Is there a way to run xposed modules without the framework itself?

Question

Android

Is it possible to run its module without installing the xposed framework itself? (For example, screeoffanimation)
As far as I understand, xposed itself provides access to modules to the "subsoil of the system" and nothing more.
I do not want to install it just because of the small space on the internal memory card.

Answer 1

xposed does not provide any subsoil,
roughly speaking, the xposed framework intercepts system calls and allows you to replace classes that will be executed. Those. instead of a class from the system or application, a class from the xposed module is executed. You can replace not only classes, but also resources.
Accordingly, of course, you can get the functionality without xposed, you just need to manually replace the classes that the module inserts into the system or application. Those. assembly / disassembly / debugging apktools / smali / baksmali shines for you in full growth.
As for screenoff, if an "old TV" is enough, then it can be turned on by simply changing one bool in framework-res

Answer 2

As far as I know, it’s impossible, there are modules that support part of their functionality without a framework, but they can be counted on the fingers (GEL Settings for example) and you can hardly call them something full-fledged.
