[Question] Customize gestures new navbar? - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

[Question] Customize gestures new navbar? - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

From Android 8, 2 and 3 buttons navigation bar are customizable through substratum and overlays (change color, shape, icons)
With adb you can edit the buttons placement, and with apps like tasker you can customize it even more.
What about Android 10? Someone has any clue?
For example, oneplus 7 with oxygenos 10 has an iphone-like bigger pill, so something about it (maybe just the drawable icon) might be editable.
Any suggestions?

Bump for anyone interested:
I found this thread in the Redmi Note 5 section: it uses an addon for Pixel Experience rom and android 10 aosp. The zip is a recovery flashable for that device, so I tried extracting the apk and building a magisk module for pixels.
It works as expected, but it removes the corner padding from statusbar. As fix just run this adb command once (sticks after reboot): "adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_content_padding 16"
If someone would like to try this, simply flash the module in the attachments. I take no credit for this, I just converted the zip in magisk module.
P.S: if someone ever found out this other module for immersive gestures (which shows the pill but hides the navbar), I can confirm they work together.
EDIT: Since the apk for the bigger pill is a modified version from the pixel experience rom and not from the official factory images, it doesn't contain the exclusive pixel features, so heads up, it breaks features like "pixel stand connection" and motion sense "reach to check".
Just wanna let you know cause I wasted 2 solid days trying to figure out what was wrong with motion sense and my pixel stand

Tested this on a 1st gen Pixel running LineageOS 17 and works good.

Are you rooted and why?

Just as the title says I'm just asking those of you who are rooted and a quick brief explanation of why? Even those not rooted I would also encourage to Express your reasonings.
Personally I'm not rooted right now because I don't have TWRP and Google pay is iffy at the moment but I would love to root for substratum, adaway, and Viper sound mods.
Thanks guys.

Google Pay works with a simple fix in Termux app - no issues with it unless you use EdXposed.
I'm rooted for modding, theming, ability to install custom kernel, Button Mapper capabilities, Swift Backup, ability to fix device ambient EQ, ability to mod Active Edge, ability to use Lawnchair with QuickStep recents. mod accent colors to cool neon colors, iYTPB YouTube mod.. Substratum (not using currently but will be soon), ability to hide navbar.. the list goes on.
I'm rooted because this is a Google device with open source code and active development so modding and customizing my device is easy, fun, and I am able to see the changes being made without the blind guesswork and hackery involved in trying to develop for so many half-baked source release devices.

rooted so I can use;
- AdAway
- ViPER4Android
- EdXposed
As previously mentioned, Gpay is working fine.
And you don't "need" TWRP to root the P4XL.

Thanks for your input guys but I'm a little confused through googling I see a magisk module that supposedly does all the necessary scripting in the background and then like mentioned here I see manually editing via termux. So I'm just wondering what is the exact procedure or is there a thread I can't seem to find with the exact instructions?

I recommend this Termux fix, believe spaceman860 from DU is the first I saw using this but could be wrong, copying this from Telegram
Gpay fix v2
1. Install Termux app and open the app
2. Type pkg install sqlite hit enter and let it install.
3. Type su hit enter
4. Copy and paste this then hit enter
am force-stop /data/data/com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel && chmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db && /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db "update main set c='0' where a like '%attest%';" && chmod 444 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db
5. Reboot

I'm rooted mainly so I can install a custom kernel. I always end up rooting for one small reason or another.

Because i can

Adaway for now.

I root for,
AdAway
YouTube Vanced
Active Edge Mod
Custom Fonts
Themes (Swift Installer and Substratum)
Viper4Android
Centre Clock Mod
Build prop edits (just to change volume steps, really)
Screen recorder with internal audio recording
iOS Emojis
Some Tasker stuff that requires root
Swift Backup
SD Maid Pro

Main feature is custom kernel... It can realy provide a boost

@rickysidhu_ can you give me a link to the screen recording app please?

Yes, rooted.
Because I use:
Custom Kernels (battery saving)
BlackenedMod (battery saving)
AdAway (no ads!)
YouTube Vanced (YouTube without ads and other cool features!)
Custom Themes (just a better colour palate for OEM colours in styles)
Viper4Android (awesome sound on speakers/earphones)
Centre Clock Mod (purely aesthetic)
TiB (backing up and restoring apps)

I haven't rooted since the first pixel. Haven't needed to. Adguard premium does what I need along with YouTube vanced.
I'll never bother messing with my phones again.

I'm rocking a P3xl, but I rooted for...
Advanced Charging Control module - allows me to control how the battery is charged - (ie lower the max charge to 80% and other things that should increase overall battery life)
Active Edge Mod (mostly standard settings, but can squeeze to take a picture when the camera is open instead of having to press the shutter button on the screen. This really helps when trying to hold the phone with one hand).
Viper4Android
AdAway
YouTube Vanced
ExperimentalX kernel - great kernel and it has high brightness mode (HBM) support too. (Like the Pixel 4 series, the 3a series has a max brightness that is actually lower than the screen is capable of. HBM overrides this and truly maxes the brightness. It really helps when using the phone outside in bright sunlight).
With the Pixel 4 series, I think being able to map the Soli gestures for other things might be very interesting too.

FINGERFACE!!!!!! How can Google release a flagship model with no FP sensor before getting all the banking/security apps to support the Face-unlock API???

They don't call it the bleeding edge for nothing and something had to come first; there would never be support without need and there is no need until someone creates it. Realistically Google has used their power over the ecosystem to require support and it's going to be ubiquitous in the near future. For now, some of us have to bleed a little bit...

No need to bleed, just root and install EdXposed and Fingerface.

No longer feel the need to root. System is working just fine and I'm using DNS66 from f-Droid with AdAway hosts. It's working absolutely fine without rooting.

Any solutions (even if root required) to removing the navigation line and black space but still being able to use gestures?

I love my Pixel 5, but what I hate is the navigation line and black space at the bottom when I am in most apps. It is a waste of space and is unsightly (it's ugly and ruins an otherwise great screen experience). Are there any solutions to remove it (for example, immersive mode or expanded desktop apps or even xposed or gravitybox something like that), that still let me use gestures?
I heard the immersive mode apps that have been around for years no longer work in Android 11.
Thanks!

On Android 10 on my Mi A2 I was using a Magisk module which did exactly that.
It's called Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-R) by DanGLES3 (v8.1), last updated on Dec 13. You can find it here or in Magisk search.
I have no idea if this module will work on the Pixel 5 because I'm not rooted and can't test it, sorry about that, but it's a start. Just wait until someone can confirm it works before you unlock and root (unless of course you plan to unlock and root anyway).

It works!!! Thank you!!!

[MODULE] N3O No Nonsense Notch Overlay

N3O (or Nitrous Oxide i guess )
Who is it for:
devices with punchole or cutout displays
the black bar REALLY annoys you in landscape
clock behind camera annoys you just as much!
What it does:
Uses full screen in landscape mode
respects the cutout in portrait to ensure a normal status bar
Device Support
Preset for Oneplus 8/8T & 8 Pro
Preset for Pixel 5
Other devices via custom config (left/right cutouts, center cutouts experimental)
Custom mode for other left or right cutouts without presets (please share your values)
OS:
13 - Experimental builds (here)
12 - Experemental builds (here)
11 - AOSP based Roms
10 - Currently not supported (can install but bootloops reported)
Nonsense:
The only nonsesne here, is that devices that switch resolution need to have a specific cutout to match it. if you dynamically change resolution using tasker you need to switch overlays when you do so (seems to not affect powersave mode when at full resolution)
For up-to date information on features in the module and how to use it, check the documentation on git here
Where do i get it:
Github Releases: Releases · logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay (github.com)
Here: N3O_v1.4I4Z.003.zip
Recognition
Gnonymous7 for Script base and install logic
Zackptg5 for MMT-Ex template.
topjohnwu Magisk.
All the testers and xda for providing a platform to test on

Thanks, works perfect for my Pixel 5
Only disadvantage is the blurry border ring around the hole punch camera.
Do you have any future plans to fix this?

Yeah think this happens for all "notch killer" ones as well.
Tbh a non root app with just a customizable circle would work to anti Alias the cutout
I could not find any existing ones from a quick search but may create one in the future.

Yeah i tried using the App Energy Ring and it worked when i color it to black.
But i don't need that function

Do you think that we can have an immersive mode on android 11 like it's working on android 10? (Auto hiding status bar to prevent burn in)

Oneplus did something funky with the system UI customisations.
I think immersive doesn't work for the same reason you can't truly change the status bar height.
I tested a module I built to disable as many systemUi overlays by oneplus and the statusbar started reacting correctly (not sure about immersive but it let me change the height properly)
Inadvertently it also caused brightness to stay on max and a bunch of other weird things but hey

Unlikely not impossible. Just better hope the code doesn't sit in java files because editing smali files are a real pain.
I'm probably gonna do another dump of all files from the latest update at some point and extract all apks etc and do a scan in the contents of all files.
I have a pretty fast 3000mbps ssd so any windows/Linux tools people know for taking advantage while searching let me know

You rock man! Really, the only thing which prevents me from updating my 8 pro to Android 11 is no possible immersive mode. On 10, i can auto hide the status bar and the punch hole gets ignored, too.

You can get it. Just use this module plus use the "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q/R)" module that's available in the Magisk repo.

LOL. Nothing is impossible. I would have replied to this instead of what I did above if I saw it first.
EDIT: You'll need to use gestures instead of navbar buttons to use that module. Never thought to ask what you are using, but gestures is default on 11

Hey, I appreciate your help! So, as mentioned from you above, if I use both of those modules,nI can have a working immersive mode on 11? With the statusbar being disabled / autohidden? (Statusbar, not navbar). Best regards

It still doesn't rid of the status bar for me though. Navbar goes away like the fullscreen mode

Using a 1px-wide cutout to achieve full landscape in Android 11, neat. Thanks for the inspiration OP!

Probably you need to be using gestures instead of navbar, but that's just a guess. The mod is made to get rid of the little white line/pill at the bottom of the screen which also creates a small thin black bar when gestures is used.

Ah yeah I use it like this with gesyures. But immersive mode historically came with settings.
No navbar.
No statusbar.
Fullscreen (no status and navbar)
I'm assuming that's what's being considered immersive mode that's broken.

Would it be possible to go full screen in portrait apps as well? Can't we push all status bar elements to the right? (punch hole on the top left)

With the custom setting you can push it as far right as you want.
Oneplus 8 series
However there's no ridding of the statusbar or even changing its size at the moment.
G-visual mod alters the status bar height and yes the content of the statusbar shrinks. But can't move the line below the camera that separates the statusbar from the action bar (this is not normal behaviour)
I've spent countless nights modding this to hell but the only way I got anything to work is remove all the system UI overlays using magisk - but then things like brightness control etc stop working
other devices
you could enable immersive (other mods should be compatible with this)
This mod however just inserts an object to the left which obstructs elements underneath to move, pushing all the content to the right would mean modifying a lot of XML files across different devices and compatibility would be hard (device specific)
What we perceive as the "status bar" is actually not just in one place in android, it consists of, status bar, keyboard status bar, heads up status bar and notification status bar.
My original pre release no nonsense mod was built like this, but I found it was version specific to even minor upgrades and was too volatile causing bootloops etc.
Not that it cannot be done.
sorry for the essay just sharing my findings

I appreciate the information you shared. I'm trying to find info on the status bar and possible mods to get rid of the black bar in some games.
I'm actually using an oneplus 8 pro. I tried g-visual mod but it didn't work properly. (There is also a possibility I did something completely wrong).
Adding status bar padding changed nothing. There were elements behind the punch hole.
What custom settings are you referring to?

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
Pixel 6 Wallpapers (requires an extra module, please check downloads section)
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
Dark Themes from Android 11 Addon Features
Choose QS number of rows
Brightness slider padding and thick track options
Enhanced Google Dialer (to enable stuff like Call Recording and etc.)
Enhanced Smart Space (to enable stuff like Flashlight, Earthquakes options, etc.)
Enables some newer Pixel features to older Pixel devices (things like Live Translate, Haptic feedback settings, etc.)
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)
Dual tone Light/Dark themes for Quick Settings Panel and Power Menu
Album art on lock screen options
Music visualizer options
QS Quick pulldown with one finger (options are off, drag from the top left, drag from the top right and drag from anywhere on the top)
Revamped Screenshot service (it allows us to delete screenshot as soon as we take it and we can enable/disable screenshot shutter sound)
Show/Hide QS Edit icon on QS footer
Show/Hide Quick access Developer options icon on QS footer
Quick access Rom Control app by long pressing on QS Footer Settings icon
Edit Back gesture navigation height
Enable/Disable inverted layout for 2 and 3 button navigation modes
Enable/Disable carrier text on lock screen

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.

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!

Could you send me the logcat when trying to use the "normal" one? Just so I may check if the problem is indeed related to network traffic indicators like it happened on Android 11.

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.

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!

[MOD][MAGISK][ANDROID 12] Addon Features for Pixel Devices - Pixel 4 Thread

Code:

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!

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?

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)
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

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!
