I'm trying to find ways to make touchwiz look less like touchwiz. Has anyone used gravity box, what features are safe to use and which ones aren't?
Nobody has xposed on galaxy tab?

I've got the 337a, so no custom recovery or ROMs, just stock with root. I don't use gravity box for anything big, which actually doesn't even work so don't know why I even bother. Lol
Thanks very much

You'll have to go thru them. I don't even know what I have set. All I know is the theming part doesn't work.

I know there is a way of removing the icon labels on the lockscreen shortcuts but where is this setting hidden?
Someone please help.
I have added a screenshot to show you what im talking about.
Under the voice search app i would like to remove the words "voice search"
Can anyone help me with this?
so theres really no one that can help me with this ???
Not sure what version of android you are running, but I looked on my international D802 4.4.2 and I didn't see the option to remove the words underneath it. Only options were to remove or add lock-screen shortcuts. If you are rooted you may be able to do something about it, other then that, I would wait for the 2.5 version of Xposed, maybe?

have you tried looking for a different launcher I read launcher pro can do so but that's from the gingerbread days so I'm sure wouldn't want that
Install Xposed Framework and G2 Xposed.
The stock rom will not give you the option to hide them.

G2 Xposed does not have this option. I already have it.
I have been using pac-roms rom for months but feel it is missing something - the stylus. Any tips on the rom closest to pac-roms excellent work but with stylus support?

Can't you flash the Note 3 Mod pack and get all the features that way?? Never used Pac-Man Rom, sorry if that doesn't work.

That won't work no :c, it's depending on the Touchwiz framework :c

Oh I see, can't you put the touchwiz framework files into the ROM then try that way?? Or would the mess up the ROM?
If it was that easy, we would've had CyanoWiz by now ;D !! (so that's a definitive no no)

Well here's a tip
Go take a look at Xposed Framework. (1st hit on google leads to the topic i guess )
With this you can customize any stock rom to it's fullest extent.
Only pre-requisites are Root.
Go install a rom with Note 3 features, remove all the stuff you don't want, install the stuff you want (launchers etc).
Install Xposed Framework !
Install Wanam Xposed (from store or xposed installer) (( 4.3+ roms))
Modules i'm using:
- Advanced Reboot Menu
- All Notifications Expanded
- App Settings (set DPI per app)
- Chrome New Tab (opens up a new tab in chrome, instead of always losing the page you were on) ((when pressing a link outside chrome browser))
- Greenify ("freeze" apps, so they won't use any battery life)
- SwipeBack (just check it out)
- XuiMod (allows you to change pretty much every animation ((apps opening/closing, go to other "page" in an app, toasts etc etc)
There are lots more.

Thanks for this, still love the pac-rom but as stated it does not use the hardware. I will take a look at the Xposed framework although I am a little scared of killing my phone!
If i understand your reply the stock rom is the base then add or remove Xposed on top and play around from here,
@Neal
Exactly that, you can use Xposed to modify any Rom basically :silly:
Hi guys i have brought moto g 2014 3days back. and i wonder is there is any option to add more options like rotation toggle.
Its upto you, if you only want extra toggles then go for without root method and if you want to still customize your phone to a greater level go for root method.
With Root : This will add extra toggles in the quick settings.
Unlock bootloader, root your device. Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/guide-root-moto-g-2nd-gen-2014-t2874245
Install Xposed Framework and GravityBox KK module. Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Without root : This will add a bunch of extra toggles in the notification screen.
Install Notification Toggles Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle.
Or Power Toggles.
Exposed framework + Gravity box = lots of happiness
Thank u guys for ur response
Have another doubt
I was using cm for past one year now i switched to the moto g. Cm has a feature to open quick toggle by swiping status bar from right side. Is it possible in moto g.
I am not rooted bcz i am still warranty and i dont want to avoid it by rooting

Not possible without rooting. You will have to use Xposed Framework and GravityBox.

K i will try after rooting.
But may be after some times.
Bcz my moto g is new and i dont want to void the warranty
Remember that unlocking your bootloadercomes with factory reset -> backup.

Very hard to do with one hand only.
The left/right way is much more effective.

Just saying that the left/right implementation is better than Google's one/two finger method.
GravityBox essentially turns the stock rom into CM or similar. You have all the features, there's no need to actually have CM anymore if you ask me. The only downside is that you do need root (or more specifically, you need root to install XPosed framework, which gravity box needs).

No, but if you have a stock-rom that's basically AOSP and the latest version of Android, you don't really gain anything by going for a custom rom versus just using GravityBox. The latter version also still allows you to update the stock rom in the normal fashion.

I agree Gravity Box is the way to go. My only mistake was integrating updates into system and now can't get OTA updates. Complains about chrome.apk, etc during verification OTA.
Do you have a twrp backup of the stock XT1068 system for UK version that you could share? (21.11.14.titan_retgb.retgball.en.GB.retgb)
Disable Quick Settings
Is there an option to disable Quick Settings from the top right?
Thanks for the useful info
Hello o/
Is there any fast way to dissable it (or even delete)? I dont like any launchers on the AppStore, I just want to take it away from my home screen ;d
There is a way, but you will need to root and have Xposed installed. This is the module: Xposed GEL Settings
root =/= flashing? i will lose warranty after rooting? is there any guide how to root g4?
Looks like xposed GEL is the only way to accomplish that, if you'd want to stick to the default launcher.
Alternatively, if you don't want to go through the process of unlocking bootloader + rooting + installing xposed with temporary reboot to custom recovery, you could try a different launcher, such as Nova Launcher off playstore. Then there's the new Taskbar app which can keep the homescreen clutter free while giving quick access to shortcuts and apps.

I can't imagine not liking any of the dozens of launchers available. Many are identical to the crappy stock launcher with more options.

The fastest way is to install Nova Launcher and you can remove the G search bar
Please note that this write up is based on the assumption that you have a rooted after updating firmware to 7.1.1 and also unlocked bootloader
On several ocassions I was tempted to take firmware upgrade to Anroid 7.1.1 but thinking of missing xposed, I was delaying it. Finally I decided to take the firmware update mainly because of several goodness packed in Android 7.1.1. Finally I updated my device with Android 7.1.1 and took following alternatives to enjoy the benefits that I was enjoying with xposed.
1. I hate softkeys and also wanting to always keep status bar immersive. Xposed immersive module was doing the job. I achieved the same wihtout xposed as below,
Added a line in build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=1, and restart phone hides navbar permenantly. Installed Tile Root to hide status bar and the good thing about this this app is that it doesn't loose notification pull down option. Once installed it will be seen in Quick settings as it doesn't have launcher. Using Quick settings edit, you can being the immersive button and use it to go immersive. We need Pie Control to manage the absence of navbar.[/URL]
2. YouTube background playback was possible with the help of xposed module. I managed the same screen off playback as below,
Installed OG YouTube which is a moded version of official YouTube. This has the ability to play YouTube in the background. You can search yourself to find this modded app
3. Magisk work for 7.1.1 hence if anyone wants to use Android Pay it is still possible
If anyone wants to find alternative for the xposed module that were in use until MM, please post here. We can collectively find a best possible options.
Xposed resurrection Remix 7.1.1?

YouTube ads can be filtered using xposed module YouTube Adaway. I am Adguard to do this job and selected HTTPS filtering instead of VPN option. It works better now. I can enjoy YouTube videos without ads which use to appear every 15min.
I miss some module that allowed to swipe up and down in the official youtube app for changing volume

I am using adguard for two weeks now and do not see any issue. Also, adguard is helping to protect our privacy too.
