I can confirm version 79 of xposed for ARM sdk22 as working. You'll find the downloads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Perform a nandroid backup before beginning.
Download the xposed installer apk , install it, boot into recovery and flash the xposed v79 arm sdk22 .zip,clear cache and dalvik, then reboot phone and you are good to go! I know a lot of us have been waiting for this news so I figured I'd share.. Keep in mind, after you install the .zip and reboot the phone is going to take about 10 minutes to boot up but eventually it will, immediately afterwards the apps will be "optimizing" for about 15 minutes as it rewrites ART to include xposed. Now I am off to go install some modules! Later guys hahaha
Here is an Xposed Mod that will change carrier text in notification header, lock screen, and dial pad to anything you like. I changed mine to T-Mobile since MetroPCS is pretty much using their network. Edit (SystemUI) for header notification carrier text and lockscreen carrier text. For dial pad carrier text while connected to a call edit (Dialer). You will have to put in original name which will be MetroPCS and for custom text, enter whatever you like.

Big Thanks to: @liubaoyua
Anyone that has any useful stable modules, make sure to list them. Time to MOD
Snapprefs for Snapchat works too, so you can add it to that list ^^
Btw how do you get that "illest" and the leaf in the status bar? it looks cool cx
In the screen shot is the options for data signal in the pro version of Flat Style Bar Indicators xposed mod... Also I have Battery Home Icon in the screenshot. It turns your home button into circular battery meter. (look at my home button). This mod allowed me to free up status bar space and replace battery meter with day of week in the FSBI module. I highly recommend FSBI pro version and also pro version of Flat Style Colored bars. (This one adds colors to your status bar and nav bar for a more immersive look) .. I actually paid for those two when I had my old phone. Instead of explaining everything I have up and running so far, I'll post a screen shot of my modules screen.. One module that isn't on the screen shot is advanced power menu (apm). For booting into recovery, soft reboot etc... All of the mods shown I got directly from the xposed repo. I have my display setting to show experimental and beta mods as well as stable ones. But I've no issue with the mods that I've activated.. Not only on this phone, but I've used all these mods for numerous months on my old phone as well

I'm not sure if its going to be compatible with lollipop and or HTC sense, but I recommend to you a module called x blast (or maybe it's xblast) it has a whole slew of text editing options... I was using it with no issues on KitKat, but this module I notice hasn't been updated in awhile

Tried it and xblast has no effect on this device. Pretty much doesn't work. And it only changes header and lockscreen I believe. I believe custom text mod changes in any apk in app text and goes deep into the xml file. You can probably even change the hangouts text in the hangouts app into something like "Hanging" I haven't tried. But I'm sure you can, incredible mod. There also isn't too many mods for sense lollipop ?

I was interested because I seen some m9 roms like viper rom has it built in the system settings and it's based off sense. I tried doing it without any mod and it's headache dealing with Java and SDK. I'm looking to see if I can port cm12.1 or cm13 on this device but I know it's not easy. I'm just a novice user, but I wanna start developing.

I wish I could help. Developing is way outside my realm of knowledge. Would a CM build be your best chance of getting it done?

(Slim had RRO when I was using it) . but to see ANY base Marshmallow build on this mid range phone we own would be killer!

I think they're all aosp based. Slim and cm is aosp based. I think it all depends on what kinda feature they bring. RRO layers is easier to code than cm themes I believe.

EdeWow. This whole forum is pretty much dead. I wont be in this forum any more since i picked up an LG G3 which i love. I got a sweet deal on it because the usb port is broken. (I picked up an external charger) . If anybody needs to reach me which i doubt. Feel free to inbox. I recommend this G3 though. If you can get your hands on one, and dont mind switching to at&t or tmobile, do it. I rooted and installed recovery in less than ten minutes.. Incredibly easy. I never thought processor power mattered... Boy was i wrong. Nandroids took 1200-1500 seconds. On the G3 78 seconds... Thats insane. But anyways. Happy trails my Desire friends. Happy new year. I will come by and browse and try answer questions from time to time

Nice I like LG..I have an LGV410, and it gets cm13. I actually wanna get an LG phone. I want an unlocked optimus pro the notification light is sick on that phone. I got this phone because I couldn't pass on a $40 offer. So I picked it up, this phone hasn't let me down. Now it's time to max out your g3 software.
Yeah I had a similar situation... Cheap price and couldn't pass up.. I love how loud this thing is...Here is what I got on it right now. As soon as my simple mobile sim arrives I'll be making it my DD. Total bummer that metro won't let me use it.. 60 dollar unlimited plan really is the best deal around..
I want to make sure I am doing this correctly because flashing this zip via twrp takes up half of my internal storage memory (System & Other is using 4.36gb) despite the zip being about 3mb and seems to continue "eating it" even while I'm not touching anything.
I'm on stock rom w/ root and no nandroid backups or anything in my internal storage.

Alright, first of all, this is an internal device, I will not be using these changes on my own device.
We use tablets (previously Galaxy Tabs) in our office for employees to use an internal application. Our application manages its own navigation, and users do not need to access anything else other than the application. I made it a home screen launcher so it's the first thing that loads. On the Galaxy Tab (Android 2.3), I'm also hijacking all the hardware buttons in the device and I can properly secure the device.
However, on Android 3.0, there are no hardware buttons anymore, and you cannot hide the system bar, I have no way to secure the device if the system bar is always there. I understand why it needs to be there, but this is really killing me.
I have 3 options:
Root the device, try to disable the system bar by editing the framework-res.apk --- Already tried this, unsuccesful since I couldn't find anything in there.
Wait for Android 3.0 to drop in AOSP, build my own custom rom which hides the system bar and do my own modifications on it.
Build Android 2.3 from AOSP for the XOOM -- this will be a lot of work, and I would need help, is anyone interested on helping me with this?
Thanks everyone.

Downgrading to 2.3 might be your best bet, wish 3.0 AOSP would hurry up, want to get somethings working differently as well myself. Let us all know if you downgrade and how it went! Wouldn't mind trying to sneak the shut off animation onto 3.0 if possible.

Yeah, I haven't gotten into it yesterday, but the only thing I'm concerned about running 2.3 on the Tab is the whole issue with Dual-core support, not sure if I would even be able to do it thanks to that, but I'll see. I'm also trying to call a few contacts to see if we can get into some kind of agreement with Moto to try to get the source code early... we'll see...

Yeah, that won't work, the system bar is part of the framework, it's very very low level, you can't hide it since it allows the user to navigate through the device. Before 3.0, devices were required to have hardware buttons, that's not a requirement anymore because of this system bar, it will always always be there.

True, hopefully they release the kernel source soon so I can take a look and see if I can try to make 2.3 work on the XOOM with the same kernel that's working with 3.0.
here is Tegra 2 with many options running various versions of 2.2 and 2.3.
you should reach out to GoJimi over there.

I'm pretty sure atrix is running 2.2.
u can't do anything until source drops. You need baksmali for framework and custom recovery to flash.
I think your best bet would probably be changing the DPI settings somehow (Like they did for the HC build on some phones to get the tablet version) and it would cause you to go into the "phone" version of HC (Doesn't have the system bar) then I would say modify the volume buttons and lock button long presses to recreate the home/back/multitasking buttons if you really want them (such as they have done for the i*hone android ports because ios is dumb and has 1 button). Just a suggestion and honestly I have no idea if this would work.
I'm sure the system bar has a process you can kill with root. I know the status bar can be killed this way on 2.3. Watch logcat and see what you can find. Anyone know more on this?
Porting 2.2 from the g-tab maybe. Similiar hardware I think.

I tried changing the density yesterday and was disappointed to discover that the LCD density wasn't in the build.prop. adding the line of code didn't work, either.

Looking at the date on my build.prop it hasn't been modified. And just to be sure i looked through the file, nothing in there.
Huh, I wasn't receiving notifications on email even though I'm subscribed for instant notifications...
anways, will try the density trick, but that seems like a pain in the butt to redo all the layouts in our app, but that is a very very clever idea, might work.
Update: Yes it works, but only if you use one of those apps, not when editing the system.prop file, anyone care to share what's exactly being edited here?
Thanks again!
Update 2: Actually, I had a typo on the line I wrote on the build.prop, if you write 'ro.sf.lcd_density=240' (or whatever density you want to use), push it and reboot, it does work as it should.
how are u going to press "home" or "back"?
xoom doenst have physical buttons like phones.
how do u get back to home screen if u downgrade to 2.x？
So, now we have the possibility to have custom ROMs, flasheable with CWM. THere are already two guys who have put effort out there, and maybe they'd want some ideas on what you people would like. What do you consider that should be in your custom ROM of choice?
Myself, I would love a Reboot and Screenshot option in the power off menu.
Maybe a minimalist version of 2.3?
I want the touchpads to be able to contol the system/launcher, like the D-Pad cans.
Great question.
I already have reboot options in the power menu of my ROM. Taking a serious look at the Screenshot option. Not many ROMs appear to have it though, but I'm going to give it a shot.
Landscape mode for the launcher would be awesome. I know you can use a custom launcher, but I really like the one that comes with the phone

there was a guy who edited the HomeAPK and made it 3 screens landscape
you can edit the Home through comp. to make it more
The stock launcher, at least in the last build, does have landscape support

1) Auto Brigtness disable
2) Overclock
3) Use the touchpad as a touchscreen emulator (eg swiping on the touchpad is the same as swiping on the screen, great for browsing without touching the screen)
4) Enable the FM radio

+1 for this. The only thing I liked about the Verizon Play is that it's basically running stock gingerbread. Currently, I'm using my custom "hybrid" of r800i rom mixed with r800x launcher/apps. The upside is that I removed all the sony junk and replaced it with stock android apps (dialer, calendar, contacts, etc) while keeping stuff like working touchpad (which failed me in cyanogenmod) and playstation pocket. The downside is that I can't replace the sony lockscreen and statusbar with the stock one. For now, I'm just using widgetlock to emulate it.
If someone can get a working stock gingerbread rom with NOTHING extra (not even hidden SE apps and services), but still have working playstation pocket and touchpads/xperia optimized apps. I will use it.
AndroHero's ROM is certainly in that path.
But really... the stock GB Launcher too? It couldn't be more spartan if it tried...
I took a good run at adding a Screenshot menu item to the power menu but haven't been successful yet. Ends up crashing on boot, unfortunately, so I'm doing something wrong. Not giving up yet though. Decompiling JARs and trying to understand it all is a huge pain in the ass.
I've got reboot options already though along with the ability to overclock and undervolt.
I was looking towards pretty much going as stock Android as possible, but I wasn't sure anyone would want it.
need a 3g and wifi transfer rate in status bar, to make sure all the things running at the background and another app like fpse or psx4droid just for play ,bcz this is xperia play

Power Off seems to work fine for me. Are you maybe running it with the USB cable plugged in?

About the 10 finger touch screen. what would you use it for? i've always wondered this lol.
Ok peeps, here is another great rom for you to play with.
For those who dont know what the Android Open Kang Project is:
http://aokp.co/
This rom strives to utilize the best hacks and mods of all roms and put them into one great build.
It was built by me, but it is coded by a wonderful crew of smart people and it performs quite well.
It features many nice addons:
* customized lockscreen with color changing for the text and a nice weather widget plus more
* customize navigation bar, Navbar hiding for NBA JAm and other phone Ui games and apps
* color theming for the navbar, along with the ability to add navbar buttons which you can set to do what you want
Basically, tons of stuff. I recommend flashing and going to settings>Rom Control and just spending about thirty minutes seeing all the things you can do.
On my end, I have tried to remove what we dont need for some extra RAM. I changed up the teamdrh device overlays to suit this ROM. modified build.prop for gameloft compatibility, applied Nobe's fixes for hdmi audio and gaming audio. Various other things to get it working well.......
This is still a work in progress!!!!
Many thanks to teamdrh for the "OEM device support"
Many thanks to Fosser for his kernel
Many thanks to the AOKP crew for such a great ROM
****INSTALL INFO*******
1. Use teamdrh nvflash for Jellybean - the 350meg prep
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. connect to PC, copy rom, and Flash away
ENJOY!
Known Issues:
Stock launcher has shortcut issues, YOU WILL NEED A DIFFERENT ONE. I left it alone so you guys could just use what you want. I recommend Nova Launcher, this is the one AOKP uses on official builds, but again, I left it alone so you could decide, but you will not be disappointed with Nova.
AOKP has their own wallpapaers, the app would not retrieve them though, still looking into this
Internal Camera, of course, NOT YET!
Others? please....you tell me. I dont have a dock, and I dont do many of the things that others do, so there may be issues that I have not yet uncovered. I dont care about logcats or whatever, just post what dont work if you find something. THANKS!
YOU MUST GO THANK ANY MEMBER OF THE AOKP CREW, AS WELL AS TEAMDRH. THEY MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

Okay, I've found how to add more buttons, which does squeeze them together. However, I only want three buttons (back, home, recent apps) and squeezed together on the lower left. Is there a way to do that? If I make the other buttons empty, there are still icons showing that there are buttons there, just that pressing them won't do anything.
All settings for this are in settings>ROM control>navigation bar
At the bottom where it says "combined bar width port" or "land" you move slider left or right and the buttons will move, you most likely want 5 percent, do both but "land" is landscape. If you just want three buttons then just choose 3 under "Nav button quantity". And if you want more, up to 7 then in the settings just underneath the quantity you must choose what the buttons do for a short press and a long press if you want. You can change the icons too.
I'm actually liking this ROM the most so far out of the Jelly Bean ROMs. It's pretty lean. It performs well. There are a lot of options. And every app I've tried on it has worked.
Here is something weird. I flashed this ROM on my wife's tablet and everything works with it. So I decided to flash it on my tablet and some apps, like Dictionary.com, aren't compatible. Any ideas why this would be?

1) 2GB ram is typically 1GB since the the other half is reserverd I guess? -Does root changes this?
2) I don't like the Dialer and In-Call UI at all.
I tried some "apps" but those are for having a better number pad UI, so it doesn't change the incoming calls or general in-call UI.
I don't want to root (not yet) and as I know, my last stupid phone (HTC HDmini) was able to change that with a simple .exe file.
Is it possible to do that in android without root/flash?
Any kind of redirect links would be awesome!
My version is 4.4.2.
-Thank you!
1. No of 2 gb 1.8 is available for user the system uses around 1 gb
2. No you need to flash something or use app like full screen calling screen that lag and they doesn't replace the call in screen

If you haven't made any changes to your dialer as of yet, try ex dialer. It's quicker and easier on the eyes....plus you can change themes.

If I am not mistaken, exDialer is an app. That means you have to replace the current phone app with the exDialer.
Also it does not support incoming call changes (which is the ugliest part I think).

Correct....it is an app and you can use it as your default phone if you choose.
But still, my problem is the dialer (which can be changed quite easily with an app) but I want to change the incoming call/ in-call UI too...
I'm also quite unhappy with the looks of stock G2 dialer and the rest of the LG apps and I'm currently looking forward to jump to Cloudys G3 port....but it's too buggy still....so as a temporary workaround I've been replacing most stock apps with 3rd party apps and some G3 app ports i 've found here and there like the keyboard and notification panel...the only app that annoys me the most is the Dialer!! I haven't found a way of completely replacing it...and there hasn't been a G3 port for it yet either....as far as I'm aware of. Anyone has had any luck replacing it?
Exdialer for your dialing needs and this for the call screen.
Wow thank you revan17! This could actually work!

Both cloudy g3 1.0 and 1.1 are running perfectly fine. Give them a try. You may be surprised.

I already have I decided to take the leap yesterday with Cluody's G3 1.1, and after a full wipe and clean install I'm very impressed with the stability and performance..I haven't run into any bugs, FC or reboots for now..I'm even using Viper4android and Xposed with Gravity Box, G3 Tweaksbox Beta, with no problems, so I haven't lost any functionality either...I highly recommend anyone wanting to get rid of the ugly G2 stock UI to give it a try! But be sure to do a full wipe and follow Cloudy's recommendations regarding the bootloader and kernel.
btw. I have a D802
Thank you for the comments!
I don't look forward to root my G2 (since that "cloudy g3" is a ROM right?) and I also found that these dialer apps are very buggy and they don't replace the initial apps, they just overlap them (which I find bad).
Maybe I will wait for a 4.5 version, I don't know...

Yes, it's a rom. Is there any reason why you don't want to root? There's so much more potential you can squeeze out of your mobile by rooting it....and you can always unroot it and go back to stock if you're not happy or need to take it to warranty (as long as it's still functional of course).
I also had the same thoughts after starting to clutter my phone with mods and 3rd party apps to get a nicer UI and get rid of G2's stock one....I ended with apps overlapping and the UI looked fragmented..though nicer every app has a different style which isn't great for a seamless and fluid UI experience...plus the more apps and mods the more posibilities of running into bugs and errors.
That's why flashing Cloudy's G3 rom was the perfect solution for me [emoji106]

Well, the reasons I don't want to root right now are:
1) I rooted my previous phone alot of times and I have battery problems (HTC HD mini). I went back to the original ROM, and the service guy told me that I had flashed it and it shouldn't be on warranty.
2) I will probably wait for and 4.5 version. I don't want to do 10 roots in order to find the perfect one for me...
3) I don't have time right now to learn how to flash on Android (therefore this specific phone). I learned how to do it on Windows 6.5 so, I will look forward to it.
If there are any specific guides, I would be glad if you can link them to me

If they didn't accept it in warranty then you probably didn't set everything back to stock correctly There are plenty of guides explaining the process for the G2. And regarding the battery problems, on the contrary, you should probably get better battery life with a custom ROM as most of them get rid of LG's bloatware and useless apps which eat up battery and memory...and then you can even try different Kernels to further improve your battery life.
But for this you need time to read and get some basic knowledge on how an android system works, for example what Root is (from your post, I think you confuse rooting a phone with flashing a Rom), what's the Baseband, Modem, Bootloader, Custom Recovery, ADB, Kernel, Rom..etc Once you understand each of these terms and their function in the Android system it's very easy to get things done...and by using common sense it's actually quite difficult to completely **** up your mobile! But again...for that you need some time, and if you don't have that luxury, it will be more complicated..
Since we have the same model of the LG G2 (D802) I'll write you a quick step by step so you can have an overview of the process..and then read further yourself...but I won't take any responsibiliy if you run into trouble..
Thank you for the further information!
I will have some time after Monday so, I will try to look up all of those things you told me.
Don't get busy typing a guide for me, I am sure there are many guides out there and I can search for them
Thank you very much for the precious information!

ok, good luck! If you need any help just send me a PM.
Hey, for some reason I'm not able to respond to your PM, it's says you've either restricted the receipt of PM's or that you're not allowed to reveive them...so I'll answer you here.
-When you install a Rom, you "Flash" it (in PC terminology, it would be the equivalent of installing the Operating System, like Windows for example).
-The Kernel is a sort of "lower level" part of the operating system, which acts as and intermediary between the software and hardware. You can flash it (install it) independently from the ROM, but most of the Custom ROM's you'll find already have their own Kernel integrated, so you just have to flash the ROM. As an example, I'm using Cloudy G3 Rom which already came with it's own Kernel integrated, but I read in many posts that this other Kernel from Bruce2728 works very well (better battery life, faster, etc) with my LG G2 model D802 and Cloudy's G3 Rom, so after flashing Cloudy's G3 Rom I flashed Bruce2728's Kernel on top of it.
-Rooting is the process of gaining full privileges to the Android Operating System, so you can accces, modify and install anything you want (in PC terminology it would be the equivalent of upgrading from a restricted User account to an Administrator account)...normally, as long as you flash Custom Roms, you'll only have to root your device once. And as I mentioned you in my previous post, you can manually un-root your phone if you need to take it back for warranty for example, I never had to do it yet, but if it's ever necessary you can find guides explaining how to do it.

I made this AOSP-like image for use it as the default image for the caller id app (for contacts with no image and unknown phone numbers).
Enjoy.
What should replace G3 Tweaks/Xposed on Android 5?
On my rooted KK rom, I used several Xposed functions, out of which the most important to me:
- Four options/extended boot menu
- Volume keys skip tracks (RDIO, PANDORA) while screen is off
- More volume steps
Android 5 (ART) currently voids Xposed
Can you guys recommend ART alternatives for the above (APK or Mod)
Thanks

So there is nothing out there yet, u have to wait if rovo89 make xposed ready for ART or alternatives.
Xposed will not work on Android L
Xposed will not work on Android L
Probably it will not be patched.
Let me tell you a story, of a time before xposed (GHAST, yes, for there was such a time!). Back in these dark days, mods used to be done by pulling apart an apk, making modifications in the code and rebuilding the apk to insert into a rom, the problem was these files were device specific, and often rom specific so it made modding very time consuming, and you had to remake a mod for each device and often each particular rom.
Xposed changed this, it patched files on the fly in such a way that it worked on every device and every rom (so long as the file it was patching, and the code it was changing was present).
Now we have no Xposed, we have to go back to those olden times, lets put on our robes and pick up that longsword and fight back.
..... TLDR: There is nothing that Xposed does that cannot be done 'the old way', it is just a far more time consuming process doing it the old way, and because it is now device and often rom specific finding a developer to do it for your device and rom might not be easy.
If there is automated call recording in a custom android 5 rom I will switch instantly.
Most other things are usually fixed by the custom roms as well.

There's apps at Google play for almost everything you want.
Quickclick for the music, reboot menu widget for four way reboot, and so on... [emoji106]
For Active Display what's the best app without xposed?
Any replacement for Xprivacy?
What about Appsettings?
this is only reason for I dont like upgrade to 5.

It's not just exposed. There are going to be a great many apps and tweaks that won't work on 5.0. Some will eventually be rewritten, some do things that might no longer be possible with Lollipop. All we can do is wait, and in the meantime decide whether the benefits of 5.0 outweigh the things we'll lose.
I'm going to hate the absence of Skip Lock, which the developer says can't be made to work on 5.0. That may keep me from upgrading for a while.

Well, LG G3 got a built-in lock skipper. I think its code may be studied and exploited for another use.

It does? Can it unlock the device when connected to specific WiFi networks? 5.0 offers trusted Bluetooth, but not trusted WiFi, like Skip Lock does, and it also doesn't allow apps to unlock the screen. But my main point was that even if these capabilities are eventually provided, it will take time. Right now "upgrading" to Lollipop will mean doing without a lot of the tweaks and hacks we've become used to.

Bluetooth and NFC. It's a new build, of course it has no hacks. Let's just wait to see what will come.

Right. But out of the box, 5.0 doesn't allow any app to trigger a screen unlock. A lot of other things have been locked down, too. For the time being, upgrading to Lollipop is going to mean doing without a lot of the tweaks we're used to.
