How to Install Xposed, EdXposed & LSPosed Framework on Android

Prerequisites

Before we get started, let’s make sure you’ve got everything you need:

  • Rooted Device: Your device needs to be rooted. If it’s not, you’ll need to root it before continuing.
  • ADB and Fastboot Tools: These tools are necessary for flashing the required files.
  • Backup: Always back up your device to avoid losing important data.

Compatibility:

  • Android 5.0 – 7.1: Works with Xposed Framework.
  • Android 8.0: Requires Magisk + EdXposed.
  • Android 8.1 and Above: Requires Magisk + LSPosed.

Installing Xposed Framework on Android 5.0 – 7.1

If your device runs Android 5.0 – 7.1, this is the way to go. Follow these steps to get Xposed Framework up and running:

Download Xposed Framework and Installer

Before you start, you’ll need to download a couple of files:

Flash Xposed Framework

Next, you’ll flash the framework using TWRP:

  • Boot your device into recovery mode by turning it off and holding the Volume Up + Power buttons.
  • In TWRP, select Install, find the Xposed Framework ZIP file, and swipe to flash it.

Install Xposed Installer APK

Once the framework is flashed, install the Xposed Installer APK:

  • In TWRP, choose the XposedInstaller_*.apk file and install it.
  • Reboot your device using the adb reboot command.

Enable Xposed Framework

After rebooting, open the Xposed Installer app. If everything went well, it should show that the framework is installed and active.

Installing EdXposed Framework via Magisk on Android 8.0

If your device is running Android 8.0, Xposed won’t work directly. Instead, you’ll use EdXposed with Magisk. Here’s how:

Install Magisk

Magisk lets you modify your device without affecting the system:

Flash the Magisk Framework ZIP file in TWRP, then reboot your device.

Install Riru Core

Riru is necessary for EdXposed to work:

Install Riru through Magisk Manager by going to “Modules,” selecting “Install from Storage,” and choosing the Riru ZIP file. Reboot to finish.

Install EdXposed

Now, it’s time to install EdXposed:

Install EdXposed in Magisk Manager, reboot, and you’re ready to go.

Install EdXposed Manager

Finally, install the EdXposed Manager APK to handle your modules:

After rebooting, the app should show that EdXposed is active.

MInstalling LSPosed Framework on Android 8.1 and Above

For those using Android 8.1 or newer, LSPosed is the way to go. Follow these steps:

Install Magisk

Start by installing Magisk:

Flash the ZIP file in TWRP and reboot your device.

Install Riru for LSPosed

Riru is still required here:

Install it via Magisk Manager as before.

Install LSPosed

Now, let’s install LSPosed:

Install it using Magisk Manager and reboot.

Install LSPosed Manager

Finally, manage your modules with the LSPosed Manager APK:

Once your device reboots, open the app to confirm everything’s working.

And that’s it! Whether you want to add new features or just make your phone feel more like your own, installing Xposed, EdXposed, or LSPosed frameworks can help you get there. Did you run into any issues, or was it smooth sailing? Keep this guide handy, and soon enough, you’ll be making your device truly yours.
