Customize Android with custom ROMs using Xposed

on
The Android is famous for its power of customization. This is taken to extremes by installing custom ROMs, which are modified system available for installation on multiple versions devices. Recently, a way to do this without changing the operating system was found. The "fault" is the framework Xposed, the “Tech Info - Reviews” now teaches to use. Check it out!

First, recall that the procedure, despite being considerably simpler than installing new ROMs, requires some knowledge of the Android platform. The ability to perform root on the device is a pre-requisite to proceed. Furthermore, we suggest making a full system backup to avoid any problem.

Step 1. Enable installing unknown source apps on your Android. The option is available on the "Security" menu;

Step 2. On a handset with Android from version 4.0, root access and unlocked bootloader, go to the XDA forum and download the app Xposed Installer . If you do not know what root or bootloader, your phone probably does not have the requirements for the installation Xposed. Therefore, do not proceed;

Step 3. Open the app, go to the "Framework" menu and tap "Install / Update" to install Xposed permanently on your smartphone. Allow the root and alerts accept any application, then restarting the device;


Step 4. Xposed Open the Installer again and select the "Download" option to search for new modules for installation. It is through them that the system is customized;

Step 5. Look for a module of your choice, always reading the description for possible incompatibilities with your device. Generally, there are specific modules for the Android 4.4 or higher, as well as devices for the brands Sony and Samsung. For purposes of this tutorial, we will install the Advanced Power Menu module, which allows you to add restart button, print the screen, flashlight, among other menu on / off Android;

Step 6. Open the item in the list and drag the screen to the right to the "Versions" tab. Tap "Download" to download the latest variant of the application. Install normally and tap "Done" at the end;

Step 7. Afterwards, return to the Home screen Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" option. Check the box next to the GravityBox and restart the device. At the end, their menu on / off will show new buttons, which can be enabled and disabled whenever desired.

Ready! Now just explore Xposed modules available for your device and a reset whenever you download a new one to apply the changes. You will see that in a short time, your smartphone will appear to be running a completely new version - and own - Android.

New Wiko (Getaway) smartphone: Specialty is its image quality

This year Wiko went from darkness to light, but, above all, Jelly Bean to KitKat. The latest version of Android is available from the end of 2013 but slowed by one of its preferred suppliers (MediaTek), the manufacturer had fallen behind in its integration. He catches up today. After the slide, Getaway is the second model launched Android 4.4 KitKat. However, this good news reflects a less successful strategy. Wiko prefer simply cheap and limited components rather than going out of its habits. Wax the office is still exceptional in its catalog with its Tegra 4i. Thus, if the Getaway ahead of the software side, it gives the impression to stagnate technically. For 199 €, its data sheet is perhaps a little too conventional: Android 4.4 KitKat HD screen (1280 x 720 pixels) 5 inch quad-core processor 1.3 GHz MT6582 GPU Mali-400 1GB RAM 16GB of internal memory (+ microSD) 13 megapixel camera with LED flash 5 megapixel webcam 3G connectivity + / Wi-Fi b / g / n / Blue...

Wiko Slide: hands on review

The Chinese foundry MediaTek has finally made the adjustments necessary to equip smartphones to its customers in the latest version of Android, making virtually silent on the latest Jelly Bean (4.3). Which is in practice fairly good, since it does not delay any longer the arrival of the latest version as of the Google OS. A 5.5-inch screen is not 720p? As we shall see, the presence of KitKat in this smartphone changes the game slightly. Not at the functional level, but especially in performance. Because fortunately, Kitkat is lighter than Jelly Bean. Thus, while retaining a platform almost identical to many other smartphones (or its range of low-cost competition) Wiko manages to avoid the annoyances we encountered during our test flash Rainbow about a month ago. Here in detail the data sheet: Android 4.4.2 KitKat IPS qHD screen (960 x 540 pixels) 5.5-inch with a resolution of 201 pixels per inch Quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz MT6582 GPU Mali-400 1GB RAM 4GB...
