So most everyone is using the mods you made for the December patch on the January update? What's the dynamic nav bar? Does that mean it changes colors to be opposite colors as the background? That's a problem I have with the custom nav bar app and it's immersive mode. I think I'm using the long lost zip. Will it work on January?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
Yes dynamic navbar means that it changes colors based on the app. In most apps, it uses the same color as the status bar, not necessarily the opposite color of the background.

When you say long-lost zip, are you talking about my launcher mod? That mod will work on the January update. The launcher version in the January update actually didn't change. It's the same version number. But that's a whole different thread.

I was just responding to these mods because somebody had asked if they worked on the January update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Savoury:
I just bit the apple, flashing the dyn. Navbar somehow result in an bootloop for me. Flashed the backup zip it created and it's working again. Dunno what's wrong, but for some reason the Navbar is smaller now too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Do you have any idea how the dynamic navbar colors will work with the custom navigation bar app? As I stated in my previous post, in this app the navbar goes off the screen and I swipe up to pull it up. This is similar to have a navbar is on the Samsung Galaxy series. I don't have to worry about uninstalling these modifications before flashing all the new Factory stuff do I? Is it correct that when I flash The Flash all batch file in the new factory image zip folder for January that these modifications will be overwritten and I will have to reflash them after the installation of the new January update is complete? Can I flash multiple zip files of your mods? I don't think the long-lost mod has the dynamic navigation bar in it, but I would like it too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
The dynamic navbar choices look like: 40dip Dynamic, 36 dip Dynamic, and so forth. The number in front of the word "Dyanmic" refers to the size of the navbar. I believe that 48dip (density-independent pixels) is the default size. You must have accidentally flashed a dynamic version that had a lower number, meaning it's smaller.

* I believe that dynamic navbar mod will still work when using Custom Navigation Bar to hide the navbar. Whenever the navbar comes up, it should be colored.

* You are correct. You don't have to uninstall any of these mods before you flash the January zip because the mods from "this" thread and my launcher mods will both get overwritten by the new system.img. You will just have to re-flash the mods afterwards. Custom Navigation Bar will not get overwritten assuming you remove the "-w" tag from the flash-all.bat first so that your data doesn't get wiped.

* I still think you are confused. "These" mods, meaning the mods from this thread are not my mods. My launcher mod thread is totally separate from these mods and has nothing to do with the navbar. The navbar has absolutely nothing to do with the launcher. They are two totally separate files.

* You can flash my Long Lost launcher and these mods in one TWRP session. Again, one has nothing to do with the other. My launcher mods will not overwrite these mods in anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
My bad. I am subscribed to this thread and your launcher mod thread. Since they're similar threads I consistently mix them up. I apologize.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
And just to be clear, these mods AND the sharkie mods will work on the January update?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
Yep! I'm running them both on the January update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Ok, so I press the big green "download" button shown in the screen shot. It's a zip file. Do I extract it on my phone to reveal a bunch of zips within it? - each one containing one of the mods discussed in this thread? Then I would flash each mod as I choose? I just need to know what to download. Then I'll try out the dynamic navbar.

So is this center clock for the homescreen or AOD?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Oops forgot to add the pic. Sorry for the double post. I cant attach a pic in an edited post on my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
No its an aroma zip, you'll flash it in TWRP recovery and it'll give you the options for the mods you wanna flash
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Did you flash the base before you flashed the dynamic Navbar?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Savoury:
Of course. I'm not exactly sure what could've caused this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Me either. I got 8.1 deodexed and I'm working on a new aroma anyway. Hopefully that will work for you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
So how do I remove this stuff? It doesn't work right with my swipe navigation when I go into the app to make adjustments I can't get out of it because the nav bar is unresponsive. I flashed the center clock too, but it's not on my home screen.

Do the colored nav bar options color the actual BAR or the buttons? Are there any button themes in these downloads like to make the buttons hollow? That would be highly beneficial on the pixel 2 xl where burn in is a concern
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Do I need to flash the ozop folder that is somewhere in my phone? I see that mentioned a couple times in the thread. For whatever reason after reboot I always have to make one of the swipe navigation settings change by just one little bit so I can swipe up and not trigger a button on the nav bar. It was like this prior to these modifications. Now when I go in to swipe gestures to make the changes to navbar becomes unresponsive and I cannot get out of the app. I have to reboot and then I still cannot make swipe navigation adjustments. That is why I want to remove these modifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
In the first post, it says there's a stock restore option. Have you tried that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Haven't tried that yet. I really don't know why when I Flash these mods all sorts of wakelocks appear, my launcher starts using a bunch of battery, and my battery life goes to hell. It seems like it stabilizes after a couple days. Does anyone else see this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
#Tulsadiver, can you look into why my nav bar becomes unresponsive when I enter the swipe navigation app? FYI I am using the custom navigation app's immersive mode (status bar and nav bar go out of view when not in use).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'm afraid I don't know anything about your swipe navigation app. I suggest removing the Navbar, use LMT or similar, and using immersive for status bar only.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamjimmy:
Hello - I wanted to know how to get back to stock system after applying these mods - so that one can upgrade to the next month's release.

So let's say I want to upgrade to next month's security patch. Will I have to restore to stock before dirty flashing (without -w in update.zip) the factory images?

If so, how can this be done? Do these mods change the system.img?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You can flash restore stock systemui to get to stock. Just take the -w off and flash. These are simple systemuigoogle.apk and framework-res.apk mods.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamjimmy:
Thanks for the reply.

Forgive my ignorance, but when I unzip Google's factory image, I do not see systemui file.

I do see a system.img. Could i flash this on both slots to restore to stock? So that i can upgrade to the next release of Android.

If this is not true, could you please provide details on where to get the systemui to flash to get to stock? Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] p70shooter:
I'm guessing it's in the aroma of the mod, so flash the mod
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] aj.pai.r:
Hey [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION]

The size of the navigation button on fresh install of default Oreo 8.1 (January Update) is smaller as opposed to the one that shows up after flashing the Aroma Mods. The one in your mod looks quite big when compared to the default. Could you please make one with the default/smaller size of the navbar icons? :fingers-crossed:

I have tried different dynamic navbar sizes in your mod. from 48 dip to 40 dip. The icons seem to be big in all.

Other than that, awesome job man! You have my respect! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
They look fine on mine. Did you flash a base first? My corners are rounded due to flashing the xl mod on a regular pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] aj.pai.r:
Thanks for the quick reply... :highfive:

Yes, as instructed. Flashed the last base which gives 4 Tiles in Quicksettings. Then Navbar Swap. I have been looking at this closely as I have been using this awesome mod of you since it came for the first time. In the latest one have you changed something? Because the last I flashed was yesterday & the zip I used was the one you updated on 31st of December!

:confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I have changed a lot. Download and flash the most current. There are now several Navbar swaps to choose from because you have to flash the one that matches your Navbar height.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] aj.pai.r:
I have updated the reply above with screenshots. I only brought it up after like 10 flashes & trying it. I have tried the default navbar height as well. However, the icons look slightly bigger in any case. The one i prefer is 40 dip. The modded screen is with 40 dip. If you move around them you will see the difference...

Thank you for your time. You are awesome!

:laugh:

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Will update you what happens with the latest zip you have hosted. Flashing it as I post this....

:fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
That is why you need to download the one dated 1-9 instead of using the old one dated 12-31
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] aj.pai.r:
You're ****in amazing man! I take a bow... I just reported this & **** its already solved. That was freakin magical.

Keep killing it.... :highfive:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tardis_42:
If you're having issues with extra things showing up on AOD when you use mods affecting the status bar, I worked out a solution with Tasker. It's not pretty, but it works. Check out this thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] c0de_junkie:
I seem to be having a couple issues with the latest version. I first installed the base mod, then 5 col QS, and then I successfully installed the center clock with small am and pm and then I tried to install the blue batt mod and for some reason it installs the gauge battery mod instead. so I went back to stock and tried again this time only installing the blue batt mod (after installing the base) and again it installed the gauge batt mod instead of the blue batt mod. My other issue is that for some reason my quick settings have disappeared, they are still there because I can press the area where they should be and it will perform whatever the button is, but I just can't see them, if I pull down the notification screen to show all the quick settings then they are all there and I can see them, its just the area that's in the screenshot where they cant be seen. flashing the stock option does not fix this, I also tried flashing the stock imgs from the January security patch(OPM1.171019.013) and they were still not showing up... here is a screenshot to see what I mean any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I see the problem with the battery. It is going to the wrong folder. Here is how it works. Gauge battery goes on with the base that is flashed. It is dormant until a one percent battery is flashed. It is supposed to be replaced with the battery of your choice when flashed. Since your choice went to the wrong folder, the gauge battery showed instead.

I cannot duplicate your problem with your QS tiles-text. Do you have any other mods on your phone?

Here is a new one with battery fixed.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] c0de_junkie:
Thanks for the fast response and the fix!!! the only other mod that I have installed is is for NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk and the mods are the ones from this D.I.Y. thread and I'm pretty sure your mod doesn't conflict with anything from your mod and it shouldn't effect the Quick setting icons... I've been totally stumped by it for hours... Does you mod do anything to NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk?

I was playing around with some mods in Substratum but I have uninstalled them and deleted the data like the substratum folder says to remove any changes if there were any problems , so I'm starting to think it has something to do with that but since I did and a flash_all.bat (-w removed) of the factory imgs from the google's website, then you would think that everything would go back to stock lol, at least that was my understanding...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
My mods only affect only the SystemUIgoogle.apk and framework-res.apk.

I have had to do a factory reset before through twrp. You don't lose data but have to set things up as new.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] c0de_junkie:
That's what I thought, I searched the your zip file top to bottom and couldn't find anything that would affect it so I was pretty sure I was good there.. Ya a reset in TWRP is most likely my best bet at this point... Thanks again for the quick fix and the help...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] QAM:
Hola [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION] a quick question, are your mods compatible with custom ROMs like Carbon or LOS?

Thanks again for the great work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Currently, no. I'm getting ready to implement a base that first flashes a stock systemui and framework before it flashes my base. It should prevent a boot loop but could remove and/or change a custom roms looks and functionality.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
Just curious as to the reasoning behind this change? Is it just to prevent the boot Loops or is there more?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
It can help clean up old code that might linger from prior bad flashes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JayGoat:
Might be already answered but I couldn't find it in this thread. Does this trip Safety Net?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Badger50:
Can't see why it would.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
Is it possible to have the internet speed on the right like on custom roms or have it autohide when there is no traffic?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
To the right of the clock?

Auto hide at what threshold (bytes)? There is scanning going on so sometimes there appears to be traffic even when there isn't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
yes to the right and yes a threshold, maybe like 10kb.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I might be able to but wouldn't it be annoying to have your status bar icons moving constantly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
On the left it covers notifications
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Designator:
Sorry for the dumb question but what else besides TWRP do I need ? Do I need Bootloader unlock and root ?

I just want a smaller nav bar and would like to keep the hassle to a minimum.

Thanks an advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Badger50:
You'll definitely need to unlock the bootloader (both commands) in order to fastboot twrp so you can flash the mod, and you'll need root as well. Unlocking the bootloader WILL wipe your phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Designator:
mhh... thought so but thanks for your confirmation !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I just uploaded a new Aroma that has options for traffic on the right side of the statusbar. I couldn't get the threshold to work so it does stay on even with no signal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
do i have to restore before flashing or can i just flash the mod over the current?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Flash over is fine as long as you flash base first.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] elreydenj:
Is this a complete rebase? I had mentioned previously that it changes the subtle grey color of some of the icons in the pull down shade like the cloud in the weather notification to a dark black on the other thread's mod you had worked on. Curious if this does the same. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't know. Try it and see. Flash the base only. Reboot. Then go to ozop folder on sdcard and copy ozop.zip to another location on sdcard. That zip will restore you what you were before flashing the base. Now go back into Aroma and flash whatever you like. No matter what you flash you can now get back to where you were originally.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
I use the XDA one handed mode app on my pixel 2 XL. It crashes all the time. Anyway, it crashed hard before. It moved icons towards the top and bottom of the screen.

Their sizes also changed. The notifications drawer icons changed there are now 6 across the top and I think I originally installed mods for 5 or 6. Again, the icons are smaller and so is my text. I have it maxed out in the stock settings app and they're not big enough. Something definitely changed big time. I am wondering if something got messed up with these mods during the crash because idk why the OHM would have anything to do with these changes.

I'm also getting confused on whether it was these mods in the aroma installer or sharkies mods. I have some of both.

Can you please give me direction on what I should do? Should I remove all mods and Reflash? What a PITA. I should probably uninstall the OHM. It's unstable. I send bug reports all the time and have not seen any updates in 3 months of use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Schroeder09:
Sorry to double post but the XDA app doesn't allow adding pics when editing a post. Here's what my screen, icons and text look like now. Before the crash the bottom row of apps was larger than the upper group of apps. Now they're all the same size and are very small. Notice how the date text at the top of the screen is tiny too. Again, my text while texting or even typing this message is small and I have the font size maxed out in the settings. It was much larger before. I do not have a before shot of my homescreen.

Do I just need to flash a different file in the aroma installer? Or am I in the wrong place and this is something with the sharky mods?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You aren't giving much information like what you even flashed in the first place but this Aroma is for stock. I would flash your flash-all.bat and start fresh. I uploaded a new aroma today so afterwards, download the latest copy.

These are SystemUIGoogle.apk and framework-res.apk mods. This is all that changes. These are not overlays. Mixing other mods that affect these files will cause conflicts. Even overlays.

The magisk version works fine.

Are you stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
Which magisk version?

yes stock...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The Aroma Magisk Module Maker. Same mods as this but there are a couple last steps. One, you create the module by selecting the very first selection in the Aroma (after you have flashed what you want), then, when out of the Aroma and back in TWRP you find the magisk.zip in the Magisk folder on your sdcard and flash that. For people running Magisk manager.

Edit. That aroma is certainly doing something. It borked my Pixel good, lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
so the second link is that one? should i prepare to be borked.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
No, Magisk Module Maker has its own thread. My phone got borked because it isn't a Pixel 2 xl. Just a Pixel.

Expecting to received the Note 8 (SM-N950FD) in the next days...

Believe the Phone's Origin country gonna be another country other than Australia (It was listed "Direct Import" by a Australian Retailer) Link FYI

So I'm planning to download the Australian Stock Firmware ready

Just before taking action, would like to ask a few questions:

Q1) To make Samsung Pay works (in Australia), I only need to following this -->POST<-- instead of replacing PDA/SCS? Right

Q1.5) if above is right, is there any need/benefit to replace the firmware to XSA (Australia)?

-->This firmware<--

Q2) Does it work flashing combination of different PDA & CSC under different Country Section of Sammobile.com?

For example using PDA: N950FXXU2BQKG (12/12, it's not listed under XSA) (LINK)with N950FOLN1AQHF (Australian CSC)(LINK) ???

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] gr8hairy1:
I was on 5.1, bootloader unlocked by sunshine. I rooted to enable tethering, and after did a full unroot. Once the OTA MM update came it couldn't install. Android on back and then rebooted. Instead of trying to fix the software, I decided to get MM from XDA. I flashed TWRP, updated bootloader from computerfreek's thread and flashed his rom for non-verizon.

Now once it turns on I can choose language. At the next page it says select wi-fi netowork, but no wifi networks show up and the Skip button is grayed out.

I followed the directions again and reflashed a few times, but the same result.

I then tried the Brazilian MM from iiwoodstock but with the same result. I flashed his with and without the linked kernal, but again, with the same results.

Any ideas? I was hoping to avoid flashing the stock images, but if that's my only option....
