Replacement for Gravitybox Quicksetting tiles? - Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the idol 3 doesn't yet work with xposed framework does anyone know of an alternative app that provides configurable quicksetting tiles that allow things such as toggling network mode from 2G, 3G and 2G/3G....toggling wifi ap mode, toggling usb tethering etc?

I currently use Notification Toggle. Doesn't have all the features but has most of the ones that I normally use plus it shows up automatically on the lock screen which is convenient.

I used to use xPrivacy, but it was kind of a pain to configure and I switched to the English translation of LBE Privacy Guard when Lollipop came out. LBE didn't require xPosed, but wasn't much easier. So I've let those go. I used to use an xPosed clipboard manager that I liked. I forgot its name. But it kept me in KitKat for awhile after Lollipop appeared because I didn't want to give it up. On long pressing the "Paste" button, it would provide a list of recent clipboard items, any of which could be chosen to be pasted into the active text field. So I've been using Clip Stack, which provides a list of recent items in the notification panel, any of which can be chosen to become the current clip or be pasted directly into the active field. Very nice, if somewhat clunkier to use.

[Q] how to enable full screen immersive mode?

full screen (no status or nav bar) hasn't been happening for me. is there a way to enable it?
I believe it requires an app to request it so you'll have to wait until apps get updated with the functionality.
Ah ok. strange there's so much talk about this feature on sites and from Google yet it's not actually really in use. most of these tech sites write about phones they haven't even used.
Techradar guys have been able to use it in Google Reader app according to their early hands on review. Give it a go and see how it works there before support from other apps arrives.
I think this is a feature that most probably can be applied to all apps in a simple way by a Xposed module (similar like App settings module). Be patient, something like that will come.
Google reader app? Google reader app hasn't existed for months!

Not right. With Gravitybox, you can enable Expanded Desktop which is of course nice (and used by me), but Immersive Mode is different: In ED you just can toggle it on/off (hide/unhide navbar/statusbar permanently), while in Kitkat's IM I you can, while the bars are hidden, swipe from the screen edge to show them.

Some apps have immersive mode built in, otherwise I believe you can't get it WITHOUT flashing a custom ROM.
Cataclysm ROM works, and has a quick toggle for it if you're wondering. And plenty others.

Anyway full Immersive Mode is suboptimal. One wants to see the statusbar for quick informations. So Gravitybox's solution where you can only hide the navbar is best.

I am new to Xposed so I can not give any indication on the history, but I can confirm that I can get the following options for Expanded desktop mode in the latest version of GravityBox for KitKat:
Disabled
Hide navigation bar
Immersive status bar
Immersive navigation bar
Semi-immersive
Immersive
The settings are in the "Display tweaks" menu. Once activated, you can turn the effect on and off via the power menu (found by holding down the power button on your phone for a second or two). GravityBox's Immersive Mode works the same as KitKat's IM and from what I can tell it works very well indeed. It will hide the nav bar and status bar and give applications that extra screen real estate to use. A swipe from the top of the screen will temporarily show the navbar and status bar.
I am running GravityBox [KK] [2.9.6] on my Nexus 5.
You can enable immersive mode without root using GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode

Customise quick settings, data on / off ?

I'm on a low end PAYG tariff so manually turn data on / off over 3g. The Moto G doesn't seem to have a quick way of doing this and quick settings don't appear to be customisable... ? Unless anyone knows different ?
Press the signal icon in quick settings.

This takes you to the menu to then toggle it..... I've come from a HTC where you can just toggle via the icon in quick settings since my first android back in the day HTC Legend. I guess thats part of Sense and I'll need to use a 3rd party app. It just feels like such a basic feature though coming from a non-stock android experience.
Swipe with two fingers from the top then tap the network button(middle one), then tap "mobile data"
Thanks all
You could also use widgetsoid from the playstore.
One tap customisable toggles in notification area.
you could also use gravitybox together with xposed to override system default toggle behavior for some toggles (wifi, bt, data, etc)

Bro how to use it in nova launcher ?

how? network speed in status bar / immersive display (similar to Gravitybox)

Back then, on my Nexus 5, I used Gravitybox via Xposed.
The most liked features have been the display of the actual network speed (DL/UL rates in kb/s) and the immersive display (fullscreen, no black bars top and bottom even for apps not made for it).
I'd like to get this back on my Pixel 3, but how?
Root & Magisk possible.
Thank you for ideas!

If you're pixel is from Google, then you can root it. But there's only an unofficial Xposed that will work. I'm not sure if that supports gravitybox.

well, it is rooted with Magisk, but the Xposed you mentioned is beta unstable and does not yet support Gravitybox. Understable, with Gravitybox being a conglomerate of a whole lot of different mods.
I was wondering, if there are other possibilities to be explored. I am really wondering why there is no Magisk Module for the DL/UL speed in the status bar already - do other users not desire this or is it commonly fulfilled already, how?
The immersive display on the Pixel 3 is sort of a regress, - quite often i only see a contextually unused bar where the menu keys are.
Well, even chrome shows a white bar there, without using the area for website content display.
Did I miss some setting to toggle it?
@Tulsadiver 's mod in the themes section does it. It is also available on DU custom rom.

You can use Tasker to do this. Just a matter of creating a task for immersive mode in tasker and then run the task. Also, you can create a task to turn immersive mode off and run that if you want it off. Easiest way though is to create both tasks and then add a widget to both of them on you home screen. Then just touch one widget to turn immersive mode on and touch the other to turn it off. Another option is to create a profile that will start immersive mode when you start one of the apps in the profile, such as your browser. Then, when you quit using the app, it reverts back to immersive mode off. Whatever the case, it works great. If you want to try it, I can help you with it. They are really pretty simple tasks to set up. Are you familiar with Tasker?
so far the Edxposed for me works well on my pixel 3 with these modules:
App Locale 2
Google Mpas SDK Drift Fix for China
GravityBox[P] beta 5: network speed indicator and immersive mode work great
Lataclysm
XprivacyLua
Should be more workable modules

Open Tasker and touch the tasks tab at the top. Then, at the bottom right you'll see a plus symbol. Touch it and a small window for naming the task will open. Name it whatever you choose. In the next window, touch the plus at the bottom and then select code. Then select run shell. Then, where it says command, you simply type or copy and paste the code I give you. On that same page you'll see a line that says use root. Put a check mark in the box next to it and then use the back arrow at the top left to go back. This is the code you'll use in the command box.
This one is for turning immersive mode on.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
This one is for turning off immersive mode.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
Create two tasks in the manner I mentioned, one task for immersive on and another for turning it off.
When you back out of the window where you typed the command, it takes you to the task edit window. At the bottom left you'll see a play button you can use to test the task. Touch it and, it'll turn on or off, depending of course which task it is you're in.
You can use that button to turn immersive mode on or off or you can add a Tasker widget for each task on your home screen. Then it's just a matter of touching them to turn it on and off. Also, if you prefer, you can add buttons for them in the quick settings you see when you drag down the status bar. Just open the quick settings, touch the edit button and add the Tasker buttons there. There are three of them, add two and assign the tasks to them.

Options for after rooting?

I'm interested in rooting my SM-N986B, but I'm having trouble on how to go about getting the features I want after rooting.
In the past, I've rooted my phones and eventually used a combination of xposed modules and gravitybox to obtain the follow QoL features
data traffic monitor shown on top of status bar (live download/upload speeds when using data)
hold back button to force close an app
when screen is off, long press/hold power button to turn on torch/flashlight
when screen is on, long press/hold power button to bring up options for screenshot, turning phone off, or restarting the phone
an option to auto expand the quick settings panel when the swipe down is performed towards the right side of the phone
I plan on staying with samsung's One UI (or a custom ROM based on it) so I can still use the s pen features (unless an AOSP based rom will still allow spen features). In the past I know gravitybox was only for AOSP based roms.
After I root my phone, what can I do to get the features I'm looking for stated above?
Is there an active module or tool similar to xposed/gravitybox thats One UI based?
Or which ROM would be the closest to obtaining all the above?
(in addition to QoL features above, I plan to use an adblock and remove bloatware and unused apps that samsung doesnt allow me to remove by default)

Question No immersive mode?

Is there a way to enable immersive mode on the Pixel 7 pro? Is there any root or Xposed option to do so? I want to enable immersive mode on a per app basis through tasker. This functionality seems to have been lost in Android 13.
I use the Xposed module "None Display Cutout". After installing it, go to Settings > Developer Options > Display Cutout and set it to "No Display Cutout".
Then I use XposedEdgePro to creat shortcuts to turn it off and on. You can trigger it by gesture, quicksettings or activity shortcut.
I'm not sure what the best way is to set it on a per-app basis.

I don't understand the utility in Xposed edge pro. Doesn't it make an annoying half moon circle with different buttons pop out? Each having its own customized function? You're making it execute a small script that is to go into settings tho and activate immersive mode after installing the display cutout option. Is that correct?

Well, the None Display Cutout module doesn't actually give you immersive mode by itself. It basically just makes your phone ignore the hole-punch camera. Without it, you will have a black section of unused space above the app and camera if you go into immersive mode. So, it just let's you use the full screen.
I just use Xposed Edge Pro, because it offers a working way to go into immersive mode, but you don't actually need to open it after setting it up. You don't need the pie/halfmooon menu. It has an activity that can be called. I have a different custom menu that I set up with another app that calls the XposedEdge Pro shortcut to put the phone into immersive mode. Xposed Edge also lets you add quick settings buttons to hide the status or nav bars.
You could also just set up gestures through Xposed Edge to trigger immersive mode

Sorry, it is a Magisk module, not an Xposed module.
I use the gesture navigation, but I don't use the XposeEdge gestures. I was just saying that there are different ways of triggering it. There might be some other apps that still, work, but the other old apps that put the device in immersive mode just didn't seem to work anymore. So, Xposed Edge was the only way I could get it working. If all you care about is getting rid of of the gesture pill at the bottom, and don't want to hide the status bar, there is a mod you can use with Substratum Lite.
You mentioned using Tasker. Well, I just looked in Tasker and it does give you the option to call an App Shortcut from Xposed Edge Pro. I sort of got per-app immersive working with Tasker.
To test it try this:
1. Press the + button to add new profile and select "Application"
2. Select all apps that you want to be in immersive mode
3. For you task, select App > Shortcut > Xposed Edge Pro > Hide Status Bar > Turn On.
4. Do the same thing as above, but select Hide Navigation Bar.
At this point it should trigger it when you open one of those apps that you specified. The main issue is that it persists if you go to any other app. So then you might need to create an inverse version of the profile and tasks above, to turn it off for every other app, including your launcher. There is about a quarter second delay for the immersive to turn on when you switch to a new app, though.

It works on A13. I've been using it since day one on Pixel 7 Pro. Immersive mode, custom dpi and font size work. Only few apps are incompatible (Google Photos, Files, Recorder).
Screenshots:
1. Chrome with immersive mode enabled.
2. ES File Explorer with immersive mode and custom dpi.
I flashed a zip that makes my status bar 1px so the notification pull-down gesture still works but the screen is basically stretched to the top of the phone. Works perfectly
