There is an unofficial Xposed for samsung touchwiz 5.0 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
I've read where lots of people are using it and they've had a great experience using it of course you need to be running a deodex version of the stock ROM there is one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/rom-t3132662
Of course backup backup backup!!
I hope that helps, good luck!!

I just found this. I haven't tried it yet on my n3, 5.0. If all goes well, I'll report back. If it doesn't go well, probably won't report back.
Works great!

This tutorial is for people with A2 Bootloader only. If you are already on official KK with A3 bootloader, don't use this since it will fail.
A lot of people are wondering how to go back to JB roms from Kitkat. So here's a little guide of how to do that without downgrading back to MJ5.
Assuming you are already on Kitkat rom with root and Safestrap installed.
Please download this togetsafestrap first.
DOWNLOAD ME FIRST
Extract the togetsafestrap folder somewhere you can access easily. ( Credit to Drakey for togetsafestrap method)
**** First backup all the data especially your phone internal storage since everything will be deleted. *****
1. Download the JB rom of your choice and copy it to external SD card.
Skip step 2 & 3 if you are not on SafeStrap 3.7.2
2. Uninstall the SafeStrap recovery.
3. Delete/Uninstall the SafeStrap 3.7.2 apk.
4. Install the SafeStrap 3.71 and install the recovery. (please make sure it says installed.)
5. Put your phone into download mode by either press power, restart, download mode if your rom has 4 ways reboot OR power the phone down, load into download mode by holding volume down+Power+Home buttons for few secs.
6. Connect to the pc. (Make sure all the drivers and everything is configured correctly.)
7. Open Odin from the extracted togetsafestrap folder earlier. Your phone should show up as connected.
8. Put AP and BL from togetsafestrap and press start.
9. Once everything is done successfully, the phone will reboot.
10. Now you should see the Safestrap recovery splash screen and click recovery.
11. Now make sure you wipe everything. (Dalvik cache, cache, data, system under Advance)
12. Install the JB rom of your choice from your external SD card
13. Once the rom is successfully flashed, just reboot it normally and you will be back to JellyBean rom with fully working Safestrap.

Let me know if you have any questions.
All credit to Hash and Drakey.
Thanks to Conekiller for those who have trouble installing 3.71. Please try out the method he did and report back if it works same for you.
Conekiller2 said:
For those of you having the issue with safestrap 3.71 not installing the recovery here is the way i was able to do it.
Reinstall the 3.72 recovery
boot into safestrap recovery
wipe rom slot
flash (install) desired jb rom via safestrap
wipe cache/dalvik
go back to main menu
reboot and select download
odin files from op
reboot
setup as usual
install safestrap 3.71
it will show newer recovery
hit uninstall recovery
hit install recovery
done

If you guys want to argue, take it to PM.
I will have a mod get involved if the hissy fits continue.

With latest version of SafeStrap this thread is pointless. Using Odin is no longer necessary.

So you're saying that I can use Odin to go from jellybean to KitKat and with the latest version of safestrap I can flash back to a jellybean Rom or restore a jellybean backup without the need of Odin?

You would still need the ap and bl file from jb to go from kk down to jb. So yes Odin is still needed. The guy above you is clueless lol

Thanks , I figured as much since we don't have an unlocked bootloader we can't just go back and forth just from recovery.

You can only do mods , flash and restore backups of the same android version, if you're in jb with safestrap then you use it to do all of those, if you're in KitKat now with the update for safestrap you can do the same, but you need the comingfromjb.zip to upgrade to KitKat, and this method to go back to jb. You can use Odin for any mods as long is the same android base.

Well that depends on the mod, if is made in zip format then you use recovery in safestrap no matter what version of android you're using, I think only tar and pit files are flashed in Odin.

Yes , the process is due to the fact that since we don't have an unlocked bootloader the different bootloader and files like modem and have to be done in Odin, that's why the two step process to go back and forth. But yes I just finally upgraded to kk, just setting up right now, to get safestrap added. I've had a bunch of previous devices and all got unlocked bootloaders so this was a learning process for myself too, but once you learn it, is easy going back and forth.

Ok cool thanks for the info and I agree about locked bootloader first phone that doesn't have a unlock for it so just wanna sure I know everything before I do it and since knoxraid thread is closed and probably won't be updated anytime soon think it's time to go back to jb and has anyone tried this yet?

you mean you rebooted and the SS doesn't even show up?
If not, then just start back from putting in download mode and odin back again. You should get back into safestrap.

I don't mess with cf. Never have, it's too much work when compared to just using odin to install twrp and then flash supersu. Google twrp, get the latest one for our decide, then Google supersu-update.zip and install that with twrp.
This will break your knox warranty btw.

That ROM is very old, you should upgrade to EclipticRez or something newer (most JB based ROMs work well)... If you are stuck on that, my guess you will need to find an Xposed flashable ZIP that you can flash via recovery, or possibly try updating SuperSU/SuperUser (I don't remember what Hawknest uses) and try the install from the app.
Why do you need Xposed on a custom ROM, it is intended for stock ROMs?

I'm on eclipticrez v9 which is the latest I could find, some apps I use need xposed.
I updated supersu and root, but I think it's just the Rom.
Where might I find a flashable xposed?

Google... I haven't used Xposed in years, sorry, can't be of much help there, just make sure it's specifically for ICS, and you can only use certain modules compatible with ICS, not all will work.

I'm not sure about stock but I recommend converting V4A to a system app. You also want to make sure the edits in the build.prop are done. You can also try making SELinux permissive by using the app SELinuxModeChanger which can be found on Fdroid.

So guides online for other phones say that you have to uninstall xposed and reinstall it. The problem is I didn't install xposed. It came with the Jasmine 6.1 from the droidyemen team. How do I install it?
Lollipop 5.0 OF1
1 Click Super SU root from androidyemen
Jasmine 6.1 rom

I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Question: How do I make backup if I don't have any TWRP or Cynogen Mod? Bootloaders are locked on Verizon Note 3. Also there are no instructions... very confusing for new rooter.
Flashfire app but still if you get in trouble it wouldn't be available to restore the backup..there might be more to it but I'm not sure..now that there is root you could just go back to stock with odin

I don't know how to use flashfire... Everything I've done how to do was by watching Youtube videos...
If you use titanium back up on the stock rooted firmware and back up data then when you flash jasmine and just restore the data it will work again. That's what I did and works perfectly

If you were on stock rom or jasmine. On jasmine you need to get the xposed Uninstaller flash it in flashfire, run snapchat cause it will work after xposed is not shown in the "framework" then use titanium backup to back up the app and data, flash the xposed installer then it should stay logged in, if not you got titanium backup again and just restore "data" of the snapchat and it will be logged in. I backed mine up from the stock rooted firmware/ROM.
