Thanks guys thats it decided then. Is it best to OTA to november then root via twrp after ul bootloader.

Yeah nav bar is a pet hate of mine, I used to love LMT launcher, might try the OP gestures though on this one

Try this: [Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by Homeboy76 do #4 then #8 if you want root. Also, Prerequisites has a link to download SDK Platform tools r28.0.1, if it needs updating.

I'm perfectly happy with the stock experience on this phone. I have no need for anything that requires root. I've rooted a lot of phones in the past, but there's something about this one that I just feel no need to do so. To me that says a lot for how far Google has come.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] GunToYoMouth123:
I'm getting my pixel 3 xl in a few hours today and I've been up all night watching pixel 3 xl videos. I was just about to post a question like this, but thanks to you I don't have to! The wonders of searching. :p

Anyways, I agree for adway and maybe even mods.

What bothers me is if I decide to use Google pay, Pokemon go or using my bank app, because I was told rooting can stop them from allowing me to use them.

I also want to do it out the box.

Also don't know about the new gesture stuff, so if I don't like it, I'd probably want to mod it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
That is exactly what I did with both a Pixel 3 and a Pixel 3 XL. Just don't do a permanent install of TWRP on the XL unless you want to lose your touch screen in TWRP with no way out of TWRP when it boots back in there. I ended up having to hold the power button down until I forced the device off. Booted back into bootloader and ran the temp TWRP (which strangely works fine for touch) and then ran Magisk again to get back to the OS. Strange, the regukar Pixel 3 took permanent TWRP after Magisk, rebooted to TWRP was still able to use touch commands and ran Magisk again to get back to the proper boot image. I can even go to TWRP normally, and touch is functioning normally. I'll have to write the stock boot image when I get home today so I can get back to stock recovery until TWRP for XL is fixed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Sevael:
Magisk has a hide feature built-in that has been working for me. I have several apps that normally detect root and Magisk blocks their detection 100%. My banking app works (normally detects root) and Google Pay is working just fine with Magisk hide.

My banking apps work fine but i can't get google pay to work. Even with magisk hide still not work. "This account already exists on your device" wheni try to sign in
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Sevael:
Not sure, I haven't encountered this.

I find that when an app has detected root, sometimes they retain this information even through reboots. In those situations, clearing all data from the app often fixes it.

Something else to be aware of is that if you have a widget for an app that detects root, it's not uncommon for the widget to load before Magisk finishes loading and hiding after a reboot. On my Pixel 2 I had one app where after each reboot it would load first (due to a widget being present) and would detect root and block itself. I had to remove the widget and just just use a normal shortcut to the app instead, as I would never manually open it before Magisk finished loading up fully.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] averydiablo:
I just got pixel 2 xl this thing is a beast came with 5g and unlimted data when I got tablets for kids literally no download it's all instant. every phone I have had b4 is rooted most still work. My question will I improve anything by rooting with this speed? I don't think a VPN blckr would slow it down. How hard is it to reverse root if I need warranty? Is this speed the 5g or just Google built a great product?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Unlocking the bl is problematic in some instances. Detection for apps and things like that. Why would you just not check off the "allow the bootloader to be unlocked" option in OEM unlocking? Then you get to fastboot and can unlock if needed without actually being unlocked and compromised.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
It is my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, that apps recognize root but not bootloader locked status. As long as you don't root, you should be fine with all apps.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
No I don't think so. If you bl unlock it will be detected. There are kernels that will fix that but stock unlocked is a trigger.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Milly7:
Yes. As [MENTION=2659927]bobby janow[/MENTION] said, some apps treat bootloader unlock as having root. DirecTV Now is a prime example. Also, Netflix won't even appear in the app store and would have to be sideloaded. Although, all of those can be worked around it is sometimes a pain.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dd805bb:
If you using the phone with other drm apps, like Netflix and such, do not root it. You will lose a lot of features related to casting and watching movies you pay for. Pay for services. Most of what I used to root for is adb command now. One that is not which I don't care about anymore is adaway. Since Q and dark mode, I have no reason to root. I have a pixel 3 XL and pixel XL. The 3 doesn't have root and the pixel XL does on Q. Massive amount of features are gone from root. Also doesn't matter if you have root or not, at system level the OS has real root. Now, like magisk is, every reboot resets almost everything. Some apps will auto start and some won't. Some that are not even needing root won't start. The OS is not root compatible yet. At least the way of rooting isn't. Plus it is a cat and mouse game with Google of apps not working and working. Magiskhide does it best, but one guy can not take on all of Google play store. They find ways to detect root and stop apps. Gpay is a classic example. Also on Q they have the ability to just shut your phone down rooted. I had it happen a few times now on my pixel 3 XL. A message bysides the normal bootloader unlocked message will appear for a day or two. Then a reboot will render the phone not able to boot. Avbbootverifyerror is what it will say. Once you get to that you have to wipe everything. It is a pain in the behind the first time. Now I got it down. But since I locked my bl and went back to Q, no problems. Dark apps, systemui tuner works. Nacho notch works. Q has great dormancy for apps running in the background. I also rooted via kernelsu. There is a thread going. That worked good but again Google eventually catches on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Well, Q is still DP and most devs are not willing to work on DP as it might be completely different of final release. Why waste time on it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dd805bb:
Waste time on Q? Q can run everything pie did and more. Yes there are a few issues but have work arounds already. Google put one out for isolated storage. I didn't even need it after the update. Q is where it is at. No need for theming apps. Only one I still have is nacho notch. Other than that works great. Like I stated above root has really fell off since pie. Theming and adblocking are the two big things to do. Most the old things to root for either have an adb command and can do it, systemui tuner for example also by the same that did nacho notch. I have button remapper which use to be root only, now can be done as a service app, button mapper by flar2. His apps and kernels are all over on here. Also there is root for Q already. KernelSU root. Which is cool but but needs more development like a front end app to authorize root. Rooting now and compared to five years ago is complete different. You use to have to root Samsung phones and other oems to rid their bloatware. Well I am on a pixel, least bloatware anywhere. Devs are still working on stuff, but have switched to actually making real apps if they want to survive. Pie blocked a lot of capabilities in rooting. Q has done even more. I have a pixel XL and a pixel 3 XL. Both on Q. Marlin is rooted. No real big difference in the way they are and can be customized. Q is blocking a lot of customizing. And like I said, my pixel 3 XL actually being unrooted I can do more with. And not have 5 to 10 extra overlays and apps running. Devs are already working on Q. The devs that won't work on it are ones that tweak the real devs work and try and make it their own. Most devs I follow on Twitter and Reddit are all over Q like fly on sheet.

I root for some UI Mods (Tulsa), Magisk Mods, Root Explorer, Adaway, TiBU, etc.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
I don't bother with the different rooms, but for me Viper, ad away, and the afwall+ are the reasons for me to root. As far as rooting and some programs, the only program that has given me grief due to rooting is Google pay, which after following the steps on another forum it works good (for now) but when it doesn't work I am not bothered as I do not use gpay that much. Otherwise magisk hide works well for all of the other programs (Netflix, banking programs, ect...) and haven't had any other issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] SacredDeviL666:
Without Root there is no elevated commands without no elevated commands there is nothing you can do beyond what your OEM wants you to do. Yes OEMS are including what users want gradually and wants to use them only.

Root isn't just for adaway, root is for the purpose of giving control of your device to do what you want to do, whether brick kick or make a rocket out of it. So comparing them with apps like gpay not working is trivial i would say.

Yes root is always worth unless the OEM lets us do the things we want no matter what it is without a limitation!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
My point is you will not see a lot of people jump of Q development until final release. It is functioning, I know this, but no one can know what google will change prior to final release. Why develop for something when your development might be incompatible with the final release?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TecMan45:
Hi Friends:

I was testing the new dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.4 for my SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800 and it has the following advantages:

- Auto-elimination the programs residents in memory, as soon as they are unused

- it has a menu to select the System Components and OEM-Applications

- it included the new application Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.7 for send/receive MMS

However, during the testing-time, I noticed the following:

- During the sync, it found and configured a new driver (HTC-)

- it had problems with Pocket Controller-Pro (TCP/IP connections)

- it had low-speed-navigation with Internet-Explorer

- I couldn't access the TV-Iusacell

In my case, they were more strong the disadvantages then the advantages for this reason, I went back to DCD_3.0.1_Sprint

With the new dcd_titan_3.0.4_sprint, I would like to know your experiences

- Does it have the same OEM-Applications than dcd 3.0.1?

- Does it eliminate the disadvantages from dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.4?

- Do you really recommend me the new dcd_titan_3.0.4_sprint?

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
still havent forgotten ;) ill take care of it today, promise! sorry for the delay, my week was just super tiring!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
aaalright, youve waited long enough, here are my accumulated battery and usage data so far ;)

data is based on LOS 14.1 by xuefer and MSM Xtended v9.5 by brother [MENTION=4479268]Jay_B[/MENTION]. These statistics represent a total usage time of 326 days or 10.7 months. during that time my battery capacity went from a start value of 5352 mAh to 5163 mAh, translating into a loss of 189 mAh total (or 3.5% total capacity less). this again means that per 100% charging cycle ive lost about 1.7 mAh or about 0.6 mAh per day of usage.

now lets get into the details of these two roms.

LOS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.2) by xuefer

Avg. Battery capacity = 5290 mAh

Avg. charging time (0-100 %) = 3h34m (24.7 mAh/min)

Avg. charging amperage = 1502 mA

Avg. total usage time (100-0%) = 75.8 h (70 mAh/h)

Avg. total SOT (100-0%) = 17h39m (300 mAh/h)

Avg. Battery usage (Screen on) = 4.8%/h (254 mAh/h)

Avg. Battery usage (Screen off) = 0.3%/h (16 mAh/h)

MSM Xtended v9.5 (Oreo 8.1.0)

Avg. Battery capacity = 5205 mAh

Avg. charging time (0-100 %) = 4h29m ( 19.3 mAh/min)

Avg. charging amperage = 1166 mA

Avg. total usage time (100-0%) = 51.0 h (102 mAh/h)

Avg. total SOT (100-0%) = 15h56m (327 mAh/h)

Avg. Battery usage (Screen on) = 6.0%/h (312 mAh/h)

Avg. Battery usage (Screen off) = 0.2%/h (10 mAh/h)

What can we see looking at this data?

Charging: LOS 14.1 has on average a 29% higher charging amperage and thus a total charging cycle takes around 55 minutes less than on MSM Xtended

Usage time & SOT:: LOS 14.1 provides both higher total usage and screen on times at +24.8h and +1h43m, respectively. Although be aware that differing usage patterns affect these values heavily!

Battery usage: Interestingly, LOS seems to have about 20% lower battery consumption when screen is on, but MSM Xtended is the standby champ here, with a whopping 38% lower standby battery consumption.

there you go, hope this helps! lets see what kinda stats android pie will bring ;)

Has anyone used the nillkin glass screen protector? Did this fix the polarization issue? Or do I need to use a plastic screen protector?

-Without rooting (still waiting for my unlock code), can I adb remove the default dialer and replace it with the google patched one with no issues?

Edit: I installed a patched google dialer version 24 off xda and set it as a default dialer with every permission, notification setting enabled. I have 2 sim cards in my phone, I changed the default sim for calls to 1 of them. But when placing a call it still asks which sim to use. I didn't have this problem with my rooted axon 7 using google dialer.
