What is Xposed Framework?
Xposed is a framework for modules that are able to modify the behaviour and looks of the Android operating system and apps. This means, that you are able to install modules which add custom ROM like features to the Android OS running on your device.
Xposed framework uses root access to directly access core Android resources and utilize them to run different modules on the device that bring new features to the OS.
So. why should you try Xposed instead of a custom ROM?
Sometimes custom ROMs can be buggy, overloaded or not even be available for your device. With the stock ROM running fine on your device, Xposed let’s you add the features you want without heavily modifying it. You can also combine Xposed with a custom ROM, to get even more features.
So Lets get Started
To install Xposed, you need Android 4.0.3+ and root access.

However, Android 5.0 is not supported till now officially due to changes in its runtime.But you can find xposed for devices running android v 5.0 and above on Xda Developers, It is important to say that Xposed is not compatible with Android’s new dalvik alternative called Android Runtime (ART). Luckily, Xposed will deactivate ART automatically if you install it. {For Lollipop and above users}
To check which Android version you’re running just go to Settings > About phone / tablet > Android version.

How to install Xposed Framework and its Modules
Download the latest Xposed framework installer app, You can also directly download the app by clicking here.After that You have to manually install the application.Make sure that you have checked unknown sources before installing.Once installed, launch the Xposed Installer app from your app drawer.
Go to Framework, and tap the ‘Install/Update’ button. It takes time, just give it time and it will eventually show you a Superuser request, which you should make sure to grant.
After installing the framework , and you have to reboot the device before you can start using the framework, so tap the ‘Reboot’ button. when your device reboots, Xposed framework will be fully installed and you’ll be ready to install its modules to start customizing your device.
Now Xposed framework itself doesn’t bring any new functionality to your device that you can directly use; being a framework, it its modules. in order to use modules you have to install them as like you install any other android app.Xposed offers a variety of modules to improve your Android experience.
I have also prepare a list of some recommended cool Xposed Modules
Xposed installer app features a Downloads section that contains lots of modules, but you can also find other modules on XDA and other websites. To install one of the modules available in the Xposed Installer app, open the app and go to the Download section(just like play store). You’ll see a long list of available modules, each with a description of what it does. Select the module that you want to install by tapping on it, and you’ll be shown further details about it.
Wait I’ll show you how, i have chosen the Advanced Power Menu module here as an example that adds advanced options to the power menu that you get when long-pressing the power button.
Scroll down on the details page and you’ll see a Download button. Tap it, and it will start downloading.
Once it has been downloaded, you’ll get a similar installation prompt that you get when installing any other android application. Go ahead and install it.
Again, Installation itself doesn’t enable the module, you will be shown a notification prompting you that the module isn’t active. Tap this notification and you’ll be taken to the Modules section of the Xposed Installer app.
Here, you can enable or disable any of the available modules using the check box next to them.
Modules may require you to reboot your device for their changes to take effect. Like In our example, the module changed the power menu of our stock Android adding Reboot and Screenshot options. The Reboot menu added by this module further allows rebooting into recovery and a soft reboot, in addition to a normal one.
