[Xposed General] CHEF-KOCH:
1.) Xposed needs root otherwise how you unlock the bootloader?! Don't spread your garbage when you have no clue what you're talking about, the over 10 years old smartphones which don't have a locked bootloader are uninteresting because a) they are not sold anymore in the shops b) modern phones do have a locked bootloader or they explicitly mention that you're not permitted to alter their system (void of warranty/support).

2.) Xposed also can be disabled in the background with some malicious code and their is no callback to warn the user, to "harden" your OS by thinking you install a module is the wrong thinking because an attacker might disable the module and as long as you won't open it you not see any messages (except debug). There is no indicator integrated because the framework was never designed to be "secure" it's also official mentioned several times.

3.) Xposed never got an audit, same like your apps nor does it improves any security on the OS while installing any modules because an attacker can see the source code of each module (there mostly open source) and try to find the loopholes within the framework (because no one did a serious check).

4.) Instead of writing modules how about working with the Android team together? Less waste of time to relay on a dead-born framework?! It's clear that this framework will die soon or later because there is only one main developer, of course, there some commiter but the hard and most important work was done by one or two people.

5.) Android OS itself has improved over the years like every OS and people can decide which apps they want to install or not. The problem, with pre-installed apps is not that the OS/OEM decided to bring the device with several apps "on board" it's more that there is no official way to remove them without breaking "the rules" or it's simply hard for normal people, but this can be changed by getting in touch with the OEM's and try to make them clear that there should be an option given.

6.) Altering the system related files or make changes to replace system files definitely needs root on every OS, some developers just decide not to touch them and these modules then of course not need these rights, however it's still possible that such apps/modules can request such rights, saying "it does not need" root is more depending on which rights each app/module insists.

One developer is simply not enough for such a framework and it's questionable if there not other modules/apps PoC's available in order to defeat the "security benefits" which are often promised from such xposed developers. I have not seen any module which improves the overal security because their concept relay on a framework which never got seriosuly tested by the Android team or security experts.
[Xposed General] ayush.gl:
[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] give us some hope please. At least one update about development of xposed for pie.
[Xposed General] M66B:
Xposed does not require root, only an unlocked bootloader. Root is mostly not required to unlock a bootloader. However, an unlocked bootloader is mostly required for root, but not always.

So, it seems more like you don't know what you're talking about.
[Xposed General] SJD Ayy:
Hey uh you and rovo89 were in contact in the past, right? Why don't you ask him about his thoughts regarding Xposed for Pie?
[Xposed General] M66B:
rovo89 is an adult who can speak for himself.
[Xposed General] CHEF-KOCH:
Maybe read what I wrote or come with examples. Oh I forgot you're only good with words and not with proof. Please show me/us how to unlock Galaxy e.g. S9 without unlocked bootloader in order to get it installed.... I'm excited ... So yes, it needs root.
[Xposed General] M66B:
I think it is the other way around because I have a device here that I use to test Xposed modules with Xposed and without root.

The procedure is actually quite simple:

Unlock bootloader

Boot (not flash) TWRP

Sideload Xposed framework
[Xposed General] CHEF-KOCH:
* Which device do you have and which OS was installed?!

* Most devices need root (higher privileges to unlock the bootloader)

* Some (especially older devices) use CWM and not TWRP, however, some recoveries are not compatible to older/newer OS/flashes which might already cause a problem if there is no TWRP available.

* Again no proof from you... (as expected)

* Most newer phones (which you actually can buy) are not easy to root/unlock because you break the warranty, unlocking the booloader also includes it (not all brands however but definitely most).

* You need root for modern phones otherwise you can't flash/access the recovery/loader or install another one because you're not able to gain the necessary rights, as shown here which means you can't even boot into CWM/TWRP.
[Xposed General] M66B:
The device really doesn't matter because the procedure will work on all devices with an unlocked bootloader for which a custom recovery is available that supports side loading (including CWM; is anybody still using this?).

Although manufacturers often say you void the warranty on unlocking the bootloader, this is in most countries unlawful, unless the manufacturer can proof you did something that caused the device to malfunction.

The article you are referencing doesn't contradict anything I said.
[Xposed General] thirtythr33:
thanks for responding, I will definitely start to explore the things you mentioned here. I know C++ (although not as well as python) but little in the way of ART runtime. but I appreciate the advice!
[Xposed General] bipufirst:
i want to install xposed in my android 9,

please suggest me.
[Xposed General] marcdw:
There is no Xposed for Android 9 / Pie.

Moto G5S Plus XT1806, BootleggersROM-Shishufied, microG (NoGapps), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Xposed General] meishigan321:
me too！
[Xposed General] meishigan321:
Another one want the andriod pie is ok? Please puts your hands.
[Xposed General] minaz_in:
Is anyone in touch with rovo ?
[Xposed General] wongpolos:
Im waiting too
[Xposed General] rcolitz:
I flashed this lineage OS to my Samsung Galaxy Tab A and it's Android 9 (Pie) and I keep searching for SDK 28 and obviously have not found it yet so maybe I will go back to Oreo. I love beta testing things so hopefully there'll be a beta version of the xposed framework for Pie?
[Xposed General] TheUndertaker21:
rovo maybe should share some documents ? maybe some other devs can take over, instead of waiting from one dev to do all the work?

just my thought
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Put a little more thought into it. Or some research. You have said the same thing others in this very thread have said. I will say the same thing. The code is there. By all means.
[Xposed General] M66B:
This is incorrect. The source code of the latest versions of Xposed is not available. Not here and not on GitHub or elsewhere.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
The latest released version is. Go from there. Or start from scratch like everyone else does.
[Xposed General] M66B:
No, again, this is incorrect, the source code of the latest versions of Xposed is not available. Only the source code of Xposed for Android 7 Nougat and earlier is available. The changes for Android Oreo were never published.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Look let me explain something. Just because you cant find it doesnt mean it's not available. It just means you don't know where to look or you have not bothered asking the dev.

So start with that and work your way up.

Or accept the truth that xposed is dead. Xda no longer backs it as they are focusing on security. So I would highly doubt seeing a big push for it. Besides you can all the changes in source of the rom and build your own rom with whatever changes you want.
[Xposed General] M66B:
Let me explain something: the author of Xposed told himself that the source code for Xposed on Android Oreo is not available. So, there is nothing to find anywhere.

Your remark about XDA not supporting Xposed is incorrect as well. This was nowhere said by anyone.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Nor would they tell you if they did. You have no idea about things going on in the background. I have been a moderator (hell If I recall right I was on the developer committee when you became a dev. I would have to check my old applications that I kept) on this site for over a decade before they took my title for using my freedom of speech. But it was expected knowing the low caliber of person the Portal Editor is. but that is besides the point.

Use your head. Look at what is going on.

As for what he said. You missed the second part about asking him. I can tell you that the code is online. Its in a private repo. But at this point I think he is done. He has alot of things going on at home. Even the Owners know that custom roms are coming to an end. Why do you think they are still supporting locked bootloaders. But that could be the sale that had something to do with that. If you want to know more ask why they are still supporting Huawei. Or see if you can get in on the weekly call with the owner and some of the older mods.

Either way you have two options.

1. Make it yourself

2. Deal with it.

Either way. Good luck

Now if you want it then make it. IF you have to then start from scratch like he did. Other then that. Well guess you will just deal with it.
[Xposed General] M66B:
I am pretty sure rovo89 is a decent developer and is keeping the source code in a private repository, but that wasn't the discussion.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
See it is. Like I said. "OR ask him" The reason being that he has said time and time again if someone came to him and showed him some work on it that he may share the code.

You make xposed mods and never dealt with him? Have you even spoken to him? He is busy with the new baby and all but if you ask and show him you are committed then im sure he will let you have access to the repo.

Either way Good luck. I no longer have a need for xposed personally now that I no longer bother rooting (like many of the moderators here)
[Xposed General] M66B:
You said "the code is here" and "the latest version is", but it simply isn't. You are spreading misinformation and when somebody says "this is incorrect" you are just twisting words.

Edit: I have nothing more to say about this because the state of the Xposed source code should be clear to anyone now.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
It is there. For those that know how and where to look. Also like you said. Its there and public up to 7.0 so start there. If you want it bad enough then its better then starting over from scratch.

Either way only you can decide how you continue. You can either A. Get to work or B. Accept it.
[Xposed General] TheUndertaker21:
Development definitely needs to be passed on to another trusted dev.

I only want exposed so I can disable signature verification other than that magisk seems to be ok
[Xposed General] State.of.mind:
Interesting read. According to the Android Developer Dashboard only 19% of users are on Oreo. Nougat has the most users at 29%. So maybe it's not that Rovo has quit working on Xposed. Maybe it's that there really isn't a strong desire for Xposed on Pie to begin with?

The only devices that I know that have Pie right out of the box are Flagship devices. Every year these devices become more and more expensive, and yet have incremental innovative features.

Rooting and Xposed allows for people to keep their devices relevant. What is missing in hardware can be accounted for in tweaks and modifications. The hunt of the best tweak is the true excitement of the whole process.

Anyways.... For those that can afford to upgrade to the latest Flagship device every year I agree that it's pointless to root. You already have the fastest and most innovative device. For the larger community that can't, their value is in the mods.

[Xposed General] M66B:
You are again just twisting words and adding nothing useful.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
What ever dude. Its not my project that depend on it. So I dont really care either way and always advised people to avoid it anyway so good luck. You will need it.
[Xposed General] M66B:
XPrivacyLua depends on Xposed, but that doesn't mean I depend on XPrivacyLua.

[MENTION=8734043]drvimu[/MENTION]

any problems doing this?
[Xposed General] minaz_in:
How to do this ?
[Xposed General] M66B:
I think it is pretty unethical to write things like this while you didn't try it yourself. This is just fake news causing trouble for people because it will just result in a boot loop.

Save your time and don't try this!
[Xposed General] jawz101:
You might want to think about percents and probabilities a little different. How about if I say "1 in 5 people you think are cute have an STD"? Or what about "You have a 1 in 3 chance of getting the diabetus." Do you like those odds?

Even a few % of something is significant. In Android's case, we're talking hundreds of millions, right?
[Xposed General] aeroman:
Is Xposed dead now? :d

Oreo is still in beta and there is nothing for Pie oO

R.I.P Xposed 2018 [emoji33]

No
[Xposed General] HyperCriSiS:
You have any information that we don't have?
[Xposed General] HorstiG:
Wait a little
[Xposed General] davidnghk:
+1 for Android 9, I can't upgrade to Android Pie unless there is xposed.
[Xposed General] HyperCriSiS:
Just spit it out what do you know :)
[Xposed General] mrhamed:
me too :(
[Xposed General] MPK99:
Xposed....for....Pie.... When?...?
[Xposed General] Valiante:
Rovo accept the community's help and let us develop with you
[Xposed General] aeroman:
Never is dead, Oreo is still beta. Never gets stable or official status.

How can there a version for Pie?

The developer is quiet. [emoji26]

RIP xposed

[Xposed General] Johnn78:
Any hope about Xposed for Pie ? Do we know something ? If [MENTION=5258659]revo89[/MENTION] has given up then we thanks him about his offer for Xposed but to admit officially that he won't update other new version on Xposed so that to not wait without sense the new version so that to update our devices to Pie because many of us, don't update to Pie so that to have Xposed until to be available for Pie version. Or the best is if he has taken his finally decision to not update Xposed anymore then to not be selfish for everybody's sake & to reveal the source code of Xposed so that someonelse who have the ability, to update to Pie version & general in future's versions (Android Q,R etc...).
[Xposed General] Pupet_Master:
No hope untill Rovo have time (and i bet he wont have).

This is the only bad thing of hobby and opensource/free programing. Life always happen and this kind of project, that demand a lot from a team (so imagine 1 person) become impossible once we get family and/or a more demanding job.

On the 29th will be 1 year since the last update.. let that sink... ONE YEAR!!!

Since not just a release but ANY UPDATE.

Give up as i did..
[Xposed General] rafikowy:
I also gave up. It would be nice to see some statement from rovo89 anyway.
[Xposed General] Johnn78:
Ok. I can understand that he may not have free time but he should have announced if he is going to build the new version or not so that we don't stay in oreo os by hoping that we will go to Pie when the Xposed will be available. Also, if he won't release new version, then let reveal the source code so that someonelse who have the ability, to update to Pie version & general in future's versions (Android Q,R etc...).
[Xposed General] agraceful:
Rovo was active 9 months ago, but either way he doesn't owe the community anything. This was and is his project and if he feels like just stopping then that's what it is. Starting threads like this do nothing but pester him when he decides to get onto xda. Same thing on his GitHub. People acting like they're entitled to something. If he decides to say something, then cool we get some sort of update and if not.. Then oh well. Most if not all the code is up there (haven't checked and don't care to). Go for it. Otherwise, leave him be and stop with these silly threads. You're clogging up XDA.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Ladies and gentlemen by this user a drink of what ever the heck they want.

I hate to say it but this is why many of the great devs left. You know the ones that made bootloader unlocks, xposed, cookies home, ect. It has always been the case. People seem to forget that this is a hobby. We don't do it for the users. We don't do it for the joke people call donations or the number of thanks someone has. We do it because we find it interesting. Then we walk away when it bores us.

Too many people feel entitled to something they put none of the work into.
[Xposed General] Pupet_Master:
Every time he announce anything ppl start bit..ching.. So why bother, you how? I would do the same

He own nothing to no one
[Xposed General] snowblind2142:
Cookies Home.. man I've not heard that for aaaages.

Blast from the past :p had that on my old HTC Leo.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Nice. Yeah I had it on many devices. I still think something like the old school Rhod aka tilt 2 would still work today.

Seems to be working on Pie and even MIUI 10. I'm yet to try it myself.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
That site is banned in xda. Posting links to it will get you banned as well.
[Xposed General] Johnn78:
English tutorial or simple you install these two files ?
[Xposed General] robertogl:
This is interesting, as it aims to support the Xposed APIs.
[Xposed General] Johnn78:
Link to download the apk file or the flashable zip file ?
[Xposed General] Murmel2k:
People are acting, as if they wanted to be treated with some basic level of respect. Besides that: There are not only the users of Xposed, but also the module developers, which poured alot of time into creating the modules, which made Xposed as useful as it is/was. Time which now is wasted.

It is correct, that rovo doesn't owe anything to anyone. But the same is valid for my girlfriend: If she ditches me from one day to another, she doesn't owe me an explanation. But she would give one to me. That is what decent human beings with some manners do. And if it is just for the other person(s) to know where to focus their efforts.
[Xposed General] amakuramio:
Works for me too, on aosp pie (s9plus)
[Xposed General] zelendel:
Well get used to it. Mobile development is a hobby and people come and go and projects stops and are never touched again.

And no it is not what decent people do. People have no reason and are not obligated to explain their actions to anyone. Let alone some random people on the internet that mean less then nothing to them.

As for the mod developers. Well they all know that this is a hobby and the writing has been on the wall for years. Things like roms and xposed was never meant to last. IT cant with the focus on security.
[Xposed General] agraceful:
You obviously haven't been around XDA long. About 90% of this "community" is now whiners and kangers. Rarely do you see legitimate respect from users that don't want a handout, and I'd say about half the modders/devs on here are arrogant jerks. Majority of decent devs leave XDA because of what I've already stated. It becomes way too toxic. As already stated in a post above me, no person owes another person an explanation of anything they do. You do not own them. Xposed is Rovo's project. That simple. Leave the guy alone, because all you're doing is giving him more of a reason to stay away from XDA.
[Xposed General] Murmel2k:
You could have checked my profile. Which says, that I've registered my account almost then years ago and two years before yours. Instead of making uneducated guesses.

You still don't get it: Decent people do decent things *without* owing these things to someone. And if you don't do that, you should not be suprised, if people act like people. Permanently reciting the ever same mantra "No one owes anyone anything" over and over again does not change or educate people. And even if it would: There are always new users who would need to be changed and educated. A large part of this whining of people on XDA you've mentioned is largely based on them being left in the dark on projects they care about, on various occations. Either you don't leave them in the dark or you have to deal with the whining. You can't have the one without the other. And no, you won't be able to educate even remotley all of them.
[Xposed General] zelendel:
No because if people keep whining then they just get banned. Real simple.

OK first off if you are caring about software. Well then your priorities are a bit out of wack.

This is no different then whe nsomeine you know moves away. They don't always tell you.

As for decent people. Well decent people don't go around acting like little children throwing temper tandrums when they don't get their way. Decent people will understand that developers here are not their friends. Decent people respect aoemone privacy.

I don't think you really have any understanding of what it means to be a decent person. Other wise you wouldn't keep hounding someone.

As for as long as you have been here then you know the rule. If you want it. Do it yourself. If you can't then either learn to do it or shut up about it. And before the whole freedom of speach thing comes up. That doesn't apply here. Also ever stop to thi k that the constant hareasmaent from users is the reason he quit. You ever think that after all these years most of us old mods know the devs personally. How about just moving on. Hell pick up the code and start in. That is what xda is about. At least for now. But the more xda focuses on security the less it can focus on things like this.
[Xposed General] agraceful:
This is my second account. My first one is a developer account and has been registered since a year after xda went public. You weren't meant to take what I said literally, but since you did you missed the meaning. Go to almost any thread here and you'll see whining and complaining. That's what a ton of users do here and mods are super slow to address it or just simply don't. That's another topic though. YOU don't seem to understand that Rovo can do as he pleases since he's an adult and has free will. It would be fantastic to get an update from him (I can't even reach him on his personal email) but hey, life happens. You deal with the cards you're dealt. That card is.. For about nine months now there's no work being done on xposed. He could very well be rewriting it for pie, but again, it's HIS code, HIS time and effort going into it. Not yours. If people were decent, they'd not act like children on here. End of discussion for me. Have a great day and I sincerely hope you learn to write code one day so you can see it from our side of the spectrum instead of just the user's side.

Should these two files be install (flashed via magisk or twrp) so that to have the Xposed framework in Pie & after we can install the Xposed installer 3.15 & will work properly as in oreo ?
[Xposed General] xerves78:
yes

[Xposed General] Johnn78:
Ok thanks. Because until now for Pie os, the xposed couldn't be work & give as solution the virtual xposed or taichi which is like xposed but work some modules & not all modules.
[Xposed General] kingerion:
For Xiaomi redmi note Pro 6 on pie not work
[Xposed General] madbat99:
That's because no modules have been updated to work on pie. And on those supposed pie xposed, hooking isn't possible. So fairly useless for many modules
[Xposed General] Johnn78:
The problem in Pie, is that the modules haven't been updated for Pie or the framework in Xposed haven't been updated to Pie ? If edxposed operates as Xposed framework in Pie, then doesn't mean that I can have compatible all the modules which I had on Oreo ?
