Yeah is a prerequisite, just search for Riru-Core and install it first

I have installed edxposed, found "XMI-TOOLS" module and disable the statusbar clock successfully.

Hi, are you still receiving OTA with rooted and Xposed installed?
It seems TWRP disables OTA
I don't mind stock recovery, just need Xposed and OTA
Also, Magisk is optional for me. Don't really need it now

You won't be able to apply OTA with root. If you perform system modification (like in this guide), you'll have to flash whole system.img before applying new OTA. With Magisk and systemless Xposed it's enough to restore stock boot from within the app to apply OTA.

that module enables that.
Tried as you wrote: flashed the xposed zip file using flashfire -> reboot -> xposed framework wasn't installed.
Then I tried to install xposed framework using the xposed app -> worked
=> Just install xposed installer apk and install xposed framework using the app.

This is the answer to all having magisk and trying to get Xposed
I just did the following procedure:
flashed official rom with miflash,
booted to rom,
intalled second october OTA update (75mb),
booted twrp with "fastboot boot recovery.img",
and then:
installed magisk 14.4
installed magisk manager,
installed systemless xposed module from within magisk manager,
and finally installed material design xposed installer
(with reboot between each step)
and finally i have magisk root and working xposed.
If i select magisk core only mode (witch disables magisk modules) it passes safetynet and theoretically i can install OTA updates (i think xposed -systemless or not- does not pass safetynet)

Completely uninstall SuperSU, flash through TWRP the unsu.zip available here on XDA thanks to osm0sis, and then flash Magisk.

Of course they works. Every module works, but not GravityBox. It can't work on an heavy Android modification like EMUI as far as I know, so unless that there's a way to make it work while on SuperSU, it isn't possible to use it on EMUI (as stated in module description on Xposed repo).

Your boot.img looks already patched by a superuser app... You didn't uninstalled SuperSU in the right way, or you're trying to flash Magisk over SuperSU. As suggested in the log, restore stock boot.img of your firmware before trying to flash Magisk, else it won't work. (Plus, try to flash latest version, V15.3, other than 13)

I've already told you how to remove supersu in the previous page dude, you need to read, not going blind.
The boot.img isn't a common file equal in every firmware, it differs by build number, region, version... begin with writing here your actual build number for extended, and I'll look for the relative boot.img (if it's available here on XDA).

Safest way to install xposed?

hello!
I have an s6 edge (G925F), running on latest global elite ROM 4.1 (nougat 7.0), and I have latest Magisk (16.0).
I want to install Xposed framework, but I'm confused which way is the safest and less bootloop-y to install it.
should I install it systemlessly through Magisk manager [Xposed Framework (SDK 24)]? or should i flash it with twrp from this thread?
i really don't want to brick it or lose anything xD​

I installed using the latest xposed installer apk & then it installed the latest xposed firmware & after a reboot which was quite long (more than 2 minutes), xposed was activated!

Install the latest xposed installer apk (non-magisk) from the official thread. Open the app & install the xposed framework & reboot. Reboot will take some time.
Then u can download some modules like GravityBox & activate & reboot to use it
If something goes wrong, idk. I think u have to try to get to twrp & dirty flash the rom you're using again.

It won't bootloop, after you flash xposed zip in twrp, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot, it will work properly.
i think its working now as its shown in the screenshot..
it took like 6-7min to boot after flashing it.. is this normal?
will rebooting take longer now after installing xposed? or its just the first boot?
one more thing, what are the best modules for nougat?
and thanks all of you for help!

New Pixel 4a owner - have a few questions!

Hey guys, haven't been in the root scene for a few years now and I'm thinking about getting back into it.
Is xposed still a thing?
I have updated to android 12.. will I need to revert in order to do any flashing?
Anyone just running stock with root/xposed? Unless I see a compelling ROM I feel like this would be my choice. How do you like it? Does everything work correctly? Is there a way to add small features like 'hold power for flashlight,' stuff like that?
Do you recommend a particular ROM? What is compelling about it over stock?
Thanks!
I used this guide and running stock android 10 with Magisk root:

Well, kind of. It now exists as a Magisk module. You need to install Riru module and LSposed module to get an "Xposed like" feature.
BUT, latest Magisk versions (Beta and Canary who are more compatible with Android 12) now have a new feature called zygisk. That feature is not compatible with Riru and LSposed. So if you're going to LSposed, use latest stable Magisk, which still works.

The only ROMs I know that exist for Pixel 4a are ABC and Proton AOSP ROMs. But, if I'm not mistaken, there aren't any ones built for Android 12.

Thanks so much! It's always frustrating, as a casual user, to come back to the mod scene and have to try to re-learn the current meta for both android modding and your particular device by wading through scattered forum posts.

It depends on what you want to do.
If you want to just root your device, you only need to do 2 things:
1 - Unlock your bootloader (see HERE )
2 - Flash Magisk patched boot.img (see HERE )
For custom ROMs and etc, you should just check the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other section. I bet there's a lot of info there about that.

Just that some Xposed apps and modules only work with android 10, and I don't see any features of A11 or A12 that I would use.

Awesome. Thanks! There seem to be some concerns in the Magisk thread about safetynet.. do you have root successfully hidden?
Is TWRP required for installing the addon module zips from your first post?

SafetyNet will fail as soon as you unlock your bootloader.
There is a Magisk module provided by kdrag0n that fixes that but the free version, for the time being, needs Riru and Lsposed to work properly. That means you need to root your device using stable Magisk 23.0 if youwant to fixe SafetyNet right away.
The magisk patched boot.img version that I've shared on that post I've pointed out to you is Canary Magisk, where Magisk Hide feature no longer exists and it's incompatible with Riru and LSposed, as I've already said.
I'm running my device with SafetyNet failing and I couldn't care less since it's not problematic for my daily usage. Any app I cannot install through playstore can be installed using apkmirror. As for Magisk hide, it doesn't exit anymore but there's a "App deny list" that works as well to "hide" Magisk from banking apps (for instance).
I'm not using TWRP since there's really no need for it on Pixel 4a.
Everything can be done through fastboot and Magisk.
Anyway, if you really want to have SafteyNet passing, you need to manually patch stock boot.img (that you may find as well on that thread I've shared) with latest Magisk stable and flash that version. Afterwards install Riru, LSposed and SaftyNet fix by kdrag0n.

I don't need to do that. Everything I have is backed up on my Google account.
Sure, /data and stuff like games or whatever needs to be downloaded again but, it's fine by me.
Furthermore, I don't use custom ROMs any more. Just stock Pixel ROM with my mods installed and I get by just fine, smooth and happy.
Cheers!

Depends on the ROM. LineageOS staff say to install the latest Android 11 image before flashing a LineageOS 18.1 rom. I'd assume that to be true for any other roms based on LineageOS.

It depends on what you want to do.
If you want to just root your device, you only need to do 2 things:
1 - Unlock your bootloader (see HERE )
2 - Flash Magisk patched boot.img (see HERE )
For custom ROMs and etc, you should just check the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other section. I bet there's a lot of info there about that.

Yes.
Everytime a new build comes up, download the factory image directly from Pixel Official firmware site, extract it, open flash_all.bat, on the update command you see a "-w" flag. Delete the "-w" and save flash_all.bat. Connect device to PC, reboot to fastboot and run edited flash_all.bat.
If you don't delete the -w, you'll lose your data.
Cheers!
Awesome....thanx!
