[WARN] [FIX] do NOT install xposed framework on a chuwi hi8!

[Tyler B.]

nearly everyone agrees that xposed is pretty cool. however, if installed on a stock chuwi hi8, it will cause a bootloop. this has happened to me and many others, and after hearing so many stories of people having to wipe, I came up with a working solution that fixes it within minutes. requirements:
your tablet must be rooted and have a file browser that can access protected folders.

thats it! now lets get started.

-first, boot your tablet into safe mode by holding the power button until the chuwi logo appears, then holding vol down until it boots.

-next, you need to uninstall the framework. open up your root browser and move the installer to the system apps directory. I believe it is system/apps, though I may be wrong. you do this to make the installer a system app, and openable in safe mode. reboot into safe mode again and open the installer, uninstall the framework, and (optional) open up your root browser or titanium backup and delete the installer. reboot into normal mode and cross your fingers.

FAQ

-how can you open the root browser in safe mode?

A:im not fully sure myself, however if it is on your home screen it should open.

-will this work for any other tablets?

A:it might. I’ve only tested it on a hi8, though I see no reason why it wouldn’t work anywhere else.

-is this the best method?

A: no. this took me about an hour to figure out, and no doubt can be improved. please tell me about any refinements I could make to this and I’ll do it immediatly.

-can you do this without being rooted?

A: short answer; no. I don’t even know how or why you’d install xposed without being rooted.

-do I need a PC/ADB to fix this?

A:no.

EDIT: cardinalfang has pointed out a method for installing xposed without bootlooping it. I have not tried it yet, and assume no responsibility if you screw up your device. the link is below:

Source says it only work on Xposed v2.5 or above, what a nice feature! I will try to install the Xposed again using the recommended method. Will report if success! Cheers!

Joejoe has pointed out this much easier method for fixing it. Once again, I have not attempted it, assume no liability, and I’m leaving the older method here for people with an xposed version below 2.5. Thanks!
