[REQUEST] SystemUIGoogle.apk on 05-05-2021 patch level - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

Hi ppl, I hope you're all doing well. I came here to ask a quick favor! If you are currently on the newest (May 2021) firmware level, could you please share the SystemUIGoogle.apk system (system_ext) file, please? It would also need to be completely unmodified (no Magisk and/or Xposed modules activated targeting System UI modifications).
The reason I'm asking is for the Active Edge Mod (Edge Sense Plus) module. Our source for system dumps for some reason hasn't yet released this new update for this particular model (nor for Pixel 3 - although 3a, 3 XL, 4, and 4 XL were dumped already). I personally have a Pixel 3, so I was able to pull the file myself. Now only Pixel 3a XL is left to do!
Anyway, if you already updated to May 2021 and are willing to help, here is how to get to the file we need:
(will need root access and root file explorer) [root]/system_ext/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk
* the apk file is the only file we need
Again, the file would need to be completely unmodified, so if you have any other mods enabled that target System UI (such as Tulsadiver's various mods), they'll need to be disabled first to ensure a clean unmodified apk. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: special thanks to user @nolajim6 for providing me with the file. Will upload to official Magisk repo soon. My unofficial mod repo has already been updated meanwhile.

TouchControl modules backups

Hey guys,
as some of you know bponury ended the support for his TouchControl (formerly PGM) app. What means that if somebody wanted to change a kernel to a different one or switch to a different device he will be unable to use the app (which is great IMHO). My idea on this thread is to put all the modules for all kernels and devices so that we'll be able to still use the app. I'm not a developer so if anybody can create flashable zips from those modules I'll be grateful (if this thread kicks-off I'll learn to do it by myself but for now I believe we can manage)
Thanks to bponury who shared a location of modules I was able to extract those from DirtyV. I attach them below. Please send me more modules and I'll put them below.
FYI - if you want to extract the modules by yourself you need to download i.e. File Manager, turn on the Root Explorer option and copy the contents of "/data/data/me.paranoid.touchcontrol/files/" folder.
I believe if we managed to gather greated number of modules this thread could be linked in forums of other devices. But let's start from Gnex. Cheers
I have the Ponury stock modified module. It works on Fancy kernel and the FML omni rom too.
Here's a link to download https://www.dropbox.com/s/79scinuv2q1676m/ponury_stock_modified.zip
Flashable zip containing bponury TC module - View attachment tuna-TCmodules-bponury.zip
Flashable zip containing DirtyV TC module - View attachment tuna-TCmodules-DirtyV.zip
I put together these packages which successfully flashes the file to the right place as described by @bponury (/data/data/me.paranoid.touchcontrol/files), please report back with your results. The file has the same permissions (rw- --- ---) and installs to the right place, so it is totally harmless to flash, it won't mess with anything outside of the TC data folder. Looking forward to any feedback, and I am happy to make some more packages for other kernels if people can provide the modules. The DirtyV version worked perfectly for me after the update to 4.4.3
* technically I did test the bponury version with FancyKernel and it didn't work, but my device is bad to test with because, ever since the update from version 1.x to version 2.x, I almost always need to reinstall the modules after any simple reboot.
Okay this is module for franco kernel
Anyone got the modules to work?
I tried flashing them and copy/pasting them to the files folder, but still the app doesn't detect the module and wants to load it online, which isn't possible anymore. Trying it with latest franco r398.
Had it working up until this morning. All of a sudden it hangs on loading the the module.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Likewise...today it stopped working...tried flashing the modified stock zip still no result...really disappointed for this outcome...it's my most useful application.
Does not work for me too. I use franco r398
Just look for the 2.2.1 TouchControl apk and it should work again. Currently i'm using the latest fancy kernel and i don't need to flash an additional files since it still automaticly downloads the modules when using the apk mentioned before.

[UNOFFICIAL][MAGISK MODULE] Active Edge Mod for Edge Sense Plus - continuation for patch levels 2021-01-05 and later

EDIT: It's too annoying to maintain and edit 6 separate threads. The installer works across all devices, so please visit this post for the latest version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-patch-levels-2021-01-05-and-later.4226343/
Thanks!
NOTE: Download link in the OP will install mod for the current patch level down to January 2021. It will detect your current patch level and install the correct file. For earlier system builds from 2020 and prior, please use the official discontinued module on the Magisk Manager repo. I did not clone the entire Active Edge Mod repository; my unofficial repository only hosts January 2021 and later builds.
Changes:
I know, I know... I said I was done with releasing my Unofficial Active Edge Mod installer, yet here's another month's update. I might keep doing it for those that update immediately and want it a bit sooner, so long as it's fortunate enough to happen on a day when I'm able to do it relatively quickly. Since I'm building these anyway and sending them over to the dev, for now, to upload to the official Magisk repo, for now I don't mind also updating it here a bit sooner. Anyway, more on this below and some of the headache involved moving forward...
04-05-2021: Soooo... the script I wrote to churn these out as quickly as possible as Google releases the updates, relied on system image dumps on GitRip... unfortunately the domain was seized by the FBI (lol) and so it looks like the old dumper is no longer updating his Android dumps repo on GitRip. Fortunately, mikalovtch pointed me over to a new source that hosts such system dumps, and I was able to get these done relatively quickly afterwards. OP is updated with the 04-05-2021 installer now!
03-02-2021: Meant to post an update a week or two ago. Noticed the magisk module on the official Magisk repo now says [RE-CONTINUED], so there really isn't much need for me to continue updating this anymore! As a final gift, I ran my batch builder script and built the modded apk's for all variants for the 2021-03-05 patch level, and download link for the module installer is in the OP.
02-02-2021: February 2021 mod is now uploaded. Updated installer is in the link in the OP.
02-01-2021: Modified and uploaded modded SystemUIGoogle.apk files for 3 / 3 XL / 3a / 3a XL to GitHub repository. Updated Magisk installer slightly to accommodate this, and removed a few unnecessary lines. Won't make any difference if you already installed the first release.

[ROM][A515F/DS][OneUI 3.1 - S20 Port] Just4Fun v1

HELLo everyone...
After several weeks, months and before Android 12 released, i decided to share this ROM to this A51 community. Hopefully you guys enjoy it and don't offend me if the ROM is bad, so....let's get it ON.
Things to do before flashing:
1. Make sure you're on binary 5 (this ROM tested and using binary 5 vendor, so to avoid any broken or whatever error flash your device with latest firmware).
2. Backup your IMEI (highly recommended).
Flashing:
1. Clean flash is recommended. Flash kernel, flash J4F vendor and system.img, flash multy disabler (if necessary) then full wipe and also you can perform "typing YES" format. Reboot to recovery again, then flash as usual you guys always do (Magisk etc.).
ROM Features from S20 and Note 20 line up:
1. Samsung Dex (not full features coz need fix at kernel level).
2. Flagship live blur
3. Flagship edge lighting style
4. AirCommand (S pen)
5. LiveDrawing
6. Multy screen resolutions (HD+ - FHD+ - WQHD+)
7. 1000++ system fonts
8. Flagship sound quality and effects
9. Camera features unlocked (pro video etc.)
10. All original A51 features
11. Common tweaks here and there and so many possibility to unlock another S20 features
Bugs:
Minor glitch in pro mode video, and not really remember and deep testing everything, but hopefully still acceptable (hopefully ) but yeah..nothing's perfect, if you found one let's discuss together in A51 telegram group: https://t.me/samsunga51
Hall of Fame:
@MrWaehere for his awesome CRB kitchen
@VDavid003 and his rom TreeUI for my inspiration and countless help
@Yillié and his OFox recovery and also countless help and advise and ideas
@BlassGO and his Dynamic Installer, patches, advise and countless contributions (thanks for making AirCommand even greater lol)
@manudinath and his projects.
@Winb33 for fonts mod
@topjohnwu for Magisk
@ianmacd for multy disabler and TWRP
Stock Kernel Source
PM me if i forgot to mention someone.
Advise and Tips:
- It's normal during first boot if lags occurs, give the ROM some times to settle, finish your setup, update your apps and you good to go..
- It's better to avoid update in Galaxy store related to system app, such as MDE Service Framework, Samsung Core Services etc. It might causing conflict due to mixed up firmware. But anyway it's up to you.
- Please do not complain regarding app missing (getting debloated) and related to debloat. Because it's very hard to acomodate every person's taste. Bloatware is very Objective and absurd for each person and I know it's supposed to be using Aroma installer or any script but i don't have time that much to do that.

Development [ROM][13][UNOFFICIAL][Raven/Oriole] Magisk Patched GrapheneOS + Lockable Bootloader

Magisk Patched Unofficial GrapheneOS for the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro (oriole/raven)
This ROM will allow you to lock the boot loader. Do not ever disable the OEM unlocking checkbox when using a locked bootloader with root.
This is critically important. With root access, it is possible to corrupt the running system, for example by zeroing out the boot partition.
In this scenario, if the checkbox is turned off, both the OS and recovery mode will be made unbootable and fastboot flashing unlock will not be allowed.
This effectively renders the device hard bricked.
I am not responsible for any harm you may do to your device, follow at your own risk etc etc, Rooting your device can potentially introduce security flaws, I am not claiming this to be secure. If you would like to have more security and peace of mind then I highly recommend you follow This Guide to build this rom using your own encryption keys.
GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project. It's focused on the research and development of privacy and security technology including substantial improvements to sandboxing, exploit mitigations and the permission model. It was founded in 2014 and was formerly known as CopperheadOS.
The features page provides an overview of the substantial privacy and security improvements added by GrapheneOS to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Many of the past features were contributed to AOSP, Linux and other projects to improve privacy and security for billions of users so they're no longer listed on the features page.
More info:
Official releases are available on the releases page (Not Magisk Patched) and installation instructions are on the install page.
GrapheneOS also develops various apps and services with a focus on privacy and security. Vanadium is a hardened variant of the Chromium browser and WebView specifically built for GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS also includes our minimal security-focused PDF Viewer, our hardware-based Auditor app / attestation service providing local and remote verification of devices, our modern privacy / security focused camera app, and the externally developed Seedvault encrypted backup which was initially developed for inclusion in GrapheneOS.
No Google apps or services​GrapheneOS will never include either Google Play services or another implementation of Google services like microG. It's possible to install Play services as a set of fully sandboxed apps without special privileges via our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. See the FAQ section for more details on our plans for filling in the gaps from not shipping Play services and Google apps.
Installation Instructions: Fashing-factory-image
Locking the bootloader is Optional but does increase the device security Locking-the-bootloader
Update Instructions: simply follow these instructions Updates-sideloading to sideload the latest patched OTA update package (You can update from any previous version if using full ota update)

Builds for Pixel 6 (oriole)
Always do a backup of your data before flashing any updates, just in case.
I make no promises that this works or that I will provide regular updates. I will attempt to provide updates when they are available and I have time, you may have issues with this rom, you could lose your data or brick your device (although it's very unlikely if you follow the instructions and use common sense)

Yes. But not for a rooted version of it.
New Release 2022111800
Changes since the 2022111000 release:
don't skip ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation of apps that weren't recently used since we depend on full AOT compilation being done for performance rather than JIT compilation with background JIT profile guided AOT compilation like Android
battery usage UI: use fallback name for unknown components
change minimal value of battery saver schedule to 5% again as it was before Android 13
enable the post-upgrade "Optimizing apps" progress indication UI
app crash UI: show process uptime and optional extra text
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: show version of GmsCompatConfig in the crash UI
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: stop splitting multi-package PackageInstaller sessions
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve handling of activity starts
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: Parcel position wasn't reset by dynamic stubs
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: missing handling of ListSlices in dynamic stub
GmsCompatConfig: make sure Play Store PhenotypeFlags are overridable by Gservices flags (further deterring Play Store trying to update Play services / Play Store beyond supported versions)
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro (adevtool): drop unused face unlock components since we have no plans to enable support for an insecure face unlock implementation incapable providing reasonable security due to lack of dedicated face unlock hardware (Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL had dual infrared cameras, IR dot projector and IR flood illuminator providing a more secure biometric unlock system than fingerprint unlock as opposed to simply using the front camera in a way that could be done on any device)
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include gril library to avoid qns crash on Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include vendor_kernel_boot partition requirement in factory images metadata to force an error with an incompatible fastboot such as the currently buggy Arch Linux package
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): update GKI to Linux 5.10.150
Auditor: update to version 66

I don't see a real value in locking the bootloader. In theory, the only thing it protects is undetectable modification being made when the device is out of your direct control. However, strong security practices require you to assume that *anything* could have been done to the device when it is outside of your direct control, so the "security" you get from the locked bootloader is artificial.
ANY time a device leaves your physical control, you have to assume it to be compromised. No exceptions.
I would also like to point out that, no offense to OP, but using a "high security" operating system that *HAS* been modified by an unknown 3rd party.... is insane. I'd recommend that anyone interested in this actually take the time to understand the process and reproduce it on their own.

Sorry but I am not interested in arguing about this stuff
I didn't create this thread to argue about potential security issues or how secure phones really are
it seems you have more of an issue with the security of Android in general
I would recommend everyone who just wants to share opinions like this which are essentially unrelated to the ROM, please just don't
I am not claiming rooting your phone to be perfectly secure and I am not interested in arguing about it
Although as explained here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...pdated-november-9-2022.4343431/#post-85733797
there are advantages to using a locked bootloader, even with root.
optimumpro said:
The rom could be used on locked bootloader with ROOT (donate feature) with or without Gapps.
The benefits of LOCKED BOOTLOADER combined with WORKING AVB-2 protection are:
Get back your DRM L1 certificate. Most banking apps will work regardless of Magisk.
Security: Nobody and nothing can modify Kernel, Recovery and Virtual Partitions without triggering a red screen of death with the message 'your device is corrupted and cannot boot'.
At that point, the only option is to unlock bootloader. But, if a user had previously disabled OEM unlock in Developer settings, then unlocking becomes unavailable, and so does flashing via fastboot. In other words, if your phone gets into the hands of an adversary, their only option is to use MSM tool to make the phone work again, but no access to your data or any other partition.
Why prebuilt Magisk? Because you can't modify kernel or recovery on locked bootloader post installation, and that's exactly what Magisk does.

I am offering this as a free feature, not a donate feature and I have also created a guide so that anyone is able to build the rom and sign it using their own keys for even greater security than trusting me.
Magisk isn't just some unknown third party, Graphene, Magisk, AVBRoot, they are all open source projects

I'm not talking about the utility or security of root (hint: Its perfectly safe and secure when used RESPONSIBLY). I'm talking about the value of using a security hardened OS with modifications made by someone who you don't know and can't trust. Doing so throws away ALL security because there is no way to tell what else someone has changed.

So just follow the guide I provided so you can build the rom yourself, you can inspect all the source code and work out exactly what it's all doing if you are so inclined

Yes exactly!
@FireRattus is there any chance we can see pre-build images for Oriole in the future? I'm having trouble building it myself.

What are the troubles you are having with building it yourself? I can try my best to help
I would be able to build images for Oriole probably but I wouldn't be able to test them myself and building for more variants would take more time making updates slower so I don't want to invest in that currently.
I do think it's best to build it yourself if you are able so I am glad you have tried already
> What are the troubles you are having with building it yourself? I can try my best to help
My computer just doesn't have enough RAM + Disk space to build it, plus I seem to keep getting stuck at getting all the tools to work together
I'd be happy to donate monthly or whatnot to help keep up oriole builds though

I will try to build it for you, since the pixel 6 and 6 pro share the same Build ID, I should be able to build it without needing to download everything again
New Release #2022112500
Changes since the 2022111800 release:
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix missing handling of APEX ListSlices in dynamic stubs (improves compatibility when granting Nearby devices permission to Play services with a WearOS device connected)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: mark PackageInstallerStatusForwarder as not exported
Settings: avoid OBB toggle unnecessarily force stopping app
extend original-package renaming to static launcher shortcuts to fix Vanadium new tab shortcut for users with an install predating the package rename
Camera: update to version 57
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 107.0.5304.141
Contacts: add support for dark mode
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): restore fix for CVE-2022-3176 which was reverted upstream (GKI LTS branch) due to not being marked as a security fix and changing the GKI ABI
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL: set frozen patch level string to 2022-11-01 (has been provided since the 2022110800 release but we initially left the patch level string at the previous value)
port GrapheneOS changes to Linux 5.15 GKI LTS branch in order to prepare for 6th/7th generation Pixels potentially moving to the Linux 5.15 LTS and late 2023 devices which will be based on it

I am not able to test them myself but I have provided a patched, signed build which should work
just check post #3 for the download links, I would appreciate a donation if you feel it's worth it but no pressure
Edit: Moved it to post #2 with the other downloads

I don't see a real value in locking the bootloader. In theory, the only thing it protects is undetectable modification being made when the device is out of your direct control. However, strong security practices require you to assume that *anything* could have been done to the device when it is outside of your direct control, so the "security" you get from the locked bootloader is artificial.
ANY time a device leaves your physical control, you have to assume it to be compromised. No exceptions.
I would also like to point out that, no offense to OP, but using a "high security" operating system that *HAS* been modified by an unknown 3rd party.... is insane. I'd recommend that anyone interested in this actually take the time to understand the process and reproduce it on their own.

To be fair you'll always be using something done by a third party, including android itself, unless it's you writing and compiling your own OS.

Android is open source. Open source code is auditable. Compiled binaries are NOT.
