and setting background can you give me the name of it,
I think my phone is not supported of exposed and xbackground, but I will try,
Hi,
I just tried it myself to screenrecord the steps, but it doesn't work on my phone either I guess it just doesn't support mediatek
Annyway, what sms app are you currently using? The stock one like the picture in attachment?
and what android version are you on?
you can change sms background but changing settings background won't work if you can't theme.
oh somthing just comes in my mind.
You can also use HKTheme Manager xposed module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-tool-hkthememanager-v7-1-change-t2602257
I think you won't be able to use the image you want yourself using this module, but you can apply themes that change the collour of settings, sms, etc.
Easy Android ROM Customization Through Xposed Framework
Here is Xposed Framework for the MediaPad X2. This allows for future customization of a lot of different things on our devices. Thanks to kpcheang2 for finding the original page with the download links.
Besides the usual customization we can do with Android launchers and Android widgets, we also love to try new features that available on custom ROMs. But custom ROMs can be unstable and buggy sometimes and the process to flash over to a new ROM is very time-consuming, especially if you need to restore your backup and app settings.
Through Xposed Framework, by just downloading and installing a ready-made module you can make modification (modules) to any element of the OS or the app itself without the need of flashing a new ROM. For example, if you ever need to skip YouTube ads on your android, download the module for that, install, enable and reboot your device for the effect to take place immediately.
Prerequisites:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-TWRP Installed
-Be On B106 Or B109
Instructions:
First, install Xposed Installer by opening the apk and hitting install as you would any other app.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4N29ueEwtalBVUE0/view?usp=sharing
Second, boot into TWRP and install the Xposed Framework:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I_q70mNuR4cThvN2RkU2dOdkE/view?usp=sharing
After rebooting you will have working xposed framework on your phone. Open it up and in settings check "Disabled Resource Hooks" Now reboot once more. Now you need to find modules that work. There are modules for pretty much anything you want done to your phone. The problem is none of them support our X2 yet (or at least none that I've tried) This is just a start as I'm sure there will be modules coming out to support our devices. After installing a module go into Xposed Installer and into Modules and check the Module you want to use in there. Then restart your phone foe the module to take effect.

Thanks ! I plan to try out in a few days after I get myself up to B109.
goes into bootloop
goes into bootloop on stock b109 i had it running fine on kang vip
Bootloop, too
I'm using the 702L with ajsmsg's B109.
--- Edit:
With B106 by guduke also a bootloop
With B109 KangVIP I got the error "framework is installed but not active, please check logs" (these are empty)
Re-Install and/or Restarts takes no effects.
I'm giving up...

Please let us know with which configuration/build (whatever) you're able to run xposed. It's much more important for me then a "current" Android build. To ensure the right result, I suggest also to upload all relevant files to get your config.
Many thanks in advance.

Could you be more detailed about which 'resource hooks' are to be disabled? I suspect so my problems with exposed are tied with some settings. I am running B109 KangVIP debloated , but not so heavy as @ajsmsg78's.

You're right.
With deactivated resource hooks option, I can active the framework.
I also activated xprivacy but the module say's only "restart required" ... it doesn't work.
I'm so close to the target .... just one step left.
//Edit: After more installed modules, I was able to activate xprivacy successfully

in the xposed framework app settings you see the option just check it and your good to go
When I had the Ascend mate 2 I had edit the build prop to get xposed to work. I had to change the
" ro.config.hwtheme=2 change the 2 to 0 and reboot
I used apex launcher with that because it disables a few things.
does this work with b110?
I had a bootloop when I tried it, so if anybody already has it working with b100, I'll try it again.

We all have the same problems...
But Huawei's support for internation models are ... not existing. So we all want to upgrade our models to a 703L ROM to get new updates (like announced Android 6) and to improve our phones.
It was a hard and long way to unlocking, rooting and installing of the xposed framework. And I'd say, nobody will also make it possible for the "only-one" user, who wants to stay on a 701L ROM. There are too many restrictions, too many limitations and no further updates from huawei. I really don't see a reason to stay on this ROM. My 702L works fine with the 703L ROM.
I'm looking for ways to bolt down security on the stock Sony ROM or the slim ROM. I'm on slim 4.9 right now. I have all the standard security items in place)(Pin protection, malware scanners, FOSS apps when I can) but I'm looking for some more specific things. I'm looking for a feature that's in cyanogenmod. I want the ability to deny apps the capability to access things they don't need. For example, if a messaging app needs my mic, deny access to that.
Is this doable with xposed? I know next to nothing about the xposed framework.

Yes, that's also possible on stock or stockbased rom's, regardless of the device. And yes, you need Xposed (and of course root for that).
Install Xposed Installer by rovo89 (you need xposed-v80-sdk22-arm.zip [you need to install it via recovery, e.g. TWRP] and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk for your device).
Right after flashing the zip, wipe cache and dalvik/art, then reboot. After the reboot, install the alpha4.apk (don't forget to enable "unknown sources" in "Security" of the "Settings" tab before). Right after that, open "Xposed Installer" app tap "Framework" -> "Reboot" and confirm the root access.

Enough said really. If you don't know about GravityBox module, you can use it to perform a good amount customization on menus, button actions, lock screen, etc. For example, 30 volume step mod, circle battery with percentage, randomization of pin numbers on lockscreen, extended power menu with reboot options/screenshot/screen recording, etc.
Grab the regular (NOT the non FBE version).
It can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v7-0-0-tweak-box-android-t3653953
If you don't have Xposed systemless installed, download and install the sdk25 version (download zip and add module from magisk manager) from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
As always, Xposed systemless framework enabled will cause SafetyNet to fail. So if you want to use Snapchat, Android Pay, Pokemon GO, Mario GO, new versions of Netflix, etc.; you'll have to disable the framework and then reboot currently. This hasn't been an issue for me so far!
Have you had any luck with any Magisk's modules? I can't get them to work. I can't get any black out apps to work via TRWP flashing either. It's gotta have sitting to do with the a/b partition, right?

The Xposed framework systemless v88.2 is the only module I actually have in magisk. Most magisk modules don't seem to have been updated for the magisk systemless 14+ betas.
Ok, after a couple of reboots, I got a few of them to work. BusyBox, Greenify, and the black themed injected YouTube back ground playback (which is amazing BTW) are all working now. Although, my phone doesn't pass safetynet now.
Does status bar colouring work on GravityBox on the Essential? I ask because colouring the status bar black across all system and apps would basically give an illusion of equal top and bottom bezels but with light up notifications and icons which imo would look pretty cool and hide the camera notch.
