Don't know if this has been reported, but the last couple of nightlies cause certain GB QS tiles to be blank (e.g. data, location), and the battery tile to register 0%.

Installed GravityBox on 2013-12-08, worked nicely. Upgraded to 20131210 nightly via OpenDelta today, having to reinstall Xposed framework now.

Reinstalling the Xposed framework didn't help.

It helped for me. I had to open Xposed framework app again and to reinstall the framework parts, reboot- and it looks like GG works again.
It's always been the case that the framework had to be reinstalled and it does reactivate GB, but the QS tiles are still messed up. Are you saying you're not having this problem?

GB/XPosed also say explicitly not to use them with custom ROMs, or at your own risk.

True that. It was working on N4 up until the 12/9 update. I tried reinstalling GB and restored data from a Titanium backup and it seemed to work... until I rebooted again. Ah well, I can live without those tiles if everything else is working.

Yup. While I am a big fan of Xposed, and GravityBox is awesome on devices without custom firmwares, use of either of them is an unsupported configuration that is invalid for bug reports.

I read somewhere that 4.4.1 broke GB.

The main reason I installed Gravity Box is because of the customizable QS tiles and the lockscreen shortcuts. I believe sooner or later these features will be implemented on OmniROM. Then I won't have the need for it.
If your tiles are messed up after restarting / updating, try to disable Gravity Box from Xposed framework app, clear the Gravity Box settings, reboot, re-enable Gravity Box, reboot again, customize Gravity Box and try not to restart the phone again because you will face the problem again.
Quick Settings
Omni will have Quick Settings customization ?

I'd be very surprised if it didn't. But I doubt it's up high on priority list...
Another reason to use GB is their circular battery has the correct kitkat color (not always 100% white) and it's vertically aligned with the rest of the icons.
I noticed that toggles, that mess up are "flippable" ones. I don't use that exclusive feature of omnirom, so it would be very nice if developers added checkmark in settings that would disable this feature.
p.s. Hoped that new 4.2.2 omni update will fix this problem, but it didn't.
p.s. 2. If you want to use other features of GG, just don't touch quick toggle settings, or they will mess up after reboot
I noticed this also and it was asked about in the t-mobile note II omnirom thread. Someone said that if you disable the module, reboot, clear app data, re-enable the module, reboot, then just leave all the tiles as is (for example, don't modify anything) then the tiles survive a reboot. Kinda defeats the purpose, since you can change anything but at the very least all the tiles still work and you can still flip them without it breaking. Hopefully it gets fixed soon
The title of this thread is not entirely correct. Omni didn't break GB; KitKat is moving forward, 4.4.2 is progressing and GB is an xposed module that's not keeping up the pace for now (not that it should, thought).
Native customization will be coming soon, I believe. Omni devs are working on the foundations, we can't ask from them to drop that to get their hands on customization right now. But it's on the roadmap, and considering how fast they brought us a clean code and stable KitKat, that will probable come fast.
For now, we got other options too. For example, there are apps that bring toggles to the notification drawer without needing xposed.

I've been trying to fix this the past few days, glad to know it's not user error but lack of official current support. GB should definitely take the opportunity to merge or stand out as a reliable module very soon. Once someone else takes what they have and can keep up, who knows.
Let me join this discussion to make things more clear.
I don't intend to write too many lines about GB's history, its main goal and policy but I'd like to mention one important thing.
GB is basically a non-flashing custom ROM which primary goal is to bring custom-rom like experience to closed-source platforms (like MediaTek) which currently don't have opportunity to have custom ROMs built from source.
Later while evolved, the secondary goal was established - to bring custom-rom like experience to devices running stock Android.
What I see happening around Xposed Framework recently is that people are basically often turn to using it to "patch" what they can't find in a custom ROM. However, Xposed modules (especially the complex ones) should not be used to supplement missing features in custom ROMs built from source. The best option for a user is to go ask devs of the custom ROM he uses and request those missing features. (This is also clearly mentioned in GB's official thread). People don't combine two ROMs in one device to get more features, neither (thanks god it's not possible!)
GB is not here to keep track of what's changing in all custom ROMs available out there. It is simply unmanageable. GB is here to extend the stock Android experience just like any other custom ROM does.
And words like "GB can't keep up pace with KitKat" sound funny. Actually, it keeps up with stock KitKat pretty well.
I understand these words come from people who have zero experience with GB, but anyway.
GB is currently fully compatible with the latest stock KitKat and is even bringing Dialer tweaks in upcoming version which none of custom ROMs have to this day (flip actions, call vibrations, etc.).
I think i'm like the only person in the world having these problems. When I try to get help everyone ignores my post. I've tried 4.4.2 and 4.4 and I just cant get ART to work. Ill select it and it will optimize the apps but when I go back into Dev Options it still says Delvik. Countless times. Another major problem that I've been having is that when I install Xposed Framework with the "Disable Hooks blah blah option" off my Nav Bar goes away until I check that setting and then they come back. This sucks because I can't use Gravity Box to pimp my phone. I've been struggling with a plain old delvik running Moto X.

Simple, totally remove Xposed framework & only then will the runtime switch
---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------
I believe Xposed is stopping the switch to keep you from a crash.
I'm on a completely stock unrooted retail version of the Moto X (XT1052) in the UK.
The below article says switching to ART run time will speed up the overall performance of my device.

My question is, are there any side effects to doing this?
Are all the popular apps like Skype, Facebook, Twitter, etc compatible with this feature??

You should be fine --- try it! Any issues, and you can always switch back to Dalvik.
The only reason most people avoid ART is because it is incompatible with Xposed/GravityBox....but since you aren't rooted, this doesn't apply to you.
Good Luck
Just tried it and it's made my phone slower than before lol.
Also my power button doesn't respond no more so I'm not able to lock my phone as before.
Facebook didn't run either.
Currently changing back to Dalvik again as I don't think the feature is properly ready yet. Will wait for the official Moto release.
I switched to ART today out of curiosity. Everything works as usual, even xposed modules and gravitybox too... I only noticed that my phone is somewhat smoother. Maybe placebo effect...

Lol, you can't have Xposed and ART at the same time. It must have reverted to Dalvik, check it :laugh:

Yeah mate unfortunately that's the only option
Yup, @devilsdouble is exactly correct. You can *thank* the Xposed DEVs for this. If it didn't switch you back to dalvik automatically, you would be in a boot-loop now...and probably have to return to stock in order to recover. :good:
Xposed is not compatible with ART. Adapting it to be compatible is in the works, but it's hard telling when that will be completed.

Yesterday I did switch to ART for testing. So far, I have not seen much difference.
I'll test for a couple of weeks and post my 2 cents!
ART allegedely is better for your battery because It uses more than just the JIT compiler. It also takes a while for the apks to be reoptimized compared to how long Dalvik takes to optimize apks after some have been added or updated. The version that comes with 4.4.4 is good but ART likely won't be fully realized until Android L.
Just a little piece of advice, since I just had to factory reset the phone: do not install Monument Valley under ART. It is not fully compatible, and I after an update I got stuck on the boot screen.
Calendar lost is still an art problem - easy to solve with restart, but bugging..
I have used my moto x as a droid pod so i have no cellular connection and my home wifi is screwy so i can't set automatic time and rely on it. The time doesn't set itself when using automatic options. which is fine with me i can just do it manually no problem, right?
Wrong, i haven't really discovered a pattern yet but it seems that every time i reboot my clock sets itself ahead 1h 3m. i think after a series of reboots its totally wrong now. my time currently is 9:50pm and the clock on the phone is 2:58am. the clock in recovery is in synce with the os time but it also skips ahead with reboots i think as i said i really havent determined a clear pattern among issue
any advice? build.prop edit? i did my first edit this evening and it made me feel like a fricken genius so im cool with that but i doubt that there is anything wrong with build.prop. my OS is heavily modified with exposed framework using Xblast and/or gravity box. any help appreciated and will be thanked therefore.

Like the title states, I'm running Verizon LG G2 (VS980), on kitkat 4.4.2. I brute force rooted after taking an OTA update and then installed G2 Xposed.
Since installing Xposed i haven't been receiving any voicemail notifications.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem or have a fix/workaround for this problem?
Thanks for the help
I used all versions of stock with xposed and never had that issue.
Its more than likely not xposed but a module doing It. Remove it to make sure its working. Then re add your modules one at a time while testing till you find the culprit.
Lastly, this is not the place for questions, its for development only. Ask a mod to move this thread into the Q&A
Thanks for your reply. Could a mod please move this to the proper q&a section?
As for the framework I've only got xposed and tweaksbox installed and the hide VM notification is left unchecked in tweaksbox.
i had some VM issues and fixed it by changing my Verizon Wireless Feature option on the verizon website. There are 3 - I think they are Basic Voice Mail, Basic Visual Voice Mail, Premium Visual Voice Mail. On 4.2 Jellybean, i believe i had to go back to Basic VM. Basic VVM didn't work. You may wanna try switching them around.
