I know xposed is still an in progress thing for lollipop, and I know that a lot of people have been running it just fine. I am mostly wondering if the G3 Tweakbox runs fine on lollipop? I use a bunch of modifications from it on my phone and would hate to give it up just to move to lollipop.
In my experience it does install fine with the latest version of xposed, just make sure you get the latest alpha of G3TWB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53618487&postcount=3
As far as specific tweaks working, it seems to be a mixed bag. For example, I was able to get circle battery but not AOSP status bar icons. In fact, I would expect probably most of the theme functionality probably will not work quite yet.

I am running Beanstown 106 and was wondering if there was a way to (without using a theme) add/remove the widgets that show up when you pull-down the top-menu? I want to get rid of some and add others but I don't see a way of doing that without adding a theme.
Thank you in advance.
Nop. Its a mess right now because devs are creating themes roms and mods and people have issues when they mix and match.
I have beans version 6 and i flashed the mod toggle and that broke my status bar.
Developers need to start working together so the mods can be baked in the rom so we dont have to download kazillion themes and mods for a rom.

So basically you want something like Cyanogenmod 7's customizable toggles? (I haven't tried CM9 or 10, but I'm assuming they also have it)
Once devs override or unlock the bootloader, you can install CM9/10 with very little worry of bricking, but until then you're pretty much stuck with these static menus.w
I have a few questions and gripes about Lollipop that i'm hoping some of you can help me with.
1. I feel like im one of the few people that actually hates the new navigation icons. ABSOLUTELY hate them. I used to use GravityBox and PIE so i dont even see them that often but 5.0 has no Xposed support. Can anyone suggest an app that works on 5.0 that allows me to change the look of the nav bar icons? All the ones ive tried on the play store dont work and everything I google suggests that I want get the 5.0 icons instead of get rid of them.
2. There has got to be a way to get a clear all button in the recents menu. (once again Xposed is gone now)
These are the two things I really cant live without, there are plenty more things that Xposed allowed me to do that I will miss but these are the two things that really just made Android perfect for me. I wish the Xposed dev would realize how important that Mod is too all of us because think currently he has no immediate plans to bring it to 5.0 ((((((
If you know anything I can do to solve these problems please help.
I'm still sitting on 4.4.4 as I was waiting for some bugs to be squashed in Lollipop. Initially my thoughts about Lollipop were probably like most tech addicts, "newer is better." But in reading more in depth about the changes, I'm not impressed. So I pulled the trigger anyway on my LG Google Play Tablet (not my Nexus 5 phone.) And, I was not impressed at all.
- The notifications on the pull-down and lock screen are BUTT UGLY with the white background.
- No lockscreen widgets (which I use Widget Locker anyway, but still)
- No Xposed Framework compatibility (this one is a BIGGIE)
So I'm on the fence about upgrading my Nexus 5. Can someone tell me specifically what is so much better that it would justify overlooking these drawbacks (and other's I didn't mention) and upgrading now instead of waiting for a better version or at least until Xposed Framework supports ART?

Only things that are better is more security loops fixed by google
I personally really like lollipop. It feels a lot more snappy than KitKat. Given that I know exposed framework issue is due to switch to art and the Dev can't find docs on it.

I'm curious what "more snappy" really means. Has anyone done any before/after timing comparisons to see how much faster it really is? Would it be any faster than going into Developer Options on 4.4.4 and turning ART on?
I said it feels more snappy as in visually. I think someone benchmarked between kitkat and lollipop on a device an found that lollipop actually ran a little slower in some spots. I think lollipop has only a couple of odd quirks. The biggest one being the lack of a sound toggle button in the notifications area.
Until Xposed works with ART, I cannot possibly upgrade. There are two things I like about Lollipop - 1) the notification pop ups and 2) the soft keys, which I can later customize with gestures. XPrivacy is the biggest deal for me, followed by APM+, App Settings and Secure Settings.
Guys whom have updated, is it any better?
Any key differences
after updating to OREO everything works fine for me.
nothing is missed.
big differences:
* newer security patch level and better battery performance
* (and if it should work: ) project treble
BTW:
dirty over vs. new installation = in most cases it seems to make no differences (my experience)
:good:
Better multitasking, smoother transitions, menus are changed a little bit but overall it looks almost the same as emui 7. There are a lot of under the hood improvements such as notification settings better memory management and battery life.
Visually it's different (because new Android version).
What I found is that the lockscreen notifications for audio and video players have a visual bug - the controls are slightly off to the right so the 'next' button goes over the thumbnail and is hard to see.
Definitely better battery life. Don't really care for the new System settings layout but who cares, you only use it rarely? Never use stock launchers, so again who cares? Other than that it is great.
Better battery life for me ! All is working great.
Thanks gents
Still on the beta 321 version (567 US version)...STILL WAITING
But, the 321 version for me is stable
Oreo has all better things compared to Nougat except custom rom and magisk as well as xposed. It has only root with SuperSU, not enough for me. Will come back to Oreo later if Xposed is compatible

What are you using xposed for may I ask.
I used to run magisk to get YouTube ad free and ad blocker but there are ways around that now

I use xposed for many reasons as well as functions cuz no phone is perfect. And with xposed I can transform my phone to its hidden perfect mode lol It contains wide range of useful modules so it always make you feel interested in exploring and enjoying.
I am experiencing a few little issues that I am hoping will be addressed soon, though to be fair I think the problem is because of EMUI 8. Main problem is some of my widgets wont update. Oreo has some little features like app shortcuts which are cool but I wouldnt rush to upgrade.
Hello, so I flashed Xposed Framework on my Honor 8, its working fine, few modules I tested out work flawlessly, but I'm curious if you guys know some good and useful modules that work.
So far I've tried:
- Amplify
- Greenify
- Flat Style Bar Indicators (even though it has some problems)
- Disable Full Screen Keyboard
- YT AdAway
- YT Background Playback
- Gravitybox (I only tested a few functions and they seem to work)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
Almost all of them lol. Modules released for nougat have been out for quite a bit already.

Oh, that is nice to hear. Actually I'm looking for something to stockify EMUI, gravitybox says that it could cause bootloops on heavily skinned androids like touchwiz, miui etc., so I'm a bit scared of testing it out, so if you know a module which could change the qs menu for example, I'm well aware of the Material Notification Shade app, but it doesn't support fingerprint gestures which I use a lot, and it's a bummer, so if you know anything that could help, I'd appreciate it a lot

Gravitybox works from what I remember. I didn't have too many things enabled but I never experienced a bootloop the entire time I used it. What exactly are you looking to do to the was menu?

I want to make it as stock as possible, I don't hate emui's way, but I prefer the whole stock pulldown menu, idk if you can even do that with gravitybox, but I'm looking for something that can, if there is no such stuff, it's fine, I can live without it.
