XPosed & Modules: "Feature Enhancements" good enough to return to stock rom...?
(if this thread is missplaced please apologize and move it - I think this could take some space and I didnt want to clutter the xposed thread with it)
Henooy guys,
I'm using a Galaxy Note N7000 and since the day I had my first custom rom on my phone (think it was aokp-based) I never wanted to go back to stock.
But now with XPosed Framework and all those modules aiming at replacing all the cool custom-aosp rom tweaks, has game changed?
On Samsung devices for example, you miss out quite a lot of nice features (while gaining others even cooler obv) by using aosp-based roms like no working TV-Out, no multiwindow, no one-hand mode, etc.
So I was wondering if I could get the same experience / features as with one of the "all in one roms" (I'm using rootbox 4.2 atm which has like 100s of customization options) with a stock samsung rom by tweaking things with xposed modules?
Here are a few points that interest me especially:
How about performance hits with heavy xposed customization vs "built-in" customizations of aosp based roms?
How good are the UI customizations like setting color and transparency of status bar and icons etc?
How about Halo / Apps in Floating windows? (yea there is the module, but how good or bad is it compared to "real" halo? or does it work just like it?)
Is there a module to use CM themes? (or is there some other easy way nowadays to "copy" a cm theme to the system framework? I have BlackedOut theme with everything black n white including certain apps, and would really hate to miss out on that)
---
Well it mainly boils down to: How well do the xposed modules implement all those tweaks that the custom roms offer out of the box? And how does performance compare?
I did so much tweaking to my system, and I flashed soooo often already lol, so I'd rather hear some opinions before changing everything again. =)
I'm sure I'm not the first one asking himself this question...?

No youre not
Well, i can tell you this, i also have a N7000 and have already flashed: SweetRom, VengeanceNote, Stunner2 (great!!) and paranoid3....
The problem is i really like the stock features...but hate the "greenish" colour and the damn statusbar......so... i did two things...
1- Installed the AMAZING aroma themes collection by kmokhtar79 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480358&highlight=aroma)
2- Installed xposed framework and started twiking little things...like disabling clear defaults dialog ...or the battery low alert, the increasing ringtone, the storage warning....and the samsung keyboard delay...
So far...its awesome...and because it work on the things that "are already there" instead of bringing NEW stuff....well there should be no battery drain whatsoever...
Or at least in the case of THOSE modules.... thing my differ from module to module...but if i understood correctly...xposed framework works on what already IS in there...so...should be the same...
Anyway...with those 2 things my stock(-ish?) note is awesome.
For all of you like me, who has a rooted Xperia Z1 running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, you may be wondering which mods you can install to make your Xperia Z1 more awesome. I couldn't find an up-to-date thread for mods, so I decided to create my own here (let's hope this is the correct section for this thread). The thing is, most mods have titles saying it's compatible with Android Lollipop, but I wouldn't know if it's compatible with 5.1.1 too until proven.
I need your help: if you find, create or know of any mod (requiring root) compatible with stock 5.1.1, let us know by replying to this thread. I'll update the list whenever I can!
Camera:
4K and 120fps video (sorry for linking to a link but the text makes it clearer)
Note: is there any 5.1.1 mod which allows 60fps 1080p video?
Settings:
Smart {call handling, backlight control, screen rotation}
Call recording
Other:
Pen Mod, use any pen or pencil as a stylus
Classic statusbar icons, purely visual mod

I haven't tried any other mods myself, so please help me help this community by testing / linking more compatible mods :laugh:
Only share tested mods, of course... Also note that I'm not responsible if anything breaks of course :silly:
As a few of you may know me from the xda forums and my contributions every now and then i get an old device i like to mess around on where i either create a great rom or tool or toast the device, now is the galaxy note 3's turn.
I will be throwing together a rom based on the latest officially supported update for the note 3 and will be making the rom as flexible as can be, this includes stabillity mods, optimization mods, mods to make the device alot smoother and fluent and ofcoarse my internal theming kit, bringing almost every manufacturs launcher themes to this device, debloated(seperate bloat installer), but since i dont know much about the device i would like some feature request everyone would like to see on the note 3, development will commence as soon as i get feedback.

great, amir launcher is missing the ability to hide an apps
is it possible to have a recovery flashable zip?
That's some great work.
Awesome launcher love how the accent color matches the system theme in Los 15.1
Great news but its gives me error when i try to download ?
Can this be installed on pixel 2 without being rooted?
@whataudoinghere thank you for sharing, if you do not mind, let me ask you about one thing
Additionally
Reduced the at 'At a Glance' font
On Android versions up to 8: 'O'- theme settings, accent fixed - pixel blue, icon is standard
On versions of android 8+: theme settings - as in the system, accent - system, dynamic icon
is there any way to accent to follow system theme on Android nougat Like the original pixel launcher?
Thank you in advance
Hi. Thank for this mod. I think this is the best mod of pixel 2 launcher ever

Hey, I just got this error.
And i don't have any other Pixel Launcher, just the Trebuchet that comes with the Rom and the Microsoft Launcher.
Any clue?
Works very well in my Mi A1. Bunch of thanks!!!
For someone who just studied Java, it's a genius thing to make it this far ???
Beautiful, stable from first use, fast, several parameterizations (v1) - nexus4 stock 5.1.1
We are looking forward to the next release.
Perfect! I only miss the double tap to sleep option like in Nova launcher.

I'm not a professional developer, I've never studied Java, I started studying Android Studio two weeks ago and started using GitHub 2 days ago, so my code changes may seem bad and unsuccessful, just remember this if you want to criticize my code, and remember that my native language is Russian, if you want to criticize my grammatics and writing

Updated to 1.1.1., changelog in first post, or github
Hey all
I'm working on a ClockFace mod for my Galaxy Note 8 but it should work for anyone with Samsung Oreos AOD/Lockscreen.
Current mods at the moment are removing the battery and or date / clock giving you a clean lockscreen clock and only seeing notifications on your AOD.
Anyone that's interested in these & more feel free to come over to the Note 8 thread > https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/oreo-clockface-mod-aod-customization-t3847703
I'd be greatful if someone could also drop a comment to let me know if it's working or not on your device
Thanks & enjoy the mods!
Any chance to port this to Pie?
Maximum of users have already upgraded to pie.. so i dnt think anybody can test it for u
