if someone tells you that the best thing about Android over any other smartphone is its customizability, they are absolutely right. we, Android users always brag about the kind of freedom we get on Android OS. change the lock screen, get custom widgets, live wallpapers, change the notification panel. there are so many things you can do on Android that are locked in other mobile operating systems like iOS and Windows 8.

but that's just the beginning. once you've rooted your device, you get a lot more room to experiment with your device and get things done that weren't possible on stock Android. the types of mods you can install on a rooted Android phone take the mobile user experience to a whole other level. if root was not enough for some users, they used to flash custom roms to their phones to get exclusive features. but installing or flashing custom roms is too risky for a normal end user as it can leave your phone stuck in bootloop or even bricked.

since installing roms was quite a big task and also more than one every week, developers came up with another solution and thus came to be, the xposed framework. The whole idea behind the xposed framework is to get all the features and customization options you would get after installing custom roms without installing one. so let me tell you everything you might want to know before installing xposed framework on your phone.

xposed framework is like a set of codes that you can install on your rooted android phone. the framework is like a portal. it itself doesn't do much, but gives you a bridge with which you can install various mods and get great features on your Android. xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs.
