Xposed Framework for Nougat is not available yet
Xposed framework has always been the framework of choice when it comes to customization of Android and the Xposed framework has been developed and maintained by the XDA senior member, rovo89. The famous module got many followers when it was launched for Android Marshmallow and the framework got many new exciting features. The developement of the Xposed Framework has seen a halt since then. Though the developer behind the famous module has always tried to share the current status of the developement, we have not heard from him in the past 3-4 months.
We have to keep in mind that the developer popularly known by his username, rovo89 has been maintaining this framework as a part-time hobby and he also has a full-time job which he is committed to at the moment. However, he is passionate about Android and its customizations. According to his last status update which came in January, the developer explained why the Xposed framework is facing a delay in developemet apart from his tight schedule.
The comments from the developer rovo89 came back in January about the status of the Xposed module for Nougat :
I have already done a lot of research and experiments for this and I’m currently trying to implement this. But as you can imagine, all of that is much effort and can easily take hundreds of hours. That’s net (working) time, not real time. If I worked on Xposed 24 hours a day, that might be done within a week or two. But, in the last year or so, my “time for Xposed stuff” was about 5 hours a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. You can do the math yourselves… There are just so many other (non-technical) things that I need or want to do. If you substract the time it took me to build the new installer version, move the repo to a new server and restore compatibility with the Nov 2016 security patches, that’s even less time for new stuff.
The full blog-post in which the developer explains all the details as to why the delay is occuring can be found here. We would hope to see the Xposed framework for Nougat as soon as possible but we understand the difficulty surrounding its developement so we would inform you about the latest status of the Xposed framework. Till then you can have a look at the Xposed Framewof for Marshmallow which is extremely stable and can be available to download from here.
