Features of Xposed

1. No need to modify any APKs. This means:
   1. No need to decompile, change things. It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.
   2. Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Many modules work for a wide range of ROMs from different vendors.
   3. Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they modify the same app. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
2. It does its magic at runtime. That means that developers can implement settings and do changes based on them (instead of statically forcing a certain behavior). Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs, without building different modversions.
3. It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
4. It’s open source and free (as in beer and in speech).
5. There is a repository with many popular modules.
