Guide for Various XPOSED Modules
In this guide I will show you how to Install XPOSED Framework and its various Modules as well as how to use it.
Setting Up
First Off you need to Install the Xposed Installer.
So Download "XposedInstaller 2.1.4 by rovo89.apk" and install it normally. Direct Download Link
Next Step
Once Installed, launch the "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Install/Update"
Now you will have to Reboot so that changes take place.
After your phone has started, you can go ahead and install modules and then start modifying your Phone.

AppSettings MODULE
Assuming that you have already followed the Instruction on Post #1 (the XposedInstaller one) you can follow the guide.
AppSettings Module by rovo89
With this module you can get Dual Panel in contacts and settings app. If you don't know what dual panel is then don't worry you will for sure like it.
You Can set DPIs as per your wish, and also increase or decrease font size. Make an App Full Screen.
Well this module is really awesome, but to see how awesome you will have to Download the Module.
Setting Up
After you have Downloaded the App, Install it normally.
Then head to "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Modules" TAB.
You should be able too see "App Settings [0.4]", on the left side of that there you will find an empty check-box, click on it.
As soon as you click on it a message will appear saying "Xposed module list was updated Changes will appear on reboot"
Well forget that and just Reboot (No Fast Reboot, Full Reboot ONLY).
After rebooting, now this app will be usable.
Now go into your AppDrawer and open up "App Settings".
At first it will load apps, won't take a lot of time.
Dual Panel Tutorial
Now quickly scroll to "Settings" (The settings app, in the installed App list) and once you find it click on it.
At first you will not be able too see any setting or options, so to get those options slide the "OFF" to "ON" (the one beside save button).
In the DPI change the default value to "180"
And in the "Screen (dp)" select "800x1280".
Below the "List Res" button tick the "xlarge res"
Now hit the save button on the top right corner, just below the clock on statusbar.
A popup will come "Apply Settings" just press the "Yes" button.
Done! Now you have a dual panel settings app.
You can do the same with Contacts app to but let me just tell you that modding the contacts app may lead to your phone app crashing, why? I don't know.
Force an App to Fullscreen Mode
So you want to force an app so that you can view it in Fullscreen mode, in that case AppSettings Module will help you.
For example you want "Facebook" app to go Fullscreen then you will have to follow these steps.
Find "Facebook" in the list of apps in AppSettings Module, then Click on it.
In order to change any setting you will have to Slide the "OFF" to "ON" (the one beside save button).
Once done you will be able to see lots of options.
Now tick the "Fullscreen" option. Now hit the save button on the top right corner.
Done, next time you open Facebook you will see that in Fullscreen.
Note this works on most apps but it could break some app.
In case you want to get the default appearance then open the "App Settings" app and then select the app that you had modded and then simply slide the "ON" to OFF".
After you do that, click on the save button and then hit the "Yes" button.
Back to how it was.

Could not find the Official Thread for this Module. If anyone knows it then please notify me and I will update this post with the link.
GravityBox
GravityBox Module by C3C076
Download LINK [Latest]
GravityBox is really-really useful module for Vanilla or Close to Vanilla Android Phones. It works with most MTK Phones and some non-MTK Phones.
It won't work with Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, CM, AOKP, ROOTBOX, etc.
And with this new update it supports Android 4.2 and 4.3 Completely.
All credits for "GravityBox" app goes to its developer C3C076.
Here is the LINK to official thread.
IconThemer MODULE
IconThemer Module by ruqqq
Download LINK
Well IconThemer is really a very awesome app, it can be used to change icons of app. So basically, you can use most of the icon packs available for launchers like Apex, Nova and others to change Icons of apps. The reason this is special is that unlike these IconPacks working on Launcher this App can take icons from the icon packs and change the icon inside the apk file so that even when you open the settings app to and check on apps, you will see the changed icons.
Setting Up
After you have Downloaded the App, Install it normally.
Then head to "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Modules" TAB.
You should be able too see "Icon Themer [v1.5]", on the left side of that there you will find an empty check-box, click on it.
As soon as you click on it a message will appear saying "Xposed module list was updated Changes will appear on reboot"
Do what the message said and Reboot (No Fast Reboot, Full Reboot ONLY).
After rebooting, now this app will be usable.
Icon Switch
First of, you need icons that will take over the default icons. No need to worry you don't have to make it, there are dozens of free and paid iconpacks available on the PlayStore.
Here, as an example we will choose "Holo Icons" (iconpack).
Now head to IconThemer app which will be in your AppDrawer.
The first time you open IconThemer App it will demand Root Permission, GRANT IT!
Next in the DropDown Menu below "Choose icon pack:" Select "Holo Icons" theme.
Tick "Use Icon Mask/Shaders" if it is unticked by default.
Now hit "Apply Icon Pack", Once it finishes its Job a Message will appear saying "Icon Pack Applied".
Now select "Got it!" And do a Full Reboot.
Note, you can take any Icon Pack you like. We used Holo Icons only as an example here.

XThemeEngine MODULE
XThemeEngine Module by ruqqq
Download LINK
This Module can really kill the need to install an Custom ROM. With this Module you can apply themes which change almost everything, from Settings App's Background till the Statusbar Icons and Background. This is one fantastic Module.
Setting Up
Download the App, and install it like you install any other APK file.
Then open up "Xposed Installer" app and select the "Modules" TAB.
Now you must have got a hang of it if you followed the previous tutorials too. So anyways, enable XThemeEngine.
Reboot.
Applying The Theme
Well, the themes are similar to the CM Themes and Most of them are ported from pre-existing CM Themes. But you need "XThemes" in order to work with this Module.
So, get an XTheme that you like and Install it like an regular app,
Now open up "XThemeEngine" and open up the Drop-Down Menu below "Choose theme:"
Once you open it the list will show all the XThemes installed.
Select the XTheme that you want to apply. And press "Apply Theme" Button and then Do A Full Reboot.
Done, now your phone will have a new theme.
Note that some themes may cause Glitches. But Most of them won't.

Well technically that wasn't hidden, The setting you said are for tablets. As tablets have bigger screen they have potential to make use of the bigger screen so few 'EXTRA' Buttons appear on your Keyboard. BUT well they are not 'EXTRA' they were present earlier but they just needed a few taps on some buttons. Hope You got my point. Still thanks for sharing, few people could benefit from that.

Try the brilliant Status Bar Clock Color Mod by FemBlack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294419). Activate the mod through Xposed Installer. Open the app, hit the menu button and tap on Settings. You will find 'Notification Panel Bg' in one of the options. Save your preference and reboot. Enjoy :thumbup:

It should ideally work on stock 4.2.1. It try testing it on my A116 on stock ROM. I'm currently running Samflare v1. It works well on Samflare though.

The two signal indicators denote signal strengths of the two SIM cards housed in the phone. A116 is capable of handling two SIM cards on standby. The two colours are stock. However, if you mean to say something else in your question, I'm clueless about that.

Thanks. I just hadn't seen that before. We don't get many dual-sim phones in the US and the last time I used one it didn't support both sim cards being active at the same time so I had no idea.
I thought maybe it was a mod showing say HSPA and LTE signal the same time (which would be neat to have).

That would have definitely been a neat and useful mod (2 signal indicators denoting HSPA and LTE). It's quite possible to work it out somehow, I would assume. But I'd leave it to more experienced devs to mull over.

MIUI for Beginners
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!
Download (Or its in ROM Manager Under The Same Name As My Espresso Rom's Are Located)
F.A.Q.
Please read before posting any questions!
Q: What the difference between this version and the one on miuiandroid.com/miui.us?
A: This version includes ad-blocking, TELUS code fix, Juwe11's ram script, Kenia1234's 3D fix, and TelocationProvider.apk has been removed.
Q: My phone can't detect my external sd card?
A: Look in your sd card for a folder called, external_sd card. If it is not there, create one, and then reboot.
If it is still not being detected after making the folder, go into the MIUI Gallery, hit the menu button, select "rescan sd card".
Q: I don't have root?
A: Go into the Superuser app. Hit your menu button, select Settings. Turn on ROOT permission.
Q: I'm getting force closes?
A: Try these options in order:
- Go into the Settings and select Programs. Select Manage Applications and find your app and clear the data
- Reboot into Recovery. Select Advance Options and then Fix Permission.
- Download Android Terminal Emulator. Open it up and type su, hit enter, and then select Allow for SuperUser Permission. Next type df datadata and hit enter. If you are around 80-90%, download DiskUsage and see which apps take up the most /datadata space. Either uninstall the apps or move to your sd card.
- Reboot into Recovery; select wipe data/factory reset.
Q: Can I use the ota app to upgrade my rom version?
A: Yes you can, but you will loose the tweaks that I added.
Q: Why do I keep getting radio dump files on my sd card?
A: It happens when the modem crashes; you can delete them. If you get several of them, it is recommended that you flash a new modem.
Q: Why is battery life so bad compared to other roms?
A: Currently the rom is not optimized for our phone. Once the gingerbread source code is released, battery issue will be fixed.
Q: I applied a theme, but it didn't change everything?
A: The theme hasn't been updated to the latest version of MIUI.
Q: When I go into sms app and select the 'contacts' tab, my contacts don't show up?
A: Hit menu, select Settings. Click Advanced Settings and turn off, Filter Numbers.

Q: I can't download anything from the browser/market/etc.?
A: Try these options in order:
- Exit the app and try downloading again.
- Go into the Downloads app on your phone and select/unselect Download only using WLAN.
Q: I am using a kernel that allows for under volting, but I can't get the sliders to move in voltage app.
A. Known issue, with persistence they will move.
Q: How would I go about flashing another rom?
A: You must go back to stock before flashing another rom.
Q: Can I use a different kernel?
A: Yes, you can.
Q: How do I install Swype?

Download link corrupt.
Disregard...just read post #19
*** This mod is designed for device / rom that didn't have a onscreen navbar (i.e.: samsung rom) ***
If your rom already have a navbar, you should already have 3dot menu enabled and enabling this mod will only hide your navbar!
This mod will enable 3dot menu button in all application (using a 0 height navbar), enjoy!
Side effects:
Samsung use fixed layout for their apps, and when a navbar is enabled we got unexpected results, can't do nothing about this... (see screenshot)
after enebling the mod screenshot combination change to AOSP style: Power+MenuDown

So will this overlap applications and sit on top of them?
No, it's a guideline suggested since android 3.0 honeycomb, so the app had to support it.

Would it be practical to include a 'blacklist' feature which could be used to exclude apps like the Samsung ones which cause a problem with the screen layout?

Would it be possible for you to make an xposed mod that removes the 3 dot for devices such as Nexus 4 with softkeys. On my nexus 4 I use a menu button in my softkeys so I want to get rid of the 3 dots
I love it.... thanks for this great hack
Have same long press issues as well for recent apps. Have tried several ROMs for the T-Mobile S3 T999, all running 4.1.x Touchwiz base (need WiFi calling).
Long press opens Google voice search or s-voice depending on install

Major issue with Samsung rom (s3).
Recent apps menu does not show ( long press menu). Also the contacts (phone app) are overlapped by the menu button, cannot see the first contact.
Canot take screenshots either...
Otherwise, great idea and app.

There's lots of things I'd love to change, such as navbar, quick setting etc, how to I do this with xposed framework? What do I need to install to enable it? And then I just download individual apps on the play store to do different things and they all interact with xposed?
Sorry for the newbiness but i don't fully understand it... I think I used wanam on my note 2 at one point...
God damn it. I would love to explain it to you, but I just left my computer, so I'll make this short.
Xposed is a framework that allows you to install and apply individual modules. Let's say that you want the stock notification center. Usually you would have to flash a AOSP ROM to get it, but with Xposed you can simply download a tiny module that does it for you.
To install it, just google "Xposed framework" (there's a XDA thread), download and simply tap "Install" and reboot. That's it. Next you'll want a module or two...or three or whatever. Click "Download" in the app and browse through them. Find anything you like? Click install, enable the module under "Modules" and reboot. Voila!
That's the basics of it. If a module isn't compatible and you end up in a bootloop, boot into recovery and flash the Xposed "revert zip", and it'll remove your modules so you can boot again.
Here are the modules that I'm using right now:
- App Settings (change app DPI)
- Advanced Power Menu (reboot etc. in the power menu)
- Hide Stamina Icon (hides the statusbar icon)
- YouTube AdAway (removes YouTube video ads)
- GravityBox (everything that you can think of)
Well, this post was intended to be much shorter, but yeah

Xperia Flip Settings. If you want to add and arrange the tiles, you'll have to use GravityBox or some other module that includes that feature.

xRenamer
rename your apps universally
This Xposed module allows you to rename your apps as you want. Some launchers have a feature that allows you to change the label of the apps on the launcher. For me this isn't satisfying enough, as the name actually stays the same and if you get an "choose an action" dialog the real name jumps out. The problem is easy, there is no way to. After noticing this module, which is created to rename QuickPic, I got the idea to create an app that allows you to rename any app(almost, see below). I developed the code further(my first android app ^^) to be able to change all the names at runtime and here it is: xRenamer.
Screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
The Xposed Framework
Min sdk version of 11, which should be no problem
Installation:
Install the app.
Activate the module in the xposed settings.
Reboot.
Rename!
Permissions:
KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES to restart the launcher
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to save the settings
Limits:
At the moment, xRenamer is not able to rename:
System apps
Some rare apps(e.g the amazon app)
I am looking for a way to be able to rename these as well.
As long as this isn't the case, there are color tags in the app list dialog.
Green indicates that the app is an user application
Red indicates that the app is an system application
Yellow indicates that the app is neither in /data, nor in /system stored. Most of the time the app is an user application stored in /mnt/asec
Usage:
To rename an app tap the add button and either enter the package name of the app you want to rename by yourself or press the list button and choose an app from the list of installed apps. When an app has been identified, the icon will show up and a text is shown. Keep in mind that the add button won't be activated until the app has been identified. The add button also doesn't show up if you havn't entered a new name or if an entry for the app already exists.
To remove an entry tap the remove button. The actionbar will turn red and you are now able to delete an entry by simply tapping
it. Tab the button again to exit the remove mode.
To change an entry simply tab it and a dialog will pop up where you can change the name.
Although changes are applied during runtime, you may need to restart various apps for them to realize the change. For this purpose there is a button to restart the launcher hidden in the overflow menu.

I tested the app on my Note 3, running 4.4.2 and it's running fast and stable.
If you find any bugs, want to give your opinion or have an idea, feel free to do so.
Thanks to:
pyler for the idea and the basic code

Hey! Thanks for this man!
Work for most apps.
Doesn't work for: Dolphin Browser, .Sprit2 (FM radio) & Google Camera (in data, non in system).
Edit:
Working
I have been in need of this functionality for so long. Thank you! Did not work on DialApp and Today Calendar, but that is it.
Would it be possible to add the ability to change app icons too? With Apex launcher, I can change them on the home screen, but I can't do anything if it is in the drawer and a theme I'm using doesn't cover some of my more obscure apps. That would be the icing on the cake.

Thats actually a really nice suggestion. I will look over it today. It would also be a nice Addition to unicon which doesnt allow single items to change.

It's one of those things that always bug me about apps with horrible icons. I've deleted apps before because I couldn't stand look at them in my drawer. Even better would be to link it directly to installed icon packs and incorporate an icon picker.
I wish I could do this myself, but I'm glad you find the idea interesting.
EDIT: the more I think about it, the more I want to give it a try myself. I have yet to make an app, and I think this would be a great thing to start with.

Dint work for me for Quickpic I tried it with Lightning Launcher
I get this message every time I open the app. Please help!
@GalaxyInABox: Great idea!
I've a feature request: Please add an option to change the app-icon, so everybody could use custom icons (some complained about my "ugly icons )
Why does you store the settings on the sd card? /data/data/<packagename>/files sould also be okay.
If it does not work for some apps, it could be because of the wrong/multiple android.intent.action.MAIN/android.intent.category.LAUNCHER activities in the Manifest.xml.
The yellow package names are not good to read on white background, i recommend blue

This happens if the app isn't able to write to your internal sdcard. What device are you using? It could be the case that your device or rom doesnt link /emulated/0 correctly.

I already have some idea how to do the icon replacer.
And writing to the sdcard will be removed in the next patch. I found a better way to do!

I'm using Galaxy S2 (I9100) running Cyanogenmod 4.3.1. I think it isn't working because my internal sdcard is not at the location /storage but at /storage/sdcard0 or directly /sdcard. Is there any way to resolve the issue?

I have written a kind of hotfix which discards the use of the sdcard. The drawback is that it requires a reboot after changing the settings(like adding or deleting an entry). I try to find the issue, but if I don't find it quickly, I will upload the hotfixed version as a beta branch.

As far as I experience, most Xposed modules require reboot after I apply changes. So, where is the problem?

1.0 doesn't require it so I wanted to mention it.
Problem
Nothing happens at my device!II changed the names,I also rebooted but still no different name! :silly: With the initial release,it showed me the error toast,now with the updated version it doesn't show the message but still not working!
Love the idea, but it's not working on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. When I press "Restart Launcher", the launcher restarts and then a couple seconds later xRenamer force closes and no changes are applied.
So far, I've tried it on S Educate, Tetris, and aLogcat. All of which are user apps and not stored on SD card.

Flipster is an Xposed module which allows you to change the icon and name of an app and also all the colors and icons inside an app. These changes are applied systemwide.
I decided to work on this because xSuite module hasn't been updated to support Lollipop.
Instructions
(Need to update again)
Bugs
Although it worked fine in initial tests, there could be some bugs which I haven't encountered yet. Please report them and I'll try to fix ASAP
Download
As xSuite module was available for free, I decided to keep Flipster free as well.
But if you like the app, a donation would be appreciated
Get it from Play store or Xposed repo

How to find icon names?
• Use a file manager which can extract or open an apk file directly. Then go inside res folder
• Inside the res folder, if one of these mipmap folders exist, you will find the launcher icon inside one of them (most cases)
• These drawable folders contain all the icons used inside an app.
Also, if mipmap folders don't exist, you'll also find the launcher icon here.
• Enter icon name in Flipster and choose mipmap/drawable (wherever you found the icon) and it will be replaced after a reboot
If you find new launcher icon names of apps, please post them on this thread.
But if you're not registered on XDA, just add comments on this spreadsheet or send an email to [email protected]
This spreadsheet will help others and also be useful to implement icon pack support which I plan to do in the future when there are enough apps in the sheet

Hi, sorry I made a small mistake before releasing the app and the module is not working currently. I'll release a new update very soon.
Hangouts and camera should work. But Nova launcher won't. I'll have a look at it later.

I've fixed the bug and released an update. It will be available from Play store within a couple of hours.

Camera (stock Android) is working. Icon name is logo_camera_color_44in48dp. Type is mipmap.
If you need icon names of any other apps, let me know. I'll update the spreadsheet accordingly.
I'm using LG FLEX 2 with Xposed framework ver. 75.

No, it didn't change anywhere i think... Tried a few other apps.
I looked in settings app and in titanium backup icon is the same, but in Flipster it shows as changed.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? There was a tip about icon name. I didn't set any.

You have to specify the icon name. Otherwise it won't change.
Viber -> ic_launcher_viber (drawable). Try it and let me know.
I don't have an LG device, so you'll have to give me the apk of phone app.
If you need other icon names, let me know

Thank you! Viber icon changed in apps!
But there is a problem. LG launcher shows old icon. Both in home screen and app drawer.
I tried rebooting a few times, and restarting LG Launcher after boot, nothing worked
Maybe there is a cache of old icon somewhere?
Also I can send you apk of phone and other apps I need, but I think it will be faster if there was a tutorial on how to check icon name.
That way everyone can contribute to your google drive sheet.
Maybe you can add auto naming or selecting from list? After we found out all app icon names of course

Yea launchers are annoying. Most of them don't change. Stock AOSP launcher is the only one I've found to be working properly.
(I'll take a look at LG launcher's code)

Yes I will soon. Detailed instructions with images.
But basically, all you need to do is use a file manager to extract the apk (some file managers also allow to browse without extracting). Then go inside 'res' folder. If you see a 'mipmap' folder there, it will have the launcher icon inside it. If not, just open one of the drawable folders (xxhdpi, xhdpi, etc) and find the name of the launcher icon. Hope you got it?
Maybe you can add auto naming or selecting from list? After we found out all app icon names of course

Sure yea. I created this app for personal use but if a lot of people start using, I'll implement auto import.

What you can do is extract the apk and copy the icons you need to a different directory. That's what I do.
Icons are found in one of the drawable folders in the res folder of the package.
