I have the Verizon G4, and I have Xposed and GravityBox working successfully. However, I ran into a few issues that I want to share, as well as share what I can confirm works. As we all know, GravityBox has a big disclaimer that it is meant for AOSP or stock-based ROMs, and not for heavily skinned ROMs like what our G4 has.
Confirmed working:
Changes to the status bar (remove icons, change battery icon, add data monitor, etc.)
Enabling all rotations
Lockscreen modification to automatically unlock after successful PIN entry
Confirmed not working:
Media tweak to allow separate ringtone and notification volume (this simply doesn't make any changes to volume controls)
Go to dialer automatically when opening phone
If you want to add to this list, simple comment below and I will update the OP. Hopefully this will help others from making possible bootloop or freezing issues.
Not Working: Go to dialer automatically when opening phone. It still goes right to recent for me.
Sometimes Works: Skip tracks with volume keys when screen is off. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I enabled the quick unlock under lockscreen tweaks. Works for me..

Do you use a PIN or pattern?

EDIT: I tried it and it worked with a PIN. I believe the issue was I also checked the button to automatically prompt for the PIN entry as well.
Were you able to remove the sim icon with the question mark with Gravity when using your T-Mobile sim?
Is anybody using it with smart unlock? For some reason, with gravity box installed, smart unlock did not work for me. Messed with all lock screen settings to no avail, including trying to disable all
I've tried all the following tweaks:
Statusbar tweaks- all the signal cluster, battery, and clock settings work. Data traffic monitor works. Ongoing notification blocker works. Disable peek too.
Display tweaks- allow all rotations works.
Media tweaks- "volume keys skip track" works. Some people have reported intermittent function but it works flawlessly for me. More music volume steps works. Reorient volume keys works. Disabling safe headset media volume works. Volume panel timeout works.
Navigation keys actions- all these settings work. To edit the square icon you have to use the recent key option.
Miscellaneous tweaks- recent tasks RAM bar with adjustments works. Headset actions work. Enable screenshot delete works.
All ultimate notification control settings work.
I'm sure other tweaks work but I haven't tried them.
can anyone get quicksettings to work? i haven't used gravitybox before. it seems pretty great, but i cant get that to work, maybe it isnt compatible.
i really want a separate quick-settings vs notification panel like I had in my m8/viperone. the g4 is slick, but i can't stand the quicksettings/notifications screen.
Is there any way to have the data/LTE icon disappear when connected to WiFi?
Expandable volume panel
Enabling Gravity Box (5.3.4)-->Media tweaks-->Expandable volume panel doesn't work. In fact, it makes your volume panel not show what level your volume is set/changed to when you tap a volume button. This is on VS98613B, and also did it on VS98611A.

I know that when there is no secure lock screen (pattern, pin etc), the notification bar can be pulled down.
Is it possible to access the notification bar when the lock screen is secured with pattern on CM10?
I tried it the cna rom and you can't pull it down when you have a pattern lock screen, it'll probably be the same on cm10, otherwise you could pull it down and access the settings menu and that would be quite the security snafu.
It's this way on purpose. How would a lock screen be at all useful if you could bypass it by pulling down the notification bar?

Understandable but what about this: I've got an HTC One S with no hard camera or search button. My sms app allows quick create popups on the locscreen via:
-long press of camera button
-long press of search button
-icon on lockscreen
Since the first 2 are of no use to me, I can only use the 3rd option....but I can't since due to job email security, I must enable a passcode.
Is there a way to get around this? I know how much the iOS vs Android thing irritates ppl but I was able to do this with iRealSMS (iOS) and miss it dearly. If a pass code was enabled, you could still send SMS but if you actually tried to get into the app, you were presented with the pass code screen.
Hello everyone,
While I was testing my phone and pressing everywhere, I might found a feature I didn't read anywhere.
I know there is the ZenMotion, and it works great. By writing a "C" on the screen, you launch the camera app. But I don't talk of that (and I disabled this shortcut)
After locking the screen, press the volume button twice (down-down, up-up or even up-down and down-up). It launches also the camera app.
This isn't a ZenMotion feature (I disabled everything and the shortcut still works).
Is someone having this shortcut too? Did someone know how to disable the shorctcut?

The setting for the double click volume key to launch camera from sleep is in Settings -> Lock Screen
At least on the US version running the WW firmware. See attached image.
Ohhh. Got it. The setting is here.
Thanks!
Hi,
I just got my OnePlus 3 a couple of days ago and am very happy with it overall.
The only thing I don't like about Android right now, is the confusing and limited Notification Priority Setting feature. It's just impossible to set it up correctly.
I just want to be able to quickly change between Silent / Vibrate / Sound.
I'm aware that you can change between Sound and Vibrate with the volume keys, but I would prefer it if I could somehow set up the physical switch on the OnePlus 3 to do that.
Is there any app / mod out there that could do this?
I would be interested in this as well. Also, I feel like the order of the slider should be flipped with all notifications at the top and no notifications at the bottom next to the volume buttons.
Agreed. An option to reverse the order would be greatly appreciated as well.

Can they be reversed though? Putting the "all notifications/alerts" on the top and "none" at the bottom?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nqk.vibratemodeextended
Appears to work to substitute priority mode with vibration mode, unfortunately no option to reverse the slider. This developer's other app that includes that reverse feature does not work at all yet.
Edit: I can get Tasker to detect all positions of the slider but I don't know a way to set the settings for reversal. Simply making the top slider position set Do Not Disturb to "All" does not have an effect, nor does setting the bottom position to "None".
Yeah would be great to change this from the settings menu and not in Tasker... Googling seems like alot of people been asking for it since the oneplus 2
Hi, Need some help. I can't seem to find any I interruption menu within sounds and notifications? Was there an update which replaced that?
I use the app "Alert Slider". You need exposed installer to use it (but its awesome anyways). Its super stable and very customizable.
(http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.nqk.customalertslider)
Options:
Reverse slider. (Top to bottom: All / Interruption / None)
* Custom action for each position:
- All
- Interruption
- None
- Airplane mode
- Flashlight
- Vibrate
- Do nothing
Custom Slider by Wheathon has many options including reversing the order. You can set your BT on-off, WiFi on-off, torch on-off etc in addition to the volume settings, and all using the slider's three positions. But it requires Xposed. And it will work only on OOS and not on the community build.

I find that app quite weird. For example if you want to add a torch, you need to assign one to on and an other one to off. Same for Bluetooth, cellular data, wifi ect. There is no point, we only got 3 positions. The app I suggested turns the flashlight one when the slider is on a position and turns off when you move the slider to a other position.

The dev is endlessly repeating in his thread that each position of the slider can have umpteen number of actions because many people have not understood it correctly.
For eg. if you assign torch-on to the top and torch-off to the middle, it doesn't mean that two positions of the slider are lost leaving you with only the bottom position for other actions. You can assign wifi-off, BT-on etc to the top position in addition to the torch-on and assign wifi-on, BT-off etc to the middle one in addition to torch-off. There are 24 actions possible in that app and any number of them can be assigned simultaneously to any position.
But I think that in the other app which you mentioned, only one action per position is possible.
Hi friend, this free app gives to you the solution and dont need root:

Just got my new (refurb) 2 XL. I would like to try to go stock android on this for a while.
Is there any way to achieve the one feature I cannot live without: long-press power button for flashlight?
I don't think so. You can quickly access it via the notification shade of course. You can set a swipe down gesture on the fingerprint sensor to call the notification shade. You should also be able to turn the flashlight on with voice commands, even with the screen off.
The above are only suggestions for workarounds, but I may have missed something.
I have a sloppy way I do it on 8.1 that uses Automagic and the volume key shortcut in Accessibility Settings. Tasker probably works too.
Turn the shortcut on, select a service. I selected a launcher I don't use. Note that this toggles the accessibility features of an app, so don't use something that needs this. Click to enable it on lockscreen.
Now when you hold both volume buttons for 3 seconds, the system notifies you the service has been toggled. Finally I have a flow in Automagic that triggers when this pops up and from there toggle the flashlight. It even works when locked IF the screen is on.
I use a similar method to customize the Active Edge thing.
Locked on Verizon. Have to be creative

This is probably the best option a double tap
Torchie app

Is there a way to disable notification pulldown on secured lockscreen? An ADB command or a root method is welcome.
This is the simplest portion of security a phone manufacturer could invent - no one likes to get their phone out of their hands and accidentally (or purposely) turn on Airplane mode, DND, Flashlight, etc.
I'd love to hear from someone that does see this as an issue and suggests there should be an option to disable the notification pulldown on secured lockscreen.
I absolutely agree with you. To this day, I can't believe that we can't at least have toggle switches for each aspect of what we want to allow to be done from the lock screen. I know there's a root app for controlling whether you can power off from the lock screen (besides the obvious hold the power button, or hold the power button + volume up, or whatever it is now to force turn off, or maybe that only reboots, but someone can still catch it especially if the bootloader is unlocked and turn off in that state.
I used to use a root app for your purpose exactly, but it stopped working a couple of Android versions ago and wasn't updated.
There are some more complex workarounds but I probably don't recommend them. I forget if Android on the Pixel forces you to have some QS tiles showing, or some quantity, or certain stock QS tiles, but if you have full flexibility, you can disable them all, replace them with dummy toggles (there are apps you can do that with) and use an alternate toggle app such as Bottom Quick Settings, however overall I found the solution inelegant although kudos to the developer anyway.
I just remind myself that I've never lost/misplaced or had my phone stolen so it isn't likely to cause a problem for me. If I'm held up at gunpoint, of course, that's something different, but they would likely force me to unlock my device anyway - I know someone who was beaten with a gun in their driveway until they unlocked their iPhone.
Some OEMs do give you a minor amount of control (like one of the very few kudos I can give to Samsung) - you can control whether you can power off from the lock screen or not, and yet you couldn't control if someone could turn on/off Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, GPS, and Airplane mode.

To add to your reply, this will obviously only work with a recent canary (Zygisk) build of LSposed (latest is here) as the current stable build of LSposed only supports Riru & Magisk now has it's own Zygote system which doesn't work with Riru (if I remember correctly?).
Just download LSposed above, flash in Magisk, install above APK, enable in LSposed & select System UI, reboot and it should work perfectly.
I think GravityBox also has an option to disable the pulldown, if/when it becomes available for Android 12.
