Pokemon go jellybean 4.1.2 mod

Is there any apk mods to play pokemon go on jellybean 4.1.2?

Requesting help Upgrading from Jellybean 4.3 to Kit Kat 4.4

Heya everyone!

I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.

I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.

Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):


If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/...xy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.

Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!

P. S. Would this thread help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...12-24-t2983357

[Guide]Emulate KitKat style Immersive mode on JellyBean

Hello guys, since most people with jellybean rom want to have Kitkat's immersive mode but that option is not available and enabling expanded desktop mode from gravity box [JB] makes apps go full screen but unable to swipe status bar like in kitkat, I decided to create this thread for users who want Kitkat's immersive mode on JellyBean devices.

In this giude I will be telling you how to emulate kitkat's immersive mode:)

1. Requirements :-

1. Rooted phone


2. JellyBean ROM


3. Xposed Installer/framework installed


4. App Settings xposed module


5. Swipe Status Bar (Play Store)


6. Gravity Box [JB](optional)

2. Method :-

1. Install App Settings and Swipe Status Bar


2. Open app settings and select force full screen mode on apps that you want.


3. Configure Swipe Status Bar the way you want.


4. Thats it! Now you have close to Kitkat style immersive mode.

3. Downloads :-

1. Xposed Installer -- http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.ro...osed.installer


2. SwipeStatusBar -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...atus_bar&hl=en

4. Theming Status Bar(optional) :-

1. You may use Potato Gradient or Tinted StatusBar Mod to theme to your liking.


2. You may use statusbar transparency manager from Gravity Box [JB].

5. Screenshots :-

Note :- You can try GravityBox's expanded desktop mode + SwipeStatusBar for the same effect if you want but I don't think that it will work.
