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.

I'm surprised there is so much drama going on about this. Yes, you can screw up things if you just go installing and activating modules and settings without researching first but, why would you do that?
Here are the modules I'm running :
Xposed GEL settings
JustBack(probably repetitive but it works)
G3 tweaksbox
YouTube adaway
And that Pandora one that got removed a while back

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.

Ok guys ive done my research and it seems fairly simple to recover so im going to throw caution to the wind and install it after i get off work.

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.

It worked for me im running aosp icons
everything is awesome!!!!!!
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.

Did it get rid of the giant LTE and 3G icons? Are you able to return to stock icons, if you try? Thanks.

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.
- Tapatalked from the G3
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

Hello
Anyone knows of a way to customize the front touch buttons? Like its height, adding multitask, sorting buttons
I know there is the tweakbox on xposed but it does not work correctly on my phone stock kitkat
Kindly tell me of another way if available, like editing a system file or so

You can flash a zip file that can modify the height. But the absolute easiest way would be to use xposed and G2tweaksbox.
G2 Tweaksbox works flawlessly on my phone - why doesn't it on yours ?

If you don't mind me asking, what went wrong? This same issue happened to me as well.
Has anyone been able to figure out a way to customize the notification bar? I'm looking to get rid of the battery bar since I'm using AccuBattery & would prefer to use its battery indicator.
Would also be nice to get the network speeds on the bar. As well as having a seconds indicator on the clock.
try gravitybox. some settings might not work, but most do. If that doesn't have exactly what you're looking for, try the flat style bar indicators module, that one worked for me as well.

Thanks for the reply! Few follow-up questions: GravityBox is an Xposed module/app, right? And to get the Xposed framework installed, I'd need root? Lastly, how did you root your ROG?

Yes, gravitybox is an xposed module, and yes you'd need root. I kinda followed that guide but I can simplify it I think. after you've unlock the bootloader:
1. install magisk app
2. tap install
3. Select normal install
4. reboot when prompted
5. check you have root with root checker
6. install xposed app
thats what worked for me when upgrading to magisk 18. When I first installed magisk (17.3), I had to get boot.img from my firmware version, place it on the phone, and when selecting install, I had to choose patch boot image and browse to the .img.
Have you come across any issue with xposed yet? Right now that's the most compelling reason to root my phone.

nope, none so far. Doesn't take long and is pretty easy. I'd say its worth it. Some modules don't work 100% but I'm sure you already knew that.

I've tested gavitybox O and snapfreedom both work to some degree depending on which setting you use, as some will just completely make your phone non functional. but then other settings work fine.
youtube adaway also works but causes random youtube fc's every so often.
Some other modules Ive tested are flat style toolbar which did nothing, xstana which works (but I didn't think I needed it personally), and that one thats supposed to let you downgrade apps whose name I'm forgetting right now. Yea that one did nothing either.
I also have viperFX and xHifi in magisk.
To be fair, I think, most of the things we would use these modules for are already features built into the phone. overclocking is so niche. I know since I've been doing it for 23+ years. Thats a feature built right in. on a phone. night mode used to be one, as well as mapping gestures, battery management, and so many other things. IMO, way to go Asus! (although next time don't make it such a dust magnet! I already have some tiny specks under my camera glass somehow?)
Finally rooted. Though Gravity Box O didn't work, Flat Style Bar Indicators was perfect for what I need. Thanks for the suggestion.
So, I took the plunge and went with the m20p. I upgraded phone and plan which made it hard to beat. But... These are the nagging issues which make me hate my experience. If anyone has any suggestions or tricks let me know.
1. No access to hosts file.
If anyone has a better way then using an adblocking browser or running a VPN for blocked by let me know.
2. No root!
I know there's nothing we can do here, but literally all of my problems would go away if we did.
3. Unable to remove most status bar icons.
This one baffles me. Why put in a monstrous notch, only to fill it with unnecessary icons. I've managed to remember be some of them with sysuituner but not enough to be functional.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm finished on the throne now

For the status bar icons you can use the system ui tuner app from the play store. I was able to remove the NFC icon. You can also remove the carrier name in the display settings. Those 2 changes gave me room for 2 to 3 extra notifications. ?

Yeah, I did that, but I've got volte and signal on the side and clock and battery on the other. I've still got no room. I disabled them all on system UI tuner so anything left I'm out of luck.
