i never use havoc's rom i stay close to stock easy way to update and love overclock 520,000 antutu score worth it smurf kernel with xxx rom i know that works with edexposed

Actually, I've come to agree with you about this.

I tend to have issues and sometimes make mistakes when flashing 3rd-party ROMs on my OnePlus 7 Pro (GM1917). This is primarily due to idiosyncracies and complexities of the dual boot-slot architecture. Flashing a stock ROM via System Update and then flashing TWRP and Magisk are much more straightforward and much less error-prone.

Back in the Stone Age when I was flashing 3rd-party ROMs on my Galaxy S5 (which finally died just a little while ago), it was easier to flash ROMs because (1) there is no dual-boot-slot nonsense; (2) it has external storage which doesn't get trashed during a data partition reset, and therefore, I can keep nandroid backups there; (3) the device is not encrypted, so I can keep nandroid backups for a variety of ROMs and restore any of them if there are problems with the 3rd-party ROM that I'm trying (note that I'm still uneasy about dm-verity, given that many people still have issues with it).

Modern devices and ROMs are more complicated, and this is part of the reason for flashing 3rd-party ROMs being more troublesome these days.

And there are sometimes issues with 3rd-party ROMs, even a ROM like Havoc.

And finally, I am finding that I can get all the extra features I want under stock 10.0.2 with xXx-NoLimits and other Magisk modules, with GravityBox and other modules under Riru/EdXposed, and with the Smurf kernel. I am now running with all of those items, and I am happy.

You can use this Magisk module, it works perfectly on my Pixel XL.
https://github.com/samchugit/Immersive_Gestural_Nav_Bar

I have installed latest Magisk with Riru-Core and EdXposed Framework ver 90.0-v0.4.6.0_beta(4471) (YAHFA) and it is showing active in EdXposed Manager (ver 4.5.2).
I can see all versions of Gravitybox in EdXposed Manager except for Android Q / 10.
Am using OG Pixel XL using Stock ROM Security Patch Oct2019.
Do I have to use SandHook instead of YAHFA? I heard SandHook is less stable though.
Thanks

Currently GravityBox is only posted in this thread as it's still in beta test. I'm using YAHFA, SandHook is faster but less stable, I think stable is more important. Moreover, SandHook may not be compatible with some modules, sometimes. I'm still using the edxposed in Magisk repo, didn't update.

Thanks. Downloaded the apk, installed it, enabled in EdXposed Manager and rebooted. It shows enabled. But when i run GravityBox, it fails saying 'GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting.'

As an aside, 'Amplify' module is also not able to run - not able to seek root it seems. Maybe these two issues are related.

Try to toggle the module and reboot several times... Magic issue...

I'm Pixel XL with latest ROM, I guess we are same, so you shouldn't have issue.

I had the same problem with GravityBox until I installed this "canary" version of the YAHFA module (version 4478) ...

magisk-EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.0_beta(4478)-release.zip

It can be downoaded via the EdXposed Manager.

Perhaps this will help you with your issue.

Tried canary version 4478, checked/unchecked modules, rebooted multiple times. Same result, no luck. :(

Hmm ... do you have any other GravityBox apk on your device? The "GravityBox Unlocker" is OK, but if there are any other GravityBox installations, they could get in the way.

If you have any others, make sure they are uninstalled and that their apk files don't exist on your device. Then reboot and make sure that you only have this 10.0.0-beta-5 version of GravityBox on your device. And the 4478 YAHFA beta is still necessary, I think.

If 10.0.0-beta-5 is the only GB apk you have, then sadly, I have run out of ideas.

PS: one more thing I just thought of: when you go into Magisk, is there only one EdXposed module shown as being installed, and is it indeed the 4478 YAHFA beta?

Is there an update on the volume cursor control issue? I'm using an OP7pro with Renovate Ice 8.2. After a while, volume cursor control stops working and I have to disable and enable it and reboot. I saw somewhere that there could be an issue with blacklist mode, but I'm using it on Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Framework to pass safety net.

@C3C076

Any chance of getting a toggle to remove the "Do Not Disturb" icon from the lockscreen, similar to removing alarm info?

I'd love to hear Google's rationale for stacking all of that info on one line and allowing it to truncate the date and weather. It makes absolutely zero design sense.

Getting rid of the weather would be nice too. My OCD goes off when it differs from my Dark Sky homescreen widget.

I have a Personal profile and a Work profile. Maybe that's what's preventing Xposed/modules to run properly.

Not sure what your precise setup is, but I do know that when I was using Island/Shelter, both of which use the "Work Profile" system as their foundation, that anything that was related to or depended on access to root would not work properly inside of an isolated profile. Likewise, any attempts to install root management software inside of that profile (i.e. Magisk Manager, EdXposed Manager) would result in very erratic behavior.

Yahfa 4.6.0/magisk 20.1 actually works with latest gravitybox. The problem is it makes my phone soft reboot after i complete my initial boot. Hope it will get fixed... miui11/android 10.

    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.

    What happened no more development. Still at beta

    Oh sorry bro. There is paid option too. So i thought it might be a part of his living. Thanks for the info. I was keep following to the project to get new features that's why i concerned about. If it was stopped i can stop looking in this thread.

    I wouldn't give up hope so easily. According to the source code linked in the OP, the last added change was added 2 months ago. Updates for this mod come every couple of months, I think. Just cause there's no update doesn't mean it's dead, so hang on just a little longer :fingers-crossed:

    Do you know that this is not his job, but a hobby? And he uses whatever free time he have after his real job and family?

    Hello everyone. Long time no see.

    Just couple of words to keep you up to date.
    Yes, development speed went down tremendously compared to 7 years ago when this project was started and there were like weekly updates often bringing a lot of new features every week, etc.
    The thing is I am feeling less and less motivated with every new Android version which always brings new restrictions, security measures and thus affects how Xposed Framework works.
    Another issue is how behaviour is inconsistent regarding different devices and systems. Nowadays the majority of issues users have are coming from some incompatibilities in the framework.
    Such type of development, when your work is based on something which is quite experimental and inconsistent, is not giving me the pleasure you would expect from doing your hobby.
    This is also the reason why module is still treated as beta, although it may seem to work perfectly on some systems.

    Just to make sure - I am NOT abandoning the project completely. I'm just waiting for a moment that gives me enough motivation to get back to it. And it will probably come sooner or later, I believe.
    For now, please try to understand and accept my position and enjoy what we currently have as it's the outcome of years of dedication and of course, your support. Thanks!
