Hi Everyone
Sorry if this question has been asked before but Is there any kind of like universal app that gives you some decent rom customization options.
In the past alot of the roms I have used (2 I can think of off the top of my head are Superman rom and Omega rom)
have come with a really nice simple sister app for the rom that give you a load of options to change little things like notification bar icon colours, quick tiles colours, battery icon etc.
But most of the s9 roms don't seem to include anything like it, I have tried substratum, a theme creator app and swift installer but they all just seem like a ball ache and nothing comes out looking good compared to how easy I could customize my s7 edge with the included superman rom settings app.
Anyway I'm using SoLdier rom at the moment i love the rom but just wish it had a handy little app with some sertings to olay with too, I did look at Crdroid as I think that has an app to go with it but I'm worried I'm going to loose my Samsung experience and iris scanner functionality if I install Crdroid instead.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers ?
Well I know you can get most of the customizing features from Xposed. Most of the extra features from Superman rom and Resurrection remix are all features you can get from xposed apps like GravityBox and flatstyle bar indicators.

But thanks for your input ?

Status bar transparency is the latest Android craze. Many people want it but aren't sure where to get it. This guide is here to help you find ROM's that have the transparent status bar mod enabled out of the box.
(If I've missed any ROM's that include transparency please don't hessitate to let me know in this thread and I'll add it to the first post. I am trying to build a complete list. If I leave a ROM off it's just an oversite or I didn't realize the missing ROM had the feature)
Touch Wiz ROM's
All TouchWiz ROM's should have status bar transparency as the stock ROM includes is all all variants of TW ROMs are based on the stock ROMs. (I never use TW ROMs so I can't verify this. If it's wrong please let me know)
Should you find a TW ROM that doesn't include transparency options, akapaul26 has a mod for so you can try to add it yourself. Click here.
AOSP ROM's
All Android 4.2 based ROMs should theoretically be able to add status bar transparency by using the XPosed Framework and TweakBox mods found here. Make a nandroid backup first then give it a try. I've tried it on multiple devices with mixed results. When I did get it to work the status bar is ALWAYS transparent, not just on the home screen. So this might not be the ideal option for some, and it might be the greatest thing in the world for others. It all depends on your use.
This does not work on Android 4.3 ROMs just yet though as the XPosed framework isn't compatible yet.
The following AOSP based ROMs have status bar transparency preinstalled and ready to go. (I haven't tried every one of these. So If I say one has it and it doesn't let me know. )
- Paranoid Android
- Carbon ROM
- PACman ROM
- Liquid Smooth
- Slim Bean
- BeanStalk
- AOKP
- JellyBro??? (I'm not sure about this one. The developer was talking about it very briefly last month but I don't know if the transparency was every actually added. Can someone let me know?)
- CyanogenMod ROM's do NOT have transparency built in. However there are a bunch of CM kangs floating around. Some of them may have added transparency options but I'm not aware of any.
I have Xposed working on CM10.2. I haven't tried the Tweakbox module, though. I'll give it a shot and report back.
SystemUI kept force closing after applying transparency in Tweakbox on CM10.2.
Xposed modules are kind of hit or miss since 4.3 isn't fully supported yet. The Greenify (donate) module works flawlessly.
For any ROM, it's a very simple XML edit inside systemui.apk. heck you can even make it any color you want!

Yeah I know. But this guide was more aimed at people looking for transparent functionality out of the box.
Remember, even on xda with all the modders we have here, editing an apk is above the heads of most people. The vast majority of people here, even root users, are just flashing what is pre compiled. And there is nothing wrong with that! That's how we all started!
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Just remember to enable it depending on the launcher. Nova, for example, needs to have it enabled in the settings before it takes affect regardless of the other settings. That said, 3minit roms make changing the transparency very, very simple.

This is all true information, but it applies to TouchWiz roms exclusively.
3minit is only on TW to my knowledge (please correct me if Im wrong)
And for AOSP roms that have transparency options built it it will force launchers like Apex and Nova to have transparency and you not only do not have to activate it in the launcher settings but you cannot activate it in the launcher settings. Those launchers only give the transparency options if they are installed on a TouchWiz rom. On aosp roms that option is deleted from the launcher settings.
The launchers search for the transparency options built into TouchWiz, which does it differently than aosp roms. So when the launcher doesn't find the TouchWiz transparency files it removes the transparency option from the settings menu.

I'm combing the forums and not really finding what I'm looking for. I have the N7 2013 and while I'm using Nova Launcher, I'm content with the experience except for the very very basic quick pull down tiles. I also have a Nexus phone with a CM based ROM on it. I really don't NEED or want an everything plus the kitchen sink rom. I really just want to add/change quick tiles in the pull down menu.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I really don't want to install a ROM with options I have no interest in using on the tablet. Just looking for a simple rom with customizable quick tiles. I'm rooted so is there even a mod that will just do that?
Sorry if this has been asked. I've been looking and not finding exactly what I'm asking about.

GravityBox with Xposed Framework will do that. Xposed only works with dalvik, not art.

That was what I ended up doing. It gave my 99% of what I needed and was simple.
Thanks!
Are there any TW roms that have an app themer like CM13? Or is there an app that works like this for TW?
I really liked that feature in CM13 and never noticed it any where for TW.
Thanks.
depends on how much you need colored
Xposed/Wanam is mainly the goto to get different colors in pulldown and more
and far as native change like stock feel you would need to look at the Note 5 Port because they actually have a theme store something similar to CM theme situation

Thanks, i know xposed is a big way to do all kinds of stuff to your phone. But i haven't spent much time with it. I'm gonna have to start tinkering with it. I even have it stored on my sd card, just haven't made the time. :good:
I'll preface this by saying I'm a long time lurker and I'm not an android noob by any means. I've had dozens of different ROMS on my Note 4 but only the stock ROM has the stylus functionality that I love oh so much.
So I'm running stock samsung Android 6.0.1 and I'm using a bunch of Xposed modules to get the features that a custom ROM offers back. I've gotten rid of the s-finder thing but I am having no luck with a full statusbar/notification replacement. I hate TouchWiz in that aspect so maybe you wizards can help me.
Is there a workaround to replacing the statusbar with a stock/ASOP statusbar?
I found an Xposed module, "Android N-ify" that gives me the notification look, but it completely breaks the statusbar
I have the same problem because the stock samsung status bar doesn't cover the whole screen but the notifications used in android N- ify do
Hello all,
As with pretty much all my devices I've always modded them from the box, only device I didn't was my corporate iPhone (although not through lack of trying : ) )
Anyway, i thought i'd make a thread showcasing my Rom set up and the mods i've chosen, no matter what device I have I always grab most of these mods if available and try to perfect the look I've had for years gone by, as I'm sure many of you do also.
Please feel free to share your home screen and the mods you have installed.
Here is my little lot, video below.
ROM
Venom Rom (Currently version 3.5.0 @ j to the 4n
Mods and Launcher
Launcher - Pixel Launcher with Dark elements and transparency, flashable zip - Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5GXDOETwYGySm5vRjBDcGtjZkk
Xposed Mods
Screen off animation - Several choices, also allows screen on animations
XUI MOD - Complete control of all animations - One in video is wave left.
Unique controls - This is essentially Halo from Paranoid android, superb floating heads up display and floating window.
Flat Style Bar Indicators - Allows total control of the status bar and positions as well as a tonne of icons, animations and rules.
Greenify - I think we all know this one
The theme i'm using is directly out of Venom's theme pot, @Basil3 it's very very well done and little to nothing isn't themed, has a huge choice of colours.
For xposed installation I have another thread here guiding you through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/walkthrough-screen-off-animation-using-t3384651
Here is the video to the venom rom with all the mods i've picked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgfD0p8RXQI&t=2s
*Note, lastly, these are not my mods, nor my Rom, they're simply the ones I choose to use for my daily driver, I can't thank them enough for delivering these so big thanks to them, they also play nice with the battery and overall, with 2 emails syncing and wifi running I only lose 1 - 2% overnight.
Any questions let me know and i'll do what I can to answer

The one that I've listed is yes. Reason being is because it's themed.
