I didnt try zipthemer as yet....i reverted back to complete stock d other day so I worked with what i could find:

Xposed framework + Unicon + Gravitybox + Ex-Themer

Muzei for random blurred wallpapers.

dem navigation buttons u have on d N5 rel nice though....applied using same zipthemer?

used exthemer in xposed. worked perfectly.

stev · Postby **stev** » April 22nd, 2014, 10:47 pm

i changed the nav bar by using the Ex-Themer module for the Xposed framework.

I installed Xposed:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv. ... .installer

then downloaded / installed / activated the Ex-Themer module:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/ic.lunar ... t.exthemer

also available for download within the Xposed app

then it gave me the option to tweak the nav bar within the Ex-Themer app:

here are some options:

The black bar is there for a reason. If your sensor can't take 16:9 pics and natively shoots in 4:3 it's better for it to shoot at its native aspect ratio. The full screen mode u had before was just a zoomed in image. Think of movies on your TV with black bars and then think of how they look when u manually zoom in on them to try and get rid of the bars. Sane concept

Smart launcher.

Postby **M_2NR** » April 23rd, 2014, 10:12 am

Now that s_2nr mentioned it, Google finally sorted that out. I actually rather it this way. WYSIWYG theory I rather it this way than guessing if I got that in frame or not

I swear this phone does not feel or work like it costs under 200usd. Motorola did a dam good job on this. Was gonna get the x but say I'll try this and I'm actually content. The only downfall is the camera which is not as good as the galaxy lineup. But in all other aspects it was an upgrade.
Screen, battery life, speed, build quality, speaker quality all comparable to flagships without the pips. Anybody see me with this phone in public wonders what the hell it is :lol:

What colour backing did you get?
I'm tempted to get something loud.
