Probably a dumb question, but what are the installation steps if I am upgrading from another version of Pixel Dust? (8.1.0-20180513-RELEASE)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Circlesqr:
I tried dirty flashing R6 over R5 per the instructions given a few pages back, but I encountered a several random reboots the next day. So I followed the instructions from the first post; namely,

Reboot to twrp-3.2.1-2

Advanced Wipe (system, dalvik, data)

Flash ROM [R6]

Flash twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.1-2.zip

Reboot to Recovery (TWRP)

Reboot to System and give the Rom a few minutes to settle down.

Then reboot to Recovery (TWRP)

Flash Magisk-v16.x.zip

Reboot to System

Profit!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Circlesqr:
Uninstall?

Looking at the attached screenshot, is the blue uninstall button working for y'all? It's not working on mine. I have to use the Play store button to uninstall. FWIW, the Force Stop button next to it works perfectly.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Hey there, I am on r5 using the kernel from r6. It really works well in terms of energy efficiency.

Of course, I'm not using my phone too often right now.. because I'm on holidays..

Cheers!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Thanks for your report.

I wasn't able to reproduce it. Could you share a logcat, pls?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ditoevan:
Hey does this rom have any discussion group like on telegram or something? thank you, just confuse is it worth to unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom, just don't know which rom is better than stock hehe:D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Spezzi is the latest build on telegram going to be the official version??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] asad510:
slow charging changed kernel, still an issue..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
Can I make a suggestion [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION]? You could please make the settings dashboard item fro KA optional, as in if it is uninstalled it is removed from the menu? Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Maybe yes. I am waiting for more feedback. If no severe issues pop up, then I will move this build to the official ones.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Try to unplug the cable and again plugin, then it should switch to fast charging. It isn't a kernel related issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Good suggestion. I will consider it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] asad510:
I have tried the fast charging on multiple cables

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Also can you provide the kernel you use so i can reflash.

This issue with fast charging is weird any one else have this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
Thanks! That is the only thing kinda bugging my OCD, lol!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
I am clean flashing now, you are using the stock plug and cord that came with pixel xl?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
on the new beta build the only two issues I see are the slow charging problem and also inability to change i/o scheduler in the kernel auditor app. both these issues were present in the previous ROM as well... otherwise everything is working good

oh and also the quick settings tile editing menu where you choose which tiles to use is kinda buggy and chippy (missing items, some items can't be dragged up to use, etc)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
BTW, have you already tried to activate the fastcharging option via kernel adiutor app?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
If you're using magisk that might explain the I/O scheduler option. If you're not, just ignore me :cyclops:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
yes I have had that activated for awhile... maybe I will try toggling it a few times to see if that changes anything

that must be why... i wasn't aware this was an issue. is there a workaround for this??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Not to my knowledge unfortunately
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
I am thinking the charging issue lies in /system/system/lib/hw/power.pixeldust_marlin.so is this a schedtune fix modified file?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinetx:
looking to make the switch from PN. the latest build in OP 30th March.. I'm guessing there's a newer build out there? should I wait for that stable release first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
after rebooting, the pixel will fast charge properly until the device is unlocked (/data is mounted) which means that one of the post-data scripts is causing fast charge to not work properly

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

the new build is plenty stable enough for a daily driver as long as being able to fast charge isn't a necessity
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinetx:
Thanks bro. Where can I get the latest build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dablitzkrieg:
The OP
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] madroix:
I normally do not post complaints but this ROM basically wrecked my Pixel XL. I am not sure if it was the ROM or the combination of the ROM and the Magisk package but the devices boot slots were completely corrupted. I was able to get to TWRP and rescue my Titanium backup files, and lucky everything else backs up to drive so after scrubbing out both boot_a and boot_b, installing stock firmware I was back up and running using PN. The restore to stock was not easy and needed extensive ADB coding but it did end up working. I not here to bash a person's hard work, especially since alot of people are not having any issues like I did, I just want to warn folks that this could happen, and if it does you can recover. Keep up development and I am sure it will only get better.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] black1soarer:
tried both r5 and r6

Avito App isnt working, crashes immediately after app start

Lens blur also causes camera app to crash and saves blank picture
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Go ahead and ask your question.. this is the only discussion thread I am aware of.

However, I think that you won't get a clear answer. There is nothing better than stock in my opinion. Custom ROMs are just different, adding a few features on top.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] black1soarer:
Sorry, flashed back to stock July. Everything works fine, all apps, camera, blur.

Very sad cant have all this working at one time. I tried a lot of times and different ROMs, somewhere Avito works good, but lens & camera dont on any Custom ROM.

Maybe Gapps buggy with latest June-July updates?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DiversityHD:
Hi !

What about your battery life ? I have something like 2h and 15 minutes screen on time and I have only 10% left.

Any ideas on how to fix it ?

Thx
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
Are you using L Speed? I run it on every ROM I flash.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
Any idea on when fix will come for r6?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] black1soarer:
anybody has Lens Blur working in Camera app?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
I'm wondering if you install r6 and then EX kernel 3.09 afterwards would the phone achieve deep sleep? I'm still on r5 with EX 3.07 and need deep sleep for work related and 8 week old infant reasons. [emoji3]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
No, the problem which prevents the kernel to enter deep sleep mode is in the ROM. I've tested the suggested approach already.

I'd recommend you to stay on r5 until I have finished r7..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PANCAKER999:
Hello everyone! Just wanted to make a post I'm finally back into ROMs since they found a workaround for those of us that had locked bootloaders on Verizon! Anyway I'm curious if anyone else is having any slowdowns? I get them it seems like randomly and whenever I play any games I get a lot of lag and sometimes a freeze. Is anyone else experiencing this? Also whenever I run one of the shishu themes it seems to slow the phone. And I almost always crash when hanging up a phone call. I'm R6 currently. It seems like R5 is more stable (I'm guessing from other posts). Should I just switch? Thanks! :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cowsquad:
Does anyone on here know how to block this annoying wake lock. I have searched the web and tried everything stated there. From cleaning the port, to the OnePlus thread trick. Nothing has worked.

It is driving me insane. The 6a00000.ssusb it is draining my battery. I know is that because I keep getting the USB notification and keep snoozing it every 2 hours. I am tired of my phone not lasting when I actually need it.

Thank you in advance guys

I can't update a screenshot. Because I don't have permissions. Wth now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Circlesqr:
Love this ROM. It brought my Pixel XL back to life. One odd bug I'm encountering is sometimes my XL soft reboots when I unplug it from the charging cable. It's happening across three different brands/types of chargers. Both home & car. Seems to occur after the battery reaches 100%. Unplugging the charging cable brings up the boot animation. Anybody else experiencing this? I'm working on trapping it to a repeatable sequence. Then I'll grab a LOGCAT.

Thanks,
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] throwawaymcthrowaway:
Curious if anyone has a solution or more information on the ARCore problem. I think next I'll try giving AR-related apps root to see if they can find it that way. Would be really handy if the apps themselves would let us debug...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Hey Pixel Dust folks,

we're back'n kickass! That's our slogan for release #7.

What's new?

* Android 8.1.0_r38 July Security Updates (OPM4.171019.021.P1)

* Updated to latest 8.1 Google Apps

* Kernel: HellSpawn v1.0 - Linux 3.18.113 & incl. July security updates

* Thrown out experimental stuff in order to recover stability & performance

* Many bugfixes (read on in 2nd post)

What could be improved (but not necessarily needs to)?

* Kernel won't enter deep sleep mode. But during my tests, it wasn't an issue which bothered me, as battery life is still normal.

* ARCore is not working (Amazon app, AR stickers in camera...)

I hope that you'll enjoy Pixel Dust Goodness!

Have a nice day

;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
To confirm deep sleep is still not working correct?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Yes, deep sleep is no longer working since AOSP June update. When the screen is off, it stays most of the time on the lowest cpu frequency (307Mhz). It rarely enters deep sleep. Idk why.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] noidea24:
That's what it looks like.

I've gotten spoiled with lineageos's battery life, but can't deal with the bugs it has. So I'm looking for another ROM. I'm interested how battery life really is on the ROM without deep sleep.

Is there a manual action we can perform to force screen off/deep sleep?

Installing it now either way
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Here's my battery life using r7.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
Very interesting... Is there any way we could lower the CPU speed down to say 150mhz to save even more battery power?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Hum, good idea. I really could try that.. ;)

..even though it would be just a workaround.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] noidea24:
WiFi calling is not working, but that's been reported already.

I experience slow downs and stutters when using slim recents.

And I keep losing data...

For example. Last night, left my phone on wifi to torrent some things. When I checked it most downloads we're at 75%, the phone died because the charger slipped out, when I turned it back on, most downloaded data was lost and the downloads we're around 10%.

Same for photos and videos. I recorded some videos during my daughter's birthday. While trying to upload to Facebook the phone froze so I rebooted, when it came back on all videos sand photos I took we're not saved. (Not mad though).

I have no logs because it happens unexpectedly, but just throwing it out there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Which version do you use?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Hey there,

I'm glad that I have found a solution to the problem which prevented the kernel from entering deep sleep mode.

Just now, I have uploaded a HOTFIX based on r7.

Major changes:

* Fixed deep sleep issue

* Kernel version 1.1: Updated to Linux 3.18.114

Enjoy the Pixel Dust Goodness..

..and have a nice day

;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phantasm714:
Gonna flash this from r5 tomorrow! You seemed doubtful that you'd find a fix for the deep sleep issue, what was the culprit?? I'm excited to update to get all the r7 fixes/improvements AND retain deep sleep.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
The culprit has been (as always) a single commit, which I blindly picked without proper testing.

The problem is to find that commit among 50 others, and then compile new test builds and do a checking.. :eek:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phantasm714:
Well that sounds like a needle in a haystack. Is there anything note-worthy in the group of commits that you had to omit?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
This is seriously the best rom. Getting almost 2 days of battery with moderate use.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lcorkery243:
How do we flash the new releases? Is it safe to dirty flash without wiping system and data like the first install? I am on r5 right now and wanted to know how to flash r7 so I don't brick my phone! Also, can we flash the updated TWRP version 3.2.2-0 that was released July 1, 2018? Or has that version not been tested yet with this rom? Thanks in advance and for all you do!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xobsoletex:
3.2.2-0 works fine.

When I dirty flash I just wipe the system partition, just to avoid anything. You'll be fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lcorkery243:
Thank you!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NeCr0mStR:
Has the custom light notifications been fixed? By that, I mean, do the settings stick now when you turn on the custom notifications capability? This wasn't working a couple weeks ago and I know it had been mentioned.

Thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monoquilmes:
is there any way to change the quick pulldown from right to left?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
No, this wasn't considered to be one of the top features and hence isn't implemented.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] monoquilmes:
Thank you for your answer.

Btw, great work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tekno4ever:
You wipe system when you dirty flash? I thought wiping Davlik before / after flashing was a dirty flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xobsoletex:
Yes. I do this because I've run into issues like the camera crashing and wiping system fixed it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ditoevan:

its the only flash bat in my platform tools folder - when I run terminal prompt from that folder the directory points to the correct file.

Is there some way that adb is pulling from an old directory from when I originally rooted?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spezi77:
Yup, but has been really really fixed. ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Homeboy76:
Ok.

No.

Are you using terminal?

Are these four files in your 'platform-tools' folder?

a. flash-all.bat (Yes)

b. bootloader....img (Yes)

c. radio....img (Yes)

d. image-marlin-opm4.171019.021.p1.zip

If yes use file explorer and navigate to that folder.

a. Click the folder.

b. Then click the folder in the address bar.

(On the left side of the address bar, it should highlight the contents of the address bar.)

c. Type cmd press enter.

d. Type flash-all at the command prompt and press enter.
