Hello all,
Decided to join to KitKat gang, flashed the factory image, installed OTA update and rooted again. Really liking the overall KitKat rom and layout, particularly the improved dialer interface. I can now do away with ExDialer (never been one for installing lots of apps when not needed!).
I have Xposed installed along with Gravity module. Works great however I was hoping it might offer a little more customisation with the navbar, although I appreciate it's early days.
Has anyone seen a mod where I can change the buttons, ie change the recent apps to menu? In Gravity I can add an extra button for menu, but it still keeps the recent apps button there. I have never liked the recent apps button, never use it and would prefer it as menu button.
Thanks.

Did you find a solution?
You can do this on custom ROM like CyanogenMod
Hello guys i recently installed CM 12 passed from my beloved Optimus G3, anyway i wonder if it's possible to auto hide the softkeys and make them smaller, also if there is any way to get more icons in the drawer ( increase/ decrease DPI i think?) those thinks are huge!
- Also if you guys can give me some advice on what to install next, i don't like CM, will there be a lolipop version of Optimus/Cloudy G3?

Download a custom launcher from the playstore like Nova or Apex. You'll be able to set your drawer and home screen grid size accordingly. Changing your dpi within your build.prop wont actually give you more space to put icons, it just scales the graphics.
Just install CloudyG2 2.2 or CloudyStock and you'll never use another ROM again . You'll see a lot more lollipop development once all the G2 models receive the OTA update.
Thanks, for the info , do you also happen to know if there is a way to hide the softkeys, i don't think its possible to use g2/g3 tweakbox on CM right?

Not to my knowledge, CM12 is still unofficial for the G2 and doesn't contain the expanded desktop mode feature just yet like CM11 does. I say just stick with KK ROMs until Android 5 becomes stable and feature packed (aka wait a few months).

It does? Beautiful! Glad to have helped. Remember, you can tweak expanded desktop mode even more by choosing to only hide the status bar, nav bar or both.
Currently I have AOKP 4.4.4 on my phone and it has so many options (see google images search for examples) in its "Rom control" menu. But this rom has started draining battery so I need to get another ROM.
I have tried Cyogenmod 12.1 and Omni ROM, both based on Android 5.1 and they are both pretty similar and they have very little customization options for status bar and navigation buttons and its pretty sad. Its 2015. All roms should have options like displaying the Day of the week in the status bar, letting me completely customize the navigation buttons and so on.
The options I need are:
- customizable menu buttons such as home, power, back button. I want to be able to change the order, add buttons, even use graphics as buttons so I can change the look of the button. Assign a button to anything whether its opening an App or turning off the screen.
- Customizable status bar. I want to have Date, Day of week, time, Battery percent (number) and also battery icon
So can anyone suggest any ROMS? I can use Multi-Rom which lets me quickly try other roms so I can try them all easily.

I tried this which is the 'unofficial' Omni rom 5.1.
I did try 4.4.4 Omni which is the latest official.
My main question is: I am looking for a highly customizable 5.1 rom.

Cool. I'm trying this rom now.
There's lots of roms but its hard to find a nice stable rom with all the features I need so I thought I would ask if people can suggest any.
I just received my new moto x pure and I quickly updated to the exciting new marshmallow update. My previous phone was the OnePlus one, so maybe I'm spoiled, but there seems to be a distinct lack of settings on this phone.
For instance:
Can't change haptic feedback (vibration intensity) for things
Can't change quick settings tiles
Can't make the quick settings menu drop down from the sides of the screen
Can't change what the home back and menu button does on long press or double press
I read the help that comes with the phone on the notifications settings issue, however what they say to do doesn't work
Maybe I'm spoiled coming from the OnePlus one, but these key features are a little silly to be left out.
Those aren't stock settings sorry.
The OPO used CM as it's OS, right? Those are mostly CM features and not stock features.

Oh I see. But the help app says that I can change my quick settings tiles but they way it says to do it doesn't actually work. What about that?

Swipe down notifications, hold the settings cog until it starts spinning, it will unlock system ui tuner in settings.

I am asking this as I am about to start my own rom project for nexus 6p
I am also open to rom bases
What are the most important Rom features to you?
What special features do you like?
What version of root do you prefer?
Do you prefer certain kernel features?
Professional flashaholic here, so here I go:
Must have:
Long press power button for torch
Double tap to sleep anywhere in lockscreen
Battery light (led)
Do not wake screen when plugging charger
Animation speed control (all possible values, not just 1x, 0.5x, etc...)
Status bar ticker
Playback control using volume rocker
Reorient volume buttons on screen rotation
Ambient display advanced customization (especially brightness)
Fingerprint authentication optional vibration
Status bar clock customization
Quick pulldown in quick settings
Fingerprint unlock after reboot
Really nice to have:
Pulse visualization (both in navbar and lockscreen)
Volume panel customization (especially timeout)
Quick unlock
Navigation bar settings (DUI)
Full substratum support (especially if using default teal AOSP color)
All the Pixel goodies (nav bar animations, sounds, wallpapers, launcher, etc)
Root: I say let the user decide, some people prefer SuperSU, some prefer Magisk.
I've used almost all of the Roms here in XDA and other places, and right now, Resurrection Remix is the one that has everything I want, which is not to say that the other roms are bad. In fact, I've enjoyed every single one of them, and I'm immensely grateful to all of the developers here. I usually donate to them when I'm especially happy with a rom. It's like having a new phone every two weeks or so.

Don't include any root! That way is easy for user to stay unrooted if they wish, or to easily flash supersu, magisk, or whatever else.
Redsmith pretty much covered all the bases on a good rom. I'm currently on nitrogen rom 7.1.1 and using substratum. So theming is important to me

Battery charge led, volume rocker change tracks, oms ?
I was also going to ask does anyone want viper mod baked into the rom?
I wouldn't, but that's just me. I'm not a big audiophile. My $8 earbuds from Walmart sound amazing to me.

I mean it would be cool to have viper arise . But I can always flash it afterwards. Can you make the ROM 7.1.2 based or can u make it the 8.0 Dev preview rooted?
Also pulse on the lockscreen like back in the cm days. Flashlight hold power button.. immersion status and nav bars

To base it on 7.1.2 the source code needs to be released. Since it's still in beta I highly doubt the source has been released yet. If you want 8.0 rooted, why not just install the preview and flash SuperSU?

I might as well actually answer your question in the OP while I'm here. Must have features for me:
- AOSP base
- Long press power for torch with screen off
- Adjustable screen time out settings for lift to wake gesture
- Ability to adjust nav bar height
- Double tap lock screen to sleep
- Volume rocker media control
- Custom quick settings rows/columns (ex: 4x4 layout rather than the stock 3x3)
Anything else is just a bonus but would still be appreciated. I think things that can be flashed like like root, Viper, etc should be left up to the user.

I appreciate all The feedback from all of you this is a great start
When I get a stable version I will.mesaage the guys interested in helping me. Test
As you can make a rom do you think you could possibly help me out with a mka bacon issue. How much ram do you use? As for features/apps I would say include adaway, wakeblock, supersu, viper4arise, substratum and oms support and camera nx and ex kernel manager and for features just copy Resurrection Remix.
I will pm you
I guess I'll throw my hat into the time, as I'm always down to test new ROMs!
Some must haves for me:
- Alarm/Wakelock Blocker
- Navbar dimension tuner
- Pixel icons / Color (I think it's a framework thing)
- Lock screen double tap to sleep
- Lock screen font change
If you need an additional tester I'd be down! Flashaholic, so I could give it a good run through. If somehow you were able to bake a lot of the features mentioned into 7.1.2 I'd download in a heartbeat and donate what I could. Easily
