Root Question about Xposed Framework

[Masterchief87]

I would like to know how well GravityBox and Wanam Kit work on the ZMAX. Since the stock rom is basically vanilla android, and very similar to that of a Nexus device, I'm thinking that all the tweaks included in GravityBox and Wanam Kit should work. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Also, I understand that the system partition cannot be written unless you use TWRP or flash the boot.img to the recovery partition. Since flashing the boot.img to the recovery partition can be very risky if you dont know exactly what you are doing im thinking that the safest and easiest way to install the Xposed Framework would be by flashing the recovery zip.

I haven't tried using Xposed myself but another user confirmed these working:

GravityBox (KK)
Amplify
Greenify
Youtube Adaway
Youtube Background Playback

 

[Masterchief87]

What I'm wondering is which/how many of the tweaks in GravityBox work. Things like adding, removing, and reordering quick settings tiles and using a solid black background for the default system theme instead of black-gray gradient are what I'm interested in.

Hi, so far I've been using GravityBox with no issues at all, I've set clock to change between green and red depending on network reception, wifi signals and ringer mode icon to material style. The tiles reordering/removing is working too.

where did you get the xposed recovery zip??

where did you get the xposed recovery zip??

You flash the xposed installer recovery zip to install xposed framework through twrp and if you install a module that causes a bootloop you flash xposed disabler recovery zip.

Thank you

You flash the xposed installer recovery zip to install xposed framework through twrp and if you install a module that causes a bootloop you flash xposed disabler recovery zip.

Thank you but figure it out after posting .... Happily running gravity box and coolify flat

I'm the one who confirmed Gravity box working and ALL tweaks work without issue.

Others may benifit from knowing how you fixed the issue.

Just boot into twrp and either 1.) Recover from your backup or
2.) Just hit boot system?
Now I was told the 2nd one works. But I haven't tried that one

I did exactly as you posted. I was able to flash the exposed framework through twrp. The framework installed correctly... I am trying to install viper4android. I cannot get it working. At the very start where I am to pick audio quality, no matter which of the three I try to use, viper always freezes between when I approve the superuser request and when I select my audio quality... Any ideas?

Just give me a min

 

[auburn2eugene]

Just give me a min

Any ideas? I have uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled, and the same thing. It just freezes when I select music quality...

So I just downloaded from a different spot. Now when I open the app, it tells me the drivers need updating and then ask which sound quality I want. I pick it, then it says drivers were installed and that I need to reboot my phone. Whenever I reboot and go back to viper, it starts the process all over again... Grrr... I will NOT give up

Edit. Got it working. The problem was I had installed busybox when I didn't have r/w permissions. Since I ran your zip files, now I do. I can't thank you enough for making AND SHARING those files Masterchief87

Sorry man I downloaded and installed viper last night and ended up falling asleep early. I'm glad that my zips helped you. Also, don't forget to thank hroark13 too. Hes the one who actually built TWRP for us which is 100 times more challenging than what I did with the zips.

 

[auburn2eugene]

I know man. I have. I went out and hawked YouTube for people using direct links to his files, left comments, and reported back here.

I'm also going to help in anyway I can on his cm12.1 port in which he recently posted a request for help

 

[Masterchief87]

Just be careful not to post bugs that have already been mentioned. It gets frustrating when a bunch of people report the same problems. Everyone wants to help but there is a point in time when it becomes counterproductive

 

[valve_timing]

You flash the xposed installer recovery zip to install xposed framework through twrp and if you install a module that causes a bootloop you flash xposed disabler recovery zip.

So what do I do after this.. ?

After you flsh the zip to install xposed framework you would just install and activate the modules the same as you would on any other device.

 

[valve_timing]

The installer hasn't created the zip or the directory its supposed to be in

If you do exactly what I did in the screenshots it should work fine.

 

[CYCONUMNUM]

the one unchecked is in question and I'm too lazy to uninstall...
this is on stock rooted metro 444...

oh...and I write to system when I install...not recommended I know..but, it works FOR ME...
I can manual flash...but the last time it choked...maybe because of the switch...i dunno

IF MASTER CHIEF SAYS TO DO IT A CERTAIN WAY......HE KNOWS..he tested it....by doing the way I do...you can risk something goofy happening.....
if you're not used to goofy stuff happening.........follow the MASTERCHIEF'S DIRECTIONS!!!!....
I am professionally goofy...I'm not always a good example.....

just making sure I pointed that out ...late..but,I said it

 

[CYCONUMNUM]

and the dark YouTube plugin isn't working..and causes occasional crashes

 

[valve_timing]

I did exactly what you posted I'll try again thanks for the reply
