[Q] Unable to mod my stock rom via Gravity Box - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am facing several prolems in my XOLO A500s ROM (MTK 6572)
I have deodexed my stck rom + rooted but i am unable to implement the Gravity BOX fetures
Like: i can't get the data speed monitor mod,nor the clock mod and many more.
But there's custom rom which has this fuctionality to apply all the gravity box mods.
Is there something i need to change in my stock rom.
Please guide me through this.:highfive:
NOTE: I don't want to use the custom ROM because they have some problems in them some of them don't have gps on/off,another have the 1 MP camera insted of 5MP.
Another show internel memory as SD card and SD Card as internel.
The worst ROM problem can't turn on/off wifi (I managed to solve this on my own but still they have some other problems)

there is solution but it is better to use custom rom without trying to solve these.You should be edit system ui & framework to solve this

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

I tried to to replace all the files(/system/app and /system/framework) inside the stock rom with a working custom rom(in which GB was full functioning) but when i replaced th the device was working as it was supposed to work but still GB was not working after this method

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on

Well, if you are trying to say that you cannot change your brightness on custom ROMS and can change it on Stock ROM, then, it may be a bug on the custom ROMS. Almost all custom ROMS are made on the same base ROM which developers modify according to their needs and needs of the people. So maybe that's a permanent bug and will take some time to get fixed. No worry, you can always use the stock ROM. It's not so bad.

Is randomly, sometimes I tried again roms already downloaded, and happens without installing apps (fresh installation). Its rare, but is not a important thing for me, I only asks if happens to someone else. I don't know if is the UI or is the rom, the same UI works fine in stock, flashed at CWM (custom kernel in stock). Btw, any ideas?
Don't know what is exactly causing this bug.
I would advise you to do a complete fresh reinstall of the whole ROM
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
Since you say that it appears randomly. Maybe the censor was not working. Then it is a hardware issue.

In stock with an other UI. Also I tried a UI for CWM in stock and no problem , but I love the things of an custom rom. I can change brightness in Configuration, also attach a screenshot ,
EDIT: I can change brightness in the slider controller with this bug, also shows the current brightness (is hard to see), so is not hardware issue, is only visual

DOWNGRADE to KITKAT
EASIEST WAY TO REVERT TO KK
: Enable USB debugging reboot into recovery (in lollipop)
: WIPE:-- SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, INTERNAL SD, DALVIK (dont reboot)
: battery out 3 button reboot into DOWNLOAD MODE (safe bet)
: odin 3.09 and install the kk tar file
and you'll be back at kitkat
So, just checking as you didn't say, is this Kitkat or the new Lollipop rom?
If anyone has gone to Lollipop there's a chance, if the bootloader was flashed,that they can't go back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It'll just result in bootloops until they reflash Lollipop...

Wow ! Finally somone has begun providing a Custom debloated ROM for 915G.
Can the OP give a list of what has been done to the original ROM i.e. softwares removed, tweaks etc... I am use to REVOLUTION style custom roms, smooth, fast, stable and tweaked for performance without being unstable. Thanks for providing this rom.
Looking forward to the develpments here.
Well done.

Yes, fully understand. I guess you will start giving them version numbers as you develop your custom Lollipop ROM.
It takes time to add tweaks and test them out. But in the end, it should just get better.
I pop over to the Note 4 thread every now and then and see what tweaks they are coming up with, as there are a lot more Note 4 users than Note 4 Edge users.
I will defintely be keeping and eye out here and will install your next ROM and give it a go.
Keep up the great work.
No one else is really doing anything for 915G, so you're the Man !

yeah i was getting sick of no development of G and a laggy phone, guess it was an incentive to put some effort in.
at least now we are open to some of the tweaks available on xda. i'm not a dev but i will try my best.

If you need a hand testing or whatever send me a message, glad to see something for the 'g' around here. I used the zip you linked to earlier @panjaby and my phone is snappier now.
And yes, im getting fc on front camera, ive cleared the camera apps data and reset but still no good. I did dirty flash over stock lollipop so that may be the issue.

Why is there no Navigation Bar in CM13!?

So for a while now, my i9100's physical navigation buttons don't work anymore (I have dropped it and the flex connector was cut), and instead of fixing it, I was thinking if maybe there's a way to add a navigation bar in the bottom of the screen, like flashing something that would resize the screen and add the nav bar in the bottom.
I've looked up online and I only found zip files for ICS and JB, which reminded me of how the CM ROMs for JB and KK had the "Navigation Bar" option in the Settings menu. How come that's not a thing in L and N?
I also tried SoftKey Enabler, no luck.

Found this on the GB thread: - 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

It does say that but i have been able to run gravitybox(MM)on cm13.0 without any problem till now and it works well, so its totally your decision whether you want to use it or not ignoring the warning as there may be a risk,i thought you should be aware of the possibility.

Does it also work on stock Android? It doesn't require a custom ROM or some root, right?

Typically you want root to do it because you can do it directly from the device that way.
But there is the option of installing custom recovery without rooting and then using adb while in recovery to adb pull a copy of build.prop from /system, edit it then save it and adb push the edited build.prop back to /system, wipe cache while in recovery then reboot and you're good. On stock, without root, only custom recovery, it works on custom ROMs also.
Not all devices will have this option because some devices will need to unlock bootloader before they can flash custom recovery, some devices also have a secured kernel and will not allow adb to work unless you find an insecure kernel for the device. Also, not all devices have a custom recovery available to use for this method.

Z2 Custom ROM and apps (HELP) :)

Soo i have Z2 with stock rom,i now want to root it and install some custom rom....I need some advice whats the best right now custom rom with all features (Z2 camera mod tweaks,battery tweaks,audio boost...)
And i would like to have different UI i am bored of stock android And that have no bugs
I never rooted and all that more help the better What i need to do to get custom rom and all that
It's best to do some searches, get an idea of how to to root, what ROMs and mods there are. Then look for threads regarding what interests you and ask questions there.
Bear in mind there's less development now for the Z2.
Good luck

First of all you need to install latest official MM build, I assume you've alredy done that. So next step for root and recovery is in this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/tool-rooting-23-5-1-291-supersu-t3437280.When you get root and recovery you need to backup your TA partition bcs of DRM keys(use google about that). Guide is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../tutorial-backup-ta-partition-to-drm-t2234627 After that go to flashtool and follow process for unlocking bootloader. Now you can install custom kernel too. Only active thread with developers is https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951 and its very confusing but subscribe there and follow thread. I personally use stock rom with mods without xposed, and everything i have written you is from my personal experience about 2 month ago. So good luck, and if I helped you press thanks
Android 6.0.1 is on my Z2 D6503 and I know to root and unlock bootloader thats easy,but i need to know what to install after that ?
Which ROM is best optimized with most features(audio boost,battery life optimized,camera optimized) or i need separatly to install this audio boosts,flashlight boos,camera optimized apk and all that ?
If there is no best say at least some good ROMs with these features i said and that i can install features if ROM doesnt have it ?
And i want to have different UI i am sick and bored of stock android

I installed all mod's manually on my stock MM, but you can find something like this is best option (my opinion) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-kryptonian-rom-awesomeness-v1-t3484534
Can this ROM support this mods on xda for cam,audio,flashlight ? Or it needs to uptade or change some first ?
Only it is stock android look is there something to install some mod to change look ?
And can i just root and unlock bootloader and install this mods for camera,audio and all that?

Every Stock modified rom supports any mod that you mentioned above ( some have it already pre-installed).
If you want to change the look on stock rom install xposed or flash mods like Pixel mod..
You dont need UB to install any mods, UB only to install Custom Roms like CM,Paranoid....

Yes you can
For looks some of them need debloat check before flashing it\
Camera audio mods, display mod, quick charge all can be flashed just with root and recovery.
Assuming your rom is Stock

[REQUEST] Stock Honor 7 PLK01 Camera App

Hey, I am using CM 13 Rom and since all camera apps are such a trash I would like to use stock Honor 7 camera. Can you please someone post the APK file if it is possible? Thanks
Edit: after some research I found out that camera app need some pther libraries. Does anyome of you have a flashable zip? + Does anyone has compass app (same as camera - flashable zip)?
Stock camera app is yet to be ported. Don't know about compass though.
I think this one will work :

I took it from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/development/cm-style-wbt-t3524522
I noticed only a problem with this zip file where in super night mode, u will not have other choices of effects. If u still remember, the stock camera will let you choose from a few effects in super night mode. Try to flash the zip file and tell me here back if u found the option im talking about

Hi
I tried that and it flashed fine but I don't see the camera available anywhere in the phone, I only see the Google one
Thanks
This is for stock rom. It won't work on cm.

The app name is Camera. Have u tried to search the app in the app drawer ? How bout Apps in settings? If the zip file is flashed n installed correctly then it should appear in apps in settings. Btw, the rom u used is based on which kernel version? Like B380 or B330. Maybe the zip file i provided is for different version

Yeah, perhaps. Btw, i flashed mine on cm style by wbt. If im not mistaken, cm roms have a few minor problems like camera and wifi right? Is it stable already for daily use?

cm style by wbt is a stock based rom. It's EMUI which aims to look like cm.
I used free cm rom by papsi as a daily for a few weeks and it was plenty stable for daily use (if you don't mind inferior battery life to emui). Wifi worked fine, the camera was buggy.

It's nearly impossible to port the stock EMUI camera to other stock based ROMs, because of closed source code and - as you mentioned before - due to the fact that the libraries causig problems. The camera from the Honor 7 is simply too deep interested into EMUI. :silly:
