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.

Wow, that was all I needed Thanks a lot... Tasker gradually becomes obsolete for me for many tasks, day by day...
Just wanted to share with everyone that in my desperate attempts to find a way to modify the Stock Navbar I tried out the LG Navbar Xposed module and it works perfect! No 4 or 5 button but it has plenty of buttons to choose for the three available including long press customization for each one. Works perfect transparency stays intact as well as modifications from other modules (gravitybox navbar height). The only thing I've noticed is that the 3 dot button on the navbar will still pop up on apps requiring it. I just used softkeyz and downloaded the invisible buttons from the user gallery so its still there but I don't have to look at it.

You should have just used Gravity Box xposed module. Among every other tweak available to you in GB, there is also a section for modifying NavBar. I shrunk mine down because I don't think it needs to be that big, added always on menu button, and then turned on Immersive Mode (which is really awesome, I prefer it to pie and it's still basically stock android, both function and form wise).
I use the gravitybox module but can't stand not having a dedicated menu button. I know there is the always on option in gravity box but I am left handed and can't stand stretching over to reach it. Plus this has long press options. I find it a lot nicer having the menu button with long press for recents. Just letting people know of more options. As someone who normally uses cyanogenmod and AOKP and adds a menu button immediately I found this perfect for me.

Oh nice, didn't realize there were that many more options available, going to have to check it out and maybe use GB for everything else but NavBar. Thanks.
Maybe I'm missing something, but when i follow the link to the thread, it then takes me to the playstore, where it says its incompatible with my device.

I got it installed but it's very limited in scope unless you unlock the premium version. I'll stick with GravityBox.
I got GravityBox to work for me in remapping the useless Recent Apps to the Menu button and I just have to think that the icon for Recent Apps is the menu. The only way I found.. You have to map hardware buttons to change this. You can also add Kill App to long press on the Back button.

Guys,
Can somebody tell me how can I remove that little triangle showing in the bottom center of the lockscreen that is used to launch google search ??
It actually is interfering with my Home button on the Navbar as it doesnt disappear after unlocking and in turn shows up behind the Navbar Home button. I have attached the screenshot for your reference (Look at what I have encircled in red in the bottom center of the screen).
I am using Omnirom on my N5
Let's start with "what mod/app did you install on top of your ROM that gave you that little triangle"? The stock ROM doesn't seem to have that.
Ummmm... I dont think i installed any such mod which could have enabled this.. Can you suggest me something???
And the stock omni has one.. I just checked it out.. check the 2nd pic in the attachment in the link that you posted.. Can you see that triangle?

My guess would be it's a bug in the ROM. That arrow is only supposed to be visible on the lockscreen when you don't have a navigation bar. What happens when you tap on the triangle? Does it function as the home button or not? Is there anything in the Omnirom settings to configure the nav bar?
I would say either take it to the Omnirom thread and see if anyone else is having the issue or try flashing another ROM.
okies.. thanks..

I don't think it has anything to do with Omnirom as I'm having the same problem and don't have Omnirom. I'm just running Xposed and Gravity Box and this stupid little arrow has been driving me nuts for about six weeks now.
I though it might have to do with NotificationMod Xposed module so I uninstalled it but it still appears.

Are you running Xposed or GB as well?
If you are, we can try and see which modules we have in common.
Also, I just remembered I messed up flashing something last week and had to factory reset and the arrow is still appearing so it's definitely a bug in some app.

I've disabled SoftKeysFadeMod and am going to look through GEL Settings to see if there's an option to disable GN on lock screen.
I'll probably put my money that SoftKeysFade is the issue.

You have multiple mods that have to do with the navbar. Any one of those could be causing the problem. Try disabling them and reboot.
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.

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.

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

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

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'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.
