Hi Guys!
Just got my nexus 5, I was wondering as to which current ROM's available offer any of the following :
1) Halo
2) PIE control
Thanks in advance !
Not sure about ROMs but if you're happy with the stock ROM and just want those two features then you can install the Xposed Framework and download Gravity Box for PIE control and XHalo modules. I know the Gravity Box module is functional, not sure about Halo since I don't use it. Hope this helps.

Thank you, i will look into Xposed Framework. One question though, does installing Xposed Framework require the device to be rooted ? I know i have to root the device to install a custom ROM but was just wondering if Xposed Framework can be installed without rooting.

I looked through all the ROMs in the nexus 5 sections, only a few of them list change logs the rest just instructions on how to install the ROM. I believe there was just ROM thread that actually listed out all the features added to the ROM.
I understand that nexus 5 development is in its early stages and I do not expect to see full feature functionality for a while. Being kinda new to the android scene i am still trying to understand all the terminology used so change logs really dont elaborate on anything yet. Thank you though

1) you don't need root to flash custom ROMs. Only custom recovery. You do however, have to unlock your bootloader.#
2) Yes, Xposed needs root.

Just wanted to check if any folks here have tried installing Xposed framework on a non-developer edition Moto X (I have VZ) on Kitkat.
Any issues faced like force close etc? Also I read that MotoXposed does not work, what other extensions are people using on Xposed on 4.4? Does Gravitybox, Xprivacy etc work fine?
It works fine for me, you just need root and access to write to system. Two threads in original development have guides for this.

Just use GravityBox [KK] from the modules section of XposedInstaller. Works perfectly and has tons more tweaks than MotoXposed.

I second that. Using GB KK and it has all the main interface tweaks that I need. No FC. MotoXposed doesn't even work in KK, so don't even bother trying it.
I rooted my phone I have twrp recovery "closed framework", "gravity box kk" And I want to know if I can use two different xposed modules at the same time the thing I listed above help me give my phone the knock knock feature and I want to use xposed installer to get more modules and features... is it safe to do this?

your kernel completely controls your phone, it ties the cpu to tbe os and to the rest of the hardware. its impossible to run two kernels. which would control your phone? it is literally the brains mass of your phone.
I use YouTube AdAway, Pandora Patcher, App Settings, Xposed Lockscreen Wallpaper, Play Store Fixer, MinMin Guard, 30 Volume Steps, Xposed GEL Settings, Alarm Clock Plus and a few more...
So, yes.

To give a more simple answer:
- You can't have 2 kernels at the same time
- You can have multiple Xposed modules at the same time
Also, questions belong in the Q&A section of the forums.
Thank you

BTW kernels and Xposed are two completely different things. I assume by the title you're using a custom kernel, not Xposed, to use Double Tap to Wake feature. You can only install one kernel at a time. If you flash another kernel, the other one gets overwritten.
As far as Xposed goes, use as many modules as you want.

You can use multiple xposed modules. Just keep in mind xposed modules can conflict with each other if they both do the same thing.
Hi guys, I'm running 4.4.2 and I was wondering if there is anyway to theme the stock OS? I mean something like the CM Theme Engine or maybe flashable theme or even an xposed module ? Thanks for your time :laugh:
PS: I'm rooted and I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery ( TWRP )
there's lots of themes in the play store.

I know that there are many themes in the playstore but the question is how can I apply them since I'm running the stock OS

I don't know, there are one or two Xposed theme engine modules. I don't use them as I use a custom ROM.

ok, thank you for you answer :highfive:
Use the xposed module called hk themer.
Why the hell are you on 4.4.2?
I'm on 4.4.2 because it works very well for me , I have got very good performance and battery life

Just update to 4.4.4, claiming that 4.4.2 has better performance and battery life compared to 4.4.4 is silly, it's going to be exactly the same (improvements if anything). Just flash the 4.4.2 radio in fastboot if the 4.4.4 radio isn't good for you ._.

I'm still on 4.4.2 too... haven't felt the need to upgrade yet either. I use HKTheme Manager (xposed module) for applying themes. Make sure to check the search options in settings if your themes aren't showing up.
With Lollipop round the corner (fingers crossed sometime next week), those of you presently rooted and running Xposed, what are you going to do? Ditch Xposed and run Lollipop or wait for Xposed to be updated?
Just curious really.
I am minded to removed Xposed and run Lollipop.
I keep KK until Xposed FW works on LP or alternatives are found.
I ditched zposed

I installed the dev preview but honestly I will switch back today on 4.4 because I miss xposed so much. I have never thought that I would miss it that much but I do.

Actually I don't care about some goodies that Xposed can provide. The 2 main reasons I don't switch to LP are: the whole UI is way too bright (especially the system settings) and Xprivacy.

One my OP7 Pro I am rooted running magisk on Pie. In the past on other roms and devices, I have been able to add Xposed to magisk as a module and install Gravity Box in Xposed just to get the one option to add the day and date, eg: Oct 29 GB is way too much for one feature.
Are their any modules, hacks, etc without installing Xposed and GB on my device (which I'm not sure is possible but don't want that option)?
Any advice?

Did you get a solution? I'm interesting too.
Two solutions I am aware of. EdXposed and GravityBox. or K-Klock substratum theme. I personally use K-Klock as it was the only feature I really wanted from GB as well.
