This ROM is great, loving almost everything about it so far. Only got 1 issue and 1 request -

Issue - when double pressing the power button (screen off) to launch the camera, the phone asks for my pin (or finger print) before launching the camera app. Defeats the purpose of quick launching the camera if I have to unlock my phone in the first place.

Request - I've gotten used to having a screen off button on the very bottom left of the screen, the first button on the navigation bar. Unfortunately, nav bar options does not include the choice of adding a screen off button on the latest release (and also my first use of this ROM). I had been using "Custom Navigation Bar" from the Play Store on my earlier ROM to give me that option. But the app does not work on Android Pie, so using that is out of the question too. I do have the double tapping the status bar option selected (I really don't like using my power button, on account of fear of breaking it), so I'm using that for now, but it'd be great if the nav bar option came back.

Thanks again for the great work.

I'm having a strange issue with the battery percentage in the statusbar. I have it set to just text and after a while to the text changes to about half the normal brightness. Sometimes a reboot fixes it but after a short time it changes again. Any ideas what might be causing it?

Any schedule or agenda widget for the calendar displays "Problem Loading Widget." Uninstalling/reinstalling the app didn't fix it. Even more odd, the month widget for the same app works.

The status bar gesture to control brightness is also twitchy.

Great rom otherwise.

Yeah It's really annoying. 8.1 extracts the accent color from your wallpaper and then uses that tint systemwide. There's actually an Android bug tracker report that complains about just that. IMO it should be a user option, not something system handled, especially when Google's done such a terrible job implementing it. On the bright side, I guess we can possibly except more theming options to come to asop or at least pixel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mikkey81:
You sir. Appear to be on stock... Follow the OPs instructions. Twrp installed???

Good. Boot to TWRP 3.2.0-0 (if youre on 3.2.1-0 it'll fail)

Go to wipe and choose advanced... check the boxes for cache---wipe data --- system... NOT nternal or all your downloads be damned...Thats done.

Go to your downloaded ZIP for CM15.1 and Flash that, then flash the TWRP 3.2.0-0 zip from recovery.

NOTE in the OP in regards to the OVERLAY FOLDER but im guessing you wont have one...

Reboot Recovery (i usually hit reboot system and hold volume down until the bootloader pops up --- TWRP will sometimes try to boot to the OS)

It should say 'OS not installed ' and you have to swipe again to reboot BACK INTO RECOVERY.

Back in recovery??? Flash the Gapps in the ORIGINAL POST... Flash Magisk AFTER you completely boot up the ROM sign in and do all the junk... After.

Remember you NEED to go to security and turn off you lock screen (unlock = none) or you're going to get stuck at the decryption screen.

Happy New Year.

Nope, 8.1 fixed the random reboot issue. Had a lot of random reboots during the 8.1 developer previews but the reboot issue was fixed on the stable 8.1 release. Only reboots I had on 8.1 were while running Magisk. I haven't had any random reboots on Magisk 15.1/15.2 so it looks like reboot issue's been solved

It'd be really helpful if you could capture and post a log. Not everyone's having this issue and a log would be extremely helpful in figuring out exactly what's going wrong. How do you except anything to be fixed if no one captures a log.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
I'm not sure if this is ROM related or Kernel related. I just clean installed Benzo after a clean factory install to 9 from 8. I did install ElementalX.

When I plug in USB Windows recognizes the phone connection, when I select PTP from the android device, it correctly shows up in Windows Explorer. However, as soon as I select "File Transfer" on my Pixel XL, the phone does not show up in Windows Explorer as an option. Anyone else had this trouble?

Question

Hi all

I don't have installed this ROM yet but, if possible, I need if this 2 feature is included:

-	Long press on back button for kill app

-	Fling gestures

Thanks for your hard work

Gabriele
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goast:
Bruh let me say this, flash ROM first before u make requests or don't and flash something else. 2 fling hasn't been ported to pie by du so it's not on any pie rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dangambino:
I know the translation to English is rough however no one's going to make additional features to the ROM just so you can Flash it. please be thankful for what features are included since they just released pie not long ago. don't expect these developers to be your personal IT team. I start to cringe thinking that developers may get sick of this kind of attitude all together and stop sharing development on XDA all together as a result. Some ROMs have a request list that maybe you should look into.....

Hi,

I did a full reset of the Pixel XL and I installed the latest version of Benzo ROM (20181003-0817)

There are no words to say that it is a fantastic ROM. For days I was looking for something really good for Android 9 and now I found the Benzo ROM. There are interesting extras and everything works. Substratum works well and integrates seamlessly with the system. Interesting the possibility of editing the values ​​of Doze (never seen on any ROM before).

I'm testing the phone right now and you really did an amazing job :cool:

I wanted to ask you a little bit to further improve this already beautiful ROM:

- is it possible to place the network traffic icon on the right?

- Is the kernel used good or maybe we need to move on to something else? (eg Elementalx). The kernel included on Benzo ROM does not handle wavelock

- is it possible to remove Google toolbar from homepage?

For the moment I did not notice anything unusual and everything works great.

A big thank you for all the work you've done so far

Hello

p.s. Sorry for my english :o
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dangambino:
IMO the kernel seems great. Up to date and most of the features that you see in everyone's else's Kernel. And some that others don't have. I don't know how much you use wake locks, though i would not complain about the kernel it seems like its more then good

Hi, I run Benzorom 09.20 and I will upgrade, thought I should check if anybody will advice against dirtyflashing..

Currently running the liquid remix PIE rom. Not really happy with some of the findings, I have google Fi service and its having carrier services force closes. Not the place to complain probably.. anywhoo, download just finished, flashing now. will report any findings :D

Thanks so much!!!:)

EDIT: Running for a whole afternoon, took everything i threw at it, was a fresh install, re downloaded all apps, nothing crashed, service works flawlessly.

Took Magisks 17.2 with no errors, root works fine, installing modules and everything works perfect. I feel as though GPS and mobile data are faster? May be due to the clean install.

Overall, beautiful work! Thank you sir

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
I did a dirty install with no wipes just now. It always takes a long time to boot. Give it 10-15 minutes at least. The rom boots and runs perfectly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Was your phone constantly booting and then sat for minutes as if it was off?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
It sat for minutes constantly booting, yes. The display was on during the whole process, but it doesn't show any clear signs of progress. It always looks as if it won't load anytime soon. Resist the urge to reboot and leave the phone for 15 minutes. Sometimes it needs a lot of time. If it doesn't work out, go ahead and reflash the rom in recovery.

To give you some more info:

When I dirty flash I always flash the rom and flash twrp, reboot to recovery and flash magisk right after that. I reboot to system only after having flashed the rom, twrp and magisk in this order. I don't know if it makes sense, but I have been doing this since I lost twrp after the first flash. I don't understand the whole A/B slot thing and found something that works for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Yeah, I just went through this process again and it says 'no OS installed'.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75251716&postcount=280

I got to file manager and the /system folder is blank. I reboot system anyways and it goes to Google screen and then ends back up in TWRP.

I've flashed many ROMs before (albeit not recently). I cannot understand why I'm having so much trouble =\

UPDATE:

I Just downloaded the .zip again to my PC this time, checked the MD5, and then sideloaded the ROM. When it flashes it says something about not finding a digest file, then it goes through "Step 1/2" then "Step 2/2". There's no other text like "Welcome to BENZO ROM" (I'm not sure if there's supposed to be) When I go to reboot, it tells me that no OS is installed, I proceed, and let it reboot, it cycles boot 3-4 times and then ends back up in TWRP. (update here, I tried the steps and then flashing the new TWRP after sideloading the ROM, I rebooted, it again said "no OS". It rebooted several times, ended up doing a RAMDUMP, rebooted a couple more times and ended back up into TWRP.)

At this point something is going on that is preventing the .zip from writing to /system I think. I did not flash TWRP.zip and it's still booting back to TWRP no problem., typically you need to reflash TWRP or you end up without recovery if I'm not mistaken?

Anyways, I'm sure it's something I'm derping. Thanks everyone for your time and help.

UPDATE 2:

This time before sideloading I went to the reboot screen and Selected 'Slot B', I did not reboot recovery, but it did indicate 'Slot B'. AFter sideloading the ROM I rebooted, it booted driectlly to a RAMDUMP screen and then cycled boot 2-3 times and ended back up in TWRP
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
OK, now that sounds like something went wrong somewhere down the line. Have you made sure that you have the most recent version of TWRP? As of now this would be the 3.2.3-1 version. The newest version of twrp is a very important precondition.

As for the steps, they were always the same when I installed this ROM. It always says that about not finding a digest file then it goes into step 1. After a few minutes it says step 2 and shortly afterwards the rom is installed. I don't remember seeing any text confirming the successful installation of the rom.

By now you have probably done a full wipe etc.? Do it again and install the zip. Why are you sideloading? Why not just flash the zip? I am no expert, but somehow I have always managed to find a way through these difficult moments :)) I know how frustrating these can be. And people asking why your phone was off while they were trying to call you.. They never understand the struggle of a rom not booting and you considering the financial consequences of a hard bricked phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Yes, using the latest TWRP, and I was sideloading, because I thought perhaps the .zip I had in sdcard/Downloads was corrupt. So I downloaded to PC, checked MD5 and sideloaded. I could not get ADB Push to respond while in TWRP (not uncommon historically).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ThePublisher:
Same thing for me. Home long press does nothing. I've checked every setting I can find in the google app and in settings. Wiped the storage on the google app. Made sure google was my search assistant in app settings. You name it. Long press for assistant not working.

Any ideas anyone?

I say it because in the beginning of the forum is like nighty ....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
The issue for me was the display size setting. I like my font smaller and scaling settings lower to fit more on the screen. When i increased them, it started working again. Had this happen on another ROM previously and forgot about it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ThePublisher:
Thank you for your quick response and solution. I'm glad you figured that out, but really disappointing I have to make everything HUGE to use assistant down there. I moved my display size setting from 'Smaller' to 'Small' (which is still really large) and the long-press on the home button bring up google assistant. Issue solved.

OP any ideas on why this reacts this way? I didn't have that glitch on stock Pie. Maybe something with the Benzo Nav bar settings?
