How to Install Xposed on Android 5.1 on Moto X 2013

Wish to use Xposed on your Moto X 2013 running Android 5.1? Well, you can. But just installing the xposed installer apk won’t do. Xposed’s compatibility with Android 5.1 is still under testing, thankfully, user mastarifla over at XDA did a test on Moto 2013 5.1 and found the right files to use for Moto X 2013 to get Xposed running on Android 5.1.

Note: There’s no surefire guarantee that this would work, so make sure you take a complete TWRP backup before trying to install Xposed on your device.

  3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

  1. […] Xposed has grown to become as useful as having root access was once on Android. And the trouble Lollipop put on Xposed has been very worrying for a number of users, but thankfully Xposed is now getting more and more compatible with Lollipop, it even runs on the most recent 5.1 update on Moto X 2013.
