Complete LSPosed / Vector Framework Guide

The modern Xposed implementation for Android 8.1–16+. Master the LSPosed framework (including the new API 101 release) and the Vector fork for advanced app modifications and system customization.

TIP

Official Release: The original LSPosed project has released the API 101 update via their official channels. This version is highly recommended for its stability, fewer bugs, and support for the latest Android features. You can always find the latest official release at lsposed.zip.

Essential Resources ​

Choosing Your Version ​

There are currently two primary versions of the framework. Choosing the right one depends on your module requirements.

FeatureOfficial LSPosed (Recommended)Vector (JingMatrix Fork)
Primary URLlsposed.zipJingMatrix/Vector
API VersionAPI 101API 100
StabilityHigh (Fewer bugs)Moderate (Active refactor)
Target AudienceMost users, modern modulesLegacy API 100 modules
Android Support8.1 - 16+8.1 - 17 Beta
Detection HidingEnhanced (ACE, Banks, etc.)Standard

Which one should I use? ​

  • Use Official LSPosed (API 101) if you want the most stable experience and support for the newest modules.
  • Use Vector (API 100) only if you rely on specific modules that haven't updated to API 101 or if you are testing Android 17 Beta features specifically mentioned in their CI.

What is LSPosed? ​

LSPosed is a Zygisk module providing an ART hooking framework that maintains API consistency with the original Xposed. It allows modules to modify system and application behavior in-memory without touching system partitions.

What is Vector? ​

Vector is a (fork of LSPosed), Zygisk module providing an ART hooking framework that maintains API consistency with the original Xposed. The framework allows modules to modify system and application behavior in-memory.

Key Features ​

Official API 101 Release

  • Modern Standard: Moves the ecosystem to the latest libxposed standard.
  • Improved Stability: Significant bug fixes over previous versions and forks.
  • Better Detection Hiding: Enhanced capabilities to hide from banking apps and integrity checks (ACE, GoTyme, etc.).
  • KernelSU Support: Improved compatibility with KernelSU and Zygisk Next.

Vector (Legacy API 100 Support)

  • Maintains the definitive API 100 implementation for legacy modules.
  • Undergoing a Java-to-Kotlin refactor for future-proofing.

Technical Details: API 100 vs 101

API 101 (The New Standard) ​

The libxposed API 101 includes significant changes compared to API 82/100. It is designed for better performance and compatibility with modern Android internals. Official LSPosed now prioritizes this standard.

API 100 (Legacy) ​

Version 2.0 of the Vector fork finalized the API 100 implementation. If a module specifically requires API 100 and fails on API 101, you may need to stay on this version temporarily.

Installation Guide ​

Best for: Most users, easiest method

Step 1: Enable Zygisk ​

  1. Open Magisk Manager app
  2. Tap the gear icon (Settings)
  3. Scroll to "Zygisk" and enable the toggle
  4. Tap "Reboot" when prompted
  5. Wait for device to restart (1–2 minutes)

Step 2: Download the Framework ​

Option A: Official LSPosed (Recommended)

  1. Visit lsposed.zip or the Official Telegram.
  2. Download the latest Zygisk release ZIP.

Option B: Vector (Legacy/Experimental)

  1. Visit Vector Releases
  2. Download the API 100 compatible ZIP.

Step 3: Install the Module ​

  1. Open Magisk Manager > Modules tab
  2. Tap "Install from storage"
  3. Select the downloaded ZIP
  4. Wait for the installation to finish and tap "Reboot".

Step 4: Open the Manager ​

After reboot, look for the LSPosed notification or app icon.

  • If you don't see it, dial *#*#5776733#*#* (*#*#LSPosed#*#*) to open the manager.
  • New versions also include an "Action button" in the status bar notification.

Method 2: KernelSU Installation ​

WARNING

KernelSU requires Zygisk Next or NeoZygisk to be installed first for LSPosed to function.

  1. Install KernelSU and the Manager app.
  2. Install Zygisk Next via KernelSU Manager > Modules.
  3. Reboot.
  4. Download the Official LSPosed ZIP from lsposed.zip.
  5. Install via KernelSU Manager > Modules > Install from storage.
  6. Reboot and open the manager from the notification.

Module Management ​

API Compatibility Check ​

IMPORTANT

  • API 101 Modules: Require the latest Official LSPosed.
  • API 100 Modules: Compatible with Vector and some may work on Official via legacy support, but for strict compatibility, Vector v2.0 is the baseline.

How to Enable a Module ​

  1. Install the module APK (via File Manager or ADB).
  2. Open the LSPosed Manager.
  3. Go to the Modules tab.
  4. Tap the module and toggle "Enable".
  5. Select Scope: Check the apps you want the module to modify.
    • Note: For system-wide tweaks, you may need to check "System Framework".
  6. Reboot (some modules require it, others apply instantly).

Troubleshooting ​

"API Version Too New/Old" ​

  • If a module says it requires API 101, you must use the official release from lsposed.zip.
  • If a module is very old and only supports API 82/100, and fails on the new Official release, try the Vector v2.0 fork.

Detection Issues (Banking Apps) ​

Official LSPosed (API 101) has significantly better success in hiding its presence. If you still face issues:

  1. Ensure the banking app is NOT in the scope of any module.
  2. Use Shamiko or Zygisk Next's built-in hiding features.
  3. Disable "Verbose Logs" in LSPosed settings.
