New post on our site.

https://lineageos.org/Changelog-20/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Will these new features be in your next Lineage 16 build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
no. those have nothing to do with 16.0 or unofficial builds. but some of them are already in my 16.0 build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] UberActivist:
No new build this week?

Also, when 16.0 goes official (in the hopefully not too distant future) will we be able to upgrade easily from 15.1?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
unfortunately the build server had a little hiccup and caused a couple devices build's to fail. I'll try to get our SysOps guy to kick off a new marlin build.

yes. you could always easily do upgrades with cm and lineage, without wiping data.

just don't make the common mistake of attempting the upgrade without also upgrading your gapps. otherwise, you'd end up with a bunch of crashing.

and of course you'd need to flash the new vendor, radio, & bootloader img also.

When accepting the OTA, I loose TWRP which gets replaced by the LOS recovery. I try fastboot booting TWRP 3.2.0.0 and then flashing TWRP zip but after rebooting, I get sent back to TWRP instead of booting up. I've tried a few different things but the problem persists. Anyone know how to get TWRP back after OTA?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] General_Tso:
Hello. I've had the last few sailfish updates freeze at "finalizing installation." Progress bar stalls and nothing happens. Let phone sit for 8 plus hours. Figured the first one was a bad download, but it happened to me again. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HaggisIV:
I just rebooted to recovery to flash superSU and saw the same thing had happened to me. Reflashing twrp isn't a big deal, but is twrp supposed to be overwritten by lineage recovery when taking an OTA?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Yes as twrp is considered a 3rd party recovery. Surprised SuperSU is still being used over magisk by some people.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HaggisIV:
Thanks for the response. Never owned a device with official support before so the OTAs never worked.

As for superSU over magisk, I just don't need any of the features of magisk. SuperSU seems to be more minimal and fulfills the few reasons I use root (pretty much only for adaway).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
Regular devices (without the a/b partition) have a separate partition for the recovery, that's not part of the rom zip. So there's no recovery change when those are flashed.

But a/b devices have the recovery inside the boot img in the rom zip. So when the rom is compiled, the aosp recovery is included. We modify the aosp recovery a little bit and name it Lineage Recovery. So that's why the aosp/lineage recovery is installed after installing rom zip. That's why you you flash the twrp zip after flashing rom zip. Blame google for this annoying change. lol

If you want minimal root, i highly recommend you use the su addon we provide, instead of SuperSU.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HaggisIV:
Thank you for the explanation!

I was referencing the su addon, but just accidentally called it SuperSU out of old habit.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
Issue with the newest update... It causes you to lose your root, opengapps, and xposed framework. Only solution I found was to do a completed reinstall so I could get the opengapps again. Might be a bug
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
xposed is famous for causing all sorts of issues
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
I doubt is was xposed for this is removed root and opengapps too when I used the built in updater
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kyleinkc:
Same thing happens to me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
No you're right. No one else had this issue so it must be a updater issue.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Have you had this happen with a clean install?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kyleinkc:
Sorry about the edit, I messed up the quotes.

Yes, I ran it after a clean install. It just hangs. Not discounting user error, I do know that because I use Sprint, some of the inner-workings are different than other carriers. I doubt that would cause this, but you never know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
I wouldn't think that would cause a boot hang though. Weird.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] UberActivist:
Before I switched over to 16.0, I had two issues where the updater would install, then partway through the screen would just go black. I let it sit for like 45 minutes before a hard shutdown... And it would booth back up on the next build but without magisk installed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
We're you using Xposed?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] UberActivist:
No
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Magisk 17.2?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pWEN:
I just updated from 20180911 to 20180918 (I'm a bit behind...) and started getting forced-close messages, particularly for Messages and Pandora. Then I realized 20181002 just released, so I updated to that, and same issue. I thought I could just update the apps in the Play Store... and that's when I discovered the Play Store was missing. So I'm experiencing the same issue with the vanishing OpenGapps. I rebooted to TWRP, flashed the GApps, and now have even more closing errors. Clearing caches and such doesn't help. I'm going to have to wipe the phone and start over.

Edit: attached the open_gapps install log in case that's helpful. I couldn't find a log for LineageOS.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
Whenever you lose opengapps you gotta start over from scratch cause it requires you to have it from the first boot of the OS.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pWEN:
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess some bug in the updater is what removed them to begin with?!@#$%^&*()_+<>:"?{}|

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
For root should I use the su add-on or magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] schneiderklaus:
I have a problem that the WiFi hotspot (tethering) is not working on my Pixel (sailfish).

I can connect to the hotspot, but there is no Internet connection. Details here: https://jira.lineageos.org/projects/BUGBASH/issues/BUGBASH-2371

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] HaggisIV:
If you use any apps that require an unrooted device then use magisk. You should also look through the magisk modules to see if there's anything that you'd want to try out.

If none you don't need any of the above, then the su addon is fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
Does anyone have the boot.img for the latest version of LineageOS? I tried to install twrp to the system and it ****ed the boot and it goes directly to twrp instead of lineageos so yeah I just need a copy of the boot.img so I can replace it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dopaminejunky:
I'm happily running LOS 15.1 + TWRP + Magisk, however I have an irritating problem. Periodically when I update or reboot my device Magisk is gone and TWRP has been replaced with LOS recovery. I have to fastboot into a TWRP image and reinstall TWRP and Magisk. Is there a way to update LOS without having it hose my recovery and boot partitions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Smyc151:
I have the same problem on my Pixel XL. I would love to find a solution!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
Go back and read the last three pages.... You will find the answer.....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dopaminejunky:
Ah, so the problem makes sense; let me see if I have the right steps for a solution:

1. Download the OTA

2. Export it to the sdcard

3. Boot into TWRP

4. Flash OTA

5. Flash TWRP

6. (Reboot to recovery?) Flash Magisk

Does that sound like the right sequence? The whole A/B device thing has been tough to get the hang of for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
How would I go about installing twrp? When I tried to do it it completely broke the boot.img so how do I do it?

Edit: Yes I was able to recover the system because it overwrote the way it booted into lineage but twrp loaded instead.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Why are you doing anything with the boot.img? Twrp install is as per the twrp website.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bowserman16162:
I used the .zip installer. It modifies the boot.img in slot a and b
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
You're being super vague...

What Zip installer? If you aren't in TWRP you can't flash a Zip...

From the website:

"If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:

fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img

This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your password, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots. Installing TWRP at this time will remove root if you are currently rooted."

Boot isn't affected by twrp. recovery is.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Twrp lives in the boot partition on Pixel's, there's no recovery partition
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Semantics. It is technically in the boot partition, but it is a section of it that is designated for recovery within the ramdisk. It doesn't however effect what most think of the boot as... kernel etc...

"recovery: The recovery partition stores the recovery image, booted during the OTA process. If the device supports A/B updates, recovery can be a RAM disk contained in the boot image rather than a separate image."

First ever dirty flash success. No issues what-so-ever. Thanks for the hard work and Thanks for the previous instructions and really... for the best rom on 8.1 to date, for Pixel XL. Just because I like to see the quick rom tests from users before I install, to help anyone looking.

Better than stock...

Bluetooth... WiFi... Cellular... GPS... Live Display... gestures... CamNX... custom kernel (I use NSFW)...No Force Close Apps... passes safetynet (I use Magisk 15.0) Everything works and works well. (Power Menu not, as noted).

All Good!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] loeffler23:
Okay so I flashed the rom and everything correctly let it boot up and did all the initial set up, then I went back into TWRP to flash magisk like I have a billion times but after flashing magisk my phone wouldn't boot (yes I was on the correct slot) instead it went into this bootloop saying something about ramdisk is writing to ext4 or something and it would not boot nor would it cancel. Gonna have to reflash this on Sunday but can you tell me what I did wrong so I can avoid it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nick80835:
[MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] Have you thought about upstreaming to 3.18.91? The reference upstreamed kernel merges perfectly on top of your kernel source and functions perfectly on my device. :fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joeski27:
Well I must have missed it because it wasn't listed with all the other download links in the OP, but I guess that would be too logical to put it there. My bad. :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
I probably won't do that. I like to keep the kernel source inline with aosp. Ensures stability and makes the monthly merges with aosp easy with no conflicts.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
i'm on 16.0 so i couldn't test myself, but i just had a few people on 15.1 test and it works fine for them.

you're not using any magisk module or dns or vpn mod, are you? they're known to cause problems with that.

i think t-mobile's network is picky about internet protocol. go into apn settings and set protocol to ipv6. then reboot and try hotspot.

another thing to try is add dun to apn types, so that it's "default,supl,mms,dun". then reboot and try
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] schneiderklaus:
Adding "dun" to the apn types fixed it!

I used twrp to flash the zip file to install twrp
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rachara:
I'm in a bit of a pickle. Been using this rom for quite awhile now (and it has done well, thank you), and trying to upgrade to new android stuffs. On the new lineage page, followed directions to flash the updated vendor/radio/bootloader, using the fastboot commands. Everything went fine, then when I went to reboot, it would just boot into the bootloader. I was hoping that would lead me to a stock android pie deal, but alas just bootloader. Question 1, what did I do wrong here? My thought is that, maybe those 3 things I installed, weren't the operating system itself, just foundations for it, and maybe thats why I just got bootloader?

Question 2: I still have this rom's files on my phone, so I was able to get back into recovery, follow directions to flash this again, everything installed right as apples, however I can only boot to bootloader, again (fwiw I can change slots and get a bootloop, but thats as useful as tits on a fish). I'm guessing that the reason I'm getting this error now, is because I've updated said vendor/radio/bootloader and they aren't compatible with this version of the rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davwman:
Brand new Verizon Pixel XL being used on T-Mobile(I unlocked and rooted before any updates were done) flashed Lineage 15.1 and noticed battery life not that great. I found a thread before I even had this device about someone running Oreo 8.1 that found disabling automatic time and date increased battery life exponentially. Well, I did the same and found the same results. I can't remember if that person was running Lineage, which might be the case. Has anyone heard of this or experienced this themselves?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] clambert11:
Interesting... Battery life has been hit and miss for me. Mainly not that great but I don't manage it and do run some apps optimized for the battery. I'm going to give this a shot myself.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] davwman:
It definitely made a huge difference and the phone also runs cooler. I get 3 hours sot with 60% left. The phone also runs cooler.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pWEN:
Definitely going to try that on my Pixel. Especially since I can't get ElementalX OR NathanChance's Flash kernel to work with this ROM. Need that extra battery life.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] UberActivist:
My experience is a massive improvement in battery life by switching to the unofficial 16.0 lineage razorloves is maintaining.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Poebat:
I know this isn't really related to this rom, but my Pixel running LOS15.1 crashed and now is stuck in EDL Mode and is showing up as "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" on my PC. It has been running LOS15.1 for almost 7 months now so I don't see why it would occur out of no where. Is there any way to reboot out of EDL mode? Holding the power button for 30 sec makes it disappear from device manager for a few seconds but then it reappears in EDL mode again. I read online that it's possible to reflash the partitions if you another phone to pull them off of. I have another Pixel but I'm not sure how to go about this. Does anyone know what I can do do unbrick my Pixel? I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kennedyyy:
Just bought a pixel XL pre-owned, so should I install this or stick to stock android? Kinda wary about custom ROMs cause usually after a few months battery issues happen etc so usually revert back to stock anyway
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pWEN:
I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in battery life since trying that trick. Maybe my battery is past its prime, I don't know.

Install it, try it, go back to stock if you don't like it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SaberJ2X:
Proof the lineageos 15.1 battery life is awesome for me...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pWEN:
Not saying it can't or won't work, just that it hasn't seemed to have worked for me. *shrug*

Edit: kind of misworded this... The battery life on Lineage is very good. I just haven't seen a difference in it since doing that trick with the automatic date and time.

Help!!! I have followed the steps but my Pixel XL does not boot (only a black screen).

I did:

1.- fastboot flash --slot all vendor vendor-marlin-opm4.171019.021.p1.img

2.- fastboot flash --slot all radio radio-marlin-8996-130091-1802061512.img

3.- fastboot flash --slot all bootloader bootloader-marlin-8996-012001-1711291800.img

4.- fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-marlin.img

5.- adb push lineage-15.1-20181106-nightly-marlin-signed.zip /sdcard/

6.- Then I installed this zip from TWRP after Wipes.

7.- adb push twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard/

8.- Then I installed this zip from TWRP.

9.- Then I went to reboot to recovery.

10.- adb push addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip /sdcard/

11.- Then I installed the addon su from TWRP.

12.- Reboot to system.

13.- After that all black... and I cannot boot it.

Did I do something wrong?

I cannot enter to recovery (power + volume down does not work). I think I have a brick instance of Pixel XL :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
IF you can get to the bootloader, you should be able to flash stock firmware (July for Oreo)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mikefnz:
OK, don't panic. It won't be bricked.

Follow HueyT's advice and start from scratch by installing a stock image.

Personally, I would move to stock Pie and then the move to Razorloves unofficial Lineage 16 will be available to you.

Follow this very detailed guide: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-9-0-pie-unlock-t3825866/page28

Hold power and vol.down for 20 sec and then see if it'll go into bootloader mode--otherwise its hard bricked :(
