Hi,
Since Xposed doenst run on Lollipop (yet hopefully), I was wondering if any of you could recommend some alternatives if there are any. I know there is nothing wich is as good as Xposed but some tips on usefull apps might come in handy. Could Tasker be any help there, and if yes, how.
Thx in advance.
Xposed has never been "good". I'm so happy support is dropped.
Regarding alternatives it depends... What do you need?

I thought it to be good. I would lik to be able to add quicktiles, extended volume settings, more options to GEL. Stuff like that
I don't recommend anyone to use xposed.
Concerning your needs:
Volume: monitor this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barrasso.android.volume
For now it doesn't support lollipop but the author says he will.
Quicksettings: don't know any alternatives
GEL: why? You a fan of Google now? Otherwise look at some alternatives. I use nova. Action launcher is soon getting a nice update.

naaaah come on, there is a lot of nice modules in xposed ...well with lollipop I don't really need them any longer.
But there are a few modules that I miss:
*Snapchare
*Keepchat
*Snapchat Full Caption
*SnapColors
Going to move this thread to q&a...
Just an FYI, a good launcher that gives you a decent level of customization (for a free launcher anyways) is Lollipop Launcher (from the creators of Holo Launcher)

I kinda like the quick slide to google now updates, tried/own several launchers. Ony thing I would like added would be quicktile settings and an option to close all background apps at once

Hello all, going to be dipping my hands into ROM cooking, and I wanted to get a few opinions on the matter. I have my own ideas on what I want to include, but I would like to get the opinions of some the users that may be utilizing it on what you may prefer.
1) What would you like the source to be? (10c that amberhome uses seems to be pretty stable, but I am open to suggestions)
2) What would be your preferred home screen replacement? (Please only free ones, or ones that have a free version)
3) What kind of tools would you like included?
4) Any other apps you would like baked in?
Any other comments or suggestions are welcome, this is not just my ROM, but will be others as well
I think that Lg's Launcher should be replaced with LauncherPro.
lg's launcher tends to be laggy with the xtra stuff they implement.. please stick with lp or equivalent.
As of now, I am thinking about putting Launcher Pro + vLauncher in. I am a big fan so far of vLaunchers app drawer.
Umm.. launcherPro is more preferable for me. JIT enable + hardware acceleration enabled. For the source can u make another 1 for the Asia version because i stay at singapore

By what people tell here,the roms are equal,it only changes locales or operators,so guess V10a would be good,because it is unbranded.
But if this theory is wrong,just go for V10c.

The only things that I replaced in V10a and that "for me" make sense to be put on a rom are:
Fancy widget - instead of the LG original one,because it shows the battery percentage.
Compass
GPS Status
Bar Code Scanner
Advanced Task Killer
AndroZip
Astro File Manager

maybe google reader and skyfire (for the ones that are always asking for flash support for this phone).
Oh and of course this tweak
Another important thing is what shouldn't be removed...
A thing that could be good is if you and corwin42 could work together,because amberhome v1.1 is a good rom,it just needs some things sorted out,and two guys work faster than one most of the times

wide language support will be welcomed, so try to compare it and you will see. It's not necessary to have everything because of its size, but it should be possible install next languages like chinese, czech, franch and so one. Most better solution to keep rom as small as possible - include only english and provide mechanism to select/download others.

So, I red few posts and it seems that not possible satisfy everyone - my solution - include home selector and two or three home screens with possibility to uninstall unwanted HSs.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Also, ATM I am working on getting the modded kernel for the Optimus S (at least parts of it) working for Optimus T versions at the very least, which is the P509. Don't know weather any of it will be applicable to other P50x series, but I would like this to be in any ROM I release.
Hopefully by then others will have 2.3 hacked apart... and then... much fun will be had by all.
BTW anybody handy at sifting through source and with knowledge of arm cpu's feel free to contact me, any help or differing eyes/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
+ 1 Gingerbread!
Yes black notification bar would be greatly apprecaited.. and song shuffle with long press of volume +- keys would be a great addition...
Black status bar, circle battery with %, launcher pro, root.
It would be also nice to have gingerbread and fastboot.
A ROM like Kang-O-Rama would be great, I use this on my Nexus One and love it.

Dear Community,
I'm happy to have found Themer and would like to fully replace all Go Products. I don't trust that chinese crap with its adware and random lockups any longer.
Questions I'd love to see answered:
1. How to enable animations like in Go Locker?
2. Advantages over all other Launchers?
3. Which is the best replacement for Go SMS?
4. Security advantages over Go Products (pretty self-explanatory given the fact that Go Products come from China)
Even though not everything might fit this forum, I'd like to have your experiences as detailed as possible.
Thumps up will be given. Trust me.
Update: Themer looks cool, but doesn't seem to be the right option. I want 3D and I would like to place my app icons on my home screen like I used to. Any other Launchers you can recommend? C'mon, don't be shy!
PLEASE ANSWER. Thank you.

Hi SecUpwN, let's see:
1. We've just started, lock screen integration will arrive in the future once we are more stable.
2. The biggest advantage is that we offer the only one-click theming experience. Other launchers do allow you to add themes, but then you'll always need other 3rd party apps. With Themer, everything is included.
3. Hard to say, that's personal preference, but there are many great alternatives out there.
4. Well Themer is being developed in Irvine, CA. We can assure you that we only release quality, non-risky features and updates. The only push notification we use is one to "show off" your theme, which helps spread awareness for Themer and also helps keep it free. It can also be turned off.
Hope this has helped answer all your questions, feel free to ask more if you need
Thanks for answering, @ThemerSupport! How can I have a cool theme by Themer and place my own apps onto the home screen? I'm REALLY looking forward for that lockscreen feature! Having it, I could use Themer as an ultra-stylish locker and have a fresh home screen with my own apps on it. Aww man, maybe next year..
You can still add your own app shortcuts by longpressing the app in the drawer, then dragging it where you want on the home screen.
Same thing with any widget.
Of course, this likely ruins the aesthetic of the theme.
You can go to Menu > Advanced Settings > Unlock Widgets
And move things around to accommodate your additions.
Furthermore, you can just add an extra home screen and have your way with it!

Cool! @ThemerSupport, would you please add the following options as well?

* Possibility of adding own app icons to the home screen
* 3D animations of the home screen
I know the app is in BETA stage, but would you please add these into your plan? THANK YOU!

I decided to ditch Themer as long as it doesn't provide basic features like NOVA launcher. It's sad, but without beging able to add icons to the desktop without destroying the theme, I don't want it. I'm using NOVA now - and it works just awesome.

We're trying our best to add in full icon pack support (as well as providing icons that are related to the theme), it hopefully shouldn't be much longer.

Hi there,
I love this tablet and ready to buy one. But a question is whether the GravityBox (a Xposed module) or other modules can work well on the original rom?
I'm hoping to tweak the rom.
Thanks! XD
Of course it works.
Most, not all, features work. (For instance, the Quick settings customization is not possible.)
Since the Sony ROM is rather close to AOSP, the vast majority of (Kitkat-enabled) Xposed modules work.

Wow that's really nice! Thanks a lot! :good:
Maybee you guys know how to change quick settings? Xposed module?
Isn't possible because of Sony's customization of the quick settings.
Just curious to see what everyone use Xposed for! So far, I personally use g
G3 tweak box for pretty much everything. I tried to use the Lockscreen Tweakbox but haven't really found a good use for it. What are some things you guys couldn't live without?

I don't really like using Xposed at all, I like running a custom ROM that has the features built in... That said though.. Here I am using Xposed until the bootloader gets cracked hopefully.
I keep the number of modules to a minimum. What I'm running for modules are G3TweakBox , XToast, and Greenify.
XToast adds some fairly cool customization to your toast messages that I think looks pretty cool. The other two I'm sure you already know about.

Xblast, and Gravity Box are my go to, modules, but I also use Android L Navigation Bar, Android L Theme, Disable battery Full Alert.
I have several modules:
Android L Nav Bar
Android L Theme
App Settings
Boot Manager
CrappaLinks
Disable Location Consent
G3 Tweaksbox
KitKat SD Card Full Access
Root Cloak
Tinted Status Bar
Xposed GEL Settings
Xposed Preference Injector

There's also a thread on XDA in the G3 (non-carrier specific) general forum. In the thread the beta 1.2 is available for download which wasn't on the Playstore yet. Just FYI. The dev is awesome about feedback and taking requests. I, like most others, basically opened the app and bought the full version almost immediately. Don't know what I would do without Tweaksbox!
Xposed modules I'm running: (quite a few)
Android Tuner Free
App Settings
AppOps Xposed
Disable Location Consent
Fake ID Fix
G3 Tweaksbox
Greenify
LG Pie Support (along with Tweaksbox gets rid of Nav buttons for more screen real estate! Plus a fan of Pie when there are no hardware buttons. Using PieControl and happy with it)
Master Key Multi-Fix
MinMinGuard (ad remover)
Network Speed Indicator
Xposed Wi-Fi Deep Sleep

Mods alone won't give you better battery life. They'll have to be mods that either throttles or removes something, to release resources. A stock 4.4.4 ROM will work great as it is, but you can remove apps and services that you don't use, so they don't use battery. Use Stamina. It's really really good at saving power while in standby, and don't whitelist every single app you have. IM apps like Hangouts, FB Messenger, Whatsapp etc. are all using a lot of battery, so keep that in mind too.

You need root access for that and xposed installer. Just download Gravitybox and use only the option for center clock. Most of the other customization are meant for Google stock/aosp Rom so no guarantee they'll work. I personally use the ported Google play edition Rom with gravitybox for full support.

Good advice.... I am on stock 4.4.4 and am using gravity box for center clock with day of the week, advanced power menu, and Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons to give me four buttons with custom icons including a dedicated settings button.
