Not getting it because I need my phone intact.
But here's an idea: build it with inferior hardware (instead of 384MB of RAM and 800MHz, use 300MB of RAM and 600MHz) and modify it to recognize 384MB RAM and 800MHz. The RAM and CPU usage should be lower. If you didn't understood, it's like installing Windows XP on a PC with 4GB of RAM and a Quad-Core 2000MHz (it would be blazing fast) ;D
And you have to get all the drivers and libs from Gingerbread and ICS, and port to Jelly Bean. That would do it, but it requires time.
Anyway, it's good to see the L3 isn't dead. Greetings from Brazil!
Hi, based on former experience I am happy to present 4.4.3 Liscio Fast Forward. Few modifications which were carefully chosen. Feel free to post your feature request here but be aware this will always stay as close as possible to stock.
Please flash this with Gapps of your choice. I used BaNkS (GApps.Core)

Downloads and feature list in the second post; and for screenshots, have a look at the third post.
I can not take any responsibility damaging your device or alarm clock which will not come off. If you decide to flash my ROM, you are getting responsible yourself. Have a functioning Nandroid in case something goes wrong.

Nice, gonna try soon!

Root doesn't seem to be working, went in to superuser and tried flipping it disabled and then back to app and adb with no luck. Flashed the latest SuperSU in the meantime. Otherwise so far so good, and it is probably the fastest/most fluid rom I've tried ART on so far.
LOL, and it put me back to stock recovery... Ahh, not sure if you meant to leave it in there, but stock recovery is in the rom zip.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Interesting about the root and stock recovery. Anybody else having these issues? I had a look and found the same source tree after compilation than in my Hammerhead folder....did you open a Terminal and executed $su to see if the superuser is working? I usually do and found no issues. I will check and see what other users say..
Hi, updated one line in the Android.mk for the Superuser. New version is up and can be downloaded. Hope improves your issues on SU. I have none on my Hammer.....
UPDATE - SU is not working. Just compiling new version. Give me 30 minutes.
How is the battery life on this? Are you using stock kernel?
CaN this be run on dalvik as I'm using xposed modules
Thanks dev, :good:

Stock recovery is still in the zip file, unless I'm totally off base here... But it did put me back to stock recovery again.
And I still get a Sorry test failed, feature cannot run on your device when I try to activate Root access in things like ES File Explorer.

Hi, nevermind on the recovery. You will stay on what you had before. For the root, did you download the latest version? I can compile from scratch in case the modification was not implemented. I am just puzzled since I had 0 problems on my Hammerhead build (and old Mako 4.2.2).

No, in terms of recovery, when I flashed the rom it also flashed stock recovery. So, it got rid of CWM and put me on stock recovery. And yes, I downloaded the latest rom and still had root issues.

Hi, I do not know how to help as I never had recovery problems on my ROMs. I also re-compiled and flashed on my Hammerhead and recovery remained TWRP...hope other users can report something. I also pm'ed you to get more information. I recommend you flash Googles 4.4.2 factory image and then TWRP and my ROM (or any other ROM). Then the baseline should be ok. Head up, it can not be a big issue...

I have had no issues with my recovery being wiped. I am using milti-rom though if that makes a difference.
Great rom by the way. I love the smoothness.
It just feels slightly smoother than other roms when scrolling in google+ and the xda app, and I havent switched to art yet.
Hey sir I've been trying several Roms all of them fast but this one has a slight advantage, I am liking it very much, will you add any more features that won't sacrifice the speed, is cm theming possible on aosp?
---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------
Oh I failed to mention there is one issue that I'm having, my GPS won't locate locations, so navigation is not working, but has always worked on other Roms, anyone else experiencing this? Is it possible to include LTE to permanently stay and is it possible to change the 4g icon to LTE

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. First of all, does the embedded superuser work?
I will look into the location problem......
Update: Checked location on my Hammerhead and works. Since we use the same source tree, I suppose should work on Mako too. If really not, I need to change the vendor files.
I think it may not be working because I can't use root access on file manager, as far as GPS, it worked when I was outside so it may not be an issue but it normally works when I'm inside as well

What I did was, launch google play store app through google assistant, then type in fluid navigation gestures and install. Then turn on navigation within the app. Or simply go to magisk app and uninstall under modules, reboot, and once you have the fluid navigation gestures set up try again. It shouldn't break anything else. Fingerprint works and same for safetynet. I am on stock rom and kernel with magisk.

Thank You very much for the Reply!
The Fluid Navigation workaround is needed since any ROM breaks since Pie when i add content to the System. Especially when i add Folders to priv-app. Same happens with the Systemless way i use right now. I think it has something to do with the Permission handling of Pie Systems but i found nothing in the Web yet...
I'm really looking forward to push the App within the Patch, with the Option to keep the default Navigation Bar while installing (Volume Key Selector Method). For now do we have to do it like You said. The easiest way will be to setup Fluid Navigation Gestures before installing the Module. Only Important will be that You don't use the Navbar Hide from within the App (Causes missing space on the bottom of the Display). I also talked to the App Creator to make the Setup more easy, think it will just be a matter of time till we can use it without additional (user) efforts...
There is a lot to come with the next Versions. Hope You will like it

I wouldn't call it "Mod", but no. You can use the default Navigation bar by changing qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on the System Prop from the Patch, or You can wait for the Update which contains Options for that. I'm currently working on AROMA to include also Busybox and Magisk to deliver the full ROM/Patch Package. AROMA will also allow Me to give Users more choices about what will be flashed. It's everything just in a early phase.

OK, cool
The info post is a little bit misleading is this only for pixel devices? Or for any device bit Snapdragon 835+ if yes can I use it with my Xiaomi mi 8 (Snapdragon 845)?

It's made for Android close to AOSP Pie. Miui could cause conflicts with the given Configs (Audio, Camera or even Bootloops). Snapdragon 835 should be the minimum based on the given Quality Settings. Older SoCs may face missing Audio, lags or other Problems. That how i keep it since the Nexus 6. Every new SoC and Android Version needs new Configs which may not work on older Ones. Hope that explains it better

lol wuuut I was just searching for an alternative to the great Instagram Rocket on iOS. Sadly doesn't seem to exist I really hate the original one.
Just rooted my P4 XL - What "bloat" to remove and what new stuff to install?
Hello everyone,
I have been rocking my Nexus 6P for quite some time now but I am running out of space and it was time to get a 3rd battery replacement.
So I decided to get the Pixel 4 XL Clear White with 128GB. Ordered at christmas, received yesterday, rooted today
Usually I would always go with DirtyUnicorn ROM + Kernel but that one hasn't been released yet for the Pixel 4 XL and I am not sure if it is even worth it at this point.
So what I am trying to do is to stay with OEM ROM + Kernel + Root and see if that gets me satisfied.
How ever, DirtyUnicorns bringt optimiations and lets me have the option to install Android at its relatively bare minimum to only add and install what I need and want.
This means I need to:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
I am trying to make a list for all three categories and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
- Android Accessibility Suite
- Android Auto (?)
- Calculator
- Chrome (I use Chrome Beta)
- Compass
- Data Transfer Tool
- Digital Wellbeing
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- Google News
- Google One
- Google Play Movies & TV
- Google Play Services for AR
- Google Podcassts
- Google Support Services
- Keep Notes
- Photos
- Pixel Launcher
- Pixel Live Wallpaper
- Pixel Tips
- Playground
- Sound Amplifier
- Youtube Music
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
- So far I am not sure if there is anything that really needs to be optimized.
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
- Adaway
- OverrideDNS seems obsolete since Android 10 lets me set my own DNS for all connections
- Bluebox Trust Manager (to remove ****ty certificates)
- Viper4Android
- Display color calibration (is that even possible with Ambient Display Color?)
I used to root my device for roms and kernels before, but with Pixels I prefer stay on stock.
It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster
- Some magisk modules like gms optimization for play services
- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth
Other tweaks:
- Adaway
- Product sans font everywhere (sound silly but I can't go back to roboto after using this)
- Viper4android
- Immersive navbar (hide black navigation bar and make gesture's pill above the content)
- youtube vanced
- gpay sqlite fix
That's it. Small little tweaks here and there and nothing else.

- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth
Other tweaks:
- Adaway
- Product sans font everywhere (sound silly but I can't go back to roboto after using this)
- Viper4android
- Immersive navbar (hide black navigation bar and make gesture's pill above the content)
- youtube vanced
- gpay sqlite fix
That's it. Small little tweaks here and there and nothing else.

That is pretty much also my plan. Do you get OTA notifications? If yes, that means I do the OTA update whenever I get notified, re-root and re-apply the custom kernel.
Offtopic: Trento is awesome. I visited it last summer

Like @TENN3R stated, there's not a lot you really need to do to improve the stock performance of the P4XL. I too use the kirisakura kernel and his magisk modules mods which gives great battery performance and stability. I also use @Tulsadiver mods for center clock and nav bar swap.
You may get the OTA notification, however you have to do a few things to get it to download and install. You'll see a couple of guides in the forum threads. Personally, I like updating the monthly releases via fastboot. Hope you enjoy your new device :good:

Yes, you get notified about updates, but when you download them the installation fails because of root (doens't even start the installation).
There are some tutorials on how to update when you're rooted, here are two ways:
- By OTA
- By fastboot, which is also the one I always go for, I heard some people have minor problems with ota sometimes, and this always worked for me since my Pixel 1.
If you choose the fastboot one, after the installation simply patch the new boot.img with magisk, flash it, reboot and if you want a custom kernel reflash it

Awesome, is there a list of "stock apps" that you removed? I recall from DirtyUnicorns that you cannot remove all stock apps. E.g. removing the "calculator" might break some stuff on Android 8 even when installing a calculator from the play store.

I actually haven't removed any of them, I simply freeze what I don't use with TiBu. Unfortunately, with the advent of A10, our system files are now read only. Which means that you can no longer remove apk's via root explorer type apps or TiBu like we did a while back. There are a few custom roms out there that apparently have debloated some things, however I haven't felt the need to try them like I once did since my device runs perfectly fine with a few mods here and there :good:

Freezing sounds also fine too me. Which ones did you freeze?
@Utini
If i understand you wrong sry but when i see your lists in the OP it seems to me that you nearly want everything away from Gapps and Google Play Services.
For @TENN3R the stock rom is already clean but for me a clean system means pure AOSP so no Gapps at all. I don't how much you rely on Play Services and Gapps but why don't try a pure aosp rom as phhussons quack vanilla version?
Sry when this is Off Topic.

I used to root my device for roms and kernels before, but with Pixels I prefer stay on stock.
It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster

Where are you finding Product Sans In the Fontio Substratum app?
I like to stay on the stock launcher myself, and actually don't even limit data and restrict battery for apps anymore (used to for most things). 10 seems to be pretty on point with not letting apps drain your battery. I haven't noticed much difference from restricting apps versus not.
Anyway, root apps I use:
SD Maid for cleaning system/app cache
DarQ - Lets you use the force dark mode feature from dev options, but on a per app basis. I can't live without this one.
Pixel Launcher Mods (the app) - Lets you change icons using packs found on play. Also has a few other tweaks like system tuner.
Swift Backup
Viper4Android. Also can't live without this.
Kirisakura kernel
Rosemary font - @Tulsadiver has been kind enough to make some font magisk modules
Terminal
EX Kernel Manager

Is it possible do you think to open the ota. Take the boot.img out. Install magisk like you would when rooting and change the name back to boot.img. reinstall it in the ota and install the ota normally?

If you've downloaded and extracted an OTA, you won't find a "boot.img" You'll see what's called power.bin, which I assume contains the boot.img, however, there is no image to extract. You'll need to pull the boot.img from the factory image.zip
Personally, I only update via fastboot with factory images. For me, it's the easiest, most reliable way to update. After 4+ years of doing it that way, this ol dog ain't a changing :good:

This is a Magisk module that ports Pixel theme and some Pixel features to Android 10 (it was based on Pixel 4 and it's compatible with all AOSP 10, and close to it, ROMs).
Includes:
Pixel Theme Overlay
Styles & wallpapers <- Added new icon packs: Sam, Victor and Kai (Taken from Pixel 5 Android 11 ROM and adapted to work on stock Android 10)
Google Wallpapers (2019; 2020 & 2020a) -> credits to @Pranav Pandey for his work with Google Pixel/2/3/4/a/5 Live Wallpapers
Markup Google
Settings shortcuts for all Pixel goodies
Google Settings Intelligence
Lawnchair Launcher or Pixel Launcher (LL or PL)
Device Personalization Services
Sound Picker
Sound Amplifier
Live Caption <- New feature
Now Playing <- New feature (unfortunately it doesn't work)
Bonus features:
Lawnchair Launcher or Pixel Launcher as default recents provider
Bottom corners perfectly rounded (no more "pixelized stuff" down there...check how they are now before applying the theme...you'll see that ugliness)
Disabled rounded corners on floating windows (which makes all windows transitions 100x times faster)
Complete immersive gesture navigation with no Pill and reduced bar bellow keyboard (now we don't need Fullscreen Immersive gestures mod anymore)
Removed "WiFi with numbers" icons in order to be able to apply other icon themes without losing consistency
Google Sans applied system wide
Several extra fonts <- Added more fonts on latest version
More accent colors
8 more dark styles besides the default black (which can be managed by Rom Control App that's included on MiA3 Mods Magisk Module)
5 QS Headers styles: Grey; Light grey; Accent colored; "Follow dark mode"; and Transparent (again....use Rom Control App)
New themed boot animation (It's google boot animations but with Android One fading on the beginning)
Downloads:
Typhus_V10_Pixel_LL_for_Android10.zip <- Version with Lawnchair as default recents provider
Typhus_V10_Pixel_PL_for_Android10.zip <- Version with Pixel Launcher as default recents provider
Typhus_auto_dark_mode_and_styles.zip <- Extract the mdr file inside this zip and import it to MacroDroid App. (You need this only for the bootanimation to work. As for the rest (qs headers; dark themes), just use Rom Control...).
Check the video for more details (this video is from the old version....but you can get the overall idea):
-- NOTES --
(These are important, so please read them carefully):
1 - As stated, the default dark version is "Black". If you want to change to other dark version all you need to to is to enable the overlay that you want. To do that you'll need a terminal emulator and run a command like this example for Dark gray (this only needs to be run one time after installing the module): (forget this...use Rom Control...)
To enable the Dark Gray version:
Code:
su
Code:
cmd overlay enable com.android.dark.darkgray && cmd overlay enable com.android.dark.darkgrayExt && killall com.android.systemui
To disable the Dark Gray version:
Code:
su
Code:
cmd overlay disable com.android.dark.darkgray && cmd overlay disable com.android.dark.darkgrayExt && killall com.android.systemui
DO NOT ENABLE ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! If you want to test them, you must first enable one, then check it, disable it and enable the other one.Every time you disable it, it will revert back to the default, which is Black.
2 - If you want, you can use MacroDroid App to help you enabling and or disabling these overlays. (nope...bla bla bla...Rom Control...)
For that, you only need to install the app and, afterwards, you just need to import the macro file I've shared here. You just need to access the macro you want, touch the script action and choose "test action". See the screenshots I've shared HERE for more info.
3 - If you already have Pixel or Lawnchair Launcher(s) installed on your device, please, uninstall them before you install the theme.
4 - If you have Quickswitch installed on your device, please, uninstall it before you install this theme version. You may install it after applying the theme but I don't think you'll need it.
5 - Do not update Google Wallpapers nor Device Personalization Services apps. You shouldn't also install any other version, of these apps, you may find on the Internet. Stick to the versions included in the theme, period!
6 - On the other hand, you should update Sound Picker app since some users reported it failed if not updated.
7- All other apps included on the theme, can be updated without any issues but it's not mandatory.
8 - If you want to use Pixel Launcher version, in order to use all cool features, as they're supposed to work, set your phone language to English US. It's possible to use your phone on another language BUT to avoid issues, please disable the suggestions options on Pixel Launcher settings or just disable Gesture navigation.
9 - Don't forget to give all permissions to all apps included on the theme (Pixel Launcher, Sound Picker, Pixel Live Wallpaper Picker, Device Personalization Services, etc.)
10 - Pixel launcher version has everything working but it's not fully compatible with 3rd party launchers when using gesture navigation. The gestures work but you're not able to use the swipe on the navbar to change between apps nor the Clear all button.
11 - On the other hand, Lawnchair version has that feature, but it does not allow you to do searches on the recents screen. Meaning, Lawnchair version does not "talk" with Device personalization Services.
12 - Regarding the themed boot animation, I recommend you to create a backup of your current bootanimation.zip file (just rename it to bootanimation_BKP.zip or something like that, the original file is on /system/media/), before using the "Auto Dark Based On Daylight" macro. If you don't do that, you will lose it!
Cheers and enjoy!

The first ones are so freakin' beautiful. If it wasn't for the buggy A10, I'd be flashing A10 stock immediately and use this theme.
Also, could you possibly add a Network Indicator somehow on stock?
I really like that feature.
Thank you, preliminary!
I'm on stock A10 and I don't face any bugs that makes me want to change ROM to be honest.
As for the network indicators...I don't how to implement that....but I can try to look for it.
And by the way, the last one (Google Grey) is awesome as well since it matches all Google apps dark theme style. It fits perfectly with all Google apps. For instance, I don't quite enjoy being on settings and then access Google settings and see the background color change, that's why I've created this version.
Cheers!
OP has been updated with a new version that fixes all bugs regarding lock screen security and, now, the module is a 3 in 1.
Cheers!

Oh right....forgot to talk about that (gonna add this into the OP....).
After downloading the zip you must extract it then you just have to import the Typhus_Pixel.mdr file into Macrodroid.

Yes, I've shared 2 zips on the OP...one is the module ("Typhus_Pixel_for_Android10.zip" to be installed on Magisk) and the other one ("Typhus_Pixel_macro.zip") is a zip file that has to be extracted in order to get the mdr file.
That mdr file must be saved somewhere on your device (internal memory or SD Card).
To import it you only have to open Macrodroid app an touch on the "Export/Import" icon. Then touch the "Storage" button on the "Import" section and choose the mdr file I've shared.
Done.
Module zip link on OP has been updated.
The Module had a bug when opening the volume dialog settings shortcut (on Black and Dark Grey overlays).
Now it's a new version.
If you had already download it, please download and install it again (just the module...the macro isn't needed).
Cheers!

Try to see if your location is correct on Macrodroid since the sunset/sunrise trigger needs it to be accurate. Probably if you set your current location again, it will be fixed (try to test the trigger action).
Also, disable battery optimization for the Macrodroid app (on System settings).

I did all of them. My location is right. I deleted and I imported again the mdr file. Nothing. Whenever I test the actions all work right. But I was excepting the auto mode....
Strange...It's working fine here
Please check if Macrodroid has root permissions (check on Magisk).
You're sure the sunset time has already arrived in your country right?
Maybe you need to recreate the macro from the beginning, or leave it activated and wait for sunrise. If it changes back to white theme, then it's ready.

There's nothing to be scared about. The module is working on stock Android 10 ROM.
If you face any issues after flashing the module all you need to do is to boot into TWRP and flash the module zip again.
Since this module is an edited version of Pix3lify module, it follows Pix3lify install/uninstall logic. This means that if the module is already installed, if you flash it again (through Magisk or TWRP) it will uninstall it.
I've run all possible tests, before sharing this module, by running it being completely on stock Android 10 ROM and firmware.
For anyone who may have faced any issues I recommend you, if you want to use this module of course, to completely hard reset your device by flashing stock Android 9 ROM through fastboot or using Mi Flash tool. DO NOT re-lock de bootloader!
After being completely on stock Android 9, flash the 11.0.14 OTA zip using TWRP or wait for the Android 10 full OTA. The OTA zip can also be found HERE.
This was what I've done in order to be on stock Android 10 without any issues. Probably you will need to do it as well, if you're facing issues.
I know there's a fastboot version of Android 10 ROM out here on XDA but, and I mean no disrespect for the ones who made/share it, but since it's not official there could be something wrong with it (or missing), that's why I recommend to use either OTA or OTA zip through TWRP.
Cheers!
