[Q] S3 xposed most popular modules

Guys
I was wondering if people would share Xposed modules people use on their S3 and may why.
Thanks in advanced

Wanam is probably the most comprehensive module. It lets you modify a lot of the things you normally find in custom Rom (4 way power, battery, notifications, lock screen).
The second is jelly bean 4.x airplane. Let's apps set the phone to airplane mode. I use it to let apps schedule no network at night.

I run BootManager on all my roms, because it lets you select which apps run @ boot.
GravityBox is a must-have for roms like CM and AOKP, because it lets you mod the statusbar and add a nav bar (if you love it like I do). However, if you have Gummy, SlimKat or many of the current roms out there, you don't need this app's features, because it's baked into the roms.

This belongs in the Questions forum because its a question.
That said:
Wanam
Multiple Widgets
Keyboard Short Delay

I'd like to point out that Wanam gives an error if you're on an AOSP-based rom, that it only works with TW. Not sure if that's legit or not.

U need Wanam 4.4

I was hoping for a thread like this :good::laugh:
I generally use AOSP roms and Xposed. I have been quite partial towards these three modules but mostly the first two:
1) XhaloFloatingWindow: I like Paranoid Android's Halo and I love AOSP, but not every AOSP rom comes with Halo. Since the AOSP rom I use does not include Halo, I use this module to enable it to a certain degree. The module dev is amazingly responsive to requests and in the short time since I started using this, it has gone from just enabling window pops to allowing customizable and resizable window popups, a title bar to maximize/minimize/close the window, window snapping to left/right/top/bottom of your display, whitelist or blacklist to decide which apps open in Halo popup, and many other features. Even though I do not use features like window snapping or resizing of window popups, the fact that it has expanded from a single use to so much more has made this module truly impressive. This module works best with AOSP and you may have issues on TouchWiz.
Sidenote: This is not an Xposed module, however, the app Floating Notifications allows me to have notification bubbles akin to Halo. What this means is that, instead of pulling down my notification bar to check my notifications, I can view them on screen regardless of the app I am in (or only in user specified apps) and interact/dismiss them at will. Beginning in JB 4.2.2, Google introduced something called Notificationlistenerservice API which allows apps to read and dismiss notification(s) without the user actively opening their notification tray. By using an app such as Floating Notifications (or a substitute) I can view my notifications while using whichever app I am currently in, tap the notification bubble which will open into a XHalo-enabled small window, interact with that notification, and close it.
2) Greenify: this module helps force apps to hibernate. I find that it helps reduce wakelocks which theoretically will not clutter up your favorite battery monitoring app (like BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector) and will give you a little extra boost in battery life. I use it specifically for Google Search cuz in my daily usage, it has the most insane number of wakelocks of all my apps. I can't say that my battery life is miles better, it might only be 20 minutes better than without Greenify, however I have fewer instances where my battery has drained significantly and unbeknownst to me.
3) App Settings: this module allows you to edit the DPI of specific apps. I use Chrome Beta and it only removed the address bar as you start to scroll down. I prefer to have it in true full-screen like the AOSP browser (which removes the status bar) so I use App Settings to force Chrome Beta to do so. App Settings allows you to force portrait only apps into landscape however I find this to be hit or miss on the Verge app which is my only experience with a portrait-restricted app.

Ahh... that's "Wanam Kit"

Do you really need "Multiple widgets" any more if I'm on TW 4.3?

Well I do. I like having the quick camera access by swiping my lock screen because I use a pin lock. Also its the only way to add a 3rd party lock screen widget and I love the cLock app.

Note pro 12.2 is it worth Rooting?

I have been using the device for a while right now and I saw a lot of topic about people talking about rooting the device. the question is, is it worth rooting? I don't actually see the need for that. So, if anyone can point out some major reason for rooting for me please?

I rooted mine only because I couldn't write to extSD as I bought it for reading eBooks which would be stored in extSD. I also freeze indexservice which drained the battery. Adaway is also another good reason to root.

It's totally subjective; if you don't see a need then don't worry about it. Sites like this though exist in part because there are many who do have a need/desire to take things further than stock is able to go.
Reason's for me to root include:
Freezing of stock applications I don't want loading at any time (stock browser, stock email, e-meeting, web-ex, group play, knox, magazine widgets, stock music app, netflix, ny times, remote pc, screen saver, side-sync are all frozen using titanium backup on my device).
Installing Xposed Framework to customize the tablet - disabled youtube ads, customized multi-window menus, per application display density/resolution control for greater leverage of screen real estate, status bar tweaks and notification tweaks to name a few)
Full greenify support through Xposed framework - ability to hybernate applications to keep memory use low and maximize battery life.
Button savior application - ability to quickly access home/back/menu buttons from the side of the tablet in landscape instead of having to use the built in capacitive ones.
Titanium backup - ability to keep a backup of my last couple of versions of each application so that should an app update produce results that i don't like I can easily revert to an older version.
As has been stated, allowing for write access to external microSD.
Just a few tweaks I've added to my tablet. I continue to experiment with xposed modules as time goes on. All subjective "needs".

Every reason listed below is why I need root on my VZW Tablet.

I rooted it to use adaway, xposed with wanam xposed module and to uninstall bloatware.

Don't forget about changing to what we're font you want.
Really, if you live to tinker, you have to root. If you are just a user (nothing wrong with that) then rooting may not mean anything to you.

Thanks for the list, didn`t knew TB could freeze programs so just snatched up the pro :victory:

Okay.. Can I borrow this thread a bit?
Can you change overall colour theme of NP? I have thought of buying one (LTE Model) and I just hate how it looks when settings, "drop down" notification bar etc.. are on white background. Is it possible change those to black like all AMOLED phones / tablets have?
Thanks.

Nope. With xposed framework you can install wanam module to ATTEMPT to do it. I say attempt because try as I might I could not change the color of the volume slider background. I posted a screenshot of my issue in the wanam thread but am not sure if it will be addressed in an update soon as I am not sure the developer has the means to look into it. We shall see, it's not like that module is updated frequently since it takes a lot of effort to find the settings in various versions of roms. If I had one complaint about the note pro it would be that the quick settings tiles and notification pull down is far too wasteful of screen real estate to the point that it's shameful. Tiles are huge on it and with the sliders extended one has to scroll frequently in landscape mode.

Not really, but with rooting, you will be able to install themes. There is currently one very interesting theme available for the Note 10.1, I am hoping a port may eventually become available for our device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687087
While the theme is "busy" compared to the Pro's generic white everywhere idea, it does harken back to the early days of Android hacking and the interesting icons which appeared. I'd probably give it a go on my Pro if it became available.

I too would like to theme my tablet. I like the look of some experia stuff quite a lot.

Has anyone tried to force it into tablet mode? I used to get a dropdown bar like the one on the note pro if I lowered my dpi on my note 2. Just in the middle. If you lowered it far enough and used a patch ui.apk you could get a tablet style menu bar on the note 2 (man I miss that)

Hide Softkeys?

LG, Huawei and a couple other companies have this feature baked into their take on Android, allowing you to hide softkeys on a per app basis. Anyone figured out a way to hide them on the Idol 3?

I think to hide the navigation bar you need root but I'm not sure. Have you tried doing a google search for "Hide Android navigation bar"? There's app on the play store but again they may need root and root has not yet been achieved.

There is an app in the Play Store, It works without root , and actually is not bad. The free version does not allow per-app setting. I tested it for a little while, and then uninstalled. I think I will keep the nav bar - since it hides or becomes transparent in videos and photos anyway. The browser is the only odd case - and I will live with it for now - actually the back button may come handy !

Yeah, I used GMD Auto Hide with the Z3 Compact and it worked flawlessly, but it doesn't seem to be too effective with my Idol. The time the softkeys bother me is during games that don't automatically put the screen into immersive mode, so not only do I usually accidentally touch one of the softkeys but it's also wasted screen real estate during gaming.

No one is currently working on this? This is surprising since soft keys are one of the most annoying things about the Idol 3. I'll hit up GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys developer and see what they can do to make this work for us!

Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I returned the phone after only a few hours because of this flaw. Extremely annoying feature. Takes a big
screen phone and makes it small again.

With root and xposed you can use the module "Hideable Nav Bar".

Yes, it show list of 6 recent app and let you switch between them.
You can try it

Thank you for the good app! I noticed several features (out their absence), which hold me on Switchr instead moving to your app.
1. I could put Switchr a not higher, 1/3 from the top of my phone. Your app is possible to put only in the center. It's impossible to lift it a bit higher saving the length of a sensitive zone. That is a problem.
2. I have root and prefer to kill app from the switchr if it misbehaves. With your app I cannot.
3. In switchr I could see actively running apps and recent apps which are not longer in the memory. With your app I cannot see it.
Unlike Switchr your app is quicker, more responsive. I like it. And your idea with favorites is really great. Thank you for the good job and your hard work!

I didn't meant recent apps. On switchr it would show running apps (not recent apps) and we were able to close them too, but the developer said he couldn't do it on android versions after kitkat

The best way is to implement this opportunity and to explain users in settings under what conditions these features work (root, OS version, XPosed Unrestricted Task module).

Thanks for your feedback. I primarily make this app for non root user, as this app growing I will consider add more function for root user.
About position of the edge you can set to Right-top or Left-top in each edge setting so you can save the centre zone.

Did this app work on Lolipop and above? As I know from lolipop I can't use the same code to get recent app like befor, and that why swichr can't get recent app unless you have Xposed module UnrestictedGetTasks.

I have a nexus 6p and before that Note 4 - neither of which were rooted. So 6 and 5.1.1
With that said, it was just a launcher and didnt access recent apps. I guess you need if for that?

Yes, as I know, from lolipop, I need Usage stat to access recent apps.
My app use that permission only for that, as you can see, it doesn't ask for any internet permission.

Some bugs
Hey love the app.
But noticed a couple of bugs on my Note 4. The show notification does not bring down the notification shade. And back sometimes does not come up. It takes multiple tries it seems like I have to push my finger off the target area to get a haptic feedback and for the back command to register.
Continue the great work.

Nice! Just installed it

lollipop here, it got stuck for me and I had to restart couldnt click any app or dismiss it

Seems like a great idea for large screen phones too where its hard to use with one hand. Will give it a go on my Nexus 6P and report back!

[guide] ( need root) how to use fingerprint button as home, back and recents button.

If you want to use the fingerprint sensor as capacitive button and remove the on screen buttons, here are how to do it. TESTED ON XT 1640 (BRAZIL VERSION)
First you need to root and install TWRP recovery. take a look on the other threads for it.
Install the EX Kernel from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836) [ READ THIS THREAD FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY]
If everything works fine, this kernel makes you fingerprint work as home button, but to have others functions, intall this app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-button-mapper-customize-hardware-t3361340)
Now you can remapp as your wish.
TO REMOVE THE ON SCREEN BUTTONS:
Use any build.prop editor and just add this line ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 )
post your screenshots if you enjoy it.
thanks to flar2 for the kernel and app.

Good to see some customizations coming along. I'm not a dev at all but I don't understand with android being custom sourced why everything is so hard to do. Its like something like this to happen requires a kernel app and than a download of another app to work with that app. Than only some things can be changed and unlock functions can't. It just reminds from 2009 and up having Activator app in the jailbreak world 7 years ago I could change my home button to do whatever along with gestures or anything. I know Apple isn't open sourced out of the box but when those restrictions are opened up they are 100% in function. Sadly Apple has more than doubled their prices since I was owning 2009-2011 phones so I've been in the android world for 4 years now. It just hurts me that the technology these days in 2016 we can't have a operating system as simple to tweak as a user but considered open sourced.

For this device, the mod is at the hardware level. The fingerprint sensor is just a fingerprint sensor. I modified the kernel to make it behave like a button and send home key events by default. The additional app, Button Mapper, allows you to assign actions to single press, double tap and long press.
You can actually do all this without root, which is pretty cool. But you still need a custom kernel.

Use Xposed and gravity box fingerprint launcher
There's an Xposed module called gravity box that will let you use the fingerprint scanner as the button. No custom kernel needed!

I can't hide the navbar.. help me please

But there is no Xposed for Android 7.0 yet.

How can I do it without changing the kernel but got root?
Is there any way of achieving this without changing the kernel? Because I want other features of my existing kernel. Isn't there an easier way? Like just adding a script or something?
Thanks in advance!

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 doesn't do the required stuff (hide the navigation bar).
Tried it on STOCK Nougat ROM with ElementalX kernel.

Well.. There is a much easier way. I have xt1643 running Lineage OS with Vegito kernel. Hats off to the kernel dev. My phone is so much smoother with less heating issues. Just there is a drop in battery backup. And coming back, in linage OS u have an Option to use expanded desktop with takes away the Navbar and Status bar. Use can swipe n bring it anytime you want. Also you can use the fingerprint as the home button..

Hey, I'm also an user of Lineage OS and there's an option in settings to set FP sensor as home button (an also double tap works as multitask), and the option to use expanded desktop mode (but I don't use this because apps still leave space as if the navbar existed - as it does -, showing up every time you type something etc), but I prefer to hide it completely editing build.prop as suggested.
So, with this setup, I don't really need the app cited on 1st post (also, when I tried it kept bugging).
BUT my problem is, there's no option as to set some gesture to work as back button. In a lot of apps there's a back arrow in the left top so it works nice, but there's also a lot more apps that doesn't have this, so it's kind of annoying.
Is there some way to solve this?? Or some mod to bring one button nav (as in the G5) to G4+??
Thanks in advance.

Can you tell me how to add these gestures to a custom rom which currently have none active?
Im using Lenovo P2A42. Its stock Android N has all three gestures for navigation in the fingerprint gesture natively. But none of its custom rom has this fuction. I want to add this function to the custom rom without using any third party app.
