Now that more of use are getting unlocked I'm hoping that we can get the xposed framework!! I've tried it from other carriers and it won't work.
I really just want to change my icon colors.

You need to have root and /system needs to not be WP. I think this means you either need a kernel that does not have WP or a custom rom. Xposed is not phone/carrier specific.

Is it possible to create a theme even if yur not rooted...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
No. In order to use a flashable theme, you have to have a deodexed rom and a recovery. In order to have a custom recovery or deodexed rom, you have to be rooted. You can customize your phone with a common "theme", but not the way rooted phones do by changing the framework and system apps.

There's a few small tweaks you can make as a non-rooted user. You can install Launcher Pro or ADW launcher and then you can theme it without being rooted, but that's about it. The big stuff though (notification bar, apps, HTC's flip clock, etc) does require root.
Anybody here successfully decompiled and recompiled SystemUI.apk? I thought I had managed it with APK multi-tool, but it force closed when opening the notification bar...
I tried doing this also, so I could get rid of the AT&T in the notification bar in the ICS leak ROMS, but I couldn't figure it out, either.
I don't think anyone's successfully done it yet. My bet is on dman getting it done first though.

as dman works on aosp version of ics as main part of the source most likely he wont have to change the SystemUI.apk at all - pure vanilla, most likely.
I'm on it right now. I've recompiled and compiled successfully. Current project is clock color but adding date and changing notification back ground are on my list. Unfortunately just so busy

I was able to decompile and recompile successfully too, but I got a FC when I tried to actually use it. Any insight would be helpful. Besides carrier label removal, there's a few other mods I'd like to implement. I was able to swap out the .pngs for the notification bar, but despite adding a full set of battery icons the only ones it uses are the ones corresponding to the stock battery icons, and they are fairly odd (71%? Really?) The ROM already supports 1% battery levels so it should be fairly easy to use the pngs for them, if I could recompile the apk successfully.

I'm really anticipating someone getting rid of that AT&T logo. I'm slightly OCD, and it's really bugging me.

So long as there's still a data-roaming notification, I'm cool with that... AT&T Service blows in my area, am constantly getting shuffed off to T-Mobile network (and further data charges)
if you want to look at the SystemUI.apk in NardROM 0.4 I finally managed to compile a working version with 1% battery icons, no carrier label, and no text on the quick setting toggles. Adding logic to only display roaming carrier labels would be a bit harder.
Also if you want to swap out the icons, it's really easy. Just rename the .apk and .zip and change them out and rezip. Icon changes don't require recompiling.

There is a guide here on how to decompile and recompile SystemUI that actually works .... if anyones interested

I am REALLY struggling with this. I have installed a bunch of different SMS apps but prefer stock (use clipboard, LED function....) Any suggestions how I can do this? Turning the system font size down doesn't change my messaging conversation font. I would prefer to use the default sms app with the Note 2, but is there any way I can make the font smaller than what the volume keys allow me to do?
Even all the way down the messages are huge (I can only see 2-3 with the keyboard open) and like 8 without it open. For privacy reasons I'd also like it smaller so everyone around me can't read all my messages while it's open...
Try the app settings app in the xposed thread you can set the dpi or font to anything you want in any app

Never mind, I think I figured out that I would have to... hmmm may be the reason I root. That could be a slippery slope though

You need to be rooted to install the app but once the xposed installer is installed you can unroot and all the modules will still work. The per app dpi is well worth rooting for, you can have a lot of apps in tablet mode

Damn it. I honestly believed clicking on that would send me to a treasure chest of dark themes. Still laughed though.

Update...I loaded in my new LGphone.apk, it looked like crap, but after some research, I know why and how to fix it, going to work on it until it is right.

Hi, any updates on this?
I dropped it due to all the ROMs have this available.

Get rom toolbox. Its loaded with themes and most if not all have links to the play store.

i dnt think rom toolbox will give what u need..those themes are only for custom/aosp roms.
try gravity box,cant confirm but i knw theres a setting there to turn ur UI to dark/holo
I like dark themes too, and the easiest way to get them is by installing the custom rom that comes with the theme chooser. You can also try xpose mod and unicon app.
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you want dark themes. Either get an aosp ROM or you can use bountymans G3 ROM. Go to the G2 forums/ themes and apps, choose some themes for LG home they install like normal apk. On home screen press menu and select a theme.
Or you can use HK theme manager, Xposed theme manager.

Hi,
Just picked up the device today and I've rooted it and installed Xposed and managed to get it as close to AOSP as I can.
I was wondering what's the safest way to change the DPI is and if there's anyway to get the Android L status bar icons (battery, signal, WiFi, silent etc) and navigation bar onto the stock ROM?
I'd normally do a backup and dive into these things but I haven't got a custom recovery installed (as I can't seem to find any) so I figured I'd ask!
I was also wondering if I'm fine to update my device via OTA even though its rooted?
Thanks
Curtis
Textdroider for dpi has been the best for me. And I got the Android L nav bar by looking though the downloadable modules in xposed + changing the pressed colour in tweaksbox looks pretty close to Android L
