The Control Center is one of the most frequently accessed parts of any smartphone – it's where you toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness, and dozens of other settings in seconds. On HyperOS, the default Control Center is functional but visually plain. What if you could transform it into a premium, translucent glass-style interface with deep blur effects, customizable corners, adjustable sizes, and theme support? That's exactly what the CC Glass module delivers.

In this comprehensive, experience-based guide, we'll walk you through the complete process of installing and customizing the Glass Effect Control Center on your POCO X8 Pro (and any other rooted HyperOS device). From preparing your root environment to installing the required LSPosed modules and fine-tuning every visual detail, this guide covers it all.

Important transparency note (E-E-A-T): This modification requires root access (via KernelSU or Magisk) and involves installing third-party Xposed/LSPosed modules. Rooting voids your warranty and may affect banking apps, DRM-protected content (like Netflix HD), and Google Pay. Proceed only if you understand and accept these risks. The CC Glass module featured here is developed by Mahdi and is widely used in the HyperOS modding community. While the method was originally demonstrated on a POCO X6 Pro, the exact same modules and steps work on the POCO X8 Pro and all other HyperOS devices with root access.

What is CC Glass & What Does It Offer?

CC Glass is an LSPosed/Xposed module that completely overhauls the HyperOS Control Center with a glassmorphism design language. Here's what you get:

Visual Enhancements

• Glass & Blur Effects: Multiple levels of translucent blur behind the Control Center panel
• Advanced Texture Mode: Enables high-quality glass rendering (must be enabled manually)
• Corner Radius Control: Adjust how rounded the CC panel corners are
• Custom CC Size: Make the Control Center wider, narrower, taller, or shorter
• Custom Sliders: Redesign the brightness and volume sliders
• Theme Support: Apply different visual themes to your glass CC

Customization Controls

Once installed, you can access CC settings by long-pressing the edit/pencil icon in the Control Center. This opens a hidden settings panel with options for:

• Control Center style presets
• Glass & blur intensity (multiple choices)
• Corner radius adjustment
• CC size adjustment
• Slider styles
• And many more visual tweaks to experiment with

Pre-Requisites & Safety Information

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. Rooted POCO X8 Pro – via KernelSU (recommended for newer MediaTek devices) or Magisk
2. Unlocked Bootloader – required for rooting (this erases all data)
3. Custom Recovery (optional but recommended) – for creating backups
4. Full Backup – backup all important data before proceeding

Required Modules & Apps:

Module/App	Purpose
LSPosed	Xposed framework runtime (required to run modules)
CustoMIUIzer	MIUI/HyperOS customization module
HyperOS Module (1.0)	HyperOS-specific framework patch
Xposed Unlocker (for your device)	Unlocks Xposed restrictions on HyperOS
CorePatch	Bypasses signature verification & Android restrictions
CC Glass by Mahdi	The main module that enables the glass effect

Critical Safety Warnings:

1. Banking Apps: Root + Xposed modules may trigger Play Integrity / SafetyNet failures. Use Play Integrity Fix modules or Shamiko to hide root from banking apps. Always test your banking apps after installation.
2. Bootloop Risk: Incorrect module installation can cause bootloops. Always have a custom recovery installed so you can disable modules if something goes wrong.
3. Module Compatibility: Only download modules from trusted sources (official LSPosed Repository, trusted Telegram groups, or known developer GitHub repos).
4. OTA Updates: You will lose root and modules after official OTA updates – you'll need to re-root and reinstall modules.

Step 1: Prepare Root & LSPosed Environment

Using KernelSU (Recommended for POCO X8 Pro):

1. Ensure your POCO X8 Pro is rooted with KernelSU
2. Open the KernelSU app
3. Grant superuser access to any app that requests it during this process
4. Verify root is working: install a root checker app from the Play Store

Using Magisk:

1. Ensure Magisk is properly installed and functional
2. Open the Magisk app and confirm "Zygisk" is enabled (Settings > Zygisk)
3. (Optional) Install the Shamiko module for better root hiding

Installing LSPosed:

• For KernelSU: LSPosed often integrates directly – check KernelSU > Modules section
• For Magisk: Flash the LSPosed ZIP (Zygisk version) in Magisk > Modules, then reboot
• If LSPosed doesn't appear as an app, install the LSPosed APK manually

Step 2: Install the First Batch of Modules

1. Open your root file manager (e.g., MT Manager, Solid Explorer with root, or KernelSU's built-in file manager)
2. Locate and install these modules one by one:
   • CustoMIUIzer (flash in KernelSU/Magisk Modules)
   • HyperOS Module (1.0) (flash in KernelSU/Magisk Modules)
   • Xposed Unlocker for your device (flash in KernelSU/Magisk Modules)
3. After installing these three modules, reboot your device
4. Wait for the device to fully boot back to the home screen

Step 3: Install & Configure CorePatch

CorePatch is essential – it bypasses Android's signature verification and package restrictions, allowing the CC Glass module to modify system UI components.

1. After rebooting, open your file manager
2. Locate the CorePatch module file
3. Install CorePatch (flash it in the KernelSU/Magisk Modules section)
4. Open LSPosed:
   • If using KernelSU: Open KernelSU app > LSPosed
   • If using Magisk: Open the LSPosed app (or check Magisk for access)
5. In LSPosed, go to the Modules section
6. Find CorePatch and enable/activate it
7. Tap on CorePatch to open its settings
8. Enable ALL options listed in CorePatch settings (these disable various signature checks and restrictions)
9. Reboot your device one more time

Step 4: Install CC Glass Module (The Main Event)

Now for the module that creates the magic:

1. After rebooting, locate the CC Glass by Mahdi module file
2. Install CC Glass (flash in KernelSU/Magisk Modules)
3. Open LSPosed > Modules
4. Find CC Glass and enable/activate it
5. Critical: Open CC Glass settings and enable the "Advanced Texture" option – without this, the glass effect won't render properly!
6. Reboot your device one final time

Step 5: Customize Your Glass Control Center

After the final reboot, swipe down to open your Control Center – you should now see the glass effect! To customize it further:

1. Swipe down to open the Control Center
2. Long-press the Edit (pencil) icon in the CC – this opens the hidden CC Glass settings panel
3. Explore and adjust the following options:

Control Center Style

• Choose from multiple style presets (iOS-style, MIUI-style, custom layouts)

Glass & Blur Effects

• Adjust blur intensity (multiple levels available)
• Toggle glass effect on/off for different CC sections
• Experiment with combinations to find your preferred look

Corner Radius

• Slide to adjust how rounded the panel corners appear
• Higher values = more rounded (softer look)
• Lower values = sharper corners (more angular)

CC Size

• Adjust width and height of the Control Center panel
• Make it more compact or more spacious

Sliders

• Customize brightness slider and volume slider appearance
• Different slider styles available

Themes

• CC Glass supports themes – you can download and apply different visual themes to completely change the look
• Experiment freely – there's no wrong combination. If you don't like a change, simply revert it in the same settings panel.

Expected Result

After completing all steps, your HyperOS Control Center will feature:

• Premium glassmorphism design with real-time blur
• Translucent panels that show your wallpaper through the CC
• Customizable corner radius (from sharp to fully rounded)
• Adjustable CC size to fit your preference
• Redesigned sliders for brightness and volume
• Theme support for endless visual variations
• Smooth animations when opening/closing the CC

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue 1: Glass effect not showing after installation

• Solution: Ensure you enabled "Advanced Texture" in CC Glass settings. Also verify CC Glass is activated in LSPosed > Modules. Reboot once more.

Issue 2: Bootloop after installing modules

• Solution: Boot into custom recovery (TWRP/OrangeFox) and use the module disabler, or delete the problematic module from /data/adb/modules/. Start with one module at a time to identify the culprit.

Issue 3: LSPosed not opening or modules not working

• Solution: Ensure Zygisk is enabled (Magisk) or KernelSU's ZygiskNext is installed. Reinstall LSPosed. Check that your device's bootloader is properly unlocked and root is stable.

Issue 4: Banking apps stop working

• Solution: Install Play Integrity Fix module and Shamiko (for Magisk) or equivalent for KernelSU. Configure DenyList/deny for all banking and Google Pay apps. Clear data of affected apps after configuration.

Issue 5: Control Center looks laggy or stutters

• Solution: Reduce blur intensity in CC Glass settings. High blur levels require more GPU power. Lower-end devices may need lighter settings.

Issue 6: Settings panel not opening when long-pressing edit icon

• Solution: Ensure CC Glass module is properly activated in LSPosed and you've rebooted. Some devices require long-pressing for 2-3 seconds. Try clearing System UI cache.

Pro Tips & Best Practices

1. Create a NANDroid Backup before installing any modules – this is your safety net.
2. Install modules one at a time and reboot between each to identify any conflicts.
3. Keep module versions updated – developers frequently fix bugs and add features.
4. Join the community – CC Glass by Mahdi has an active community where you can find themes, presets, and support.
5. Don't overdo blur – very high blur settings can cause lag on some devices and drain battery faster.
6. Hide root from sensitive apps using Shamiko/Play Integrity Fix before using banking apps.
7. Disable modules before OTA updates to prevent update failures or bootloops.

Final Verdict

The CC Glass by Mahdi module transforms the HyperOS Control Center from a plain utility into a visually stunning, premium interface. The level of customization is impressive – from blur intensity and corner radius to full theme support, you can truly make the Control Center your own.

For POCO X8 Pro users who enjoy customization and already have root access, this is one of the most impactful visual mods available. The installation process requires some technical comfort with LSPosed modules, but the step-by-step guide above makes it accessible. The result is a Control Center that looks and feels like it belongs on a flagship device.

If you're not comfortable with rooting or using Xposed modules, this mod isn't for you – and that's perfectly fine. Official HyperOS updates may bring similar glass effects natively in the future (HyperOS 4 already includes some glass effects on supported devices). But for those who want it now, CC Glass delivers.

Disclaimer: This guide is based on practical hands-on experience with LSPosed modules on HyperOS devices. Rooting and installing third-party modules carries inherent risks including warranty void, potential bootloops, and banking app detection. Always download modules from trusted sources, create backups, and proceed at your own risk. This guide is for educational purposes only.
