[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
No offense taken, my friend. I respect your sentiment. As a courtesy reminder, I did state that my comment in my message was for those who like using it so that those who don't like using it would not have to waste reading space saying that they don't like it. The fact we know some don't like it, this much we already know. That's no secret. However, not everyone else has your story, respectfully. In fact, I will dare say in all my years of using Xposed, all the way up to Note 3 Tweaked, I've never experienced any of your issues. Clearly there are "best practices" and that differs from person to person. I know of people who are so in love with their stable experiences with Xposed that it would be a deal-breaker upgrading to anything else that would keep them from getting another device. As part of my best practices series, I create a Nandroid before installing a few modules to see how they work and test them out over the course of a week exclusively before I bring forth anymore meaningful customizations I care enough to not want to rebuild. This way I can restore and all is gravy instantly. No one ever should really have to rebuild anything in the event of a crash if you approach your testings more wisely. We can't prevent crashes with experimenting Xposed modules, but we CAN prevent having to rebuild our phones...at ALL. Earlier last week I did something new to my phone I was not sure how to would turn out. Luckily, I always update a fresh nandroid before taking a dive. In 5 minutes I reverted to my nandroid to undo the junk I did - no lost time nor lost hair. That's preventable. But restoring a backup should not be a hassle or frowned upon. What is the philosophy of having nandroids at all? It's intended to those looking to be daring and this type of mindset accepts the fact of possible breakage here and there. Nandroids are for that reason - to afford us the opportunity to explore without casualties. Restoring a backup, for me, isn't a loss of "meaningful" time. I can do a restore while using the washroom, etc.

Since [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] has a wide audience, he would do well to bring Tweaked to a Kitkat environment. This way the usage of Xposed can be optional rather than bringing Tweaked to Lollipop and forcing a percentage of people being left out. Those who can't stand it can at least simply not install it. I'm only interested in reaching out to my comrades (like [MENTION=4730346]954wrecker[/MENTION])who do care for it and I kindly encourage only those who can provide contributional comments to chime in so maybe we can learn something new, as you'll see in the following.

As such, if there are those who do love Xposed and are torn between jumping ship or not to Lollipop, I found these very helpful alternatives to some Xposed modules. Perhaps this may ease the pain. I'm looking for more.

If anyone else here hates Xposed or you care not for it, we already know. This post isn't for you.

I know. You and MANY others who KNOW how to use Xposed wisely love it. I'm with ya, man.
