if you're happy unlock your bootloader you can flash Pixel Experience+ GSI
otherwise you'd still need root at least for lawnchair launcher if I remember right.

Lawnchair doesn’t need root. If you want to root, but not custom rom, try pixelify module.

If you want quick switch support, you need root. Android 13 also does not support lawnchair quickswitch.

Yes, it will work,
100% fine on user installed apps and common system apps (Facebook, whatsapp, twitter, youtube, gmail, phone, messages, contacts, calendar, many common apps.)
But it may not work (properly) on un-common (part of SystemUI) apps.
This are notifications, settings, etc,
(Haven't tried on g5s+, but on g4+ i have experience notifications misses many elements.)
In addition, you will not be able to change fonts and bootanimation in legacy (root) mode.

That is unconvinient for me. I want to make all system UI black ;/. There's no rom which support this fully?
Unless there's another way to make system UI black'ish and some apps/widgets too?

Yes, OMS roms, all custom ROM (except AOSP and LineageOS) now comes with support for OMS (Overlay Manager Service) which also does not require root for substratum, and supports fonts and boot animation..
I am using AOSP-Extended and Swift Black Theme, it's completely black including notification and system components...

Thanks. I heard that there are problem wich camera on custom roms. Hope it will be fixed. Or maybe there's a way already. I will educate ;d

What are you using root for?

Now that root on X4 is pretty solid it would be nice to see what different people use it for.
Themes? Apps that need root? Magisk modules?
Let's share some tips and tricks!
I have not rooted yet but want to know if there is some interesting customised tips for motox4
For me it was actually needed to remove operator bloatware.
But I found here the (almost) clean EU retail ROM where only Linked-in and Outlook apps are added, so it's perfectly OK for me.
So... no need for root
I reverted back to fully stock but I mainly used it for AdBlock.
i use root for adblock. if i could find a way to write a hosts without rooting id be happy
You guys using ADblock, wouldn't it be the same to use a browser with this feature built-in?
Well, that works if you don't want to block ad banners inside apps.

It's not the same as editing the host file. Many ads still get through.
Another important reason why I need root. Titanium backup.

2nd This!
Rooted for.
* No wireless display support (edit built.prop)
* Adblocking( Edit host)
* Audiomods(Viper)
* Xposed modules.
@anas214812, now that's interesting stuff! A couple of questions:
1) is that wireless display mod you refer to able to show the phone content on the TV?
2) about Xposed, do you know if GravityBox works? I'd be interested in a way to set the statusbar clock centrally aligned.
Thanks!

Bro...warranty will be voided permanently...right now there is no way relock the bootloader and most of the banking apps not working for me ?
Ah! Thanks again for the heads-up!
Now I'll think twice before rooting X4, because I use a banking app and actually care about product warranty.

On my old Moto PE, I had no issues with unlocked bootloader and Magisk for Adroid Pay or any banking apps. Are you finding differently with Moto X4 or are you not hiding root with Magisk? Does safetynet checks pass in Magisk?

When I install magisk safety net was pass and after installing xposed and its framework.zip file from magisk then safetynet failed.
But even without installing magisk just because of bootloader unlocking my banking apps won't work. Even with safetynet pass(but Google pay worked).

In android Pie the Pixel launcher is quite deeply integrated with the "muktitasking" (you know, when you swipe up to see recent apps, I don't know how to call it) I think, so the only way you have to use it is to install a simplified version, without the recent apps function (there was a post on the XDA frontpage some time ago).
If you really want the Pixel feeling, I suggest you to try the Official PixelExperiemce ROM for our device, it's awesome.

Good way to UB, magisk root and debloat Stock Pie?

Hi guys!!
My dad recently got me a Mi A2.
I would be grateful if someone can tell me how to unblock bootloader and get magisk and debloat this stock pie rom. On my A1 there is no need of a patched boot image to get magisk working. I just flash the magisk zip and it works. Are things different on a2?
Will I be able to install OTA updates if I debloat my stock pie and use adaway and systemless hosts module of magisk?

I dont like google apps and file manager etc and digital wellbeing sort of things. I like nova launcher prime so I would like to get rid of stock launcher also.

Once you achieve root, you can freeze applications. If you don't want root, you can remove them through ADB commands. There's very little, if any, bloat on this device.
As for Nova, with or without it, you aren't going to see a significant performance increases.

Question True Always On Display possible on the stock rom?

I know the "disable miu optimizations" trick but that ain't a good idea, and i can install a third party Always On Display app from the Playstore, but with the latter the fingerprintscanner doesn't function well when unlocking the device so a no go either.
Any other workarounds to get rid of that ridiculous 10 second limitation from Xiaomi other than installing a custom rom?
If i knew this in advance i would have never bought this phone.

I have MIUI 13.0.14 but nothing worked as it was on Samsung. I know apps from Google Play that work as it was previous, but they want access to read messages from phone. Is it safe?

If the apps come from the play store, it should be safe.
Some apps need specific permissions to work.
It's just the security on the Xiaomi that blocks while on other brands these authorizations are automatically granted.

So they actually can't see messages body, just count of unread messages?

Hi, I found this magisk module on Mods center Telegram channel (which yes, needs to be rooted)
This basically removes the 10s limit. Don't have any screenshot but should work in the latest MIUI 13 since the module was made recently (posted on September 15 in the channel)
PS: Never tested it myself on stock ROM

To get root i need to unlock the bootloader, might as well flash a custom rom then.
