Before vs. after
## Compatibility
> [!CAUTION]
> This Xposed module was primarily designed for my Go Color 7 (1st gen) 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.
## Features
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.
### 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
### Status Bar
Notifications
* Enable heads-up notifications
* Set maximum visible notification icons
* Remove notification icon borders
* Fix invisible/white-on-white notification icons
* ...and minor notification panel changes
Clock
* Customize clock position (left, center, right)
* 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 e-Ink refresh mode as a status icon
* Show current touch/stylus mode as a status icon
* Hide wi-fi activity indicators (arrows)
### Quick settings
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)
* Customize QS grid size
* Remove minimum tile count restriction
Tiles
* Show Black & white mode tile on all devices
* Show split-screen tile on all devices
### Recents
* Customize grid size & spacing
* Restore stock Android item header styles
### System settings
* Show stock Android gesture settings (one-handed mode, power button gestures)
* Show memory info in app info
### e-Ink optimizations
* 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.
### Other mods
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.
### MMKV system config editor
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.
