Anyones of you guys are using a custom kernel instead of the los one ? If yes which ones? Is there battery life improvements ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] The Lepricon:
Any idea why I cannot mount my /system rw?

I'm trying to block ads with Adaway, but it says it cannot edit host file. I tried mounting /system rw but it says I do not have root or it is incompatible.

I enabled root in Developer Options, and Root Explorer does allow me to view the root files.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kiefferbp:
I had the same issue. I ended up just using Magisk for root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
That's a long standing bug in adaway with a/b devices. it's attempting to gain root to the system partition in /system, but on a/b devices like pixels, the system partition is mounted at rootfs /.

You can manually mount / rw with terminal or adb command, or even with Root Explorer app, and then use adaway and see that it then works.

More details here: https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/system-as-root
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] The Lepricon:
Thank you my friend! I didn't realize that I could mount as rw with Root Explorer. I did that and it worked just fine.

I have another problem now.

I don't want to install gapps cause I don't like Google Play Services, but I NEED Google maps. I have used other custom ROMs, such as Lineage 15, and was able to install Google Maps and it worked without Play Services. But, on this ROM it won't work. Maps just closes as soon as I open it. Any ideas?

Or, could I install gapps on slot a but not slot b? Or does it not work like that? I'm still having trouble understanding these dual slot phones.....

Have some Problems with installing Fakestore. Cant open it and have Safetynet Problems. Can anyone help me?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] The Lepricon:
Sir, you are amazing. That worked, mostly.....

So, now Google Maps at least runs, and that is what counts. I mainly need it for finding restaurants and such like when traveling . But, it is not getting my location very well. I installed the GmsCore app, and did the Self Test and it says that the UnifiedNlp is not working very well. May have something to do with spoofing? Any ideas? Or is this off topic?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] espionage724:
With microG, I add their repo to F-Droid, and then use the Deja Vu location service (although apparently the default Mozilla location service works fine too). I believe microG only reports UnifiedNlp working if you have a GPS signal (doesn't work if I'm in my house, but passes fine if I'm outside and start Pokemon GO).

Make sure you have Location enabled too; if I recall correctly, microG won't give any clear indicator Location is disabled and will always just fail getting a location with UnifiedNlp.

"Father, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do"

lol. ok, but seriously. you guys need to take that microg discussion elsewhere please.

microg is an ugly hack that makes roms insecure, and is strongly frowned upon by android devs.

Just updated and I'm on fi, followed the steps and I've got no cell service. Any suggestions on getting this online again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Smyc151:
Did you use the Gapps for fi?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] octavioromo:
Yeah i did use the latest fi gapps. Got it to work by flashing the 12/20 rom. the 12/21 didnt work with fi.

Edit:Looks like magisk 18 breaks cell network on fi.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] The Lepricon:
I didn't know that. Thanks.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nasedase:
Any way to get the pixel launcher to be like stock pixel's with the search at the bottom? I love lineage but admittedly got really used to the pixel 3 features that were ported over, including the new font and sound. I tried installing Pix3lify from magisk but that resulted in failed boots each time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WishMi:
Just checked this module out and found this info: "Pixel, Nexus, and OxygenOS devices are not compatible and were leading to bootloops."

So maybe not the best for your device.

And did you ever try "rootless pixel laughter"?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nasedase:
I've yet to try it but will give it a shot. I may just go back to stock until lineage 16 for pixel is further in development.

New builds...

Google just released the january update a couple days ago and we got all the changes merged into lineage source code. :good:

marlin rom = lineage-16.0-20190109-UNOFFICIAL-marlin.zip

marlin img's = https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288373

sailfish rom = lineage-16.0-20190109-UNOFFICIAL-sailfish.zip

sailfish img's = https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288374

The radio and bootloader img's in google's january update are the same as last month's, so no need to flash them if you already have them.

My roms come with the vendor img so no need to worry about flashing that.

Are you not seeing the Fi App and getting a no sim message?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] octavioromo:
Hey there! I do have the app l, but as soon as it loads up it says emergency calls only. Tried it a couple times, same deal. Kinda don't want to wipe everything.

Anyone one else ok with FI? Also FI with Magisk? I currently don't have Magisk but would like to use it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] General_Tso:
I have gotten that message recently, but not exclusively to the most recent build. I'm going to probably go back to the previous build. Never tried Magisk, sorry! :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] juggalofr33k:
I did a forced backup in settings/Google/backup to my Drive of the last build as I wanted to do a system wipe and a fresh install of the newest build... Backup finished, I rebooted to recovery, did the wipe and fresh install of the ROM, twrp, and MTGs... But when it booted back up and gave me the option to restore, there was no pixel backup available...just a backup of my other phone, a LS992(Sprint LG G5). I was a little disappointed, but I got over it and went on with a completely fresh install....it loaded into Android and there was NO Gapps at all. Installed all of them from the strore and tried to do another backup this morning and the Backup Now button is grayed out, and all the active backups say waiting to backup and won't go.

[MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION], did I do something wrong? I followed the directions to the letter... especially when going from A to B and all that... Is there something I can do?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
Did you install Gapps after the clean flash? I went from this to Pixel Dust and did a backup in LOS before I switched ROMs and I was able to restore with no issues at all. Did you select backup in settings, then wait for the progress bar to fill? Did you make sure to sign in on the same account you backed up too? Another thing you can check, is sign in on the account you backed up to and go to Google drive, then check the backup location and see if there's anything saved.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] juggalofr33k:
Yes to all your questions. And there WAS a backup of my pixel in my drive, but I deleted it to make a fresh back as well...and that's my problem. I can't make a backup to my drive with the built in backup. Battery at 100%, plugged in, connected to WiFi.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YTSec:
I've had that same issue before, I tried again like a hour later and after probably a few reboots and it worked though. Unfortunately I don't know any way to bypass that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blu.italia:
For me the newest update for january doesn't work. I get a bootloop =(

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rallyemax:
I had no service with Fi after dirty flashing, so I tried a full wipe and clean install (after backing up), with the same result. It looks like the mobile radio is not being detected at all -- no missing SIM message/notification even, just a complete lack of a signal indicator and a force close when anything pertaining to mobile network options is opened (mobile network settings, *#*#4636#*#*, etc).

Going back to 12/20/18 for the time being. Have to do a clean install because I borked the backup procedure in TWRP...apparently backing up System rather than System Image breaks something upon restoring (symptom: restore seems to work, but upon reboot, it loops back to TWRP just after the LineageOS animation begins) (possible cause: dm-verity not passing?), and I haven't been able to restore the Data partition from the backup to a clean-flashed phone. If anyone knows of a way to restore the backup, please let me know.

For others, just know that it appears that if you backup the System Image and Vendor Image, there isn't a problem restoring, whereas if you back up System and Vendor (I'm guessing just tarballs of those partitions), you may run into issues restoring.

Has anyone been able to download the latest Google Phone on this ROM, and still have Visual Voicemail working? As soon as I set the new Phone app to be the default, I no longer can see my Visual Voicemail tab, or its availability in the settings. The Stock Phone app, however, still shows it when it is the default app. I am a Verizon user. I was also hoping to see the new Call Screening feature show up, but it is not also. I have tried disabling the stock phone app, as well as uninstalling it for the current user (0), but no change. I also am not seeing the bubble when I exit to the home screen while on a call. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phishfi:
I'm in the same boat. Even with the pix3lify Magisk module, I don't have either the visual voicemail or the call screening feature (even following the instructions listed in the module's thread). No clue how to fix.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phishfi:
Do you make any modifications to the source before building or is your ROM exactly the same as building our own using LOS source?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rallyemax:
I don't have call screening on my Pixel either. I even tried messing with the shared_prefs/dialer_phenotype_flags.xml file on both 15.1 and 16 to get it to show up, and still no joy. What's interesting is that since early January, the server-pushed dialer_phenotype_flags.xml file has the appropriate flags set to "true," so perhaps there is something about LoS or LoS 16 or the unofficial build that is preventing it from being enabled.

Can one of you take a look at /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs/dialer_phenotype_flags.xml and see if any flags containing "speakeasy" or "SpeakEasy" are set to "true"? (Speakeasy is the internal name for call screening.)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Namelesswonder:
Open up settings and make sure you give permissions to the app, along with the special permissions too, for whatever reason the app doesn't request them and just assumes it'll be given all special permissions like on stock. However, that's what I did for version 26, Google Phone 27 ended up killing VVM for me for whatever reason. It stopped working with the 27 betas starting back in October and was never fixed even up to release last week, so I can only assume it was either oversight from Google or they're putting VVM in the app down. You can try rolling back to 26 on APKMirror if you really need it, but one thing I found out is the entire hacky install-old-version-setup-upgrade for Google Voice to get VVM in the app actually only grabs voicemails once, and doesn't sync them as I found out I had several voicemails this month that I never got notified of.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Stealth111:
Can you elaborate on what specific permissions and special permissions need to be set, please? I have enabled all the ones that I can find and I still don't get anything related to Call Screening.

whats the best way to replace the phone, camera and message apps with stock pixel ones. the ones in the gapps from OP seems older
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] juggalofr33k:
they update (if needed) after you get the rom up and running.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Stealth111:
That is not accurate. The gapps from the OP are actually a custom built MindTheGapps package. The phone, camera, messaging and other stock apps in this ROM will not update from the Play Store. If you download and install the newest Google Phone app, for example, then THAT app will get future updates, but not the stock one. At that point you then will have (2) phone apps on your phone and will have to either disable or set defaults for the newer version of the app (same for messaging and such). I am in the same boat as revdirty, I would love to have an easy way to do an inline REPLACE of some of the stock apps instead of just adding additional ones. Some of the stock apps can not even be easily disabled, while others can. Some are easy enough to remove via ADB, while others pose a problem. I know that using certain packages from the official gapps from https://opengapps.org/ will give you the option of replacing some stock apps during install, but your mileage may vary at this point as some has reported various levels of success with the opengapps packages on this ROM.

I have been chasing getting Call Screening working and Visual Voicemail with the newer versions of the Google Phone app, but have not had any luck, while others have. When I install the newer Phone app, I don't get all the options, but the built in older app still has full functionality (VVM still works on it, but it is lacking call screening, advance spam filtering and dark mode which is in the newer versions). I spoke to one member that said his did not work either when he tried to add in the newer Phone app after he had gotten everything up and running, but he was able to have success by reinstalling the ROM, using one of the bigger opengapps packages that did replace the stock apps. He stated that after setup and getting it up and running, the options in the phone app were functional for him, and he is also able to get update and retain functionality. I have not had a chance to back my install up and verify this, but I have a feeling that is coming for me soon...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] agentsmith988:
Could you ask that member which OpenGapps they used and if they used a config file? I'm trying this out right now and trying to find the right combination to get everything to boot properly. Flashing the stock OpenGapps returns an error 70 because the file system is too small.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LeMoise:
Is there a reason why MindTheGapps is the package we are supposed to use as opposed to ShaggApps? Genuine question as I'm not sure if there is a major difference between them or if the ROM requires one over the other due to reasons I don't understand.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] The Lich:
Am I the only one with no call audio? Not even with Speaker mode.

These builds are fantastic, but I recently noticed my phone no longer operates as a *phone*.

Anyone know what the culprit might be?

I may try re-flashing this weekend, though would prefer to avoid such a heavy-handed approach if possible.

Seems to have simply been OP's preference, though MindTheGapps is reputed for being lightweight compared to OpenGapps or ShagGapps. The latter just adds some more Pixel-specific apps.

You should be able to use any kind you like, as long as it's compatible with Android Pie.
