[Q] Moto X Developer Edition How to install Gravity Box on rooted 4.4

Anyone have the files and instructions on installing GB without Xposed? Thanks!

Not possible .....as far as I know. Its an xposed module, not a stand alone app.
I didn't Google it tho....maybe there's a way. Try Google.

Yeah, I have been. Been seeing a lot of issues running Xposed with 4.4. Saw a post of someone saying they will just stick with GB.

No issues here with Xposed on 4.4. I have Moto Maker MX, though.
I had issues getting Xposed running initially because I didn't turn write protection off. After that it was fine.

Did you use this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049 Also, do I install this in recovery using TWRP? Thanks!

No issues with Xposed framework, people were having issues with one of the modules on 4.4...MotoXposed. Use Xposed Framework and add the module GravityBox. Don't use the MotoXposed module.

I didn't use a thread to install it. I just installed Xposed and then got Gravity Box from within Xposed.

Using Xposed and Gravity Box here. Everything works great.

Same here. It installs just like any other apk file. Just be sure to get the right version of GravityBox. There is a version specifically for KitKat, designated with a [KK] at the end of the name.

I have a vzw dev edition. This is so simple. Download xposed, run it and it will say to activate it and then reboot. Next, you can find gravity box within the app, install, activate it in xposed, then reboot the phone again and profit. I would avoid Motoxposed. The features in gravity box are much better imho.
You can't have gravity box without xposed because gravity box is an xposed module.

1) Downloaded Xposed http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk
2) Downloaded and installed ES File Explorer File Manager from Play store to phone http://bit.ly/1aUylnl
3) Attached phone to computer via USB. Drag and dropped Xposed.apk to Internal storage
4) Launched ES Explorer File Manager on phone. Tapped Xposed.apk installed, activated, rebooted. Launched Exposed (It took a couple of minutes for Xposed to "LOAD", it was showing in the LOG within Xposed, so be patient. The LOG will show when loading is complete.
5) Use drop down menu, select "downloads". This will show the list of Modules within Xposed. Scroll down to GravityBox (KK) to download and install.
6) Reboot phone, launch Xposed, drop down and select Modules, check GravityBox (KK) to activate.
This should help other noobs like me

[Q] Problem with xposed

I am on 4.4.2 stock. I am unlocked and rooted. When I go to install xposed the app hangs and eventually force closes. I can install xposed on custom roms but not stock. Any suggestions?

Do you have ART on?

i appreciated the help. I figured it out. Apparently when I re rooted after the upgrade to 4.4.2 it didnt actually install the supersu app. I cant beleive I missed that.

[Q] WiFi tether app? (Rooted w/Towel Root, 4.4.2)

Is there a reliable app or even one that works to tether wirelessly if you're rooted with the temporary TowelRoot method? I'm on KitKat 4.4.2. All the reviews on the Play Store for the various WiFi apps have negative reviews. I don't want USB tethering either. Need it for my Nexus. Any help would be great.

I have. Unfortunately I get the message:
"Your carrier has blocked WiFi mode in latest phone update. Please use USB mode or bluetooth mode instead. "

use the xposed module "Moto X Hide Carrier for 4.4+" it hides the carrier label in the status bar as well as enabling native tethering.

Ok awesome. Now my only question would be.. Will xposed modules work with something as finicky as TowelRoot? I'm gonna give it a shot now until I'm able to get unlocked. (fingers crossed)

i thought towel root doesn't work on moto x? i had been using the jcase root method, and on occasion i have lost root when enabling subsequent xposed modules, but they work fine if i reroot and enable them again.

It is. It's not the greatest and a bit unreliable at times, but it's working for my Titanium Backup and root version of Greenify.
To find out if the xposed module installed successfully, how can I test tethering? I'm not sure where native tethering is located.

[Q] XT 1060 Native Tether on 4.4.4 (Unlocked/Rooted)

Ive only found a couple of topics on this, one was for dev/unlocked tether on 4.4 and the other was for locked/unrooted thether on 4.4.4. so both just missing what i need.
what is the method, or is there one, for using the native tether on an unlocked Verizon Moto X?

If you are unlocked and rooted the easiest way is to install Xposed framework and Moto Tether module.

no i dont want to do that. easy isnt my primary concern. my primary concern is cleanliness so i would perfer a real mod.
i just read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152
if im reading it correctly i can simply add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the build prop but im not yet sure if i read it right

FWIW, on the XT1049 (4.4.2) I tried it out by modifying these two properties in /system/build.prop under # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES:
ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0
ro.tether.denied=false
...and then I added the line:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
This seemed to work in a quick test loading a webpage, but I haven't used it beyond that.

Correct. The Tool in that thread works for the XT1060 which is bootloader unlocked and rooted.
The other way is to use the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
I use the wifi-tether APK on my Dev Edtion XT1060 for Verizon (unlocked and rooted, running 4.4.4, it worked on 4.4.2 and 4.4 also)

I don't see those in the XT1060 build.prop.

I think the best method is to use Xposed Installer and the X Tether (Moto Tether) module. This allows you to use the stock Mobile Hotspot app without having to modify/replace it. As easy as this is to setup (install Xposed Installer, install the module, reboot and done) it's just as easy to revert it when the next update comes out (just disable the module and Xposed Installer).
Bonus....you now have Xposed Installer so you can grab other modules if you like (ie...Root Cloak, Gravitybox, etc..).

I agree and it is a snap to uninstall it. But for some reason, the OP doesn't want to do that - I am guessing it is a work phone maybe and he wants it to be less obvious?

Xposed does make changes to system, and some modules can caused reduced battery life.
Not everyone wants that.
Some just want to be simply stock, rooted and have the ability to tether. Xposed and its modules is extra stuff installed.
@TheWhiteChallenger
There are two "easy" and "light weight" options already posted in this thread. The app in the other thread that modifies the build.prop on the fly, and the wifi tether for root apk.
Or you can install Xposed and the Tether Module like the other suggested.

Xposed itself is a very small modification and doing the Tether module is near the same as using the modified stock tether app. I've tried both methods and the Xposed method is cleaner and much simpler. Add in the bonus of an extremely simple method to revert without the hassle of removing/renaming/restoring the stock tether app and it's near perfect.
With that done....you can be done. The added bonus is you do have the option of adding in additional modules if you like.

we'll have to agree to disagree here.
WiFi tether apk I use is a stand alone app, doesn't need to be undone to update, only runs when i launch it. etc. The app from the other thread just changes/updates the build.prop. It does nothing else. Nothing needs to be undone to update. No extra apps running, etc.
There are many options because one-size doesn't fit all.

ok...
first, can we plz stop the exposed debate be for it goes any further, those kind of answers are exactly the answers this thread was started to avoid. i appreciate the attempt to help but ur just ignoring the intent of the original question and further complicating the issue.
second,i found the solution: use build prop editor (or whatever u want to use) to add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true , delete VzwEntitlementService.apk and its .odex, done

I wouldn't delete them, just rename them. If you want to take a future OTA, you'll need to put them back.

Hello, I also have an unlocked (via sunshine) verizon moto x, currently running 4.4.2 and rooted with towelpie because I have never installed a custom rom and don't want to muck anything up. But if it's not too hard to install a custom rom I may try. Is this what you have done?
All I have done is ran sunshine and unlocked the bootloader, it's still on 4.4.2 and rooted with towelpie. Do I have write since I unlocked the boot or do I have to install a twrp to gain write? I am familiar with sqlite editer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
is this something like what you used to write the command to tether?
Thank you

a text editor or notepad type app can be used to edit build.prop. SQLite or such wont work.
In theory, using Sunshine to gain unlocked bootloader should grant write protection disable, however I'm not familure enough with it to be sure. This post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45604505&postcount=33 should still work to allow you to check write protection status.
If you can undo TowelPieRoot (usually just rebooting, or at worst flashing system.img using mfastboot will work), you can easily flash TWRP and get a proper root and write protection disabled.
A custom rom is not needed to tether.
If you have root, and write protection disabled, two EASY ways to tether on Verizon are in Post #5 above...

Not familiar with towelpie, but if there is a way to undo the root, possibly by going to supersu and doing a full unroot, then you can regain root (with proper r/w to system) by flashing a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP and flashing the supersu.zip ( http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ )

Nexus 5: Install/Update, Uninstall Framework buttons disabled

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 on Marshmellow. I installed the framework 80 through recovery. The buttons in the app are disabled. It's kind of hard to search for, but haven't been able to find anything. Is there a way to re-enable those? Root access (via SuperSU) is allowed.
It says "xposed framework version 80 is active"
I've used the uninstaller for the framework as well, and they still remain disabled.
Thanks!

Because how xposed is installed and works since lollipop those buttons will probably never work. They are a holdover from the earlier installer.
