Messenger Pro is an Xposed Module that adds loads of features to Facebook Messenger
Messenger Pro by XDA Member Mino260806 is an Xposed Module that extends and adds features to the official Facebook Messenger app. Read on!
Meta's Messenger is one of the most popular instant messaging apps in the world, riding on the sheer popularity of Facebook. The Messenger app does a lot of things right for it to gain this popularity, but it also has a few limitations that are intentionally placed. For example, the inability to use text formatting on the mobile client seems pretty odd. If you are looking to fix some of Messenger’s quirks and add a lot of features to the Android app, try out the Messenger Pro Xposed Module.
Google Pixel's Now Playing feature has been ported to other Android devices
The Google Pixel’s Now Playing can tell you what song is playing in the background, and it has now been ported to other Android smartphones.
Google debuted the Now Playing feature with the Pixel 2 series back in 2018, and it has remained an integral part of the Pixel lineup ever since. The feature employs a combination of onboard hardware, software, and Google’s machine learning magic to identify songs playing in the background. Now Playing was intended to be a Pixel-exclusive feature, but it was only a matter of time before custom ROM developers managed to make it work on top of an AOSP codebase and come up with their own take on the feature.
You can now customize your device with the GravityBox Xposed Module on Android 11
GravityBox, one of the most versatile customization-focused Xposed modules, has been updated with support for Android 11. Read on!
If you have ever used the Xposed Framework before, you probably already know about GravityBox. In case you’re unaware, GravityBox is an all-in-one Android customization toolkit that lets you modify the lockscreen, the navigation bar, the status bar, the display, the actions of software and hardware buttons, and much more. It took a long time for the popular module to be updated with support for Android 11, but after an immense amount of work, XDA Senior Recognized Developer C3C076 recently made it happen.
Enable hidden features in Twitter for Android with the Tweeks Xposed Module
Twitter has a few features coming up down the pipeline, and if you're dreading to try them out, you can do so with this Xposed module called Tweeks.
Despite there being a lot of alternatives to the Twitter app on Android, I like sticking to the regular Twitter app. It works well, it's not overly bloated, and has all the features I need. It also looks good, and it's also constantly updated with new features as soon as they're out. Some are still down in the pipeline, and while they may not be ready for primetime just yet, you can still have a dab at unlocking them on your device using an Xposed module called Tweeks.
Xtadia is an Xposed Module that lets you play Stadia on any Android phone and network
If you want to use the Stadia app to play your games on Google Stadia, right now you can only do so with a Google Pixel phone. Unless you use Xtadia.
Google's Stadia game streaming service is already out and it's one of the main competitors in the now-rising game streaming space. Game streaming services are trying to position themselves as an alternative to actually owning gaming hardware, but before that can happen, it first needs to be readily available for everyone. As it stands, though, you can only play Stadia on Google's own Google Pixel devices, which severely limits your options when it comes to gaming as you still need to own Google hardware. This is also not an easily bypassable option as just sideloading the APK on another phone or trying to spoof the device ID. There are ways to properly spoof it, such as this Xposed module called Xtadia.
Enable Gmail's dark theme on older Android versions with this Xposed Module
If you have Xposed, there's one easy way to get Gmail's dark theme going if you don't have Android 10 yet: just install this module!
Android 10's system-wide dark theme was one of the most highly anticipated features, allowing users to make apps completely dark or black with a single toggle. However, the big issue with this feature is that it is only supported on Android 10, and while certain apps do include a manual toggle for switching dark mode on and off independently of the system value, most don't. Gmail supports dark mode, but only Android 10 users can see the toggle. That is unless you have Xposed.
Customize OxygenOS on the OnePlus 7/7 Pro with the latest version of GravityBox [Root]
Tweak a multitude of settings on your OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro with OxygenOS 9.5 with the latest version of GravityBox Xposed Module.
Xposed Framework is an excellent customization tool if you're looking supercharge your Android experience. It uses apps called Xposed Modules to customize the original behavior of any system process or application to offer a better experience. While there's a host of Xposed Modules to choose from, GravityBox is among the essentials that we would recommend for the wide range of tweaks it offers. It lets you modify the lockscreen, the navigation bar, the status bar, the display, the actions of software and hardware buttons, and much more.

The refreshed UI has begun rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and the Galaxy Note 9, but despite the improvements it brings, there's still a lot more that users desire.
GravityBox is now available for Android Pie devices with the Xposed Framework
Xposed has come to Android Pie unofficially, but it needs modules to pick up. One of the biggest ones, GravityBox, has been updated with support for Pie.
If you just recently picked up Android modding, then you probably don't really know about the Xposed Framework. Back in the day, before Magisk became a thing, the community was amazed by the launch of Android Lollipop and Android Marshmallow, and everyone used SuperSU as their preferred root method. And Xposed? Well, it was huge. Xposed is able to greatly expand your phone's capabilities by implementing modules able to hook into the Android runtime, which in turn allows you to customize things like the way your phone looks and how it behaves without installing a custom ROM. Nowadays, it's not really on active development as the last version, v90-beta3 (compatible with Android Oreo), was released over a year ago, but users have tried to continue development of Xposed (and many of its modules) however possible.
Xposed Framework gets unofficially ported for Android Pie: Install at your own risk
The popular Xposed Framework has been ported unofficially by some developers to work on Android Pie devices rooted with Magisk.
The Xposed Framework is a great tool for modding your Android smartphone or tablet. The framework hooks into ART (the Android runtime) and lets apps, called Xposed Modules, execute their own methods before, during, or in place of the original methods of the target application. Xposed Modules, therefore, can modify much more than Magisk Modules can, because Magisk Modules simply replace the target file. The official developer of the project, XDA Senior Recognized Developer rovo89, has yet to announce if he has any plans to support the Xposed Framework on Android 9 Pie. Since the official project is open source, however, third-party developers have taken it upon themselves to port Xposed to any Android Pie device rooted with Magisk.
Popular Xposed Module 'MinMinGuard' receives its first update in two years
One of the most popular ad-blocking Xposed Modules, MinMinGuard, just got its first update in two years. Head to the article for a download link.
There are many ad-blocking apps and Xposed Modules for Android devices. Some of them block ads by running a VPN service, others via host files. MinMinGuard is one of the most popular ones. It removes ads by blocking certain APIs, names, and URLs of ad providers. The most popular feature of an app is that it also removes blank space left by those removed ads. None of the other ad-blocking apps can do that. You can also toggle ad blocking per-app so you can leave ads as they are in certain applications.
VirtualXposed lets you use some Xposed Modules without root
Have you ever wanted to use Xposed Modules without rooting your phone and modifying system partition? VirtualXposed can do just that.
Xposed is one of the most popular root apps over here at XDA. As you already know, it needs root access to modify the system because it replaces app-process and ART runtime. This is something that holds back some people from using Xposed. From now on, you can run some Xposed Modules without root using XDA Junior Member weishu's app VirtualXposed.
MaxLock, an AppLock Xposed Module alternative, now supports Android Nougat and Oreo
Traditional AppLockers use a polling service to detect running processes. This can really drain the battery. MaxLock is an Xposed Module AppLocker that doesn't affect performance.
AppLockers are a great way to prevent people from getting into apps on your phone. Maybe your banking app doesn't use any security or you have some sensitive photos in the gallery. Whatever the case may be, sometimes it's nice to lock an app. Traditional AppLockers use a polling service to detect running processes. This can really drain the battery. MaxLock is a Xposed Module AppLocker that doesn't affect performance. It uses an event-driven method to detect app launches and throw up the lock.
Android P-ify Xposed Module lets you use Android P features on your Android Oreo device

The new Android version brings plenty of new features, including support for display cutouts (notch), improvements to messaging, privacy improvements, a multi-camera API, and more. We have thoroughly explored all the new UI changes in the Developer Preview, which include changes to the notifications drawer, quick settings, colored icons in the Settings app, and much more.
OnePlus Alert Slider Customization now possible with an Xposed Module
A new Xposed module for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T makes customizing the phones' alert sliders a cinch. Here's everything you need to know.
It's a common complaint of OnePlus phones that the alert slider, while a major time saver, is configured in a way that isn't terribly useful for most users. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that there isn't an easy way to customize it in Oxygen OS -- putting the phones in silent mode (with vibration disabled) can be an annoying undertaking. The built-in options are fairly lackluster and don't leave much room for tinkering, and while third-party developers came up with ways to modify the alert slider's behavior in older versions of Oxygen OS with root access, those methods no longer work as a result of the changes OnePlus made when it merged Oxygen OS with the China-only Hydrogen OS. But thanks to the Xposed framework and a new module from XDA Member Seveilith, it's possible to customize OnePlus devices' alert sliders once again.
All-in-One Xposed Module for Customization, GravityBox, Updated for Android Oreo
The GravityBox Xposed Framework module has been updated with Android Oreo support. The beta release was developed and tested on the Nexus 5X.
It took a long time for the Xposed framework to be updated with support for Android Nougat, but after an immense amount of work, XDA Senior Recognized Developer rovo89 accomplished the feat in October. Thankfully, it took significantly less time to bring Xposed to Android Oreo. Popular Xposed modules are already starting to receive Android Oreo compatibility updates, including GravityBox from XDA Recognized Contributor C3C076.
Xposed Installer v3.15 & Xposed Framework v90-beta2 are out with Android Oreo Fixes and Optimizations
Earlier this month we saw the first beta version of Xposed Framework released for Android 8.0 and Android 8.1 Oreo, and today rovo89 has announced Xposed Installer v3.15 and Xposed Framework v90-beta2 that fixes some of those beta bugs.
It may have taken XDA Senior Recognized Developer rovo89 a while to get Xposed Framework working on Android Nougat, but that wasn't the case with Android Oreo. Three months after Xposed was released for Nougat, the first beta version of the framework for Android 8.0 and Android 8.1 Oreo was released. Today, the Xposed Installer—the Xposed Framework's frontend installation and management tool—has been updated to version 3.15.
Xposed Framework for Android Oreo 8.0/8.1 Now Available in Beta
The official Xposed Framework for Android Oreo 8.0 and 8.1 is now in beta testing, bringing Xposed Module support to the Google Pixel & other phones!
With the Android Oreo update, Google continues to polish the Android experience for all users. The update notably brings picture-in-picture mode support from Android TV, the Autofill Framework which replaces the need for password managers' laggy accessibility services, and notification channels for more fine-grained control over your notifications. In addition to these changes, some previously root-only tweaks such as theming your device no longer require root, so there are less reasons to root your phone. Still, for those of you who do root your devices, you now have another tool at your disposal: access to the Xposed Framework for Android Oreo (8.0/8.1).
XPrivacyLua is an Xposed Module that Protects Your Data
XPrivacyLua, an Xposed module that's compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and newer, protects your privacy by feeding apps fake or nonsense data.
If you've ever mistakenly downloaded an application you didn't trust with your data, you might have stumbled upon XPrivacy. It's an Xposed module that protects your privacy by feeding applications fake data or no data at all, or by restricting applications from accessing data categories such as contacts and location. It doesn't revoke or block applications' permissions (with the exception of internet and storage access), so most apps don't misbehave or crash when they're denied access. And it shows handy icons when applications request permissions, connect to the internet, or attempt to access sensitive data. But XPrivacy's only compatible with Android versions 4.0.3 - 5.1.1, and it hasn't been updated in six months. That's why XDA Recognized Developer M66B released XPrivacyLua, a spiritual successor to XPrivacy that's written in Lua and compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and newer. It's currently in alpha, but already available from the Xposed Module Repository and Github. As long as you've installed the Xposed framework, you're good to give a test drive.
Amplify, Xposed Module to Block Wakelocks/Alarms and Save Battery, Updated for Nougat
Amplify, an Xposed module for blocking wakelocks/alarms to save battery, has received a version bump to 4.0.0, adding Android Nougat and SELinux support.
Before Android 7.0 Nougat was launched, one of the most popular modules for the Xposed Framework was Amplify. Amplify, to put it short, is an Xposed Module which allows users to take full control of wakelocks and alarms on your Android device. Since it's able to control some of the worst system wakelocks, like NlpWakelock and NlpCollectorWakeLock, Amplify has been shown to significantly improve battery life. It, along with GravityBox, was one of the most sorely missed features when users upgraded to Android Nougat and left behind Xposed. Now that the Xposed Framework has been updated with full Android Nougat (7.0/7.1) support, though, Amplify has now followed suit and is compatible with the latest version of Xposed.
