I'm not a dev so plz understand my clumsyness
It seems all of xposed modules run at the same time now.
This make the messy result sometimes when using the modules which hooks same things.
For example, I'm changing the size and format of clock on the statusbar with module A and I'm using module B also to theme my rom and this contains the function changing the size of clock on the statusbar also.
As you see, it seems that A and B have same function. But their way to make it in technical are not same.
This makes the size of clock every boot different, and users and devs can't set the module which hooks something LAST.
I asked @rovo89 before about the 'priority' of modules before and he answered xposed framework doesn't.
But I recognized my question was wrong recently.
I had to ask the 'batch' of modules
I think making a batch could solve the concurrent hooks
Possible?
It sounds like you want to be able to specify the order in which modules get loaded. Though your use of the word ``batch'' makes no sense to me, please elaborate.
WARNING: This might seem like a really noob question. It probably is.
The other day, when I was optimizing a chinese phone (it's system was the messiest thing I've ever seen), I ran into an issue.
For the sake of example, imagine you have a module that lets you choose your statusbar color and a module with loads of useful features but alas, one of them is coloring the statusbar red (can't be disabled except by disabling the module).
I'm guessing there's some sort of thing as module priority, be it load/hook order or something else (I'm not a module developer). Is there any way (modding apks of the modules?) I can adjust these priorities myself?
And to provoke module developers, is it possible for a module to achieve this?

Rovo has said that there is no way to prioritize one module over another...
The way to deal with that is to ask module developers to put in switches to turn off portions of the module...

This is exactly my example to explain why module priorities are not needed. The problem is that what you mentioned last - the module isn't flexible enough to let you disable its features seperately. The solution would be to ask the module developer to implement such a setting, where the module wouldn't touch the statusbar color at all (not even setting it to the assume standard black). There are different ways to change the statusbar color, and only in some cases, the module which is executed last will win. If the modules use different ways to change it, there's a good chance that one of them will win no matter whether it can do its changes first or last.
I remember only one use-case where higher priority is the only way to achieve the goal, and that was a module hooking other modules/Xposed itself. Apart from that, I have only heard about cases like you described, where priority handling is only a workaround that works only sometimes. I don't want to encourage such behavior by offering a feature that only experts would understand.

At the moment, I am using something like this...
afterHookedMethod
if (isEnabled) changeSomething()
Is this scheme OK?
or should I hook something only if it is enabled:
if (isEnabled) findAndHookMethod...
?

Download latest module version from HERE! Further updates can be done using Magisk Manager.
Spoiler: Click to know more.
For more info about updates, please read THIS POST.
Addon_Features_for_Pixel_More_Live_Wallpapers.zip
Spoiler: Optional module. Click to read more.
This is an optional module. I've decided to remove everything regarding wallpapers from Addon features main module and create this one.I thought that it wouldn't make much sense to have a single module with almost 500 MB. So, this new optional module adds Pixel 6 static and live Wallpapers (obviously redundant for Pixel 6 users...) but, as well, it adds other Live Wallpapers that aren't normally available for download on Wallpaper & Style app (old stuff like doodle, conveyer belt, etc. from older pixels).
Notes:
Spoiler: Please read them at least once. THEY'RE IMPORTANT!!
Since V17 the installer mod detects if your device runs into a boot loop after flashing it. If it does, and this will happen on any device not running stock Android 12 Pixel ROM, it will force a new reboot and will try to boot your device running a mod "Lite" version. The "Lite" version is nothing more than a mod version where the only features available are the ones above the red line text.
If you want those "exclusive features", the ones after the red line text, working on your current ROM you will have to port them yourself. I explain how to later on this post.
Those "exclusive features" are based on xml and smali changes made on stock SystemUI and framework-res. Without these changes the, "exclusive features" won't work.
Since this module replaces stock SystemUI and framework-res for modded ones, you could run into problems if some other module tries to do the same or it's simply incompatible with it. If you want to try any other mod that changes SystemUI, or framework-res, there's an option on ROM Control that allows you to disable those "exclusive features". After disabling them, your Pixel device will reboot with a "Lite" version as well.
Make sure that you're able to run adb shell as root before flashing this module and reboot your device. Just in case something went really wrong and you need to remove the module manually.
If your device really refuses to boot, after flashing this mod, connect your phone to your PC during boot and run this:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/system/framework/ && rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/system/system_ext/ && reboot
This will only remove framework and systemui "modded" files. Without them, you're device will boot and the other features, that don't require modding, will work just fine.In fact, if you remove these files from the module zip before flashing, you can flash that modified zip on any device running any AOSP, or close to it, ROM.In case you want to completely remove the mod, you can just run this:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/ && reboot
If you forgot to enable the ability to run adb shell as root, and if your device fails to boot, you can fix that by removing all Magisk modules you have installed. That can be achieved by running the following commands even without root shell during boot:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
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).
When a new OTA update comes it's possible that the MOD will force boot with Lite version. Why? Because Google may change things on stock SystemUI and/or framework-res between builds. When that happens, I have to recreate the module again to adapt those changes. Rest assured that I'll always test the module with new builds and update as necessary.
In case your device gets caught in a boot loop, 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:
Code:
adb logcat > log.txt
After grabbing the log, please open the txt file and search for "FATAL". Afterwards post here the lines where the "Fatal error occurred".
I've made these modules for my personal use and just decided to share with all XDA community. Having this in mind, there's no need for donations (although I won't refuse them if you want to buy me a beer). As for requests or whatever, I can only add more stuff when, and if, I have time for it. I'm a really busy man in real life so I can't promise anything nor ETAs.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Magisk Root | Magisk Manager
Stock December 2021 Android 12 Pixel ROM build, or later until February 2022 for "FULL" version compatibility
Any AOSP, or close to it, Android 12+ ROM on any device for "LITE" version only (not fully tested...some devices/ROMs may not work)
Suggestion:
Uninstall all other modules you may have installed before installing this. They could be incompatible with the module thus making the device get caught in a boot loop. 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, I recommend you to flash latest stock build through fastboot using flash_all.bat. In order to retain your data, remove the "-w" flag from the update command on flash-all script.
How to install?
Flash "Addon Features" module
Reboot device
If your device/ROM is fully compatible, everything will be ok at first boot
If not, your device will auto-reboot after first failed boot attempt and boot again with the Lite version only
Have fun!
How to update?
Open Magisk Manager app
Press the update button on"Addon Features" module
Reboot device
Have fun!

You may check what to expect from this module HERE.
Note that this video was recorded when I've made this for Android 11. Some features may not be present for Android 12 and others can be that didn't exist for Android 11. The video is here only for those, who have never tried this on Android 11, may understand what to expect.
How's these "exclusive features" even possible?
Spoiler: Click here if you're interested on learning how this works
All "exclusive" features that you see on the list above were reverse engineered from Proton AOSP and Evolution X ROM source code. The source code is available on the links 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 PAOSP and 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.

Well, today I've received some good news. An user reported that the mod is working without the need to flash a different "SystemUI" module just for Pixel 5 devices.
On Android 11 there was a problem where I could not add the Network Traffic indicators feature showing on status bar. They could only work if set to be on QS header. On Android 12 that happened again on Pixel 6 models. So I thought that Pixel 5 devices required that too.
Fortunately, it isn't and that's just cool.
I've attached some screens here so you may check that for yourselves. I'm going to remove the "Pixel_5_SystemUI" link on the OP since it's no longer required.
Cheers!
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 5 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Android 11 Icon Styles and Icon Shapes overlays
Added ProtonAOSP Fonts overlays
Option to enable/disable Wifi and Data separate Tiles, instead of Internet Tile
Reduced screenshot overlay PIP time after taking a screenshot
Added more themed icons
Updated Rom Control app
Hope you may enjoy this.
Heads up:
The icons and fonts overlays gets disabled after a reboot or a SystemUI restart. Don't know why. So, after a reboot you'll have to change those options again.
The icon shapes, sometimes, require us to disable theme icons and enable it again after choosing our desired shape. Don't know why as well...
Yeah, this kind'a sucks... but, if I find a solution, I'll fix it on next version.
Cheers!
Thanks!
So i installed this on my Pixel 4a5g and all went smoth. Everything worked with out issue.
Now i did not uninstall any magisk mods or anything like that which I am aware was in the OP to do, but everything went smotthly.
However when i checked safetynet it failed. So I uninstalled the modules and restarted the phone only to still fail safetynet..
I had safetynet fix 2.1.2 installed. But when i looked after uninstalling this mod, i noticed that safetynet was missing from my active mods list. I re installed it and restarted the phone and was passing saeftynet again.
Not saying this mod removed it. I may have accidently.
My question......
Could this mod inadvertenly remove safetynet fix on install?

No, this module does not touch any other module so it's impossible for them to remove the safetynet modue.
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 6 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Album art on lock screen options
Added Music visualizer options (requires Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip)
Force Google Sans system-wide is now optional
Enable/disable combined signal icons on status bar
Added center clock fix to the right (for Pixel 3a models)
Updated Rom Control app
Heads up:
I still wasn't able to understand what causes the fonts, icons and icon shapes overlays get reset upon reboot or SystemUI restart
Install Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip first. Afterwards, reboot and wait for about 1 minute before doing anything else. Really, I'm not joking, install, reboot and just wait. Afterwards you may install the other 2 modules and reboot
The visualizer fix is deleted from the system after doing what it has to do. So it's normal that you won't see it as installed after finishing all this. That fix is only there to add a missing permission to SystemUI. It only has to be installed once (obviously if on the future you clean flash the ROM, you'll have to do it again)
Anyway, hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 7 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?

Added 2 more battery styles (Big circle and Big dotted circle)
Added option to enable/disable dual tone battery meter (it only works on icon portrait mode)
Added option to enable/disable showing the number of unread messages on status bar notifications

Enable Game Overlay for all Pixels by default (although, if something goes wrong while playing games, you can disable this feature)
Added 8 new fonts overlays
Fix lag on camera if navbar his completely hidden
Added option to enable/disable left shortcut on Lock screen
Added option to enable/disable camera shortcut on Lock screen
Force Google Sans system-wide is still optional but it's enabled by default (I like it that way, so yeah...bummer. You'll still be able to disable it, so no problem whatsoever)
Removed battery percentage option on system settings (since we can now change it on ROM Control app, it didn't make much sense to leave it there. Besides, it wasn't doing anything...)
Updated Rom Control app
Hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!

Hello!
SystemUI V11 module is compatible with January build, I'm already using it. Addon features is as well, but that one never gets affected when a new build comes out...
Although I noticed some changes on some java files, fact is, it's compatible.
Either way, I'll have to recheck stuff (in case I notice that something gets broken while using it).
Now I just have to wait to see if January build for Pixel 6 devices brings new stuff, or not.
Cheers!
Do I have to flash the "visualizer fix" after flashing a factory image (the one when you remove the -w, not deleting all data)? And if I don't use the cover art lock screen option, do I have to flash the "visualizer fix" anyhow?

Addon_Features_for_Pixel_More_Live_Wallpapers.zip
Spoiler: Optional module. Click to read more.
This is an optional module. I've decided to remove everything regarding wallpapers from Addon features main module and create this one.I thought that it wouldn't make much sense to have a single module with almost 500 MB. So, this new optional module adds Pixel 6 static and live Wallpapers (obviously redundant for Pixel 6 users...) but, as well, it adds other Live Wallpapers that aren't normally available for download on Wallpaper & Style app (old stuff like doodle, conveyer belt, etc. from older pixels).
Notes:
Spoiler: Please read them at least once. THEY'RE IMPORTANT!!
Since V17 the installer mod detects if your device runs into a boot loop after flashing it. If it does, and this will happen on any device not running stock Android 12 Pixel ROM, it will force a new reboot and will try to boot your device running a mod "Lite" version. The "Lite" version is nothing more than a mod version where the only features available are the ones above the red line text.
If you want those "exclusive features", the ones after the red line text, working on your current ROM you will have to port them yourself. I explain how to later on this post.
Those "exclusive features" are based on xml and smali changes made on stock SystemUI and framework-res. Without these changes the, "exclusive features" won't work.
Since this module replaces stock SystemUI and framework-res for modded ones, you could run into problems if some other module tries to do the same or it's simply incompatible with it. If you want to try any other mod that changes SystemUI, or framework-res, there's an option on ROM Control that allows you to disable those "exclusive features". After disabling them, your Pixel device will reboot with a "Lite" version as well.
Make sure that you're able to run adb shell as root before flashing this module and reboot your device. Just in case something went really wrong and you need to remove the module manually.
If your device really refuses to boot, after flashing this mod, connect your phone to your PC during boot and run this:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/system/framework/ && rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/system/system_ext/ && reboot
This will only remove framework and systemui "modded" files. Without them, you're device will boot and the other features, that don't require modding, will work just fine.In fact, if you remove these files from the module zip before flashing, you can flash that modified zip on any device running any AOSP, or close to it, ROM.In case you want to completely remove the mod, you can just run this:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
rm -rf /data/adb/modules/AddonFeaturesForPixel/ && reboot
If you forgot to enable the ability to run adb shell as root, and if your device fails to boot, you can fix that by removing all Magisk modules you have installed. That can be achieved by running the following commands even without root shell during boot:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
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).
When a new OTA update comes it's possible that the MOD will force boot with Lite version. Why? Because Google may change things on stock SystemUI and/or framework-res between builds. When that happens, I have to recreate the module again to adapt those changes. Rest assured that I'll always test the module with new builds and update as necessary.
In case your device gets caught in a boot loop, 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:
Code:
adb logcat > log.txt
After grabbing the log, please open the txt file and search for "FATAL". Afterwards post here the lines where the "Fatal error occurred".
I've made these modules for my personal use and just decided to share with all XDA community. Having this in mind, there's no need for donations (although I won't refuse them if you want to buy me a beer). As for requests or whatever, I can only add more stuff when, and if, I have time for it. I'm a really busy man in real life so I can't promise anything nor ETAs.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Magisk Root | Magisk Manager
Stock December 2021 Android 12 Pixel ROM build, or later until February 2022 for "FULL" version compatibility
Any AOSP, or close to it, Android 12+ ROM on any device for "LITE" version only (not fully tested...some devices/ROMs may not work)
Suggestion:
Uninstall all other modules you may have installed before installing this. They could be incompatible with the module thus making the device get caught in a boot loop. 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, I recommend you to flash latest stock build through fastboot using flash_all.bat. In order to retain your data, remove the "-w" flag from the update command on flash-all script.
How to install?
Flash "Addon Features" module
Reboot device
If your device/ROM is fully compatible, everything will be ok at first boot
If not, your device will auto-reboot after first failed boot attempt and boot again with the Lite version only
Have fun!
How to update?
Open Magisk Manager app
Press the update button on"Addon Features" module
Reboot device
Have fun!

Note that this video was recorded when I've made this for Android 11. Some features may not be present for Android 12 and others can be that didn't exist for Android 11. The video is here only for those, who have never tried this on Android 11, may understand what to expect.
How's these "exclusive features" even possible?
Spoiler: Click here if you're interested on learning how this works
All "exclusive" features that you see on the list above were reverse engineered from Proton AOSP and Evolution X ROM source code. The source code is available on the links 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 PAOSP and 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.

No.
Well, today I've received some good news. An user reported that the mod is working without the need to flash a different "SystemUI module" just for Pixel 5 devices.
On Android 11 there was a problem where I could not add the Network Traffic indicators feature showing on status bar. They could only work if set to be on QS header. On Android 12 that happened again on Pixel 6 models. So I thought that Pixel 5 devices required that too.
On Pixel 5a a different "SystemUI module" isn't needed. Can anyone confirm that on Pixel 5 it isn't needed as well, so I may remove the "Pixel_5_SystemUI" link on the OP?
I've attached some screens here so you may check, for yourselves, that this is working on a Pixel 5a.
Cheers!

Err..thank you but unfortunately that log is inconclusive.
I need a log taken upon the (possible) bootloop that you'll (probably will) face after flashing the "normal" SystemUI module.
You can send me the full log, no problem.
Ok, so unfortunately Pixel 5 really requires a different SystemUI module just like it happened on Android 11.
Link for the "normal" SystemUI has been removed from the OP since it won't work.

Sorry, missed that.
It will just add a wifi on/off toggle in qs panel.
But let's just say that @Typhus_ got us all covered !
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 5 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Android 11 Icon Styles and Icon Shapes overlays
Added ProtonAOSP Fonts overlays
Option to enable/disable Wifi and Data separate Tiles, instead of Internet Tile
Reduced screenshot overlay PIP time after taking a screenshot
Added more themed icons
Updated Rom Control app
Hope you may enjoy this.
Heads up:
The icons and fonts overlays gets disabled after a reboot or a SystemUI restart. Don't know why. So, after a reboot you'll have to change those options again.
The icon shapes, sometimes, require us to disable theme icons and enable it again after choosing our desired shape. Don't know why as well...
Yeah, this kind'a sucks... but, if I find a solution, I'll fix it on next version.
Cheers!

hope you get the fixes for those issues bro.
and one question, so this mods will not work with full gestures on Pixel 5 GSI. it's fine with 2&3 buttons navbar, but goes into black screen when switch to full gestures.
any idea why?
anyway, thanks for your great work... it's awesome
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 6 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Album art on lock screen options
Added Music visualizer options (requires Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip)
Force Google Sans system-wide is now optional
Enable/disable combined signal icons on status bar
Added center clock fix to the right (for Pixel 3a models)
Updated Rom Control app
Heads up:
I still wasn't able to understand what causes the fonts, icons and icon shapes overlays get reset upon reboot or SystemUI restart
Install Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip first. Afterwards, reboot and wait for about 1 minute before doing anything else. Really, I'm not joking, install, reboot and just wait. Afterwards you may install the other 2 modules and reboot
The visualizer fix is deleted from the system after doing what it has to do. So it's normal that you won't see it as installed after finishing all this. That fix is only there to add a missing permission to SystemUI. It only has to be installed once (obviously if on the future you clean flash the ROM, you'll have to do it again)
Anyway, hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!

What is this?
This is a Magisk module that adds the following cool custom features to any Pixel device (from 3a to 6 Pro) running stock Android 12 Pixel ROM:
Enable/Disable Google Sans font system wide
Adds Icon Styles and Icon Shapes overlays from Android 11
Fonts options
Enable/Disable Combined signal icons

Adds 2 button mode navigation (it was removed on Android 11 but I think some users like that navigation mode, so I add it)
Adaptive sound options
Enable Voice access for all Pixel devices
Navigation bar options (reduce keyboard bottom space size, completely remove NavBar, invert layout*, set back gesture height*)
Enable/Disable SystemUI Tuner
Enable Game Overlay for all Pixels by default (although, if something goes wrong while playing games, you can disable this feature)
Enable/Disable dual tone battery meter (it only works on icon portrait mode)
Enable/Disable showing the number of unread messages on status bar notifications
Reduce Status bar height (and option to correct left padding on devices with the notch on the left)
Enable/Disable more themed icons on launcher (some apps don't have a themed icon so it won't work for all apps)
Enable/Disable left shortcut on Lock screen
Enable/Disable camera shortcut on Lock screen
Enable/Disable gradient effect on QS Tiles and Brightness slider
Hide gestures navbar pill (using transparency)
Colorize gestures navbar pill with dynamic accent color

Enable/Disable option to reduce QS Tiles text size (works better on some QS Tiles themes)
Option to install Tap Tap (a great app for devices without Quick Tap and even for the ones that have it)
These next features, also included in the MOD, indicates that framework-res and/or SystemUI were modded. This means that these next features will only work on devices running stock Android 12 Pixel ROM. I'll talk more about this later.
Enable/Disable Wifi + Cell QS Tiles instead of single Internet QS Tile
Battery Styles
Clock Customization
Network Traffic Indicators
QS Battery percentage independent options (show estimate time remaining or just percentage)

Thanks for this! I got the black screen on installing SystemUI, but since Magisk Hide is removed from Canary, I'm reluctant to install that now. On stable v23.
But, my only reason for wanting the SystemUI-module is to get album art back on lock screen, but it doesn't seem that that's included on the A12 variant for now. At least it's not a mentioned feature. Will it be included in the future?

I'm trying to implement that feature. For the time being is still unavailable. But, yes, that's a feature that I too really want.
Cheers!
After uninstalling all other magisk modules besides the "safe" module, I've tried installing the SystemUI module with no luck. My phone bootloops, and I boot into SafeMode to uninstall Magisk. Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Disable gestures navigation and flash the SystemUI module. If it works it means that you're facing the TensorFlow lib issue that I've talked about on the OP.
If that works, which most likely will, to fix it permanently you'll need to reflash stock ROM.
Cheers!
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 5 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Android 11 Icon Styles and Icon Shapes overlays
Added ProtonAOSP Fonts overlays
Option to enable/disable Wifi and Data separate Tiles, instead of Internet Tile
Reduced screenshot overlay PIP time after taking a screenshot
Added more themed icons
Updated Rom Control app
Hope you may enjoy this.
Heads up:
The icons and fonts overlays gets disabled after a reboot or a SystemUI restart. Don't know why. So, after a reboot you'll have to change those options again.
The icon shapes, sometimes, require us to disable theme icons and enable it again after choosing our desired shape. Don't know why as well...
Yeah, this kind'a sucks... but, if I find a solution, I'll fix it on next version.
Cheers!

Yup, that worked! But as soon as I re-enable gesture navigation, everything breaks and the phone fails to boot instantly (not sure if that's expected?). Do you have a workaround?
Great work with the mod, however!
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 6 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
Added Album art on lock screen options
Added Music visualizer options (requires Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip)
Force Google Sans system-wide is now optional
Enable/disable combined signal icons on status bar
Added center clock fix to the right (for Pixel 3a models)
Updated Rom Control app
Heads up:
I still wasn't able to understand what causes the fonts, icons and icon shapes overlays get reset upon reboot or SystemUI restart
Install Addon_Features_for_Pixel_Visualizer_Fix.zip first. Afterwards, reboot and wait for about 1 minute before doing anything else. Really, I'm not joking, install, reboot and just wait. Afterwards you may install the other 2 modules and reboot
The visualizer fix is deleted from the system after doing what it has to do. So it's normal that you won't see it as installed after finishing all this. That fix is only there to add a missing permission to SystemUI. It only has to be installed once (obviously if on the future you clean flash the ROM, you'll have to do it again)
Anyway, hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!
Thanks! Is the black screen-issue still a thing?

Unfortunately, for some, yes it is.
Even I today faced that bug while performing tests for the next version.
I've fixed it just as I've explained on the OP, so no worries.
Cheers!
My only worry is using Magisk Canary since Magisk Hide is gone... I haven't looked into solutions for that yet.

Use denylist. For what matters it works just the same.

Just reinstalled and followed the first set of instructions again for V6 (which I did for V5 as well), and everything is working flawlessly with navigation gestures. Not sure what changed or helped.
I installed V6 and got no black screen at boot this time. Everything worked! Thanks!
Spoke too soon. Got black screen after an hour. Did everything fresh as in OP and now it works.
Man, that music visualizer is damn cool!! Thanks
Heads up for anyone wondering, the Dec 2021 pixel update does not seem compatible with this version of system_ui (bootloop on pixel 4). Wait for the module to be updated before flashing. If a log file or any other information will help you update the module let me know.
No need for it. I'm already aware of what I've got to do in order to update it.
I'll share as soon as possible.
Cheers!
Hello!
Both modules have been updated to Version 7 and the links are now available on the OP.
What changed?
SystemUI MOD has been updated for December build
Fix fonts, icons and icon shapes overlays get reset upon reboot or SystemUI restart
Light theme QS Header is now optional
Added 2 more battery styles (Big circle and Big dotted circle)
Added option to enable/disable dual tone battery meter (it only works on icon portrait mode)
Added option to enable/disable showing the number of unread messages on status bar notifications
Added option for QS Quick pulldown with one finger (options are off, drag from the top left and drag from the top right)

Added 8 new fonts overlays
Fix lag on camera if navbar his completely hidden
Added option to enable/disable left shortcut on Lock screen

Removed battery percentage option on system settings (since we can now change it on ROM Control app, it didn't make much sense to leave it there. Besides, it wasn't doing anything...)
Updated Rom Control app
Hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!
Link for SystemUI V7 has been updated on the OP.
AOD is now fixed!
