[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mGforCe:
Hello All,

I have seen posts across forum seeking support for installing Xposed Framework for our phone - Redmi 2 (wt88047).

For a new person it can be indeed confusing as Xposed files vary depending upon Android version (different for Android 5.0/5.1/6.0) as well as vary depending upon processor (different for arm, arm64, x86)

Hence this guide, following which one can easily find, download and install right version of Xposed Framework and can start enjoying various xposed modules.

Prerequisite is to have rooted phone with Custom Recovery (TWRP / CWM).

Now there are two variants of Xposed Framework. To get more insights pls read further else move to Step 1

1) Official release by rovo89 which works fine for ROMs like CM, AOSP and others based on CM, AOSP etc. Unfortunately this official version doesn't work with MIUI

2) Unofficial release by SolarWarez which is tweaked to work for MIUI devices. This works perfectly well for MIUI ROMs (including stock rom loaded on our phone as well as other custom MIUI versions like one from xiaomi.eu)

While I have linked to the original threads for the two xposed variants, it can be still confusing as there are total of 9 files (3 android versions multiplied by 3 processor types). Our device Redmi 2, though has 64-bit processor but all ROMs are 32 bit only. Hence we need to get arm files.

STEP 1 - Downloading the right type of files

File No. 1: XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk from here

File No. 2: Xposed*.zip (version 86 for all except MIUI Kitkat) installation file from below depending upon ROM type. For v87 go to next post below.

For devices running MIUI ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):

Xposed 2.6.1 for MIUI based on Android 4.4.X

SDK21 for MIUI based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)

SDK22 for MIUI based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)

SDK23 for MIUI based on Android v6.0 (Marshmallow)​

For devices running CM, AOSP or other similar Custom ROMs download one of the following files depending upon base android version (Lollipop / Marshmallow):

SDK21 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.0 (Lollipop)

SDK22 for Custom ROM based on Android v5.1 (Lollipop)

SDK23 for Custom ROM based on Android v6.0 (Lollipop)​

File No. 3: Xposed-uninstaller*.zip from here to uninstall the framework.

STEP 2 Installing the files

- Install Xposed Installer apk (file no. 1)

- Copy the Xposed*.zip (file no. 2) and the Xposed-uninstaller*.zip (file no. 3) to your sdcard

- Reboot to custom recovery

- Make a nandroid backup

- Flash "xposed*.zip" through custom recovery

- Reboot and wait, it may take several minutes to boot up depending on your ROM size and installed apps amount.

If phone doesn't boot even after 5 minutes then reboot into recovery and restore by using nandroid backup or by flashing Xposed-uninstaller*.zip

That's it... In case anything fails, pls read carefully and verify that right version of xposed*.zip file has been installed.
