Hey ppl,
so I got myself into rooting and things on my device (Elife E7) but it turned out that the phone doesnt properly support Xposed Framework and its modules. I would love to mod my phone and change visual things like themes and especially my navigation bar.
Can you give me some alternatives if there are some? I started modding with my old Galaxy S Advance and I felt in love!
Sadly I would give up this awesome stuff and use my phone like its supposed to.
I hope you can give me some answers and for that I thank you in Advance .
Regards
Christian
Xposed is one-of-a-kind. There's not even really any poor imitations. The only thing that comes close in terms of visual tweaks is finding a custom ROM that bakes those features in. I have no idea what, if any are available for your device.

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 am new to the whole phone hacking scene. I have installed Cyanogen before but that's about it.
I read the bootloader on the flex 2 is locked.
Then I read about xposed.
If I just want the visual side ( notification area dialer and such) of marshmallow does this help me out is it more for tweaks?
Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

Xposed has some modules that will tweak certain functions (GravityBox for Lollipop). Sounds like you're looking for a launcher replacement. Google Now Launcher is the closest thing to stock Marshmellow you're going to get on the Flex 2 right now.
Thanks. And I am in fact using the Google now launcher with the Google keyboard. Sounds like that may be as close as I can get right now
Hey guys, I've been waiting patiently for xposed to hit N however it looks like we might never get it. I was wondering what apps/mods everyone has been using in the mean time - possibly ones that function much like a favorite module etc.

I haven't been paying attention to exposed so I'm curious why we may never see it?

I don't know the ins and outs of the development but briefly looking through the threads for N support a good deal of people are saying we most likely won't get it. With the security changes it seems like it's become much harder and, keeping in mind I haven't used xposed for about 4 or 5 years, that support for 6.0 was unexpected.
With the new phone I figured a few power users came over, and without xposed found their tweaks elsewhere via other apps and mods.
I mainly used it for luxury things like changing the UI (system icons in statusbar, misc system settings, volume button music control, etc.), which can also be accomplished with the many ROMs we have. Other uses were tweaks to snapchat, instagram, etc., that were nice things to have but I'd much rather have a newer phone and newer OS than stick with something old just for that.
Generally though, many of the features I liked about using Xposed years ago are either implemented in stock Android and applications themselves now, or can have similar solutions with just root.
Well, I have just a few things I use Xposed for and here are my alternatives for N:
Battery % and center clock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/themes/mods-nmf26q-internet-traffic-speed-t3529573
Navbar swap recents/back: <same thread as above>
Headphone volume warning disable: Not sure how it disappeared, but I think this mod did it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-enabling-dual-speaker-audio-playback-t3492257
Animation speed @ 0.75% (I believe this is the perfect speed, not too fast nor slow ): http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/1...-animation-speed-android-works-stock-devices/
Enable Google assistant: Oh wait.. the pixel already comes with it
Youtube block ADs: <no alternative found> If ya guys got any solution, please share!
Not a huge list, but that's enough customization for me.
Hey there !! I have a rooted s7 edge and I love this phone. I switched over from IPhone to Android. I love androids customization but it doesn't beat IPhone when IPhone is jailbroken. I was wondering, does Android has any similar tweaks that IPhone does? The tweaks I'm looking for ::
IPhone tweak App Heads
( First photo )
It's basically a multitask switcher but the CUSTOM icon is at the top.
IPhone Tweak Anemone
(Second photo )
If you notice, around the icons there is a bubble with sparkles around them. They can have filters around the icons. That would be awesome on an Android device.
IPhone tweak Eclipse
Decorates the entire UI system with 2/3 colors. System AND APPS.
Not trying to start anything by saying app is better, but they have a lot of nice tweaks that are updated and look great on the phone. I haven't seen any new mods or anything for Android. Just typical stuff for longer battery, nothing developing as far as tweaks for customization. People say androids customization is great, but I just see a bunch of old stuff , nothing really new.

Why not simply go to the Samsung Theme Store, it's an option under settings.
There you will find similar if not nicer themes for the S7/S7 Edge, a lot of them
are free and the paid themes are only a couple bucks or less and there are
hundreds to choose from.
There are dozens of home screen launchers which also have a lot of customization
and many user features and option which can be enabled or disabled.
The launchers can be found at the play store and most of them are free.
Many of the themes have icons with similar cartoonish features.
Your phone does not even need to be rooted to use the theme
store themes.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Thank you for the advice but I am fully aware of the Samsung store and it's themes. I'm not concerned about the themes, I have my own. I'm also aware of the launchers, but what I'm looking for are tweaks, not themes. My phone looks really good and I'm not even done customizing it yet. I'm just looking for tweaks to help bring more life into the phone. It would be really nice to customize the phone and have awesome tweaks like IPhone

If you are not looking for themes or launchers then that means you
are looking for extra features & options in custom roms where there
are many mods to choose from and are not found in stock firmware.
There are so many mods, features and options in custom roms that
it cannot compare with any of the jailbroken iphones I have seen.
Good luck,
Have a great day..

Yes, that's why I first mentioned that my device is rooted. But thank you !! Have a great day as well.
In case if your phone is on Marshmallow you can use xposed and can change the behavior of the system and apps more deeply.
Xposed is basically Cydia for android. Check out xtouchwiz once you get xposed running! ;]
Oh and check out some custom roms, they normally bring some pretty neat tweaks to the table as well.
"ROM CONTROL" for samsung roms is pretty amazing aswell.
There are many tweaks but nothing like cydia unfortunately.
Samsung themes are pretty poor but that's because of touchwiz is still bit ugly.

You can retain all your applications, BUT always enable USB debugging and authorize your phone to a PC before starting, and then DO NOT OTA update with overlays installed.
What happens if it has had an OTA with theme installed?
