No other operating system for mobile phones is capable of giving as much possibilities of customization as we see and experience in Android. While other platforms are closed for custom development, Android is open source (to a certain level). We have thousands of developers who keep working to satisfy their quench to bring something new each day. We, as users, keep our eyes always open to anything that is interesting and compatible with our device.
Millions of enthusiastic users follow Android as passion. Playing with their device all the time, flashing ROMs and mods, trying new apps and customizing their device in the best possible and unique way— such things are their favorite pastime. If you are one who always seeks for new ways to play with the settings of your device to make it your own, today we have something worth giving a try for you.
This new and easy way of customizing your Samsung Galaxy device has come from the well-known developer Wanam who is recognised for his TouchWiz based ROMs for a range of Galaxy devices. His app, which is called Wanam Xposed works like a module that opens the gate to unlimited customization and tweaking options on any Galaxy device with root access and stock Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware. The module also works on TW based custom ROMs (testen on Omega).
Wanam’s app takes advantage of the famous Xposed Framework developed by rovo89 to give you complete control over your devices. It allows you to tweak various aspects of your Samsung Galaxy device by playing with hundreds of settings options related to notification panel, lockscreen, sound, phone, messaging, system, and security hacks.
Another interesting aspect of the Wanam Xposed module is that it lets you theme your Galaxy phone on stock ROM. You can determine the color and appearance of the items on the statusbar, quick settings panel and notification center. I played a little with some of the settings of the app and here is the result:

Will there be a Galaxy Note 2 version anytime soon? Thanks
Hopefully, yes! The app is currently in beta and with future updates we expect that more and more devices will be added to the compatibility list. Further, with Note 2 getting Android 4.2/3, will automatically be eligible. 🙂
Hi,
Wanam Xposed is not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S Advance running stock Jelly Bean, so the title is a bit misleading. 🙂 I am hankering for a mod which enables me to skip music tracks with the volume buttons, but it seems I have to wait…
Hi due to title length limitations we cannot mention everything there. You must have TouchWiz ROM with Android 4.2 with root access on your phone. I have clearly mentioned it in the article.
