Learn to Install Xposed Framework on your OnePlus 5

There are plenty of manufacturers that still spend a significant amount of time to lock their device bootloaders and add extra layers of security to prevent users from rooting and installing a custom recovery. Even in such situations, Android users manage to find ways around these hurdles; after all, Android is a great mobile operating system that offers many customization possibilities.

I think that this level of customization is why they chose an Android device in the first place. You can, for instance, choose to install a custom launcher for an improved visual experience or a custom ROM for more system wide changes. If you like the Android version on your device as it is, but want to add a few features, the Xposed framework might be the perfect solution that you are looking for and here I am to show you how to Install Xposed Framework on your OnePlus 5.
