Download this: https://goo.gl/6yDDgq
go to /system/priv-app, create empty folder named "Pixel Launcher" and give 0644 permission. Then put downloaded apk into this folder and give 0644 permission to apk.
Reboot and you have Pixel Launcher :good:
this one is Pixel Launcher "Black Edition", i prefer this because black is battery friendly

Do you need root to do this? I can't find the folder /system/priv-app at all on my phone...

Have you tried Root explorer.
Download Root Explorer, find the address system / app / and delete the file launcherpro.apk.

First install root exlplorer than if you have downloaded launcher pro plus.apk on PC move it to SD than open root explorer go to your SD copy the file you want go to system/app mount as R/W and paste the launcher pro plus file than REBOOT after the phone boots you can delete the old file ENJOY

hey here is the simplest way to do it. first off all go to the market, download " system app remover" then using task manager kill ur 'launcher pro' now go to sys app remover and uninstall launcher pro. then load launcher pro plus. to be extra safe add the ADW launcher then remover launcher pro and install launcher pro pluss and then remove ADW launcher
install titanium ... find out LAUNCHER PRO in "backup/restore" .. tap on it .. tap on UNISNTALL..!!
there s many of them in market to uninstall system apps.. but i prefer titanium coz it is useful in sum other doings too..!!
Use root explorer and then navigate to system/apps
There scroll down to launcher pro and delete it
And copy the new launcher pro or install it from my files
But make sure you are in read/write mode

i think the easier way for a rookie is to just do it with titanium backup
Easiest:
Download ROOT MANAGER.
Than in main menu go to: System apps -> App Remover - find LauncherPRO.apk and remove it
Download Root Uninstaller from Market!
It's free!
Lol there is no LauncherPro plus file you just have to enter your plus code in the menu !
it is easy from cmd using adb
copy your launcher to SD card adn just open cmd in your machine (you must remember that you need to have dbug mode on)
adn wright such command:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
rm /system/app/launcherpro.apk
cp /sdcard/launcherproplus.apk /system/etc/launcherproplus.apk
reboot
exit
and it is done
POST 2
download a app called
SYSTEM APP REMOVER
then install
n remove any sysrem app you want
doesn't work for me...
root explorer says that the file can't be removed because it is read only
any suggestions?

[MOD] Phoenix OS 2.0.0 Playstore and Root with SuperSU

Trick to get play store and root on Phoenix OS 2.0.0
After installation replace system.IMG in phoenix os directory with this: https://mega.nz/#!rYBRlbLY]https://mega.nz/#!rYBRlbLY
Decryption key: 4x2UmG4Xq0r96u_7h_PwfqC5OjQNHR_Gv88fIL1d2BA
Extract it using any zip or 7z software
then download MicroG apps from here and install them all except MicroG store: https://microg.org/download.html
Give root access.
Then download google play store from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/
Rename play store.apk to Phonesky.apk
After that download lucky patcher from here: MOD Edit :-Links Removed as per Rule 6. Do Not Post or Request Warez. XDA Forum Rules
Now install google play store as normal apk.
Then open settings, go to accounts, add account, google.
Sign in into it.
After that open lucky patcher and give root permission and click on rebuild and install below.
Then go to downloads and select the play store apk (Phonesky.apk) and install it as system app and reboot.
After reboot open play store and use it.
Will try to make it more simple ASAP
How can i get root permission?
On phoenixos release it doesn't have root access
Have your system image root access?
Hi
The file is not on MEGA (file no longer exist). Can you reup please?
Thanks
Almost there. I dont get the second last step "...and click on rebuild and install below". Where is "rebuild" option ?
Edit: Also I wasn't able to sign in after installing play store the first time, it just hung on "Just a sec...".

Don't wait anymore. visit their website you will have the solution. :laugh::good:
Well this solution works but you get msg from YouTube or twitch telling you need play services. I think microg is not 100% compatible with all apps.
Here is what you can do assuming you're rooted:
install lucky patcher, download from apkmirror playservices and framework compatible with your hardware, run lucky and click on rebuild, go to your download folder, click on playservices and choose install as normal APK, not system app, don't reboot yet, choose now framework and install as system app, reboot and login to your account. I used it also with latest 7.1 64b.. Enjoy

Nova Plus Emu 5 Android 7, Gyrosacope enabled?

Hello:
I have a Huawei Nova Plus with Emui 5 Android 7 B350.
I have the Bootloader unlocked and TRWP installed.
I have installed the .xml file in the PERMISSION folder, I have given the 644 xml file and it is not recognized by the gyroscope.
I've made it work with xposed, but I'm not interested in having the root phone.
When uninstalling root, xposed stops working ...
Any way to emulate the gyroscope without having root? I can install zip files
Greetings and thanks.

PhoenixOS v2.5.9.375 Google Play Services will not Update

Yesterday, I installed PhoenixOS v2.5.9.375 on an old laptop, and I must say that I really like the Android experience on a laptop that I thought was too old to be good for anything. One problem that I am having though is that I cannot update Google Play Services which is preventing some of the GApps that I want to use from working. I tried using the instructions in this thread to fix the problem, but sadly they do not work with this version of the OS, and I get an error message saying "App not installed" when I try to fix it this way. I also so this, which looked promising until I learned that it requires a dual boot into Windows, and I am using PhoenixOS exclusively on my laptop, meaning that this is ruled out as an option.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having the same issue with my Google Play Services, but the one I provided in the thread works with Google Play Games at least. I wonder why Phoenix OS comes with version number beginning with 070... This version is for x86 and for Android 4.0+ nodpi (according to apkmirror). Shouldn't Phoenix OS come with 270 or 480 since Phoenix OS 64-bit runs on Android 7.1.1 (32-bit runs on 5.1)? If so, my instinct is telling me that we have to forcefully install the updated Google Play Services (probably along with Google Play Store and Google Services Framework) to get it working correctly. This cold probably be done with root, so at least we know we can fully root the OS and work our way from there.
I have that problem also before... I downloaded the updated Google Play service in apkmirror, tried to manually installed it but still it wont install... But what I did in order to fix it is first to disable the Play Service on the App Settings and then I use Root Explorer to locate the location of the Gplayservice which is /system/priv-app/GmsCore. so what I did i rename the GPlayService that I downloaded into GmsCore.apk and then replace the app on /system/priv-app/GmsCore and change permission to "rw-r-r". and re-enabling back the GPlayService on that App Settings and reboot.... at Viola its fix... now I dont have an error on it anymore...

If this really works, then I will update my thread. What variant and version did you download? Can you provide a bit more information?
Thank you for the info, this looks very promising, please could you let us know which version you downloaded
Hi all,
This is how I got it working, several ways actually:
Using the toolkit http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=9661
Extract the system.img from the downloaded installation EXE or copy the system.img from your install directory
Make sure you download the GAPPS7.1 in the above post and put it in the \tools directory of the toolkit
Follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/repack
Copy the system.img back to your installed directory (C:\PhoenixOS)
Hacking it yourself
Download the latest GAPPS 7.1 PICO
Replace the APK in the GAPPS package over the ones installed on your PhoenixOS
Does this method require you to have a dual boot setup? Because I don't.
Android PC tool works!!
Used the PC tool and it worked flawlessly. On another note i have been trying to tinker with the OS and found out that the system cannot be mounted as r/w. Tried the command
Code:
su mount -o rw,remount /system
which gives me /dev/loop0 is write-protected mounting read-only. Is there any way fix to this.

Hi, I put the gapps in the tools directory, but I don't understand what you mean by follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/ repack. Am I supposed to make those folders? When I go to the unpack folder, just my system image is in there.

Pixel Dark Boot Animation

Does anyone happen to have a flashable copy of the Dark boot animation from the Pixel that works for the Mi 9? The one from the Pixel Experience ROM would be perfect, but I have no idea how to extract it myself.

use mt manager (recommended) apk or some root explorer
then go to the route
system / prouct / media
and there it is.
copy to your internal memory or insert what I send
remember, you must install magisk from twrp and give root permission to the root browser and do this
