Change the notification panel to black ???

How can I change my notification panel to black instead of the stock navy blue? Ive been googling for weeks trying to figure out how this is done but I cant figure it out. Also, How do I get a better status bar that will let me customize the icons and which actions show up on the status bar?

Root the phone and look for a Xposed module, some mod/theme or a custom rom to can do that mate.

Adding on to what the gentleman above me said, Install xposed, find a module called Wanam xposed and inside the "theme" menu you can change the colour of most notification shade UI elements.

Thanks. Does rooting prevent future system updates? I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm just tryna understand the diff between this and jailbreaking.

As far as i know rooting does prevent OTA updated but you are still able to update through kies or odin. I have found jailbreaking to be very similar to rooting in the way it allows you to modify the system. I have come from an iPhone too

There are lots of tutorials on how to theme, which would teach you how to change the colour. But the easiest approach would be to use Xposed framework Wanam module as already suggested.
Jailbreaking is only superficially similar to Rooting. Jailbreaking an IOS phone just removes certain Apple restrictions, letting you run apps that Apple otherwise bars or using alternate repositories. Almost everything that a Jailbreak adds to an IOS phone is already available to stock Android users.
Rooting grants almost complete access to the OS, giving proper superuser status to the Android OS. As well, root allows access to the flash memory which you can't do with IOS, Jailbroken or not.
.

Thanks. I have rooted my device and downloaded the xposed module. I applied all the settings and theme colors that I want but my device will not change. What am I doing wrong?

NVM got it

Yeah rebooting does help. But then no one ever seems to read the instructions.
Glad you figured it out.

Cannot re-enable apps that I've disabled.

I have a thing against having lots of apps in my app drawer that I never use. I always go through and disable ones that I won't need. Well, I disabled some of the ZTE apps like My Voice, and now I can't re-enable them. When I go to app info, it shows "disabled" on the list for the app, but when I tap it, there is an "enable" button that is grayed out.
I'd like to be able to do this without factory resetting the phone.

If you can get ADB running to connect the phone to the PC try this
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm unhide package.Name

:laugh: looks like we are all here , by the way wont work (unhide command) needs to be " pm enable " and requires system access (root) "Permission Denial" , i try with a disabled app(s), just hope we get that update soon to avoid all this problems
P.S. yeah i'm the guy from ZTE forum

Haha good to see you guys!

Too bad on the ADB pm cmd, i was 50/50 on it working
I need to find a way to auto-post to both forums through :laugh:

Technically i went there from here
Looks like you ran directly from terminal emulator. I'm not sure, but ADB shell might run under a different UID and have more permissions. This might have changed in MM, but you could use pm command to grand permission to Greenify package on non rooted devices

Was there ever a fix for this? I am running into the same issue and can't re-enable apps.

Update to B27 (and maybe factory reset). I'm pretty sure this was one of the things fixed in B27.

Are you sure about this? I have seen posts on ZTE board saying that apps can no longer be enabled/disabled with B27. With B20 you can at least do disabling (I am not sure about enabling).

some you can some you can't. you can disable ZTE browser, but can't disable ZTE calendar or ZTE messanger for instance.

For disabling apps, are you using a different launcher?
Launch the Stock Android launcher and disable apps through the app drawer - I've successfully disabled ZTE calendar and messenger on my device.
Re-enabling seems another problem altogether though..

B27 can still be rooted and bootloader unlocked. No real reason not to update.

no such love for B27

That was something else that was changed.
On B20, if you disabled apps in Settings > Apps, sometimes you would not be able to re-enable them.
(What you're talking about) On B20, if you use the Stock Android theme, if you press and hold on an application icon, there's a "Disable" option at the top of the screen that you can drag the icon to. Using this method, you could disable apps that you couldn't via Settings > Apps, such as the ZTE Calendar and Messaging apps. However, this allowed you to disable things that could cause issues with the device, such as disabling Settings or the Dialer. If you disabled apps this way, you could not re-enable them via Settings > Apps.
On B27, you can still disable apps in Settings > Apps, and people haven't reported having issues re-enabling them.
On B27, the "Disable" option in the Stock Android theme has been removed. So while you're not able to disable some stock apps, you cannot accidentally disable something that could break the OS.

Thanks - hadn't noticed that difference with B27 till now.
However, I've disabled the stock clock, and can no longer re-enable it through the App settings.
There does appear to be another solution (I haven't tried it though) - from the App settings, if you select the 3 dot menu on the top right, the option to reset app preferences should re-enable apps (and reset other settings as well).

Did you disable it back in B20? Cause when I look at the stock clock in B27 on my device, the disable option is greyed out.

Anyone else theme their Axon 7 yet with Substratum yet? Any issues?

I themed my Axon 7 a few days ago using Substratum and the "DarkStock" theme. A few things don't theme and I always leave a few "Google" things out due to when they update, they'll crash (usually Photo's and Calendar).
I discovered today, that if I have "Android System" themed and try to change my input (keyboard) either in Settings or on the pull-down notifications, my phone will reboot. If I remove "Android System" from being themed, it works fine... But, if I'm running a dark theme I need the Android System themed, otherwise I get dark text on dark background and it's near impossible to read.
Luckily, I don't need to change my keyboard.....and I discovered it by accident, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this or if it's just my phone?

Huh,didn't know zte didn't have their own keyboard.
Hmmm, I think theres a themed Google Keyboard in TBO. Personally I use SwiftKey as I can't stand the Google keyboard and want the numbers row on top. There's a great (free) SwiftKey in TBO as well with hundreds of (free) themed keyboards.

Yeah, they use TouchPal as their "stock" keyboard......But that's not really what I was getting at with my post
I've used SwiftKey for 2 or 3 years now.... I don't plan on changing, but if I wanted to, I can't because my phone will reboot unless I remove the "Android System" part of the theme.

I understand. It's pretty common for some themes to break things. Actually I was talking to one of guys from Substratum and he was saying that it shouldn't work but that Layers should. I told him that it was the other way round and he thinks it's the legacy part of Substratum. Which doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I'm just glad we can theme some of it. So if you leave the Android system themed and leave the keyboard alone does it still crash? Maybe if you froze or uninstalled the stock keyboard in titanium it would work?

When I applied the theme, I only themed the following:
Android System
Calculator
Google Contacts & Dialer (I did not theme the stock dialer & contacts)
Google App
System UI
Substratum
The rest I left alone, so I never themed the keyboard.

Ok, so as long as you don't try to change the input keyboard it's fine. Sorry for being obtuse.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.

I just tries to apply a Substratum theme and phone got stuck on the Axon boot screen..
What sucked the most was I had just got Project fi working but forgot to make a back up before applying the theme so I had to do that all over again.

I am not able to compile my substratum theme. Did you do anything special like use a different kernel? Or flash anything?

No, I am rooted...You have to be to use Substratum. After some issues with reboots getting stuck on the "Axon" logo, I have not themed anything else (after the last clean flash of B29) other than the PlayStore (made it dark). I'm going to wait until it's fully compatible now.

That just frustrates me. My busy box is updated.... It just won't compile. I am rooted. 2.78. I want to try different themes.... At least Gmail and play store. It really would make the system ui pop.... If the white could be replaced.

I thought that Substratum required "Masquerade" to be built into the ROM for Substratum to work, which this one does not have. Correct?

I think you are correct. But I read others have had it work so I was seeing if I was missing something.

I had that same problem until I disabled write protection, but you said your busy box is up to date I assume you've done that. My busy box not updating was the first clue that it was enable, then trying to modify build.prop and moving apps needed for project to system(I actually ended up just flashing gapps with google dialer, GSC and Project fi).
Once I got mine to compile I themed a lot more things than the Op but still not everything and phone wouldn't boot. I haven't tried again yet with only applying them to a few things but I've heard more recent builds of substratum have been having issues on non Nexus devices so thought that might be what happened with me.
BTW does anyone know if there's a way to remove the theme in recovery like with the old layers themes? I don't recall ever reading anything about it after the switch to substratum and couldn't find anything when phone wouldn't boot so i just flashed an oldish(missing project fi mods) system backup(on my Nexus if something went wrong with layers I'd just reflash vender image-seemed easier than deleting files).

I am pretty sure that you nailed it. I think my write protection is enabled. I have a root Explorer that offers to remount the filesystem so it can be r/w except it fails to complete the process. I had to access my filesystem through twrp file manager to actually change anything system level. But I am rooted, twrp and busybox pro says all good. I think I need to investigate how to get r/w access (like root does or should do).
And yes, there is an overlay file you can access through twrp that will save you if you bootloop. But also, in your home folder, there is an easier way to save yourself from a bootloop. The substratum folder is created when installed and inside the folder is 2 flashable zips. One for legacy and other. In case of emergency.
* I just checked and my busybox is 1.18.4. I can install without errors but it does not actually install. When I reload busybox it only shows old busybox...
++ got it. I had to TWRP, terminal: reboot disemmcwp
--- just finished installing Biohazard substratum and the only issue is the Android setting text is dark and almost unreadable. But everything else looks great! BTW I use tbo SwiftKey for my keyboard so I don't know if the keyboard is still causing problems.

That may be why I get stuck at the boot logo when I apply more than the PlayStore....But It does work, other than messing up on the reboot after the theme is applied and working.
I'm currently running my PlayStore with a dark theme.....Was on Stock/rooted B29, now I'm using DrakenFX custom ROM.

I just tried applying Spectrum theme again but only android system, system UI and a few apps, still got stuck on boot.
I guess I'll try a simpler theme like biohazard and wait for a AOSP ROM before trying Spectrum again.

Biohazard rebooted when I opened Google photos. Then I tried Domination. Everything seemed OK. Then I tried spectrum and everything was great EXCEPT when I used my chase bank app and the location /GPS appeared and caused a reboot. Tried it again and same results.
I will keep trying different variations. I love substratum.

I love it too..... But I don't want to get stuck at the "Axon" boot logo again and have to wipe and start over (again, for the 3rd time). So, I'll wait to theme more until it gets worked out.
I know the keyboard selector crashed it, as well as holding the power button to get the "reboot" menu, but I use a different reboot menu now so that didn't matter.....But sometimes, I'd hold it too long by mistake and it'd reboot on me anyways.

When installing substratum, a folder is created in your home files. Inside the substratum folder is two zip files. Both are a recovery file that removes overlays. I used it to save myself about an hour ago.

After trying lots of good themes, I seem to have found one that is trouble free. Every attempt to cause a reboot fails. All past problems are now uncreatable .... But it might just be that I have not found the problem yet. If I do I will update my story. But..
The theme is called SHARKPIE magpie theme. By setiawanjimmy

"checking root access" stuck

hi
I have a rooted nexus 6p and I tried to install gmd hide soft keys.
and the "checking root access" bar stuck and I cant use the app...
what can I do?
thanks

How do you have rooted it?

I had that issue, too. I use SuperSU, I was on the previous 2.78 when I tried to use the app, but after it didn't work, I uninstalled the app.
The app description on the play store gives no mention of N, and looks to have not been updated since October of last year. Maybe it's a compatibility issue?

It's probably not compatible with systemless root.

You can try hide navbar with substratum and then use a different navigation mode like pie or swipe/gestures

It depends on what you like... Pie Control is for the pie navigation mode or one app that I like too very much is Swipe Gesture (IAP on the play store)
There is even Dynamic NavBar but I remember that on my Marshmallow causes problem when I was on Nexus 5 after that I haven't more tried on Nougat..

I had the same problem trying out GMD Gesture Control Lite and stumbled upon a workaround. Not sure if it will work with the other GMD apps, but it might be worth a try.
When you first open the app after installing, hit the home button to exit to the desktop when SuperSU asks you to grant permission before the time runs out. Then go into SuperSU and manually grant permission to the app. Then go to the app and it should have root access.

Tried for curiosity GMD auto hide soft keys and same problem..it asks root access but then it stuck on "checking root access" for unknown reasons... On SuperSU access is granted.. I think the app is not fully ready for Nougat

[GUIDE][ROOT][(ED)XPOSED] Install Xposed using Magisk

SOME OF THIS MIGHT BE A BIT OUTDATED.
I haven't checked Riru for some time now. My school is killing me with assignments. When I have a bit of free time I will check everything and update this post.
Hello!!
In this thread I'm gonna show you how to install root with Magisk and install xposed.
First off all. This is how I did it. I'm going to explain it to the best of my abilities. However, if this does not work for you, or it resolves into a brick, its not my fault. Everything you do to your device it your own doing.
With that being said. Lets start!!
My setup:
Phone: Poco F2 Pro
Rom: xiaomi.eu Stable for Poco F2 Pro/Redmi K30 Pro
Android version: 10
Root: Magisk 21
Edxposed version: EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.2.4529.-release
Riru core version: magisk-riru-v21.3
EdXposed manager version: EdXposedManager-4.5.7-45700
What did i do?
I installed xiaomi.eu weekly first. But quickly after finding out that root doesn't work on Android 11 yet, I installed the stable which was still on Android 10.
So here are the steps what i did to install EdXposed
The files should be attached to this post as a zip, if you don't see them here is a link
1: Install latest Magisk 21.1
2: Install magisk-riru-v21.3.zip
3: Install EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.2.4529.-release.zip
4: Reboot phone
5: Install EdXposed installer
After I did this Chrome stopped working. Every time I wanted to open Chrome it just closed on its own. So I did a little search on Google and found a fix.
Thanks to Reddit user lkn194 for explaining how to fix this issue.
A quick step-by-step on how he/she did it:
In EdXposed Installer:
1: Go to settings> Framework> activate APP LIST MODE
2: Go to applications (Black list)> Leave enabled for:
• Android Services Library;
• Chrome;
• Google service structure;
• Google play services;
• Google play services for AR
3: Restart your device. After that you're done and Chrome is working
The first module I installed was CustoMIUIzer. Its an amazing addon mod for MIUI devices. You should definitely check that out.
This is the link
I hope this works for you as well as it does for me.
If you have any questions, be sure to say so.
Thanks for checking this out and have a great day!!

Welp the files weren't attached to that post, so here they are.

Thanks for the tutorial, but just wondering; does Customiuizer work well for you if you've got phone security enabled? I ask because I tried it earlier after correctly installing edxposed on the latest stable MIUI EU, but once I had customised the settings through the app and rebooted to have them applied, all I got was an onscreen 'please wait' warning that just hung there forever.
After doing some online research, I found out that if the phones encrypted (fingerprint or password), the Customiuizer app gets stuck on load for some strange reason. If all security options are disabled, then the app will apply the customisations just fine (although at the moment not all features seem to work on Miui12), so just wanted to know if this happens to you as well... Thanks again.

Hmm. To be honest, I've never encountered that. I always disable the MIUI security checks. So everything works fine for me from the get-go. I guess you have to disable the security to get it working. I'm sorry to say so, I'm not much help here...

Thanks for the reply, but when you say you disable MIUI security checks, which options are you referring to? Is it something within the customiuizer app itself, or on phone settings?

I'm sorry, i didnt say what. I was referring to disabling the security checks on installing apk's. That all i disabled. I also did nothing with the Security app. I haven't even actually opend that app.
Try disabling the security for apk's check by going into
Security app --> settings --> Security Scan --> disable "Scan before installing".
I also didn't click on any "agree" button cus like i said, i dont use the Security app
Thats what i have. Nothing more nothing less.

Thanks, but I had already disabled "Scan before installing". I guess it's something to do with the device being encrypted, because once I remove any passwords or fingerprints, some of the app's functions do indeed work (eg.: advanced reboot, volume keys media playback control). I guess for the moment it's either no security at all or no CustoMIUIzer...
A small request if I may; if you have the time, could you kindly check if album art is displaying on your lock-screen while paying music? The option to activate this feature is under 'lock-screen' mods within the CustoMIUIzer app... Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the confirmation. Album art didn't seem to work when I tried yesterday...
In any event, it's all quite strange since I'm also using the same rom and configuration as you are:
Xiaomi.eu Stable for Poco F2 Pro/Redmi K30 Pro
Magisk 20.4
EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.2.4529.-release.zip
Do you have any password / PIN / fingerprint enabled?

Really weird... :silly:
Anyhow, will try and reinstall the app again later today and fiddle around with it a bit to see what could be causing the issue then...
Thanks anyhow for the help. :good:
Update: Tried it all again starting over from scratch, and this time the CustoMIUIzer app worked perfectly without any hangs. What I did differently was verify all permissions had been granted for the app and also enabled it to auto-start as well, and so far, it seems to be working fine.
Had a problem with the album art on lock-screen not applying, though, but after a few tries I managed to figure out that it was because of some compatibility issue with the default MIUI theme; it worked when I set the 'Classic' theme as default, and also used a static wallpaper instead of a live one...

No problem, thanks for replying anyhow.
BTW, I found out why the app was freezing... Seems it was because I had activated the 'no password after boot' option under the apps lockscreen settings... ?

Why not use Edxposed canary (5.0.6)?

Because for me, it didnt work.

Just wondering if you'd still suggest using the stable ROM instead of the weekly.

As of now, root in its whole doesn't work on Android 11. And because it only works for Android 10 there is no other option but only to use this on Stable.
Unless you want no root and just want check out the new features. I suggest the Stable.

I dont know anything about root on Android 11. When i tried to install it on beta it didnt work. And so far I've seen only one person who said he/she had been able to acquire root on 11. If someone else can confirm this that would be great. I cant test it rn, cus of personal reasons, I need a stable phone.

for what you use Xposed?
