Hi everyone!
After years of reading, flashing, and gaining a lot of Android-knowledge on XDA-Developers, I felt it was time to create my own Xposed Module.
So hereby I proudly present to you my first app:
AppContext
Better application context for Tasker with Xposed!
Now available on Google Play, XDA Labs and the Xposed Module Repository.
With AppContext, you can have Tasker react on running applications, without the downsides of the default implementation.
The default application context of Tasker has several downsides:
• it is inaccurate (in Android versions after KitKat)
• it needs an accessibility service (which disables screen lock for enhanced data encryption, but this can be re-enabled)
• it checks frequently which app is running
Especially the last point is inconvenient, as frequent checks may drain battery and infrequent checks means Tasker is slow to react.
AppContext solves these problems by utilizing the power of Xposed! It hooks directly into the Activity-class, letting Tasker react immediately when an app starts. This means no more periodic checking which app is running, so no more battery drain and no more slow reactions. It's also perfectly accurate and doesn't need an accessibility service, so your device's screen lock can be used for enhanced data protection again.
(Experimental support for reacting on Services is also present.)
AppContext may also work with other apps using the Locale API, such as Locale, Llama, Automate, Automagic and others. However, this is not tested extensively.
To support development, AppContext contains non-intrusive ads. These can be removed with a small in-app purchase. (Note that if you donate through PayPal on XDA, ads are not removed. Nevertheless, it is still highly appreciated)
Please understand that AppContext is still considered to be in beta. There may be bugs. Please report them in this thread, or by using the in-app Feedback button or sending an email to [email protected].
Constructive criticism is highly appreciated!

FYI you can still use disk encryption password with accessibility services. when you enable the service it disables the 'require passcode on boot' but you can just re-enable from the security settings and it works
great module by the way! thanks

That's interesting! Very unclear communication from Android though. I'll add your info to the first post, thanks for letting me know!
(And glad you like the module. )
Don't know if i posted this right but the message shown in "not running" state is the same as the running one in tasker. Shouldnt it say when "this app is not running" or something like that?
A great module and very reliable

Yes you're right! Thanks for the info and the screenshot. It's supposed to say "is in the foreground" or "is not in the foreground", but I see that "is" and "is not" have disappeared. Will be fixed in the next update.
Good to hear the module is reliable!
Interesting Module. I always thought Tasker's app detection was a bit unreliable. Never thought it could be improved though. Thanks!
Wonder if Tasker Dev (Pent) will/can implement this as a "fix"
Hi everyone,
The first update (0.3.1) is live! It is now available on Google Play, XDA Labs and the Xposed Module Repository.
It is just a quick bugfix update. It should fix the typo in the Tasker blurb, the crash when pressing 'back' in the 'Pick apps' screen and also enable Magisk systemless Xposed compatibility.
For those of you with Magisk: AppContext will probably complain it can't find the Xposed Framework, but if you enable the module and reboot, it should work (and AppContext stops complaining). I would be glad if someone could report back.
I will probably make a more elegant solution in a 0.4 update.
Please report any bugs in this thread, or by using the in-app Feedback button or sending an email to [email protected]. Thanks!
Enjoy!

I don't think Tasker can implement this though, as AppContext hooks directly into Android-classes, which is only possible with Xposed.
Very nice! You should post it in http://www.reddit.com/r/Tasker too.
If I set an app context using your plugin, then navigate to the app and toggle the screen off and on, the profile deactivates and activates again. Is this deliberate? I'm actually not sure what the in-built app context's behaviour is. I found it confusing since in that case I haven't switched app, per se.

Good point. It is sort-of intended behavior, as AppContext simply checks whether the app's (or Activity's, actually) 'onStop' method is called. This method gets called when you turn the screen off. I might change this behavior in the future, or make it configurable. Until then, you could use the following workaround:
Profile: Event --> Plugin --> AppContext --> Start --> pick the apps you want to act on
Variables --> Variable Set
Name: %appsRunning
To: 1
Either: Clone the previous Profile, then go into Configuration --> Menu (3-dots) --> Configure context --> Stop
Or: Profile: Event --> Plugin --> AppContext --> Stop --> pick the same apps
Task --> Wait
MS: 500 (You can play with this number: smaller for a quicker response, bigger for more reliability detecting screen state.)
Task --> If
Condition: %SCREEN equals on
Variables --> Variable Set
Name: %appsRunning
To: 0
Task --> End If
Profile: State --> Variables --> Variable Value --> %appsRunning equals 1
Perform your Actions here.
I hope this works for you (and others)!
And thanks a lot for the heads-up on the subReddit, that's actually a very good suggestion!
Nice! Checking this out. Thx!
Suggestion: currently on lollipop+(I think), location toggle is unable to be used, even with root. The workaround is to use another plugin app with root/adb privs, but I was wondering whether this could be changed using xposed (changing the location hook?), as it should be visible to tasker that's been granted root).

Do you mean something like a Tasker-compatible Xposed module that toggles location modes?

More like editing tasker so that the location toggles work when it's granted root, instead of actually requiring you to download another app/plugin and granting that root.
Any location/GPS usage gets the message "For Android 2.3+ Google have made changes such that it is no longer possible for a normal app to change GPS without user-interaction. If you wish to continue.. blah blah blah.. consider rooting and installing the secure settings plugin".
Considering that Tasker is able to have root privileges granted, clearly it should be possible for it to toggle location.

Got it! It's a good point you make. However it would require either an Xposed module, or an actual adjustment/update to the Tasker app (by Pent). In case of the Xposed module, it would be interesting to see if and how this can be done.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your help in getting CM up to a flawless standard! We are now almost ready to deploy CM 1.5 - it will include MMS blocking, Class0 auto replies and many other new and very cool features.
We need your help now to iron out any remaining bugs before we embark on a daemon rebuild. Please download the app from the market and get testing! Here are the issues we want to address specifically:
- If you have problems regaining 3G after the telephony restart. This should have been fixed. If not, please try "Slow radio restart" in Debugging and report your results!
- Issues moving list priorities on Light or Dark theme. Again, if you have issues, please switch to the other theme, try again and then report back.
- Notification color schemes. We are interested if the new notifications comply with the majority of frameworks.
Thank you in advance for all your great work, this ultra-awesome app is as much a child of yours as it is of ours

This is a fully functional application. However, after a 24 hour demo period it will start nagging you to buy the Key, which will remove all nag
screens and timeouts from the interface. The nag screens are pretty light though, so users who dont want to spend can live with them.
Screens - VIEW GALLERY
OK guys, please sens some SMS to any number and then click "Write to us" in settings. We need to check how the SMS system functions currently.
Thanks.
I sent the logs, hope it helps
Updated to r17,
- Tweaked password protection and hidden mode
- Added LED notifications
- Added private conversations
R19
- Many UI bugs fixed
- Help fixed
- Added data connectivity on CDMA/LTE workaround (beta)
We have released R19 - this fixes much of the help and (hopefully) data connectivity on CDMA phones and LTE enabled phones.
Data connectivity needs to be tested. This is very important. It may not work, but even if it doesnt you should send logs so we can finally fix this annoying issue on some of the lte phones and a few others.
So as usual, test connectivity by keeping your screen on at first boot, and then sending logs with a description!
Thanks!
Im on R20, everything is working perfectly!
market only? really?? :|
no-gapps.
Yes really. Why would you not want to install the market? It just seems like such a silly, pointless thing to do...
Any issues to report?
How is the latest release coming along?
Any issues with 1.2.0?
Any issues to report with 1.2?
By the way, for those that dont know we released an app called SwitchMe that will, among other things, give you EVEN MORE PRIVACY:

Note: MoDaCo Toolkit is no longer available via the Play Store. MoDaCo Toolkit is now a free, ad-supported application with a Pro version. Previous Play Store purchasers will receive the Pro key free of charge (details to follow)
As you may know, I often create modifications for Android and rather than them ending up all over the place, I'm now adding them to the 'MoDaCo Toolkit', which is built to use the Xposed Framework - http://mdc.gd/xposedfw. I plan on updating this every time I come up with a new tweak, be it a generic Android modification or specific to a particular device.
The pre-requisites are as follows:
You MUST be rooted
You MUST have the Xposed Framework installed and active
You MUST accept that modifications are used at your own risk
You may NOT distribute the toolkit (including in custom ROMs) - link back to this topic
Hit the 'Follow' button at the top right of the main MoDaCo Tookit topic to be notified of updates
Got that? OK.
The Toolkit can be downloaded in the main Xposed Toolkit thread here.
To use, simply download and install, enable the module in 'Xposed settings' and then enable the mods you want in the 'MoDaCo Toolkit' application. Note that most modifications will require a reboot to take effect and not all modifications will work on all devices!
HTC One specific modifications currently included are:
Action Launcher Pro + HTC One: Transparent status bar.
HTC One: Disable high volume warning - disable the volume warning that shows when cranking up the sound with headphones in.
HTC One: Enable ADB with secure lockscreen - ADB WILL NOT be disabled on boot if the device has a secure lockscreen configuration. DANGER: This is a potential security risk - handle with care!
HTC One: Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
HTC One: Enable button options (only required on Android 4.1 ROMs) - the button options item will appear in settings, allowing you to configure the back button long press as menu.
HTC One: Volume wake - wake your device with the volume keys!
HTC One: Hide Kid Mode on power menu - this removes the Kid Mode option on the menu displayed when you long press the power button.
HTC One: Match battery image to % - the standard battery images don't correspond to the % remaining, this fixes that.
HTC One: Rename Flashlight to Torch - for us UK types.
HTC One: Show Blinkfeed icon in launcher - if you are using a third party launcher, this provides a simple way to access Blinkfeed. Just remove all the homescreens.
Other modifications currently included are:
Amazon MP3: Force US locale - use this if cloud player is not yet available in your country. Clear data on Amazon MP3 after enabling.
Facebook: Force Home Compatibility: Facebook will detect your device as Facebook Home compatible.
Google: Disable Wallet checks - remove region and root checks from Google Wallet.
Google: Force Play Store to 720P - your device will appear as a 720P device to the store, useful if apps are missing on your 1080P device.
Google: Prevent app disabling - apps from outside your region (e.g. Wallet, Sound Search) will not be disabled on startup.
Google Nexus 7: Show Camera in launcher - restore the missing Camera icon to the launcher.
Google Nexus (all): Disable safe volume warning.
Google Nexus (all): Enable multi-user support if unsupported on stock (e.g. Nexus 4).
Google Nexus (all): Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
Google Nexus (all): Show user on power menu - this allows you to switch users using the long-press power menu.
HTC First: Hide carrier in status bar - stop the carrier name showing in the top left.
Pebble: Low priority notification (removes persistent icon).
SlingPlayer: Disable legacy hardware warning - remove the warning when connecting to older Slingboxes.
System: Allow all rotations - rotation will be allowed in all directions, even upside down.
System: Device properties - a number of device properties (normally read from build.prop) can be changed on the fly. BOARD, BRAND, DEVICE, MODEL and PRODUCT are included initially. Want others? Let me know!
System: Disable forward lock - apps will not be able to install to /mnt/asec, instead installing to /data/app. NOTE: May cause issues on some Samsung devices.
System: Enable action bar menu button - the software menu button will be displayed even if you have a hardware menu button.
System: Enable app buttons - the disable and notification options will be enabled for system apps.
System: Enable dreams service - enable the dreams screensaver service.
System: Enable lock screen rotation - if your device supports it, this will allow lock screen use in landscape.
System UI: Custom operator name.
System UI: Hide AM/PM on clock - hide the AM/PM indicator on the clock when not in 24H mode.
System UI: Hide battery meter - hide the battery meter, useful if you're using a third party app in the notification bar like Battery Widget Reborn (now also supports the HTC One!) or battery percentage.
System UI: Hide ongoing IME switcher - hide on the input method switch prompt.
System UI: Show battery percentage - show the remaining battery percentage next to the clock.
System UI: Show navigation bar - this allows you to show the navigation bar on supported devices.
Trackball Alert: Easy download link - easily download the TBA app and Xposed module.
Wireless: Enable NFC when screen is off - NFC works when the screen is off, useful for NFC launch tasks.
Wireless: Enable Face Lock with VPN - VPN (Credential Storage) will be available with Face Lock security.
If you have specific tweak requests or general questions, please visit http://mdc.gd/modacotoolkit
Note that special steps are required to activate the Xposed framework on the HTC One - see http://mdc.gd/xposedfwone for further details.
Big thanks go out to rovo89 for the framework and also to Bharath Prabhuswamy for the application icon.

New in version 6 - added 'Wireless' category. new modules - Wireless: Enable VPN with Face Lock - VPN (Credential Storage) will be available with Face Lock security.
New in version 5 - bugfix: Fixed an issue with app installing to SD card. new module - HTC One: Don't disable ADB - ADB WILL NOT be disabled on boot if the device has a secure lockscreen configuration. DANGER: This is a potential security risk - handle with care!
New in version 4 - additional support: Hide battery meter now supports the HTC One, new module: Amazon MP3: Force US locale
New in version 3 - new modules: HTC One: Hide Kid Mode on power menu, SlingPlayer: Disable legacy hardware warning, System: Hide battery meter.
New in version 2 - a slightly revised design and the following new modules - System: Allow all rotations, System: Enable NFC when screen is off.
All those are specific to the HTC one?
I ask especially cuz I wanted to confirm that the nfc use when screen is locked tweak does work. Cuz I wasn't aware of any such tweak till now. If so awesome. Can it be tweaked to set to use nfc when screen unlocked but on and not when screen is off?

The NFC when screen is locked is not currently One compatible, it's coming tho.

Hi Paul,
I installed Xposed and Modaco Toolkit but I cant get the back menu to show up neither the Enable app Buttons.
The only thing that did work was the blinkfeed to show in the launcher. Is it something that i am doing wrong?
Thanks for the kit!

There's a specific way how to install Xposed for the HTC One but I found out by reading through your website.
Thanks for the awesome tweaks
Does this have a modifier that will allow volume rocker music controls?

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for the toolkit. I don't know what I'm missing, but I can't get wallet to work. I always get insufficient privileges message. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? BTW I'm using toolkit 18
Version 19 is now online for manual download and via auto-update (launch the MoDaCo Toolkit app to initiate a background update check).
Changes:
HTC One: Match battery image to %
On the HTC One the battery indicator can be rather misleading, this mod makes the image correspond exactly to how much battery is really left.
HTC One: Rename Flashlight to Torch
In the UK we don't call it a Flashlight, it's a torch. This fixes it!
Play Store: Lower case wishlist menu (for @le3ky!)
Rachid didn't like seeing 'My apps' and 'My Wishlist' together... so this makes it 'My wishlist'. Heh.
Note that Xposed Framework 2.1.4 now REQUIRED for HTC One (and Galaxy S4!) due to added support for resource replacement - see this post to download.
Don't forget that for a limited time you can get MoDaCo Toolkit Pro free - see this post for more details.

Ouch, attitude much? It doesn't work on your device... Only the Sprint One seems to support it currently, it's down to the base ROM. It's in the Toolkit as in many devices, it does get it working.

I have a request.
I use WiFi Calling most of the time, and whenever I use it, notification comes on. This notification comes on only when WiFi Calling is used. Sometimes I don't want to use WiFi calling, and I have click on the notification, go into settings and turn off WiFi Calling. Is it possible to add this toggle in the notification? (Make it expandable). Also, when I'm connected to WiFi network, but WiFi calling is turned off, I have to go deep into the settings to turn WiFi Calling on, It would be outstanding if same WiFi calling notification would come on every time phone is connected to WiFi Network, so I can quickly turn WiFi calling back on if I need it.
I hope this is not confusing. I understand that you are probably not even familiar what WiFi calling is, so please let me know if you want me to do any testing (assuming it is possible).
Once again thanks for everything you do, I've been your fan from HTC Hero days

Great mod! Really like the ability to "turn off awake screen while charging"
One issue, for some reason my phone refuses to stay awake (even with the dev options setting on) while charging...so I used to use a "stay awake" application but that disrupts the previously mentioned feature. Any tips?
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Used your app on my s4 now my n5

Love this module. It's got clean, CLEAN (out of the box clean) design. A few handpicked mods and it works flawlessly. I only use battery text and power button options. I hope the dev doesn't go for quantity over quality with future additions of mods/options within this module. I like that it's simple, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed. Well done.

Are there instructions on how the Exchange lock bypass should work? I've ticked it, rebooted, deleted the admin account, deleted the Exchange email account, rebooted, recreated the exchange email account, and it still wants to enforce device admin, all the options to disable pin are greyed out.

Awesome work, as always. Thanks, is good to see all this features on Aosp roms as I had them on Sammy.
I know this is a work in progress, but, is it possible add possibility to change background on lockscreen?
And, finally... is it possible to move a little bit to the left the clock when is on the left?
thank for share

Introduction:
Apps can launch other apps' activities inside their task. This makes it impossible to switch back and forth between the two. This module sets the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag when starting a new activity, which 'fixes' that.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
Xposed Framework.
Filtering:
A quick toggle is available in the settings. Just check "Disable module" and the changes will take effect immediately. No need to restart.
You can use the blacklist or the whitelist to filter activities. If the blacklist is selected, all activities except those excluded will launch in a new task. If you use the whitelist, only matching activities will launch in a new task instead. The preferred way to add entries is through the log.
The activity components are output to the logcat. You can filter it for "activityforcenewtask componentString:" to see them. A line is logged for every started activity (you probably don't want to keep the log constantly turned on.)
A log viewer is also present in the app. You can press a log entry to directly add it to the currently active list. I'd advise you to only enable the log when needed.

Changelog:
2.1.3:
Compatibility with Lollipop.
Added Spanish translation and updated Portuguese (Brazil) and Slovak translations. Thanks to Jose Artuñedo, meatboy371 and ja-som.
2.1.1:
The blacklist/whitelist settings are now only reloaded when necessary. Shouldn't make a big difference unless you have huge lists.
4.4.3 fix: get the context using a different method (fixes logging on 4.4.3).
Added Portuguese (Br) translation by meatboy371.
2.0.3:
Only use context for logging;
Try to get the context in an alternate manner if the first one fails;
Bug fix: current package wasn't being detected properly;
Only start activities in a new task when the caller does not expect a result (different, more general implementation.)
2.0.2:
Reverted back to hooking ActivityRecord's constructor. Should solve the issue where some activities' launches weren't being detected.
Updated Slovak translation.
2.0:
Ignore activities that are launched by their own apps;
Added filtering options back. You can choose between the whitelist and the blacklist, but the no filtering option has been removed;
Added help dialogs for the whitelist/blacklist/log;
Bug fix: duplicate log entries when returning to the app with the log viewer open.
Other minor changes: use icons for action bar items, reorder preferences.
1.9:
Removed none/blacklist filtering options. The whitelist is always used now (renamed to "Enabled Components") which means that you must configure the module, as it won't do anything by default.
Reverted back to hooking Activity.startActivity(Intent, Bundle). Other methods used to start an Activity require the usage of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, so it doesn't actually make sense to hook anything else. Also removed the alternate way to get a context as it shouldn't be needed anymore.
Check if FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is already set, and do nothing if that's the case (the activity won't be logged either.)
Updated Slovak translations (by ja-som.)
1.8.1:
Fix some crashes at startup;
Add FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag instead of overwriting it. This fixes issues with XHalo and some apps showing in recents when they shouldn't;
Updated translations.
1.7:
Different hook, the previous one didn't catch all new activities.
1.6.1:
Removed unnecessary logging.
1.6:
Added whitelist.
1.5:
Added option to enable/disable the blacklist (and log.) The blacklist requires a few extra calls which are unnecessary if you don't use it, so I'd advise you don't enable it unless you need it.
Cleanup/better performance for the log viewer.
1.4:
The mod will now only modify intents that should be modified. This should fix all breakage without needing the blacklist. \o/
Log viewer improvements: tapping on an item now removes it from the list after adding it to the blacklist, and a toast is shown to indicate if it's been added to the blacklist.
1.3:
Use flat text file for storing the logs instead of SharedPreferences. This is much better for performance, especially if the log gets long.
1.2:
The blacklist is now for activities.
You can enable/disable logging from within the app.
Added log viewer to the app. You can tap a log entry to directly add it to the blacklist.
Fixes.
1.1:
Fixes for the two icons appearing in the launcher.
Disable text correction when adding a blacklist item.
1.0:
Initial release.

I'm not really sure how that could be achieved. @[email protected]
The blacklist is good enough, but I feel like there's only going to be a handful of entries shared by specific people since people are morbidly afraid of logcat and I'm sure even more of filtering it.
Doesn't matter much in the end, I'm a happy user. Niche product for niche people?

Not sure where the issue lies, but that's usually what I use
ie:
adb logcat Xposed:V *:S
Show everything Xposed, hides everything else for instance. You can go fancy and do other things but if you're just looking to extract something real quick that will do.

EDIT: OUTDATED
Not sure if anyone else has been seeing a slight lag when selecting apps from Running Services, but blacklisting
Code:
com.android.settings.Settings$ManageApplicationsActivity
has solved it for me.
I got a bug report: If the launcher icon is hidden via your option you can't open the module from the module list because it says that your module doesn't have an UI. Reproducible.

I can confirm this. I was able to get back in by using System Tuner Pro to re-enable the Activity named Preferences Alias.

Not a bug, but rather personal preference. If anyone's ROM settings ever open a separate package (eg. to pull up an additional settings page), and you don't want that cluttering up your Recents, add this:

If you want to be able to upload a picture through Tapatalk. I imagine there's a billion other uses to it. Might break module functionality in some cases? *shrugs*

That'll basically nullify the module's effect when you don't have a default app set. (OUTDATED INFO)

Great idea. Would be nice if you clould find a way to detect apps which don't work and the blacklist could be removed

I can't find any reliable method
polobunny said:
The blacklist is good enough, but I feel like there's only going to be a handful of entries shared by specific people since people are morbidly afraid of logcat and I'm sure even more of filtering it.
Doesn't matter much in the end, I'm a happy user. Niche product for niche people?

I'm going to add a logger you can turn off and on when needed. Checking the logcat is better though because you sometimes need live input to decide (e.g. if an activity instantly launches another.)

But I got another bug: If the launcher icon is hidden via your option you can't open the module from the module list because it says that your module doesn't have an UI. Reproducible.

My fault, will be fixed in the next version.

Yeah that's what I thought too, because it grabs everything with a user choice. Still, Tapatalk is so weird it breaks on everything. @[email protected]
Someone tell me how to use it?

Read the first post. Everything is explained very clearly, GermainZ made it clear. If you still don't understand then this module is not for you.
You'll need to know how to use logcat at minimum.
I can already feel this making life easier. Thanks Dev!

Downloads
Head to the download page.
Sources
Github
Same as any ROM.
Do the necessary wipes and flash the ROM.
No wipes are needed between updates from Descendant itself, unless specified.
Listing all the additions would be a huge wall of text, that you wouldn't even read.
So, head over the Telegram group and feel free to lurk.
Preloaded applications
Google Apps are included.
Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?
Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.
Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

Download is only available by buying a token. Isn't that against 2 or 3 rules within the XDA rules?

Great custom ROM, But Anyone knows whether TWRP now can work well with Android 12 decryption?

Current TWRPs builds available are unable to decrypt 12 /data partition.
You can either use DFE zips (discouraged) to decrypt /data and make it readable or wait for a TWRP build capable of decrypt /data itself.
Having data encrypted isn't really a big deal if you plan to sideload ROMs and whatever zip you might need.
But it's your call !

This statement is false.
The matters regarding our download serving methods have been addressed directly by me with @MikeChannon multiple times over 10 and 11 Descendant's android cycle.
If any mod passing by has any doubt they can directly refer to him.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I tried on a laptop and another pc, not to mention the fact that the usage of chrome, edge and firefox, all with the same result. What's your secret ?

I now see where I went wrong: adblockers installed in my browsers. I hate, hate hate ads. Your demonstration shows a lot of them. I know what to do. Thanks for the effort!
Nice to see another A12 rom for this device. Does it support OTA?
Solid ROM. Thank you!!
Hi, the page for bugs is not working so I'm asking here:
When I plug in some headphones wired or bluetooth the system freezes. It solves by plugin out the headphones.
Anyone with the same bug? I cannot listen to music.
### Edit: Solved.
The problem was Google App. I had to update to the last Play Store version.
I found some minor problems in the ROM that needs to be improved:
1. The Notification menu is not smooth, sometimes it hangs with nothing appearing when swiping down.
2. The touch-sensitive is not good as MIUI. Sometimes, I need to touch two times to the icon to open the app.
Very nice to see A12 Descendant voor Poco X3. After I've passed the 168 hours waiting time (to unlock bootloader) this will be the first rom to install. Thanks devs!
