ADVANCED POWER MENUXposed Mod
Advanced Power Menu is an Xposed Mod which adds advanced reboot options (reboot, soft reboot and reboot to recovery) and screenshot option to your power menu. It works on both AOSP and Xperia devices. For rebooting into recovery, a special implementation for Xperia devices is used, but it will also work on AOSP devices.
Features
[NEW] Anti-theft helper - Stop anyone from turning off your phone /enabling airplane mode when the device is locked. In this way no one can stop Android Device Manager from locating your phone by turning off the phone or disabling mobile data (removable battery not taken into account)
A dedicate first-level option for rebooting
Fully working reboot to recovery(no reboot wrapper required)*, bootloader and soft reboot
Screenshot function
Quick dial - call a predefined number directly from the power menu
Toggle mobile data from your power menu
High quality mdpi-xxhdpi icons
GUI for different configurations
Multi-language support
Thanks to Xposed framework,
Easy Installation. No flashing required.
Works both for odexed and deodexed ROMs
Quite future proof (should work for Android 4.3 if there is no big framework change from Sony)#
Should work for a lot of devices
* - For rebooting into recovery, a special implementation for Xperia devices is used, but it will also work on AOSP devices.
# - Unfortunately, there IS framework change from Sony, mainly caused by the new theming engine. Therefore the regular Xposed Installer doesn't work on Xperia 4.3 ROMs. You can download the special version here (released by rovo89, mirrored because I've forgotten the original link):http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2454695&d=1387049158

Anti-theft helper: this is what a bad guy will see if he tries to turn off your phone while the device is locked:
Settings - great level of customization:
Prerequisites
All Xperia Phones with rooted stock 4.0+ ROM / Nexus devices / AOSP#/ a number of other devices(see confirmed working devices below) (Please do test and tell me)
Xposed framework installed
#AOSP: not including CM, PAC, etc. This may mess things up and there's no point in doing so
Warning: This will definitely NOT work for Samsung TouchWiz stock ROMs or anything based on them!
The effect of this on TouchWiz ROMs will be that your phone will reboot immediately whenever you press the power button
(Google Play Edition will be ok, I think)
Note: for Android 4.4 you need the latest version of Xposed Installer (2.4 Beta 1 or later)
A user has reported that sound options disappear when using this mod on HTC One. I currently have no idea why this happens, and I'm too busy to figure it out at this moment. Sorry.
Installation
You will need xposed framework and for this mod to work! See prerequisites above.
After you meet the prerequisites,
Download and install the apk in the next post
Go to Xposed Installer > Modules and enable "Advanced Power Menu"
Reboot and you are done! (Sometimes you might need to reboot more than once for all functions to work)

Special Thanks

Appeal
If this app helps you please press the Thanks button.
Note
The Change Network State and Internet permission is needed for toggling mobile data.
NOTICE
My app, as well as some other xposed modules, was placed on Google Play without my consent.
This Google Play entry (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ncedrebootmenu) was made without my knowledge and agreement, and I am by no means affiliated with the said developer on that entry.
Authentic releases, whether current or future, is only available on Xposed Modules Repository unless I make another notice.
Download
From now on, Advanced Power Menu is hosted on Xposed Module Repository. You may go to there to download, or directly download from Xposed Installer App.
Old versions on xda:
v3.0
v2.1r
v2.1b
v2.0r
v2.0b
v1.1r
v1.1b
v1.0 apk
Which version should I download?
Release(r): Disabled most of the logs. Use this if you have no problems with the app
Beta(b): With full verbose logging. Use this if you encounter problems. Logs can be found at /data/xposed/debug.log
What can you do if the app doesn't work / if issue happens?
Step 1: Try fixing it yourself
1. Make sure that you have read the prerequisites and installation guide thoroughly/
2. Reboot your phone TWICE (TWO TIMES)
For every single xposed mod, a reboot after installation is necessary. But that might not be enough as users have reported that the app doesn't work after a single reboot, but things get right when they reboot again. So rebooting TWICE is recommended
3. Disable all other Xposed Mod
Xposed framework do take care of mods that hook the same method, but sometimes conflicts can still happen. Try disabling all mods except mine in the Xposed Installer. Then reboot and see if things get right.
4. Clear app data/reinstalling my app
The settings may get messed up when my app updates, so try reinstalling and see if it helps.
5. Use an older version of my app
Try this and see if it helps. If so that means a new update breaks something old and please tell me about that!
If all the above doesn't work, you can then send me an issue report.
Step 2: Tell me and see if I can fix it
(Please don't do this before doing step 1)
Please send me an issue report including
1) a description of the issue
2) screenshots (if it helps explain the situation)
3) The device, ROM, Android OS version, and the app version
4) debug.log (Please enable verbose logging in my app first, then do something like long-pressing the power button)(you may obtain the log in xposed installer 2.4)
5) Anything else you think it's important
through one of the following means:
1) xda forum thread/PM (preferred)
2) e-mail (NOTE: please begin your subject with [APM] so I can better sort my emails. Thanks)
Please note that I can't solve the problem with insufficient information. I will also IGNORE any email with NO BODY TEXT (I use gmail)
Keep in mind that even with all the information I still may not be able to fix your problem because I do not own your device and I'm only a novice android developer. Sorry.
FAQ
Q: The mod doesn't work!
A: Other xposed mods might interfere with this mod. Disable them, reboot and try again.
Q: Rebooting into recovery doesn't work!
A: Flashing the DoomLorD's reboot wrapper MAY help. However, as the wrapper is intended to be optional, there might be something wrong. So it'd be nice if you could send me some logs
Q: There's something wrong with the mod...
A: Just disable the mod in Xposed Installer and reboot. Then everything should be fine again (Should this happens please tell me and send me the debug.log and debug.log.old files. This helps me to fix the issue)]
Q: I have a bootloop! What should I do now?
You can follow the following methods (quoted from xposed framework main thread) to disable the xposed framework
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.

Usage Warning
DO NOT press Vol-Down + Power while a screenshot taken by Advanced Power Menu is being saved! This will result in constant force-stop of System UI and you will need to reboot the phone to solve this!
Usage Tip
You can long-press the reboot option on the power menu if you wanna do a normal reboot. Then you can skip the reboot mode dialogue.

It works just fine. Installs and works as stated by the OP.
Work good here . Stock Fw .244 Odex.
Thank you so much. :thumbup:

Thanks for this! :good:
Much nicer than the ugly hack I had on my devices, since I find the resources part always a big deterrent
I would just suggest that you remove the logging code to prevent clutter on the debug.log file, since it appears to be working fine.
To me the following message: There was a problem parsing the package.
Damn, I want this application. :crying:
Note: Xblast tools work fine in me phone.
Worked on Xperia ZL 244 ODEX :good:

Works great!

ADVANCED REBOOT MENUXposed Mod
targeted towards the Sony Xperia Z
Many of us are waiting for a perfect reboot menu. We don't want one that hides your original power off option with the reboot options in a sub-menu. We don't want one that are specifically for deodexed ROMs. We don't want one that works only partially (very often reboot to recovery doesn't work for Xperia Z, as there is no dedicate reboot partition). We don't want one that doesn't work with a firmware update. We just want a simple reboot menu to get things easier...
Now, wait NO MORE as I proudly present you my work of ADVANCED REBOOT MENU Xposed Mod.
Features
A dedicate first-level option for rebooting
Fully working reboot to recovery and soft reboot
High quality xxhdpi icons
Thanks to Xposed framework,
Easy Installation. No flashing required. (except reboot wrapper)
Works both for odexed and deodexed ROMs
Quite future proof (should work for Android 4.3 if there is no big framework change from Sony)
Should work for a number of similar devices (not tested)
Screenshots
Prerequisites
A rooted Sony Xperia Z with stock odexed or deodexed ROM / All Xperia Phones with rooted stock ROM(Please do test and tell me)
DooMLoRD's Reboot Wrapper "for xperia devices" installed(for rebooting into recovery)
Xposed framework installed
Installation
You will need xposed framework and reboot wrapper(only for rebooting into recovery) for this mod to work! See prerequisites above.
After you meet the prerequisites,
Download and install the apk below
Go to Xposed Installer and enable "Advanced Reboot Menu"
Reboot and you are done!
If you use the reboot to recovery or soft reboot function for the first time you may need to grant superuser permission.
Download
v1.0 apk

Thank you. But it seems that it's still not the right time to remove the logging code (still some people are having issues)

Soft Reboot: see below
Recovery: Did you flashed DooMLoRD's reboot wrapper? Rebooting into recovery doesn't work without that.
You can test whether you've installed the reboot wrapper by entering the following commands in the terminal emulator:
Code:
$ su
# reboot recovery
If this boots straight into recovery, you've reboot wrapper installed.

Problems regarding soft reboot:
When I first tested my application the soft reboot is somehow ~15 seconds shorter than normal reboot. But when I test now the soft reboot is ~10 seconds longer than the normal reboot. This shows that the two reboot modes are actually the same and the differences are just some periodic fluctuations. Soft reboot doesn't work. Sorry for that.
However, I have still not found any mod/app that can implement a 'soft reboot' that is drastically shorter than normal reboot. I think due to the unique framework structure, it may not be possible to implement a meaningful 'soft reboot' on Xperia Z. If you can find any mod/app that can do this, do tell me about that. Thanks.
Anyway I'll remove the soft reboot option in the next version.

Same thing here - XposedInstaller's soft reboot is much faster than the regular reboot.
How about trying the same technique in the next update to see how it goes for users? https://github.com/rovo89/XposedInstaller/blob/master/assets/soft_reboot.sh

Please guys, there would be no help given if the problem is not because of xnote.
Before asking mods related stuff please check if there is an xposed module active as almost all the time that seems to be problem.
And for people having 4g issues. This thread is for N9005 ,not for any other variants. We still try to help as much as we can. But dont move questions between threads.. if you need help. Pm users like @djbrian52 @Upstreammiami @Ark1406 as they are pretty helpful when it comes to other variants. As for other questions if not answered promptly please eat @Khizar 's brain
Patience beats all and a little knowledge about things too

Q."How do you remove the power button the left, and the home button on the right on status bar?"
A. Go into X-Note Control, Extra Settings, then uncheck both show/hide home button and show/hide lock button. And Restart SystemUI.
Q."There's a white line on top of my screen, and I didn't have it on stock! I'm pretty sure it's not something wrong with my screen...HELP!"
A. Go to X-Note Control App >> X-Note Panel >> Battery Bar Settings
Q."How do I get my clock back to the center, I don't like it in the right"
A. Currently you cannot move clock you need to flash the file BatteryMod disabler posted in the next post after that you can enjoy every feature you could in X10.
Q."How do I get rid of the traffic monitor under my clock? It is starting to bug me now when I'm not downloading or browsing I just see 0kb/s."
A. Go to X-Note Control App >>Extras >> Status Bar Mods >> Show/Hide Network Speed
Q."Is there root on X-Note? I don't seem to have it"
A. X-Note is already rooted .
Q."How do I get the black and white Play Store?"
A.Here
Q."How do I install TW themes with these .apk files?"
A. Just install it, then press the menu button on your home screen, click Themes, then choose the one you like.
Q."Can I overclock on X-Note Kernel?"
A. No
Q."The bootanimation is so flashy, too flashy for my eyes to bear, I'm planning to move on to another ROM if they don't change this!!!"
A. HOLD UP! You can change the boot animation easily by going into the OTA section of X-Note, download the BIOS boot animation and flash it in recovery. OR! You can flash the zip provided by myself (fahadali2315) on the 3rd post below that would get you the default X-Note 7 Boot Animation!
FIRMWARE/RECOVERY/BOOT/KERNEL RELATED
Q."Would I need the Poland firmware to install? Or can I use my locally released KK as a base for flashing X-Note?"
A. If you have KitKat already installed, you will already have the bootloader required to flash X-Note. Hence, all you need to do is get to KitKat using any method
Q."What other kernels should I try?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat Kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel are quite good. NOTE: You WILL trip your KNOX if you haven't already.
Q."What is the difference between stock kernel and stock kernel with init.d added?"
A. The init.d is a more advanced user option, where it allows the automatic execution of the scripts contained with /system/etc/init.d folder at each boot. Only select this if you plan to use scripts.
Q."What is this BTU CSC? What would happen if I live in XXXXX and my region is not specified?"
A. CSC means Customer Sales Code, and contains Carrier Settings and information. Installing a BTU CSC on an Australian device would not affect anything. It only gives you extra options.
Q."Why isn't my modem updated after installing the ROM? It's still at NA2!"
A. The ROM does not, and will never have, a modem install option. If you want to install/update a specific modem, you will have to flash it in Odin manually.
KITKAT 4.4 RELATED
Q. I cannot get into Tablet mode ?
A. It is because of the lovely updates from GOOGLE to blame
Q."Ongoing notifications are pushed down and temporary notifications are placed on top of the ongoing notifications! What's going on?"
A. This is a new Android 4.4 feature and is not yet changeable.
Q."On 4.3 when I swiped down on the notification bar, no matter where I swiped I would be able to pull it down. Now on the latest X-Note, when I swipe close to the right of the screen, the notification bar goes from transparent to dark...why is this?"
A.There is no workaround for this, as this is an official 4.4 feature so that it allows users to view the notification status bar with a solid background instead of intruding what is behind it. It is a visually pleasing feature over functionality.
Q."What is the Kit Kat Addons in Aroma?"
A. They are the CM11 apps that get installed usually when you install a CyanogenMod ROM, they include the AOSP Clock, 8sms and AOSP Calculator apps.
XPOSED/OTHER MODSQ. "When I press the volume buttons on the homescreen, I get a volume scrubber with a gear icon. When I click on the gear icon, it enlarges but there used to be more options to scrub for Media, System and Alarm. What happened?"
A. This is due to GravityBox. Make sure you select Media Tweaks -> Expandable Volume Panel -> Fully Expandable Volume Panel and if you want Expand Automatically.
Q."What's wrong with Xposed? Whenever I enable a module, nothing happens!"
A. Have you installed the latest version of Xposed and rebooted.
Q."The call recorder function only gives me a hissing noise when I playback, what's wrong?"
A. Not Supported in 4.4.2
Q: Why is YouTube force closing as soon as I click on it on my launcher?
A.The latest Youtube as of March 13th conflicts with the Xposed module YouTube AdAway, Disable it in Xposed and it will stop force closing on app start.The latest update in Xposed Installer (1.6) fixes the crash, so make sure you update it
Q. My Playstore shows incompatible phone when i try downloading some apps?
A. Download xposed module Playstore Fixes and set your phones original density(480) to sent to google. Then it will work
Q. I have weird looking bar on top of Contacts/Dialer.
A. Disable Menu Overflow from Gravitybox.
Thanks to @Khizar for this find.
OTHERS
Q. Screen Rotation is not working after deleting SamsungHub.apk?
A. Flash this file to fix it .Link Thanks to @Killberty for the link
Q."After flashing the ROM my Wifi and 4G/3G is not very good, what's wrong?"
A. It is not the ROM's fault, this is your Modem. Make sure you installed your region's modem on your phone. Don't go around asking where to get the 'latest' modem, as the latest is not the greatest in all cases. Use the modem you usually believe to be the best. 4.3 modems are not compatible with 4.4 ROMs.
Q.Is this ROM working properly on other variants?
A. It works well on N900W8 and N900T provided that you install the patches required for it to work. There is also an N900A version on the AT&T section.
Q."How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. This is generally not recommended, but if you must do it on your own JUST FLASH THE AROMA SETUP AND IT WILL WIPE YOUR SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY .
Q."Something is wrong with my multiwindow, shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiqktHuVa6A
A. Well, you're a strange one, If you are using Swiftkey, stop using it now. If not, flash the latest ROM and see if it fixed.
Q."My battery is draining heavily! What's going on?"
A. Download BetterBatteryStats from the second post of this thread and look for what is eating your battery and greenify that damn app :BBS LINK
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Make sure you have flashed stock, kernel, modem, and everything up to date on the 4.4.2 iterations of the files. If you have anything 4.3, that is likely to cause problems. DO NOT FLASH THE N900W8 NFC/Wifi/BT FIX AS IT WILL NOT HELP. Clear your cache/dalvik cache.
KNOX
Q."I don't want to trip KNOX when installing X-Note! How should I approach this?"
A. Use this Guidebut there is no definite proof of not tripping KNOX if you know what you're doing.Be sure that you do not install any recovery from Aroma Installer, or else say goodbye to your KNOX Warranty.
IF YOU FOLLOW FLASHING ANY OTHER WAY YOU WILL DEFINATELY TRIP KNOX 0x1
TIPS- Samsung Email have big characters when writing a email in some density, recommended to install in aroma AOSP email or use Xposed
- Use Xlarge res (with xposed app settings module) for samsung Video app (com.samsung.everglades.video) at lower densities
FOR X-NOTE CANADIAN N900W8If you're on N900W8 Canadian,Follow this link to get a fully working X-Note
Link
Q: Will this new update trip my KNOX when I'm already on the 0x0 leaked Mexican Bootloader?
A: No it will not. No updates will. No kernels will. As the recovery does not write to the Bootloader, your bootloader will always be "happy".
Q. "What other kernels should I try if I'm a Canadian user?"
A. CivZ's SnapKat kernel or Wootever's N3 Kernel (Make sure you select the N900T version)
Q. What should I do if my NFC/BT/Wifi isn't working?
A. Did you flash the NFC/Wifi/BT fix? If yes, make sure you cleared cache and dalvik, as well as Fixing Permissions in CWM/TWRP so that the permissions are cleaned next boot.
Q. "How do I dirty flash this ROM?"
A. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50477486&postcount=662

Updating Bootloader or Modem
if you are already on stock kitkat 4.4 , you dont need the bootloader . If you are on 4.3 flash the bootloader provided in OTA links same goes for MODEM.
Procedure for MODEM
1.Download the file for modem ,
2. Power off your phone completely , press home +vol down + power and go into download mode when it shows two options press volume up
3.Plug your phone into PC
4.Open Odin 3.09 and select CP or for older versions select phone
5.Choose the modem.tar.md5 file you downloaded .
6.Dont touch anything else in odin
7.Start the procedure , it will restart the phone itself . Go in about device if it still shows NA2 or older baseband do the procedure again .
it tends to work the second time.
Same Procedure for BOOTLOADER
Just change CP OR PHONE TO AP OR PDA for Bootloader in odin.

Hello. Is it possible to Centre clock on xnote 11 ? Thanks for answers

Hello. Is it possible to Centre clock on xnote 11 ? Thanks for answers
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only possible way to center the clock is using xposed modules, but it won't work if you have OGbatteryMod enabled As it interferes with other statusbar mods .
So if you are willing to disable OGBATTERY, then you can center the clock however you want.
1. how to move clock to center together with the network meter? (tried with gravity box, not moved. didn't use wanam since it will cover the network meter) edit: so which module do you use to center the clock and make battery circle with %?
2. how to disable og battery mod? (since i read, it does interfere with other xposed module...) edit: ah...you explained it again above
3. is solo reading this thread? maybe he can give some answer...
Erase your BatteryMod by flashing the erase file .
BatteryMod Erase & Restore
Use Gravity Box or wanam Xposed to do whatever you want after that
Wanam has all the features . Battery % and statusbar mods . Check them out.
This thread is a great idea... thanks.
Q. How can I restore the stock boot animation with sound?
Wow Using Wanam after ages and this is what i make of my notification bar it took me less than 5mins.

Not really. A new Samsung "feature" is to disable any new baseband updates on 4.4.2 if you don't have "official" rom/kernel status. In order to flash a new baseband you need to use TriangleAway to get official status, boot immediately to download mode and install a modem with Odin.

4. Real_Pac's Back up File for MyAndroid Tools (pro)-Fix to solve Wakelock issues caused by Google Play Services
+ also disabling unnecessary Services to save more battery!!!
We all heard about wakelocks and generally about services which drains the battery of our phones immediately.
To disable them without knowledge could damage your running system.
I made a Back Up for "MyAndroid Tools (pro)" to find on Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=de to make that procedure very easy for you.
You will be able to disable more than 150!!! services with just one tap.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
2. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage.
3. Now open the app "MyAndroidTools" and tap on "about".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).
Standard Zip:
After restoring this file you won't be able to use Google fitness gadgets, streamcasts, Google Kids and also Google Wear.
Light Zip:
This Zip file wont disable any of the above mentioned services.
Alternative method if "MyAndroidtools Pro" doesn't work.-@daltonhrrll Big thanks for his alternative method!
1. Download the app "Disable Service" from Playstore- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
2. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
3. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage
4. Rename the file"myandroidtoolspro_backup.txt" to "DS_backup.txt".
3. Now open the app "Disable Service" and tap on "settings".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).

Warning!
[LP5.1.x User be careful!Amplify will only work if your current Rom supports unofficial Xposed]
One chapter before I was talking about disabling services to save battery. The. most battery drain was caused by "Google Services".
But some of them are really important for your running system. So, now we gonna change their delay time to fix the wakelock problems and to save battery.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" over years. To find on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=de
You also need xposed framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 [email protected] and

5b. Calkulin's [MOD] [v7.x] Google Play Services with System Update Wake Lock Fix
thanks to: @Calkulin @abhi08638 (for the hint)

5c. Real_Pac's Greenify-Restorable Titanium Backup File
We all know "Greenify" is a great tool to hiberante active user apps and system apps. But which system-apps are safe to hibernate?
I made a restorable "Titanium Backup"- file which one includes almost every stock system-app.
Please hibernate all your user-apps manually.
Important:
- Android 5.1.x user's should activate the greenify module in xposed settings only then if the unofficial xposed build for 5.1.x works on your current Rom . Otherwise your phone will stuck
on bootscreen
- Do not hibernate apps with push-services if you wanna still receive "push-messages".
- Android 5.0 user should switch to "Boost-mode".
- Android 5.1.x user should switch to "Root-mode" if "Boost-mode" isn't supported.
Both can apply this file without any problems.
I'm also gonna make a restorable file for "boost-mode". Be patient
Hints:
I recommend to buy the "paid-version". The expermential features will allow you to hibernate more apps, specially system apps.
If you tap on the "3-dot symbol" you will be able to find the entry "create hibernation shortcut". It makes an shortcut on your homescreen which will allow you to hibernate all selected apps before with just one click.
Instruction:
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Greenify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Greenify.
4. Confirm
That's all

6. Fixes, Mods and Tweaks
As the title says, tested by me:
[FIX] Low Mic Call V1_Final [ALL ROMS] credits: @tazzkiller
Great fix to solve the mic problem of our Oneplus One.
-Just download the newest Zip file and unzip to the root of your internal storage.
-Both files have to be on same path
-Now flash over recovery
You're done!

Great mod to give you a new sound experience on your Oneplus One.
Combine it with my Viper4android profile.

[Flashable[ROOT]Omniswitch instead recent panel for LP5.1.x
credits: @kikuto for "Toggle Omniswitch"
I hate the stock recent panel. The best alternative for me was Omniswitch. But some Custom Roms doesnt't have this inside.
Found some "solutions" before but with no possibility to use it instead of stock recent panels.
A Xda-User called @kikuto https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch made a toggle apk.
It will allow you to open omniswitch but the stock recent panel in navbar will still exist.
I made a flashable Zip which already included the newest "Omniswitch" and "Toggle Omniswitch".
Just flash it and follow this....
Now, there are 2 ways to change it:
If your current roms supports custom navbar settings, follow instruction 1. If not, follow instruction 2.
1:
A. Go to Navbar settings
B. Open "buttons" settings
C. Delete the recent panel menu button
D. Add a new button and choose "Toggle Omni Switch"
2:
A. Install "Gravity Box for LP". http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
B. Open it and tap on "Navigation Bar tweaks".
C. Now tap on "Custom key settings".
D. Enable it and also tap on " Swap with menu key".
E Tap on "Single-tap action" and choose "Toggle Omniswitch"
Now open "Omniswitch and activate it"
Reboot-Done!

[APP]Intelli3G -Restorable Titanium Backup File
Setup to auto toggle between network modes helping maximize your standby
credits: @daltonhrrll -Thank you for the idea and the creation of the Manual!
What is it?
It's an xposed module that toggles between 2 user defined network modes based on current conditions. For example when your screen goes off or you connect to wifi it will switch to power saving mode, Which is 2G if you're using my profile. When your screen comes on or you disconnect from Wi-Fi it will switch you to fast network mode which will be 3G by default but you can switch it to 4G if you prefer.
Intelli3G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Instruction:
1. Make sure you have xposed installed.
2. Follow the link above to download Intelli3G.
3. Once it's been installed head over into your xposed app and activate the module.
4. Reboot
5. Download my titanium backup restorable file of Intelli3G and place it into the titanium backup folder on the root of your sd card.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_HWCBYTD4HGWjV6QUZFVEpLdnM/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Open up titanium backup find Intelli3G and restore "DATA ONLY".
7. Reboot, it may not actually be needed but do it anyways.
8. Enjoy your new battery life.
***NOTE***
By default the slow network is 2G and the fast network is 3G. If you wish to change it to 4G, open intelli3G select fast network and select LTE GSM/WCDMA. This will connect to LTE when available but use any bands it can to keep signal. My configuration you'll be restoring will not disrupt downloads or streaming as it's setup so if there is more than 15 kbps of traffic it won't switch modes until the traffic is below the threshold. There is also a 1 minute delay after screen off before it will switch to power saving mode that way if you turn your screen off then back on quickly it won't cause loss of signal which is a known issue the Dev is working on. If you do for some reason experience a loss of signal simply lock and unlock your device or toggle airplane mode on and off to fix.

Hi @real_pac , thanks a lot for sharing your optimization methods, I'm using MyAndroidTools to restore your backup, it's been an hour, the MyAndroidTools logo is still spinning, I'm not sure if the process's hung. Usually how long does it take to restore your backup?

Welcome to the NitrogenOS Q&A Megathread. Here you can find answers for the most popular problems and questions about NitrogenOS. I started this thread, so that new users don't repeatedly ask the same questions multiple times. While I am fairly new to coding in Java, I can definitely say I know a lot about Android phones and NitrogenOS, but you'll have to trust me on that. If you need any more help, you can even PM me and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.
You can find the original NitrogenOS thread here.
ROM info
Developer: xyyx
Latest Android version: 8.1 Oreo
NOS Download (latest): https://sourceforge.net/projects/nitrogen-project/files/kenzo/kenzo_test/8.1/
Bugs and updates
- A (very) small amount of users reported Google Dialer not working properly while installed through OpenGapps or the Play Store, you can still use stock dialer
1. Test or stable?!?!
Test in this case doesn't mean less stable. xyyx named the two versions a little confusingly.
Test means Oreo (Android 8.0 and 8.1) and Stable means Nougat (Android 7.1.2).
So let's make this a little less confusing:
Oreo (8.0) builds -> Download from here
Oreo (8.1) builds -> Download from here
Nougat (7.1.2) builds -> Download from here
2. Youtube PiP (Picture in Picture mode)
Google has patched PiP a long time ago, so it doesn't work with the latest Youtube releases. The last official release working with PiP is 12.34.55, which you can download from ApkMirror.
My preferred option however is iYTBP (injected YouTube Background Playback), a modified version of Youtube, but it gets a little confusing as there are multiple options.
You can download it from this thread.
Now the tricky part - choosing the right version. I always prefer the Vanced version, which can be found in the 2nd post. Again you have multiple options, but I will not go through all of them since they are explained pretty good in the post itself. While iYTBP enables PiP, it also blocks ads and adds a lot of useful settings and new updates come very frequently. There are multiple installation methods, but I prefer the Magisk one, since it offers options like detaching the Youtube app from Play Store. What this means is, that you don't have to disable auto-updates and it will not bug you to constantly update it.
You can try these methods:
Magisk Module (Easiest):
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Go to Downloads
3. In the search bar type "Youtube", you should see two results
4. Choose either the normal or the black theme (I personally prefer the black one)
5. Press the download arrow and then "Install"
6. Wait for a while (it's a big package to download and unpack)
7. Reboot
This is by far the easiest option and the module is updated fairly often.
Manual:
1. Delete or uninstall any previous release of Youtube. If you installed it as a system app, disable it or delete the /system/app/YouTube folder. If you had to delete the folder, reboot.
2. Download the Youtube apk
3. Make a folder called YouTube (watch the caps!)
4. Move the apk to this folder and rename it as YouTube (again with the caps)
5. Copy/move the folder to /system/app (The directory should look like this: /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk)
6. Reboot
Magisk (manual):
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. Since we're installing from Magisk, you'll need to set MAGINSTALL to YES (MAGINSTALL="YES"). I usually also enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Open Magisk Manager, go to Modules and press the + button. Now select the universal installer zip and flash it in Magisk.
4. Reboot
Recovery method:
Same as for Magisk, but MAGINSTALL is set to NO (MAGINSTALL="NO"). In case you didn't read the Magisk method, here is the recovery method...
1. Download the Youtube apk, the iYTBP universal installer and the use_this_settings.sh file. Check that they are in the downloads folder.
2. Edit the use_this_settings.sh file if you want. I usually enable detach (DETACH="YES"). This will make the Play Store think Youtube isn't installed and it will not bug you for updates.
3. Reboot to recovery, go to Install and choose the universal installer zip, flash it.
4. Reboot
If you open a video in fullscreen mode and press the home button, it should open it in PiP mode. If you want to change some advanced settings, you can go to your Account (the round icon with your profile picture) -> Settings -> iYTBP Settings
3. Goodix & FPC - What are they
Goodix and FPC are two different types of fingerprint sensors (or rather sensor manufacturers). They both work in Android 8.1 builds. Custom kernels or mods may break the fingerprint sensor functionality.
4. Rooting
tl;dr: rooting NitrogenOS is the same as rooting any other custom rom, just flash Magisk, SuperSU, phh's superuser or anything else.
Now for the extended version.
Magisk:
Magisk is a great open-source root manager, developed by topjohnwu. It features a feature rich app, but most people prefer it because of it's "modules", packages which can do a bunch of things, from installing apps like Viper4AndroidFX or Dolby Atmos, to modifying system settings, like the volume steps increase. Magisk also features an option called "Magisk Hide", which can bypass Android's SafetyNet.
Check out the Magisk thread.
You can directly download the latest version of Magisk from https://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
SuperSU:
SuperSU is an alternative root manager. It used to be developed by Chainfire, but has recently been purchased by another company. I still prefer Magisk, but SuperSU is a great alternative for new users. My problem with it though is, that it is not open-source and the new buyer is pretty secretive so I don't really trust them.
Check out the SuperSU website for the download link.
phh's SuperUser:
Another open-source root manager, but the great thing about this one is, that it's very minimalistic and very small in size.
Check out the SuperUser thread and phh's Build Bot.
5. Google Apps (gapps)
Google apps are a vital part of custom roms. You might not know this, but AOSP and CM based roms are made from Google source code. Google actually makes Android open-source, but the Play Store and other Google apps are not. That's why roms like NitrogenOS do not come with the Play Store preinstalled. That is where Open Gapps come in. They are prepackaged apps, updated almost daily. They come in various sizes and versions, but they can all be flashed in TWRP like a normal zip file.
Platform: arm/arm64/x86/x86_64 - RN3 has an arm64 processor (Think of it as a 64-bit CPU for phones)
Android: 8.0/7.1/7.0... - This is the android version, NOS is Oreo based so choose 8.0 (Or 7.1 for Nougat) [Check below for OpenGapps 8.1]
Variant: This is where it gets complicated. There are a LOT of versions to choose from. For more in-depth resources check the OpenGapps' package comparison.
But OpenGapps are a lot more customisable, to the level where you can choose individual apps you want installed. The easiest way to do this, is to flash the Aroma package, which enables you to choose exactly which packages you want installed. Another option is to configure any of the selected packages using a gapps-config.txt file. You can learn more about that in the Advanced Features and Options section.
You can download daily builds for any Android version from https://opengapps.org/
6. TWRP (Recovery)
A recovery is a partition, used to flash files like ROMs, gapps and any other modifications. You do (in most cases) need an unlocked bootloader to use it. Unlocking your bootloader will not be described on this thread, as there are a lot of resources for our device.
Official TWRP - This is the official TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for our device
You can find the latest updates for TWRP on their website.
Red Wolf - This is a modified version of TWRP, my absolute favourite because of it's custom features.
Flashing TWRP:
If you don't have a custom recovery installed and you have unlocked your bootloader, then download the latest version of your preferred recovery and follow these steps:
1. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, or use sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot if you're on Linux.
2. Enable USB Debugging (Settings -> About phone -> Press "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options). You should find the Developer options in settings above "About Device". Find USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Connect your PC to the phone via a cable. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (which will open CMD) or Terminal on Linux and type this (same for both OSs): adb devices. Select "Always allow on this computer" and confirm access on your phone.
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot/bootloader (By holding Power and Vol-, releasing the power button after a vibration and holding the Vol- button until you see the Xiaomi mascot).
5. Type (In CMD/Terminal): fastboot devices, to confirm if the phone has been recognised, then fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
6. After it has succesfully finished, remove the cable and reboot directly to recovery (Power and Vol+, release power after vibration, but keep holding the Vol+ button until you see the TWRP or RedWolf logo).
If you do already have a custom recovery installed and just want to update it, flash the .img or .zip file in your already installed recovery and select "Reboot to recovery".
7. NOS asks me for a password after flashing?!!?!?
This is actually not NitrogenOS's fault, it's a byproduct of your previous rom, most often MIUI. What this means is, that your internal storage is encrypted and the only way to fix this, is to backup everything on your internal storage, which you can do by connecting your phone to your pc while in recovery. You should be able to access the phone's storage and move the files from there. If you for some reason can't do that, you can still put in an sdcard and copy the files to it in TWRP. Bottom line, backup the files and then go to "Wipe" and find the "Format data" button. You might see a "wipe data" button, but this is not the same. When you "wipe data" you are wiping your system, cache, dalvik cache and data partitions, but formatting data will format your internal partition as well and thus remove the encryption.
You can finally reflash NOS and gapps or whatever other modification you want.
8. Firmwares
Check out this link to download the latest firmware for our device.
What is firmware? - It's what connects hardware to software (don't confuse it with a kernel). It's what, for example, makes the camera work.
Do I really need firmware - Yes (but it's already installed, even after completely wiping the stock rom, since it's on separate partitions).
Do I need the most up-to-date firmware - Actually no, the only difference you will notice is in the signal and WiFi strength. If yours are good enough, you don't need to update, otherwise feel free to download the newest version from the link above.
What is emmc_appsboot.mbn? - It's a bootloader update. Bootloader or fastboot is the partition in which you have unlocked your bootloader and flashed the recovery. If you have officially unlocked your bootloader, then you can flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn, but if you have unofficially unlocked your bootloader, do not flash these files as they will re-lock it. But you can still flash the version without emmc_appsboot.mbn.
Kenzo? Kate? - Kate devices are the same as kenzo ones but are a little bigger.
Some comparisons:
Kenzo
Size: 150 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 164g
Kate
Size: 152 * 76 * 6.85 mm
Weight: 167g
Model numbers:
Kenzo: 2015116
Kate: 2015161
Kate devices are 32/3 GB, and some kenzo devices are as well (some are 16/2 GB), not really sure about this part.
Global stable or developer? - Most people use developer roms, but again, this is not the actual ROM, just the firmware extracted from the rom, it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
When do I need to flash firmware? - If you're coming from MIUI8 (or 9), then you probably have the newest firmware. In this case you don't need to flash it, because MIUI roms already have firmware included in the update. If you're coming from a CM or AOSP based rom you also probably don't have to flash it, but I suggest you update it just in case. If your signal is good enough though, there really is no need.
9. How to flash the rom
Flashing is pretty straight forward. Just go to the Install section of TWRP and flash it like any normal zip, nothing special.
If you're coming from MIUI, then the full procedure is this:
1. Unlock your bootloader (google it, useless explaining it here)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Make a full device backup (Nandroid backup)
4. Copy or move all important files from the internal storage to an sdcard or your pc
5. Format data, or in other words, wipe EVERYTHING (excluding external storage) - This will delete all your photos and anything else in internal storage
6. Flash the latest NOS "test" build (Oreo)
7. Flash gapps (I recommend opengapps.org, check above)
8. Reboot to system
10. OTA?
What is OTA? - OTA means Over The Air (Update)
Does NOS have OTA? - Actually yes and no, newer updates (from March 2018 on) do have partial OTA (it does check for updates and notify you, while also giving a direct download link to SourceForge, but you will have to manually flash every update in your recovery.
What about incremental updates? - Sorry, but no. You'll have to download full packages every time. If you have a bandwidth cap then just download an update every week or two, you can check the changelog to see if you think it's worth updating to.
11. Google Camera
If you're having problems with the official Google Camera or just want some added features then look no further than modded camera apps. Check out this thread by emime12, it's very frequently updated and features a lot of different camera mods, including Google Camera, MIUI Camera, MOTO Camera and many more.
Recommended settings:
3x3 Grid - For better photos
I usually disable "Save location" and "Camera sounds"
Model: Pixel XL (corr) - default
Config camera HDR+: NEXUS 6
HDR+ parameters: Default
Panorama resolution: High
Advanced: Enable both
Experimental: I usually leave this disabled but it's your choice.
Back camera video resolution: UHD 4K (30 fps)
In case your camera doesn't work check if you have these two files and delete them:
/System/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
and
/System/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
Credits go to: @emime12 and Njaiker.
You can find more info about problems and updates on emime12's thread.
Settings may differ a lot, so check emime12's recommended or just test until you find ones that work for you
12. RAM Management - Low free RAM
Android's RAM (Read Only Memory) management doesn't work like Windows'. Android manages RAM very well, "Free RAM is wasted RAM" is a very common expression on XDA. Android loads the first couple of apps into the RAM and priorities the open one. More used ram means more apps loaded in ram which means faster load times. Don't worry about it too much and just enjoy the fast loading speeds.
13. VoLTE?
VoLTE should work on Android 8.1. Magisk, Viper or any other mods may break it.
14. Custom kernels
While there are a lot of custom kernels, I suggest you stick with the stock one, as it is made specifically for NOS and thus it is the most stable. If you still want a custom kernel, you can try Radon or Agni but they might break VoLTE or your fingerprint sensor.
Agni XDA Thread - By psndna88
Radon XDA Thread - By Umang96
15. Daily driver or not?
Yes, NitrogenOS Oreo is very stable, definitely enough for a daily driver. It is the best Oreo rom for our device (in my opinion), as it offers just the right amount of customization and stability.
15. GPS
Some users have reported low accuracy, but you should be fine if you turn on High Accuracy mode and/or install Faster GPS.
Update: In recent updates GPS shouldn't be a problem anymore as xyyx has fixed it, but some users have still reported low accuracy.
16. Viper4Android FX
(There may be other ways, but I haven't tested them yet so I can't confirm if they work) By far the easiest way to install Viper4Android FX is using Magisk. There is Magisk module called ViPER4Android FX Materialized. Download and install that module from the Magisk repo, choose your preferred installation option (By pressing Vol+ or Vol- to select which version you want installed and if you want it materialized - for newest materialized version press Vol+ 2 times) and finally reboot. Try playing some music and open the Viper app. Turn on the "Master Power" switch and the "Playback Gain Control" (the easiest way to tell if it worked). If after a little time the volume increases, it means that Viper4Android FX works. If not, press the three dots and choose "Exit" (without turning off the master power or gain control). Now open the app again and it should work. You can also check that in the side menu under "Driver status", if it's enabled and processing, then everything works.
You may or may not have to exit and re-enter the app after reboot to enable processing (in my case I had to).
I would show you my recommended settings (as requested), but to be honest I only use:
Headset
Viper Bass (Natural bass, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB)
Viper Clarity (Natural, 6 dB)
Sometimes I use Field surround with default settings
Phone speakers
eXtra loud (Slight, 4x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
Bluetooth device
Playback gain control (Moderate, 6x max gain, -1.9 dB max output)
If I'm at a party with my bluetooth speaker I pump it up to Extreme and 8x max gain
Viper Bass (Natural, 40 HZ frequency, 8 dB), 17 dB for parties
Viper Clarity (Natural, 3.5 dB)
I don't use equalizers or if I do, they are song-specific. I also don't USB/Dock, so I can't recommend anything there.
Of course these settings can vary depending on the song, so choose those, which you like the most and don't stick with just those I chose, try all the functions to see which you prefer.
17. AdAway (Root)
AdAway is a great open-source root ad blocker, which can automatically download and update sources and works by adding those to the hosts file. It work well on the internet, but also inside apps (most of the time).
Check out the official AdAway website. You can also download it from F-Droid.
Adaway v3.2 (60) (direct download link)
Adding custom host sources:
Go to "Host sources" and add your own sources or check out these: AdAway's host sources
Be careful when adding all of them, since some can block legitimate links like goo.gl.
AdAway also offers an option to scan for Adware, which can be found under "Scan for adware". This will bring up a new window, press "Start scanning". If you don't need/want the mentioned apps you can uninstall them, but AdAway can't block their ads.
You can also check out my recommended settings:
wow,really appreciated that sir., it is very helpful specially for those who wanted to try, flashing rom or any mods on their device like me. thanks and keep up the good work sir God bless!
i think i can add up little bit here.
1) u r on miui & u want to flash nitrogen so u go to recovery and backup ur current rom in case if u dont like nitrogen u can restore back to miui with all ur setting & app. now assume u r on nitrogen, after 4-5 days u dont like nitroge & u decided to come back to miui, so u go to recovery and restore yr backup that u have taken earlier. after success booting the screen with pin or password will appear. so u would enter/guess any previous password, pin u used earlier but it will not open. here the real problem come. i have also faced same issue & got upset searching endless solution on google . u will get mad on u. security bypass will also not work. after spending endless hour i come with solution. download aroma zip search on net. flash it through recovery this will help u to get in system its ike file manager. then head to data, system and delete all file u see below
locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal, gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key
and then restart, yr problem would be solve.
2) nitrogen os does not support video calling via jio. none custom rom other then then miui support.
3)xposed is not available for oreo.
4)i have used nitrogen oreo for about 2 weeks it is stable but not as miui. some time r net would not work, jio call drop, lagging u have to restart on every time u faced problem. i suggest that wait for some time to roll out nought port for kenzo with zero bug & this will happen soon.

Plz edit it in the description. I hav been using nos since many time so with experience i am giving my feedback. Thanks?
@saifuk what kind of nougat port u are expecting of ?

I haven't rooted my phone, VoLTE still not working.
---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------
@justmerazem Change VoLTE point again to previous. I installed NOS on mine & my other two friends' phone. They've not used magisk or superSU nor me. But VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd Sim for us.

Mate, I'm already on 7.9.22 firmware. Lots of people are reporting it. Yours is working, must be some kind of random.
@Aditya1011 Mate, what happened? No reply? Huh. Latest firmware. No magisk, no any kind of root. No sound mod. Still Volte not working on 2nd Sim on 3 different Kenzos.
@JustMeErazem Please include in your post that VoLTE is indeed buggy.

I don't think dual boot patcher supports oreo roms. Try asking on their thread to see if it does.

Sim card detection issue
Sometimes nitrogen os Oreo does not detect sim cards after reboot so I changed ROM and installed aosp extended. I know that Xyyx has already mentioned this as bug. Due to this bug it is not daily driver. Hope xyyx will fix this as soon as possible. If you have solution, please share it.

Dude, it's really not a big problem, it detects it like 95% of the time. Just reboot and you're done. Or wait about 2 min and it should detect it. You could also just remove the sim and reinsert it. But since the latest few updates for me it gets detected 100% of the time. So update to 28/10/2017 build and you should be fine.
@JustMeErazem You're giving flase info. to others saying that VoLTE works on both sim. Actually, it works only on first sim. Tried, tested on 3 different Kenzo's. Clean flashed.
Conclusion: VoLTE doesn't work on 2nd sim.
