VirtualXposed is an app to use Xposed Framework modules without root or Magisk

It has been a long time since the original Xposed Framework stopped updating, but it has obtained a second life through countless versions based on Magisk, which still require you to have your mobile rooted or at least with the bootloader unlocked. That changes with VirtualXposed which, as the name suggests, is basically a Virtual Xposed.

With VirtualXposed you can use Xposed modules without root or unlocked bootloader, with some limitations but in a very ingenious way. Basically it works as a virtual environment where the application can apply the effects of the Xposed modules that you install.

Virtual Xposed Framework, no root

Xposed Framework is a system by which you can load modules that modify how applications or the system behave. In its most popular era, modules like GravityBox became an easy way to customize mobile functions when the system itself did not include the necessary settings.

To work, Xposed needs to “get in the way” between applications or the system to make modifications, so it has always needed root, Magisk, or the like. VirtuaXposed is an alternative by which you can use Xposed modules without root. It is a free application that you can download from F-Droid.

The trick of VirtualXposed is that works as a virtual environment in which you install the applications that can be modified through Xposed modules. In other words, it is a way of cloning applications that, in addition, can be modified by Xposed modules.

The great advantage of this method is that you do not need root, although in return you will not be able to use Xposed modules that alter the system. If this is not your case, its use is relatively simple considering the technical complexity. After installing VirtualXposed, you must clone applications to add them to the virtual space.

This virtual environment has the appearance of a simple launcher, where you will see the applications that you have cloned and Xposed Framework installed and ready to use. The operation is the same as always, you must open Xposed, download, install and activate modules. You can find a list of modules that are compatible on their website. You will need to restart for the module to activate, something you can do by tapping on the app drawer icon to go to settings, then tapping on Restart.

In our tests we have tested the Disable-FLAG_SECURE module, which forces it to be possible to take screenshots even in applications that do not allow it and, indeed, has worked without problems in a secret Telegram chat. Of course, remember that it will only work within this virtual environment, and not on the rest of your mobile.
