OK, nobody mess with the fonts till I find out what's causing it to brick.

I just want to use xposed so I can make my phone look a bit like android l, the transparent bars and stuff. But, I tried that three times and bricked. How does xposed work? How can I change my ui without soft bricking?

If you still need /system I could upload mine for you. I wonder what you can customize on this phone without bricking it. I've already replaced bootanimation.zip, disabled shutdownanimation.zip, and took away the boot and shutdown sounds.
Nutella 1998 try using nova launcher. I heard it has the lollipop look and it runs faster
The way the fierce 2 will permaroot if you have a custom recovery. If you want an idea of how it would work you can try reading the zmax forum here or xda
Just throwing some ideas around you know

Guys, I've just had an idea. When I went to replace the bootanimation.zip, it wasn't anywhere to be found in /system/media. Rather, it was is /custpack/JRD_custres/media. While I was checking, I also found a font file at /custpack/JRD_custres/fonts with the same contents as as /system/fonts. Perhaps someone could try replacing font files in there?

I can look at it when I have /system back and my phone boots.

I tried it out. I had the xposed framework three times and my device is rooted (permanently) I tried using monster theme 5.0, it soft bricked my device (was stuck at the booting screen) just want to know if there is any way I can have the transparent bar in all apps that way without bricking...

I'll look more into xposed, possibly for the zte zmax, since that root was achieved using the same method.

Does anyone have a recorvery IMG or backup of sorts in case of a wcs (worst case scenario) the brick clunks me inside of my head...?
Sorry its taking so long my wife sent me on a frickn mission. Can't do nothing till I get back. In the mean time if anyone is at their computer looking at this forum and knows their way around adb then all you gotta do is
- adb pull /system

To fix your bricked phone you did a factory reset?

I can't ****ing use adb, I can't access external SD from recovery, I think I'm screwed.

I guess so. I was soft bricked though, I don't know about a hard brick.
