Lollipop/CM 12.1+ status bar on stock rom - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a Modded systemUI like this(See the attached images) on Stock Lollipop Rom?
I really how CM looks, but i will face freezing problem if i unlock bootloader, and we need to unlock the bootloader if we want CM. So best way for me is use stock rom, but if someone can make statusbar like that on Stock Rom it'll be awesome.(remove the space on the link, because i cant attach files, im a new member here)

Custom ROMs with Locked BL

Hello all,
we from Spain have been able to load a custom ROM (SE|TWEAKED v0.5) in a Xperia Neo with locked BL. Basically we installed this:
And modify the .img of the ROM, so it does not overwrite /system all content.
Later we will try to post a tutorial
Is kernel flashing too possible with locked bootloader

Could we do that to cm7 as well?
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
We are actually working on it. We think we will be able to flash kernels too without unlocking el BL, we are trying to break through flashmode. More information in our forum (sorry but it's a Spanish forum):

Tried to install CM7 like recovery img, phone starts and loads CM7 bootanimation but in "Enter Pin Code" input text field doesn't show nothing. This made me think that tactile screen not works 'cos some cm7 kernel module was missed, but after installing my original backup SIM needs puk code, so i introduced too many intents in CM7. Tactile screen works, input text field no.
this is good start man! keep it up!
More tests. Blend_Miui not working,eternal boot loop. SE Tweaked 0.7 works with some wifi issues.
so basically its like what happened with the x10?
What happened with x10? By now, Flashtool can unlock the bootloader of X10 (I don't know if only unbranded phones or all phones)
like before the bootloader we could flash roms while locked. Is that what this is?
More or less. You can flash custom ROMS converted to recovery file (.img) only if those ROMs are based on Stock Kernel
so thats a no to cm7 and miui then
does that mean i can install SE Tweaked v0.7 to my locked bootloader arc-s?
i have a recovery menu from nAa-r2 cwm.. is this possible?

Custom ROM/recovery/... vs Stock

Hey there, I have been flashing my HTC Desire HD for a long time with different ROMs. I found it kinda annoying to always check certain websites for new updates, manually download and flash them just to find out that half of the stuff was buggy.
Now I got the Nexus 4. I loved the idea of having fast OTA updates. But now I want to flash a new kernel.. which means I got to install a custom recovery. But then OTA will not work anymore.
So I wonder:
Should I stay with
CWM + Stock ROM + Custom Kernel (no OTA update but no problem with buggy custom ROMs)
CWM + Custom ROM + Custom Kernel
Everything stock
Cyanogenmod is nice but for me it doesn't have any big advantages over stock 4.2 ? So I really wonder what you guys would recommend? What are your reasons to do a "certain setup" ?
Thanks
You don't need a custom recovery to flash a kernel.
It can be flashed with fastboot leaving everything else stock.
You still wouldn't be able to install the OTA without flashing the stock kernel again though.
Oh crap.. so as soon as I change ANYTHING... no OTA updates anymore
Hmm... I guess I will stay with custom kernel + flashing stock ROM then :/ Is there any way to automatically check for updates tho?
Thanks

Yeah you will get the notification and it will try to install but it will fail and reboot if you aren't 100% stock.

Go with TWRP instead of cwm

+1, TWRP is great :highfive:
TWRP is the way to go!
But then I have another problem (well I already have it but..):
I would like to use ROMmanager.. after all it might be able to check for rom updates & flash them "automatically" (stock + custom?). I am not sure if it could also check for kernel updates?
Anyway, it seems to work only with CWM ? Altough it doesn't seem the already installed CWM on my Nexus 4 :S
Anyone?
I would never use ROM manager. Not a good program. Use a custom recovery, and if you want lots of customisation then I would recommend AOKP Rom as it is just as fast and stable as the stock ROM but with a whole host of customisation options.
Beauty of this phone is that you can go back to complete bone stock with no issues, I did, but missed all the customisation and put AOKP back on lol.
alright I uninstalled it. I just hoped for some "app" which could look for all kind of "custom" updates and install them automatically (kernerl,rom,...)
If you're interested in CM, I think delta CM will allow you download only the changes made to the project.
Also, why do people say to use TWRP instead of the more tried and true CWM? It seems to have a lot of sex appeal to some recently, and there doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer. Is there added functionality?

[Q] New here help please.

Hello all,
my N4 is on stock 4.3 JWR66Y, stock kernel.
i have been using android since few years now, whenever i wanted to flash new ROMs on my devices i used to find one that used to match my requirements bt here i couldnt find one ROM which includes:- :good:
- screen colour enhancer (franco gamma somthing) & audio blaster
- Rooted, deodexed, busybox
- Custom recovery
(when i m into recovery threads i read rooted n4 is needed & when browsing how to root they say custom recovery is needed.)
i had a Note I and things were so easy with - odin pc - custom ROM - and flash..nvr unlocked any bootloader..
what unlock bootloader?? cant i simply connect N4 to pc through usb cable & by using ODIN on pc flash a Custom ROM which will have evrything (or atleast most of the things i m looking for in a ROM).. things were so easy on Note. Please help if i am missing smthng..i never jump to conclusions, i have been reading this N4 forum since few days (all above points one by one) before flashing nonsense n end up bricking..
few say its not possible rooting 4.3 wug's root tool kit only installs super su & busybox bt doesnt actually root N4..
in short kindly suggest where to start & how to start to get all above points.once i m rooted & on custom recovery i know flashing n all bt this is really confusing here ..i feel damn alone here..
please help. sry for bothering.
thnx in advance.
-----------------------
Update
if i am not wrong i have to start with
1- install naked drivers for ms-dos purpose
2- unlock bootloader - restart in dwnld mode-connect usb-boot commands r thr
3- install custom recovery twrp/philz/ etc via ms-dos
4- install root/supersu/busybox etc by dwnlding that zip.
bt hw to get gamma n color enhancer the screen is quite dull..IPS
Ok please start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469 I suggest you do a little reading, sounds like you have a good grasp on what needs to be done. The toolkit will do all the work, I prefer ADB but thats just my preference. The toolkit automates everything and makes it very easy to do. Stay away from CM10 nightlies if you want to use a custom kernel, it will only cause you headaches. There are plenty of roms to choose from, what were you looking for as far as features. You are not alone, a little patience and some reading go a long way.
thnk u vry much smoka..
i want gamma controller, root (super su, busybox), custom recovery, safe kernel to wipe frm philz like.
for this i need to unlock bootloadr first r8?
btw whch toolkit? wug's??
thnk u again.

I know carbon ROM has those options but I'm pretty sure most other ROMs do too. make sure you read all the stickies, it sounds like you got it now.

[Q] How do I get OTA with a custom rom/kernel?

I have the liquid smooth custom ROM (which installed a custom kernel) on my nexus 4 but now I have the erge to go back to OTA and stock..... I looked at the other threads and none gave me a good explanation on how to do so. I am pretty much done with custom ROMs so please help me.
P.S My nexus 4 is rooted with unlocked bootloader... Also I'm not exactly an expert with all things android.
You don't get OTA updates with a custom ROM/kernel unless the developer provides them. If you want to return to stock just download the factory images from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam
And flash them. You will lose all your data!!! Then you'll get the latest OTA at first boot/internet connection required/.

[Q][A510F][7.0]Native blur for stock nougat?

Is there a way to get the blur effect like on the s7 in the menus and the folders? Like a flashable zip or something? Because I've seen some of the roms on the forum have it, but i don't want to flash a different rom than stock. Thanks.
