Do you have to root and/or flash your Evo with a new ROM to get a white status bar? Or is there an app or something that can do that?
Thanks

You are talking about the AOSP bar. To get that you either need to flash a theme or be running Cyanogen. In both cases you must be rooted.
Thanks for your reply rafroehlich2.
Wow. This is not fun. My phone was backordered twice so I got it 2 weeks ago. It came with 2.2 on it and if I'm reading posts right, it seems that it is unrootable...at least for now. I have found all these apps and themes that I want to use but all require a rooted phone.
Ugh. Someones got to help.

With the large amount of talent searching for a root method its only a matter of time. Just keep track of the threads you like so when you get root you'll be able to flash. I wouldn't be surprised if within a month 2.2 is defeated...and that's on the high end.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way to get the cm-10 nav bar without having to root.
I've tried just about every launcher out there and none of them have that
Option. On my SG2 I run liquid smooth ROM and its in there and basically
Let's me program it any config option of the nav bar. I want this on my note2 but
Without having to root as I need to keep WiFi calling and other reasons.
Anyone have ideas how to get this working .
Thx

Wow.
1) root does not effect wifi calling
2) no way to get nav bar without root.
3) all those nav bar options are built in the rom, no rom has that here. Best you can do is add a line to your build.prop and get tbe regular nav bar like on stock nexus devices

Wow what?
Its not like we have kernal for CM-10 so there's no reason for me to root. If im going to root then its going to be for cm-10. All the other Roms look fine but dont offer enough for me root and flash even with most of them based off of tmobiles kernal. I just cant stand tw and None of the stock rooted roms have the nav bar. Been on cm since 6 days, one gets use to that after awhile.
I was just hoping there was a hack on a launcher that I might have missed. Nothing that deserves a "wow" from you.

Lol you do realize you can root with out flashing a ROM right? Like already stated you can root and add a line to your build prop to enable the stock nav bar, that's about as good as it gets right now.
Sigh,, yes I'm fully aware that
1) I can root and stay stock
2) I will keep my wifi calling if going this route
This wasnt what I asked. All I wanted to know was if there was a launcher out there that i missed that enabled the abilty to have the nav bar without having to root. Man I don't think I could have worded it any better. I just have no need to root until we have cm-10. Even the hack I posted in the other thread doesnt really give the option to customize the bar like I can with liquid. So unless a dev comes up with a way to do this before we have cm10 there's not much else to say
Since its not in a launcher.

Wait, let me understand you correctly. You want a feature that you had to use a rom to get before, but you dont want to root? Did you load a rom without rooting on your older phone? And wow... hows coming off like a jerk working out for you?

...I'm not exactly following either, but anyway can I get that navbar you were using before? Is it an app? or zip I can flash in recovery? I just bought my note 2 yesterday but am really missing my onscreen navbar from my Galaxy Nexus.
Look all i asked for was if there was a launcher that had this ability that I may have missed. Pretty simple right? instead I get a "smart ass wow" etc about rooting etc and wifi calling. It wasnt what I asked and I tried to make it even more clear that until we get a kernal with cm10 that for me its not worth rooting cause none of the current roms have the nav bar.
I already know how to root, I know what roms support wifi calling etc, and I know that just rooting my note2 isnt going to kill my wifi calling. None of This was what I was asking. And I didnt need a smart ass wow comment on such a simple question. New launcher updates come out all the time so I reached out to my fellow xda'ers to see if there was such a option that I missed. Instead I get talked down to like a little boy and that is most differently not going to fly.
Maybe if you were on my end of the sleeve you would understand.
I'm No dev thats for sure, its not my skill set but I have been flashing since the G1 and HD2 days. I help out the devs via giving them a free place to host their roms that are high traffic or a guy thats just starting out for free. Then donate fare amounts to the ones of the roms I use. This is the way I help out here because those are the resources I have at hand.
If I came into your thread that you asked a simple question and was like "Wow your a moron" you would get alittle left of center as well.

Ok ill break it down for you. The reason I said wow is your original post sounded like you were wanting everything, did no research, and wanted to have others give you what you wanted on a silver platter. You asked about not rooting due to "keep wifi calling and other" reasons. Basically you sounded like a noob who expects devs to do the impossible/incredibly difficulty (in this case launcher devs) while it is certanly possible to do similar to what you want (think button savior) it is not something that would work well without root due to android permissions for certain button actions. If you would tell us why you are afraid of rooting that might help us help you also, since you now claim its not because of wifi calling.
So for onscreen buttons check out button savior, not exactly what you want but it is onscreen buttons.

Lol at this thread. I dont know if you figured it out yet, but here's the skinny. Nav bar, or softkeys is an android os feature, not a launcher feature. As far as I know, there isn't a way to install cm10 without root (at least, it doesnt install without root). P.S. We may never see an official cm10 kernal for Note 2 beause the cm team says that the Note 2 sources are crap and that they are being properly supported, it would take them too long to sift through it all. Now there is a way to enable the softkeys on the original rom, but it requires root, and the softkeys suck compared to cm10's nav bar. I'm currently runng PAndroid (a cm10 based rom) with nav bar and hardware keys disabled. I hope that helps.
And casperi, it sounds like we both got into this scene at the same time. I started off with my G1 when it first came out, then moved on to the HD2 years later. The difference is that I searched for that question before opening a new thread. And not only in T-mo Note 2 forums, but AT&T and across google as well. There are now a few different threads for what you are looking for.
Reiterating what others have said, unless it's an "artificial" navbar that the launcher or an app creates, it won't work without root.
If/when you decide to root, that line of code you add to your build.prop is:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
I've added it to my TW rom (jedix8), cuz it's convenient on this big phone to have access to a back button on both sides.
I just got the LG G3 and love it. The phone is awesome, but theres just not enough reason for me to root at the moment. I know its new but I'll wait for more roms and other features to come out. I would like more themes. I really don't want to DL a launcher. I used Themer but apparently it gives me some kind of not compatible because of the resolution, something like.
I thought the same thing, but ended up rooting my G3 anyway.
Small tweaks using G3 tweakbox were worth it, such as removing carrier IQ on lockscreen, adding dedicated menu buttons on the nav bar,
showing ram availability in recent apps menu, etc.

to each their own but I have never owned a phone and not take root. Just being able to freeze/uninstall unwanted apps, freezing updates and doing minor tweaks is enough reason besides loading custom recoveries and roms.
Takes time so I don't understand why even make the thread?
I root it solely for fixing memory card problem.

This. I will say that I was happy without root until the microlag got to me. The force close of my google services was the last straw. I now have no lag on my device and have made it much better imo with the tweaks mentioned earlier in this thread. I really wish we had an AOSP rom for it though.
SD card issue, g3 tweakbox, viper4android, xposed.
That hsould be enough for you to root

G3 tweakbox is awesome app, I did the paid version.... (also needs xposed framework to run), I guess i need to research whats goin on with SD card...I assume to be the ext-sd card. Not sure about viper4andriod....I D/L'd and asked about updating drivers and choices were not very intuitive. I'm happy to a have TWRP and TiBu up and running as well.
having a choice of root or not....really is a no-brainer if you want to do any thing to your smart phone, otherwise why have it?
There's a thread for everything, so I figure I make one to see if there are others on the same boat. Yes, I would love to root my phone but I'm going to wait for a bit. I would love to see more developers working on more roms to get that "wow" effect. I've always root as soon as I get a phone but I usually get a phone thats been out for a while and to see tons of roms. This is my first phone that I ever had thats only been released in only a week. So I'm excited to see what comes out from these developers.
I personally like to root right away for the simple fact if I screw up I'm still within the 14 day return policy

Don't know what AC stands for. Thats why I put this thread in the General section.
I also feel like there is no real need to root. For me, anyway. I rooted my s4 asap but for this one I finally feel like I don't have to root to enjoy it. Frankly I'm just not as interested in flashing **** like I used to.

Rooting and freezing a lot of apps made my phone noticeably faster and last longer on a charge. So it's definitely worth it.

Lg g3 d850
I've got a bump'd G3 on twrp, what's it gonna take to get this D851 rom to work on my D850? If I were to flash it as is, would it run fine? Any risks? I remember almost bricking a note 2 a year or two ago having accidentally flashed a GS3 rom but it came out okay.
As is it wouldn't work. I know the model needs changed in the build and something else I'm forgetting... Best option is to wait for the dev to get it where he is happy with it then it will prolly start being ported to other devices. They had a port running for the d855 somewhere
Does anyone else have a problem when trying to download ANYThiNG any apk what so ever?
like 1/5 of things i try to download work. Not limited to downoading the google app store
Why am i having so many problems with this rom!!! GRRRR
Hey guys I have the D855 version and I was thinking if I could install this ROM on it and boot via fastboot.
No you cannot install this ROM as it's only built for the D851. I have a feeling there won't be any work on a port by the developer simply because he has stated he has plans to work on Lollipop; that's one reason why the last update was almost a month ago.

Try reflashing and using a different gapps. No one thus far has mentioned keyboard issues. You could also try downloading swiftkey from the playstore. Its a free keyboard app

I am starting to do my research since i'm looking for a newer budget phone.. This Moto Z Play seems to be a great phone for my needs / wants.
I am getting confused because I know there is a Droid (verizon) version and an International version. Specifically when it relates to ROOT.
Does anyone know if XDA will split this forum into a Verizon and International Version? (I see this on most other phones / variants)
Thank you.
There is no reason for xda to split the international vs the droid version. The droid version will never get an official bootloader unlock and likely will not get an unofficial bootloader unlock. The only way to root the droid version is to use the dirty cow exploit which works on both versions. In the unlikely event that the droid version gets a bootloader unlock and rom support, roms may support both devices due to the hardware being the same aside from the radios. Even if they didnt it would be easy to tell which is which because devs would put [XT1635-01] for the droid version and [XT1635-02] for the international.

perhaps.. I just get picky using my physical buttons all of the time. So I enjoyed either custom ROMs that had power menu button, screen shot, and sleep all baked in. Or use xposed to get those features using gravity box.

If you use a 3rd party file explorer you can use your own sounds, it should give you an option when you try to change your notification or ringtone. You should be able to also add custom ringtones and notification sounds to the Ringtones and Notifications folders in /storage/emulated/0/ and it should show up in the regular menu. You can kinda get rid of bloatware by disabling it in app info, some apps wont let you disable them though (like google play services). I'm still on stock and have disabled all google services (except google play services which i denied all permissions to) and put on a 3rd party launcher.
