GravityBox - tweak box - Xposed module for devices running Android 4.1/4.2/4.3 ROMs
Version 3.7.2 [JellyBean]
Version for KitKat is available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049
READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
Hey!
After countless hours of coding and searching for proper entry points to inject code to incorporate fixes and mods, here it is:
GravityBox - a complex Xposed module targeted for devices running Android 4.1/4.2/4.3, which turns vanilla ROM into
feature-packed "non-flashing" custom ROM.
Originally, this module was designed for MTK6589 devices which lack custom ROMs built from source due to MediaTek closed-source policy.
Later on, it was adjusted to support other (non-MTK) devices running vanilla or close-to-vanilla AOSP ROMs.
Introduction
The app utilizes amazing Xposed framework coded by recognized
developer rovo89 which, briefly, provides interface for injecting code into any app, including system services allowing modifications of applications and system services at run-time. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any device having vanilla Android 4.1/4.2/4.3 (ROM close enough to AOSP).
This project wouldn't be possible without rovo's Xposed framework, so huge kudos to him.
Feature highlight
GravityBox provides 2 main groups of features:
Fixes - help to fight typical MTK6589 bugs like:
--- Date&Time settings crash

Compatibility
Some words about GB's main concept. One thing I didn't like about xposed modules was that it was always necessary to reboot a device after making a change to some option. Since GB's main concept was to turn MTK devices running stock ROM into something that's close enough to a feature-packed custom ROM, I had to take a decision - for it to be as much comfortable as possible and to really behave like a custom ROM, I had to design it to support most of the preference changes to be done on the fly without needing to reboot a device. While this sounds nice, it also brings couple of "drawbacks". For changes to be made on the fly, it is necessary to make some preparations when device starts. This means, even if you don't use the particular feature, the necessary preparation/modification is already there and is waiting for the user to come and change that option.
This means it is not possible to "completely deactivate" particular feature if it causes trouble on your device or if you installed GB because you want to use only one particular feature you can't find elsewhere.
This results in issues on ROMs/devices that have parts that are diverting from default Android implementation too much, or are running heavily modified custom ROMs.
If you experience weird issues after installing GB, even if you didn't activate a particular feature, it is not because of GB is broken, it is because it is not compatible with your ROM. It is very similar as if you installed ROM built from source for Nexus to some Xperia device - it won't work.
Next thing, GB is a complex module and is not suitable for 1 purpose scenario. This means, if you are running custom ROM built from source (CM, PAC, ...), and you are missing a certain feature, your best option is to go ask creators of those ROMs to implement those additional features. Supplementing missing features on well-known custom ROMs built from source by installing xposed modules (especially complex ones) is definitely not a good way to go and can cause more trouble than good.
And finally, the last. GB being a complex module, it shouldn't be combined with other complex modules often racing for the same goal. They can conflict/fight on the same playground and there's no way you can deterministically say which one's going to win.
They can even lose both.
So in summary:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (AOSP)
- supports majority of MTK6589, MTK6577, MTK8389 devices
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 4.1/4.2/4.3
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, ETC... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
- I will not implement any exceptions that will adapt this module to a specific custom ROM. Please, do understand, it is unmanageable.
- I will not provide any support for devices violating these compatibility rules
Prerequisites
To use this module, the following conditions must be met
- You have a device running Android 4.1/4.2/4.3 that's based on AOSP (vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android)
- ROM must be rooted (XposedInstaller requires root to be able to install framework into system)
- You have working custom recovery allowing you to make a backup before installing Xposed framework
GravityBox has been developed and tested on THL W8 5" XHDPI device (MTK6589)
Installation
If you are using my GravityMod2 ROM, don't follow these instructions to update!
There's a flashable ZIP for updating GravityBox in GravityMod2 thread!
These instructions are only for those not running GravityMod2 ROM!
1) Backup your current ROM in custom recovery. I am serious. Don't skip this step.
2) Get the Xposed installer from Download section from Xposed official thread (the latest version is typically available at this link: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk)
3) Install and run Xposed installer and follow the instructions to activate Xposed framework
4) Reboot. If device doesn't boot that means that the Xposed framework is not compatible with ROM you are currently
running. You don't need to continue with the next steps. You will have to restore your ROM from backup.
5) Download, GravityBox.apk attached at the end of this post, rename it to GravityBox.apk and install it
6) Make sure GravityBox app is installed to internal memory. If it was installed to phone storage or external storage,
move it to the internal memory, first
7) Run Xposed installer, go to Modules menu and activate GravityBox by checking the checkbox
8) Reboot
9) Launch GravityBox from app drawer or from Xposed installer and set options as desired

Reporting bugs
If you experience problems with certain feature, provide the full-detailed info that can help me
to reproduce the bug and attach debug.log file you'll find in either:
/data/xposed directory in case of Xposed Installer version prior to 2.3
or
/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log in case of XposedInstaller 2.3+
In case you experience SystemUI crashes or other apps Force Closing, or device soft reboots, attach logcat from time
crash occurs. (use adb logcat *:E or your favorite logcat app from Play Store).
Please, don't attach big logs. Only the portion where error is clearly seen.
Disable all other xposed modules before reproducing bug to make sure it is really GravityBox related
Remember, this app was developed and tested on one particular MTK6589 device so it is not guaranteed that
it will work flawlessly on yours.

Support development
Coding, maintaining and supporting this project costs me a lot of my precious time. If you find this project useful, you are welcome to support its development via donation. This form of support is meant to compensate for my time dedicated to the community + eventually, help me to afford newer device to keep up with AOSP evolution thus providing continuous support as Android evolves. Thanks!
Info about premium features and PayPal transaction ID verification system
1) Those who supported development via PayPal donation can use their PayPal transaction ID to unlock premium features.
As of v2.9.5, there's one premium feature: Backup/restore of GB settings.
2) If you contributed to the project by providing translations, code fragments, or by any other way
you can apply for a free transaction ID by contacting me via PM.
3) Be aware that there's a system that can identify potential transaction ID
abuse. E.g. when one ID is being used by more users. Such IDs will get blocked automatically.
This can also happen when you previously exposed your ID in public forum and other users took
advantage of it. If this is the case, contact me via PM so I can issue new, special ID.
In case you own more devices, you can use one transaction ID on up to 10 of them.
4) If you are using your own custom builds of GB for personal use, you will get hash mismatch
upon verifying your ID as verification system accepts requests only from official releases of GB.
If you want to be able to verify IDs with your custom build, contact me via PM so I can setup
a special hash for your build.
If you are using a custom build that you provide for broader group of users (e.g. in a custom ROM),
it is necessary to ask for new hash everytime your new custom version is released for public use.
These rules are based on mutual trust so please, do not violate them.

I am presuming that because I already have v3.0 of gravitymod installed and have gravitybox in my system menu that I do not need to do the above
No. In gm2, that's already integrated.
You don't need to install anything while on gm2 not even gravitybox.apk.
This would replace one installed in the system already and it will stop working.
This thread is mainly for those not running gm2.
I've just installed it succesfully on my zte v987(4.2.1),great work,i hope more mods to come soon
can you add to wake up the screen with the volume buttons?

Yes! It would be very useful. It works really nice on zopo 810/H7500+. Thanks for your job!
Very good application!
It works perfect in phone Miz Z5 and fix for calendar works perfect. It was something that irritated me ...
Now we just need to have the transparent statusbar.
Thank you very much for this great application
Edit: you could remove the "R" of roaning a fix?
Stay tuned for more.

If any Danish speakers can suggest a better translation for "tiles" than "felter", which I'm not completely happy with, I'll change it for the next release.
Hi,
Trying to install GravityBox.apk on 2 different devices but getting error message "There is a problem parsing the package"
Is file intact? Any ideas?
Cheers
The file is OK. I checked it just now.
What devices and what version of android?

@ OP
Installed it on my Canvas HD(mt6589) but unable to get Advanced Power-off menu working..:/ Any suggetions.?
Power-off menu is hooked to Power-off.
So if you press Power-off a dialog will popup to choose from power-off, reboot or recovery.
I would suggest adding a last menu item in GravityBox, named "About" so one could check version, writter, maybe a link to this thread... :good:
Yes. I was thinking about it already but I haven't had enough time because I dedicated all my free time to bring in new features
I am also thinking about adding "new update" notifications.
New version available.
Updated translation files are welcome. You'll find the current string XMLs for different languages here:

GravityBox - all-in-one tweak box - Xposed module for devices running AOSP Lollipop
Version 5.6.0 [Lollipop]
Version for JellyBean is available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v3-1-4-tweak-box-android-t2316070

The app utilizes amazing Xposed framework coded by recognized
developer rovo89 which, briefly, provides interface for injecting code into any app, including system services, allowing modifications of applications and system services at run-time. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any device having vanilla Android 5 (ROM close enough to AOSP).
This project wouldn't be possible without rovo's Xposed framework, so huge kudos to him.

- supports Zopo Speed 7 running Lollipop 5.1 and potentially other MediaTek devices running Lollipop 5.1
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM,CATACLYSM,OMNI AND THEIR OTHER CLONES... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
- I will not implement any exceptions that will adapt this module to a specific custom ROM. Please, do understand, it is unmanageable.
- I will not provide any support for devices violating these compatibility rules

As is detailed in the OP, GravityBox is designed to be used with stock, vanilla AOSP ROMs, not OEM and custom ROMs. In other words, Google Play Edition and Nexus devices. All OEM ROMs (TouchWiz, Sense, Xperia, Moto, etc.), and custom ROMs (CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, etc.) differ significantly in their code base from pure AOSP. And as most of these ROMs are closed source, and the developer does not have access to all the devices, it means that GravityBox is not designed for, or tested on, these devices and ROMs.
Even though the Moto devices look like stock Android, they are as much custom under-the-hood as TouchWiz or Sense. It's just that Motorola decided to implement a skin that resembles stock Android, rather than a custom skin like Samsung has done. But the changes to the core code mean that many of GravityBox's features will not work, and actually do cause some well-known bugs. The same goes for ParanoidAndroid, there are just too many changes to the core code for GB to be reliable.
If you choose to use GravityBox on a ROM it was never intended to be used with, then you do so at your own risk, and without any support. You should always have a good nandroid backup and be familiar with ADB and Fastboot. At any time, a ROM update or GravityBox update may cause any/all GravityBox features to break, and worst case, send your device into a bootloop. This is just an unfortunate reality of using a mod on a device it wasn't intended to be used on. Any user who wishes to improve or fix bugs on their unsupported ROM is more than welcome to download the source code for GravityBox (links to Git in the OP) and work on debugging and fixing the bugs on their own.

Xposed Package Name: com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 5.6.0
Stable Release Date: 2018-09-23
Created 2015-02-22
Last Updated 2018-09-23
Changelog 5.6.0 - 23/09/2018
- QuietHours: additional enhancements and redesign
--- rules for ligts/vibrations/sounds/ringer whitelist can now be set for each time range independently
--- manual mode has its own set of rules that are independent of automatic time ranges
--- initial ringer whitelist for newly created time range is inherited from manual mode settings
--- added option for controlling current mode directly from the QuietHours settings
--- reorganized settings
--- !!! data structure changes render existing time ranges incompatible - need to be reconfigured !!!
- Updated Ukrainian translations (thanks to burunduk)
- Updated Turkish translations (thanks to Fatih Firinci)
- Updated Russian translations (thanks to gaich)
Complete commit history for 5.5.2->5.6.0
What's missing in version for Lollipop 5.1 compared to 5.0
- unlinked ringer/notification control volumes cannot be controlled within Sound¬ification settings, only within expanded volume panel.
What's missing in version for Lollipop compared to KitKat
- No ring targets in lock screen - obsolete in Lollipop as there is no ring security screen available
- No ring targets in navbar - Google replaced search panel with completely different one
having simple circle with one target. It's not using GlowPadView anymore. In order to implement ring targets
as we know them from Kitkat would probably be to completely replace stock search panel with the one from Kitkat
- Brightness control currently doesn't work in lock screen as status bar is covered with keyguard panel
- and maybe some other smaller features I forgot to mention, mainly since they were obsolete in Lollipop
Full commit history can be found in project's github.
Other remarks
- Although LP comes with native "quiet hours", I decided to keep UNC Quiet hours.
There's a freedom of choice to either use stock Interruptions system or GB's quiet hours
- Battery style and percent revised to support new status bar which has 3 modes: normal, keyguard, header
- Brightness control now works with Auto adjustment turned on the similar way as brightness slider in quick settings
- Low battery warning changed as there is no Low battery warning dialog anymore
- Ascending ringtone has been reworked completely (thanks to CM12)
- million of other small adjustments - you'll find out for yourself
Awesome. Will try it. Thanks much...

Waiting for Xposed on stock Lollipop was totally worth it, instead of shifting to custom ROM.
Great job, first release, and already works so well.
@C3C076
Hi, thank you soooo much...
I found one small bug, I set Data traffic monitor to right, but on lock screen is in middle...
And few error logs...
@C3C076: Might want to link to the Xposed for Lollipop thread in the OP instead of the legacy thread.
Also, grats on making the front page news again and featured on Android Police.
Good job making it in such short timespan. Can't wait for the volume panel transparency and quicksettings config. :good:

READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
Introduction
The app utilizes amazing Xposed framework coded by recognized developer rovo89 which, briefly, provides interface for injecting code into any app, including system services, allowing modifications of applications and system services at run-time. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any device having vanilla Android 8 (ROM close enough to AOSP).
This project wouldn't be possible without rovo's Xposed framework, so huge kudos to him.
Feature highlight
--- Lockscreen tweaks
--- QuickSettings tile management with additional tiles
--- Statusbar tweaks
--- Navigation bar tweaks
--- Pie controls
--- Power tweaks
--- Display tweaks
--- Phone tweaks
--- Media tweaks
--- Hardware/navigation key actions
--- GravityBox Actions - interface for 3rd party apps
--- Notification control (per-app notification LED/sounds/vibrations)
--- Fingerprint launcher
--- Advanced tuning of Framework and System UI parameters
... and many more
Compatibility
GB's main concept is to make most of the preference changes to be done on the fly without need to reboot a device to achieve custom-ROM like experience.
This means it is not possible to "completely deactivate" particular feature if it causes trouble on your device or if you installed GB because you want to use only one particular feature you can't find elsewhere.
This results in issues on ROMs/devices that have parts that are diverting from default Android implementation too much, or are running heavily modified custom ROMs.
If you experience weird issues after installing GB, even if you didn't activate a particular feature, it is not because of GB is broken, it is because it is not compatible with your ROM.
It is very similar to a situation when you installed ROM built from source for Nexus to some Xperia device - it won't work.
GB is a complex module and is not suitable for 1 purpose scenario. This means, if you are running custom ROM built from source, and you are missing a certain feature, your best option is to go ask creators of those ROMs to implement those additional features. Supplementing missing features on well-known custom ROMs built from source by installing xposed modules (especially complex ones) is definitely not a good way to go and can cause more trouble than good.
GB being a complex module, it shouldn't be combined with other complex modules often racing for the same goal. They can conflict/fight on the same playground and there's no way you can deterministically say which one's going to win. They can even lose both.
So in summary:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 8 (AOSP)
- officially supports devices/systems it was developed and tested on
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS MODULE WAS NOT EXPLICITLY DESIGNED FOR
- I will not implement any exceptions that will adapt this module to a specific custom ROM. Please, do understand, it is unmanageable.
- I will not provide any support for devices violating these compatibility rules
GravityBox [O] has been designed for and tested on
- Nexus 5X running stock 8.0
- Nexus 5X running stock 8.1
- OnePlus 3T running official OOS 5.0.1
Reporting bugs
If you experience problems with certain feature, provide the full-detailed info that can help me
to reproduce the bug and attach error.log file you'll find in:
/data/user_de/0/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log
In case you experience SystemUI crashes or other apps Force Closing, or device soft reboots, attach logcat from time
crash occurs. (use adb logcat *:E or your favorite logcat app from Play Store).
Please, don't attach big logs. Only the portion where error is clearly seen.
Disable all other xposed modules before reproducing bug to make sure it is really GravityBox related
Remember, this app was developed and tested on one particular device so it is not guaranteed that it will work flawlessly on yours.

Info about premium features and PayPal transaction ID verification system
1) Those who supported development via PayPal donation can use their PayPal transaction ID to unlock premium features.
As of v2.9.5, there are two premium features:
- Backup/restore of GB settings.
- Ultimate notification control
2) If you contributed to the project by providing translations, code fragments, or by any other way
you can apply for a free transaction ID by contacting me via PM.
3) Be aware that there's a system that can identify potential transaction ID
abuse. E.g. when one ID is being used by more users. Such IDs will get blocked automatically.
This can also happen when you previously exposed your ID in public forum and other users took
advantage of it. If this is the case, contact me via PM so I can issue new, special ID.
In case you own more devices, you can use one transaction ID on up to 10 of them.
4) If you are using your own custom builds of GB for personal use, you will get hash mismatch
upon verifying your ID as verification system accepts requests only from official releases of GB.
If you want to be able to verify IDs with your custom build, contact me via PM so I can setup
a special hash for your build.
If you are using a custom build that you provide for broader group of users (e.g. in a custom ROM),
it is necessary to ask for new hash everytime your new custom version is released for public use.
These rules are based on mutual trust so please, do not violate them.

Important info about GravityBox and Oreo
Preferences and SeLinux
Although there is a limitation in current beta of Xposed Framework which prevents modules from reloading preferences within Android process,
GravityBox has been redesigned to overcome that limitation. This means enforced SeLinux is fully supported and thus it is not necessary to run Permissive.
Navigation bar tweaks on Pixel devices running proprietary Google SystemUI plugin
As I currently don't own any Pixel device I didn't have a chance to test nor adjust related features for such scenario.
I cannot tell how their plugin affects the way module works but let's wait for some feedback.
It is also possible that Navigation bar tweaks is not the only place where incompatibilities may show up.
Expanded Desktop in Oreo 8.1
Expanded Desktop is currently not fully supported in Oreo 8.1 (seems to be working fine in 8.0, though).
Despite there are almost no differences in related Android system parts between 8.0 and 8.1, I didn't manage to fix it, and I am currently not sure what's causing a differnt behavior.
There are only 2 modes available in 8.1 - Hide navigation bar and Semi-immersive (which is also temperamental)
Data activity indicator for Cellular icon
Due to changes in stock signal cluster layout type it is no longer possible to put activity indicators on top of a signal icon.
Therefore this feature has been redesigned to place narrov view containinig indicators right beside the signal icon.
WiFi is OK - there were no changes in layout type.
Notification drawer style in Oreo 8.1
Custom wallpaper/color for notification drawer is currently not supported in 8.1.
QuickSettings management
QS management has been massively redesigned for compatibility with stock SystemUI tuner back in Nougat and the same approach is taken for Oreo.
GB doesn't provide tile reordering functionality anymore. It only provides interface for enabling/disabling GB specific tiles and setting their protected mode (and other settings).
There are 2 checkboxes for each tile in the list - the first checkbox is for enabling/disabling tile, the second one is for protected mode.
There are also several stock tiles in the list with only the second checkbox - for setting protected mode (prevents using tile when device locked).
SystemUI tuner shows only those GB tiles that are enabled in GB QS management.
Use stock tile management to drag and drop GB tiles to desired slots.
Settings from Nougat
It should be possible to restore backup of the settings made in N version of GravityBox.
Full history of changes for transition from N to O
https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/compare/v7.0.6_n...v8.0.0-beta-1_o
Nice work!
Yeah Doe!!!!
Looking forward to test this! Great job!
I just tried this on my Google Pixel on Android 8.1 and I know you were asking this in the OP but all of the navigation bar tweaks I tried work perfectly! Every single tweak I tried works. If you would like me to test anything out for you on my Pixel, let me know.
Thank you so, so much for this. You have no idea how extruciating it was waiting for Xposed to get ported to Oreo and then GravityBox. It is my most-used mod and hoenstly the only thing keeping me using Android. You have no idea how much better of a phone experience I have with GravityBox.
You are amazing. Thank you again.
Absolutely fantastic work mate! So cool we can enjoy the great GB so soon!
Battery icon position not correct please fix this
I "finally" worked out all of the bugs with the N rom I am using on my OnePlus 5 and then you release this most awaited gem today... HALLELUJAH! :highfive:

@C3C076 is there any way to get some type of extended SystemUI tuner function? Like how on stock you can get rid of certain status bar icons. Custom ROMs have all icons exposed so you can get rid of them. Like the VPN key for instance. Thanks so much for this. Definitely gonna be making a donation ?

You can define action for each enrolled fingerprint independently. Thus you can use different fingers for different actions + one quick tap action.
It's just my "must have" what a release! Thank you!

Kudos to dev for this. Some of the problems i am facing:
Selecting battery bar to show at bottom edge shows just below the status bar.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fNzk1RuMuz675FdteahCUNjXNJaKhqLe/view?usp=drivesdk
Data traffic monitor hiding status bar icons when selecting right as location.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ZQ8Tacy6HwesCBmZnd9WbS1ui6fPI4b/view?usp=drivesdk
On overriding navigation keys action for back and recents i lose vibration feedback.
Power key long press for torch on screen off doesn't work.
When i toggle system network speed indicator icon the system battery icon is flashed for a little bit and then cancelled.

Some questions:
The location tile provides battery saver, devuce inly, high accuracy. But google has removed these types in android pie. Does the option work as their names suggest or they have all the same function??
Some requests:
Additonal quick settings row.
Separation of ring and notification volume.
Oneplus 5 Stock OOS
Thanks again for your awesome work. It speaks for itself that so many people have been waiting for exactly this module to be ready for Pie, right @sjamie? So GB and XE are ready, are you?
Anyway, I have literally gone through almost each and every possible setting and I have to state, that GB has never worked so flawlessly before. Not even under Oreo with latest xposed.
I am running stock OOS (9.0.4), Magisk 18.1, latest EdXposed and latest riru and Pi Kernel.
At last, I'd be nice if you could add a PayPal link to the OP, so I can send another donation. Coz through the app the amount is limited to 3 euros and that is simply not enough!
Wow… great efforts
One note
Advance reboot menue does not work. Nothing happen when activated
Thanks a lot
Thank you OP. This projects encourages lot of users to stick with android.
No bugs thus far for what I'm using.
First of all, a big thank you for making this work on pie!
This is the one module that I had no hesitation getting the premium unlock. This is a must have, at least to me!
Okay so I gave it a try as soon as I saw the post of the first beta for pie, and as expected (for note 9) it was working partially. I'm not encluding any logs for now because I'm not expecting you to fix stuff for samsung at the moment or even afterwards (let me know in case you are thinking of supporting One UI someday down the road). So this is more about informing you how good it is on note 9 (korean version N960N), as a tester.
-when I have music visualization enabled and whenever I lock or unlock the screen, the sound effect of V4A stops and return as the visualization appears (poweramp playing music as I'm doing this). The same happens when toggling visualization for navbar; as I'm toggling it on and off the sound effect turns off very very briefly and comes back on. It's like a refresh thingy.
-advanced power menu is not working at all (even after reboots).
-circular battery is working but the percentage inside it looks weird sometimes and sometimes the stock battery icon appears alongside the circular one.
-data traffic indicator works without issues.
-status bar brightness control works only when adaptive brightness is turned off (I guess that's normal?).
-download progress seems to work only for google play downloads (I guess it's normal as well?).
-trusted Wi-Fi works like a charm.
-pie control works but I haven't tinkered will all the options. So far so good.
-one last thing, the color of icons/indicators from gb on status bar always look grey-ish? No matter the status bar color change. So sometimes they are hard to see.
That's all I have tested for now.
You are awesome!

Thanks, being beta bugs are to be expected. I started with what I use most frequently - will add as I check
Fingerprint actions not working on any of the 5 selected slots (be it apps/shortcuts) - "No app/ action assigned" toast message pops up. Toggle enabled and rebooted. Also disabled from Installer, enabled and rebooted. Didn't help

Edit 2: Surprisingly, quick tap action works for both shortcuts and apps so it's not a fingerprint issue
Edit 3: Toggling config-fingerprint-support-gestures from false to true and reboot didn't help
Don't know if i'm doing something wrong but i can't get past the framework check at the beggining. Using EdXposed and Magisk 18.1

READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
Introduction
The app utilizes Riru and EdXposed Magisk module which uses original Xposed Framework API created by rovo89.
!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!
This module utilizes EdXposed Framework which is still in early development stage and may contain bugs or might not be fully compatible with system of your Android device. I take no responsibility for any issues arising from using GravityBox with EdXposed and strongly recommend creating a full backup of your device before activating the module.
Requirements
- Magisk v19 or later
- Riru v19.5 or later (Magisk module)
- Official EdXposed release (Magisk module)
(CHOOSE WHATEVER VERSION WORKS BEST ON YOUR SETUP - EXPERIENCE SHOWS THAT DIFFERENT VERSIONS WORK DIFFERENTLY ON DIFFERENT DEVICES/SYSTEMS)
- EdXposed Manager (Application)
- Avoid using Resource hooking support if possible (Can be disabled in EdXposed Manager settings)
Installation
This procedure assumes you have working Magisk installation.
1) Install Riru and EdXposed modules using Magisk Manager
2) Install EdXposed Manager app
3) Reboot and open EdXposed Manager app to check if EdXposed works and is active
4) Install GravityBox and enable it in EdXposed Manager
5) Reboot
Required whitelisted packages
In case you use blacklist/whitelist functionality of EdXposed make sure all the following packages are whitelisted (not blacklisted respectively) for full GravityBox experience.
- Android System (android)
- System UI (com.android.systemui)
- Call Management (com.android.server.telecom)
- Download Manager (com.android.providers.downloads)
- Phone (com.android.dialer or com.google.android.dialer)
- Phone (com.android.incallui) (OxygenOS only)
Note that using Blacklist/Whitelist mode in EdXposed Manager may have side effects such as Zygote not
being able to access module preferences due to SELinux restrictions which results in relevant features not being enabled even if
they are enabled in module settings. This is EdXposed limitation/glitch
Feature highlight
--- Lockscreen tweaks
--- QuickSettings tile management with additional tiles
--- Statusbar tweaks
--- Navigation bar tweaks
--- Pie controls
--- Power tweaks
--- Display tweaks
--- Phone tweaks
--- Media tweaks
--- Hardware/navigation key actions
--- GravityBox Actions - interface for 3rd party apps
--- Notification control (per-app notification LED/sounds/vibrations)
--- Fingerprint launcher
--- Advanced tuning of Framework and System UI parameters
... and many more
Compatibility
GB's main concept is to make most of the preference changes to be done on the fly without need to reboot a device to achieve custom-ROM like experience.
This means it is not possible to "completely deactivate" particular feature if it causes trouble on your device or if you installed GB because you want to use only one particular feature you can't find elsewhere.
This results in issues on ROMs/devices that have parts that are diverting from default Android implementation too much, or are running heavily modified custom ROMs.
If you experience weird issues after installing GB, even if you didn't activate a particular feature, it is not because of GB is broken, it is because it is not compatible with your ROM.
It is very similar to a situation when you installed ROM built from source for Nexus to some Xperia device - it won't work.
GB is a complex module and is not suitable for 1 purpose scenario. This means, if you are running custom ROM built from source, and you are missing a certain feature, your best option is to go ask creators of those ROMs to implement those additional features. Supplementing missing features on well-known custom ROMs built from source by installing xposed modules (especially complex ones) is definitely not a good way to go and can cause more trouble than good.
GB being a complex module, it shouldn't be combined with other complex modules often racing for the same goal. They can conflict/fight on the same playground and there's no way you can deterministically say which one's going to win. They can even lose both.
So in summary:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 10 (AOSP)
- officially supports devices/systems it was developed and tested on
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS MODULE WAS NOT EXPLICITLY DESIGNED FOR
- I will not implement any exceptions that will adapt this module to a specific custom ROM. Please, do understand, it is unmanageable.
- I will not provide any support for devices violating these compatibility rules
GravityBox [Q] has been designed for and tested on
- OnePlus 7 Pro running OxygenOS 10
- Nexus 5X running Pixel Experience 10
- Pixel 3a running Google OS
Reporting bugs
If possible, please use Github issue reporting interface for reporting bugs.
If you experience problems with certain feature, provide the full-detailed info that can help me
to reproduce the bug and attach error.log file you'll find in:
/data/user_de/0/com.solohsu.android.edxp.manager/log
If you use different manager or there is no log file present, use ADB to capture log: adb logcat -s EdXposed-Bridge
In case you experience SystemUI crashes or other apps Force Closing, or device soft reboots, attach logcat from time
crash occurs. (use adb logcat *:E or your favorite logcat app from Play Store).
Please, don't attach big logs. Only the portion where error is clearly seen.
Disable all other xposed modules before reproducing bug to make sure it is really GravityBox related
Remember, this app was developed and tested on one particular device so it is not guaranteed that it will work flawlessly on yours.

Multilanguage support
Volunteers are welcome to translate GravityBox to other languages.
Simply download this file: https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/raw/q/GravityBox/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
Use Notepad++ to edit strings and then send me edited file so I can include translations into next release.
Source code
GravityBox is opensource. Sources are available in my gihub: https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/tree/q
If you're a dev and have some ideas for additional features, feel free to fork it, work on it and send the pull requests.

Support development
Coding, maintaining and supporting this project costs me a lot of my precious time. If you find this project useful, you are more than welcome to support its development via donation. This form of support is meant to compensate for my time dedicated to the community + eventually, help me to afford newer device to keep up with AOSP evolution thus providing continuous support as Android evolves. Thanks!
Info about premium features and PayPal transaction ID verification system
1) Those who supported development via PayPal donation can use their PayPal transaction ID to unlock premium features.
As of v2.9.5, there are two premium features:
- Backup/restore of GB settings.
- Ultimate notification control
2) If you contributed to the project by providing translations, code fragments, or by any other way
you can apply for a free transaction ID by contacting me via PM.
3) Be aware that there's a system that can identify potential transaction ID
abuse. E.g. when one ID is being used by more users. Such IDs will get blocked automatically.
This can also happen when you previously exposed your ID in public forum and other users took
advantage of it. If this is the case, contact me via PM so I can issue new, special ID.
In case you own more devices, you can use one transaction ID on up to 10 of them.
4) If you are using your own custom builds of GB for personal use, you will get hash mismatch
upon verifying your ID as verification system accepts requests only from official releases of GB.
If you want to be able to verify IDs with your custom build, contact me via PM so I can setup
a special hash for your build.
If you are using a custom build that you provide for broader group of users (e.g. in a custom ROM),
it is necessary to ask for new hash everytime your new custom version is released for public use.
These rules are based on mutual trust so please, do not violate them.

Working pretty well right off the bat. Thanks! Gotta have my status bar brightness tweak!
OP7pro
Some tweaks are superfluous on OOS 10, but of course this mod isn't exclusive to OOS.
Haven't yet tested if enabling both stock and GB tweaks simultaneously causes hiccups
Humble request eventually. I've been trying out OOS gestures; it would be cool to add tweaks to those such as slide and hold back gesture for custom actions.
Great work!

Design changes
- Navigation bar dimension changes require reboot
EdXposed related recommendations
- For OxygenOS, make sure to use version with a Bootloop fix from here: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/pull/354 (YAHFA version seems to be more stable)
- Keep Resource hooking support disabled in EdXposed Installer settings if possible, as EdXposed doesn't seem to be stable enough in that part
Download
https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/releases/tag/v10.0.0-beta-1_q
Module will be available in Xposed Repository as soon as it is considered stable enough.

i just installed this and made a few mods on my status bar etc. do you happen to know if this cause battery drain?
If I set both navbar heights to 0 and reboot everything seems fine, until I go into landscape then back to portrait, the navbar comes back in portrait (it still remains hidden in landscape)
LOS 17
Moto G3
Edxposed 4.5.5 sandhook
Gravity Box V10 beta-1
While ik custom rom support isn't guaranteed, LOS17 codebase at the moment is very close to AOSP and they've yet to add any navbar customization
Also the reason for me to set navbar heights to 0 instead of disabling the navbar outright is that the back gesture of Q relies on the navbar being enabled while the bottom swipe gestures don't need a navbar to work
Any possibility of a 4G/LTE toggle on Q. As well as a toggle for LTE+ as some carriers disable said icons in certain regions.

GravityBox is designed with care regarding battery consumption, so no, there shouldn't be any unexpected battery drain nor long-term wake locks.

There was config_show4GForLTE in GravityBox / Advanced Tuning / SystemUI available in Pie but it's no longer there on Q so it seems like it was removed in Q.
Regarding navbar 0 dimensions. Hard to tell as I can't reproduce on OP7Pro.
This feature overrides framework config values so it is quite mystery to me that different values could be read from config after orientation change.
Resource config value replacement happens no matter what orientation, and always when config values are referenced.
Also, when your device has vertical navbar in ladnscape, you must set "Navigation bar width" to 0 instead of landscape height.
Edit: also try what kind of results you get when activating Expanded desktop using "Hide navigation bar" mode.
(Expanded desktop mode can be set in Display tweaks. Expanded desktop mode can be activated either from the power menu or using QS tile
Current Expanded desktop state is persisted across reboots).
Is that padding normal ?
and WiFi with Vibration Mode disappeared

Try switching to the Yahfa backend. I had the same issue as well initially but after switching all was fine. It seems to be far more stable compared to sandhook.

thanks will try as soon as I hopefully fix the bootloop, didn't consider the YAHFA version because was reported to be for OOS. will see thanks again!
Hi,
Just installed Q version but at the same time that XPRIVACY which caught me in a bootloop...
Now it's fully working on my Pixel 3A running QP1A.190711.020.C3, EXKERNEL and XPOSED 4470 (last canary).
I'm also becoming a donator since I've used your plugin since my 1st android device running kit kat!
Thanks a lot!
Edit : Been using Sandhook version.
First bug : after enabling more steps to audio control, process android.media gets a lot of forced closed.

EdXposed passes SafetyNet and uses Magisk, so yes it is 'systemless'

Because you didn't read much regarding EdXposed compatibility. The stable release of EdXposed is still not compatible with Q. You need to use the fix zips which are available under Pull Requests in GitHub page of EdXposed.

GravityBox - all-in-one tweak box - Xposed module for devices running Android 12
Version 12.0.0S
OP/REALME USERS ! USERS ON ANDROID 12! READ BOST 2 BEFORE USING THIS MOD! TO AVOID SYSTEM UI CRASH!
READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER! I DO NOT TAKE CREDITS FOR THIS WORK. THERE WAS ONLY ONE CHANGE TO MAKE GRAVITYBOX RUNNING ON A12! WHETHER IF EVERYTHING ISN'T WORKING OR NOT THAT'S OUR GOAL TO FIND OUT!
Introduction
The app utilizes Riru-EdXposed Magisk OR LSposed module which uses original Xposed Framework API created by rovo89.
!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!
This module utilizes EdXposed Framework which is still in early development stage and may contain bugs or might not be fully compatible with the system of your Android device. I take no responsibility for any issues arising from using GravityBox with EdXposed and strongly recommend creating a full backup of your device before activating the module.
Requirements
- Magisk v21 or later
- Riru v23 or later (Magisk module)
- EdXposed Manager (Application)
- Avoid using Resource hooking support if possible (Can be disabled in EdXposed Manager settings)
-LSposed (highly recommended since it doesn't break safetynet)
Installation
This procedure assumes you have working Magisk installation.
1) Install Riru module in Magisk Manager
2) Install and run EdXposed Manager app and download Riru-EdXposed module v5.1.3.x or later (currently Alpha/Canary)
3) Install downloaded Riru-EdXposed module in Magisk Manager
5) Reboot and open EdXposed Manager app to check if EdXposed works and is active
6) Install GravityBox and enable it in EdXposed Manager
7) Reboot and profit
Required whitelisted packages
In case you use blacklist/whitelist functionality of EdXposed make sure all the following packages are whitelisted (not blacklisted respectively) for full GravityBox experience.
- Android System (android)
- System UI (com.android.systemui)
- Call Management (com.android.server.telecom)
- Download Manager (com.android.providers.downloads)
- Phone (com.android.dialer or com.google.android.dialer)
- Phone Services (com.android.phone)
- Phone (com.android.incallui) (OxygenOS only)
- Keyboard app (e.g. Gboard) in order to be able to use "Volume key cursor control" feature
It is strongly recommended to use Whitelist functionality for better performance as EdXposed hooks only smaller amount of processes.
In case of running multiple Xposed modules consult their whitelist requirements with the devs of module.

Support development
Coding, maintaining and supporting this project costs me a lot of my precious time. If you find this project useful, you are more than welcome to support its development via donation. This form of support is meant to compensate for my time dedicated to the community + eventually, help me to afford newer device to keep up with AOSP evolution thus providing continuous support as Android evolves. Thanks!
Info about premium features and PayPal transaction ID verification system
1) Those who supported development via PayPal donation can use their PayPal transaction ID to unlock premium features.
As of v2.9.5, there are three premium features:
- Backup/restore of GB settings.
- Ultimate notification control
- Advanced Tuning
2) If you contributed to the project by providing translations, code fragments, or by any other way
you can apply for a free transaction ID by contacting me via PM.
3) Be aware that there's a system that can identify potential transaction ID
abuse. E.g. when one ID is being used by more users. Such IDs will get blocked automatically.
In case you own more devices, you can use one transaction ID on up to 10 of them.
4) If you are using your own custom builds of GB for personal use, you will get hash mismatch
upon verifying your ID as verification system accepts requests only from official releases of GB.
If you want to be able to verify IDs with your custom build, contact me via PM so I can setup
a special hash for your build.
If you are using a custom build that you provide for broader group of users (e.g. in a custom ROM),
it is necessary to ask for new hash everytime your new custom version is released for public use.
These rules are based on mutual trust so please, do not violate them.

Works with LSPosed I've updated op
Updated OP with new version. To avoid confusion all about links will go to this thread instead of R version. (This includes all translated languages as well)
This is too avoid bugs being reported on wrong thread
Wow, great to see this!

I never got it to work on stock camera. Even though manuel test mode it works
Tried this on my Pixel 6 Pro but it's not working. LSPosed logs say "GravityBox you are running is not designed for Android SDK 32". Anyone has an idea what can be done? Thanks
