Since removing ads from browser and apps was one of the main reasons to root my DX I decided to make this tutorial. Problem is you can't just install AdAway (link) and run it because after a reboot you'll have to do it again. This method is keeping the ads away even after a reboot. Remember that you'll have to update AdAway-hosts files regularly.
All credits go to Yasir Javed Ansari. I only finetuned the method he described a little bit. Because his post is somewhere in another thread it seemed right to make a tutorial for it in the themes and apps section.
First of all you'll need a properly rooted DX with superuser 3.1.3 installed. See here for a zip to install superuser and busybox or here to download a pre-rooted 1.18 stock deodexed rom with superuser and busybux installed provided by infernal77. I'm using this rom on my DX and removed a lot of bloatware with Aroma (link) right after flashing the rom. Credits go to merovig for sharing info about flashable superuser/busybox-zip and Aroma and of course to infernal77 for providing his deodexed stock rom. Although it seems that this method shouldn't be necessary when using a deodexed rom I couldn't get it to work without using the command lines, so I decided to share it anyway.
In settings - power, uncheck 'fast boot'.
Install AdAway from Play Store. Run AdAway (don't download hosts files yet) and go to settings - preferences. Check 'allow redirections' and under 'target hosts file' select '/data/data/hosts'.
Reboot to recovery and then mount /system and mount /data.
While in recovery-mode connect the device to a PC and open a command prompt.
Type:
adb shell
cd system/etc
rm hosts
ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts
Disconnect the device from PC and reboot.
Now you can run AdAway: download files and apply ad blocking.
Done!
Nice one, added to Index.
@op, Good job.
Although my tutorial was word by word the same, apart from maybe few spelling mistakes. ;p
Above is required for Stock Rom which is rooted.
On custom and rooted Rom , you don't need to perform above steps as system is write permitted so running ad away normally works fine.

Hehe I know, the only thing I added was the /etc
Problem is that when I install for example infernals rooted stock deodexed rom, and then I install AdAway and hosts files, they don't survive a reboot. When I redirect the hosts file to /data/data/hosts AdAway states it can't create the symlink. That's why I still use your method even on a pre-rooted rom.

This symlink method(not mine) is present in ad away FAQs. So credit to the app team.

Nice guide, first time I'm adfree, even after a reboot
did anyone get it working on desire x... mine still shows ads in apps...
I don't know, after all I'm an amateur, but the problem nightcrow described about how stuff goes back to stock after a reboot is something that happens a lot with the DX's - same thing with the bloatware. I had to remove the bloat apps from a rom.zip and flash that to avoid the problem. Seems to me there is some kind of security built in that goes beyond the norm. Otherwise I don't see why apps like Titanium work to remove apps (even after reboot) for example on most other phones, but not the DX.
Meherzad, I followed the instructions posted by nightcrow and it works for me ... try again, reboot and open an app you know normally has ads to check if it works.
Failed first time (forgot to uncheck fast boot:banghead. Reinstalled and did everything again, now works flawlesly.
ok.. working great......

It doesn´t works for me...It may wont work because i have superuser v3.2?
Might be but I'm not sure. I'm on 3.1.3 and it works fine. Although getting ADB to work in twrp recovery is a bit of a struggle for now.
What exactly doesn't work for you?

Why do you need ADB when you have TERMINAL in twrp. Just wondering
Anyhow, ADB will be fixed soon
Thanks for the tutorial works great with Superuser 3.2. Just to clarify something, should I leave "fast boot" mode off now?

Hello!
I have flashed my SGS-I9100 successfully with CM11 M3 (Version 11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-i9100).
Now, I want to install app "OpenVPN Settings" that is depending on a specific binary openvpn.
In order to install this binary, the developer provides another app "OpenVPN Installer".
The issue with CM11 is that this installer app cannot set /system (and its related partition) to rw mode in order to put the binary to /system/xbin.
In /system/xbin another binary file "busybox" is located.
I have attached a screenshot displaying the app log.
Question:
Is there a workaround e.g. to manually set /system to rw mode and then complete the installation?
If yes, how would that realised?
Or are there other options to fix this issue?

Yes with root explorer. Don't forget to set root in phone settings.

This is my first thread.......today i am going to tell you how to install xposed framework on ZenFone 5 lollipop without pc.........all thankx shakalaka and revo89
This method is for the people who have root and does not have pc or custom recovery and unable to install xposed framework
This method would work for x86 lollipop devices but tested only on ZenFone 5, zenfone 6 (tested by @leonardo_Irion
Prerequisite:
Rooted ZenFone 5 lollipop
1.Download file
Xposed v67
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjMGFHSDF6TUNJM3M/view?usp=docslist_api
Xposed v78
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjaEhvTUJLVnlKUk0/view?usp=sharing
For Lollipop 5.1
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lCHCvFdDJjRnJMSmhNOEU0azg/view?usp=sharing
2. Extract it
3. Install xposed installer from extracted folder
4. Copy all the files and folders except xposed installer to /data/local/tmp
5. Now open terminal emulator(its an app and can be downloaded from play store) on your phone and type the following commands
To install framework
su -c chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/installer
su -c /data/local/tmp/installer
Now reboot ur phone and open xposed installer and u can see that framework is installed
To uninstall framework
su -c chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/uninstaller
su -c /data/local/tmp/uninstaller
And restart ur phone and xposed framework is uninstalled
To update framework there is no need to uninstall previous one. Simply download newer version and follow from step 2
EDIT:If after installing xposed framework it shows that your framework is not acrive and inside framework section it shows is active then update xposed installer to v3alpha4(apk is uploaded below)
UPDATE: All links updated to latest one
Press thankx if I helped

This works on ZF 5 Lollipop with Intel® Atom™ Processor Z2560?
New version is out, so i've to download 'xposed-v65-sdk21-x86.zip' and 'XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha3.apk', and recreate the structure of your folder? Two questions:
-What're installre/unistaller files? Why i need them? Where i can find them? I can reuse them?
-In your folder, 'system' folder is the same of the one in 'xposed-sdk21-x86'?
And when new versions're out we've to do this again?

Bro links are now updated now this link includes the latest version
Installer and uninstaller files are needed to copy system folder in xposed sdk21 folder at its proper place
As this method is for the people who neither have access to pc nor custom recovery(flashing also needs pc) so installer and uninstaller files are needed
Thanks for reply. But wait a minute.. here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60366947#post60366947, #7/#8 posts.. so new framework is not compatible for x86?

Your link need authorization, can you unlock it? And how works with app/framework updates?

Hello fellow xda members, I have used many other sites but haven't been on xda since my droid bionic days... I didn't give up on the v10, i contacted tung and here we are!
Any hoo the method was created by the 6th_Hokage for the boost stylo and it works with a little tweaking on our devices.
Follow the prerequisites from his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494
Here they are for quick glance
Required:
Root
Busybox installed on the device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tmanager&hl=en
Package needed Xposed Boost Stylo.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347813218
Extract the stylo zip to the root of your internal storage
you should see the installer script file and the xposed zip package
download corresponding xposed zip and installer apk
(v80sdk22arm64) and (3.0 alpha 4)
rename the v80sdk22arm64.zip to the v72 found on the root of the sd from the Xposed Boost Stylo.zip
then run it following the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-xposed-boost-stylo-5-1-1-t3192494 by kakashi aka the6thhokage
5- Open Script Manager and navigate to the installer file (script) and chose script, su then press save .
6- now select the same script and press run and choose the option according to what you want (Yes/No)
7- Wait for the script to finish, now go to Xposed Installer apk that you installed before and select soft reboot (it will turn off just power back on)
8- After restart and you may use Xposed properly
soft reboot and there ya go! Ill add more stuff when I get time
thanks peter muzyka
hey the errors don't hinder it and use kernel auditor to set permissive on boot. I also would like some coffee funds if you feel the need paypal [email protected]
I get this error message when I try to install
it should continue to run, make sure you renamed the xposed zip to the same name as the one in the file and have it placed on the root of your internal storage
I renamed the file and put the folder in the internal storage
As a zip not folder all on the root of the sd. I'll make a all in one after I get with romracer and 6th hokage
got it working. thanks.
@THADDIUS25
Like superdallas said, you must put the files from zip into root of internal storage. your screenshot is showing you put the files under "Xposed+Boost+Stylo V2"
Also did you download v80sdk22arm64 then renamed it? you can find download link from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Need to fix Google Play Store links =)
I just used the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/install-xposed-framework-to-lg-spirit-t3226809
Clearer steps by playadru182 below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66015228&postcount=48
Also, if anyone is getting a second screen error when making calls after installing xposed. Don't forget to follow @tattedup 's tutorial on second screen fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/xposed-fixes-screen-t3246515
It doesn't continue to run in my case, it just shows it can't create /proc/self/fd/
Like this?
http://imgur.com/A1FbNtS
Yeah, it does exactly like that.
Make sure Busybox is installed. As in, run the the Busybox app that you downloaded from the Play Store and install it from there.
Yeah busybox isn't installing properly for some odd reason I believe. It does not run like it usually does.
It doesn't say installed when you tried installing it?
https://imgur.com/JTfuKST
It does say installed....
What fixed it for me was either installing Busybox (I forgot ^^ or using the Terminal Emulator way that I mentioned in my comment to the OP.
When I did that it said no such file or directory
When you entered "su" then "sh /sdcard/installer" in the emulator?
Unlike the OP here that says to put the files in the root folder, put it in the /sdcard folder then try it.
I put it in the folder, but still, no such file or directory.
I posted this a while ago in the [sm-a320fl][7.0][firmware] thread. Now in a new thread, so everybody will find it.
I'm not responsible for any damage. My phone was not branded.
This tutorial is only for SM-A320FL, also known as Galaxy A3!
Make sure you read the whole tutorial before doing anything.
Make a backup of your data. You need to make a factory reset!
Also read the additional information in the separated threads! Knox will be tripped after that, so you can't use it any more. And no more Warranty!
You can find a Android 7 version with the latest security patch with google or just use the linked one. Make sure the CSC is correct for your country/language.
1. Download the following stuff:
Android 7 A320FLXXU1BQH7_A320FLOXA1BQH7_A320FLXXU1BQG6.zip thx to tys0n

I had the same problem and it drove me crazy. It appeared every time after I rooted my phone with the old "flash the SuperUser.zip via TWRP" method.
After I rooted my phone via Magisk (Tutorial above), there is no more annoying lag. :good:

Thanks for the tutorial.
I have two questions.
1. is it needed to use the Xposed installer by DVDandroid, or does the official one do the same job when using Xposed Magisk module?
2. I read you end in a bootloop when using the Magisk way on the Superman ROM thread for S7

does this also happen with A320FL? I installed Xposed in system because of that and have no problems.

2. I read you end in a bootloop when using the Magisk way on the Superman ROM thread for S7

does this also happen with A320FL? I installed Xposed in system because of that and have no problems.

In my opinion it will do the same thing and get stuck in a boot loop. Didn't try it.

Please read the tutorial! You need SDK 24 if you are on Android 7.
In my message I stated that I tried both sdk24 and sdk25 neither worked. I only posted the error message for sdk25 but it was the same for 24.

In your original post you wrote SDK25 twice. So it is not obvious you meant SDK24 and SDK25.
I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Did you use all the files in the tutorial? What phone do you have and what Android 7 version?
Is it normal that the system takes a while to boot after flashing no verity no encrypt?
Should i hard reset? It is been like 5 mins

I had the same issue - turns out I missed the formatting step in TWRP.
Before flashing no verity, go to Wipe > Format Data Partition (I cant remember the exact wording)

Oh yes, I did. My apologies. It's A5 (2017) and the firmware is A520FXXS2BQJ1 - Galaxy A5 SM-A520F OPS Australia (Optus). Do I have to use the one posted? What is that?

I only tried this tutorial on an A3. Especially the firmware and the TWRP are specialised for the A3. I think the A5 has also quite a different hardware.
Maybe someone in this thread can help you. They root A5:
A5 Root
All works great on my Galaxy A320FL, thanks !!

Anyway, I face the lockscreen lag even if I use Magisk to root my phone. So, sadly no luck for me...

its because you fllashed no verify no encrypt this zip should only be flash when you root with super su ...
am i the only one here finding this tutorial poorly written? example:
"4. Now install via TWRP the Boot image patch no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx. To do that, just copy the zip file to your SD card. Go to TWRP and install it with the Install option within TWRP. Reboot to System."
if you that and you decide to root with magisk you are fked you are gonna face the lock screen delay after you enter the password.
"5. Copy the XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid_09_09_17.apk file to your SD card and install the APK. Make sure you have third party sources enabled. Reboot to TWRP."
do we install it?? do we just leave it there???
"8. Open the Magisk Manager and search for Xposed Framework SDK 24. You need the SDK 24 or else it won't work. Install Xposed. "
witch means = find the module and install it, then enable it, then reboot. now go to exposed and install it then reboot again, now you do have it.
by the way sorry for my bad english .
Hi there.
I found something interesting by accident.
Maybe it is not necessary to install the Xposed Framework via Magisk.
Just use the Magisk Manager as a Super SU replacement and install the Xposed Framework (latest version is 89) directly via the new Xposed Installer (latest version is 3.1.5).
Official Xposed by rovo89
It seems that the phone is running a little bit smoother.
Also it seems that the boot patch is causing some problems.
Maybe the whole tutorial needs to be overlooked. But unfortunately I have now time right now.

Sorry I have to replay again. I had just a few minutes this morning.
At point 5 I clearly wrote that you have to install the apk!
At point 8 it should be clear that you have to follow the instructions from Xposed. Everybody knows that and has nothing to do with the basic tutorial.

Xposed, Root and what not is nothing for beginners. I clearly mentioned that you have to read a lot of stuff. This is not for beginners. Instead of whining and telling me how to do stuff, just write your own thread. Link everything and mention resources. Not everything in this world is baby save. You have to educate yourself!
I overlooked the whole tutorial. I think it is better now and baby save.

Thank you for your help. I updated my phone to the newest Android 7 version today. I had the same problem and solved it with your method. So I implemented this step into the tutorial.
