[Tutorial] Installing Xposed on MediaPad x1 - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Although the device is protected but it is an android ( The best open-source OS ) and here are the simplest steps :-
1- Rooting the device by Vroot
2- Install terminal
3- Install BusyBox
4- Install xposed
5- Write those commands in the terminal : su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chattr -R -i /system
6- Open any file manger and search for a file named set_immutable.list
7- Rename it into set_immutable.list.old
8- Go to INSTALLATION MODE in exposed frameword and tick on disable resource hooks
9- Tab on Install/Update DO NOT ACCEPT THE REBOOT
10- Go back to the file manger and rename the file " set_immutable.list.old " back to " set_immutable.list " ( you will get boot-loops if you skipped this step )
# Now you can also edit the build.prop
# As soon as you reboot the system permission will be back to the main original permission
# You also can edit host file my the same steps ( no need to say without re-installing exposed...... -_-)
# Now you can reboot

Thanks. On my rooted x1 (7d-501u, 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0 400dpi), I simply install xposed 2.5.1.
I installed appsetting 1.8, try changing dpi but no effect, no error report. Any recommendation?

If Gravitybox doesn't work, not much point for Xposed.
I am on R002C209B008 Malaysia, and although I did the system r/w commands and got Xposed installed, nothing works. After a reboot, Xposed says it's not working.
I tried 2.4.1 which installed, but none of the newer mods work. I then tried 2.5.1, which shows the framework in red color. 2.7 experimental 1 installed with green text, but again nothing works after a reboot.
The trick that used to be edit build.prop for the hwtheme=0 no longer works.
Huawei also needs to release their kernel and ROM sources.

Have you tried those steps carefully ?, i have tested them on my 7D-501u on Rom emui 2.3, emui 3.0 B002 & B005

---

Which version of xposed did you use?

---

not working
i followed your steps but it did not work well with my b010 emui 2.3 K.K 4.4.2 and besides exposed will be nothing without the gravity box
its a hell of a good app to tweak your device i wish someone find a way for this big problem we need gravity box

---

Ok, I admit I missed NOT renaming set_immutable.list.old back to its original name.
After this, Xposed 2.7.1 experimental works, and AppSettings works.
However, Dimensions and Gravitybox still do not work.
Damn you and your stupid theming engine Huawei.

I can confirm Xposed 2.5.1 framework and App Settings 1.8 module works on EMUI 3.0 B008 (for 503L).
I installed an older version of Xposed, upgrade it to 2.5.1 within Xposed, then installed the App Settings 1.8 module and I can now change DPI for apps that I want to work like they will on tablets.
The only caveat - Huawei's theme engine will break with the above arrangement (this is the same when on 2.3 B010) - u wont get any error or FC but u 'cannot' change theme; no matter which theme u choose, the icons will remain as default.
I m ok as I use Action Launcher and dont mind this cosmetic setback, against the freedom to be able to choose the DPI of each app!
I did not do any hacks nor install busybox to the X1 prior to installing Xposed, only flashed the KangVIP mod to get clean root.
YMMV

if you are sure u got Xposed 2.5.1 and App Settings 1.8 properly installed and activated (did u activate the App Settings 1.8 module within Xposed?), the only thing missing may be what the KangVIP mod did to the system, you nay want to try flashing that (your X1's bootloader must be unlocked).
if u can download from china servers, the link is as below, else i will try to upload to mediafire for u (author is quite particular abt rehosting his files)
URL: pan.baidu.com/s/1jGLzK4u
Code： 7c6s
if you cannot download from china servers, then use the link below

good luck!
(i find wifi on 3.0 B008 not as good as when on 2.3 B010, but all other new features are pretty sweet)
