I'm on benzo rom, flashed no problems.

I'm not understanding why my widgets are not loading on Nova launcher. Anyone else have this issue? Suggestions?, thanks.

I also tried setting widgets on pixel launcher and same issue. It says problem loading widget.

Also, cannot connect to wifi assistant, Google connectivity services keeps crashing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
My Nova launcher saved widgets wouldn't load but worked fine replacing them from scratch
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GroovinChip:
Some widgets work for me, others do not at all, even when replacing from scratch - on any launcher
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
I had to switch to action launcher, it seems to work perfectly. Not sure what the problem is, Nova worked great on stock android 8.1 and all Android 8.0 custom roms on Nexus 6p like DU.

Is there an app controller for the kernel? I was ElementalX on my last ROM but so far have just been trying the one out that came with this ROM.

Any kernel app will do not sure the one that came with the rom is a custom kernel or just stock aosp kernel

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION]

What's the protocol for substratum when apps update and then force close. Do you need to completely reapply Everytime apps update?

Also, I didn't get a root prompt for substratum on this ROM, but everything worked without hooking up to PC, so I'm guessing it's in legacy mode, but that would normally require a root prompt.

Help much appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
I generally disable the Substratum theme overlay for that app and then reapply it to see if it's the overlay that's causing the FC. It usually is when an app updates with an overlay previously applied.

I'm using Substratum rooted with this rom with no problems at all.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
And generally just toggling the theme the specific app fixes it? By disabling you mean unchecking the box next to the app correct?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
Go into the the manager and disable it for that app if the theme has a specific overlay for it. Then reapply it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
Also, are you using the Andromeda method or legacy?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
Legacy, but the same principle applies. I've used both methods and it's the same thing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] muppetmaster916:
Thanks, I'm now using legacy, will toggle per app themes as they update and break. Is there any real downside to using legacy?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
In my opinion, using the rooted version of Substratum is better than Andromeda. I can change themes within my phone. With Andromeda, you always have to hook the phone up to your pc to do anything.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Is there anyway to use the volume rocker when the screen is off to control media (i.e. fast forward to next track, rewind to previous track?) I thought for sure this ROM had it, but I can't find it in the settings - been using either the clicker on my headphones or my Android Wear watch, but would be nice to be able to use the volume rocker when I'm driving in the car and have the phone hooked up via the headset jack to not have to take my eyes off the road to look at my watch. Thank you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ifly4vamerica:
There is an error in one of the commits for increases resolution. Crdroid has a commit in their latest build to fix this. I used to have this same problem but added that fix and built myself and its good to go now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Is fast charge or whatever it's called, turned on by default on this ROM? Mine does not seem to be charging as fast as it was on 7.1.2 What/where would I look to see if it's charging fast?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
You can display the charging info on the lock screen. I think it will only fast charge if the battery is below a certain percentage - 15%? 20%?

Settings -> Benzo Extras -> Lockscreen -> Charging Info (First item in the list - just enable it)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GroovinChip:
I have to report a catastrophic failure I experienced this morning. When opening the Facebook app, the phone froze and shut off. Upon rebooting, many settings had been reverted back to their defaults, and many touch targets no longer responded to touch. I had to revert to stock. Unfortunately I cannot provide logs but I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else and can hopefully be prevented from happening to anyone.

Are you able to flash this on a Pixel? I know its for then XL so just double checking. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] uodii:
No. There was a sailfish specific version floating around, but none of us were able to get it booting so I believe he took the download offline until further notice...but do not flash the XL version to your sailfish.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
It is very confusing to flash if coming from android 7.1.2 or older. You have to flash the stock ROM to 8.0 then flash Benzo or any other 8.0+ ROM. If you try to come straight from 7.0 it really messes things up. Ask me how I know lol.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] veedubrocks:
Thanks for replying. Question. Been looking around but is there any custom ROM for sailfish right now? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LubbocksFall:
Well I finally got Benzo to boot on up. Everything seemed to be working fine. Went back to stock due my bank apps not working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bkkzak:
This rom has OMS commits built in, so it works rootless. You shouldn't expect to get a root access prompt unless it falls back to the legacy compiler (which happens when themes reach an unrecoverable state).

Also, the accepted protocol is to update the theme every time the app is updated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bahehs:
this happend to me. on the lock screen i entered like 20 numbers and the phone crashed and refused to work.

If your stuck in a twrp bootloop, flash the stock 8.1 boot image and it'll boot into system.

Here ya go, idk why its not on twrp's site anymore: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xGBfdb3jMn3m1mdEWJK8hDJwQp6sf3uY/view?usp=sharing

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Flash the stock 8.1 boot image (or flash the entire 8.1 factory image if the device won't boot into system). Once the device boots up, copy the benzo zip to your device, and reboot into bootloader. Make sure their is no pin/password on the device as twrp 3.2.0-0 is unable to decrypt data on 8.1 Then open up adb fastboot and use "fastboot boot" to boot into twrp 3.2.0-0. Now flash benzo and you'll be good to go.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
For people having trouble booting custom roms please read:

Get a copy of the stock boot.img, twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img, twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip and the Benzo Rom zip.

1. Boot into bootloader

2. run: fastboot --slot all erase boot

3. run: fastboot --slot all format system

4. run: fastboot --slot all format vendor

Go to where you extracted the stock boot image

5. run: fastboot --slot a flash boot boot.img

6. run: fastboot --slot a flash boot twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img

7. run: fastboot --set-active=a

8. run: fastboot reboot-bootloader

9. Then select recovery from the bootloader menu

10. Go to wipe. Move the slider to factory reset which will wipe data, but not internal storage.

11. Install benzorom-8.1.0-date-version-marlin.zip and twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip

12. Reboot

If you want to install root after boot back into recovery by rebooting and holding volume down after you hit reboot then selecting recovery from bootloader. That will take you into TWRP on slot b which is where you want to install Magisk from. I don't use SuperSU anymore so Magisk is all I know that works.

You can get the twrp .img and .zip from their site right here.

My day may be slow enough tomorrow to install this. Rather excited. Do I have to be on 8.1 beforehand or will following the above process take care of everything?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dablitzkrieg:
I have the same question. I'm on 7.1.2, was wondering if I needed to be on 8.1 stock first
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bryanx86:
Yes you need to be on stock 8.1 first, and be sure you're on slot a in twrp 3.0.2-0, not the new one
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xsnipuhx:
Reporting back. I followed OP's instructions.

Initial thoughts are this rom is fantastic. Only issue so far I've found is "Back to Kill" gets rid of any live wall paper you use. Which isn't really an issue for most people probably.

I successfully rooted with Magisk. I had to manually install the APK though after install.

So far, no other issue have risen. I'll post an update tomorrow after a daily drive. I'll also test Wifi Calling at work tomorrow as well.

PS. I can't thank OP enough for the rom, even if its initial release!

This is the second time I'm giving this ROM a go, and I encounter the same problem - my widgets won't load. And I can't seem to flash magisk zip, when I do that and reboot system, it just loops to recovery. :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
What version of magisk are you flashing? I had that happen once with 15.3. I had to flash 15.2 then upgrade to 15.3
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gordietm:
My widgets won't load on Nova, but everything seems to work with Action Launcher.

If Magisk doesn't flash in slot A, try flashing it in Slot B. Same thing happened to me and it worked.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
[MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION] looks like not only the ambient display and some other qs tiles aren't included but the hotspot setting is gone completely
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Klufenza:
Thanks guys! I flashed magisk 15.2, and also I noticed switching from slot a to b must be followed by rebooting recovery, otherwise it says it's on slot b, but installs zips on a... I didn't know that.

Action Launcher doesn't have folders in app drawer (or does it?), which is a deal breaker for me, I can't live without folders.

Read the previous post
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajayjohn:
Thanks a lot xanaxdroid! The updated build seems to fix almost all of the issues I had earlier.

Appreciate the quick response.

I did notice one recurring issue across both builds though. When using navigation, in maps, the blue line to denote the route is not shown. Where as, voice navigation, time markers, GPS location all work perfectly during navigation, but, with a missing blue line on the road/route.

Some reading up indicated this might be an issue with the OpenGL libraries being used. However, I might even be completely wrong here.

Any leads on what could the issue be?

P.S: Am posting this here because I did test the same scenario with the same app version on the stock ROM and it seems to work fine.

Can post logcats if needed. Would be out of pocket for a bit, so didn't try to get one yet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Google maps is working fine for me in older build, Waze as well. FYI. Do you have a theme installed? Maybe that's it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Yes clock and battery works
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajayjohn:
Maps as an app works perfect for me too. Its only the missing blue line when I am using navigation. Certain details on the map are also missing (probably, all elements on the map are not being drawn).

Also, I have no theme and maps is the only extra app I have installed, after flashing the ROM as a fresh install. I have not even set up my fingerprint yet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
Very odd indeed. How about trying Waze? Both are working for me with no missing graphics....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
I am having an error when trying to install this rom. I was on PureNexus but successfully switched over to stock oreo before trying to install this but every time I try to flash the zip in twrp, I get "Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode:: kinstalldeviceopenerror). Any idea what's happening? I made sure it was the right download and that the hash matched.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dorqus:
What version of TWRP are you using? It needs to be version 3.2.0.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
Ahh I was trying with 3.2.1. Figured it would still work but I suppose not. I'll try it by fastbooting, thanks.

EDIT: It seemed to flash fine, but now I am getting a ram dump and boot loop when it tries to load.. ugh. It even ram dumps trying to get into recovery even after reflashing it through fastboot. Not sure what's going on.

EDIT2: I.. think I was on the wrong slot. I shouldn't attempt this when I'm tired lol

EDIT3: Well I did manage to get the recovery to boot and I reflashed benzo but now I am getting ram dump again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jrmiller:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
Well I managed to get my phone in a workable state by reinstalling stock oreo but I still don't understand why installing Benzo causes a ram dump and boot loop. If anyone has any idea what I could be doing wrong, please enlighten me.

EDIT: Now when I try to flash the TWRP 3.2 zip from fastbooted TWRP, I get an error (Unpacking boot image B failed!)... it worked fine before and I've tried redownloading. this is so frustrating.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
Yes and I am currently running it now. I don't know why I can't get any 8.1 rom to run. Out of curiosity, I also tried Pixel Dust and it just gets stuck on the Google bootup screen.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Did you factory reset and wipe system before flashing Benzo?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
Yup. My exact steps were:

-boot into bootloader

-install stock using flash-all method

-boot back into recovery

-factory reset

-flash benzo

Benzo flashes fine with no errors but when it tries to boot, it shows the white Google screen for a split second and then does a ramdump before rebooting.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Try wiping system also before you flash it. That's what I did
