I've installed a half dozen ROMs and can't find any that support these two features:
1) NavBar cursor control - I believe Roman first created this mod a couple years ago with AOKP and it allows you to have left/right arrows on your NavBar whenever the keyboard is open.
2) Bind Torch toggle to long pressing the Home button on the NavBar.
I know you can get these with GravityBox but every time I try that, I have serious stability problems so I'm trying to avoid using Xposed.
Is there a ROM that supports these yet? I've tried and can't find it although I guess I could have missed an option in one.

Don't ask what ROM my friend. Just read the the forums on every ROM find what calls out to you.
Might I suggest looking for a ROM with exposed already on it. That has a ton of customization options

I'd be interested to read more on the stability issues you were seeing with Xposed/GravityBox. How long ago? Do you remember versions?

1 - not sure.
2 - Hold home button for torch? AFAIK, i only rmb holding home button when in lock screen toggle torch.
Anyway, go try some PAC ROM, pac rom has more feature than most of the rom as it is a combined ROM among others. OR PA rom.
i am a big fan of PAC rom, but there's still in development for nexus 5. When i'm on older device with PAC rom, it has your point 2 feature.

Ok, as I have been guilty of using the Development thread for asking a user type question I thought I might kick this thread off as a "How to do simple tasks in Jellybean EOS#4"
Link to Rom and Development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35828448&postcount=1
Its more so that I can ask questions and get them answered here so that others can also learn the basic's as it is really packed full of lots of little goodies that we have had to use other apps to do..
As I get time I will try to add screen shoots of some of the basic operations so that it is easier and keeps the development thread clean for Tim and others to carry on the work to get this rom settled.
Honestly the EOS jellybean series of Roms are great for daily use and as I was on EOS#3 for a few months, I have no hesitation in suggesting "Take the leap".
All credits go to the developers and the hours they have spent pulling this fork together.
And in case you forget how to install here it is from the horses mouth..
How to install:
Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY:
You can skip the full wipe step

The following is a cut and paste from Frederuco's thread over at Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to Thank him for his work and all credits for the time spent on this already..
Is Adobe Flash supported on this ROM?
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.
My battery is draining fast
Check your WiFi sleep settings. Settings - WiFi - Tap the button in the top right, Advanced, WiFi on during sleep - Never. Keep in mind, this is forced. No need for AutoAirplane Mode, this ROM forces the WiFi off when the tablet is sleeping.
There is also a setting for how long after you put the tablet to sleep that WiFi stays on. EOS Control Center, go to the Systems settings. Change the SCREEN OFF WIFI IDLE DELAY.
How do I get rid of the circle touchpad and get a real pointer?
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Touchpad Mode. Change from Gestures (CIRCLE) to Trackpad (Arrow)
My Volume is lower than it was on stock
Most custom ROMs for JellyBean have had some volume issues. There is an app for that! It is made by none other than TimDuru.
It is the K.A.T Toolbox. K.A.T - V1.2.4 [ICS][JB4.1-4.2.1] App | Audio enhancer | Misc fixes | Scanner Filters.
Read more about what it is and how to use it in the development
Grab the latest and install it. Once installed, open it. Grant root permissions. Tap the Audio Section. Tap the Cascade Digital + Analog Levels and Link Volumes to Volume Keys. This will give you about as much volume as you can get out of your tablet. Volume levels go from 0 to 63.
The dock is using a US layout and I do not have a US dock. How do I change it?
You probably already tried changing the AOSP keyboard in the Language and input with no luck. Well, it is not there. It is buried in the EOS Control Center.
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Tap Dock Keyboard Layout. Choose the proper layout and then you will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.
I have the dock, is there a way I can hide the NavBar but keep the notification bar at the top?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center. Scroll down and tick the HIDE NOW under the Navigation Bar section. If you want it hidden on boot, you can also tick the box for it.
Even if you DON'T have the dock, you can install the app LMT and set up thumb controls to swipe in from the left or right to use.
Can I hide the system bars to get a true FULL SCREEN experience?
Yes, just hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. You will see the POWER MENU. Tap the SYSTEMBARS MODE to toggle them off and on.
The Nav Bar takes up as much room as the old Statusbar, plus I lose the top notification bar. Anything I can do?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center and enable the Low Profile Mode. It makes the bottom bar shorter.

The little round button with dots that take you to the apps and widgets..
On Apex I can move this around the dock bar, it seems in the stock JB launcher its locked in the middle..
Any trick to move it like Apex launcher?
I would prefer to have it to the right hand corner.

Thanks Frederuco,
And thats a great thread you have got going over there @Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to add this one from you as well on that question..
How do I get rid of the darn APP DRAWER icon that is bottom dead center?
The stock launcher has a fixed icon that you cannot get rid of for the app drawer. You will need to check out a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or another one. I like the look of Apex myself with the App Drawer icon in the top right. Custom Launchers are the way to go IMO, so much more you can do with them compared to the stock ICS/JB launchers.
Do we really need that status bar on top?
Is there a way to get JB 4.2 with the 4.1 layout (no status bar on top, navigation/status bar on the bottom)? I've searched high a low on the interwebs and it looks like this is a no go... My biggest gripe is that the status and navigation bars are not controlled by the launcher, so not even an alternative launcher will do that trick.

There is no way to change to a Tablet UI with Android 4.2
It seems it is all Phablet UI with pull down menus.
The older style Tablet UI with the system bar at the bottom is gone.
Agreed, 4.2 is all Phablet.

I tried to change the layout to Greek but nothing happens. I prefer the stock keyboard so i do not want to use an aftermarket one. Is it possible to be added in the rom so to select it in the system settings menu? I use version 150 with kernel 92 . I am sure that the greek language was included in ICS and i was using it with success. Can that be somehow imported in this rom? When i select greek layout from eos settings after reboot nothing is selected. Is that behavior normal?
edit : as i saw when i remove all languages from asussec keyboard it writes Greek but it can not change the language in English when i desire to do so. So it is missing the ability to have selected both Greek and English language because simple Greek tab is missing. Can that be added?

Hello,
I write this post because I need some information for the personalization of my nexus5 (kitkat stock rom).
I would like to customize the toggles accessible from the notifications bar.
I need to have:
-A button that allows me to enable or disable the data network (currently enters clicking in the statistics and from there I have to click the button on / off)
-A button that allows me to make 2g/3g/4g switch (sometime if i need only use whatsapp i use edge for saving battery)
Have you any suggestions?
I know someone will chase the rabbit of the hat!
Thank you,

Please try

Has anyone with Root access tried GravityBox Xposed app yet? That should do the trick but I don't know if they updated to 4.4 support yet.
the xposed framework doesn't work on 4.4 yet, sadly. The developer just ordered an N5, and is already looking at the issues, so hopefully we'll have an update soon.
you've already got a data toggle, press and hold the centre button which has the signal icon on it. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work exactly the same way, quick press into settings, long press toggle. Arse about face compared to others but it works.
I couldnt install either of those apps..kept getting error 920...awesome.

I use old good Widgetsoid. Very customizable.

GravityBox
I'm using GravityBox and works very well. I recommend you to try it. It needs root acces.
I'm using Quicker Free

It is similar to the QuickPanel in appearance but allows you to add and remove the settings you like. Also allows you to make more than one screen of settings.
Actually just tried out Power Toggles and like it better than Quicker Free
Just use Cataclysm rom. It's pretty much stock rom with a few added options like this

Hi Guys, I'm a long time android user, but this is my first pure AOSP, I've been on various CM roms for quite a while.
I was pretty surprised to see that I can't find a custom quick settings option (ie change how the quick settings buttons work)....
- Why would you ever have bluetooth and wifi tiles launch settings menus, rather than just toggle bluetooth / wifi on/off - really silly default option..
- would love to be able to add a torch, screen timeout & screen rotation lock tiles...
My question, is there any way to get this sort of functionality without going to a custom rom - still using the quick tiles? or is it just a matter of me not being so impatient and waiting for CM or similar to be released..
Love the idea of being able to get OTA updates.. and really to be honest, the only thing I am really missing from CM is the ability to modify the quick tiles..

So I take it that adding extra tiles (ie say screen rotation for example) , is not an option in AOSP?

If you want rotation lock in quick settings you have to modify SystemUI.apk and framework2.jar. If you were using stock you'd have to modify those, but using AOSP means you can just change a few lines of code and recompile.
If you want to know the exact parts to modify let me know.

Cataclysm Rom has customizable quick settings
Root and Xposed Framework
I had the same frustration as you. Root your Nexus, Download Xposed framework the Gravity Box for KitKat module and you can add toggles and change other stuff if you want. Its perfect for customizing your stock os.
Id recommend make a nandroid backup and save it. I dont know if it effects your phone when you get an OTA update. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THIS I love my Nexus now
I really miss this feature from the AOKP and Carbon ROMs with my Nexus 4. I'm currently on Cataclysm ROM but after discovering Xposed Framework recently will be switching to a stock ROM and using just Xposed so I can finally stop worrying about always updating my ROMs. But if that feature is a ROM feature I'll hold steady and just wait it out.
Yeah, I hope there's a module for this too.
I want the nav bar ring with the screenshot option.
Any ideas?

Gravity box has an "application launcher". Closest thing I'm getting to nav bar rings is assigning a soft key long press to bring it up. But that's two taps to get what I'd like to do with just one.

Hi! I'm pretty new here.
I was wondering if it is possible to move the navbar buttons in the "back", using the smart key (single press for Home, double for Multitasking ecc.) and so, by using another tweak let the Navbar disappear getting a fullscreen display? Obviously by rooting.
Anyone got some idea?
Hi there. I've done it. You need Android M with root+twrp and xposed.
Then you just need two xposed modules.
1. xposed additions- allows you to map actions to physical buttons. I've set the FPS button to: 1 click=back, long click=home, double click=multitasking and tripple click=torch on/off Worked like a charm.
2. gravitybox- allows you to make changes to the UI. Designed with AOSP launcher in mind, but some functions work with EMUI. In navbar section you can change the size (Setting heigth to 75-80% makes it look quite good, 0% will hide it - i preffered the first option, as having the navbar on was handy when the phone is just sitting on the table etc. Maybe there is a way to make it come up and disappear on demand, but i couldn't be bothered to investigate this.)
The only issue is that xposed has a little issue with emui. Sometimes the dialer crashes when trying to make a phone call. A reboot makes the issue go away for a while, but eventually it's back. I haven't found a solution to this anywhere online.
If anybody here knows how to fix the xposed & emui compatibility issue, or has a method that doesn't require xposed I'd appreciate this information too.
