Preparing to Install

1
Make sure that your Android's operating system is compatible. As of December 2017, the Xposed Framework is usable with Marshmallow (6) and Nougat (7) operating systems, but not with Oreo (8).
- You can check your phone's operating system by opening Settings, scrolling down and tapping About phone, and looking at the number next to the "Operating system" section.
2
Back up your Android. Before installing the Xposed Framework, it's important to make sure that your data is backed up and ready to restore in case something goes wrong during the installation.
- This is especially important if you haven't yet rooted your phone.
3
Root your Android. If your Android isn't already rooted, do so now, as you'll need your Android to be rooted before you can install the Xposed Framework.
- Keep in mind that rooting your Android generally is against the manufacturer's terms of use.
4
Enable downloads from unknown sources. This will allow you to download and install the Xposed Framework installer program. To do so:^{[1]XResearch source}
- Open
  Settings
- Tap Security or Lock screen and security
- Tap the grey "Unknown sources" switch
- Tap OK if prompted.
5
Find your Android's CPU type. You'll need to know whether your Android uses a 32-bit ARM, 64-bit ARM, or Intel CPU.
- AIDA64 is a good app to use, as you can download it, open it, and immediately select CPU to see your Android's CPU type without having to enter any code.
