hello. I would like to use TWRP to flash HC until someone comes out with a way to hide the status bar in ICS. How would I go about doing this without any problems. I have twrp recovery working correctly now so can I just use a decoded HC rom?
Gesture control lite will allow you to hide the system bar in ICS with root.

Thx dude it works pretty good!
Ya, it works good for me too (for gaming and vids). It does have a bug, every few times, with the wallpaper defaulting or disappearing which can me fixed by installing "simple wallpaper" It was recommended by the dev on the market page.
Hi guys, very quick question...
I've used the chainfire method to root my phone.. everything is left standard and it hasn't got the custom recovery installed.
This morning my notification bar came downloaded a new software update.
Is it safe to install? If I do, will I lose root / be able to re-install it?
I was well impressed that I could root it without adding to the triangle count, but I do wish I could add other features like more icons in the quick access settings in the notifications bar... Can I install that now, or do I need a custom rom?
Cheers.
Andy

Hi Andy. Well its ALWAYS recommended to make a nandroid backup before you flash a new rom and in your case before you apply a download to your system. Im unsure what the update is (prob something minor) as the N2 has jelly bean and 4.2 wont be out for a while but it could potentially unroot your phone.
Who cares if it does. Just root it again.
As for settings in notification bar you will need a custom rom. Theres no shortage to choose from, Have fun
Hey people,
How would I go about installing the XPOSED FRAMEWORK on my Sony Xperia M? I am on 4.3 15.4.A.9 or whatever it is. I have Titanium Backup Pro, have backed up. My boot loader is locked. I really can't afford for the device to brick/bootloop. Does anyone have a successful way? Because I want to tweak my System Bar as well...
Any help would be appreciated.

I've never had and problem with installing Xposed as you should do.
1) Install the Xposed .apk
2) Open Xposed and tap Framework
3) Make sure Installation Mode is on Classical (change it if it isn't)
4) Tap Install/Update, let the framework install.
5) Reboot
Latest version of xposed framework.
Hi. This actually is my first post, so Yay.
I rooted my phone using adb fastboot thing and I installed xposed. And now, I don't know what I've done, but I'm not able to install any module. In fact, no apks either.. Any help appreciated!

Reflash the stock firmware, and root again, according to your bootloader status.

Never happened to me before. All I did (locked bootloader) is to have full root, install Xposed Installer, install the framework, reboot, install any module, then activate and reboot. Never had any issues.

Change of plans ;P
I actually want to flash a custom rom, but I'm not able to decide, because of the large variety.. Please give me some links, guys? I'm sorry for troubling you; I feel like a pain in the neck..
EDIT : if what I just said was absolutely irrelevant to the topic, please shoot me :\

Hey man,I don't think you need a custom rom,I've done everything I want without downloading a custom rom,however before doing anything make sure you have full root (the ability to edit system files not just view them), if you don't have full root anything you do will get your phone to reboot and fc,,
First of all I have cwm,deodoxed rom,unlocked bl but I mainly use them.to install mods like the m2 systemui but I think there's a way for locked bootloader and odexed by using flash gordon or something like that (the method is explained in the mod's thread).
Moreover is this my phones systemui, I've installed xposed without any problems
1. Download xposed installer
2. Pressed classic install
3. Rebooted my phone
4. Download 4 main mods
A. Gem xperia xposed
Using it for: the transparent status and navigation bar, the menu mod, the extra hidden apps button, the kitkat thing when you open an app and the navigation and status bar gets shaddy
B. Tinted status bar
C. Advanced power menu
To add a reboot button
D. Im really sorry I've forgotten its name but it's used for changing the navigation bar icons but I Uninstalled it for a simple reason, in stock xperia icons in opera mini a 4th button is added and it's hidden in other apps, but while using this mod I had to show the 4th (menu) button all the time
Ps: I dont reboot after modding systemui or luncher I simply restart it
If you like what I've done ill post the method for using gem xperia and tinted status bar
Sorry I forgot to attach these Images, this is the final result
If I helped you don't forget to press the thanks button
Thanks, all of you! I'll try redoing this after my exams...

Well, I fixed it. Recovery-reset my phone. My thanks to all of you! How did you colour the statbar and navbar like the app colour?

thx
Ok guys, thanks for all your help. Now i am just worried about a soft brick or bootloop. If this happens, ho would I rocover from thats WITHOUT losing any data? Because I really can't break it, it's too expensive.

Before doing anything
-download the ftf file of the latest software for your phone
-install flashtool and drivers.
-Enable USB debugging and
-backup your phone (a normal backup no need for root apps and all that stuff)
-Learn how to flash an ftf
If you have an unlocked bootloader all you need is cwm and a nandroid backup and of course flashtool in case anything got wrong and you messed the kernel
Don't worry, I bricked my phone many times
Okay guys, I realised what the problem was. I was using a Screen Filter, so I wasn't able to install anything. In case anyone else comes with this problem, make sure you pause the filter or blacklist the package installer (most filter apps do this on their own; mine apparently didn't :\).

Since update to Lollipop we need to perform two actions (if you use any security lock) to get to your homescreen:
1. swype up
2. enter pattern or pin
In KitKat there was an option to bypass the first screen and wake up the phone direct to the pattern/pin screen.
With Lollipop this option is gone.
Does anyone found an option, a patch or exposed module to bypass the first (notification) screen or can give me a hint how to do so?
I am s-off, rooted and have exposed working with sense toolbox.
Thanks for any hint / advice.
Regards,
Umqi
Gravitybox (xposed module) can do this. It's under lockscreen tweaks, then Direct unlock.

Thanks,
but Gravitybox ist only for AOSP and GPE ROMs, I forgot to say that I am on ARHD 45 which is a close to stock Sense ROM so I'm afraid to try
Reboot in TWRP, make a backup, try it, if it bootloops or breaks bad, restore the backup. I just moved to the GPE MM rom and installed Gravitybox and made all the tweaks that bl*ssr*m gave me. You might be surprised!

Did my NAND, installed, aktivated module, rebooted and tried.
The tweaks I would need in GravityTB are not working. I can change the color of the Blutooth Icon, so I can say installation is ok.
Problem not solved jet....
