Your Top 5 Xperia Z1 Tips & Tricks - Xperia Z1 General

1. Close all function
Easily closes all open tabs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614356
2. Activate Bass on Loudspeaker
I like it because it sounds like a ****ty old phone. Use it alongside Viper4android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/mod-activate-bass-loud-speaker-t2817549
or if you want nice stereo sound
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/true-real-stereo-sound-earpiece-t2822691
3. Easy Touch
On google play - One of the better things to come from Apple. I use this to lockscreen mostly.
4. A few things from Xposed Installer
20 MP Superior Auto - Choose your camera resolution
advanced power menu - Adds reboot & recovery to the power button options
ColorClockChanger - The clock will change color when connected to the internet. I use this and remove Wifi/internet data buttons with SB Icon Hider (also on Xposed).
Instagram Downloader - Downloads instagram pics $$
Notifyclean - Remove annoying notifications
Statusbar Volume - Make a pretty Statusbar (although it doesn't work properly with headphones unfortunately - I hope they fix it)
VolumeSteps+ - Choose how many steps your sound can change by
Xclip - Saves everything you previously copied and pasted.. so you can paste or find old text you copied.
5. Screen Recorder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/xperia-z3-screen-recorder-z1-t2900104
Tell me what's good for you. I'd also like to know the best camera app out there too or maybe the best themes as I don't use any...

From Xposed i would say:
1. Xperia Flip Settings
2. SERAJ Xposed Module
3. SystemUI Patcher
4. Flat Style Colored Bars
5. AppOps
and lots of more !

1- Youtube Adaway (xposed)
2- AdAway (google it)
3- Swiftkey
4- serajr xperia KK (xposed)
5- Xperia themes from play store (summertime, sunset, egypt, blue note, azuro, coffee)

My top 4:
Viper

What are your favorite Xposed modules?

Hi everyone, I am not new to smartphones but I am new to Verizon and the Galaxy S5. I had it rooted and Xposed loaded about ten minutes after getting the phone. What are the best/most useful modules you use? I have had some hits and misses so far.
Greenify is always a must. I tried Wanam with mixed results. I could not modify the battery icon in the status bar. Xblast did the trick. I also tried Unbounced Xposed, but it appeared to crush my battery rather than helping. It went from 90% to dead in less than an hour. I am not saying it is a bad app, but that it didn't do what I expected. Experiences can differ from phone to phone or maybe I just did not use it properly.
Anyway, what is everyone using with Xposed?
PS. Go Kansas City Royals!
Here is what I'm running:
ActivityForceNewTask - Link
Blurred System UI - Link
Disable Clear Defaults Dialog - Link
X Tether (Moto Tether) - Link
No Lock Home - Link
Samsung Data Connection Icon fix - Link
Smooth System Progress Bar - Link
Unbounce - Link
Wanam Xposed - Link
Xposed Recent Tasks RAM - Link
YouTube AdAway - Link
I installed Wanam for first time yesterday. After installation and reboot, my power button would no longer bring up the phone options menu (to reboot/airplane/power off) which was frustrating, but I fixed it by enabling the '4 way reboot menu' in wanam's system configuration.
other than that, I have :
galaxy s5 lockscreen widgets - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.elesbb.galaxys5widgets (enables widgets)
notifyclean - enables customization of what notifications you want - http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.defim.apk.notifyclean

xposed for lollipop

As some of you may or may not know Xposed for Lollipop has been released in alpha stage.
Now many of us have thought that we might never see Xposed run on ART. I will link to the thread for easy access.
Now while I do not mind being a one man army to try and sift through all the modules to see what currently works on our devices and what others don't, the task would be a lot easier if everyone could put their own input in.
I will be back with my own list later tonight but in the meantime feel free to start listing your finds.

[TWRP] Xposed modules that work with Fire HD :

Update: this discussion is for FireOS 4.5.x, for 5.2.x look elsewhere.
Important: Before trying any of this, please make sure that you have 4.5.3 bootloader and TWRP installed on your device. This way you can always recover by going to TWRP, and re-installing the system. On the other hand, if you use a bit of common sense with Xposed, then a re-install is unlikely. I've tried a few things, and have not had to re-install (yet)
For the record, I am running 4.5.4 with root, installed via these instructions (and these are the same instructions to re-install the system if you screw up!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-4-5-4-twrp-root-t3141648
But I don't see why this should not work on 4.5.3 as well.
My Xposed version is 2.6.1, and these are the modules that I've tried :
App Settings - works (this lets you change DPI and language settings on per app basis)
BootManager - works, helps to manage the apps that start on boot
GravityBox [KK] - works, but does not seem to do much
Greenify - worse than does not work !!! This makes Fire HD erratic, lots of reboots upon wake, and even if I enable/disable the module, it's still flaky, so I had to delete the app folder /data/data/com.oasisfeng.greenify to get the regular Greenify to work properly again (and make the tablet stable again) Note that the regular Greenify works fine (just its Xposed module does not work).
KindleLockBG - works, let's you set wallpaper to whatever you want
(credit to DoLooper : http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-wallpaper-custom-launcher-t3123009 )
MinMinGuard - works, this apps blocks ads on per app basis
Wanam Kit - works, but does not do much
YouTube AdAway - works, and a must have, if you give the tablet to kids to watch Youtube, this removes the annoying ads before the Youtube clip starts
If you test something else, please add it to the thread.
Running 4.5.4, but used all on original list with 4.5.3 since we got root.
[EDIT] BTW, you don't need TWRP to install Xposed. Download the apk, v 2.6.1 (not 2.7) from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
[EDIT] Additions:
Screenshot Delay Remover: Instant screenshot with power + volume-down
Original list:
Xtended NavBar: Doesn't work.
KindleUpdatesOff (by Gran PC): Disables OTA updates (in some way other than by blocking otaverifier). Not sure how it works, but it kept me safe through multiple updates on KFSOWI and now on Fire HD.
Xtoast: Specify a bunch of things about toast messages (SU permission msgs, e.g.), including size and duration
GravityBox [KK]: If you're into messing with appearance of UI, this is a great way to waste an afternoon. Here are some things that work on the Fire:
status bar:
change color of bar, clock, wireless icon
add battery icon (can then turn off battery text in Fire settings)
hide clock, center clock, add day of week
double-tap to turn off screen​
notification drawer: change color, transparency
navigation bar and keys:
adjust bar height (personal favorite)
enable/disable: Good if you use pie controls. Needed for ultimate dynamic navbar.
change color
assign actions for long press and double-tap on keys. (to quickly switch between 2 running apps, e.g)
add cursor control (appears when keyboard displayed. Only good for a chuckle)​
lockscreen: Hide clock in status bar (since lockscreen already has clock)
pie controls: hidden navbar appears by swiping from edge of screen
expanded desktop (if your launcher doesn't already support it): Let's you hide/pull down status and navbars
media/audio: various options I never tested
screen off effect: make screen turn off like 1950s TV (also, just for a chuckle )
Anyone tested Amplify with Fire HD and Xposed ?
The OP mentions that Greenify didn't work so I'm a bit wary of enabling the Amplify module....
I'm on 4.5.5., so even worst case bootloops shouldn't be an issue, right ?

So what's the result, did Amplify work ? Bootloop is unlikely, and at worst you'll go into TWRP, and start with a fresh 4.5.5
Yeah sorry, haven't been feeling adventurous recently.

Tried some modules.. thanks. But screen filter is not working, it says that the module is not activated. Would really love to use the screen folter, do you know why it is not working on my p9 lite?
i think with the xposed modules is good to say what framework is used e.g. i have xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam and it works fine with :
Flat Style Bar Indicators
youtubeadaway
GravityBox ( just test it , uninsalled)
XInternalSD

is there a mod that would allow me to pull down notification bar on lockscreen to toggle on/off flashlight??
Gotta ask, cause I'm running older xposed framework 3.0 alpha with MM and gravity box isn't working (or xui mod, see below), but phone is STABLE! I downloaded newer framework, but after reading some xposed problems (bootloops, lags) people are having, and warning on xposed download itself, I'm real iffy about upgrading framework to 3.1.2.
So I'd ask what framework version you all are using.
My working mods:
Amplify (just now trying it out; it's impressive that dev lets you KO the worst offenders so he'll probably get a cuppa joe from me)
Greenify (Pro version; love how Wakelock Detector integrates Greenify for the problem children)
CoolTool (just the battery's temp in statusbar; cool joystick in settings to place temp wherever you want)
DoubleTapToSleep (double tap status bar; I'm an addict)
Minminguard (I also use Adaway and keep it updated, but mmg gets rid of remnants of ads; love it)
NoOverlayWarning NGL I was close to CURB-STOMPING "new" Note4 when I found this awesome mod. Hello! GET IT! No problems here!!!
YouTube Adaway (I use OGYouTube but can't sign in and get to faves with it; I think there's an update though.)
Fail modules for me
xui mod (to get my animated battery and batt charging status bar line; oh I MISS THIS! But I don't think it works well on MM? ANY workaround ideas would be greatly appreciated; mod isn't being actively devved anymore)
gravity box (partial fail — what fails just doesn't work though, it doesn't cause stability probs. But I'm not a fan of gravity box mostly because it loads settings so you don't have to reboot, and really all I wanted was a batt charging status bar like xui mod, but none of the GB status bar stuff works.) Will probably ditch.
Any ideas for batt charging status bar line? I miss that so much!
