NOTE: An updated TWRP was released that has encryption working in case anyone missed it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Salmonthefood:
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the best way to update to the newest version if we already have Benzo installed? Just do a full wipe on TWRP and flash again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LinuxMatrix:
Any Update for Google Pixel[Sailfish]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
Bug report - show battery percentage doesn't work properly.

Show battery works fine but if you select don't show I would expect that when you bring the notification drawer down that it appears as per stock android but it doesn't.

So it's always on, always off but never the hybrid which I like (and is stock behaviour)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
I'm not having any luck getting this installed. I flashed the stock factory image from Google using Minimal ADB, booting it through setup without changing our seeing anything up, and then flashing Benzo to slot A. I do this and stock will boot, but not Benzo.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewalkingdude:
Try downloading it a again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
Well, I followed [MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION]'s post #25 and managed to get Benzo to boot. Now I'm just contemplating how I am going to get Magisk 17.1 up and running.

I am guessing reboot into TWRP, make sure I am on slot B, flash magisk, swap to A, and then reboot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewalkingdude:
I flash in b and reboot with it in b. At least that's what I did this morning.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
When I used post #25 as a guide and opened twrp using ADB, did it flash TWRP or would I need to use adb again to boot twrp image and then flash it?

Sorry to bug, but I've been having a hell of a time with getting this going and I'm not in the mood reflash for the umpteenth time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewalkingdude:
If you adb twrp and don't flash the twrp zip then it's gone once you reboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Thank you for the screen off flashlight!!! Love it.

The volume steps in the settings me seems to FC for me so far.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
I don't know what the deal is. I used fastboot to open twrp.img (3.2.3-1) and it opens fine, decryption works, make sure I'm on slot A and then flash it. Reboot and it loops me back into TWRP. Switch slots to B and reboot and then it hangs on the white Google logo and appears to be thinking. Is there a way to go back (please please please) without having to reflash the phone yet again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Dont quote me but cant you flash just the stock boot.img and it will boot you back up?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
I tried that too already. I flashed it to both slots and it still wouldn't go. I'm thinking it has something to do with flashing 3.2.3-1 in the first place. Gonna try to just boot the image and then flash Magisk 17.1 followed by ElementalX. We'll see what happens.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Good luck thats what I usually do when it boots back into TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Yeah I guess I messed it up when adding it to the search query. It'll be fixed in the monthly security update build.

Edit: Yeah that's what I did. It's fixed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Dude, you fastboot the stock boot image to slot a

Then you restart the bootloader

Flash twrp.img to the boot slot a like you just did the stock image

Go into twrp and flash benzo and the twrp-installer.zip

Reboot, which will take you to slot b

Setup benzo til you get to the homescreen

Reboot to recovery which will reboot you to slot b which will already have twrp since you flashed the twrp-installer.zip with the rom

Flash magisk then reboot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dachfenster:
Does anyone know how to change fonts? On Oreo (another ROM) I used to replace the Roboto fonts in /system/fonts. Done that again now but it hasn't changed it.

Currently running the new Pie build and I'm amazed tbh, lol. It has every feature I want and runs blazingly fast. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Fixed. Next time do a mention for my name so I get notified. You can also report on the google+ page.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sean222:
Can anyone confirm more than 3 QS columns working on 09/02 build?

-Added more rows/columns options for qs panel

I don't see the option in Benzo Extras -> Quick Settings

Edit: never mind, it's in the actual QS dropdown... Fancy, never seen it there before
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
Thanks [MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5009632]thewalkingdude[/MENTION] for your help. Got it all up and running including Magisk & Elemental.

One thing that I did notice though is long-pressing home button does not bring up the assistant. Retraining the voice match worked to bring up the assistant when I say "Hey Google," but long-press still didn't start working. Made sure my region and languages were correct too. I cleared app settings, cache, and data to no avail.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Weird. Works for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
Figures. I've got the best luck. ROM is great though. Thank you for your hard work.

Edit: It is because i changed my display size smaller in settings. Working now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
Hi and thanks for this amazing rom! So far no issues to report. The only question I have is: where is the adaptive battery setting? I remember it was a "big" thing that google baked into android pie. I cannot find in your rom. Thanks!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Thank you. All I have found so far is status bar items FC. But great ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dachfenster:
So I dirty flashed the last update above the previous one (I know not ideal) and it seem to have broken substratum for me. Any one else got the same issue or just me (maybe someone a clean flash can chime in, too)?

Gonna do a clean one this weekend.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Clean flashed and sub is working great. Running BigBlu!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dachfenster:
Alrighty, clean flash it is then. Thanks, bud :)

Edit: It was the combination of Magisk and substratum which killed it for me.

Here's what you have to do (if you got problems with substratum and are running magisk modules), taken from the official substratum thread:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Is it in the Benzo Extras settings?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
I had the same issue then cleaned flashed and when I got a theme update it broke it again. Had to clean flash again. Any ideas [MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Yes. Benzo extras, statusbar, statusbar items
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I'm curious if anyone else is having problems with those settings.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
I'm having issues with them myself
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rorsche:
All the settings except status bar items work for me
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamreinvented:
Useless post but I <3 this ROM. Running great :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] beavilknievil:
Anyone else get constant freezing and closes with Facebook. I'm positive its the app but man is it annoying. I'm on Benzo wife is on 8.1 and we both get them constantly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NeCr0mStR:
[MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION] the only thing I can find is that the Statusbar Items crashes. Everything else is very solid. Love the fact that Pie is so start learning and fast compared to Oreo.

Thanks for the awesome ROM. If the Statusbar Items isn't crashing on you, I can logcat it for you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] doctorm89:
I boot into TWRP and change to slot A, but then I just can't flash the ROM zip. It said "Failed to mount '/system' (Permission denied)".

Don't know why. :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
When you change the slot, are you rebooting recovery to ensure you're in the new one? You can't just change it in recovery and proceed. You have to reboot recovery
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
This is correct. I always switch slots, then reboot recovery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Is Digital Wellbeing have any stats generated for anyone? I just looked at mine and it was blank.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goast:
Mine is showing normal use
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
I used Titanium to wipe add data and everything just popped up. Weird.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Anyone have night Mode setting in developers options always revert to "always on" no matter what you set it to?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DarthDickus:
Had the issue with FB freezing as well. I just installed an older version and it stopped
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
Are you rooted before you try flashing ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
I have noticed that the battery usage details are not available. Is this on purpose? I can't see which apps are using my battery etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yshalsager:
[MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION]

Can you add network speed indicator, please?

Thanks for your hard work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
I've noticed this as well
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Quadman:
Can you post the substratum apk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jnewberry1:
Check your PM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nixolar:
I second this. Both. Please bake in a network speed indicator! And thanks for this amazing rom. Going strong a week after flashing it as a way to upgrade from Oreo to Pie. It is amazing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] strra:
after using this ROM for a week, here are my takeaways:

Bluetooth works much better than stock

The camera seems to start quicker

The phone runs way hotter than stock

The battery life seems to be considerably worse than stock

Some apps seems way more unstable than stock (namely Mercari)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snsone:
+1

Battery life is almost half vs stock
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dachfenster:
That all points to the kernel. The CPU seems to be running at full frequency like 80% of the time (at least the little cluster).

Because of this the ROM's smooth as **** but also (quite) a bit behind regarding battery life.

At least that's what I've experienced.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Auctionedllama:
Please add network speed indicator, pretty much the last feature I'm rooting for. Separately, I have not observed poor battery life for this rom and am rather pleased with it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
I was running EX kernel and only getting about 2.5 hours SOT. I was getting 4+ hours on DU oreo with EX. I've had issues with BT when switching between pocketcasts and my music app. It will play the first app, then when I switch it will not play any sound.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tnmurdock:
question, the stock boot.img file, can I extract that from the zip file from google? or the easiest place to get it. I have always relied on programs to flash everything for me. I have realized this is an easier way (doing my own flashing) than using someone else's software. Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
Yes that's where to get it from, and I'm glad you're flashing things manually now. You're able to understand the process to a greater degree this way I feel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Well something is wrong with your setup then because I get great battery life. I had Netflix streaming for 4.5 hours last weekend after the phone had been off the charger for almost a day(mostly idle though). I didn't plan to share the ss so that's why the graph isn't in it.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Is it a pixel launcher issue or Google issue that on non stock ROMs there is no lock screen weather?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
Is the rom stable or is it in Alpha yet?

Are the gapps included? Thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
The ROM is plenty stable. Gapps are included.

I've only ran into two issues with it so far though;

Bluetooth playback sound sometimes stops when switching between different audio apps (Pocketcast and Shuttle+ in my case) The only thing that would fix it is a reboot.

Sometimes an outbound phone call will continue to ring after the other person has picked up. It won't stop ringing (in my ear only) until the phone call has ended
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
the bluetooth thing does not matter to me, but the outgoing call that continues the ringing still taking the call, and makes me back .. I think I'll wait for the next update of the rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
In all fairness I think the call thing was due to some terrible reception I was getting at the time. I have dropped a few calls in that same location before.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
Neither the Google translator knows what they put ... hehe hehe, is not solved the calls?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dcfjoe:
This ROM is pretty stable. I get random lockups with Facebook and Snapchat. The only way to actually use those two apps is to pretty much Force Stop them, use them until they crash, Force Stop, rinse and repeat.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stebomurkn420:
All my eyes can see is that statusbar padding! ;) lmao. Great work as always [MENTION=1594954]xanad[/MENTION]roid
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
I removed most of the padding for the next build. I got sick of it as well heh.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
Google has their own SystemUI in their roms that has it and it's not in AOSP. I'm working with a friend now to port it using decompiled code so hopefully we'll have it soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xanaxdroid:
It's most likely because you have night mode on in Messages. For some reason Messages changes night mode to always on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stebomurkn420:
OMG... This is wonderful news! I was hoping someone would take on the task, noone better than you!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I haven't had either of these issues with this ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jiggs82:
Great rom and super fast but if so can you please add data activity icons like from nitrogen rom etc, or an enable/disable option and lock screen weather please?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
One minor thing I've noticed is when long pressing the volume buttons to change tracks it picks up the initial press and changes the volume up or down one press a well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DriveEuro:
Yeah, Facebook and Facebook Messenger both constantly lock up on me. It makes them damn near unusable. Don't have this problem on stock ROM with Sept image. I really want to use this ROM, but the random lockups in FB and some other apps is making me want to go back to stock.

Thanks for everything ....you're the man.....FYI the Substratum issues were Substratum related. Substratum beta version 1003 seems to fix all of the issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
I tried the previous version and when configuring it in the wifi section I did not connect to my network, I configured it with data and when everything was already configured I went to the wifi, and it did not connect me either, and in the options of status bar, F.C

Many widget no works " Problem loading widget "

Bye Lele

I have the same issue
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cerj:
I've noticed the widgets not loading across devices and roms, sometimes a simple reboot will help. Although I use Nova Launcher so I'm not certain about stock
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Dear [MENTION=2699658]xanaxdroid[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for taking time to share your work with us! :good:

I am wondering if there is an "expanded desktop" option implemented in the ROM already, or if it is something you plan to add in the future?

I still rely on the navbar for web browsing, etc... But it's kind of annoying when i don't need it.

Have a nice day! :highfive:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fipm:
Same problem for me using the stock pixel launcher.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Loving this ROM, the stability is great, as is the battery life! I was curious though (and didn't see it mentioned when I searched, although I could be missing something) if there is any chance of adding a ambient music detection like Pixeldust for the Pixel XL has in its latest 8.1 version, or CypherOS has. I used it on PixelDust today, and while obviously not a must have feature, it's nice to have at times. Either way, this is still the best Pie based rom I have used, keep up the great work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kushsix:
Most definitely my daily driver by far. Keep up the rad work pimpin'
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lachiefish:
Does anyone know how this rom compares to pixel dust? I'm trying to decide on whether to run benzo or dust. If anyone has tried both, any feedback on which one you prefer would be appreciated :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Tons of features here. Best Pie ROM out in my opinion.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xrage28:
Lo :)

Coming from original rom and take this guide :

After you flash, boot TWRP. Flash the TWRP zip. Then check which slot you're in. Wipe data, cache, system. Change slot. Reboot recovery. Make sure it's the new slot. Flash ROM. Flash TWRP. Reboot recovery. Make sure you're back into the original slot. Reboot system.

But it keeps showing the google G with a status bar under it. How longs does that take ?

:)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
My first boot from stock upgrade, and sometimes a dirty flash, take around 10-15 minutes. Just plug your phone in to the charger and stay calm.
