Hello, so I flashed Xposed Framework on my Honor 8, its working fine, few modules I tested out work flawlessly, but I'm curious if you guys know some good and useful modules that work.
So far I've tried:
- Amplify
- Greenify
- Flat Style Bar Indicators (even though it has some problems)
- Disable Full Screen Keyboard
- YT AdAway
- YT Background Playback
- Gravitybox (I only tested a few functions and they seem to work)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Almost all of them lol. Modules released for nougat have been out for quite a bit already.

Oh, that is nice to hear. Actually I'm looking for something to stockify EMUI, gravitybox says that it could cause bootloops on heavily skinned androids like touchwiz, miui etc., so I'm a bit scared of testing it out, so if you know a module which could change the qs menu for example, I'm well aware of the Material Notification Shade app, but it doesn't support fingerprint gestures which I use a lot, and it's a bummer, so if you know anything that could help, I'd appreciate it a lot

Gravitybox works from what I remember. I didn't have too many things enabled but I never experienced a bootloop the entire time I used it. What exactly are you looking to do to the was menu?

I want to make it as stock as possible, I don't hate emui's way, but I prefer the whole stock pulldown menu, idk if you can even do that with gravitybox, but I'm looking for something that can, if there is no such stuff, it's fine, I can live without it.

I'm still sitting on 4.4.4 as I was waiting for some bugs to be squashed in Lollipop. Initially my thoughts about Lollipop were probably like most tech addicts, "newer is better." But in reading more in depth about the changes, I'm not impressed. So I pulled the trigger anyway on my LG Google Play Tablet (not my Nexus 5 phone.) And, I was not impressed at all.
- The notifications on the pull-down and lock screen are BUTT UGLY with the white background.
- No lockscreen widgets (which I use Widget Locker anyway, but still)
- No Xposed Framework compatibility (this one is a BIGGIE)
So I'm on the fence about upgrading my Nexus 5. Can someone tell me specifically what is so much better that it would justify overlooking these drawbacks (and other's I didn't mention) and upgrading now instead of waiting for a better version or at least until Xposed Framework supports ART?

Only things that are better is more security loops fixed by google
I personally really like lollipop. It feels a lot more snappy than KitKat. Given that I know exposed framework issue is due to switch to art and the Dev can't find docs on it.

I'm curious what "more snappy" really means. Has anyone done any before/after timing comparisons to see how much faster it really is? Would it be any faster than going into Developer Options on 4.4.4 and turning ART on?
I said it feels more snappy as in visually. I think someone benchmarked between kitkat and lollipop on a device an found that lollipop actually ran a little slower in some spots. I think lollipop has only a couple of odd quirks. The biggest one being the lack of a sound toggle button in the notifications area.
Until Xposed works with ART, I cannot possibly upgrade. There are two things I like about Lollipop - 1) the notification pop ups and 2) the soft keys, which I can later customize with gestures. XPrivacy is the biggest deal for me, followed by APM+, App Settings and Secure Settings.
I absolutely hate the notification bar and quick settings of EMUI. Does anybody know good alternatives? I am using Xposed, though the good stuff like N-ify doesn't seem to be working sadly, at least not for me.

I feel the same pain bro, there is no way to change those for now. Hope for a stable cyanogenmod.
Hey guys, I've been waiting patiently for xposed to hit N however it looks like we might never get it. I was wondering what apps/mods everyone has been using in the mean time - possibly ones that function much like a favorite module etc.

I haven't been paying attention to exposed so I'm curious why we may never see it?

I don't know the ins and outs of the development but briefly looking through the threads for N support a good deal of people are saying we most likely won't get it. With the security changes it seems like it's become much harder and, keeping in mind I haven't used xposed for about 4 or 5 years, that support for 6.0 was unexpected.
With the new phone I figured a few power users came over, and without xposed found their tweaks elsewhere via other apps and mods.
I mainly used it for luxury things like changing the UI (system icons in statusbar, misc system settings, volume button music control, etc.), which can also be accomplished with the many ROMs we have. Other uses were tweaks to snapchat, instagram, etc., that were nice things to have but I'd much rather have a newer phone and newer OS than stick with something old just for that.
Generally though, many of the features I liked about using Xposed years ago are either implemented in stock Android and applications themselves now, or can have similar solutions with just root.
Well, I have just a few things I use Xposed for and here are my alternatives for N:
Battery % and center clock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/themes/mods-nmf26q-internet-traffic-speed-t3529573
Navbar swap recents/back: <same thread as above>
Headphone volume warning disable: Not sure how it disappeared, but I think this mod did it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-enabling-dual-speaker-audio-playback-t3492257
Animation speed @ 0.75% (I believe this is the perfect speed, not too fast nor slow ): http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...-animation-speed-android-works-stock-devices/
Enable Google assistant: Oh wait.. the pixel already comes with it
Youtube block ADs: <no alternative found> If ya guys got any solution, please share!
Not a huge list, but that's enough customization for me.
Hi guys.
Is it possible to change the default lockscreen app shortcuts? I mean: once in lockscreen, you can puul up fom the bottom a two lines series of shortcut.
I would like to change for example the default calculator with another app I have installed...and so on...
Thanks.
I don't think it's possible on stock EMUI... Maybe with the help of some Xposed module like GravityBox, but since that it won't works on EMUI i didn't saw any module that allows to do that.
thx mate. I did not find anything yet too... it's a pity.

Yeah dude I'd like to customize lockscreen shortcuts too, but Huawei locked that down. Surely possible on custom ROMs, but at the moment i prefer to remain on stock for various motives like camera quality, battery management and optimization, fingerprint gestures... (I'd like at least to try some ROMs like LineageOS, RROS, AOSP, ecc. but I saw kinda enough people forced to use dload to go back to stock, thing that obviously I'd like to avoid.)
It's absolutely not possible on EMUI
Guys whom have updated, is it any better?
Any key differences
after updating to OREO everything works fine for me.
nothing is missed.
big differences:
* newer security patch level and better battery performance
* (and if it should work: ) project treble
BTW:
dirty over vs. new installation = in most cases it seems to make no differences (my experience)
:good:
Better multitasking, smoother transitions, menus are changed a little bit but overall it looks almost the same as emui 7. There are a lot of under the hood improvements such as notification settings better memory management and battery life.
Visually it's different (because new Android version).
What I found is that the lockscreen notifications for audio and video players have a visual bug - the controls are slightly off to the right so the 'next' button goes over the thumbnail and is hard to see.
Definitely better battery life. Don't really care for the new System settings layout but who cares, you only use it rarely? Never use stock launchers, so again who cares? Other than that it is great.
Better battery life for me ! All is working great.
Thanks gents
Still on the beta 321 version (567 US version)...STILL WAITING
But, the 321 version for me is stable
Oreo has all better things compared to Nougat except custom rom and magisk as well as xposed. It has only root with SuperSU, not enough for me. Will come back to Oreo later if Xposed is compatible

What are you using xposed for may I ask.
I used to run magisk to get YouTube ad free and ad blocker but there are ways around that now

I use xposed for many reasons as well as functions cuz no phone is perfect. And with xposed I can transform my phone to its hidden perfect mode lol It contains wide range of useful modules so it always make you feel interested in exploring and enjoying.
I am experiencing a few little issues that I am hoping will be addressed soon, though to be fair I think the problem is because of EMUI 8. Main problem is some of my widgets wont update. Oreo has some little features like app shortcuts which are cool but I wouldnt rush to upgrade.
