I will be doing more in the area of themeing and maybe decompiling to add some mods. But to be honest g2 tweaks adds all the essentials so no real reason to change that. As for the status bar transparency with the Xperia launcher,there are other variants that do have that support but this is the most advanced of them all. Has as many features as nova launcher.

Okay...so....is it NO GAPPS (in title) or is it debloated GAPPS (in OP)?
Which gapps package you recommend, pico or?

Edit: line 234 of build.prop (lcd density = 200). Also can lines 231 & 232 be deleted, you took out itson????

I know you worked hard on this, just trying to help you get all of your ducks in a row. Will test later and give feedback

itsonuid.apk is still in the system in priv-apps. i did remove connections optimizer...what garbage that is. i will edit the op for the true lcd density at 200. could have swore i left it at 220,although 200 is even better lol. if you add gapps you will eventually get nagged for the zv6 update. but any aosp 4.4.2 gapps package should work ok.

you mean the direction arrows for the browser? not following you exactly. if its the browser back forward arrows to the left of url bar. honestly i dropped the stock browser in there pretty much for same reason i did the stock file manager...just to be there until users can add their options for those two. most people use a third party browser and file manager. so those are get by until you add your own options which can be deleted after adding what you want to use instead.

Once attachment picture is selected, there is a white arrow on each side of the photo for chosing previous or next photo. At the top of the pucture was an arrow and a X.
Since switching DPI around just now, i can't get the arrows to return (stupid BS). Maybe after another reboot they'll show back up.

  • Rebooted (see attached pic - shows boot.img being installed??)
  • Flashed boot from OP (just in case, i had uno kernel installed)
  • Rebooted
  • Set phone up
  • ##72786# to acquire data connection, then activate from settings (hands free didnt start)
  • Installed Xposed framework
  • Reboot to recovery to restore data nandroid (something happened during this step - no log file :()
  • Automatic phone factory reset (GRRR!!!)
  • ##72786#, blah blah again
  • Installed Xposed and modules
Now its stable. Seems pretty rock solid. Great job @Curtis1973. There a few things I'll change to make it more me (thats just me :) )
Will this run stable with uno kernel?
