Xposed Framework on Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360

A while ago, Xposed Framework was back ported to Gingerbread and since the Galaxy Y is running GB and sadly always will be, it's on the list of supported devices.

For those of you who are not aware of what this Xposed Framework represents, in a few words it basically allows you to modify your system without the need of decompiling the apk files and then pushing them to your system. It saves tons of time for modifications to the UI such as changing text color, background, images and whatnot whether your rom is deodexed or odexed. Sadly, those exact advantages are missing for the Galaxy Y as for now there is no such module available.

I decided to give it a shot and guess what, it installs without any problems! Huge thanks to xda member liudongmiao for porting this to Gingerbread and of course even bigger thanks to xda member rovo89 for making all of this possible.

As I mentioned above, there are no modules available for now that help modify Gingerbread TouchWiz roms such as the the module called Wanam Xposed which is made for users to modify their Jelly Bean based TouchWiz roms.

We do still get some goodies such as the Play Store fixer, the XPrivacy and App Settings. All of which I go into detail about in the video you will find in this post.

Play Store fixer (module): Click here.
XPrivacy (module): Click here.
App Settings (module): Click here.

I would say the most useful module for now is the App Settings one because it gives you the ability to change an app's DPI, force a screen orientation, force it to not be fullscreen or force it to be fullscreen, etc.
