WX File – What is .wx file and how to open it?

WX File: Backup for Xposed Framework

A WX file is a backup file created by the Xposed Framework manager app. The Xposed Framework is a software development framework that allows users to modify the behavior of the Android operating system without modifying the system files. WX files contain a backup of the user’s Xposed Framework settings, installed modules, and other data.

The WX file format is a proprietary format developed by Wanam, the developer of the Xposed Framework manager app. WX files are typically stored in the /sdcard/Wanam/Xposed/backups directory on the user’s device. WX files can be used to restore the user’s Xposed Framework settings and installed modules to a new or different device. To restore a WX file, the user must open the Xposed Framework manager app and select the “Restore” option. The app will then prompt the user to select the WX file to restore.

Understanding WX Files

WX files are proprietary backup files used by the Wanam Xposed framework, a popular Android customization tool. These files contain a comprehensive backup of the user’s device, including installed apps, app data, system settings, and various other configurations. WX files serve as a convenient way to preserve a device’s state and restore it in case of data loss or device damage.

Opening WX Files

To open a WX file, you will need the Wanam Xposed framework installed on your Android device. Once installed, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the WX File: Use a file manager app to navigate to the location where the WX file is stored. Typically, backup files are stored in the “/storage/emulated/0/WanamXposed” folder.
2. Open the Wanam Xposed App: Launch the Wanam Xposed application from your device’s app drawer.
3. Navigate to Restore Option: Tap on the “Restore” option located in the bottom navigation bar.
4. Select WX File: Use the file browser to browse and select the WX file you wish to open.
5. Confirm Restore: Review the details of the backup file and tap on the “Restore” button to initiate the restoration process.

Once the restore process is complete, the settings, apps, and data from the WX file will be restored to your device. It is important to note that restoring a WX file may overwrite any existing data or settings on your device, so it is advisable to create a new backup before initiating the restore.

WX File Format

The WX file extension stands for Wanam Xposed Backup File. It is a proprietary file format used by the Xposed Framework, a popular Android modding tool. WX files contain a compressed backup of an Xposed module’s data, including its settings, preferences, and any other files associated with the module.

Usage of WX Files

WX files are primarily used for backing up Xposed modules so that they can be restored in the event of a system crash or module update. To create a WX backup, users can use the Xposed Installer app and select the “Backup” option for the desired module. The backup will be saved as a WX file in the device’s storage. To restore a module from a WX backup, users can select the “Restore” option in the Xposed Installer app and provide the path to the WX file. The module and its data will be restored to their previous state.

Compatibility and Limitations

WX files are only compatible with Xposed Framework and cannot be opened or used by other software. WX files created with different versions of Xposed Framework may not be compatible, so it is important to use the same version of Xposed Framework to create and restore backups. Additionally, WX files do not contain the module’s code or binary files, so they cannot be used to reinstall a deleted module.
