Just tried getting this ROM going and running into issues with recovery/TWRP/Magisk. I'm coming for LOS 17.

Installed Stock ROM and then installed this ROM just fine. Very nice ROM!

Does anyone know why the following would happen...? When I reboot into the default recovery and try to reboot to system or even shut down, it just reboots back to recovery with an error message of "Unable to start Netlink manager" . Tried googling this but came back with nothing useful.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sa3e1:
Having the same issue, only way to exit the recovery was pressing power button for ca 10sec. This new PixelDust recovery doesn't seem to work, is there a new method for applying OTA updates now?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Just install TWRP for your device to fix this problem.

What is this new PixelDust recovery?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] martyd73:
Does the oem upgrade work for this rom? Ive tried a few times even after hours and hours it stays stuck at finalizing?

NVM my bad just went threw the hidden sections on the front post sorry for the dumb question....

It's required for Pixel 3 and higher to allow flashing via sideload
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] n3kf:
Ok, I'm getting notice about the August PixelDust OTA being available. If I accept the update, and since I have TWRP and Magisk installed, will I lose both TWRP and Magisk and have to reflash them?. I think the answer is yes, but just want to be prepared for what I need to do. Thank you. And loving the ROM!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wavedashdoc:
Instructions are in the OP. Please read or search as this is already answered.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] n3kf:
Alright in case anyone searches and wants to know, if you follow the instructions in the OP for the OTA, you will have to reflash TWRP (if you want it), and Magisk if you use that for root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
Or you can.....

1. Update the system via the OTA updater and let it install completely. Do not press the reboot button.

2. Now install TWRP A/B Retention Script from Magisk Manger. This module is available on Magisk (if you have twrp as custom recovery) Skip this if you do not have TWRP installed

3. Go to (Magisk Manager → Install → Install to Inactive Slot) and install Magisk.

4.Once Magisk installation is done, press the reboot button in Magisk Manager.

Your phone may or may not get into a bootloop once, if that happens just restart the phone again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dilacerated:
Hello all --> a question. As far as TWRP goes can I start out of the gate on a new setup using the following:

twrp-3.4.0-0-marlin.img

twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-marlin.zip

twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.3.0-0.zip (which is what I assume the OP instructions is referring to when mentioning "twrp-pixel-installer.zip")
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
I'd personally stick with the third although after set-up you'll have to disable pin/pattern whichever you prefer before booting back into TWRP just remember to flash directly after ROM?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dilacerated:
Really? I haven't had an A/B device until now and after eating last night I read and read. Since 3.3.0 there was no longer a need to flash "installer" ZIP's --> is there a reason why this doesn't apply to Marlin? I've got 3.3.1 on my N6P and have no issue with it and my pattern.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
Well it's up to you I'm just saying what works for me everyone has their own way of doing things ?.

Hello there! I just have a question regarding Android 11. Will you port it to the Marlin some day?

I (and many others) would be so grateful!

And I don't want an ETA. Just want to know if you'll ever support Android 11 for the Marlin :angel:

Looking forward to an answer (whatever it is)! :fingers-crossed:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
i have a question ,

after i have installed this rom , when i play World of Tankz in Full HD "high" , i have a lot of lags and slow performance (i already play it with OnePlus 3 , it was amazing)

so i dont know if it is something related to the Pixel XL itself or there is something on this ROM or kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
You could use Kernel Adiutor (which is built-in into Settings) to adjust the kernel to your needs.

Per default everything is balanced for a good UX/battery life.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Edit: that's not true. Please check the package name if your dialer. It says com.google.android.dialer

Unable to remove all quick settings tiles without SystemUI crashing.

I verified that Dirty Unicorns and Screwed ROM have the same issue.

Tipsy ROM does not have the issue. But I think it's LOS based instead of AOSP.

You can remove all but two quick settings tiles. Once you remove that second from last tile, the system UI crashes and keeps crashing even after reboot.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
If you need any testing done today, I'm happy to help out.

But I require Slim Recent's, so I wouldn't be able to stick around. :)

Omni Recent's is cool but I'm used to Slim.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] almightysiman:
omni recent is a little slow than slim's
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Great! It is unlikely that a new test build will arrive by today..

However, in case that we add OmniRecents, then SlimRecents would be still available as alternative option.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
I think your ROM currently has OmniRecents but lacks SlimRecents.

Add Slim and I'll be back for more testing! :) :good:

Thanks for your support of this device! Does this require repartitioning like the pixel experience rom? Also does this include the stock gcam or cstark's gcam?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Repartitioning is not required. Otherwise it would of course be stated in the instructions.

Stock gcam is supported.

@spezi77 what do you mean by "pixel identity of pixel 5" exactly. Does this mean that for all practical purposes, all external sources including google play will see this handset as pixel 5? Also, does this mean that unlimited backup of photos/vids thats available on og pixel xl will no longer be unlimited since now this handset will be seen as pixel 5?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lmvuong1997:
I have installed and used pixel dust 11 with magisk for 1 day, everything worked fine except:

- i had to set the apn to default after reboot to connect to cellular data (same as pixel experience's bug, it's been fixed)

- at first boot, the google sound settings exit right after i open it. After i reboot, it worked fine.

- the magisk manager app was sometimes freezing. Although i force stopped it then open it still freeze. I had to reboot to make it normal (this don't happen with pixel experience)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] anas.aleem:
found some bugs

1) battery drain fast even if AOD turned off

2) mobile starts to heat up even from moderate use ( official android 10 didnt have that)

3) just feels a bit laggy, not much but is noticeable

4) i dont know what's causing this but instagram videos glitches occasioonally

kindly look into this matter and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK <3

Where do you see to change the APN? I'm on Verizon and don't see any APN settings to change in the Mobile Data section (or elsewhere), which really stops me from being able to use this ROM.

EDIT: It was working fine with PixelDust on Android 10 from August 2020

EDIT 2: My only options are Mobile Data on/off, Roaming on/off, App data usage, Data warning & limit, Preferred network type (set to LTE), and System select (home only or automatic). And it calls my non-working data connection "Preferred System"
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gdbdable:
Hello, flashed this ROM yesterday, but today noticed that mobile data not work(neither LTE, 3g, 2g)

It is known issue or a i am doing something wrong?

(reboot and switch to airplane mode not helps)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
In this case you should manually set the APN in mobile network settings.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gdbdable:
Thank you, it helps!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Obsqured:
Saw someone mention that Instagram videos glitch after flashing this rom, and just wanted to confirm that I'm having that issue too.

The videos get all pixelated and muddy, making them almost unwatchable.

I'm also having the issue with mobile data not working, but can confirm that setting the apn manually fixes it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fiveighteen:
Update on this. I reverted back to PixelDust X CAF from 07-Aug-2020, where I confirmed there is an "Access Point Names" selection at the bottom of the Mobile Data screen where you can at least view the APN. I believe Verizon users will not be able to see this option on Pixel Dust 11 to add/change mobile data, so it will never work. Steer clear if using Verizon until @spezi77 can address this matter. Nice work otherwise!

Moderator Announcement: Thread cleaned!

This is a development site and people contribute work as a fun hobby, NOT A JOB!

They don't owe you anything!

If a ROM does not work for you, what did you do to contribute?

Did you clean flash? Did you run a log of errors to help the developer?

Or were you just too lazy to help and prefer to leech and complain?

This world will only get better if we all learn to give instead of always taking!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Duanpao:
Hello, I have previously upgraded from a lower version of PixelDust and checking at the new update there seems to be a multitude of issues.

Starting out I seem to be unable to access Developer options it just says "Developer options are not available for this user"

Whenever pressing on Multiple users nothing happens the button just flickers and stays on the same menu/screen.

The quick pulldown menu I seem to be getting no notifications updates whatsoever, I have checked my settings they seem fine. I also cannot move around the tiles or expand the tiles on the QS either.

Finally, whenever enabling WIFI it seems to enable mobile data with it this seems like a bug as in previous versions it did not do that.

I cannot provide a logcat because well.. I cannot access developer mode.

Thank you for creating PixelDust.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Please describe your steps of upgrading to the new version. In order to avoid bizarre issues (like yours) a clean installation is always recommended.

I have a Google Pixel XL on Sprint. Can't seem to get mobile data to work. I know there was previous comments about APN settings but I am unable to change manually
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Duanpao:
I dirty flashed, as usual, to update to the new version since OTA update does not work.

Download Rom on the phone

Flash Via TWRP

Dalvik Clear

Reboot

It seems weird that updating to the same ROM type would cause these kinds of issues as it would be annoying to clear user data all the time.

First of all, thank you for your work on this fantastic ROM, first time I've used a custom ROM and it's going to give my Pixel a whole new lease of life! Installation was almost entirely a breeze - I followed the instructions on the first post which all went smoothly.

I have a couple of minor issues - I'm hoping I don't have to do a full reinstall but that might be the only solution! Firstly, the normal wallpaper options don't appear in the settings menu - I can change wallpaper using the PixelDust wallpapers but not my own pictures. If I open a picture through Google Phones and Use As it just crashes to home screen.

I also can't edit my APNs, or permanently select another APN to use. I currently have LTE rather than 4G connectivity but I can't edit my APN to try and correct it.

Thanks again for your hard work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pudworthy:
I also have been experiencing this - I had it previously in the stock ROM as well so it doesn't seem to be ROM-specific. I went to instagram.com on Chrome and installed the Chrome app which runs no problem.

Anyone having issues with the Google app acting wonky. It takes forever to populate search results and when it does, you select one and it freezes. Kill the app and finally the chrome built in browser pops up.

Any search from chrome runs fine.

Might be. I flashed the ROM, then TWRP. If I selected to reboot into Recovery, the phone would boot up into system. If I select to Power Off and then try to boot into recovery from the bootloader using Power + Vol Down it just boots into System anyways. I can never Flash the ROM, TWRP, then reboot into TWRP.
