Android 13 Custom ROM List: Unofficially update your Android smartphone!

Android 13 is making the rounds everywhere now. If you have a recent-ish Google Pixel smartphone, you should already have your taste of the latest iteration of Android. This update to Android may be considered incremental in nature, but that in no way diminishes the improvements it brings to the table. Nonetheless, unless you have a supported Google Pixel device or one of the few non-Google smartphones with a “Developer Preview” program, there’s a very good chance that you will have to wait for a few months to have your OEM send across the latest dessert onto your phone.

This is where XDA’s developer community comes in — groups of talented individuals working together to achieve the common cause of getting the latest Android onto devices before the OEM can, and in many cases, because the OEM can’t.

With a large number of official as well as unofficial builds of Android 13-based custom ROMs popping up, we felt it would be a good idea to create an index of devices that have Android 13 ports available for them. Do note that these are aftermarket builds and some will very likely contain bugs. Please read the first few posts of each linked thread so you know the current status of the build before flashing it on your phone.

Note: In this article, we will only be providing a link to the first Android 13 custom ROM that we come across for a particular device in our forums. This does not serve as an endorsement of that particular build, nor are we suggesting that the work of others should be ignored. We are limiting what we link to in order to prevent this article from becoming too lengthy. Please visit the XDA forums for your device to see if there are other, possibly more complete, builds available.

These are the best Xposed modules in 2022: GravityBox, Pixelify, XPrivacyLua, and more!

If you just recently picked up Android modding, then you probably don’t really know about the Xposed Framework. With root access, the framework hooks into ART (the Android runtime) and lets add-ons, called Xposed modules, execute their own methods before, during, or in place of the original methods of the target application. As a result, you can customize the way your phone looks and how it behaves without installing a custom ROM.

While Xposed is not the hot topic in the Android modding scene as it once used to be, a lot of users still love it. The framework opens up your phone to a huge selection of granular customizations. If you’re getting started or need some fresh Xposed mods, we’ve got a great list for you. Feel free to add your comments and suggestions in the comments section at the bottom of this article.

Back in the day, before Magisk became a thing, Xposed was designed to replace a few core parts of the Android OS to enable usermode hooking. Thanks to the open source nature of the original project, third-party developers took it upon themselves to rewrite the Xposed Framework as a Magisk module. This means Xposed can now be systemless on modern Android platforms.

EdXposed and LSPosed are two of the most popular forks of the legacy Xposed Framework that are compatible with latest Android releases. In case you don’t want to root your device, you can still use some Xposed modules though the VirtualXposed project, but your mileage may vary. Take a look at the linked threads to know more about the setup instructions.

As we’ve mentioned, Xposed itself merely provides an interface, through which add-ons (aka Xposed modules) can dynamically hook into the execution routine of other apps and modify the outcome on the fly. Some modules have apps that allow you to tweak settings and customize various parameters. Other modules will simply apply the tweak with no extras.


Best Xposed modules

The total number of Xposed modules out there is much larger than that of Magisk’s, but many of them aren’t maintained anymore. Moreover, due to the rapid evolution of Android as an operating system, some modules have become redundant over time, hence they are no longer compatible with modern Android versions. With all that in mind, let’s learn a little more about the best ones.

Note: In this article, we will only be covering a handful of Xposed modules that are still popular among the modding community. This does not serve as an endorsement of those modules, nor are we suggesting that the work of others should be ignored. Please visit the XDA sub-forum for Xposed Framework and third-party sources to see if there are alternate (and possibly more versatile) modules available.

How to install an Xposed module?

When it comes to distributing an Xposed module, maintainers generally offer the compiled version in the form of a regular APK file. You can find some Xposed modules on the Google Play Store, while others can be downloaded directly from the Releases section of the corresponding GitHub repository. Moreover, LSPosed developers offer a centralized module repository (which is the spiritual successor to the original Xposed Module Repository), through which one can download as well as update the modules.

LSPosed module download

Downloading a Xposed module through LSPosed Module Repository

Since an Xposed module is nothing but a standard APK file, you can manually install it using ADB, or by following our Android apps sideloading guide. In case you’re planning to grab them from a module repository, make sure to follow the on-screen instructions carefully to perform the installation.


Xposed used to be one of XDA’s favorite modifications, and you can still do a lot of interesting things with its modules. If you’ve been waiting to expand your current ROM’s functionality and reclaim the features you lost through Xposed Framework, make sure to head to the aforementioned forum threads to experiment and discuss — just remember to be careful and use the search button beforehand for good measure.

WhatsApp now blocks screenshots of View Once media

WhatsApp is rolling out a fresh update for the Android app on the beta channel, and it brings one of the new privacy that Mark Zuckerberg announced this August. The feature in question blocks users from taking screenshots of ‘View Once’ media on the platform, finally making the feature useful over a year after its debut.

According to WABetaInfo, this change is rolling out with version 2.22.22.3 of WhatsApp for Android on the beta channel. It is currently available for a few beta testers, and it blocks both screenshots of View Once images and screen recordings of View Once videos. As you can see in the attached screenshot, it shows a new toast message when a recipient attempts to take a screenshot of View Once media, stating, “Can’t take screenshots due to security policy.

WABetaInfo adds that even if someone is able to bypass the security measures to take a screenshot or screen recording, the resulting image or video appears black. Sadly, the feature still doesn’t alert the sender of an attempted screenshot or screen recording. It also doesn’t prevent recipients from taking a photo or video of View Once media using a secondary device, so you should use the feature with caution.

As mentioned earlier, the change is currently live for a few users in WhatsApp for Android on the beta channel. We don’t have any information from WhatsApp regarding the stable release, but we expect it to reach more users in the coming weeks.

Do you use WhatsApp’s View Once feature to share disappearing media? Would you use the feature when it starts blocking screenshots and screen recordings? Let us know in the comments section below.

These are the best keyboard apps for Android in 2022: Gboard, Swiftkey, Chrooma, and more!

The keyboard is probably one of the most used apps on any Android device, and possibly also one of the most underappreciated ones. Most of the time, you’ll be perfectly content with the keyboard that comes pre-installed on your device. But that’s until you discover that there are so many awesome keyboards out there that can really take your typing experience to the next level. It’s easy to become complacent with what comes pre-installed and stick with it forever — even if it’s not the best option. But why settle for something mediocre?

We’ve compiled a list of the best keyboard apps Android has to offer to help you type faster, with less effort, and also look good while at it. These keyboards have years of experience and user feedback behind them. They know their job very well. Besides offering to correct your spelling mistakes, they also suggest the right words at the right time, and some of them even automatically fetch one-time-passwords from your SMS app and offer a wide range of customizations.

Navigate this article:

Gboard

Gboard used to be a pretty vanilla keyboard, but steady feature additions and improvements over the past couple of years have made it one of the best in the business. Accurate word predictions, smooth glide typing, nifty gesture controls for cursor and deletion, Google Assistant and Google Translate integration, and multilingual typing are some of the main reasons why Gboard should be your default keyboard. Since it’s a Google app, it’s always getting better.

Using Gboard in Google Search app to search for the term XDA Gboard quick settings: theme, clipboard, text editing, One-handed mode, Floating keyboard Gboard stickers

There’s a neat Emoji Kitchen feature that lets you merge two emojis to create unique stickers, while on devices running Android 12 and above the keyboard can now sync its theme with your wallpaper. The sluggishness and laggy experience that many users had complained about are gone too. It’s now as fast and smooth as it can get.

Microsoft Swiftkey

Swiftkey — now Microsoft Swiftkey — has been around since the old days of Android and remains the most versatile and feature-packed keyboard you can get on the Google Play Store. Customization is the name of the game with Swiftkey, and there are tons of options and controls to really make your keyboard your very own.

Typing in Google Keep with Swiftkey Swiftkey's quick settings: themes, modes, incognito, resize, autocorrect, settings, etc. Swiftkey's various keyboard layouts

The thing I like the most about Swiftkey is that all essentials are accessible right from the keyboard. Like Gboard, it also has a quick access bar at the top with shortcuts for GIFs, stickers, clipboard, and translator. The word predictions and auto-correct is a little behind that of Gboard but hopefully this will continue to get better over time.

Chrooma

If there was ever an RGB equivalent of PC keyboards on Android, it would have to be Chrooma. Chrooma’s main attraction is that it adapts to the primary color scheme of the app you’re using. It turns green when texting in WhatsApp, orange while in Gmail, and so on. It comes with dozens of skins and color palettes, including a cool RGB theme. There’s never a dull moment while using this keyboard.

If you ever get bored of the monotonous look of Gboard or your stock keyboard, this is the one that will refresh your typing experience. Besides colors and adaptive themes, Chrooma also has an extensive set of useful features, including gesture typing, AI-powered contextual word predictions, One Hand Mode, split layout, Night Mode, and many more.

Chrooma is available for free on the Play Store. However many of the fancy features require a premium version. Give it a shot by hitting the link below.

Fleksy

Fleksy has everything and the kitchen sink. Its autocorrect game is solid, and the clean design will make you feel right at home if you’re coming from Gboard. Apart from offering all keyboard essentials, Fleksy has some unique add-on features, called Extensions, that you’ll not find in other keyboard apps. You can add a row of the most frequently used emoji, symbols, URLs, etc.; make the keyboard completely invisible; add cool typing effects; create shortcuts for words and phrases, and so on.

Setting up Fleksy keyboard Various themes of Fleksy keyboard Fleksy keyboard extensions

Fleksy also offers what it refers to it as mini-apps, which lets you browse and share GIFs, memes, stickers, YouTube videos, etc., right from the keyboard. Fleksy has over 100+ themes designed by popular artists, and you can also create your own using a photo from your gallery or Unsplash library.

Grammarly Keyboard

Many of us have the Grammarly extension installed in our PC browser to keep our emails and writing free from grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. The Grammarly Keyboard brings the same peace of mind to your phone. Sure, it’s not the most feature-packed keyboard out there, and you’ll miss out on stickers, GIFs, themes, etc. But that’s not the reason to use Grammarly Keyboard in the first place. Grammarly Keyboard is for those who care about language and grammar above anything else.

Grammarly Keyboard correcting a spelling mistake in a sentence Grammarly Keyboard language settings: Tone detection, Auto-correction, Auto-capitalization, Swipe to Type, Predictive Text, etc. Grammarly Keyboard settings: Theme, Key borders, Number row, Keyboard height etc.

Grammarly’s dead-accurate grammar and spell checker will catch most, if not all, of your embarrassing mistakes while also showing you the correct form and usage, so you learn from it and hopefully don’t repeat them. The free version of Grammarly Keyboard gets the job done for casual usage. There’s a premium subscription plan for more serious use cases that provides suggestions on more advanced grammatical issues, tone detection, word choice, fluency, and more.

Grammarly - Grammar Keyboard (Free, Google Play) →

Simple Keyboard

Simple Keyboard is, well, very simple. It’s a truism, but it’s worth stating because that’s what the Simple Keyboard is all about. It gives you a simple, clutter-free keyboard that doesn’t bombard you with gimmicky features or ask you to hand over your data to “improve your experience.” It weighs about 1MB in size and doesn’t ask for any sensitive permission — in fact, it only needs single permission: for haptic feedback.

Using Simple Keyboard in Google Keep Simple Keyboard Appearance & Layouts: Theme, Set custom keyboard color, keyboard height, etc. Simple Keyboard preferences: Auto capitalization, SHow seperate number row, Hide special characters, etc.

Since simplicity, privacy and speed are the main focus points here, the keyboard does away with features like emojis, GIFs, spell checker, and gesture typing. It’s not for mainstream users, but those who care deeply about privacy will certainly find this a great choice.

These are the best Android keyboard apps that will help you type faster, better, and with less effort. Which keyboard you should pick from the list is your own personal decision. There’s no one size fits all — although some come quite close to it — we’re pretty sure you’ll definitely find your soul keyboard among our recommendations. My personal favorite is Gboard, and I use it on all my Android phones. When I get bored, I also take Chrooma and Fleksy for a spin from time to time.

Whatever keyboard app you end up picking, be sure to give your brain some time to adjust to a new keyboard, as it will take a few days to unlearn the old habits you developed with your old keyboard. If you’re looking for more recommendations, we also recommend these great Android apps, and these amazing Android games.

PlayStation 5 jailbreak for older firmware released

After nearly two years on the market, modders have been able to jailbreak the PlayStation 5. While this is exciting news for some, the exploit is still in its infancy which means there is still a lot of work to be done to make it stable. The news was announced by security researcher SpecterDev, who has, in the past, released firmware exploits for the PlayStation 4. The new experimental WebKit-based kernel exploit currently works with firmware version 4.03 for the PlayStation 5. It is not compatible with newer firmware versions, though it is possible that it will be backported to older ones.

According to the GitHub page, the exploit was created using previous work by the TheFloW, otherwise known as Andy Nguyen, who has in the past contributed to exploits for the PlayStation 4 and is better know for his contributions to the PlayStation Vita community. The new exploit will grant users root access and also to the console’s debug menu. With both of these options unlocked, those that are curious are now free to tinker with the console’s inner workings. For the time being, due to the limitations of the exploit, users will be able to install but not run PKG files.

If you’re curious about the exploit, but you don’t have a PlayStation 5 to test it on, you can check out the video above. Modder Lance McDonald showcases the exploit by going through the installation process, showing off the debug menu, and installing a PKG file for a game. But the video concludes prior to the modder running the game because, as mentioned before, that is not possible at this time. But, this is just the first step, and now, with the gates open and the research available to the public, it will only be a matter of time before more and more exploits for the console start surfacing. Sony will no doubt be keeping an eye on this. There are still a number of limitations though, according to SpecterDev:

  • The exploit is unstable and doesn’t work all of the time. It will take several attempts to get it to run properly, and once it does, make sure you exit using the circle button instead of the PlayStation button.
  • The exploit provides read and write access, but no execution access. This means it’s not possible to run applications currently, though memory manipulation is currently possible.

In light of this news, it might be an interesting time to pick up the new console, but Sony has recently announced that it was raising the price of its consoles in some regions. While this was a surprise to many, the company stated that it was a “necessity” due to global inflation and currency fluctuations having to do with exchange rates.

XDA Senior Technical Editor Adam Conway‘s take: While this exploit is currently limited in nature, it is often the case that this additional access gained on an older firmware version can open the door for exploits in later versions of the firmware, or can at least show modders some of the secrets of how things work under the hood. The same happened on the Nintendo 3DS, where exploits found in older firmware versions allowed modders better access to the inner workings of the system. From there, the floodgates were opened, even if it took some time.

If you have a PlayStation 5 on a newer firmware version and you want to emulate games or run homebrew, don’t lose hope just yet. As the PlayStation 5 scene advances, efforts on older versions will help further an overall understanding of the console’s inner workings. There are still things that modders don’t understand about the system yet, which is why even this exploit is so limited. With time, understanding of the system will only grow.
