Root Xposed Framework Install Tutorial.

Welcome to the tutorial to Install XPOSED framework.
This is NOT a support forum for xposed framework or modules.

This guide thread is merely to be used to install xposed framework.

Anything you do with xposed framework has potential to BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
This device relies heavily on LG frameworks for the UI. so most system UI mod tool modules WILL NOT WORK and will send you into a bootloop/brick your system.

This guide requires you to be Rooted and have TWRP recovery installed with a Working system backup located on your external SD card or copy located someplace safe incase of the event of lost internal userspace data.

If your battery is lower than 30%, please take some time out to charge your device or connect it to an external power source. Failure to keep the device powered could damage your device during this process, or cause an event of data loss.

To install:
1) Use Quickboot or "ADB reboot recovery" to reboot into recovery.
2) Select Install, navigate to the folder where these files are located.
3) Select the zip "xposed-v85-sdk22-arm.zip" to install to activate the framework.
4) Select reboot after installation is complete (or reboot into the system manually after the install is complete)
5) Wait for your system to power on, past your boot screen and arrive into the system. (It will take a moment or two)
6) As you arrive into the system you should be presented with "Optimizing Apps" whether you are connected to power or not. This is normal.
7) Install the "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk" using a file manager of your choice.
8) Open "Xposed Installer" via your homescreen or your app drawer, if you cannot locate the app on your homescreen via shortcut.
9) You should no longer see the red text under the Framework menu of the app and clicking the option should present you with green text displaying the framework version is active - Congratulations!

To remove:
1) Use Quickboot or "ADB reboot recovery" to reboot into recovery.
2) Select Install, navigate to the folder where these files are located.
3) Select the zip "xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip" to install to deactivate the framework.
4) Select reboot after installation is complete (or reboot into the system manually after the install is complete)
5) Wait for your system to power on, past your boot screen and arrive into the system. (It will take a moment or two)
6) As you arrive into the system you should be presented with "Optimizing Apps" whether you are connected to power or not. This is normal.
7) Uninstall the "Xposed Installer" app. (If you have modules installed, use the Xposed Installer Modules menu to disable and remove them before uninstalling the App, as remnant data may exist.)
8) Reboot.

Not all modules are compatible with our device, even if you are able to download and install it. Some modules will break your system when tryign to tweak certain elements of the system.

You have been warned. You are on your own from here.

In the event of system error or bootloop, reflashing your SYSTEM data or partition from the TWRP backup you currently have may just render your device usable without removing data.
This would require you to be quick with ADB, or have an other means of getting your device into recovery mode.
(There are no button combos to activate recovery mode - so you risk locking yourself out of your device if you know no other way to force your device into certain modes.)



Happy Tinkering.
