Xposed Framework for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge is Finally Here

A recognized contributor and developer at XDA-Developers wanam has released a version of Xposed that should work on all Galaxy S6 variants and hopefully for all the upcoming Samsung arm64 devices. Till now Xposed Framework was limited to Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop ROMS and not the Samsung Galaxy S6. But here is an Xposed framework variant built and tested on the Samsung Galaxy S6 (G920F).

However, it is still in an experimental phase and it has been confirmed as working so far on selected tested modules. Samsung has made a lot of changes to ART without providing the sources. Hence it took a while to work around some of Samsung’s changes to the ROMS says the developer. Some changes have been made to the framework part to get it working with the AOSP ART including changes to “core-libart.jar” and “conscrypt.jar”.

There are no issues for modules like YouTube AdAway module and others, but it is still experimental and should be expecting some bugs and updates in the future. This method requires installing Xposed Framework zip file using Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP and also a Xposed Installer apk file.

Prerequisites:

• Stock Deodexed 5.1.1 ROMS. Stock ROMS are recommended. If you don’t have a deodexed Rom, Try this tool to deodex your ROM. Or use the ROM (for G920F only) by Wanam. You can also check on XDA for a deodexed Roms for your device
• CWM recovery installed on Samsung Galaxy S6.
• Xposed installer apk.

Downloads

• Get the Xposed Installer from here.
