Xposed for Android 6.0 coming later this week

The Xposed framework for Android 6.0 will be released later this week, the developer says on the XDA-Developers forum. Not all modules will automatically work with the new version of Google’s mobile operating system.

According to his post on XDA-Developers, developer rovo89 is testing Xposed on a Nexus 9 with Android 6.0 and that is now stable enough for daily use. Due to the changes between Android 5.1 and 6.0, not all modules would work, but exactly which modules will not function is unknown. The first publicly available version should be released later this week.

This would make Xposed for Marshmallow a lot earlier than the variant for Lollipop, which became available about three months after the release of the operating system. Xposed is a plugin framework for modules that enable advanced tweaks on Android phones. For example, there are modules to set the language per application, to set themes in WhatsApp and to hide the fact that a user has root access to run apps that refuse to function with root. In total, the repository contains 735 modules.
