A seemingly minor feature that Android lacks compares to iOS is the ability to scroll to the top of a list by simply double tapping on the status bar. Up until now, even custom ROMs could not bring this functionality to Android.

Thanks to the Xposed framework and the hard work of developer MohammadAG thoughAndroid users can finally enjoy the ability to scroll to the top of a list by tapping on the status bar via an Xposed module. Do note that the Xposed module only requires a single tap on the status bar to scroll to the top of a list and not a double tap.

Sadly, the Xposed module will not work across every app or list. More specifically, it will not work in Chrome and some of the OEMs based apps. If the latest version of the module does not work properly for you, make sure to try out the initial version as well.

The module will work on all Android devices running Android 4.1 or higher that have Xposed framework installed. If you are not yet using Xposed framework, here is quick guide on how to install it on your Android device.
