I was on April Stock build, and never flashed a ROM since Oreo's first release.

I finally decided to make the switch to this ROM yesterday, but I've had nothing but problems. Of course I did wipe on TWRP latest of System, Data, and Cache/Dalvik. Followed instructions, and yet... I get a bunch of FC's, when I scan my fingerprint to unlock it takes a long time to turn the screen on it's faster to just hold the power button sometimes and restart it... It seems to not like the kernel being tweaked on EX Kernel Manager... get's very hot, last night the phone was very hot while connected to my powerbank and it froze while I slept, had I not waken up a few minutes earlier (as I always do) to check, I would've missed the alarm.

I was just browsing Instagram and the phone completely locked up on me, couldn't press power to turn screen off, couldn't press home, I had to just force reboot it.

If I leave my screen off for too long it happens worse (I guess it's a doze thing? I have Greenify and Greenify4Magisk installed if it matters) and even the time desyncs (I have auto time off)

Dunno if any of these are caused by substratum (especially with all the updates the last 24 hours) + swift dark theme updates, so I'll try to run the phone for 24 hours with everything theme related off. The themes themselves work for what it's worth.

On the sections that the phone DOES work, however, it is very smooth. I love all the customizations I can do to it. I really hope I can find a way to fix all these problems.

I'll wipe again and flash ROM again with the march version of razorloves gapps and see and try again if the next 24 hours are equally as hectic.

--EDIT--

I flashed March version of gapps, a lot of google-related apps still FC but uninstalling and reinstalling from playstore fixes it.

For some reason I get the old "process.android.media" FC, dunno what that's about. And some others here and there. Though I've no log :p

Will report later on my next 24 hours experience.

Here's my setup

--EDIT2--

My first review was based on stock kernel, and also NSFW kernel. But after switching to exNoShadez, everything seems to be working amazing except for the rare FC's that don't seem to ruin any more experiences for what I use my phone for :)

[MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] Thanks for the update.

I've been experiencing an issue whereby the battery percentage shown on the AOD is sometimes displayed in red. Not sure if that is some kind of feature?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] balkerman:
WHat steps did you take to get exNoShadez and boot into Firehound? i've tried instructions on exNoShadez thread but can't boot...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] グリッチ:
Well, first I did a clean install.

ROM (April) & gApps (March)

Reboot into system and setup

Boot into TWRP (via fastboot img)

Install Magisk > Reboot system

Make sure magisk was working with modules etc.

Boot into TWRP (via fastboot img)

Flash Kernel > Reboot System

I didn't try with TWRP zip installed and kernel dev also doesn't support that option, so idk.

[MENTION=7810360]nine7nine[/MENTION] mentions many times that Magisk must be installed (I just make sure to boot once and verify it works) prior to installing the kernel. And it booted, maybe I was just lucky :)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Do you need to charge? I've never noticed this, but I don't use AOD or let my battery get below 20%
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ipeedalil:
im having an issue getting past the initial set up. the entire process seems to go through with out a hitch but as soon as i try to go through the google setup it hangs on checking for updates and/or downloading data transfer tool. any suggestions?

wow just realized my device info is waaaayyyyy out of date

Kill App & Service List

Hello from Germany

First of all, great Rom.

I have two questions:

The settings for the Navbar I have found, but I can not get it, that the Kill Back Button is running. Even with Gravitybox it does not work.

I have 4 apps that can not be quit directly. Currently I finish the apps with a widget via Tasker.

But that's awkward.

does that work for you?

Are there maybe other settings? Other kernel?

I've frozen some services / apps via Titanium Backup.

Is there a list in which all the services are described so that I know exactly what is going on there?

Of course I can find everything together via Goolge, but maybe there is a list ...

Thanks for information

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Long press back kill working?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] V-Ripper:
Kill Back Button

I found it...

change Navigation Mode to Stock

Settings / Ashes / Navigation bar / Navigation Bar / Navigation Mode

than use GravityBox
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
I apologize, but what is GravityBox?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Also, when I attempt to reboot recovery in the other slot before I flash, the phone just Keeps rebooting, ram dump, reboot shutting off fast at the Google screen. It eventually boots back into the system on the original slot. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Try flashing the TWRP 3.2.1-2 install script again, see if that solves it
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] V-Ripper:
Xposed Framework Module

maybe this works too:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-hold-to-kill-t3039412
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Nope, doing the same thing. I even tried to clean wipe and flash to both slots, no dice. All it will do now is boot into recovery. When I try to flash, it constantly reboots, ramdump, reboot to end in recovery.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Longshot, but your byline says Pixel XL, you flashing the right build? This thread is for Sailfish, or original Pixel (non XL)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
I have both pixel devices. Little pixel is the one that's borked. Og xl is my main phone and the one I'm using to communicate with you people smarter than me lol.

I don't know what the issue is. I even tried going back to the previous build to no avail. I have the correct rom for sailfish.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
OK, just making sure, lol. My wife has Sailfish and I have Marlin, but she won't let me "play" with her phone, lol, so it's still running stock. But my Sailfish testers tell me the ROM is good to go.

You could try flashing the April factory images, from Google, then starting over from that, doing a clean install as listed in the OP
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Does it matter which slot I flash to? I'm on slot B and every time I try to switch to A it constantly reboots until booting itself back to recovery.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] siheals:
You me to flash in the right slot. Boot into slot A install ROM reboot to recovery install gapps.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
If you're doing a clean install, no, it doesn't matter. Use fastboot to flash the April factory images from Google, do a quick setup of your phone by skipping everything, until you get to the home screen. Then you can fastboot boot TWRP 3.2.1-2 and install it with the installer script, then reboot recovery.

After you've rebooted TWRP, do a factory reset, in TWRP, then flash the ROM, flash the TWRP 3.2.1-2 install script (again, as every time you flash a ROM, dirty or clean, TWRP gets overwritten and needs to be reinstalled), then reboot recovery and flash the GApps zip. You should be able to set the phone up after that.

IF you want root, you can flash the Magisk 16.0 zip after you have setup the device
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Ok I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the help
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] haninatoon:
During installation is there any switch between slot A & B

As i have error using google play services
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Yes, you flash the ROM zip, then flash the TWRP 3.2.1-2 install zip and reboot recovery. When you do the reboot to recovery, it switches slots, you then install GApps

With an A/B device, when you flash a ROM, it installs to the opposite slot to which you are currently booted. If you're in Slot A, the ROM will install to Slot B, or vice-versa. GApps needs to be installed (flashed) on the same slot the the ROM is installed
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Hmm... I've been trying to use the vanced YouTube module and it seems like it won't work. Is that why? I think mine is slot a so I should flash it to slot b? When I flashed gapps I didn't even notice any of them.

Long press back kill is still not working btw. Sucks not having it
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Also, I used to be able to FF or rewind songs by holding seek forward or seek backwards when the phone is sleeping hooked to Bluetooth from a headset or something. Can no longer do it with 4.5. Something borked or is this how Oreo?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
AGAIN, is native tethering NOT working or something? USB tethering and wifi isn't working. I've been on pure Nexus forever and never had these issues so excuse me if I'm late.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
Works fine for me...PS had to fresh install 4.5.. anytime I dirty flash I get reboots and gapps force close no matter what I do ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Mine connects, but no internet to the device connected. Any reason why that could be?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
Are you using any ad blockers like adaway or what have you? If my ad blocker is running and I connect to WiFi it will say I'm connected with no internet..I just stop ad service for a min,connect then reenable adblock
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Just tried that. I disabled adaway, rebooted, and it connects, but no internet. Is there something that I'm missing? I've tried everything. The phone was working just fine on pure Nexus 7.1.2 with no issues. I've been away for a very long time so maybe I'm missing something.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
Are you using a non-stock DNS? Ie. Cloudfair or google?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Also check any firewalls you have
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
I've been gone so long man I don't even know what those are. All I did was update from pure Nexus AFTER flash-all current stock image. Can you tell me how to check and see if my dns is custom? Please forgive my ignorance.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
If u didn't put a DNS then you are stock DNS..all I can think is disable firewalls and ad blockers if you using a VPN disable it temporary .. clear caches/dalvik in recovery. Are you using a custom kernel? I assume your not.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Man I haven't used a custom kernel since my HTC days lol. Let me go clear cache, etc. I don't know anything about any firewalls. How can I check?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Ok I clean installed the rom and tethering STILL isnt working. I don't know WHAT the issue is here.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Sorry for constant msgs, but I flashed stock oreo and it's working just fine. Idk what happened rom wise
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
Yeah very weird ...my wifi tether seems to be working now prob

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Usb tether works when usb is connected ..I use linux so I don't really need drivers ...if your on Windows maybe update your driver packages?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
There is a magisk module that enables tethering, try it and see if it works
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Booted into twrp, flashed ROM and twrp installer, but it says no OS installed :confused:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arju:
Just continue. That happens very often with TWRP but the rom should have flashed itself.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
But after that I booted into flashed twrp recovery and tried to install stock gapps which failed, after that I tried to start anyway but it kept rebooting. Any thoughts ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arju:
Did you use the Gapps recommended from the first post?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
No, I downloaded it from open gapps. The stock one
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Always use the gapps listed in the op, but I think your problem is for some reason it didn't switch slots when you rebooted. What was the gapps error message?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Error 70
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Oh you used the stock one... That's your problem. The system partition is not big enough. Use the gapps in the op and you'll be good. Here is the link https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657594387
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Oh, great. Is Google cam in that package ? That's the only reason I used stock before.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
It is not, but you can just download it from the play store
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Much appreciated, will flash soon :angel:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
You can find the google camera here.It is the exact same as the one from the play store, the play store link isn't working.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Great ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arju:
Yeah opengapps doesn't play well, that's why recommended Gapps is the way to go. do as Shagbag did and you'll be fine. :)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Gautham_Chandran:
Sure.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MatthewRobinson:
Ok guys so last I was here I couldn't get tether to work right? I flashed stock and it's fine. To test to see if it's a rom issue here, I flashed pixeldust and tether was borked still. I flashed the module, nothing. Wiped whole phone and went stock... Tether is fine.

What the hell is going on here?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chillybean:
Your best bet is to drop a logcat for the devel to check through and find any bug.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] computercarl:
Just came from Lineage. A few things that may help others...

You do not need to deleted vendor overlay.

OpenGapps nano works, WITH THE EXCEPTION it breaks the camera. I had an older build of Google Camera that works great for me, so I'm keeping with OpenGapps.

Gonna give this one a go. Thanks.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ezrem:
I have had nothing but smooth sailing starting with a clean install of 4.5. I just installed 4.6 per your instructions and everything seems to be working great. Thanks for all the work you've put in!

Can I ask why your instructions have us flashing the same slot every time? When I was running Pure Nexus I flashed updates to the opposite slot each update, like Google does with the stock ROMs. That way if something went wrong I still had a working slot to fail back to.

Also, is there any way to set the Bluetooth audio codec per device? I have a set of headphones that work with aptX, but my car does not. Having to switch back and forth can be problematic at times.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Flashing this way is how I've done it for months and I'm a creature of habit, lol. You can likely do it the way you did while on PN without any issues.

For your Bluetooth issue, I'll have to look into it and do some research when I find the time...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] stead2120:
I'm on vanilla Image right now, when you say March Vendor, do you mean I need to have the Google Pixel Factory Image Installed, then do a Factory Reset, then boot into TWRP and install the ROM?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Not March, lol, May...

You should be able to just factory reset, flash ROM, flash TWRP install script, reboot recovery, flash May vendor image, followed by GApps. If you want root, setup your device first. After initial setup, you can go back to TWRP and flash Magisk for root (if you don't want/need root, skip the last part)

how much SOT in different scenario?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrutheeyes:
How to get onto TWRP to begin with? And what do I do with the vendor file? I really need a nooby explanation :(
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NepoRood:
Read This

It's in Pixel XL forum, but applies to the regular Pixel too. Just use the proper images for your device, ie: don't flash Marlin images on your Sailfish ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrutheeyes:
Ok i will give this a go.

1. EDIT > I still don't get what to do with the vendor file and at what stage. If I am on latest firmware it's ok to leave this?

2. do I need to just temporary boot into recovery or have TWRP actually installed before flashing rom

3. what is the twrp install script? just the regular .zip file?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] preetoap:
Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if I did a clean install of your ROM, but coming from the lastest Android P beta? ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ziauddin_Sameer:
First you need to be on may firmware image . then temporarily boot into twrp with twrp image file and after wiping flash the rom and then twrp zip file. Now boot into twrp . Now flash the vendor image then mount vendor and now from file manager delete overley from vendor folder. then flash gapps and reboot the system. :good: :good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] thrutheeyes:
Having issues flashing this ROM with flashfire, not sure if you can help.

I'm running:

Sailfish - 8.1 stock

Magisk - 16.00 (also tried 14.2)

Flashfire PRO

Trying to flash FireHound 4.6.

I see an error though:

Step 1/2 - error applying update: 26 (Errorcode: Kdownloadmetadatasignaturemismatch)

Or something I just black screen and nothing happens, like my phones dies. Any ideas?

I just now trying the TWRP method and been on the boot animation for at least 10 minutes..
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arju:
Don't ever use flashfire to flash a ROM. It's a recipe to fail.

When you flashed the ROM through twrp, did you boot into it before going back to twrp and flash magisk or did you flash magisk straight after without booting into the ROM in the middle of the process?.. if you didn't boot into ROM in the middle then there's your issue.
