I have a general question if y'all don't mind. Where in the heck do you get modules from??!! Didn't it used to be in the manager app itself, or am I crazy?

I was on GitHub but they all seemed way outdated. I mean osmosis is a genius but I don't think I need BusyBox lol

Although I do have AMM installed, I barely use it, and I don't have it check for updates to modules because it's often annoying to me, or duplicative. When I have found modules, it's usually been by word of "mouth": the forums, or results from a Google search, including results on Reddit or other places.

I don't have my list completely up to date, but I have a handful of modules that I'm either using, have used, or others have recommended whether I use them or not, in:

I did take the Google play update. I didn't notice this thread, as I can no longer get the xda app to work, and don't visit xda so much anymore.

Yeah, I can definitely confirm Google f++ked up monumentally with this update. I was wondering why my p8pro seemed more like something made 10 years ago all of a sudden.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Couldn't you find the apk and downgrade the app? If you're rooted I think there is a module for just that purpose. I've never done it so I don't know if it would screw something up.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I'm with you on that. I'm just ignoring that screen altogether
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I had FMM installed until about a month ago because it nagged the heck out of me to update Chiterman's PI Fix even though at the time it was already updated. (I use osm0sis mod now).

And if I tried to update FMM, I never knew which version to use and any I tried, failed to install....
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'll keep mine installed for now, but yeah, it's been a mess.

Clarification: FMM and AMM have been a mess with their updates to their app itself.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
I am using a mod for FP. It's chiteromens PIF with another module I found called NEXT. It puts a FP download app in your app drawer. It doesn't have any gui with it. But if your FP gets banned all you do is click on the FP download and it automatically downloads a new one. So far it seems great. I have only been rooted a couple days so I can't confirm that it always works but after activation of both modules and using FP download it worked first time without any need to find out input anything.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Apologies - I should have clarified. FMM and AMM have been a mess with their updates to their app itself.

I'm using NEXT as well, currently.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Oh. Sorry. I was confused about the subject. I'm not always the sharpest tool in the shed
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
Yeah I've tried relabs. I flashed the 3.1 beta and haven't taken any gpsu's until Google get it sorted. The phones good now

I didn't think of that, as I figured using the latest would be more likely the version that'd work :)

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think it should still be helpful. If Iconify works 100% on the P5's Android 14, then it should work on the 6, 7, and 8.

Thanks man. For the play integrity next (latest version), do I still need to download & install any app or is it included in the zip?

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome!

Reportedly, my impression is it's included in the module now. I thought I already had the latest version of the module installed, but I still had to install the other module which implemented the app for me, although I didn't have to use the app yet to be certified.

Still passing Device and Basic Integrity, and Play Store is certified.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] dr_rick13:
Thanks man - tried it but still get the device requirement error on Wallet.

Any other thoughts/ideas?

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
@roirraW "edor" ehT latest iconify and pixelxpert releases work seamlessly together on January Stable if you integrate them carefully while utilizing non-conflicting attributes. I have checked all options are working, though some overlays in iconify will show a Code Injected message in Momo (especially the ones which are out of the Lsposed tweaks space) hence I don't use them, but they work just fine. Many thanks to their respective developers for sharing their work with us.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
If you get an app in your drawer called FP downloader then you should be good. I think the zip was called "curl"or something like that. And I also installed PIF zip. I didn't get app in drawer until I installed the curl zip. But maybe they are all in one now. I'm my manager they are both separate modules.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only other advice I can think of are any other tips I give in the Post #2 Safety net section. I'm mobile at the moment, so it's less convenient for me to be more specific.

Sometimes it just takes time or an extra reboot as well, but wiping cache for the app might help.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] simplepinoi177:
It depends....

First and foremost, use a Play Integrity checker to see if you pass "MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY", as if you do not get that, you will get that error in Wallet. There is an in-built PI checker in Play Store app if you enable developer options.

Second, are you on a custom ROM and/or custom kernel? Which ones, as certain ones are blacklisted by Google and no amount of using PIF (Play Integrity Fix) will get things to pass....

If so...what are they?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
Oh yeah. I forgot to say that. All was working well with iconify. I did have one issue with the status bar text color not sticking at reboot, but restart system UI fixed it then it seemed to stick after that without problem. Works really well. 😁 👍 Thanks
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] dr_rick13:
Thanks man. I'll check if I pass integrity.

Also, I'm using Despair kernel and repainter app -- not sure if that matters

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Chickenkillla81:
The kernel could be doing it. I started using TB Checker to check integrity. You can do it in play store as well
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rmiles7721:
I'm using it on the January update. Everything works except I have not been able to make all of the QS text white and if you use the background chip around status icons it looks cut off.

Edit:Just checked. No update. And bard isn't in my messages too conversate with either.

I suppose that searching update prompts to install it again, right?

It removes the updates to the Media and Medic Codecs Mainline modules (which were causing problems) that came with the January GPSU.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Google had reported a week ago or so that they were pulling the update, so I shouldn't think so. I wouldn't test that, though. :D

Waiting for the circle. Wondering if beta users are screwed.

Also did some napkin math for Pixel 9 specs. Conservative and optimistic.

CPU: 1x Cortex X4, 4x Cortex A720, 4x Cortex A520 (expected)

GPU: Mali G715 MP7 or hopefully G720 MP10

Modem: Exynos 5153 (aka 5400) for satellite tech that isn't ready or the 5300 for the 3rd year in a row

Camera: I don't expect any changes since the GNK and friends setup right now is pretty good

Size: Unchanged. No idea what Caiman is supposed to do at 6.3" if the regular and pro will both have the 3 cameras, including telephoto

Screen: Unchanged. Don't expect Gorilla Armor but it might as well be the new gold standard.

Battery: Unchanged. Maybe finally at least 30W charging?

I haven't tried it. For roughly the last 13 years, I use @j4velin's thread [APP] Wallpaper Changer along with mostly all the same wallpapers that I like. I'm very selective about wallpapers I add to my collection as before the smartphone, on the computer 20 years ago, I was on a site with very creative art that led me to being overwhelmingly addicted to getting any new image that I liked as wallpapers.

So I have to keep away from that temptation.

Starting with the latest build of Google Messages you will not get RCS working if your device does not MEETS DEVICE INTEGRITY!

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] majorfigjam:
I can confirm that in a Pixel 6pro, with Osm0sis fork v7 and custom print, there is no change to play integrity status, and I still have device integrity, so you're likely to be OK for now.

However, given 15.5 print has a built in print, that may be more likely to be blocked by google in the near future.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BarackMitzvah:
I accidentally flashed the "Softbank" variant onto my Unlocked model, and flashing the Verizon build over top is not correcting the issue. I was rooted on magisk but have not even gotten to the point where flashing the init_boot.img because of this issue

After flashing from Dec to the Feb via the ADB/Fastboot OTA method, I continually receive the an error on boot that reads:

"Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message you may need to perform a factory reset and erase all user data stored on this device."

Any tips on how to recover without a full wipe? Any assistance here is immensely appreciated

Edit: maybe I accidentally enabled verity/verification? I am afraid to enable it to get a boot in case it isn't actually the issue, but who knows, it may be the problem. Hmm

Double edit: yep, must have been what happened. Lets just hope @Freak07 doesn't happen to roll along with a P8P kernel now that will make me go and re-disable it. his work is just too good not to hah
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi. First, the issue has nothing to do specifically with flashing one image for a particular carrier versus another or Global. It happens at random.

To fix it, (trust me) take an old boot.img (I'd suggest January), and yes, boot.img -

not init_boot.img

. Flash it to your phone. Try to boot with it. It will fail to boot, but correct the issue. Now flash the new February boot.img. All should be good from then on.

Flashing any build does completely overwrite the previous build that you flashed. There is nothing left over.

Edit: It does look the same or similar as to when you disable Verity and Verification, but it's something different and has been happening at least since the Pixel 6, it's happened twice to me - fixed it both times the same way. It's also happened to others who also fixed it the same way.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BarackMitzvah:
Good to know! I did try and flash the entire January build over this one (which I assume would also do what you're suggesting) with no luck

However, enabling verity + verification did seem to fix my issue, I have a tough time thinking that I would have somehow enabled those while also removing the wipe flag from the FAB, but alas for now we are good

I'll remember this when it happens again, because this is not the first time I've had issues

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Very interesting! Not to put words in @Lughnasadh's mouth, but my vague recollection of his best guess was something like that when the (old) boot.img itself works, the system says "oh, okay", we must not be corrupt after all. :P Flashing the whole old build didn't do the trick for me the first time I had this issue as well, so it's possible that the enabling Verity+Verification is an alternate to flashing the old boot.img, then attempting to boot, and then re-flashing the new boot.img.

I completely believe you, and I doubt you would've accidentally disabled those as well.

One of us who is more prone to being experimental will have to keep this in mind the next time this happens to one of us.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I'm not sure that method works for the "Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message you may need to perform a factory reset and erase all user data stored on this device."

That method is used to get rid of the red eio (dm verity) corruption message: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly".

EDIT: But maybe it would????
