in zens slide port, the normal shortcut add button leads to faves. is it possible to do something like that? i like how the app drawer is in the middle, just makes more "sense"(get it?)
tia!
ADDON:
(my ideal setup)
honestly, id like to JUST have an app drawer. we have a hardware phone button that works in taking you to the dialer in any app your in, long press has made the add button obsolete, but ovbiously the app drawer is still needed by default.
i know i know, go to launcher, but i like sense :-D
i know how to use metamorph, so i COULD make buttons transparent, but to switch around the actions...i think will take more dev'ing than im capable of. unless someone has a hardcore article i could read on remapping.

Ive been thinking about that ever since he fixed it. Ive even tried porting that setup over to damage but some of framework is different, and im not really all that good with this stuff....Itd be nice setup though, i like app drawer in the middle too.

ok. but we'd have to have a consensus on the setup we'd want. i vote for JUST an app drawer, for reasons ive stated in the OP. can we agree on that?

Eh, I'd still really like to have the phone button, my green call button sticks some times and acts weird, not to mention I hardly ever use the hard buttons except for ending a phone call or closing an app. I guess its just a habit I have developed.

ok im taking my girl to see kickass right now, and ive promised my torrent community a decent cam over the one floating around right now; in the meantime...reckon you could find anything you can on remapping? ill gladly get this project started up and probably finish it if since it seems like we're the only ones who seem to want it LOL
You guys kill me. Just saw this thread, as I happen to read miscellaneous posts while eating lunch .
I've never really looked at the feasibility of re-mapping buttons for such a purpose. Given that I personally don't have a similar want/need, not sure how much "effort" I'll put into, but I'll take a peek and see what, if anything, can be done.
Personally i love the sense widgets, but hate the bottom buttons, so i use stock home. If theres also a way to change the 7 screens to 5 or 3, that would be awesome. My ideal interface is somewhere between aosp and sense.
I've actually thought about this too and think it would be really neat. App drawer in the middle, phone on the side and replace the "Add to Home" button with something more useful. I never posted anything because I didn't know if it was possible but if it is then I'd love this!

Maybe replace the Add to Home button to Settings or Internet, personally i wouldn't mind figuring out how to change them and switch the phone button to app drawer and add to home to setting and change app drawers current button to internet, then my home screen would be clear.
We've had this convoy before, though slightly different....my preferred setup would be simply replacing the "+" button's add function with a second tray containing shortcuts to your contacts.....pretty much like the people widget, but in a drawer instead of taking up one of my pages. I like having the phone button in the middle, but if some can figure out how to remap the buttons, I wouldn't mind looking in to customizing the layout and functions. Right now, I'm not even sure where to start, lol!
anything different for the "add" button would be great! never understood the need since you can just as easily long press to add
Remapping existing functions is rather easy. Trying to add a new function to a button that does something completely different, though not impossible, would take a lot more work.
Here's a quick "proof of concept" video:
http://screencast.com/t/NDdkNDBmY
I've basically just remapped the application draw and phone launcher buttons to switch. I don't show the left icon press, but it pulls up the phone. Didn't show it in the video, as I don't want to reveal any phone numbers.
There are some bugs to iron out, but if you were to eliminate the left and right buttons all together, it would be good to go now. Currently, and I just started looking at this, if you press the right button, a variable is not getting reset, and then if you press the middle button, it will take you to the shortcuts rather than the app drawer again. But, as soon as you click the 'phone' button, now mapped to the left button, the app drawer in the middle begins working again...

Oh s**t, lookout everybody. I remember what happened the last time mountaindont spearheaded a project, lol
Just giving you crap dude, I'd love to see this happen
i havent completely decided as to how the first set up will be; theres alot of good ideas posted, but we're stuck until i get a starting point. ill probably start out by making my ideal rosie, and share the rescurces and steps to do it.
theory; obviously, the ideal place to start would be in Rosie.apk. perhaps an xml file of some sort? any other ideas?
I recently got my hands on an iPhone and was able to try it out for a week and curious if any of these features have been made for Android whether it be an xposed module or what.
1. Swipe down/up anywhere in a chat to open/close keyboard.
2. Swipe right to back out of a chat.
Any? Those two happen to be the only real things I enjoy about iOS functionality wise so far other than the smooth gorgeous animations and icons.
If not is there anything to make it similar to this? I absolutely love those 2 features.
1.Doubt it, you could look for a module though
2. That's what the back button is for

Yeah I'm aware LOL, I just find swiping actions like that to be so much more enjoyable/convenient than pressing back button, nice change from the same old same old.
I figured the knowledgeable people here could point me to apps (that require root or not) that do things that xposed used to do but now can't:
•Slide on notification bar for brightness (not an actual slider just able to slide)
•lockscreen app targets
•edit quick toggles in any way shape or form
•edit nav bar height
•change recents button into a menu button and remove three dot menus
•advanced power menu options
any info is appreciated!

I wouldn't say it's useless. The developer has stated if he can find a way to bring it to Lollipop, that he will. Rather it's just unusable for now.
Sent from my Nexus 5 on Lollipop 5.0
Lollipop just came out.
Its going to take time to get get custom roms and features rolling
Users need to stop with the [Request] threads. You want something bad enough, learn to dev and make it happen. MOD EDITED - BE RESPECTFUL!!!
Most of the things you mentioned have to be a system modification not an app. Check out the lollipop custom ROMs, some of them have a few of the features you desire. It might be a few months to get Xposed working if possible even. You could always revert to 4.4.4 too.

Perhaps you can share the apps you found so far? Im following your thread bro.
Xposed is just so good, it became a must in my phone. I want so many features from it and its modules too
I search for xposed at least 3 times per day and i didnt find any useful information but a reply of rov89 a month ago saying it was going to be hard to merge xposed to lollipop because of new ART runtime. So i find this post very useful as we can share temporary patches until xposed is released for lollipop.
* Intelli3G: Your internet is set to EDGE while phone is locked, but when you unlock it you get 3G/4G (until you lock)
* Lots of gravitybox features:
-change battery icon and clock position in the info bar ( percentage + circle battery!)
-flash activated when you pulse the lockscreen for 3secs (stupid ye but very useful for me)
* Burnt toast: that was so cool (show app icon in toast--> superSU permissions)
*App settings: so i can put safari in immersive mode
Cant remember more at the moment but if you know any app with similar features post them here please
For battery percent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
On Lollipop the percentage is visible even with full battery.
You know if Xposed doesn't come back I am kinda okay with it. Towards the end of Kitkat it seemed like any really useful app that came out needed Xposed to run. It was like as if app creators ran straight towards Xposed instead of using different methods. I know for some things you needed to be able to hack further than root allows but I would guess that a few Xposed modules could have achieved the same result through different means. I'm probably wrong though.
As well intentioned as this thread was, it still got almost completely derailed... Shame.
One feature I'm looking forward to is customizing the slides on Lock screen.
Dialer and camera shortcuts are great but I am so spoiled now.

Read the forum rules regarding member conduct - I have no problem actioning those who do post disrespectfully!
This is NOT a damn social site..stick to G+ for your immature flaming
This is a development site and as such keep this thread on topic
People are looking for alternate solutions while Xposed is being worked on to be ART compatible
So either contribute or don't post!

Is there any way to theme icons without a launcher? As far as I know, no launchers support Google Now (which I really like having as a screen), which is, unfortunately, my biggest deterrent. While devs adjust to the finer points of ART, I really, really miss my icons. ;_;

Hello!
So long story short I have blocked updates on my S8+ because I like my Navbar Black. But recently I removed the "block" and it registrered the update, but didn't download it. But now I have this annoying red "1" batch on the settings shortcut (the one located over the notifications-bar toggles). Anyway to remove this?

Hey try clearing data for software update and settings app . Mostly clearing for software update app will be enough.
Seriously, take the update, it is security relevant and has the hiding navbar. Use the navbar app app (yes), to keep it any color you like. Free and lightweight.
I seriously urge you to take the update because of the patches in there.

I have been considering taking the update.. Mostly because I've heard there should be another update on the they where you can control battery hocking app more.
That said I can already hide my navbar with Custom Navigation Bar (app), BUT I hate not having the navbar there at all times.. It's so annoying..
Also are you 100% sure Navbar apps can overwrite the system color?
Also I've heard people say the navbar is no longer transparent on the homescreen? And that is just ridiculous..

Ohh nice! Thank you, do you use Navbar apps? Hide it? Or just use some of the other colors?
Can you tell me which other colors you can use now?
Nav bar is transparent on home screen, I can confirm.
Screenshot attached.
Just tried "Navbar apps" by Damian Piwowarski in app store but it only works partially. It will turn the bar black when I am inside the navbar apps app and it is black when i open the app store, contacts screen, chrome, gallery, citymapper and some others, but on the home screen in Nova (the worst one since it looks ridiculous with my black background), and in bluemail and CM browser it is still white. Perhaps it is a different app @corwin_amber was talking about?
I think, we are both talking about the same app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I am using Nova Prime launcher, however and even Substratum for Samsung (no Root, would never do that) to theme everything to my likes and needs.
To me, personally, having a secure device is important, maybe different priorities (which is completely fine to me).

That's the ying and Yang of Google. BY default they offer little in customisation but then they also make it easy to root your phone and add custom mods. Samsung are the opposite, they offer loads of customisation but it's a pia to root

Just an FYI, but it seems that if you use the systemless hosts module, then you cannot use that Fullscreen module by DanGLES3. This is because it prevents your apps that require root access from seeing that they have root access. Basically, it messes up your superuser permissions and screws with the Magisk pathways. I was trying to check what it did, however, I cannot explore any root directories due to my file explorer's superuser permissions now being ignored lol.
So, while this option works great and doesn't require LSposed, it prevents you from doing anything else with your root access =(.
The only way to resolve the problems is by wiping your phone, re-imaging and starting over =P.

Which is all very good i am sure but what purpose does the gesture line actually serve, why is it even there to start with is the question and not well it is easy to root your phone crack on and sort it yourself. Googles logic of it being there is baffling.
Lets be honest Google are now pushing the Pixel as a mainstream phone and it is probably bought mainly on the strength of its photographic capabilities, It isn't just the plaything of the inquisitive like the Nexus was. I bet the amount of Pixels that get rooted compared to sold is miniscule.

I would say that's true and has always been true of every phone. Otherwise, there would be millions and millions of XDA members. The Modding community is a microcosm of overall phone owners
But, why not have the pill? What is the argument against it?
