List of working Android mods (recoveries, system mods, etc.) on the Pixel C

This aims to be a thread for posting confirmation of stuff that works on the Pixel C.
So far I can confirm the following to work:
- TWRP (thread here: Thread)
- SuperSU (Thread here: MFSK Modified Flashable Stock Kernel /w SuperSU 2.66 systemless)
- Xposed v79 arm64
- Viper4Android (Lolliviper)
That's just the stuff I tested/installed and works for me. Please anyone post their stuff! Thanks!
Stuff that works for me with root:
- CF.Lumen
- well .. Xposed, Lolliviper
Stuff that works for me with Xposed:
- Flat Style Bar Indicators
- Amplify

Adaway works perfectly as if there was any chance it wouldn't.
Flashify also works but is probably a bad idea to use.

There seems to be many version of lolliviper out there. Which version of lolliviper are you using? Would you please post a link or file?

Gravity box works, but one setting was screwing with my WiFi, not sure which one though.

Well decided to take the plunge w/ the dev discount today. Do you still need to use a modified kernel/boot.img with the newer beta supersu?

Currently running
-Xposed v80 SDK23 arm64
-Gravitybox (changed up my navigation bar, clock location, added full date to the status bar, power menu options) the internet traffic monitor does not work though
-Adaway (no surprise here)
-YouTube Adaway

This is pretty much my exact setup on my 6P. Glad to see this all works on the Pixel C as well. Will finally be rooting my C this week.
Thanks for reporting.

Unity Installer [TEMPLATE][Deprecated]

Unity is now deprecated. It's recommended to switch to MMT-Ex unless you absolutely need your mod to work in non-magisk environments
This is a developement thread for Unity (Un)Installer
Unity Installer allows the install/uninstall of a mod on any device regardless of root solution (or lack thereof) in use.
Compatibility:
Magisk 19+
Supersu
Rootless
Any other root solution (Like LOS Su)
See the Github Wiki for how to make your own unity module

You must have installed other modules, probably my deep_buffer Remover because this module does NOT touch your bluetooth settings. This module is simply a framework for other modules to utilize and edit audio policy and audio effect files on your system.

Don't know what to tell you man. All this mod does is copy certain configs to a magisk directory and then magisk symlink them to your system.
The only thing I can think is that you have a boot.img compatibility issue with magisk.

Good news guys. I finally found a fix for AM3D and Dolby Atmos to work 100% in enforcing on both MagiskSU/SuperSU, Magisk OR System install.
This will be available in the AudModLib v1.3 update I will be pushing soon. I'll obviously fix any more bugs or make any other additions in the meantime.

So this won't be an app, this will be as part of the script. It essentially makes a few things permissive and allows the appropriate things to be activated, those that effect AM3D and Atmos.

Hi. Thanks for the mod. If I download and install through magisk or even download through magisk I get installation error. Doesn't say why. I'm on Z5C Nougat and fully rooted. Thanks Kam

[UPDATED] Audio Modification Library
v2.3:
- Script addition to allow various audio mods working with SELinux Enforcing
- Remove (audmodlib)service.sh and replace with pos-fs-data(.d) audmodlib.sh, which should fix when root may be lost upon installing certain mods
Download
Previous Changelogs (Audio Modification Library):
HTML:
v2.2:
- Added audmodlib.sh post-fs-data.d script
- Fix selinux injection script to work for MagiskSU/SuperSU (system and systemless)
- Install script fixes
v1.1:
- Hotfix for bootloop issues on some devices
v1.0
- Initial Magisk release

[GUIDE][6/27/17] Magisk V13 + Rom + Passing SafetyNet + Working Modules for Pixel

I am creating this guide for Magisk v13 and working modules. Please let me know if there are additional ROMs that this guide works with, but I am trying to keep the steps as simple as possible.
Magisk Installation Instructions:
Download Latest PureNexus / PA ROM and follow those instructions
Boot into the ROM and go through the initial set up, at this point verify that SafetyNet is passing. If it is not you may need to factory reset and re-install your ROM.
Reboot into TWRP
Flash the attached modified Magisk-v13-Pixel (from Goodwin_c)
Flash the attached verified boot signer (from Chainfire)
Reboot the System
Uninstall the version of Magisk Manager that shows up in the drawer
Install the attached version of MagiskManager_v13_new5.apk (from Goodwin_c)
Open Magisk Manager (you may need to wait a bit, I had to clear it from my recents a few times before it launched and asked for file system permissions)
Go to the app settings and tick on Magisk Hide
Re-run SafetyNet and verify it's passing

Working Modules
I will create a video guide on how to modify modules to work with the Pixel phones until Magisk is fully updated to support Pixel.
Modules I have modified to work with Pixel:
Emoji One - systemlessly replaces emojie font with Emoji One.
Tethering Enabler - enables tethering on phones where it is disabled by the manufacturer/provider.

Is v13 working for you. I tried it when he first released it. Very glitchy. Went back to 12. A few of us did. That and we couldn't restore a backup with TB.

These still looks like the ones @goodwin_c created. If that's the case, then yes, it's very glitchy and you are better off sticking to v12. It is a good starting point though and hopefully he can get an updated v13 working soon!

What rom are you using? The issue I came across that Goodwin confirmed was that root seemed to work, but apps like Titanium Backup didnt work properly. Are you running any apps that require root? And do they seem to perform correctly?
It also looks like he released a v13_new5.apk on his AFH account. Are you still using new1? Just curious if the new5 version might fix any previous issues.

Yeah, I haven't tried Titanium backup, I'm using Solid Explorer and Greenify with root and they seem to work alright. I am still using new1, I will update to new5 and play with Titanium to see if I can get it to backup and reinstall an app

Only custom rom? Anyone tried on stock image?

Excuse me, may I know is there a thread by Goodwin_c publishing the modified Magisk?
I just want to keep updated to his modification.
I have been using his modified Magisk v12, but finding it from RR thread.
There is no way to know if it is updated or not.

The zip failed to flash for me. Couldn't unpack boot image.
Pixel running PN 7.1.1, twrp RC1.

I'll update the post date in brackets when I make updates here. Goodwin_c does not have his own thread, so I've just been monitoring his android file host account. The original poster has not updated or maintained his guide from the RR thread, so I created a new one to be as up-to-date as possible and include modules as I modify them.

I've included both of those. I basically have been using beyond compare to compare the arise module that works with pixel to other modules and re-zipping them and testing with my device.

I see. Thanks.
Btw do you know the difference between v1 and v5 apk?
It seems MagiskHide is gone on v5?

I have tried Magisk-V13 on Pixel-XL with stock ROM.
I haven't tried it with stock kernel, since SafetyNet won't pass (as far as I understand).
Tested with Elemental-X + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet does not pass. App always says "cannot use Play service"
Tested with Kirisakura-Rebase-1.36 + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet passes.
MagiskManager-v5 does not come with MagiskHide, so I assume it cannot handle SafetyNet.
Both MagiskManager v1 and v5 loads very slowly.
Before the UI could be used normally (it means Magisk is loaded?), ROOT cannot be obtained.
So those boot-up root-required action would probably fail.

What are you all doing after root?

Was hoping to learn what folks are using root for. I am using substratum but would love to have an advanced power menu but wasn't sure where to look. Would also love some ideas of what others are using root for, for ideas. Thanks!

Doesn't look like viper works for oreo either? So what yall do on oreo after rooting?

Tasker, adaway, root Explorer and deleting unnecessary apps?
There are a lot of needs...
And viper4android. But unfortunately I didn't install it (I'm used to use the Magisk module)
Anybody is running viper?

What are folks using for advanced power menu on oreo?

I was rooted on 7.1.1 for Substratum. I am on 8.0 and unrooted since Substratum works without root on Oreo.

Oreo, rooted.
•Magisk + testing Magisk modules that might work with Oreo
•RootExplorer
•Android pay
•Titainium Backup
•Light Flow + Light Flow legacy
•Substratum (legacy)
•Kernel Auditor
•Waiting on a working TWRP doesn't absolutely need root, but an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root seems to go together.
And whatever else fun I find to mess around with.
Root is a must for me. I like the full control of the device I own. And again, it's fun!

Yeah... I was going to say. Why root at this point? The only thing I can think of is doing a Titanium Backup so I can backup the apps WITH the data. I don't know of any app that can backup the apps with data of an unrooted phone, do you? Other than that... I dunno. What you think?

I don't want a phone that the vendor or carrier control.
I own it and I scold be able to do what I want.
The only thing on a phone that should ever be locked it the radio partition so they can control how the device accesses the network.
Other than that, leave my phone alone.

Greenify's best battery-saving features require both root and Xposed.
I also really like the GMS Doze Magisk module for battery savings.
And I never want to do without the ability to use EX Kernel Manager or Kernel Adiutor to squeeze some more battery and performance out of my device via scheduler and governor options. Some of the options for this phone (hexacore mode, adaptive low-memory killer) are pretty intriguing and can't be edited otherwise.

Your philosophy is flawed...
Xposed just being installed is an enormous battery drain in it's current incarnation...
You're better off without Xposed if you're looking for battery

Xposed Beta for 8.1 (SDK27)

Xposed was released for Oreo! Been so long don't know where to start.
EDIT: (I was just being dumb)
Grab the systemless version. Easiest way is through Magisk. Just make sure your on 15.2 or grab it via the link below.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

I think the best method is using the systemless version for magisk, I just tried it and it works.
Simpy go into modules and you will see the sdk27 version at the very bottom: tap on it, you see there is an updated xposed manager apk made for the new magisk version.
Download the apk, install the module, reboot, install apk, reboot.
Works with no problems

Enjoy

I feel dumb but I don't see xposed anywhere in the modules section of the Magisk Manager app.
Is there some other way I should be finding modules? I click on the hamburger menu and then downloads and there's about 30 or so listed.
---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------
Never mind. I figured out I had to be on Magisk 15.2. I was on 14.5.
So anyway I downloaded the Xposed Installer that is linked in Magisk Manager and installed it. Then I installed Xposed inside of Magisk. The only problem is the Xposed Installer crashes every time I click on a module to download. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I confirm, I don't know if it's caused by Magisk or because it's just a beta...
Anyway there is a workaround, instead of downloading the module from xposed manager, download the apk of the module from internet (official repo website or from whatever you want), because when you are going to install and enable the modules there are no problems, and after a reboot they're working.

Updated op to reflect install options. Happy modding everyone!

Success! ?
.. now for that network speed in the status bar hehe

has anyone succeeded in using xprivacy? I tried, it said xprivacy is not enabled.

Yeah I did everything the same as the way you installed nougat Xposed systemlessly. Also the framework module caused a lot of choppiness on my phone so I uninstalled it anyways

Just a head's up that MinMinGuard causes my Pixel to start crashing like crazy

I have been thinking of installing this since last night, but with it still in beta and modules still needing fixed for 8.1 I just can't see any reason (other than something new for me to play with) that will benefit me enough to deal with the SafetyNet failure.

How is Xposed for 8.1 now? Any updates on this? Thanks! @sliding_billy

I am happily enjoying the stock ROM on my XL and I keep the same installed on my wife's Pixel. I spent years swapping out custom ROMs on various devices and expected to do the same when I got the PIxels (very shortly after released almost 2 years ago). After the initial shortage of custom ROMs (due to the new OS engineering method) subsided and plenty came out, I realized there was nothing I was missing enough to deal with running custom and not being able to do a monthly update that takes me literally less than 10 minutes. Besides not missing anything, there is pretty much no bloat I need to get rid of, and the device still runs great even with a handful of "always on" apps. Probably best for you to look at the development sub-forum and do your research there and ask questions.

haven't used xposed in years. Is it still worth it with the recent android OS's?

That's like asking, "which tastes better, vanilla or chocolate?" Make a twrp backup, and give it a try, what you like, another may hate. For me, it's fun to add features when I'm using a rom that is lacking in that department.
