[Q] stock launcher mod - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think this is directed more toward launcher devs but anyone's advice is welcome. Which files in the Google Home apk need modding to remove the search bar on the home screen?

I am surprised there are no responses, for a flashable zip or a replaced system spp?

Perhaps not what you are looking for, but if you are rooted and have Xposed, I believe XGELS works with the latest unofficial alpha build of Xposed.

cant find the framwork to update edify on zipthemer

I am lost. I am running a rooted nexus 7 (2012) with CyanogenMod 11. I have xposed framework installed and zip themer as well.
When I try to update edify on zip themer, I can't find the framework. I have looked in every place I know to look except the right one obviously. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and triedthe different methods of installing. I havemade sure to install to the download category and all I get is "updater script not found in... The main reason I'm wanting this is for the lockring mods and the like.
I don't like to let anything get the better of me but for now this has.
Some of the things I have checked are the download folder, I have looked for the kernel version, tried several different files, Google, and basically anything I thought might be it and to no avail. Thank you for any help you can provide.

I don't understand your problem. What does zip themer have to do with the Xposed framework/installer?
Also, what are you actually trying to do? The goal, not the means.

The goal is to install lockring mods. Changing the padlock lockring to something much cooler. Like Darth Vader or iron mans arc reactor.
I don't understand my problem either lol. From my understanding when you use zip themer you have to let it know what ROM you are running whether its kit kat or whatever, but I can't find what I need to update edify in the zip themer, I thought maybe I would need to put in the framework for xposed since I don't run kitkat or the cyanognemod ROM didn't work either. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Tim
This is the Xposed General forum. It's about queries related to the Xposed Framework.
Are you asking about the Xposed framework?

[Q] Locked Bootloader AOSP-ish Experience on C6606?

I'm coming from an S3 where I had Paranoid Android installed. I really miss the stock Android feel. Is there any ROM available for the US LTE T-Mobile variant with a locked bootloader that is similar to stock or are there Xposed modules that can get it there?
I tried the Xposed module that is supposed to turn your Xperia QuickSettings into an AOSP style, but it just caused the systemUI to crash. I can't remember the name.
Thus far I've installed Nova Launcher and used an Xposed module to display "L"-style navigation buttons. If I could change the systemUI, I'd be satisfied.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks AndroidTweaker. I've actually already gotten that far. Any other recommendations to get a more AOSP experience?

[Q] MeanPop ROM 5.01 Base

Since I am new to the forum I need to post here but just wanted
to say this is one smooth ROM and does everything I need to enjoy
the Nexus 6 and I thank Mikey for this. I am sure I will have more questions in the future.
As mentioned in the developers thread if we were to use additional
tweaking apps what would be safe to use without breaking the ROM.
I would like to tweak the icons and size of the tiles to start.

You're going to break the SystemUI if you want to alter the icons of the tiles since Mikey modified the SystemUI heavily.
Thanks for the reply that's why I posted. Any safe tweak
modules I can play with? Not that I need to but would be nice
to know.

Are you talking about Xposed? If so, I mean, yeah you can use Xposed with the ROM but if you want to alter the UI in some way with something like GravityBox, then you're probably going to run into problems.
Any tricks to installing xposed besides using the playstore?

The Xposed stuff in the Play Store are the Xposed modules. And to install the actual Xposed application, you need to go to the official Xposed thread.

Application Settings - Xposed Module Alternatives for MM?

I was running CM11 on my Nexus 5 for all that time and didn't liked the CM13 because the only Xposed Module that i use is not available in MM. it's Application Settings, it can make me launch apps above the lockscreen, and change the DPI as well! any alternatives?
yes I've already googled the question and i found 2 posts on Reddit, but all are pointing to the community version that available on XDA for Lollipop 5.1 and it does not work on MM! yes it boots up with out any boot loops but it does not work.
Is there any Xposed module alternative or even any way else?
Thanks.

Conused about Xposed on Touchwiz, Nova launcher, Marschmallow

Hello
I'm a little confused about xposed and modules on stock rom for Galaxy S5. May be someone can answer my questions.
I rooted my G900F, Marschmallow 6.0.1 and installed TWRP. Then I installed Xposed Framework V89. On my phone is the stock rom installed. I used Touchwiz UI, but changed to Nova launcher.
Now, I read warnings about bootloops while using Xposed with Samsung devices. I wonder if this affects my device too.
1. Since I use Nova Launcher, is Touchwiz still an possible issue?
2. Is Xposed by itself the 'danger' part or are it the modules? So far I installed one module. Everything works fine.
3. When I open Xposed Installer version 89 there is a warning: There seems to be a known Issue (Samsung Touchwiz Rom) with your Rom. Install Xposed might not work or lead to severe problems.
If my phone is affected, what is the best possible way to avoid potential issue? I red there are unofficial Xposed versions which are modified for samsung stock roms. But I couldn't find any.
Others say, newer version are fine for my phone.

Nova launcher it's just a launcher, samsung phones ARE touchwiz, not the launcher itself.
Xposed it's the dangerous part, since it's something that edits your phone. Obliviously, if you install incompatible modules that hurts too, just pay attention to install compatible ones.
With a 5sec. search, you can find this thread.
I don't know if newer versions of official xposed are compatible with touchwiz roms, but in this thread there are the unofficial versions that are 100% compatible with yours, just read and download the correct zip.

Thank you. Very helpful.
On the thread you linked is an download link. The latest version is xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip
That's exactly the version I installed first. Later I updated it trough the xposed installer to version 89. Should I rather downgrade to the v87.1 version, or is the new installed 89version a custom build by wanam anyway?
I couldn't figure out which version (modified or not) is right now installed.

Edit: Since couldn't find a newer version than xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip, I downgraded back to this version. Now I leave it as it is.

And the last questions. When I got the correct custom Xposed framework, can modules still screw up my phone?

I'm not sure about the update. But the "normal" version should not even let your samsung phone boot up, so if it works it's ok.
Modules are not related to the official or unofficial version, I mean if you install for example gravitybox it explicitly says: "not try on touchwiz roms"
That's what I mean. Usually informations like this are in the description in the xda thread so you should be able to understand which is good for you and which not.
To add to that, in the Xposed installer, Download section, you can do searches.
Search for touchwiz or samsung to get some results that may let you know if certain modules are for, compatible with, or not for your setup.
The module descriptions in the installer are similar to the OPs of the various module threads. Might make it a little easier initially to get an overview. Then you can go to various module threads if you have questions concerning them.
