Can someone please confirm the calendar/schedule widget is working? in the last several builds i have clean flashed everyone and the calendar widget states problem loading widget others seem to have this problem but no apparent conversation on a fix. thank you very much in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Same problem for me using Chronus widget also
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fipm:
No, unfortunately there are problems with various widgets still. So far I haven't been able to find a workaround.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jerreth:
Thank you very much for the confirmation and quick reply :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
Thanks alot, much appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] doctorm89:
After few failures, I figured out that clean flash is necessary....

Wipe cache/dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe system, none of the three should be ignored. Benzo needs a totally cleaned environment.

Please add this into the flash guidance.

Another problem I confronted: extremely high battery consumption.

When it's standing-by and screen off, the battery can last for 2 days. That's good.

But when I'm using it normally, just Twittering or sending messages or watching Youtube. The battery runs at 40% per hour!!! I can't even play games without charger plugged in.

Anyone knows why? Is there any compatible kernel or configuration that can cool down the battery? Just for Benzo?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
Dirty flashing always works for me first try.

Revoot to recovery

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Reboot to system

(optional) Reboot to recovery

(optional) Flash magisk

(optional) Flash kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
That's exactly what I do and haven't had any issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] doctorm89:
I don't know why, but I came into a system with a lot of missing parts from dirty flash.

Flash a factory Pie image,

Reboot to recovery,

Flash Benzo and reboot,

It boot into a system UI without status bar and Navigation, even the Settings is missing. I can't use any apps either.

This happens every dirty flash.

:o
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
delete lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Check my screenshot. This is possible with different kernel, i'm not using the kernel included in the ROM. Try elementalx kernel. In my opinion is the best (if you config with the correct setup) kernel for Pixel XL around
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I get a "cant find sim card" error when trying to install it. dirty flash just bootloops.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
Once again thank you for this amazing rom! I dirty flashed the latest version of it and noticed a small bug: when unlocking with the fingerprint sensor the display brightness is very low. Once I lock and unlock the phone with the power button it goes back up. I can attach a log if needed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Mee too I have this problem.

Also, if unlocked by sequence I see the track. In the settings I put not to display it

All wakelocks is blocked (listed in Ex kernel manager) and all notification is working (Whatsapp, Telegram, Gmail, weather, ecc)

I have finish my last unplugged charge with 3 days and 6 hours SOT
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
think i found a glitch...i turned off lift to wake and ambient display so i could install a screen protector and now they are both gone forever, no lift to wake, no double tap, nor ambient... i dont see them in setting anymore lol smh and yes i see it in gestures but it doesnt work now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HueyT:
change launcher to Nova or Pixel from Play store and widgets will work
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jisoo:
I had a similar issue, double tap to wake stopped working after I fiddled with the ambient display settings.

What fixed it for me just now was toggling ambient display using the qs tile. After that, disabling and enabling double tap from "settings - gestures" fixed the double tap feature for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Still no working with Nova:(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ThePublisher:
Fastboot twrp.img and install twrp.zip on Slot A (3.2.3-1 marlin). Install Benzo. Boots just fine. I restart to recovery to install magisk and there is no TWRP, it takes me to the stock recover. I fastboot and install twrp but now the system wont boot. I reinstall Benzo and it boots fine, all settings and apps still there, but restarting to recovery again takes me back to stock recovery.

Any ideas why I can't have TWRP? :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
ok so it wasnt just a fluke its an actual problem. Now i just wish i could get a log cat to give so devs could look into lens blur borking out
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aoaleman:
You need to flash the TWRP zip again right after flashing Benzo before rebooting.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fipm:
Same here. Calendar widgets - for example - still not working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Anybody have try with a custum Pixel launcher from Magisk repository modules?

Otherwise we need to wait Benzo ROM develop to fix this

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jfishbone311:
I'm using Nova with no problems other than the small calendar widget. Large one fine other apps ok widgets too.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Yes, substratum working fine for me :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Oorgle1337:
Which theme are you using? Been trying pitch black and swift black but nothing is applying.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gabryele1976:
Actually I have only Swift black and working fine. Check my screen

but pitch black working good also
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Oorgle1337:

Guys can anyone share latest build Benzo 8.1?

Benzo Rom 8.1.0 20180721-2013
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
I'd actually like to have the last Oreo ROM too. Pie just isn't ready to come out the oven, the little things what get ya. Might wait until the December update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Has anyone in the last couple of builds been able to get High Brightness Mode (flar2's app) functioning automatically on this rom? I've used both ElementalX and Kirasakura kernals to no effect. Once you actually open the app it will activate though, and the widget toggle works, just not auto-mode . I've tried taking the app itself out of battery optimization, use the notification, etc.

I never realized how important of a feature this was for me the last 2 years until it broke. Users in the ElementalX thread report it works on stock just fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
It have Ex Kernel Manager and it works just fine. I don't know what you mean by Auto but it works and it sets on boot (tested it). If that wasnt what you were referring to I apologize.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
He must be referring to the auto mode found in the high brightness app on the Play Store
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
I am referring to "Auto Mode" from the High Brightness Mode app on the playstore from Flar2. Basically it adds a widget that you can toggle and kicks on high brightness when you step out in to the sun.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dexter 007:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:

Benzo Rom 9.0 20181019-0718 (marlin)​

Changes:

-Updated kernel

-Redid the kernel

-Added doze/lockscreen weather

-Added weather qs tile

-Added lockscreen pattern options

-Added One-Hand mode to navbar options

-Updated the built-in browsers adblock to use AdBlock Plus

-Updated webview to 72.0.3581.4

-Added wallpapers from the Pixel 3

-Updated Google Apps to latest versions

-More little changes/improvements

-See changelog for a bigger list

Since I redid all the commits in my kernel just in the last couple days I haven't had a lot of time to test it and still have tweaks to make, but there still shouldn't be any major problems and the rom should be back to it's smooth goodness.

Also since I added the wallpapers from the Pixel 3 the Living Universe wallpapers from the XL and XL2 are missing. You can download the old pack right below and install them and you'll have the new ones and the old ones except the old ones will be under live wallpapers now. I didn't want to include another 160MB apk just for a few wallpapers.

Help from an older Build

I'm currently on a really old build from March Benzo Version 20180320-0837-marlin

I'm looking to get caught up to the latest 9.0 Benzo build. I've reread from page 97 and I still have questions. Can I dirty flash the latest build. Using my older version of TWRP 3.2.1-2 Is there anything I need to do jumping from 8.1 to 9.0 Pie.

Or a general update guide It's been a while since I've updated with the A/B Pixel. Anything I need to do with Magisk before I proceed Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaestreetss:
Guys I need help ... When I try to flash magisk I'm getting a bootloop. I wipe cache and still. And yes I sign in and put USB debugging. What am I doing wrong??? Please help. I'm nothing without root ??*♂️

[MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION] Another thing not working besides the dark theme not being applied to settings is the Notification light. Changes to the default color, pulse length and speed are not applied.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bahehs:
Thank you for this amazing rom. I wanted to ask if it would be possible to change how many notification icons appear in the status bar as android p limits us to 4 because of the notch implementation.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lexaternum:
Got it working by following the instructions in the OP, but once I flashed Magisk via TWRP it gets stuck on Google logo. Flashed Magisk 17.3 and using TWRP 3.2.3-1. Should I be flashing a custom kernel after flashing Magisk?

EDIT: Got it working. The problem is rebooting to system from TWRP after flashing Magisk. If you just reboot without installing the TWRP app everything will turn out fine - replicated twice.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
So how did you get it working with Magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaestreetss:
What I did was flash 17.3 on both slots A&B

That worked for me. At first I would flash on slot A and get a boot loop
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lexaternum:
1. Follow the guide in OP for installing ROM and TWRP on first flash

2. Reboot to system

3. Choose NOT to download TWRP app onto your phone (comes up when you first flash TWRP after custom rom)

4. Load into your phone, put in settings etc etc (I didn't connect to WiFi or log into any of my Google accounts - not sure if this is relevant, just telling you how I went about it)

5. Load back into TWRP and flash Magisk

You should have Magisk working without bootloops!

Also, AFAIK the only thing you should be flashing on partition A is roms. Magisk or SuperSU is normally installed on partition B. But also I'm pretty sure Magisk automatically downloads on both sides. Once you flash ROM on side A, I think it will always boot to side B from recovery.

Dear [MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION]

I use Expanded Desktop.

When I call the keyboard to write SMS, or in chrome, etc... It adds a black space at the bottom of the screen. It there something you can do to prevent it, so this black thing doesn't appear? It kind of defeats the purpose of Expanded Desktop, without seeing the navbar though... :P

Download for 8.1 Oreo build?

Hi, I'm new to flashing the Pixel XL and I wanted to try out Benzo 8.1. The download links seem to be broken for benzorom-8.1.0-20180721-2013-marlin.zip. Anybody happen to know of a working link? I'm going to stick to Oreo for various reasons, including Xposed.

Hi,

Wondering if you use substratum themes? If yes, did you encounter an issue where substratum wouldn't properly compile the overlays?

I mean... I know you have to reboot and enable the overlays in substratum. But it looks like those didn't even compile. When I installed the latest build, it used to work fine. It suddenly stopped working. Haven't change my usual config/settings or installed any new app, so I have no clue about what's happening.

Seems to happen on stock ROM as well: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/help/substratum-themes-t3863412

Hoping someone has a solution for this matter. The white UI is really blinding at night... ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Not sure what the issue is but same happened to me on a clean flash. What worked for me was to restore my backup from the previous build and dirty flash the new build on top. Everything themes fine now

Benzo Rom 9.0 20181126-2154​

Changes:

-Updated source to android-9.0.0_r18 (November Patches)

-Updated kernel

-Added rootless Substratum support OMS

-Added statusbar weather

-Added Privacy Guard from Lineage

-Added toggle to disable wifi activity indicators

-Fixed a couple problems with network traffic indicators

-Added option for buttons next to brightness slider

-Fixed some smaller problems I noticed

-Couple little improvements here and there

-See changelog or github for some more info

Substratum now works without root and without having to reboot to update overlays. It works pretty much as it should, but you may have to enable an overlay or two after compiling a whole theme, but that's about it. Also I didn't have time to finish tweaking the kernel to my liking, but I wanted to get an update out since Google released the source for marlin/sailfish so late.
