[Lolipop][Stock] Z Ultra - Xposed Framework - Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Hey, I've recently gotten Z Ultra and I'm pretty amazed with it, I updated to Lollipop and rooted it.
I want to install the Xposed module so that I can use it's Snapprefs module, as a workaround for snapchat since it does not use Xperia's post-processing feature, resulting in very poor image quality on snaps.
But after installing the Xposed installer it says "The latest version of xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?"
Then when I check to see if the framework is installed it tells me that "Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK Version 21 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)"
"CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "Libdvm.so" needed by"/data/Data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found."
Now I do want to install the framework but these messages scared me as I'm afraid of bricking it, soft or hard.
I've seen some people showing a way to do it, but as I said I'm a noob with this so very scared of screwing things up.
So anyway I can install the xposed? Can I just install/update the framework and hope it doesn't brick?
Oh and I'm using Version 2.7 Experimental1

Sounds like you have android 5.0 (Sony Xperia Z Ultra has 5.0 and GPe has 5.1?).
I think 5.0=sdk21 and 5.1=sdk22 so This should be what you are looking for.
I have a Sony Z Ultra- GPe android 5.1 which is sdk22 so I used This
With both of them you would install the apk then flash the "xposed sdk21 or 22.zip" via recovery.

I'd say.... arm64 is for newer devices that use ARMv8 cpu's and our sony Z ultra and most devices use ARMv7 cpu's... and I'd think arm-x86 is for emulation on x86 cpu's or maybe special devices ..IDK
the thread for the Experimental xposed says... "Almost everyone should use the arm download. Use arm64 ONLY for arm64 devices (most popular ones are probably HTC One M9, Nexus 9 and LG G4). Google your device or look in build.prop if you're not sure."
So I believe...
If you are on android 5.0 then go here and try xposed-v74-sdk21-arm
If you are on android 5.1.1 then go here and try xposed-v74-sdk22-arm-by-romracer
I know the thread I linked for 5.0 has an sdk22 but I think it didn't work for me and I had to use the Experimental. But I have GPe z Ultra so idk if that had anything to do with it.. maybe the sdk22 there will work for xperia z ultra with 5.1.1.
I don't even have exposed on my phone anymore since the GPe recieved a security update OTA that broke my phone when I tried to apply it, I had to unlock the bootloader and sideload 4.4 then sideload each OTA up to 5.1.1 to my phone to get it working and I haven't gotten around to doing anything other then rooting it yet. IDK if I'll even put xposed on it this time.

If you're running 5.0/5.0.2, then download and flash the file for 5.0. If you're on 5.1(1), then flash the one for 5.1(1). Do not download the ARM64 version. That's for 64-bit devices. Ours is not 64-bit. You'll also have to install the app and flash a file in recovery if you're on 5.1(1) (that's what we had to do a month back at least).
Don't overthink it. Just download for 5.0 if you're on 5.0, and 5.1 if you're on 5.1. Not speaking to you specifically, Skuly, but people in general.

[POLL] All Xposed Users,Would you upgrade to Lollipop knowing Xposed will not work?
I own a Moto G XT1033 and decided to try on Lollipop, I tried all versions of it, L preview, 5.0, 5.0.2, CM12 CM12 was by far the most attractive to me, but I still keep returning on 4.4.4 for the single reason XPOSED does not work on ART. 4.4.4 still allows dalvik and hence I stick to it. The major modules that I miss are MinMinGuard, XPrivacy, App Settings Tell us about weather you will migrate or not? Also post in comments which modules are the reasons you won't leave kitkat Or if you are on Lollipop which are the modules that you are missing the most?
Xposed not working on B322 (Lolipop 5.1, Mate 2 L03)
It used to work well on Android 4.3 (B148). it is said that Xposed is not compatible to SDK 22 after upgraded to B322. Modifying build.prop did not make it work. The only reason to install Xposed is to use Greenify's experimental functions. Thanks for your any suggestions.
Xposed will not work with B322 at all. You will need to flash one of the Roms like Cyanogen, PAC, or Carbon to get it to work.
Android 7.0 Nougat not coming to Z2
Now that we know that the Xperia Z2 isnt recieving Nougat, I wanted it to know everyones decision on whether to stay with their Z2 on marshmallow or to upgrade. Im personally thinking of upgrading to Z5P at some point as i cannot unlock my bootloader eventhough the sim has been unlocked. So im wondering if everyone else was thinking of doing the same thing or just to stick with marshmallow. Is the Z2 still worth keeping or is it time for an upgrade? Nougat Xperia List: http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-coming-to-a-ton-of-sony-devices/
I'm seriously thinking about a Note 7. Damn phone has a range of very cool accessories. Sony is stuck.
The most likely reason the Z2 and Z3 series won't get an official update to 7.0 is that to receive a Google certification so OEMs can bundle Google apps with their updates, the phone needs to support Vulkan OR OpenGL 3.1. Sitic on Reddit explains it well. So we can build from AOSP, but Sony can't officially update the Z2 and Z3. That's why the Nexus 5 didn't get an official update from Google. That does mean we will likely never get a stable AOSP build with cameras and RIL working properly, like the case with 6.0 AOSP.
I will leave Android, and I will wait for iPhone 7
I love SONY and I dont see a point to move to another device, as there are plenty of custom roms for our device and xposed modules concerning Android N like N-ify is there to port Android N features to older devices. I think I wont move on to another Xperia device until my Z2 has hardware failure.
They should let us unlock our bootloaders now. I can't (****ty carrier locked phone) so I'm stuck with sony roms

Click to collapse I'm in the same boat, my z2 has the bootloader permanently locked by my operator. No more updates from sony and no custom rom support so i'll probably change to another device before the end of the year. Unfortunately i don't like any of the latest sony devices so i'll probably get the next nexus or a zte axon 7. I've learned my lesson, i'll never buy a device from a carrier or with an unlockable bootloader again.

Click to collapse I know how it feels it was the same for my Xperia play which had that damn bootloader unlock no its stupid in my opinion it shouldnt exist its rather damn anoying leaving me to upgrade to Xperia z as my play wasnt recieving ics at the time. I think ill keep my z2 and wait till theres a new Xperia. My z also had the same issue but when I "accidentally" got it damaged by water it was replace as Sony made it worse when running water tests on it as i presume further and luckily allowing me to unlock the bootloader. Im also wondering if Sony can do some magic with the bootload unlock no. I read that they can but its an unauthorised unlock so they wont do it.
i buy Z2 in 2014. Start with 4.4.2 os, build 314, Update to 4.4.4 os. Update to 5.0 os. Update to 5.1 os. Update to 6.0 beta build 570 - 575. Update to 6.0 os final build 291. We had 5 os updated. Every update, we don't have many error.

Well its true, Z2 went through a lot of software updates and its has exceeded the usual 2 year update period. In my opinion this device was legendary when it came out, the feature set and specs are still top notch. Ive been using it for almost 2 years and i think im going to switch to a LG G5 by the end of september, because it offers a lot of upgrades over this phone and has the most reasonable price tag between the flagships.
