Dunno where else to put this but so far none of the unofficial xposed solutions support the pixel phones because no one seems to want to work with the A/B file layout so if anyone here wants to pick up a project id greatly appreciate that one and i know ive seen a number of others asking for it in different magisk and unofficial xposed threads. Thanks for reading my post and potentially contributing to a fairly noble cause.
Unknown if this is a pixel success. Anyone who knows please do reply.

Doesn't support A/B partition layout yet. No version of xposed except magisk systemless will even flash and even then the magisk systemless xposed also doesn't seem to work right for pixel phones yet

The couple of xposed modules I tried seemed OK (Greenify, youtube adaway...). I just didnt like it because it seemed to break Facebook and Facebook Messenger Apps (caused constant crashes for some reason) and also broke SafetyNet too, which defeats the purpose of even using Magisk. But overall you're most likely correct the modules still need to be updated for Nougat.
Damn...and I was so thrilled when the Nougat version came out.
Guess I stick with rooted Oreo was thinking about reinstall nougat cause of framework but sounds like it's not that great for pixel

Yeah xposed was my main reason for rolling back but for me none of the modules were being read as properly activated. Its fine though because I have my custom ROM back since there aren't any for Oreo yet.
A thread at pixel xl is saying yes and no with various install methods
UPDATE: added pie controls from xposed to my pixel running RR ; )
Resolved: Systemless Xposed (SDK25) module in magisk now flashes and sticks without fail. Installing the modded Xposed provided in the module description allows the framework/app/modules to interface properly. With both the Systemless framework and the modded app all modules updated as of this month will work
If you haven't already replaced SuperSU with Magisk, do that.

I highly recommend switching to magisk at least until we get a proper non magisk Xposed and this is coming from someone who has used SuperSU their whole life

No nougat only, Xposed is not supported on Android Oreo at all yet
I have a question. I want to root my phone (upgraded from oreo to pie, stock), but i'm not sure what should i do. Should i use oreo rooting instructions? I can't find any tutorial for rooting on pie. I don't want to change my rom, i just want to have a root and be able do use the magick and modules that's all. It would be nice to have step by step instruction.
I know i have to unlock my bootloader first at htcdev, then install twrp (not sure which twrp and if the installation is same as on oreo?)
In the past i rooted one phone but it was completely different and i almost bricked my device, because some idiot posted wrong link on the forum... There is so many versions of everything and i'm feeling lost in it.
I hope this helps, but Pie is still very new for the HTC U11. Some even are saying that clean flashes of the Pie RUU have flash, camera, and wifi issues. I am currently running the amazing RR-P rom (which is based on pie), but it runs on the latest Oreo RUU. I have no issues with the ROM and I get insane SoT even without battery savings. I am excited for the future of this phone, since I love the hardware navbar (never liked the on-screen one / though my HTC m8 is still a boss, and even the forums there have a very solid Lineage 17.0 (android 10) working on it).
https://dl.twrp.me/ocn/
Above is the official link to the US HTC u11 TWRP recoveries. I don't think (to be safer than sorry) these are 100% compatible over the PIE firmware though.
I checked HTCdev, and it doesn't seem to have any difference in the instructions in unlocking the bootloader. No mention of Nougat or Oreo, so I would assume there's no difference in doing the same with Pie.
I flashed my U11 after Pie update, working fine, no problems with flash, wifi or anything else (CID: HTC__034)
1. Unlock bootloader via htcdev
2. Flash latest TWRP from the official site. Instructions here for example: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
3. Flash Magisk (also from official Magisk site)… that was a little trickier, since TWRP can't mount the encrypted partitions. The workaround is to copy the Magisk ZIP onto an SD Card and flash it from there while in TWRP.
4. Enjoy.
I decided to root this U11 for the first time, since I don't expect any futur software updates coming form HTC.
Thank you for all your help, i'll try this out today. :good:
So i did everything and it's working but i have one problem. After installing magisk i tried to install some modules, and one of them caused bootloop and i was unable to delete it, and also i was unable to install module uninstaller (fail). So i had to do factory reset - any solution to avoid this kind of problems in future?
Also i installed xposed successfully, but none of modules was working..

I have no answers, but as u can see a rooted pie is problematic, hence the many people reverting back to oreo and or nougat, but some people somehow make it work. Not me I could not downgrade quick enough after rooting, unrooted pie worked great, but my many 'need for root apps' did not , so back to oreo for me . Just my 2 cents!! Good luck.

I found many working apps. The biggest problem is "substratum", especially when it comes to changing navbar buttons. But gravitybox is working, and I'm happy with it. Thanks for your help
My rooted Pie works fine, but I didn't install Substratum or Xposed.
I'm quite out of touch. My OG Pixel was on Android 9, rooted with working Android Pay but yesterday it rebooted and now is unrooted on Android 10. TWRP sems to be gone too. Magisk manager says Magisk is not installed. My phone can't make contactless payments either.
I want a rooted phone
I want Google Pay
I don't care about being on the latest version
What are my best options?
Thanks

Did Android 10 get beamed into your phone from an invading alien force?:silly:
You can use the last factory from 12/5/19. You can use the latest Pixel Dust which is staying up-to-date with latest kernels and security patches and works great! Also Evolution X, though the latest version may have serious bugs - still trying to figure it out.
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img for TWRP, then install zip.
Install latest Magisk, then for Google Pay to work, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81356303&postcount=61
There is an install guide on the Marlin/XL forum that I've always followed, though using Sailfish files rather than Marlin.
Or wait a couple of months for them to tweak it a bit?
I only run Magik and not Xposed, not that it matters!
I'm not rooted, but I've been running R since the first public ßeta.
It's been the smallest update so far in a long time for Android. Very little has changed, compared to previous major version upgrades.
If you can root (and from what I read i think you can with Magisk), make a full backup and try it.

I don't really know what you'd be waiting for. I don't think a non-rooted person would notice much in terms of drawbacks. Magisk modules level, there were some issues... but I think most things are getting worked out. Xposed technically works, but more than half of my modules broke in a way that probably won't be fixed for a while. I still feel like I'm at a net-negative in terms of phone features. A11 brought little and broke a lot of my QoL tweaks that used Xposed.
I make no claims about SafetyNet as I use no apps that even check it.
I think A11 has been released formally by google and most of issues have been fixed or addressed.
I used magisk and edxposed. That's not a problem for me(I used Edxposed for fingerface only). Regarding of safetynet issue, it also has solution to make it pass by magisk modules and kernel side.
Until now, I'm happy with A11.
I ended up doing a full wipe and upgrade to Android 11 Oct 2020.
I have Magisk running with the SQL Lite mods for Google Pay and obviously I have root so I'm basically back where I was on Android 10.
I hadn't use Xposed yet and I don't know if I will yet. I was using Viper Audio mod but I don't know if I noticed a major difference, mostly I just stream bluetooth in my SUV.
So far, so good.
I tried it and reverted back to 10 - as mentioned didn't gain much but broke a lot. Even in stock form I can't get videos to load a subtitle file because of storage permissions and what not. A tweaked out install of 10 is faaaar nicer imo so that's what I'm running, probably until a new phone comes out sadly.

can i ask how you upgraded to A11? Im on 10 rooted with magisk and keep hearing mixed messages on upgrading. And is it necessary to wipe? I really don't want to.
A11 is not too bad, but as others have said little things here and there that break. Like for me I listen to SiriusXM app on mobile and for some odd reason it will stop playing all of a sudden and close. It's like the aggressive memory management kills the app for no reason. I even have battery optimization turned off and still does it.
Thinking about moving back to A10 from August, not really much I have to have to stick with latest A11 updates.

Flash the factory image, but remove the -w in the flash-all file. Then in Magisk Manager switch tot he beta channel and patch the boot image with that. Flash it and you're done.

Ok so I shouldn't install it via the ota? I keep getting the pop up to update every day.
Does using Magisk to dl / install the OTA, then patch the non-live and newly flashed partition, then finally rebooting not work?
When I was rooted that was always the easiest way.
And based upon the post 2 above this one, Magisk now supports A11 without ẞeta, right?

How is 11 for you going so far, I am thinking in reverting back to 10, battery is awful on 11
Hello,
Is there any OnePlus 7 Pro custom ROM with no GApps , and the bootloader can be re-locked after the ROM flashed?
Why re-lock the bootloader?
- I don't give a way phones, in case i lost the phone.
Try LinageOS?
- I did, can't re-lock the bootloader, because they don't load the signing keys into the verified boot as GrapheneOS and CalyxOS do.
If there's a ROM out there, please tell me where, if not, I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank You
Did you find anything since this post? I've been playing with LOS 17.1 and 18.1 on my OP7Pro but can't get Safetynet to pass when I have Magisk on, and have issues trying to put TWRP on with LOS, as LOS hijacks the recovery. I'd like to get my banking apps and some other apps like Lyft to work without having google know my every keystroke and geolocation. I'm close with LOS 18.1, but am missing those 2 apps ability to work. I might try 17.1 again if that's going to make things easier.
From your post it looks like GrapheneOS and CalyxOS might be options. What's wrong with those OS? Will those not work with MicroG?

Hello,
First, Now I'm sure 100% that OnePlus 7 Pro is supporting verified boot and bootloader relock, but to achieve that, you have to load the signing public key used to sign the ROM during its build and it should be user build not debug mode build (ex. for debug mode build is the offecial LineageOS) to the phone verified boot partition.
I found this divestos [dot] org, but still not tested nor working on Oneplus 7 Pro. I tried but my phone never load the OS.
Now, I'm trying to go through the build steps from official LineageOS website to do my own build and do it user build, sure using my own signing keys, I hope it will work.
For GraphenOS and CalyxOS, unfortunately they work only with Google Pixel phones, ironic, isn't?, Lyft might work with you if you decided to go that way, because i tried Uber and it worked just fine with MicroG, but my banking app did not work, not because of microG or the OS, but because the app itself design to detect google play store and if you login or not, and if the app downloaded from the play store itself or not.
I hope my answer gave you some help.

I actually took a senior member's' advice to just use Hydrogen (the Chinese (de-googled) version of Andriod) on my OP7Pro. So far it's working well and I just have to get things set up, but I'm rooted and Magisk works using the boot.img patch and hiding the app in settings. No need for Microg as it is a signed OS (or something like that). At the end of the day, I just needed something that worked right and didn't have big G tracking my moves. Some small tweaks and I'll at least have Hydrogen 10 working right. I might play with HOS11 after I get the backup functionality working correctly. I'm tired of downloading a ton of apps and getting all of my logins done and email accounts set up, only to make a tweak on the system and have to start over again.
Hope the custom LOS you're working on works for you. Thanks for getting back. This is a learning process for me. Take care.

The same here, I hate this tracking and the feel that there is someone always looking over my shoulder .
Could you please tell me, where did you get HydrogenOS, I might give it a try.
Thank You, have a blessed life.
Best bet would be to run a debloat script. Universal Debloater (found here or on gitlab I believe) has the options for Google and OnePlus. Since you can use USB Debugging without unlocking bootloader, this might be the best option for you.
They will show the apps that are getting removed and a little description if you open up the list files in a text editor (notepad or whatever).

I just did an internet search (duckduckgo) and found a website with the complete zip file. Not sure if this is the one, but they offer the download for 10. (Mods can remove this link if I'm not allowed to share links with downloads) In any case, you can dig and find something if you chose to go this route. There are probably more HOS 11 downloads as of late since it's newer. I just wasn't able to get the Magisk app to work right on the 11 verison. That may have changed with the most recent update of Magisk. A de-bloat tool may work on OOS too. I just haven't tried it on OOS yet.
