Xpatch is a Java CLI tool that repackages and re-signs Android APK files so the resulting APK can load installed Xposed modules. It enables hooking an app's Java code without rooting the device.

Use cases

  • hook an android app without root
  • repackage an apk to load xposed modules
  • patch an apk for xposed module support
  • modify app behavior via xposed on unrooted devices
  • enable xposed plugins for a specific app
  • analyze app behavior by injecting hooks

When to choose

  • you want to use xposed modules on a non-rooted device
  • you need to hook a single app's java code for testing or research
  • you prefer a one-command jar tool for apk repackaging

When to avoid

  • you need to hook native code only
  • you cannot uninstall the originally installed app due to signature mismatch
  • you need a maintained root-based xposed framework instead
