I've read up on more recent versions of Samsung having trouble with the official xposed framework due to changes to ART. This has made me hesitant to install xposed framework or any xposed module on my phone because I can't afford a new phone and I really would prefer not to deal with a bootloop. My android version is 4.4.2. Would it be safe (I know there are risks involved no matter what) to install xposed framework on my phone?
Unfortunatly, Samsung will not provide any more updates to that device and I assume that you are on stock ROM and rooted. If you have TWRP you can create a backup of the whole system so in case you get stuck in a bootloop and you fix it (with odin or something) you can restore it and get all your data back. From my view, it is completely safe and since you are on kitkat you don't have to flash anything you'll just download the installer and hit install
If I helped you, hit "thanks"

So Xposed has been doing me pretty well. Never had a problem until today.
Unfortunately, my most recent backup is right before I installed Xposed, and I've installed lots of apps and things since then, so I really dont wanna restore.
I installed the Xposed module, "Xposed Wallpaper" and it has rendered my phone useless. I was finally able to get into recovery and now I would like to remove the module. Is there a way to do this?
LG G2 - Sprint

TWRP recovery
Thanks!

JUST now rooted stock oc1 after flashing xposed uninstall through flashfire it got stuck on bootloop. I Odin flash to stock nonroot oc1 and used this to regain root. Currently installing flashfire to install deodexed oc1 and reinstall xposed will update. PC NEEDED to root. But it is one click. This also installs supersu. Make sure you have developer enabled and click ENABLE USB DEBUG. I wish all of you with no luck using kingroot... GOOD LUCK!
*******not responsible for anything that might happen this worked FOR ME it DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL FOR YOU Things like this can cause brick. Rooted schi545 on stock bloated clean oc1 lollipop using this*************
*****edit*** mods im new to the site but i posted this here because of a number of threads about failed kingroot on oc1 please move accordingly as you see fit thanks
UPDATE:
Flashfire successfully updated the stock wondershare rooted oc1 with rooted deodexed oc1 stock.
I Disabled supersu
Launched android pay with NO XPOSED FRAMEWORK INSTALLED
application successfully verified and added my cards
Then Used flashfire to flash xposed xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip (the frame work not installer) - listed in the link below. Phone booted fine with ANDROID IS UPGRADING at startup with 238 apps. Then installed the v3 alpha 2 installer. Says framework not active but it is.
i dont take any credit for xposed on oc1 credit due to respective owners just following direction and want to condense everything ive been doing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
This gets xposed working reliably on oc1 along with android pay (ive yet to pay so will have to update upon successful transaction but my cards are added)
I WOULD HIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY SUGGEST IF YOU WANT ANDROID PAY TO WORK ON YOUR XPOSED ROOTED OC1 DO NOT FLASH THE XPOSED UNINSTALLER it gave me a boot loop at vzw splash screen. Instead i suggest you REFLASH PREROOTED DEODEXED oc1 using flashfire to remove the frame work since flashfire performs a full wipe, then disable supersu once booted go through the android pay set up and once you have all the cards you want added reenable supersu and reinstall xposed framework via flashfire and restore your data. This is what i did... the second time which is why im advising against using the xposed uninstall zip.
So I finally got around to trying to purchase with android pay on my stock deodexed somewhat debloated and rooted xposed oc1. The phone and terminal act as if my nfc isn't even turned on nothing happens
So I have a Verizon SCH i545 S4 running Android 5.0.1 with VRUGOF1. I've learned that is version has a locked bootloader so custom roms like Cyanogen are completely off the table for me. I'm not so much worried about that but I really want to be able to basically do 2 things: remove bloatware and use xposed with the Notifyclean module to get rid of those freaking "Wifi is available" and "Location set by GPS" notifications. I was able to do this before I foolishly upgraded to 5.0.1., but now I can't.
So far I've been able to root my device by doing the OC1 Odin flash, then Wondershare. Got Supersu, got busybox, and was able to use Flashfire to install stang5litre (thinking that xposed would work on it. It doesn't). So after all that preamble, my question is how can I install a different rom like Hyperactive? I've read that you can install other roms, as long as they're Touchwiz compatible, and according to the Hyperactive release notes, it comes with xposed. But all the instructions I have read talk about installing it with a custom recovery, which I can't use since I have a locked bootloader. I tried flashing it with Flashfire just to see if it worked, and softbricked my phone, forcing me to reinstall the stock rom over Odin, and go through all the rooting stuff all over again.
Also, I have tried installing and using SafeStrap but it won't work on my phone. It boots into the Safestrap: Disabled screen with the two buttons on the bottom to start normally or go into recovery, but no matter what I press, the screen goes blank, the phone vibrates, and it just boots normally. I cannot get into the recovery function.
Is what I want possible? Is there any way at all to just get a Verizon Galazy S4 with the VRUGOF1 locked bootloader to accept xposed? Everything I've tried so far has failed and/or forced me to totally reset everything and start over. I just want to get rid of those damn persistent Google notifications.
Check out albe95's s6 rom
I've been running his s6 rom for about a month, and it's great. After turning all of the s6 edge functions off, it runs like a dream. I was able to install xposed and change all the stuff I wanted. Good luck.

I have the same base unit as you and was running xposed on Stang5litre v2 just fine. There are several versions of xposed out there and only one of them worked for me. I'm pretty sure this was the one... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952607509
I'm not running xposed now - only because I just like to keep things simple and would rather live with a few limitations than loading up mods that may give problems
I am running @stang5litre 's v3 with Xposed working perfectly fine. In your subject of the thread... you mention "hyperactive"
.....do you mean Hyperdrive ROM?

I agree, you should check out the galaxy s6 rom. I've been able to get xposed working well also. But are you sure you're flashing the right version of xposed? Try searching in the comments to see if anyone else had that problem and which exact version to use. (Despite this being a reply to hooks024;64804157's comment it is obviously directed at the maker of the thread).
Okay so I have not seen anything new in regards to us unfortunate enough to have the Cricket variant of the grand prime, so I decided to put together a little step by step to get xposed installed and running on this device, I think it may work on others as well, but since I have not attempted it then do not just assume it will. This guide is as stated in the sub line of the post for the SM-G530AZ running 5.1.1 Lollipop. I am not responsible if you brick or bootloop etc etc your device. So long as you can follow directions you should be fine.
1. First of all you must already have root access on your device, mine is using SUPERSU to handle root requests. If you do not have root yet then check forums for way to do so it is there already, however you must root with kingroot or manually with the same exploit that kingroot is leveraging in order to obtain it before attempting the install of xposed, otherwise it will fail.
2. You need to download the zip file attached to this post to your desktop or device and unzip it into your device sdcard.
3. Once you have extracted the apk and zip files into the sdcard you need to install the xposed installer apk so make sure you have enabled Unknown Sources from your settings/Security menu and you may get a warning from the device as well that is okay just tap okay and finish the install.
4. Now you need to download flashfire from the play store and install it as well. Open flashfire and flash the xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip that you will have extracted Choose flash zip in flashfire and make sure you leave automount unchecked. You can open the xposed installer app to make sure it recognized it, which it should if you flashed it properly.
5. Now you can enjoy the Xposed Framework on your device.
I am currently attempting to learn as much as I can about the trust zone and smc as I can tell you that is the only way we are going to get custom recovery and roms on this thing sadly. I am also following someone who claims to be able to rollback android from 5.0+ to 4.0-4.4.4 via jtag which is something I too have pondered on if it was possible and honestly I think it would be, I would like to explore the possibility that their may have been more vulnerabilities within the device prior to the 5.1.1 update I currently have 5.1.1 installed which is what the device had at time of purchase for me, however some may still be running 4.4.4 if you happen to be using 4.4.4 still then I cannot say whether this guide will work or not for you I think it would but you would probably need to use a little older version of the xposed installer but I am not certain, I would probably just update to lollipop if you really want to be safe about it and the firmware has been posted on these forums as well. Please hit the thanks if this helped you out at all, and if you are confused or have an issue you can pm me and I will try my best to get back to you whenever possible. But this is how I got xposed working on my device by simply rooting with kingroot, then using the mrw script to remove kingroot and replace with supersu and enabling unknown sources. The root guide that exists for this device however stated to flash some other boot.img and I actually had issues when I did that step, so after i went back to stock again I did the root guide with kingroot and did not ever flash that other boot image and all worked fine for me.
Awesome thanks. I assume install King root then flashfire then SuperSU binary then uninstall king root. For SuperSU?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you so much!!!!!! I have been trying to do this for 3 days now!!! I have soft bricked my device, restored it, got it going again, soft bricked again. Over and over. Until finally, today on my first day off all week I took the time to read your posts over again. I found this one and it finally got me there! I have the same exact phone, Cricket Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Model SM-G530AZ. I have been struggling to find a TWRP or CWP recovery and I am pretty sure there isn't one available currently. So then I found this method and FINALLY SUCCESS!!!!! Anywhere I can donate to you?
LG G5 RS988.21c, running stock ROM w/ Nougat 7.0, unlocked bootloader w/ root by SuperSU
I got the PurifyOS Xposed up and running (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221)... kind of. The installer APK showed itself as installed and active, but none of the modules seemed to function. Has anyone been able to get the (unstable) PurifyOS to work for their LG G5?
Now, in the Xposed Installer it states that topjohnwu's Systemless-via-Magisk Xposed works on LG (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268). Can someone confirm that to me? The install process isn't what I'm used and specifically the admonition under Magisk's install instructions to "Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock" isn't going to work for me as there isn't a stock RS988 21c boot image available.
Now, that said, I think that uninstalling SuperSU via the in-app uninstaller should work to clean up the boot image to stock in order to allow a clean-as-possible Magisk install, but that whole process currently seems daunting and I'm hoping someone is going to fly into this thread and utter the magic phrases that'll get my Xposed up and running without me having to stumble my way through the Magisk/Magisk Manager/Systemless Xposed process.
Help? If you have any experience with a successful and operational Xposed, please let me know, as well as what model LG G5 you're using. Thanks!
