Glad to know that still works. Was kind of worried it wouldn't work since they skipped it and added EPS.

in order to get your powersaver quicksetting back, use a root explorer and open /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
Scroll down to the full list of quick settings (pictured below)
add <int>6</int> to the list
save and reboot. Presto, you have a power saving quicksetting in your list.

My pleasure.

What is the path to the Settings.db file? I don't want to use a paid editor,and like to know what file I am changing.
Thanks.
edit:
Is this the file?
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
If so, why can it no longer be opened with my free sql editor I have been using for years?
edit: Downloaded aShell granted SU, granted root, and launched saqlitemanager from there, go into the table "secure" and make the changes.

Navigation buttons

Anyone know if it's possible to change the size of the navigation buttons? It's so small for a giant screen like that what has in this phone.
Thanks.

Or, does anyone know how to make them disappear?

adb shell

This trick doesn't work anymore on MHA-L29C185B182.
To apply the settings temporarily, the original Huawei Home launcher must be used, and after reboot the phone , navigation bar reapers.
Did you find any alternatives?
Thanks!

Can't change Mac ADDRRES.

Hi there, non-native english posting for some help.
So I have a Moto G 2015 XT1542 and I've tried in Resurrection Remix and LineageOs aswell trying to change Mac ADDRRES with the app Change My Mac and the phones reboot by itself.
I've tried too with the Terminal Emulator but nothing changes also when I try use root explorer it just doesn't work, same with other apps.
I got rooted both rooms.
Anyone knows something?

i don't think you can change the MAC address.
why do you want to change it?

Go to /proc/config/wifi_mac/ and open the "ascii" file with a text editor that has root permission. Your WiFi Mac is on the left, your Bluetooth Mac is on the right. They are separated by commas. Change it, save it, reboot, profit. I suggest backing this file up, as there is no way to get it back.

If you're properly rooted, then its probably selinux. Try setting it to permissive. The command in terminal is "setenforce 0" no quotes. Try editing it after that. You can verify you're in permissive by checking the about phone section in settings. This works for me on LOS14.1 and stock 6.0.1.
Edit: Just checked, I can't directly copy the ASCII file with selinux in permissive, however, I can edit and save it though, and also copy the text in it, and paste it to a new text file.

The su add-on has a problem being seen by rootexplorer. Flash either SuperSU 2.79 or magisk 12.0+. It will fix it. It's fine to flash over the su add-on. Never hurt anything in my experience. Also, don't forget to set selinux to permissive. Magisk has a permissive selinux module here on xda if you go with them.

Did you get a root prompt from magisk and also put selinux in permissive mode? If you use magisk you also have to install magisk manager. I can't imagine what the problem could be otherwise. I've used this method on two different ospreys without any issues.

Old Style Navigation keys

I am wondering if anyone knows or heard of anyway that the gesture navigation can be turned off and use the old style navigation keys instead? I know Google wants us to use the new gesture navigation and cant for the life of me understand why they are taking a stand with this and leave an option to turn off that ugly notch in the XL model?? I am wondering if the old "adding this line to the build prop will work" qemu.hw.mainkeys=0...this is assuming of course that we can root and Magisk will work with the new Titan security.

Great question! I will also be very interested in switching back to traditional navigation keys. The gestures just don't flow well. Why swipe right to go switch to the last app, but then you can't swipe left to go back, you have to tap. You swipe up to access the app switcher, but tap the pill to go home. Google, either use swipes or use taps, NOT BOTH!!!

You have to download Pixel launcher from Piixel 2

Shouldn't there be an ADB command for this?
Edit: Try this ADB command at your own risk:
"adb shell settings put secure swipe_up_to_switch_apps_enabled 0"
To reverse it try:
"adb shell settings put secure swipe_up_to_switch_apps_enabled 1"

Once we get root I am hoping for a way to get the old style nav bars back this new stuff is for the birds,,,I dont like it at all.

I gave this a try, but sadly it did not work. No error messages or anything, just no changes either.

Try deleting nexuslauncherprebuilt on rooted phone. And install third party pixel launcher. But don't yell at me if anything goes wrong.
Edit: when the device is root-able. I managed to revert back to oreo recent and traditional navbar on Android pie custom room for Nexus 5x, by simply deleting nexuslauncherprebuilt.

Lets hope that it is this easy. I doubt it will be though.

Once we get root, I'm sure apps like custom navbar will bring back the old style. It already works in Android pie.

Sure it does. You just need root and a good theme

I think most people believe that because the way in which you apply the overlays are different. As long as you have a rooted phone and a Substratum theme that supports Android Pie you can use Substratum. There is just two more steps in the usual process after you build and enable the overlays. After you apply overlays, you just need to reboot your device and then go back into substratum and go to manager and enable the overlays you just built.

[Guide] Magisk Modules Disabler for booting into Magisk core-only Mode

Tools needed: boot.img extractor. I recommend the one created by osm0sis from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
The first method was developed by osm0sis and removes magisk and all modules.
1. Unpack magisk_patched.img
2. Unzip overlay.dremove1.zip and place overlay.d folder in ramdisk folder.
3. Repack IMG
4. fastboot boot image-new.img created by repacking img
This method is an offshoot of osm0sis version but boots core-only mode. Afterwards, remove the .disable-magisk file from the /cache folder for modules to work. Dot files are hidden files so if your root explorer can't see hidden files, run the "Remove disable_magisk" bat file in ADB.
1. Same as above but use the overlay.dcoreonly1.zip
For both methods you must be rooted for it to work. These are not cure all's for all bootloops.
Remove .disable_magisk bat file
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261684994
Here is a fastboot bootable image to boot you into Magisk core-only mode, in case you bootloop due to flashing a bad module, in fastboot:
fastboot boot image-newpixel4xl.img
You will boot with root but modules disabled. After you remove the offending module you will need to go to /cache folder and delete the .disable_magisk file before your modules will work.
fastboot boot image-newpixel4xlRemove.img
This one should remove magisk and all modules, then reboot and magisk should reinstall itself (ask to install necessary binaries). This is what osm0sis uses to recover from failed flashes. See this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...odules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3976625/page2
Images are in this common folder. Pick the appropriate image for your phone.
6-4-20
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=313291

Awesome, since we may not have TWRP this is extremely valuable.

Thanks for this, I was able to boot back into the OS. However, I had to do a complete uninstall of magisk to get rid of the bootloop.
Thanks again, saved me a wipe

Mine have to do with my mods when I try new things, so usually SystemUIGoogle.apk. I've found that just deleting the apk itself from the modules and leaving the folders in place works best.

I would like that very much. I'd much rather not use xposed. Every time I have it has been a little flaky. Do know though that I tried the center clock mod you already made and it wasn't working for me.
Perhaps because I'm on the .C4 release or because I'm using Nova?

I did some more troubleshooting and the clock mod does work now. But only sort of. It doesn't work with Nova set as the default launcher and gesture navigation. It disabled the home action as far as I can tell.

okay I think I figured it out. It had to do with the navigation gestures hiding the nav bars. Unless it's set to full Iimmersive mode then it somehow conflicts with the gestures and the launcher. Oddly this only happens with the clock mode enabled and not when it's not.

okay. I just changed the navigation bar to be visible since it's so unobtrusive in the gesture nav.
I also set up per app immersive, which more than makes up for the lost real estate.
Thanks for helping me sort it out,and even more so for the work you do on the mods. I've had a pixel since they came out, and I really like the stuff you did for my 2 xl and 3 xl.
Look forward to 2hat you do for the 4 xl ?.
