can anyone help me with getting Magisk to work on this ROM? had some trials yesterday coming from Purenexus / 7.1.2, took a couple tries but eventually got the ROM to stick to slot B. thing is, whenever I try to flash Magisk through the fastboot TWRP image provided on the thread, it asks for a password and does not accept the PIN that I have always used for my phone's lock, just says password failed and as a result the storage is encrypted so I cannot flash Magisk through there.

thing is, Qapital (finances app) detects root somehow in my device, saying "This app does not allow rooted devices" yet when I try to access root files via my file manager (X-plore), it says I'm not rooted, probably because it can't request permissions via Magisk. not sure what's going on here, and I also don't see any option to patch a boot image on the Magisk Manager app i have installed.

last time when I tried to flash latest Magisk through TWRP 3.2.1-2, it erased my OS somehow, looping me into recovery mode when I try to reboot to system, causing me to have to flash the ROM again. maybe worth mentioning that 3.2.1-2 also asks for a password and my PIN works fine. any ideas?

EDIT: i disabled the lock on my phone and was able to go into the patched TWRP that Magisk provided without encrypted storage and flash Magisk 14.3, went through fine then rebooted to system and got redirected to recovery again :( looks like i have to redo the ROM install again.... any help with getting Magisk to work would be greatly appreciated, as well as any clues as to why this happens.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
Why are you flashing Magisk 14.3? I don't think that version supports oreo. Did you follow the steps in the OP?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markgnarza:
yeah, just redid it with latest version of Magisk and it worked out fine. used 14.3 originally because read somewhere that modules could only be used with 14.3, but that was an old post and come to think of it, probably more specific to PureNexus than a general rule. my bad!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m.a.s.e:
i too came from PureNexus 7.1.2... man, that was a hard decision to make lol.... but this rom is pretty solid... so far im really happy i made the choice :)

Hey [MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] is there any chance for Taimen (Pixel 2 XL) builds? I have the opportunity to swap up and I'm contemplating it but love your ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
I don't have that device, friend, nor do I plan on getting one any time soon. Also glad you like the build :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
Well that stinks but I'm not surprised. Maybe you'll make the switch down the line. Appreciate the response so quickly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markgnarza:
got this ROM installed and it seems that my network connection is very spotty, and seemingly dropping out for hours on end until I send an MMS? this has all been happening in the last two days, don't think it's an issue with my phone service (Sprint), first idea is to update the radio, though i've never done that before. any other ideas?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turkaloo:
I've recently updated to the latest ROM release. The update went smooth but now I've been getting random reboots. Actually, they are more like just UI restarts where I get the boot animation. I attached a log file.

I read Linux logs at work on a daily basis, but I'm not too familiar with the Android logging when I looked through the log
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
Thanks again for the update. Will flash it after reaching home. Have been a solid rom for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m.a.s.e:
Thank you !! Dirty flash and so far so good. solid rom !! do you by anycheck use PushBullet or similar where we can subscribe to new releases?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] awolfcw:
Have they fixed Google maps yet mine would never show me the blue route during navigation?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] petiolarissean:
The 4.4 update solid except ambient display not working correctly.Sean

Thanks guys for great rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
I just installed this ROM last night (coming from 7.1.2 PureNexus) and experienced this same issue just now. Everything was fine until my commute on the metro this morning, so lots of spotty connecting/disconnecting. When I got off the metro I had no data connection for about an hour, and it only came back when I sent myself an MMS. I have Sprint as well and the latest radio.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markgnarza:
the exact same resolution for me, would send an MMS to trigger it to eventually turn back on a minute or so after. although, the issue seems (at least for now) to have fixed itself, as it was occurring to me last week and I originally attributed it to the construction going on at my place of work, but the problem persisted when i left. back at work now and data seems to be working fine, can't really say I've done anything to try to fix, didn't even factory reset. hoping it lasts, knock on wood, but definitely let me/us know of a solution if you end up finding one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jstoik:
FYI, after dirty flashing the latest FireHound, I flashed the newer Gapps build (gapps-marlin-sailfish-8.1-nano-20180328.zip) instead of the January one listed in the OP.

It worked just fine! :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
Since yesterday I've had to do this MMS thing at least 5 times. I seem to lose data randomly every few hours, not sure how long I want to stick with this.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] markgnarza:
have you updated to the latest release yet? might help. only other thing my very-unqualified self can suggest is to flash a factory image.

sidenote: when flashing a factory image on the Pixel XL, does anyone know if you have to do it to both slots or will the script do both itself?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
I only started using this ROM 2 nights ago and came from 7.1.2, so I started with factory 8.1 then the latest version of this ROM. Also the flash-all script will do everything you need to boot the factory image.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pkelly517:
The script will flash both slots. Remove the '-w' if you want to keep data.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Sorry for the issue, but there's not a lot I can do for a problem that I can't replicate. When it's random, I know it's hard to get a log, you can try a factory reset. Then, instead of re-installing all your apps, run clean, with only GApps going and see if the problem persists.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m.a.s.e:
Was anyone able to get airwatch to run on this rom? i have hidden airwatch and work profile manager via magisk but still app detect device as compromised.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
I haven't tried running with GApps only, but I found a way to reproduce the problem. When I turn on Airplane Mode, I won't have data once I come out of it. Logcat is attached of the following actions:

1) Enable Airplane Mode

2) Disable Airplane Mode (no mobile data present)

3) Send myself MMS

4) Mobile data comes back

5) MMS is received
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Didn't reproduce for me, when I turned off Airplane Mode, my data came back on. I'll give your log a look when I get a chance
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
Thanks, appreciate the support!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
Waiting for April update!!! Awesome Rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
I'm also getting the same behavior when connecting to WiFi. I recorded a log of losing data when connecting to WiFi and another of getting it back by sending an MMS.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dpotter5:
I searched the thread because I was seeing the same issue and came across this post. Are you on Sprint? If so, this fixed it for me:

From a computer:

adb shell settings put global tethering_dun_required 0

Or (if you're rooted) from terminal on your phone:

su (then grant root permission)
settings put global tethering_dun_required 0
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
Last night I reset the network settings (Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth). Since then I have not experienced any mobile data dropouts through commuting, connecting/disconnecting to WiFi, or toggling airplane mode. I noticed resetting the network also changed the preferred network type from LTE to Global (Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network), and am not sure if this had an effect as well, but for now all seems well.

Just wanted to give an update on this in case it can help anyone else with similar issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Whoa!! So Substratum themes still work on this ROM? I thought Google blocked Substratum.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DR3W5K1:
Substratum works on all roms now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
I don't think so:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/74354703

Pretty sure it's blocked in the April vendor img.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DR3W5K1:
Oh that's news to me. I wonder if andromeda still works? Looks like I won't be updating.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Yeah me neither!

BTW, does anyone known how to get that special home icon on the nav bar? I did something and its changed to a Google stock one and I'm sad now. :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
It's probably changed as part of a theme.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
That patch was actually applied in March, but there's currently a simple workaround, one line of code actually. I don't know if Andromeda will still work or not, but if you're rooted you can still apply themes on the current build of FireHound (v4.4) without issue.

I'm working on April stuff now and hopefully a new update will be ready soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Thank you for your reply mate, looking forward to the new build. Been running the ROM for most of the day today and its been really fun.

Somehow my home icon changed from the flame to a Google circle, is there any way I could get the flame back?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DR3W5K1:
So Google did this on purpose?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Imperialized:
Anyone having luck with the 3 finger swipe screenshot? I looked for a setting, but can't get it to work. I did add it to power menu though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
Works for me without any issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Imperialized:
What do you do, just slide the fingers? together? separate? I've tried a multitude of things
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
Three fingers on the screen at a time and slide down. Tried it again and it works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Only time mine goes away is when I apply an overlay to the navbar or edit the icon in in Smartbar settings. You could try to reset defaults in Smartbar...

Settings/Ashes/Navigation Bar/Navigation bar/Smartbar settings (there's a reset button on the top)

Yes, they did this on purpose for no apparent reason
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
Thanks mate yeah I think it's because I'm using the swift black theme, that's a real shame because I really like that icon.

I made a temporary one myself I can apply using the SmartBar options, I'll attach it below if anyone wants to use it. It actually looks pretty good imo, just set the scale to something like 55-75. It works great if you blacked out your navigation bar!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
Is there a way to bypass the Ambient Display when using double-tap-to-wake? Right now when I double-tap it first brings up the Ambient Display, then I have to double-tap again to get to the lock screen, which is awkward. I'm not using Always-On-Display.

Alternatively, is there a way to get back the ambient display where it just shows a black & white version of the lockscreen instead?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
Second this if possible.

Also, is there a one-handed mode in the future? Something that affects the whole display.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Klufenza:
Why is my lockscreen always lit? I can't seem to find a way to turn it off
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
Look for always on display under ambient display.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Klufenza:
Thank you! I found it, but I had to change my phone's language from Polish to English first ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dpotter5:
Has it been working for you ever since the reset? I'm also on Sprint and see this issue once in a while. Probably close to once a day, but I had been resetting the network settings every time it happened, which fixes it temporarily, but is a huge PITA because it makes me lose all of my wifi connections.

I will actually just try the MMS trick for now so I don't have to keep losing my wifi networks.

It's probably worth noting that I had this same problem on my Nexus 5x on another Lineage based ROM...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
No I've also had to do the MMS or network reset thing periodically, though network reset fix seems to last longer for me than MMS so I've been using that more (1-2 days vs 4-5 hours). I tried flashing the latest radio from the April image as well and it hasn't helped.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] harihacker:
I hope April build will land soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mohdr47r6:
thanks for the incredible rom, I appreciate your hardwork and effort.

my feedback for the latest build 4.4 is faster + smoother and noticeably faster in booting, but it's giving me lower battery life in screen time by arround 30% from the previous build...

i wish you can manage to add viper4android sound effect in the next build and focusing on the battery life it would be perfect

all the best...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brightjh01:

Got to say looks good to me I'll try this weekend since this is my phone and I need it for the week thanks guys
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Aoofydiver:
Every time I make a call I lose data on Verizon. I have hd calling and everything enabled and have cycled them off and on with Verizon.

In settings the advanced calling switch is on. But every time make a call it goes grey till I hang up.

I did a clean install and tried it with no apps installed. Still does the same thing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. It started this a couple of updates ago.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
For me, resetting WiFi, mobile and Bluetooth did the trick. Follow the path: Settings/System/Reset options/Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth

You'll have to re-enter WiFi passwords and re-pair your Bluetooth devices, but it got VoLTE and Video calling working for me again.

Others have said going into the advanced menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle off and then back on all the "provisioned" switches, gets it working again. Let us know if any of that works for you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stebomurkn420:
It's a pita, but if you flash the P Dev preview and then roll back to April it will restore VoLTE. This was the only option that worked for me.

No luck

Flashed rom last nite all is good sofar, but wifi tethering I get connect with not internet connection, have I done something wrong?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jinded:
WiFi tethering works fine for me. Does your phone actually lose its data connection when you turn on tethering, or do the connected devices not get internet?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brightjh01:
the connect devices is not getting connection the pixel is fine. running connection diagnosis on chromebook. it shows IP address and gateway looks fine but not working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
On the latest version. Wasn't there a setting to control how bright the screen is when a notification comes in (while the screen is locked)? I can't find it and ever since I flashed this update, the notification (black background, sort of like ambient display) has been at full brightness. I think I remember that I had it set much dimmer but I can't find now.

V4.5 is fast, flashed over previous build.

I lost my battery bar and it won't come back, I probably should have disabled it before flashing, I'll wait until next build or reflash if I have time.

Great ROM though, keep up the awesome work!

Did Smart Pixels get added to 4.5?

Edit: I would like to add a request for a restart QS tile (DU has this)

Can you use custom kernels on this room, such as elementalX?

The rom is super smooth during normal operation, but when I am in the game idle heroes, I get alot of lag/delay when loading certain elements/screens which didn't occur on stock rom.
