Alright, I was not sure if dirty flashing the rom would overwrite the images and would need to reflash the imgs and twrp. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_JD:
Hoping someone can help me.

I had to replace my screen (long story, involves a bike and an ex-gf, wife was cool with it all though). When I finally replaced the screen, I tried booting my phone (LOS 15.1), and it was stuck in the "Android is starting..." screen. I though this would be a good excuse to do a full wipe and clean install of LOS 16. Went through the steps listed in the OP (thank you, by the way), and now I'm in the same position. Upon booting the phone and getting ready to set up android, I was stuck in the "Just a sec..." with the swirling blue line. I was able to exit out of there and am now stuck in the, "Pixel is starting..." screen.

I went into settings to see if I could add my google account, thinking that might be what's causing the problem, but when I click on Add account>google account, it just brings me back to the accounts setting page.

I then thought maybe there was a permission issue with Google's apps, so I went in there to grant all permissions - "Android is starting..."

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Prayers that might help?

Did you flash magisk or any other rooting method?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_JD:
Nope, no root method at all.

I even tried installing LOS without Gapps just to see if I could get into Android, but I basically got only a black screen with the gesture bar.

Flash 10/18 stock google pie image via Bootloader screen and flash-all.bat command, restart all over, reinstalling TWRP, then LOS 16, see OP

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Just a question for people using this compared to stock rooted, how is battery life? Pie I found sucks on battery life. I have a pixel, pixel XL and 2 xl. The pixel and xl are rooted as the 2 xl isn't,(Verizon) and all three have no battery life. 9 hrs tops. I squeazed 12 out my xl with a custom kernel. Anyone on this getting decent battery life? I got lineage on my old s5. Oreo looks awesome on that old phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] All-In-One:
You're not the only one, I do think as well that battery life isn't as good as it was even on the beta program. Nonetheless, I still get a 6 hours SOT some days but most of the time it does not even reach 4 hours. Even though, I always come back home with a little bit of battery, like 20 or 25 percent.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
Well I've been on xda now for I think 7 years. I started off really geeky about my battery life, turning off location services , handicapping the Android OS just to get the most amount of SOT I could. But now I just use my phone, I never turn anything off or use any battery optimizations. I take my phone off the charger at 530 am, and I normally get home by 315 pm with about 60 % left give or take. Put it back on the charger at around 930. This is a typical usage scenario.

Location history with Google on, I use Google Assistant with voice unlock, YouTube, Google play music, etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cyberbandit1998:
One thing I noticed last couple builds the battery icon on lockscreen only blacks out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crazykas:
That's impressive!! Can i ask you something. What kernel are you using? and are you using this [MOD] Pixel (XL) Unified Kernel(s) Tuning Script (v2.1) to get this battery? TIA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Phalanx7621:
Right now on stock Pie. Stock kernel. I switch up usually once every other week, I'll go back to different ROMS and try them with different kernel combos but right now I'm back to stock. I do tweak just a few things in the kernel but nothing extreme. I always turn off Zram, always use either Noop or if I'm not on stock Maple scheduler with a read ahead of 1024. If I'm not on stock I usually use Schedutil governor instead of Sched, but other than that I just use the phone normal. I am thinking though that if I used Tasker to set profiles for turning off my GPS when I'm at work and a few other things I could squeeze out a little more battery but I don't really care as long as it gets me through the day. I don't mean to go off topic in this thread , if you wanna continue the conversation we should take it to PM.

[MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] flashed the ROM without any issuse, but gapps are not working. I flashed it accordingly and there is no google account option to add.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MonkeySee:
Can you please mention this on the 1st post of this thread. I know it's not your fault that it's not yet ported, but it's a huge omission, and one of the main reasons I use LOS. I can't have been alone in having been under the impression that it was working, especially as you included the dialogs.

Could someone help a noob with how to make all the phone go into dark? And how to cast screen :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] efan3719:
Are you talking about changing the settings and such to be dark? You can adjust those options under Settings in Display, then Style and change color options there.

As far as casting the screen, depends on what you are casting. Many apps have it built in and have the icon when viewing content. If you want to cast the whole phone screen then you can find the cast option in the quick settings toggle. You may need to edit the quick settings icon layout and drag the cast icon towards the top.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lukazaz:
The cast option won't show any devices

About the dark/black background, how do I set the white app drawer background to black?

Does this have all the lineage add-ons, full screen, traffic monitor, all the little extras of lineage?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] juggalofr33k:
Not everything has been ported yet...this is still a Unofficial Build... a work in progress, as stated in SEVERAL posts in this thread...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Oh I understand. I flashed it anyway. Got tired of Google and having way to much running all the time. Traffic monitor is the only thing not present I found. Stripped the way I like. Excellent work. Has what I need and everything it doesn't I can install. Great platform to customize now. And I didn't mean to ask to sound all noob. Just as what is and isn't available, I read through the posts. Found privacy guard isn't working and a few other things. Again not a problem or complaint. Just wanted to how much it was ported is all. I had an s8 and supposedly they had lineage ported. It was no where to even calling it lineage except a splash screen. This is an operational OS. Thank you for your. Greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] _Melkiy_:
How to update? You can step by step instructions or link.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Update? An app? OS? Recovery? ROM? That is a pretty general question. Just saying. Update lineage, read the OP.

After using this today. All day. Wow. Just wow. I had pie root with stock ROM and kernel. Battery at most would be 11hrs. Screen time killed my battery. Well I got tons of screen time today and still 47%. Nice.

I wrote that first part last night before I looked at this, this morning. Wow. Phenomenal work. My s5 on official lineage 16 gets about the same.. But not that good. Really really awesome work. Only thing I found and I don't even believe it is this ROM but a pie problem with wind down, when it turns off I notice a tint to the screen. So I just restarted it and gone. Thank you again. And anyone reading, follow the directions, every step and you won't have a problem.

Just wondering could we get a modded gapps file with black app drawer?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NatoBoram:
Has anyone managed to install OpenGApps 9 on this ROM? I tried a couple times with different configs, but it seems like this package is fundamentally broken. There's also an issue about it on GitHub.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lukazaz:
You need to install the GAPPS pack on the main post as there is a size issue with the one in the OpenGAPPS site
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
You can use open gapps up to mini - anything bigger and there isn't enough room in the partition

Although I would recommend the op gapps
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NatoBoram:
Yeah, that's the issue I ran into. I also tried to flash the one in the OP but, when I booted, there were no Google Play Store. Moreover, MindTheGApps is way too minimalist for me. I think I'm just going to wait for the issue in OpenGApps to resolve if it's impossible to use at the moment.

I tried every single package size down to Pico, as I said in my post. It also can't be a size problem since it wouldn't flash on Stock either, and stock already contains even more than the OpenGApps Stock package. The size requirement is literally negative. If it's really just a size problem, then I would resize my /system partition, but I doubt it's the case since the Pico package wouldn't flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
I'd suggest that you look into it more. I've flashed this rom with open Pico without an issue. All open gapps packages over mini fail due to size.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lukazaz:
Check how you are flashing it (what order), you are supposed to flash ROM+Recovery then reboot into recovery again and then Flash GAPPS, maybe that is why, the OP gapps do have the store and the rest can just be downloaded from the store instead of flashing thru gapps

I tried this rom on my og pixel (sailfish) no luck...

I was on benzorom 9.0 (dosnt flash radio etc ..) i think its not obligate since i am on Android 9 rom (coming from stock 9.0 then benzorom 9.0)

Like i said, battery life seemed poor for me compared to other pie rom, even the rom seemed buggy somtimes.. when i read other posts from user (good battery, good rom etc..) its not like me..

Is there a différence between pixel and pixel xl on this rom ?

Anyone running this on pixel sailfish please with feedback ?

Excuse me english.

I been reading through here to do open gapps. Has anyone tried the magisk gapps module? Says just store the zip and it will load it on boot. Just a thought.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
I can confirm nano works. But I did it differently then OP.

Flash ROM

Flash twrp

Boot device and go through start lineage menu. Then go to recovery.

Flash open gapps nano.

Play store and logging in is a little weird. No data transfer. But will work in restore options for google.

Phone frameworks is present, I was getting weird things with the phone. Missed and dropped calls. Tested phone. It works. Nano is a go. On flashing bigger open gapps zips. I found when I was reflshing stock images, I had a sizing issue. I had to resize and fix the system partition before going back to any ROM. Something about resizing when installing g apps fails. And it isn't just this ROM. Had it happen on a few custom ROMs now

I flash the rom and forget to flash twrp , now i boot in to rom but no play store no gaps instaled , i bot again in recovery but no recovery twrp ? Some solution for twrp ?

Can i flash with adb ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NepoRood:
Just fastboot the TWRP image again, you can then use the TWRP install script
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Like above says, get to bootloader screen, either adb reboot bootloader or power off and power on holding power and volume down. Just reinstall twrp like you did the first time. And if you haven't, go to that post and follow. Pixel pie root, look for that post, root for dummies for the pixel and xl.

Google apps, weird issue

Hi guys, I have a little problem with all the custom pie roms I have tried, My feeling is that this is because custom 'pies' simply aren't more ready yet.

Description of my little issue, I used liquidremix, benzo rom and now lineage 16

After 2 weeks - 1 month when they been updated, google app, gmail and google play starts force closing or simply refusing to start.

Every install is clean, using gapps recommended in op.

Any comment, happened to someone else?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_JD:
Are you using substratum or any themes?

I occasionally forget to re-theme when I take app updates, and that caused foreclosing.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
This ROM is excellent. Managed to get it working with microG as well as Snapchat (using titanium backup). My only concern now is to see how good the battery life is. I imagine it is better than the stock ROM as GApps are not running in the background all the time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] the.D:
SOT is great with MicroG on this ROM. Averaged about 8 hours when I was on it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] moyses:
You got 8hours of SOT

It's impossible with our Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] juggalofr33k:
Yeah, I call BS too...and I just put in a brand new battery and right now I've got 4 hours SOT with 36% remaining...with battery saver, BT, and location on the entire time and screen brightness around 40%.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] the.D:
It is with MicroG and mainly browser usage. Less conservative usage gets me 6 and a half to 7 hours.

That's because GApps is a battery hog. Without it I'm sure you'd experience better battery life. Again it does all depend on what your app usage is.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sindalf:
MicroG = micro Google apps ?

Do you use apps like Facebook , Instagram or Snapchat ?

Thats impressive 7h sot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] the.D:
https://microg.org/ You'll have to patch this ROM for signature spoofing support. Yes I use all those. Except I use Swipe for Facebook, a third party client. Heavy usage of Snapchat Alpha usually brings my SOT down to 6 hours.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] moyses:
Have you an idea about how to use MicroG

I'm interessted to extend my battery life
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sindalf:
Really interested too.. can we use MicroG on other roms as well ? Am on pixeldust rom..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] the.D:
I was only able to install it as a userapp because placing GmsCore in priv-app caused bootloops with this ROM. Maybe [MENTION=9575890]virgilthepoet[/MENTION] can chime in on how they setup MicroG and if they were able to install it in system. Otherwise, you lose the ability to use location backends.

Yes, the simplest way is to use an unofficial installer such as NanoDroid (https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928) by [MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Yep. I did exactly the same. You have to deodex the services.jar on Linux and use nano-patcher to enable signature spoofing. Haven't tried to install microG as a system app, and I don't really want to risk it atm. I'm on a regular pixel (sailfish) and getting 5-6 hrs SOT.
