Any alternatives for Blurred System UI? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the Xposed module that would give you're notification panel a blurred effect. seems to have disappeared earlier last year. Just wondering if there are any alternatives you guys may know of. I have a rooted Note 5, 5.1.1 btw.
edit: suggest of any system tweaking mods would help

It's still in there as an exposed module. I tried it yesterday but it doesn't play ball with the toggle tiles.

Yeah an update needs to be released for this phone. It's not 100% working yet. I'm having trouble finding modules that actually would work.

Your Xposed Modules Usage Please

A kind request from those of you who have Unlocked Bootloader/Rooted/xPosed.
I would really like to see a video(s) of any Xperia xposed modules intended to enhance/tweak the system and/or UI in any way shape or form.
As well as any non xperia modules that work as intended that you are finding useful.
This would be a great way for people to see what they are missing (and eventually look forward to achieving the same when an official root exploit comes to surface.)
Please illustrate the usage/functionality you gain from your installed and recommended xposed modules :thumbup:
Thanks in advance
I rooted mine and gravitybox hardly works at all. Many functions(mostly those which change how the phone looks) do not work, such as quick notification pulldown
I've already uninstalled it... now only hoping for a quick cyanogenmod support for z3c
GravityBox works great, except for a few functions which don't work because Sony replaced some AOSP functions with their own, namely the notification dropdown (there is also a module that reverts this, but it doesn't work and isn't maintained anymore) and lockscreen.
OK so gravity box is hit or miss by the sounds if it.
So what features from gravity box are actually working?
What other modules are you using.. And do they work?
Any decent xperia modules working?
Anymore experiences with xposed on z3c?
Is someone using Serajr xperia xposed?

I'm using that module, and most of it works. There are only a few things, such as enabling AOSP lockscreen, that don't work. Quick pulldown for quicksettings works like a charm!
I use the XBlast Module. Everything works perfect until now. It is kinda the same as GravityBox but with a little less functions. But most stuff i need are in it.

[Q] Camera and Flashlight Gesture Broken

Hi all, hoping you can help me fix my Moto X gestures. I have a Verizon XT1096 that is rooted via Mofo and upgraded to 5.1 using the image from @mikeoswego (v3.0 with xposed and adaway). In addition, I've recently followed the Extreme Battery Life guide here using Greenify, Amplify, and Power Nap and have seen a really nice improvement. However, somewhere along the way I've managed to break the gesture functionality. Neither the twist camera gesture nor the chop flashlight gesture work anymore. They were fine on Mike's image v2, which was also before I had installed Power Nap and implemented all the extra tweaks on Amplify (I was just limiting NLP/NLPcollector wakelocks previously).
I tried disabling Power Nap and Amplify separately via the Xposed framework - unchecked the boxes on the Xposed framework and rebooted in between. Neither made a difference.
It would help if I knew which apps/processes were in control of these gestures. I've whitelisted almost all of the Motorola apps but it didn't seem to make a difference. Hopefully someone can tell me where I went wrong.
Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give me!
Edit: I went into the Moto app and disabled/re-enabled the gestures and now they work again. I'll come back and let you know if that sticks or if they break again.
Edit 2: Broken again. If I manually launch the camera, it comes back, but then after a while it breaks again.

I have exact same issue, which I can live with vs the battery life! Thanks for enlightening me about the manual camera trick!I have a turbo & I am mofo'd running computerfreek274 's rooted lollipop 1.0c and had the gestures before I installed power nap, I have amplify as well but had it installed before powernap and if I remember right the actions worked fine...I'm not sure what it is but I am experienceing it as well. Still love power nap!!!!

Yes, moto actions is what controls the gestures.
Still not working for me unfortunately. I've had Moto actions whitelisted the whole time.

Aha! Figured it out. I had greenified the camera app.

What Xposed features will I miss out on if I 'upgrade' to a 7.x phone?

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.

[PORTING] [NEED HELP] [N] Gravitybox for Nougat Unofficial

outdated
go to here
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.
credits to @C3C076 creator of gravitybox
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

EdXposed and Gravitybox working on ROG phone 3?

As the title asks, does anyone know if EdXposed amd GravityBox are working on the ASUS ROG Phone 3? If they are working, are there any features that are known to cause problems and should not be used?
Thanks all and stay healthy!
Exposed should work fine (haven't tried it myself though).
I thought GravityBox was for Samsung devices only......?
You can also try SystemUI Tuner - a lot of its tweaks do work.
Hey, thanks for the response. As for GravityBox, as far as I know (I could certainly be wrong though) it's developer originally designed it for OnePlus phones due to OnePlus's willingness to give out it's android source code to make it easier for users to root it. Later on, the developer decided to add support for other phones as well.
As for SystemUI Tuner, I've never heard of it. Does it require root? (Im asking because obviously root allows far more customization and that is what I'm looking for.) I am a several year GravityBox user and I want to have at least most of the customization features from GravityBox if I am going to be using a different app/piece of software. For example, I would like to still have the feature such as being able to customize the number of rows and columns in quick settings, keeping the screen off when the charger is plugged in and unplugged, changing the carrier text (i.e. instead of "MyCarrier" you can put anything you want), having the network speed & date AND time in the status bar and changing the position of all of the items in the status bar, having right and left arrow keys in the NavBar when the keyboard is showing, amongst other things.
