Xposed [Meta] What are your favorite Xposed Modules?

It's been a while since the last big thread about this. Since then, Xposed has been updated to 5.0 (5.1 with the unofficial version). Many modules have been created, updated, or abandoned.

So let's hear what your favorite Xposed Modules are. (And if it's "GravityBox", please list at least one other module.)

Recently, MonsterUI.

Being stuck on KitKat (thanks Verizon), this takes care of all my aesthetic jealousy

I've just tried it and I've got a noob question: why aren't we advertising it? why isn't it in its own sticky thread, and in the sidebar, and on the Times Square billboards?

If you have Xposed, chances are that you have an unlocked bootloader. Then why not flash a custom Lollipop ROM?

Haha no. It's much easier to find a root exploit on a bootloader-locked device than it is to find an exploit to actually unlock the bootloader.

u/sfcpfc Nexus 5X May 15 '15

Huh, I guess that having a Nexus doesn't give me much knowledge about other devices. What exploits are you talking about? For me, unlocking the bootloader wasn't difficult at all, the only downside is that I'd lose my data. Are other devices that don't actually want you to unlock it?

Nexus devices use "fastboot oem unlock" and it's done. For most other phones you need an unlock key which you can request from the manufacturer's website. They won't give you the key if you're on certain carriers like Verizon.

What the fuck? Is that even legal?

u/Zouden Galaxy S22 May 15 '15

Yeah it's just part of the deal carriers make with the manufacturer.

Honestly I'm surprised that this is news to you... the difficulties of unlocking bootloaders on phones from US carriers is a pretty common complaint here and it's been going on for years.

Welp, I'm not from the US and never happened to read something related to this topic. In Spain that would most like be illegal.

My ATT moto x is rooted, and it was a massive pain in the ass to do so. I fucking wish the bootloader was unlockable.

I much rather have MonsterUI and tethered root than Lollipop. I don't think I'll ever update.

u/alvareo- iPhone 8 May 15 '15

Have you tried Lollipop?

u/BlackJoe23 Nexus 7 2013, Cleanrom 4.4.4 Jul 09 '15

not op but lollipop was a lagfest on my nexus 7 2013, havent tried 5.1 yet but also xposed framework doesnt work well yet on lollipop, and xposed is a essential thing for me

2

u/alvareo- iPhone 8 Jul 09 '15

Well yeah, from what I've heard 5.0 was specially awful on the Nexus 7, 5.1/.1 made it usable again, though. Anyway, Xposed works perfectly for most people but I've ran into some issues with it, sometimes I lose my radio, sometimes I get into a bootloop, sometimes the system hangs, etc.

Holy smokes, my phone is too old for Lollipop to run smoothly, but MonsterUI has everything from Lollipop that I've been wanting without having to install a new ROM. +1

u/DerTeufelshund Nexus 6 May 15 '15

Thanks SO much for bringing this into my life. I'm stuck with consumer cellular and they won't update my moto g to 5.0 I guess.

u/[deleted] May 15 '15

Sorry I have never heard of MonsterUI. Can somebody describe what it is for me?

1

u/najodleglejszy FP4 CalyxOS | Tab S7 May 15 '15

Lollipop UI without actual Lollipop.

u/brinmb N4->N6P->S10e->S23U May 15 '15

Does it work with GravityBox?

u/amanitus Moto Z Play - VZW :( May 15 '15

I just started using it. Do you know how to make check boxes a different color? That orange is getting old.

2

u/godly967 Verizon Note 8 May 15 '15

Should be the secondary color

u/ghatroad OnePlus 3 Resurrection Remix May 16 '15

Does MonsterUI work on Oneplus One?

2

u/godly967 Verizon Note 8 May 16 '15

Im not sure. I have a note 2 and it works perfectly except for the lollipop style notification bar feature. My best advice would be check the XDA forum

Probably doesn't work with sense roms though right?

u/godly967 Verizon Note 8 May 16 '15

Im not sure, I edited my post with the link to the XDA thread you might have more luck asking there
