Hi XDAs
How can I set all widgets on my home screens to transparent in a simple way?
Please don't post me this link.
Rooted N5, stock, 4.4.2.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Simple way? Find widget replacements from the Play Store that offer transparent options. Other than that, the link you said you don't want to do would be it. Sometimes you gotta put in effort to get what you want, unfortunately. There's no magic transparent widget option. First world problems, right?

Thx 4 ur answer. I make many efforts and take always the time to mod my system! The problem with this link is that not all apps are available and if there is a new version of a specific app you can do the process again and again.

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've been running xposed since root was released a couple days ago. If I have to question myself at all about a module, or a setting in a module working properly, I don't use it. 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.

I love my Honor 6X. In fact, I've bought 3 of them in my household. The one thing that just drives me nuts though, is the spacing of the buttons on the navigation bar. I've searched and searched online and have not been able to find any way to change it. I'm using the Lineage theme so the buttons are Pixel-like, but I want them spaced out like stock Android instead of so close together. Anyone have any way of doing this? I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked on stock EMUI 5/Nougat.
Thanks!
caseym
Hi caseym. Same here. I purchased 3 of them when the BB deal came out. I'm afraid that you would have to use a custom ROM to get the navigation keys at the spacing of your liking. You can change them with a theme and you can re-arrange them (settings/navigation key) but nothing beyond that, other than changing the resolution (settings/display/view mode). For my taste the current custom ROMs are not ready yet for my main phone though. I've replaced Moto G4 Plus' on which we ran the Invicta ROM (best rom for that phone). Once the custom roms for the 6X reach similar status I'd consider them.
cheers
So, you can choose to use an app like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967 (no root, no Xposed required) or you can manual do that via adb, following the tutorial here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/

haven't tried this but reading the details it reads
accessible to anyone running Android Nougat on Nexus, Pixel, OnePlus, and some Sony, HTC, and Motorola phones. If your device is running software that is close to Google’s software (sorry Samsung and Huawei/Honor users)

Whoa sorry, both methods are a pain to EMUI, didn't noticed that. Well, check this one then https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-enabler-t3615628 it requires substratum, but it should work on many OEMs Roms.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I've looked at some of these options and found exactly what derausgewanderte pointed out. I'll try the substratum mod.
Unfortunately, the substratum theme doesn't work. Try to enable it after installation, it says I have to reboot phone, reboot and it's disabled again. Guess we're stuck with what we have. I don't want a custom rom...battery life on this phone is absolutely amazing and I don't want to chance messing with that. Thanks for the responses.

I agree. It's looking odd especially if you got used to the AOSP looks.

I've been searching for a way to truly disable the NavBar on Samsung Oreo, I don't want to just hide the NavBar, I want to truly disable it but I haven't found a way to do this on Oreo yet.
Can anyone help me find a way to achieve this???
Best regards!

It's called "hide navigation bar", you can find it in the download section of the app.
Without root
Is there a way to do it without a root? Like this used to work https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742
EDIT
I think I have found a solution. Please check my later comment on this thread "https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742/post76057934#post76057934"
yeah ive been struggling with my nav bar as well. before used to be so simple to remove it. login to the forum just to find threads like this and see if someone came up with a solution without root

Hey thx, it worked. This will do for now.
I do have space on the keyboard just like you do. Hopefully someone comes along who can fix it.

I always ended up spacing out space under the keyboard in the other older method anyway so didn't really notice. I find it's more natural to type a bit higher up.
If it's helped please do check out my thread I made on the method and thumbs it up for others
Hey everyone, I actually found a way to remove status bar completely and not have the space under the keyboard. It requires ADB so you'll need a computer with ADB drivers and us debugging enabled on your device. Depending on your situation (what kind of navigation you want to use; OnePlus gestures, Xhome bar etc) this might not work. I currently use OnePlus gestures. There's a setting you enable to remove the navigation bar but you need to give the app ADB access. You'll as well need an app to enable immersion (I use systemui tuner) The result is no navigation bar. This is the only thing I've got working well for me and OnePlus gesture app can be customized a lot.
I hope this helped, and if anyone needs clarification I'll give it.
Not a big fan of the themes that LG offers. I was using Substratum + Andromeda on my Galaxy S8 Active and loved it. I'm wondering if Substratum + Andromeda will work on the V40?
It works kind of. I use Swift dark and it themes all the Google apps but not any of LG's system apps. I haven't encountered any bugs or issues so far.

Is it the substratum app in play store or?
Yes Substratum and Andromeda are on Play Store. Andromeda is needed for Substratum to work on non root devices and is $1.99
I have an issue with the LG Icons.
I downloaded two Icon packs, changed them for a week, enjoyed it, but decided to change again.
Now regardless of any Icon pack choice, I only get half the Icons to change. Not even if I go back to stock version ... the half that don't convert back are now just an outline of the Icon and I can't find a way to convert them at all.

Thank you ... but sadly, it didn't work for me.
It seems as if I lost the stock Icons altogether.
If I don't figure it out soon, I may factory reset the phone while I'm still exploring it and tweaking it.

That's "bull"
And on top of that, I can't purchase anything in Smartworld? It's not even available any more, the themes you pay for, I mean.
Have you checked so all permissions and "Modifie System" and "Install Unknown Apps" are granted?

I've tried it with 2 different themes and System UI crashed twice and had to do a factory reset.
Luckily i had this phone for 1 day so i didn't have much data anyway.
