Before we head towards the installation guide, let’s have an overview of Xposed Framework. If you’re one of the users who do not like to flash custom ROMs or who is lazy enough to do some efforts and tweak the device by means of a custom ROM and you still want to modify your device, Xposed is probably for you. Xposed Framework adds extra features and functions to your device. Basically, Xposed Framework modifies your system and brings a number of handy features that you would love having on your device. Xposed is a much better choice as compared to a custom ROM. When you flash a custom ROM, it changes the whole system of your device. To recover your device you’ve to flash a stock ROM. There’s a number of useful custom ROMs available around, but not all the users have that kind of experties to handle a custom ROM. This is where Xposed plays its role. Xposed comes in the form of a flashable zip, and to handle Xposed Modules you simply need to install its APK file. Xposed tweaks your existing system and adds your desired features that you can select from the list of available Modules in Xposed application. You can modify your stock ROM the way you want. Using Xposed your device will stay on a stock-modified ROM rather then a full custom ROM. Just in case you don’t like Xposed’s existence in your Android smartphone or tablet, you can simply uninstall it and that’s all. Android-6.0-Marshmallow

Earlier, Xposed Module was available for previous versions of Android (Android 4.0.3+). It took quite a while for developers to enable Xposed to work with Android Lollipop. Now that Marshmallow is out, all the users were keeping their eyes on Xposed Framework to be available for this firmware. Thanks to Rovo89,  Xposed developer who has just added support for Android Marshmallow 6.0 in Xposed Framework and cheered all of us up. Let’s get back to work now.
