Should I Flash the Xposed Framework's Alpha Build in Android Nougat ?

Somewhere around this 19th July, Robert Volmer, a former creator and developer of a powerful application framework which is widely known as Xposed Framework, released his yet to finish build of Xposed Framework due to peer pressure and many requests from xda members and developers and since it has a word Unfinished attached on it's title, we may wanna know whether it is okay to flash an unfinished build in your system which cannot guarantee stability and performance, so let's dive deeper into this matter.

After using xposed for nearly 20 days there are many errors I have encountered which are highly noticeable in daily usage and below I'm gonna mention all the errors which I have encountered till now, like

  • Causes Application to Force Close
If you've modules installed related to an application like I have installed one for YouTube app and I have to say it's not a serious problem. Application will work fine till you're using it but as soon as you put it's task in background it will lag and eventually lead you to force close so in contrast application will try to keep itself running but but due to implementation of Xposed Framework into the ART causes many force closes

  • Makes the Whole System Laggy
It's not an old disadvantage of Xposed Framework that it will make your system a little unstable if you're using so many modules at a time but still those minor lags are unnoticeable unless you're on Nougat, If you're using Xposed Framework in Nougat you may have faced slow processing in system like even switching from forth to back in applications takes around 3 to 5 seconds and with these heavy system lags, one can be easily frustrated

  • Many Modules are Not Yet Compatible
Since it's an Alpha build of Xposed Framework for SDK24-25, developers know that it will not gonna work as flawlessly as it is intended to be and keeping this fact in mind they've decided not to put much efforts into this, modules like Greenify, Lucky Patcher and many other essentials aren't yet compatible with this Xposed version and even you activate them in Xposed app they will not recognise the framework.


These 3 major issues which I have encountered personally while using Xposed Framework for two days in my phone with Android version Nougat 7.1.2 and there are so many other minor issues too but they're are not that noticeable.

But the main question arises here is whether to use it or not for now, by using it for two days I realised that it's causing more problems than giving me benefits and forced me uninstall it but still it's upto the user whether he wants to keep it or remove it but I will suggest to wait a little bit more till Robert Volmer releases a stable buikd of Xposed Framework for Nougat

Still if you want to install the Xposed I will be writing a detailed instructions soon here and will update the links too, and if you've already used it comment down below about your experience and let everyone know :)
