[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] RoryDurrant:
Hey,

I bought a mi 8, loved it, tried to reflash the global rom to fix Google Pay issues, managed to brick it while installing TWRP.

Have now tried reflashing the global ROM with MiFlash only to find a message that says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". Now the bootloader is locked and I am not sure what to do.

(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

Please Help.

Thanks

Good day.

I have the motorola xt1609 version 7.1.1 npi 26.48-38

What would be the procedure to do the update to npi 26.48-38-3 or simply remove the update notification.

should you have the root phone to install twrp?

Thank you for your cooperation.

I'm planning on releasing a game for iOS and Android. I've got 2 options - either annoy users with ads every 2 minutes and losing profit when they turn off wifi/use adblock OR giving them option to "pay" me using their phone as cryptomining device. The plan was to mine mainly when device is charging and not overheated, so user won't notice any battery drain or speed issues.

It was shame to find out that any form of cryptomining on users devices is forbidden by both main stores. Does anybody know of a way to not being found out by any of these stores?

Will Play Protect (and whatever Apple uses) detect it or does detection depend on users reports only?

Thanks

PS: Only due to existence of other controversial topics as "password bypassing" or sharing cracked code I am daring to post such a topic here.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Noobology:
Please can you refer to something, that says it is illegal, and in which cases? I doubt it is illegal when the user agrees to using it.

And as I said, it wouldn't be the only illegal content here, would it?

That's so rude and uncalled for.

If you have nothing helpful to post, ignore & move on. You are not forced into responding.

There's enough hate in this world.

Why spread even more?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] agraceful:
Are you kidding?! You cannot inject malware to jack someone's smartphone and use it to mine. Not to mention the shear stupidity which you will not even get pennies. You understand that it's called theft correct? It's a clear violation of the electronics communication privacy act, the computer fraud and abuse act, and the children's online privacy protection act. Then there are numerous state laws it violates. Anyone seen supporting this, will also be liable to be held responsible. This is disgusting.

Thanks for this. The no search bar makes the stock launcher perfect for me, that alone is worth rooting.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dylan_x10:
Hi Tulsa, thanks so much for this. Is there any plans to be able to increase bottom margin. I have the nav bar hidden and the screen bar is so close to the edge, would love to have increased padding. Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I haven't heard from you in quite a while, sir. I'm glad you are here!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I have mine removed also and it works fine. What are you using for navigation?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GuestK00143:
Yes my friend it's been a long time. I gave up on the 2XL and went back to Samsung until about a week or so ago. The Note 9 camera with action shots is terrible along with the curved screen had me come back to the Pixel line. Glad I did, I have zero regrets.

Same here, mine works just like the stock launcher without the nav bar.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GuestK00143:
Can the at a glance be removed?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The weather-temp on home page? Go to home page text page, remove smart space.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dylan_x10:
Hi There, using fluid navigation. It works great, no issues with the search bar or anything, its just a cosmetic thing. It looks off being so close to the edge of the screen and was just wondering if there was a way to modify the padding from the bottom of the screen in the stock launcher.

TIA
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I here you but most people think more screen is better otherwise why remove the navbar in the first place.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GuestK00143:
I used the remove weather-text home screen option and it cleared text in the top column but now the space is unusable. My weather widget is only able to go to the 2nd column from the top of the home page.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
So far I have been unable to clear that area up for use. I'll continue looking though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] quinejh:
Ok, I have a question. When I unzip this or your other mod installer into my platform tools folder it's asking me if I want to replace my adb file or not can u tell me if I should? I ask because when I did click replace I was unable to flash stock at a later date. I had to totally delete my tools and files and do a fresh setup.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] w0rdie:
Any option to remove only homescreen text but not for the drawer?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
There is no reason to unzip this where your platform tools are. Unzip it someplace else.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
There should be. Home text menu. Select transparent.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] w0rdie:
Derp. Missed it. Thanks!

For anyone trying to use this on Windows I had to use PowerShell vs CMDR / *.terminal.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
At the risk of getting flamed, how do I grant give "ADB root permissions?" I know how to launch adb commands via powershell on Windows 10, I'm rooted etc etc, but not sure how to do this step.

Sorry for my ignorance on this
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bryanx86:
Del
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bryanx86:
No, I was wrong. You have to go into adb shell, then type su. Been a while since I've done this. Sorry for the ot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'm not sure about Windows 10 but my bats all have adb shell su cmds so when flashed the very first time a Magisk su window should open on your phone asking for root permission or at least that's how it works on Windows 7.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
Got it! Easy fix, should have figured it out! Read another off-topic old post and realized that I had to go into Magisk and grant su pemission to "shell" once I did that, good to go!

Thanks all

Scratch my last. It looks like everything installs properly, but, when I reboot after, nothing has changed. On a side note, option 3, does not do anything on my computer when I hit it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
I tried installing using the file from the other thread too, no luck either. Not sure what I'm doing wrong at this point.

I'm on Windows 10, all they latest drivers etc. I granted shell permission in magisk. I feel like it's something in either powershell or CMD prompt? Like I need to enter another command before I click on the. Bat file?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
After you make all your selections are you hitting the "complete installation" option at the bottom? Nothing is installed until you do. It is just pushed to your phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
Yeah I do. Phone reboots also. But when it restarts, nothing has changed.

Question, your files DO NOT need to be in the same folder as my SDK tools,
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
No. They have their own ADB executibles but it is best to have yours setup as system wide.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Do you have to delete the prebuilt app in root files first?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
No, this pulls it off, modifies it and puts it back.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
I had Nova launcher installed too, thought maybe that was somehow interfering, so I uninstalled it. Still no go
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'm working on one that is flashed in TWRP. Not an aroma but you unzip it onto your sdcard.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
Lemme do this, here are the steps I'm using;

1. Ran adb to have magisk grant superuser to "shell"

2 went into magisk and approved shell access

3 connect phone, make sure USB debugging is active and the phone is in MTP

4 ring the batch file

5 make selections

6 click complete installation, let phone reboot

Computer is running Windows 10 and all drivers are up to date
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Looks correct
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Try this one. Unzip contents into a folder of your choosing on your internal sdcard. There will be folders with the about the same names as the ADB Installer. In TWRP, find that folder. Same thing, select base first, then anything else you want. Each selection is a full install that modifies the previous one.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603862116

I did that one kind of fast. This one has better folder descriptions.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603862133
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
I'll be able to try it in a few hours. I don't have food version of TWRP installed but I can of course fastboot boot to the img file and do it that way
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Adb installer worked perfectly after I realized I didn't need to put my phone into bootloader mode. I feel really stupid ?.

When I just plugged my phone into the PC and ran the installer, worked first time. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheFuzz:
Hey dude, that worked perfectly! Still no idea why didn't work otherwise but your awesome! How do I donate? You certainly deserve it!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I appreciate it but hitting the thanks button is plenty good enough.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The last one had a flaw with No search and removing weather app. I was trying some things and messed it up. Here is a corrected copy.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Badger50:
I knew you'd say that! Your a good man TD! :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Does this work only on stock?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
This is just a launcher mod. It doesn't affect custom roms but only mods Google Pixel launcher.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidspider:
These good to use on standard pixel 3 too?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Actually, yes. The Pixel launcher is the same.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Is it possible to make a modded Pixel launcher that works on DU?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Not if it is a custom launcher.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Not to mod a custom launcher, but a Pixel launcher with 6 columns and 50 dpi that I can flash on DU?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
That would be great. I loved using your modded Pixel launcher on stock, but on DU, there is only Lawnchair that comes close.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Just make sure you are using the pixel launcher.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
If I download Pixel launcher, it keeps crashing on DU.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
What launcher does it show in your settings?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Quickstep is built into the Rom.

I've downloaded Lawnchair and I'm using that now. I just downloaded the November version of Pixel launcher, but if I select it as default, it crashes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidspider:
can you check teh TWRP version link in the OP please, it doesnt link to a download

cheers

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Would modded the pixel launcher have anything to do with not getting the dark theme on the discover feed or has it just not rolled out to everyone yet?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't know but my launcher is modded and my feed is dark.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
How do you have the dark feed? I'm still waiting! ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Maybe we are taking about different things. Are you talking about this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I don't have it yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidspider:
Can this mod just remove search bar in app drawer?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidspider:
Ok, can it be themed dark?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Base is black on dark theme, transparent on light.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidspider:
Ok I'll take the plunge. Cheers
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] HiM@L:
Hi,

is 7 row homescreen possible?

thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'm not sure. I'll take a look when I get a chance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
This is the max as far as how far up towards the statusbar you can get. 7 across is doable.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] HiM@L:
oh ok.

i like 7/8 rows with 6 columns.

is there away to remove that gap between dock apps and search bar.

Note: my display dpi is at 539
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'm not sure. I'll take a look at it a little later when I get time
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] gogoffm:
How to restore to stock launcher? Tx
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Well, in the case that you didn't make a backup, you can flash this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] gogoffm:
Nah, didn't make one. I need it just for the case..... Thanks for this.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] LGFr....:
Possible to make the homescreen wider (icons closer to the bezels)? That'l be great... Now there rather big space (see screeshot from app drawer)

Thx
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
It kind of looks like there is barely enough room for the scroll bar as it is..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] LGFr....:
...was thinking about the homescreen (appdrawer screenshot just example). See this one now, almost no bezels here with Nova launcher.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] LGFr....:
Now with modded Pixel launcher:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
No, I can't get them that close to the sides.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Is there a version still available that changes the app drawer background from light to dark instead of transparent?

I used to have one but I can't find it anymore.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The bases alone will make dark theme black but light theme transparent. There are options to change those colors. Here is a zipped launcher mod. Run complete installation after making your selections.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603911300
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
An issue im having is that the Google feed stays dark all the time. If I switch to light display, the drawer changes to light background but the folders stay dark and the feed stays dark.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Maybe a screenshot would help. The Pixel launcher mod doesn't change Google feed, or at least much. The background might change a hair. I don't know what folders you are talking about that are staying dark.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
A screenshot wouldn't help. The Pixel launcher changes the google feed to the left of the desktop from light to dark depending on whether the display theme in settings is set to light or dark. With your mod, when the theme is changed to light, the app drawer changes, but the folders on the desktop set up on the desktop stay dark and the google feed stays dark.

You had an adb installer awhile ago that worked fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
The one uploaded 11-30 is an ADB Installer.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Ok, I'll try it later today. Thanks

Not really. Have something in mind?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hilla_killa:
Not launcher related at least i think but is there any way to make the top corner of display light up like an led notification light? Just a tiny spot to mimic the led. Just curious is all
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
For that I would have to tie it to the notifications as to when there was any and to go away when there wasn't. That is more than likely beyond something I can do.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hilla_killa:
I see its a good idea for an led light alternative, thanks for the response ????

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397942901
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] HiM@L:
this worked thanks.

also, is there a way to reduce that gap between dock app and search bar when changing display dpi.?

Future plans

Awesome info! I just picked up a 4xl last week and the grid spacing is killing me! Do you (or know of anyone who might) have plans to do something like this on the 4's?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Yes, I already have.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] DfBark:
Is that something that's available for download?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
Yes, on the 4XL forum. The ADB Installer thread at the bottom.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rspkt:
Is there a way to use this on OSX due to the .bat file(s)?

I tried using Windows 10 via Bootcamp and following the guide after reboot nothing is applied. I see another user posted about issues on Windows 10 trying to install this as well with no solution. Anyone get this working on Windows 10?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I don't know what OSX is. I have Windows 10 and it works fine. I also don't know what bootcamp is.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rspkt:
Mac OSX? Reason I ask is .bat files are Windows specific. OSX only likes .sh files like when doing a factory image update. If the scripts were in that format it might work for Mac users. Bootcamp is just Apple's way of allowing a Mac to boot Windows as it's OS which is one way I tried doing this booting Windows 10. I've also tried using an OS emulator like VMWare Fusion to emulate Windows 10 and Windows 7 with no luck either.

I always get the same issue. ADB shell has root access, run the Tulsa.bat file and install the base then any additional mods and then "complete installation" but it never works after rebooting. I have tried watching the scripts output to see things like this when installing any "base":

...
mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts
...

... and when running "complete installation" I see a few errors like these cp and chmod errors:

Installing TulsadiverMods
mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts

cp: bad '/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk': No such file or directory
cp: bad '/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk': No such file or directory
adding: classes.dex
...

... and then later down the verbose output errors like this....

...

Pretty confused why this isn't working like you say it should on Windows 10 or Windows 7... Any suggestions would be quite welcome. Is there a way to save a log of the verbose information from the installation so I can provide that to you for some insight?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
This thread is really old. The pixel launcher isn't even called NexusLauncherPrebuilt any longer. It's NexusLauncherRelease. You need to go to my other thread. Android 10 ADB Mods Installer. I'm running November update as we speak. Give me a few and it'll be done.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rspkt:
Ah ok. Will do. I appreciate the reply ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
I'll also update this thread.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
