HOW TO INSTALL XPOSED FRAMEWORK MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1 ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER 5.5s

xposed installer

If you have read my post on how to install xposed framework for your device which was dedicated to Lollipop Android version (rooted), this time we will try to install xposed framework for 6.0.1 version Marshmallow (rooted) particularly Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5s ZE550KL device.

If you haven't rooted your Marshmallow device follow guide here.

Not much different process from the first tutorial on Lollipop but just updating the zip files intended for Marshmallow.

Instead of the sdk21 for "L", this time will be using sdk23 for "M" again thanks to rovo89 from xda-developers.com

Now make sure to check your processor so you would be able to download the correct framework if arm, arm64, x86 etc.

Things needed:

1. xposedframework.zip for "M"

2. uninstaller.zip

3. xposed installer.apk 3.1.5v

4. TWRP to flash the zip file

5. Internet connection to update xposed installer

Download the framework and uninstaller zip files for your device (here)

select_your_device_architecture

reference:

arm= armv7 or armeabi

arm64= aarch64 or arm64

x86= x86 or x86abi

For this tutorial I am using arm64 though my cpu-z app is telling me other wise as shown armv8l which I thought would fall under arm but I was wrong.

To get the correct architecture/processor for your device simply use adb to check, connect your device to PC and type the following codes: (Your device must be rooted to perform this adb shell command)

• adb shell (hit enter key)
• su (hit enter key)
• cat /proc/cpuinfo (hit enter key)

This is how it look like and our device is AArch64 which falls under arm64

STEPS:

1. Download zip files and save to your sdcard
2. Boot into recovery (power+vol down) and click INSTALL then select storage

3. Select the zip to install

SAMPLE ERROR IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE WRONG FRAMEWORK

Since I mentioned above the cpu-z app gave me a wrong reading which I thought would be under arm framework, you will get this error if you flash a wrong framework.

wrong_platform_error

To make use of xposed framework you may now click on menu and scroll to download section and install the app you need like NeoPowerMenu for your power options to boot into recovery without the hassle of holding Power+vol down etc.

You may download other apps like Greenify and Device Emulator as discussed before from my first tutorial on Lollipop xposed framework installation (here).
