Xposed Framework for Nougat in the works, still far off

rovo89, the developer behind the popular Xposed framework has issued a post on XDA Developer's forum to let us know that he's working on a version for Nougat.

Xposed is a framework that customizes your Android OS through self-contained software modules. Essentially it gives custom ROM abilities to your stock ROM, whatever it may be.

Making Xposed Nougat-ready is easier said than done, due to Nougat's updated app installation process. Android 7.0 fixed Marshmallow's notoriously slow app installs and now Xposed needs to catch up.

According to the developer this will take "hundreds of hours" of coding and that last year he could shave 5 hours per week to work on Xposed. So you do the math.

And while it could be a ways away still, the silver lining is that Xposed is in the making.
