The app is great overall. I have been using it for some time now for fonts, ad blocking, start up apps, etc. I have tried changing some icons, but it's ROM dependant I believe, so it has worked on some, but not others. This is one feature I am not interested in though, so I have only tried it a couple of times. Never had bootloops from it or any other issues that were noticeable.
I have used it before for some tweaks and font changing, in Neutrino and Morrisoft roms, however in CM7.2 RC1 it gives me bootloop when changing fonts.

I've had luck changing icons on Blur based roms but not on CM7 based. It works great overall. Boot animations work no problem on every rom I've tried. Boot logo does not. I got issues with changing the notification bar colors though. It works but it's kinda buggy.

Used to change to Sony Sketch and no problems. I have seen in the past where it helps to select no when ROM Toolbox asks for reboot, exit out of the app, then reboot yourself. This can fix font flashing issues.

It does work on cm7 based roms. Its just that when you are using theme manager to add a theme. It will not change so I suggest u remove theme manager from system/app and reboot then stay with the launcher u like best. And re-do the installation of what u wanted then get out and reboot.

Fonts? Yes. Batt. Icon... sort of. I installed a battery icon via Tom Toolbox but it would come and go at will. Decided to do away with the icon completely when I switched to Nottactrix what with the Team Battery bar installed on the ROM. Hope this helps

I have bought and used the pro extensively.
With blur roms it wont change the battery or signal icon. Voicemail, downloads, debug will change correctly. WiFi is a bit temperamental - usually when connected it shows the changed version, when weak or connecting it shows the original.
With CM ROMS (haven't tested CM9, only CM7) it will change all the icons correctly but you can't change the Theme (T-Mobile Theme manager) or this will overwrite the selected icons.
The best thing you can do is take a nandroid backup first and then change to your hearts content.
Be warned though, don't try to change lots at once otherwise it will crash the framework and then you get bootloops.
Boot animations and fonts work brilliantly.
Hope this helps
I have never used xposed but want to try it so i dont have to flash a new rom. Im just worried that i might get stuck in a boot loop and with no custom recovery yet i wont be able to fix it. Should i just wait for bootloader unlock or should i be fine. I have 4 kid and cant lose access to my phone in case of emergencies.
Edit**** i have installed xposed and so far everything i have tries in g3 tweakbox and gravity box has caused no problems.

Here are the modules I'm running :

I personally won't use xposed until I am able to have backup (nandroid) . There are to many things that could go wrong if your new to it. Correct me if I'm wrong but you need to have root 1st before running xposed ?

You're wise to wait. We'll start seeing posts soon from those who've borked their shiz being to impatient to wait for an unlocked bootloader and recovery for backing up.

What settings have you experimented with (successfully)? I'm interested in installing the module, but I've had a lot of times in the past (with other phones) where I've gotten in a boot loop, which required me to disable xposed from recovery. That would be very difficult to fix without a custom recovery, so I'm torn on whether or not to install it. Not sure how long a custom recovery is going to take.
I don't mean to be the voice of unsound reason, but I think the concerns are overstated.
Use TB to backup your apps and the associated data/meta data.
If you jack your phone up you can use the factory recovery and restore from the readily available factory roms.
If you jack your phone up so bad that you cant get into recovery... you probably shouldn't be doing anything you find on this site.

This actually happened to me. I TiBued everything then tried to change the build.prop. Bootlooped, and I was stuck without a phone overnight until I saw the post over in the back to stock thread on how to get it back working (Sprint is a slightly different procedure). That said, I'm back to where I was without much lost.
I've been running xposed since root was released a couple days ago. If I have to question myself at all about a module, or a setting in a module working properly, I don't use it.

Has anyone used G3 Tweaksbox to chang the status bar icons with success? So far, I've been able to modify the clock, battery icon, hide some status bar icons, change the behavior of the home button, disable the charging notifications, and hide some navigation bar items, all without an issue. But I'd love to replace the signal icons with something more reasonable. Sprint's LTE/3G icons are such a waste of space. I assume that the status bar icon pack would change those, but I haven't tried.
I'm very tentative with the changes, because I must've borked my S4 5 or 6 times modifying stuff with the tweak module that was available for that. It wasn't a big deal then, because I could just flash the disabler, or restore to a nandroid backup. We obviously don't have that luxury yet. I'm sorry if this comes off as "drama" to some, but I'm just trying to avoid having to flash it back to stock if I can.
I'm using xposed with gravity box & xblast tools. Changed the status bar icons, color, & could only change navbar size. Can only go so small before it distorts but you can see it as you slide the size slider.
Almost forgot, & for whatever reason I can't edit post but, I also tried using the 3 dot menu, don't try, totally lost navbar. I panicked for a couple seconds but just went to settings/apps/all & uninstalled 3 dot menu right from there, rebooted & all was good.

The sprint specific stuff is where I personally would err on the side of caution as well. I'm very happy that it turned out well for those who changed those icons. A list of settings that are confirmed working on the sprint variant would be nice for other forum members to have in the OP.
I can confirm that "enable status bar sliding" in g3 tweaksbox works. Just be sure to uncheck automatic brightness under display in settings.

Is it possible to get different themes in the stock sms app? I'm rooted with xposed module and tweaksbox. I actually like the stock app, function wise, but lord it's ugly as sin.
There's no themes, but in tweakbox you can change the color scheme.

I don't see the option to change the color scheme of the messaging app. I know devs can now include it in their themes, but to my knowledge none have so far.
Edit.. I stand corrected, my apologies.
It's not the stock one, but Chomp SMS allows for all sorts of customization.

Unless i am doing something wrong, the only thing you can change is the top bar color. I'd really like to black out the whole apk, if possible.

I'm having issues with the VZW apk; everytime i enable it as the primary, it starts downloading ALL of my past text messages. I had to put it in airplane mode to kill off the 30 conversations that i THOUGHT i had deleted that it was busy recovering.
any idea on HOW to turn that function off? I don't normally save text messages, so don't want it saying i have 300+ new messages and going thru all of them.
thanks,

Try QKSMS from the Play Store. Fairly new app but plenty of theme customizations without straying too far from the stock SMS feel. I was hooked immediately! Just what I'd been looking for in a messaging app for a long time.
I have installed substratum along with the addon and also I have the swift black Theme installed. A user on reddit reported it working fine . However the app doesnt apply the theme to drop down menu and system settings . I have it set on other(experimental) android version . Should I choose android 8 pixel/nexus to see if it works ?

Yeah, you should use the pure 8.0 one, the stock Motorola rom is close to AOSP in the UI department, Swift Black should completely apply.
You will have to reboot every time after crafting the overlays and only then do you enable them.

I re applied the patch with the experimental setting again a couple of times and it applied the theme to the system without me checking the box for it don't know how though. When I tried the nexus setting it didn't theme any app . How do you go with the process? Build & enable and then restarting or something else?

On stock Oreo, I chose the "8.0-Nexus or Pixel", built the overlays, rebooted and enabled them. As simple as that.

Everything is working for me.
Every time Swift Black gets updated from the Play Store, you need to Install and Enable the overlays and reboot.
And when Whatsapp gets updated, Swift Black follows with an overlay for it within a day or two.

So you never had a problem with WhatsApp after updating?
so if I want to update whatsapp, for example, I have to delete old swift black theme lays then restart the phone and install again?
i think i should never update whatsApp to keep it working with black theme.
if you don't update app's will it force you? force mean's app won't work until updated?

On stock 8.0 you have to just install the new overlay ( the one for the newer Whatsapp version ), reboot and enable it in Substratum.
This part is optional:
after that's done and Whatsapp is themed and working, go into the Substratum Installed Overlay list and remove the Whatsapp overlay for the older version ( don't touch the newer overlay ) if there are actually 2 different overlays.
It is just me or there is more battery consumption when there is a theme active then when it's not.....even with the Swift black???

It's just you. My SOT has increased since I started using the theme. I didn't calculate specifically, but the phone had more juice left after a day of regular use.
Not a big fan of the themes that LG offers. I was using Substratum + Andromeda on my Galaxy S8 Active and loved it. I'm wondering if Substratum + Andromeda will work on the V40?
It works kind of. I use Swift dark and it themes all the Google apps but not any of LG's system apps. I haven't encountered any bugs or issues so far.

Yes Substratum and Andromeda are on Play Store. Andromeda is needed for Substratum to work on non root devices and is $1.99
I have an issue with the LG Icons.
I downloaded two Icon packs, changed them for a week, enjoyed it, but decided to change again.
Now regardless of any Icon pack choice, I only get half the Icons to change. Not even if I go back to stock version ... the half that don't convert back are now just an outline of the Icon and I can't find a way to convert them at all.
