How to make Pixel Screenshots, Pixel Studio, AI weather and Call notes work in Pixel 9 Series with unlocked bootloader.

Note - There is no guarantee that it will work for everyone. It is specifically for Pixel 9 Series users. A user with Pixel 8 Pro has working Pixel Studio (with sticker stuff) with this method

Required things.
1. Tricky Store
2. Play Integrity Fix
3. Zygisk assistant
5. Pif.json
6. Keybox.xml (you need to find it on your own to pass strong integrity)
7. Target.txt

Instructions for Pixel 9-
1. Install Tricky Store, Play Integrity Fix and Zygisk Assistant Module in magisk and reboot (turn on zygisk option in magisk if disabled)

2. Move the Pif.json to /data/adb/modules/playintegrityfix and Keybox.xml and Target.txt to /data/adb/tricky_store

3. Now wipe data of AI core/Private Compute Services/Google Play Services. You can also clear data of Pixel studio/Pixel Screenshots/Weather/Phone by google

4. Don't forget to update the above apps to the latest versions as well. You can check on apkmirror for the latest versions.

4. Reboot

Instructions for Pixel 8 Pro -
1. You need Lsposed Mod and Pixel Studio enabler lsposed module
2. Rest of the instructions are same as Pixel 9.

Google will surely revoke access to the leaked keybox which we are using here. So this method may not work in the future. You can use key attestation app to check if your device is showing as locked or not.

This could also work with Kernsu/Apatch if you install the modules support these root methods. With Aptach, it works. You will additionally need zygisk-next module for apatch/kernelSu.
