All I'm looking for is a ROM that has the Motorola camera the ability to customize all icons (battery, signals, clock etc), easy access to battery saving options and that really it. Everything else is a bonus.

You don't need a ROM you only need root, gravity box, greenify and that's it.

No matter what I use I can't change the colour or the icon for that matter of the wifi/data symbols. I've tried ex themer, Xblast, ROM Toolbox, nothing changes the colour of the signal icons.

Have you tried HK Theme manager for Xposed.....works great. It's similar to the CM/T Mobile theme changer and it uses those themes. Just Google it and you'll find the XDA page.....

Just curious...does the HK Theme Manager cause any lag? I was following it for a bit but saw some discussion about that so stopped watching it.
I enjoyed Cobalt Them on my gNex. I'd kinda like to get those effects back.
BUT, I might not do anything if it causes our good 'Ol Gravity Box to break!
Thanks!
I have zero lag and it does not cause any issues with gravity box. So gar so good. X theme gave me the problems.....
I also like Cobalt.....

I couldn't really figure out HK theme manager either. http://d-h.st/users/proseray?fld_id=0 go to that website download xtheme engine beta 5. Download the apks of the themes you want also on that page and go from there.

X Theme Beta 5 is no longer being developed. You use HK just like X Theme, not sure what the difficulty is.

For some reason HK theme manager just freezes on me. While as xtheme as its no longer supported still works great for me.

Make sure you download the latest version....I'm having absolutely no issues with it. Not sure why so many people are having issues.
Maybe the specific ROM build, busybox version, etc. could be causing issues.

Anyone have the theme chooser app that I need to use the themes on ROM Toolbox? Or know where I can get it

You download them then install them and open up xtheme. It will show picture attached then just press the back button and click on a theme you installed, apply theme and soft reboot.

This is very disappointing.... A lot of people have been helping you out. Obviously your not one to follow directions well.... Use HK theme manager and download the themes provided or do a Google search and really look, read and follow directions. Or follow my advice which the website I provided you if you LOOKED hard enough you would have seen xthemeengine beta 5 apk in the list of apks to download....

Old launcher on lollipop image?? This launcher isn't from lollipop
(Oficial lollipop image).
I installed apex.
Nav bar, status bar and app drawer are transparent
I had the same thing. Install the Google Now Launcher from the play store.

So what? Google already published the Lollipop launcher on the Play Store.
It's Google Now Launcher.
Yeah, but it doesn't make any sense, why the 2012 version is the one with the jb launcher? It's stupid...

For me it does. Im running Google Now.
Try to reboot och re-flash the image.
Also, where is the gallery ?
Gallery is replaced by Photos.
Last night I wanted to watch something on my N7 and it asked me which Player I prefer.
ES Media Player, VLC or Photos (?!).
Well, opening with Photos, played also the movie
Cheers

google now launcher makes my n7 very laggy. that's probably why it's not included in the factory image.

Now launcher is smooth on my nexus 7.
After installing it delete launcher and other apps in system folder. Solves a lot of issues freeing up 160mb of system space compared to 11mb free.

have you guys noticed that with the new google now launcher, if you try to change wallpaper long-pressing on the screen it shows the old kitkat wallpaper list instead of the new material light ones?
and if you go to setting - display - background there's a "doubled" wallpaper list?

Lollipop. The snapdragon 410 cpu. I want to be sure before I flash xposed from twrp. I would also like to hear if there are any major bugs with xposed on the Leon at this point. Thanks.
I'm not sure about flashing Xposed onto the stock rom, but on CM 12.1 I'm having no problems with Xposed. I'm currently running modules such as gravitybox, snapprefs, xgels, lolistat, youtube adaway etc. without any problems.
Been using xposed without issue on my Leon. No complaints. Flash the standard arm version. Using gravity box tweak, YouTube ad away. Haven't tried any others. This is my backup phone so I limited myself to root/recovery/backup/tibackup/debloat. Pretty impressed with this for the $55 I spent on it. Not a bad little device.

Stock ROM. Xposed works fine on CM/AOSP builds but you have to use caution when installing modules that can cause conflicts.

Would you mind listing which modules you have on it?
(I seem to remember that GravityBox LP had a warning that it might not play nice with skinned ROM's so I'm especially curious about that.)
I have YouTube ad away, YouTube background playback, gravitybox, and play store fixes, because I changed the DPI settings.
Gravitybox is for traffic monitor, status bar and recents mods. Not really a whole lot else that works in there.

I like to use GravityBox for lockscreen shortcuts and notification overrides (to make it vibrate for longer so I don't miss messages).
I'm guessing these won't work?
Also has anyone tried the Mobile Radio Active bug fix module? The Leon has the same active radio bug as all the LP devices out there- so a fix would be handy...
I don't have an answer for either of your questions. Try and see what happens. Just know how to disable xposed if a problem occurs.

Has anyone tried using custom launchers like Nova on the Essential? Do they use the full screen or do they letterbox around the camera like apps that haven't been updated tend to?
bump.....this is an excellent question I didnt think of. If someone could try action launcher it would be appreciated!!!
Nova and Action Launcher both are not full screen.

Yup, nothing is full screen right now. Just the stock Essential launcher which is pretty terrible and has virtually no settings.
Isn't the stock launcher literally Essentials own port of the Pixel launcher?

I'm not too sure it's something that Nova can fix. I just received this email response from them when I inquired about it.
Hello,
This is a bug on their end that we are hoping to have a work around for at some point in the future.

I have an HTC U11 and own the paid version of the Shortcutter app by LeeDrOiD. I've installed it on my PH1 and it's giving me a few more features such as custom quicksettings tiles and a sidebar. I have enabled his version of night mode which adds some red to the screen. It's gonna have to tide me over until we get root and custom launchers etc. rolling.

what about lawnchair? anyone tried?
I want to increase my grid size to 7 by 5 and stock launcher just has 0 customization!
Did anyone who installed a different launcher have any issues switching back to the stock Essential launcher (Launcher3)? I tried Action Launcher and after seeing that it was not full screen I switched back to Launcher3. However, Launcher3 won't run now - it keeps crashing. I tried uninstalling Action Launcher and rebooting but neither helped. I'm stuck on Action Launcher now because the stock launcher crashes before loading the home screen. Any advice? Anyone have the stock launcher apk?
UPDATE - I got it working again by clearing the cache and data for the app. I just have to set it back up with my preferred apps & widgets again.
What sucks is that the the status bar size is HUGE!! I tried many apps for status bar overlay but doesn't work with custom launcher. Pretty stupid of Essential!

That doesn't have anything to do with essential, the custom launcher developers have to update their launchers to work with essential phone.

I sent an enhancement request to Nova and they responded with the following:
"Essential has made it that only apps that are whitelisted will use the full screen. You would need to contact them directly."
Looks like we all need to be submitting requests to Essential. Seems to be a stupid decision on their part.

folks of you want to use custom launchers, it takes about 60 seconds to submit a request here:

one thing android has always been better than ios at is customization. with this phone we can't say that. fill out the request, please. include the name of the apps... nova launcher, action, lawnchair, etc.
