First. I am not the dev and I am not the one to be questioned about ....
Second. I am just reporting a free METHOD that I am using to have Call record and some status bar mods available on my ODEXED MC2
Third. I have JKAY last version 14.93 with deluxe ... and for this I can anly modify the clock color on the status bar .... MAY BE THAT ... other mods are working on stock rom ... I really do not know
Fourth. I do not take any responsability for what are the consequences
The method in VERY SIMPLE STEPS is the following
1) Backup your ROM (you never know)
2) Download XPOSED FRAMEWORK from here (PRESS ON ZIP TAB)
you can have further info about XPOSED here .... also about how to uninstall it
3) Install XPOSED
4) Open XPOSED and press on the INSTALL/UPDATE
5) Reboot your phone
6) Download TWEAKBOX from here
7) Install TWEAKBOX
8) Go to XPOSED Installer, tap on "Modules" and enable TWEAKBOX.
9) Reboot again.
10) Open TWEAKBOX app, tap on ''Statusbar'' and adjust the settings you want
11) Download CALL RECORDING module from here (PRESS ON ZIP TAB)
many other modules are available here and here
I DID NOT TRY ......
12) Install CALL RECORDING module
13) Go to XPOSED Installer, tap on "Modules" and enable CALL RECORDING.
14) Open TWEAKBOX app, tap on ''phone'' and adjust the settings you want
15) Reboot.....
REMEMBER THAT CALL RECORDING WORKS ONLY AFTER THE MEDIA SCAN HAS FINISHED SACNNING YOUR FILES.....
I hope this may be useful

1) Download Xposed Module from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2) Install the framework and reboot
3) Download and Install this Module http://d-h.st/PeV
4) Open Xposed Framework app then open Modules and Tick the Modaco toolkit module
5) Click the Modaco toolkit module and then go to "device Specific" and press HTC One
6) Tick "Enable Volume Wake" option and then reboot
Congrats now you have enabled volume wake , though it was made for HTC One but still it works on our device
Thanks......The power button really holds me back on installing some roms

Please note that this won't work on 4.2.2 as Xposed doesn' support sdk 17. To get Volume rocker on 4.2.2 is a little advanced.
1) Extract the Settings.apk and framework-res.apk of your rom
2) Install framework using "apktool if framework-res.apk"
3) Decompile Settings.apk using "apktool d Settings.apk"
4) Open up values/bools.xml using Gedit or Notepad++
5) Look for the line that says "hasVolumeRockerWake"
6) Change the value of that line from false to true
7) Now save and close
8) Recompile apk using "apktool b Settings"
9) In the folder named dist your finished apk will be there
10) Sign your apk
11) Install as system app
12) If you now go into Settings>Display there will be an option to enable Volume Rocker Wake
Note:
If after you installed the apk the app doesn't appear then follow this information.

(My thread is also available in the Nextbit Development Forum)
This thread will always be a Work In Progress. Please be patient, as we receive new development it will be posted here. Thank you very much!
Do subscribe to this thread to get notified on any new updates.
The "Complete Guide" series is back, now for the holy Nextbit Robin! (check out my profile for other "complete guide" threads for my past devices)
First things first, this guide is made mainly for our great Nextbit Robin - Ether. Some steps may or may not work for other phones...
Please note that the results of the following methods may vary. I will not be held responsible for destroying your device. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For increased chances of these working, ensure you're on the latest version of Robin.
If you don’t know what rooting, flashing and *explosion* means, this probably isn’t the thread for you.
Credit me if you want to take anything from this thread. DO NOT create duplicates of such threads.
Enjoy!
Complete guide to all things Robin:
NOTE: The chapters are in chronological order, meaning everything after Chapter 2 assumes you already have root and unlock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 0: TERMINOLOGY (in my own words)
- Terms
- Tidbit
(To be honest, if you need to even look at this, this thread isn't for you.)
- Root: Gaining full administrative control of your device. "Jailbreaking" in terms of Android.
- ROM: The customized operating system that your Android runs on.
- Kernel: The thingy that links software and hardware
- Radio: The thingy that sends and receives messages, calls and data.
- Flash: Installing a zipped file in Recovery Mode
- Recovery: The software that allows tweaking and flashing, and other weird stuff that will destroy your phone.
- Fastboot: The thingy that allows recovery mode to happen.
- Brick: The term says it all.
- Bootloader: Quite literal; loads the phone for bootup.
- Nandroid backup: A backup-ed image of your current system
- ADB: Android Debug Bridge; some command line tool that sends information from and to the phone to, and from the computer
- CWM: ClockWorkMod; a recovery system
- XDA: The holy website that is full of weird stuff that makes your phone wayyyy better.
Now let's paint a picture:
Imagine you are your Android phone.
Before "rooting", you are trapped in jail.
Upon "rooting and unlocking", you are released from jail.
You go to a shopping mall named "XDA".
You find a credit card lying on the floor from the company "Recovery". On the back, it says there is no passcode required, and there is a infinite amount of money inside.
You enter a store and get a sweatshirt with the word "ROM" on it.
You didn't buy the shirt, the shirt just happens to be free, but still requires you to swipe your credit card anyways.
You keep the receipt as a "backup", just in case the shirt spoils.
Just then, you get greedy and get all the badges in the store.
Stupidly, you pin all the badges on your shirt, turning it as heavy as a "brick".
Then, the shirt rips, unable to put (it rhymes with boot) it back together again.
Luckily you still have the receipt to return the shirt, and return back to your good old disgusting shirt.

---------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 2: ESSENTIALS
- Backup
- Root
- Unlock
- TWRP
- Flashing
- Restoring backups
BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
Use “Titanium Backup” batch backup
1. Menu -> Batch
2. Run -> Backup user apps + system data
OR:
Manual Non-Root Method:
- Messages: “SMS Backup & Restore”
- Contacts: should be synced with the cloud, if not: Export to SIM card
- Calendar: should be synced with the cloud
- Notes: use “Google Keep”, it will be synced with the cloud
- User Dictionary: “User Dictionary Backup”
- Call Logs: “Call Logs Backup & Restore”
- Launcher (assuming you use Nova Launcher): Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
- Apps: “Helium” or any other app
- Nandroid Backup
store all backups in internal storage and transfer to your computer
ROOT + UNLOCK + TWRP RECOVERY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nextbit-robin/development/tool-robin-toolkit-v1-0-root-twrp-t3375908
(kudos to @daavm)
1. Download the tool
2. Just follow the instructions
**NOTE: Relocking again will result in data wipe**
FLASHING:
Clean Flash:
1. Backup your data!
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
3. Go into settings and enable “Use Aroma File Manager”
4. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System & Data
5. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
6. Flash any GApps package. (the one I use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798; kudos to @raulx222 & @slim Team)
7. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
8. Reboot
9. DONE!
OR:
Dirty Flash: (flashing without wiping anything, used for updating to newer ROMs or reflashing)
1. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
2. ONLY wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
4. Flash any NEWER GApps package. If you manually installed/updated through Play Store, skip this step.
5. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
6. Reboot
7. DONE!
It is perfectly fine if the first bootup takes a while, that is perfectly normal. Upon boot, Android will optimize itself so just let it do it’s work. Do put the phone under a fan as it does tend to get hot when optimizing since it is at max brightness or some dumb reason.
If it takes ages (like over 10mins) to boot up, it means you might have bricked your phone! Do source the XDA indices for any unbricking tutorial, or keep a lookout for an update on this page for instructions. (I don’t have any/don’t need to find any as I have never bricked any Android, so ya.)

DO NOT dirty flash if your newer ROM:
- Doesn't allow/support it
- Has a major update
- Has a Android version or firmware jump (e.g. from Lollipop to M)
- Is a totally different ROM from the previous one (e.g. from Stock to Cyanogenmod)
If after dirty flashing you experience any ROM issues (e.g. battery drain, lag etc.), I would advice you to do a clean flash instead.

RESTORING BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
1. Use “Titanium Backup” batch restore

6. Launcher Settings: (assuming you use Nova Launcher) Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
**What can I manually restore?**
Red: DO NOT RESTORE, YOU’LL END UP BRICKING/BOOTLOOPING YOUR PHONE!!!
White: 99% safe, go ahead
Green: 70% safe, beware of potential brick
Grey Stirkethrough: DO NOT RESTORE

Honestly, I don't encourage battery managers such as "Battery Doctor" or "Clean Master (Speed Booster)" as realistically, it takes up more battery or RAM in trying to keep the app open to "properly manage the battery". Yes there are benefits such a having a zippier G3, but there are better methods out there.

CHAPTER 8: ADDITIONAL INFO
- Device Architecture
Architecture: arm64 + arm
Screen DPI: 480
Drawable Class: xxhdpi (extra extra high density)
Google Play services - Build Suffix: (-448)
How does this affect me?
Well, when you install apps, downloading the correct arch version means the app is better optimised for our phone (and you'll potentially save some internal storage space too!)
As for Google Play services, you MUST install the correct build version. (Example: v9.0.90 (448-xxxxxxxx) )

Except it doesn't! Nextbit have explicitly stated that rooting your phone or loading a custom ROM etc will NOT void the warranty.
For increased chances of these working, update your KDZ to Lollipop first using OTA or Flash Tool.
