[Q] Halo for any ROM Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm sure this question has been asked before but the search feature on XDA never works for me and Google hasn't been any help. I'm currently using Cataclysm ROM but I'm considering trying out Carbon ROM. Anyway my question is: Is there a way to get Halo notifications on any ROM? You know like the facebook message notifications. Is There a flashable zip or an APK that will give me Halo notifications on my Nexus 5?
Please try not to flame me I have searched but couldn't find and answer.

the only workaround is through xposed framework, there is a module for that, you will also need an app like floating notifications..
here is a tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mRTaKCBgxc
as for the HALO from paranoid android, you'll either need to find a ROM that already has it, or, since it is open source you can compile it with your own ROM.

no problem
if i remember well basically the idea of the workaround is that the module gives you the "window view" of the apps , and the floating notifications app gives you the HALO circle, so they work in conjunction. Anyways, i think it should work just as the original HALO.

[APP][MOD][4.0+] MIUI v4 Superuser & Permissions for non-MIUI Roms

I liked the simple superuser and permissions management of MIUI v4, so thought I'd port it to work on any ICS rom. Note that this zip will replace Superuser/SuperSU so always take a backup first. I'm not responsible if something goes wrong and you haven't.
Questions you shouldn't ask:
Does this work on gingerbread/froyo etc.
Answer: NO, its ICS+ only.
Does this work on MIUI v4?
Answer: Probably, but if your on v4, you already have it so don't waste both of our time trying.
Anything not specifically related to this apk.
Head over to http://www.miuiaustralia.com/?page_id=840 for more details, screenshots, and downloads
Nice going man, looks good
Any chance you could port the notes app too?

Yeah, its basically the permissions management part of lbe, with super user control added. Lbe make it for miui. I much prefer the look and simplicity of this one to the full lbe.
awesome, it worked for me on a DroidX on ICS. It didnt remove superSU though, is that because it is a data app not system?

Probably. It only remove super user apks from /system/app
Data ones you can uninstall yourself, and it won't cause any harm if it stays there, it just won't do anything as the su binary will call this app instead.
Ok, that's what I thought. I usually put it in system but every new ROM install removed it so I got lazy lol. Thanks

If it changed ANYTHING at all on a miui v4 rom other than the dark theme, I would be having words with your dev as this is exactly the same as what's already included, they're doing something wrong.
Do you think you can port the miui clock app [not widget]?
If this the one that gives prompts when an app tries to send a sms etc?

Hi, First off I am a big fan of cLock and want to thank you for takeing the effort, and perfecting it and bringing it to non cm roms. I just would like to give a feedback for you. I downloaded newest version from play store. Although it has installed seemingly fine, and it does start when clicking the icon and can do the settings, when trying to add it to one of the homescreens or to the lockscreen it says "application is not installed" I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9505 with newest 4.3 stock modifed rom (omega v13.1). Hope you'll be able to fix it soon and we all can enjoy this superb app!

[Q] Possible to Replace Built-In SuperUser with SuperSU in ROM Settings?

Does anyone know if this is possible?
Actually, does anyone know if any of these are possible?
1.) Replace the Visually Built-In SuperUser with SuperSU found in the ROM Settings.
2.) Completely Remove/Uninstall SuperUser from ROM Settings so that it can no longer be seen or found.
If so, would you please be so kind in posting a simple tutorial?
Thanks so much in advance!
You would have to decompile the settings apk and remove the header for the superuser app. Then you would need to create a new header linked to an intent that would open the SuperSU package. Not really worth the amount of work if you ask me.
You do realize that by flashing SuperSU on top of a rom that already has superuser built in, superuser is completely removed and replaced by SuperSU regardless of the fact that it still has a header in the settings.

After reading your very much appreciated response, I take it that neither of these can be done neither quick or easy.
Thank you and yes I do understand that, but I atleast want to remove it if I can't replace it. For me personally, it sticks out like a swore thumb.
I truly think that even if only one of these were available, countless people would appreciate it. When researching this I found nearly endless posts on the subject where users were trying to do something of the matter. Sounds like it might be worth it?

I apologize for my late reply. I wasn't aware that anyone has made a post after my last.
Anyway, just recently I discovered Xposed Framework and its awesome potential, so I am now using SuperSU and using Google's stock 4.4.2 ROM.
I really appreciate you offering to help me, that's really cool thank you. Now that I'm on the stock 4.4.2 ROM my only desire to still do this would be to implement/embed my SuperSU app into my settings which I think would be so cool seeing that its an original stock ROM. Similar to the way the custom CM ROMs do it but not the way they prompt you for root permission, I would simply like to keep the way SuperSU does it with its popup.
If you are still help me with this and willing to give it a shot, that would be really cool and I would feel pretty special having being the only one with SuperSU embedded into stock ROM settings . If you are still willing to attept something like this please let me know as I would be stoked having the original SuperSU embeded into the settings of the original 4.4.2 stock ROM . Thanks a lot!

Sure, but the problem is that since you are now on stock rom, the phone is now odexed. Each apk has a corresponding odex file, which makes it tougher to modify stuff like this. If you could switch the stock deodexed rom it might make this possible.

It is the same with odexed as well. We need to add the manifest name of the su app to the settings header. Add png of size, add strings and done. 5 min job and chromium, nice to talk to you

Oh, for some reason I thought that odexed ROMs needed some extra things done for apk modifications. Sorry for the misinformation.
I am running Mahdi ROM, latest version came with Superuser. I prefer SuperSU as it gets updated and maintained more often, so I flashed the latest (1.91) update zip and now I have both. It did not remove the integrated Superuser that came with the ROM settings.

[APP] Galaxy Lockscreen Effects

Just want to share another simple app of mine that allows you to use the hidden lockscreen effects available on Note 4 or S5. Just download and install. No root required. See screenshot for available lockscreen effects.
DOWNLOAD HERE
Tested on my Note 3 N9005 Lollipop but I believe some of the effects will work on other Galaxy devices.
Use at your OWN RISK.
Amazing.
It have me system ui force close when I selected ink effect, and for other effects they didn't seem to work. And I had a tough time to get my phone back to working. I almost thought I would have to reflash. Thanks anyway, maybe it is not for me.

Here you are. I've extracted them especially for you from the Malaysk ROM. The launcher you are looking for is the GS one
P.S. It could be that you also need the widgets. Ask me again if so.

HCT is the software developer of different Android head units like HA, GS, KGL, LM, KLD, ... The software installed on the units is the same, only the launchers are different. That`s why this apk is called HCTwidget_GS.apk. GS is Xtrons (seller).
Hey Guys,
thx Oberbergler for the upload, but it doesnt work for me and my friend.
The installer just says that he cant install this program. (Launcher3_GS.apk) @erdloch
Did u had any success with the installation?

That's a package name problem because all hct launchers in Android 8 are using the same package name. You have to uninstall the stock launcher of your ROM first.
I had no chance to try it yet, but will probably do this today or tomorrow.
Maybe a stupid question, but what happens when I delete the stock launcher? Do I still have an interface where I can install the Launcher3_GS.apk? Do I get the "standard" Android launcher?

Thx for the answer.
I've uninstalled all the launchers in the system apps including Launcher3, except the LauncherLM. That's the only launcher remaining on my device.
And i still can't install the Launcher3_GS.apk
Do you know where I've could went wrong?
I have the same problem as waxjee...any suggestions?
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it. We need an app with different package name, but I don't know how to compile it.

You could try changing the package name by editing the AndroidManifest.xml file using apkstudio. I use version 4.0.3 and have done with other apps that I need original and modified versions installed on the same deviice and it works great.
Change the package name (Usually top line "package=")
Save
Build
Sign
Then copy to your device and install
The save, build, sign are all buttons on the toolbar, and I have found it works a treat.
Hello,
wanted to ask if someone has already solved the problem, the GS Launcher to install and if he did it how the whole thing works.
Thank you for your feedback
Hi, i found this forum thread after looking for the exact same launcher theme. Im havin no luck installing it, i seem to have no permissions to install it at all. I've yet to try apkstudio, but im completely unable to uninstall the stock launcher, the option is greyed out! Any ideas?
This would also be very useful for me too as I am indeed looking for this launcher. But my unit has not been rooted and have no wish too... can this still be done?
It's an old thread but hopefully it's still alive
I tried changing the package name using APKStudio but somehow I couldn't. Can someone with the right skill set please change the package name for the "GS" LAUNCHER located in the first page and uploaded it back here. Thanks a lot!
any one had any luck with this?
anyone get this working?
