Xposed Framework For Lollipop – Best Modules (Download & install)

Many things have happened lately in the world of Android. Since the release of Lollipop, developers have worked all day and all night to make their apps compatible with Lollipop. Android 5.0 is not just a huge UI update with revamped graphics elements and fancy animations that users enjoy. It is much more than that.

Most of the changes have occurred under the hood. There are many changes to list them all here, but probably the biggest and most important one is the replacement of Dalvik with ART as the default runtime system. For normal users it means that the performance is better with faster response time. For developers, it means a lot of work.

ART is completely different from Dalvik and requires new things from programs. That’s why almost no app would work when Lollipop got initially launched. Developers have to change the way their apps to work to make them compatible with Lollipop.

It has been months since the release of Android 5.0 and many developers have already updated their apps. However, one of the most important tools in the Android community, Xposed, took its time and got updated only now to support the latest version of the most popular mobile platform in the work.

Xposed is the most popular framework for Android devices which gives you the possibility to customize your phone to its fullest. And the best thing is that you do not have to install any custom ROMs or mods. Xposed works with modules, which essentially are third-party apps for the framework.

Xposed is already available for all casual users running on Android 5.0 Lollipop. If you have missed it, follow the guide how to install it.
