README

        
WARNING: This is not a production release. It is still WIP. Please do not use this copy until it becomes stable. However for test and development purposes, you are welcome.

### Introduction

This is `art/` submodule of AOSP 7.1.2 which brings Xposed functionality out-of-the-box. That's, not requiring users to root their devices to install Xposed. Xposed is installed by default. Please note that you can't use this module on your existing ROMs. This ART should be placed in AOSP source tree, then building the whole ROM.

### What's the difference?

Original Xposed is kinda a patch that's applied on already built firmwares and then recompiles lots of already compiled `dex` files. But this copy of ART doesn't *recompile* anything. It on the other hand, compiles system `dex` files at the ROM build time with Xposed considerations in mind (e.g. disabling method inlining and direct call). This two are similar insofar as both share the exactly same mechanism to hook methods. Actually I've ported rovo89's commits (of course those relating to hooking) to ART of AOSP version N.

### How to build a built-in Xposed enabled firmware?

 - Replace original `art/` submodule with this copy.

 - Replace original `frameworks/base/cmds/app_process` with [the modified one](https://github.com/abforce/xposed_app_process).

 - Build [edited XposedBridge project](https://github.com/abforce/XposedBridge). That's a copy compatible with Nougat. After building you will find an APK at `build/outputs/apk`, rename to `XposedBridge.jar`.

 - Create a prebuilt module that copies `XposedBridge.jar` to `system/framework`, or manually copy it and run `make snod` to include it in the `system.img`.

 - Do the last step also for `xposed.prop`. It should be placed at `/system` in the final image.

 - Update `build/target/product/base.mk` to include `libxposed_art` and `XposedBridge` to the main makefile recipes (optional).

 

 ### Where's ART commits?

 Gone! Actually for sake of simplicity, I've flattened down all commits into a single commit, all rovo89's too.

 

 ### Issues?
