So I had CyanogenMod 11 installed for a while and whilst I much prefered it to stock android I am a big user of the camera and I couldnt stand the CyanogenMod camera so I have gone back to stock.
Whilst I am mostly finding stock completely useable, one thing I am really missing is CM's option to expand desktop.
So I am wondering if there is some img that I can flash to give the phone this feature without having to install the whole rom?
Thank you.

Search for xposed framework, then follow the instructions to install. Reboot. Download GravityBox (can be downloaded from within xposed app) and activate it. Reboot.
Expanded desktop is under display tweaks in GravityBox, and there's even pie control in status bar tweaks.
Don't forget to thank the devs

+1. I use this method on both of my phones and it works beautifully. There is also an immersive mode option in gravitybox but I much prefer standard expanded desktop + pie controls.
I wrote up a semi detailed guide on how to set it up- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554592
Thank you very much to both of you, much appreciated

Thanks for the guide. Do you have any idea how I can automate this in tasker for stock 4.4.2 rom? (i.e. auto immersive mode / expand desktop for specific applications) I have tried enabling it via secure settings, but it complains about my rom.

You know, I never got into tasker so I can't help you there, but there is an Xposed module called App Settings which allows you to set Immersive Mode on a per app basis. It's a must-have module, IMO. You can download it from the Xposed Installer app.

There's a couple ways to do this. The first way, which is what I do is to use xposed+ gravitybox for expanded desktop + PIE controls. You can add a toggle in your quicksettings to turn it on and off at will. Here's a easy guide I put together for it- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554592
Another way also uses xposed but it uses a module called App Settings which allows you to set immersive mode on a per app basis. You can download it from the xposed installer app.
Both methods require root but work on the stock ROM.
I've tried so many options xposed and apps, but this one UDN stands above all others. If you see other options, please charm in. My search starts from the problem that I constantly work in dark places where I can't see the hardware Nav buttons.
Click here to download and read about it from the OP or support the dev by heading to Playstore.
The one I used from OP is udn_v23.2_CE.apk :good:

If you have root just go and get xposed framework installed on your device and download the module gravity box KK edition, enable that then reboot and go into the app, go to navigation bar tweaks and turn it on. You can use the lollipop navigation bars or stock kitkat. Hopefully this helped.

I have been searching for which XPOSED APs seem to work well on XPOSED for the NOTE 5 - I personally have found a couple of apks that work for me - some that work partially - etc.
I thought it would be nice to have a thread where you can post working apks for XPOSED that you using.
XBLAST - Original thread this is one that seems to work the best for me: (you will want to download version 1.8.8
working Advanced REBOOT MENU
Modify Colors on Wifi/Data/Clock in Status Bar
modify Status Bar Background
(I haven't checked to see if I can change the notification pull down yet or not)
Gravity Box - LP - XPosed repository - some of the things work in GraVITY box - BUT anything working that I found in Gravity is also working on XBLAST - I am not using Gravity any longer but you can find the current and older versions of Gravity at the link above.
YouTube Ad Away Xposed Repository
Android Theme Engine - XPOSED REPOSITORY - This one is cool, you can change the icon used for Wifi/Data in status bar and a number of other themeing options - not sure all options work but most of the ones I tried work very well.
Greenify - Google PLAY
That is the extent of what I have found so far - if you have found any other working xposed aps you want to share, post a link and description here. I will try to keep this thread up to date and will add xposed aps you post here in the op as time goes on.
Thanks to @wanam for all his work getting XPosed Framework working on the NOTE 5 and thanks to all the developers who created these awesome apks for us to use. Don't thank me for putting this thread together - be sure and show thanks to the devs who create your favorite Xposed aps. And when you can, consider sending them a donation to show your real gratitude.

notifyclean to keep my bar clean, great

If you have links or instructions on where you can download these that would be helpful - if they are just in the Xposed repository, that is ok too - just say so so people know how to get them easily.
Thanks

Wanam was causing my phone to not start up. After 45 min of sitting, it would never get passed the T-Mobile screen. Tried many times. I'll have to make a nandroid and try out the newest version.
In terms of what I've found to work:
DS Battery Saver
FingerLock
Greenify
XInsta
Zoom for Instagram
here what I have running with xposed so far...
also have Viper audio, but that's not an Xposed module

Wife Icon - Data Icon - (those two really) there are two different "android theme" xposed apks - make sure you are on the right one...I am hoping that future development will open up more functionality on this and other apks in xposed -
screen shot shows the icons that I have themed with that apk View attachment 3468334 I didn't get a lot of themeing out that apk - but little by little more will happen (hopefully)
is there a stable version of xposed? or is 2.7 the only version that works for note 5
I continue to look for xposed apks that give themeing capabilitiers of one kind or another. I know about Wanam Xposed and use that for somethings - but with the NOte 5 -I have not found a themeing option that allows me to theme the toggles effectively, like I could on the NOte 4 and earlier phones. Does anyone know about an xposed apk that does offer good themeing capabilities for the Toggles? Either using color or new icons? And how does that impact with the Theme Store themes?
clear defaults too, which is one of my Favorite

Are you actually able to change the font size in apps? I've tried but nothing seems to change. If you are able, which version of the App Settings module are you using, or do you have a link? Thanks

I am on MOAR ROM on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with xposed installed and I have greenify, amplify, YouTube adaway, double tap to sleep and xposed installer material theme changer all working. Wish there was a double tap to wake module.
Also have boot manager working. It's nice having xposed working on note 5.

Here's a screenshot of my list of modules.
Figured we could use a thread like this, so here we go. Feel free to post the modules you're using, requests for compatibility or just general discussion.
I'll kick off with the few I'm using:
Clean Lockscreen (Repo) | (No XDA thread)
SNAPPREFS (Repo) | (XDA thread)
YouTube AdAway (Repo) | (XDA thread)
I've found GravityBox to be too buggy and unreliable to use in case anyone was wondering. It doesn't play well with O2OS at all.
Greenify + PowerNap
Hows powernap working on the OP2?.
Is it very good ? Any problem?

What have you configured inside GB? I tried remapping the navbar keys, changing the power menu, changing the battery icon and a few more minor tweaks. None worked as they should.

I tweak a few things
• Percentage on battery icon (I mean I use standard circle battery icon but percentage is in the middle of it)
• Date next to time
• Network traffic
• Quick shortcuts : no more brightness bar and added battery shortcut (no icon, but I can swith on/off battery saver mode quickly) -> with those modifications I can't use the little shortcut (the grey four-squares button on top right) to readjust shortcuts positions but I can use the GravityBox settings to do it.

I think they are the only tweaks I set. I use a standalone module for progressbar (statusbar download progress) which works really fine
Other modules working :
Amplify
Greenify
App Settings (at least for per-App DPI setting)
XuiMod (nice Xperia toast animation, just need to reboot after a change)
Youtube Adaway

I'm using Xposed GEL Settings but it will not unlock the premium features. Says "Lucky Patcher" is installed and that I need to uninstall it to gain access to the premium features. I googled Lucky Patcher and among other things, it is used to get around IAP's. I don't have it installed so I'm unsure what is going on. Anyone else run into this?
Edit: I've done a factory reset and installed nothing but xposed and gel settings and still get this error so it appears it's something within the OS. I don't have this problem on any of my other devices (I have many).
Edit 2: when I trigger the soft keys, the premium features of GEL Settings begin to work. I can then go back to hardware buttons and the features remain. A reboot resets this. So, it looks like something in the software regarding the hardware keys makes GEL Settings think this "Lucky Patcher" is installed.

xposed-v73-sdk22-arm64.zip yeah. Note that you need the 22 SDK as O2OS is based on Lollipop 5.1.
Can I assume V74-SDK22-arm64 is fine as well? I dont see V73
Curious that people report Amplify working, for me it installs fine but blocks no wakelocks.

Yes there is an app called Shortcutter, when you're in the app allow root features, then go to "Toolbox settings", scroll down to "Customisable tiles" and enable immersive mod. Work very well, i still using it since the first time i've found it.

I have this app, Only that you can not exclude some apps so I prefer not to use it
There is no app needed. See the following thread for details and warning about battery drain. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3621622
I enabled immersibe mode on my Nexus 7 for two single apps using USB ADB command without having root. It works and I have no battery drain.
