Question - Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

Is there anyway without a rom to change the NavBar height on a Pixel XL NMF26Q. I've been searching high and low and tried quite a few options but just can't seem to find anything that works. Appreciate the help

Zoom bar for manually adjusting brightness?

Hi!
Is it possible to use the zoom bar for manually adjusting the display brightness?
(I tried searching, no success.)
Thanks
Most likely not right now, unless you are really good friends with a dev and they want to make the app for you, sorry.
Bad luck And there are not many keys which could be used for such useful function

visible screen size

Does some one happens to know visible pixel height? notification bar takes cca 40px and soft keys around 80 i think, but i would appreciate if some one knows exact pixels.
ty
ok, so if anyone will be interested in this, android pixel calculations are not so simple, found some infos
http://developer.android.com/design/style/metrics-grids.html
http://www.brandbuildercompany.com/...-independent-pixel-formula-for-mobile-devices
But for simple things like wallpapers, i measured that visible height is 1133px (for 316dpi), that way notification bar and soft keys won't cut the image, correct me if i missed something.

Color Calibration help

Hoping someone out there can help.
I've heard about the color calibration option in the Android N dev preview but sadly found out it's not in the Pixel C's build. Any chance of getting this?? I'm hoping so as the screen on my pixel c has the purplish ghosting (it's the 4th tablet I received with this issue, I gave up RMA'ing them) but the problem does seem to reduce if I slightly change the color calibration on it with 3rd party apps. Would love an OS solution though!
Cheers everyone :good:

Oreo number of rows in quick settings

Hi,
can somebody please tell me how to add the 3rd row of quick setting toggles in the Oreo update like it was with Nougat?
I've tried Oreo for the third time now but several things simply don't work anymore or got worse in comparison with Nougat.
I could live with a few of those but only having two rows of quick setting toggles is definatily not one of them.
I tried gravitybox (it's missing the option to manage the vibration strength of the virtual buttons and the battery tile now has additional text which takes up all the space so the temperature part isn't visible anymore.)
Furthermore I had to buy a substratum theme to not vomit from the white quick settings panel. With the march security update the installation is now as tedious as with Nougat due to the forced reboot.
The Xposed module HowGiveLolli doesn't work anymore and the centered normal letters instead of all upper case was a real nice feature.
Why are the points in the settings app regrouped so it's harder to find specific settings?
There are simply so many bad design choices in my eyes I can't bring myself to live with Oreo due to not finding substitute functions for the missing ones.
Kind regards
I know you posted this last month so you hopefully figured it out, but either way I thought I'd share the answer since someone else might want to know in the future.
It has to do with the display scaling in Settings\Display\Advanced\Display Size. If set to default or large, you only get two rows of quick settings. If you set to small, the UI shrinks and as a side effect you get three rows of quick settings tiles. You can always increase the font size afterward if it's too small, but reducing the display scaling is the only way to have enough room to display three rows.

Thanks for posting the solution. I simply restored my Nougat backup as I never upgraded my bootloader for that matter. I don't think I'll be using Oreo until I get a new phone which possibly can't be a Moto Z3 because I'm not really convinced they will release anything more than the Z3 play.

Hi and thanks for this trick : as a matter of fact I was always on "small" in Nougat and it worked nice with 3 rows, but with Oreo I needed to switch to "smaller" to switch from 2 to 3 rows :silly:

on rooted (or custom rom) xl, is there a mod to disable sRGB?

hey all. currently own a OG pixel xl. i really like it but i would like to upgrade to get the all screen pixel 2 xl but i HATE the muted colors with sRGB screen setting.
i wanted to know if someone made a mod or custom rom that disables everything defaulting to sRGB and just force WCG? or make the screen produce colors like every other smart phone screen on the market?
lmk thanks
Well, if you do upgrade to the P2XL, Google did introduce Boosted and Saturated settings to the color profiles which will help make the screen look more like a Samsung. That I think would eliminate the need of a mod. In any event, I'm not aware of such a mod.
