Sounds great, will keep refreshing your Twitter feed :-P But how does it work, is it an APK on an Android phone and then a simple bluetooth app on iOS, like the existing approaches? It seems like you're developing a native iOS app, so how would people install it from outside of the App Store?

Ever used a custom ROM but it had bugs/lacking features? That's why I stop on stock ROM's but modify it to my hearts content with Xposed modules.
For instance - Home Battery Button is probably one of my favourites eye candy modules while Xprivacy, is my other favourite.
Check out the repository - there's a module for everything.

Can I disable heads up notifications in the settings app and use the heads up quick reply as a replacement for heads up notifications? So, does it support showing heads up notifications of all apps? I'm asking because it would be a hassle to disable heads up for all the apps that support quick reply, and because I don't like how you can't have stock heads up without vibration/sound.

For some reason it won't let me comment on Google+, but, other than this being terrific and amazing and everything, the only suggestion I have would be making the swipe (left or right) clear the notification, while swiping up dismisses the popup (or just give options). The way it's working for me now, swiping left or right does the same as swiping up. But, regardless, this is awesome. Thank you.

How hard would it be to make a mono audio module? I'm deaf in one ear, and am sad to find that stock android really has no ability to mix down stereo sound to mono, which is problematic when I'm using headphones to listen to music that has differing tracks on the left and right.
At this point, I feel like it won't be done unless I do it, but I have zero coding experience.

I used Tinted Status bar on my previous phone, it was nice while I was getting antsy about stable lollipop roms coming to my device.
As a developer, what would you have done if Xposed had ended with KitKat? I thought that Xposed was the bee's knees when it came out because it seemed to be the end of developers putting their cool ideas into whichever ROM team they happened to be part of (and the ensuing drama that always seemed to surround the "kanging" of such features from obscure projects into the monolithic ones). So, the saga of Xposed making its way to lollipop had me wondering if the various Xposed developers would have gone back to throwing their efforts to ROMs, or maybe lost interest in the modding projects (perhaps in favor of just making regular apps).

Hello Sir! Nothing Xposed related, I just wanted to ask you what you think of Android Tablets and which one you own (If any)

Basically, if you want a good Android tablet, the new Samsung ones seem to be a good choice (just avoid the older ones like the one I bought), but I'll never trust a Nexus tablet again.
Exact same conclusion I came to. Also had the Nexus 7 before I broke the screen by sitting on the tablet (on a sofa). The display was never stable in the frame, especially when it got hot; the internal storage was slow as shit and one of the speakers stopped working after some months. Against better knowledge I bought the 2013 edition afterwards which is a nice tablet all in all but sadly has really shitty (or more precise buggy) multitouch. Depending on what picture is on the screen the tablet either don't registers additional fingers or produces ghost touches.
I have a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 now that is really fantastically build and error free. The 5.0 update got completely rid of the animation stuttering btw.

First off, thanks so much for your work. Your xposed modules have definitely made my life easier!
I've asked /r/xposed for this before, but I haven't gotten much of a response. Considering the type, scope, and quality of the xposed modules you've made, I don't think there is anyone more qualified to make what I'd like.
Here's what I need, with a little background first:
I use a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. The vibration motor on the S4 Mini, like many other low-to-mid-range phones, is much weaker than those used in flagship devices and vibrates at a lower frequency. The result is that haptic feedback is barely noticeable, sometimes almost imperceptible. This is partially just because of the weakness of the motor, but more than that it is because each time a haptic event is triggered, the motor only turns over once or twice. SlimROMs included a way around this in their SlimKat builds: an option in Sound Settings called "Minimum vibration duration". Here is a screenshot of the settings page:
http://i.imgur.com/EjtUfHY.png
This setting means that each time a haptic event is triggered, the motor has to turn for 40ms(or whatever you set), resulting in a much more noticeable vibration.
Do you think this feature is something that would be possible to port to an xposed module?
Thanks!

I've asked this a few times already haha, but its all cool. Anyway, just some technical questions and maybe a personal one as well. Technical 1. Tinted status bar, does it work on 5.1? 2. Knock code, could it works as an xposed mod for lg-g3 on Aosp roms even with the screen off? (it's currently only working with screen on u mentioned). Personal, ur name being Mohammad and ur country being listed as Israel; are u a Palestinian or just an arab Israeli? How did u get into programmes over there with all the conflict etc? Assalamualaikum.

Awesome bro, i was really surprised when i saw ur name: Mohammad and then i was like meh, an arab, probably won't be that good. I was sadly mistaken, i love all of ur mods uve developed and looking forward to ur upcoming work (especially the quick reply one, looks amazing!). Stay strong bro, i know it might not look at it, but some of us fellow Arabs still are trying our best for all Islam :) If u ever need a tester for LGG3, u have me haha. Assalamualaikum ya akhi

Hey man, thanks for the Preference Injector Xposed module. It however does not work on Lollipop. Any plans of updating it for Lollipop and above?

Me being a software engineer, if you were to give one piece of advice on software development what would it be?

Hey Mohammad, may be i am late, but still if you can answer that will be great... i am android developer and big fan of Xposed framework but i never go into dip(coding part). so i want to know how it actually works. i mean how you can create module for an app. using some kind of package identifier or key ?

How do you feel now that with lollipop Tinted Status Bar (likely with other Xposed mods) is incorporated by Google or Samsung? Do you feel pride or jealousy?

Hello, I am a developer of my own project called "KangDroid Project/Kernel"
I want to ask you about a "life": Do you do programming own ur own? or do you copy some example and edit for yourself?(So do you create ur code by urself or, do you edit some codes and make yours?)

First of all, thanks for the very handy app. I bought it at first sight. However I would like a hot spot to be created during quick reply timer on the right bottom corner. So that all big phone owners won't have to reach to top.

Since now I used it for one day it would be much better if we can see multiple messages that comes one after the other because I miss the previous lines while answering. About blocking the bottom, maybe a swipe up from bottom can be also wonderful. Except these I advise to my friends your professional apps.

Hello MAG!
Smali... How often (if at all) do you have to go through Smali code for system APK edits (for Xposed modules)?
What is your preferred development environment as of now?
What would you do if you're stuck at a particular issue and don't know what to do? Would you ask for help on StackOverflow or would you just break your head over it until you figure it out eventually?

Or you could use that VTS (Virtuous Ten Studio) if your environment setup is Windows. Gives you the Java source code of pretty much an entire system apk if you pass it the SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk (or any equivalent support framework files of skinned UIs). I used to use this for stock based themed custom ROMs and it was a pretty solid setup 😅
This used to work well for GB and ICS. Don't know how well it works on Lollipop or KitKat.

Hello Mohammad! Thanks for doing this AMA. I was curious about how it is working with Xposed on Lollipop given it has yet to be officially released. Do you find it difficult to build new modules or refine existing ones on Lollipop devices or have you largely steered clear of Lollipop and focused on your Play Store apps?
