Welcome to the Magisk family, Pixel 3!

I originally planned to do more changes to Magisk Manager before a new public release, but I think people can't wait to root their shiny new Pixel 3, so here we go!

Up-to-date Documentations

Some subtle details, design choices, developer guides are all added to the documentations!

For most average users though, the most interesting part would be the tutorial: Best Practices for MagiskHide, please take some time and check it out!

Magisk Documentations

Boot Image Header v1

Google updated the boot image header format from v0 to v1 and was first used on the Pixel 3. The new header supports recovery DTBOs, which won't be used on any A/B devices, including Pixel 3 so that isn't the main issue here. The new format stores its version number to an originally unused entry in the header to determine whether the extended header entries is used. However in some freaking devices like Samsung's, they have been using the supposedly "unused" entry as the size of an non-AOSP "extra section" for quite a long time. magiskboot is designed to support extracting these extra sections (because people use Samsung), but with the introduction of header v1, the tool couldn't interpret the image properly, and thus generating invalid boot images.

magiskboot's boot image parsing, unpacking and repacking code was rewritten with C++ to utilize the more powerful language features due to the complexity (because I still need to support freaking PXA format headers used by old Samsung devices...)

MagiskSU Rewrite

Both the daemon and client side of MagiskSU is completely rewritten with improvements and optimizations, for example: simplified `su_info` caches, early ACK between daemon and client to prevent process freezing when denied, sending parsed command-line options instead of full arguments, and many more!

Samsung Defex Patches

A hexpatch for removing Samsung's new KNOX feature: Defex Safeplace was actually already introduced in previous releases, but that solution wasn't ideal since each new kernel release would generate different patterns. A more general patch (which is only a single CPU instruction!) was discovered and included into this new release.

Magisk-Modules-Repo Moderation

If you aren't aware, a team of zealous volunteer moderators were already starting to review new submission manually, being the gate keeper of our beloved Magisk-Modules-Repo. Hopefully this will prevent pointless/spam modules polluting the download section in Magisk Manager!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] SMitkov:
Hello, guys! I had a serious issue with the slow-mo video of the G5..The problem is that when i start recording and the colors are changing non-stop..

The colors goes like the warmth go down..Did anyone else have that problem and how to solve it? Any ideas?

Unfortunetly i can't show u the video i found in youtube witch is the same problem like mine...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
It's due to the automatic white balance, try using manual camera mode (there are some threads in LG G5 Mods Section that explain how to enable manual video if you don't have a custom rom) and manually set white balance, resolution to 1280x720 and FPS to 120.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] SMitkov:
Yeah, this is a good idea, but it needs root and the phone is not rooted...other idea? Because really am wondering what are the good and the bad things into rooting the phone :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
Any kind of modification to system apps require root. You can use other apps that allow white balance for video, such as Cinema FV-5. Even though the profe$$ional version has much more controls for color grading, in free version you can manually set and lock the white balance. From the user manual:

I don't remember if that app can take slow motion videos though.
[Shift Development] JayRayMee.NL:
Did someone manage to change the hard drive already?

I have the full instructions and pictures now and all I need is a disk with a higher capacity. I have found them in stores here, being ATA100 ZIF, 1.8" single platter - so 5 mm in height - drives (80GB).

Other than the capacity that's

exactly

the type of disk that's in the Shift now.

The maximum capacity of the 1.8" single platter ones is 80GB at this time. 100, 120 and 160GB capacities are double platter drives, being 8 mm in height.

Does somebody know (perhaps the ones that have done the job already) if this 0.3 mm difference matters inside the Shift, or if that would be no problem at all? I can't tell that from the instruction pics.

80GB is nice, but 120GB or 160GB (160GB LaCie LittleDisk, just take the disk out of the case) would be even better, ofcourse.
[Shift Development] XenoV:
3 mm, not 0.3 mm :)
[Shift Development] JayRayMee.NL:
Woops my bad!! I guess I meant 0,3 cm.... :rolleyes:
[Shift Development] lucid:
please post specs

Can you post the specs of current harddrive (there also in other posts, but to make this post more valuable?)

Please also post the specs and URL of your intended 80GB replacement.

I might order and try :)
[Shift Development] motoi_bogdan:
yes that would be a good ideea. untill i dissasemble my shift it would be nice to have a refference point.
[Shift Development] motoi_bogdan:
no problem upgrading to double platter hard drives. At least in size.

I've opened the shift and yep, there is enough place.
[Shift Development] JayRayMee.NL:
Hi there,

Could you do a detailed description in how to remove the keyboard?

Thanks!!
[Shift Development] waici:
Hi all,

"There is enough place" : Does anyone have already tried to change the hard drive with a double platter one ?

This could confirm that it is possible.

Now for the ones who have replaced it, which models have you installed and work properly ?

Shift's owner since 3 days, I already have only 2 gb free space ! I have to quickly replace my hdd !

Thanks for your responses,

:cool: waici :cool:
[Shift Development] ferrett1968:
Yesss...

I confirm that there is place for a 120 hdd, the problem is to clone the OS!!!!!

[Shift Development] waici:
I am waiting for a 100gb hard drive and I think a ghost copy should work fine.

I'll let you know.
[Shift Development] YannR:
As I wrote here :

Upgrading the HDD

Ferrett,

I'm surprised you didn't report this "space" problem. Your comments?
[Shift Development] CowboyJoe:
One thing I found when I had my Shift tore down is this; I have the 3G/GSM version and I found that the device that holds the SIM card sticks up and prevents me from putting in a Toshiba MK8009GAH 80gig drive that I have due to is is just a little thicker than the MK4009GAL drive currently in the Shift. The HDD ribbon cable fit just fine. If I had been able to get the case to close all the way I imagine I would of had an 80gig Shift.

So has anyone found a larger drive the same thickness of the MK4009GAL?
[Shift Development] YannR:
CowboyJoe,

I second that : 8 mm height HDD don't fit properly the Shift. Most pressure applied on the SIM card reader, indeed. Not heathly at all, I would say.

Unfortunately, as of today, anything above 40GB 1.8' HDD is 8mm height...

The only alternative could be 1.8' SSD drives (I'm not sure about the size, btw) but they are not yet widely available and tremendously expensive! See this thread
[Shift Development] riki0081:
Hello CowboyJoe,

I found MK6028GAL.

It's 5mm thickness with 60GB.

Samsung MCCOE64GEMPP

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productInfo.do?fmly_id=161&partnum=MCCOE64GEMPP
[Shift Development] JEM:
I've had my eye on that one as well. I'm pretty confident it will work, but I'm interested in the opinions of others.

I've come to the conclusion that an SSD is the way to go. Power consumption, according to the Samsung specs, appears to be one-half of a standard drive. And the performance specs are ridiculous. With only 1GB of RAM and Vista, the page file is constantly being accessed. I'm thinking the SSD will provide noticeable improvements in both responsiveness and battery life.

The downsides are price (~$1000USD) and capacity. I have read that Intel will release their SSDs in Q3. Initially, they will have a 1.8" 80GB and later a 120GB version. This could potentially drop the cost of the current 64GB drives by half. I've decided to wait awhile. Otherwise it could feel alot like like burning a $100 bill every month for the next 5 months...
[Shift Development] YannR:
Keep in mind the connector... We need ZIF here.

Do you know which connector Intel will use (if not SATA one...)?

[Editing] I see a ZIF connector but rather limited storage capacity (up to 16GB), aiming "low-cost" laptops...

Guessing we will have the HTC Shift getting dust in a corner when appropriate storage capacity become available. Same comment when comes to Samsung's SSD products versus price...
[Shift Development] CoDeX2k:
The Samsung is using a ZIF ;-) I orderd one today. will get it end of next this week. For business I don't need more then 64GB its enough for me. I also have a 32GB SD Card Class 6 from Panasonic in the Shift with my Personal files in exchange with my bigger notebook X300 from Lenovo.
[Shift Development] YannR:
erratum...

Hello CoDex2k,

Ok... I guess I was tired when I did some posts on this thread... :rolleyes:

First, HTC Shift is using LIF Connector. So, CoDex2k, tell us if you have been able to get things fitting together (the Samsung MCCOE64GEMPP

you ordered)...

And last "erratum" : I see the specs for the MK8025GAL says it's a 5mmm model... So my previous remark is wrong (unless Toshiba had some modifications done on the specs web page...).
[Shift Development] Bradaland:
SSD for 2009

Hi, I am getting my shift this week and looking to put in the max SSD drive I can. (Including a 32GB SDHC card too)

Does anyone have any recommendations on the maximum GB compatible SSD drives for the Shift?

I really only need close to 100-120GBGB drive, but hey, why not reach for the sky if it's close enough!

Also, is there a recommended RAM module everyone is having success with?

I'm planning on upgrading that to 2GB (or higher if possible)

Thanks in advance!
[Shift Development] YannR:
Hello Bradaland,

My last post related to the Shift is now rather old but from top of my head :

So far, no 2GB RAM module has been made. We have a thread on this topic.

On the HDD upgrade side, there is only few SSD drives with the right connector/interface. PATA interface is now obsolete and modern Storage devices use SATA.

Use the search feature here... ;)
[Shift Development] Bradaland:
Thanks Yann!

Yes, I found the thread you are talking about.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigdave79:
I got my Pixel 3XL device yesterday and it seems to me that the quality of the front facing speakers is much worse than previous generations. My Nexus 6P had better front speakers. The top and bottom speakers are clearly very different. The top speaker is basically just sound from an earpiece speaker and sounds tinny and not very loud. The bottom speaker is more bassy but muffled. I wanted to know if it's just my unit or anyone else noticed the same. Maybe the regular Pixel 3 is better? The speaker grilles look symmetric on that device.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
The top speaker on both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 series does not get as loud or have as much bass as the bottom speaker. They also sound less warm in tone than the 6P, but some have assumed the waterproofing mesh that is used contributes to this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheAtheistOtaku:
notifications sound terrible. they only come out one speaker so its not loud and sounds like crap. why in the world would google make it so that only one speaker is used for notifications?? other then that they are fantastic
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
This is a wide spread issue. Hopefully Google jumps on this quickly. I think they could easily fix them in a software update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
It's been like this for most dual speaker phones. Every HTC , Pixel, and Sony dual speaker phone I've had only uses notifications and call speaker through the bottom speaker. I'm surprised people are just now noticing this. I started a thread on the pixel 2 forum nearly a year ago asking if anyone found a mod to enable the second speaker for notifications and speaker phone calls. Short answer, no.

I am sure we can find a solution by editing the right XML files in the root system directory.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
My note 9 sounds better. May have to return this baby as the speakers and camera are my main reason for switching and I don't think either are better.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] isjoining:
I have both the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, the smaller Pixel 3 do sound much better than the XL. The XL sounds muffled and not as clear compared to the smaller Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
Figures. Last year the small Pixel had a better screen, so Google fixed that this year. Now they screwed up the speakers. What's next? Oh well, once we get root we can fix the sound. I feel sorry for the Verizon Pixel owners, they won't be able to do anything about the sound.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nycdiplomat:
In the interim, could try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free

Does this run in the background and drain battery much??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
I havent noticed any extra drain. 4hr sot at 53% since
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
I don't have any way to quantify this, but I think that there might be a break in period for the speakers. While they remain unbalanced in volume output between top and bottom speakers, the clarity, quality and distortion have all improved greatly. The distortion seems to be gone and I no longer can hear any "fuzziness" in the audio. And when watching videos, people speaking is much more clear and understandable. Like I said, this could just be my perception but I'm very pleased by this considering the very rough start with this phone.

All that said, my iPhone still sounds better on balance. But that doesn't really surprise me as Apple has been in the music game far longer.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
I Googled it and Google says speakers do have a break in period. Maybe the speakers will sound better the longer they're used. I don't know if it's true or not but you can Google it and read what I did.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] westside80:
Listen to this video around half volume. Listen to your bottom speaker.

Can you tell when holding the phone 12 or more inches away from your face? I am pretty sure that is the use case the sound was engineered for... I can't but my hearing sucks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Huh, I use speakerphone all the time and I think it sounds great. Also sounds fine to me with videos and that sort of thing where dialog is clear and relatively natural sounding. You folks talking about music playback over the speakers?

Edit... Ok, never mind. Just listened to music through the speakers and that does have sort of a muffled quality to it. I cant compare it because I never use my phones to play music through the speakers but I'm guessing it's usually more clear.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
I dont like the imbalance especially since my pixel 2 xl doesn't have it granted the 3 xl speakers have better quality then the 2 XL . i can hear the one side much louder making the other one almost not heard at all because the one side just over powers it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dratsablive:
This may not be a sound issue, as a notification issue. I noticed that if you play the notification sound from the settings menu, it sounds clearer, than when it's used in a notification. Anyone else want to try and see if they hear the same?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TiltedAz:
In general, there is some truth to improved sound after speaker break-in. It's normal high end speaker manufacturer education to consumers.

It may slow down the phone. But it will also give new looks and better features. Also, there is always an option to downgrade if you can use your laptop and spend some time to install any custom rom. (Will also void the guarantee)
