So I LOVE Themer! But, for some odd reason it chooses not to work on our Moto X. I get an error that states the DPI on our device is not compatible with Themer. What's odd is that I was able to get it to work at one point, but it had problems. Anyone else know of a way to fix this?

did you resize the nav bar via gravity box or similar? thats what i did and had to revert to 100% to test themer.
Last time I checked it was working fine. but yeah, a different sized navbar will mess it up, so make sure its stock height.

I did reseize the NAV bar. I never would have thought of that. Time to switch back
I wish themer didn't check the DPI. I loved themer on my S4 but I can't stand the default nav bar size on the X to be able to use it.

I just received it this afternoon, and have been getting things set up. So far, I'm loving it! But, there are a few things I've noticed that bother me. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
1. Can I change the location of the "apps" icon on the homescreen? I'm so used to it being in the middle of the 5 dock icons. But, it doesn't seem to let me change it.
2. Auto-brightness keeps getting unchecked, even though I select it. Why is this?

Sadly, no. It's just one of the limitations of the TouchWiz launcher. Have a look at Google Now Launcher or Nova Launcher.

That is odd and sounds like a bug of some sort. In the week I've had mine, I've yet to experience this, so I can't be much help there.
I've read a few other posts on the forums about the auto brightness thing. Seems to be a bug that'll hopefully get fixed with an update.

Use lux auto brightness. Best brightness app. Nova launcher best launcher ever
Lux doesn't work right in lollipop. When pop-ups come up, (like to grant root access), you can't select anything.
Would like to know if its possible? I rather Softkeys and disable capacitive buttons, just my preference; however nothing seems to work. Modifying build.prop does nothing and enabling navigation bar through Gravity Xposed causes SystemUI crashes.
Sorry NO. I tried via gravitybox but got fc system all the time device couldn't boot up properly. Had to uninstall all the xposed and reinstall again
Ok thank you for the response guess we need to wait a little longer when there is another method available.
Are you rooted, I know the note 2 you could edit the build prop. also there is an xsposed module , I forgot what its is called softkeys or something.

Yes I'm rooted, I tried editing build prop through ES File explorer and Xposed but nothing brings up the soft keys.
That stinks, sorry about that. I just searched and this guy says that there is an app in the play store you can use, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_eJbLeZtSs It looks like the stock soft keys but i know its not exactly what you looking for, but the video shows it functions the same.

yes I tried that app however it blocks content that sits behind the bar and it gets annoying lol. Funny thing is I was able to turn off the capacitive buttons while keeping the home button working but for the life of me I just can't get anything app or mod or xposed to bring up the navigation bar.

Yes, I added that entire line exact then rebooted and nothing. No navigation bar even the when I go back to the buid prop I see that the line is still there. Thanks
I'd also like to know if this is possible, sick of pressing the hardware buttons by mistake, I tried editing the build prop and trying to force it through gravity box but the latter caused the system ui to constantly crash so I had to restore my backup.

If you install Good Lock then use Gravity Box it works.

Not on MM mate , ,
Those interested in enabling navbar perhaps up-vote my request here http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=14415#featureRequests
So my device is now rooted and running magisk + xposed. I haven't installed many modules yet, just viper4androidFX, VOLTE, and gravity box. I also switched my launcher back to my good old comfortable sense 9 launcher. Works almost perfect, I am getting HTC service pack FC every so often, but I can live with that for now if it lets me use the launcher I want.
Anyway, there are a couple tweaks I'd like to make that I had on my old phone, but I can't use the same sense based xposed modules so I was wondering if anyone knew of any xposed or magisk modules, or some other method to achieve these mods on the ROG.
1. change Icon shape/size as by default, the top of the circle shape gets cut off on the homescreen. Changing size under display settings fixes this, but then I find some things TOO small
2. Make status bar always opaque black with white icons
3. change battery icon (I have a pack I want to install in PNG format) - I've done the systemui.apk method in lollipop, can anyone tell me if this is the only currently working method?
After this the only thing I want to do is fix the force close and take a nanodroid backup in twrp (when its officially available for .48 or later fw)
Thanks in advance!
Regarding point one the only thing I can think of is using Nova launcher. Here you can change the size of the icons on the homescreen, their style aswell as their labels.
The only easy way I know of to change the battery icon is with Gravitybox.
Which options did you activate in Gravitybox?
If I try modding the statusbar or navbar I'm getting a ton of force closes from SystemUI or the screen stays black after a reboot. Which I suppose is a compatibility error given that this isn't exactly AOSP.

Well I fixed the icons getting cut off by setting a custom dpi thats sort of in between small and default. Looks okay I guess, not a huge fan of the circle icon but at least its not cut off.
in gravitybox I changed these settings:
power button torch
torch timeout set to 30 mins
increase volume steps
increased AM/PM scaling to 75%
changed 4g to LTE
allow all rotations
some settings would cause the same black screen you mentioned, in which case I would reboot to safe mode, clear the app data, reboot and try new settings until it worked. I'm not sure which setting exactly causes this but most of them still do work. I am able to change the battery icon in gravitybox also, but I don't really love what they have so I left it off. Maybe if they allowed percent only, or if you could change the font and position of "battery text". Theirs is too bold for me and not in the right spot.
Its too bad no one else seems to want a static status bar. Always black looks so nice IMO and no modules that support past lollipop offer such a thing :/
Were you able to make much improvement in the sound quality with Viper? From what I've read and heard, the speakers are loud but lacking quality.
What is your impression of the cameras? Any interest in trying gCam?
Not sure who your carrier is but does the VoLTE module work for you? Literally the only thing preventing me from using my phone as a daily driver is VoLTE and WiFi calling (no cell signal at work unfortunately). But would like some feedback before I go down this path myself.

Haven't tested it yet, but the module itself installs and causes no problems of its own. I'll definitely let you know next time I get a call!
(PS Im on Bell in Ontario which from my understanding does support VoLTE, not sure if thats for all LTE bands but the ROG has 4/6 lte bands that bell offers.)
Even if it turns out its not working right now doesn't mean someone wont figure out how to force enable at some point. And there are a handful of modules that are working so I expect there will be more over time.

The speakers by default IMO are pretty good quality as long as you don't set it to outdoor mode. (for reference my PC speakers are 8" studio monitors) There was some muddiness somewhere between the 125hz and 250hz band, and a bit of harshness around 4khz so I bumped them down a few db in viper and it sounds a bit clearer and smoother.
The phone comes with "audiowizard" which at least gives you a treble/bass slider and a 6 band eq so I'm just using viper to fine tune the speakers and BT audio.
Cameras are actually pretty good. I'm coming from a HTC One m7 so maybe I just dont know what I'm talking about but I thought the quality was good. Someone here posted about video being noisy in low light, which it kinda is, but if you use pro mode you can change "S" which I assume is shutter speed or something which when set right looks much much better.(and a little darker) Still way better than the m7. I can post some examples if you'd like.
I tried gcam but I dont think it was using any ai processing because the images came out worse. maybe it was an older apk. I was more focused trying to get sense weather clock widget working haha
Thanks for the reply.
Which gCam did you try? There is a moribund thread discussing gCam for ROG here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone/themes/google-camera-rog-phone-t3858294.

Yea I saw that thread, I tried the one linked up top. I read through the other posts but didn't bother going through that big unsorted list linked lower down. If someone wants to point me to the correct apk to download I would test it out.

Hi bro can you teach me how to root my Rog phone please
Sorry but may I ask how you got viper to work at all?
I install it via magisk and do the activate/reboot as usual but after opening viper and checking the status, I see it says abnormal which means it's not working.
Any ideas or help to get this working for me and maybe others with the same problem?
Thanks.

Yea make sure you have busybox installed, and selinux permissive before installing viper. I used "the selinux switch" from the play store. Let me know if that works. TBH I think its selinux that prevents it from running correctly.
If that doesn't work, you can also try audio mod library in magisk, i installed that in case the the asus eq app would conflict with viper. And also so I can stack that + ViperFX + Xhifi haha
BTW still on FW .48 from november, never bothered to update...

Thanks, i had busybox already as a magisk module installed, as well as the audio mod library, so really the only thing i did'nt try was the selinux switch, so i install it & set that to permissive then got viper to work from magisk.
Thanks heaps for that info . :good:

The steps are quite straightforward & has worked for me.
Reply back if something isn't clear or if you're stuck on a particular step & someone can surely help you out.
Like the title says, my brightness slider just disappeared from the notification pull down area. Im running oxygen os 10 with root, twrp, No Limits magisk rom, elemental x 2.0 kernel, and substratum lite mod that changes fingerprint icon. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
I have the same problem, I didn't find a solution yet
what I found out is that the slider reappears when I create another user... so it looks like it's some kind of broken user setting
Could it be your DPI settings? Just throwing something out there...
what version of android

I was able to replicate what you said and it disappears again after switching back to my normal profile. I guess it is a broken system setting that they have to iron out.
Remove black bar from under keyboard
Termux
su
wm overscan 0,0,0,-75
To revert back to default change the -75 to 0
Thanks. That actually bugged me allot. Any problems you encountered in apps? Also great instructions. Simple and to the point.

Yeah I was aiming to make it as simple as possible. I don't know if it was you but I do recall somebody asking about the specific feature so I looked into it and sure enough there was a workaround I have an encounter any issues with any apps so far. It's working great
Well one issue is your controls disappear. So the bring down keyboard button disappears
Another issue is the keyboard is shifted right in landscape mode. Doesn't look good
