Most of us know about cyanogen mod ROMs and to be honest. They beat the band
But the procedure of flashing a custom ROM is sometimes dreadful
So I would like to share about a few Xposed framework modules which can help you transform into 5.0 here and now
Prerequisites----
Xposed installer
Flat style colored bars (pro)
Flat style notification bars (pro)
Monster UI
Download the following and enable them and reboot device
Open flat style colored bars and edit our status bar icons as per to your liking... I would prefer to edit them into the latest marshmallow or lollipop style
Open flat style status bars and tap status bar option
And choose lollipop in the overlay style dropbox
I would recommend you to discover the many uses of Monster UI yourself... Its a fun module and enables a hell lot of customization :laugh:

What addons are best for AOSP roms? either through xposed or anything else? i was just wondering
i guess you already know it, so normally i wouldnt write anything, but hey....i have time^^
LMT Launcher (better than pie control, handle area more custamizable and so on)
xposed lockscreen wallpaper (working see through, white or black tinting)
xblast (if you like theming) -or- gravitybox if you like more quicksettings and dont like to theme your system (for example more light)
tinted statusbar (must have, it already can use kitkat style statusbar in apps, which are compatible, for example shuttle music player+)
xposed appsettings (dpi changes, force immersive mode)
i prefer xblast, because i dont need all that quicksettings options from gravitybox...my screenshots, some more light themed, new notification area style, and tinted statusbar working in my music player with kitkat style statusbar
lmt launcher+hide navbar with build.prop line (more comfortable to handle and fullscreen, nothing beat more screen)
complete action plus (also quiet useful)
thats from me, for you^^

Thanks mate..appreciate the response!
Any roms have the transparent pull down notification status bar. I am not a fan of the black... Even custom pic would work

If you are rooted and have Exposed installed, you can always use the module : Serajr Blurred System UI. It will allow you to change some of the vaules for the SystemUI.apk and the pull down.
Hello,
on my Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet I now have Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Which is running great; this also applies to Xposed.
But I absolutely don't like the changing status bar color, which makes feel the OS a bit kindergarten-like (Windows XP, anyone?).
Is there any Xposed module or other app (or system file modification) with which I can make the status bar permanently black?
Any hint is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Best Wishes,
Hasenbein
Status bar
Have you tried flat style status bar ?
The default blue status bar is extreme ugly...
Yes, that blue is hideous...
Flat style status bar helped (after pulling out my purse for Pro version...), thank you very much!
If you are using Xposed you could try my app NotifyClean. I just added there an option to revert this "blue". It's then AOSP behavious, means all apps could change the color as they like or black if not implemented / before Lollipop compiled
Great, man! Thank you!
Just one thing: On my device the "notifications always expanded" option in your app doesn't work at all. (Yes, I did restart ) Although this is not a problem, because there's the Xposed module "All notifications expanded".
@hasenbein1966: I tested with Z2 Tablet SGP521 + the "baltic" Android 5.0 rom hier from xda. This works without problems. Maybe another module prevented it which hooks also there? If the module is enabled, for this option only a restart of the app is needed (in settings for the apps, there is a menu item to restart)
For anyone who isn't overly crazy with the Material Style of Lollipop here is a confirmed working way to jazz up your notifications.
As long as your rooted you can install the Xposed Framework, then find a module called "Flat Style Bar Indicators".
See the attached screenshot, even with the free version you can change the colour, style, and order of the: network, wifi, clock & battery.
The paid version adds more options to the above.
For some silly reason, all I want is for my status bar icons to have the more stock android look (see attached). I am on a 5.0.2 att deodexed ROM (hence no xposed). I've tried a layers app in the playstore to no avail. Modding the systemui is above my abilities. Does anyone have any insight to making this look?
