flashed: xposed-v90-sdk26-arm64-beta3.zip and XposedInstaller_3.1.5.apk.
It's working fine. Thus far I've tried Gravity Box (being careful) and "Flat Style Bar Indicators" to tweak the status bar icons. So far so good.
Be forewarned that installing XPosed will fail SafetyNet, which basically eliminates Magisk's ability to hide the systemless root... meaning Android/Google Pay and other root-sniffing programs will refuse to run.
do you know if TweakBox for Xposed it was ever updated for V30 and Oreo ?

Yeah, but you can get decent status bar icons with xposed as opposed to LG's nonsense. I don't want two battery icons on the status bard, and I don't want my HSPA to say "4G" (its NOT) while my actual LTE says "4G LTE" (and the miniscule LTE is sideways). I want clear designations for HSPA and LTE -- period. And only one battery icon with percentage inside. Gravity Box gives me that. I don't need all the OTHER options of Gravity Box, except the audio steps.
I don't really use Android Pay. Just as easy to take out my wallet as my phone...

@markbencze, see I'm not the only one! Any development on this mess yet with the LG status bar icons in your themes? I checked a while back when you finally got Oreo and didn't see anything. I apologize if I didn't look carefully enough.
Just got root! Has anyone tried SystemUI Tuner? Seems like it does a lot without needing xposed, just throwing it out there. That being said, I plan on trying xposed later today.

Alpha has a few status bar icon options. I didn't mess with the 4g or LTE icons but I did make custom signal icons to compliment the center or left clock options. I'm adding more as time goes by

I used to use SystemUI Tuner but there were less options to tinker around with so I took a plunge and installled the systemless xposed module (and gravity box) and it works fine both on the "Thoery of Everything" rom (debloated stock oreo rom, 8.0) and now the unofficial LOS 15 rom (8.1) on my H930.

Can you please tell me about the details of xposed installation on your V30? As you know, following your guide I rooted my (Indian Oreo) LG V30. Now I'd like to know about a safe way for xposed on my phone. I downloaded xposed installer APK today. Waiting. Thanks.

I was talking about Gravity Box xposed module, which I had installed back when the LG V30 was on Nougat. I have not re-installed Gravity Box with Oreo.
Gravity Box is like a custom ROM packed into one module. It can give you features and options custom ROMs normally give (like audio controls, etc) but you have to be careful when using with stock firmware like LG or Samsung which already have customizations which can cause conflict.
Gravity Box is best for pure Android. However, if you only activate a very few features -- like status bar icons, you can still use it.

New Xposed Mod: Smart Alarm Icon
This mod will change the alarm icon in status bar to be only displayed for a configurable time before alarm will go off. This for example will remove the icon on Friday and Saturday if the alarm is scheduled for working days only. The threshold for when the icon gets shown is configurable via UI.
=> This makes the alarm icon more valuable again, since if shown permanently one gets used to it quite fast.
Limitations
Works on HTC and Samsung stock-based ROMs version 4.0.3 and higher (permanently hides the icon on other devices)
You MUST accept that you use any modification at your own risk
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot
To change settings, tap on the module in Xposed installer
ChangeLog
Code:
[B]1.2[/B]
- Samsung ROMs now fully supported
[B]1.1[/B] (392 dloads)
- Preferences now include "show never" (slider left) and "show always" (slider right)
- Removed "active" checkbox (now configured with slider)
[B]1.0[/B] (86 dloads)
- Initial release
Hope you enjoy and let me know. Great thanks go to rovo89 for this fabulous framework.
My Other Xposed Mods
All HTC and Samsung ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Smart Alarm Icon
Only shows the alarm icon in status bar a configurable time before next alarm
All HTC Sense 5 ROMs
BlinkFeed Back To Top
Enables the back button in BlinkFeed to fast scroll to top
All HTC ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Custom Status Bar Opacity
Easily configure the opacity of the status bar when it is transparent in lock screen and launcher
Nice, thanks, very handy! Just installed it and it works great!

Probably yes. I don't have my hands on any AT&T/Rogers ROM, on which NFC icon it is reported to show up. Furthermore, I'm not using NFC at all, so I'm afraid it makes no sense for me modding this. I suggest keeping an eye on trixx's TrickDroid thread, his ROM at least supports AT&T models - maybe he's willing to include this at some point

Dude. I didn't bother looking around to see if anybody had tried this on a GS3 (yeah I know wrong thread) but this is awesome. I absolutely HATE the stupid icon up there all frackin day when my alarm isn't until the morning. So far works great on my sprint GS3. Thanks!

Has work great on my note 2, but really it should work on any device as long as you have xposed installed. Would be great to hide other icons as well.

Works fine here too. Thanks!
it works partially for me on my note 2.
hiding permanently works.
but if I set the icon to be visible again it stays hidden.
is there a delay in this, or is it a bug?
it's not a disaster if it's a bug though, I wanted the icon gone permanently anyway.

Thanks for your feedback. I updated to v1.2, which fully support Samsung ROMs now. v1.1 had the limitation that threshold was only working on HTC ROMs. On none-HTC/Samsung ROMs it will keep on hiding the icon permanently.
it's working perfectly now.
I have been searching high and low to get rid of that icon on JB. Thank you for freeing up some space on my status bar!
Tested on Nexus 4 and it works perfectly, Running vanilla Android 4.2.2, so it's not just limited to Samsung/HTC roms it seems.:good:

Thank you for this information. Wondering which clock app is installed / comes shipped on your device? Since only HTC and Samsung alarm settings and changes are handled, it should only hide (not auto-show) the icon on vanilla ROMs.
Can anyone confirm if Xposed Framework and Gravity Box KK are compatible with the Moto X 2014?
There are a few tweaks that I would like to make and didn't see any clear answers if it is compatible.
Just rooted and installed xposed/gb last night. Everything seems to be working without any issues
Working fine for me as well!
While we're somewhat on the subject. What other modules are people using? Currently, I'm just using Gravity Box. Just what's out there.

One of these ****ed up some of the moto stuff on my phone. E.g. attentive display stopped working completely (wouldn't detect my face in the demo), moto voice was disabled and could not re-enable. By process of elimination I am down to XGELS. I need to re-enable it and figure out which settings were causing the problem. Will report back.
EDIT: I couldn't reproduce this problem above, disregard
Hmm, interesting then, because my phone is the pure edition. It was one of the first things I learned how to disable before I unlocked the boot loader. Sadly, I would understand why Verizon might not let you remove network branding.
have u tried "Moto X Hide Carrier for 4.4+" module. it worked for previous moto x to remove the carrier brand on status bar.
I've read somewhere that xposed isn't compatible (possibly nor ever) with lollipop. So I'm guessing y'all are talking about the moto x on KitKat?

It's not. Xposed doesn't work on ART, and since Lollipop uses ART, Xposed isn't compatible.

Awesome thanks for posting
This module for Android Lollipop/Marshmallow (5.x.x/6.x.x) adds the current battery percentage to the lock screen, notification shade header, and status bar. The app includes options for enabling or disabling the injected text, changing the position of the text relative to the battery icon, and changing the appearance of the text.
Note that this has not been tested on Nougat (7.x.x). As of Oreo (8.x.x), this module is no longer needed, as the battery percentage text is now properly shown alongside the battery icon when enabled in the System UI Tuner.
Xposed Module Repository
thanks for this module. it is possible to add an option so we can see the battery percentage text on the right side of the battery icon?
Not working on CM 12.1. I'd be happy to test out any test releases to get this working. This is something I miss from KitKat.
Thank you so much man @Extrinsic. It has puzzled me to no ends why there was no decent module for this very specific purpose. This is such neat & useful module. Cheers ??

Just get an app which tells you the percentage. There are so many. I think "battery doctor" does that, and you could really easily do something like that with tasker.

it seems that font size is smaller at status bar than at lock screen, don't it?
This absolutely genius module no longer works on most ROMs it used to. Probably due to framework changes in AOSP.
Can you kindly update it to work with current AOSP ROMs?
Plus, it never worked on any CM-based ROMs due to their customization.
Thank you so much.
New version (v1.1):
- Added support for unexpanded notification shade header
- Added options for customizing positions and font sizes
- Allowed injected text to receive alpha channel and color changes made to status bar elements
- Fixed compatibility issues with some AOSP and CyanogenMod-based ROMs

I've tested it so far on the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 Google stock ROMs, CyanogenMod 13 (6.0.1), and Pure Nexus (6.0.1). Hopefully, it should work with most near-stock ROMs now.
This is an amazing module, I am loving it, thank you for doing it. It works great with the latest update in my Moto G 3rd Generation (2015) with stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It would be nice to have an option to hide the app from the launcher, as many modules have, and It would be nice to have more text sizes, or a configurable text size bar. Anyway, it is awesome, keep the good work!
Hi,
I'm trying to find a way of changing the status bar icons namely battery and signal without rooting. Is this possible?
If not, what are the consequences of rooting, and can I reverse it for warranty reasons if I need to.

without root you can't. And even with root there's no mod / xposed module specificly made for our phone (which uses own framework files).
To root you must unlock your bootloader, which means Sony (manufacturer) warranty void but laws in your Country should still protect you.
Now you can backup your DRM key which can be restored if you want to go back to locked bootloader (restoring DRM device key will relock the bootloader. search in the z5 forums for more info)
Gravitybox xposed module lets you add modded battery icon and color some icons and there might be other xposed modules similar. If you want, you can follow these guides to modify the required files yourself (needs a bit of learning if it's a new thing for you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816
(there's a guide regarding battery icon on xperia phones, it might be useful also for Marshmallow).
As far as i know, since Kitkat, status bar icon editing has become quite complicated because icons are drawed by the system and no more rendered from .png image files.

I suppose that a status bar overlay over original status bar is quite different from "changing status bar icons". Not even thinking about battery drain that such an overlay would require, it might be relevant.
You can't change status bar icons without root. It would be possible if Sony added this possibility in its Theming Engine.
But as far as i know, this isn't available.
Could you name the other Xposed modules that can theme status bar and work on stock xperia MM?
Does Xstana work for you?

Android theme engine, flat style indicators and xstana are three that I have paid for. Xstana being my favorite, flat style is limitless in style but doesn't show traffic. As far as non root idk for lollipop or marshmallow but kitkat there are mods that aren't overlays, you can even theme notification panels. Transparent status/notification bars were a big deal with a few of the themes I used to run.
Edit: I see you've said since KitKat status bars have changed. All the more reason to root.

Flat style indicators doesn't work, it needs root I think.
I don't know why you assumed I didn't already search and come up with nothing.
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.

Thanks for the reply! Few follow-up questions: GravityBox is an Xposed module/app, right? And to get the Xposed framework installed, I'd need root? Lastly, how did you root your ROG?
EDIT: Did you follow this root guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone/how-to/guide-root-t3865490 ?

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.

nope, none so far. Doesn't take long and is pretty easy. I'd say its worth it. Some modules don't work 100% but I'm sure you already knew that.

Interesting. Would you mind DMing me a list of modules you've tested?

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.
