Are you familiar with the Xposed Framework? If yes, there is a chance that you must be familiar with the term Gravity Box Xposed Module. But if you are not and you are a totally new to the concept; let me tell you that Gravity Box is a Xposed module just similar to those of other Xposed modules but not at all the same. It got its unique feature which distinguishes it from rest in the category.
With the idea of bringing the custom ROM features onto stock ROMs, the Xposed Framework was built and Gravity Box is probably the only module which follows this idea to its best. These terms were disappeared over the time of period, may be because of the unavailability of Xposed framework or Gravity box compatible to Android Nougat.

Guide to Install Gravity Box Xposed Module on Android Nougat
Since long we have been waiting for the Xposed Framework port from rovo89, the developer. But it said that most probably it can only arrive after Android O comes around. But the unofficial Xposed framework for Android Nougat is now available which helps Gravity box to regain its lost fame and popularity within a short period. The unofficial port is not complete yet but it is best suited to you if you are good at taking the calculated risks.
Gravity box has got so many features making installation of custom ROM pointless. There are so many to list. But right from sound setting, tweaking the behavior of various UI elements, custom animations to displaying your ROM your name; it can do everything.
Below is the list of few highlighted features of Gravity Box available on official XDA development thread:
- Pie controls
- Phone and Media tweaks
- Lockscreen and display tweaks
- QuickSettings tile management with additional tiles
- Status bar and Navigation bar tweaks
- Power tweaks and Hardware/navigation key actions
