Nougat, root, xposed n other ? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Atm I am on trupurexmm 2.9.
Is nougat worth upgrading over mm?
I read xposed is ready for nougat, any flaws?
Any guides for upgrading nougat over mm, to root as well?
The notification icons in drop down menu are lined up with 5? Can it be extended to 8 icons across? Like in android n-ify xposed module.
Will post more as comes to mind, but that about all I have for now.
Thanks!

Bump.

I personally would say yes it is worth to upgrade to nougat...however I would go the custom ROMs route. I would stay on your 6.0, and then you're safe because most custom ROMs work with 6.0 and very few install over 7.0.
I can't comment on Xposed as I don't use it...but yes you can change the number of quick settings tiles.
So I would go a custom ROM. I personally would recommend AICP or dirty unicorns. Xda thread for AICP, google dirty unicorns they have a website, look for downloads for Clark.

How do I go on about changing the # of quick settings tiles when you draw the drawer down once? n-ify doesn't work "I had 6-7 tiles across with mm" unless I am doing something wrong with n-ify or its just not compatible with nougat?

I don't know if n-ify works with nougat, if the module is updated at all. I was only on nougat custom ROMS and the feature was built on, so never used Xposed with it. I can try and find out if there's another way to change number of tiles, and you could also ask in the n-ify thread if there is one. I'll get back to you with what I find out

Thanks!
I am researching now and definitely know n-ify doesn't work, i dunno why i asked that. :/.
n-ify is badass, and I hate that I must draw the drawer down twice to get to setting gear icon "i don't want settings icon on homepage either". And I hate that there is only 5 big tiles icons when draw is drawn down once and no gear icon..

Go with AICP, it has many customization options, including tiles number etc. I stopped using Xposed because it was slowing my phone down.

Honestly I'd tell you to go the custom ROMS route. Keep an eye on the ground zero ROMs for Oreo ROMS. Otherwise I'd try any ROM which works with the stock nougat firmware. Some do. I'm sure you've heard about the bootlooops with certain custom ROMs with people on stock nougat?

Status bar quick settings

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).

CM isn't just features actually its a lot more.

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

Navigation bar not working

Hi there, it looks like my bottom part of my nexus 4 touch is dead which makes the navigation bar unresponsive, however i was able to make it work with the help of xposed framework by increasing the height of navbar.
My question is can't i make modification in the rom itself and flash it and make it a parmanent fix so that everytime i factory reset rom i dont have to use xposed framework? Because uninstalling the gravitybox app reverts the changes i made to navbar. If this is possible please let me know the procedure for the same.
Thanks

You could install a ROM that has this option incorporated in it, like Chroma, for example. There are more such ROMs in the development section.

AICP roms has the option to change the navbar too but it doesn't have the option to go beyond 48 and i am already on 48.

Well, another solution would be to decompile framework-res.apk and change the DPI from there. But, as I don't know much about coding, I can't really help you with this...

Oneplus 2 List View Animations & Custom animation effect port. (AICP)

Hi All, so i have been using android ice cold project custom rom on my Oneplus 2 for a long time now and i really love this rom. However now that oxygen 3.0.2 official is here, i'd like to go back to stock on one of my oneplus devices. the problem is, on the custom android ice cold project i have a large variety of custom animation sets mainly 'List View Animation' where scrolling becomes fun.
i am wondering if there's any app that i can install to offer such feature on the official oxygen 3.0.2 even if root is requried. Is there really any app out there that will offer additional animation ?
Please help...
There is xposed modules for it.
I don't use it much but as far as i remember there was a module named XUI mod for this specific feature.
You can also try using gravity box for it i guess that also has this feature (i may be wrong) but there is definitely a xposed module fot it.

Great!! that works perfectly. i got my custom animations a whole lot to tweak on my stock rom. Xposed has always been the answer. Thanks man!!

ROM Suggestions needed, anything like Chroma for Nougat?

Need ROM Suggestion, something like Chroma?
I am still on Marshmallow Chroma and didn't get time to update to Nougat.
Now, Nougat Chroma is not there, so looking for an alternative. I haven't tried any Nougat ROM yet, so I have no idea.
Basic requirements I have is:-
1)Layers
2)Volume Rocker Wakeup
3)Double tap on Lockscreen and Status Bar to sleep.
I don't think any other more feature is needed, just ROM should be stable and a decent battery life works fine too. Also, if possible could someone explain the New Substratum system that replaced layers to me in Layman terms, I would be grateful.
Thanks

People hate to answer your question so maybe I can help a little, first the ROM depends on what suits your needs best thing to do is make a backup and try for yourself [emoji41] ...I personally haven't flashed anything in awhile I'm still using chroma 5.1..lol..Also I heard good things about cm version of nougat is OK..I think pure nexus ROM also just look around and do a little reading..hope that helps out

Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5?

Hi everyone,
I have a really crazy idea and like to hear your opinion about it. But first let me introduce the topic.
First, let's take a look at what is going on when upgrading from one major Android version to a newer.
The boot and system partition are filled with new content.
Beside kernel adjustments, this is only related to Android, not device specific stuff, right?
Then we have more stuff like the recovery, closed source drivers for the modem, etc. Several times I read about the "firmware". I'm not sure what is meant with firmware exactly in case of a smartphone and how much device specific it is.
How much is this further stuff related to the Android version running on the device?
Summarizing, what is done by a manufacturer when upgrading a device from let's say Marshmallow to Nougat? What needs to be touched and what is not?
Now to the crazy idea. What about downgrading from one major Android version to an older, espacially when there is no older version by the manufacturer? What would need to be touched in this case? Did someone ever try this?
Finally I come to the real question:
Is it possible to port Android Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5?
The reason for this crazy idea is that I can't live without Xposed. But the Xposed Framework isn't available yet for Android Nougat. And to be honest, I'm not sure anymore if it will ever be.
I'm a developer, but I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to help porting Xposed over to Android Nougat. I would if I could, but my time is limited also.
In contrast to porting Xposed to Nougat, porting Marshmallow to the OnePlus 5 might be easier for me or us, the people who would like to have a OnePlus 5, but can't live without Xposed.
I'm curious about what you think about this crazy idea.
What about Magisk? I've heard that Magisk simplify everything
I actually like the idea! It would be great to have "retro" ROMs, like Android 5, 4.4, or lower. I know it's a bit stupid, but that would be cool in my opinion
I would love it also just because of Xposed,nothing else really

Magisk is a great tool, but it doesn't have the capabilities of Xposed. So this won't help.
But let's talk only about Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5 here, not about alternatives.
I would absolutely love if OP5 had a Custom Marshmallow port.....I also cannot live without Xposed.
I heard Xposed was ported on Nougat Rom with ARM architecture

Just curious, but why? What do you use in Xposed you can't live without that root and custom ROMs don't offer?
Due to the fact you would have to literally write a kernel for MM for the Oneplus5 as there is no existing one, it would be more worthwhile to put all that time into geting Xposed working.
It's probably possible but the mammoth effort to get an older OS on your device would not be expedient...

I am currently using the Oneplus 5,
do you think there could be any way i can use Xposed?
The reason I prefer Oneplus is for being so open and easy to root together with Xposed personally.
1. Technically it should be possible, you just need drivers that would boot Marshmallow on SD 835.
2. Older systems usually have simpler/less API than new one, so there would be no "unsupported" system features.
3. Easiest way would be to port a kernel from a device that shipps with SD 835 and Marshmallow, for now I saw some on benchmarks, but they will probably ship with N onboard when released.

We don't discuss this here. You can believe me, when I say I can't live without it. Xposed's capabilities go much much further then custom roms.

Not possible currently without Xposed. Have not seen an app able to do this, have not seen Tasker or Tasker Plug-In able to do this.....nothing does this function. Very useful!
@geoff5093 OK, if you really want to know, I took the time to create a short list:
YouTube AdAway is a good example. It removes ads from the original YouTube app.
YouTube Background Playback adds what you usually only get when you pay for YouTube Red.
XHangouts adds certain stuff to the Hangouts app, like moving the call button to the manu, so that you don't accidently press it.
Amplify can extend your battery life.
Greenify works also only with root, but better (more capabilities) with Xposed.
MinMinGuard removes ads from apps.
App Settings, a classic module by rovo89, the developer of Xposed, can do several configuration stuff per app.
GravityBox is an example, that offers functionality that can also be done by using a custom rom, but selected features are only offered by this module.
I do even more with Xposed, almost everything isn't possible using only root and custom roms.
TL;DR
A custom rom can only add/change functionality of built in stuff, not apps. Xposed can manipulate also apps.

Thanks for the list. I used to use many of those as well, but the benefits of greenify and amplify are pretty much moot when you have to sacrifice the significantly enhanced performance of doze in Nougat.

It seems that not many people are interested in Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. This is comprehensible, at least since we saw a first unofficial release of Xposed for Nougat here on XDA.
For everyone participating in this thread, Xposed is the reason why we would like to see Marshmallow on the OnePlus 5. Once Xposed for Nougat is out, the idea get's obsolete.
Let's see when we will get Xposed for Nougat, hopefully rovo89 is successful! :fingers-crossed:

Unofficial Xposed is Working on Nugat, though it breaks, SafetyNet. It was first tasted on OP3T :fingers-crossed:
[XPOSED] [NOUGAT] [WORK] [CAN UNSTABLE] Xposed SDK25/24 for all arch
Not all of the Modules are working, here's an Unofficial List...
[UNOFFICIAL] List of modules which work with Nougat Xposed SDK25
the Unofficial Supported Device list sohows OP5 is supported.
Take risk, you never know what you may find. At least you may come up with some interesting Logs.
