[XPOSED] Modules working on Nokia X2ds Stock rom

Here I am giving a list of working Xposed Modules in Nokia X2ds stock rom that I use everyday. I cant include all because I haven't tested all of them. So, plz add the Modules you tested in this thread. Also State the working features and workarounds. Hope it will be useful to everyone.
1. AlternateAppPicker: ICS-style default app chooser for JB
this is must have, you wont have to double touch to select an app.
link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/pk.qwerty12.alternateapppicker
2. Boot Manager
link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.defim.apk.bootmanager
3. Greenify
Note: Use donation package for xposed features.
link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
4. Intelli3G (intelligently manages your 3g connection)
Note: you have to go to options and enable Motorola duel sim support to make it working.
link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
5. MinMinguard (Ads remover)
link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/tw.fatminmin.xposed.minminguard
6. Native Clipboard (adds system wide clips manager)

Best ROM for klte

I have a question about the features and stability of ROMs for the SM-G900F (klte). I am using CM13 right now. I am very satisfied with this ROM, but after a bit of research about (for example) Resurrection Remix I am not sure if CM provides the best set of features.
So my question is:
Are there any advantages of RR that I can not achieve with Xposed Modules such as GravityBox etc. ?
Or are there any other AOSP based ROMs with CM theming engine support that you can recommend?
(before someone may tell me I should use Google: I did, but I did not find a good summary about this)
Why don't you use DualBoot Patcher and try it out yourself! it's easy, just install the app, grant SU perms, click on the menu button next to the primary rom, update ramdisk and follow instructions, patch the ROM zip (from the app too) to secondary (most likely you would still have enough space left on /system, check Free Space section on the app) or any data-partition ID, install it using TWRP/CWM or DIRECTLY from the app too with no reboot! Patch Gapps (and ANY flashable zip you want to install to that ROM) too (to whatever partition type you chosen for its system) if you want to - optional -, go back to ROMs section, select the new ROM, reboot, test it, install the DualBoot Patcher app there too. Now you just have to select the ROM icon you want to switch to, reboot and it's done

Thanks for the hint.
Stick with RR MM
I've just begun my developer journey recently and I've been using a Note II up until yesterday..now I use my newer S5 klte and I must admit..there are a few extra ROMs with this and that..I've come across a few mm roms and the "N" roms... But all in all I am almost committed to Resurrection Remix builds as they are stable..I haven't had a FC yet and I've been using RR MM builds as my daily driver on ALL my Galaxy phones for about three months now...I don't use anything but Pico Gapps for Bloatware reasons but RR has NOT ONCE let me down.
But I would like to help by saying Tesla Roms on G+ is good...TeamOctOs has just come out with R3 ROM..which has the Nexus Launcher..not bad..BlissRoms...there are more but I am just a beginner and I would rather explore Stable Builds. I hope I provided some useful info for you. Good Flashing!!

Viper4Android Pixel 2 XL stereo speaker optimization profile (Android Q working)

Updated: OP contains instructions for Android Pie and below, post #5 has current instructions for Android Q.
Saw a couple Viper4Android threads, did not see much in terms of profiles for the 2 XL specifically. Just got the 2 XL coming from a 6P and there was a great profile to optimize it's internal speakers so decided to try out the mod for the 2 XL's speakers. Working very nicely.
Not sure if this will work with every ROM but works nice on Bootleggers (should work on any Pie ROM including stock) and thought I would share so more people could enjoy much improved sound quality. Makes rooting the phone well worth it.
Instructions:
After installing Magisk 18.1
Install BusyBox and run the set-up
Download the Viper4Android V4.1 (used Material theme) via Magisk manager
run the install process, select 2.5.0.4 material theme, install as system app, grand root access then reboot
Load the DorianX profile taken from the 6P. Just unzip then look over the extracted files.
Edited to explain further: You will probably need to individually place the "SRS Audio HD" IRS file in the Viper4Android Kernel folder and put the Profile folder in the Viper4Android Profile folder (using a file explorer to copy/paste the files). Once that's done, in the Viper4Android app under "Convolver", tap it and choose "impulse response file", You should see the "SRS Audio HD" IRS file that you placed in the Kernel folder, select it, tick the box next to Convolver to enable it. Under the main app settings you should be able to select and load the profile. If you did it correctly the DorianX profile folder should be visible to select it. It depends which version of Viper4Android you install. If you do materialized (2.5.0.4) the above should work. Let me know if any problems
Play some music. Toggle Viper4Android master power on and off under the phone speaker tab within the app then back to on once to enable it. Usually you have to do this to "officially" enable Viper4Android. If it's working you will hear the difference. Under the app settings you can verify that the app is processing as well under "driver status". Working with the latest Poweramp, Youtube, etc.
Credit to DorianX who made the profile. There are 4 profiles included to optimize specific bluetooth devices, headphones,etc but just using the internal speaker one (for now). Unable to locate the past post in the 6P forum containing the profile and which other devices were optimized to link to it.
Works very well and thought it was worth posting and making a small contribution so for now enjoy! Profile attached.
Have Viper4Android working nicely on Android Q Beta 4.
Those that downloaded this profile if you don't mind posting the Dorian profile speaker settings (all of them for each tab and whether enabled or disabled) would appreciate it. Profiles no longer can be loaded in this version of Viper.
Looking at the speaker xml file can see some of the settings but probably not all.
Magisk 19.3, Adaway works, viper now works all on today's beta 4. Tried all versions and combos. Getting the driver to install and stick was a big pain.Can post some instructions if anyone is interested. I'm sure plenty of people would like to get viper working.
Now if only Google apps like Gmail and Google play would be themed. Can see the force dark toggle is broken in this beta. Not sure if the Google apps were theming in Beta 3 or not.

See below
Ok I got it. No need to PM me the profile. Took most of the night but done now.
Would be unable to stay on Q without Viper4Android as well...
Make sure to uninstall all previous versions of Magisk and modules to start fresh.
Install Magisk 19.3 via twrp, install latest Magisk manager and then Busybox (make sure to set up busybox). Some are having problems with this Beta and Magisk so YMMV. Working well for me and no app lag.
On Pie in Magisk you should see Viper4Android 2.7.1 module as available
On Q it's not listed (for me at least) so get it from XDA labs.
Install Viper4Android:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/download/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx (link to direct download, must be signed in)
Or use this link: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pittvandewitt.viperfx
The installer will install it as a magisk module. Grant supersu permissions, install driver, phone will reboot.
Install the magisk audio modifications library module. Reboot. After rebooting disable this module (do not uninstall). Reboot again.
Open up Viper4Android. If it asks you to install driver again do so and phone will automatically reboot. Repeat if needed. If driver install remains unsuccessful try enabling and disabling the audio modifications module then try again. What worked for some worked the opposite for others in past threads on previous Android versions and various devices. Here is the thread for reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/viper4android-driver-installation-fails-t3766362
Once driver is installed the app will load properly and under driver status it will probably say "unsupported" and "abnormal". Close the app
Go back into Magisk manager. Now toggle to re enable the audio modifications module. Reboot. (This is the module that allows Viper4Android to process and can help to install the driver)
Upon reboot, Viper4Android should work. Play some music, check the driver status to verify, you may need to toggle off/on master limiter to finally enable it.
For this profile, put the SRS file in OP above in the Viper4Android Kernel folder. Under the apps speaker tab manually input these settings:
Master limiter: On
Playback gain: moderate or 2, max gain 4x, output threshold -1.9db
FIR Equalizer: On. EQ is flat
Convolver: On. Tap convolver then select the SRS inpulse file you placed in the Kernel folder. Cross channel set to 0
Profit.
You can set or disable the viper4android notification icon in the statusbar within the app's settings.
Let me know how the 2 XL's speakers sound Post updated, instructions should be clear enough. Some having problems will need to wait for the updated Magisk. Moving forward, we do have viper4android working on Q. Fully tested on my 2xl and stable with beta 4.
Thanks to @Team_DeWitt
And Dorianx for his profile originally created for the 6p

Our 2 XL's can be temperamental, lol.
Glad you got it working. Not sure how the driver installed and the viper app fixed itself with the audio modifications module switched off. It's like you didn't need that module at all. Whatever works.
Just happy we have viper for Q. Played games, music, youtube and running stable here.

Go back into Magisk manager. Now toggle to re enable the audio modifications module. Reboot. (This is the module that allows Viper4Android to process and can help to install the driver)
Upon reboot, Viper4Android should work. Play some music, check the driver status to verify, you may need to toggle off/on master limiter to finally enable it.
For this profile, put the SRS file in OP above in the Viper4Android Kernel folder. Under the apps speaker tab manually input these settings:
Master limiter: On
Playback gain: moderate or 2, max gain 4x, output threshold -1.9db
FIR Equalizer: On. EQ is flat
Convolver: On. Tap convolver then select the SRS inpulse file you placed in the Kernel folder. Cross channel set to 0
Profit.
You can set or disable the viper4android notification icon in the statusbar within the app's settings.
Let me know how the 2 XL's speakers sound Post updated, instructions should be clear enough. Some having problems will need to wait for the updated Magisk. Moving forward, we do have viper4android working on Q. Fully tested on my 2xl and stable with beta 4.
Thanks to @Team_DeWitt
And Dorianx for his profile originally created for the 6p

Good stuff. To anyone else installing viper just to note if you click on driver and see it as processing = no this does not mean you did anything or the install went wrong. Play a video or music, driver should show as processing yes. When nothing is playing then processing will be no.
Does this enable dual speaker for calls/message alerts?
How did you guys get magisk working on Q beta 4? For me it makes systemui not start on boot and it skips the lock screen entirely. And if it does boot normally, apps take over 10 seconds to launch. I have tried to wipe system data cache and then ran the flash-all bat and still have the issue. A lot of others have the issue on the magisk canary thread. Some don't have it. Someone suggested after a full wipe with -w it fixed it.

Looks like I found a solution that is working for several members (and it was purely by accident because installing Magisk threw an error). Uninstall Magisk in TWRP first then:

It's not working for me. I had to reboot about 4 times because systemui wasn't starting up and I was getting a black wallpaper with no status or nav bar. Finally rebooted normally and at times apps refuse to open but it's slightly better than it was. This is just so weird. Do I really need to wipe my phone or is it magisks fault?

Someone in the Android Q discussion thread might be able to help better. Google pulled the beta so it's tough to say whether in your case it's a magisk or android issue. Or both.
I love this post for real, I have a Pixel 3 with Android P, viper v2.7.1.
I had to port the userprofile to the new version, if someone want it, PM me

Feel free to post it as well. Curious how you were able to port the profile. Looked everywhere but couldn't find any info to convert the old profile to the new preset format.

Yes it did the same for me. The first time, almost forgot. I did not find the sound to be the same, not even close. Ultimately I still had my Nexus 6p and was able to retrieve the settings and input them manually. Then the sound was as it should be.
Do you find the sound identical with the ported profiles? It might be hit and miss.

FLOSSbOxIN - A Customized Stock ROM

FLOSSbOxIN - Since 2016, I am a non-foogle person, nor do I have shucksfook, or anything of those stuffs. I was on Telegram and used to run the flossboxin channel, but left the application due to too much of spam and useless stuffs, and moreover, privacy issues tbvh. Now my XMPP channel is named FLOSSbOxIN too. I recently lost my M30, however, I have been for quiet sometime trying to get this M30 debloated to a level where knox also does not trip, nor where one will have to face the unnecessary Samsung bloatware and annoying analytics. Finally, I have made it to that level, after several permutation combinations.
Code:
[B]FLOSSbOxIN M305F Debloated FOSS/FLOSS Stock ROM[/B]
Released: [B]20200925[/B]
Patch Level: September 01, 2020
Build Date: [B]20200926[/B]
Base Version: Android 10
Build #: QP1A.190711.020.M305FDDS6CTI1
Kernel: [I]4.4.177-19407255[/I]
UI Core: [U]One UI 2.0[/U]
Links:
M30 Database -- AFH
DM-Verity -- AFH
FLOSSbOxIN - ROM -- Cloud - Direct Link
Odin V3.14.4 -- AFH
TWRP 3.4.0-0 -- AFH
Magisk Canary -- AFH
Installation Guide (Only For Bootloader UL On Q/10)
Download ROM from the links given.
Boot to recovery (stock/TWRP) (Guide Link)
Code:
adb reboot download
You will have to format data, as the ROM is decrypted, and coming from an encrypted ROM will give issues. For decrypting, do a "format data" in TWRP Recovery and then reboot to recovery and Wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System, Data, Hidden, Internal
Copy over ROM OS & DM-Verity file (do not rename DM-Verity file, keep as is)
Flash ROM - Would take around 10 minutes time for it to flash
Go to wipe, and wipe /hidden
Flash DM-Verity file
Reboot - should take around 5-6 minutes
Notes:
I have removed the setup wizard altogether
Post system starts, wait 5-10 minutes, as system tries to integrate system apps, which are newly introduced
Only necessary foogle stuff is kept, including Maps+Location, GSF & Play Services and all other foogle stuffs is removed
Somehow, even after removing the notorious HIYA (so called caller id and spam protection service), it somehow comes back with a valid internet/mobile data connection. If you wish to remove it again, boot to TWRP, mount /system and then delete the hiya service folder and clear dalvik/cache, and reboot
If any app has permission issue, then reinstall as "user" app (install again manually), and reboot sysui. Should work post that, as sometime, few apps are by default not allowed system changes by Samsung framework, and to add each app to framework is a bigggg task, and very irritating too
Still if any app (e.g., AnysoftKeyboard (see git issue), then uninstall as system, and reinstall as user
Ensure minimal apps are made /system, as they can be harmful
Features:
Fully debloated
Fully stock
Smoother, faster and has long battery run
Foogle & Samsung stupidity free
FLOSS apps included:
Aurora Droid, Aurora Store
F-Droid Classic - Classic variant by bubu
F-Droid Privilege (if you ever install F-Droid main app)
Bromite Webview is default
UngoogledChromium is the default browser
FreeOTP+ is your FLOSS 2FA companion
K9 Mail is the default FOSS email
KeePassDX for auto-login and enhanced privacy
Notification Log allows you to view several logs, once usage access is granted, and is fully FLOSS
QKSMS replaces Samsung Messaging app
Power App allows you to reboot to various modes - sysui, recovery, bootloader....
Vinyl is your music buddy
Dual-Mod for audio included
Screen capture (image & video) feature added
Data transmit (Up/Down) in status bar added (thanks Akhil)
Various camera tweaks (FOSS - OpenCamera is not included)
My hosts file is included, which enhances privacy by blocking various trackers and ads - URL
Hosts editor also included
GPS fast locking in closed areas - debug included for it
USB debug revoke option added to Dev mode
initd support added
Shutdown thread log enabled

Okay mate.
Few ways to do it.
1. By installing rooted AP with TWRP already included:->
Install September stock Firmware from my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m30/development/rom-t4167497
Use that to flash the September FW. Use ODIN via windows, and use the file: AP ROOTED WITH TWRP RECOVERY. Flash only AP. CP is optional. Follow the steps there. Ensure to flash DMVERITY.
This is one way...
Another way:
2. Flash stock ROM. Connect to wifi/mobile data and setup. Change the time to say 7 days prior to today. Wait 30 minutes and boot to download mode via the following method:: switch off. Press Vol+/- together and connect to laptop/pc via usb. Ensure usb debugging is ON and then perform. Now you are in download mode. Flash TWRP.tar file from AP. All checkboxes should be unticked. Once flashed successfully, press vol- and power button for 7-8 seconds and let go off vol- upon haptic feedback and press vol+ to enter to twrp recovery. You can let go of the buttons once twrp shows up.
Now format data and reboot to twrp again. Mount data and /system and if OS is installed boot to system, else flash a ROM of your choice.
3rd way:
3. Download FLOSSbOxIN (FLOSS/Google variant available). Extract to any desktop folder. Now open 7Zip and make a zip file with all the .img files. Choose .tar (available from 7Zip dropdown as well) and rename the tar file to say rom.tar.
Once done flash this one via AP. Ensure all checkboxes are unchecked. Reboot to TWRP following the steps in method 2 above. Format data, boot to twrp, flash dm-verity and boot to system. You can wipe cache/dalvik and /hidden if you want. Will take around 10 minutes to boot. Dont forget to boot to twrp first and flash dmverity, else you will end in bootloop.
Note: With Samsung, in case you forget to flash DMVerity, and by mistake clicked boot to system, do not worry. Switch off, or reboot to twrp and mount /system and flash. Wipe dalvik and cache, reboot. Done.

@vdbhb59 THANK YOU SO MUCH ,SIR.I was about to sell the phone coz TWRP could not be booted.
Finally,TWRP is booted huge thanks to you.Procedure 2 did not work(bootloop) and Procedure 3 gave me .binary error in odin(maybe i messed up in some steps).But Procedure 1 was easiest and foolproof & it booted TWRP in first try without any bootloops.
Now coming to Floss ROM(Vanilla).It was simple,clean and elegant and performance is good as well.I have not checked the battery life with this ROM but i hope it gives me more than standard battery life.Will be checking other ROMS as well-Lineage,Bliss,Turbo etc. and will be settling once i find ROM suitable for me.
Again thank you DEV for guiding me,giving me your time and most importantly contributing to this community !!

Anytime mate. Actually all the 3 ways I mentioned, do work. Probably, some trouble while flashing. However, no worries, I am glad you were able to boot to TWRP and flash a bloat free OS. Enjoy mate, and happy riding.
Battery life is around 1.5-2 days basis your usage. At times more, touching 3.5 days too. Again, the logic basis is always usage and background stuff.
Bliss does not boot for all, LOS does though.
BTW, which FLOSSbOxIN variant did you try? Google one will eat more battery obviously, against FLOSS one.
FLOSS(Vanilla)-[without google] review
Everything is good with the ROM but some problems i faced could be solved by following procedures:
1.If some apps does not work/launch as expected then "UNINSTALL AS SYSTEM" then REINSTALL it or INSTALL APP OF YOUR CHOICE.For eg:Vinyl player.
2.If AURORA STORE does not download apps then first give permission to Aurora Services and then rerun Store.Otherwise install GooglePlayStore manually once, update GMS and it will work.PS:You can delete PlayStore or disable if you want to.
Other than these everything is FINE.Would certainly recommend to try this ROM ?

Thanks for this mate. Though not bugs, but the app behaviour itself. The ROM itself does not have any bugs.
October release coming soon.
Dear Dev,
Thanks for the rom.
My 3 queries
1. Getting access denied on some files like magisk, odin, and m30 database.
2. Is there any aggresive battery saver or something alike in rom which switches off all functions except calling?
3. The download link to download google version is very slow and is showing close to 17 hours to download on 150 MBps connection.
Thanks and Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Actually, AFH is having some issues. I too am unable to view files at times. Magisk and ODIN are Public files anyways. You can navigate with androidfilehost then my user, which is vdbhb59.
Battery saver is there, Ultradata by Samsung itself. You can use any 3rd party app too.
Google version link is quick here. Showing 25 minutes at 80Mbps.
Update - 20201017
Hi All,
Update released for the new version.
N.B., the update by Samsung never was for October 2020 patches, and was only a con, as they moved the apps & priv-app between the 2 folders, and added a very big BUG along with several privacy issues.
When I reached out to them with the details, I was blocked, and my account was suspended.
I have stripped away every bit and piece of bloat and BUGS (afaic). Security patch is still September.
Also, the stock camera is now replaced with 2 open variants, and much better ones. With the latest update, while trying to remove Knox, and some resources, the stock Camera breaks up fully, and the hidl does not link, rendering the app useless.
Magisk Canary 20201017
20201017 - FLOSSbOxIN_Foogle_V2_20201017
20201017 - FLOSSbOxIN_V2.2_20201017
Difference between the 2 versions
Difference between the 2 versions -->
FLOSSbOxIN_Foogle_V2_20201017 - this version is a bit smaller compared to the version 2.2 below. Version 2.2 contains a few more privacy oriented apps, and XDA app as well inbuilt, along with OSMAnd+ and UNLP. I have retained GMS Core and Maps as OSMAnd does not cover many parts of Asia and Russia.
FLOSSbOxIN_V2.2_20201017 - this version contains the following:
SMS - QKSMS
Mail - K9 & pEp - both open source. Both more reliable then stock.
Clipboard - Added function for clipboard. Probably, some apps may not work with it. Ideally, it will come as an option with pop-ups.
Maps - GMaps, OSMAnd+, UNLP
Music - Odyssey & Vinyl
Video - MPV is a great tool. VLC somehow does not integrate with Samsung while building, so have not added it yet.
SimpleTools - Gallery & Calendar alongside stock ones. Do use the open source ones, as they are fully privacy oriented. Some folks like Samsung one, but it is filth filled, and I have taken huge time out to prepare these stuffs, so do try.
Camera - OpenCamera & FreeDCam have been added. I have been using these 2 since a long time, so, do use them too.
Browser - 2 variants of Ungoogled Chromium, Bromite Webview alongside Android Webview.
Terminal - Termus. Do install the relevant addons from F-Droid/AuroraDroid and enjoy.
Downloader - Download Navi is prebuilt.
Launcher - OpenLauncher is added too, which is a better option compared to Samsung one. Use the one you prefer.
Stores - As usual F-Droid (2 variants), Aurora Store and Aurora Droid.
The ROM has been tested completely, in terms of retaining of Samsung features, and additional stuffs that I could integrate. I hope on getting Stock custom ROM soon, if the framework parts pans out, and may have inbuilt power menu options, more QS stuffs and theming, all again depending on time I can spare and framework nuisance.
It would be great if Theme option is added

Did they replaced system.img with super.img ? Samsumg keeps adding their security related sh**t in the name of security patches making difficult for devs to mod their Roms.

Nope. They moved few /system/apps to /priv-app and to /vendor and made a lot of framework changes to ensure boot goes for a toss. One of the worst was how system auto cleans at a schedule. Also busybox installation fails due to /system free space being minimal.
Few more things, which I think cannot explain here.
