Before vs. after
Caution
This Xposed module was primarily designed for my Go Color 7 running the 4.0 firmware with Android 12. I cannot guarantee full compatibility with other Boox models, especially if they do not run the 4.0 firmware.
However, in general it should largely work on other devices, provided they are running Android 12.
This module unlocks several features that are only available on high-end devices with screens larger than my Go Color 7. It also adds other mods to the SystemUI, Android Framework, and Onyx Launcher.
Widgets
- Unlock widget support on all devices
- Unlock smart assistant (dedicated launcher page for widgets); also allows non-Onyx widgets to be added
Desktop
- Unlock the app dock on all devices
- Wallpaper support (including in 3rd-party launchers)
- Customize dock & desktop grid size
- Show hidden apps (Android stock settings, stock file manager, etc.)
- Hide app labels
Function bar
- Hide function bar items (Shop, Library, etc)
- Change function bar item alignment & position
Onyx settings
- Show physical keyboard/mouse settings section on all devices
- Add additional shortcuts to App settings, app freeze manager, screensaver, and app usage statistics
Notifications
- Enable heads-up notifications
- Set maximum visible notification icons
- Remove notification icon borders

- ...and minor notification panel changes
Clock

- Insert day of the week, or your custom dynamic text (ex., with the current date) next to the clock (in small or normal font size)
Status icons

- Show current touch/stylus mode as a status icon
- Hide wi-fi activity indicators (arrows)
Header
- Show user switcher button
- Show the settings button, and optionally redirect to Android's stock settings
Panel
- Inject Android's media controls into the QS panel (seek bar, play/pause buttons, etc., for music apps)
- Hide panel components (WiFi/BT tiles, tile grid, front-light sliders, volume slider, etc.)
- Compact panel style (top right only, instead of using the full-screen height)

- Allow regal mode everywhere, for example, in certain system apps
- Unlock the e-Ink optimization menu in all apps
- Assign different refresh modes to each activity within an app
- For example, you could set it up to switch to Regal mode when an app has its reader activity open and use fast mode for the book library screens, which might feature lots of scrolling elements & lists.
NaviBall (Floating button)
- Remove app filter for the 'Open app action'
- Add a new B/W mode toggle action
All apps
- Restore the last used app activity after a reboot/shutdown
- For example, on the next boot, the NeoReader app would automatically re-open the last book you read before shutting down.
The app also includes an editor for the MMKV file format. It is used in Onyx apps and by the system to store configuration data.
This component works without Xposed but requires root access.
