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 v17 or later
- Riru v16 or later
- EdXposed v0.3.0.0-beta2 or later
- EdXposed Installer v2.2.1 or later

Installation
This procedure assumes you have working Magisk installation.
1) Install Riru and EdXposed modules using Magisk Manager
2) Install EdXposed Installer app
3) Reboot and open EdXposed Installer app to check if EdXposed works and is active
4) Install GravityBox and enable it in EdXposed Installer
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)

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 9 (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 [P] has been designed for and tested on
- Nexus 5X running Pixel Experience Android Pie 9.0
- OnePlus 3T running OxygenOS
- OnePlus 7 Pro running OxygenOS
- 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.

Volunteers are welcome to translate GravityBox to other languages.
Simply download this file: https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/raw/pie/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/pie
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
- Advanced tuning

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.

Congratulations for your hard work!

When I updated from Nougat to Oreo I backed up and restored GB settings successfully. Have you tested if it's possible to do the same for Oreo - > Pie?

Kudos to dev for this. Some of the problems i am facing:

Selecting battery bar to show at bottom edge shows just below the status bar.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fNzk1RuMuz675FdteahCUNjXNJaKhqLe/view?usp=drivesdk

Data traffic monitor hiding status bar icons when selecting right as location.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14ZQ8Tacy6HwesCBmZnd9WbS1ui6fPI4b/view?usp=drivesdk

On overriding navigation keys action for back and recents i lose vibration feedback.

Power key long press for torch on screen off doesn't work.

When i toggle system network speed indicator icon the system battery icon is flashed for a little bit and then cancelled.

Some questions:
The location tile provides battery saver, devuce inly, high accuracy. But google has removed these types in android pie. Does the option work as their names suggest or they have all the same function??

Some requests:
Additonal quick settings row.
Separation of ring and notification volume.

Thanks again for your awesome work. It speaks for itself that so many people have been waiting for exactly this module to be ready for Pie, right @sjamie? So GB and XE are ready, are you?

Anyway, I have literally gone through almost each and every possible setting and I have to state, that GB has never worked so flawlessly before. Not even under Oreo with latest xposed.
I am running stock OOS (9.0.4), Magisk 18.1, latest EdXposed and latest riru and Pi Kernel.

At last, I'd be nice if you could add a PayPal link to the OP, so I can send another donation. Coz through the app the amount is limited to 3 euros and that is simply not enough!

 

[me7tarfeek]

Wow… great efforts

One note
Advance reboot menue does not work. Nothing happen when activated

Thanks a lot

 

[whalesplaho]

Thank you OP. This projects encourages lot of users to stick with android.

 

[Machine318]

No bugs thus far for what I'm using.

 

[Tchania]

First of all, a big thank you for making this work on pie!
This is the one module that I had no hesitation getting the premium unlock. This is a must have, at least to me!

Okay so I gave it a try as soon as I saw the post of the first beta for pie, and as expected (for note 9) it was working partially. I'm not encluding any logs for now because I'm not expecting you to fix stuff for samsung at the moment or even afterwards (let me know in case you are thinking of supporting One UI someday down the road). So this is more about informing you how good it is on note 9 (korean version N960N), as a tester.

-when I have music visualization enabled and whenever I lock or unlock the screen, the sound effect of V4A stops and return as the visualization appears (poweramp playing music as I'm doing this). The same happens when toggling visualization for navbar; as I'm toggling it on and off the sound effect turns off very very briefly and comes back on. It's like a refresh thingy.
-advanced power menu is not working at all (even after reboots).
-circular battery is working but the percentage inside it looks weird sometimes and sometimes the stock battery icon appears alongside the circular one.
-data traffic indicator works without issues.
-status bar brightness control works only when adaptive brightness is turned off (I guess that's normal?).
-download progress seems to work only for google play downloads (I guess it's normal as well?).
-trusted Wi-Fi works like a charm.
-pie control works but I haven't tinkered will all the options. So far so good.
-one last thing, the color of icons/indicators from gb on status bar always look grey-ish? No matter the status bar color change. So sometimes they are hard to see.

That's all I have tested for now.

You are awesome!

Thanks, being beta bugs are to be expected. I started with what I use most frequently - will add as I check

Fingerprint actions not working on any of the 5 selected slots (be it apps/shortcuts) - "No app/ action assigned" toast message pops up. Toggle enabled and rebooted. Also disabled from Installer, enabled and rebooted. Didn't help

Stock MiA1 (Android one)

Dropbox ? for EdXposed logs https://www.dropbox.com/s/8lg28md759crgw4/xposed_error_20190308_232340.log?dl=0. I can't see any logs in com. Solohosu....

If you need logs using laptop, it will take a few days

Edit : Same result with GB as only module

Installer log https://www.dropbox.com/s/07bqhhg15xxkv2u/xposed_error_20190309_005557.log?dl=0

Edit 2: Surprisingly, quick tap action works for both shortcuts and apps so it's not a fingerprint issue

Edit 3: Toggling config-fingerprint-support-gestures from false to true and reboot didn't help

Don't know if i'm doing something wrong but i can't get past the framework check at the beggining. Using EdXposed and Magisk 18.1

Thank You!! GB is even working fine with v0.2.9.8-beta1
The only thing I miss is
"Swap Volume Buttons in Landscape"
Great Effort, you are a Genius
