[XDA-DEV] Xposed Framework for Nougat (API 24 & 25) [ARM, ARM64, X86]

Xposed Framework for Nougat [ARM64, X86 released]

I was just looking for Magisk for Xiaomi 4X and found out it is tough to install, so I thought there'll be probably Xposed released by now.


So, I started searching on Google for "Xposed for Nougat 7.1.1" and after it loaded first I saw some quote-unquote installers, but one was for SDK 25 ARM, not ARM64.

I felt like there is some hope, so I changed "Xposed for Nougat 7.1.1" to "Xposed SDK25 ARM64" and boom! it was there!!

The first search result I laid my eyes upon, was it! '[XPOSED] [NOUGAT] [WORK] [CAN UNSTABLE] Xposed SDK25/24 for all...' and without thinking for a second I just clicked it, and it was there, the majestic Xposed Framework for ARM64. I felt like I was soaring in sky.


But it said "might have some bugs"/"unstable" that's why I'm thinking not to install it because Magisk already done messed up with my phone and I had to reinstall ROM again... with crappy MIUI things!!

Google Pixel 2 Details Leaked

Google Pixel 2 Leaked Details

Everyone knows Google makes awesome smartphones (at least I think they do), Pixel and Nexus. And their codenames are of fishes or whales.

The leak says the codenames of Pixel 2 phones will be Muskie, Walleye and Taimen. BUT... That are nothing than just some rumors. But who knows?

Leak says it'll run Qualcomm octa-core processor, 4Gigs of RAM and Android O (API O), there might be a chance of curved screen, just like Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S8.

The leak also says Pixel 2 will outperform Galaxy S8, I mean yeah it should. As Google is competitor to all of Android smartphones.

All we have to do is wait and watch....

Google Voice Access - Control Your Android With Your Voice!

Google Voice Access

Yesterday, I just came around a new app, called Voice Access, I thought it would be same old dumb quote-unquote controlling app, I thought I should give it a whirl (yea, cool icons drive me crazy!), after clicking on it, I saw "by Google" written there, the moment I saw "by Google", I installed it without thinking.

Few minutes were spent doing settings, walking through tutorial, learning this and that.

First time ever saw something real and spontaneous! "IT WORKED!", I shouted. (not from rooftops though)

I tried typing text (type hello world), it worked. Going back forth on screens (go back) and home (go home), it worked. Swiping left and right (swipe forwards, swipe backwards), it worked. Almost everything worked, except for few things like, can't dial numbers and can't play songs, even if I somehow managed to play some song or music, Voice Access wouldn't recognize some commands, or it got confused with songs' vocals.

Nevertheless, it IS a really (I mean really!) useful app to have. A MUST HAVE APP!

I must recommend everyone to use this. And I did today, told my classmates about this amazingly cool app.

STOP READING THIS! START USING APP!

BELIEVE ME, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! :)

Google Play's New Card-Based UI

Google Play's new card-based UI

I was surfing Google+ after a long time, I noticed the notification dot top-right corner near my profile pic.

So, I clicked on it to check out what notification was about...

I saw there was notification, that said "Play store has a new layout!!!" so I clicked on it and saw this amazing new video of card-based UI of Play Store.

So I searched on Google about news and stuff I realized it's only for some smartphones (or maybe for some Android-N builds).

Let's wait and see when the new UI will come to us, and let's hope they bring less laggy Permissions list... ( ._.)

Google Turns 18 today!

Happy birthday Google - Google turns 18 today! 

About everyone in world who has internet access know about this great search engine!

It is this day of this month that Google turned 18!

Google is now officially adult (that doesn't mean it'll now allow *whistle* ;) )

Google has lots of doodles in past 17 years, this one is simply great in my thought, it has all the balloons and a balloony oogle in G's hands, which G crafts with his hands and later on it float away, then it pops and then G falls back on ground!

It's just fantastic, but sadly it isn't interactive as some other birthday doodles...

After all, it's Google it never seizes to make you happy and find the things you are looking for...

So, happy birthday Google may you live long! :D
