So I hear that Xposed still does not support Nougat. I'm running Xpower 5 (MM) right now and would really like to try LineageOS os CarbonOS (Nougat). However, I'm hesitant to give up xposed. I use Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Gravitybox, Play store changelog, and Greenify. I'm not that familiar with Nougat at its new features. Is Greenify or Amplify or AppOpsXposed even necessary anymore with Nougat, or does it equiv functionality. I mainly use Greenify to keep apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc under control. I can probably live without Gravity box. The main features I use there are "Pin scramble" and "data traffic monitor".
For those Nougat users out there that previously used Xposed, how much are you missing it?
I flashed back to Marshmallow because i don´t want to use the phone without xposed. Still hoping, Xposed will be available for Nougat.
Eh, I flashed the newest Nougat rom on mine, giving up xposed, but still keeping ROOT, greenify, etc, and I have to say, my phone has never performed better and battery life has been great even without Amplify. Besides not being able to have a persistent menu key or more volume steps, I don't miss xposed at all really.
The only things I was using xposed for was gravity box which gave me the status bar battery bar at the top and the status bar network activity indicator. I can live without them. I'm sure I can find an app for the later, maybe not the former

I tried two ROMs, CM12 by Temasek and CM12 by Archi. Both weren't fast as Kitkat for me. I was using boeffla kernel with battery saving presets (1ghz CPU, underclock GPU, and both undervolt). This is what I use on Kitkat too but it performed better. Can you guys give me your views that how you feel it performs and if you thinks its better than Kitkat, list me your kernel and ROM.
And my main problem is xposed modules. One is gravity box and other is hack connectivity services and last one my favorite is greenify. I use gravity box to turn on flash light on lock screen by holding home button. I also use it to skip songs by volume keys but I think its possible in LP without modules. I use it for other purposes too but I want any alternatives for my most used favorite functions. I use hack connectivity services module to do reverse tethering and use all apps. Any alternative for that too? You can ignore greenify.
Another major issue is that when I restored apps from Ti backup, most of them didn't worked. I think its related with runtime? Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Hey guys. I've looked about the forum seen some modules that people are using but some modules including ad away I can't find in exposed. I have ad away for YouTube but I want to remove ads from my browser and from apps. So yeah, what are the best Xposed modules that people are currently using?
BEST? Depends on your likes and preferences I guess. For Adaway you're looking in the wrong place for it (not related to xposed, try F-Droid)
Currently on xposed I'm using: NoOverlayWarning, XNotifications, Greenify, XPrivacy, One-Tap Video & G4 Tweaksbox(which I currently have disabled, but it works!) I love Flat Style Bar Indicators for customization but not so much on the G5 because its been running hot

I downloaded greenify and amplify but not entirely sure how to use them effectively lol. Also is F-droid secure?
There are threads on all these modules. Look into the xposed section, lots of good reading for example...Amplify is something you don't want to be touching stuff if you don't know what you're doing. And yes F-Droid is actually very secure. And they have a strict policy on keeping it that way

Is there a G5Tweaksbox? They gent makes a great module for the g2, g3, g4.

MinMinGuard
MinMinGuard is an Ad-remover made with Xposed Framework for Android. MinMinGuard can completely remove both the ads inside apps and the empty space caused by those ads. Conventional ads removing apps are only able to block the ad content, but the space taken by the ad will still remain unused (black). MinMinGuard successfully removes that black space, which extends the app window and makes your user-experience better!

Lol, did you just copy this from TK's XDA Video
Vlc player has pop up video too without xposed modules and no root is needed.
Anyway, thanks for the info.

Thank you for this share. I haven't installed xposed yet (twrp and root so far) but I'm 'collecting data'.
Another aspect I'd like to customize, even though it appears to be less needed with the launch of EMUI 5 with Nougat, is the tile/quick settings panel. Back in the past in my nexus 5 experience, I've used gravitybox, but as far I understand, it is not meant to be used with non AOSP ROMs. Is there any exposed module to customize tiles panel on EMUI, that you suggest?
Thank you once again.

im still new with this phone (5days) and updated to L09c432b131 (MM) and deinstalled xposed because i had big battery drain over night.
now only root/twrp and testing how long the battery will last
regards
Xstana works too
Status bar sleep works great (except on the lockscreen).
SwypeTweaks is able to switch the Dragon button into a Google Voice button but not change the keyboard color
Flat Style Keyboard works great
PerfectColorBar works (and is better than Flat Style Colored Bars IMHO)
RootCloak
Greenify ?
AppOps ?
Ive got XInsta, Instagram Themer, Youtube Adaway, Statusbar download and SDFix installed and working.
Just one word of warning with xposed, Sometimes the app-picker part of the framework force closes and therefore you cannot use the dialer, open videos etc. etc. BUT a full re-boot usually solves the problem when it happens.
Maybe anyone knows of a fix?
Anybody using the Protect My Privacy module with the US version of Honor 8? If so, any issues?
Hello my fellow LG G6 users,
after I got my LG G6 I unlocked the bootloader and installed Fulmics ROM without hesitation. I don't really care about my warranty when I on the other hand have the ability to enjoy the newest LG UX, Magisk with Viper4Android and the iOS Emojis, or the better battery life. Using a AOSP ROM really never came to my mind since it's known for it's bugs, bad picture quality, battery life and so on. So I used Fulmics 4.2, Melina Kernel and Magisk.
With the announcement of Oreo I really got excited for it, but after @xpirt (btw thanks for your work, beginning with the G3) announced that he likely won't continue Fulmics ROM on the G6 this excitement was quickly demolished. I really rely on some of the tweaks of the ROM. But since I really wanted to see the improvements of Oreo so I flashed the Firmware a few days ago.
Starting with the Firmware for the H870. First of all it's hard to even get the newest (20B) since this is the version with the camera improvements and rebranding of the G6. But after installing it I quickly realized that there are many issues with the Oreo build and many missing features you may know from Nougat and the Fulmics ROM.
1. Original icons are not working with the Stock Google Apps. There will always be this white frame around most of the icons, which is not as good looking as before
2. When you're using bluetooth headphones you will get a persistent notification that you can switch your media output between the G6 speakers and your bluetooth output. A so called "feature". I really don't know how to get rid of it, since you cannot silence it. LINK
3. Battery life is the worse I've ever seen, even worse than AOSP Roms. I'm not even a heavy user but I only get around 3hrs Screen On time which is unacceptable for a last year 2017 flagship.
4. Always on Icons like the battery percentage and the battery symbol itself are not removable and they will always be there LINK
5. Neat features like customization of the QS tiles and volume up/down for skipping tracks on your music app are gone
6. Bluetooth connectivity is in general worse, headphones are randomly disconnecting. LINK
7. SD Card issues with the unofficial 20B build on the westwood24 Firmware 20A thread. SD Cards over 32GB seem to be corrupted for the system
8. Some notifications are not getting displayed like the notification badge on the app icons
These are only some of things that really bother me on pure Stock Oreo. Even with Magisk and Substratum installed which are able to do some of the things, Fulmics Tweaks is easily capable of, with many difficulties.
This thread should not blame LG (Maybe a bit with there so called "features") but may warn some of the users on a very customized and good Fulmics Version when they think about switching to the stock Oreo Firmware, since I personally going to switch back to Fulmics.
Feel free to comment possible solutions for the problems (s.o.) or your own experience with Stock Oreo.
I experience none of the problems with stock oreo.
Its way better than fulmics.

Just edited some links into the thread supporting my points. Which problems exactly don't you have with stock Oreo ?
I don't want miss the new 1password function. This is new in Oreo. Security and so on are better with Oreo. No, I don't want go back to fulmics. Fulmics are very nice, but I need the Oreo features.

I have workarounds for some of these problems. I am on unrooted, stock oreo.
1. Custom launcher with an icon pack. Easy solution.
2. You COULD try disabling the bluetooth app with LG Package disabler, which silences the notification. However, things start to break. I figure, since you're rooted, you could do something with Tasker. Just an idea.
3. Debloat. Or, use LG Package disabler. My battery is nowhere near as bad - an average of 4-5hrs SoT, and this seems to work just fine.
4. It's not really a remedy or anything, but I use the app "Glimpse Notifications" instead of AoD, which turns on the screen briefly and shows the notification. It uses very little battery.
5. Never found those useful, and I don't use the stock music app. Aren't QS tiles still customizable?
6. I just don't use bluetooth headphones. We still have a headphone jack, don't you remember?
7. Never encountered this issue because I have a 16gb sd card.
8. Works on Nova just fine. Maybe check the stock launcher's notification permissions.
As much as I dislike this phone, I've just gotta make do with what I have until my contract is up.
Same here. Honestly, I'm not have these issues either.
The only thing that bothers me after the update is the slight but noticeable performance hit, mainly the lag when starting apps that aren't already running in the background.
But I haven't done a factory reset (out of laziness) which might take care of the problem.

I get 5 hrs SOT with 20b. Don't know why one would get three, but the Rom or Oreo are not the reason apparently.
I like the stock ROM, even though I've been using custom on several phones before this one, since it has VOLTE and T-mobile wifi calling. Don't see any lag I have not been able to get rid of.
I agree it's a bummer that the devs have mostly walked out on the G6.
I'm trying to enable the System UI Tuner option by holding down the settings icon on the notifications bar, but it doesn't work. I've got developer options on, have ensured all three animation scales are at 1X and tried both charging and uncharging. A search in the V30 forum shows only five instances for "System UI Tuner" Is anyone actually using this with the V30? How did you get it working?
I'm hesitant to do the Frankenphone option and root because my bank app is blocked for rooted devices and apparently even the hide root options don't fix that.

I'm going off what others have said on the USAA forums, that somehow it still detects root and blocks. Some people have said Magisk works, others have said it doesn't. I'm not sure I want to risk it as I do all my banking through the app.

Are you using the stock ROM or a custom ROM? I don't know if LG included a system UI tuner in their OS. I've never seen it anyway. And I don't know about your specific bank but the only thing I have seen people say isn't working on custom ROMs is Android Pay. I'm running the stock LG OS and have root using magisk and I'm not having any issues with Android Pay or any other apps.

Stock ROM. I haven't touched the bootloader/rooting/custom roms yet. The most custom thing I've done so far is switch to Nova launcher.
The USAA app appears to be doing weird things with root detection. Some people that were rooted and unrooted their device still can't access it, even after a data wipe. I'm taking the posts with a grain of salt, as other people seem to have success with Magik. It does apparently flag if Google Pay is tripped for root, so that might be an issue with custom roms.
These days, I really don't need root anymore with Stratum and other theming options. I would like to try System UI Tuner and see what it does just because it's a baked-in function (maybe not LG?) before going the root route.

In my experience, the status bar isn't very customizable on the stock ROM. even with the system UI Tuner app in the play store, some things can't be changed. Most likely due to LGs framework being different from stock. What is it exactly you would like to change with a System UI Tuner?

I don't think the playstore app is the same one built into android. I could be wrong though. I don't have any specifics I'm looking to do. I tend to be minimalist in my GUI and mostly wanted to play with it and see what I could do.

It does a lot of what the built in System UI tuner does. The problem though, like I said, is that LG has their own framework and doesn't have a built in System UI tuner of their own as far as I know. The most customizing I have done is with Substratum themes. But even those are limited (again, because of LGs framework). I'm just saying, root won't get you many more options than what you already have. Unless you use a custom ROM.

I see. This is my first LG, coming from the Galaxy Note line of phones. If I go custom ROM, then my reasoning would be more for battery life and efficiency than any GUI functions.

I disagree.
I'm rooted stock firmware and I have Nova launcher, icon packs, my own wallpaper.
PLUS, I've also installed this Magisk mod:
Anxious Kernel Script (kernel tweaks),
Dual Speaker Mod for US998,
ESS DAC for Low Impedance Headphones/AUX (should work on other models, idk),
Google Dialer,
Google Sans,
LG G7 ThinQ Camera Features,
sqlite3;
US GPS Config,
YouTube Vanced (no ads, better options -- like download, resolution)
as well as enabled call recording: (clarification, this "mod" itself is not a TWRP-flashable Magisk module, but does require root permissions.)
There's tons of other Magisk modules I've not even looked at. Magisk is becoming the "xposed" of a few years ago where you can have "pick-and-choose" custom ROM options WITHOUT installing a custom ROM.
AND I have TWRP custom recovery to make image backups (like having a magic time machine) or to flash other Magisk modules.
I have Titanium Backup which lets me back up and restore apps + data. I just had an app update and took away a feature I liked. BOOM. Restore recent version through Titanium Backup, lock out future updates until they come to their senses.
With root (even on stock firmware) you have so many options to improve your phone or have TOTAL CONTROL over your phone.

Oh, I agree, root opens up a lot. But as far as System UI tuning like he mentioned, you're kind of stuck with what LG gave us. As far as those Magisk Modules, I may try some out. I've only installed the Grennify module. I can never tell if something will work with the H932 or if it will break something so I haven't dived too much into modules yet
