without a doubt, I am a complete idiot. :D i really didnt realize those colors scrolled... thank you!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaicat:
If I flash ur rom. Will I lose all the pixel camera optimizations？

The reason why I stick to the stock rom is that I afraid to lose the stock camera features and optimizations.

Sorry I'm a noob
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shiftr182:
This rom has the same camera features as stock. Go ahead and flash it :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaicat:
Same as any other ROMs as well?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gmentals:
I just picked up a Pixel 3 XL, but I haven't rooted a phone in a few years. I've managed to get it rooted on the stock rom with Magisk and TWRP installed. My question is: do I need to flash the Magisk uninstaller before flashing this rom? Thank you.

Anyone else experiencing SystemUI crashes with Headers turned while certain apps are running. YouTube TV for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
No, flashing the ROM will overwrite the boot image anyway. You will need to do a clean install though and if you're on the March update, you need to go back to February vendor image at this time (I haven't released with March patches yet)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] twcobra:
Correction. I started having the SystemUI crashes again. It seams to happen while casting. I started turning off features. The crashes stopped while casting when I turned off Pulse.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gmentals:
I'm still on the February update, so that works out then. I got it flashed no problem. Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
I'll try to reproduce the problem, when I get some time
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] twcobra:
One thing I did not try. I did not disable active squeeze. The was causing an issue on another rom
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
I've been on the rom since last weekend. I had a ton of issues with the first flash and sysui crashing during the setup. I've had no issues since I reflashed(clean to stock then the rom) until last night. I woke up and my alarm hadn't gone off and I needed to put in my pin to unlock. The only notification I had was for play store updates...

It was plugged in and sitting on my nightstand... Hadn't been touched.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Can you try to reproduce the problem? Maybe grab some logs? I have not had any of the above issues you stated, so hard for us to fix.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Trashking:

Just flashed it, everything working fine :svetius:

But battery seems to drain quickly
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaicat:
One issue I have noticed so far, the AOD will keep maximum brightness when you turn off your screen, it won't auto change the brightness.

Last night I when I was sleeping, the phone is so bright I thought someone was texting me all the time:angel:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kaicat:
Also the lockscreen time problem
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjegan2008:
After updating from the previous version of scorpion ROM, V2.3 on the February security patches, when I updated to this one, my Pixel 3 XL is throwing a vendor mismatch at system startup. I even went back to full stock on the March security patches to see if doing a clean install would fix the issue, but it doesn't seem to have done so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
This means you have the March vendor image on one slot and February on the other. To fix this, simply move the March vendor image to your sdcard, reboot to TWRP and choose install image. Make sure you tick the "vendor" partition at the top, then flash and reboot.

The March vendor can be found in the factory zip downloaded from Google. Unzip it, inside there is another zip, extract that and all the other images will be there.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjegan2008:
Thanks, this definitely fixed my problem I was having with the vendor mismatch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] twcobra:
That is strange. The factory image usually flashes both slots. That is why each month I flash the factory image with the -w removed of course. So I start the next round of custom Roms with a fresh foundation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjegan2008:
Yeah, that kinda threw me too, until I flashed the vendor image through TWRP, and that fixed the issue completely. I am grateful to the person who gave me that advise, so now I know what to do from here on out. I've had that issue on other ROM's and either chose to ignore it, or just went completely back to stock and didn't go back to that ROM afterwards. I'm not that knowledgeable about how to fix some of these issues, and the funny thing is I have been on and off the ROM scene since windows mobile 5. I remember when I had to flash RUU's for HTC devices back in the day, before Android was a big deal. Back then, having to play around with programs such as QPST, and the like was a whole different ball game then things are now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Nope it only flashes the active slot. Then the rom flash changes slots like an ota and bam your out of sync.

Reason for not flashing both is that is has a fallback.

Each month I have been flashing each slot manually with fastboot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] twcobra:
I thought Ota flashed the active slot and the factory flashed both. I use the factory with the -w removed so it does not wipe the sd card. It will show flashing both slots on my computer.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
That's what I thought but check the images they don't match. Dev info gives you a little more info.

I might be wrong but my expired has been it doesn't always and gets me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beanaman:
Yeah you need to manually enter preferred slot when you flash the factory images in fastboot. I have been doing this also every month before flashing new rooms.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
When ever I update the ROM to the next security patch, I just put the current vendor image in my sdcard along with the ROM, and reboot to TWRP. Flash the ROM, flash TWRP, reboot recovery, flash vendor image and finish with Magisk.

I usually do this a few time while testing, eventually the new vendor is on both slots and I stop flashing it ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Incorrect
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You are correct about being incorrect. If you leave the -w in it'll flash to both slots. Sup wild man? :cool:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Is there anyway to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the lock screen. I didn't see anywhere in Scorpion Nest to change it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
It should be doing it automatically based on your location. It's been working fine for myself and I have not heard an issues from anyone else.

Its also the same code ABCrom, DU, Liquid Remix, and others use.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Thank you. I just looked and for whatever reason it has switched to Fahrenheit for me. Not sure what took it so long, I flashed the rom about a week ago. Lol. But all good now. Great work by the way.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Lol.

No problem, this is my stress reliever
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Haha. I built a ROM once when I had my S7 and it dang sure wasn't a stress reliever for me. Lol. To much I didn't understand plus the locked bootloader added it's challenges. I finally just lost interest. But been thinking of trying again with the Pixel since I buy from Google and get the unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Well if you decide to build a rom, try HavosOS please lol Tons of cool features and it was stable. Loved it on my Pixel 2 XL:D
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Will do. Last time I just built from scratch with the help of a dev on here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Sounds good man let me know through pm if you need me to test btw ;) good luck!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Actually if you decide to build, Join us on telegram. That's the main reason we created this rom, to pay it forward. [MENTION=7237874]NepoRood[/MENTION] and I both had some awesome mentors to help us along the way, so we intend to help others also.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Yea, I joined yalls group that is linked in the op. I messed around a little last night getting the windows version of SuperRkitchen setup on my computer. Gonna try to see how it works on windows. Not really wanting to dual boot my comp right now with Ubuntu. If the windows version isn't as friendly I might just buy another laptop for Ubuntu only.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Never used any kitchen. And also never used windows to compile. Windows needs to die.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
What is the tool you use to compile on lixux?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackscorpion3:
Use the command line. Plenty of tutorials on here to walk you through setting up a build environment.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FilthyFord:
Screw I'm shrinking my drive right now and just gonna dual boot Ubuntu again. I might try to figure out how to build without a kitchen. Probably well be hitting you up in telegram at some point. Lol

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QD2DC:
I have a stand and can test if needed still. Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ChiddyBng:
Hey guys!

I want to flash this rom, i've read many of the comments here but didn't find my answer.

Is there any tweaks on performance/battery (or options we can play with)? I'm looking for something that will give a boost to my battery! :)

Thanks,

ChiddyBng.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjegan2008:
I can test with a Pixel stand as well.

I am using the Pixel 3 XL on the April build, and it has helped me out a lot with battery life. I hands down perfer bootleggers ROM over all the others. Not only it is one of the most visually appealing ROMs I have ever used, the battery life lasts all day for me (or in my case all night because I am a night owl)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Thanks all for offering to test, the Pixel Stand has been tested and confirmed working. I'll post releases for crosshatch and blueline later (when I get off work) :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjegan2008:
Just curious, what was it you were testing exactly regarding the Pixel Stand ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
That it worked. The source was closed to Google only, but the DU team were able to reverse engineer the stand and the squeeze function. This is the first release that includeds the stand... Kind of a good idea to test it before you release it.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ChiddyBng:
Hi guys,

I finaly choosed this rom and up to now, it's pretty great! I also flashed the kirusaka kernel. Smoothness and battery life seems pretty good.

But i got one "big" issue, my cellular data doesnt work at all. Seems an APN issue but all option are greyed. I tried modifying apn-config.xml with the right setting for my carrier (telus) but nothing changed.

I'm kinda stuck, any ideas?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Old Man Dave:
I'm on Rogers and have had a couple of APN issues over time.... It's always been IPV4/V6 needing to be edited as per my post here to fix

I followed the instructions but I cannot get the ROM to load. It just takes me back to the default recovery. I have no clue how to fix this
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Sounds like you to have to fastboot flash the stock factory image without the -w of course to keep data then I would fast boot flash twrp img then flash twrp zip then make sure both slots have April vendor flashed then wipe data flash this rom .. then twrp and magisk etc ...

Edit: you can also see here how to fix your problem https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/guide-progress-available-t3876849
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
You didn't flash the TWRP install zip after you flashed the ROM and you likely have an old vendor image in one of your slots if it went back to stock recovery. You can get the factory images from Google, here

Keep extracting the zips until you get to the one with all the images in it, you're looking for "vendor.img"

Boot to your boot loader, you can do this from the stock recovery, and flash the vendor to both slots

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img --slot all

Next, you'll want to fastboot the TWRP image (the name of your TWRP image may differ)

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-crosshatch.img

Using the booted TWRP, flash the ROM zip and TWRP installer zip, when they are done installing, reboot the device

You can root with Magisk or flash a custom kernel after you setup your device for the first time.

If you have any further difficulties, post here, and we'll try to help you through it :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aydinbahadir88:
which kernel is the best for this ROM ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seanmack:
Thank you guys! I definitely did not re-install TWRP after. I was able to reflash the ROM and then TWRP and I got it to boot up, but encountered alot of errors. I had a bunch of apps that would not install and all downloads seemed to fail. I will start with flashing those vendor images and installing the ROM/TWRP again. Wish me luck!!! Its ok to use TWRP 3.3, right?

I flashed Magisk 18.1 but i did not see it among my apps. Lemme try again now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
If you're using a blueline, TWRP 3.3 works fine I hear, Crosshatch doesn't decrypt data, or something. You may need to wipe the device in TWRP to clear out old app data (your crashes) then setup new
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seanmack:
Ok... i'm on crosshatch, so I'll wipe and just install apps from scratch... no biggie. Thanks again!

Sorry to be a pest.. I feel like such a rookie!! Yesterday, I was able to 'fastboot' from the OpenShell window. Now, I get errors when I try them. Any idea why?

Got it!!! Forgot "." in the beginning of the command :)

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

ROM is loaded.. still can't install alot of apps due to error. Must be corruption because its only happening to apps i've had already. Google apps all install fine. Instagram installed fine, but Facebook doesn't , and same thing for a bunch of others. I did a factory reset before installing the ROM, as you advised. Also, flashed vendor img to both slots as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Try clearing Play store app's data and force stop it then try again?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seanmack:
Unfortunately, that didn't work. I would have assumed that this had to have happened to someone else before.

Guess I'm try another ROM and if I still have the same issues. Then maybe i'll flash original stock and then do everything over from scatch.

From what I can do, I love this ROM. Unfortunately I cannot install alot of apps. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seanmack:
Everything working!!!

Hey guys... I started from scratch and doing everything over... and the ROM Is working perfectly. Thank you to everyone who helped me out. I definitely learned alot in the process
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Glad you got it going and like the work, once you get the hang of flashing an A/B device, it's really not that difficult :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] snobrdinrtiste:
is it possible NOT to have the quick settings open up when you first pull down the notifications?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NepoRood:
Sure, Follow the path:

Settings/Scorpion Nest/Quick Settings/Quick QS pulldown
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] snobrdinrtiste:
Ah... I was there... And saw that the "disabled" option was already checked so I didn't think of having to tap it again

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seanmack:
Noob question, I'm sure

Anytime I reboot my phone, I get the message about the Bootloader being unlocked. Am I supposed to lock it back after flashing a ROM, so it doesn't do this? Or is this just something I have to do with when rooting and using custom ROMs?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
You live with it. If you lock it you will factory reset.

Is there a way to remove the bootscreen warning without locking the device.

Maybe have a script that automatically presses the power button twice rapidly to skip the screen when it comes on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shiftr182:
Nope.... Just don't turn off the phone, then you don't need to worry about the warning message. Or you could turn your phone on while it's in your pocket.

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] just a bird xo:
So I'm extremely new to the pixel game & I'm trying to get active edge working but I haven't had much luck.

I understand I have to have the correct vendor image & I took a screenshot of a message that appeared on first boot which told me the correct image needed.

I found what I believed to be the correct image and flashed it but the message appeared again on boot & active edge still isn't working.

I'm currently on PQ2A.190405.003.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? (I'm just coming from HTC & this is all very different lol)
