[Tutorial] Installing Xposed and GravityBox for modifying your China phone

[ahabec]

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.

Linr76 did you need to fix calendar, location and date and time on v3? what ROM are you running?

[linr76]

Calendar and Date&time. No location fix needed.
My rom is 1.0.1

Hello,
Does it work on MT6592 devices ?
(specially on Iocean G7)
I read on forums that it made bootloops.
Thanks

It has not to do with MT6592. It's the ROM on the phone that matters. Some it will work, some not. If it goes into bootloop, just go to recovery and run the xposed uninstaller.zip that is automatically put on the phone's SD when installing xposed. Then boom you are fixed.

After using this I noticed random shutdowns on my phone, I noticed after sometime on nonuse phone was powering off by itself, I ran uninstaller, problem remained, I formatted /system and /data, reinstalled backup and problem never happened again.

So while I don't get bootloops, I get power offs, with this app. the modding of the framework is causing the kernel to power off, Anyway, make a backup before making any changes to your phone, so you can return to a good state if need be.

[NexusTrix]

Not necessarily the framework. It could have been something else the factory reset fixed, or your phone not shutting down now could just be by chance. If you uninstall xposed framework, that's it, it's out of the system.

I'm not saying installing xposed didn't cause the problem, I'm saying that it's only a correlation.

Not working in my iOcean G7 (bootloop). Used the xposed uninstaller from CWM to return to life.
After using Xposed in a lot of phones now I can't live without it :-(
If anyone know a way to use in iOcean G7 please give me an advise.
Thanks
