Android Tool Xposed

[Sneezh 1.1k]

Overview

 

Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. With modified APKs, you to decide for one. No way to combine them, unless the author builds multiple APKs with different combinations.

 

For a quick start, have a look at XDA's "Android Basics 101" on Xposed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRR0Flqx9M8

 

Main Features

 

It basically has same features as Cydia, in Xposed you can download modules ("tweaks") that can change appearances add features etc.

example: In Xposed you enable Lucky Patcher which then improves and gives you a higher chance of free in-app purchases.

 

Some technical details:

They extended the /system/bin/app_process executable to load a JAR file on startup. The classes of this file will sit in every process (including the one for system services) and can act with their powers. And even more: They have implemented something that allows developers to replace any method in any class (may it be in the framework, systemui or a custom app). This makes Xposed very powerful. You can change parameters for the method call, modify the return value or skip the call to the method completely - it's all up to you! Also replacing or adding resources is easy, thanks to many helpers in Xposed's API that developers can use.

 

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. Many modules work for a wide range of ROMs from different vendors.
  • Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they modify the same app. 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 that developers can implement settings and do changes based on them (instead of statically forcing a certain behavior). 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 and free (as in beer and in speech).
• There is a repository with many popular modules.

 

Installation:

How to install:

The first step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
I'm not responsible for anything you do with your phone/tablet/rice cooker.
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, see below for ways to recover from it.

Installation of the framework:

1. Download the Xposed Installer and install it
2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!

You can verify this by starting the Xposed Installer again and making sure that the numbers in the "Framework" section are green.
If app_process jumped back to an older version (or none at all), you probably have a ROM with S-On or similar, which reverts any changes to /system after a reboot. Use installation via recovery in such cases.

Installation of any modules:

1. Download <module>.apk (e.g. via the builtin repository browser) and install it
2. Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
3. Enable the module by checking the checkbox
4. Reboot
5. Done

(note that you can install the framework and enable/disable multiple modules at once and reboot afterwards)

Modules:

The official repository for Xposed modules, which can also be accessed from within the app itself (with download/update support), can be found at http://repo.xposed.info
There is also a whole XDA subforum for modules and an index/request thread.

In case of a bootloop:

First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.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).

 

Warning

 

This only works with root access on Android 4.0.3 up to Android 4.4. Have a look at the support thread for instructions and FAQs.
