Hi guys! Let me introduce to you this awesome MOD:
Let's start underlining again (as clearly stated in topic title) that this is not my work - the developer of the xPosed framework is rovo89 so why don't you leave him a "thanks"? :laugh:
So, as making a duplicate would be useless I am not copying-pastying the original thread you can find HERE
By the way, I got the permission from rovo89 himself to mantain a S3 Mini dedicated thread for his MOD
PLEASE NOTICE - do not spam the official thread with bugreports, do it here instead. If you don't understand a step, you want more clarifications on how this framework is working, or a mod isn't working for you and so on, just leave a post here and I'll help you to get through your problems/curiosities
That said...
The xPosed framework itself only has the potential to mod your ROM. It doesn't include any extra feature, that you will get by installing additional modules, but we will talk about that later.
Features:
Instructions:
First of all you need to setup your framewok:
- Download the Xposed installer.from the original thread
- Install it on your phone
- Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
- Reboot and you're done!
As I said before installing the framework only won't make any magic. To start modding your system you have to download some additional modules you can find here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/ (a google search may reveal more modules repositories though )
The modules are in apk format, if you want to install them do this way:
- Download <module>.apk and install it
- Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab
- Enable the module by checking the checkbox
- Reboot (sometimes soft reboot is enough) and you're done! :good:
Now lets talk about these modules. I have tried most of them before posting here to provide some useful hands-on feedback and here's what I suggest to install (100% working mods) on our S3 mini:
Description of the mods: -more info on the repository page-
- Dithered Holo Background:
This mod fixes a minor annoyance in ICS/Jelly Bean that shows a slight color banding over Holo backgrounds.
- Email Text Colour:
Use this if you're using stock Samsung Email client - NOT THE ONE IN MY DMOD THAT'S INVERTED. As many of you could have noticed, stock email app isn't that readable. Why? Black backgrounds+greyish text. If you are not using my inverted email mod this could come in handy because changes the text colour from grey to a more white one
- No increasing ringtone:
Easy, this disables the default increasing ringtone and will play your ringtone at the same volume from the beginning to the end
- Samsung keyboard short delay:
If you, like me, don't like to use a third party keyboard this could be quite useful. If you've ever wondered about the possibility of reducing the long-press delay this is the answer, by reducing time from 500ms (that's just ridicolous) to 200ms.
- Xposed delivery notification toast:
If you're using delivery notifications (i find them veeery useful) you'll find this mod great. Samsung has a strange way of handling delivery reports, as a notification appears in the status bar and the SMS ringtone will be played. So it's not that different from a normal SMS... this will transform the notification into a little toast (just like superuser ones) and no sound will annoy you anymore
-Xposed tweakbox
A nice xposed module (with own GUI, like a standalone app), with a nice collection of graphical mods:
So at the end of the day these are the major mods you can get with xposed, even on a stock ROM (if rooted):
- No SMS to MMS conversion
- No increasing ringtone
- Change default smilies
- Enable call recording (not tested yet)
- Launcher modifications
- Real SMS timestamps
- Per-app DPI and UI settings
and some other nice (but minor) mods/fixes

Features:
- No need to modify system apks (so no unpacking,decompiling,recompiling,ect... very n00b friendly!)
- Universal - it works on multiple devices and ROMs as it relies on proprietary framework
- Changes are fully revertable by simply uninstalling the framework, so no need to reflash your ROM
- Open source!
Instructions:
First of all you need to setup your framewok:
- Download the Xposed installer.from the original thread
- Install it on your phone

-Xposed tweakbox
A nice xposed module (with own GUI, like a standalone app), with a nice collection of graphical mods:
- Statusbar mods - they work just fine!
- CRT effect - does NOT work as it relies on a modded
- Battery mods - working
- Phone mods - working, call recording NOT tested
- Miscellaneous - they work - SKIP TRACKS WITH VOLUME BUTTON INCLUDED!
So at the end of the day these are the major mods you can get with xposed, even on a stock ROM (if rooted):
- No SMS to MMS conversion
- No increasing ringtone
- Change default smilies
- Enable call recording (not tested yet)
