Xposed for 5.0.1

Fellow Edgers, now that we have converted to Developer Editions it's time to have some fun. One of the ways to do that is with Xposed modules. I'm still learning myself so if you enjoy a particular module please post it so we can all profit.
Thanks to the Xposed team and @arter97
To install Xposed on 5.0.1:
1. Download the Xposed installer apk from here.
2. Download the compatible unofficial framework from arter97 from here.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Flash the framework file.
5. Wipe cache (not sure that matters but I still do it).
6. Reboot and wait. It took about 5 minutes for mine to boot.
7. Install the APK.
8. Start grabbing modules.
9. Talk about it.
Thanks @max366 for adding the Uninstaller info. You can download here which comes from this thread. It is a good idea to download this onto your Edge before you start so that if you have issues it is easier to flash. Just boot to TWRP and Install the uninstaller

Which uninstaller zip would you use with this method?
-edit-
Finally found one that works Download From here Uninstalled just fine for me

I'm not the best person with this stuff, but I have rooted, unlocked, flashed Roms, have basic knowledge about it. Do you think I should go for the unlock or is it complicated and risky? Did you have any problems?

Not too many problems, see the official Bootloader Unlock for more detail. So far I'm not sure there are a lot of benefits but I imagine they will be coming now that there is an unlock method.

Ohh
Okay gotcha. I think i will try it later. How long was the process for you? Also are they any working Roms for you yet? Thanks

There are some rom options such as here
last night getting things figured out and trying to do it all tired for the first time i spent about 3 hours to unlock bl. If i did it again today it would probably only take 15-30 min.

Thanks Max, I've added this to the OP.

Download link doesn't seems to work for me.
Can someone send me a link?

Okay.... Iooking for some help..
I flashed uninstaller to mess around with some other stuff then flashed the framework when I was done and wiped cache rebooted but the installer apk is telling me the framework isn't installed
Any suggestions?
Update:
Still don't know why it happened but restored a full system backup from before I was messing around and got it working again

The link appears to be dead, but in the meantime I'll try a download from the forum you linked.

Glad to hear that.
I just put up the link this morning and I'll check it up after work.

If anyone was also wondering if Xposed works, I can only say that it does install, it does boot, but the phone 'settings' force closes (no message, just returns to previous window).
Steps taken:
Installed Xposed installer 3.1.1
Installed version 87 (not from recovery)
Rebooted
Reboot takes a long time, but eventually boots. Seems to work fine until I went to the phone settings and it wouldn't open.
Opened the Xposed installer again
Uninstalled (not from recovery)
Maybe results will vary with an older xposed or doing it properly from recovery, not risking it at the moment.

I've updated the link, thanks for pointing out the error.

Just tried flashing Xposed 86 (tried 87 before) through the recovery, also disabled resource hooks in the xposed installer app.
Now everything seems to work.
For anyone that is interested .

Thank you. This worked for me.
What I did:
- unlock bootloader
- access phone bootloader with phone connected to computer
- click app's "...recovery" button and select TWRP recovery file provided with app (the installation is almost instantaneous)
- boot phone into recovery (TWRP will be in Chinese but English is available)
- root phone from TWRP advanced menu (clicking the "root" button will install supersu)

Where was this, when the 5x started development? I already flashed, and rooted my 5x, but would this tool work on that? If so, I can archive it for later use, if needed, or change it, so it could work with the 5x, since they both(at this time) have EMUI 4.1. Is it possible?

I heard that EMUI has a problem with xposed, it's at the start of the honor 5x forums, in development.

Is it easy to unlock bootloader?
I have not yet gotten a 6x, but will soon. Trying to plan custom rom and etc in advance. Its really great that the device has such activity!
In G7, bootloader unlock requires getting a code from Huawei website and took some time before the phone model was on the website. It also did a factory reset after applying the code for which it gave no warning for.
I imagine its similar bit Honor, seeing as Huawei is their parent.

For 5X, there is only TWRP, not with the 1-click root function.

Anyone done this on a BLN-L24 yet?
I was gonna wait a while to mess with this thing but I just switched carriers and I need to try and get around the hotspot provisioning check.

Yes, but you simply have to flash SuperSU zip to root.

Success
Was able to find the offending files in system/app that were initiating the carrier hotspot/tethering check...deleted them and now I'm in business.
Also, if anyone is having trouble getting viper4android working (I was), there is a flashable zip in this thread that works. :good:

For those of you using official builds. Check for update.

Haha sorry I should know this by now
I should flash stock recovery first right

Yea, TWRP works. But I've been just sideloading ota's instead of unlocking and rooting for the last few years. It has also been super fast and easy with the essential.
Drivers:
https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
Google and install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot."
Download and put the ota zip file in the fastboot folder (I always rename it to the build number, too)

I'm on sprint and rooted to "F".
someone please confirm: to go to "B", first I need to uninstall majisk, the flash the stock recovery, then sideload the OTA, then flash the new TWRP then reinstall magisk?

How do I find the non Sprint/Telus OTA file to side load?

Worked fine for me. Phone is running great now with no hiccups. The past week I started getting freezes that required a reboot.. but all is well now.
Snappy and fast again.

my mic seems to stopped working since this update :/

It Is just me or they have increased the maximum brightness ? It's like they have unlocked the High Brightness Mode

Had Problem with magisk but had franco kernel installed. You have to deactivate the modules for that kernel then magisk works again. Hole that helps

Starting in Feb my phone no longer gets updates.. I'm not sure if it's because of Magisk or not. I search for update and for about 2 seconds it says preparing update and then it says you are up to date.

Use This guide: Do #4 'keep data' then #9 to root. It only takes 5 minutes.
Note: Before you start disable all your Magisk modules.

Just fastboot the factory image without the -w. It might just be personal preference but I think that's the easiest way to update if you are rooted.

I have automatic system updates disabled in developer options. It's probably unlikely since you were getting updates but could you have disabled by accident? Not sure what else would suddenly cause you to stop getting them. I doubt it's something that simple but I've beat my head against the wall for something similar in the past....lol

Disabling that toggle in developer options is a prerequisite for doing the OTA update option and retaining magisk.

bank apps and root

Hi comrades,
I have a lot of banking apps that are useless post rooting. Is there a workaround for this? I tried the island profile app and magisk hide for the said apps but in vain. Please help me out.

Hide Magisk Manager by renaming the package to a randomized one.

Menu shows 'Restore' once you have renamed the package to avoid detection.

Rebuild magisk manager with random name, try to hide apps with root with magisk menu, check safety net, if you dont pass use magisk hide props module, check manual, its configuring from terminal.

Hide magisk manager, hide the specific app in magisk hide menu, make sure safety net passes......

How do I get safety net pass?

Well, safetynett pass works and I have hid the app via magisk hide still the app doesn't run.

Hello Comrades, any help please...

The app checks your bootloader state. Just go back to stock if you really need the app

Some apps are really good at detecting root. My bank app says you are responsible for your data if root is detected and it works just fine after that warning.

edit: Safetynet is passing as per magisk test. So, I really think it's what the comrade suggested earlier - bootloader check. If that's the case, then going complete stock is the only way...
Is this a module? I'm already on stock rom so it's already got the fingerprint active...

If its a boot loader check, then a custom kernel can work.
I use ElementalX which hides boot loader state in the kernel itself.
If a system call is done for BL state, it comes back as locked.

Oh, that will be great. How do you find the kernel per-se. I'm on Arter r60 and the battery life is phenomenal. But the bootloader check at kernel level is really enticing because that really opens up a whole slew of options. I hope the recovery isn't effected when I flash this kernel; or do I need to flash the twrp image?
