To install:


1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it
2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!

Next install the G2 module:

2. Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section
3. Enable the module by checking the checkbox
4. Reboot
5. Done!

Below are the forums for the two developers that made this happen, ask questions or get help with bugs here:

Thanks, I was hoping these mods would make their way to the G Pad! Hopefully I can test them out later tonight or tomorrow some time.

Awesome, remember to let the dev know if you run into issues so he can work on them. I'm excited to hear the outcome!

Sorry, download from the xda forum here [XPOSED][Nov 3] G2 Xposed - Complete Nav Bar Customization - Transparent bar - xda-developers I updated the OP

Thanks, I already sideloaded it. Works great.

No issues at all with it? This is really tempting because I hate the software menu button.

No issues at all. Used it on my g2 as well. Actually there is one issue I found. If you change the size of your navigation bar, some apps may not work. Themed for instance on my g2 won't work now because it says its not finding a supported resolution. Not a huge deal but just a heads up for anyone wanting to make changes.

Give it a try, if you find any issues report them to the developer through the help dection, if you have trouble just uninstall


FYI BlackDino is unblocking the G Pad from the play store so you can now get it from the store!

 

[bigcatman]

No issues here! Nice to finally have the recent button back.

 

[oesjmr]

I too tried this out today with success! On another note, I was finally able to pick up Sprint's version of the G2. My life is complete...at least for the next two years!

Installed on gpad 7 v41010d 4.4.2,xposed 2.7,g2 xposed 2.0.7

Only allows 3 nav keys,I can't get the default keys back.

Never realized the backup function (duh)Works great on my G2.

FC when I try button combinations from settings.
