No, not at this time. We tried it, but right now it's breaking a lot of stuff. You need to be rooted with Magisk or pay for Andromeda

Nice find, it'll get fixed. I don't use Omni Jaws, so I never noticed.

Probably not...

Dirty flash went fine. A little bit of back and forth with these stupid A and B slots, but all worked out in the end.

Great update, thank you!

[MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] lock screen torch is a welcome addition, looking forward to flashing this update.

Is there a list of features you're planning on adding? Or a preference for where we make requests? I would love to see omniSwitch as an optional replacement for the default Recents.

EDIT:

Also, what's the best procedure for backup/restore in TWRP, considering the dual slots? Does it backup both slots or just the current one?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mattwheat:
Thank you so much. That explanation was a big help. I've read and read and read through these forums trying to catch up but your the first one to explain it so simply. It's making sense now. And I understand the Magisk flashing after first boot thing. I got that. And flashing twrp after flashing rom I've got that too. But One last question.....

If say I've flashed a rom, booted fine, went back installed Magisk and such, then if I decide later that I want to flash a kernel or Viper or any kind of mood to a rom and said rom is on slot A for instance and I'm in twrp do I need to be on slot "B" to flash so it goes to "A" or will it flash to "A" if I'm on "A"? In other words do mods flash to the corresponding slot that you're on and only ROMs flash to the opposite slot? Am I understanding that correctly?

I know I said one more just one more question, lmao,

So if there are two slots/partitions then can this be utilized to load one slot with one rom and the other with another rom? Almost like multirom? Well I guess it would be exactly like multirom. And if not is there anything stopping us from modifying boot.imgs and these two partitions to use like multirom? If there's not some rule that prevents this for sure I will focus my efforts in that direction.

A
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
I don't see anything wrong with current recents, you can lock them, move the clear all button and change the way they appear on the screen. That being said, I'm not going to push for Omni Switch (I'm not a fan anyway, lol).

For TWRP, I try to keep everything on the same slot. Example: I backup and restore FireHound on Slot A, while I backup and restore other ROMs that I'm testing, working on, or helping out with, on Slot B. So far, I haven't had any issues...

ROMs flash to opposite slot, TWRP flashes to both slots (installer script is designed this way). If I'm not mistaken, Mods, like GApps, Magisk, ARISE, Viper, Custom Kernels, etc, all flash to the current slot.

The "dual boot" scenario, is a bit stretched, and yes, I tried it, lol. The 2 ROMs don't play nice, as they will share the same data partition, and this will cause conflicts. However, if you see my response above, you can have multiple ROMs on your device, just keep up with your slots :good:

Don't let that discourage you though, if you think you can find a method for dual booting, go for it. I'm sure there's a lot of people that would appreciate it.

Regards,

Nepo
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
-shrug- It's just what I'm used to. The two major things I miss with the basic Recents are being able to pin apps, which is slightly faster than hitting home and then finding the icon (I like pinning Music and GPS since I use those while I'm driving and I barely have to look at my phone at access them), and being able to limit the entries to currently-or-recently running apps instead of having a stack of like thirty cards. The third thing is a minor annoyance, but basic Recents almost obscures the current running app in favor of showcasing the last-used-app, whereas OmniSwitch gives them equal space. So it's a lot easier to swipe away the app I'm in with OmniSwitch. Although, in that last case it's just my preference and I could probably get used to doing things a different way. In any case, thanks for the reply. I'll live without it!

So backup and restore uses the current slot, as I would expect? No funny business of using the opposite slot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TBacker:
OT, but Nine reports their next release will fix the Oreo LED issues.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boostedduece:
How did you change the color of the status bar icons? I have looked everywhere, are you using substratum?

BTW, dirty flashed to 4.2 and this ROM is rock solid, thanks for your work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
You can pin apps, just tap the little "lock" icon next to the X, may not be exactly the same, but it keeps them from going away ;)

AFAIK, you can restore to either slot, I haven't thoroughly tested it. I just like to keep things in order, and I'm already in the habit of doing things this way. In fact, I was flashing my 6P the other day, and thought: Crap!! What happened to the TWRP install.zip, lol

Likely, you can just flash it, according to update instructions, without any issues. Be sure and do a backup first, just to be safe.

Yes, I use Substratum theme for that, it's Dark Infusion by [MENTION=4850572]thereal_bigjake[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] middaymoon:
FYI it seems like setting the system theme to be based on the wallpaper (in the drop down menu) doesn't do anything except default to light mode. Setting it to be based on time of day seems to correctly switch to white/black mode (I've only tested it at night). Using the automagic button picks white/black and an accent color as expected.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gogollack:
Great ROM. One piece of feedback:

Could you also add a QS setting to control how many "small tiles" show when the QS preview pane is showing but not fully opened? The default number is 6, which means any number of QS tiles below 6 results in the row of buttons displaying off kilter.

Here is an example of what I mean, using 4 QS column setting (as I prefer to do):

Fantastic rom. fluid and stable.. device didnt get as hot as compared to other roms on first cycle. got around 7:15 SOT with medium to heavy use (wifi).

only hiccup faced was "android.process.media has stopped".. apart from that solid rom.

any fix for the android.process.media fc?

also device tends to heat up while using poctket detection..

also no option to stop camera shutter sound?

2) I'll look into this

3) I think that will be added to the next update
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] samad.ansari:
Thanks for the reply

Since i came from other rom, and didnt wipe internal. im guessing a corrupt media file might be the issue. will wipe clean and report. issue doenst seem to be persistent, only twice or thrice a day. Thanks for the other queries

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
This update seems really smooth, love the AOD being added (so I don't have to extract the APK with a virtual machine every month). I am having that qualcomm.embms app crash, but I did dirty flash over my last version. Any chance we could get some options for the AOD? Mainly a separate brightness control, personally I like it dim as possible.

Having the same issues as other roms with this update (never had it on the last few versions) where entering landscape after a while seems to cause a reboot, I turned the device while watching a YouTube video and got a reboot. I took a "bugreport" via ADB when my phone rebooted, what's the best way to send it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
Those of you getting the FC from EMBMS, wipe the data from your phone app.

[MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] I would like to second the brightness request from [MENTION=7807022]YTSec[/MENTION]. I'm also wondering if you'd be willing to add the reduced minimum brightness into your kernel that a lot of other kernels have.

ROM Update!

Title says it.

This update to yesterdays update fixes the "qualcomm embms has stopped" error, also upgrades to kernel version 3.18.98.

Other than that, it's the same ROM, if you're not bothered with the force close, you can stay on this until the March security update.

Linked in OP or use the direct link Here

Use the same update instructions as in the past.

Happy Flashing,

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Alice Knag:
I just tried flashing with the march vendor image since the build was in march.. but boy did I not read that post detailing that build above. Right now since I'm on that march system image I'm going to try out the lineageos build, I have never tried stock linage so I want to compare.

Anyway, I was on the previous (feb) firehound build for a while, and it worked great until it locked me out to the point where it was faster to wipe than try to figure that out. My pin stopped working. I had quick unlock enabled so that the pin would unlock as soon as it was typed, I think that's what caused it to brick the device, because every time it booted the decryption pin entry would always fail, after two attempts, then usually work. Yesterday morning it died while I was sleeping. When it turned back on, it couldn't ever manage to decrypt.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boostedduece:
Still running this ROM after dirty flashing updates through 4.1 > 4.2 > 4.3, and it is still rock solid, I did have to reinstall my google apps because they were FC. Great ROM overall!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lachiefish:
How long should first boot take? I followed steps to install in the first post to the letter, but my phone refuses to boot, it gets stuck on the fire logo. I flash February stock image before each attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes, I haven't had any issues with it, but you could try deleting the vendor overlay folder.

If you're already on February vendor image, there's no need to re-flash it. Boot into TWRP, go to "Mount" and select "Vendor".

Then, using the file manager, navigate to the vendor folder and delete the one named "overlay".

After that, flash the ROM, then flash TWRP 3.2.0 installer, reboot recovery and flash GApps. Reboot the system at this point and see what you get.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lachiefish:
Thanks so much for the reply! Weird cos I've never had this issue, but messing around with it last night I got it to work by flashing 4.2, then using the update instructions to flash 4.3. Thanks for the rom, so much better than RR!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:

It's a solid ROM, and I like it too (go figure :silly:) New, March update should be out tomorrow sometime...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turkaloo:
I have been trying to get this to work with the March vendor because the instructions display make sure we are on the newest vendor version. Its been trying to load for a few minutes, then reboots back to the recovery screen.

I will try the February factory image and vendor......
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
Try reading the thread, literally the post above yours explains that March hasn't been released.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turkaloo:
That's exactly why I posted what I did. You have to read pages and pages of posts because the first page install instructions say to use the newest vendor and that isn't the case.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
My apologies for the confusion, I'll fix up the OP soon to reflect the exact vendor needed. I'm trying to get a security update done before I take my son the the doctor...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turkaloo:
I'm just glad I was able to get this working. Putting in the extra effort not only was a good learning experience, but turns out to be well worth it running this ROM. Excellent work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jstoik:
Thank you for mentioning the workaround! I was experiencing the same issue yesterday and your trick saved me a lot of headache!

For developer reference, this is how my phone looked before installing any version of Firehound:

New stock 8.1.0 build (OPM1.171019.021, i.e. March)

Flashed February vendor and boot images to both slots

Removed the vendor "overlay" folder from both vendor slots

When I tried 4.3, the phone booted to the flame animation, but it remained indefinitely orange and never transitioned to the set up screens. I tried reinstalling a few times just in case, but it always came out the same. Once I discovered the above quoted post, I re-wiped and tried 4.2, which worked a charm. The subsequent upgrade to 4.3 also worked perfectly.

TL;DR: clean 4.3 install failed; clean 4.2 + dirty upgrade to 4.3 succeeded.

The latest TWRP release (3.2.1-2) fixes the zip flashing issues, so it can be used to install FireHound, gapps, Magisk, whatever. :)
