So I rooted my phone a few days ago when I installed 2.2 but I haven't really done anything with it.
I was going to install the voodoo lagfix but then I read that it messes around with the screen and your phone only looks good at 100% brightness. I run my screen on 0% brightness all the time so don't really want this feature.
Can I still install voodoo (Via Odin) without dicking around with the screen or anything else? I just want the lag gone. Are there any other better lag fixes instead? I don't want to kill my battery anyway since it's fairly flaky as it is.
Also should I install a custom ROM? I actually like TouchWiz so would like to keep it. I like the 4 icons at the bottom, prefer the look of the appdraw, like the lock screen puzzle piece widget and I really like the buttons in the notifications bar. I can't find any way to emulate these features on other phones so assume they're unique to TW.
Any other recommended apps or things I should look at?
TL;DR, is it possible and is any dev attempting to mod the PA Halo to Samsung Multi-Windows?
(This probably isn't a question which validates an own thread, but it is something I wanted to know really badly; I suppose this can be a thread in which these miscellaneous questions like this one can be asked)
As we all know recently PA has recently open sourced HALO, for which edits in the rom are made to the following to make it work:
no. mostly systemUI. and one setting in framework.jar. -res contains only androids resources.

Since multi-windows is the only TW feature which really keeps me on TW roms I was wondering whether it was possible to mod the work done by PA, to mimic the multi-windows feature on AOSP(A) roms?
Since I am not a developer I can't really do it myself, I can list what in my opinion needs to be changed to have it function as Multi-windows;
Conditions; HALO now continues to be in front of the app it has been called before (this is also possible without getting a notification from the concerning app by adding this app to the HALO via "HALO)))"(source:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo)). The end behaviour from an app on the front now needs to be changed to some kind of added button. Right now it vanishes when you tap the app it is on top off.
Looks; the app in the background is being blacked out, this also needs to be removed. The size of the app being shown needs to become wider, full screen, by which it loses it 16:9 scale (Google may find this braking app compatibility, just as with cornerstone and CM)
I think these are the most obvious changes to be made to get Multi-Windows on AOSP(A)....
(Another idea maybe is to keep the HALO, the way it is, but made is resizesable and being able to move it around (the darkening of the other already running app still needs to be removed...))
I am looking to replace CyanogenMod on my N6, but am attached to their System Profiles feature. Specifically the ability to completely skip the lockscreen when attached to WiFi or Bluetooth.
The new LP system security feature adds a lockscreen that I don't want, and cannot bypass even with lockscreen notifications turned off.
I'd be happy with the stock ROM and a tweak to bypass the lockscreen if anyone knows of one.
I've been reading all of the various ROM features, but none have this listed (that I saw. Bit of a needle in a haystack). It may be there, but I missed it, or just not considered important enough to list as a feature.
Thanks.
I just use tasker and secure settings for this. Though I haven't used 5.1 so cannot confirm it works
Thanks. I will take a look. I have a Tasker license, although I haven't used it in ages.

I have a Note 3 which I'm looking to make into my backup phone/dedicated GPS. It's currently on 4.4.2 and I would like to believe that, in the intervening major versions, many of the missing (obvious) OS features which made Xposed so necessary are now available as stock system options. Being familiar with the awful, pervasive anti-customization/pro-simplicity/for-dummies mobile development philosophy that now threatens even PC software, I'm afraid I'm probably wrong.
Ideally, of course, I'd want Xposed on my yet-to-be-determined 7.x phone, but if that isn't going to happen, I'd like to know if there are built-in options now to partially replace great Xposed modules like:
NotifyClean - In Android N, can I set rules to totally block specific notifications?
NeverSleep - Set certain applications to disable sleep mode when active?
Wanam Xposed - Theming options (assuming I go with a Samsung phone)?
Xposed LED Control - Different LED colors per notification type?
DoubleTapToSleep - Sleep without using a hard button?
BootManager
Network Speed Indicator
If someone familiar with Android N could comment on the list above, I'd be very grateful. I'd rather buy a 'new' older phone than get an S8 or similar and find (assuming there's even a root exploit) that my phone is crippled versus my nearly 4 years old Note 3.
Notifiyclean can be substituted by power notification controls, which I don't know if it comes with stock rom, but I know it's there for the rom I'm using.
Neversleep can be substituted by the caffeine toggle, if your rom has it. I believe you can also find it on the play store to use if it's not built-in.
Wanam Xposed, I haven't used in ages. Can't even remember what it does...
LED Control should be built-in, if not custom roms.
DoubleTapToSleep should be your kernel.
Bootmanager, I'm unsure... Maybe alternatives with root?
Network Speed Indicator can be done with apps or built-in from custom roms.

Thanks... It sounds like I should be able to get by without Xposed, though I don't know if I'll ever be able to install a custom ROM considering I will probably end up with an AT&T phone. I guess first I need to find a rootable phone.
Is there an alternative to App Settings module, to allow for per-app dpi settings without Xposed, because android n?

My first idea was Tasker, but I am not sure if you can modify the dpi value with Tasker itself. I guess with the help of an appropriate plugin, you should be able to set the dpi on a per-app base.

Gravitybox for nougat
removed the "gravitybox framework not responding" error on api 24 and 25
also re-branded the app as gravitybox for nougat
tested working:
battery (kind of)
center clock + day of the week
data transmission Monitor
power setting menu
skip tracks with volume buttons
clock settings
you tell me...
Not working:
Stock battery with percentage
Quick Settings
Lock screen shortcuts
Setting of the optional button
deactivate network type indicator in status bar
Navigation bar tweaks (BRICK WARNING!)
you tell me...
sources for helpers
download links for sdk 24 and 25 are the same
Code:
uninstall the old one, otherwise it'll give "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.ceco.nougat.gravitybox attempting to redeclare permission gravitybox.permission.UNLOCK already owned by com.ceco.marshmallow.gravitybox]" error
Since I won't have a lot of time to port everything (btw, I'm already late for one thing right now) so I expect the community to help.
That's why I posted the source at github, this way anyone can collaborate to the code.
Anyone that helps me will get credit too, just claim it someway I can see it
brick fix by @photoguy29
To fix this: Reboot to TWRP recovery and navigate to: Advanced>File Manager>data>data>com.ceco.nougat.gravitybox
Once you are in the com.ceco.nougat.gravitybox folder, in the bottom right corner is a folder Icon. Tap that icon>delete
This will delete all the changes you made in Gravitybox, and upon reboot, the System UI functions properly. The gravitybox apk will also still be installed, so you can go and re-activate your tweaks that WERE working.

For me works:
battery
center clock + day of the week
data transmission Monitor
power setting menu
Not works:
Lock screen shortcuts
Setting of the optional button
Why that rush?
I have already migrated like 90% of the module to Nougat after working for almost 2 weeks on it non-stop. Currently QS management is undergoing redesign and there's still quite a lot of work left. It's still a work in progress - not suitable to be made available to the masses and also, I am still not convinced whether to release something as there is no official Xposed Framework. I'll see.
@ C3CO76
Because I like it a lot your gravity box [emoji41] [emoji39]

I'm glad you like it. But then it doesn't make any sense to release a version that is far from working when you could keep it for personal use.
Feel me?
@C3C076 i guess people love GB so much
This ported xposed for N situation is confusing but people are desperate to have xposed and their beloved modules even if its partially working
Can't live without gb's pie control

sorry, I didn't knew it, I looked into the git and thought that no one would do it anymore (because nougat had been here for a long time)
but still a lot of people are just crazy like me that wants it even if sacrifices need to be made, just like people wants an unstable xposed rather then nothing, they want the gravitybox
and no one uses every tweak available like me, I just use one or two and both works
I'm glad to see you haven't abandoned the project, I wouldn't be able to do it like you
and please release it, for people like us, there are 66422 downloads on the xposed for nougat thread (counting the xposed installer app because it's the same for both api levels and only one version) not counting people like me that downloaded it from the alternate link.
sort of 66422 persons waiting for gravitybox to be released even if it breaks something
and not everyone knows how to release a version that is far from working when you could keep it for personal use, I learned how to use xposed 3 years before learning something that would allow me to do this port (and it still sucks)
Yes, I understand. Hard to tell what comes next at this time. I will be taking decisions after I am happy enough with the migration results and the results of internal testing on various device/OS combinations I have at hand.
not working : deactivate network type indicator in status bar
Is lockscreen transparency and blur working
Not working: Navigation bar tweaks
Activating the master switch will cause the System UI to crash upon reboot.

Stock battery with percentage not working for me.
I believe what this guy is doing, is a good thing, if people get into installing Xposed modules that are unofficial they should know that it's unstable, and in most cases can brick your device. CT, I do see where you're coming from, but it's along the lines of "People don't kill people, guns do." No, that's not how the world works, and everyone on the Internet should be able to share what they want.
Thanks for the mod, working battery percentage (buggy), skip tracks with volume buttons, clock settings, advances power menu. Moto G5+ stock rom sdk 24 Xposed systemless (magisk)
Patience is a virtue...

yes, that's what I meant
if you use any xposed version with any module, custom roms, root, any mods you shouldn't care about stability (people do but they shoudn't)
by the way, I looked on the Gravitybox git and I saw no nougat branch
so I did this because I thought that either the creator wouldn't make any more releases or he hadn't started (and if he wanted to use my as base because of the mm to n naming changes could save him like 5 minutes and I wanted to help and this is all the only help I can give)
and I had this mod for myself because Center clock and round battery works and I only use thoose
but I thought on the people at the same situation that coudn't do It by themselves
but thanks again for C3C076 for being patient with my impatience
I'm happy it won't be my job to port the rest of it because it'd be baaad
