Ok. Thanks. Can't give a time frame as all of my development devices are currently on Pie.

Is it possible to increase the long-press duration for the torch on power long-press? I'm finding that there are too many accidental triggers because the duration is too short.

@C3C076 have you tested if the regular version of GB Oreo 8.5.3 works with any edxposed versions other than 0.4.1.2 which is buggy?

Yes, it works. But note that there's a resource hooking related bug in EdXposed v4.1.2_beta on Oreo which causes quite remarkable system slowdown so I don't recommend using it until it's fixed. Bug reported here: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/issues/236

For me it works well with magisk-EdXposed-sandhook-v0.4.0.1_beta-SNAPSHOT-release.zip which doesn't cause system slowdowns. You could give it a try.

@C3C076, hi again!
If I install the Sandhook version of EdXposed (0.4.1.2 beta), should I install GB 8.5.3 Oreo? I know it uses resources hooking so I shouldn't install the EdXposed version of GB, right? (my question is for Pie)
Sorry for the question, it's a little confusing!

I saw the post but my question was about Pie. Sorry if that wasn't clear!

8.5.3 won't work on Pie. It's for Oreo only.

Can anyone recommend a compatible rom (preferably android 9) that has a call record feature on an S7?

I would love the combination of GB lockscreen shortcuts and a rom with call recorder

EdXposed compatibility
GravityBox requires EdXposed v0.4 or later with resource hooking support

 

[BeardKing]

So this release (8.5.4) requires EdXposed? Because I installed from 8.5.3 using the regular Xposed and it freezes on the boot screen.

[edit] A reboot fixed it. Sorry!

@C3C076

Many thanks for the update.
I use a Samsung device running android 8.0 with EdXposed but the new 0.4.1.2 with new hooking is not working properly under android 8.0 so I went back to 0.3.1.7 beta with 8.5.3.1-edxposed but I still got an update message for 8.5.4.
I think I cannot use it until I am able to update EdXposed, correct?

Yes. 8.5.4 requires resource hooking support thus EdXposed v0.4 or later (or standard Xposed Framework by rovo)
Issue I was talking about couple of posts back have already been resolved so I expect new EdXposed release soon.

 

[TheLusciousLucas]

Using standard Xposed on my Pixel, a reboot didn't seem to work for me. I ended up disabling and then enabling in the manager and then restarted phone. Then it was working again.

A quick (and very sad) message just to report that with EMUI 8.0.0 GB doesn't work at all

hey guys,

i am using gb on oreo 8.0. i switched on advance tuning and set config_shownotificationgear to true. now i can see notification badge counts on status bar icons. but the badges are too big so they are hiding the app icon.

any way to reduce the badge size? anyone knows?

greets

On Oreo, I would rather go for original Xposed Framework by rovo89 instead of new EdXposed soultion as I guess the compatibility with Huawei devices is better compared to EdXposed.
If you decide for EdXposed, you can use YAHFA or Sandhook, whatver you find works best on your setup. There is no a definitive answer thus you will have to experiment and find out for yourself.
