I belive some users tried to run themer on g2 mini, but it couldn't work because of resolustion support. We have 960x540 (which is supported by themer), but since we have soft-keys themer detects 886x540... They recently added support for 888x540 and I've managed to get 888x540. I have stock 4.4.2 rom.
1. You need rooted device.
2. Install Xposed Framework and GravityBox [KK] module.
3. In Xposed, enable GravityBox and reboot.
4. Go to GravityBox -> Navigation Bar Tweaks, turn Master switch on, scroll to the bottom of the screen and change navigation bar settings (for both portrait and landscape orientation) to 98%.
5. Reboot.
This method reduce nav bar height by 2px and themer detects 888x540 resolution. You should be able to see themes in themer now.
i work arround that i install auto hide navigation bar and works fine but i going to try that maybe can be set in build prop to dont install nothing more
Well, I tried to auto hide nav. bar, but auto hide is not usable for more reasons, at least on my phone. When nav is hidden, themer works fine, but some stock apps crash on start up. Such as phone, contacts, gallery etc. When I unhide it, it cange screen height at 886 so, themer crashes.
Hi mate ! Need a help .. I have just rooted my lg g2 mini lolipop but there is this problem xposed says installing framework might brick my phone because, processor or something doesn't match. Therefore, what should I do now ? Should do a titanium backup before installing ? I haven't done any backup before rooting.
Thanks in advance
This method works on 4.4.2 stock KK rom. Probably it will work on stock 5.0.2.
You're getting this warning, because you're trying to install Xposed for KitKat rom, which won't work with Lollipop. There are threads on this forum about getting Xposed to work on 5.x roms, so, try that. If you get it working, you can customize nav bar and run themer.
I am using a medium end phone with stock android 4.4.2, rooted and works well. But I used SoftKeyz (an app which changes the navigation bar icons and requires busybox) and then rebooted my phone. Then I realized busybox wasn't installed. Now my phone doesn't have
Navigation bar
Status bar
Home screen wallpaper disappeared (blacked out)
Can't take Screenshot
Can't receive calls
Other minor malfunctions (which I've never experienced before)
I also noticed that the "android 4.4 kitkat" process is not running like usual in task manager.
How can I fix this? I tried installing busybox then restarting again, or safe mode
Hello,
I bought a Z Ultra 2 days ago. After I activated it I have been prompted with 2 notifications: 1 that was asking me to update to the latest android and one that was asking me to update for the latest Xperia software update. First, I did the update for Android. Second, I did the update for Xperia software. My first question is: I did good by updating both - or I should've updated only the Android and not also the Xperia software? One of them changed the looks of my homescreen, the size of icons and not only, but I am not sure which one.
I am thinking of making a reset to factory settings and to do only the Android update and forget about the Xperia update. Would it be ok to do that? Which one changed the looks of my phone?
Thank you.

You have already done both, so they will stay there even if you do a factory reset. You'll only be able to revert by reflashing stock firmware.
Don't worry, updates are usually a good thing, especially on the Z Ultra.

I'm guessing you're talking about the bigger launcher icons. That's how Sony has made them now, and yes, they're bigger than before. I wouldn't downgrade an operating system just to have smaller icons on the homescreen. You can:
A. Use the older KitKat version of the launcher.
B. Use a different launcher altogether (recommend Nova and Action Launcher)
C. Change the DPI (Dots-Per-Inch), making everything denser (i.e everything will be smaller) - Root required.
with the new 5.1.1 update, you can resize the home-screen icons.
You have a choice between Small and Large. You can access this through the home settings.

Really? I thought that if I will reset to factory I will get what I had when I took the phone out of the box. Is this the usual way for all phones or is it only on Z Ultra? So it means that it is useless to reset it, because I will still have my updates?
Also, I should have done only one of the updates (latest Android update / latest Xperia Software update) or it is ok if I did both? On other words, the normal thing to do is to have both updates done, right? I ask because Xperia Software update was reconfigurating some android things so I started wondering if it good what I did - but still, the phone kept on asking me to make the Xperia update.
Second question: I did installed Buzz Launcher and I changed some themes on my Z Ultra. I decided to not use it, I deleted all data from apps for Buzz Launcher and Buzz Homepack and after that I uninstalled them. I have a feeling that my phone works slower after I had Buzz on it - is it possible? When I deleted all data from the app uninstaller in the settings and also uninstalled them, did I erase everything from this app? Should I do a factory reset?
Thank you in advance.

1. No, that's how it is on every single OS in the world. If you had reset Windows 10 on an old machine, it wouldn't magically revert back to Windows Vista or something. An OS update replaces the current OS with the newer one. If you want to get back to the older version, you'll have to do it yourself by manually flashing a firmware. It would be ridiculous to do that for some smaller homescreen icons though.
2. Yes, it's fine.
3. The app is uninstalled and gone, but there might still be a folder left on the internal storage, so install a file explorer, like Solid Explorer or something and see if there's a Buzz folder somewhere. If yes, just delete it.
