How to Get the Revamped Settings Menu from Android N [Xposed]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/nsettings
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you an Xposed module called Android N-ify that gives you some Android N features on older Android versions.
As of this writing, the module changes your main Settings menu to look like the new version from Android N—complete with brief descriptions under each entry that give you a quick overview of whats inside a given category. For instance, the Battery menu entry will now show the percentage of battery life remaining without having to actually head into the menu.
Root and the Xposed Framework are required, of course, but youll also need to be running Android Lollipop or higher. On top of that, this only works with stock Android or an AOSP-based custom ROM. But more Android N features are planned, so keep an eye out for updates to the module.

NOTE: Root and Xposed required.
In this video, Ill be showing you a cool new Xposed module called AllTrans that uses the Yandex online translation service to translate all of the text in any of your apps.
It works a lot like Chromes Translate this page feature, meaning that it automatically translates every bit of text in an app within a second of it loading. This should be really handy if your bilingual and would like to use a few non-translated apps in your native language.

How to Get Custom Backdrops Using Google Cast [Android TV]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/atvbackdrop
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you how to customize the screensaver on your Nexus Player, Nvidia Shield TV, or other Android TV device.
The screensaver on these devices is known as the Backdrop, which originated on the Chromecast as the screen that shows when youre not casting content. Up until now, the Backdrop on Android TV devices was not customizable, unlike the one on the Chromecast.
But now, Google rebranded its Chromecast mobile app as simply Google Cast to reflect that it finally works with any Google Cast-enabled device like an Android TV. So all you have to do is install this app on your iOS or Android device, then youll be able to get custom content on your Android TVs screensaver.

This means that you can set a keyword, share it only with people you trust, then have them text that keyword when they want to know where you are. The app will auto-detect the keyword, then respond with an SMS that shows the other person your location, which means you dont have to respond to messages like Where are you? while youre driving.

It works with routers and repeaters, regardless of whether theyre 2.4 GhZ or 5. It even makes sure that mobile data stays off during the transition, and it does all of this without requiring root access.

Samsung got rid of the dedicated Bixby key in the Galaxy Note 10 and 10+, but they made the power button activate Bixby when you long-press it. This means taking screenshots will be a little different with the new Note, so we outlined the 2 easiest ways to do it with a live hands-on at Samsung Unpacked 2019.

When a notification comes through and youre listening to music, the music stops for a few seconds. This is annoying, so I put together a fairly simple Tasker profile that disables notifications while youre using any media app, then automatically turns them back on when you leave the media app.
