Root apps galore! - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Since we have finally gotten root, suggest all your root apps here.
I personally installed "ultimate dynamic navbar" right away, which not only got rid of that ugly have bar but also autohides it for more screen estate

Good topic. I hope more suggestions get posted. I have installed adblock plus.

I tried installing the module, but it won't hide the stock soft keys through xposed's safe setting. I had to use the build, dangerous, method to kinda get it to work, and now it only hides the soft keys while in apps, but they are still there while you're looking at the launcher and not in any app. So how did you get it to work.

You guys must know about this; if not, I suggest Greenify.
I use a two-finger swipe up gesture in Nova to auto-hibernate stuff.

Try auto hide softkeys app

Try the GMD Auto Hide softkeys APK in the play store
I bought the pro version because its more customization. Had it for a week now and its's worked flawless.

Cool App--LMT

I'm not sure if anyone else has tried it, but LMT launcher (not really a launcher) DOES work on the DX2!! Only setback I've found so far is that "slices" used for app launching, literally show up as "app". This is fine for me though, because I'm just using it for toggles, and those icons are showing up--at least on CM7--I haven't tried it on anything else.
If what I've said confuses the mind, here are a few informative links!

This app would be perfect if I could figure out how to launch the stock task switcher from the pie. The task switcher button wouldn't work, and I have tried keying longpress of the soft home to trigger recent apps, but no luck. Long press of the search button (to trigger voice search) worked great.
Its a pretty cool idea. And it matches the browser quick controls so I like the consistency. I tried it out on my phone for a little while but ended up disabling it. I have so many ways already to quickly launch apps and get into settings etc. lol.
About the app icons, if you go into the settings and scroll all the way down, there is an option that says "Show app images". Set that to 1
funny..... in the youtube video you link, it shows how to make the app icon show up. just sayin. you made it sound like it didnt/wouldnt work or something.

Homescreen spacing issue after soft key removal

I know I'm nitpicking here but after I installed the GMD softkey remover it drops the home screen down just a bit and leaves a space up at the top. If it turn on the soft key spoof mode it just moves everything up and leaves a space at the bottom. Here are some pictures to show what I'm talking about. Red bars show area I'm talking about.

Soft key spoofing on
Is there a way to add some padding space above the dock buttons but below the homescreen grid? I've tried different launchers but I cant use the stock weather widget for some reason.

But then I lose my softkeys all together. I still need them to pop-up so I can navigate. Actually, how would you navigate without the softkeys completely?

LMT launcher, gives you keys similar to PIE controls.

Awesome, I'll give that a try.
In my case, I take em out (soft keys) and navigate and do much more with GMD Gesture Control.

Removing persistent VPN notification on notification window?

Hey XDA. I must query your limitless knowledge. I've recently started using hotspot shield vpn, and I have two vpn icons. One is a system icon that I can't hide (it's the one with the key icon, that I want hidden) and one with the green shield (it's animated, and I would prefer to keep it.)
So, I'm looking for a way to hide the one with the key. I've searched for an XPOSED module but haven't seen one that does what I'm asking. Any ideas?

This did the trick for me. I set up an OpenVPN server at home and was irritated that the openvpn app icon as well as the android vpn key notification icon were present. I was easily able to hide the stock key icon using the xposed app es0tericcha0s reccommended.
VPN permanent notification, even on block screen is very annoying indeed. So many configuration knobs in Android and you cannot get rid of it! In case of Opera Max is like an advertising, you see the Opera logo every time you watch at your blocked phone. incredible!

Hiding the 3 dot menu (overflow buttons)

Hello!
I am using SlimSaber - SlimLP which is a 5.1.1 ROM and I'm facing a single issue with it, I'm posting it here since the ROM's thread seems pretty dead, but it's still a great ROM.
I want to remove the 3-dot menu also called overflow buttons because I don't use the navigation bar. As you may know, we have physical buttons in our Galaxy S2s and those are more than enough for me.
Look at how much space it takes, it cuts almost everyone's names on my device when using the stock DPI (lcd density)

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The ROM looks like it has a built-in function to disable them but it doesn't work.
I have also tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the build.prop file but it didn't work.
You could say "well just make the LCD density lower by changing the DPI to 200 or something" Yeah but if you do that, games will lag because it thinks you have another screen size, I had that issue and it got solved by going back to the original DPI size. (in addition to all the problems changing DPI could entail).
And also, yeah, it's possible with nowadays' apps to remove them because if you install Samsung's official JB 4.1.2, you can use the actual whatsapp and everything without these 3 dots. Even with CM11 KitKat you can still use your device without those. What does lollipop need in order to get rid of them...
Any other ideas on how to remove that unnecessary button? Thanks in advance.

Question What causes this bug where homescreen is blank? Anyone else get it?

Sometimes the homescreen fails to load. It just shows the wallpaper and status bar. Normally there are widgets and apps. Any idea why? I'm using Nova Launcher but on other phones it worked fine.

it's a weird bug with the pixel 6/Android 12 and third party launchers, I experience the same thing with Niagara launcher and have yet to find any solution to it
YES!! I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Also using Nova and 12L on Pixel 6.
Make sure that you are using Nova launcher version 7.0.57

Looking at your home screen and the notifications. It looks like you have a lot running tasks in the background.
Find out which app or mod is interfering with Nova.
I am using Nova with root and the basics, without issues.
I have the same issue in a ZTE Axon 40
Everytime I swipe up to go home, if I make a quick press after the swipe, the home screen goes blank nd I have to swipe up again to recover the icons and widgets
