Customize Status Bar?

Can anyone tell me how do I customize the status bar icons on my G3? I really need to add a button to enable or disable GPS.
Thanks!

On the toggles drag them all the way left, at the very end there's an edit toggle that will take you to the customization screen thing.

If you want further customization, theres an Xposed module called G3 Tweaksbox which is pretty damn comprehensive. You should check it out. If you dont know what xposed is and how it works id be happy to share!

I'd love to get it, unfortunately since I rooted my new G3 this last weekend I can't download anything from Google Play. Can you tell me where I can get the APK?

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
There's the link to the installer, the link is after the word "download:"
But why can't you install anything from the app store? That's bizarre..the first thing I do is root my devices, doesn't affect the play store....necessarily

It is bizarre. I can access Google Play, find an app, and attempt to download, except that the app never downloads. I get an error 495. I've googled that error and I've cleaned data and cache from Google Play and Google Framework. I've also removed my Google email address from Accounts, cleared it all again, then added my email again. No joy. Seems there are a small number of people with that problem. It's very frustrating with my brand new phone.

Try downloading an app from your browser and not the Play Store app. This has got mine working in the past when nothing else worked.

Sounds like switching Roms might solve that problem. Are you on the stock Rom? Here's the one I'm using, there are only two for now and they are both leaps and bounds better than stock. Additionally, it may be a problem with an older iteration that rom if you are using a custom one

Call Recorder

It seems that there is a default call recorder on this device (TMO variant). How do I disable, uninstall this?
Can not find any settings for this or where it lives.
Found a file folder called ideacallrecorder. This is where all the files are from recorded calls, but I never installed this app, nor can I find it.

Let me preface this by stating I did not install any call recorder on this device as I have no need for this. On initial set up I made a call and it prompted me to enable call record. After I take/make a call I get a screen that asks if I want to save the recording or add a note. It is somehow linked to some playstore app, but I don't know how to find it.

Go to the play store and view the installed apps?
Care to post a screen shot?

Install it in the play store, clear its cache and data, then uninstall in the app menu?
You could also install LG package disabler and see what it finds?

I'll try the play store option.
I have the package disabler and can't seem to find anything. I also do not know what it would be named. Don't see anything I don't recognize
Attempted installing the prompted app from the play store, cleared cache and data then uninstalled and still no go. May be trying a factory reset, as this is very annoying.

Well, I found the culprit! It was the dam SMS backup app I used. It was the first thing I installed during the set up of the device. Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for everyone's help

For posterity, because finding the source of this "ideaCallRecorder" just drove me NUTS for over an hour:
This apparently came from an app called "Super Backup" ("com.idea.backup.smscontacts...), which has an option to install a "call recorder" function. Once it's installed -- which I did ACCIDENTALLY while rebuilding my lady's phone -- you can't find the function anywhere in the system. The only clue is that folder in the default above-root directory /storage/emulated/0 .
The niggle was that EVERY CALL was being recorded on my lady's phone, and I could not find any way at all to turn call recording off. Until I stumbled on this thread.
The vendor shows up on apkmirror.com as "MobileIdea Studio". I advise to AVOID this dev's "Super Backup" app at all costs! Because it was way too easy for me (and apparently the OP here) to accidentally tap the wrong button on the main screen.
I realize this is 4 years later, but since this problem was such a bear to find for me (and a top-level XDA search didn't give me a lot of help), I figured I would add to the knowledge base, in the hope of making it easier for somebody else to solve this problem if it ever pops up.

Question Any luck flashing the T-Mobile firmware to a global variant?

I have a global variant OnePlus 9 pro. It seems that my phone may not have the full features that T-Mobile has to offer with their variant of the phone. I'm also noticing that with the new Google dialer that's been implemented, I'm unable to get the visual voicemail working (see picture for what it prompts). I guess the question here really is, would the T-Mobile firmware resolve issues like this or is this more of a sim card/carrier issue?

The regular tmobile variant doesn't even give you vvm via the dialer (op dialer) because you get to use their crappy vvm app where you are asked to pay for additional services.
If you want vvm, download their app.

I've seen threads on reddit and other forums where people had the native visual voicemail working and it was fully functional. I would imagine that there should be a fix for this. Their vvm app is trash so I'm not planning on doing that.

They probably used Magisk mods/fingerprint changes to make the Google Dialer work fully on their phones. Iirc, changing the fingerprint to a Pixel device not only "unlocks" visual voicemail within the Google Dialer, as well as transcription (if you pay for it, that is), but also call screening. However, as I mentioned in the thread detailing how to do that (here), it creates a lot of unintentional side effects. Also, as I mentioned, there IS a difference between VVM (which is free and simply allows you to listen to voicemails without actually dialing into your VM) and transcribed voicemails (which is the voicemail-to-text feature). Either CAN be accessed without T-Mobile's proprietary software, but the latter must be added to your monthly bill to actually work.

Would something like this be a viable root method with the additional mods that are added in this guideline? I don't want to cause unnecessary system app problems nor brick the device. It seems that the OnePlus 9 pro has the google dialer installed out of the box, mine being the global edition straight from OnePlus

Well, if you use any kernels or Magisk modules geared at specific devices (such as this one) you might run into some problems due to the device's fingerprint. Nothing potentially bricking or the like. Kernels and modules won't flash/install. They'll simply stop at the device validation and exit. With modules, the good thing is a lot of them aren't device-specific (with the exception of some geared at Samsung or OP devices, for example), and even if you run into problems with those, they're easily removed via recovery. Kernels, on the other hand, are a different beast. Any issue with those requires flashing the original boot.img (which will remove root, btw).
The only major issue I ran into with this mod, on my 7T, was with updating the ROM (via Oxygen Updater, anyway) and the kernel (for example, EX Kernel, which balks when it sees the device fingerprint, and cancels the flashing process). There might be ways to bypass these restrictions, but I wasn't able to find any, so I ended up having to revert the fingerprint changes to flash those, then re-do the fingerprints and Dialer setup again. This was on OOS 10, by the way. So with 9 Pro and OOS 11, the conditions might differ. YMMV.

Themes / Apps / Mods Magisk module for enabling auto brightness & more

This is a Magisk module that adds a hardware overlay for the Xperia 10 III for any PHH-Treble based ROM.
This amongst other things enables auto brightness!
To install, simply copy to your phone, and in Magisk use the "install from storage" option, then reboot.
While this overlay is based on official Sony files, it should be considered very experimental because I have no idea what I'm doing. GLHF

hi . your overlay is fine exept you have missed to remove some no-existing attribute for phh-gsi see https://github.com/pepijndevos/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/1

phh said in my PR "I'll allow it" regarding these properties, which is why I left them. https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/413#issuecomment-968368630 but I have not heard from him since, so unclear to me if he'll whitelist them or what I should do about them. If he'd told me to remove them I'd obviously have done so.

Phhusson have merged my PR .
See https://github.com/phhusson/vendor_hardware_overlay/pull/423
Overlay checked in sources & tested its fully stable.
Its will be included in next phh release its good news!

Great news. Bit weird that he did not give feedback on my PR for almost a month and then merged yours, but whatever.
One weird issue I'm having with my phone is that audio from Whatsapp/Signal/Twitter spaces plays at 3x speed fragments. I should test if this overlay has any effect on that. @ada12 does calling in Whatsapp/Signal work for your?

Question Phone reset...should I?

Helloe
Since I bought the phone, the reminder subfunction of the Google calendar app doesn't work. I get reminded of events but not of reminders that I add. Other users jave reported it as well, but we haven't found a solution.
OnePlus support recommended this
"Please try reset options this will not erase data. If you only want to clear app data and restore your device to factory settings without losing the data stored in the internal storage, choose the Reset all settings option in the Reset phone menu instead of the Erase all data option."
With a perfectly working daily driver phone that's rooted and otherwise working fine, should I follow their suggestion?
Does root get wiped? Will I have to reinstall my apps?
Thanks

Try clearing just that apps data. Maybe use another calendar app if that doesn't work.
Google apps are a pain. Constant firmware and software upgrades/updates just mean more of your time spent trying to learn and troubleshoot them. Gookill is a mess.

If you can uninstall then reinstall it try that. Check it's permissions and if it's able to run in the background. A Google search may give you more solutions; doesn't have to be that model or even brand as the same issues tend to happen on many different Androids.
If that's the only problem I would find another app to replace it. Not worth screwing up a good load over one insignificant app.
I use as little Google apps as possible. I use the native Samsung calendar instead. I use Gmail and Gmaps but Gmaps is a mess.

I tried to uninstall it but I was unable to. I couldn't even use titanium back to remove it for some reason. I should be able to remove it that way, right.
You have a valid point about not reseting over 1 app. Thanks

Indian warrior actually.
"It has pleased the Great Spirit that I am here today— I have eaten with my white friends. The earth is our mother— we are now on it, with the Great spirit above us; it is good. I hope we are all friends here. A few winters ago I was fighting against you. I did wrong, perhaps, but that is past—it is buried—let it be forgotten.
Rock River was a beautiful country. I liked my towns, my cornfields and the home of my people. I fought for it. It is now yours. Keep it as we did— it will produce you good crops.
I thank the Great Spirit that I am now friendly with my white brethren. We are here together, we have eaten together; we are friends; it is his wish and mine. I thank you for your friendship.
I was once a great warrior; I am now poor. Keokuk has been the cause of my present situation; but I do not attach blame to him. I am now old. I have looked upon the Mississippi since I have been a child. I love the great river. I have dwelt upon its banks from the time I was an infant. I look upon it now. I shake hands with you, and as it is my wish, I hope you are my friends.

This is what I get when I try to uninstall it using titanium backup.

That's interesting as it's not even present on my Samsung. With root permissions I would think you could uninstall it. However it may have dependencies.
Again I would bypass it by using another calendar app to replace it.
