I was using SoftKeyZ to get the android L navigation bar without any problems but i decided to revert to the default softkeys to upgrade to 4.4.3. I tried the backup and my tablet rebooted without the navigation bar and status bar. It seem like it is aa common problem with this app so beware. Id be very thankful if some one could upload an unmodified systemUi apk and odex file.
Hi, is it possible to have the stock status bar, without rooting the phone?
The emui statusbar is incompatible with some application as cpu stats, infact the cpu status is not displayed and the phone displays the default static icon of the program.
Could you help me
It's not possible w/o root. Heck, even without cyanogenmod you won't be able to get the stock one.
Maybe you can mess around with xposed somehow, but I doubt it.
If you have root and Xposed running, you could try the module "flat style bar indicators". You can modify and arrange every statusbar icon to your own wishes and the setup is very selfexplanatory.
I have the same problem. So the only walktaround is to root and install Xposed? Did anyone tried this and got it fixed?
EDIT
i've install "flat style bar indicators" with xposed but it did not work at all , like "gravity box" too
after a few wipes and reinstalls the "flat style bar indicators" works fine and gravity too

On my device it worked without any problems, also most of the Gravity-Box tweaks are working. I've got the xposed v86 installed on my VNS-L31.
On 7.1.1 official release. I downloaded Pixel launcher from apkmirror and installed as system app, working great. I tried downloading round icons from apk and installing, but it does not work. Also tried pulling round icons apks from various Pixel mod zips in the forums, also don't work.
Is there any way to get round icons only if I already have Pixel launcher installed?
For those who don't know, Substratum is an awesome application which takes advantage of RRO runtime in Android Nougat to theme your device. This guide will allow to use your favorite Substratum theme on your EMUI device.
Not all themes are supported. Themes that can run in Legacy mode i.e. supports vanilla Lineage OS will work absolutely fine. Also don't try to theme stock EMUI apps since they are not supported and can potentially cause bootloops.
So let's get started!
Prerequisites
You must have Substratum installed. So head to Play Store to download it.
Your device must be rooted using Magisk.
Instructions
We will first install 'Systemless Substratum Legacy ' module for Magisk. Visit this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-systemless-substratum-legacy-t3623607 to download it.
Use Magisk Manager to install the zip and reboot OR reboot your device to TWRP and flash the zip file.
It is now time to download a theme. Now, I haven't tested a majority of themes available on Play Store. However, I am a fan of back lthemes and the Swift Black theme is perfect for my taste and in our case, works perfectly fine in legacy mode. You can visit this Play Store link to install it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.substratum&hl=en (it is a paid theme).
With everything installed, open Substratum, grant it root privileges and accept the legacy mode warning.
Select your theme. In my case it is Swift Dark. At the top is the dropdown selection menu which allows you to chose your running environent. Choose the option which reads like 'Android 7 Legacy', 'Nougat Legacy', 'Android 7 Lineage', 'Others', etc.
You will now be asked to select apps which you want to theme. Choose carefully only non -EMUI apps for example All Google Apps + other third party apps you've installed.
Build the overlays and reboot your device. If you followed the guide carefully, your device will successfully reboot with all the overlays you selected applied and their respective apps themed.
Rootless
Can substratum be used rootless in emui?

I KNOW I'M ASKING A LOT FROM YOU GUYS, BUT I CAN'T RISK LOOSING DATA AS THIS IS MY MAIN DEVICE.
I'm presently on PR1 rom which was ported to our devices by @GtrCraft which is crazy stable. Any minor bugs that exist can be overcome easily by a simple reboot!!
I really wanted to install this as this room is based on pr2.
Pls also tell if this rom has inbuilt pixel launcher integration for recents. Lack of it can be a deal breaker as this was the only reason I reverted from arrow rom. I need all the Google pixel features as I think I'm addicted to those.
THANKS AND SORRY FOR TROUBLING YOU GUYS!!!
Ok...you know you can just do a nandroid backup of your current ROM and be literally ironclad safe if anything goes wrong?
Just hit "Backup" in TWRP and backup System, System Image, Data (excl. storage), Cache, Boot, (and EFS and Persist just to be safe).
Then flash PR2 to your heart's content and test it out yourself. If it ****s up in any way, reboots randomly, texts your ex, begins running missile launch codes or anything else you don't like......go reboot back to TWRP, "Restore", and choose your backup. Back to how it was before like a time machine.
Why are you still using gsi when we have stable pie rom. You can install pixel launcher with piee recents and suggestion in any rom just so you know. Here are the screenshots from arrow 9.0

The last time I tried, the feature was missing!! Can you suggest the version of gapps that you're using? I used stock and the recents integration was not working!

For the roms like Arrow Pie, you have to enable the pie recents (labled "swipe up from home button") somewhere in the settings. I think it's at the very bottom in System or something.
For the space issue though, if you don't have an SD card I'd just back everything up to your computer via USB and then backup. Then you can pull the backup off (to your computer) and have that ready in case anything catastrophic happens.

Gesture navigation are disabled by default you can enable it in system - gesture
But default launcher is quickstep if you want pixel launcher with working actions and search bar and apps suggestion in recent try either of the following ways.
I am using aroma gapps with arrow os 9.0 i flashed pixel launcher , action service and digital well-being through aroma installer after that you have to paste pixel framework file in vendor->overlay.
If you want a simple procedure there is a magisk module in telegram group that installs pixel launcher ,pixel sounds and pixel boot animations.
Both files can be found in arrow os telegram group. And don't use stock gapps they are not recommended they replace camera libs and camera give issue after flashing them use aroma instead
Thanks.. That'll do.. ??
