Which do people prefer on their Xz1?
I personally use Gravitybox as Xblast has been more hassle than it is really worth.
Anyone else use something different?
gravity box, pretty neat.
i just wish it had an option to leave the notification bar unmodded.. i like other features of gravitybox, but the navbar i whould actually like to leave as is...

Good shout on the statusbar mod.
Xblast is the one for me, nice and simple
Only need gravity box, there isn't anything i need that xblast could provide.
GravityBox works fine for me, but CRT Screen Off animation doesn`t look that beautiful, as it should be (Too fast or smth like that)
Is there a comparison of the two anywhere? I can't find one and I'd like to see the two feature list side by side....

Yeah a comparison is something I would also be interested in.
Gravity Box
i whould like to swtich my post from earlier, i started using xblast recently and it seems better.
more costumization options and you can leave the startus bar unharmed unlike in gravitybox, plus the features that lets you choose notification light for different apps is free, unlike gravitybox which is only in paid version.
I use Xblast, have better customizations but I like Advanced Power-off from GravityBox. Remain unclear to me why I cannot have Transparent bars with both of them, gravity or xblast don't do this job on 4.3.

Is there any mods to use AOSP style multitasking? I would just try an AOSP rom but i'm a bit worried about the bricking problems.

I think there are some ROMs with that as an option, but I'm not sure which ones off the top of my head. Check the OPs.
swapps
theres an App called Swapps that allows you to kind of do the whole multitasking thing, check it out i believe its in the play store and i used it on my E3D and actually liked it a lot and just havent actually re installed it. check it out and let us know what you think.
For the next version (probably named 2.6), @GermainZ has made big contributions for a refreshed, more holofied design. I think this would be the right time to introduce a new logo as well. If you want to contribute, but can't code, this is your chance.
Some trivia about the current/old logo:
I quickly put it together when I first published the installer two years ago.
The "X" obviously stands for Xposed.
It's hardly visible in the resized icons, but the blood drops below the X actually read "posed".
The "deeper meaning" of the logo was to illustrate how Xposed hits right into the heart of Android, exposing functionality that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
I'm not involved in the Heartbleed bug, even tough it has been introduced around the same time.
Anyway, after two years, I think it could use a refresh. I have attached a draft, mainly based on work by @natezire71. It combines two ideas that I like a lot: "X" for Xposed, and a puzzle piece as a symbol for the modularity. As it will still take some more time until the next release, I thought I'd open this thread for improvements and new ideas.
Some guidelines:
The logo should reflect what Xposed is about. I like the puzzle idea, but there may be other good symbols.
Yet, it should be a rather simple shape to make it usable even for small icon sizes.
It should look nice on light and dark backgrounds.
The original image size should be 864x864 according to http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html (I made the mistake to apply colors only to the resized copy, therefore the smaller attachment)
If possible, please use a file format like PSD with multiple layers for the individual elements and ideally vector graphics, that makes it much easier to edit/rearrange parts later (my example isn't good again, I had to get rid of layers to line up the X with the outline).
I'll see how the reactions are, then I'll decide if I like a single logo so much that I will use it, or put up a poll for you to choose one. Feel free to post just a sketch of your ideas to test how I like it (before putting much effort in finalizing it).

assuming that you're interested in feedback as well, my vote goes toward "non-pastel" colors. i prefer saturated colors over washed out stuff, basically putting quite some time to change ugly icons to my liking this is jus throwing in my dice, hope it's welcome
Current Devices:
I9100, PAC-ROM 4.3.1 ( Formerly Omni, PA, Dorimanx, etc. )
N7000, 4.1.2 TouchWizz All Stock ( very motivating to continue flashing custom roms further haha.... )
N7100, Cyanogenmod 11, Xposed Framework ( Formerly AOSNP, PAC, Omni, PA, Devil, Thor, AGNI up to 2.7.6, etc. )
Nexus 4, Cataclysm 4.4.2, Franco Kernel r203, Dalvik & Bionic Patched, Xposed Framework ( Formerly PAC, PA, Cataclysm, Faux, etc. )
Nexus 5, Cyanogenmod 11, ElementalX, Xposed, ( Formerly Cataclysm, Franco & FKU Color Control, Dalvik & Bionic, Faux, Bricked, Chaos etc. )
Sure, feedback is welcome! I definitely have more skills in software development than in graphic design.
Hi there ! I did a quick one :3
(I'm more into FLAT DESIGN)
(I did the icon in Illustrator. Its in vector format)

What about the simpliest puzzle-shaped X symbol?
View attachment Xposed_logo.zip
Thanks! But keep in mind that icons are displayed at small sizes, e.g in the title bar of the app. I'm afraid that the details in @DD-Ripper's suggestion will get lost at such sizes. Then it wouldn't be much more than a blue circle.

@rovo89 I have an awesome idea for a new icon since then. Give me a few days to make it--Finals are on my heels.
Also, have people actually accused you having something to do with Heartbleed?
Simple might be better, yes. I prefer something clean and serious.
@gaich, your idea is nice as well, but I think it might be a bit too fancy.

This is a first draft. Suggestions, my good sirs?
EDIT: I will be honest--this isn't an original design. The "Moonshine" icon pack has an icon very similar to this. I like that icon for Xposed, but thought it could be better.
@rovo89 how about this ?
Minimal and simple ..

I agree, I like the clean style. @DD-Ripper, did you plan that that the icon should have a opaque background, possibly with slightly rounded corners, or would the background be transparent? Transparent would probably create clearer outlines, but requires outlines in the icon itself (e.g. your latest suggestion would not work on a white background).
Could you post a preview with just the icon, resized to 48x48 px (used for medium resolution), so we get a better impression what it would look like on a phone with less details?

Yeah I agree it won't work on a white bg ..here is a preview like u asked .
The image is in standard 720p res (1200x768px) and I included few more resolutions of the icon too :
Edit : I'll do the one with "outlines" in a monochromatic grey color . Wait few minutes

How about removing the hardware button on the phone? We aren't iPhones; if anything, it should be modeled after a Nexus device.

I know--but thing is, a modern Android phone shouldn't have a hardware button. That's great that it's a 2-3 year old phone. It should be modern.

But it also could be intended like Xposed being also supported by old devices.
Please list your favorite xposed for the HTC One Mini 2.
Currently the only one I'm using is Sense 6 Toolbox which is great so far.
I am currently using "tinted statusbar", xstana for changing the navbar and of course "sense 6 toolbox"

Look into the q&a section. That's plenty of guides in there. [emoji4]
No Lollipop for Mini 2? Let's just pretend to make it look like we got it
If anybody is interested, just a palliative cure for the - hopefully temporary - loss of lollipop - using xposed:
Search and use the following modules:
- Flat style Colored Bars - It will make your status bar (and navbar if you want) colored as in lollipop.
- Monster UI 4.0 - Theme your device to material design - You can theme almost everything (dialogs, main colors etc) and make it look like it's lollipop.
Enjoy

I am gonna go with 'a little bit'. I've personally seen a minor difference since the modules work in the background. But if you keep the number of modules to a minimum, you should not have any problem whatsoever

Using only the modules I have written of, there's no sensible difference, at least I haven't noticed any
I know this was possible with xposed and i understand this isnt possible with ART (yet), but is there any app or some way to do this now with just root? or even without? I love that devs are utilizing the colored status bar but almost all apps leave the navbar untouched (black). It looks so nice if they are both themed.
Unfortunately there is not, and xposed might never work on 5.0. We'll have to wait a while and see.

Hey modders, I was wondering if you can make a transparent/translucent Navbar that I can use throughout apps, I know about the immersive mode.
I feel Iv looked almost everywhere with no result as to why it can't be done or hasn't I would settle for it changing with my apps but I can't use xposed since I'm on 5.1
Thanks in advance for any help/info.
Nexus Titan 6
Guess that's a nope.
Yes, for me that's a feature that I would live to have,UV been asking about this for awhile now and I never get a answer. I don't understand why this can't be done or if devs just don't wanna tackle it. There's a modual in xposed that let's us fad the navbar but it just come back,I don't like the fade feature. I would gladly donate if someone would make this happen. Let's start a petition lol.....

Yea man, same here there's just not enough people liking the magic of it. Personally I think it adds more screen relestate for viewing. I have talked to some guys over on G+ in bitsyko layers project and apparently he is doing it. But you'll have to use layers.

You can use ultimate dynamic navbar pro to do this. I currently have my navbar transparent. Also, it expands your desktop when you make your navbar transparent so you really do have more screen real estate. Unfortunately, it won't let me post the link for it but you can find it in the play store

You can do that with udn, it hides your real navbar and put a an exact clone to replace it. Then you go to theme and make the background clear

I understand that lol. The navbar I posted is UNB's basic theme but is customizable if you purchase it and can be transparent. It's obviously not a stock hack or anything but I was confirming it's an identical solution that works for 5.1, assuming you're rooted.

I bought it awhile back, didn't do what I wanted an had 4.4 Navbar icons didn't enjoy it.
Using layers the customize my Navbar icons.
Guys, is there something new? I also want to disable the black color behind the buttons
woookay now.
1 : The devs don't owe us, anything. They can build whatever the hell they want. Plus, most roms now are some sort of kang of another. Why else would most roms have pertty much the same features then?
2: This is all on the assumption that apps don't theme the navbar, and that they have coded the app to display at where the navbar is. I've done a fully transparent status and navbar build for my nexus 4 and while it works fine on launcher, it would bug out with artifacts when using other apps or it just returned to grey.
BUT, devs are amazing so they could probably make this work. However, there are much more important things to be done before modifying on the looks of android. So please, just be patient or try and do it yourself.
Obviously you guys don't feel the way I do.... I hate the navbar. I don't use it. Such a waste of screen. Have you tried something good like pie or an alternative to the navbar? I'd suggest that. But to each his/her own.
