Installed Xposed yesterday on LineageOS without any problems via the Xposed Installer App. I chose Framework 88.1 and install via recovery. The phone restarted and installed the framework in TWRP automatically.
Installing of Gravitybox [N] and Rootcloak work, however I had my first (!!!) random reboot ever on LineageOS this morning.
I removed now Rootcloak (since it might not be up to date with Nougat).
This is what happened after I installed Xposed (see battery screenshot). The only modules were Bubbleupnp and Greenify. But Greenify did not recognize the xposed framework.
Maybe it’s a good idea to move the XPosed-for-LineageOS-Discussion to a separate thread (@paulakreuzer ?). Nobody will find it here.
But I think I already mentioned (some 100 posts ago…), that it’s not the best idea to use XPosed and it’s modules with Lineage. I filed a LineageOS Bug some time ago and they clearly excluded any support when using XPosed…
I have installed Xposed and I can’t complain. I am happy to have Xposed.
However, I do not have GravityBox. This sentence, which I found in the description page of the GravityBox(N) module refrained me from installing GravityBox: “SHOULD NOT be used with custom ROMs like Lineage, AOSPA, or any other derivative- it makes no sense since most of the features are already in the ROM (may cause conflicts and unexpected behavior)”
The modules I use so far:
FakeGapps (for microg: I could not patch the signature with Tingle, so that is why I use this module, for signature spoofing)
RootCloak ( works fine so far)
This App will Run Without Google Play Services (for the App from my local football team)
Regarding battery life, I did not notice any difference. Battery life has been pretty poor ever since I started using Lineage. I have gotten used to it. I do not use Greenify. I have never been a fan of it.
Hope these lines are of help…
Have a beautiful day!
Cheers
I installed only magisk to hide root from my banking app. It works like a charm. But I have not tested it with Xposed, since I prefer the PrivacyGuard from LineageOS.
but Xposed moduls allows to do much more as what PrivacyGuard can do, not only in the sense of privacy and apps permission. I think of OS customization etc.
In particular it allows to run apps (e.g. Amplify ) what hopefully allows me to improve battery life
When I enable root in the Developer Options the banking app complains about the device being rooted. However with Magisk you can enable root for specific apps only.
I did the following:
Install latest version of MagiskManager.apk
Make Backup of boot partition with TWRP
In Magisk choose install and then patch boot image file
choose your TWRP backup of the boot image
Flash the new boot image (/storage/emulated/0/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img) with TWRP
In MagiskManager under Magisk Hide choose your banking app to hide root
you can still grant root access to all other apps like Amaze or TitanumBackup
