Xposed Tweak for this phone

I can't live without Xposed on my smartphone, the modules are so helpful. I will show some tweaks using Xposed Gravity Box module for this phone. I'm using 3GB ram version with stock

lollipop 5.0

20150528 version rom and spacerom TWRP and of course root. I have attached the xposed package, inside contains the flashable file and the apk and also the gravity box module apk. This package Xposed_.zip was shared by one of XDA user here but I forgot his name, sorry and thanks...

Unzip the Xposed_.zip package and copy the 3 files xposed-sdk21-arm64-20150426.zip (do not unzip this), LP-XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk, LP-gravitybox_v512_c64345.apk to your external sdcard.

To install xposed:

1. You need to boot to TWRP recovery (always do a backup first), go to Install option and select xposed-sdk21-arm64-20150426.zip from your external sdcard and install it, after that reboot.

2. When you reboot into system, install LP-XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk and LP-gravitybox_v512_c64345.apk.

3. After installation you will get a message on xposed "installation is only possible manually via recovery for now" and gravitybox will gives you xposed not found error, just ignore it.

4. Go to xposed Modules and tick on the GravityBox [LP].

5. Reboot and you are done setting it up.

To Tweak, Go into xposed module and click on GravityBox [LP], it will open up the options window.

Lockscreen Tweak:

1. First thing I want to set is Fingerprint lockscreen so I go to "Lockscreen Tweaks"

2. Scroll down and you will find "Direct unlock", click on it and choose "See through", what this option does is when you press the power button it will directly show you the fingerprint scan unlock instead of swipe up to unlock than follow by fingerprint scan unlock appears.

Statusbar Tweak:

Go to Notification Drawer Style - This allows you to set background color and transparency of your notification.

Go to Battery Settings - Battery indicator style - You can have the battery percentage now with this option, you can choose one with circle and the percentage inside (Dashed circle battery with percentage). The Dashed will move when you are charging battery.

Go to Clock settings - You can show date or day of week on the status bar, adjust the time size and also position.

Power Tweak:

Advanced reboot menu - this will add reboot to recovery option when you hit reboot.

Screenshot in power menu - add a Screenshot option on power menu, easy screenshot.

Low battery warning - click it and choose Non-intrusive so it will not interrupted what you are doing.

Disable LED flashing - I find it annoying during battery low and the led keep flashing, tick this to disable that.

Display Tweak:

Button backlight mode - You can disable hard button backlight here to save some battery power, enable it back at night if you need.

Brightness Settings - I find that minimum brightness setting is still too bright in the night, this option let you set below the minimum brightness. Enable it and set Minimium brightness level to 10 and reboot.

Phone Tweak:

Show dialpad automatically - save you one step to call someone.

Media Tweak:

Expandable volume panel - Enable this will allows you to adjust volume for media, ring tones and alarm seperately.

- Expand automatically - Enable this if you enable Expandable volume panel.

Miscellaneous Tweak :D:

Clear all recent tasks - I find closing app one by one on recent tasks very tedious, with this option enable, you can have a clear all button on top left/top right/Bottom left/Bottom right. VERY USEFUL!!!

Recent tasks RAM bar - this will add the RAM bar on recent task showing you RAM used and RAM Free, can position on Top/Bottom, really like this!

Engineering mode - this is advance option settings, know what you are doing when using this option.

To make the sound louder, go to Hardware Testing > Audio > than choose the option you want Normal mode, Headset mode, Loudspeaker mode and set the Max vol to 160.

So far these are the settings with xposed gravitybox I played with, hope it helps.

Non xposed tweak: :cyclops:

To disable the annoying boot up sound, use a root explore like ES File Explorer (free on playstore) go to:

Device > system > media >

Rename bootaudio.mp3 to bootaudioBAK.mp3

To disable camera click sound, camera focus sound, camera shutter sound, video record sound, use a root explore like ES File Explorer (free on playstore) go to:

Device > system > media > audio > ui

Rename camera_click.ogg to camera_clickBAK.ogg

Rename camera_focus.ogg to camera_focusBAK.ogg

Rename camera_shutter.ogg to camera_shutterBAK.ogg

Rename VideoRecord.ogg to VideoRecordBAK.ogg

No more camera sound.

To add more ringtones and notification sound:

You can use software or website to convert wav file to ogg file format.

This website can convert: audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogg

1. After you have the converted ogg sound files, copy them to your external sdcard.

2. Open up ES File Explorer select the ogg sound files you have copied on your sdcard and move them to:

Device > system > media > audio > ringtones or notifications

Go to settings > sound and notification and change your desire ringtones or notification there, enjoy!

Hope all these tweaks helps your Ecoo E04 and make it a better phone.
