ADB Mod Installer

My latest attempt to get a selection of Mods to you guys. 12 different clocks, statusbar icon colors, notification background and text colors, navbar gone as well as navbar height adjustments for those that want to keep their navbars. QS background colors. You have to extract this zip directly on your c drive. It should look like c:\TulsadiverModsInstaller then all the folders and files directly inside that.

Run the TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat and install the base first.

I think mine is having a bug with Facebook messenger. I notice lmt stops occasionally after closing the chat head. Turning the screen off and on again restores it and I've also installed fingerprint swipes as an alternative
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] slaydog:
I have always used Swipe Navigation on this phone, and it has always worked. PM me if I can help you troubleshoot....

Hi Tulsadviser,

Does this update include 4 column title of quicksetting?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oxman:
Nice work, could you do the same thing for Statusbar please ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The base has 4 columns. I have other options but didn't seem to get it in the main menu. I'll fix that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
In my opinion you are better off using immersive mode to hide the status bar rather than eliminating it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oxman:
You could say the same thing about navbar ;)

I want eliminating it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You can try this but I have no idea if it will work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
Hi Tudsadviser,

I have tried you latest mod on my Pixel 2 XL. The installation was smooth but the navigation bar and quicksetting panel (3 column) were unchanged. I think that the mod did not take affect. Could you advise me something about it?

Updated:

Just tried the TWRP flashable version. It works so well. Could you help with adding 4 column quicksetting to this mod version? Thank you very much.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oxman:
No, Android force reboot :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The base should be 4 column. There isn't anything else you need to flash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
It is so strange. I just flash the fashable mod for 8.1 but QS only has 3 column.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Upload a screenshot of your directory on your PC how you have the adb version setup.

Does the pixel 2 and 2 XL still have dual partions, a and b slots?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oxman:
Yes, a and b slots
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
Attached is the screenshot.

For the a and b slots, I don't know how to check it. As I told you, the instalation is fine, but no effect.

I flashed the twrp flashable version, it worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Does SuperSU ask to give adb permission to run as root?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
With a root explorer, look in /data/local and see if there is a busybox there and check the permission. If it isn't 755, make it so and try adb again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
yes, busybox is there with 755 permission. ADB shell also ask for superSu permission (of course I granted). My Pixle 2 XL is rooted with magisk 14.5.

The installation of the Base is fine--> system reboot--> still 3 column QS --> installed navibar gone is OK--> chose reboot option---> navibar is till there.

Your twrp fashable worked for me. Could you do me a favor with a flashable version with 4 column. Thank so much
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
Is there any way to change the color of QS tite icon?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I have been unsuccessful at doing it so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
So sad, it seems that 8.1 is more hardcoding
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bbrannack:
If I just want the center clock mod what should I flash?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] madscribblerz:
:laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
Could you share me what you have done with your navibar gone mod? I just want to do this for myself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] madscribblerz:
What did you do to make the quick setting tiles 4 colums?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nhan1411:
I modify the systemUI or you may try this:

[MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION] if we want to revert back showing the navbar again! how do we get it back? thx in advance and thanks for your awesome work
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
There should be a restore zip on your sdcard in a folder called ozop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] freddienuxx:
Ok thx

[MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION] ok im on sept stock rom still lol. and i flashed the sept nav gone and i just tried the restore zip in the sept nav gone and the navbar is still gone. am i doing something wrong? thx in advance
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] WhiteReign:
Does any one know how to remove the circle at the bottom of the nave bar?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ANDR01DN00B:
Is there any way to undo this without having to reflash the factory images? In other words, can someone make an undo zip?

EDIT: trying the ozop zip

EDIT2: Looks like that didn't work lol. Could someone please upload the stock fw res and SystemUIGoogle apks?

TIA!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
Does this mod somehow makes the screen unresponsive while charging? My screen freezes while charging, and remains black, I have to hard reset it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mackentosh:
Only app that doesn't have the unresponsive glitch is "Custom navigation bar" app. The developer found and fix the glitch that caused it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
You're saying custom navigation bar had an unresponsive glitch?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mackentosh:
Yes it did
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mackentosh:
See, and I haven't had the problem in about a week now
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
Thanks a lot man, I've tried everything but wasn't able to find the root of the problem
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GridironTrenches:
is there a way to revert the navbar mod to default settings
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nandolkz:
Best mod ever bro, thanks :svetius:

How can hide after a few seconds Navigation bar and swipe to show again? With magisk

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Custom nav bar does this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cuzmanbro:
Works well however an issue happens when using keyboard in some apps. There are clipping issues, so far noticed in Facebook Messenger but it's not too bad, however for YouTube, when I want to write a comment on a video, I can't see the text box while typing.

Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheCheese45:
yea i tried, got bootlooped. had to flash factory images again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Hitting the thanks button like you always do is more than enough. I don't have a donate button I just like to help people get the most enjoyment out of their phones as possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] THEbigSWEEN:
Well thank you, I really appreciate it! This makes the 3rd phone now that you've helped make better and let me have it set up the way I want it. If you need any more help, files, testing or anything else as 2 XL development progresses just shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] varun.gid:
is it possible to reduce the Navbar Size?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
On 8.0 it is but not 8.1, at least for right now. The navbar icons shrink to be very small.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] THEbigSWEEN:
So just wanted to throw this out there, if anyone was like me using immersive mode until we had this mod you might have noticed Active Edge wouldn't work unless the navigation buttons were showing, and some reported occasional issues with the screen not coming back on right away when trying to unlock the phone. Well after installing this mod the immersive mode settings persist, so even though I don't use Active Edge much, I was trying to play around with it earlier and noticed the squeezes weren't registering. Then I remembered the issue with immersive mode, so if you want to be able to use Active Edge again you will need to enter in a command prompt: adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] soundneedle:
Will this affect magisk? Meaning if I flash via TWRP will magisk then fail the safety net check?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't know a whole lot about magisk but this is a system install, not systemless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sweteg:
Hey. I came from the Google Pixel 2 thread on this. May I ask you a few questions from your testing?

1. For the adb shell command, does this activate edge again when screen is on? Or both when screen is off or on?

2. If I removed this app and went back to normal with the navbar, do you need to put in an adb shell reversal?

2. Have you ran into any apps you randomly use where it might freeze phone because of immersive mode?

Thanks for your help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] THEbigSWEEN:
1. The command is just to turn off immersive mode. The issue is when immersive mode is active, Active Edge doesn't work unless you swipe from the edge of the screen to show the nav bar. Then for screen off Active Edge, in Settings>System>Language, input & gestures>Active Edge, you can toggle if you want it to work with the screen off.

2. This isn't an app, it's modified framework specific for the 2 XL that needs flashed in TWRP.

2. (3. you had "2." twice :p) I never ran into any issues with apps when I was using the forced system wide immersive mode. I only had the nav bar hidden, kept the status bar, so not sure if that would make a different, but it shouldn't. Only issues I had were the other reported ones with Active Edge and sometimes the screen wouldn't come back one for a period of time when trying to wake the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] UniX1rm:
What am I missing with this mod ? I was able to remove the navbar with the build prob

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Then using my pie editor and all is working well on the November updates. Edge is working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] KHANrad_SIN:
is there any way to get the navbar back after flashing this mod just in case?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
This zip creates a restore zip in a folder on your sdcard called ozop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] KHANrad_SIN:
ah i see thanks, will try it out once TWRP is working on the November update
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dredq:
Is there anyway to flash this without TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] KHANrad_SIN:
nah I don't think so
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dredq:
Yeah, I did not think so. We can't use FlashFire or Flash Gordon or Rashr Flash Tool on Magisk correct?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] KHANrad_SIN:
Never used FlashFire of Flash Gordon so I'm not sure. As far as Magisk goes, to my knowledge you can't really use magisk to flash things that aren't magisk modules if that's what you're asking. (Unless you're talking about a possible magisk module that we can install that has the same function as the zips in the OP?)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
I successfully sideloaded the Pixel2XLNavbargoneSept zip file while on the September 5th patch and now I'm stuck in a bootloop with a "Your device is corrupt" message. Awesome.

Any ideas other than flashing the full factory images over again?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dredq:
I think your only option is to fastboot factory image. But remember to take out -w on the flash-all.bat to save your data.

Good Luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Fixed!

Performed a fresh factory image install of the September patch, then installed Magisk and patched the stock boot image. Then I went through the process of flashing this Navbar Gone in TWRP and it booted right up. Everything's looking great so far! So I think the issue was that I wasn't using a patched boot image.

I've opted to use Pie Control (Play Store link) for navigation, for now. But will evaluate other options as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I've been experimenting with a way to flash this by putting part of my zip on the root folder, some on the sdcard (due to size and how long it took to copy this part to the root folder), then flashing using adb. Worked on my Nexus 5X.

First, mounted system

adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,/remount /system"

Then flashed it

adb shell su -c sh /data/tmp/vrtheme/installtheme.sh

I had to use a modded installtheme.sh, not the one currently in the zip.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dredq:
What command line did you use on adb? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Tested on my Pixel. Worked great. Just did a center clock. Already had my navbar removed.

Busybox must be installed for this to work.

Edit:. Posted the necessary files and detailed instructions in main post.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Just wanted to chime in and say that I've now been using this mod on the September update since yesterday and it's been fantastic. Using Pie Controls for navigation has been flawless as well. Loving the peace of mind, not having to worry about nav bar burn-in. I'm glad to see you got a version working without TWRP. I'm gonna stick with the Sep. version until TWRP is ready on the Nov update before moving forward. But that's only because I'm lazy. :)

One thing I should point out is that in some apps, there is a very thin line at the very bottom of the screen that seems to consistently be either bright blue or bright red, depending on the app. For instance, Netflix has a red line at the very bottom of the screen. However, a soon as you start a video and force it to play in full screen it goes away.

I can't remember the app that has the blue line at the bottom but I'll try and find it again.

EDIT: just opened Netflix to try and get a screenshot of the red line and now I can't get it to show up. So maybe I'm crazy or it's no longer an issue. If I see this pop up again in any apps I'll get a quick screenshot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
How about trying this one. I managed to get 0.0 dip navbar on my Nexus.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pro_b:
Hey, I was wondering if you have a way or method of achieving a custom navbar height? I don't want the bar completely removed but if I could get the height to about 30, that would be perfect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
I think I realized what the issue was. I still had Nav Bar Apps installed and it was changing the colors of the nav bar based on the app. So where there should have been a tiny black bar, there was a tiny red/blue/orange/green bar depending on the app. I've since uninstalled Nav Bar Apps and I think that's why the issue seems to be gone.

But, while I finally have my phone setup perfectly, I'd be willing to give this new one a shot to test for you. Do I just flash it simply the same way I did the original? (i.e. boot into TWRP and sideload the zip right over the current one?) Or do I need to revert back to stock first?

Let me know and I'll give it a shot for you. Just going to cross my fingers that I don't mess it up and end up having to start from scratch with a fresh factory image install.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
On 8.0 but not 8.1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pro_b:
Thanks. I'm on 8.0 Nov Update. Can you make one or maybe point me in the direction of doing it? Feel free to PM me also. I appreciate your work and assistance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Nov update doesn't have TWRP so you would have to use the method I described on the op for installing without TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Just bumping this, in case you missed it. I have a few minutes to test right now if you can confirm that I can just flash this new one right over the original one in TWRP...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pro_b:
Thanks for the response. I understand I'll have to use the adb method. I'm fine with that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Yes, you can.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Just flashed. Looking good. testing apps now with no issues to report so far.

If you can throw together this same one with a center clock, that would be awesome!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Here you go!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
See if this works
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Worked like a charm. Looks great! It's amazing to me that Android still doesn't come with a center clock standard. It looks so much better.

Also, I've gotta say that I'm amazed and very thankful for how fast you work on this stuff. I really appreciate your efforts in all this. You've made my phone EXACTLY how I'd like it to be.

:highfive:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pro_b:
Thanks. It look like that worked. Can you tell me which .xml file you edited in case I'd like to go lower than 30?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] skinza:
Is this able to be achieved

Have the navbar icons but no background (like in the pic) same as when you are in the app drawer,but every where else
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Framework-res.apk, values folder, dimens.xml.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I have not been able to achieve this though I have been trying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
I noticed your skills on the original Pixel with 3minit battery. Will you be doing the same for the new one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
As soon as it can be deodexed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Looks like the new TWRP beta was just released, allowing TWRP to be fully installed. Curious to see if those on the November patch are able to get TWRP installed and flash this Navbar Gone Nov version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] eqbirvin:
Man no matter what i do i cannot get the adb/nov method install to work

I get not errors on the cmd return. It just reboots and the navbar is still there
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Do you have busybox installed?

Take system folder out of the vrtheme folder of the nov update zip. Put the whole system folder on your sdcard. Inside that folder there should be a framework and priv-app folder

On the root drive data folder of your phone add tmp folder. Copy the entire vrthemeADBversion folder into the tmp folder and rename it vrtheme. /data/tmp/vrtheme. Inside that folder should be four files.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Wait! TWRP was updated a couple of hours ago and people in that thread are reporting that booting into the new TWRP beta works on the Nov update and the 8.1DP. So just use that method. It's simple.

So go get Magisk 14.4 installed so you can patch your boot image then boot into the new TWRP and flash the Nov Navbar zip file.

But do NOT try to installed the TWRP zip file after booting into TWRP because people are reporting issues after trying to install TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] eqbirvin:
Yup all installed! I saw the same thing haha thank you!

All good man thank you so much!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Nice! Now I just gotta figure out how to update from the Sep patch to the Nov patch with a patched boot img and this mod installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] slaydog:
As far as the patched boot image, can't we just flash Magisk with TWRP now to get root..?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
That's what I'm thinking. But I'm still trying to figure out how the update process will work. For instance, I'm on the Sep patch of 8.0 and when I tried to install the Navbar Gone mod through TWRP with the stock boot.img in place, the phone went into a bootloop with a message saying my phone was corrupt. This resulted in having to performed a full factory image install and then install Magisk after initial setup and use that to apply the patched boot.img. Once I did this, I was able to flash the Navbar Gone mod in TWRP and the phone booted up because the patched boot.img didn't flag the system as corrupt. So the problem was solved and I learned that you have to have the patched boot.img in place in order to boot after applying the Navbar Gone mod in TWRP. (which I admittedly should have known from the get-go)

So, I'm afraid that if I try to sideload the Nov OTA from Google, I'm going to end up in a bootloop again because it's going to replace the patched boot.img with the stock boot.img. Because of this, I'm trying to figure out what steps should be taken to be able to sideload the Nov OTA from Google and immediately flash the Nov Navbar Gone mod while keeping a modified boot.img in place, in order to avoid the bootloop. This is especially difficult because I can't get the patched boot.img for the Nov update until I boot up the phone and run Magisk to patch it. And without that patched boot.img the phone will end up on a bootloop prior to that.

Does that makes sense? Or am I overthinking all this somehow?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Can you take the boot.img out of the OTA? Flash it manually?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Not sure. Downloading the Nov OTA right now and gonna see if I can pull the boot.img out and replace it. But then I'd just be replacing it with the patched Sep boot.img so I don't know what issues that would end up causing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
.

Don't flash one at all. Just skip it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Skip the boot.img? As in just remove it? As long as that doesn't cause issues that would be the best solution.

At this point I'm considering skipping the Nov patch altogether. The only real benefit I see from that update is Google's implementation of a fading nav bar and nav bar buttons to prevent burn-in. But with this mod that change is moot. I may just hold off until official 8.1 is officially released since everything's working perfectly anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bryantjopplin:
zip is invalid when trying to flash.
