Hi all.
This is for all Star Trek fans. I have made up a theme to make are vegas look like the LCARS panels used in Star Trek. You do need a few apps installed to make it happen. Most are free, the others can be replaced by free alternatives. This is currently just one screen, i do plan on adding two others. Just trying to find some inspiration for them. Also plan on changing the ENGINEERING text at the top to change when the home page is changed, when i get the time. This is only designed for use with the home screen set to Landscape, this can be set in ADW Launcher settings (explained below).
Apps needed:
Desktop visualizer - Bii,Inc
ADW launcher (i use the free version) - AnderWeb
Beautiful widgets (for time and weather widget, not free) - LevelUp Studio
System Monitor Lite 4 - gsjavadev
First install the above apps then set ADW settings as below.
ADW Settings:
Screen preferences,
Hide status bar: Checked
Wallpaper scrolling: Unchecked
Hide icon labels: Checked
Auto stretch: Unchecked
Desktop Columns: 8
Desktop Rows: 8
General Behavior,
Home screen binding: Move to default desktop
Swipe down actions: Open/close App Drawer (For swipe panel)
Swipe up actions: Show/hide statusbar (For swipe panel)
System Preferences,
Home Orientation: Landscape
UI Settings,
Main Dock Style: None (expanded desktop)
Applying the theme:
Unpack the LCARS Theme.zip and transfer the files to your Vega, then set the LCARSBackground.png as the wallpaper. Then start adding Desktop visualizer widgets, use the screenshot for reference. The top for buttons are 2x1 the eight middle are 1x1 and the bottom two large are 3x1. The settings button is 1x1, and the two swipe panels are 1x4. Set the image and application settings by tapping the empty desktop visualizer. Making sure to tap clear on the label option. You can go to the trouble of setting the appropriate touch effect colour to match the button colour. Time consuming but makes it look good. Thats it your vega should look like a LCARS pad!!
Have Fun
I guess I will be the first to reply. Nice theme, I may have to try it on my Nook Color. I won't get a chance until Sunday but I will report back then.
Could you better detail the necessary programs? Market seems to have several things with identical titles. Maybe list the program developer/author? Thanx

I prefer 'Notification Toggles' as it has nicer icon choices and includes shutdown options and can toggle GPS and NFC directly. You can set it as a service then it stays at the top.
You should try https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hcHBzcG90LmVpa2F0b3UwLnNzIl0.
one of the most useful apps in my opinion
there are also some APPs i would like to share as a must for XPS
1. Airdroid

the icon cant removed for real, but you can make it invisible ... just open the app, and click there to the Settingsbutton... you will see : Notification Icon and you can choose between Transparent, Battery and Default)
but transparent is ugly, becaus the icon is still in the bar, just invisible, with other notification Icons looks like a bug in the System

Hello. After upgrading from Beans v22, I have questions about config options in AllianceRom, but I'm not able to post in those threads.
1 - The text, numbers and symbols (such as battery icon) in the status bar are a little bit dim for me and I'd like to make 'em easier to read. In Statusbar Options I downloaded a plain black image and set that to background. I don't see a setting in that section for changing the font. It's currently grayish. I guess I'd like to make it bright white to improve contrast. I can't see any effect from playing with the alpha slider in Statusbar Options.
2- Related to the above, I used that same plain black image to background the notification panel to block out the underlying pages and text. (Btw, I wish both the statusbar and notifications panel options included a colorpicker rather than only image-based wallpaper)).
Like the Statusbar section, I admit I can't tell what effect the wallpaper alpha slider is having.
What I'd like to be able to do with the Notification panel is get it more Beans 22-like so it's a one-step process to get to the toggles. In Beans they were waiting for use as soon as I slid down the panel. Default setup in v.24 is a two step process: lower the panel, and then press the icon to display the toggles.
3- Speaking of the toggles, could you point me to the settings area where I can remove/change the toggle choices? I'd like to slim it down to about 10 things I'd use most often.
4- While I'm mentioning toggles, I noticed that longpressing the WiFi Hotspot toggle takes me to the USB/BT Tether screen rather than the Mobile Hotspot config/allowed devices screen. Is there somewhere I can change what happens on a longpress? (Wow I'm a pain in the butt.)
5- Dropbox. I love Dropbox the service, but not the official Dropbox app. I prefer to access it from the cloud section of ES Explorer because I can browse without syncing and just pull over the files I want. In Alliance I don't seem to be able to uninstall the Dropbox app. Rather than freeze/turn off, I'd just as soon dump it. Is that possible?
Thanks so much!

Hi!
I am using GravityBox with Xposed installed on my "Vernee Apollo" phone (the 2K version not the "Lite" version) which runs Android 6.0. The phone has full root.
Using GravityBox with Android 6.0 you have to realize that I don't know what exact and complete functions have GravityBox on its upper versions for later android versions, so I have to ask for developers for a few upgrades for the "Lockscreen Tweaks" section if I may, based on "GravityBox [MM]" only, please! Thank you for your understanding!
To get to the point here, below are the functions/settings I would like to see for the next releases of GravityBox:
1. Add More shortcuts than the 7 standard ones. Maybe we need to have 8, 10, 15 shortcuts on the lockscreen window, displayed on 2-3 rows. I am referring to these particular standard icons and not the "Pie controls" and/or "Application launcher" (I am not using these two sections/functions at all).
2. Add an option to make these 7 icons for these 7 shortcuts to be visible or unvisible/hidden on the lockscreen window. What I mean is the icons to become visible only when a notification arrives and after I see that linked notification, that (those) icon(s) to become hidden again. In this way we would have a clear lockscreen, only with the clock and/or date.
3. Upgrade the standard (stock) icons for the added 7 icons on the lockscreen (those stock white ones) , with updated icons! For instance, the icon for "Messenger" (from Facebook) app is not present in the stock white icons list and I have to use the "Hangouts" (Google) icon for it. You might consider to add (update the stock white integrated list icons) with more relevant icons for representative world wide known applications (like "Messenger" and so on).
4. Add the posibility to move down this 7 standard/stock white icons row on the lockscreen window, anywhere we want on the screen, between hour/date and unlock key icon from the bottom. In this way we can organize the lockscreen visual appearence as we please.
5. Add a function to add a PIN code for locking the screen directly from GravitBox (maybe a home screen shortcut for this function too) and not to use android stock security settings for that.
Thank you for your time and I hope you will add these functions/settings soon!
Have a wonderful life!
I have been, and expect to continue to be, tweaking away some personal bugbears, and thought I'd share it with anybody else who might be annoyed by the same thing. Just activate it for the apps in question and select which tweaks you want.
Here's what it currently does:
Chrome: disable tab groups
Chrome: match black/white nav bar to luminosity of status bar, so you get a black nav bar on dark sites
Outlook: tapping plus icon composes an email instead of giving you options to create other things like events; long-tap the plus icon for the old functionality.
Source: https://github.com/arpruss/xmisc2
Binaries: https://github.com/arpruss/xmisc2/blob/main/app/release/app-release.apk?raw=true
Updated: should work for users with non-English localization (though the module interface is English-only).
can i have some screenshots please?
Can You explain me how to use this module? Because i have zygisk lsposed, magisk canary zygisk, enabled module but tab group is still in chrome. I tried clean cache of chrome and all data but it not work
