The Pixel stock firmware does not include the two-button navigation system, in my case. I believe Google removed it as an option for Pixel devices starting with Android 10. Is there any Magisk module to get that navigation system on Android 13? I've seen a few that work on Android 10, 11, and 12, but I don't know if they also work on Android 13.
I'm still on 12L_July, and like the post above yours shows......I have access to gesture,2 button, 3 button navigation.

This is what that screen looks like on my phone. I manually flashed the stock Android 13 factory image.

Mine as well. No 2 button navigation option. Don't even know what 2 button nav would look like. I use gesture nav because I like screen real estate rather than nav buttons and status bar..

The two-button navigation system is what Google introduced in stock Android Pie on the Pixel 3. It has a pill button in the center for going to the home screen or switching between apps and a Back button to the left of the pill button. I personally really liked it, and that navigation system was in this mod's predecessor, so I'm hoping it will be added back for Android 13.

Hi everyone

I don't answer to all posts since it seems everyone is helping each other (wow)

With Android 13 source code release, I've started working more seriously on compatibility.
As of now, many features are already compatible in canary versions, and more to come soon.
Hi, I'm new here on the forum and I don't exactly understand how I should get an update when you finish handling the update to Android 13.
I would love for you to answer, or someone else, to explain to me.

Hi! Welcome!

AOSP Mods app, three-dot menu in the upper right corner, App Updates, Canary (for now, until a Stable release for 13 is ready), Xposed only, click Update, then follow the instructions.

Your question was not very clear

If you want to upgrade to android 13, you better wait for the update to eventually come to your phone

But if you've already installed AOSPMods and Android 13, just open the app and find update option in the 3dot menu on the corner

Hi folks... awesome mod this AOSPMods. Really like it.
I have two questions:

- Is there option to invert navbar layout? i could find it
- Long press power button to light torch is waking phone and then torch on, it supposed to be short press to wake and long press to torch on without waking phone, it is just me or the behaviour in this mod?

Other stuff is working really well on A12 AOSP.

- no. But you can use xposed edge module for that.
- which custom ROM and device are you using?

Well I have stock pixel firmware, also manually flashed. I have only AOSPMods module. And 2button nav has been in my pixel 6 since start (also for pixel 3aXL on Android 12L). I don't know maybe you have some option or module that disables the 2button navbar. But as I said this is on my pixel 3aXL AND pixel 6 and both have 2button nav working (though I never liked it because of reasons I explained in my previous post)

Just for the heck of it, I checked - although I think I checked before, but just didn't remember. I've had my factory unlocked P6P 512 GB since last October and I don't have the 2-button navigation option either (this is on rooted Android 13 Stable).

I use gestures, though.

Hmm, that's interesting. I thought Google removed that option from the Pixel 4 onward to push people to use gesture navigation. The only modules I have installed besides LSPosed and AOSP Mods are a blob emoji module and Magisk's own systemless hosts module, so I don't think I have anything installed that would conflict with the two-button navigation. Either way, I'm hoping that navigation system will be added for Android 13 eventually, because I like using it.

You could use this.

I'm running stock Android 12 with the AOSP mod enabled on my P6P and have the setting for 2-button navigation. I don't really use it though, only gestures.

I found this.. Hope it works for you.

    The concept of Xposed mods on custom ROM doesn't make much sense.
    The whole point of an Xposed mod is keeping the original ROM and modding it.
    If one is ready to change the original ROM, then there are lots of roms that each have their own customization options, without compromising on performance like the way Xposed does, and one can choose which rom is best matches needs

    Will the module work on Lineage OS?

    I was searching for an "AOSP Mods" module I used a few years ago and stumbled on it. Are they the same?
    AOSPMods had issues with custom roms. So we rebranded it to PixelXpert to emphasize that only stock pixel is supported.

    Alright. I'm going to try now and see if it works.

    EDIT: System UI kept restarting after installation.

    Uninstalled ✅
