Posted this in the Sprint One section and thought i'd share with y'all also
I saw a lot of people not knowing how to configure it, so here's how I got it to work
1. Install Floating Notifications and enable it in the Accesibility menu.
2. Select the box labeled "Launch Apps in Halo Mode"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Go to the app notifications menu and check which ones you want it to notify you for. HINT: if you want a real halo experience the rightmost icon in the app list will make the icon stay floating.
4. This is a personal preference: Go to Customize in Floating Notifications and select "Dock after a few seconds of inactivity" and then at the bottom set "Amount of the icon hidden when docked:" to 55%. If it is more than 55% then you will have trouble clicking the stack.
5. REBOOT PHONE.
Now for the Xposed part.
1. Install Xposed Framework
2. REBOOT PHONE.
3. Go into Xposed Installer and go to "Downloads" and select XHaloFloatingWindow, and then install it.
4. REBOOT PHONE.
5. Go into Xposed Installer and go into "Modules" and check the box "XHaloFloatingWindow".
6. For safe measure REBOOT PHONE. And then you're done
Lemme know if y'all need any help!
Also on the reboots it hung on the splash for a while.
Oh yeah not responsible if your device catches fire.
If you're having a problem with the stock messenger app look here:

using this will make the sense stock messager app from working properly as you won't be able to see the "SEND" button in the halo window
*correction* you just have to change the height of portrait 0.8 or at least for me, maybe this doesn't happen with other ppl.

This mod should work with all stock, and modded sony ericsson frameworks. Tested on .24, and .504 - works like a charm.
NOT TESTED ON X8! (but probably working...) And NOT FOR CM6/7, and all other custom / non-SE based roms, sorry... Only SE FW!
SCREENSHOTS:
Tutorial HOW-TO-INSTALL:
- Open framework-res.apk with 7zip
- Select "res" folder from downloaded archive, and drag him to opened 7zip window
- When prompted "Are sure You want to copy...?" select "YES"
- Close 7zip
- Push framework-res.apk to your phone
Tutorial screenshot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=525089&stc=1&d=1298451316
Please have in mind, that it's the only fast, and safe method. Don't try to update framework-res.apk another way, or You get a bricked phone after pushing file to system folder!
If You aren't sure how to do this please ask. Asking don't cost, and can protect from messing up Your phone!
The safest way to push framework-res.apk to Your phone is using ADB Mask Controller. When You f*ck up Your phone is always a chance to get back with this app. Please be careful, and read everything before You try to install!

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks.
I'm sorry, what?
Most custom launchers like Launcher Pro will allow you to hide apps from the app drawer, but for the Menu, I am unclear on what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to add a shortcut to the sub menu? I don't see Sprint ID anywhere on that screen-shot, confused on what exactly you're trying to replace.

This screenshoot is not mine but that menu open with same key in my phone, i´m not sure which name is.
Oh, okay. You mean this.
Yeah, the only way I got around it was installing a replacement launcher.
If there's a way to replace that option on the menu, I'm sure that it'll need to be flashed over, and at that point you might as well try out another ROM
Something like this, which is a stock rom that has been de-blurred, and most of the Sprint bloatware removed.

Or you can run this script that will de-cruft your current rom.

An Xposed module that lets you port some of the Android N's features such as the new Quick Settings interface, new notification cards design, and bigger recents screen.
Download the Xposed module "Android N-ify", activate the module, enable some of the features on its user interface, and reboot.
Some bugs I've encountered so far is that the "CLEAR ALL" button on the Notification panel doesn't actually clear your notifications but closes the panel instead. Also, the "Quick Switch" feature (double-tap recents button to switch to last app) is not working on the device. Maybe it will be fixed on future updates.
Tested on Xperia M4 Aqua with model E2353. May also work on other M4 models.
Credits to the developers of this awesome module
UPDATE: Disable "Change dismiss button" and reboot. This will replace the CLEAR ALL button with the stock icon and will make clear button function normally again. Also, I tried changing Double tap speed to 300ms and rebooted and the Quick Switch finally worked. :laugh:
(SCREENSHOTS WILL BE PROVIDED)
Hi, i just installed the module. Here are some screenshots (btw quick switch is working fine for me) :

I just upgraded from an LG G4 to a G6. I set the phone up as a new device and did not do a restore from the G4 or from any other device. I installed my apps one-by-one.
Just recently, the phone started playing the default notification sound and I am unable to determine what app might be triggering the sound. Is there any way to determine what app is triggering the notification? Is there a log somewhere?
The attached file is a screen shot of my notification shade.

Hello
as a first step i would recommend a cache cleaning:
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings
Tap Storage
Under device storage tap Internal storage
Wait for the menu options to finish calculating
Tap Cached data > clear
Wait for the cached data to clear; depending on size, it will take several seconds to complete.
Reboot device
=============================================================
Goto settings > accessibility > Turn off notification reminder. -if enabled-
=============================================================
Hangouts and Gmail are reported to cause this problem please check your gmail inbox incase there are new messages coming to you each time this happens as well as Hangouts if you are using it.
I suspect it's something to do with "location services" "... we've located you...."

Yes, but since it happens intermittently I don't know if this resolved the issue.
