Hello everyone,
I would like to customize the statusbar, with the default ROM. Is that possible ?!
And also i tried to unlock the bootloader, but i don't really know how to do this. I guess, with the bootloader locked, i can't root the phone.
Which options / software / apps / should i try, for customizing the status bar ? Does the Gravity Box works ?
Any advices are welcome, thank you in advance.
Xposed Framework or modules do not work on a stock ROM. You must be rooted to make changes or customizations since all require writing on the /system partition and that's not possible without root.

I tried to root the phone, with the software called KingoRoot, but i wasn't able to do it

Do i have to unlock the bootloader, before i root it ? If so, would you please tell me what's the best method / way / for unlocking the bootloader ?
Thank you
I have to apologize... I had all my previous phones rooted and also built ROMs for them... But not on this phone. Nothing has convinced me so far that it worth it. Development on this device is limited to ported ROMs, there is no AOSP ROM and therefore I can survive with the stock and keep my warranty.
So I don't know exactly what is the best method since I used none

I just want to root the phone ( and unlock the bootloader ) but i will keep the default ROM.
How do i check the status for the bootloader ??

Hey guys,
I'm new to the android scene, and have basically no knowledge to speak of when it comes to going beyond the locked factory FW. It seems like there's so much more to this scene than iPhone jailbreaking (I had 3 iPhones before deciding I wanted to switch back to android)
I want to try a new FW, and try out apps only available for rooted devices. However, I cannot risk losing my warranty. What can/should I do to experience more with my Z2?
There are a number of easy one-click root tools that work on the Z2. I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559009
And don't worry about warranty. Root doesn't void warranty. Only unlocking bootloader does.
Once you are rooted, do check out Xposed. Once you have installed the framework, there are tons of Xposed modules that can help you to tweak the phone.
When you say you want to try a new FW, I assume that you want to try out a custom ROM. Do note that you need to install a custom recovery before you can install certain custom ROMs. I recommend [NUT]'s dual recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785598
And do note that not all custom ROMs work on locked bootloaders. Some require unlocked bootloaders.
Done and done. Rooted and downloaded a ton of mods. Woo!
Thank you!
Woah! I didn't know you could use custom ROMs without unlocking your bootloader....
So theoretically I can run different ROMs without killing my warranty... Hmm...
That's the beauty of Android.

I guess I have a ton of research to do. Lol
I just spent an hour modding a boot animation for 1080p, it's nice to have a hobby again. Haha
Hi all, i've installed MM 6.0.1 On my G925F.. My questions are:
Where or how can i access to doze?
Is possible to change icon pack, or personalize UI and Drawer on TouchWiz stock?
Thanks 4 help
Hi there,
Welcome to XDA! Quick answers to your question:
1) Doze is an android 6.0 feature that does not require user interaction. There is no way to access doze, as it works without user interaction.
2) TouchWiz does not support customizations, and the best way to do that would be to install a custom launcher. A popular choice is Nova Launcher on the Play Store. Check out their google+ for inspiration to get started.
Lastly, do use the search function for more detailed responses
Hi, thx for answers. I know this about icon, because I had nova on 5.1.1, but I did hope that with mm there are more personalization option, but as I see, isn't possible. The problem is that nova (and other launcher) consume more ram and battery then use only touchwiz. Is possible that i must flash an unofficial rom or do root to personalize a top device as 6edge?
Touchwiz can be modified to some degree but you'd need to flash a custom recovery, root the device then install the Xposed framework.
Or, as you mentioned, flash a custom rom.

I don't think 6.01 has root yet, you'd either need to wait until there is a root solution or flash one of the several pre rooted 6 roms that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development
Hey all, first of all I'm not new to the Android world. I've had many phones, and all if them modified heavily. I do not consider myself a Dev (I've made some basic scripts that's about all) but definitely a power user.
Anyway, I'm a little lost on this z2 as far as modding it goes. My bootloader is NOT unlockable according to the phone stats, however I have seen a few root methods for 5.1.1 and locked bootloaders (I'm build a.1.232). Now many of these rooting methods ask for you to downgrade to a rootable version, root it, then reflash a prerooted 5.xx ROM. Easy, However with my unlockable bootloader how will I flash anything other than a stock Sony ROM without bricking it?
Essentially what I'm after is how far can I go with a locked bootloader, and if there is s surefire way to root 5.1.1 without downgrading since I can't flash back up. Also am I good to flash a custom recovery? Or is that offlimits as well being locked. I'm a little lost due to lots of mods here apparently working with locked bootloaders, and on my HTC one that just didn't fly.. Lol.
Thank

You meant locked bootloader right?
You won't be able to flash any custom ROMs without unlocking your bootloader.
The only custom ROM that works for locked bootloader is MIUI (which uses the stock Sony kernel)and the phone needs to be downgraded to 4.4.4 and there are some custom ROMs out there which may work on locked bootloaders.
Yes,you will be able to flash custom recovery and use mods that are available on XDA and also xposed works fine on LB
You won't be able to flash custom kernel or custom ROM for LB
Yes downgrade is possible
Hi all!
I am considering buying an OnePlus 9R. But first of all I have two important questions:
Is the phone rootable without too many hurdles? (unlocking bootloader possible, booting to fastboot, installing magisk, get root permissions etc.)
Can I change the status bar Icons? (I absolutely don't like the stock android status bar icons) Also when rooting is possible mybe with a root tool or alternative ROM?
Thank you for any help in advance!
Hello together,
I've rooted my Jelly 2 smartphone and unlocked its bootloader (using MAGISK). It worked well and I gained root access.
After that, I am not very happy with it and I want to undo it again (pls dont question that).
As I am quiet a newbie in rooting, I don't really know how to unroot the device again, flash its custom ROM and lock the bootloader again.
I had clicked "uninstall" in the MAGISK App and due to that, I've lost my rooting access.
But I also want to flash the normal stock ROM again and lock the bootloader.
May you please help me how to do it? I have downloaded an official stock from from the Unihertz Jelly 2 phone but dont know what to do next.
There are many diffeferent tutorials out there and I feel quiet lost.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance
