Vector Framework
A high-performance ART hooking framework for modern Android
Introduction
Vector is a Zygisk module providing an ART hooking framework that maintains API consistency with the original Xposed. It is engineered on top of LSPlant to deliver a stable, native-level instrumentation environment.
The framework allows modules to modify system and application behavior in-memory. Because no APK files are modified, changes are non-destructive, easily reversible via reboot, and compatible across various ROMs and Android versions.
Compatibility
Vector supports devices running Android 8.1 through Android 17 Beta.
Tip
This framework requires a recent installation of Magisk or KernelSU with Zygisk enabled.
Installation
- Download the latest release as a system module.
- Install the module via your root manager (Magisk/KernelSU).
- Ensure a Zygisk environment (e.g., NeoZygisk).
- Reboot the device.
- Access management settings via the system notification.

Developer Resources
Vector supports both legacy and modern hooking standards to ensure broad module compatibility.
Note
Vector supports the libxposed API via two git submodules: the module API and the service API.
A successful GitHub Actions build of the master branch indicates that Vector fully supports these APIs at those specific commits. Developers are suggested to check out the same commits as Vector.
