Power-up Android Lollipop’s Notifications

Get more info from Android 5.0 alerts with the updated version of XBridge


Those of us who have a ton of apps are bombarded with a stream of notifications. However, with so many different icons it can be tricky to keep track of where notifications came from and where the apps themselves have come from. XBridge is a module that has just been updated for Android 5.0 that gives you more information about the apps sending you notifications. A push on the bar will let you perform a web search related to that app or go straight to Google Play, where you can uninstall the app. This tutorial will show you how to get the Xposed module and then use it to keep on top of all the notifications that appear on your Android handset throughout the day. You will need root access for this.

How to Power up :- 

1. Get XBridge



Head to the Xposed Module Repository (http://goo.gl/l4u6z0) and click on the download link to add XBridge to your phone. Unfortunately there is not a Google Play version so you have to use the APK. Head into the installer and click the tick next to XBridge.

2. Finish setting up



Reboot your phone. Once it turns back on, you should be ready to start using the module. If it isn’t, make sure you had ticked the box. XBridge may not work if you have certain custom ROMs set up, so check XDA Forum for non-compatible ROMs.

3. Notification locations



If you receive a notification and want to know which of your apps it is from, drag down your Quick Settings menu and then tap and hold on the notification. You should now see a range of icons. Tap the briefcase icon to go to that app in Google Play.

4. Edit Notifications



As before, drag down the Quick Settings menu, tap the notification and then hold. You should see an I in a circle appear. If you tap this, you can jump straight into your notification settings for this app without having to find them manually.

5. Enter your settings



Certain apps can also have their general settings hidden away in the depths of your phone. Drag down, tap and hold again, before pressing the cog icon. This will take you directly to that app’s Settings page so you can perform a range of actions, such as uninstalling it.

6. Search Google Play



If an app is feeling buggy, head into the Recently Used apps list, press that app’s information bar and hold. Tap the Google Play icon that appears. This will take you directly to that app’s Play store page where you can uninstall and reinstall the app easily.

Enjoy it.....
