I love my Honor 6X. In fact, I've bought 3 of them in my household. The one thing that just drives me nuts though, is the spacing of the buttons on the navigation bar. I've searched and searched online and have not been able to find any way to change it. I'm using the Lineage theme so the buttons are Pixel-like, but I want them spaced out like stock Android instead of so close together. Anyone have any way of doing this? I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked on stock EMUI 5/Nougat.
Thanks!

Hi caseym. Same here. I purchased 3 of them when the BB deal came out. I'm afraid that you would have to use a custom ROM to get the navigation keys at the spacing of your liking. You can change them with a theme and you can re-arrange them (settings/navigation key) but nothing beyond that, other than changing the resolution (settings/display/view mode). For my taste the current custom ROMs are not ready yet for my main phone though. I've replaced Moto G4 Plus' on which we ran the Invicta ROM (best rom for that phone). Once the custom roms for the 6X reach similar status I'd consider them.
cheers
So, you can choose to use an app like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967 (no root, no Xposed required) or you can manual do that via adb, following the tutorial here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/

Whoa sorry, both methods are a pain to EMUI, didn't noticed that. Well, check this one then https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-tuner-enabler-t3615628 it requires substratum, but it should work on many OEMs Roms.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I've looked at some of these options and found exactly what derausgewanderte pointed out. I'll try the substratum mod.
Unfortunately, the substratum theme doesn't work. Try to enable it after installation, it says I have to reboot phone, reboot and it's disabled again. Guess we're stuck with what we have. I don't want a custom rom...battery life on this phone is absolutely amazing and I don't want to chance messing with that. Thanks for the responses.

I agree. It's looking odd especially if you got used to the AOSP looks.

I like a simple OP so ...
Just like the title says this IS and WILL be a CLEAN AOSP rom built from source, I really just build for myself but I don't mind sharing with the community.
You ask why share a basic AOSP rom?, well there are some people here that like a AOSP rom but don't have the time or the resources to build, also at one point I felt that Android in its infancy needed a lot of customization, but now its a lot better, plus with the invention of Xposed there's not enough reason to code in features when you can just download them.
This does not come with Google Apps installed you will have to install the ones you desire just make sure they're compatible with Android 6.0, and also this rom is not rooted so you will need a compatible root solution if you need root.
There is no screen shots since the is a non-themed AOSP rom, which will look like any other AOSP rom so please do not ask, and please be friendly to one another, and also please report anything broken I will try to fix it as I can.

6.0 has RRO compatibility built into the source.
All that is needed is Root and BusyBox.
Running Layers as we speak on a factory ROM.

Yeah but since it will be compatible in the near future, there is no point in adding any flashy features that are xposed-specific into the ROM.

The layers now available are for previous versions.
But there is enough working to create a dark interface. The trick is to use layer combinations.
Suggestion for dark: InversionUi, CommuteUi, Scarlett, Blackish
Start with layers for 'framework', 'systemui', 'settings' and 'velvet' only.
Existing layers(not updated) for keyboard, contacts, calendar etc, will not work or text is not readable.
In the play store is a layer manager available. I prefer to extract them manually and transfer the layer-apk's manually to /system/vendor/overlay. After a reboot the layers are active and copied to vendor/overlay.

Many have been updated for 6.0.
Right now I am using Evolve and it's partner CommuteUI. Applied through the Layers Manager app (working on 6.0) and the themes stick on reboot.
I understand if you want to bake this in to a ROM, but I'm just passing along the info that Layers works out of the box with stock factory images of 6.0 with root and busybox installed. No need to rely on AOSP or Custom Roms for Layers now. (My point basically and to answer the initial question I quoted)

No I just suggested a different approach. A layer manager is not needed. There are a lot of nice layers on 'afh'. I download/extract on the PC (add .zip at the name) and delete the layer-apk's I don't use. Transfer to 'system/vendor/overlay' and reboot is enough. So I use root explorer, but layer manager is also good.
The main point is that the device involved needs Root acces. And when you have Root there are alternative. Just sharing it with the community.

I don't use Contacts. Just unhid it from Nova and checked. You're right.
Man, I'm spoiled with touch-less interface haha. I RARELY if ever use the phone/contacts app. I just say who I want to call or speak the number. Works better with Tasker cooked in w/ Autovoice.
I also figured you were just listing another way of doing it. It's good to have multiple ways.
Hi.
Thanks for sharing.
Is AOSP SMS application include ?
If yes, is it possible to have an extract of the apk please ?

Envoyé de mon Nexus 6
Just a heads up to whoever is using this, there is going to be another release shortly that is much "cleaner" it won't have any of the debugging tools added nor will it have anything that can be found in the PlayStore. This next release is pretty much just barebones and you will need to get a internet browser, camera, gallery app, music app, well you will see whats not there. At any rate I feel that this gives the user more freedom on what they want installed, so this is the new format for this rom and it is complete, the only thing that will happen now is updates to make it better. Also I will be releasing my source for this too if anybody wants to rebuild and add their own spin on it or contribute to the pre-existing rom.

Hello! Bought a Redmi 5plus about 2 months ago. Saying I love it, is less than fair... I really, really love this device. Lots of ram, lots of storage, it is responsive, fast and love this new format for the screen. But, I hate... NO... I loathe all this white present on the User Interface.
Prior to this 5plus, I had a Samsung S4, wich has died... Finally! LoL dont get me wrong, I have loved it too, but I had it for years, was kind of tired of it. I flashed Many ROMs to it and managed to always keep a dark UI.
So, this brings me to my question or request for help: is there anyway to put out all the whiteness to rest on the 5plus?
Been already searching XDA for flashing tutorials, but I came to the conclusion that its not as Simple to flash a 5plus, as it was flashing the S4.
Soooooo... Help? Suggestions?
Thanks for not ignoring and sorry for my poor English.
Hugs from Portugal.
Edited to ask: what is this treble and vince thing?
Thanks again.

Main difference between your old Samsung s4 (I too had one in the past and many more Samsung devices) is that Redmi 5 Plus has the bootloader locked but this device is really more easy to flash cause it has an additional way that is fastboot method and in this mode you can flash it using commands or using the official MiFlash tool also through recovery and edl mode.
Once you unlock bootloader any rom that you flash it onto (except flymeOs which I can´t find one) has their dark themes as miui with its own theme engine (based on theme chooser from cyanogen) as any aosp based rom using substratum theme.
Vince is the codename of device and treble support (not natively implemented) tries to create an universal system image for all devices as many possible to get reach every update more easily. (this is a basic explanation, there is many more)
try a theme. i'm using Dark Legacy Pro. darkens almost the whole ui, but notifications and the navigation bar are still white.

there should be an app called, "Themes" somewhere on your home screen. open it and search for Dark Legacy pro and apply it.
Yes, there is a "themes" on the phone definitions, but it only shows 2 themes installed and there is no search option. Installed and APP from the Google playstore... Will test it.
Edited to Say, this sucks!
Have already tried and download a few themes.
But it doesnt let me apply them.
Error: themes are not supported in your region.
What?! So sad... Why is this?!
Hello. I managed to install dark legacy pro, all I had to do was Change my phone's region, login to the Miui fórum and download the theme.
One Word: Perfect!!!! Thanks for all the help!
Also check out Blackberry.
Has anyone been able to figure out a way to customize the notification bar? I'm looking to get rid of the battery bar since I'm using AccuBattery & would prefer to use its battery indicator.
Would also be nice to get the network speeds on the bar. As well as having a seconds indicator on the clock.
try gravitybox. some settings might not work, but most do. If that doesn't have exactly what you're looking for, try the flat style bar indicators module, that one worked for me as well.

Yes, gravitybox is an xposed module, and yes you'd need root. I kinda followed that guide but I can simplify it I think. after you've unlock the bootloader:
1. install magisk app
2. tap install
3. Select normal install
4. reboot when prompted
5. check you have root with root checker
6. install xposed app
thats what worked for me when upgrading to magisk 18. When I first installed magisk (17.3), I had to get boot.img from my firmware version, place it on the phone, and when selecting install, I had to choose patch boot image and browse to the .img.
Have you come across any issue with xposed yet? Right now that's the most compelling reason to root my phone.

I've tested gavitybox O and snapfreedom both work to some degree depending on which setting you use, as some will just completely make your phone non functional. but then other settings work fine.
youtube adaway also works but causes random youtube fc's every so often.
Some other modules Ive tested are flat style toolbar which did nothing, xstana which works (but I didn't think I needed it personally), and that one thats supposed to let you downgrade apps whose name I'm forgetting right now. Yea that one did nothing either.
I also have viperFX and xHifi in magisk.
To be fair, I think, most of the things we would use these modules for are already features built into the phone. overclocking is so niche. I know since I've been doing it for 23+ years. Thats a feature built right in. on a phone. night mode used to be one, as well as mapping gestures, battery management, and so many other things. IMO, way to go Asus! (although next time don't make it such a dust magnet! I already have some tiny specks under my camera glass somehow?)
Finally rooted. Though Gravity Box O didn't work, Flat Style Bar Indicators was perfect for what I need. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm trying to enable the System UI Tuner option by holding down the settings icon on the notifications bar, but it doesn't work. I've got developer options on, have ensured all three animation scales are at 1X and tried both charging and uncharging.

I'm hesitant to do the Frankenphone option and root because my bank app is blocked for rooted devices and apparently even the hide root options don't fix that.

I'm going off what others have said on the USAA forums, that somehow it still detects root and blocks. Some people have said Magisk works, others have said it doesn't. I'm not sure I want to risk it as I do all my banking through the app.

Are you using the stock ROM or a custom ROM? I don't know if LG included a system UI tuner in their OS. I've never seen it anyway. And I don't know about your specific bank but the only thing I have seen people say isn't working on custom ROMs is Android Pay. I'm running the stock LG OS and have root using magisk and I'm not having any issues with Android Pay or any other apps.

Stock ROM. I haven't touched the bootloader/rooting/custom roms yet. The most custom thing I've done so far is switch to Nova launcher.
The USAA app appears to be doing weird things with root detection. Some people that were rooted and unrooted their device still can't access it, even after a data wipe. I'm taking the posts with a grain of salt, as other people seem to have success with Magik. It does apparently flag if Google Pay is tripped for root, so that might be an issue with custom roms.
These days, I really don't need root anymore with Stratum and other theming options. I would like to try System UI Tuner and see what it does just because it's a baked-in function (maybe not LG?) before going the root route.

In my experience, the status bar isn't very customizable on the stock ROM. even with the system UI Tuner app in the play store, some things can't be changed. Most likely due to LGs framework being different from stock. What is it exactly you would like to change with a System UI Tuner?

I don't think the playstore app is the same one built into android. I could be wrong though. I don't have any specifics I'm looking to do. I tend to be minimalist in my GUI and mostly wanted to play with it and see what I could do.

It does a lot of what the built in System UI tuner does. The problem though, like I said, is that LG has their own framework and doesn't have a built in System UI tuner of their own as far as I know. The most customizing I have done is with Substratum themes. But even those are limited (again, because of LGs framework). I'm just saying, root won't get you many more options than what you already have. Unless you use a custom ROM.

I disagree.
I'm rooted stock firmware and I have Nova launcher, icon packs, my own wallpaper.
PLUS, I've also installed this Magisk mod:
Anxious Kernel Script (kernel tweaks),
Dual Speaker Mod for US998,
ESS DAC for Low Impedance Headphones/AUX (should work on other models, idk),
Google Dialer,
Google Sans,
LG G7 ThinQ Camera Features,
sqlite3;
US GPS Config,
YouTube Vanced (no ads, better options -- like download, resolution)
as well as enabled call recording: (clarification, this "mod" itself is not a TWRP-flashable Magisk module, but does require root permissions.)
There's tons of other Magisk modules I've not even looked at. Magisk is becoming the "xposed" of a few years ago where you can have "pick-and-choose" custom ROM options WITHOUT installing a custom ROM.
AND I have TWRP custom recovery to make image backups (like having a magic time machine) or to flash other Magisk modules.
I have Titanium Backup which lets me back up and restore apps + data. I just had an app update and took away a feature I liked. BOOM. Restore recent version through Titanium Backup, lock out future updates until they come to their senses.
With root (even on stock firmware) you have so many options to improve your phone or have TOTAL CONTROL over your phone.

Oh, I agree, root opens up a lot. But as far as System UI tuning like he mentioned, you're kind of stuck with what LG gave us. As far as those Magisk Modules, I may try some out. I've only installed the Grennify module. I can never tell if something will work with the H932 or if it will break something so I haven't dived too much into modules yet
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
