I didn't even have to reapply settings. Everything running fine. Hoping the transition to Android 12 is as smooth (though with the UI changes I doubt it)
[MOD][MAGISK][ANDROID 11] Addon Features for Pixel Devices - Pixel 4 XL Thread
- Thread starter Typhus_
- Start date
FWIW, the systemUI features module is working with the October '21 update with my Pixel 4XL.
Yeah I believe that one is once again only security updates. They are saving all our actual changes for the Android 12 drop which should be around Halloween
Actually, I may have found a problem. Pressing the power button and choosing "Restart", my Pixel 4xl says "Restarting in safe mode". If I disable the SystemUI mod, system restarts normally. Can you test on yours?
Yes, I'm here. But, as I've said earlier I'm currently really busy IRL and waiting for the opportunity to start making a similar MOD for 12.
Anyway, that behavior is weird but it could be just a wrong ID pointing to that string. Nothing major, I believe.
Cheers!

Aw! That would have been a perfect opportunity to see if rebooting in safe mode automatically disables all installed magisk modules! I read somewhere that was built into magisk.
It is built into Magisk. What you have to do is boot into Safe Mode and then reboot into regular mode. Once you're rebooted all magisk mods should be disabled and you can then delete the offending module. Off course you can also delete modules with adb as well.
For the adb command: adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
Boot to Bootloader
Connect phone and run this command
Start the phone and wait for the command to run

Thank you for your work on this. It is truly awesome.
Do you think it would be possible to simulate immersive mode (hiding status bar on certain apps) with this mod from what you have saw regarding Android 11?
Thank you bro. Because I did it myself and got the same results. I thoughts maybe I had reached an error. I see now I'm not alone. Thank for the Swift response as we all wait.
That's an awesome ADB command to have bookmarked! Thanks!
Hey OP, I hope you had a good weekend and are doing well! I know right now you're currently busy IRL and otherwise but when you get a chance to read this, I have 2 feature requests for A12. 1) would you consider removing both the Carrier name in the status bar on lock screen as well as in the QS page? 2) would you consider removing the build number in the QS page? Thanks!
Sure, I may try to look if those features exist on a A12 custom and try to port them.
Hey, i just noticed in the following video

So what is this? This is a Magisk module that adds the following features to any Pixel 3, 4 or 5 device running on Android 11:
- Forces Google Sans font system wide
- 63 Accent colors
- 12 Icon shapes
- 22 Fonts
- Wallpapers Breel 2019; 2020 & 2020a
- 9 different Dark Styles
- Adds 2 button mode navigation (it was removed on Android 11 but I think some users like that navigation mode, so I add it)
- Background Blur options
- Blur Intensity options
- Adaptive sound options
- Navigation bar options (hide pill, reduce keyboard bottom space size, hide assist handles)
- SystemUI Tuner options
- Rounded corner options
- QS Rows x Columns options
- QS Footer Drag Handle options (Default, Accent based, Hidden)
- Option to show more icon notifications on staus bar
- Forces Basic Attestation thus making ctsProfile true by just enabling Magisk Hide
- Rom Control app (to setup all options available that you cannot using just Styles & Wallpapers)
Everything can be controlled using Styles & Wallpapers and also Rom Control app.
This MOD will probably work on any AOSP, or close to it, ROMs.
Get it here: Android_11_Addon_Features_for_Pixel_V8.zip
Just a note, this module already includes a SafetyNet fix, so if you're using another module for SafetyNet, please remove it since I don't know if that couldn't cause issues.
For all users already running Android 12 please go to THIS THREAD.

Exclusive features downloads:
Android_11_Addon_Features_For_Pixel_V13.zip -> "Harmless" module that works on any Pixel device running on STOCK ROM, much like the "universal mod" shared above, but with a Rom Control app version that has more options. The "exclusive features" options won't do anything if the SystemUI module, shared next, isn't installed. If your going to try these exclusive features module, install this one and not the one shared above. The SaftetyNet is also included on this module, so once again, don't try to use any other SafetyNet module since it could break things.
Android_11_SystemUI_for_Addon_Features_V10.zip -> This is "THE" module! This module adds all xml and smali changes into SystemUI. Without this module the "exclusive features" won't work. Also, this module could be responsible for breaking boot if it fails to work at your end. I've ran several tests on my device (a Pixel 4a) and didn't face any issues but, since this module replaces stock SystemUI for a modded SystemUI, you could run into problems if some other module tries to do the same or it's simply incompatible with it. This module was updated to match latest Android 11 October 2021 build.
Android_11_SystemUI_for_Addon_Features_V9.zip -> Use this version ONLY if you're still running any Android 11 build between June and September 2021!
Notes regarding the "exclusive version" for Pixel devices:
- DO NOT, I'll repeat, DO NOT flash "SystemUI module" zip on any other ROM besides stock. It won't work! If you want those extra features on your current ROM you will have to port them yourself. I explain how to later on this post.
- Make sure that you're able to run adb shell as root before rebooting your device.
- If something goes wrong after flashing "SystemUI module", like if your device doesn't boot or something stupid, connect your phone to your PC during boot and run this:
Code:adb shellCode:suCode:rm -rf /data/adb/modules/Modded_SystemUI && reboot
- If you forgot to enable the ability to run adb shell as root, and if your device is on a "non-boot" state, the only way you can fix that is to remove all Magisk modules you have installed. That can be achieved by running the following commands during boot:
Code:adb shellCode:magisk --remove-modules- If none of the above methods work to get your device booting, then you have to boot into safe mode. By doing so, Magisk will disable all modules for you (it doesn't uninstall them, just disables them). To force a boot into safe mode all you need to do is to keep pressing volume down button during boot animation. After the system boots into safe mode you can reboot your device to boot up normally (since all modules will be disabled). If you get stuck during boot animation again, just force another reboot (I've had to do that during my tests).
- The "SystemUI module" requires that your device is already updated to March build!
- When a new OTA update comes please don't flash the "SystemUI module" until I say it's ok to do so. I mean, me or any other member who may have tested it. Why? Because Google may change things on stock SystemUI between builds. When that happens, I have to recreate the module again to adapt those changes. For instance, March build was not compatible with the module that was built on top of February build SystemUI. Rest assured that I'll always test the module with new builds and update as necessary.
- In case your device gets caught in a bootloop, please provide me a logcat so I may try and look if anything can be done about it. To do so, during boot connect your device to your PC and grab a logcat with this adb command:
Code:adb logcat > log.txt
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Magisk Root | Magisk Manager
Suggestion:
- Uninstall all other modules you may have installed IF you're going for the "exclusive features". They could be incompatible with the "SystemUI module" thus making the device get caught in a bootloop. You may install them afterwards, one by one, just to make sure everything is ok.
- If you're up to it, instead of disabling/removing modules, just flash latest stock build through fastboot. If you want to retain your data, remove the "-w" flag from the update command on flash-all script.
How to install? (If you're running a Pixel 5, just install the module...you don't need all these next steps)
- Uninstall Device Personalization Services updates
- Clear Google Play Store app data and cache
- Flash the Magisk Module(s)
- Reboot device
- Open Google Play Store and update Device Personalization services (or any other Pixel exclusive app you see it needs to update).
- Profit!

How's these "exclusive features" even possible?
All (well, not all but almost...) features that you see on Pixel Devices "SystemUI module" were reverse engineered from Evolution X ROM source code. The source code is available on the link bellow shown on the credits. This means that I've been practicing some hard core "old school" Android smali edition in order to get this working. So, yes, I have some credits about this but, if it weren't for the original developers and it's public source code, none of this would be possible. Thank them for this!
Smali, and xml, edition wasn't enough to get this working. After decompiling, changing/adapt the code and recompiling everything again, I had to find a way to make it bootable without messing with the original apk signature. And here is where VR Theme logic came in handy. So thanks for the original dev who brought us this feature.
As for ROM Control app....this was/is a project created by daxgirl and wubydax back in 2015! So yeah, I'm not bringing anything new here, I just followed their instructions in order to get the features working after editing smali/xml with the source code taken from Evolution X. The original app source code is also available on the link shared on the credits.
I've just combined all of the above into a Magisk Module and shared here so that we can get the best of both worlds....a stock ROM with custom features included.

For Android S I've made other module that just adds some features like the "V8 module" on the OP and allows you to test the S hidden features.
For S I haven't made the "exclusive features" since, until final release, Google will most likely change at lot of stuff so there's no point on wasting time smali editing S SystemUI.
I'll attach it on this post if you want to try.
Every feature and instructions are on the attached PDF.
Cheers!
