In due time, the development team has school (college and such) so most of the work is restricted to weekends at this time. Plus, they've decided to bump up Oreo to v4.9 soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ethans137:
My phone says that the vender image is out of date. I know you're supposed to:fastboot flash vendor vendor.img but will this mess up my rom when I update to the current vendor img? the rom is working just fine without the current vendor image...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
It won't mess up the ROM, as long as you're flashing the July Oreo vendor image, OPM4.171019.021.P1

If you don't have it, you can download it here

Mine is okay. Wonder of it's your router
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
Weird. I have other things connected to it on 5ghz with no issue. Phone just says obtaining ip for a second then flips to saved, never actually connects. Not a big deal since 2.4ghz works but thank you for verifying it works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buski:
long press back to kill no work in smart bar with back button
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Thanks for pointing that out (I clicked that button too). I'm still learning the ins and outs of this ROM myself. I just discovered it Saturday, lol, and the team asked me if I wanted to be an Official Maintainer.

I can't find an option to turn it on...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dnsh89:
Yes, i tried flashing EX kernel twice. It did not boot. ..

And I'm having an android system drain too.. i did clean flash...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] amirage:
Hi,

Can we please have this feature in the next iteration?

https://www.xda-developers.com/iphone-x-gestures-android-guide/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Sorry EX don't work for you, have you tried any of the other custom kernels? And, can you be more specific about your "Android system drain"?

Why not just setup the Fling navbar?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dnsh89:
No, I didn't try any other custom kernels..

As in the device doesn't get into deep sleep.. and I saw android system was draining a lot than the previous ROM I was on.. so I just wanted to let you know..

BTW the whole feel of the ROM is very good, ashes and everything.. boot animation is nice as well.. :good::o
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
Fling does work well, but giving these gestures allows for more screen real estate
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
No problem. I love the ROM so far. The option for force kill is in smartbar. Enable edit, press and hold a button on the navigation bar, select action, long press then force close app. It doesn't do anything though. Other actions set work from what I can see.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jrmiller:
All roms should have smartbar IMO.

Long press power button while screen is off for flashlight would be awesome to have on here

ROM is running great btw
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dcfjoe:
Has anybody tried this ROM with the February images?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
ROM is still on January images currently.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pavel73:
how is the battery?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
Haven't had it installed super long (Sunday) but from what I can tell it's performing the same as the first build of LOS that Razorloves released, battery-wise. I'm liking it a lot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
You'd probably be alright if you flashed the boot loader, and I'll test that here in a few to make sure. But flashing the vendor image is not recommended, the fingerprints won't match and it might not boot.

I get 4-5 hours SOT, and plug in between 20 and 30%. I could probably get more time, but don't like to run my battery that low (I read somewhere it's not good for a Li-ion battery to get below 20%, I just can't remember where)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] seangeezy12:
Is it possible to get pixel 2 launcher as default?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Possibly, I use Nova myself and I was thinking of using that for launcher instead of Launcher 3, or at least include it in the ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
I'll upload the folder and apk to place in priv-app if anyone wants it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Yes please
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] encephalon9986:
I can't sign into my google account on this ROM. Did three fresh installs with the same issue every time. I am using the gapps provided and all. It just hangs at gathering info.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
Good Lord I hope not unless it's an option. I absolutely hate it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jrmiller:
Wow really?

Its should always be an option :highfive:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
This can be one of those odd issues that can happen with any ROM on any device. If and/or when it hangs up, just tap the back arrow in the bottom left corner of the screen. Wait a few seconds and try again.

Also, when wiping for clean install, don't just do a factory reset, go advanced and wipe everything

except

internal storage.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Any news on Feb patch version of Firehound?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
I'm experimenting...

I've got February bootloader and vendor installed, no issues so far (also, I didn't have to delete the vendor/overlay folder :victory: )

The Team is talking like v4.1.1 will be ready by the weekend, either way, we publish updates/releases on Sundays.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Just installed this a hour ago, came from a few different roms. This is by far my favorite ROM available for the Pixel XL so far! Only thing I'd love to see added is the battery percentage shown in the Always on display, but other than that, it's great!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pavel73:
It's there any method to dezactivate always on feauture and put flip to turn on the screen like apple?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jackaroop:
I'm confused as to where you found the Always on Display?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
I think he's referring to the Ambient Display, because AoD hasn't been implemented, lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
It's not part of the ROM, I just replaced the framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk with the one from the Pixel XL 2 (from the January security update, same as this ROM is currently on), set the same permissions, and rebooted. Then it shows up in the display settings and works significantly better than via the substratum version. It doesn't seem this has burn in protection enabled so I also replaced the framework-res.apk (with the one from the Pixel 2, non XL) and that seems to have added it. Would be nice to see this built into the ROM in the future though.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

Actually, no lol. Added it myself and works flawlessly (detailed-ish response sent to the person who asked).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
I saw that, after the fact. I'll do some testing and see if it's something I want to add, thanks for the info.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
No problem, there's probably a simpler way to do it but that's what works for me. Keep up the great work, I'll definitely be on this ROM for a while!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
The only drawback I can foresee from having an AoD is that long pressing the power for torch and long pressing volume to skip tracks wouldn't work. I wonder whether or not there's a way to say that the AoD or AD is a 'screen off' status as far as the buttons go? :confused:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
Can I get that information too? That's the one thing I'm missing from this ROM

Rather, the correct file. Don't want to try and hunt that one specific file down. And where it's located in the system folder.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
framework-res.apk is in "system/framework" and framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk is in "vendor/overlay"

One way to get them would be to download the Pixel 2 zip from Google and extract the images, they may be somewhere in the forum though...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
Yeah, was just trying to avoid downloading the huge file if I only needed the one apk. That, and I can't seem to extract things lately. The new format isn't as simple as before.

I figured it may be there, just wasn't sure. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kutzki:
Does the GAPPS you use allow users to restore their apps, etc.? Also, the link for GAPPS is EXTREMELY slow to be honest.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Yes, it does, although I just restored Titanium Backup and used it. Sorry for slow AFH, but those GApps are needed or the device won't act right
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kutzki:
Can you upload it using a diff server of some sort? Mega.co.nz link, etc.?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
The APK here goes in Vendor/overlay and replaces the original (make a backup), make sure you set the same permissions then reboot. In TWRP flash the other one (adding the APK in a file manager causes issues for whatever reason) to get burn in protection. Some people say it breaks substratum, but I haven't had any issues with it. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=11SC_rwodiJjAD43B2xDYIrimpmT7UjOy
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
Thanks. Tried this with a build I'd had substratum on, and wouldn't boot. Clean flashed, then tried again, and working well. Thanks! Only wish it was the moving AOD. Have you noticed that if you leave it for too long, double tap doesn't wake? I have to end up pressing the power button
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
I always use the fingerprint scanner so I never noticed that, but double tapping has always been horrible for me honestly. It does move, just incredibly slowly (use a screen recorder and speed it up and you'll see it slightly move every minute). That's odd with the substratum thing though, it should work after then I guess.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dictionary:
Used to use fingerprint scanner as well, but kept forgetting to disable it before going into twrp, lol. That, and it seemed Everytime I set it up, in a day or two I'd be doing something in twrp. I'll give that a go again. Glad that it moves, lol. Thanks

Not really needing subs for anything at this point. FireHound running fantastic so far Nepo. Tell huge enthusiastic thumbs up
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pavel73:
Yes, ambient display my mistake so it s possible?

[MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION], what was the update in essentials for?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
Changelog says testing OTA.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Just doing some testing, y'all wasn't supposed to notice, lol.

New update will be out sometime this Sunday :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
We see all! (that we're allowed to lol). Keep up the great work. Loving this ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Wasn't till after I was done testing that I got several notifications from the Essentials app that there was an update available, lol. I guess that's handy, to a point...

Keep in mind, the link in the OP will always have the latest available build, and after this Sunday, I'll add an "Older Versions" folder in the same directory. I'll also post updates here, linking to the same
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
I took your advice from earlier to try latest lineage for fix but there still is no option for Enhance LTE in settings and VoLTE Provisioning is disabled and greyed out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AngryDinosaur:
So I did initial setup and it's asking me for pin I haven't setup yet. Asking me to re enter pin, any idea? I don't think previous pin are synced with gmail?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dnsh89:
Download a root explorer, in the root folder open data>system and delete lockscreen.db and restart..!!

Edit-

Or you can do it in TWRP recovery>advanced> file manager..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
If anyone needs the boot.img for this rom with twrp installed (3.2.1), post a reply and i'll upload it. This is incase anyone screws up kernel installation and does not want to reflash the entire rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
This will be my first ROM on the Pixel XL in a long time. I already have my bootloader unlocked, but I'm not really sure about the new TWRP tools that have been released recently. Do I have to boot into and then install TWRP or can I just install it first, as with my Nexus? I ask because I don't see a "bootable mod" version of 3.2.x on TWRP's website. I knew my way around my nexus well enough that if I wasn't sure about some instructions I could figure it out myself, but I'm still pretty unfamiliar with the Pixel and its weird needs.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
You should read This Guide to get a feel for what to do.

After you get TWRP installed, you can flash one of the available ROMs. Keep in mind, for this one or LOS 15.1, you need TWRP version

3.2.0

installed, and don't have a password/PIN/pattern set.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] m0bstr:
can you post the boot.img for twrp 3.2.1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
Thanks a ton, I'll look at that now.

I see people on this thread talking about using 3.2.1, is that not correct?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
You can use 3.2.1 as a recovery, you just can't flash ROMs with it, for that you need 3.2.0. Since 3.2.0 can't decrypt data, you can only set your device to unlock with "swipe" (or "none"), as password, PIN and pattern all encrypt the data, to boot into TWRP.

AFTER you flash a custom ROM, you can change your unlock method (set a PIN or whatever), but you'll need to remove it if you want to boot into TWRP again.

Regards,

Nepo

PS, yes, it's a real PITA!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
Wow. Thanks for filling me in, I never would have guessed any of that.

Since there's no 3.2.0 bootable image, should I boot into something else (such as 3.2.1) and then run the 3.2.0 installer before I do anything else?

EDIT:

Nevermind, that's what I did and it seems to have not broken anything. I'll let you know if I have issues flashing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boostedduece:
I am having an issue with my pixel xl where it will not detect my sim card, I have tried pixel dust as well and still no sim, benzorom worked, but I want to run this ROM.

Clean stock image install, then wipe and install ROM, then reboot recovery, install gapps and vendor, boots fine, but no sim card detected.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Read the OP, this ROM is still on January so flash that, a update seems like it's coming tomorrow, so it might be worth waiting for that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] anderson79:
ok I understand, what happens to install the rom, flashee twrp 3.2.0.0 reboot in twrp flashee the gapps then restart and I did not go over the logo of google was constantly restarted so I do not know what it may be need to tell me what I'm doing wrong
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Again, read the OP instructions. Flash stock January factory image, boot TWRP, wipe what it says, and go from there following the instructions in the OP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] anderson79:
that's what happened, I did not flash the factory image, that's why I did not start the ROM, I had to have done it, I followed all the steps of the first link,what vendor is recommended because it came from benzo
