So I'm thinking about getting a S8/S8+ but Xposed plays a important role for me. Is Xposed available if not can we expect it? And how long would we have to wait for it?
I'm waiting for Xposed as well. Had it from the beginning with S7.
However, I'm not waiting for it to be available on the S8 - got the phone regardless.
Will "root" once Xposed is available, otherwise I'm happy with no root for the time being.
Don't waste time waiting. Get the phone now and enjoy it while waiting for Xposed

I'm sure the S8 is great but honestly can't imagine using a device without Xposed! I really need to have it. I guess I'll stick with my Note 7 till it's ready for nougat. I mean no harm in waiting since it's going to get cheaper anyways.
What is it that requires Xposed that you can't live without?
For me, "Flat Style Bar Indicators" is about thing only thing that I truly miss!

All of that can be done with mods. Xposed isn't necessary if they are things you never change. Flashing/installing mods is also much better on battery life as they don't require xposed running in the background

How? for example changing dpi per app and forcing to be immersive/fullscreen? Or blocking ads in the yt app? or enabling chrome pie controls?

I've yet to find a solution for most of these, but "tasker" and "autotools" combined can give you global emersive mode or per app emersive mode.
(I've got my web browser running emersive and I've got bixby button mapped to global emersive toggle)
Check out "adhell" to block "some" ads and join the beta program for a non rooted Samsung "substratum"
LMT gives you global pie controls.
The rest is a no go as far as I know.
The title of this thread reminds me of YouTube. Okay have a nice day. ?

Hey all,
Saw this post on Reddit. This would awesome and make the N6/9 experience that much better....If its true of course. Thoughts?
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2mqcpl/regarding_multiwindow_feature_for_the_nexus_6/
i believe you can use the xposed module multiwindow feature if you root your device.
There's no xposed on lollipop. It doesnt work with art.

I used this module on my N7 back on Kitkat and it didn't work very well. Most of the apps I tried crashed right away. Hope a native solution works better.
Yeah, it's pretty much inevitable that Google would implement this feature in the near future, given the size of their Nexus 6 phablet, in addition to all of their Nexus tablets. They can't let Samsung have all the glory.
Does anyone else think people are laughing at you everytime they type LOLlipop?

Has anyone else noticed this?

try Tilt Scroll is not the same but is good :good:
I don't understand how it worked for you! I have tried to see how that thing works (I know how it should) in broad daylight under direct sunlight, but I could never make it work! Not only that, Smart Pause, Smart Stay, none of them worked! I was sure that something is wrong with my eyes, maybe people need to have some different kind of eyes, but then I asked at least a dozen of my friend to try to make it work, they all failed, I sighed knowing I have human eyes. Since then I hated any Smart features, and I am so happy that Lollipop doesn't have most of them.

You don't need xposed for no ad youtube. To be realistic, I think development for xposed has stopped. There are alternatives. I thought I couldn't do without xposed.

YouTube ad free. There are also alternatives to other xposed modules. Depends on what you want. I used gravity box, xblast tools, fast scrolling, screen off, xui mod to mention a few. Mostly visual tweaks. Some can be found, others no. Just have to move on.

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.
Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!
This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.
Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!
Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go
Can't find it in my Galaxy store. Can someone share the APK?

I actually like the fact that you can add it. I wish the whole Samsung UX was like that. If Samsung came with just stock android and you could pick and choose features you want to add. It would be freaking magical. ?

You can search xda for badlock, its an app that has all of goodlock's sub apps wich enables ypu to run goodlock on the phone. A simple youtube or google search will be sufficient

Have you tried using Aptoid? It's an alternate app store. I see it has Good Lock 2018 too.
For region-locked people, Bad Lock 2018 is your friend.

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.

Sometimes it's just easier with Aptoid. Download get the app you want. Uninstall. Apk mirror is also a great option. Thanks for sharing.

Samsung Task changer

One hand operation
Samsung Quickstar
Edge touch
Edge lighting +

Yes battery works nicely than any other firmware,if you optimized apps well.
Yeah, it certainly may last for more than a week in always-on-mode. I've never seen a phone like this;; looks far better optimized than Xiaomi's. Great! :good:

Yeah, what I meant by always-on-mode is extremely power-saving mode, the blank screen except a clock maybe. No processors on-going background is still not enough for most of the smart phones to last for couple of days. So pls don't feel sarcastic. :victory: Maybe I am talking too much on your forum???

You can uninstall most of app from flyme from settings. Some of them that we can count in fingers can be moved to a folder and never open it in future. Or else you can unistall those apps with root.

What did you do? Because, if you root the phone, you lose OTA updates, if you choose to put those remaining apps in a folder, can we freeze/stop them so they cannot work in background without using an app?
