Requires a rooted Android device with LSPosed or a compatible Xposed framework already installed.
WAPlusXposed is an Android module that unlocks premium customization features inside WhatsApp, such as extra visual themes, custom app icons, premium sticker packs, and custom ringtones. It works by hooking into the WhatsApp app at runtime using the Xposed or LSPosed framework, rather than modifying the app's installed files directly. To find the parts of WhatsApp it needs to hook, the module uses a library called DexKit to scan the app's code each time it launches or updates, instead of relying on fixed positions that would break with every WhatsApp update. Once it finds what it needs, it saves that information locally so future launches start up faster without scanning again. Using this module requires a rooted Android device and the LSPosed framework, or a similar hook framework, already installed and active. To set it up, you download the WAPlusXposed APK from the project's releases page, install it, open your LSPosed manager, find the WAPlus module in the list, and turn it on, then restart WhatsApp so the changes take effect. The README is upfront that this is an unofficial, third party tool with no connection to WhatsApp LLC or Meta, and that using frameworks like this to change an official app may go against WhatsApp's terms of service. The author states the module is offered for educational, research, and personalization purposes under fair use, does not host or redistribute any of WhatsApp's proprietary code or media, and takes no responsibility for account bans, data loss, or other issues that could result from using it. It comes with no warranty of any kind.
