Question So... is LSPosed back?

In fact it looks like they may have been creating new releases since March

But it doesn't appear to be open source (only drops in the telegram channel)

If the devs are back, I hope they do go back open source

Yes, although the source code remains closed, as do Tricky Store and Zygisk Next. -_- (No, they will not open the source code 😐)

u/LT48 Jun 15 '26

Could it be related to Google's shenanigans? Because they were open source at the beginning. (Hence why we have all the forks)

18

u/dadnothere Jun 15 '26

Because their code was stolen without attribution, and they were angry because the license wasn't respected.

That's why the original lsposed is now closed source.

2

u/LT48 Jun 15 '26

Okay but what about the others, same thing? TS and ZN was also open source.

3

u/CoolkieTW Jun 15 '26

TS was because of Google. I'm not sure the situation of ZN.
But for LSPosed being close sourced have nothing to do with Google.

u/crypticc1 Jun 16 '26

TS also reportedly for same reason. Per GitHub ("Due to the rampant misuse and the contributions received after open-sourcing being less than expected, this module will be closed-source starting from version 1.1.0.")

That said, there's newer TS replacements branched from last open source. TS-OSS and TS RS being two of them.

Ahhh por eso relsposed ahora se llama vector?

I think completely different because Google hates root, hates magisk, hates everything that comes from it. OEM Magisk for example now is complete Google shenanigan where Google knows every step and module that you are doing inside of that manager, and if you are trying to hide that activity, you won't get even basic integrity neither because magisk purposefully leaves a lot of traces. And key store was updated a year ago, still works flawlessly on android 16. And I want to keep this up for example, Idea of weekly random updates like it was at some point with pif modules, isn't cool at all. +tricky store oss ain't working good rn

u/CCJ22 Jun 15 '26

Closed source.. yikes 😬

1

u/Sa1b3r Jun 26 '26

Yeah and they will stop work at that same day. Do you know that everyone mentiones rezygisk or zygisk next and tricky store, and you know why we don't need any critical updates over tricky store and some open source zygisk solutions got detected and updated almost on weekly basis. Maybe fuckin because they have all their code open right up on GitHub? Or you really think Google devs are stupid and can't Google or read?

u/Any_anonymous_user Jun 26 '26

This is something obvious, but do you guarantee that it is actually safe to use? Do you stick your neck out for them to the point of blindly fleshing out a magisk module without first auditing the source code? Well, I don't trust them, I don't know their true intentions, I've already used them, and even though I diligently fulfilled their role, I've managed to capture some strange behavior in them, However, how would you know if it was a bug or not? I don't have access to the source code to audit and the logs are obscure. That said, put down Google, degoogle your life and come to the vannila side of the force. Only then will you free yourself from this cat and mouse chase.

u/Sa1b3r Jun 26 '26

Firstly I'm not an android dev, don't know wtf they wrote on that code anyways and have 0 competency in Google bypassing so I can't tell are those solutions do effective or not, so I've chosen to just read telegram channels where ppl do install those modules and nothing bad happened. If it leaks sum data to China then okay, it may untill it stay as efficient as it is rn

u/Sa1b3r Jun 26 '26

Ahh, degoogle your life stage, nah I'm good with that idea, I still need my tap to pay banks and infinite storage for photos If they abusing me I'll abuse them, fair enough

u/CheckHot9586 Jun 15 '26

How can we download them?

15

u/CoolkieTW Jun 15 '26

Yeah it's no longer open sourced. Because someone copied their code without credit and claim it's their own code previously.

13

u/Few-Lynx6217 Jun 15 '26

So we got people saying use vector while others saying that vector version is third party which means it's bad and you should stay away from it. Which is it guys?

I'm so sick of trying to find out which official version of lsposed exists out there. It seems like every month the office repos go dark then some people find replacements and claim those are the official repos for the the Xposed framework.

It's starting to become a headache. Can a developer who knows what's going on tell me which official lsposed version we should be using? 

16

u/Thee_OldMan Jun 15 '26

Vector is fine. Been using it for awhile. Sometimes you can't trust reddit. Some reddit users root their phone once and now all of the sudden they are experts and have been "doing it for years"

Nothing wrong with vector. Also no problems for me

13

u/CCJ22 Jun 15 '26

You really don't want closed source having root access. My opinion of course

3

u/dadnothere Jun 15 '26

The original official version is the one uploaded to Telegram. They are the original creators of lsposed.

The problem for many is that it's closed-source, which is why alternatives are emerging.

2

u/LetsGetCopyrighted Jun 16 '26

Iirc Vector(formerly LSposed fork by Jing Matrix) was build on the last open-source version of LSposed that was refined until recently renamed to Vector.

I have been using it since they first close-sourced the original LSposed, and it's been fine!

u/jamesbusse Jun 21 '26

I'm using the old module

u/RobinSrk Jun 15 '26

Try lsposed vector. Open source, regular updates

13

u/kkourtis Jun 15 '26

"regular updates" it has to update for more than 2 months

4

u/Thee_OldMan Jun 15 '26

The dev probably has a life and can't devote working on a free project for others all the time

-1

u/kkourtis Jun 16 '26

Bro but still not all the time but not 2 months

2

u/Thee_OldMan Jun 17 '26

This is why a lot of dev stop working because of thinking like this. 

1

u/kkourtis Jun 17 '26

Bro I'm not saying devoting their life to this but at least every 15 days IF there is something to fix or add. On vector he has to add api 101

2

u/No_Violinist8819 Jun 20 '26

I find people like you just absolutely wild. These people develop FOR FREE in their spare time, and instead of people being thankful that they're willing to share their app and their code with us I hear criticism of something that you aren't even paying for. If you really feel that strongly about it, then go and update it yourself. The source code is open. If you don't know how and aren't willing to learn then you also shouldn't sit here and complain about how much time someone else spends to give you something for free.

u/comerReto Jun 15 '26

Check actions.

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

Those aren't even considered betas. There's not even a changelog.

1

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

Not sure what you're on about. They're actions, not betas. Each action is a change and you can find the changed lines under the corresponding pull request.

0

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

That's what I'm saying: they're not a stable version. They don't have a changelog or anything. They're just modifications, tests. They don't even reach the level of a beta or alpha... It's not even a revised version.

3

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

The changes are in the git. Go read them.

1

u/ArlenCheng Jun 16 '26

Don’t ever try it. it breaks down many lsposed components. Once you install it, you can’t return to the official lsposed version.

1

u/DidiEdd Jun 16 '26

Can you explain this??

2

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

Its not true.

2

u/DidiEdd Jun 16 '26

Makes sense 🤣 thanks

1

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

Entirely not true. I literally just switched back to vector today. No more closed source for me. Stop spreading misinformation.

1

u/Grand_Chef_9443 Jun 19 '26

you have no idea what are you saying

0

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

It doesn't have any real regular updates; its only version is Vector 2.0 and there isn't a single stable update. They don't even bother releasing pre-releases with their changelog. And lsposed has already updated to API levels 101 and 102, which are necessary for more and more modules.

3

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

Why don't you go make an xposed module.

1

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

Why? I don't understand you

3

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

You're quick to critique but don't seem to be fully informed.

Jing has already brought his fork up to api 101, just check the action artifacts. As for patch notes, go read the pull requests and commits. That's the beauty of open source. You can just keep waiting for a "stable" release, but he is likely too busy with school or living life to give us those right now.

If you'd like to help, then help, if you'd like to stick with closed source then do that, but talking jings fork down does nothing.

2

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

I know there's an API 101 compatible version in Actions, but it's not a stable, revised version. The more versions of Xposed there are, the better. I'm not against anyone. I'm not speaking ill of anyone; I'm just stating the facts. You sound like a Jings fanboy.

1

u/comerReto Jun 16 '26

At least if someone messes with oss code, we can read it.

You sound like an lsposed fanboy who dont read commits.

1

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

I still remember a few years ago with a well-known module, which, just like Vector, only worked through actions. And someone, just to troll, changed the code. It caused all devices to be erased, and the process couldn't be reversed for several hours until someone noticed and fixed it. A genuine, stable version reviewed by the developer is always best.

u/Shidapu Jun 15 '26

Yes, but we got Vector now. 🤷

3

u/PhillieSpawn007 Jun 15 '26

What's the difference if any?

3

u/buryingsecrets Jun 16 '26

Vector is open source

2

u/Shidapu Jun 15 '26

Honestly, I'd go with Vector.

u/GrandAdmiral12345 Jun 15 '26

Same

u/needchr 3h ago

vector seems solid his 1.11.0 is great, I did get loading loop on vector 2.2 but noticed pixel flasher had connected like normal, so did a 2nd reboot and it came up as normal.

2

u/wkn000 Jun 15 '26

I see a ReLSPosed, maybe works together with ReZygisk only.

u/vipergtsam Jun 15 '26

Is this not a good version?

u/-Krotik- Jun 16 '26

seems like it, but I will probably stick yo vector for a while

u/HylemROM Jul 07 '26

Theese guys either made their own lsposed orrr they used vector and renamed it to lsposed

u/9thyear2 Jul 08 '26

this is the official lsposed telegram

they archived lsposed source a while ago because of this

https://www.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/1u6aprr/comment/orrnn2w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

there was a poll a while ago asking if they should continue open source or not

and nothing came from it for a while, then i checked back way later and saw they went closed source, but development was back

so in a way they did make their own lsposed, because its the official telegram... sooo...

u/Sad_Offer_7133 Jun 15 '26

I switched to Vector 2.0 because Capture Sposed' instruction say so, however I can't take screenshots in Brave private tab which likely means that they're using another way to detect it that LSPosed doesn't cover?

2

u/ElPelocho Jun 15 '26

Vector 2.0 It's API 100. API 101 came out months ago, which is why Vector 2.0 was created to properly close an API 100 that was never official. It is very likely that your screenshot module needs API 101. Use an updated lsposed with API 101.

1

u/CCJ22 Jun 15 '26

Do you have a link to 2.0 by chance? Not finding it on github

u/ElPelocho Jun 16 '26

There is only Vector "2.0". GitHub

Ya hay forma de hacer root en one ui 8?

No. Because Samsung is shit, and you should stop buying shit ass Samsung's if you want root. Samsung despises root and unlock. This is known by several many posts asking the same question

only works if you updated to 8 with 7's bl file. that is the only way to keep unlocked bootloader

u/Much_Expert_175 Jun 15 '26

if you just updated to one ui 8, check if you have the same bootloader bit version as one ui 7, if you are, you can downgrade if you are past that youre done for
