Is there anyway to remap Active Edge/Squeeze feature on Pixel 3 without a PC?

The methods I've read for Pixel 2 require a PC, but I just don't want setup ADB and all that noise i'd like an app or something to just do it for me without the help of a PC.

There's a magisk module that does it if you have magisk installed.

No I don't and i'd imagine that needs a unlocked bootloader too?

Yup. Unlocking is super simple if you want to do it. Google has all the tools you need and directions here...

Ya, I've unlocked bootloaders a bunch of time was just hoping there was an app that would do it all.

If you want to do something like remap physical buttons (which active edge counts as) you'll need to either give permissions to an app via adb or you'll need root. Either way you'll need a computer.

Already unlocked bootloader on my pixel 4 XL

Followed the same instructions here: https://www.the***********.com/unlock-bootloader-google-pixel-3-xl-guide/
and it worked. I know this is probably obvious to everyone on this forum, but just in case anyone was wondering if the version from google was easily unlock able out of the box, it is. I was able to get the device early as a product advocate. Being that not a lot of people on XDA have the device yet, I may be the first person to unlock their Pixel 4 XL? :angel:

I don't understand what you need a link for. Isn't it like every other device? Turn it on fastboot mode, hook up to your PC, check to make sure it's read, type in fastboot oem unlock, boom. Am I missing something?

Have you tried booting Magisk on it yet?

Did you have to turn it on and enable OEM unlocking in Developer options first or nah?

did you try root it ?
mine is coming today
it shipped last night before i went to bed lol

please system dump

I just got my Pixel 4 XL. I want to root, but without the system image how can I get the boot image to patch?

And then fastbooting the image that magisk patched :good:

For those asking, no I haven't tried to root it yet. I just wanted to start playing with the device and signing in to all my stuff. No point in doing that first without unlocking the bootloader cause just like with any other phone that will factory reset everything. Better to unlock the device first before you start customizing it to you liking. Most likely root can be achieved without wiping again.

What command are you using? I tried fastboot flashing unlock and it just shows the help menu and fastboot oem unlock gives an error. On win 10 here. That link is incomplete?
ETA: I ended up using a tool and setting it to pixel/ pixel xl and it worked but its all for not, I think I'm returning the phone. I just am not happy with the way the face unlock works with ambient display, it ends up unlocking the phone when I just want to check my notifications lol. C'est la vie!

RedMagic 3s software version?

This is so weird but i noticed it. My rm3s shiped with na global rom ig but im from India.

How do you find the phone so far? I'm in the US and waiting for it tomorrow. Already returned ASUS ROG 2.

Even I was curious about this... I unlocked bootloader and was in need of the ROM for root.. Was confused and so put my activities on hold...
Now that I see one more device with V1.04, I will resume to root the device

I wouldn't mess around at all with your rm3s. We have no way of recovering properly because we have no unbrick tool. Leave it as is. I have a non booting rm3sz that is only 3 days old. Its a $500 paperweight at this point? Might just sell it for parts.

Agreed... I will not mess up with the device if it already rooted... Given that we do not have the unbrick tool.. I am wondering why we would need to go back to stock with locked bootloader? When returning the device to nubia for support? Ignore it as they will be able to identify if the device was unlocked or rooted... So waste of efforts..

TWRP on the P4a?

I was wondering if anyone knew about the partition schemes and whether there is enough room on the boot image to install custom recovery on the P4a?
The Pixel 3A did not have enough room on the RAM disk on the boot image. So installing TWRP, even a stripped down version compressed, on the P3a was a no-go.
Custom recovery was not necessary on the P3a. Just having and unlocked bootloader and root via Magisk gives a lot of options including custom ROMs.
However, I'm still curious if custom recovery will ever come to the P4a?

I know, it looks like TWRP has been doing a long slow death spiral.
We have TWRP on Android 10 for the Pixel C tablet. But of course among other things, there's no A/B partitions and Google abandoned support for the device a while ago.

Might be a while, pixel 3+ devices haven't had a 100% working TWRP for a long time.
They can still sideload ROMs and patch boot images with adb/fastboot
I'll miss this moving on from my 2xl. Nice to flash and update things without needing a PC

Someone correct me if I am wrong but there are no factory images yet for the 4a so no rooting with Magisk until then?

Is it at least possible to unlock the bootloader right away? Is that just standard fastboot ADB procedure or is there something Pixel specific(first one)

Just unlocked my Pixel4a using the standard ADB commands. Will say that OEM Unlocking stayed grayed out, until I connected to my WiFi (No SIM) and let the phone connect to the mother-ship.

yea i believe you are correct, i think same steps for the pix4 can be applied on the 4a https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-4-root-magisk/
im not sure if there are other ways to get the boot img but id rather just wait for the factory images to release & mess with it then. gonna make a cronjob script to watch / notify me once its up.

If I get around to it this weekend, I may just do a rom dump to extract the boot.img. Haven't done it in a while. I'm still waiting for some screen protectors to arrive before I mess with my phone.

I can't find them either.

Isn't Android 11 going to make it more difficult to hide root anymore? I am tempted to root, but heard (or read) somewhere that with android 11 that it may not be worth it as any app (or something like that) will be able to see and not work.

This is the first phone I've owned that I think I'll be satisfied with stock. Ad guard does everything I need as ad away did. And it doesn't need root. Everything is fast! Now I don't have to hack Google pay.

or maybe I'm completely wrong and your drivers are wrong
according to your other post you have a nokia, you could try :
Download Nokia USB Driver for Windows (Latest Driver)
Download the latest and original Nokia USB Driver to quickly connect any Nokia Smartphone and tablet to the Windows Computer.

or if that doesn't work try using a virtual machine and install ubuntu and try, "sudo apt install fastboot"

I could try the HTC U11+, because it's Qualcomm, but I'm not too sure if I could do the Desire 12+.
The reason being the Desire is a Mediatek device, I herd it's difficult compiling twrp for mediatek so I'm not going to risk it.
But for the HTC U11, I could possibly make one. Do you have the stock firmware or do I have to go inside a sketchy website like : https://htcstockrom.com/htc-u11 ? If you have the stock firmware pls pm me the details.

A permanent TWRP for the OnePlus Nord would be great! At the moment there exist only a version which can only be run via fastboot sideloading. After reboot TWRP is gone.
