What is this?
Vector is a high-performance ART hooking framework for modern Android. It ships as a Zygisk module and keeps API consistency with the original Xposed, so Xposed-style modules keep working on current devices.

After a reboot it acts as a framework that runs Xposed-style modules on the device.

Vector requires a recent installation of Magisk or KernelSU with Zygisk enabled — without root there is nothing for it to hook into.
Yes. Vector requires a recent installation of Magisk or KernelSU with Zygisk enabled — without root there is nothing for it to hook into.If a module breaks something, can I undo it?Yes — nothing is permanent. Modules modify behavior in-memory and no APK files are touched, so a reboot reverts everything, and the framework stays compatible across various ROMs and Android versions.
Yes — nothing is permanent.

Android 8.1 through Android 17 Beta — a wide span that runs from older devices to current betas.Will my existing Xposed modules work with it?That's the goal: Vector supports both the legacy Xposed API and the modern libxposed API (wired in as git submodules), aiming for broad module compatibility across the Xposed ecosystem.

What changes is up to each module; Vector provides the stable, native-level hooking layer built on LSPlant.

Vector is essentially a modern continuation of that lineage as a standalone Zygisk module.

CI canary builds are for testing and require a GitHub login to download; Pull Request builds are often unstable and potentially unsafe, so stay on the master branch. For troubleshooting, use a debug build — bug reports are only accepted against the latest one.
