[Q] Can I install Xposed framework and GravityBox in my Galaxy Core II?

Hi, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Core II through my carrier's shop a week ago. I already rooted the phone. I'm also using Nova launcher 3.3 (latest), and everything else is stock. Core II came with Android 4.4.2 installed, carrier's version, but as I am a superuser, I've deleted a lot of useless stuff.
The question:
¿Can I install Xposed framework and GravityBox [KK] in this device?
This is what I'd install if someone here confirms that I can:
Xposed Installer 2.7 experimental1: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
GravityBox [KK] 3.5.1: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox
Is it OK?
I've noticed, reading GravityBox's thread, this:
Compatibility
- Supports AOSP devices running vanilla Android 4.4
- Supports Motorola Moto G Dual SIM running stock KitKat
- Supports ThL 5000 running stock KitKat and potentially other MediaTek devices running pure MediaTek ROMs
- DOES NOT support devices running ROMs vastly modified by device manufacturers (HTC Sense, Samsung Touchwiz, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, ...)
- SHOULD NOT be used with custom ROMs like CM, AOSPA, RootBox, SlimBean and others - it makes no sense since the most of the features are already
in the ROM (may cause conflicts and unexpected behaviour)

Does that mean that if you have a Samsung, Xperia, HTC... mobile, GravityBox won't work due to compatibility issues?
My goal is to change the function of the volume buttons to only modify the volume of "Music, video, games and other media", in every situation, so it doesn't matter if I'm in the home screen, in YouTube App or using Chrome, always change the "Music, etc" volume, not Notification's one, or Ringtone's, or system's. So if I accidentally press volume up, the phone does not changes from Mute to Sound, or changes the volume of the ringtone, and all that stuff. They told me that I can accomplish that with GravityBox.
Thanks, hope someone here can help me out!

Yes you can i have the same device and i installed xposed and gravity box and both worked well

Wow, thank you. Installed and working nicely. How awesome is GravityBox!

on my core 2 it says ''xopsed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 19 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a).'' and so the install/update button is not highlighted.

Use the latest (v2.7 experimental1) Xposed.apk file from here.

Not compatible with core 2
I installedxxposed on core2 but it says not compatiblewith SDK 19. I installed a custom rom to make it run, but the rom was unstable so I had to go back to default Samsung core2 rom and now xposed is not working on the default Samsung rom. Amy way to make it run?

So you are running a KitKat ROM, right? You should use the Xposed v2.7 experimental1 from the Xposed repo.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Core 2 "SM-G355HN". There are other Samsung Galaxy Core 2 models that may behave different. It was very easy, though I did it long time ago, I don't remember well. I just followed the very simple and easy steps. First, I installed the Xposed framework, and then the module Gravity Box (for KitKat). But I don't remember the exact steps I did, sorry.

Same problem..framework wont update...bt i did it 1st time.. after uninstall it i cant update now...in galaxy core2..

firmware issue
my dear..............
ive searched solution for this problem because i already hv that problem you just download the old firmware of core 2 1 or two years back from sam mobile flash it root it again you will see xposed working im indeed a happy user of core 2 once again happy hacking......
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/INU/
from there download firmware from date 2014 or less donot download firmwares greater than 2014 <year>

Me too using both and they r working well..

[Q] Is Xposed compatible with KFHD (2012 model)

I'm sorry to bother you but I can't find an answer,when I google closed+kfhd I get all sorts of unrelated stuff. I downloaded the installer but it shows a peculiar message. Its written on the attached picture.
It seems odd to be but not impossible. The install button is a little lighter than the rest so it might not even let me download anything, but I wanted to ask before trying and getting stuck in a bootloop or worse fo no reason.

your android versions is lolipop? (5.0+) isn't support this version
and latest support of xposed is kitkat (4.4.x)

Oh I see... So this was the problem? Thanks for letting me know, I was really surprised, I thought it was a processor issue. I suppose they'll make a lollipop version eventually ^_^

Xposed GravityBox - BUG?

Hello everybody, I am Brazilian and I had a very strange problem on my phone after installing GravityBox module. Well, GravityBox is not working until I install Framework for recovery, after that, I managed to open it, but unexpected things occurred in my smarphone. Once opened, the notification bar Transparante was a very strange way and my phone stopped recognize yourself the network ad-hoc wifi I created in my windows.
I believe the bug occurs because of my rom, as I use a galaxy, it came with a TouchWiz.
If they can give me more information, I will be grateful!
Note: Ignore my English, I know it's horrible.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Gran Prime Duos, SM-G530BT model, we can suggest me one custom rom, I'll be even more grateful!
Please, if this is the wrong area to the topic, excuse me.

You must install Xposed before installing any modules like GravityBox. I don't know what will happen if you do it backwards, but it could be bad.
Also, in order to use Xposed at all on that device, you must have a deodexed ROM and use one of the unofficial versions of Xposed.
What ROM do you have (including version number)? What exact Xposed files did you install, what recovery did you use, and how did you do it? Were there any error messages during installation? Are there any error messages in the Xposed log? What version of GravityBox did you install?
Have you tried uninstalling GravityBox, and reinstalling it correctly through Xposed?

Last I heard Samsung and touchwiz needs a special version.

From the Gravity Box thread:
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
- DO NOT USE WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE CM,AOSPA,ROOTBOX,AOKP,SLIM, ETC... IT MAKES NO SENSE AND CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

So if you want to use Gravity Box it would be better if you had an AOSP rom but you have a Samsung phone so I don't think you will find one...

Battery drain + error messages ( NEW TO ROOT - HELP!)

Hi,
I am new here. I am also new to rooting as I just rooted to 7.1 yesterday. I wanted the pixel look on my 6p. I believe I used superSu (not sure what that is lol I need some education), but that is the app on my phone. Everything is working pretty good aside from 2 things: 1. snapchat login doesn't work and from what I have seen online I cannot uninstall xposed installer because as of now I do not even have one installed because it's not released for Nougat yet. Or is that what SuperSu is? Also my battery is draining like crazy.... someone please tell me how to fix that and possibly educate me a bit on what these particular apps are, superSu and xposed installer. I am sorry to create another thread if these things were already stated but I am so confused..
Thank you!,
Brianna

[Guide] Install Xposed/Rooting Op3 Open Beta 7

Looking for Xposed on open beta 7
Well I HV got you covered with this simple short Guide
Many people get error / status 1 wile flashing normal Xposed.zip
This method will install magisk and Xposed framework
First download files which are required:
Magisk V9: Click Here
Xposed Installer zip: Click Here
PhhSuper user zip: Click Here
PhhSuper user : Click Here
Xposed installer: Click Here
Twrp Modified: Click Here
Now Flash
1)Modified Twrp
2)Magisk V9
3)SuperSu (Optional)
4)And Xposed Installer zip
5)Reboot ( First reboot will take some time )
Install PhhSuper followed by Xposed installer apk
Done
* Xposed is not fully compatible with Nov Security Patches yet, so some modules would end you up in a bootloop!!
You can though update to latest version of Xposed(System less) via the app itself.
System will reboot twice when you flash SuperSU
Rovo89 has released new Xposed framework version that works with latest beta built v7 of OOS. I've just tried it and it work.
First uninstall few unwanted apps which you don't use if you get error like no space etc..
This new build will not give bootloop. It works with Nov 1 patch!.
!!!!This is a test version risk is all on you don't blame me.!!!

Can someone confirm that xposed works correctly?

Only certain modules work like youtubeadaway, certain ones will won't let you pass the boot screen, like greenify xposed

A few steps are missing !
- Flash your favorite kernel on top of this.
- Finally enjoy the best performance and battery life on your phone.
Oops I almost forgot the final step !
- Complain to the kernel developer and ask him to fix:
....the battery drain.
...the slow fingerprint reader
...the phone overheating
...the random reboots
...the weak wifi signal
...any strange behaviour that needs fixing

Any list of working modules ?

I know that but my question is: does this method bypass Google's November Security Patch? Xposed doesn't work for this reason..

This post was not required at all IMO. Flashing and using Xposed is totally one's choice and people are totally aware that Xposed means no support from kernel/ROM devs. But why this unrequired bashing?

I totally agree that people have the choice to flash and install whatever they want, this is certainly the main reason why we love android. However many people root, flash Xposed and more recently magisk without understanding the implications. Those are amazing pieces of software, really powerful and I have a huge respect for the developers. However I don't think anyone should flash those without a basic understanding of what they do to the system. (And why it means no support from kernel/ROM devs).
My post was mainly a parody of the current discussions in the forums. Simply, look at this thread, it's supposed to be a guide to help people and make things easier for everyone. Most of the replies should be something like 'thanks it works great', not confused people or with issues (like bootloops for example....)
