My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

The first one should be obvious (wireless) and the third one is GPS.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.
Hi XDAs
How can I set all widgets on my home screens to transparent in a simple way?
Please don't post me this link.
Rooted N5, stock, 4.4.2.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Simple way? Find widget replacements from the Play Store that offer transparent options. Other than that, the link you said you don't want to do would be it. Sometimes you gotta put in effort to get what you want, unfortunately. There's no magic transparent widget option. First world problems, right?

Thx 4 ur answer. I make many efforts and take always the time to mod my system! The problem with this link is that not all apps are available and if there is a new version of a specific app you can do the process again and again.

I'll wait for this too.
The app is great, and I think it'll be amazing out of beta.
All the fancy stuff it does is great.
I'd love to get into this program and make tons of themes but some these basic problems really turn me away.
I guess I can wait for this wallpaper thing to work but weather really turns me away.
Also the inability to set multiple locations kind of sux too.
I wish android also separated cell and gps location so that i can always leave at least cellphone tower location on.

Hi,
Live wallpapers might take a while, however we can help with multiple locations.
If you long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock widgets. Then long press again on the widget and select Configure. This will open the Themer Zooper Widget configuration menu.
Next select Location and select the "+" icon. Input a new location and select save. Add as many as you want.
Now go back and select the Layout option and navigate to the module you'd like to configure (such as location or temperature). Scroll down and select Override Widget Locality, then choose a location.
Go back out of everything and wait for the widget to refresh. Now long press on an empty space and lock your widgets again (or via the Themer menu if there is no free space).
Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else you need!

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:

Looking forward to your themes, mark. The LG themes, especially the G7 ones, were amazing.
Basically the whole phone go "dark" after we enabled dark mode in battery settings.
And yes, including the toggles.
However, for messaging app. You will need to switch it to dark mode manually in the top right setting icon.
Don't think we will need a dark theme for this one.
Tried the dark mode. However, anyone still getting a white 'light' navigation bar even when using dark mode? Especially when using apps, etc.
Yup, just waiting for a decent dark theme like everyone else.
I wake in the early hours, so need a theme that doesn't burn my retinas.

Tried Navbar Apps. However, I'm guessing the task manager keeps killing the app.
Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

Is anyone currently using a theme besides the in house dark mode right now? Specifically not one that just does icons. Before I start tinkering I wouldn't mind trying something out to tide me over. And I guess I want to get confirmation that themes even work and that Huawei didn't block them or something ridiculous.
Themes do work and Theme Editor for EMUI works, too, kind off, doesn't support EMUI 9 yet, you have to make do with 8.
I'm just using Theme Editor for Icons and Fonts and KLWP to get my Homescreen to look like I want it.

Hmmm I hadn't been able to get any full themes to work at all. But I'm thinking maybe it's because I had a crappy themes app installed by default. Once I installed app gallery it updated the themes app and it has way more options now. That might be why. But the ones I tried last night from Google Play prior to this only changed the icons. They were for emui8 which I understand likely won't work in everything but none of them did anything. May have to try again with new themes app
Ok so for fun I did try a couple emui 8 themes and it looks we can theme everything. Mind you none of them worked well. So I'm hoping to start making something. But first I gotta figure out why I can't decompile any system apps. Everything errors out so that's a bit of an issue
