Upload your SystemUI.apk

Hi, this works fantastically. I initially had problems and the phone was crashing. I reinstalled a backup, tried again, still system UI crashed. Then I thought about the system tuner. I reset and saved the configuration and all the crashing stopped. Thanks very much for this @Charles_l, it's pretty cool!

Try reset system tuner settings.

Is there any way the Pixel blue and black color scheme can be ported over to the 6P? Since it has to do with the SystemUI package?

Works perfect on my N6P on DP1, not systemui crashes. Thanks man! Someone needs to roll all the Pixel mods up in one zip to make it easy

Exactly my thoughts. With almost all the Pixel specific features ported over, it'll be nice if one developer can merge all the mods into one zip for easy installation. :good::good::good:

I'm hoping when the final build of 7.1 rolls out someone will then make a zip with AROMA installer for all the ports. No one is probably going to put too much time into it right now since they'd have to port it to DP1, then DP2, then final. But fingers crossed!

[NMF26F] Pixel XL Package | Nexus 6P Upgrade

Hey mates!
Google finally rolled out the final 7.1.1 build for the 2015 Nexus brothers just a short while back. The build number reads NMF26F. So for the ones who want the complete Pixel XL feel on their Google Nexus 6Ps running NMF26F i.e. the latest final build can either wait for the Pixelize app (on another thread) to show an update and fetch it from there, or get it from here.
WHAT'S WORKING?
- Pixel Launcher
- Round Icons (also Settings icon is now round)
- Stock Pixel Blue Theme
- Pixel navigation bar icons
- Live Data Wallpapers
- Pixel Fingerprint Notification Gestures
- Live Earth Wallpapers (with a small workaround)
- AudioFX from CM14.1
WHOA, BUGS?
Live Earth Wallpapers just need a small workaround for functioning normally. Just proceed as follows,
- Head over to /data/
- Look for WallapersBReel.apk and install it (tap -> install)
- After installation completes, all Live Earth Wallpapers except Your world - Solar System works
WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
- Pixel's navigation bar animation
- Night Mode
I'm sure the above two would be ported by Charles_I very soon!
RECOMMENDED
For future updates and in order to stay tuned with the newest progress, kindly install Pixelize app which can be found in another thread! I've linked you up.

Hello kribensis! I'm really sorry for the late response.
The failed download workaround - use Opera VPN. Yeah the back end is blocked out in some countries. Kindly let me know!
Also this thread isn't update since Pixelize is where the whole thing is.
Anyway Pixelize will undergo a major upgrade to be self sufficient and patch up your device to Pixel with every upgrade without me in between and a huge download everytime. Will keep all of you posted.
Thanks kribensis!

[Zip][Flashable][OPP2] -{NOT A FULL PIXEL MOD}- O-DP2 Pixel Launcher

THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED TO DP3. NEW THREAD LOCATED HERE https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/zip-pixel-mod-o-dp3-pixel-launcher-audio-t3619253
This is just a simple zip to bring the Pixel Launcher to the O-Developer Preview 2. This is not a full Pixel Mod. This is the Pixel Launcher from the Pixel XL O-DP2.
This version has the new notification feature (tested on O-DP2. I can't say about 7.x) and it is working. Make sure to grant Pixel Launcher notification access.
While root is unavailable, you an use Gladiac's FED-Patcher to make this mod work. found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/fix-fed-patcher-v8-forceencrypt-disable-t3234422.
To revert back to stock just flash the system.img in TWRP. If you want the stock boot.img you can flash that in TWRP too.
As always, make a backup before flashing anything and doing this stuff voids your warranty and what not

Great work! BTW, magisk v13 snapshot is working on O dp2!
One quick question though: are you planning on porting other pixel features too? I really would like the tinted navbar back. And night light if possible.

I do plan on porting other features over. I'm sure other people will be able to get it done quicker than I will though. To my knowledge, these ports are still unavailable as they require decompiling apk's which is unsupported for the Android O apps. Hopefully soon though, but there's some speculation that we'll have to wait until the final release

Does a left swipe work for google now?

Thanks for the heads up! I think im going back to 7.1.2. the little hickups here and there, lack of tinted navbar and night mode and the newest safetynet problem on the latest build (019) just don't outweigh the little additions that Android O bring just yet.

If you have magisk working, you should be fine without FED Patching. The goal is to modify your boot.img, and root does this too

Flashed the version from AFH on my stock 7.1.2 and everything seems to be working fine.
I'm using TWRP + Magisk v12

I would, but the ability to do this isn't available yet. This requires modifying apk files, and Android O apks do not have support yet with apktool. Speculation is that we'll have to wait until the final O release to have support

hey guys, I managed to modify the framework-res to get the round icons enabled. here's the modified apk.
It's a zip file. UNZIP FIRST and you'll get the correct apk ( sorry, I can't upload an attachment that big right now)

still working on the blue Pixel accent. It's a little bit complex for me. maybe you guys can check the method above and try it yourself

Go clear Pixel Launcher's data and cache, then open the whatever File Explorer you put background (so that you won't have to open PLauncher and trigger the icon settings once agsin) and replace system/framework/framework-res.apk w/ this one I uploaded.

work on pure nexus 7.1.2 r8

First of all thanks to OP.
EDIT:
Working perfect.

On 7.1.2 with Magisk v13 and Pixel Luancher works but it does not show up in the Notification Access list to grant it permissions so the notification dots do not show up on the icons. Any ideas? TIA

My initial thought would be that the notification feature would only work on the O Preview. Notification badges were listed as a new feature of O, which leads me to believe the available of the notification dots is only in Android O sadly

[MOD] Navbar mod for Z2 OREO Carbon rom [major update+flashable]

Guys I've managed to create a navbar mod for the oreo carbon rom developed by rcstar6696. As the oreo carbon rom aint complete with customisations at the present which we had at the time of nougat.
The mod is : changed navbar height from 48dp to 32dp
(there is no color, navbar button theme, etc changed)
Required:
1. TWRP recovery
2. Obviously the rom for which the mod is
Root is not required
Installation:
1. Reboot to TWRP recovery
2. Install the attached zip
3. reboot
Bugs:
No bugs at all
Based on the OMS overlay system of android
It can bootloop 1-2 times after applying new mod. Just be patient and let it boot.
Testers needed:
This mod may work on other phones or roms running android 8.0 as long as they have the same Ids in the android framework. Which is most likely.
So someone with other phones on android 8.0 or other roms on z2(8.0 only) too plz test this out and let me know.
I cant test because i dont have any other device.
Plz let me know if it works so i can create a universal mod too.
In case if it bootloops, revert back by-
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Mount system
3. Delete file "android.navbar_mod.apk" in system/vendor/overlay
4. Reboot
Also ive tried creating a dynamic navbar mod but it bootloops. So anyone with some info can help
Credits:
1. rcstar6696 and their team for an awesome oreo rom for our Z2 :good:
Press thanks if I Helped

I can modify the framework for that but im not sure if the system will accept it. As 30dp results in bootloop if substratum theme is applied pre mod.
So for complete hiding i suggest u use the custom navbar app on the playstore...:good:
And if u wanna test the 0 dp navbar mod ill create it for u let me know.:angel:

It works with 8.1 but in 8.1 the navbar icons scale with the navbar height so the back and the recents button become tiny as a dot. Functionality is not impaired though. Its 8.1 feature i dont think i can fix it.
But u can apply it and navbar will become small and at the same time use the pixel navbar app from playstore (with animation turned off in app) or use the custom navigation bar pro theme for the navbar(only available in pro).
The above apps apply a navbar button overlay and so u can see the buttons again. I'm using it the same way.

nice mod

here is the fix for the smart view. U need a root explorer to do so. I recommend Mixplorer, download apk. DO NOT INSTALL like a regular apk. Using root explorer, go to root/system/priv-app. once in there create a new folder. Name folder SmartM. Copy the above smart mirroring apk into the newly named SmartM folder. The permissions should be set automatically as rw-r-r for the apk. just double check to be sure. Once that is done reset phone. U should now have a Smart Mirror icon under your notification drop down options. you should be able to connect to chrome cast and some smart tv's and mirror your phone. I tested this myself and it works fine. This version of smart mirroring is the note 8 version which is a little cooler in my opinion than the some of our other roms that have it. It is easier to just add this fix this way than re upload the whole rom and have u guys reinstall. additionally, I tried to make a flashable fix but I use linux and dont have that capability. or I dont know how yet. lol

Also, u do not have to keep using Odin and twrp every time. Just install the folder in priv app and reboot. Check notification quick tiles. It is up there. I did it again myself a 3rd time just to make sure. If u cant get it use allcast. Smart view only works if u have a chrome cast or roku anyway. And mirrors your screen onto the tele.

Oh, I do it every time because when something doesn't work, I always go back to my working MM backup until I try again. Then of course I have to re-upgrade to N, unrooting in the process, thus having to re-Odin etc. I had looked there in the buttons each time to see if it needed to be added too and unless the icon is not the normal icon or not labeled appropriately, it wasn't working. Although casting did work when using a casting icon/shortcut downloaded from google play. So i can live without a drop down as long as casting actually works. I wonder if this fix works on all rooted nougat roms that have it disabled.

Hmm weird. Its stumped me. Are u just trying to mirror your phone? I cast movies with an app called terrarium and it has an inbuilt casting feature. Btw, The icon looks normal. See screenshot. I have no idea. But all cast is a good one. Let me know if u want premium i can link you to my cloud with modded app

All cast

Go to settings and make sure visible to nearby devices are on under connections i think. Me and mr duck tried it and can confirm it works in nova

This

Gotcha, will try that when I get another chance. Thx a bunch for all the effort and replies! Oh and BTW, yes, just trying to mirror my screen because my family and I like to use apps like cw and cw seed and mirror them because we are cable cutters lol
