VirtualXposed: Use Xposed Modules Without Root

Xposed utilizes modules, little applications that plug directly into the Android operating system and offer you unprecedented control over the look and feel of the smartphone. And despite its immense power, you can also undo the changes simply by uninstalling or deactivating modules, rebooting your device.

As we all know, to install Xposed Framework the device need to be rooted because the xposed framework will replace the ART runtime and app-process. But we have got good news is now you can run Xposed Modules on your device using XDA Junior Member weishu’s app VirtualXposed.

VirtualApp makes all the apps run inside the application and it uses Epic to hook the process to Xposed. VirtualApp and Epic are open-source libraries and available on GitHub. Now walk through the below points to see how the VirtualXposed application works.

1. All apps run inside VirtualApp
   A few Android applications require to enable to run apks as plugins within the original app. (You required to purchase a license to use for commercial purpose)
2. It uses Epic to actually process xposed hooks -This is an open-source library, actually inspired from xposed itself, to get a programmer to”hook” in their own apps.
3. VirtualXposed is essentially a launcher which wraps around the above two libraries, letting you install programs into the launcher which run beneath VirtualApp, and that can be hooked using Epic.
