# QS Boundless Tiles
LSPosed module that keeps third-party Quick Settings tiles responsive on Android 13+.
## Background
Since Nougat (2016) Android has limited third party Quick Settings to [3 active tiles](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/d5a204f16e7c71ffdbc6c8307a4134dcc1efd60d/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/qs/external/TileServices.java#37). SystemUI manages tile bindings via a visibility-based priority queue, evicting services for non-visible tiles once the cap is reached. The Android 13 optimizer then freezes these evicted services which causes a ~3-5 second delay when they are eventually tapped.
Example: 10 third-party tiles installed
1. You pull down the QS panel
2. SystemUI binds the 3 most visible tiles using its visibility-based priority queue
3. The remaining 7 are evicted and frozen by CachedAppOptimizer
4. You tap an inactive tile and wait 3-5 seconds for the unfreeze-and-rebind cycle to complete
## How it works
This module uses the modern Xposed API to hook into `SystemUI` and raise the binding cap, allowing all your tiles to stay warm and responsive without the lag russian roulette.
## Requirements
- Android 13+ (API 33+)
- LSPosed (API 100)
- Scope: `com.android.systemui`
Tested on Pixel and LineageOS (Android 16). OEM ROMs (Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.) untested. Root required on Android 14+ for tile scanning and SystemUI restart.
## System Overhead
**Memory Footprint**: Each tile uses ~10-30 MB. Even with 20+ tiles active, the total RAM usage is virtually imperceptible on any 6GB+ device.
**Battery & Wakeclocks**: No idle drain or unnecessary wakeups. Power consumption depends entirely on what your active tiles do.
**Stability**: Higher binding limits increase active connections in SystemUI. Poorly coded tiles may cause issues on budget devices at extremely high limits.
If you encounter issues, please [file an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/hxreborn/qs-boundless-tiles/issues/new/choose).
## Installation & Usage
1. Download the APK:
2. Install and enable the module in [LSPosed](https://github.com/JingMatrix/LSPosed)
3. Scope to `com.android.systemui`
4. Restart SystemUI or reboot the device
5. Open the app and adjust the slider (grant root for auto-calculated optimal limit)
## Build
1. Install JDK 21, Android SDK
2. Configure SDK path in `local.properties`
```properties
sdk.dir=/path/to/android/sdk
```
3. Build APK
```bash
./gradlew assembleRelease
```
4. (Optional) Sign release builds via `signing.properties` or environment variables
```properties
keystore.path=/path/to/your/keystore.jks
keystore.password=
key.alias=
key.password=
```
Unsigned builds remain reproducible.
