Version 2.5.7

READ THIS POST CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER

Hey!

After countless hours of coding and searching for proper entry points

to inject my code to incorporate fixes and mods, here it is:

GravityBox - Xposed module targeted for devices running Android 4.1/4.2/4.3

Originally, this module was intended for MTK6589 devices. Later on, it was adjusted to support other - non-MTK devices - as well.

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.

This means, it allows to modify behaviour of applications and system services at run-time. No need to

hack apps the usual way by decompiling, hacking and recompiling, anymore. 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:

Compatibility

- 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 /data/xposed directory on your phone.

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.

Multilanguage support

Volunteers are welcome to translate GravityBox to other languages.

Simply download this file: https://github.com/C3C0/GravityBox/r...es/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/C3C0/GravityBox

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.
