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.

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.

Hello, the installation failed, because I "GEM-701L" and this is Android 5.0, 3.0.5 EMUI.

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 downloaded the files from the link I posted above..
Install the xposed installer .apk
Reboot from within the installer and grant root privileges.
Flash the framework via TWRP
I have also tried to flash the framework first, install the .apk, and reboot from within the installer to grant root.
Neither way has worked for me.

I have it running on stock rooted, here are the steps I took.
Flashed the xposed arm zip file in TWRP
Installed the 3.0 alpha2 apk
Once installed I went into "framework" and hit soft reboot.
Once the phone was done I installed a module/made it active and soft reboot again.
I don't think you have to take these exact same steps but this is just what I did following a YT video. In "framework" it always says "Installation is only possible maunally via recovery for now." in red letters. That confused me into thinking it was not installed properly but all the modules I'm using are working fine.

I have tried to install this exact same way. After flashing the framework and installing the alpha .apk, I activated greenify and rebooted.
Upon launching greenify, I saw a yellow dialogue box that said auto hibernation service has stopped (auto hibernation worked fine before trying to use xposed) I attempted to enable the xposed features and a screen popped up telling me to install the xposed framework.
I have since restored my nand backup I made before flashing xposed, and greenify is back to auto hibernating, just cant use the xposed features.

Have you tried installing other modules? Looking around the greenify sections here on XDA seems it wasn't ready for 5.0, but there is a beta thread that you may want to take a look at.

I reinstalled xposed, and updated greenify to beta 11. I also installed Sense 6 Toolbox beta. Everything seems to be working just fine.
My problem was using modules that were not updated to work with lollipop. Thanks for all your help!
so it seems that xposed has been enabled on 5.1.x for the mate 7. it seems that you have to freeze themes and edit a few files. can anyone show the steps in order to do this?
I have it installed and all I done was tick the unhook resources in settings,problem is not many modules work,I wanted ambient screen and had no luck.

oh! wow! i guess xposed v79 fixed many problems. i know that there are many modules that dont work, it seems that for now its a gamble. thanks for the help snake65, ill install it later and hope that per app settings works!

The best solution for now is to use Kang VIP rom. Xposed on this ROM works by disabling the themecolor and hwthemes line from Bild.prop as well as freezing/uninstalling the Themes file. Then turn on "disabled Resource Hooks". But what's even better is once you have Xposed working on Kang VIP, you can actually tick off the "Disable Resource Hooks" option and make theming-related modules work.
I have a hunch that one of the main reasons why Xposed does not work on stock EMUI (aside from the theming conflict) is because SELinux is set to "Enforcing" by default. On Kang VIP its set to "Permissive".
thank you for the help blitzkriegger. i was running cm11 until last week. the reason i upgraded was due to wanting to try kangvip but after flashing it feel right so i flashed the emui rom and have stayed with it since. i really hope that a stock android rom will be released. i really hate emui.
im going to be sticking with the stock emui rom so, with that in mind how do i get xposed to work successfully? according to your posting. i just used titanium backup and freeze the themes app, set selinux to permissive, disables hooks and done right? is the buildprop stuff really needed?
This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BPB1 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed. If you chose not to use Xposed, then skip that step in the flashing process.
I have only used Safestrap to install this ROM, but FlashFire should work as well.
1) Flash NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
2) Flash Extra_toggles.zip
3) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
4) Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip
5) Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip
6) After first boot, open Lollipop Recovery Control and install the latest Safestrap.
7) Open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Then install Viper Fix 1.1.apk and run the Viper fix in the app.
There is no need to flash any Viper zips with this ROM. This ROM has all the same apps as BOK3 V5, but obviously updated to the BPB1 apps. The only app added is multiwindow. I don't use multiwindow, so I can be certain that all aspects of it work, but everything seemed to work normally when I played with it.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.

I don't have any of these problems on mine. Does anybody else? It sounds like you guys might have some bad data from a previous ROM. The Play Store was updated in this ROM, so clear data for the Play Store, and that might fix the problem.

Few Questions
First, since I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs with SafeStrap...
At each step of your process when you say "Flash" does that mean Safestrap-> Boot to Recovery ->Install Zip ???
I'm looking at needing Xposed in order to bypass my company's Exchange security requirement of encrypting my device in order to allow email access.
I got a little confused with all the Xposed documentation out there.
Does this set of instructions get me to where I can load the Xposed module to bypass that security and then continue from there?
Big Thanks for your help.
I'm going to start a backup of current ROM so I'll be ready to install this soon.

Yes, flash means install in Safestrap.
If you flash the Xposed zip I linked in the original post, then you can use modules in the Xposed installer app included in the ROM.

1.) In safestrap, just do wipe->factory reset or is more of a wipe required?
2.) Can I flash them all using the Zip Queue in Safestrap (TWRP 2.7.1.0) or should I do them one at a time?
Factory reset in factory recovery. You can install all of them on one queue.

I did that, and this is AWESOME. Love the ROM. Tough to decide between the two launchers. Haven't had this level of control in a while.
Only snag was that Android Pay doesn't recognize the device as Android authentic, so can't use Android Pay (which I almost never used anyway).

I believe Android Pay doesn't work sheerly because the device is rooted, not because of the ROM itself.
Can't get snapchat to login with Xposed. I've read the solution is to do an Xposed framework uninstall, login to Snap, then reinstall Xposed, but have found a lot of people get hung in a bootloop when uninstalling.
Is this from using the wrong uninstaller or something else?
Which uninstaller is correct?
Do you have another solution?
I have tried removing the modules and doing a reboot to see if that'd be adequate.
EDIT:
The issue was the xposed framework.
To anyone else doing this on Galaxy S5 with this ROM (or same version of Xposed)
1.) uninstall Snapchat
2.) Deactivate modules from Xposed
3.) Download and Flash "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip" from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
4.) Reboot and wait for all the apps to Optimize
5.) Reinstall snapchat and login
6.) Flash the same Xposed framework in original post of this thread (apps will re-optimize)
Is there a way to disable the high volume warning? I can't believe they now also have it on Bluetooth...

Since Xposed is already in the ROM, inside of Xposed, go to Downloads & download the module "NoSafeVolumeWarning". Enable it and reboot.
Boom. No more volume warning.

Successfully uninstalled Xposed, Reinstalled SnapChat and logged in without issue. Then, reflashed the Xposed framework.
So easy, but I was so nervous doing it after seeing many, many people talking about getting hung in a bootloop.
Good day everyone, this is a guide on how to enable Xposed on EMUI 3.1 (Working tested by me using the deodex method) and EMUI 4.0 (Working tested by me also and confirmed working by @Blackball,). - (Update using the deodex method 10-4-2016)
First of all the original guide for making this work on Huawei roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765. Ty @mfbcool for your guide and help. Please follow his instructions to the letter for making it work on our device.
- ([15-4-2016] New Instructions on the original thread no need to deodex the rom files, a working xposed zip has been developed for Huawei devices just flash it in twrp and do the build.prop modifications before you flash the zip for your version of rom. Already tested by me)
So my role in this is to highlight all the tips needed for making it work on our device, and the issues i faced when doing it. ([15-4-2016] The original thread is self explanatory, all of the tips here are already mentioned there this thread was created when we needed to deodex the rom files. So forgive me if i am not adding much.)
Notes
- I think a lot of the members were installing the wrong xposed files for our device we need the ARM-64 SoC files for our device because it's using the Kirin 930.
The Tips:
Lollipop:
1. The xposed files needed for your device are under the heading of: on Lollipop 5.0.x is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0. (If you are on Lollipop 5.1.1 is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1.1, if Marshmallow: Xposed for EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
2. Make sure that after you install the xposed apk , you go to "build.prop" in /system using any file explorer with root and edit the line "ro.config.hwtheme=1" to "ro.config.hwtheme=0" and then save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop. why editing the build.prop is important because without changing this the framework will not be active, you will get a red message saying framework not active. The only way to activate it is by editing this line or in the xposed app go to Settings if you enable "disabled resources hooks" doing that and then restarting will activate the framework but whatever module that uses resources will not work. So the only way working without affecting the modules is editing the build.prop file.
Marshmallow:
1. Make sure to add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0 and ro.config.hw_theme=0 in build.prop in order for xposed to work and make sure to save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop.
If you follow the original guide exactly and the tips you should have no issues making Xposed work.
P.S: By the way first boot may take a while (15+ mins), So don't be afraid.
Special thanks again to @mfbcool for his guide & help, and @pudup for directing me to the guide.

Thanks for the guide.
Its working for Marshmallow too. I have made a B317 deodexed Stock Rom zip file for TWRP and two test user installed Xposed.

I cant install xposed. When i install it, after reboot i get black screen with only one button of the navigation bar (i can access the shutdown menu from lock key, and i can access and the notification pannel, but nothing more). This is solved when i install the uninstall file.
My phone is already rooted. I firstly installed apk, and then installed xposed via twrp. I've tried to wipe the Dalvik but it doesnt solved.
My p8 is gra-L09, lollipop. Used this files: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v80-sdk21-arm64.zip, xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
What AM i doing wrong?

Did you deodex the rom? you have to deodex in order for xposed to work for Huawei devices, which version of Lollipop are you using?.
I flashed today the C636B320 Marshmallow firmware, and then i deodexed the rom per instructions to make xposed work on Marshmallow.
First attempt i failed because i didn't wait enough, you see the screen will get stuck on Huawei boot animation without any sign that anything is happening(no app update notification card like in Lollipop) for like a 20+ mins. Then voilà the phone booted normally. Also exposed is working fine no issues, make sure to flash xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip instead of the latest one v81 which doesn't seem to work for me.

I realized that, that i was missing the other tutorial and solved it. Thanks anyway
Android 10 comes earlier than expected, but there's no twrp to flash Magisk to gain root access. I tried to use SAR method to patch boot image, and it actually worked:
Requirements:
- A PC with ADB environment setup. * If you are using macOS, try to use a Virtual machine instead.
- XperiFirm to download Android 10 firmware.
- Magisk Manager App.
- unsin.exe program to extract sin file. Download here.
Instructions:
1. download the latest Android 10 firmware from XperiFirm, the current one is 52.1.A.0.532
2. open the downloaded folder and find boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file. it may vary on XZ2C, but it surely will start with `boot_X-FLASH-ALL` .
3. drag the boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file over unsin.exe to extract boot image, then you will get boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img in the same directory.
4. Copy boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img into your phone.
5. Install Magisk manager app, and make sure your phone is connected to the internet
6. Press Install → Install → Select and Patch a File, and select boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img
7. Copy the patched image from your device to your PC, then flash it with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
after reboot the devices, your XZ2 is should be rooted, but it probably not pass SafetyNet Check, you can use MagiskHide Props Config Module to fix it.
I can't find the way to leave the boot image and patched boot image down below as the attachments, but even if I did, I still suggest to do it manually, just in case I am an idiot and it might broke your phone.

is it still true after Pie update?

This is independent of any android version.
Unlocking the bootloader means erasing all important cert keys, image enhancements (both on screen and on camera) and revoking the security verification of some applications.
Thanks for posting this! Figured I'm chime in with my experience:
1. I'd recommend wiping userdata when upgrading to Android 10 - I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but I do know that I haven't experienced the unresponsive fingerprint sensor issue others have mentioned, or any other issues.
2. If you want to use Xposed modules like GravityBox, don't install EdXposed! The versions in the Magisk stable repository are not compatible with Android 10 and will bootloop, and even the beta version 0.4.6.0 from https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases doesn't work with any module I tried.
3. Fortunately, https://taichi.cool/ works perfectly with GravityBox! Install it along with its Magisk module, and then install GravityBox Q beta 6 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v10-0-0-beta-1-android-10-t3974497.
works on my xz2c
@everyone who is interested in getting EdXposed working with Android 10
You need to add the following Magisk modules:
1. Riru - Core 19.6 from here
2. EdXposed-SandHook-0.4.6.1 from here (not the YAHFA version!)
Further you need to install the most current Xposed Manager app from here (the default Xposed Installer app won't work, so deinstall it!).
After a soft reboot, it should work :good:
Most probably it'll break Safety Net (have a look inside Magisk Manager). As a workaround, you have to open Xposed Manager and black-list the following:
- Google PlayStore
- Google Play Services
- Google-Services-Framework
Reboot system
Done!
> Apply your modules (maybe not every module will work. I have successfully tested AFWall+ and XprivacyLUA)

Thanks a lot for your kind help to get this working :highfive:

Hello, thanks for this little tutorial !
However, on another thread, ppl aren't singing the same tune ! Look at this answer that I get. @Ænimal explained me that YAHFA version should be better, especially if I want to use XPrivacyLUA.
I guess I should follow your instruction, but I downgraded my XZ2C to Android 9 from 10. I don't know if it will work as you.
I tried with this version of EdXposed : magisk-EdXposed-SandHook-v0.4.6.0_beta.4471.-release.zip and after installed Riru succesfully, I installed SandHook v0.4.6.0 and I get a bootloop issue on my phone.
So I guess I have to try SandHook v0.4.6.1 and if it doesn't work I should try YAHFA v0.4.6.1.

I've always used to install YAHFA builds till android 9, with no issues. So, while you're on android 9, YAHFA is the answer!
SandHook builds, on android 10, FOR NOW, seem to cause less error than YAHFA (at least in the logs - verbose/modules), that's why I'm using it.
But, as soon as EdXposed's dev releases an android 10 YAHFA fixed version, I flash it!

Hell yeah ! This method worked for me !
I have a XZ2C (H8324) on Android 9 (build 52.0.1.8.131), and I follow step by step your tutorial, and everything worked like a charm !
I installed XPrivacyLua, it seems working. I'll post here if I have any issue to report !

Backup TA
Thank you for your post
Sorry for going offtopic, but can someone give info on how to safely backup TA? I spent two days but couldn't find any info on how to do it on (at the moment, latest) stock Android 10 (52.1.A.0.532) on H8324 (XZ2c).
The way I understand for this root procedure to work, I need to unlock bootloader, and that means losing DRM keys. Is there any info on how to restore bootloader and DRM keys after I finish rooting my device?
I tried to:
1) Downgrade to stock Android 8.
2) Use backupTA_v2 or FlashTool to backup TA.
But that doesn't work.

Hello there,
If you unlock your bootloader on Android 8, DRM keys will be lost on Android 8 so you'll lost camera definitely.
However, on Android 10 and 9, you won't lost DRM keys. Take care, you'll loose camera preview on Android 9 with this version of build and lower : 52.0.A.3.84.
So better to upgrade at least to Android 9, and the lower firmware where camera isn't bugged at all when you unlock bootloader is Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131).
Conclusion : for rooting your device, you need to unlock your bootloader. If you're running on Android 10 (build 52.1.A.0.532) then, everything will be ok, I did it myself and everything worked fine.
If you need more help on how to downgrade your firmware, just let me. Personally, I didn't like Android 10 so I came back to Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131)
So, if unlocking bootloader on android 10 we won't lose the DRM keys or any other functionality?
