In case anyone wanted to add some tweaks to their G7, while we wait for any roms..if any are released.
Clearly not my work, just linking, and confirming it works fine with Moto G7. Haven't test all tweaks, but simple ones such as battery percentage text and hide battery icon.
Big thanks to C3C076, if this was useful to you, you can thanks his post.

I installed GB the other day and haven't had any issues so far. Thanks.
It's good. Still looking for a way to get back Slim Recents/vertical recents window!
Awesome. Works on Moto G7 rooted with TWRP, Magisk, EdXposed. still passes safety net. Just waiting for custom rooms or even more customization. I miss the level of UI mods I could do on my Galaxy S7 where I could change colors for all my app icons notification background/ foreground and made everything so pretty and themed. I know I can get icon packs but I like the stock icons. I know once it develops lore and we get more mods and ROMS this will be an awesome phone.
Curious, what version of EdXposed did you settle with?
Also, do you ever experience this weird behavior when you restart your phone sometimes the font/icons are really small? It's like the screen DPI get's set or interpreted incorrectly every so often at boot
Works for me too.

Everyone who has this device should agree that it is flying, the S800 International version at least has had absolutely no stutter so far for me, however since using Gravitybox, the Xposed Module, there have been occasional slowdowns and even freezes where I cannot even scroll down a list. I love all CM-like functionality of Gravitybox but why does it slow this monster device down so much. Have it on my ASUS TF700 which is not that fast at all (Tegra 3) and it doesn't have a huge impact there?
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Can it be narrowed down to specific tweaks? I tried with transparency enabled and disabled, no noticeble difference, but turning the whole module off makes a very noticeble difference. Any ideas? Don't know if this is relevant but I have a N9005, rooted, has TWRP recovery installed and running Omega 3.1, I also installed a debloating zip that got rid of loads of apps I won't use anyway.
I have problems with xblast module, especifically with the status bar, it freezes the screen for about a minute, then "ui has stopped" messages, your problem is with gravity, but there must be some common factor with xblast, I guess

I also tried Wanam's Xposed module, same thing happens. Wanam's doesn't officially support the Note 3, although I've found many features to be working perfectly. This module also has the same slowing effect as Gravity Box. I don't actually know alot about how these modules work but here's what I think may be happening: The Xposed module is making it's various changes to the System UI, then something within the Samsung firmware changes it back, and then the Xposed module again changes it, and so on... So it's like the module is fighting with Samsung firmware for control, resulting in the slowdown. This is obviously pure speculation since I don't actually know much at all about this, if someone else does know, please correct me. Right now the only features I really want are: Hold Volume up/down for skip music track and XuiMod's module, I can do without theming or other fancy things such as pie controls.
I have xposed + wanam and I don't see a big slow down. I'm using an at&t rooted SM-900A with MI9 version. Seems that the problem is only happening on newer Samsung Roms.
Thanks I didn't update the software. I also didn't trip Knox because of this.
Xposed and wanam too on my N9005. Rooted on Mj7 I don't experience any perceiveable performance loss despite the phone being a little slow waking up or going to sleep. But I cannot tell if this was different without all this. I've added xposed 3 days after buying, so I don't recall if this was different completely stock.
It does say in the write up, that it's not play nice with Touch Wiz, as it's mainly for vanilla versions of android, perhaps you're having problems due to that very reason.

I'm using both wanam and gravity box to achieve what I want, but I expect zero lag or other problems! but: I'm using nova launcher instead of touch wiz, so it seems that that could be your trouble!

i'm not using wanam or gravity box. i use nova launcher as well. but what i have noticed is that once i install the xposed framework, it takes so freaking long to complete the bootup process. it seems like 5 to 7 minutes from power on until the last toast notification message from supersu appears. and if i uninstall xposed framework, the bootup process is extremely fast. once the bootup is complete with xposed, everything runs at normal speed though.
i haven't been able to find any mention of such problems anywhere. it is some consolation to see that it's not my imagination that xposed is causing some issues for others as well.
I'm using nova launcher with wanam and gravitybox and I have absolutely no lag besides a slight hickup when turning my screen on. I also have 80 extra apps and games. Maybe you folks have a defective note

I open this for get an analysis for a evidences slow down performance on every note with stock Rom then I have.
test on note2, note3 and note4 get me rallenty result on boot (more time that normal to view desktop), on connection usb with pc (long time to recognize device, not depend on which OS), system app's booting 3-4 slow time that normal (rotate control, gear manager ecc). Ram saturation not change but showy lags on interface and switch to App's.
this is indipendent than Module (lastest test is without module's).
when I remove a framework all return normally.
I don't understand Why??
From the original gravitybox repo info:
Compatibility
- .....
- DOES NOT support devices running ROMs vastly modified by device manufacturers (HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, ...)
- SHOULD NOT be used with custom ROMs like CM, AOSPA, RootBox, SlimBean and others - it makes no sense since the most of the features are already
in the ROM (may cause conflicts and unexpected behaviour)
When you only need the resign of the buttons (like myself.. that was the only reason i used it) you find in the xposed download: xposed additions for remaping
Same problem.
Well, I had rooted and installed Xposed+Gravity on my friend's device and he too has reported lags on his device. My guess is, somehow the default framework and systemui aren't allowing the module to modify them, probably, that's why the problem. Also, I tried making GB and Xposed a system application and then wiping data+cache, but still, there was no noticeable change.
Interestingly, when I installed these modules separately, like advanced power menu, double tap to sleep, lollipop navigation bar etc, there was hardly any lag.
So, I think, taking GB out is the answer, but again, how many modules can we install for each function?
These are the modules I am using as a substitute:
APM+: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus
Flat Style Colored Bars: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bocharov.xposed.fscb
DoubleTapToSleep: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.doubletaptosleep
Lollipop Navigation Bar: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ash.androidlnavigationbar
Note: I disabled the stock launcher and using Apex Pro. Its small and eats lesser memory.
I hope it helps a bit.
Hello! I'm running KK 4.4, rooted and unlocked. I recently had installed a couple of mods, most notably this mod to give me a battery percentage number. Well I installed the back-to-stock files provided by those developers in anticipation of installing Xposed. But inbetween, I noticed that my notification drawer didn't have a complete gray bar across the top (see screenshot, and picture of what it should look like).
After installing Xposed and GravityBox for KK, I tried using the notification drawer color fill option to see if that would correct or override it, but that completely filled the drawer, hiding everything in it. I could still click buttons, but could not see them. So I reversed that, but still have the gap in the bar. Edit: Seems I had to choose "underlay" as an option for the color fill, so it's unrelated/not an issue as far as that goes.
It seems like a minor thing, but given how the color fill reacted in addition to now having this gap, I'm worried that there may be other issues I could run into. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I could fix this, hopefully without reinstalling the OS?
Edit: Attached another screenshot better illustrating what's happening.
I'm having the same issues running franco kernel. Any help would be appreciated. Dirty flash does nothing for me.
EDIT: I was able to solve this by flashing this battery percent mod, you might want to give it a try:

Thanks, but I just came back to say that I completely wiped the phone and put a stock ROM back on.
I noticed that no matter how often I keep reinstalling XPosed and GravityBox I always get the error message that the GravityBox framework is not responding. Is this a Rom based issue or is there some way to fix this?
EDIT:// So I realized it is a Huawei general issue. I installed Xposed 2.5.1 (and changed ro.config.hwtheme to 0 in the build.prop). Now I am able to properly install GravityBox and run it. The problem now is if I for example activate PIE controls or change something from the status bar (and reboot) nothing changes. Even if I activate immersive mode for both sides only the nav bar disappears. Nothing else happens tho.
EDIT2:// So some functions do work. I can use the GravityBox nav bar (although it makes the recent app icon disappear) while some functions like the PIE control simply do not work. Is there some fix?
EDIT3:// Using the GravityBox Navbar the buttons only work on the Homescreen. As soon as you enter an app you have to restart the os in order to quit the app.

GravityBox works best with AOSP Roms and Roms that are very close to AOSP I think there is a mention in the app.
Quoting from the official repo that can be found here http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox
GravityBox is a module which primary goal is to provide the users of AOSP devices
with a tweak box to turn their vanilla AOSP ROM into custom ROM packed with additional features and tweaks
without need to flash anything. Most of the preferences can be changed on-the-fly without rebooting.

It's not Huawei's fault ,if you are trying to install an application and configure it, that is supposed to run in vanilla environment into a heavily customized ROM like EMUI and MIUI if we count XIAOMI too.
Give a try to Xblast Tools , does almost the same than GravityBox, and seems to be more compatible (at least for me).
Does everything I wanted from GB.
And don't post on GB thread, you will not be the welcome (Huawei rom, blablabla ... read the red warnings ... )
For some reason my XPosed installation doesnt work anymore. Tried reinstalling always shows that the Service isn't started. Only disabling rescource apis make it run. This emui stuff is really annoying. I'd love to have an aosp rom

Did you tried Xblast Tools ?
Yes I did it worked after installing XPosed 2.5.1. Though most of the stuff is heavily bugged while the rest doesn't even work. I guess we really need a vanilla rom. Honestly even GravityBox worked more with 2.5.1

Weird, most of the things I wanted work (Circle Battery Icon, Custom Navbar, Skip Track, Cursor move with VolKeys).
Hello a little bump , do you advise me to install xposed framework on Honor 6 with EMUI 3.0 ?
Ok, so normally I use Pacrom as a daily driver. On 4.3 is had hybrid settings which were great on my Nexus 4. I changed the signal, battery, time/date, and softkey buttons all to purple. I thought getting a Nexus 5 was going to be great, until I realized this white theme for kitkat is practically unchangeable. What happened to androids being completely customizable?? This white theme sucks. So my question is, how do I change the status bar, and navbar icons' color?? Are there any Theme apps that will do this? Is there a ROM that can do this, or any app in Xposed? (I don't normally like Closed because a lot of the apps that CAN do this in Xposed require you to not be on a custom ROM, which just isn't going to happen for me. I hate the stock ROMs.)
I'm very seriously considering buying a Nexus 4 again just to have aall my customization options back, but if I can avoid spending $200, I'd love that All of the customizing is what kept me using Androids, but if Google has removed a lot of this after he kitkat update, then theres no reason for me to use Android anymore.

I don't get why you're having such a problem, literally everything you can do with KitKat on the N4 you can do on the N5. So however you changed your theme on the N4, do it on the N5. Surely whatever ROM you liked on the N4 is available on the N5, and there are a ton of Xposed modules for it too (grabitybox, nexusnavbars, etc...). If your favorite ROM isn't available, that's not the phone's fault. The point is, they are both Nexus devices, and both run stock Android, same builds and everything. So again, no clue what the problem is.
When i upgraded the N4 to kitkat, I couldn't change the white theme on the navbar or status bar either. The same thing happened. I used PACrom KitKat on the N4 and N5. Certain Xposed modules work, but some of them, such as the ones for the Navbar don't work if you are on a custom ROM like Pacrom. They only work on Stock Roms that are AOSP. (Which I don't use, because PacRom has more customization features.) But on PACrom 4.3 jellybean, I could customize the navbar and status bar icon colors.
Morning,
So I purposely went from running a lineage based ROM to a locked bootloader and TW on 4.4.2. I am happy with it. Battery life is better and things like the compass work now. I am currently runnng the PaulPizz ROM, so I am rooted.
I am using an app called "Button Mapper" to remap my buttons to a style more to my liking. What I would like to know is if there is more of a lower level way of doing this, like some build prop edits or something? I would like to remap my buttons without running a service in th background... I can look into Xposed, but I imagine it may be tricky, being that I am on a several year old KitKat OS, and I don't know how it works as far as whether or not it makes lower level changes to the system or just runs as a background service.
Thanks for your time!
