The more I use and read on Android M, more my desire to grow the system reaches the time of final release as brands begin to upgrade their terminals to it. However, much it remains to do, and will have to wait longer for their market share is considerable. The changes introduced have been requested for a long time, but really talking about simple functions , who also were unknown for advanced users and used to dealing with the root Xposed access and custom ROMs. I leave a list of utilities with which you can replicate some of the best features of Android M.



  • System permissions . Personally, I think it is the function that more will benefit many users, and has a direct impact on battery consumption and, above all, in our privacy management. In this case, I have several recommendations. If you have a smartphone with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which is still the case for many users, I recommend App Ops, which is a direct access to a secret that Google function implemented in this version. If you are in Kit Kat or Lollipop, you will have to rootear to access the function. If you are Xposed Framework users, I recommend installing the module XPrivacy.

  • Better energy management and control app : With Android M Doze, a function which monitors opens the mobile enters deep sleep effectively, which greatly reduces the idle power consumption. Added as a control mode manageable by user application is also included. That is, we can choose what we want apps that use the new system and hibernate and which are not. It is a feature that reminds Greenify, you can now install on your phone

  • Better not disturb mode . In Lollipop there a way to avoid interruptions, but it was not as advanced as we have seen in iOS or Android customization layers. Android M has been improved and is very customizable, but can also be in earlier versions of the system with applications like Silence, do not bother!.

  • Mode actual silence and extended controls : Before Lollipop we could put the phone completely silent, that is, without you even the vibration is activated when we received notifications. Now with Android M becomes the muting, and I like to remind you that in Lollipop can also mute if we help applications like SoundHUD. With Xposed we can install the True Silent Mode module.
  • Management application assigned to links : Android M solves the problem we’ve always had in Android selecting the default applications. It has now been integrated into the system a feature that recognizes the links and maps directly to applications, and is controllable by the user. It is very good and we avoid unnecessary clicks or taps. If you want to enjoy something like that in earlier systems, you must install Fliktu for that and for the rest of their amazing functions.

As you can see, you can replicate quite as certain functions of Android M . If we have a ROM like CyanogenMod, probably contáseis with these and other options for some time, and I think the community should thank a lot of innovation we see in Android . In fact, I consider that Android M brings a level of customization that the community has shown with ROMs. A milestone.
