Thanks for the update.

Does it tackle the low brightness issue mentioned earlier? Even at 90% in daylight the screen is still dark.

(this brightness level was achieved at less than 50% in Nexus 5....)

I don't use other kernel than the one offered by the ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kkjb:
For display brightness, you need high brightness mod. Kernel editors, pick your favorite to enable it (root needed) In my experience, no ROM stock or otherwise experience this. It's a function of our display type.

AOD issue
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PapaSmurf6768:
Thanks spezi. Clock widget is working in Feb build :)

Any reason why I can't get my launcher Weather widget to display in Fahrenheit? In the "At a Glance" portion of the launcher.

Have tried changing all sorts of Google customize stuff, and when I open the widget for the full weather it's in F. Just not on the home screen.

Had same issue on Bootleggers, looks to be a new launcher?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ziouzitsou:
Thanks, I tested the high brightness mod from Kernel Adiutor > Screen.

However it sets to 100% where I am not able to adjust it via the slider.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
You're welcome. You can change the temperature unit in PDSettings > Lock screen > weather > temperature unit.

Quick question for spezi77. I want to change the charging sound notification when the phone gets plugged in to something else. Is it as simple as dropping a ogg file in a specific location or is there some more elaborate Dev work that needs to be done?

Question for those of us on the latest update: are you able to search for apps in the search bar when you have the app drawer pulled up? This hasn't been working for me since the last update.

It's not a big deal, I'm just curious though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] akkiurs:
Nope its not working, but i would love to see that feature in this rom, its difficult to look for an app in whole bunch of it.. and we can't even install the pixel launcher in this rom.

Does Advanced LTE and Wifi calling work on this rom? Didn't see anything in the OP under features so I thought I'd check. I just got my pixel in December and have been running stock and am currently on the February update bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed. Would like to try this but wanted to make sure wifi calling is working because I really need it.

So..

In TWRP, flash ROM and the reboot.. It will show up a "No OS installed" and the boot to TWRP again?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PapaSmurf6768:
Shouldn't boot to recovery after install. Should boot straight to ROM.

Flash TWRP after ROM if you want to keep TWRP on your phone after install.

Expanded Desktop Bug

I seem to have uncovered a bug with the Pixel Dust rom on my sailfish... If you enable expanded desktop and reboot the lock screen will act extremely laggy on boot. If you turn off the screen before inputting password the device almost locks up completely. Once that happens you'll be lucky if the screen comes back on so you can unlock device. However once unlocked the phone will act normally. I disabled expanded desktop and rebooted to test and device acts completely normal on boot without it enabled. Does anyone else experience this with expanded desktop enabled and device pin set when rebooting? Maybe this can help [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] akkiurs:
Is there Any way to install pixel launcher latest version??
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Myo Thu Htet:
The default launcher is better for me
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] akkiurs:
No doubt its great, its smooth clean, but searching apps in app drawer is not available,

I tried alot to live with it, but when u r on the go and doing some work in a flow u hate it yo go search for app in your app drawer one by one, it is very annoying as i like my desktop clean.

I even tried some module in magisk for that but there are some issues in that too we can't swipe up to app Drawer from any app or even from recent tab menu to directly app drawer.

Otherwise pixel dust launcher is smoother thn the pixel launcher.

UPDATE:

idk how but its working now, maybe some internal update came, or maybe i was laying with some magisk mode to be precise modded pixel2 launcher, i installed it but still using pixel dust launcher, and app search is working in and out of app drawer..

loveing it:good::good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dcshallot:
I tried the rom yesterday, after installation, I set up my bifrostv vpn, to continue Google account, but, seem like had compatible issue. I have no choice and return to los 15.1
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
NP ;) we hope you'll enjoy los..p.s. it would be useful to provide us with more details about your incompatibility issue.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Thanks very much for your finding. It actually enabled me to further dig into this. And it's really amazing, I have identified a fix to prevent a "panic" situation while being in expanded desktop mode (credits to neobuddy89 for the solution).

I guess that soon I'll drop an intermediate build for testing the fix and further changes from my development branch. Stay tuned.. ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dcshallot:
1 install 9.0 Google stock image without -w.

2 wipe and install your rom.

3 install bifrostv(vpn), bypass Chinese ip/sites.

Turn on vpn, all foreign sites are err_name_resolve, because vpn use remote server to connect dns. Chinese sites are ok.

Everything in los 15.1 are fine. Even now, I'm using vpn to access xda.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Thanks, I see your point. Maybe we'll add VPN support in a future build. Let's see...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Geofferey:
[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] I'm glad to have helped. I should mention that your ROM is incredibly stable and amazing! Definitely a good pick for people like me coming off of PN. I've been testing for nearly a month and I am very impressed at the quality of your work. Thank you very much for it. I will let you know if I find any other anomalies.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
New (beta) build available. This time as intermediary update. Beta does not mean anything negative -- it is the most stable release IMHO. :fingers-crossed:

It has a few enhancements and most important a fix for the stutters and lags observed in the most recents builds.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pi...lfish-beta-release-20190226-1857.zip/download

Please allow sourceforge a little time to settle down and to unlock the download.. and don't forget to leave your feedback on the new build.

:good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viking_mariner:
I'm using this rom (latest stable release) as a daily driver but I think I found an issue since i updated to the latest version:

The microphone seems to get muted or disconnected after the phone has been dozing for some time (like 30 minutes or so). If I try to call someone or record a voice note, it just won't record anything.

If i restart the device the mic works again until the phone sits unused for some time.

Is it a common issue or just me? It really only happens after i upgraded to Feb 9 update.

Thank you for this wonderful ROM!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Hi, thanks for your feedback.

Statusbar Brightness Control

Hi,

I like the PixelDust-ROM very much. For me, it seems to be the best custom ROM for the pixel so far. :good: But from my previous phone, I'm really missing the ability to control the screen-brightness by sliding on the statusbar, like in the other custom Pixel-ROM "Benzo Rom 9.0 OMS".

Did I just miss the option to enable this feature? If not, any chances to get this feature implemented in a future version of the PixelDust-ROM? Or will this cause problems with saftynet-check? Unfortunately, it seems that the described feature can't be added trough a magisk module. :/

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kkjb:

Beta build runs like magic but i've noticed that cast doesn't work and also isn't available in apps?!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chesstiger:
Hello,

first of all: This is an awesome ROM, the best one I've seen so far for the Google Pixel.

But I had real trouble while installing the new release five. I'm using a Sailfish with 32 GB disk storage. Until today, it was running PixelDust release two. For security improvements (and for the Now Playing feature), I decided to update my phone to release five. This is not my first android device without the original firmware, so the process is not new to me. The bootloader was already open (since I own that device).

For a new start, I wiped the entire device and flashed the stock image PQ2A with the flash-all.sh script (using Arch Linux).

After the inevitable boot into the stock system, I moved back to the download screen and booted TWRP (3.2.3-1) via fastboot.

From there, I wiped the Dalvik/ART cache, the system partition and the data partition.

After that, I pushed the PixelDust release five zip file and the TWRP install zip file via adb push onto the device.

The flashing of the zips (first rom, then recovery) took a while and was unexciting.

This were all steps of the installing manual. If I try to boot the system now, it first shows the warning caused by the unlocked bootloader, then shortly (a half second maybe) flashes the Google logo and instantly reboots.

My first attempt was switching the slots with TWRP. After changing back to slot A, the Google logo shows about 10 seconds and then reboots.

I've tried these steps several times over three hours and I am a little bit frustrated. Also, I'm not able to re-flash the release two zip file (or release four). No version of PixelDust is working, so I am ended with the PQ2A stock rom...

Has anyone an idea what the heck is going on with my phone?

P.S.: Please ignore the several grammar or spelling mistakes, english is not my mother language. ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dcshallot:
I flashed release five a few days ago, you could try like these, checksum all your downloaded files,

Flash all (Google stock image), reboot once

Twrp recovery

Wipe system, data, don't format

Install rom, reboot immediately, don't try to change slot or install any package.

After a reboot, you can reboot to bootloader then go into twrp to install additional packages, but don't try to change slot.

Good luck.

Yeahi think i can make it through day of use but barely(havent made my pixel my main phone yet) but still its bad battery life.

Seems snappier, and i think battery life will improve.

Issues with nav bar

Hello,

I flashed release 4 a couple of weeks ago and the device was lagging really bad, where it would take over a minute to launch an app, exit an app or unlock the phone. I upgraded to release 5 when it was released and it sort of fixed the issue, but I get the occasional lag/freezing, but my biggest problem is that the nav bar disappears in netflix and most of my games. I've tried pulling it up from the bottom of the screen like I usually do when it disappears but nothing happens and I can't pull down the notification tray either pulling down from the screen. The only way that I can exit the app or access the notificacion screen is swiping down on the fingerprint reader to bring it up.

Is there something in settings that I'm missing or should i just wipe again and start over. I feel like I was getting a better overall experience with stock android.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nkbhr:
Can I set long press Home button (or any other navigation button) to switch off screen? I am able to do this in other ROMs.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
March update arrived!

Major changes:

- Change kernel to kingbri's KingKernel (Linux 3.18.136). This is going to get rid of stuttering and lags observed in previous releases

- Fix a crash related to sending or receiving images randomly. Has been observed with WhatsApp and Instagram

- and tons of improvements and fixes under the hood (look at the changelog in the 2nd post)

A thousand thanks to [MENTION=8500797]kingbri[/MENTION], who joined our crew and has become a new force behind PixelDust ROM. Thank you for bringing in KingKernel and your expertise. :good:

Enjoy the PixelDust Goodness!

I don't know if this is some sort of bug, but I can't go through with the March update...

I see that there is an update available for Sailfish.

I press the "Download the latest release for your device" which brings me to "https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixeldustproject/files/sailfish/pixeldust_sailfish-pie-release-six-20190310-0217.zip/download" where I am met by an error message:

Vendor mismatch with system error after dirty flash. PQ2A.190305.002

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] how do I fix this since the room uses a custom image?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spezi77:
Either clean flash (I know it's a pain in the ass, but always recommended).

Or try the following workaround (no guarantee that this will solve it).

Fix for vendor mismatch popup:

1. Install "magsisk hide props config" module from magisk downloads.

2. Install any terminal emulator from play store, I use terminus. On terminus go to terminals>connect>local terminal.

3. Type su and hit enter.

4. Type props and hit enter.

5. Follow the instructions on screen to edit the fingerprint. Select your device in later steps. Reboot.
