Get Android N features with Xposed module AndroidN-ify

This Xposed module offers a good set of Android N features, including quick access to the most recent application by double-tapping the multitasking button; night mode; notification, shortcuts and information on the lock screen; and Doze with the screen off.

You’ll need a device running Android 5.0 or better; in this XDA thread you’ll find information on how to install Xposed on Marshmallow or Lolli

To download the AndroidN-ify module, use the Xposed Installer and search for it by name; once you’ve installed it, activate it in the Xposed Installer and restart your device. Once your device restarts it’ll have lots of nifty new N features for you to play with.

Multi-window

There are several apps that deliver a similar (but not identical) multi-window effect to Android N, with applications floating in boxes like a cross between widgets and desktop apps. The two most interesting apps are Floating Apps Free - Multitask and C Floating. Floating Apps FREE – multitask  , C Floating

Notifications

With Floatify you can make notifications behave much as they do in Android N. Notifications appear on the lock screen and you can reply or access shortcuts with a quick swipe. Floatify - Quick Replies

Night Mode

What looks great in the daytime can be a bit too bright in the dark, so Android N’s night mode changes the screen tones to make everything a little warmer when the sun goes down. There’s some evidence that warmer screen temperatures - essentially making whites move from bluish to yellowish tints - don’t mess with our sleep as much as colder, more blue displays. Here are some of the best apps to make your Android easier on your eyes at night.

Bring up the last-used app

In Android N, double-tapping on the multitasking button launches the most recently used application. With Easy App Switcher a floating button does the same job. Alternatively you could install LAS: Last App Switcher. .
