What's the best way to get Android L navigation bar on stock rom? - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if anybody knows what's the best way to get the Android L navigation bar on the stock ROM. I really like some of the additions that LG put in the stock room but I want the android vanilla experience. Can someone steer me in the right direction launcher, xposed module or icons? I'm using G2 xposed module and nova launcher with moonshine icons pak already.

AFAIK there is an xposed module for changing the icons. Did you search in the module repository? And I think the g2 module has option to return the stock behavior for the right button. Not sure about that though.

Simple! Neither root nor flashing is required! Just install as normal apk: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567713448
from this lg g2 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791549
Browse g3 android l icons for more options like white color with gradation!
When finished installing the apk, go to settings, display, front touch buttons, colour and you'll see a colour/option called android l black! Choose it and you're done, but this won't work on the homescreen! If you want on homescreen as well you'll have to flash the zip!
Also, there are lots of other NavBar themes from the lg g2 theme section on xda which are all compatible on our g pad v500, so go there for more options! But most come with gradation compared to the one I mentioned!

There are a lot of alternatives in the G2 themes section with all types of icons like football teams! I think AyDee has some good ones, but most Android L navbar that I've downloaded are not flat and have gradation which I don't like!
There is one in G2 theme section from someone called Vishnu11: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/lg-home-sgs5-t2937155
But here you'll need to download an apk which contains wallpapers, icons and navbar customizations and you change the NavBar the same way as before! They're the only ones which I found great and it has the square icon menu, but weighs about 10+mb!
Hit thanks button if I helped!

[KK 4.4.1][CM11][XPOSED] Floating Apps like Qslide.

Greetings and good vibes to all readers! Here I bring you a simple configuration to have a launcher for floating applications in notifications drawer like the QSLIDE option of the Optimus series!
This works for ANDROID 4.4.1 KITKAT CM11 but should work in earlier versions that supports xposed framework, XHaloFloatingWindow, Halo Shortcut Creator and Notification Shortcuts.
Well let's start
Which is what you need:
A rom that supports Xposed Framework, XHaloFloatingWindows
Xposed Framwork installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
XHaloFloatingWindow Module Installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419287)
Halo Shortcut Creator App installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554118)
Notifications Shortcuts App Installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=es)
After you have installed all apps, modules and other things, take the following steps of the video, and enjoy!
if someone could tell me about some shortcuts application in the notification drawer of that do not show the annoying icon (or hide it with transparent icon) and remaining free space icon(like google now notification or SRC Recorder notification!), please publish it here​
Thanks to:
Xposed module, XHaloFloatingWindow, Halo Shortcut Creator, and Notification Shortcuts user, dev, team and members
I've been using this module for a while, and I've got to say that it is incredible! The occasional problems I come across are understandable, and every update makes it better and better. The only thing that bothers me is that I always end up moving the windows around when I want to press something in the action bar. I think it would be nice if we could move the window with the quadrant instead. Anyway, keep up the good work! :good:

thanks! well you should make a request in the XHaloFloatingWindow thread to see if the developer wants to implement your idea good luck!
Yeah, sorry, I posted in the wrong thread Nice tutorial btw, I never would have guessed that the "bookmarks" button would let me make shortcuts to stuff other than bookmarks.

You can also use with glove box or several floating button app instead of notifications shortcuts app. then you can launch apps without having to pull notification bar all the way down big plus if using for messaging while watching video.

How can I get Sense to look like GPE?

See, I converted to GPE due to I love the way stock android looks over sense, but I came back to sense due to me liking the camera, h/k and blinkfeed. Does anyone know how to change all the status bar icons to AOSP icons and change the sense soft keys to AOSP's? Also the lock screen as well? I know it is asking a lot but I would appreciate it a ton. Thank you

Install InsertCoin and you can change the icon to AOSP in InsertCoin Kontrol and also change the lockscreen to stock. As for the navigation bar, there might be a theme in the InsertCoin market.

I want to get my status bar enabled but i don't know how to work that module in xposed. I have enabled xposed module and downloaded Xposed statusBar Sense. I downloaded the zip and applied it but nothing changed. I am running Viper Rom, could that have anything to do with it?

1. Download the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip icon pack and place XSBM folder on the root of your internal sd card.
2. Launch the Xposed StatusBar Mods module and select "Icon Settings"
3. Check the boxes beside Framework, 3rd-Party Apps, Battery, Etc.., all the way down.
4. Set the "Icon Scaling" to 70px
5. Select "Select Iconpack to Import" and then select the dr8_whiteaosp_kk_sense6.xsbm.zip file you put in the XSBM folder.
6. Back out until you get the option to Apply Changes
Note: There was an issue on XSBM v2.3.2. I'm currently using v2.3.1

[App] WizIconizer change icon shorcut on edge panel

Hi,
Like many of us i have move to nova launcher with a set of custom icon.
So i was looking for a trick to get the same icon on the edge panel to match with the homescreen.
Sabeersas member have done an app WizIconizer which let you replace your icon easily of touchwiz launcher and side effect the icon on the edge panel of our note.

You mean this?
Yes
Works for me. I like it.
Galaxy icon themer also works. On play store by xperiacle. You need to reboot though for the change to take place in the edge. Main homescreen happens immediately.
Unicon works just fine... just reboot and it will apply to the system.
Edit: Now that 5.0.1 is out and we dont have xposed, I gave this app a try amd it is confirmed working on Lollipop!! XD
Thank you OP!!

Thank you
You can use galaxy icons themer. Amazing app of xperiacle
Thanks, none of the other apps had worked for me. I have Lollipop BTW.
I'm on a Hyperdrive ROM 4.4.4 and all my icons for the edge screen will not change. Any ideas?
icon pack used in pic ??
was hoping you can share with me what icon pack was used in the screen capture of the pic you posted for the example in initial post. i really like the clean look without the square borders that all other icon packs seem to have. iv searched high & low for a similar pack but with no luck. if you could share this exact icon pack name i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance,

Nexus 5X: Can I Customize The NavBar?

I really want to customize Navi Bar Buttons...
like LG G serise.. Back Home Recent Noti button.. below shape...
◁ ○ □ ↓
please..
layers... Layers
Layers is where its at check out this screen shot
I'm pretty sure you will have to root your phone for something like that.
If you're rooted there is the Xposed module Xstana. That's what I'm using
as others have mentioned root and then you have a couple of options either through xposed mentioned above or roms that have options to modify nav bar, currently using ubermallow which supports nav modifications

I have a few different ones in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/navigation-swap-t3243942

THEMES, Overlays and Such

In light of the fact there's no real root I figured I must DO something to this phone! I MUST make it different than Samsung intended. I was going thru withdrawal. Really. I got to messing around with different Samsung themes (black is Always Right and all of that developers dark themes are pretty dope..btw); but I found in the process many of the s8 unrooted mods usually work. Do some research but I've personally used better nav colors, remove lock text, remove lock carrier name, more precise animation scale, transparent qs, different nav buttons etc. And they are mostly apks, so no struggle. At all. Overlay apks also work too.
Not taking credit for any of this and props to the developer/s. I'm just sharing. Here's a link to one of the best list I've found.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657119
Even though it's a substratum thread the mods work without it. I tried substratum but it didn't play nice with my phone. Look for s8 threads in theme section by tigerhood and also clck. Most of their apks work on our phone.
Anyway maybe this is common knowledge but i couldn't find it anywhere else on the board so don't roast me if its nothing special. Lol
Thanks for this link, I have been looking and waiting for a long time for a way to hide the clock and battery icon in the status bar and this mod worked perfectly.

Lots of options for nav bar.
Here is a list of nav bar layers plus many more.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
With substratum you have lots of choices too.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ami.vividiconset
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
Most of these work. Check the links at the bottom too. I can't remember where I got my nav shown in the picture but I've had no issues with any. Only ones seems not to work are those that try to adjust the nav bar height. It doesn't break anything you just don't see any change in the size.
Other than that you have to reinstall all your overlays again if you change your theme.
Nav bar shown apk below. Works 100%
Again, I take no credit for these and props to the developer/s.
The closest I can get to all black UI is by using Mini Black Edition V2 from the Samsung theme store and Swift Black overlays. I still have white pull down notifications and white nav bar when the keyboard is shown.
Is there a way to black out the pull down notifications and nav bar while the keyboard is shown ?
There's an apk around on one of the links I posted or somewhere else, I can't remember, with an overlay that gives you a black notification panel. It looks really nice, but you can't see the text on notifications very well.
For the black nav bar use the following by Draco.
Edit: first post on this link is the best list I've found. I've tried many of them and they work just fine. Props to the developers and the member who pulled them all together in one place.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
Looks good don't it? All courtesy of the links posted. Honestly with these mods, there's really no need for root. So until we get full root this is the set up.
Thank you for this post!

Use any of the ones that are system ui black notification. It should say that or something like that when you install. Then install the custom grey/ black notification. Or use any of the grey notification only ones and then the custom grey/ black
