Yeah, curious if anyone else has the same issues. If not, I'll just try again before getting a log when I get home.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
give me 13 minutes, I'm about to flash...

edit... i dont have any recents either...

edit 2... rebooted - recents are indeed there ;-]

edit 3... what camera app is this? tis a cool one, AND lens blur actually works (1st pie rom to work for me)

edit 4... nova launcher - recents - borks out ;-[
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
It's the 6.1 update. Basically from the Pixel 3 but without some features like portrait, would be great to see those added in the future though! Recents issue seems to be related to the launcher, but I could be wrong. I can't get a log just yet though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
idk wtf 6.1 is buttt oh ok cool lol. yea i just install camera nx for portrait mode. 2 cameras for 1 feature but what can ya do

i have noticed that when you set a launcher as always thats when recents borks out. so the workaround is to find whatever launcher u want to use then uninstall or disable all other launchers - booooom success...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Turned out I was right, fixed the recents by installing the stock Pixel launcher (newest one on APKmirror, from the Pixel 3) and everything works now!

Edit: Fixed 3rd party launcher issues too!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
What the heck, I mixed up the Pixel launchers :/

I confirm that the latest version of pix3l launcher (Oct 10) will fix the recents issue.

I'll try to share a new build soon..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
No problem! Was a easy fix, everything else seems to be fine after the launcher was switched out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
It's all good. pixel launcher doesnt have tap gestures anyway lol, much rather have portrait mode wink wink

is there carrier label option somewhere? I gotta get rid of it, keeps on making me think its a notification up there

edit... scratch that carrier label bs, its not a burden. just realized battery life is more important
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chrisc44890:

Im all a go with those options.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
How did you do it? I uninstalled Pixel Launcher and even after a reboot I kept getting pixel Launcher FC and I was using nova launcher
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chrisc44890:
I followed the install instructions completely and the only thing that mentions AOD is the quick settings tile but turning that on does nothing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
I used a root browser, replaced the system one with the latest one from APKmirror, set permissions and reboot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Battery saver disables it, AOD is under display - Ambient display in settings.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chrisc44890:
Battery saver is turned off and I don't have Ambient Display in settings. I'm attempting a fresh install now but if it still doesn't work I'll post a screenshot.

Edit: A fresh install without copying my data through set up fixed it. I'm assuming something went wrong copying my data over that stopped it from working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Weird, my system partition says only 18mb and it would not let me do it. Says not enough space. I did a clean install after flashing factory images
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Shows only 18mb of space.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Make sure you change the file name on the one from APKmirror, I had the same error until I noticed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
That worked thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
weird you guys had to go through all that for the launcher. Here's what i did, used tibu to disable/uninstall all other launcher leaving nova as the only one left so it default by default (see what i did there lol, anywho) then reboot and success.

On PIE you have to reboot the system after "building" a substratum theme. Then select "select and activate".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
When you build and enable the theme, do any layers show up under the manager tab? If no, reboot, then go back to the manager tab, choose the layers you want on and enable them

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Is the hotfix just the launcher? If I already switched it out and fixed the issues, is there any need to update?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
release one (hotfix) - 2018-10-12

- Use default sounds from Android 9.0

- Tweaks: Set default values for increased performance & battery life.

- Revert "BatteryMeterView: Don't force show percent during charging, if set hidden"

- StatusBarSettings: Small code improvements for battery options.

- Use the correct Pix3l Launcher (fix for recents issue).

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
Read the last page - there is a solution there
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Thanks for sharing your story. There is a general warning/disclaimer in the OP, which I thought is sufficient.

However, I am sorry to hear about your awkward situation. I have found myself in a similar situation when I flashed PN. I am confident that this problem has not been caused by the installation routine of this ROM. In my point of view the concept of having multiple boot slots isn't well thought. Per default the manufacturer doesn't take care of making both slots bootable. But there is a nice trick to prevent any troubles..

In order to reduce the probability of boot slot corruption I highly recommend to install the latest stock factory image before flashing a custom ROM. Hereby it is also important to install the boot image to slots a + b. In order to do so one has to be familiar with using fastboot (not ADB coding as mentioned above).

If I find a little time I will add a brief tutorial to the OP.

And now, have a nice day without phobia! ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rod_ol_fo:
Well that's unfair. Sometimes it's a bad flash. Sometimes it's user error. I had to do the same w/pn but I didn't post on the thread. Just run the toolkit next time, it's a lifesaver. I constantly flash ROMs just cuz and come across all sorts of issues (we all do) but you cant bash the dev.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
BTW, I forgot to mention something. Be warned if you are about to flash Magisk. The risk of corrupting your device gets higher. Magisk requires you to be on the latest TWRP recovery which is known to be unstable on pixel devices.

In another thread they say that after flashing Magisk, you should reinstall the regular TWRP recovery to avoid any bizarre issues. Maybe that has been the scenario of [MENTION=1769347]madroix[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
this rom didn't wreck your pixel , you wrecked your pixel ... and adb doesn't require any extensive "coding"
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
You really shouldn't default the blame to the os for your misfortunes. First and foremost, theres always a risk when you modify a system like Android that you chose to take. Secondly, you certainly would not be the only one, if the room was at fault. I have a bit of experience, and I can say with my head held high, this a great custom build. I'd be interested in the specifics of your demise. I've done things to my pixel xl most wonderful dare, and it's hung in through the torture. 95% of the time the worst case scenarios are recoverable. Unless you somehow corrupt the bootloader. Hang it up if so. As seen by the flood of bricked Nexus' 6Ps Nougat fiasco.

Take the risk.... With the rewards. (Or run stock) :confused:

Spezzi on latest build getting carrier provisioning force close and unable to get mobile data to connect. Tried dirty flash and clean flash any ideas what may be causing this? Sprint 7.1.2. Beta build before this build no issues with this??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
Its enabled and running fine for me. Amps were higher than the max available. The classparh is been pretty constant. /sys/class/power_supply... Initially I had to change the ampere apps directly but haven't lately.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Which is your country?

Into 7.1.2 build I have merged National Roaming Info from PN ROM. See here: https://github.com/pixeldustproject/android_frameworks_base/commits/n

Maybe that has caused any side effects?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] janjan:
I can confirm this issue. No data suddenly
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] madroix:
I wasn't trying to defame the DEV or his work. I thought that I made that clear in the post. I grateful for any and all work people do without getting paid and just for the love of tinkering. God knows that I couldn't do it. I was simply trying to get across that if this does cause issues it is recoverable but with some work. Apologize for using the term "adb" and not fastboot. It was really late and I had just finished restoring the device.

Sprint USA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razrlover:
Very classy response.

I had a corrupted partion or boot slot as well on PN, however with this device i would not blame Nate or his Rom, this new phone/slot/recovery layout is very tricky and unpredictable imho.

I would appreciate any specific instructions regarding installation and whatever else that you feel is needed in OP. Btw this in not a slam on the users post, just pointing out my experience. Been flashing for years and this device makes me feel like a noob.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
I have revised the installation instructions in the OP.

P.S.: At first, I think that Pixel made everyone feel like a noob. ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:

Whenever I set an app to not show notifications on the lock screen, I have to reboot my phone first before it will actually take effect, and then after a while it will just revert back to showing on the lock screen. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
It's a pain but you can see if it does it on a clean flash.

I can try flashing this Rom later today and let you know if it happens to me, but someone might report back before then so we will see. Is it possible it's happening based on the file size you're sending?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
you have to turn block on to have notifications not show... it looks like from your pictures everything is working as it should
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bravesfan171:
No, not block all notifications. Just "Don't show notifications at all" on the lock screen. I'm not trying to block all notifications when the screen is unlocked.

I must be doing something wrong. I flashed back to stock 9.0 Oct (forgot to remove userdata delete - fml) and booted fine. Used it for a bit, redid my pin and what not. I fastbooted TWRP (most recent 3.2.3.1), Advanced Wiped, flashed PD, then flashed the TWRP installer. I pick reboot to Recovery through TWRP and I get a ramdump bootcycle.

I'm currently flashing stock back again. Did I do something wrong? did I miss something?

Once you build and enable the theme, reboot the phone, go back to subs, into manager, then enable the layers you want
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
It actually doesn't matter whether you're on A or B specifically. What matters is that when you flash a ROM (and only a ROM) it flashes to the OPPOSITE slot that you're currently on. That's why you need to reboot Recovery before rebooting System, because rebooting Recovery switches your current slot.

So if you're on A and flash a ROM, you're flashing it to B. Then you reboot Recovery to switch to slot B, then reboot System to boot slot B. This process also works if you start on B and flash to A.
