Sounds like you're doing something wrong. This is what I do, and never have issues

Flash the latest stock build for the month of ROM release. Example: Going to flash the latest September lineage, then flash the September official ROM first. (Yes it will completely wipe your device. Back up first )

Now that you're on stock, fastboot boot twrp. Go to reboot, and check which slot you're in. I like to be in A. If you are, then press back. Transfer ROM, gapps, and twrp zip to internal.

Go to wipe, and wipe everything but internal. Then, flash the twrp zip. When that's done, press back, and click reboot. Press on slot B. Press reboot recovery.

When recovery boots back up, go to reboot. Check to make sure you are in slot B. If you are, great. Now press back, then install, and install ROM and twrp zip. Once done, press back. Press reboot, then recovery. (On other ROMs you'll get a no OS warning, don't worry about it)

Once recovery reboots, press reboot. Confirm that now you're in slot A. (After you flash a rom on B, it'll reboot to A by itself) .If you are, great. Press back, then install gapps. Keep in mind you can't flash magisk until you boot at least once. Now reboot and enjoy.

I know it's time consuming, but I literally never have any issues, and I bounce between ROMs all the time. You don't have to wipe internal until you go to the next month. And even then, you can find ways around that too. Once you get used to it, the steps take up no time at all. Best advice I can give is to just double check your slots all the time. When you flash a ROM, it will always flash to the opposite slot you're booted into. That is why you wipe the system, data, cache while you're booted into slot A. This means slot A is now ready to be flashed. When you boot up to B, and flash the ROM, it flashes it to A. When you reboot recovery again, you'll be in slot A, and can then flash your gapps. You'll be in A every time you go to recovery now until you change slots yourself
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mrmidnight:
Performed those exact steps. I'll go back and try again. If it doesn't boot then I will have to accept that my phone just won't work with lineage :crying:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zehlek:
Here is what I do and have no issues.

-After flashing factory images and copying backed up storage to internal

-Boot into Bootloader

-ADB Fastboot boot TWRP.img

-Check restart should say Slot B

-Flash TWRP installer

- Wipe Data, system, cache

-Go to restart

-Select Slot A

-Select reboot recovery

-Now after TWRP loads up check and it should say Slot A

-Wipe Data, System, Cache

-Flash Rom and TWRP

-Select reboot recovery

-Check and it should say Slot B

-Flash [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] mind the gapps

-Boot into system

After flashing ROM and TWRP on slot a. Do you select reboot to recovery and check if you are now in slot b? You must flash gapps in opposite slot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] luckylui:
To be honest, I'm not sure. I always go the updated route especially with Gapps. Haven't had any issues with opengapps since moving to the Pixel from my Note5 days. Opengapps is always my go to package.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Official gapps?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] moyses:
Opengapps instead the gapps filed in this thread
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
2 suggestions.

1. Read the thread.

2. Learn what Opengapps is... https://opengapps.org/#aboutsection

Its not an "official" gapps.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] michelemascia7:
Yes, you can use opengapps official
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I followed the steps in OP and post 231. After installing GAPPS in slot B and reboot system it boots to a curved line with a circle going thru it. It stays that way for a few minutes then reboots back to TWRP. I went through every step but I suppose this is some kind of bootloop? I have to start over and try again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Which Gapps? Did you get any errors on install? The curved line is the lineage boot animation.

Also, don't use the 231 post. No data wiping is necessary between monthly updates. You should always upgrade vendor, radio, etc, but there is no need to flash latest build each time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
GAPSS from OP. I am coming from Android 8.1 rooted with Magisk stock ROM so I had to start at the very beginning.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
So you did this using the android 9.0 files located in the OP?

fastboot flash --slot all vendor VendorFileName.img

fastboot flash --slot all radio RadioFileName.img

fastboot flash --slot all bootloader BootloaderFileName.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Correct.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Alright, So what exactly are you doing? What is the feedback you are seeing on your screen after each install? If you can write up the process and the output from TWRP, we can try to work with that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I'm going to start completely over. I am back in the bootloader on Slot B.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
You don't need to start in any particular slot. You just need to make sure that when you click reboot recovery after rom/twrp install, that it switches to the other slot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Flashed Vendor A & B

Flashed Radio A & B

Flashed bootloader A & B

Boot to bootloader- still slot B

Fastboot boot twrp.img- Slot B

Flash twrp-done

go back and wipe data, system, cache- done

Go back- reboot- select slot A

Go back- Reboot recovery (No OS installed do you want to reboot-yes)

Check slot- A

Wipe data,system,cache- done

Go back Install Lineage OS- done

Go back Install TWRP 3.2.3-1 done

Go back reboot-recovery- no OS installed do you want to reboot- yes

Check slot B

Install Mind the Gapps- done

reboot system installtwrp app and install as system app

Swipe to reboot.

Goes to Lineage screen for a few minutes then boots back into TWRP 3.2.3-1

Check slot B
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Removed all the crap you shouldn't do. Fixed the slot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I tried twice and still get booted back to TWRP. I started completely over.

At this point would a factory reset help? I really need to get this back up and running now. Even stock 9.0 would be better than nothing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
Are you still doing the stuff I removed?

specifically this one:

"reboot system install twrp app and install as system app" - you should not be doing this.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I've gone through this a few times doing only what you have corrected in my list and it either boots back to TWRP or bootloops. Yes I left that step out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
hmm... only thing I could think of is a bad file download outside of that. You might want to go ahead and just install pie and try again later.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
FINALLY got it. Took 4-5 attempts and I honestly couldn't tell you what I did different the last time. I swear I followed the same steps each time that you gave me. It's installing all my stuff now. Thank you very much for your help. Now I am kinda scared to install magisk and my kernel...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
Figured it out it's the Gapps in OP. Will boot without Gapps and OpenGapps soon as I use MTG (used older versions too) It reboots to TWRP.

Is there a way to make the stock keyboard smaller?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] haibane:
I'd skip it because if you look through this thread there is a long list of issues where people struggle to use other kernels. This is due to a lack of LOS support from the kernel devs. Some work some don't, but I haven't heard of any noticable benefits using anything but the LOS kernel.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

Easy answer is to download a weather widget. I personally find those work better. Other option is to check razorloves 15.1 thread. Razor had posted some working weather files that you could use with the defaults. I am not sure if those work on here or not. Maybe razor will comment.

Possibly dumb question, but would rather ask than screw it up. I'm on 15.1/Oreo now, want to flash this tonight...in the past I've done a full wipe and installed the factory image first (in this case, the 9.0.0 Pie image)....but do I have to do this, or can I just do a wipe, flash the three images to both slots, and carry on with the install as you describe in this post?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] razorloves:
I've got some good news.

I double checked and to my surprise google finally added support for call recording. They added it into the audio hal and the pixel audio config in pie.

It's shocking because qualcomm has been supporting this since 2013... and google is just now adding the change. lol

I mistakenly assumed it wasn't supported since they never bothered adding it in the previous years, so i'm glad I checked.

I just tested it and it works great, so i'll enable it and make a new build for you all. :good:

Also, expanded desktop, clock position, and circle battery icon have been ported to 16.0, so i'll include those too.
