features to any Pixel 3, 4 or 5

device running on

Android 11

:

Forces Google Sans font system wide

63 Accent colors

12 Icon shapes

22 Fonts

Wallpapers Breel 2019; 2020 & 2020a

9 different Dark Styles

Adds 2 button mode navigation (it was removed on Android 11 but I think some users like that navigation mode, so I add it)

Background Blur options

Blur Intensity options

Adaptive sound options

Navigation bar options (hide pill, reduce keyboard bottom space size, hide assist handles)

SystemUI Tuner options

Rounded corner options

QS Rows x Columns options

QS Footer Drag Handle options (Default, Accent based, Hidden)

Everything can be controlled using Styles & Wallpapers and also Rom Control app.

This MOD will

probably work

on any AOSP, or close to it, ROMs.

Get it here: Android_11_Addon_Features_for_Pixel_V8.zip

Just a note,

this module already includes a SafetyNet fix

, so

if you're using another module for SafetyNet

, please

remove it

since I don't know if that couldn't cause issues.

For all users already running

Android 12

please go to THIS THREAD.

Exclusive features downloads

:

Android_11_Addon_Features_For_Pixel_V13.zip -> "Harmless" module that works

on any Pixel device running on STOCK ROM

, much like the "universal mod" shared above, but with a Rom Control app version that

has more options

. The "exclusive features" options won't do anything if the SystemUI module, shared next, isn't installed. If your going to try these exclusive features module, install this one

and not

the one shared above. The SaftetyNet is also included on this module, so once again, don't try to use any other SafetyNet module since it could break things.

Android_11_SystemUI_for_Addon_Features_V10.zip ->

This is "THE" module

! This module adds all xml and smali changes into SystemUI. Without this module the "exclusive features" won't work. Also, this module could be responsible for breaking boot if it fails to work at your end. I've ran several tests on my device (a Pixel 4a) and didn't face any issues but, since this module replaces stock SystemUI for a modded SystemUI, you could run into problems if some other module tries to do the same or it's simply incompatible with it. This module was updated to match

latest Android 11 October 2021 build

.

Android_11_SystemUI_for_Addon_Features_V9.zip -> Use this version

ONLY

if you're still running any Android 11

build between June and September 2021

!

Notes regarding the "exclusive version" for Pixel devices:

DO NOT

, I'll repeat, DO NOT flash "SystemUI module" zip on any

other ROM besides stock

. It won't work! If you want those extra features on your current ROM you will have to port them yourself. I explain

how to later on this post

.

Make sure that you're able to

run adb shell as root

before rebooting your device.

If something goes wrong after flashing "SystemUI module", like

if your device doesn't boot or something stupid

, connect your phone to your PC during boot and run this:

adb shell

su

rm -rf /data/adb/modules/Modded_SystemUI && reboot

If you

forgot to enable the ability to run adb shell as root

, and

if your device is on a "non-boot" state

, the only way you can fix that is to remove all Magisk modules you have installed. That can be achieved by running the following commands during boot:

adb shell

magisk --remove-modules

​

If none of the above methods work to get your device booting, then you have to boot into safe mode. By doing so, Magisk will disable all modules for you (it doesn't uninstall them, just disables them). To force a boot into safe mode all you need to do is to keep pressing volume down button during boot animation. After the system boots into safe mode you can reboot your device to boot up normally (since all modules will be disabled). If you get stuck during boot animation again, just force another reboot (I've had to do that during my tests).

The "SystemUI module" requires that your device is already updated to

March build

!

When a

new OTA update

comes please

don't flash the "SystemUI module" until I say it's ok to do so

. I mean, me or any other member who may have tested it. Why? Because Google may change things on stock SystemUI between builds. When that happens, I have to recreate the module again to adapt those changes. For instance, March build was not compatible with the module that was built on top of February build SystemUI.

Rest assured that I'll always test the module with new builds and update as necessary

.

In case your device gets caught in a bootloop, please provide me a logcat so I may try and look if anything can be done about it. To do so, during boot connect your device to your PC and grab a logcat with this adb command:

adb logcat > log.txt

Requirements:

Unlocked bootloader

Magisk Root | Magisk Manager

Suggestion:

Uninstall all other modules you may have installed

IF

you're going for the "exclusive features". They could be incompatible with the "SystemUI module" thus making the device get caught in a bootloop. You may install them afterwards, one by one, just to make sure everything is ok.

If you're up to it, instead of disabling/removing modules, just flash latest stock build through fastboot. If you want to retain your data, remove the "-w" flag from the update command on flash-all script.

How to install?

(If you're running a Pixel 5, just install the module...you don't need all these next steps)

Uninstall Device Personalization Services updates

Clear Google Play Store app data and cache

Flash the Magisk Module(s)

Reboot device

Open Google Play Store and update Device Personalization services (or any other Pixel exclusive app you see it needs to update).

Profit!

How's these "exclusive features" even possible?

All (well, not all but almost...) features that you see on Pixel Devices "SystemUI module" were reverse engineered from Evolution X ROM source code. The source code is available on the link bellow shown on the credits. This means that I've been practicing some hard core "old school" Android smali edition in order to get this working. So, yes, I have some credits about this but, if it weren't for the original developers and it's public source code, none of this would be possible. Thank them for this!

Smali, and xml, edition wasn't enough to get this working. After decompiling, changing/adapt the code and recompiling everything again, I had to find a way to make it bootable without messing with the original apk signature. And here is where

VR Theme logic came in handy

. So thanks for the original dev who brought us this feature.

As for ROM Control app....this was/is a project created by daxgirl and wubydax back in 2015! So yeah, I'm not bringing anything new here, I just followed their instructions in order to get the features working after editing smali/xml with the source code taken from Evolution X. The original app source code is also available on the link shared on the credits.

I've just combined all of the above into a Magisk Module and shared here so that we can

get the best of both worlds

....

a stock ROM with custom features included
