Xposed Installer 2.7 experimental1

This is the installer for the Xposed framework, which is a requirement for all modules.

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.

Note that this only works with root access on Android 4.0.3 or later. Have a look at the support thread for instructions and FAQs.

Feature :

  • 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.
For modules youn can look on this site .

How to install:

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 APK and install it
  2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
  3. Reboot
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 .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
(note that you can install the framework and enable/disable multiple modules at once and reboot afterwards)
