Xposed Edge

Do you ever imagine a tool app can do almost everything in single app? Of course you do, but you never found it until you found this article about Xposed Edge.

You know, actually there's some similar apps like Xposed Edge, but they're using too much battery usage, cause it's always running in the background, and if the app got killed or you kill it, the app will stop running, but not for Xposed Edge. This app will keep running even if the app got killed, how so? Because this app hook your system to keep the app running, and your battery will not being used by the app at all, and every single Xposed or Lsposed module has the same method to keep the modules running even the app is being killed by the system or you.

What this app can do exactly?

First thing is, Gestures and Keys.

Mobile Data
Bluetooth
Location
NFC

Screen Filter: What is Screen Filter do? Yes it's a reading mode or night light mode to make your screen color to half yellow as usual, but with this app, you can set your own colors. You want to make your screen dim? Set half black color. You want to make your screen feels cold? Set the color to half blue color. And you can freely choose the colors yourself with the color wheel.
Hiding Statusbar and Navigation Bar or Pill Gestures with one click or gesture.
Make the device Stay Awake without even go to Display Settings, and some ROMs or devices doesn't even a function to keep the screen awake, but this app can do it for you.
Gesture Pointer: Too lazy to use your phone with two hands? Too lazy to touch the upper screen of your phone? Don't worry, Gesture Pointer will make it easier for you. Swipe the Gesture Pointer to point and click wherever you want.

Kill Background Apps: Clear running apps is in your hands, as you all know, AOSP doesn't have a features or functions to clear running apps in the background, it's only clear the apps from Recents App but it's not clearing the caches or stop the app from running in the background, with this app, you can really clear and stop them to run in your back.
This app is also has a floating App Drawer, you can run or open any installed apps so you don't need to go back to your home screen first. And in App Drawer, there's some extra functions with long press action, and here's the functions:

Are you using a Freezer kinda apps to Freeze Apps? Why did you do that? Just use this app bro.
Some annoying notifications suddenly appear from an app? You can Stop them in floating App Drawer like it was nothing.
View the app on the Play Store.
Go to App Info

And the Drawer is not only App Drawer, there's Freezer Drawer and Running Apps Drawer. Confused? Here's the details:

Freezer Drawer is a drawer to see which apps is freezed by you in App Drawer.
And Running Apps Drawer is a drawer to see all apps that running in the background.
It's more alike a small launcher isn't it?

Shortcuts Panel: Wants to switch an apps quickly? You can use this. Want to do an actions quickly? You can use this as well. But you need to set up the Shortcuts Panel first.
Custom Panel: This functions can do the same as Shortcuts Panel, but you can set all the grid freely. (Grid is the row and columns size, example: 2×2 or 4×4.) → Guides to create iOS Assistive Touch tools.

Side Bar: Same as Shortcuts and Custom Panel but this function is only pop-up the actions on the side of your screen.
Floating Widgets: Check and see widgets in a floating display (Notes: This features is feels unstable enough to when you want to exit from the Floating Widgets.)

Input Text: Are you an admins of an online store or something? You need to be polite to every single person who contacts you but don't have a bot? So you will use an alternative like Copy and Paste to the person who contact you right? Pity you. Use this Input Text so you can input text with a single click with your own greetings template!

Adjust, Slide Adjust, Successive Adjust: Your volume button got broken? Or too lazy to open quick settings to adjust brightness? This function is the answer. You can Adjusts such as:

Brightness

Volume (Including system, media, alarm, ringer and more)

No one's texts you? Or do you want to create a simple temporary notes from notification? With this app, you can send a Notification with one click and your own text!

Now a Toast, not the bread! It's a small notification at the bottom of your screen that sometime apps send it to let you know about something with the app. (Sorry, hard to explain.) The point is, this app can send a Toast with your own text.
Are you a tutorial content creators? Are the content needs you to record your screen? Sometimes, you may need to circling a spot or giving an arrow to point something right? This app has a functions called Pen, use it to make your life easier.

So, what can i do with this app?

Actually, i already use this app for so many many things to make me use the phone more easier and the first thing is the Custom Panels. (Before i was just using Shortcuts panel on the side bar, but then i get the idea to create an Assistive Touch panel.

And i have so many functions inside of the panels such as:

Screenshot: Simple Screenshot function to take a screenshot anytime anywhere, but i got to say this functions is not for android 15 and above, cause the app will take screenshot as Region Screenshot and not Fullscreen Screenshot. (You need to crop or cut before save the screenshot.)

Go to gestures and select the position
And then choose Screenshot

Rotate: I don't like that the rotate button automatically showed up if the device is rotated, so i delete the button using module, and i use a manual Rotate button from Edge. (There are still auto rotate functions on the quick settings, but too lazy to open the quick settings 😴)

Go to gestures and select the position
Then choose Rotate Screen and select Rotate Screen again

Kill Foreground App: Kill apps before exit from the app is the only thing that matter to me, because it can increase your battery backup. (Don't forget to kill the apps before you leave the app!)

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Kill Foreground App
App Drawer: I only use this function
Go to gestures and select the position
Choose Apps Drawer and choose Apps Drawer again

Clear Running Apps: Clearing apps that running in the background to make your battery live more longer!

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Kill background apps

Battery Shortcuts: Only for checking the battery temperature.

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Activity
Search Settings and find Battery shortcuts (Only for the rom that has a temperature information in stock battery settings)

Game Profiles: I have a habit of setting the volume and brightness to the same value before playing a game, and this app helps me for that.

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Saved Multi-Actions
Create your own profiles like this for example:

Volume: Open a volume panel to set the volume slider. (My volume button was broken, so this app helps me again.)

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Adjust
Find Media Volume and select the Down or Up whatever you want (I'm using Down)

Notify Me: Only used for notification test when i creating a new miui lockscreen theme.

Go to gestures and select the position
And choose Activity
Search Settings and find Battery shortcuts (Only for the rom that has a temperature information in stock battery settings)

Hide Statusbar: When on a voice call in WhatsApp app, the statusbar will never gone even in full screen display and it's annoying, so i just hide the statusbar when on a voice call.

Go to gestures and select the position
Choose Hide Status Bar and select Toggle (To make the button works for hide and show again)

Hide Navigation Bar: I'm using this for experimental only, like change the system gesture with Edge gestures, but can also be used for you who doesn't like the pill gesture display at the bottom of the screen.

Go to gestures and select the position
Choose Hide Navigation Bar and select Toggle (To make the button works for hide and show again)

Temporary Notes: Used to show a temporary notes on the notification center.
