I had the same issue. Ended up toggling temperature to F and rebooted. Working fine now

I am also noticing that the keyboard is rather slow to open most times. Not sure if that's just on my end or over all. Using Gboard. Everything else seems to be snappy and working just fine!

*Edit*. Looks like hotspot is broken as well. Attempts to turn on and never actually turns on. Can anyone else confirm? I'm on AT&T if that matters

I searched and saw some of the same from October but never appeared to be any resolution.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Hotspot works fine here... Also keyboard is snappy at my end, using same - gboard.

Just ROM and of course twrp.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Ok. I'll do another clean install and see if it resolves itself. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkoj2007:
how to get rid of the annoying message about issues of the font I use? clean flash here...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
What issues of font?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SageWilliams:
Im having the same issue. Worked on other ROMS and stock by defualt. Not sure why its not working now :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blueyes:
Got it using an apkmirror apk, but it doesn't complain installing the phone app straight from the play store. Not worth the time investigating. Although screen calling doesn't show up unless I roll back off beta version. My daughter has the 2xl stock vzw and has screen calling
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I find it is hit and miss on custom roms. It's not that it doesn't work, it is is simply not shown on my phone dialer (i'm part of the google beta program).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blueyes:
Solid builds, really appreciate the work. I know it can be tedious. It runs well and haven't had any real issues.

FYI if anyone has wondered, it is easy to decrypt. Once decrypted you simply flash a modified fstab after new installations to prevent being blind sided. Can't really say I notice a performance difference, I just don't like being forced into anything...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Yeah, another clean flash and followed instructions in the OP. WiFi hotspot doesn't work. Just constantly tries to enable until reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Get the log, it seems this is happening only with you.

Can anyone else check this? It works fine for me; so I'm unable to understand why it isn't working for you.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blooddrunked:
Have anyone a fix for the lost root over night issue? I have it. Sometimes one day, sometimed two or three.

A reboot fix it..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Horoscope:
yes this has been common and something got to do with magisk hide, this is not rom related.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blooddrunked:
But i havnt got any app hided with magisk hide..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Nothing can be done from ROM side; you should report this to Magisk thread (in fact it is already reported and we should wait for it to get fixed).

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shortyboy:
I can confirm Hotspot not working also. Latest vendor image and pixel dust rom, with sultan kernel. S-off and bootloader unlocked. A work around, tether enable module for magisk.

I experienced this as well and I noticed that the Pixel Dust Settings - Recents app was set to Stock - *Oreo* after the last update, and when I switched it back to Pie the Settings - System - Gestures - Swipe up on home button option was back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] almahix:
It has nothing to do with hide. It is annoying as hell. I'm running stock now and Magisk is behaving itself. It is not just Pixel Dust either. I had the same problem with Nitrogen. I cannot speak for other custom ROMs. I hope it gets corrected but it has been this way for a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blueyes:
Wasn't able to toggle hotspot, added "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to build. prop, rebooted and it's working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Cuzmanbro:
Actually I don't know why but with latest pixel dust my root stays, unlike December pixel dust which I kept loosing root at least once per day. Using elementalX and magisk 18.0

exactly same situation here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Wilazn:
haven't had this problem yet on mine and I've been using Pixel Dust since November.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] almahix:
Glad to hear this. Maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Update:Success!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Javi22:
Hmm for me Weather still not working. I uninstalled google app beta and updated the stable app

But not showing neither weather in widget or lockscreen

Tried changing to Farenheit , rebooting, clearing cache...

I know not rom related, but maybe you have ideas

Btw I thought the rom was stock based, but now I saw it's not. Then dirty flash from stock should not be so recommended isn't it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I would not dirty flash from stock. My lockscreen weather was not working initially as well. I tried everything. Then when I went home after work, it appeared and has been working fine since that time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmexec:
I did a clean install of Pixel Dust (after the ROM was updated with Jan security patches), ElemantalX and Magisk 18.0. I have so far experienced random loss of Magisk install on only 1 occasion so far. In Magisk Manager it indicated that "Magisk is not installed". I reboot to recovery and flash the Magisk 18.0 zip and all was back to normal after the reboot.

Prior to installing PD, I was using stock with the same kernel and Magisk setup and never had the "Magisk not installed..." issue at all.

Oops! Duplicate post

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Location needs to enabled for weather to work. Check if it's enabled or you have something that's interfering the location service.

What do you mean by "ROM is not stock based"?

First lesson to avoid problems - Never dirty flash different roms over one another.

One more thing - to all users - PLEASE STOP DISCUSSING MAGISK DISAPPEARING ISSUE HERE. IF YOU REALLY CAN'T STOP YOURSELF, HEAD OVER TO MAGISK THREAD...

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
I'll give this a try here in a sec and disable the magisk module. Give me a few and I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

Yep! That did the trick. OP maybe add this line to the build.prop so it will work for every carrier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Javi22:
Yes, I had location on all the time. However, after 3 days not working, suddenly started to work :0

(Maybe it's not rom related, but server side issue)

About not stock based I mean is a custom rom, aosp based. At first I thought it was based on google factory rom so I made dirty flash, but I know it's not a good option
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
So i flashed the rom and its Amazing but I can't get substratum themes to work without reboot so i guess it still doesn't have oms?

Also I tried magisk v17 but still no luck

Also i don't have build and enbale option only build and update

Any fix? [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Napa7m:
I Think I found a couple bugs.

First is that the notification pull down gets triggered randomly when simply swiping between home screens.

Side note, I can also pull down anywhere on the screen and the notification pull down gets activated. I don't remember if this normal...

Possibly related, the 'QS right side pulldown' setting keeps getting set back to ON in the dust menu - even when the feature is actually disabled.

Second is when clock/date is centered, it randomly duplicates itself and appears off to the left (original location) at the same time. Can't reproduce this reliably.

But it has happened a few times to me already when opening/closing Pandora specifically.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] numerouknow:
I've always had the clock centered but this issue never happened to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] catharsis724:
Also having this issue. I have center clock. Left clock getting duplicated every time there is a new heads-up notification.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Horoscope:
yes clock issue duplicating randomly is present, never had this issue in Dec build
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Incredible_Culp:

Hey guys, for those who have flashed this, can you confirm or deny the feature of Immersive mode/Expanded desktop included in this ROM? I didnt see it in the feature list...

After booting into the rom (first time), reboot to recovery, flash kernel, and if you want magisk and reboot. I've had excellent battery life and performance with flash kernel.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ProAm500:
Kind of weird question, but how do I disable the right-side "Full" pull down of the notification shade? The left side has the normal behavior but the right-side pulls the shade all the way down to show the all the quick tiles. I looked in every setting but dont see where to change that behavior.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
well i changed it to 3g now how can i go back to 4g?

also i just flashed the rom and i love it

few req - please add download speed in status bar , i am not talking about the network indicators .

i enabled android P animations but it seems like they are not the complete set?

can you change the stock launcher with the one that aquari os has or can i do that by myself , if yes how?

the lockscreen text position is below the time in stock and custom roms but in this it is above and if you change the font then they overlap

can you please look into these?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Do you know how substratum works? See attached screenshots with pitch black substratum theme.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I might not have expressed myself clearly

But to answer the question yes i know how it works

I am saying is i don't have the build and enbale option in substratum and hence I need to use build and update option and therefore need to make a reboot so that's overlays show up

I installed nitrogen rom with same substratum and magisk version i used on pixel dust and there i had the build and enbale option without needing to reboot

Hope it is clear now and maybe now you can help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Now it is clear what you are looking for :)

In the last released version, that is not implemented; but it is in progress and it should be in in the next version. See the changes here :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Thanks for the reply man

I have never used your roms i ran mostly stock due to xposed and never been in your thread so i dont know about the feature request :p

Here are some

1. Expand all notifications

2. Fingerprint authentication vibration off switch on successful attempt

3. Lockscreen clock mods

4. Volte logo toggle in status bar? If it's there i couldn't find it

5. One click location tile in quick settings? I have to tap it 3 times to turn it off which wasn't the behaviour on Oreo roms

6. Volume button control ring volume rather than media

Also I would like to report a glitch - i am running stock navbars not fling or smartbar and i use compact style and the smart rotation button appears between recent and home button but if i press the empty space on the side of the recent button it would switch the rotation like it should, so it seems like the button is there but it's just ui glitch, here is a screenshot so that you can see [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Few more feature requests

1. Lockscreen double tap to sleep

2. Quick pin unlock

Another glitch - using the default launcher, i have enabled the swipe down gesture for notification and when i swipe to go to Google feed the notification bar also comes down [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DrUnknownEMC:
Mind I ask why?

It seem like only Los doesn't include gapps but rest of custom pie rom do.

This purely because this pixel device or that some blobs/function won't work without gapps?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Active edge doesn't work on any of the custom ROMs yet. If you want to go back to stock the easiest way is to flash the stock OTA with TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] EXV:
Just the OTA? Or can I flash the factory images?

And thank you I don't use Active Edge anyhow so that's not a problem. Appreciate the response!

Not sure if it makes a difference. If there's a change in bootloader its probably best to update with fastboot. I've been doing it this way for a few months with no problems yet. Just make sure both slots have the same vendor when updating a ROM

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]

Hi. Thanks for the great ROM, I really like that balance between over custom ROMs and stock one.

But while I've flashed the ROM I've got quite annonying issue. My main ROM was stock one and located on partition B. So I decided to flash pixeldust to another partition.

I've went to twrp, changed active slot to A and wiped system, data, cache. Then I've flashed pixeldust ROM and twrp. Reboot - BAM! and my partition A is corrupt after flashing, and non bootable, twrp dosent work as well.

Via fastboot I've changed active partition and bam there is the pixel dust ROM, but why? If I was flashing it to A partition.

So what I'm doing wrong? Or your ROM has the same structure(update engine) as the stock and flashing in both partitions in same time?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Sorry mate, I'm a noob when it comes to the partition structure. I never tried to understand it.

Maybe someone else can pitch in and answer your query. From the ROM side, it is same as stock one.

Niitn
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
You need to be on A slot it you want to flash it to slot B

Basically rom flashes to the inactive slot

Hope it helps
