Can't touch qs tiles in any theme on Android 14 December patch. Text color, font, or custom style. I think color is fine, but for whatever reason, on December patch all themes that touch qs tiles cause boot loops. Just be patient. They changed something in qs tiles where they may not be able to theme. Google seems to be trying to get rid of all custom theming by Android 15. As of now, chrome, contacts app, files, clock, and some others don't get themed, and just like Google being Google, they are not even following their own material 3 monet theme engine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
QS mods on PX work fine though
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it has to do with how they handle the monet theme now. So if you change or add an overlay to change to a custom style or text color it causes a system UI bootloop. Any other mods like the flashlight mod or quick pull down, etc in PE works fine. Only when you touch a theme style like outline, or neomorph, white text seems to be the cause.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
And yet everyone is angry why PX removed them
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zaxx32:
Yeah, come to think of it, I also had the monet settings tweaked in an attempt to disable it...I didn't stand a chance. smh
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
By no means am I all knowing of what Google is doing, I just see and hear things. But from what I gather since android 12 until now, little by little, theming is getting harder and harder. Most Google apps don't get themed, or they are so off with their own monet material 3 theme in their apps that they are completely off. Most users have no idea how to mod/theme/develop anything, most don't even know what apktool is, android emulator, or even android studio. They think they are losing options because devs get lazy and don't want to keep updating certain things. Not thinking that things change and stuff may be way too hard to do anymore, or that it might not even be possible anymore. I try not to complain, I have been using android since 2010 and started trying to learn android in 2011. Problem I have is I am computer illiterate, so without programs like apktool, diffmerge, etc I would be lost. Everything I know is just from self learning, some guidance from really patient devs, and back in the day, paying a decent donation to themers and devs for their hard work.

Nowadays, when someone complains, I just tell them to decompile their framework and tell me the 4 basic themes(I think there are 6 now after A11) in android. Most can't be bothered to even try, but only way to learn is to break stuff, troubleshoot, and go back and fix it. Plus there aren't many devs that don't have other stuff - family, work, friends that are always more important than android.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sawdoctor:
Really do not understand the logic. Why the bleep do Google give you the monet theming engine and then proceed to hard code their own apps to prevent them being themed? That's even worse than apple logic
[Xposed Framework Modules] Typhus_:
Oh don't worry, we won't add any of that on AOSP Mods.

This Mod is supposed to be compatible with any device running close to AOSP Android 12+ devices.

Edge Sense Plus only worked on Pixel devices with active edge sensor...so it makes no sense to port that here.

Besides it would require modding Elmyra on SystemUI and that's not easy using Xposed.

Cheers!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Techguy777:
Is there any lsposed module to control cursor with volume up and down? I used to rely on gravity box.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
As far as I know one of the nicest people is making this feature for AOSPMods. I'm waiting for him to finish so that we can add it
[Xposed Framework Modules] k1984228:
Screen off flashlight and skip music do not work for me, i've enabled the module on lsposed and rebooted

My device is Pixel 5 with A12 Apr security patch
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
You have to enable "System framework" in LSposed and reboot

Module installer does not enable framework itself (since it CAN lead to bootloops we wanted to make sure user personally asks for it) It has to be checked manually.
[Xposed Framework Modules] astroty:
Hello! I'm still on android 11 and I need to customize the 3 button Navigation Bar to open up apps/widgets on single click. I was using Gravity Box for this but since it doesn't have an A12 version I wasn't able to update.

Does this module have this remaping function or has it planned for a future release?
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Hi. Probably.

But it has to wait for a long list of other features to be added first.

As I was telling someone else, 3button navigation is the old system, and I personally think that new system is gesture for everything.

My home screen is completely empty: no shortcuts at all. But through many gestures all around the screen, everything is accessible in less than a second
[Xposed Framework Modules] astroty:
Thank you for the reply :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] mrjuniork:
First off, let me express my appreciation for this great project. This seems to be getting better and better, especially the dev support is really exemplary, kudos to that!

Now regarding my outcome of wanting to enjoy that experience as well.

After I flashed the latest zip file within MM I rebooted the first time, which was successful, but then I noticed a weird icon setup:

Spoiler content hidden.

A previous poster has already mentioned something like that. I do have a work profile, but I do not know what that icon in the middle is supposed to be.

The Module in LSPosed was successfully activated and the scope as well.

So I rebooted a 2nd time, and then after the boot animation came the black screen. It booted but the screen remained black and unresponsive. Through the vibration feedback of the alert slider I realized that it actually booted, but not in a pleasant way 😆

So I had to reboot into safe mode in order for all the magisk modules to be deactivated.

I have no idea what the culprit could be....🤔

I'm on OP9Pro, OOS 12 (C47 - BA).

Magisk 24.3 (24300)

LSPosed modules:

Xposed Edge, Pixelify and Hide My Applist.

Appreciate the replies in advance.

Cheers 👍🏼
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elkhardioui:
Do you plan to port the awesome SPECTRE in the future? I missed a lot that ! anyway thanks for your hard work
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Hi

Thanks for your kind words and complete explanation.

About the icons: since we wanted to make it easier for users, instead of one apk and a magisk module, we put everything in the Magisk module. As a result, the manager app is installed in system partition and counts as a "system app". System apps are available to every profile on your phone.

I personally have Island as my parallel profile, and I'm presented with 2 managers.

The icon in a the middle seems to be some kind of parallel apps or something like that.

You should only use the one without any icon (user 0 - owner). The other ones are not supposed to be used and also not activated automatically during installation.

Regarding black screen: I don't think it has anything to do with Xposed (you can extract apk from zip and install it manually to check if it's that.

But we have added some hidden extras that I suspect should be the cause: pixel feature packs, Google sans font and things like that.

If you did successfully use APK alone, we can try making the extras optional for next release

Cheers
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
What's SPECTRE? James bond movie?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ghisy:
Wait, is this mod being renamed "AOSP mods 007"? 😅
[Xposed Framework Modules] wardii360:
Any chance you wizards could throw in a thick track for volume slider too? For that consistency 👌
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
eager to realise the vast potential of gestures and hoping to adapt. is there a tutorial whereby old school folks can learn the use of gestures to (i) take screenshot, (ii) quick-dial a phone number, (iii) toggle power menu, (iv) clear notifications, (v) toggle split screen, (vi) turn screen off, (vii) toggle auto-rotate, (viii) toggle flashlight etc.? (such setup was possible with gravitybox on A11 and earlier android versions.)
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
There are several ways.

First off, there's an app called pie control. This gives you options for 30 actions in free edition and much more in paid version. Shortcuts can be anything. I've set it to work on my top part of the screen

Second, I also use another app called Fluid navigation control. I set it for lower 15% of my screen. It has options for swipe in and swipe up and down. I personally didn't go extreme and only set 3 actions on it: notification, screen off, OnePlus silent slider actions.

Third, if you have a pixel, you can also use taptap app, which can give you at least three actions. I've set this one for flashlight when screen is off, notification when screen is on, and call accept/end when ringing/talking

Forth, the real ability of google assistant should be used. It's super intelligent, and can make easy phone calls and messages

Fifth: tasker and tasker-like apps are perfect for custom and complicated actions. I personally use 3 apps: tasker is paid, but automagic is now offered for free and. Auto-mate is also semi paid. Easier version of them would be IFTTT. You can virtually set any kind of action in them as shortcuts to be added to your pie control, or other ones.

Edit: forgot to mention that you can ALSO make QS custom tiles with tasker and automagic and also custom desktop widgets with automagic
[Xposed Framework Modules] m0han:
and do all these work well on A12.x? gotta try pie control, at least - 50 actions is much more than what i could use.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Sorry it's 30.

Yes I'm using them on A12.1 beta

On my desktop, you don't see any shortcuts. You don't see any kind of navigation bar either. Only a beautiful photo.

Super clean, super useful
[Xposed Framework Modules] Elkhardioui:
:-) No, I mean the Audio visualizer on lock screen
[Xposed Framework Modules] cougar11:
Hello, coming from Typhus module from P6P and i loved the fact that with that module, the QuickSettings background could be WHITE instead of the default black background and worked beautifully. Now on this AOSP module, it has the option but indicates (might be buggy) i notice the lettering doesnt turn black...on Typhus module, it worked beautifully, anyway to get it to work properly...sorry if im asking for too much, just miss it from the old module.

TIA
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Let's go a bit OT

I don't think Google is doing so to fight modding.

The theming engine is now deep down into framework, so that all apps can get a streamlined theming experience. Now modding the themes means two things: you've got to go deep in framework, and whatever you do applies systemwide

So all those mods that relied on some simple overlay works now get into trouble.

Adding to the trouble, androidx and jetpack components (material 3?) are designed to generalize the UI components, and because of that, add a huge load of background codes to facilitate the stuff for app developers. My personal experience with them on Xposed is that they're very, very much difficult to mod due to them being so complex inside.

Bad news is that Android's own systemUI is now moving towards jetpack in every update, and if so, it means other Xposed mods (not only some colors) can get extremely hard, if not impossible at all

So there you have it: system is going through changes: find new solutions or die
[Xposed Framework Modules] Schroeder09:
So substratum lite themes are fine but don't change the number of tiles in the rows or change the shape of the tiles? Is that what you're saying boils down to?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
You've been around long enough that Google makes the rules but never follows them. Lol. About 5-6 years ago apps on the play store had to follow material guidelines, I still see Google apps using Holo themes...🤪
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
Shapes, styles, text color... I don't think changing number breaks anything, it's more a theme issue than a mod issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fishawy:
Correct, I modified the QS Tiles to be 4x5 on expanded and 4x2 on QQS. No issues there.

Shaping and sizing them is the issue.
[Xposed Framework Modules] travisjshepherd:
Ok, I've looked everywhere I can think of. Iconify crashes with any adjustments. I want to get rid of/hide the navbar so I can use fng because I hate stock gestures. Any suggestions?
[Xposed Framework Modules] sawdoctor:
Release v25 · Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/HideNavBar

Fixed the module not working on A14 QPR2 Fixed the issue where the keyboard bar was overlaying the keyboard on A14 (this fix may cause the hide keyboard buttons option to not work)

github.com
[Xposed Framework Modules] travisjshepherd:
I tried that, it just hides the stock gestures which suck. Are there any other options?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
Iconify crashes on what? I've been using iconify for a long time and have never had it crash.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hellslave:
On Pixel 8 Pro, the setting to hide the navigation bar is non-functioning. Any workarounds?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fishawy:
This.
[Xposed Framework Modules] travisjshepherd:
So only a couple of settings work. If I try to change let's say the text color of my qs tiles my phone goes black, it restarts and then my wallpaper comes up but literally nothing else. No lock screen, status bar, clock, nothing. And so I have to get on my computer and disable the iconify module and then my phone works again. 🤷‍♂️
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
That is not iconify crashing. That is your system UI crashing. It isa known issue on A14 December patch. Cannot do anything theme wise with qs tiles. We just discussed this in this thread which actually has nothing to do with iconify. I suggest checking in on the iconify telegram channel, even if you don't use telegram, before using iconify when updating to see if any issues come up. The qs issue is being looked at, but as of now do not use any qs style or change text color.
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I still have various apps clone themselves, including Magisk anytime I hide or unhide it. I ran this and it doesn't list any additional users:

This screenshot still shows:

"Clone Apps

Unlocked for all apps via

Pixel Xpert

: Enjoy!"

I vaguely recall maybe enabling such a thing months ago, but I don't find an option regarding app clones in Pixel Xpert right now, including using the search field. I'm on Canary 314. How can I stop this madness? :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Your screenshot doesn't necessarily mean your clone profile is enabled.

1. Since canary 307, if you open clone apps section, you'll find a 3dot menu that gives you option to remove clone profile completely

2. Check your "additional" cloned app info and see what its icon is: clone and work apps have badges on them. It might help understanding what's the source of that unnecessary clone you're referring to
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I did find that and deleted all clones yesterday; I thought I had done so before. I also tested restoring and re-hiding Magisk, and it didn't clone itself both times, so I think the issue is solved. Looks like I should have tested one more time before posting. lol

The whole thing began when I think I wanted to clone only one app, but things didn't work the way I hoped. I think Google has to iron out some app clone behavior. Hopefully they do perfect it before they get it so close that lots of us use it, and then they inevitably kill the feature. :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Well ... Clone apps doesn't just clone one app for you. I makes a brand new profile, like a new phone. Then installs the clone over there. So all system apps are automatically cloned like it or not. 😁
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ah, I see. Maybe when Android 15 comes out, I'll be tempted to test it again. ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
With a good launcher you can actually make good use of work and clone apps and enjoy 3 profiles without unnecessary shortcuts if you're up for it.

Exhibit A:
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I agree, looks and sounds like a good use - I just don't have a need for cloned communication apps.

My single attempted use of the clone feature so far had to do with an app that goes both on my Pixel Watch 2, and any other regular Android device, to communicate and alert the watch's charge level while doing so, and alert at a single pre-set %. I think the app on the watch just sits there, and you do all the configuring on the phone, and I was trying to have it alert at two different levels (75% and 76% - one % in the original app and the other % in the cloned one) for those times I accidentally miss the first alert.

It didn't work right, though, and it's not a big deal. Not worth dealing with Magisk (probably mistakenly considered a system app) cloning itself along with all the true system apps. I'm sure Google could iron out some things, and maybe Magisk, too. As a matter of fact, I should search Magisk's GitHub and see if anyone else has reported about the Magisk cloning issue.

I have GSam Battery Monitor sideloaded and configured on my watch, but the app through the watch has no way to set a notification tone for the app, so it's reasonably useless for the watch charging notifications.

Back to cloned (or not cloned) communication apps: My work, for better or worse, uses Google for everything (definitely better for some things, definitely more difficult for others). Plus, I've managed these 11 years with them not giving me a work phone, so I have no after or before work hours responsibility except when I don't mind, and I made an Automate script to automatically stop syncing my work GMail accounts when not during working hours, and thankfully Google Chat got its own Do Not Disturb functionality.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Well.... I have 3 personal numbers (2 roaming) and Whatsapp only offers one account. So it seems like I either need to buy 3 phones or find an alternative way.
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Makes absolute sense. I'm glad they've enabled a way for you to get around that issue.

Tough times for you phone sex operators... 😂
[Xposed Framework Modules] ciao99:
Hi @siavash79 , I have a pixel 7 with root and stock A14 rom.

I'd like to remove the navbar since I'm using Vivid N.G. but with PixelXpert canary 310 and later, it doesn't work.

Version 310 is able to hide the 3 icons, but the bar stays there, the newest versions seems to do nothing at all:

I tried looking at your repo and there was an issue about this, but unfortunately it's closed without solution.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
In gesture navigation settings in app, scroll to bottom and change height and width to 0.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Fishawy:
Slightly unrelated, but is that font Google Sans? Looks a bit more condensed.

Mind sharing via DM?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
I didn't change my font. Completely stock fonts.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ciao99:
Idk why, but I don't have such settings 🙄 I'm attaching my full settings of that page.

Latest canary-316
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
Are you using lsposed?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ciao99:
Yep, zygisk, and latest magisk
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
Did you enable gesture nav on your device? your previous screen you were using 3 button nav
[Xposed Framework Modules] ciao99:
Yes, no matter if I enable gestures nav or not, in the app I have that settings

But as I'm using the vivid n.g. app, i would lose the ability to go back swiping from the bottom sides if I enable gestures.

I've always used to set navigation with 3 buttons, disabling the navbar with pixelxpert until latest A13.
[Xposed Framework Modules] fijasko:
@ciao99

if you want to use 3rd party gesture app and disable the navbar without any space visible, you need to use iconify or dan magisk customized module from his telegram channel
[Xposed Framework Modules] Schroeder09:
I've been holding off on the December update because of the reported bugs. I'm still not 100% where the issues stop and start when it comes to modding the QS and QQS panel. I've got some screenshots here with questions. Are the items I've circled in RED still functioning with pixelXpert while the items in GREEN are *not* functioning with pixelXpert? The 1st pic is from the PE app and rheb2nd two pics are from iconify.
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
There seems to be a confusion here

This is PX topic. Not iconify
[Xposed Framework Modules] simplepinoi177:
I'm on canary-314....

I can confirm that "show brightness slider on QQS Panel" ticked to On will not cause a softbrick. I can't confirm "Move brightness slider to the bottom" will because I like mine on top, but I can't imagine it causing it.

But the other screenshots are on Iconify (off-topic), but just so you know those will cause a softbrick

If not custom fonts, I imagine it's font size or display size changed...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thebear j koss:
I use bold font option in display settings.
[Xposed Framework Modules] simplepinoi177:
Well...I imagine that could easily be it! But thanks for clarifying...

Sorry for the off-topic OP....
[Xposed Framework Modules] ciao99:
Iconify is working fine, but at this point I'm wondering why I'm missing some PX settings 🫤
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadowstep:
Not anymore :)

Not sure if it's in official but I'm running latest beta and I've got the option to add another account. The UI is much nicer on latest beta too
[Xposed Framework Modules] clueless_stranger:
Hey there, does the app allow to change individual system app languages (so for example, I'd like the phone app to be in English, while the rest of the system remains the same language) ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Eleo:
No. There are other app/modules for that
[Xposed Framework Modules] clueless_stranger:
Would you happen to know which app/module would allow me to do that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Eleo:
Off topic here. Please google search and research
[Xposed Framework Modules] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What's the new "Option to close the QS panel with a single swipe (Quick Settings)" called, or is it not actually in Stable 3.3.0 build 324? I'm not finding it in the Quick settings panel section, and typing "Single" in the search bar only provides the search result "Double-tap to wake phone".
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
You'll need to have QS pulldown option enabled. This is the reverse of that

[Xposed Framework Modules] STraver:
Pixel Xpert Question,

I have a custom battery icon installed on my P8P running stock January build. The icon starts normally, but after a few minutes shrinks to a tiny dot. If I reboot, the icon is restored for a short time. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
What if you rotate the screen when the icon is tiny?
[Xposed Framework Modules] STraver:
The icon still is tiny. Thanks for responding!
[Xposed Framework Modules] siavash79:
Would you try canary 315 for a while and revert?

Before that: what if you reboot, see the normal icon and connect to charger?
