Disclaimer: This will brick some phones. Most notable, the recent stock THL ROMs. Though @wuddawaste had success with his T200C. Make sure you have a tried and true backup handy before installing the framework, or at least have confirmation that it works with your phone and current ROM prior to installing.
- Install latest Xposed installer: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
- Install Xposed framework through the installer
- Soft reboot or reboot
- Within Xposed, download and install GravityBox module
- Enable GravityBox in Xposed Modules
- Soft reboot or reboot
- Launch GravityBox from home screen or app drawer
- Have fun modding your phone

Do not proceed with W200S. It bricked me.
If you decide to go ahead and try anyways and you brick, just boot into recovery and run the xposeduninstaller.zip in the main directory of SD. You should have CWM to run it though. It will automatically put the uninstaller.zip there when you install xposed.

It is the ROM. Actually, there is VanillaExperience ROM if you want to try that. It's a ROM ported from Zopo (if I'm remembering correctly, which possibly I'm not). That should be compatible with Xposed.

@Khonshu: What were you doing when you bricked the T200C? Do you remember?

It wasn't the T200C that was bricked. It was W200S.

I had no trouble installing Xposed on my T200C but Gravity Box would not install via Xposed.
Finally I downloaded a copy of Gravity Box, installed it manually, and then let Xposed update it.

have to use for pretty all MTK phones...
Gravitybox - General fixes:
Fix Date&Time settings crash
Fix calendar app
Fix location issue (if needed)
Fix caller ID for phone / messages (if numbers in different formats are not matched to your address book)
also nice:
Power tweaks:
Advanced reboot menu
Screenshot in power menu
Statusbar tweaks to make the quicksettings look like you want them to.
so you see you can do pretty much anything you want, these are just a few settings i use to customize the phone more to my liking.
pair that with Nova (with all animation settings to at least fast) and your phone is nice and fast.
my phones current and past:
Brand phones:- Samsung Galaxy Apollo/Leo/3 - retired, 2x Samsung Galaxy S - gone, Samsung Galaxy Note - stolen , Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos - retired
- Samsung Galaxy S3
- Samsung Galaxy S4 black edition (work issue)
China phones:- Pinphone 3 (never received), Smarty A8 (MTK6515 HTC Chacha clone), iNew V3 - sold
- Xiaomi Redmi 1s - Wife's daily driver
- Xiaomi MI3 64GB with MagicSim on dual bootMIUI v5 (4.8.22) /CM11
Others: - ZTE Open (FirefoxOS) - now running ICS! -retired from duty.
