[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TacWeeb:
Ok, so i got this free Samsung J2 Pro (SM-250F) from a company where i worked at. It has Knox Mobile Enrollment or something installed in it. I wanted to install .apk file but i can't give the phone permission to install application from unknown sources (the setting is grayed out).

I've tried flashing my phone with stock ROM but it's still didn't worked (the flashing worked but the Knox still there).

So do i have other way to force install the application?

Or the alternative. Is there a store apps inside Play Store that i can install?

Thank you.

Okay everyone, I'm having a bit of a major problem here with my tablet. As everyone who saw my previous thread knows my battery seems to be draining really fast. Well I was just checking in GSAM, and it lists Kernel(Android OS) and Android System as draining almost 60 percent of my battery. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? What's going on? I've been looking around and can't find anything. Please help. Oh and don't say to factory reset, I've done that like 4 times and it's never helped.

Anybody messed with installing xposed framework and or any modules on the official Pie setup?

I'm not sure I want to go back to not having Gravitybox on my phone again.

Been looking around and I didn't see anyone mention xposed and Pie yet so I thought i'd start here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mitchdickson:
Lol no.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Azure Dragon:
Just going to bump this thread right here. I want Pie but I need Xposed :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Then I guess your going to "want" to "need" to wait until the Devs make it available ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chance Ill:
I agree. The very reason I haven't upgraded to 9.0. Beyond having the latest and greatest, I can't justify losing the awesomeness of Xposed. So we wait. ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GTDarthYoda:
I could. Gives me a chance to play Pokemon GO lol

Also have decided the only module I miss is the ad blocker i had.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pvtjoker42:
I made the jump to pie last night, the things i miss most so far from gravitybox/xposed, is the ability to break out volume adjustments for ringtone and notification tones, circle battery (i know there's other ways of getting this back), notification light settings along with individual app notification settings and i'm sure i'll find more as the day goes on and I use my phone more fully. But if i can learn to deal with those few things, I think i might like Pie. :cool:

Any movement on the xposed framework for Pie? (SDK28)

Desperately waiting....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Face_Plant:
Xposed for Nougat took a year to be released. Pie has only been out for 3 weeks. Xposed for Oreo still hasn't left beta and hasn't been updated since January. Rovo doesn't seem very active anymore, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

I'm hoping topjohnwu can deliver a systemless Xposed option.... Soon....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I don't think it works that way. In order for a Magisk version to be available, the creator of Xposed (rovo) needs to have a "standard" version available for Pie first.

I could be wrong but I believe that is how the order of things have to be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BrikHaus:
Oh damn!

I shouldn't have upgraded to pie. :(

Yeah, the systemless xposed for magisk was based off the beta version of xposed, so yeah we won't see xposed through magisk till there's at least a working alpha of xposed for pie.. sux, but guess i've been surviving. really the only thing that's getting to me is the notification/call ringtone volume adjustment. so far i've found ways to get everything else i depended on from gravitybox/xposed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] giltwist:
Gravitybox is the main thing keeping me on Oreo. I use it to turn down the minimum brightness on the phone as low as it can go. XPrivacy is nice, but AFWall+ only needs magisk and does most of the job anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Shanks:
I guess many of us are not upgrading to pie cuz xposed is not available, i really wanna upgrade to pie but i can't live without "xposed edge"(wish it was available as a magisk module), i like gravity box too but i could live without it for a little while till xposed was available

I love the awesomeness of xposed but I'm not willing to stay on a previous OS for a year waiting for the Devs to get it up and running for Pie. Been on Pie for a few weeks and have no regrets, even though I do miss GravityBox and xInsta.

No man that's old news

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Javi22:
Guys you really think it's worth to downgrade only for Xposed? You could be waiting months with no security updates...

I ask because I bought the phone two days ago, already with 9.0. it's working great, however I miss some customization (like customizing navbar, torch button, gestures...whatever). But I don't know if I should downgrade actually. I would need to ser up everything again, plus It could be many months of waiting for xposed in 9.0. Maybe magisk could do the thing until xposed comes...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prey521:
I had a lot of xposed customizations and I moved over to Pie and have no regrets. Miss some of them, but man, the battery life on Pie is so much better than it more than makes up for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Javi22:
Hmmm.... Really? Yes this is a very good point then for 9.0

Enviado desde mi Pixel 2 XL mediante Tapatalk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I didn't downgrade, just never upgraded to 9.

I'm holding on to 8.1 for GravityBox and the Snapintercept module for Snapchat.

Security updates aren't insanely crucial to me, especially because I'll be getting the Pixel 3 XL which will have Pie preinstalled - and that's not too far off.

For now, I'm happy being on CarbonROM + Xposed + Flash Kernel :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] x111:
why Google cannot make something like xposed and magisk,

are they retarded ?

big company seems to have way to many delusional seo.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prey521:
Lol is that a serious question? Smh
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pvtjoker42:
Google would never build something to modify it's own platform like xposed does, that causes all kinds of unstability if you choose the wrong options/modules etc. That's why it's on XDA.

While there are a couple features I miss from 8.1 with xposed/gravitybox passing safteynet and the ability to easily update with the monthly security updates does kinda pay off in the long run. The biggest headache I have with 9.0 is substratum, everything else more or less works without issue. I did have 1 app that just refused to work, but it hasn't been updated since 2016, so i blame the company not 9.0.

I do look forward to xposed being an option again on 9.0 some day, I'm ok with waiting for it on stock 9.0 rooted. If i really want some of the other features i miss, carbonROM and a couple other custom roms come a lot closer to having the features i miss.

Gmd gestures should be able to do most of the same things as Xposed edge I think.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Curiousn00b:
Give this one a try. I used Xposed Gestures for a good while when I first discovered it, but came across this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures

The same developer also made a PIE app as well, both are amazing. 10/10 for me.

On Pie(9.0), hiding the Nav bar also causes your recents to overlap the dock background a bit unless you revert to the old recents by uninstalling the Pixel Launcher.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] _genevera:
I feel like Xposed could be re-implemented as a series of Frida scripts
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Shanks:
I bought the one plus gestures and itsgood but in my personal opinion xposes is way Superior, it has more customization and you can use any edge of the screen as activation area and i hate my activation area at the bottom, i like it on the right edge of the screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Curiousn00b:
Yeah, Xposed will have far more customization due to limitations.

I'm one who likes my gestures or PIE to follow the Nav Bar, like stock behavior. Never really used my gestures for extra stuff, normally just used extra quick tiles for other things. :p

Lastly, the PIE app by the same Dev can be used on different sides of the device, but other than that, nothing to do but wait for Xposed to get updated. There's also a couple other apps that can be used on different sides of the device, but I myself don't know them.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nergal di Cuthah:
Xposed is written for individual sdk. The sdk for pie has not been written on xposed, and oreo is still in beta. so, no xPosed for oreo (90 beta 3 latest of this writing) will not function on Pie.

Virtual xposed works only for those modules which dont modify the system such as xinsta,youtjbe background etc. And yes theres a long wait for pie but m happily waiting on oreo coz i cant live without xposed edge!

Was there an answer to that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] godkingofcanada:
Alright. So. 8.1 to 9 has some changes. If Xposed comes forward to pie a Dev has to sit down and re write some of it. You might actually NEED rovo.

actually... we might need a real devs help. I can get xposed beta to install onto my pie device it just gets stuck at bootlogo after I flash the zip. if someone wants to help me figure this out I will try.. but I just ported pie to s6e+ and im trying to get that stable for a few guys and im in college so my time is already spread thin.

yes, I can install it on pie but it causes the OS not to boot

No but i going out that the answer is no!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] coolvabs:
Agree with you completely on xposed edge. Awesome module, another module that I use very frequently is exi for SwiftKey.

However you can also use GMD gesture control as a substitute for Xposed edge, comes quite close in terms of features and functionalities but only needs root and not Xposed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
There is an app in the Play Store called Edge Gestures that does basically the same thing. I've since moved to it as a replacement and it's been flawless for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vineet allahabad:
I'll give a try to both of em!! Thank you for the suggestions!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Shanks:
Edge gestures??? I usually use bottom and right edges of screen with xposed edge, does edge gestures have settings for top, center and bottom right edge?

Basically you can have 12 edges with xposed edge, is it only 3 with edge gestures?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I believe it has just bottom, left and right. However, there are so many different kinds of gestures per edge, where I personally feel its more than a good enough replacement for Xposed Edge.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wo0ts:
These may be stupid questions but I have tried everything I can think of.

I am on a

Verizon

pixel 2, locked bootloader, running the current release of android 9.

I am unable to toggle the "OEM Unlocking" option in developer settings

I followed this guide to enable the toggle but ADB/Fastboot still gives me the "Flashing Unlock is not allowed" message when i try to run "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock".

Ultimately I would like to be able to root my Pixel 2, but right now I would settle for being able to downgrade Google Play Services to version 12.6.85 because reasons. There does not appear to be a compatible APK for this version of play services and Android 9 on the Pixel 2 (that I have been able to find yet)

Is anyone aware of how I could do the following:

1. unlock my bootloader?

or

2. downgrade to any android 8 version?

or

3. downgrade google play services to 12.6.85 on Pixel 2 Android 9?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] GubblerJackson:
The guide you posted is for the original Pixel.

Verizon Pixel 2 has a locked bootloader, and Verizon has disallowed the option of unlocking.

Early in the year, a user here stumbled upon a few commands that would bootloader-unlock the vzw p2. However, any firmware past January (I think) has been updated to protect against this exploit. So you missed the window on that.

I don't think android allows downgrading while the bootloader is locked.

I'm not sure about downgrading play services, but you could easily get the desired .apk from apk-mirror, and attempt to install it. I'm guessing you're going to get an error. In that case, considering you don't have system r/w permission, I don't see any way you'd be able to downgrade play services.

So, short of someone coming along and finding another way to bypass vzw's restrictions, you're stuck on 9.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
That won't work. You can't downgrade to an earlier version, and if you've taken any updates past the January VZW variant, nothing can be done. Sorry....

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bmw9651:
yes I wiped it and went back to 810. bootloader has been unlocked as well. use fastboot and adb....... code: fastboot flash lock_critical. to unlock BL.

use skipsoft tool kit to wipe and reinstall OS to 8.1.,0.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
What I'm getting at is that your bootloader was unlocked _before_ you did everything. OP doesn't have that luxury.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] crixley:
Yeah he's full of it if he's saying otherwise. There is no way it would let you downgrade bootloaders in stock recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bmw9651:
Yes BL was unlocked before doing the change. I just rooted it with the skipsoft toolkit Magsik way. after trying others on it. with the skipsoft toolkit you can wipe it and go back to jan 2018 builds of you wish. there are many options on it to choose from.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

when i got my pixel 2 first thing I did was unlock boot-loader. fastboot flash lock_critical. is the command to do this . To the OP don't worry too much the pixel 3 is coming out soon. BUY it From the Google Store. you will be able to unlock BL and do as you please. DO NOT Buy from Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] crixley:
unless you need to get an RMA, in which case you get a device that cannot be unlocked, like mine for example.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] KirkH420:
By that do you mean that you submitted a warranty claim to google? You must not have. I am a Project Fi customer so I never have to think about such things. But yeah, if you bought your pixel from the google website, hooked it up to Verizon service and THEN called Verizon customer service and requested a warranty replacement or an Insurance claim then yeah. In that case you probably would receive a device with a locked bootloader because that's all Verizon deals with as far as I know. I submitted a warranty claim to Project Fi and The device they sent me came with an unlocked bootloader. I think I would have thrown a fit if they had sent a locked one. I would have been on the phone with a Supervisor stating that "the unlocked bootloader feature was 100% the reason I chose to buy the phone directly from google!" I would not have left them alone until I got my way. lol
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] crixley:
Yes, as have many others. I'm from Canada, device was bought through google and RMA'd through google. Has nothing to do with Verizon, there are tons of threads about it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jallenhayslett:
Another alternative, albeit a bit more convoluted, would be to update your current device to the latest update. Back up your user data as best you can, then factory reset, put it on Swappa, and then use the proceeds to purchase a secondhand Google variant with identical specs as the original. At least that way you won't have to deal with any more bootloader shenanigans. If your device is still in good shape and you're savvy enough about it, you may be able to come close to break-even.
