Hi guys,
I've been looking around XDA for ways on how to change the colour of the stock toggles in kitkat. I can't find any other method than flashing a custom file via a custom recovery. I haven't tripped knox as of yet, so I'm trying to hold on to that as long as I can. Is there any other method via root explorer to change the toggle colours? Any help is highly appreciated guys.
There is at least one app that can do that: XQuickSettingsToggle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363953
I have not tried it on my S5
Xposed module Wanam will do it as well. Actually there are numerous ways to theme the quick settings tile colours as a search would show. Few if any of which require a custom recovery.

Hi
Can any1 pls suggest me how to change font in Nexus 4.
I have tried iFont app but its asking to root my mobile. So i Just downloaded ES file explorer. I installed SuperSU but as I open it after installing it was showing message like "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root consult the relevant forums for ur device!"
I heard that SuperSU is good for getting root permissions easy.
But I was not success
btw I don't have much knowledge regarding this rooting all.:silly: I just know that rooting will help to gain full permissions on device.
So can any1 pls tell me the easy or understandable method for changing font in my mobile Nexus 4
There is no way around rooting, if you want to change your font or something system specific. I can recommend you Wug's Nexus Toolkit. Just search for it. With this tool even 'silly' people gets root easily.
You'll need root to change your fonts. It's easy too root, I don't recommend a tool kit to do that. But most likely you're bootloader is still locked. Unlocking it will wipe your device.

Are there any ways to get rid of brightness and music control in the notifications with stock (no root)
I know that in the xposed or some of the roms can do that
But is there any method that i can do it without root?
Because i have to use some apps that will block root device
I tried devicefaker when i use a custom rom, but it did not success, so i have come back to stock now

Do you mean the Brightness and Volume Sliders? You can edit them out.. Pull the notification bar....scroll to the right and click "Edit".... then uncheck Brightness and Volume. Hope it helped.
I know what u mean
But I think only some custom rom has it
I am on stock d80220c(no root)
Thanks u for trying to help
As you said, that's unfortunately on possible on custom roms like CloudyG3.
Just root and use root coak for the apps
Tried, did not work
Hello guys,
I'd like to know if it's possible to get a fully black theme (settings, notifications, all options i mean like in Substratum) with no root. It's because I just bought this phone, and don't want to lose the warranty by rooting it.
PS : Is it a significant battery saver to get a black theme, or does it just give you 5 minutes more of battery life ?
Thx
AMOLED will save battery by displaying black screens. Not just dark. It has to be black. Hex #000000, black. Basically it keeps the individual pixels off instead of turning them on to display black.
As far as I know, there's no way to fully theme everything without root. Notifications require theming of framework which will require root. Either to use Substratum or decompiling, editing & recompiling & pushing back to system.
Also, the only way I could see root voiding your warranty is if you use root to overclock your CPU to absurd voltages and short out the phone. There's a thread buried in general somewhere where someone posted chat logs from Google. They mentioned warranty could be void due to problems caused by root (like mentioned above), however unlocking the bootloader and rooting shouldn't automatically void it. I know the unlocked BL won't, not 100% on root. Then again I've sent it rooted Galaxy Nexus, rooted Nexus 5 and a rooted Nexus 6P in for warranty repairs / exchanges and was never once charged. Fully functional phones that booted and they could easily see I was unlocked, rooted & running a custom ROM, etc.

Do you recommend any theming app?

Substratum, but again, you'll need root.
If you do go down that route, be careful theming framework on 7.1.1, it will cause boot loops. It was broken by Google who has since fixed it internally. We just need to wait for an update. Know how to recover if that happens. I'd recommend to follow Substratum Development on Google+ for more info.

This says it can do it with adb - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...der&pcampaignid=APPU_1_vlhmWvjEC8z1kwWAvavYCg
If you are trying to do it without root or recovery or adb, I doubt it. There are a few apps that can hide it without root, but it won't be persistent, you'll have to keep resetting it.
Anyway, why not root?

Hello, thank you for this quick answer!
Well, I rooted just one device, was a Xiaomi MI5, easy backup with TWRP and flashtool, and after installed Paranoid Android. But, root a Sony smartphone makes me insecure. I need to downgrade my update version, to backup drm key (to 34.1.A); and I dont even know if this backup is really enough to restore things like camera post process or x-really image. So I need to root, and after repair drm key to not lose some sony stuffs. So I m thinking that wouldnt be that easy. ADB for disable navbar would be the best and simple, but if i dont find other way, I ll try to root this phone. This is my first xperia, everyone says that there is "no going back" after root this device, losing warranty and a lot of sony softwares... What do you think about? is that hard or unsafe?
By the way, a tried this app (Navigation Bar Editor), but this only hide navibar, not disable it. If you touch bottom area to swipe a comand the navbar instant appears. But thank you for the suggestion. anyway If you can show me some videos or links that make root a simple ou at leat a safe process I can change my mind. Im not fluent, sorry if my english is confusing

Obviously whatever you do has a risk and it's your choice. I personally didn't find it too hard, but it does take some time. MM ftf is here, (for one) - https://mega.nz/#!lx5lSCCI!KAddBZkiFyLNj87gxzs69475nFnTHQLNIlobZq4sKRQ - so make a backup, download ftf, download stock N from Xperifirm, flash MM, run ta backup tool, unlock bootloader, flash whatever you want after that. Then you can restored ta and relock bootloader, if you feel like you have to at some point...
Is it possible to install accent colors without root like in oreo? Or is there some way to temporarily bypass signature check to install overlay apks since they now require platform certificate??
I need that too ?
I'm searching for that I need that too
i need?
Try powershade , it's a little buggy but does the job
Powershade isn't the solution for changing accent color of whole system UI ,
We want accent colors like oreo

Magisk module: System Accent Theme (colors) for P.
It changes accents in whole system.
I didn`t find any other solution without root.
Not possible without root as far as I know. But fairly easy to use with Magisk and systemless Substratum module.

Install substratum, install theme, choose what you want to theme, build it, reboot phone, apply what you have built. Between build and apply you have to reboot the phone, otherwise it won't work.

Tried everything that you have said, but after applying the theme successfully even after reboot its neither showing in theme under display nor it is applying as default
Flash this module in magisk and you will get all the colour options in display settings.

Themes should be enabled/applied in Substratum manager as the last step, not via system settings.
Don't use substratum. Root with magisk and use module that i mentioned. That's what you need. System accent color. After applying go to settings --> display and on the bottom there will be accent colors.
