Attention if you try this and end up with a brick or your device transforms and tries to destroy you; it's not my fault you did this not me. So just read all of this thread not just the O.P to get out of a bind if you reply with "the thread is too long i wont read it please help" don't expect anything short of "there's a search bar use it"

Here is how i got it to work without a Custom recovery ;)
follow my steps perfectly

Found these instructions in Italian on how to install without recovery (i edited and translated them to work correctly):

This Guide will show you how to install Xposed Framework on the LG G Stylo with Android
Lollipop 5.1.1 without recovery!

Required:
Root
Busybox installed on the device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en
Package needed Xposed Boost Stylo.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347813218

1- Download the package by pressing the link
2- Unzip
3- Put the contents of the folder in the root of internal or external storage of the device (no sub-folders).
4- Install Xposed (the apk is among the file you just put into the device) BUT do not open it
5- Open Script Manager and navigate to the installer file (script) and chose script, su then press save .
6- now select the same script and press run and choose the option according to what you want (Yes/No)
7- Wait for the script to finish, now go to Xposed Installer apk that you installed before and select soft reboot (it will turn off just power back on)
8- After restart and you may use Xposed properly

PS: procedure performed perfectly on Boost LG G Stylo which as you know does not have recovery mod, should work on other 5.1.1 phones

FYI: I placed the contents of the zip in my "external" SD (no sub folders) folder and the script wouldn't work. As soon as I placed the "xposed-v72-sdk22-arm.zip" file in the internal storage the script ran smooth.
 
Worked great. The only thing I had to do differently was rename the SDK zip to match the script, but no biggie. Thanks for this!
 
is it safe to root and install xposed on boost? what if I install a module and end up in a bootloop? there's no possible way to recover..

If that's the only reason I would suggest just using AdAway

AdAway works for me, even though it doesn't stop ALL ads from getting through. It does keep me from having to deal with most of them.

I'm using the Boost varient.

Turns out this frame work changed some files I was unaware of. When I installed this I started having trouble with text messages, after two weeks of troubleshooting it was discovered that I had to replace the phone due to the issue created from the framework install. I have a new phone now and won't be rooting again until after the Marshmallow update. And if I do need to root again I don't think I'll be installing this framework again.

Sad , the modules were quite helpful.
 
Thanks totally worked on my boost stylo, only issue was I had to move "xposed-v72-sdk22-arm.zip" to internal memory in order to run the script properly

Boost Mobile, US carrier. If you have a metro stylo just get the xposed zip from the xposed thread at XDA and flash it in recovery.

Also I'm not gonna be installing it because I have no idea if it could interfere with an update for Marshmallow
 
They're like metro, they piggyback off Sprint towers and are cheaper than sprint. They have a locked bootloader though, we don't. I wouldn't weigh things like that personally, marshmallow isn't and probably won't be out for a while for our variant. Also if you're asking about xposed I'm assuming you're rooted in which case it's already too late, you can't take an ota rooted.

What other ways would I be able to get the update while rooted?

And could you link me to the xposed file for metro?
