UPDATE 1: If your device is running Android 13 or higher versions, then check out this guide: How to Install Xposed/LSPosed Framework on Android 13+.
In this guide, we will show you the steps to install Xposed Framework on Android 10/11/12 using the LSPosed module. Long before Magisk modules set their feet in the custom development, Xposed Framework was the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts. And even though, modules from the systemless root app Magisk have taken over, there’s no love lost with the ever-popular Framework.
During the initial days of Xposed, Greenify, AdBlocker, and Gravity Box were some of the noteworthy names. But as of now, there have been a plethora of new and noteworthy additions to its ever-growing family. However, the original Xposed was built for Android Pie or above builds. This is where a few other developers picked up this project and have since given it a new lease.
As of now, I have personally tested it on Android 10 and 11, and the developer claims support for Android 12 Beta 4 as well (the latest at the time of writing). The installation of Xposed is now carried out by making use of the underlying Riru module. In this regard, EdXposed was the first fork that used Riru and extended the support to Xposed. However, in my personal testing, it is giving a tough time during the installation process on Android 11.
Even if you have installed Riru, EdXposed would just refuse to identify it and would instead give out the Installation Failed error. This is when I turned my attention towards LSPosed, and since then, there was no looking back. Therefore, in this guide, we will show you the steps to install Xposed Framework on your Android 10/11/12 device using the LSPosed module. Follow along.

That’s it. These were the steps to install Xposed Framework on Android 10/11/12 using LSPosed.

The Riru module has now stopped development. The preferred way to use LSposed is using zygisk which is available in Magisk. It’s easier to install LSposed and you get the same functionality as with EdXposed although the modules repositories are no longer accesible directly from either Magisk or LSposed, you need to install the modules manually. Users of magisk that read this article should be aware that with Android 12+ they may find Riru not working as happened on my phone when I updated to Android 12. It took me some time to figure this out.
