So guys I figured I would start a new thread to see if we could make our g5 great again.
So Obviously we don't have root. Don't let that get you down.
A lot of these no root mods are well known, some not.
Most of these can be found on play store.
1st app is a must is an app called status. It no root changes status bar icons bat gauge and other status bar tweaks. It has a few flaws but works great
Biggest flaw is first screen when display turned on orig status bar is displayed but is quickly overrode once unlocked or another screen is displayed. Force closes a lot but never stops overall 4.5 out of 5 in my book....
2nd. Is only if you are using VS987 on gsm like me on Cricket. After a couple months of searches and trial and error I got MMS to work. I assume cricket and AT&T are nearly the same . On top of my reg apn for data I had to use a second apn Fot instance My reg apn is NDO And second for mms starts as AIOMMS.
Then with a few tweaks in textra I finally sent and received mms on data and wifi.
3rd I ditched the clock on status bar and installed 3d flip clock like on old HTC sense. IMO better than googles weather and clock wiget.
4th I use pitch black walpaper and icon changer but have not done it yet to my g5.
Other good looking no root apps I have seen is system ui tuner has to be enabled with adb.
Wakelock detector now has a no root setup.
Some guys say a blue light filter helps with screen retention. Any one use one on theres?
What are some of the no root apps you guys use?
So after more playing around ADB reboot recovery = no command hold power and tap up to get to stock recovery......
Again lets make our G5 great again.
