So this thread will be about the general state of Xposed on our shield TV's. If you have any questions or need help related to Xposed on the Shield TV, feel free to ask.
First Things First, Xposed does work on the 2.1 firmware. (If someone on the Vulcan preview could chime in about 3.0 that would be great.)
Steps to install Xposed on 2.1 (Assuming you already have a working recovery)
1) Download xposed-vXX-sdk22-arm64.zip and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from this thread.
either adb push it to /sdcard/ or use a thumb drive etc etc.
2) ADB reboot recovery
3) Preform a full backup IMPORTANT (I did 2 backups, one to internal storage, and another to external usb, better safe than sorry!)
4) Flash xposed-vXX-sdk22-arm64.zip (Wiping cache after is optional)
4) Reboot to system, Booting will take longer than usual, it took about 5 minutes on my 16gb, but could take longer.
5) Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk (ES file explorer works great for this, you can download it from playstore)
6) Open up Xposed installer once installed, select framework, and it should show Xposed framework version 80 is active. If not, repeat steps 1-4, If you're still having problems, ask here. From the installer you can install modules, just make sure to activate them and reboot!
Steps to install Xposed on 3.0 MM (with a working recovery)
1) Download xposed-vXX-sdk23-arm64.zip and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from this thread.
either adb push it to /sdcard/ or use a thumb drive etc etc.
2) ADB reboot recovery
3) Preform a full backup IMPORTANT (I did 2 backups, one to internal storage, and another to external usb, better safe than sorry!)
4) Flash xposed-vXX-sdk23-arm64.zip (Wiping cache after is optional)

Hi,
Have you tried with shield 3.0? Does it works with systemless root?
Change in install procedure?
Thank you for your feedback

Haven't tried it yet, been super busy with school, currently running 3.0 stock (not even rooted). If you try it, let me know if it works! I don't see why it shouldn't

Nope, did not work for me
after flashing the zip it keeps booting forever
Arf!
I haven't time to test now.
But seems unfortunate...
Hope there will be a workaround!

I installed Xposed on the 3.0 update. Had no issues. Also installed Xprivacy. Hoping to bypass mlb blackouts with mlb.TV.
I went through the standard process for installing it. Basically the exact steps of the OP but the newest version of the framework.

App Settings module works perfectly.
Xposed and root are working fine for me on 3.0 update, I'll write another guide maybe later today, but the steps are the same, just with the updated zip (SDK 23 for MM).
Brad, is Xprivacy working for you? Any problems?

I can also confirm sucess with the sdk23 MM latest version and shield marshmellow
Xprivacy seems to be working well, except ondemand doesnt seem to pop up for any, or at least some, of the storage restrictions..........im not sure if xprivacy has been updated for marshmellow, so im not sure if storage restriction is working, i will pay attention next time i install an app from scratch........

Andy can u help me.I have installed xposed and it says it is active.Than i instaled App Settings and when i try to change Dpi or other app setting nothing happens.(i have stock 6.0 ...3.0 rooted)
Installed root and xposed on 3.0 no problems, just needed to use pen stick because adaptive storage. Cannot seem to access the bootloader via hardware method (wait 3 secs then hold power button). I Tried many variations of it to no avail... Also I have to reflash the boot loader every time to access it. If I choose kernel recovery from bootloader it just shows the android with a warning / error.
Using Xposed mod Unbeloved Hosts and Lucky Patcher. Between the two I can filter 99% of all ads.
keep getting a error when tryin to flash with twrp on my nvidia shield tv whats is the corret zip for my device? Thanks all.
K I got Xposed installed MM 3.0 But when I use KODI if I have a stream playing it stops a few mins in, If I stop all of the modules in xposed and restart KODI Starts to work again, no probleems streaming. So it has to be Xposed or one of the modules I was using. Luck Patcher, App settings, Xprivecy, yourtube, MinGaurd (Not sure full name der) , YouTube AdAway.
Just installed the latest version of Xposed following the steps on the guide. I'm on 3.3 update, rooted. No problems so far. Will test some modules and report back.

I finally unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Shield after using it for about a year. I use Xposed regularly on my Nexus 6P but wanted to know if anyone has information about Youtube Adaway Module working (or alternative). So far seems like it doesn't work everywhere.
Are there any other modules worth getting on Xposed for Android TV? Perhaps something for Xbox 360 Controllers?
Also would be very interested in Youtube HDR if anyone has a workaround seeing that it's supported officially by Youtube but their Youtube for Android TV app literally hasn't been updated since April so I take it we'll have to wait a few months. Not fun considering my 4K HDR tv has been waiting a year for this.
Thanks in Advance.

Well, Youtube Adaway Module it's working for me. About 1 hr of continuous playback and no one single ad. Xprivacy and Marshmallow SD Fix working too.
Now that Nougat has been out for months and Xposed not working on it, has anyone figured out a way to block Youtube ads? I know arter97 has patched youtube apks but nothing yet for the Shield.
Does Adguard work on Android TV?
Hello ! Is there a way to install xposed framework on A7 2017 nougat ?
Using the Magisk module with the Material Design XPSD worked perfectly on my A7(2017)

Hello! I've never posted on XDA before but since I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out a proper way to do just that so I might as well help.
This worked perfectly for my A720F/DS but it should also work with any A series nougat device. Notice that the MOST important part for this to work in other devices is choosing the correct xposed SDK according to your android system and CPU. Magisk is universal, no need to worry about download one specific for your device.
I'll start with a short summary in case you know a lot about the topic and then proceed to a step-by-step process.
Only the "systemless" AKA Magisk way works flawlessly, it's pretty simple when using the correct files. If you already have Magisk properly installed all you have to do is download the latest "Material Design Xposed Installer" and have active the 24 SDK module from the Magisk Manager app.
STEP 1
ROOT WITH MAGISK AND USE VERITY PATCH TO AVOID KNOX PROBLEMS
1. Put magisk v14.0 and dm-verity patch onto the sdcard in the phone.
Download the latest magisk from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Download the Verity Patch from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/help/how-to-install-magisk-v12-0-root-enable-t3611527 You might need this link later to use S Health...
2. Flash TWRP using Odin - You cand download both here https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/development/xcc-t3591448
Important Note for Installing TWRP on A7 2017: Disable auto-reboot in Odin so that after flashing TWRP it says PASSED but instead of rebooting and Knox un-doing what you just did, you will now attempt to go to download mode again (Vol Down + Home + Power Button) but as soon as the screen goes black (meaning the phone is off) you will instead go to Recovery mode, simply pressing the Vol Up + Home + Power Button.
3. In recovery mode, allow modifications. and under wipe there should be a button to format data. You will need to do this to flash Magisk and dm verity, if not your cellphone will be stuck on a bootloop.
4. Flash Magisk, when the process is done simply go back and flash dm verity. (this order is important)
5. Boot the phone normally, it shouldn't take long but don't worry if it takes up to 5 minutes. (In my case, when only the SAMSUNG logo showed up it would always keep going to a normal boot, but when it said A7 and the other info it would be stuck on a boot loop).
6. Open Magisk Manager app and check if you can download and install modules (it needs storage permission first). It you manage to install modules properly then skip to the next step. If it says Process Error and you can't seem to install modules then make sure you give the app the proper permissions and then on the home page of the app select Install Directly (Recommended), I guess this installs Magisk again or somethins.. This seemed to finally make it work for me. A reboot is necessary.
STEP 2
INSTALL SYSTEMLESS XPOSED FRAMEWORK SDK24 MODULE FROM MAGISK ALONG WITH MATERIAL DESIGN XPOSED INSTALLER APK
1. Get the latest "Material Design Xposed Installer" from here, it shouldn't matter if you immediately install it or install it later (like I did)https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758 (I'm 90% sure thats the one I used, if it doesn't work, try the one by Sr.CyanDroid)
2. In the Magisk Manager app, download and install the module XPOSED FRAMEWORK SDK24... It will tell you it installed correctly and reboot, you can double check by going into your Modules section after rebooting and seeing if it show up there... its a weird feeling but if it does show up that already means you successfully installed the xposed framework through Magisk.
3. Install (or just open if you previously installed it) the "Material Design Xposed Installer", it will either tell you it failed to detect Xposed or it will say its all perfect and you will be able to use Xposed normally. In case it says it failed, like it did to me, simply update the xposed app within itself. In my case, there was a notice at the bottom suggesting me to install the newest "Material Design Xposed Installer" and the problem was fixed immediately as I did it.
DONE
Keep in mind that by using this Magisk Method you are avoiding modifying the system partition, meaning its a lot less likely for you to brick your phone while trying different xposed files (apks are the only xposed files you need anyway). I hope this helps you and anyone else with this problem, keep in mind its 4am, and I'm really sleep so somethings MIGHT not be perfect. I also have a busy week coming up so I might not be able to respond any messages any time soon. Cheers!
Was looking exactly for this. Gonna try this in a day. Gonna post on the progress once done. Thanks!

Hello
could you help me?
I have phone rooted , how can i install watchfaces on my smartwatch?
Thanks in advance
you can send it via health app on your phone. be it Huawei/Honor or other apps.
Unfortunately there is a lot more to perform. I just did it myself, because Huawei's developer support for testing watch faces directly on the watch is pretty poor.
This is no tutorial, but just for you to get the idea:
* Buy a cheap, used smartphone (Nougat+), because chances are, that you end up in a boot loop plus you might not want to hack your daily phone.
* Do whatever is necessary to install a custom recovery like TWRP (bootloader unlock, root, ...) (although there may be alternatives to install xposed from within Android). Once you have TWRP you may be safe, in case the next step bricks your phone, which happened to my Zenfone Zoom. I was still able to boot into Recovery and revert my changes.
* Install the XPosed framework. (can cause bootloop)
* Install a WatchFaceEnabler module for xposed (.apk)
* Install a beta version of the Health App (like 10.1.1.001)
THEN, this beta version will show a new menu item "upload watch face from phone" or so. Pair your watch with this phone/app and you can use this menu item to select the .hwt you exported and it will upload to your watch.
Good write up! cheers
Hi,
How can I fix the Play Protect certification in Google Play without using Magisk? I already tried the method of registration the Device ID Framework (Google Service Framework (GSF)) in the Google’s Device Registration page (https://www.google.com/android/uncertified) but the status still not verifiend.
Should I lock the bootloader? If yes, can I have problem doing that with a Custom ROM and when I brick the phone again (needing flashing the Fastboot ROM)?
About that...this is a Custom ROM problem or what? I don't want use Magisk because I got some apps problem even using Magisk Hide and I realy don't need use a root device. So I solve the problems with the apps taking off the Magisk, but I got a new problem with Play Protect that don't let me install some apps like Netflix from Play Store. This is a problem that I don't want have.
I was using my Mi9SE (grus) with original ROM for 2 years and this week I chose put a Custom ROM, so I did it with Xiaomi.eu (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_V12.0.3.0.QFBCNXM_v12-10). I've bricked and learn a lot of things with this choice, but there's some that I didn't find solutions. Since I'm "old school", I need to know if I will have more awnsers from Telegram than here?
Tks!
I found this "solution":
1) Through TWRP clear the folder /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_dg_cache
2) Set the permissions (chmod) 0644 the folder /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_dg_cache
May need to clear GPay data after reboot
GPay works on my POCO F2 Pro, no Magisk, no Google Play certification
from here (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-stable-release.56191/page-124#post-574285)
The Play Protect still not passing (shows up not verified) BUT you can install the apps like Netflix normally.
So...it's working without ROOT, MAGISK and with UNLOCK bootloader.
EDIT: with that "solution" I started witnessing some bugs from Contacts in WhatsApp and higher time to install apps from Google Play.
A banking app does not run because of a rooted device.
have Magisk 23.0, tried MagiskHide.....no joy.
Google search resulted another option Xposed Installer+RootCloak
Downloaded and run Xposed 3.1.5....not installed, no matching zip were found.
Phone is an LG G4 H812, flashed with Pixel Experience Android 9, detected as an LG-H815.
Any suggestion on how to get Xposed+RootCloak installed ? or any other way to trick banking app?
Thanks!

The trick is:
Install magisk
Go in magisk settings and repackage magisk to hide it
Install your banking app but do NOT start it
Hide magisk for that app in magisk settings
Install Insular or Shelter
Use insular/shelter to clone the banking app into the work profile
Start the banking app from within insular/shelter so that it starts from the working profile NOT from regular android
Enjoy.
Thanks for your reply.
Although x-posed framework developing stopped, managed to find an unofficiaial version, and after I was able to install and run RootCloak....however bank app still did not work.
Back to stock....
Installed Freedom_OS_H815_v7.5
It is Nougat 7.0, software v29a, +flashed with Titan kernel v1.8.
Aroma installer is a great feature, every custom ROM should have it, to be able select what you want to install.
I am not familiar with Insular/Shelter app and usage, more to learn....
