My Droid Razr Maxx has a navbar below the screen that is part of the phone's hardware. Therefore, I don't want to use the screen space for displaying PAC-man's navbar. However, I cannot find an option in settings to disable PAC-man's navbar. So, my question is: Is there a way to get rid of PAC-man's navbar?
I am new to this forum and I tried to post this question to the PAC-man developer's thread, however, it would not let me post to a developer's thread because it complained that I didn't have 10 or more forum posts yet.... Ergo, which is why I am posting this question here.
Thanks!
Gordon
Never mind, I figured it out.
Goto Settings > Hybrid Properties > Interface. Slide the navbar size to zero to hide it and then click the check mark at the top right to save the setting.

Hey!
After countless hours of coding and searching for proper entry points to inject code to incorporate fixes and mods, here it is:
GravityBox - a complex Xposed module targeted for devices running Android 4.4, which turns vanilla ROM into
feature-packed "non-flashing" custom ROM.
Originally, this module was designed for MTK6589 devices which lack custom ROMs built from source due to MediaTek closed-source policy.
Later on, it was adjusted to support other (non-MTK) devices running vanilla or close-to-vanilla AOSP ROMs.
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 allowing modifications of applications and system services at run-time. One of the biggest advantages of GravityBox is that it is not bound to any specific device. Actually, it should run on any device having vanilla Android 4.4 (ROM close enough to AOSP).
This project wouldn't be possible without rovo's Xposed framework, so huge kudos to him.

Compatibility
Some words about GB's main concept. One thing I didn't like about xposed modules was that it was always necessary to reboot a device after making a change to some option. Since GB's main concept was to turn MTK devices running stock ROM into something that's close enough to a feature-packed custom ROM, I had to take a decision - for it to be as much comfortable as possible and to really behave like a custom ROM, I had to design it to support most of the preference changes to be done on the fly without needing to reboot a device. While this sounds nice, it also brings couple of "drawbacks". For changes to be made on the fly, it is necessary to make some preparations when device starts. This means, even if you don't use the particular feature, the necessary preparation/modification is already there and is waiting for the user to come and change that option.
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 as if you installed ROM built from source for Nexus to some Xperia device - it won't work.
Next thing, GB is a complex module and is not suitable for 1 purpose scenario. This means, if you are running custom ROM built from source (CM, PAC, ...), 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.
And finally, the last. 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 4.4 (AOSP)
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 4.4
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, 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 LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, OMNI AND THEIR OTHER CLONES... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
- 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
Prerequisites
To use this module, the following conditions must be met
- You have a device running Android 4.4 that's based on AOSP (vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android)
- ROM must be rooted (XposedInstaller requires root to be able to install framework into system)
- You have working custom recovery allowing you to make a backup before installing Xposed framework
GravityBox KitKat version has been developed and tested on Nexus 5
Installation
1) Backup your current ROM in custom recovery. I am serious. Don't skip this step.
2) Get the Xposed installer from Download section from Xposed official thread (the latest version is typically available at this link: http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk) or this flashable zip https://mega.co.nz/#!nM9UEKQS!aQtXSzmL_LL9J7pEOtSiQSk7xV9j7-hQ_7mOllB7t4c
3) Install and run Xposed installer and follow the instructions to activate Xposed framework
4) Reboot. If device doesn't boot that means that the Xposed framework is not compatible with ROM you are currently
running. You don't need to continue with the next steps. You will have to restore your ROM from backup.
5) Download, GravityBox APK from the second post, rename it to GravityBox.apk and install it.
Alternatively, you can download the latest GravityBox directly from Xposed Installer (search for GravityBox [KK] module).
6) Make sure GravityBox app is installed into internal memory. If it was installed into phone storage or external storage,
move it into the internal memory first (applies only to devices having additional or external storage)
7) Run Xposed installer, go to Modules menu and activate GravityBox by checking the checkbox
8) Reboot
9) Launch GravityBox from app drawer or from Xposed installer and set options as desired
Reporting bugs
If you experience problems with certain feature, provide the full-detailed info that can help me
to reproduce the bug and attach debug.log file you'll find in:
/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log
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.
Multilanguage support
Volunteers are welcome to translate GravityBox to other languages.
Simply download this file: https://github.com/GravityBox/Gravit...es/strings.xml
Use Notepad++ to edit strings and then send me edited file so I can include translations into next release.

Hi all
I have removed the xposed framework and gravity box from my Nexus 5 as I have switched to the ART runtime as I was fed up with poor battery life.
A few key features I am really missing.
Status bar brightness change (like CM)
Advanced volume control where when you push the hardware volume keys you get the media slider too
Volume key hold down to skip track with display off
Quick settings from dragging on right side of status bar (not silly two finger Kk style)
Battery percentage number always displayed
Resizing the horrendsly massive navigation bar which takes all screen space up
There were more things but those were the main...
My Nexus 5 is rooted and unlocked. I don't mind if I have to use adb to do some of the above or flash etc. I'd like to stick to the standard ROM. I'd also not like to install a million third party apps which also require resources and permissions...
Any suggestions? Does Android L improve on the above?
Thanks very much
Laurence
These are custom features. Xposed was the easiest way to get them. Finding a custom ROM is the other way.
Either Xposed or a Custom ROM. Xposed won't work with ART.
I know that's the problem . I wanted to keep stock but there is just far too many lacking features - come on Google give the advanced users a few more options - even if you hide it away...
I'll have to flash the Cyanogenmod ROM. I see that they have the M8 (4.4.4 ) version of CM 11 which is which I think has all the features I need and more. Maybe a good thing anyway!
I think Android L has a few problems reading up on it for now... I know it is a developer preview anyway.
Thanks
Laurence
I know is a dumb question but, Is it possible to show the download speed when downloading? Cyanogenmod roms have this feature but I wonder if I can add that feature to a custom rom. I have a nexus 5 running cataclysm 6.0.1
Try this:
Network Monitor Mini - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicator
I have the Pro version, which I think adds a few more customisation options such as the positioning of the up/down figures in the middle of the status bar, which is very convenient. It can be widely configured - position, text size, colour, no show when inactive, etc. I'm very happy with it.
Edit: added screenshot. The up & down figures can be configured to have U & D in front of them - I don't have that option enabled.
Or you can install Xposed and a module that adds a very neat indicator in the status bar - it's called Network Speed Indicator.
Thanks for your replies. I found another custom rom with this feature :good:
I have not read the thread yet, but how did this happen without me knowing.

It's better to have knowledge of an xposed modules compatibility on Android version rather than stuck on bootloop with problematic module enabled,users can mention about their working xposed modules in this thread so that they are added to this list which makes it lot easier for all the xposed users. We are grateful to the people who contributed to the Xposed Framework and its Modules since its journey started especially the legend rovo89, Ed Xposed Developer givien2u,riru core developer Rikka, Module Devs and other contributers, let's hope incompatible modules make again way to the newer Android versions in near future...

Good news.
If Gravitybox comes out for Pie then I will try EDxposed.
I wouldn't trust EdXposed on my phone since it's closed source, so who knows what kind of logging, backdoors, etc are hidden in there. Plus I don't consider it to truly be Xposed unless it was released by the man (Rovo89) himself.
I still run Xposed on my tablet that is on Nougat (and runs too good for me to upgrade to a ported O/P version) and uses nothing that requires SafetyNet. I really have no interest even trying it on O or P since most everything I need has a Magisk module available and I don't need to turn it off and reboot to get SafetyNet to pass. I tip my hat to Rovo since Xposed paved the way for a lot of what we do now (and got a lot of functionality ending up already on the OS), but it just isn't worth the hassle that it has become for me anymore.
