That's a great idea for WhatsApp. I just started using that app with my girlfriend, and noticed that I would still get audio alerts even when I enable quiet mode, like when I'm in important meetings and such. I'm glad to hear that your workaround was successful, I will be doing the same with my device now. :good:

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

You're very welcome! I'm glad to be able to give back to the GravityBox community, however that may be. Sometimes it might be in the form of donations to help support continued development, other times it's in the form of helping others out on this thread.

We all have to remember that not everyone who comes to this thread is at the same level of experience or understanding about these devices, as well as the internal workings of app development. What many of us may take for granted, for example why an app that was designed for Nexus doesn't work on a Touchwiz device, there are many others who don't understand the difference. They're both Android devices, after all.

So I try to gather what I can from a person's post, and estimate their knowledge-level based on their tone, phrasing, etc. and then decide how I should reply. I've worked in various customer-facing positions for most of my professional career, and if there's one thing I've learned about customers, is that the happy ones are usually pretty quiet, and the unhappy ones are the loudest. And contrary to what many believe, not all publicity is good, and those unhappy users often can create quite a bit of bad publicity if they feel they've been wronged.

So while it may seem that there are lots of people who don't read the OP, and that fault falls squarely on them, these same users are also the ones who can damage the perception of GravityBox, not necessarily intentionally, but it could happen, if they then take to complaining on other threads or sites, that it doesn't work or causes their device to crash, etc.

So yes, while it can be frustrating that half the posts on here are from users who haven't read the OP, I try to take on some of those users to explain why they are experiencing the problems they are, politely remind them that they should have read the OP, and hoping that they will digest this information in a positive and receptive fashion, and it will quell any negative publicity they may later generate elsewhere.

In the end, GravityBox has become such an amazing and invaluable piece of so many of our devices, and if there's some way I can help to better promote it, even if all that means is to help reduce negative perceptions by people with incompatible devices, then I still feel that is time well-spent.

Keep up the great work, C3C076! :good:

I use whatsapp+ instead of standard one, and never had problems with QH.

It's another solution, and you can configure your whatsapp to reach extreme you can imagine... Even appear as not connected while using (useful when a lot of people has your number, as my students, and don't want let then know you are available!)

[Xposed Framework Modules] trjlive:
Except for one major downside with WhatsApp+, it's currently functioning in violation of US copyright law. The developer of that app has already been served with a DMCA notice for reverse-engineering secured APIs, which is why it has been taken down from XDA several times, while WhatsApp continues to pursue legal options against the app's developer.

It might have some nice options, but for apps that decide to go around the proper way to license and acess the API, and instead get on the bad side of the very company of who's data they are trying to access, there is no guarantee it will continue to work on any given day.

So that said, while it might work for you today, it's not really an app we should probably be promoting here on XDA. ;)

[Feature Request] split SMS & hangouts notifications in UNC.

I like my custom vibration pattern for SMS but I don't want any vibration for hangouts. Currently in UNC, options for the hangouts app covers hangouts messages and SMS together, not individually.

Latest update of hangouts apk allows user to change notification tones and vibration on/off for SMS and hangouts separately so hopefully you can find a way for UNC to see the 2 different notifications and allow the user to customize them.

Gravity box navbar

Hi. I need to know, why gravity box with the new update of kitkat doesn't change the navbar dimension? It's everything update (gravity box, xposed). Thanks for the answer
[Xposed Framework Modules] GBP85:
What device are you running what ROM? If you do not fit the compatibility guidelines in the first post, then there is very limited to no help available.
[Xposed Framework Modules] trjlive:
I am almost certain you using a device and/or ROM that is not supported by GravityBox, which is why the navbar isn't changing sizes. Many custom and OEM ROMs use their own code to implement the navbar, instead of using the standard Android method. Since GravityBox only interacts with the standard Android navbar method to change the size, it will have no effect on a ROM that implements the navbar differently, and might even cause problems with the non-standard navbar.

This is why it's always important to

read the OP

of a thread

BEFORE

you download and install an app to your device, so you know what it can and can't do, and what devices it does and doesn't work with, and what potential pitfalls you may encounter along the way. The developer of GravityBox has made a significant effort to document as much detail as possible to help nearly any scenario users may face. Please read it.

Many people choose to use GravityBox on unsupported devices and ROMs, but in doing so, you are taking on an increased risk of additional bugs, both now and with future updates, and potential bootloops. You also take on the role of providing your own tech support. GravityBox source code is available (links in the OP) for any user wishing to debug and modify the code on their own to work better with their unsupported device.

I would also advise you to become familiar with ADB and Fastboot in the event a future ROM and/or GravityBox update sends your device into a bootloop.
[Xposed Framework Modules] snake333:
Sorry i forget it. I have a nexus 5 with paranoid Android 4.4.3. Gravity box changes the dimension correctly before the update to 4.4.3.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aavvaallooss:
Do you know that you're on a custom ROM not supported by GB???????????????????????????????
[Xposed Framework Modules] trjlive:
Well, as I mentioned in my previous reply, future ROM and/or GravityBox updates may break any and/or all GB functionality when running it on unsupported devices/ROMs. That's just the unfortunate reality of using GravityBox with a ROM it was never designed to be used with. If you want any further support with GravityBox, you'll need to install a stock ROM on your Nexus 5.

The 4.4.3 Nexus 5 stock factory images are available on the Google Developer's site for free download by anyone, and can be flashed back to your device to return it to stock. Then, you'll have no problems when using GravityBox. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] snake333:
Sorry but you wrong. There's gravity box (gb) and gravity box (kk) and also support kk 4.4.3. And everything works fine. Only the navbar dimension doesn't change, thats all. Before the 4.4.3 it worked the navbar dimension too
[Xposed Framework Modules] fbf2201:
I don't know what you are talking about...

There are GravityBox (JellyBean) and GravityBox (KitKat). Both are only supported with pure AOSP. Paranoid Android is no pure AOSP. It doesn't matter, that it worked with 4.4.2.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sherlock5545:
They might have changed something with their newer builds and it's now conflicting with Gravity Box. Since you aren't using a supported firmware, there's nothing that can be done unless you go back to stock.

There is a feature in GB, that you can set a customzied carrier text (in the notification bar or on the lockscreen)

Is it possible to have it show some locale set by tasker or any automation-app? for example it would be nice to have it show the battery-percentage or the calendar week or the temperature,...
[Xposed Framework Modules] comebui:
My Initial assumption was not entirely correct. after installing Elementalx, It did improve the heat/battery issue but didn't fix completely. As always I was getting 1+ days of standby time .. but If I went on screen I wasn't getting more than 2:30 hrs of screen time.

I did a bit more digging... Now I know which app is actually conflicting with GB although I don't know why.

The app is Tasker.

Here is the story...

I have couple of profile and 4 tasks in Tasker ... nothing too complicated.. Basically what I have achieved is this;

1. Toggle task Outside (which sets brightness, wifi off, data on, sets a var Outside true)

2. Screen off profile(if display off) (if not outside, wait 20 sec turn off wifi set low brightness, kill few apps)

3. Periodic update (if Screen off Profile active) (every 15 min turn on wifi and do a sync data)

Now what I observed is when GB is disabled Tasker works as it should I see every 15 min (if the screen is off) wifi is brought up everything is synced and then turned off,

But when GB is active everything in tasker work except the periodic update. It does switch of the wifi but doesn't bring is back online every 15 min. (this is the part I can't figure out why?)

I turned on GB and Disabled Tasker.... It was the coolest of the the time I tested. Just like when my N5 was without GB.

Now I don't C3C has time.. but if he is willing I can get the logs of the above scenario if he wants to investigate... Let me know what you need so that I can provide... I don't want to impose on you .....But it would help my curiosity if I know what is happening from a developer stand point :).
[Xposed Framework Modules] unroot_:
Sorry for OT: I wouldn't put too much effort into turning wifi and mobile data on/off. mobile data isn't used, when wifi is on and wifi itself shouldn't drain much more than 5% of you're battery. maybe you should just try the smart radio feature that comes with GB. The repeated wake-up will do a lot more harm to your battery-life than anything else.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Bazilli:
I got strange problem. When i change battery style: Circle battery with percentage UI lags a lot when phone is charging. I gues it has something to do with circle animation because when i change style: Kitkat battery with percentage UI is ok even when charging.

My phone i use is Motorola Moto G with stock Kitkat.

Sorry bad english.
[Xposed Framework Modules] postulio:
I tried this module but unfortunately it conflicts with my Rom (SlimKat build 5, KK, on galaxy Note 2, T-mo).

The problem I'm having is that the navigation bar appears after every boot, regardless that it's disabled in Gravity Box as well as in my Rom settings. To removed it I have to go into Rom settings and enable/disable it, but it'll just reappear after reboot.

It's a pretty annoying bug and sadly forces me to uninstall the module.

Hope this gets fixed at some point, I'd love to use this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aavvaallooss:
Read the OP. You are NOT compatible
[Xposed Framework Modules] frikakwa:
Moto G... stock KK... not GPe, not AOSP!

This thread is becoming more and more messy despite of recurrent OT copy-paste! Incredible! :eek:
[Xposed Framework Modules] trjlive:
GravityBox is not compatible with the Moto G, with the exception of the Moto G Google Play Edition purchased directly from Google. The standard Moto G purchased from Motorola or carriers is not running a compatible ROM. Even though the Moto ROM looks like stock Android, it is just as much customized under the hood as Samsung's Touchwiz or HTC's Sense. It's just that Moto decided to use a skin that resembles stock Android, rather than applying an entirely new look to the OS. But this means that in the eyes of GravityBox, you are running a custom OEM ROM, with too many changes to the core code, and you will experience issues if you run GravityBox.

And the most high-profile of those issues, is people with Moto devices experience problems when trying to implement any of the GB tweaks that affect the status bar. Some of the tweaks just don't work, others work only under certain circumstances, but then fail other times, and some tweaks may cause odd side effects. It's just that Moto has changed too much of the code having to do with the status bar, so GravityBox can't reliably modify it. And without the Moto source and a Moto device to test with, the developer really has no way to fix any of these issues. Which is why Moto devices are not on the "compatible devices list".

Feature Request

Usual Praises...

[Feature(s) Request]

1. In Stock, WiFi Icon appears whenever it's turned ON, With GB Tweak It's icon is visible only when connected. Indication is always Good. (Similar to Bluetooth icon visibility)

2. Clock tweaks GB has are good but If it could support Custom HTML Phrases it'll be great (One could enable Seconds if this comes alive)

3. GB could provide Centre alignment of Clock

4. Stay awake feature is so handy, yet I presume none keeps it on forever. Hence If Stay Awake is turned ON, an notification could be thrown for Indication just like Torch

5. Option to Turn off, Torch and Stay awake after screen off automatically will be very appreciated

6. I use an app "Screen Filter" with lowest brightness in Real dark nights. Option to execute an Custom app with Long press of Brightness is welcome (I also use "Adaptive rotate lock" for rotation control. Long press on Auto rotate to open this custom app will be great)

7. In quick toggles, User profile long press does nothing at-least on my nXs4. Combine Auto-sync app data with User profile long press is welcome.

8. Blur effect for default wallpaper in lockscreen tweaks would be good

9. Option to disable LED is provided but Option to enable Charging indication by LED (Red for <14% Yellow <90% Green <100%) could be great

10. Navigation tweaks with Pie controls are excellent but a flaw there. In Pie, When Keyboard is open, Back icon does not change to Down arrow which actually hides KB in that instant which clicked

11. Omni Data traffic monitor is great, but it's placement of it's Up/down icon near speed is always on right. This is not looking good, when I position it to Left. Could bring option to control Position of Icon

12. Default Data activity color is less noticeable in White background. Color #101010 is better on all Backgrounds

13. Clock single tap could be split to Clock tap/Date tap for performing respective activities

14. Screen off effect can contain "Scale down" effect

15. Pie controls and level of customization you've provided are excellent. You could also provide option to open Pie controls only when triggered from center of border instead of entire line.

I was really impressed with tweaks which can be made by single app. Up to my experience I wish these minor points to be GB. As with many familiar apps, Feature Requests from Less reputed users are not considered. I could visualize the technical difficulty to do so yet the Ultimate goal of dev is seen to come true here. Greetings for your future and for Releases...

Apologize for Point 3

Explanations to Points 8 and 9 are great and Thanks for time spent to type.

About Point 12, I was aware of changing manually yet I suggested to replace default color provided due to point on explanation.

I'll try to post this in respective tab again. Thank You...
[Xposed Framework Modules] trjlive:
Oh I see you, were meaning to change the default color for signal activity arrows from that which GB ships with. I misunderstood your request.

If I remember correctly, I think the intent behind the selected color was to mimic the old Jellybean style of a very subdued, but visible activity arrows. This is actually the second color default that's been set based on user feedback when the activity arrows feature first shipped. Several options for the default color were explored, and the user feedback helped to determine the chosen color. :)

Anyway, something that I would like to see, is rather than have the variable-color picker, which can be very tedious to use on a small screen with stubby fingers, and having to look up hex color codes takes several few extra steps, I would love it if when you opened the color picker, it had a swatch of pre-selected colors, perhaps 8 or 12, that would look nice on the signal icons.

And then there could be a "choose custom color" button that opened up the variable-color picker that currently exists. This way, the user could easily change between a few shades of various grays, or other default colors, but could also set a specific color if they so desired. Just my idea to improve the UI a bit for users. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] arvindgr:
It's good way for users to choose appreciate colours but as you've commented earlier, it's some feature which will be useful to few. Yet idea is appreciated...

Hi , "Overpass vibration" or i don't know how it is in english but in Notification control, this feature doesn't work with every app .. Like Stock Messaging app of Galaxy S5 , i put 0.1000 and it still does the 2 little vibration of stock instead of doing a big one vibration as i wanted ...

I put and saved, rebooted even the phone but don't work .. the led notification work :)

Keyguard Disabler

[MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION] I'm valerioscifoni from github that translates GravityBox into italian together with pesa,

Congratulation for the functions you and others are implementing into GravityBox everyday since a year now!

One little request: is it possibile to implement into the lockscreen toggle the choice to switch between no lockscreen, secure lockscreen and slide to unlock without making the System know that you are actually switching between them?

Explanation: I don't like secured lockscreen at all but my work email requests it and also to use my own VPN with the native Android setting feature.

To avoid this mandatory protection i use the module Keyguard Disabler which actually already does what i need but the only defect is that in order to switch back to the original protection you need to reboot, and you know, i thought about the "on the go" philosophy of GravityBox and with a toggle everything would be easier!

Let me know, I would be more than happy if this feature be implemented!

Thank you in advance!
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacknicholson:
I suspect I'm missing something, as an option for 'Blur effect' (and intensity) can be found in the Lockscreen Tweaks, provided a custom image has been set. arvindgr would just have to be sure his homescreen wallpaper is accessible from the gallery and set it again.

Edit: [MENTION=5533943]arvindgr[/MENTION] On second thought, I see the potential usecase if your wallpaper is changed frequently, or even automatically (eg. to sync with your current location or weather, via Tasker or whatever), which, I suppose, would bring us back to trjlive's response.

function not work on stock-base Rom .230 4.4.2 Sony

Hi all, i'm using XZ with eXistenZ Ultimate ROM (here is the link => http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/development/don-t-post-t2779949)

[Xposed Framework Modules] Pkt_Lnt:
Well, XDA has made it much easier for beginners to do complex changes on phones by installing an "app", like Xposed and Gravity Box. Root exploits are mostly plug and play. It used to be that if you ignored someone, they would go read and understand. Now they just throw a tantrum until you get the spoon and stuff something in their mouth, even if it is not what they want. The food / info is immediately availabe, but they demand to be spoon fed. :(

[Xposed Framework Modules] C3C076:
Some of your requests were already answered, let me add to this.

1) which wifi icon? I'm not sure I understand this one. GB doesn't control visibility of wifi icon. System decides by itself whether icon is visible or not

5) turn off torch on screen off - this would remove the possibility to use torch while screen is off which is very handy (e.g. less battery drain)

You can use Torch auto off feature in misc tweaks if you want some protection in case you forget to turn it off manually.

6) you can use quick app tile for such specialties

13) clock/date actions cannot be split since clock/date is a single view in AOSP thus you cannot have more than one single/long-press actions
[Xposed Framework Modules] C3C076:
I think the question was about blur effect for default wallpaper which is currently not possible since default wallpaper is out of GB's control because it's managed by WallpaperService which manages background for both - the lock screen and the home screen.
[Xposed Framework Modules] arvindgr:
I knew how blur on custom wallpaper works perfectly, and in this case the blur effect cannot be applied to system wallpaper which users mostly use for lot. Not for long but at least for a while.

Oh, glad you got me. How about caching the user selected wallpaper from source and add blur effect only on reboot. These are just suggestions to enhance experience. Now I see the technical difficulty behind it + this is something we can live without...

1. I use overstock UI with my nXs4 which has very minor tweaks as to a custom rom and comes preloaded with GB, which might hide ideal icon by default I guess,

I saw an option to control ideal state of Bluetooth and hence if similar to that WiFi ideal state icon control would be good

5. For torch it's right but I was talking about Stay awake feature to automatically switch to 30sec or appreciate time after screen off

6. Yes indeed, yet Required tasks under respective tile enhances UI and reduces separate space requirement

13. Thanks for detailing. Still single press /long press is efficient...
