For me at least until my SW3 updates to Android 6 I see very little point in rooting my SW3... And as yet other than twrp and Kernel I don't feel there are enough mods etc or even Custom roms(if any) to even bother with rooting... On a phone there are huge benifits but a watch that relies on your phone for most everything I see no advantages yet...
I know what you mean, side loading apps is cool, and being able to change the DPI. Firefox and Google keyboard works well, cm cleaner works perfectly and helps uninstalling apps and es file manager is good for installing apps
Be honest. Do you really need a reason beside "it can be done"?
No lol, but I want tweaks

LOL I guess not. Andhopefull we will get Marshmallow soon and then will have a proper play!
Hopefully, it's been seen in the wild. Just need them to pull their fingers out.
So, while I agree that waiting to root until after 1.4 might be a good idea, here is what I did with root...
Direct wifi access with apps (mostly es File Explorer for on watch app install and uninstall)
Kernel experimenting and tweaking
Uninstall wear apps but keep host apps on phone
All done without a computer (after initial install and setup)
Run most terminal commands with a single tap (like changing dpi)

if this question was dedicated to me, my answer is:
I read posts about android and chrootet linux distros and used a similar technique to do this with my smartwatch 3. As soon as I am allowed to post a DEV-THREAD I will probably make a quick tutorial about it.
Looking forward to it. Not something I've looked at
Hello people. My device is not listed in DEVDB options, so I must have to create this thread instead a DEVDB project. If it is wrong, please advice me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm creating this thread to give us more space to create a ROM for our device, like a step-by-step to things we have to do or not. I'll edit this thread with more details when I have more time, but for now, thats what we have done, and I think we need to do:
Root (Thanks to Chainfire)
Custom recovery (thanks to Shreps)
Choose a kitchen to manage the ROM
Discover kernel options
Choose apps to add/remove
A custom app to manage various phone settings, like kernel options, battery settings, and others
Edit build.prop to get right device management
Edit boot.img to have unsecure boot
Help me to add or remove things to the list above, to have a structured plan to build the whole ROM (boot, recovey, system), because last time I manage a ROM was a long time ago, I think about 2010 (was on Xperia X2), and was only for me (my "project" wasn't public). From that time for actual days, I don't manage/create nothing "solid" and structured anymore... And I'm sure all things have changed/updated/died/etc...
To help start familiar with new kitchens (the last was DSIXDA Kitchen), I have choose SuperR's Kitchen. I try to use it inside Cygwin, but it gives me an error while opening, I'm investigating this. So, I setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu in my house, and I have remote access to it from my work. In this VM, I setup the kitchen and (after a time to setup the right Java) it is running fine.
So, let's go, people. I'll edit this post as news are coming.
[UPDATE]What I have found:
If "Google Photos" is removed, then Gallery don't crop wallpapers, or adds a image to a contact;
Titanium Backup can't uninstall/integrate some apps and updates. It says "apk not found". I'm trying to use Link2SD;
SuperSU "lose" the configuration, forcing me to remove the apps I added, then run the app again. I'm looking for this
If you remove "Theme Center", you can't change wallpaper and Lenovo Home gives an error!
If you remove "Google App", "Now Launcher" gives errors about force close.
If you remove LenovoID, Settings force close when try to enter "accounts".
If we integrate "Google Play Services" and hard reset the phone, it force close at second stage of first registration.

I randomly found this thread and noted that you are facing this issue with TB being unable to uninstall some apps. I had the same issue with my device. If you are rooted, navigate to /Cust/Channel/Preinstalled/apps folder (sometimes the "channel" folder may not exist) from your file explorer, you will find the apks for the apps that TB fails to find apk for. Remove the APKs that you don't need and/or move them wherever you feel is right for them, all set

After flashing Magisk and the F2FS fix on 7.1.1, I decided to install the Magisk Xposed module. After I rebooted, Magisk reported that the phone didn't pass SafetyNet checks. Uninstalling the module allows it to pass checks again. Does anyone have any ideas?
Jesus, under which rock do you live? It was already mentioned about a million times in the Magisk thread and most likely in the Magisk release thread that it is and most likely always be impossible to pass SN with XPosed installed!
The only advantage the XPosed Magisk module had that you don't have to uninstall XPosed to pass, you only have to deactivate it and reboot. No recompilation will be necessary

I don't know how you get 500 thanks for responses like that.
You are supposed to read and search for yourself before you open a new thread. It's written in the Magisk release thread. If you are not able to do what you are required by forum rules to do don't be surprised you don't get the friendliest answers

This is the most moronic and counter-productive attitude I can see on any forum. I will give you arguments for that:
- yes, indeed, someone added in ONE Place a clear information about something (speaking generally, because it can apply on any forum)
- one user, most probably new, comes and ask the question for which the answer lies in that above mentioned place. It may seem obvious for some, but for that new user it wasn't.
- a mob gathers and flays that user because of his laziness and ignorance. Moreover, posts accumulate, filling pages, trying to condemn the poor user.
What the above solves, beside attacking one person who tried to solve a problem? Nothing.
Now, let's see a different scenario:
- user asks the obvious question (let's assume the worst: he's a lazy user who wants his answers ready and won't do a damn search)
- he gets the response AND a link where he could find the original answer... and if you really feel the need, you can mention it that next time he could do a quick search first
Let's see the benefits of this attitude:
1. now the answers can be found in several places (plus referral links)
2. this means the next one who will search for the answer is more likely to find it, due to more results being indexed by search engines
3. no one gets their feelings hurt
4. fewer posts in the thread (as instead of many people talking around the subject, there is only one short post, pointing the answer - which also makes it constructive)
While this reply is a bit long and apparently not adding to the topic, I hope it will prove its value in long term, if some of you will decide to follow this suggestion.
G'day!

The official Magisk thread is plastered with that question, so whatever you wanted to say with your senseless post, you missed the point.
Every user has accepted some rules when he joined this forum. Besides the fact that the Magisk thread, the Magisk XPosed thread and probably the Magisk beta thread are plastered with that question, just Google for Magisk XPosed SafetyNet. Besidesa very strange headline Google shows for a post on the xda news side with an indication Xposed for Oreo could pass, which is missing when you actually open the page (no idea what Google messed up there), every page basically tells you the same.
So there is absolutely no excuse for anyone to still post about such things. Period.
Release of OsloBridge v1.1.2 can be found here https://github.com/jcarletto27/magisk_module_motionsense_mod/releases
The purpose of this is to broadcast intents that Tasker can pick up as events. I plan on sending a PR to TopJohnWu once i hear back on some QA. Please update me here in this thread if you find any bugs! In my own testing I've found that the official apps like Pokemon wave hello and Headed South still function fine.
This module overwrites the built-in Bridge with a modified one that does not check for Googles signature on the requesting app, essentially letting anyone with knowledge of the bridge api to create an app to use MotionSense. My app which I'm calling OsloBridger (Oslo is the internal name for the MotionSense app) creates a foreground service that works even if the screen is off. I've not noticed any serious battery issues, but time will tell.
If you have issues please post here with the following and I'll do my best to help:
Device : (Pixel 4, Pixel 4XL)
Patch Date: (Oct,Nov,etc)
Are you Rooted with Magisk? : (Yes, No)
Other Modules Installed: (Systemless Hosts, edXposed, etc.)
Do you have Tasker installed ? (Yes, No)
Is "Allow External Access" checked in the Tasker Misc Preferences? (Yes, No)
When you start the service in OsloBridger what does it say in the Notification? (Reach, Flick Gestures Active)
Level of Tasker Experience ? (Novice, Experienced)
Also, please provide the task your trying to run. The steps to do that are Go to Tasks -> Long Press the Task you want to execute -> Click Three Dots in top right -> Export -> Description to Clipboard and paste it here
Update Nov 7, 2019 : I've updated the OsloBridger app to now allow the selection of specific tasks from within the app. No more setting up broadcast receivers in Tasker!
Update Nov 12, 2019: Added 2 new service intent filters to allow the starting and stopping of the Service without needing to use the Toggle intent. Updated the defaults to use what I've found works best (surprise! it's the same settings google uses for the builtin actions)
Advanced Users:
The app will still send those same broadcasts if you don't select a task in OsloBridger, so no changes for those setup already. I find this way to be more flexible because you can add multiple conditions to the event in Tasker, but I get that Tasker can have a huge learning curve.
Not sure if this will help, but I have used a magisk module to replace an apk in the product folder. Not sure if it's the same but the directory is /system/product/..….
I noticed in root explorer that the product directory in system is a shortcut to the one in the root directory
Btw, since you already digging around. Anyway to bypass the country restriction. I live so close to Mexico that it turns off every now and then.
It would be awesome if we can use Soli sensor with Tasker.
Actually, I've posted this suggestion on Tasker forum. and he, joaomgcd, also looking forward to it.

Thanks that might be exactly what I was looking for. In my digging I did find a country code in a preference file somewhere. I've also heard that it's restricted based on which service provider. I'll find the file and you can let me know if it works in your country.

Also looked into Motion Sense APK. Restriction is phone number country code based, can be bypassed. Also looks like its developers left setting to disable country checks at all. TO do that, you just need to change android setting 'pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to '1'. This way modified APK not needed.
I can't try this right now but if you want to check, then connect Pixel 4 with developer mode and execute command in adb shell:
Code:
adb shell setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override 1
or
Code:
adb shell "setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override 1; setprop ctl.restart zygote"
or edit system/build.prop with some app
You need root to do this.

My Active Edge module modifies the SystemUIGoogle.apk to provide custom squeeze actions via Edge Sense Plus.
So yeah, you can build a magisk module to replace the file. You can check on my github how it works: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/active_edge_system_mod/tree/Android10
I also want to inject some custom code, struggling a bit though, because I rely on logcats, because I don't own a pixel.
You hooked into handleContextHubMessageReceipt method in the FlickGestureSensor?

Appreciate the feedback. Just checked with my device and can't replicate the issue. Can anyone else replicate this?

Yes I am. Tomorrow I'm going to do a fresh install see exactly what's causing the issue. Only modules I have installed are BusyBox, viper, sq lite, and this.
I turned face unlock off for the time being. Even if it does conflict with this mod it's worth it! Great work
I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to post this..
I recently got a Ulefone power armor 13 that I've been trying to to de-google, I've avoided smartphones for a long time due to concerns about tracking ect but I decided to take the plunge after seeing articles online about privacy focused google android alternatives.
The one I've really been trying to get to run is CalyxOS, I know it only officially supports a limited number of smartphones but there are some unofficial GSI ROMs of it. I really liked the idea of being able run both open source apps and google apps with spoofing, I know I said that I was trying to degoogle this phone but the simple fact is there are a few google apps I'd like to run if I can avoid the tracking.
Unfortunately I've only had dead ends and headache trying to to get them to install but I have had some luck getting AOSP GSI to install so I'd like to try something new.
Can anyone recommend a GSI rom that has either microg or some other way of spoofing google? Or alternatively a way of adding it to a AOSP GSI rom?
Many thanks for your time.
What do you mean by "spoofing Google"?
Spoofing may have been the wrong term to use, what I meant by "spoofing Google" was some means of allowing google apps run without my data getting back to them.

From what I've read online microg does this by somehow creating a fake ID for the device. Now my laypersons understanding may have have got this wrong if I have I would appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of some reliable info?
If I understood everything correctly this would need to be used along side the Aurora store or a similar app store to get the full benefit of it.
Maybe a better way to phrase my request would have been are there any GSI roms that do the same thing as CalyxOS or is it possable to get something similar with a stock AOSP GSI image and adding microg to it myself?

I'm not sure if you had any luck or not. I thought I would follow up to this. I don't know why there's not much posting info on GSI ROM's. From what I've found there are ROM's available for what you are looking for. I did find some degoogled GSI ROM's even with or without microG preinstalled. If you need a list of some, I can provide you. I'm not sure they will work, but it is sometimes a trial and error. For the phone you listed you should be able to get some to work though.
Hi defcondoc
Thanks for taking th time to reach out to me, I currently have the phone running an Arrowos GSI ROM from the phhutson ROM list and so far its been ok for me though I would be REALLY happy to have list of other possible ROMS to play/tinker with. Afterall you never know what you might find unless you try new things.
If you have the time send me the list you have I would be really greatfull, I don't mind if they don'e have microg preinstalled at this point so long as its clearly marked that its not prinstalled.
Thanks again.
