Issue installing Magisk or Xposed, help a newbie?

Hi guys,
I have flashed PureNexus on my Pixel.
However, I can't seem to get Magisk or Xposed framework installed. Xposed give a
Failed: /systemm could not be mounted
and the Magisk 12.0 for Pixel gives
Unable to unpack boot image
I've reset the /data partion per instructions so it's not encrypted.
Any ideas?

Xposed can't work on the Pixel, because Pixel has dual ROM.
You can use Unofficial Magisk by @goodwin_c
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=183895
It supports Pixel and XL.
(You must use his Unofficial Magisk Installer.)

Please give a short help.
What I have tried so far:
* fresh installation ROM V9.6.17.0.ODIMIFE (Oreo, last stable Nov.18 build)
-
1st attempt (over TWRP):
* fastboot boot twrp.img (TingyiChen, 20190108)
* flash flax-9.6.17.0.zip -> ERROR: 7
-
2nd attempt (Magisk):
* fastboot flash boot patched_boot_magisk181.img
* install magisk manager 7.0.0
* open MagiskManager - Module - install Flax4Magisk-9.6.17.0.zip (over "+")
-> Error: "Please install Magisk v17.0+! Installation failed!
What do I have to do?
Update:
1st attempt (TWRP) ist still not working.
2nd attempt (Magisk) works, after online update.

i will never push versions again, my modules are just make a specific versions, they should work fine. if you have any issue that's not my prob. for the rest guides are not available, not my prob too. oreo roms are outdated, and xposed is already available on pie sooo

It's just as good if not better no problems

I like the quickstep launcher more because of the swipe down for the notifications gesture etc. Pixel launcher doesn't provide that right?
Arrow ROM is really great and smooth!

If i came from pixel experience i just factory reset it then flash or need to flash again the chinese developer rom for a stable gcam?

I fixed ZIP installation and added 190113_04 build.
Now you don't need to download separate zip for kernel, but you have to flash Magisk v17.3 zip after rom zip.

Flash just the vendor IMG, to vendor from twrp, but no it won't as long as you uncheck relock bootloader

The zip rom file works great!
Congrats for your efforts dev!
Now if we have an app for the slider to work(like open camera) it would be great
The rom seems very good.....and fluid
Also there is a poco miui cam port for aosp based roms.Already there is mi8 magisk zip.....I dont know if it is easy to work on mi mix 3

Are there any changes from the most recent system image vs. this new Zip?

Hi,
I installed it in Magisk and if the fix is enabled all gcam 7.x are not able to start and stop working moment after start. Tested with magisk 22.1 and LOS 18.1 .

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Tested on EvoX.

I found , the source of problem was AFWall+ [ed]xposed module activated in the system. When I disabled this module, the buffer fix works.

Probably it will fry my camera module in around a month, but unexpectedly it works like a charm on a Xiaomi Mi 9 SE with the latest lineageOS (Android 12) gg

I did clean install official LOS 19.1 and installed buffer fix for TWRP via lineage recovery adb sideload.: GCAM is stuttering.
After that I installed official TWRP "twrp-3.7.0_9-0-pyxis.img" for pyxis and mounted vendor partition prior to installing TWRP buffer fix again via TWRP from mounted USB stick. GCAM is still stuttering.
Any hints/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Maybe gcam does need a special XML config? I tried different GCAM versions, but did not find a XML config for pyxis.

[Guide] Installing Updated GSI

So, I was testing various and came across the guide for installing LineageOS17 GSI in the guides section. The way mentioned seems to be working
Procedure-
Install TWRP with latest security patches according to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/updated-september-2022-how-to-root-a7-2018.4488289/
Now, download Latest LineageOS19.1 vndklite-secure GSI.
Make sure to have backup of your internal storage, it might need to be wiped.
Install this GSI and right after that install Quantum Kernel 2.5 GSI version(for mtp) (check in attachments, it has Magisk 25.2 instead of 20.4 as mentioned in verbose) and then Magisk. After boot, check if MTP works in system, if it reboots, force reboot to TWRP and format Data and then reboot. That should fix it.
Without the kernel, seems to be stuck at logo.
No critcial bugs I have seen till now.
PS: always maintain a backup, I am not responsble if something goes wrong, like data loss.
Now, haven't tested it, but seems to me that any version other than vndklite-secure will have the 'camera in use' problem. So, try and let me know if that's the case.
Note - TWRP used is from a telegram group, which I couldn't share without the permission of owner. Search for it and you'll find it in A7 2018 telegram support group. TWRP version is 3.6.2.
Dmverity-disabler is to be flashed according to how to root guide only.
Tested on SM-A750F/DS (INS).
The reason why GSIs later than android 11 have a lockscreen bug is due to a vendor issue, in which Android 10
vendor of A7 2018 is not compatible with these GSI's. Apart from some Android 10 GSIs (like Havoc), lockscreen and everything works on these.
Abridged from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sm-a750fn-ds-unofficial-lineageos-17-1-gsi.4195065/
The img file for TWRP 3.6.2 is https://sourceforge.net/projects/batuhan-s-builds/files/TWRP/a7y18lte/recovery.img/download
To flash it as tar, use 7zip or any alternative to arcive as tar with default options, just make sure the image file remains as recovery.img, because it is present in this form on the phone partition. Tar can have any file name.
Source Telegram group for TWRP img file is @Exynos7885Updates
No sources have been specified by the developer.
For Indian SM-A750F, BL FILE IS INCLUDED

Note: For Camera in use error, always try to use vndklite versions of GSI, they have specific patch to work with some specific types of vendors. Currently looking for lockscreen fix, most probably, it is also a vendor related problem.
All of these are android 12 or 13 ones.
Possibility of usage:
Works Complete with magisk (including working Lockscreen): FLOS19.1(https://github.com/ChonDoit/treble_flos_patches/releases) [use (VNDK)lite secure ones, stability check needed]
no lockscreen : AncientOS S,ProtonAOSP 12.4.1, ProjectBlaze12.1, LineageOS19.1, LineageOS 20.0 TD-based VNDKLite(no bluetooth), pHH A12.1 GSI (secure), OctaviOS(vndklite), Evolution X 13 vndklite (no bluetooth), Miku UI 13 (no bluetooth), Pixel Experience Plus 13 (VNDK)lite, (no bluetooth),
with 'camera in use': ArrowOS 12.1, CherishOS, DotOS, Pixel Extended 13, Pixel OS 13
Don't boot at all: CorvusOS, BlissOS, Crdroid, ProjectAwaken 415, DerpFest A13
Android 13 GSI's have a problem with bluetooth that allow connection but no audio to go to headset.

where can you get twrp 3.6.2 for a750?

I have the latest stock firmware. Do I have to downgrade?
Did your phone has the latest firmware when you installed GSI ROM? Did you downgrade the firmware?
Also are banking apps like GPay work on GSI ROMS?

No you don’t have to downgrade, just use the older 2020 Update BL file.
You can use UPI if you can securize the gsi and follow the steps of fixing safetynet. Search them

Can you update the BL file file from 2020?

No, updating with later BL's can cause issue with custom recoveries.
