The flashes you pointed out worked, magisk is installed but I don't think I have root. Although root explorer pro allows me to go to any file folder I want, however when I try to use uninstaller pro to uninstall hangouts I get a "uninstall aborted no root status granted". When I open the Uninstaller app I am never approached with a "root access permissions required" challenge....using a root checker app doesn't work because of the way it looks for root status, superuser files in certain places....i don't understand it but I know it's the way it works... So do I have root or not? Thx
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
First just try rebooting. If that doesn't work install the latest magisk manager. Don't open it, just install it and reboot.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] h0mer_:
kerry, good to hear that you've made good inroads into getting your phone back up and going.

Tulsadiver - I've been flashing the "Magisk version uploaded 10-6-18" from your OP quite a few times, and when I end up getting the colour schemes how I want them - which is as they are stock - everytime the clock on the RHS on the 'Google News/Feeds' page (the one you end up on when you flip all the way to the left from the home screen) - the digits for the clock don't invert from white to black like the rest of the header bar that is now all white background on this screen - unlike the dark blue background and white text of the rest of the phone screens.

When I pull the notifications bar / QS window down then the top bar changes to black with white text, and the clock reverts to the LHS of screen, and the am/pm bit disappears.

Going into the actual settings screen and the top bar is now a white background with black text, except for the clock - that remains a slightly brighter shade of white, and so much less visible than the rest of the black text along the top. Likewise is in some other apps that also use a white background on the top bar - Firefox for instance. And probably the Google Feed screen that I mentioned above as well.

Any thoughts on getting the clock text colour to remain the same colour as the rest of the top header line, regardless of that line's background colour?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Yes, don't flash a text clock. Any special clock format is a text clock. Text clocks do not change color due to the background.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] kerryh420:
Thanks for following up and saying something, much oblige.

Now, as luck would have it, and I didn't notice this right away but After the flash to Pie I no longer have the stock android messaging app. So I'm stuck without the ability to text anyone. this is obviously a huge deal. I have posted a question under the Q/A section but no one has responded to tell me the name and developer of the stock messaging android app. I can't seem to locate it in the play store and all of the aftermarket msg apps are either not what I am looking for or don't message - What I mean is when I try to select someone to text I get an error in the app saying "can't start conversation with this person, try again later". WTH is that? I don't want to IM the person I want to send an SMS/MMS text. The one that uses your txt msg allotment, not the ones that tun through wi-fi.

Does anyone happen to know what might have happened. When I flash-all the factory image from google it is missing after the flash. When I use Tulsadiver's flash-all the same result. I can't tell what's wrong because I can make phone calls but not text's and I can't use the data network either. Google app reports "can't reach your feed at the moment"

Hope this describes what's wrong in good enough detail. Does anyone have any idea's what happened or how to fix it? Am I going to have to revert back to Oreo, much to my own chagrin? Thanks everyone
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
I believe it's this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] kerryh420:
not messenger by google

I thought it was that at first also, thanks for trying. The UI isn't the same and when I go to create a message it tries to open up a conversation session but can't and tells me to try again later. Not sure why it does that but it's not what I want to do anyway.

I just want SMS/MSM. The icons that appears in the play store as "SMS from Android 4.4 W/ caller ID" and also "SMS Messaging (AOSP)" by Sylvain Garland is exactly the way stock android sms looks. I just DL the latter app I mentioned and when I try to open for the first time it FC instantly. So fast I can't even get a look at what the pop-up says or is an image of. Keeps doing it. What in the ....?

Maybe I need to flash a GAPPS package? Im on Oct PPR2 pie. Maybe I need to jump back a version, IDK?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
It is the stock app for SMS/MMS. If it's not letting you create messages, then something else is wrong.

Try manually installing the OTA update.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
If you want to get back to stock without losing data flash October update, "boot" into TWRP, do a TWRP factory reset. You'll have all the stock apps, and only stock apps. After setting your phone back up, boot into bootloader, "boot" TWRP, flash TWRP zip, flash magisk 17.1, reboot.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] h0mer_:
If you are still having headaches, try the Textra app in the store. It's very, very good. And has a paid version for a couple $$s to get rid of the nag/adverts. Not a lot of money well spent, if you like the free version.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
I'm not sure what the differences are between the three downloads in the OP?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The first one is an aroma Installer for those rooted with Magisk but not installing modules. The second one is for those installing modules. The third one is for anyone that wants to change the look of the native Pixel launcher.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
Why would you not want to install it as a module? What difference does that make, practically?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You don't install it as a module. Neither does it install modules. What it does do is modify the magisk.img instead of system files for those that are systemless and installing modules.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
I don't follow.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Sorry, that is the best I can do.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
What does "systemless" mean? How does altering magisk.img differ from altering system files?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
This is my perception as to what happens with Magisk. It creates a copy of your system in the magisk.img. Once you go down that road, your phone's system is running off the Magisk.img instead of the actual system files. You can try and modify your system but nothing happens because it is now using the magisk.img. To change your system you now must modify the magisk.img. This is one way it cloaks root. I'm not exactly clear at what point this happens. When you flash your first module? If you enable Magisk hide?

You should try the regular one first. If nothing changes, try the Magisk version.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
Will that risk tripping safety net though?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
SafetyNet is not an efuse like Knox. If it trips, you can fix it. Don't worry. You can always reflash and start over.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
I mean, I'd rather not have to if I can avoid it though.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
I take it you don't have the phone, yet.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
I've had it for a week...
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
What have you done with it so far, and what would you like to get done?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
When he says start over, he doesn't mean you lose data or have to set your phone up again. Just flash the images and reroot afterwards. Your phone will be just like it was before you flashed them.

I have a bat file I run when I screw up my phone and when it's done I'm rooted as well but all you have to do is flashed the patched boot img afterwards.

These mods should not trip safetynet.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
Rooted with Magisk, restored all my apps and data from backup, installed AdAway, and set up Light Manager (although the Pixel's LED is terrible compared to Samsung's). I think that's it.

I'm currently passing safety net, according to Magisk Manager. I obviously want to install this, other than that...IDK. Biggest issues thus far are no quick way to disable silent mode (why the power+volume up shortcut isn't a toggle is beyond me), clock on the left of the status bar, YouTube ads, no ability to press and hold shutter to record video, no app shortcuts on the lock screen, and inability to hide contacts without a phone number. Some I guess are more fixable than others.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
It sounds like what you want is a custom ROM.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamnotexisting:
Can you link to your Android N one? I can't seem to find it.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
I asked for recommendations and was told to stick with stock, so.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Which update? Is that 8.1 or 8.0?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
These mods shouldn't trip safetynet. Not either one. That being said, was there a November update for the Pixel? If so, this mod will need to be updated.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamnotexisting:
I'm on Android 7.1
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I show a 7.1.1 and a 7.1.2. Which one?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] iamnotexisting:
7.1.2
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I had several. Look in this folder.

[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] mac796:
Has anyone tried this on the November update being it had to be updated for the pixel 2 I imagine it won't work.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I didn't know Pixel had an update. I wouldn't try it. There were changes for the other Pixels. I'll work on an update.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
FWIW, I already had this mod installed when I installed the November OTA, and the Tulsadiver modifications magically reappeared after reinstalling Magisk (I did not rerun the mod, and I did not install the modified magisk.zip).
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
The update you released compatible with the December patch for Pixel XL (marlin) won't work with Pixel (sailfish), right?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Probably not but Pixel should be done in a couple more hours.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] kkjb:
Yes, tried with Dec pq1a image a few times. A no go. Thank You Tulsadiver for your work on this Mod. I use for the basis of ANY other rom is better that stock...
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Here's December. Untested as I'm very busy!

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603868771
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] kkjb:
On first test, if only first base install...for me systemuibase signal ok. When I add anything else in options on next install boot log errors crazy. Not done yet with anything. Just a heads-up. At least Dec image and twrp 3.2.3-1 have not had a restore error #255 fail. So painless. Will try to track down more failure info.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
Thanks so much for your time on this! Everything seems to be working fine for me.

I flashed the December OTA and verified I was able to boot fine. I installed Magisk, and got into a bootloop, as others have reported. Uninstalled and reinstalled Magisk, and was rooted, without your modifications magically reappearing as had happened previously (I expected this). Back in recovery, I ran your latest version [MagiskAromaInstallerPixeldone12-7-18.zip] and used the following options:

Magisk version

SystemUIbase stock like

Framebase Stock

RCsmallampm

Traffic Center

Installs Invisible Power Btn Statusbar

Smaller LTE Data Icon

I did not get any errors, and the modified magisk.zip flashed just fine.

I've only noticed 2 very minor errors, both of which only show up on the lock screen:

The clock (on the right, in my case) is not visible in the status bar area. It is either missing, or it's the same color as the background.

The carrier name on the left is slightly misaligned downward, as compared with the rest of the status bar (roughly half the height of the font).
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
Update: It was the base. I reran the mod, and instead used the SystemUIbase (not the stock like one), and everything is fine. I'm currently running the December update with the latest Magisk, and (of course) the Tulsadiver mod :D

:good:
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] 8076600977:
BHAI
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
So I tried installing this, and nothing seems to have changed?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
If you flashed the Magisk version, it doesn't make any changes to your system. What it does do is create a custom modified Magisk installer in /magisk/magisk.zip. You have to then flash that in TWRP to make the changes happen.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
Ah, okay.

How do I change the settings if I want to? When I flashed the magisk.zip file it set it up with the settings I'd originally selected, but somehow I've ended up with black text on a black background which is obviously not ideal. Do I have to reflash the original file and then reflash magisk.zip again?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
Reflash the Tulsadiver mod in TWRP and choose the options you want. It will recreate a new magisk.zip file, overwriting the one you flashed. Then flash the magisk.zip in TWRP.

Keep in mind that the base you flash makes a difference. Keeping all the other settings the same, using a different base can give you different outcomes.

You may have to go through all this many times until you get it just the way you want it.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] koberulz:
Cheers. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain as you figure out what exactly is affected by each thing. Got there in the end though.

I just wish it was possible to have black notifications with white text. Unfortunately too many notifications also contain dark grey, as well as the default color.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jam0688:
Sorry for the noob question i just got my pixel yesterday so and it's my first time owning a pixel device i had a nexus 6p but it's different. Is this mod for stock rom or for like aosp rom that doesn't have custom mods because I am on stock pie dec update unlocked bootloader with magisk installed and I would like the network speed and 3minit mod.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
Stock. I'm not sure if it would even work on a custom ROM.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jam0688:
Ok thank you.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Revolver95:
Is it possible to add media playback control using the volume keys when the screen is off?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Not by me. You might look at Magisk modules to see if there is anything.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] thewraith420:
Cool mod. Would using this cause Google pay to quit working? I'm interested in the customization options provided but I do like Google pay working
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
I use this mod, and Google Pay works fine.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] thewraith420:
Does it work on the January update?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
I didn't actually rerun the mod, but after installing the January update and installing Magisk, my previous changes magically reappeared.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bramton1:
So I had the mod installed, but wanted to change the statusbar icon colors. I saw there was an update, so I downloaded that one and used it. Now I'm in a bootloop, even if I revert to stock. Might this be because I am still using the September or October (not sure which) security update? Would installing the latest security update fix the problem?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
My guess is yes. If you do know for sure which update you're currently on, you could use fastboot to reflash the boot.img from the full ROM image, but it's probably faster to download & install the entire January update.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Most of my updates are due to firmware updates unless noted otherwise. So updating to December update should fix it. January update is out but I haven't gotten to the Pixel yet.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bramton1:
I flashed the January update and after rerooting, your mod installed fine.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
I just installed the February OTA udpate, and -- once again -- your mod's changes magically reappeared after reinstalling Magisk.

:cool:
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] kkjb:
Excellent, I was hoping before...now wipe and updating Feb. Thanks.

Tulsadiver.........nice to see you at Moto X4 your efforts there would allow me to return to factory.....Thanks for helping :)
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I uploaded new aromas, February update. There were changes made to systemui but I don't know what. I added settings accent colors (volume slider, etc) and battery texts under custom battery where the text turns green when charging with three different fonts and font thickness though the difference is small.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Happy to help!
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jam0688:
Great job guys!!! I've got this installed on the February update using the magisk version and all is working great!! Quick question tho say i want to go back to stock for any reason do i just uninstall the magisk module or do i have to go back through aroma and go back to stock like that?
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] post-mortem:
You'll have to flash the boot.img from the stock ROM -- and maybe even dirty flash the full factory image -- to get rid of all changes.
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] jam0688:
Oh ok thanks ?

Sysye aosp 9.0 lenovo k5 plus A6020

thanks
[Google Pixel Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Here is April update. I'm no longer doing aroma's but have put together what I call my zip method. It works similar.

Zip Method to be Flashed in TWRP.

Take this zip and unzip it into a folder of your choice on your internal sdcard. There are folders with descriptions of what is inside. Each mod is flashed individually and the same rules apply such as bases for SystemUI and framework must be flashed first , etc. There is a "Complete installation" zip to flash after bases and mods are selected. Nothing is installed until you flash it. There is an option for regular installation or magisk module type installation. The magisk version isn't actually a module but shows up as one in magisk manager after flashing.

Is there a way to have 2G and switch to LTE automatically when mobile data is on and when turning off mobile data switch to 2G. On LTE my pixel drains battery too much with signal strength almost 100%. I use Beta 6. On Beta 5 it did not do this, i factory reseted it 2 times and checked without installing any app. My nexus 5 does not drain battery on LTE that much.

Android 10...clean factory image + magisk canary + twrp with Q6.zip can by using only base like, signal activity colors up.down, left clock. Works great. No ozop file created tho. When I add any framework, it's a no-go boot reverts to recovery. Sorry to give the news..
