Tushar Mehta July 20, 2020

Our phones now have more apps that we can keep count of. As a result, Rogue apps sometimes masquerade as utilities and may misuse the granted permissions to secretly snoop on you. Smartphone manufacturers, as well as Google, have grown wary of the issue and every time an app uses the camera, microphone, or the...

Adam Conway January 22, 2020

Have you ever wanted to be able to scan NFC tags when your phone screen is off? That's not a possibility as there are security risks in doing so - imagine if someone could trigger a mobile payment from your smartphone while the screen is off? There are other security risks as well, but the...

OnePlus Launcher Magisk mod enables Google Feed on any OnePlus device

Pranob Mehrotra November 18, 2019

OnePlus' OxygenOS is a fine example of an Android skin done right. It offers you a stock Android-like experience, while still featuring plenty of customization options. Even the stock apps included on the devices follow this trend, including the OnePlus Launcher. However, its Shelf feature, which lies to the left of the home screen, isn't...

Get Status Bar Clock Tweaks for Android P [Root]

Doug Lynch July 24, 2018

I for one have not been a fan of how Google has handled certain parts of Android P. They could have done the navigation gestures much better, and I feel they could have handled the placement of icons and information in the status bar better for notched displays. It may take time to get used...

Adam Conway July 17, 2018

Dolby Atmos on the Samsung Galaxy S9 promises better sound quality on both headphones and the speaker. The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the first Samsung device to get it, but XDA Senior Member ImbaWind has ported it to the Samsung Galaxy S8 as well.

Many of us Android enthusiasts are simply bored with the basic software experience OEMs put on our smartphones and tablets.

Stereo Speaker Mod for OnePlus 6 turns the earpiece into a second speaker

Doug Lynch July 10, 2018

Front-facing stereo speakers are a huge selling point for a lot of people within the smartphone community. Traditional speaker placement usually has it firing down through the bottom frame and this can easily be covered up when you're holding the device in landscape mode. XDA Senior Member acervenky has created a mod for the OnePlus 6 that uses...

Modified Pixel Launcher adds Features to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL

Adam Conway November 9, 2017

Modifying the Pixel Launcher, the default home screen on Google's Pixel-branded smartphones, isn't a new idea. Launchers like Lawnchair add custom icon support and other extras to the Google Launcher for the Pixel and Pixel XL. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL launched with a newer version of the Google Launcher, though, and crafty...

Stop Wakelocks with WakeBlock for Android – Amplify Replacement for Rooted Users

Adam Conway September 5, 2017

Those of you missing Xposed on Nougat (though if you're desperate, I guess there is a kind of working port) may specifically miss the module called Amplify. I purchased the donation version about two years ago, but that wasn't enough to entice me to stay on Marshmallow. Still, I miss it. Amplify let me restrict...

Some people dislike certain stock settings in Android, such as the height of the navigation bar, the low battery alert, and a few other small things. XDA Senior-Member SyCreed over on our OnePlus 5 forums has released a flashable zip, modifying the system framework, which promises to do the following. Removed the Input Method switch in...
