Installed the latest AOKP Rom a couple of days ago, really brought this tablet alive IMHO. One slight annoyance that I probably caused myself and just haven't been able to figure out what I did. I now have a small blue bar under the home screen button. I don't remember it being there when I first loaded the Rom, but it might have been. Is this by default or does anyone know how I can remove it?
Its the battery bar disable it in the rom control settings
Everyone who has this device should agree that it is flying, the S800 International version at least has had absolutely no stutter so far for me, however since using Gravitybox, the Xposed Module, there have been occasional slowdowns and even freezes where I cannot even scroll down a list. I love all CM-like functionality of Gravitybox but why does it slow this monster device down so much. Have it on my ASUS TF700 which is not that fast at all (Tegra 3) and it doesn't have a huge impact there?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Can it be narrowed down to specific tweaks? I tried with transparency enabled and disabled, no noticeble difference, but turning the whole module off makes a very noticeble difference. Any ideas? Don't know if this is relevant but I have a N9005, rooted, has TWRP recovery installed and running Omega 3.1, I also installed a debloating zip that got rid of loads of apps I won't use anyway.
I have problems with xblast module, especifically with the status bar, it freezes the screen for about a minute, then "ui has stopped" messages, your problem is with gravity, but there must be some common factor with xblast, I guess

I also tried Wanam's Xposed module, same thing happens. Wanam's doesn't officially support the Note 3, although I've found many features to be working perfectly. This module also has the same slowing effect as Gravity Box. I don't actually know alot about how these modules work but here's what I think may be happening: The Xposed module is making it's various changes to the System UI, then something within the Samsung firmware changes it back, and then the Xposed module again changes it, and so on... So it's like the module is fighting with Samsung firmware for control, resulting in the slowdown. This is obviously pure speculation since I don't actually know much at all about this, if someone else does know, please correct me. Right now the only features I really want are: Hold Volume up/down for skip music track and XuiMod's module, I can do without theming or other fancy things such as pie controls.
I have xposed + wanam and I don't see a big slow down. I'm using an at&t rooted SM-900A with MI9 version. Seems that the problem is only happening on newer Samsung Roms.
Thanks I didn't update the software. I also didn't trip Knox because of this.
Xposed and wanam too on my N9005. Rooted on Mj7 I don't experience any perceiveable performance loss despite the phone being a little slow waking up or going to sleep. But I cannot tell if this was different without all this. I've added xposed 3 days after buying, so I don't recall if this was different completely stock.
It does say in the write up, that it's not play nice with Touch Wiz, as it's mainly for vanilla versions of android, perhaps you're having problems due to that very reason.

I'm using both wanam and gravity box to achieve what I want, but I expect zero lag or other problems! but: I'm using nova launcher instead of touch wiz, so it seems that that could be your trouble!

i'm not using wanam or gravity box. i use nova launcher as well. but what i have noticed is that once i install the xposed framework, it takes so freaking long to complete the bootup process. it seems like 5 to 7 minutes from power on until the last toast notification message from supersu appears. and if i uninstall xposed framework, the bootup process is extremely fast. once the bootup is complete with xposed, everything runs at normal speed though.
i haven't been able to find any mention of such problems anywhere. it is some consolation to see that it's not my imagination that xposed is causing some issues for others as well.
I'm using nova launcher with wanam and gravitybox and I have absolutely no lag besides a slight hickup when turning my screen on. I also have 80 extra apps and games. Maybe you folks have a defective note

I open this for get an analysis for a evidences slow down performance on every note with stock Rom then I have.
test on note2, note3 and note4 get me rallenty result on boot (more time that normal to view desktop), on connection usb with pc (long time to recognize device, not depend on which OS), system app's booting 3-4 slow time that normal (rotate control, gear manager ecc). Ram saturation not change but showy lags on interface and switch to App's.
this is indipendent than Module (lastest test is without module's).
when I remove a framework all return normally.
I don't understand Why??
From the original gravitybox repo info:
Compatibility
- .....
- DOES NOT support devices running ROMs vastly modified by device manufacturers (HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, ...)
- SHOULD NOT be used with custom ROMs like CM, AOSPA, RootBox, SlimBean and others - it makes no sense since the most of the features are already
in the ROM (may cause conflicts and unexpected behaviour)
When you only need the resign of the buttons (like myself.. that was the only reason i used it) you find in the xposed download: xposed additions for remaping
Same problem.
Well, I had rooted and installed Xposed+Gravity on my friend's device and he too has reported lags on his device. My guess is, somehow the default framework and systemui aren't allowing the module to modify them, probably, that's why the problem. Also, I tried making GB and Xposed a system application and then wiping data+cache, but still, there was no noticeable change.
Interestingly, when I installed these modules separately, like advanced power menu, double tap to sleep, lollipop navigation bar etc, there was hardly any lag.
So, I think, taking GB out is the answer, but again, how many modules can we install for each function?
These are the modules I am using as a substitute:
APM+: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus
Flat Style Colored Bars: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bocharov.xposed.fscb
DoubleTapToSleep: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.doubletaptosleep
Lollipop Navigation Bar: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ash.androidlnavigationbar
Note: I disabled the stock launcher and using Apex Pro. Its small and eats lesser memory.
I hope it helps a bit.
Why did the recent apps turn to crap with marshmallow? The rotary used to scroll so silky smooth now it sucks, it skips 2 or more at a time and stops so abruptly it's like it's being operated by a hand crank rather than the old rotary wheel feel. It's driving me crazy! Anyone else??
I much prefer this new one. You can actually see what's on each screen now.
It looks ok. I'm not a big user of recent apps used. As long as it there, its ok. It doesn't seem to be buggy for me and its working just fine.
I totally agree

I totally agree. I can't come to terms with the new recent apps, either. It's annoying me so much, that I'm actually considering switching to another rom because of it. However, I don't want to lose the good stock camera app. Does anyone know another way to get back the old app switcher?
I just checked xposed for a module fixing this, but coudn't find anything.
By the way, I'm using a Galaxy S7 after switching from a Note 5. It's exactly the same. My old S5, which recently received its 6.0.1 update, still has the old recent apps (and also the blue theme inside the quick settings).

My note 5 isn't rooted (verizon) but a factory wipe made the recent apps run a lot smoother after the MM update
My recent apps on my Note 5 (AT&T + stock marshmallow) is always blank... have to use the app manager and force stop to restart apps
Morning,
So I purposely went from running a lineage based ROM to a locked bootloader and TW on 4.4.2. I am happy with it. Battery life is better and things like the compass work now. I am currently runnng the PaulPizz ROM, so I am rooted.
I am using an app called "Button Mapper" to remap my buttons to a style more to my liking. What I would like to know is if there is more of a lower level way of doing this, like some build prop edits or something? I would like to remap my buttons without running a service in th background... I can look into Xposed, but I imagine it may be tricky, being that I am on a several year old KitKat OS, and I don't know how it works as far as whether or not it makes lower level changes to the system or just runs as a background service.
Thanks for your time!
In case anyone wanted to add some tweaks to their G7, while we wait for any roms..if any are released.
Clearly not my work, just linking, and confirming it works fine with Moto G7. Haven't test all tweaks, but simple ones such as battery percentage text and hide battery icon.
Big thanks to C3C076, if this was useful to you, you can thanks his post.

I installed GB the other day and haven't had any issues so far. Thanks.
It's good. Still looking for a way to get back Slim Recents/vertical recents window!
Awesome. Works on Moto G7 rooted with TWRP, Magisk, EdXposed. still passes safety net. Just waiting for custom rooms or even more customization. I miss the level of UI mods I could do on my Galaxy S7 where I could change colors for all my app icons notification background/ foreground and made everything so pretty and themed. I know I can get icon packs but I like the stock icons. I know once it develops lore and we get more mods and ROMS this will be an awesome phone.
Curious, what version of EdXposed did you settle with?
Also, do you ever experience this weird behavior when you restart your phone sometimes the font/icons are really small? It's like the screen DPI get's set or interpreted incorrectly every so often at boot
Works for me too.
