Did you try and didnt work ?? I think it works on both...

It works, but is better to retheme new one, sometimes changes occur on xmls and because they are depandant of each other, unexpected errors occur, mainly on apks that run idle on background...;-)

I've been looking for something like this for a while, but now I can't get it to work. I made sure that the system was mounted r/w with an app from the market.. I granted su permissions. Then when I tried to copy mms.apk into system/app... it didn't work. Can someone please help this noob out on how to properly proceed with this...

I installed this, and the background in my conversations is gray, and the text is black.
And I want white text on black background. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

yeah. no one has figured out how to change that background yet unfortunately. believe me, myself and a few others have looked several times and come away with nothing basically.

[Q] Phone rebooting upon /system modifications?

I am brand new to android and recently rooted my M8. I was trying to change the /system/customize/acc/default.xml to hide the NFC icon and when I attempted to save the file the phone rebooted and later asked if I wanted to send HTC an error report.
I have tried this with several file managers which all have root priveleges. It seems as though this happens when trying to modify anything in /system. Am I missing something obvious?

I did the mod that exists currently and while it makes the icon transparent it still takes up space on the status bar. I was trying to set the nfc_show_icon setting to zero. Nothing is screwed up I just can't change the file.

yea i tried to install xposed and it did the same thing, at least i didn't have to restore my backup, but curious that the phone reboots and restores when system is modified...

the m8 has system write protection, wait for an insecure kernel/module to be made or use custom recovery and adb to make changes within /system

[Q] How to install Xposed Framework on Xperia M?

Hey people,
How would I go about installing the XPOSED FRAMEWORK on my Sony Xperia M? I am on 4.3 15.4.A.9 or whatever it is. I have Titanium Backup Pro, have backed up. My boot loader is locked. I really can't afford for the device to brick/bootloop. Does anyone have a successful way? Because I want to tweak my System Bar as well...
Any help would be appreciated.
-cheesedude.

I've never had and problem with installing Xposed as you should do.
1) Install the Xposed .apk
2) Open Xposed and tap Framework
3) Make sure Installation Mode is on Classical (change it if it isn't)
4) Tap Install/Update, let the framework install.
5) Reboot

Latest version of xposed framework.

Hi. This actually is my first post, so Yay.
I rooted my phone using adb fastboot thing and I installed xposed. And now, I don't know what I've done, but I'm not able to install any module. In fact, no apks either.. Any help appreciated!

Reflash the stock firmware, and root again, according to your bootloader status.

Never happened to me before. All I did (locked bootloader) is to have full root, install Xposed Installer, install the framework, reboot, install any module, then activate and reboot. Never had any issues.

Change of plans ;P
I actually want to flash a custom rom, but I'm not able to decide, because of the large variety.. Please give me some links, guys? I'm sorry for troubling you; I feel like a pain in the neck..
EDIT : if what I just said was absolutely irrelevant to the topic, please shoot me :\
Sent from my C1904

Hey man,I don't think you need a custom rom,I've done everything I want without downloading a custom rom,however before doing anything make sure you have full root (the ability to edit system files not just view them), if you don't have full root anything you do will get your phone to reboot and fc,,
First of all I have cwm,deodoxed rom,unlocked bl but I mainly use them.to install mods like the m2 systemui but I think there's a way for locked bootloader and odexed by using flash gordon or something like that (the method is explained in the mod's thread).
Moreover is this my phones systemui, I've installed xposed without any problems
1. Download xposed installer
2. Pressed classic install
3. Rebooted my phone
4. Download 4 main mods
A. Gem xperia xposed
Using it for: the transparent status and navigation bar, the menu mod, the extra hidden apps button, the kitkat thing when you open an app and the navigation and status bar gets shaddy
B. Tinted status bar
C. Advanced power menu
To add a reboot button
D. Im really sorry I've forgotten its name but it's used for changing the navigation bar icons but I Uninstalled it for a simple reason, in stock xperia icons in opera mini a 4th button is added and it's hidden in other apps, but while using this mod I had to show the 4th (menu) button all the time
Ps: I dont reboot after modding systemui or luncher I simply restart it
If you like what I've done ill post the method for using gem xperia and tinted status bar

Sorry I forgot to attach these Images, this is the final result
If I helped you don't forget to press the thanks button

Thanks, all of you! I'll try redoing this after my exams...

Ok guys, thanks for all your help. Now i am just worried about a soft brick or bootloop. If this happens, ho would I rocover from thats WITHOUT losing any data? Because I really can't break it, it's too expensive.

Before doing anything
-download the ftf file of the latest software for your phone
-install flashtool and drivers.
-Enable USB debugging and
-backup your phone (a normal backup no need for root apps and all that stuff)
-Learn how to flash an ftf
If you have an unlocked bootloader all you need is cwm and a nandroid backup and of course flashtool in case anything got wrong and you messed the kernel
Don't worry, I bricked my phone many times

Okay guys, I realised what the problem was. I was using a Screen Filter, so I wasn't able to install anything. In case anyone else comes with this problem, make sure you pause the filter or blacklist the package installer (most filter apps do this on their own; mine apparently didn't :\).

[MOD][BOOT ANIMATION] Blue Oneplus boot animation for Oneplus 6T

Hello everyone,
I previously had the Oneplus 3 and I upgraded to the 6T. But from the OP3 I had the blue Oneplus Colette boot animation. I haven't found a viable replacement for my 6T. So I have done it myself. I modified the boot animation to a medium blue (#0073ff). I hope you guys enjoy it.
I attached a gif of the boot animation below.
Installation Method:
This process requires root
If you have magisk installed
Go into magisk manager, magisk modules
Install from storage
Choose zip and flash
Reboot and enjoy!
Any feedback is welcome
Important
The boot animation has the old OnePlus logo. I don't have the 8/ 8 Pro, so I can't make one with the new logo
This is no longer the case. I have both boot animations with the old and new OnePlus logo.
Don't extract the bootanimation.zip to change the desc.txt file! And install that as the new bootanimation! IT WON'T WORK! Best way to change the position of the boot animation is in the Issues section
Issues
If you got into any issues, just remove the magisk module.
If the position is wrong... Sorry for that as the desc/ positioning is set for the OP6T.
No worries tho as you can fix it yourself!
Uninstall the magisk module!
And as u have ROOT, go and find your original bootanimation.
Copy and it to back it up into your internal storage and rename it with something like original_bootanimation.zip
Go into the .zip file, open the desc.txt, find what are the numbers on the first line! Take a note of it!
Then reinstall the magisk module
After rebooting, install the Jrummy bootanimation app (Bootanimations for superuser) from the play store
Then go into manage current bootanimation and tweak the bootanimation to same the numbers as your original bootanimation first line in the desc.txt
Reboot and check.
If it went well then well done! U can stop here or continue. Up to you
The new issues is that u should back up and tweak the magisk module, so that u got a copy of that bootanimation with that position and don't have to keep tweaking the bootanimation every time u switch to a ROM or phone.
So, go into system and find the new bootanimation (still bootanimation.zip)
Copy and paste to internal storage. Because u renamed the original bootanimation zip file, both zip files should be there and not replaced.
Then extract the boot animation magisk module
Go into system -> media
Delete that bootanimation.zip file and copy + paste the one u just copied into internal storage
Then go back till u have the module files and folders
Select all and compress/archive them into a zip file
Take a copy and backup that zip file! You now made ur own magisk module
Now uninstall the bootanimation magisk module in magisk manager
Reboot system and then install the magisk module u made
Done, u got your own magisk module and can keep reusing it with the exact position u want
If you're having issues installing both the magisk module and the bootanimation .zip files.
The is a last resort, which is to install Boot Animations for Superuser app from the play store and it does need root, here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations
Before going through with this way of installation, make sure u have a copy of the desc.txt files/values as we need them later on.
Open the app
Press the plus symbol
Find the bootanimation.zip file u want to install
Press install
Once it has installed
Go back to the home menu of the app
Press plus symbol
Choose manage current animation
Using the saved copy of the desc.txt file, open the file
Now change the width and height (only one of them as the other changes accordingly) to match the values in the desc.txt file
Press apply
Now reboot to check the bootanimation looks right
Done, you now got your new bootanimation with the exact width and height
You can go back and change the FPS, but idk if it'll work correctly. Also, u can go and find this modified bootanimation .zip file and use it for your own magisk module!
Updates
27/1/21 I have created a Magisk module for this and it works great in my experience
29/09/21 I have previously got the new OP bootanimation for OOS 11 and it has the new OP logo. I did tweak it with the blue and have successfully made a magisk module for it. It works perfectly! Ps. the desc/prefs are set for the OP6T!
I have also renamed the files and put [MAGISK], to make it obvs that these are magisk modules and people don't flash the actual boot animation!
I have now attached magisk modules and just bootanimation zip files for:
Stock OP boot animation with old + new OP logo
OP boot animation in NASA colours (only old OP logo)
Blue OP bootanimation with old + new OP logo
13/10/21 I have added a additional method in issues section for users who've been unable to install the bootanimation for both magisk module and manually changing it in system/media
Enjoy

Thanks allot for the reminder, I completely forgot I bought jrummys rom toolbox years ago, worked fantastic for both fonts and boot animation.

Damn JRummy! This was like gingerbread days wasn't it? Those were the days for Android modding. Nothing like cyanogenmod, running init.d scripts,and endless overclocking lol

I have been continuing the project. But I have to reassure you that this will take time as this is for free and I am using my free time to do this. I have another question. Because you want the white blue do you want that for the OnePlus logo as well? I was thinking of using the red and blue you given to make it look more like the NASA logo. As that is your theme. But it will be quite weird during boot, where the Oneplus logo is white, then it changes to blue and red suddenly for the boot animation. Let me know if you want this change, otherwise, I'll just keep it white. But that will be weird as well as the white transitions to blue
Here's my idea. Reply pls

Only ones i know of you can use without root are the included ones under styles and wallpapers. There are also a few magisk mods for specific fonts but of course you would need to be rooted with magisk to use those

Get Font Changer, it's a really good Magisk module. All you need is to be rooted with Magisk and have a terminal emulator like Termux. It can change emojis too.
