Since updating from 8.0 (201712xx version) to 8.1 (20180215), my phone (Pixel XL) now exhibits black smearing on low brightness. The issue is similar to what is shown here (it actually exhibits the issue when scrolling around the first image on that article in a dark room).

I know there have been issues with the newer Pixel 2 displaying black smearing, and people seem to believe it is a hardware issue. However, I am confident that my device did not have these issues prior to me updating 8.0 -> 8.1, as I had tested it a few months ago (after reading about the Pixel 2's issues), and there was no smearing. This makes me believe that, at least for my Pixel XL, it is a software issue.

Any idea what I can do to fix this? A large percentage of my phone usage happens with the display brightness set to the minimum and with solid black backgrounds, so the smearing is a noticeable annoyance. Happy to provide logs & troubleshoot.

hi everyone!

I come from nexus 5x and y can see that install metod had changed a little bit, now recovery partition dont exist and this make me a broken head!

I already get install lineage! stock 8.1 dislike me, i want to try with this rom, i had this in nexus 5x and was a great experience, here we go!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m2thedeep:
I followed the directions in the OP for my sailfish device. Later, I turned off my phone and when I tried to turn it back on nothing happened. When I plug in the charger cable the LED doesn't change color. Any ideas?

Edit: If I hold the power button and volume down for 30 seconds I can get into the bootloader screen. Not sure what to try from here though besides booting into TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
You probably skipped a step. Go back to TWRP and start from scratch.. Make sure you do every step word for word even if you think one is redundant
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m2thedeep:
Thanks. I ended up doing it over and got it working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sir Leto:
For some reason, after updating, all of my Google Apps were broken, I had to reinstall them from the play store. Also, trying to setup smart Lock with my Chromebook no longer works. I'm certain I flashed a new gapps before booting.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
This happens when you miss the first step and flash lineage/twrp on the wrong slot. I've done this a few times by accident. You have to start over.. Sorry

Seems that Pixel/XL won't get official support for the moment, according to that early list on that post :crying:

Although, Big thanks to you for supporting Nexus 5X once again :) :angel:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
That's crazy since a majority of roms for Marlin now are built off of [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] trees. They are super clean and stable. damn you lineage [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] for president lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] paco8:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is this ROM different from the ROM that was "officially announced" today? Was thinking about giving this ROM a go, but I'll wait if there's a big update on the horizon. Thanks to OP for development and thanks to anyone who can help me out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] admiralspeedy:
I have no idea how you guys are getting GApps working. No matter when I flash them (immediately after I install the ROM and reboot the recovery to switch slots is how I was doing it), when I start my phone the Setup Wizard just crashes over and over and I can't get anywhere. I have tried the GApps package in the OP, and various other ones and I even built the ROM with Open GApps included and it does the same thing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
Same rom just unofficial should go official with 15.1 release from Lineage

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Follow steps in OP it works fine

Flash Rom + twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.zip reboot to recovery

Flash vendor.img, Mount Vendor Partition and Navigate to /Vendor Overlay folder and delete that

Flash Gapps from OP reboot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ken2736:

Well I must be doing something wrong. I tried flashing it and just got stuck in a bootloop. Went to twrp, reflashed ROM, flashed elemental kernel, flashed twrp. Rebooted to recovery, did vendor thing, flashed gapps.

Everything booted great but only stock kernel was listed. Any advice on install?

I can't get it to work either but some of the other kernels work
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
Yeah, the rom works great and is stable, but the reason the pixel's don't have official nightlies is because of the a/b partitioning. Look at the crazy steps involved with flashing. lol. A lot of changes have to happen for that to be fixed. And it's not device specific changes. It's major changes to other areas in the android operating system. It's the same reason the pixel's never got official 14.1 builds either.

Fortunately, there have been a few other devices that have come out in the last few months that also have that a/b partitioning, so more devs have been getting involved with the problems. So hopefully soon we'll be getting those issues worked out and be able to have official nightlies. :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Ken,

You may be better off getting advice from the elemental thread, but I believe you need to flash elemental after everything is done from razorloves instructions. I believe you are flashing elemental too early.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dnsh89:
Don't flash the kernel while flashing the ROM.. flash the kernel after the first boot.. hope this helps..

Forgot to mention — I troubleshot this with [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] the other week. I only got black smearing with LiveDisplay + low brightness; not with CF.Lumen (root mode)+ low brightness, which is what I use most.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Poebat:
If this every becomes official, will we be able to migrate over to the official build or will /data have to be wiped first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
I recommend reading the latest Lineage Blog that Razerloves posted earlier https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-16/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
"Official" is just a word, don't read too much into it. It would (or will, whichever) be the exact same ROM, no matter what you call it :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Poebat:
Ok. I had trouble with LOS 14 switching between official and unofficial
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
I'll add the relevant section from my link of before below:

From anything else (including unofficial LineageOS builds)

(Optional) Make a backup of your important data

Download the build from download portal

Download proper addons packages (GApps, su…) for Oreo 8.1 (8.0 packages are not compatible)

Make sure your recovery and firmware are up to date

Boot into recovery mode and wipe data

Install the LineageOS 15.1 build, then install all your addons without rebooting

When you’re done, reboot the device

Note that wipe data is always needed when coming from something that’s not an official build, regardless of the Android version
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
But all that isn't relative to the Pixel/XL, we have to reinstall TWRP, reboot recovery, then install GApps. If its a clean install we can't root with Magisk/SU until

after

the device has been setup.

I'm not trying to argue, logically, as with all installations, no matter the device, if you have any problems during or after, you should do a clean install.

I'm just saying, to make a build say "Official" you simply export an environment variable and use the exact same source to build it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllanJacques:
Hello guys,

Last version booted once for me but no more, It hangs on boot animation...

Any ideas on what can I do to make it work?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Allan,

Care to share your exact process you used and any other add-ons you may be using?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
After a chat with [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] this morning, I guess there's some things about Lineage ROMs that I wasn't aware of :o

Apparently, they sign their "Official" builds with a private key, which will result in an error when flashing if it's not a clean install (wiping data). I've never been an "Official" maintainer or member of Lineage and wasn't aware of this.

Of all the ROMs I've built and been involved with for my devices, the only differences between "Official" and "Unoffiial" was being supported by the ROM team itself and setting an environment variable, as I mentioned before.

That being said, I'd like to apologize for misconstruing the information posted earlier.

Regards,

Nepo

WiFi Calling on Verizon Wireless...

...has been tested and it's working! :good:

Turn on Airplane Mode and then turn WiFi back on and test for yourselves. I know [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] is doing cartwheels over the news, lol

FINALLY!!! :D

I was beginning to think that I was never going to figure out how to fix the verizon wifi calling. lol.

I tried one last thing the other day, adding this file, and that did the trick.

That was the last bug (device specific) that I know of, so I'm very happy. Yes, i actually did a cartwheel. :p

Thanks for going out of your way and testing NepoRood. :highfive:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] paco8:
Hi all! First of all, thanks for the ROM! Installation worked fine thanks to the clear instructions and it runs great so far! Super stoked to be back on Cy...ahem...lineage. ;)

I just got adaway to copy the hosts file by using a root file explorer to access the hosts file and change the read/write rights to 777. ;)

Now, just two quick questions if you don't mind:

Is there an option to center the clock on the status bar and an option to show four rows of quick settings?

Thanks again and I hope I'm not causing too much trouble here. Sorry for asking if this is obvious to you. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_JD:
Can't thank you enough for your hard work!

I get no reception at home, and WiFi calling is a life saver. I'm having issues with the wifi provisioning (Verizon issue), but once that's resolved, I'm looking forward to being able to use this feature.

Thank you again!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Donric13:
There are quite a number of rom basing on your LOS release for marlin. So thank you for your hard work giving us the choice for this and other LOS based roms. Since a few days i remarked that something seems to have changed with the boot partition of the LOS release. I like to use nine7nine kernel. Since a few releases it's giving me error when flashing this kernel in twrp (fastboot). It's saying that the boot Image is to big to flash. On stock (and stockbased roms) it's still working. Did LOS change something in the boot partition?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllanJacques:
Well, I followed all the instrictions (Extended ones) to the letter and it worked the first time. After that I went to Benzo to test it, decided that Lineage is better and tried to get back and once again, followed every step and it wouldn't boot, stayed on the circles animation for ages so I decided to give the previous version a shot and it booted.

I really don't know why but I'm gald I'm on lineage right now!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
No these options don't exist yet.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Allan,

You can't simply jump from one to the other. My guess is you didn't do a clean install in between. Using a clean install would resolve your problems.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllanJacques:
Actually I did, wipe and format everything...

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pepa 77:
Hello, it's not enough to format it, you must always install Factory images when switching from one Rom to another. This will avoid a lot of problems.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
New builds are ready with the March update from google. (details here and here)

That also means a new vendor img is needed from the March update released by google today. OPM1.171019.021

The radio & bootloader img's are the same as what was in last month's update from google, so no need to flash them if you already have them. You can boot into fastboot mode and see the radio and bootloader version numbers you have installed, if you want to double check that you have the newest.

You can extract the img's from the OPM1.171019.021 factory image on google's site, or use the one's here that I already extracted:

Pixel img's: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=254732

Pixel rom: lineage-15.1-20180306-UNOFFICIAL-sailfish.zip

Pixel XL img's: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=254725

Pixel XL rom: lineage-15.1-20180306-UNOFFICIAL-marlin.zip

If coming for another rom, follow steps in the first post.

If you're updating from my previous build:

Note: You'll need the new rom zip and new vendor img for the following steps so put them on your internal storage (/sdcard)

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. Then select 'Reboot' menu and select the opposite slot from which you're currently in.

3. Then select 'Back', then select 'Recovery'.

4. Then select 'Install' menu and flash the new rom zip and flash the twrp 3.2.0-0 zip.

5. Then select home button and select 'Reboot' menu and select 'Recovery'. This will reboot you into the other slot, where the new rom was just installed to.

6. Then select 'Install' menu and select 'Install image' and select the new vendor img you placed on your /sdcard and select the vendor partition, then swipe to flash it.

7. Since you flashed a new vendor img, you will once again have that /vendor/overlay folder that you have to delete. So, select 'Mount' menu and select the vendor partition and open the file manager and delete the /vendor/overlay folder.

8. Then select home button and select 'Install' menu and flash the gapps zip linked in the first post.

9. You're done. Select 'reboot system'

I Understand that but as we have a stable Unofficial releases so far the A/B partitioning cant be a hold up can it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_JD:
My understanding is that because of the crazy steps involved in flashing the a/b partitions, it won't go official until/unless there's an easier way. There are now other devices that have this setup, so the issue is on the radar of other devs (and maybe they're trying to address it too, no idea).

There may be a solution one day, but it's not today.

I see that there is a standard Lineage camera application provided.

Comparing the quality of pictures made with stock camera, it seems that hdr+ processing is missing / not available ? Can somebody confirm this ? Is there a way to activate this in the Lineage camera ?
