Change Log:

• English
• Italian
• Spanish

Known issues:

• The customization is not applied correctly in the Settings section.
• The circle of FAB button on the main screen doesn't apply color customization.

ATTENTION!

The Riru module v22+ from Magisk, doesn't detect Xposed correctly, therefore it's recommended to use version 21.3 so that everything continues to work correctly.

As I communicated a long time ago, now the Hooks update system (now called libraries) will not continue to update automatically. Updates will now be made on each version independently, and there will be no updates for all versions.

To update the libraries, you must enter the Updates section and click on the Update libraries option. At the moment, there will only be libraries for stable versions and beta versions published on weekends, however, in the link published below, I will publish all available versions of libraries in each version of KMod FWA.

List of available libraries: https://github.com/Krowne/Libraries

Download Themes:

Place their themes on your SD card or internal memory, in the /KMod/Themes route. Make sure the directory exists before placing, if doesn't exist, open the module for create directories.

FAQ:

Q: I installed an update, and KMod FWA is not recognized by Xposed.
A: This is usually normal on some devices.

Disable KMod FWA from the list of Xposed modules, perform a normal restart (not quick), enable KMod FWA again in the list of Xposed modules, and do a normal restart.

Sometimes, disable and enable KMod FWA the list of Xposed modules, and do a normal restart is sufficient.

Q: Why it doesn't work in some versions of WhatsApp?
A: This only works in official versions of WhatsApp higher than that specified in the requirements.

It may also be that your Android version doesn't have integrated customization, and that is the reason why there is no customization in WhatsApp.

Q: Installed and activated the module, why the changes do not apply to WhatsApp?
A: Maybe you have not successfully activated the module, deactivate, activate, and then restart of device (normal restart, not by software). You may also be using a version of WhatsApp not compatible with the module.

Q: Can't download themes from the cloud?
A: At the moment this option is not available, you can upload your themes to external and share servers.

Q: Where was it saved, or where should I save new themes to load them into KMod FWA?
A: Used to place their themes on your SD card or internal memory, in the /KMod/Themes route. Make sure the directory exists before placing, if doesn't exist, open the module for create directories.

Q: I have changed the application icon, and no changes are applied.
A: After changing the application icon you must restart your device. If it still doesn't change the icon, you may be using a launcher who does not support changing the application icon (such as Nova Launcher).

Q: I have updated KMod FWA and several options have stopped working.
A: If this happens, then go to KMod FWA Settings, select Delete cache, and press Apply changes in KMod FWA.

Q: I have activated the option to see a Toast of the people who connect and disconnect, but it does not work.
A: These notifications will only be displayed when:

1. Log in to WhatsApp.
2. Enter a contact's chat.
3. You are inside WhatsApp.
4. Do not keep the online status hidden.

When these four conditions are met, then you should see when the contacts you have entered into your chat are connected or disconnected.

If you comply with the four conditions, but leave WhatsApp, force the closure of the application or enter KMod FWA, you must repeat the four conditions to make it work again.

Q: I have problems related to privacy options.
A: See this post for more information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75503030&postcount=1772

@Krowne Wow finally you release it. But why you remove support for whatsapp 2.12.5?

It will continue to support this version, but I will not follow developed further for this version of WhatsApp for being too old, and I will focus on developing current versions, because the versions 2.12.5 and 2.12.30 soon stop working, and I have no way of proving their development without risk of ban.

However, you still can download KMod 1.00 for WhatsApp 2.12.5 to 2.12.30.

How do you change the color of the navbar/statusbar?

Currently this option is not available, but you can use the Tinted Status Bar module to carry out this work.

That's normal, whenever you install, delete, enable or disable the module, you must of restart the device, otherwise you may have unexpected FC.

Great work, run perfect on Xperia Z2 5.1.1.
The possibility to change color of "Writing..." in Chat screen, is implemented? Or I not find it, as well as "online status" in Conversations screen.
Thanks!

EDIT: Restore a saved theme not work. Says "loaded theme", but no apply the changes. With the file explorer, I see that themes are correctly in "Kmod/themes/".

I did. Many times. I could not get rid of the FC for Mirrorlink. It only FCs once after reboot. Not subsequently.

Yes, you can do so from two sites.

Customization > Interface > Header > Header > Color (Assign the color of the letters of the main header) and Active Set Color (Thus, the color is applied to all headers).

You can also do this directly in the section:

Customization > Conversations > Header > Status

If the themes are not applied, you can try several things.

• I made sure to have root permissions when open the module.
• Check that WhatsApp is closed, if it's not closed, you don't apply the change correctly (you can click the Apply Changes button located top right).
• Make sure the module is active in the module list Xposed.
• Whenever you install, remove, enable, or disable the module, you must restart your device.
• Load the theme Stock, and then load another.
• If all previous fails, delete the module and install a clean install by checking the above steps.

I did. Many times. I could not get rid of the FC for Mirrorlink. It only FCs once after reboot. Not subsequently.

Always after rebooting the device you must expect this to finish loading, because if he gets immediately KMod this gives FC. This happens to me too, and I do not know why, I think it's because he has to finish loading Xposed.
