Search giant Google released the Android P Developer Preview on March 7 for its Pixel series of devices. Speaking of which, Google, unfortunately, ended support for its Nexus 6P and 5X which I personally think they shouldn’t have done so, well, at least for the highly acclaimed 6P. Android P-ify Xposed module brings Android p features to any Android device running Android 8.1 Oreo.
Android P brings with it a slew of changes and features such as security improvements, improved messaging, a multi-camera API, new quick settings icons, a slightly revamped status bar with the clock located to the top left-hand side, rounded edges for the dock and other system dialogs and menus, colorful icons in the settings page, new and improved screenshot feature, support for display cutouts and more. Just in case you want to know precisely what’s new in Android P, we have already covered a whole bunch of visual changes in Android P.
Now, coming to the point, let’s focus on how to get Android P features on a device with Android 8.1 Oreo installed. Yes, you read it right, now you can get Android P features on your Android 8.1 device with an Xposed module called Android P-ify, all thanks to XDA Developers senior member paphonb for such a wonderful Xposed module. The Xposed module aims to bring all of the visual changes that are currently available on Android P DP1. The features available in this module are listed below.
