Hello! Bought a MI6, unlocked it and decided to install the usual stuff, Tasker, Xposed with various modules like MinMinGuard, but the biggest obstacle so far has been the inability to boot if resource hooks aren't disabled in the settings. Have tried various combinations of Xposed and nougat based MIUI roms like global/china dev, xiaomi.eu weeklies, Epic. The modules I'm trying to run seem to heavily rely on those hooks, is there any rom out there that would actually run properly with Xposed? It doesn't even have to be MIUI based, just something that WORKS

As the title states what do you guys prefer.
My understanding is that xposed is not really meant for custom roms but for stock.
So would you prefer stock with xposed or a custom rom with PureNexus for example.
Or do you guys put xposed on custom roms. If so are there issues?

You can use xposed with eg pure Nexus, but as a general rule do not use any module that do the same as functionality built in the custom ROM. PN with xposed and greenify eg runs fine. But i wouldn't use any xposed module that messes with system settings with PN.
I would prefer a good custom ROM any day over 'patching' features with xposed modules. I feel a good custom ROM has its benefits in stability and compatibility any time.

Thanks for that I just loaded up xposed. Looks like I didn't even need to root.
Only put up N-fy and YouTube background playback. Seems to work great.
Not sure if the N-fy module messes with PN settings too much but seems to work great and give me all features of N without the issues of N.

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

Does not work on moto g5plus for me . get architecture error
update :after reinstalling apk it stated framework was active
Hi,
I tested resurrection remix 8.1 and 9.0 GSI on the Asus ROG phone and vibration and adaptive brightness never worked. So my question is why? It's a pretty basic feature in my opinion. What could I do to get those working?
I don't know much about GSI specifics but given that we have to use the stock boot image shouldn't we be able to activate device specific features like double tap to wake/sleep and gloves mode or is there a separate kernel embedded in the boot image just for GSIs with basic features only?
I would appreciate any info.
Kind regards
Whilst, yes these things are somewhat kernel related, the actual interface for these isn't standardised across different devices, double tap to wake is a system level function, but requires a kernel that supports it, the only suggestion I have is that you find the framework APK for your OEM system and the systemUI APK and try to recompile them for the GSI you are using, but making sure you take features from the OEM apps, and add them to the GSI apps, not the other way round, or you end up with your OEM software, and probably a bootloop.
I'm considering doing this for my mi mix 3 (if it's actually possible) as I want the device specific features, but don't really like MIUI, so want to try to modify the standard AOSP systemUI with the MIUI framework fetures, so it will be AOSP themes and options, but with additional MIUI device specific options, not sure if it's possible though.
Thanks for the info. Sadly I'm a total noob regarding android programming or modifying it on my own. I'm dependant on the goodwill and knowledge of others.
Due to the "Asus ROG UI" it's not exactly really compatible with Gravity box or certain xposed modules and has random app force close messages here and there.
So I'm pretty much stuck with the stock ROM and sporadic force closes.
Hey guys, I wanted to ask some questions...
1. Should I go for android P? What are the main features that would make me switch to it?
2. Should I go for LineageOS or OxygenOS? Again, what are the differences? Which one is better for battery? How strict is OOS for Xposed?
3. I saw some not-official Xposed's, are they working?

What do you mean how 'strict' is OOS for Xposed?
I haven't really needed to use Xposed for awhile. It was just so I could use YT with no ads/background playback. Now I use YT vanced. A lot of other features previously only available with Xposed are now either built-in or available as a Magisk module.
Also I'm not even sure if Xposed framework has been released for Pie...
As far as which rom to use, if you get replies here theyll be mostly split. Some swear OOS is better, some like the extra features you can get from AOSP or other custom ROMs.
Ive been using AOSP Derpfest for awhile now. It's fast, stable, decent battery and has enough extras built-in. Haven't used Lineage since it was CynanogenMod so I can't comment on that.
Forcus on stable, you should use OOS Pie
If you need extra feature, I such guest use AOSP. I personal is DU fan alongtime.
But you can try Code Name Phoenix or Omni Treskmod
OOS pie if you want a daily driver. While there are a number of decent custom roms out for pie (several of which are generally considered superior to LOS), they all have their own quirks and issues. Either way, if xposed is a must, you can use magisk to install edxposed, an unofficial pie port of xposed which remains controversial.
Use like oos or aosip. Both very stable.
Stock Oreo.
OOS Pie 9.0.4 introduces a lot more lag and scrolling jitter than OOS Oreo.
If you don't mind that, use Pie.
Can't comment on custom ROMs, but you're risking stability, camera performance and reliability if you use custom ROMs.
I can second omni treskmod it is totally smooth unlike stock pie rom and the battery is good too.

No lag here, Pie runs perfect.
I can say MSM xtended and Blissrom are very very stable. Everything works. Battery is very good and performance is top. Of course OOS should be even stabler but I personally prefer some custom rom features.
At this point, there are several ROMs with OOS camera, and a few without. The ones without, there are camera versions you can install but they don't have the auxiliary cameras available. At least not on EvolutionX. I can't seem to find any way to make them work either. I've tried several app versions and obtained a very recent OOS 13 fingerprint and setup device simulation props, and only the primary camera is detected. I even went as far as trying to use an installer for older OOS camera apps with a current OOS camera app, but I can't get it working. Tried looking at the CRDroid files and I can't see what they did either. I'm not a programmer nor an expert with ROMs but from what I can gather, I'd just need the right system or system_ext files, and maybe a particular app version, then I don't see why I couldn't compile a Magisk module similar to others I've found.
I would be interested too, nice question man
+1 from my side!
The final answer is NO.
OOS camera requires tons of OS side changes. Installing just the APK won't work at all. Porting an OOS camera to custom ROMs was already a mess and a complex thing.
The ROMs that don't include the OOS camera require additional commits/changes.
