Hello, everyone!
I´m new here, but using the forum quite a while. Since a few days i´m the prowd owner of a Razr Maxx.
First of all, the device is amazing, i need a phone for the work and not to play and >5" Display. A phone with a good battery-life and thats exactly what you get here.
So i´m using the spyder version but i´m in the EU so i need the GSM-Patch. First of all i´m using CM 11/M12. It´s very good and stable. I´m also using the One+ Launcher, which i like because i´m using as 2nd phone an iPhone.
But a few things i´m missing and maybe you can help me out with this things.
1.) Alternative to CM11:
CM 11 is good, but i also tried LiquidSmooth Rom 3.2. But after installing the GSM-Patch, the Rom was not stable. With CM11 no Problem with the GSM Patch. I also tried the 3.1 Version of LS but also no luck. I also tried DirtyUnicorn, which looked good and with a lot of features and included GSM support, but was also not stable. Same with Paranoid. Do you have a alternative Rom with GSM Support or Patch support for the XT912 Verizon Maxx that you can reccomend me?
2.) Statusbar:
In the statusbar is to much going on for me. After some time i get so much symbols for every update etc. also the one+ laucher is every time with his icon in the statusbar. Is there a statusbar where i can hide all this things and only can see important icons like calls/messages?
But i also missing something in the statusbar, the provider name. On an old phone i have the provider name in the middle of the statusbar, but now i find no option to enable it. Is this still possible? I used the phono-app which shows the logo, but thats not exactly what i want. But better than nothing.
3.) Lockscreen
I want a simple Lockscreen and i like the iPhone Lockscreen a lot, besides the missing widgets. Can you recommend a lockscreen like the iphone lockscreen with widget support?
4.)Dialer
Three things i dont like in the actual dialer. First when i open the dialer app, the first screen is favorite contacts, but i want as first screen the numpad.
Second, i also like the gui from the iphone, you have contacts only one click away from the numpad, now you have to know the name and type it on the numpad or open the contacts. Is there a better solution?
And at last, the dialed numbers are not in the "memory", when i put in the first digits from a called number in the history nothing happens. On my old phone (HTC) , it gives you matching called numbers when you click the first digits on the numpad. Is that possible?
So thats a big list, first i hope you understand it and second i hope you can help me with it
Thanks a lot!

1) I am xt910 user so I cant help you in this case. Maybe @sherri or @Ohmster could give you a clue?
2) in LS 3.2 10/13 go to Settings->LiquidSmooth->Status Bar->Advanced. Here you can enable 1) "notification count" to prevent long lined-up of similar notification, 2) MIUI provider label (to show provider name on the most left of status bar)
3) the built-in lock screen is enough for me anyways. If you want iphone-looks-like so bad maybe you should try using Launcher that provide iphone theme for lockscreen (just find it at playstore i.e Go Launcher)
4) We are on the same boat here. Keep me posted if you luckily found it first

thanks a lot for the response!
Hope i find for the rest also a answer.
hi my friend i have the verizon lg g3, running on kitkat custom stock rom.. skydragon!!
i want to know about what rom have more satbility, battery perfomance
im looking for this on a stock custom rom:
lollipop rom
no problem with xposed
everything works like a charm...
lg smart cover and smart cover works running xposed too
no crash in the more setting.
battery perfomance
system stability
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
if the rom is AOSP what rom is better and contain the following features:
double tap to sleep everywhere
double tap to wake
knock code
lg quick circle cover &smart weather
infrared controller
system stability
battery performance
some way to use google now theme with appdrawer folder?
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
i really feel very thankfull about the answer of this thread..
thnks you in advance
And I want a wife who has hot friends and will not sleep with anyone else but will let me hook up with said hot friends at will...
The point is: It's give and take; you have to figure out what is most important and go with it.
I may suggest that you learn a little more about Android, licensing, and the differences between stock and AOSP before laying out your list of demands, because many of these are just not possible.
Stock:
Xposed is currently in an alpha state on Lollipop, requires the removal of the smart weather and cover apps, in order to function on KitKat and Lolllipop alike. Going to the "More settings...." will produce a crash as a result of this removal. That is clearly noted in numerous threads for Xposed on LG.
AOSP/CM:
Knock code is an LG feature that requires their framework and, I think, a kernel module, too; no dice on AOSP.
You can get double tap to wake, double tap anywhere to sleep on lockscreen, and double tap on status bar anywhere. The implementation on status bar only is far smarter.
Quick cover is available; not sure about the circle..
LG Weather is an LG app and requires their framework; no dice. There are far better options available anyway.
The IR may not lend itself to every app, but the QRemote app has been ported and works great.
Google Now is available.
App drawer folders are a feature of certain launchers and most work fine on AOSP ROMs.
You may test anything that you like where it comes to Xposed. I'm sure that the devs would appreciate detailed feedback.

My work around for double tap to sleep anywhere was to use slim actions and place it on the home screen as well as double tap on status bar or nav bar.
I've been on aicp for a while now and really enjoying it. Very solid and a lot of features.
Now that I have 6.0 on my AT&T V10, I'm a little unimpressed that two features I thought would have been added to Marshmallow apparently don't exist yet:
1.) The text message theme
- I hate the ugly yellowish/orange color of the default/standard SMS android app. I've seen on other phones (NOT V10) where it changed to red with the Marshmallow update. Is there any way to change the color now without having to use a different SMS app?
2.) The camera icon on the lockscreen
- I read on several pages that with the Marshmallow update, there would be a setting to be able to disable the camera icon on the bottom of the lockscreen. Sadly, it doesn't look like this happened either. Is there any way to turn this off? It's rather annoying.
I realize everyone just got the AT&T V10 6.0 update, and there may be some learning curves, but I just wanted to know if maybe it was just a global Marshmallow thing and if anyone has already been able to do either of these.
Thanks
Hi there,
I'm new to XDA so I apologize if I am posting this on the incorrect forum.
I have Oppo F1 Plus (in some region it is know as R9) rooted and running on Color OS V3.0.0i Android 5.1 lollipop.
Using the code qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 (which pre-existed in the buildprop) I enabled myself the onscreen buttons.
Using root browser I turned off my recent and back hardware buttons and 'keyboard backlight controller' app to turnoff the backlight.
However, the onscreen buttons' opacity is way too low. I would assume around 15-20%. I tried using various apps like 'navbar app' and 'softkeyz' but both failed me.
Is there anyway to increase the opacity of the onscreen buttons to max using buildprop or root browser or any other method?
Thank you.
Im sorry to say but there isnt.
By default the On screen button should completely be opaque completely.
Try Downloading any theme for theme engine if possible.

Oppo has a pretty close OS and there is little to none development for this device.
I really want to change the notification panel and onscreen button color. but none of the apps are working.
I think the root cause for your problem is the Color OS
Due to high modding , The Framework has been completely modified and because of the fact you dont need a on screen button , they must have left it as it is.
So to fix this , you have two options:
i)Mod Stock rom by yourself
This is a difficult to do process because you have to deodex your stock rom and then you have to decompile and recompile your framework-res.apk
ii)Try Cyanogen 12.1
Cyanogen is an Open Source Android OS which is the most used Custom Rom.
Cyanogen is Completely debloated and provides you high customization

Thanks for replying,
you are right about the framework, since my onscreen buttons do not recognize landscape mode and keyboard.
I know about custom roms, however with this build of cm12.1, I would to lose my sim calling capabilities. I guess next time I will buy a phone after researching on its support in XDA.
Thanks!

You're welcome
I suggest you to buy phones with Purely Stock Android with No or less modding.
Mostly they have the highest support from Devs
And yeah , Avoid Mediatek as much as you can.
They dont provide source codes and it is because of that there is no Dev for Mediatek.
Cheers
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
