Hello there everybody,
I'd like to ask or some help. I was searching for an Homebrew ROM for the Pixel 2 without GAPPS, so that I could easily install NanoDroid/microG, but I didn't find it. So, I though I could do it on my own with the help of this Magisk module called Debloat V10. But the question now is, which apps are really connected to GAPPS and which not, which ones should I remove for microG/which ones are safe to remove.
Any experience? Thanks

Hello!
I have a question about ROM, is there any that is without the unnecessary applications of Samsung, Google etc, example: Samsung Members, Samsung Connect, VR Gear, Samsung Health etc, a clean but non-root rom, why use bank applications and cards.
Sorry for the question, I always used cell phones with root, but I did not use banking applications. Is there a solution?
The touchwiz based ROMs like SuperMan let you choose what Samsung apps and Google apps to install during the flash process, so you can just untick the ones you don't want. There's also a debloat script floating around somewhere which removes unnecessary apps.
You can also use root, and a ROM with Magisk which hides root and passes safetynet so long as you don't use Xposed. That'll let you use bank apps.

Thanks for the answer, I was an old user of my old and good Xperia Z2, rooted but now with the S7 I'm lost, I just wanted to have a way to not have unnecessary applications.
I'm finally not needing something that needs root, just like it used to.
Hello I'm looking for information on what current magisk version that is available for Google pixel in the latest magisk manager any help thank you I'm trying to gain root and safety-net pass I tried googling but no real clear answers and I'm not locked down to a carrier on device it's all from Google just confused I flash rom and throw through twrp and I need root
I'd say just flash latest stable magisk, that's all I've ever done (not currently rooted) and it's usually worked perfectly. If in doubt it could be worth a look through the magisk discussion thread for any info. Last time I used it it had to be flashed after ROM and gapps and after you had first booted into system at least once, not sure on the safety test bit as it don't bother me but there are magisk modules or edits to the buildprop that can get round that.
Hope that's some help mate
Here what's going on and I'm looking for help
There are magisk modules that will resolve that, If I remember right it's a build fingerprint issue so if the ROM build fingerprint don't match what's on Google's approved list you get that occur.
Can't remember the module names but it's something along the lines of props config or safetynet pass or similar named modules
i want to say thank you for that push i know what you mean now and i really thank you

I am new to the Pixel 3a and used to TWRP installations and custom ROMs and started to understand the special situation with pixel, root etc. I would like to keep the Pixel stock, but want to get rid of all google apps. Is there a way - without using a custom ROM (the boot.img-way) - to degoogle this phone?
Thank you in advance!

The best way that I know to debloat with or without root is to use ADB. See the XDA tutorial here.
If you have root there's also the debloat magisk module.
For the ADB route, there's even a preset script to remove all the google from your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/script-universal-android-debloater-t4069209
I use System App Remover myself. Through trial and error, I was able to remove about 40 different apps and programs from the factory system.
I now just use microg for a few of the things I need, and then sideload all the apps I use.
Prior to that, I used a couple of magisk modules to minimize the battery use of the google services. I also froze and disabled what I could.
I should be getting the device in a few days and want to install EdXposed ASAP. I have found a few references of folks who did this but it's not clear whether it's on Android 11 or not.
If any one has been able to install EdXposed and get it running, it would be great if they can share the links to the framework and manager they used. And of course, their experience and tips
This would help the community of Pixel 4a users
Here is how I got it working
Obviously you have a rooted device running Android 11, with Magisk installed.
Install EdXposed Manager v4.5.7.
From the canary tab download the YAHFA/ Sandhook drivers (zip) . Note that downloaded version may have a different name from the file name in canary tab, in my case
Which one did you flash? Yahfa or Sandhook?
Neither one of those show up for me. I tried flashing framework and it says incompatible device.

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get the notification
YAHFA. But note that when I flashed, every thing was fine. In between, probably some Play Store updates broke camera and recorder. Uninstalling updates fixed the problem
Hey guys, I've posted a lot of questions in different threads throughout the P7P forum. I have bookmarked posts and threads that offered important information and instructions, but I wanted to start a thread to aggregate all the information and instructions. I am coming from a P2XL. I have titanium backup, but I've never successfully restored from it. I see a lot of discussion about swift backup on these forums now. I have already purchased titanium backup, so if I can use that to restore apps and data from my P2XL to my P7P I'd like to do that instead of buying another app.
Here's what I'd like to use:
1.) substratum for swiftblack. Can AOSP mods do this?
2.) adaway. I see some people mentioning adguard, but I don't want a subscription service.
3.) I really want something that enables sweep to sleep. I'm a big believer in saving the mechanical power button by not using it. sweep to sleep allows for this and is handier anyway.
4.) backup and restore capability whether through titanium backup or swiftbackup
5.) xprivacy lua (no experience with this, but as big tech and government spying increases I want this protection). If this functions correctly this may become one of my favorite parts about rooting.
6.) free google photos forever backup (spoof device as a pixel). which lsposed or magisk module does this?
7.) youtube revanced
8.) button mapper
9.) legacy power button options
10.) Viper4android. Someone said an app called "wavelet" is more stable and functioning. It does all the same stuff as v4a including making volume louder which is the main reason I use v4a.
11.) Perhaps above all I want complete stock functionality of my device through successful hiding of root. I need to be able to use banking apps and google pay. Will the above listed modules prevent that?
What is your experience with all of these and advice you may have for installing and maintaining them through updates? Is this list too extensive? A few years ago when I was messing around with rooting my P2XL the general guidance was to not install too many mods and apps because they begin to conflict and cause issues that lead to bootloops.
Here's the game plan for when the pixel arrives. First, is this the best spot to get the latest ADB and fastboot tools?
1.) Flash the latest OTA update from google.
2.) Follow the XDA-provided guides to unlock the bootloader and root
3.) "Start" the phone for first with all the necessary work done for a rooted device, allow the device to restore apps and app data from the google backup I complete on my current P2XL.
4.) finish the installation of magisk per the XDA guiedes listed above in step 2.
5.) install the mods and modules listed above. Install and reboot one at a time, so if one causes an issue (bootloop) it will be very easy to isolate and determine which one is the culprit.
Can anyone offer links on guides on how to recover from a bootloop or issue? I saw something on XDA about uninstalling a problematic module by booting to safe mode. Unfortunately it was before I started bookmarking and saving threads and posts on XDA. In the past I think I handled this by using a magisk manager for twrp, but as we all know TWRP doesn't exist for the P7P.

Best to ask in the [MOD][Xposed+Magisk][Pre-Release] AOSP Mods thread. I use Pitch Black through it, but I don't know anything beyond that, and I don't think that mod has any relationship to Substratum.

Just use Fox's Mmm (Magisk Module Manager) to install Adaway either through F-Droid app or directly from GitHub.

[Kernel] [Android Stable]Kirisakura for Pixel 7/Pro aka "Pantah"
You'll have to use one (or both if you wish) of the CleanSlate apps to configure the many capabilities - Kirisakura is based on CleanSlate, so they both use the same apps for configuration.

I see cleanslate kernel config and cleanslate kernel companion in the Google play store. Neither apps' description lists being able to control or toggle sweep to sleep. I didn't see any in-app screenshots showing the option either. Which one manages the sweep to sleep functionality? Either kernel will enable sweep to sleep? Also, is there any way to enable sweep to sleep without flashing a kernel? I have read through one of the kernel threads. The process to flash a kernel including disabling verity and all the issues people were reporting made me think I wasn't going to do a custom kernel on this phone. It was a lot easier on the past on the p2xl with twrp. Flashing a kernel looks daunting though.

Look in the kernel threads I linked, which is where they advertise the S2S feature. I've used both kernels on the P6P, and they definitely have S2S.

I don't remember - best, you should ask in one of the two kernel threads. I'm not using a custom kernel right now because I don't want to have to factory reset, since I haven't disabled Verity and Verification yet.
Schroeder09 said:

Yes. Like I said, Kirisakura kernel is based on CleanSlate. It's the base CleanSlate (Kirisakura includes) that has the S2S feature, which you can configure using the appropriate app.

I've never heard of another way. You can do something like it with some third-party replacement launchers like Nova Launcher Prime which I use - in which you can make many custom gestures, but it's not going to be exactly like S2S no matter what.
Personally, I overall prefer [MOD][Xposed+Magisk][Pre-Release] AOSP Mods' option to double-tap status bar to sleep.

I don't know what issues you're referring to. I have kept up with every single post in all three custom kernel threads. If you disable them and follow the rest of the instructions, such as to re-disable them every time you update or just flash the phone's firmware, there's no issue.
Flashing the kernel itself is even easier than with TWRP. You don't have to boot into TWRP, you can use a reliable app like [DEV] Kernel Flasher.
Not trying to convince you either way. If you don't want to, then don't.

Thanks. I'll read through entirely instead of a few pages here and there. The double tap to sleep sounds reasonable. Perhaps I'll try that.
Hello,
Regarding this: 6.) free google photos forever backup (spoof device as a pixel). which lsposed or magisk module does this?
Pixelify-Google-Photos with lsposed zygisk + magisk latest stable:
Release v4.1 · BaltiApps/Pixelify-Google-Photos
Update app icon Update app name
github.com
No notification in Photos app setting regarding unlimited storage, but keep it original quality and back some stuff up if you want to try, your storage count won't move.
