## What it is
LSPatch is a non-root implementation of the LSPosed Xposed framework that integrates the Xposed API into target Android APKs by inserting dex and native libraries. It can be used via a Java CLI jar or an Android manager app, supporting Android 9 and above.

## Use cases
- patch an apk with xposed modules without root
- run xposed modules on a non-rooted android device
- hook android app methods by repackaging the apk
- embed xposed framework into an app offline via jar
- modify android app behavior without magisk

## When to choose
- you want Xposed module functionality without root access
- you need to patch APKs offline with a CLI tool
- you are on Android 9+ and want LSPosed-style hooking

## When to avoid
- your device is rooted and you can use full LSPosed instead
- you need to hook system apps or the OS itself
- you require actively maintained tooling - releases stopped in late 2023

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, developer-tools, plugin-system
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, security
- platform: cli, jvm
- tags: xposed, apk-patching, rootless, hooking, reverse-engineering, android
