An application allowing users to install modules and tweaks to customize and modify their rooted Android device, hooking into system processes and apps to inject changes without modifying APKs.
Xposed Installer is an application that provides a framework for rooted Android devices to easily install modules and tweaks that can customize and modify both system processes and apps without needing to manually edit APK files or flash ZIP files. It works by hooking into various Android system services and apps at runtime and injecting its own code to change functionality or add new features.
Some examples of what Xposed modules can do include: customize the look and feel of the user interface, add features to the stock Android system like call recording or theming, modify app permissions or ad blocking, tweak app parameters for better performance/battery life, automation with tasker plugins, and more. The installer app provides an easy way to browse, download, and manage modules from within a centralized repository.
The framework uses a combination of Riru (to inject code into the Android zygote process) and EdXposed (to hook Java methods) to apply mods and themes system-wide without modifying APKs. This means modules can add tweaks while apps still receive regular updates from the Play Store. It requires root access and may not work fully on all devices or Android versions. Overall, Xposed Installer opens up endless customization and hacking opportunities.
