There are more and more smart phone users from parents and even grandparents, but the function options of the touch screen machine are too many and the buttons are too small. It is obviously unrealistic to imagine that the machine can be directly used by parents after it is bought. Before《 The choice of parents' computers, a big review of the elderly's desktop 》A wave of special elderly desktop apps have been recommended, but they still have too many restrictions. Therefore, this article will introduce various customized apps for parents' computers and the processing methods of using the Android Aoyi Xposed framework according to the degree of frustration.
Convenient suits
Hammer desktop package, the Hammer ROM with a 12 grid desktop, has been criticized as an old people's desktop ever since it came out. No matter what the original design purpose of Lao Luo is, a series of apps such as "Hammer Desktop+Dial+SMS+Alarm Clock" are really suitable for the use of the previous generation of users because of its characteristics such as virtual and simplified logic.
There is no need to worry about the quality of the Hammer series app. Although the installation package is surprisingly large and eats memory and performance, it is better not to ask for permissions indiscriminately and there is no advertising. There is no need to be afraid of messing up the settings, because the settings and functions can be seen at a glance. It is suitable for mobile phones with abundant performance and certain parents of the system appearance.
Ruyi series perpetual calendars, calculators, alarm clocks and notepads are derivatives of Ruyi elderly desktop, which can run independently. They are pure blooded apps designed for elderly computers, which are much simpler than the hammer series. Its characteristics can be summarized as follows: the font is greatly enlarged, the color blocks are bright, a large number of icons are also converted into more familiar characters of the previous generation, and the initial state can be restored by clicking the return key continuously, without confusing the settings.
The old almanac has a traditional one day lunar calendar page, which can be viewed by week and month
The calculator "highly imitates" the real object, and also supports voice broadcast and skin replacement
The alarm clock has hourly alarm, medication reminder, various vibration and voice setting modes
Notepad can also be used for voice input and reading aloud
Minimal tool class
One plus weather and Xiaowo weather, there is no advertising, no additional functions, and the information has been greatly simplified. The weather is more beautiful, but Xiaowo Weather has really reached the limit of weather application. Unless you enter the setting item, the default status is only one page. After you have seen the 5-day weather forecast, there will be no more
The Chinese lunar calendar specifically refers to the version before 3.0 (you can find the old version for installation in Peapod and App Pool), and the later version is changed to the design specification of native Android, which has no original effect. It can be regarded as a high-level version of Ruyi Perpetual Calendar, with a volume of only a few hundred kilobytes, no background residence and no advertising. The only "defect" is that you can jump to the wiki page in the daily "Today in History". The previous generation may be confused when clicking it.
MIUI camera, which is an app extracted by netizens in the prehistoric era of MIUI V3 (around 2011). There is no stroke gesture and no hiding function. The most perfect thing is that it also supports full screen shutter. After shooting, click the picture to automatically focus and take a picture. However, some machines may be flattened by the camera, and because they were born in prehistoric times, they do not have HDR function
Self commissioning required
The system and WeChat font adjustment are actually the most practical and basic, but they are often forgotten. Here's a more detailed explanation. The system font size will generally appear in "Settings - Display - Font Size", and some models will have the option to adjust the graphic size. The font of WeChat is adjusted in "Settings - General - Font Size".
EX dialing is also used by many users. It is totally different from the minimalist app above. It is a geek oriented app with quite a few custom projects. The above is the effect after the author adjusted it. It has more functions than the dials provided by the elderly's desktop, but it is not confusing. The only cost is that we need to adjust it properly.
Simple music, a lightweight app with a volume of just over 100k, can only select music file directory, skip songs and pause on the main page, and the functions displayed by menu buttons can be customized. As long as the song directory is set and all irrelevant function buttons are turned off in the "user interface", you can get a music app that can only listen to songs and is not afraid of chaos. Run to the Internet and download a bunch of Goethe mobile phones that match the age and taste of the target users.
System level adjustment
Big Widget and BigFont are used to force the system font to enlarge. The limit fonts of the native system and many domestic ROMs may not be large enough, so it's time to rely on them to support the scene. After root, you can quickly adjust the font size. Of course, even without root, they can take effect by restarting the phone.
App setting， This is an old plug-in in the Xposed framework. It is well known that it has powerful functions, such as resident memory, disabling notification, forced control of direction and priority. In this case, we can adjust the DPI at the top, and adjust the running in according to the situation of the mobile phone itself. After that, even ordinary applications can show the appearance of the elderly machine, which is almost a universal tool.
As for the method of root and XP framework, you can directly search for root and XP framework in the forum according to "model+forum", and you can find the tutorials of almost all models. Of course, the premise is that your model has been launched for more than 3 months, otherwise there may be no resources. If you have problems with these applications, please come to the following discussion area to ask questions.
