So, basically if you have a rooted Android phone, you can go ahead and install the Xpose framework on it just like any other APK file. Right now, the stable releases of Xposed are only available till Android 4.4 KitKat. But system level flashing is available for Lollipop users. After you install the APK, you can open the app and install the framework on the device and reboot it. Hereafter, you can open the Xposed app and install the various Xposed modules directly as system files and bring awesome features to your mobile.
Xposed modules are nothing but some files that are pushed into the
Android system and they are like an extended code of the Xposed
framework. There are many Xposed modules available to install for free
and bring features you had never even thought about. And to help you get
started, Here are 10 very useful Xposed modules which are my personal favorites.
1. Physical Button Music Control
The only reason this particular modules holds the first place is the
list is just because I am a music lover. This Xposed module is a bliss
for users who have a hard time shuffling the tracks on the Android while
commuting. Now with Physical Button Music Control you can control your
music with almost any hardware button you have on the phone. Play the
next track, skip 30 seconds in a music and much more.
The app also supports the detection of headset and you can use the
headset controls also to manage the tracks. Also, to reduce any
accidental changes, you can choose to activate the module only when a
headset is plugged in. All in all, the Xposed module will make your
device a dedicated music player when you want it to.
Compatible: Android 2.3 Gingerbread to 5.0 Lollipop.
2. Network Speed Indicator
We got apps like Speed Test and Sensorly to test the speed of our Wi-Fi
and 3G/4G network we are connected to. But these apps only provide the
data when asked for manually. If you would like to be aware of the
download and upload speed you are getting on your Android in real-time,
you can try the Xposed module Network Speed Indicator.
The module will show you the upload and download speed you are getting
on the particular Wi-Fi or data network. The position, style and the
units can be configured making the experience even better. Just makes
sure you don’t change the default response time set in the app for best
results.
Compatible: Android 2.3 Gingerbread to 4.4 KitKat.
3. BootManager
This module for Android is like the Startup Manager or MSConfig we have
for Windows. Using the app, you can disable the app to start
automatically every time you boot your device. Just install the Xposed
module and tap on the apps you wish to exclude. The app will mark these
apps as red and next time you boot the phone, they will not be executed.
Bootmanager also monitors any new app you install on the phone and
informs you if the new app will execute at boot. You can then choose to
exclude or include it depending on your choice. The free version only
allows to restrict downloaded apps. To restrict system apps one must
donate to the developer.
Compatible: Android 2.3 Gingerbread to 5.0 Lollipop.
4. Advanced Power Menu
Advanced Power Menu is a very useful Xposed modules if you need to boot
in recovery and bootloader bit more frequently. Makes it easy for
frequent ROM flashers to work with Android recovery and bootloader. The
particular modules adds advanced reboot options (reboot, soft reboot and
reboot to recovery) and screenshot option to your power menu. It works
on both AOSP and Xperia devices.
One cool feature I like about the module is Anti-theft helper. The
feature stop anyone from turning off your phone /enabling airplane mode
when the device is locked. The feature is only good if the battery of
the device is non removable and if the person is unaware of force
booting the phone.
Compatible: Android 4.2 JellyBean to 4.4 KitKat.
5. Power Nap
The module replicated the Xperia like Stamina Mode on any Android
device. As a Xperia user myself, I can vouch for the fact that there is
no better battery saver than the Xperia Stamina mode. The best thing is,
even though the app disables the data and Wi-Fi connection, one can
white list apps so that an important notification is never missed.
Compatible: Android 4.2 JellyBean to 4.4 KitKat.
Download: To get the app, please request to join the Alpha tester community and then opt-in to become a tester once you are part of the community.
6. Tinted Status Bar
Well, this mod doesn’t hold any functional feature which will ease your
productivity. But will give your phone a sleek and elegant finish. You
might be aware how Lollipop ROMs change the color of the status bar when
any app is opened and the same tint is applied to match the color
scheme of the app. Well this app will implement the same feature to the
KitKat ROMS.
For some reasons if the app is not able to auto detect the tint color,
you can manually pic the color and apply the settings. Just a little eye
candy to your phone and nothing else.
Compatible: Android 4.2 JellyBean to 4.4 KitKat.
7. XPrivacy
Have you ever skipped to install an app from the Play Store just because
they ask for too many permissions? Well if you have, XPrivacy is a
perfect Xposed module for you. The app feeds fake data or no data at
all, thus safeguarding your privacy. For example, it you restrict an app
to read your contacts, then a list of empty contacts will be sent to
your phone. In the same way if you restrict location, that fake location
will be sent to the phone.
Compatible: Android 4.0.3 ICS to 4.4 KitKat.
8. App Settings
App Settings is a pretty interesting app using which you can set generic
settings on a per app basis. By generic settings I mean like rotation
of screen, brightness, media volume, etc. There’s a whole bunch of
settings you can restrict for an app and they will only be applied when
you actually launch the app.
For example, if you would like to restrict your reading app to open in
portrait mode, with minimum brightness and mute the media volume, you
can apply all these settings using the App Settings Module and they will
be automatically applied when you launch the app. Also, when you exit
out of the app, these settings will revert back to normal.
Compatible: Android 4.0.3 ICS to 5.0 Lollipop.
9. Native Clipboard
Unlimited clipboard memory on your Android… Yes!! That’s what Native
Clipboard brings to your Android. The app is very simple and take a note
of whatever you copy on your Android clipboard. When you paste them,
the app shows you all the clips and pinned notes and you can select from
them and paste the desired text.
Compatible: Android 4.0.3 ICS to 5.0 Lollipop.
10. Gravity Box All-in-one tweak box
Finally I saved the best for the last, the Gravity Box Xposed Module.
The features of the module are countless, but if I were to explain in
simple terms, all I can say that the module packs awesomeness of all the
popular custom ROMs we have for android and let any Android user apply
and use it.
Expanded Desktop, Statusbar, QuickSettings, Lockscreen rotation,
Hardware key actions. You name it and you can control the settings from
this module. So try it out and see for real what all you can actually do
with your Android.
Compatible: Android 4.2 JellyBean to 5.0 Lollipop.
