Bring Back the Android 11 Power menu on Android 12/13/14 [Video]

In this guide, we will show you the steps to bring back the Android 11 Power menu on your device running Android 12/13/14. With the eleventh iteration of the OS build, one of the major talking points was the UI overhaul of the power menu. Apart from the usual reboot and restart, you could now control all your smart home appliances directly from this menu. Likewise, you could even add your payment cards and carry out transactions directly from this screen.

However, as the popular saying goes- good things don’t last long. Unfortunately, this was the case with this functionality as well. Beginning with Android 12, Google ditched this power menu and instead opted for a more minimalistic approach that only had a few basic options [Emergency, LockDown, Power off, and Restart]. But guess what, you could now bring back the Android 11 Power menu on your device running Android 12/13/14! Here’s how it could be done.

You could either simply install the APK, grant it the Magisk request, and set it up using the app itself or use the Xposed Framework to get this job done. In our testing, the latter method gave out a much better result. So let’s put it to the test using Xposed and check out the results.

  1. To begin with, you will have to root your device via Magisk.
  2. Next up, download and install Xposed Framework LSPosed.
  3. Now download and install the Classic Power Menu from GitHub.
  4. Then launch LSPosed, go to its Modules section, and enable Classic Power Menu.
  5. Now launch it and set it up as per your requirement via the on-screen instructions.

Moreover, there are a truckload of other goodies such as enabling Advanced Reboot [Recovery, Fasboot], blurring the background, Device Controls, etc, so do check them out as well. On that note, we round off this guide on how you could bring back the Android 11 Power menu on your device running Android 12/13.
