Flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
Most things seem to work but a few questions:
Flashed gapps to get Gmail, etc. Gmail works on phone, but is not auto syncing or updating. Only works if I do a manual refresh. Is this fixable?
I am seeing all the tools to tweak UI interface, but I thought there would be more. Specifically, I want to change items in the Status bar - text color, transparency, different icons, battery meter, etc. Is there an easy way to change these? I was using tweaks I made on UOT kitchen on my rooted stock Froyo 2.2.2. rom and this worked fine.
Wifi and 3G are working but 3G signal seems weaker now. In a place where I got 5 bars, I now get only 2 or 3. Also, wifi was connecting but then cutting out until I changed channel settings on my Netgear router from “auto” to channel 11. Is this normal?
DSP app crashes, FC’s.

I have the same phone here in the USA to change status bar and icons you need to download more themes and use the theme chooser app auto updates and sinc works for you may need to flash make sure you wipe data factoru reset before you do that the bars dont worry about if anything use the cyanogenmod setting toggle the 3g in your status bar and make it 3g only the bars will be low but the signal is fine if not better from stock ROM not sure about your wifi sounds like a router problem
Do a clean install and start from scratch.
check out ultimate online theme kitchen.... you can mod till your hearts content, and never have to unpack repack a framework
I have redmi note 3 pro(qualcom) .
I have flashed the AOSP v4 version ROM in it based on the Qualcomm Test rom for Redmi note 3 pro.
Link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/aosp-5-1-1-prerooted-cleaned-t3354682
Though originally it has 2 signal bar for showing signal in status bar normally like all other dual sim android phones or AOSP ROM , developer has made some modifications and disabled 2nd sim Signal bar in status bar and called it ,merged signal bar of both SIM due to his own interest Now it is very difficult to know which SIM has low/high signal in case of troubleshooting.
I have asked the developer to provide solution for the same but he isn't interested.
Tried every possible xposed modules to get 2nd signal bar back but no use. Googled and came to know only way is to modify the framework-res/systemUI apk but i have zero knowledge about these modding and stuff.
I would really appreciate , if anyone can help getting 2nd signal also so i can see toatl 2 signal bar of both sim in phone.
I can provide framework-res/systemui apks or any other files you need to modify .
Screenshots attached for the 2 SIM enabled but only 1 signal bar in status bar:-

flashed: xposed-v90-sdk26-arm64-beta3.zip and XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk.
It's working fine. Thus far I've tried Gravity Box (being careful) and "Flat Style Bar Indicators" to tweak the status bar icons. So far so good.
Be forewarned that installing XPosed will fail SafetyNet, which basically eliminates Magisk's ability to hide the systemless root... meaning Android/Google Pay and other root-sniffing programs will refuse to run.
do you know if TweakBox for Xposed it was ever updated for V30 and Oreo ?

Yeah, but you can get decent status bar icons with xposed as opposed to LG's nonsense. I don't want two battery icons on the status bard, and I don't want my HSPA to say "4G" (its NOT) while my actual LTE says "4G LTE" (and the miniscule LTE is sideways). I want clear designations for HSPA and LTE -- period. And only one battery icon with percentage inside. Gravity Box gives me that. I don't need all the OTHER options of Gravity Box, except the audio steps.
I don't really use Android Pay. Just as easy to take out my wallet as my phone...

@markbencze, see I'm not the only one! Any development on this mess yet with the LG status bar icons in your themes? I checked a while back when you finally got Oreo and didn't see anything. I apologize if I didn't look carefully enough.
Just got root! Has anyone tried SystemUI Tuner? Seems like it does a lot without needing xposed, just throwing it out there. That being said, I plan on trying xposed later today.

Alpha has a few status bar icon options. I didn't mess with the 4g or LTE icons but I did make custom signal icons to compliment the center or left clock options. I'm adding more as time goes by

I used to use SystemUI Tuner but there were less options to tinker around with so I took a plunge and installled the systemless xposed module (and gravity box) and it works fine both on the "Thoery of Everything" rom (debloated stock oreo rom, 8.0) and now the unofficial LOS 15 rom (8.1) on my H930.

Can you please tell me about the details of xposed installation on your V30? As you know, following your guide I rooted my (Indian Oreo) LG V30. Now I'd like to know about a safe way for xposed on my phone. I downloaded xposed installer APK today. Waiting. Thanks.

I was talking about Gravity Box xposed module, which I had installed back when the LG V30 was on Nougat. I have not re-installed Gravity Box with Oreo.
Gravity Box is like a custom ROM packed into one module. It can give you features and options custom ROMs normally give (like audio controls, etc) but you have to be careful when using with stock firmware like LG or Samsung which already have customizations which can cause conflict.
Gravity Box is best for pure Android. However, if you only activate a very few features -- like status bar icons, you can still use it.
As you'd all know, we value the little space we have for other important notification icons in the status bar! Mainly due to the lack of psychical screen space from the notch design...
I have been searching high and low to find a solution to hide/relocate/modify these 2 icons which seem to be permanent? Has anyone had success with with this?
Methods I have tried, but have not succeeded ;
- SystemUI tuner app to hide status bar icons
- Made sure I have VoLTE turned off in mobile networks
- Unchecked the "Display in status bar" in *Settings>Notifications>Call Management>VoLTE calls*
Worth noting I've tried restarting the phone after each attempted method and the icons still remain. Also I'm currently on the .208 firmware, with Optus Australia.
I went through the same steps as you did, with the same disappointing results.
No can do.
I saw someone mentioned in another thread that there is a thread on XDA on removing notification icons by ADB.
I'm still trying to find it.

I don't know if Huawei software engineers are somewhat disconnected from the hardware design team, but the notifications in general are absurdly broken on this phone. Combine absolute hijacking of 'notch space' with an AOD implementation that preschool children could improve using Roblox... I love this phone but I surrrrrrrrrrrrrrre wish we had full root and some spankin' hot romzez to throw at it.

I agree. Have your tried using system ui tuner to hide status bar icons? I hide all of them via immersive mode. But I believe you can also disable individual ones.

did anyone ever manage to get rid of the Volte icon in the status bar? Its only appeared on my P20 Pro since the EMUI update. I don't have Volte settings on my phone to disable. I have tried SystemUI Tuner and tried the ADB commands above and nothing works
Volte icon
Same here, just had the upgrade to my p20 pro and I can't disable or turn it off since the option doesn't exist for me.
It's the most annoying thing for me at the moment. I managed to remove some icons with System UI Tuner app but not the volte icon, the worst thing about it is it's not permanently there, it appears regularly depending on my signal level so it gives the impression a notification has arrived.
There must be a way of removing it with ADB or System UI Tuner app, it's just a matter of finding its given name on the system.
going from the "spread" out optins of v7 (v20) to the clown colors of the compressed (menu in menu) v7.1 and onwards, that clown show color theme is horrific.
any way to change it back to the way 7.0 settings menu looked?
its like having the app on the screen instead of finding it amongst other apps in a folder. I hate folders
I also dont like the color theme. is there a monotone theme?
any way to change badges for certain apps on the v30? clock , notes and camera badges are horrible. I prefer very simplistic and clean designs.
I have to say I just don't understand your question. Are you asking about V20, as opposed to V30? And if so about Nougat 7.1, wanting to make it look like Nougat 7.0?
If so, have you considered posting in the V20 forum?
Afraid I don't remember Nougat anymore. Most V30 users are on Pie, while some have chosen to stay on (or roll back to) Oreo. Myself included. But Nougat, that's 3 years ago.
apologies. let me explain again. I have a v20 and v30
the v20 is on v7.0
I love the layout of the settings menu. I like that they have a setting for each thing separately (mostly), unlike the v30 7.1 which has many settings together and you have to go a few menus deep to change things. basically clicking more to get to the setting.
as well, the v20 has a monotone design which is clean. the v30 has a multi colored theme and each settings has different colors. it looks cartoonish and not aesthetic.
so on these 2 fronts it doesnt look good imo.
you can change icon/badges with a theme pack, but what about changing the way the menu looks?
is there a v7 rom for a v30 ? id be happy to use any version as long as I didnt have that multi colored look and clicking so much just to get to a setting.
reminds me of windows 10. everything is swept under a rug and in the settins you cant even find anything because you have to click so much just to find it.
heres an image showing side by side what I had on the right and the new settings menu looks horrible. grouping settings together is like sweeping things under a rug or the "Matryoshka doll" effect
https://imgur.com/a/ObTu6uW
I see, I understand now what you're saying, including that you were comparing V20 v7.0 to V30 v7.1.
Afraid I have no suggestions though. Hopefully somebody does. Personally I never thought of that as an issue.
Are you intent on staying on Nougat? There are many more ROMs and Mods if you're willing to go to Oreo or Pie. And I'm not aware of anything on V30 that worked better on Nougat than Oreo, at least not anything significant.

Instead of trying to go further back into the past (even earlier Nougat), you should update to at least last stock Oreo (8.0) firmware. So many new features and fixes were given during that era over flawed Nougat. Camera features, etc. You couldn't pay me money to go back to Nougat.. The only reason people use Nougat is temporarily when Frankenstein flashing (converting) to another North American variant. Then quickly ditching that for last Oreo or Pie.
I'm not a big fan of the V30 stock Pie (9.0) firmware myself, but others like it. But everyone agrees that last Oreo was stable, feature filled magic. If you are rooted, on last Oreo you even get DTS 3D Surround Stereo feature (in the firmware but hidden, has to be activated with root).

that green nasty dialer color is absolutely disgusting. when you call someone and the screen turns green. its horrible. it ruins my eyes. I cant stand it. it drives me absolutely crazy, instead of white, now I have this hideous annoying green. I thought android was about use customizing and here it is working completely against me
I dont want oreo or anything besides 7.0
I had issues since updating
ill take the primitive old design then anything from 7.1. its a crap gui. absokutely stupid and way way more intrusive. everything is hidden menu under menu.
im actually considering getting a dumb phone just for calls and text and a simple garbage phone for anything else. ive stopped surfing on a phone as i cant block ads and cant find a proper browser that blocks ads AND stays on desktop agent mode as default for all sites. its crap. screw opera. no more. adblock browser is crap brave is crap. they either do one or the other
but agaun, that ugly asz android 7.1 and up has a horrible gui. and who the hellk thought to turn a screen fully green to make calls is good?
