Has anyone tested to see if ChainFire's FlashFire app is compatible with pixel XL and pixel?
There was a test flashfire app released a while back that had Pixel Compatibility. I tried it out but couldnt get passed the loading screen. Will see if I can find a link.
In his XDA FlashFire thread is a beta version .54 that is being tested on the pixels. The playstore version does not.

It isn't really. He pushed an update that allowed OTA updates. Does not allow flashing of any sort

Does anyone have a working method to install Xposed and flash TWRP and root and unlock the bootloader of the Google Pixel XL yet.
Xposed is not available for Nougat at all yet so no.
Go to development section of XL and you will find TWRP and SuperSU for root.

Saw this article and didnt see that anyone shared. Looks like we can update to the Camera 5.0 APK and gain a few benefits!

I upgraded to the 5.1 camera and I don't have motion picture. Is there any way to downgrade to 5.0? The APK won't install...
I'm not rooted
I disabled my camera to return it to stock, them updated using the APK. Works now. Had the same issue at first, not being rooted.
Everything worked for me, upgraded to the Pixel 2 camera. It automatically upgraded the current camera. All option worked. Pixel XL rooted, stock, ElemntalX kernel, Makisk 14.2.
Is the potrait mode working? I cannot find it anywhere. Pixel XL not root here
When I try to Install the camera.apk file I get an "app not installed" error. Pixel XL rooted, stock Oreo. Any ideas?

Go into Camera app info in settings, 3 dots menu top right, uninstall updates, update camera app in playstore, install Camera 5.0 apk..

Worked flawlessly for me when I used XDA Labs to upgrade my current camera to the version on XDA Labs
Can anyone confirm that this works on DU? I don't see portrait or motion

I'm still on 7.1.1, I installed 5.0 but don't see the blur option. Is it because I'm not on 8.0?

From what I understand, the 5.0 doesn't require 8.0. I haven't been able to get the motion button to show up on the 5.0 apk running 7.1.2

7.1.2 - no motion pictures option either, i'm beginning too think that is an oreo only
Installed on 8. Have blur but no portrait.
Do you guys think we will get portrait modus and the other new features like offline music recognition and so on officially?
Did anyone's camera app update?
I can install this again, but is there a new version so it doesn't update?
How to get working after update
I just downloaded app cloner and cloned the pixel 2 camera app and installed then ran the play store camera update and now I have both versions working.

Yeah, I suspect there will be someone out there that does what I did and that tries to install the APK, and then it comes up with app not installed. I updated the Camera App, installed the apk and cloned the apk using app cloner, changed the name to Camera2 and now it's working.
Anyone have Netflix working on 8.1 beta? I had it before the beta and now it's telling me I have an incompatible device.

Of course. The only way now is to lock the bootloader or download from apk mirror. In the future, passing safetynet with a custom kernel or Magisk/autohide will work

Interesting. Didn't think the bootloader would affect it. Once we can get safetynet, I'll unlock again.

I'm running a custom kernel that passes safetynet on 8.0. The easiest way is to download Netflix from Apk mirror. That way you can stay unlocked

You can download the APK directly from Netflix website in the help section.

Thats funny. They won't let you do it from the play store, but they give you the workaround right from their website. Lol
I haven't had any issues with Netflix.
Hey guys is there a way to install the Google Phone app on the 7X? It says in the store that you need marshmallow or higher but I still can't download it on nougat.

I downloaded one of the APKs and tried to install it but it still said this app is not compatible with your device. This is my first time trying to do this so maybe I'm missing some obvious steps.
I found an old version here that work3d for me for Android Auto compatibility....

Anyone been able to get v4A working on Q?
Android Q, latest update, Pixel 3XL, app installs, but driver doesn't install. Magisk repo, classic v4a caused booting issues, driver doesn't install.
AML installed.
Rooted with Magisk 19.4 beta

Are you using the latest V4A? The one from the link below works. You'll have to let it install the driver and reboot a few times before it takes. I can confirm it works great.

Yeah, installed and rebooted twice. Perhaps I'll try again and try it 4 times

If you are that obsessed with proof, I can provide you with that. Instead, how about reading the thread below. It was not the simplest install (newest XDA labs download and these instructions https://www.jpoirier.net/index.php/2019/09/12/how-to-install-viper4android-on-android-10/), but it definitely works.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/helpful-tip-viper4android-t3981803
Edit - Here's the screenshot.
just tried and i get stuck at installing the viper driver the first time. it says it doesn't have root access and i do not get prompted to grant access. magisk looks like it gets hung on root access while it is waiting to reboot after installing audio modification library.
Go into superuser and make sure it is not disabled.
Also, you might have to be on Canary Magisk. I had issues until switching to Canary, non stable

Somewhere in the other instructions it mentioned removing all audio mods before installing V4A. It didn't impact me, but I believe that was the issue for another user.
