[MOD]<--- ViPER4Android-2.3.4.0 + 2.5.0.5 --->[Magisk][Stock/AOSP]

ViPER4Android installer
I have had the Pixel 2 XL for only a few days, and am still undecided on whether i will continue with the device. In the meantime here is ViPER4Android for the Januray update.
Please note, for stock pixel rom, you need to use the Magisk modules and not use the system installer. The system installers only seem to work for AOSP based roms like LineageOS.
These are provided as is, and i may not be supporting this for long. As of today i still have the device and can mess around with it. Lets see if this thing can keep me interested.
Magisk Modules, should work on Stock and AOSP
WETA V4A 2.3.4.0 Magisk Module
WETA V4A 2.5.0.5 Magisk Module
V4A System installers, installed to system/vendor permanently AOSP only, and you have to have verity disabled
WETA V4A 2.3.4.0 System installer AOSP
WETA V4A 2.5.0.5 System installer AOSP

Keep that expensive Pissel and make a super Weta sound mod. Haha. They tell me Pissel 3 will be better. Nice camera.

Welcome back! Good to see you developing for us again, thanks for all of your work, past and future.

I flashed WETA V4A 2.5.0.5 Magisk Module on stock 8.1 with magisk root. I am on ElementalX Kernel. Works great for when Pandora or some music app is playing. It correctly says it is processing. The issue I have is it doesn't process any ringtones or notifications. When I had this installed on 7.1.1 and Franco Kernel, I could noticeably hear an improvement with ringtones and notifications. Any ideas why this no longer works?

Thank you soo much ! It works flawlessly on my Android 9 head unit hal9k v4 mod. For the head units It becomes complicated when other v4a modules requieres volume control keys during installation

@ Mentalmuso found a bug in 2.5.0.5 magisk module. After a reboot ViPER Clarity feature needs to be selected/opened although its enabled

Xposed and Safety Net Pass -- How To!

XPOSED and Safety Net PASS -- Instructions How To
I've been using Xposed because it has functionality that I don't want to give up. But "regular" Xposed won't pass Safety Net.
Thanks to @drewcu, I now have found a way to use Xposed and PASS Safety Net.
This is important enough it deserves its own Guide thread. All credit goes to @drewcu -- and of course the edXposed devs! Go here and THANK this post. Full exchange is below, but please go thank @drewcu in that post.

First hearing about "edXposed". Quick Google search, sounds interesting, and some say it allows you to pass Safety Net, which regular Xposed (I use) doesn't. Is that true?
Which Magisk version are you installing with that?

Latest Magisk 19.3.
YES, EdXposed absolutely passes Safetynet (both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity)! Install instructions here: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed but see below for the specific EdXposed version I recommend using.
I personally use magisk-EdXposed-sandhook-v0.4.0.1_beta-SNAPSHOT-release.zip found https://www.lanzous.com/b642738. Newer Sandhook versions with resource hooking like v0.4.1.2_beta and v0.4.2.3_alpha (and the YAHFA versions too) found https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases introduce some LAG for me that isn't present on 0.4.0.1. Haven't tried newer ALPHA versions like 0.4.3.7 but you are welcome to see if you experience the same lag. Would have to separately install both versions, start opening apps, clicking around, and counting time till the V30 responds to see the lag I am referring to. Is subtle but most noticeable in 0.4.1.2 and less so in 0.4.2.3.
The only Xposed module I use is GravityBox(O) and there is a version specifically for EdXposed -- 8.5.3.1-edxposed (https://github.com/GravityBox/GravityBox/releases/tag/v8.5.3.1-edxposed_o), although I updated to general version 8.5.4 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v8-0-0-beta-1-tweak-box-t3739929) and have no resource hooking problems with 0.4.0.1 like I thought there might be and had with general version 8.5.3. If you use any OTHER Xposed modules that require resource hooking, you will need to use an EdXposed version 0.4.1.2 or above which has resource hooking but also possibly some lag (perhaps none in the latest alpha I don't know).
So I stay on magisk-EdXposed-sandhook-v0.4.0.1_beta-SNAPSHOT-release because it works with the latest version of GravityBox no problem, has 0 lag unlike newer versions (I think an Oreo problem), and passes Safetynet just fine.
Not sure if some of the steps I took after reading a forum about Safetynet were necessary but I did them anyway -- namely:
1) EdXP Settings - Enable Black/White List
2) Black List Google Play Services and Google Play Store
3) Magisk Hide - ALL of Google Play Services
Enjoy!

When I go to download the file, it's in, I assume, Chinese characters.
Any help.
Never mind, figured it out.

This is great. I'm so happy to have Gravity Box again.

I too had a problem with lag with newer versions of edxposed. I switched to the version recommend in the OP and all is well.

If you comfortable using "chinese" app. Taichi is simpler solution (personally), although not much modules currently supported. Both edxposed and taichi are available on magisk repo

Thanks @ChazzMatt, finally got around to installing Xposed again. Thank god for GravityBox!
edit: after playing around for a day, I'm disabling edx. I'm getting lag, force closes, unresponsive back button, and major battery drain. Sad to see the framework hasn't changed much in 1-2 years. It's not worth it for a single Xposed module.

share with the class.

Right. Didn't have riru-core module installed.

Thanks a lot for this guide . It's great to have xposed and safety net passing.

soo I tried to install edxposed sandhook (latest version), after a couple reboot, all went fine, but now I lost wifi and data connection (they cant be turned on), any ideas or fix? is it linked to that version of edxposed? I have a Lg ls998 converted to Us998h, thank you

Just wanted to share my experience with NFC banking and FullHD working Netflix. Managed to delete everything google and installed Microg only (to get Gcam to work), my banking app, Netflix app, Canary EdXposed and it works flawlessly! Could never get FullHD and NFC banking to work previously with Xposed. Of note was the fact I am running Xprivacy, too. Just make sure you blacklist the apps in EdXposed and also hide them in Magisk and it all works
Hope this helps others as it really made my NoGapps/Rooted stock phone experiences significantly better.

Great.

I'm having trouble getting EdXposed to activate. I'm on a fresh clean install of the TWRP flashable version of US998 30b with Magisk 20.1 installed and working, and while i've got the Riru - Core module installed (v19.5), no matter which Riru - Ed Xposed module I use I get the following error message from EdXposed Manager 4.5.2 explaining why it's installed but not activated:
There seems to be a known issue("Wrong base directory: /mnt/expand/7f941a12-b7aa-4d2a-a664-f89a46b7d86c/user_de/0/org.meowcat.edxposed.manager") with your ROM.
Suggestions on where I go from here?

Solution Found. My EdXposed Manager had been installed to External Storage. It only works on Internal Storage.

Safety Net Fail w/ Gravitybox
It looks like as soon as I enable the Gravitybox module that you recommend, safetynet fails. Are you still passing with your setup (I'm wondering if there has been some update that this version of Gravitybox no longer passes)?
UPDATE: even though safetynet shows up as failing in Magisk, I am still able to use Google Pay, so maybe it is working? I'll update this post once I've tried using Google Pay to pay for something.
UPDATE again: after a couple of days, Google Pay showed a pop up message saying that it would no longer work. Uninstalling and reinstalling gets it working temporarily again it seems.

Dear @ChazzMatt
Should I install the old beta in the last page or the latest canary to avoid safety net and which versions is the best?

Note to everyone: installing xposed framework will trigger safetynet....and uninstalling it will do as well
And i don't know how to solve this except flashing a new rom

Switching from Apple with Jailbreak. Looking for Instagram++, Watusi etc.

Hi guys,
I bought a Oneplus 7T and it's my first Android device. I successfully rooted my device and now I'm testing it to see if it fits my needs.
I'm quite spoiled from my iPhone with Jailbreak. App quality is excelent and there are thousend of tweaks which I can install over Cydia.
Is there anything similar on Android like Instagram++, Watusi etc.? I don't like to see all the ads in the app between stories or constantly after a few minutes on youtube.
I can get rid of this all on my iPhone but not on Android.
I also have AdAway with some hosts files downloaded but they don't work inside an app.
Hope you guys have some tips for me :angel:

You'll most likely want to install Xposed Framework through the Magisk Modules (I'm assuming that's what you used for root). Xposed Framework has a number of modules that I think you'd be using (very similar to Cydia).
Unclutter IG is an example xposed module.

I haven't used XPosed since... My note 5 I think?
How is the Xposed scene now adays? Do a lot of the old modules work on the latest version?

Magisk :)

Hey guys, I finally grabbed Magisk (unlocked bootloader, downloaded the boot.img and then patched using Magisk and flashed it) and it's great, installed some modules (iOS emojis, GPay SQLite Fix, New power menu MIUI) but I was wondering what other cool modules there are available, particularly ones which work with MIUI. I've already had a look on the Module store thing and nothing tickles my fancy
Thanks!

Hey!
How did you install Magisk? I already flashed Evo X but I really need Magisk for work, do you have the exact steps?

Question Going back to original (MIUI Global stable) after flashing many custom roms

Hello, guys! I have a question for you; I hope you could help me out with this, I've been looking over the web and couldn't find anything.
First some background.
Right after I bought my POCO F3, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the xiaomi.eu rom, I stayed there for months, but then I wanted to try some AOSP ROMs, so I flashed crDroid, it wasn't what I was looking for, so I switched to Pixel Experience, I was pretty happy with it but some banking apps didn't work even with Magisk and zygisk and all that stuff, so I tried to flash Pixel OS but their recovery didn't work for me, my last shot was Lineage OS, but it was similar to crDroid, long story short, I decided to go back to MIUI global.
I used the official MiFlash tool and flashed the latest release of MIUI global stable through fastboot.
My concern is the following, after flashing the original rom through fastboot with the option "clean_all" is the phone stays the same as before flashing all that stuff? If not, what should I do?
Somehow I feel like there is a huge mess in the internal memory and I just want to make sure that everything is formatted, cleaned and original, like it never had any custom rom installed before.

If you chose clean all it will be like Brandon new, take note if you leave the bootloader un locked it will not pass google play store of certification, how lame right ,they want you to lock the bootloader, that's why I chose Arrow

I didn't now that, I just installed safetynet test and it fails the CTS profile match
Can I just lock the bootloader again to go back to normal? I don't plan to keep messing around with custom roms again

You don't need to lock the BL.
Get Magisk, enable Zygisk, and use the Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" from GitHub. The Module did the job for me.
Might also work on Pixel Experience. ^^
I'm currently just using Stock MIUI 13.

I already did that in pixel experience, but there was just one banking app that didn't want to work no matter what I try. I really wanted to stay in pixel experience but now that I'm back in MIUI 13 with poco launcher 4 it's not that bad either, at least I have Dolby Atmos, HDR and all that stuff.

Yeah because of Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera I'm also staying on MIUI. ^^
BTW, just to really make sure, you used Magisk Module "SafetyNet Fix" on Pixel Experience, yes?
You can try deleting the folder "TWRP" if existent (some apps check for that folder, e.g. Mario Kart). You can also try hiding Magisk App (apps also check for that app).

if you want the goodies of MIUI but also to pass safetynet without issues i suggest you to try "xiaomi eu"
they are based on the chinese rom which is ahead in terms of features and bugfixes (specially the beta) and have some optimizations to make the experience better

Tried it.. it's oky... I like Google System Apps more. Call Recording Feature was nice. :v
But unfortunately, GSI's didn't work/boot with Xiaomi.eu (Generic System Images). I like to be able to use GSI's, to try out other new OSes from time to time, Dual Boot sorta. ^^
