For gestures and automatic tasks (Cydia - Activator),Xposed Edge Pro is not that powerful as Activator, since it does not support inner screen gestures, PowerButton event, SMS content Event, etc. Tasker is even less powerful. Fingerprint Gestures works great on Android 9 with Admin access ('Behavior' - 'Lock now'). However on Android 8.0 Admin access renders bio-unlock inaccessible. To solve this, it has to change its 'Behavior' to 'Reduce timeout' and set 'Xposed Edge/App state/Fingerprint Gestures/get focus/Sleep/wake up/" to "Switch".

To modify statusbar (Cydia - Cloaky), make one's own SystemUI zip within MIUI theme mtz package.

To auto-change wallpaper (Cydia - Wallmart), use Xposed Edge Pro to execute shell command.

files=(/src/*)
filecount="${#files[@]}"
randomid=$((RANDOM % filecount))
filetomove="${files[$randomid]}"
cp "$filetomove" /data/system/theme/lock_wallpaper

For USB DAC, no global solution. Alternative ones include Hiby Music and USB Audio Player Pro(Supports DLNA, recommanded).
