Guest C3C0 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just a little heads up for MTK6589 owners running Android 4.2.1 Introduction The app utilizes amazing Xposed framework coded by recognized developer rovo89 which, briefly, provides interface for injecting code into any app, including system services. This means, it allows to modify behaviour of applications and system services at run-time. No need to hack apps the usual way by decompiling, hacking and recompiling, anymore. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any MTK6589 4.2.1 ROM which is close enough to AOSP. Feature highlight GravityBox provides 2 main groups of features: Fixes - help to fight typical MTK6589 bugs like: --- Date&Time settings crash --- Caller ID mismatch --- Split conversation in messaging --- Wakelock in calendar app periodically turning on the screen --- Missing TTS settings in Language&Input --- Missing extended developer options Mods - the set of additional useful features that make using the system more easy and fun --- Statusbar QuickSettings tile management --- Statusbar color and transparency --- Additional QuickSettings tiles: Sync on/off, WiFi AP on/off, GravityBox shortcut, Torch, Network mode (2G/3G/2G+3G switch) --- Battery indicator style --- Low battery warning policy --- Auto-hiding of signal icons for empty SIM Slots --- Advanced power-off menu (reboot, recovery) --- Volume key cursor control --- Skip tracks by volume key long-press while screen off (thanks to rovo89) --- Button for clearing all recent tasks at once --- Fullscreen caller photo --- CRT screen off animation ... more to come Visit official thread for more info: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2316070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sam tyler Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 just to let you know that the Button backlight notifications (experimental) mod is working on my phone(i9389) as the led notifications don`t work on my phone. i know i should reply on xda,but as ive only made about 10 posts i guess you know it wont let me!! will try to sort out beer/coffee tokens for you if xda lets me use the donate button!! this maybe a big ask,and im not a developer, but could you make a mod so more icons can go on the lockscreen? i know i can add apps on the lockscreen via left and right by adding it but my lockscreen settings doesn`t let me add extra icons in the circle part to unlock the screen,is this possible? it would be great if you could, here is a screenshot of what i mean.or is it a limitation of 4.2.1?(or maybe my phone?) cheers.

Guest C3C0 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi. I have to take a look. But what I've seen so far, it is quite complicated to be done via xposed fw. Hell, I told to myself the same thing about cm pie and quick settings, and now we have it! So never say never. We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sam tyler Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 morning,ive noticed on the new update that you have added support for MTK8389 based phones,here is another big ask! is it possible to add support for MTK6577 based phones as well? as i have a copy of the note phone ( Star N8000+ (JB 4.1.1) e1908_v77_jbl1_9p017_6628 ) there are few mods for this phone using xposed,but nothing much.i know, a big ask,but as you have been weaving the magic for the MTK6589,i can always hope!!

Guest aenaos.9 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hello from Greece! Very excuse me for bothering, but I have problem with a new model and I have confused. Few days ago I decided because of the financial crisis to buyed from ebay 2 cheap chinese phones "DAXIAN XY100" (MKT 6589) with android v.4.2.1. Theres no Greek language and no play store. I tryed to root one of them. I'm not sure if I had complete it fine 'cause superUSER doesn't work the update after reboot. Now, I've read the great work C3CO and so many replies as I can from the xda official link that gives C3CO. May I ask you if yours way with custom ROM will provide a solution to my problem with language and store? Â Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Unfortunatelly, not. You should try searching for some community around this device to solve these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blip Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Heya, Â I'm trying out GravityBox 2.5.7 on my ZTE Blade V and I'm hugely impressed. A quick question though - are incompatible options hidden on the handset? Â I've been able to use the advanced power menu, change the battery icon and add more volume stops, but I can't find the option anywhere to use the CRT screen off animation... I assume this is because it can't be done on this phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Some features are for Android 4.2+ only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PeeCZ Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem...When i hit the Install/update button it always shows error: "su:exec failed for /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/install.sh 2>&1 Error:No such file or directory".
