[Xposed] Note 3 UPSM Emergency Mode — Version 3.4.1

The S5 UPSM & Emergency Mode uses the same apk files and in fact are basically the same in terms of power saving function apart from minor differences like torch, siren, etc. Apart from android permission restrictions and missing system codes, it was difficult porting UPSM because it is tied to SystemUI & SecSettings. Porting SystemUI and SecSettings poses stability issues on the Note 3 not to mention the amount of work fixing the bugs.

Note 3 UPSM Emergency Mode

So the easiest solution I could come up with is using Xposed Framework and because I did not want to modify framework files, I have to rewrite the Emergency Launcher from scratch to not depend on the missing system codes. And because I did not port SystemUI and SecSettings I avoid the stability issues but at the expense of not getting the perfect UI for UPSM port. So please understand that this module is not perfect due to those limitations but in terms of the core power saving function, I would say it is basically the same as in the S5. I have been using it for a few days and so far it lives up to its promise of power saving. So enough talk, let go to what you are after.
Note: When in UPSM or Emergency Mode, you may want to run an app that has been disabled or is not included in the allowed list. You can re-enable the disabled app and run it by going to Settings>Apps Manager and go the application details of the app and Tap on the app icon.

Requirements:

Rooted Note 3 N9005 with XXUFNF4 Rom (this is the only firmware I tested it on so I don't know if it will work on other devices/roms. I won't recommend using it on other devices/roms but I can't stop you) Working Xposed Framework and knowledge using it.

Very Important: Make a backup of your data and ROM.

In the module installation, TYPE 1 is for those with older Kitkat firmware (recommended for non-N9005 modesls) and TYPE 2 is for those with newer Kitkat firmware like N9005 with NF4, GNG1, NG2 firmware but may also work on other models that received Kitkat updates lately. When in UPSM or Emergency Mode, double tap on status bar will show dialog to disable UPSM or Emergency Mode. This is useful for users who want to test the module and experience Emergency Launcher crash so they can get out of UPSM/EmergencyMode state without needing to factory reset.

As the mod relies on the Xposed Framework, please do not deactivate the module or xposed framework when you are in UPSM mode as there is no way to turn off UPSM except a factory reset in recovery which means you may lose your data.
NOTE: The core function of the MOD is TOTALLY FREE. There is just one function which you may not need if you are only after what UPSM is intended for - that is adding more apps to UPSM needs an unlock key. Hope you understand - I am doing self-study on android development so funds from the unlock key would help me in buying study materials for further development. 
Unlock Key: Get unlock key from Play Store 

Disclaimer: Use of the MOD is at your own RISK and I am not responsible for any loss/harm that may arise in its use.
