First off, thank you very much for the dedicated work you and everyone else put into this ROM.

It's not super important but I wonder if a non-gapps version of the ROM could be made available for those who want to use microg? It seems like more and more ROMS are including stock Gapps in their builds for some reason which I find frustrating. But I understand I'm probably in the minority.

Or if it is too difficult to make a separate non-gapps version can you say which stock gapps are safe to remove? I've tried removing all of them on another ROM before and it wouldn't boot.

Thank YOU!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ovu85:
have you tried flashing the recovery after all that?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kurtisherzog88:
I have not. I'm assuming you mean via fastboot? That was the next thing I was going to try. Should I flash the latest TWRP (as there is a more recent version than the one I currently have)? Thanks for the response!

Still having frequent System UI crashes and QS tiles not responding.

Started with release six.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tholmes8291:
I'm having similar issues with apps frequently not opening or not opening fully, hanging, and lagging. Other times it runs fine. Weird

Went back to release 5 and all is well again
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ovu85:
All above + gps issues(after using it about an hour it just stops functioning, doesn't answer can't turn on/off. After a reboot can be used for another one hour)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kurtisherzog88:
Thanks for the help to ovu85 and flashing recovery did get me into TWRP, however, this was all my mistake to begin with. For those still "learning the ropes" (like me!), follow ALL instructions that are given:

1. Reboot to TWRP recovery

2. Advanced Wipe (system, dalvik, data)

3. Flash ROM

4. Flash twrp-pixel-installer.zip.

5. Reboot System (Ignore the message: No OS installed)

Do not flash a vendor.img (Pixel Dust ROM has a custom vendor image included)

Do not flash any third party GApps (Pixel Dust ROM has Google Apps included)

At the initial boot you need a little patience before you can enjoy the Pixel Dust Goodness!

I neglected number 4. Have since restarted and all is working well. Thanks all!

My experience with Pixel Dust Sailfish

I have just hopped off Pixel Dust for sailfish today, jumping back to stock 8.1 for my sailfish pixel.

The transparency-custom UI theme is nice and great options for backgrounds, the ROM looks beautiful. Unfortunately after trying the major release on this XDA post then updating to the newest version a week ago I still have a terrible experience with the GPS services. Using maps was unreliable and next to impossible. On the first major release I would have to reboot my phone every 16-18 hours or the GPS service would fail when starting a trip in Google Maps. After the update it somehow appeared to be worse, some times the service would come back in the newer version which was an improvement over the major release I started with, but the service would start to have issues much sooner and often I ended up rebooting my phone 2-3 times in the day to use Google Maps.

The other issue I ran into was alarms with my third party app, Sleep for Android. Every so often the alarm would not trigger, a very important issue for me although most likely minimal to many users here.

Since GPS is a necessity for me I have to swap off this ROM, otherwise I would have used it for my daily driver for much longer.

On the newer versions I did notice the battery indication wasn't accurate anymore, sometimes showing stuck at 97% charged even though I know it's 100% or jumping down 15% in 20 minutes but sticking at 47% for a long time.

I thought I would leave my experience with the ROM and allow for further improvements!

Best of luck

Hey all, how do I get the monthly updates? Do I really have to wipe system?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] changoland:
This. All this. These issues were ones my girl had stand out as show stopping within 12 hours of use. This ROM is great and I hope it can be fixed, but the major issues called out in this post have me scrambling for the next ROM project to ride out. Hope these can be settled soon.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ovu85:
There's no OTA on Pixel Dust rom. You won't lose your apps if you wipe the system. If you wipe data you'll lose all apps/settings.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Myo Thu Htet:
Same here.i need to reboot every one hour ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
Everything great here. Didn't reboot for 10 days and everything works just fine, GPS included.

Thank you [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION]! Great ROM!

Maybe one little thing. Could you build an option that one can regulate the ring volume direct with the buttons. That would we awesome!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Chris0706:
I enjoy the Rom, but I lack the options for notifications.. Where is priority for notifications and is there still an option to always extend notifications?

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kurtisherzog88:
Yeah, Netflix started blocking rooted phones from downloading from the Play Store a while back. You should be able to download the apk direct from the Netflix website.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Soul-Seer:
Just tried to install the APK from that link and it still says "this device is not supported by the app" when I go to open it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bige93:
Does this ROM still has location toggle that you have to tap 3 times to get from on to off?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WishMi:
Yes, High accuracy -battery save - only gps - off.

I've been doing some more testing as of late related to the GPS issues and apps not launching. The one common denominator I found was the March 6th update with malformed vendor image that I took. I am curious to know who took that update & experienced issues on subsequent updates. I noticed these same issues on Official Lineage 16 as well when trying to switch to it. Which is odd because I wouldn't expect two separate roms from different devs to have same exact problems. I suspect it had to be something with one of the phones many partitions that aren't directly flashed by PD/LOS.

Here's what I recommend.... Restore your device to complete stock using the latest factory image and make sure that it flashes to both slots A and B. You can fastboot boot TWRP.img to switch active slot A/B before re-running the ./flash-all.sh for a second pass to ensure both slots have been updated.

Afterwards re-flash your custom ROM to both slots (slot A to B, slot B to A), avoid Magisk or other modifications until you're sure apps & GPS are fully functional (or not). You should probably run PixelDust unmodified for at least a day or two in non root state under various conditions. Install your most used apps, slowly, rebooting along the way and making sure things continue to work as expected. Test GPS, sensors, cam, calls, data and anything you can think of.

I just did this and haven't noticed a single dropping on GPS today or app not launching properly. Just drove 40mi with maps on too. I intend to do some more testing but I feel pretty confident that restoring stock to both slots before re-flashing custom Pie based ROMs will fix these issues. I'm holding off on Magisk for now just to be safe, will probably install tomorrow and continue.

Before performing this procedure Gmaps would randomly search for GPS signal or crash, apps would stop launching or responding and sometimes on reboot apps wouldn't launch at all. I'm keeping my fingers crossed now but looks like I nailed it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] r29:
Curious if anyone else is getting system ui crash on the latest build?

Might do a clean install soon and see unless others are having issues. Much appreciated love the rom btw =)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GillaxGurilla:
Multiple times/day since release 5

Was also going to try clean install with next release :fingerscrossed:

Hello there!

Pixel Dust R4 Android 7.1.2_r8 (N2G47O) has arrived for sailfish, too!

Enjoy the Goodness...

:cool:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mikeprius:
Is it best then to just keep the pre installed kernel with the ROM
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
On pre installed kernel you need to flash the schedtunefix (see below) to make it lag free.

Thanks that you mentioned it. I am forgetting things.

Schedtune fix can be downloaded from DespairFactor's google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tnYt16-NAUYTlZc0hEcVo4TlU/view

schedtunefix10.zip works great for me..
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] davidisflash:
I haven't tried it yet on the latest build but on the 5/1 build, I might finally have a workaround for both the phone reset issue and Google Play Services crashing when hooking up Android Auto to my car! For both Android Auto and Google Play Services, go into App Ops in the Pixel Dust section of settings. For both, disable the keep awake and always run in background options (this will save battery too). Allow both to auto-start. Two days with this and haven't seen any issues yet! That's definitely the longest I've gone issue free!

Such an awesome ROM. I tried RR ROM but it didn't have the nice App Ops settings section like this one so I came back.

Also, for anyone trying to use Viper / ARISE sound mod. Simply just flash the 2.94 AROMA zip package on the Arise sound mod XDA, and it works great with this ROM. I like that zip because the wizard makes it so easy to install. If you go for the newer releases like Magnum Opus it requires some manual patch work which can be annoying.

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] still no "supply power" option in USB options?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheBurgh:
How do you configurable QS columns/rows count? I can't locate in the settings.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Still no. I didn't find the time to decompile the factory image and research/extract what is needed.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
You can do this with help of the "QS customizer". Enter it by pulling down the QS tiles and click on the edit button. While in edit mode, the menu which is displayed top right behind the three dots allows you to set custom rows/columns count.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
Wish I could help man! That option is in factory images as well as Pure Nexus. I really like your ROM but I really like this feature too and because pixel camera and this feature blows my iphone owner friends minds
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Are you absolutely sure that it is in PureNexus? If that's true, I could focus on it in my research...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
Yes, I am sure. Looks like it has something to do with the kernel. Stock PureNexus kernel has the supply power option. I installed despair R6 EXP Pure Nexus and didnt have "supply power" option. I installed EX Kernel and I got the option back. I am not sure if EX on Pixel Dust will give that option. I dont have pixel dust installed so I cant test. Some one else can help us with that.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] snOwjAwk:
Hello, why would I wanna install schedtunefix? I haven't had any problems so far nor any lag...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Then you may stay without it... It isn't mandatory! ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
I had a talk to DespairFactor. He doesn't think that it is an issue in his kernel: https://github.com/DespairFactor/marlin/issues/2

I suggest that we do further tests with different kernels, kernel managers to see how to re-activate the "supply power" option..
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
First of all, thanks for looking into it.

We are in luck. I installed pixel dust yesterday. I didnt have the "supply power" option right off the bet. I installed EX Kernel and I got it. I installed Sharkey R6 (not EXP, since stock is EXP-based(?)) and lost it. See the screenshot attached.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Pixel dust uses Sharkey-EXP. Please try that one as well.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
I did try that because your rom came installed with it and no "supply power" option. Thats where this conversation started.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Alright, any chance to take a logcat when you installed/used Ex kernel manager? I think that any modification to the sysfs tunables is put into this log. Maybe we have a chance to grab it from there. This would allow me to put it into a script that gets executed at the boot sequence of PD ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
What kind of logcat do you want? Log during EX kernel installation or when selecting "supply power" option from usb options
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
The latter. BTW, doesnt Ex kernel manager have an option to show the commands?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] r29:
I'm using the one included in the build. But I guess I'll wait for may patch and do a clean install as well.

Thanks for the reply =)

So I use this ROM which is why I will post here but I firmly believe this is an underlying problem with Pie as I have experienced this problem on stock. I also post here because I believe ROM devs are probably most likely the ones who can find and solve this problem...

The trouble is with email app(s), now I am only using ProtonMail's app at the moment but had experienced this with others. Push notifications do not seem to work properly when the device is connected to wifi networks. For instance I can be sitting here at the computer and I'll have protonmail open and will see the email come in. My phone will be on the desk and not get the message for 15 minutes or even as long as an hour later. If I pick up the phone it immediately checks and will suddenly sync up a bunch of messages. I have the app set to not optimize in battery optimization.

Last week I went back to the last stock Oreo build and had no issues at all and yesterday loaded the stock may update and then R37 of this ROM and the issues returned.

Anyone else having Messages app crashes since May release, or is it just me?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] -Jeka-:
For me the main problem is that several times per day apps are stopping opening. when I tap app icon it becomes highlighted for a second and after that nothing happens, any app can't be opened. I also tried to return to apps from recents, but it doesn't react on tapping app. only last used app can be opened, both from launcher and from recents. After reboot problem dissappears. Does anyone has such issue? BTW I'm using nova launcher. Issue is present on at least 3 latest builds.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jesse402:
I recently started running into this issue too on Bootleggers rom. Wondering if it could be a magisk thing? That was updated to 19.1 recently, or maybe it's a module causing issues? I use f-droid priv extension, roboto fonts, yt vanced, busybox, and viper4android. Also not happening all the time, sometimes first app after boot won't open, sometimes it just happens randomly. Also using nova.

I was unable to receive my Paypal login code today via text until I rebooted. I had a similar problem with the phone not connecting to the network properly one day on release 7. I dialed and ring ring ring, but no answer. If I dialed with the local area code prefix it would connect. A reboot fixed it.

I also had a spontaneous reboot today while listening to Spotify, though I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ilko:
So, almost 24 hours after a clean flash, no problem for now. I just need to find a way of partitioning the mem, because full flash wipe the entire internal memory. This is a big mess IMO.

For the ROM itself, I've noticed some cons :

• No double tap to wake (it actually needs 4 taps when quick check is enabled)

• No QS tile for USB tether (present in Oreo)

• No custom clear all recents button

• Some system notifications need to be expanded to interact with (not in Oreo)

• When it is in charge, the green led indicator overrides all other indicators (SMS, maybe calls...)

• Themes are not automatically appplied to related apps (phone, messages...)

• User should have the choice of installing desired google apps package (nano, micro...)

• No performance mods

• Custom sounds appear only in general settings view (not in Clock, etc)

Other than that, it's a very nice ROM. I'm used to RR ROM which has a lot of features, but those I've mentionned are essentials to me.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Master Cylinder:
It already

IS

partitioned! This has never happened to me on this or any ROM, or on other phones. Did you select internal memory wipe via TWRP?

I thought that a few builds ago, though now I've found that it just takes a second to finally show up. It doesn't seem as responsive, though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ilko:
I was talking about the factory image, not the ROM. I own my device since a few days only and it came with Oreo as stock. I updated it to Pie via OTA at first but as mentioned above, this is probably the reason of the introduced issues. So I did a clean factory flash the second time and it's ok for the moment, but this procedure actually wipes the entire memory. The very bad side of not having a SDC slot...

Now, my only concern is to get rid of the pixel update notification which is persistent. It is waiting for WiFi, that I don't have. Already set to not save data and update over any network, but no luck.

Why cant I flash Franco kernel on this rom. using twrp, and I get new image is larger than boot partition. I tried using the Franco app to flash. But still nothing. I want to really undervolt this rom. Any Help?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Master Cylinder:
When you flashed the factory image, did you remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file first? If you don't, it wipes the memory.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ilko:
Of course not, it wouldn't be a clean flash otherwise.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Master Cylinder:
If you leave the -w it wipes all of your storage! See picture below from https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-9-0-pie-unlock-t3825866. I've done this at least 20 times on mine. Never lost any data of any kind. Clean, dirty, internal, external, left, right, alpha, omega, .... All of the memory is partitioned into many partitions.
