How long do update installations take? Mine has been stuck on finalizing for about 15 minutes
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fKm:
Thats not normal. I had such a problem only with a bad data cable or a bad download.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tmoore3496:
Ok so my screen started flashing again. Happened after restarting system ui and the only way to make it stop is turning airplane mode on when holding power button. idk......
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nr7777:
Phone calls stop somehow after random time (usually 1-5min) but only when the phone is near the ear (might be related to proximity sensors). When talking over the loud speaker everything is fine..
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Leho:
i found a temp fix for the lockscreen issue. It seems to happen when your device has motion sense enabled. A fix would be to never enable motion sense. If your phone is having this problem, hold the power button and turn on aeroplane mode, then go to settings and you have to quickly disable aeroplane mode and toggle motion sense. Hope this is helpful to someone! Was also wondering fKm, if you could please add custom header support to the rom? Thanks

New build pushed. Kernel was updated and slim recents were added.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kerryh420:
I may have missed this in the body of the instructions as I see a couple of others touched on it slightly:

When I go to flash the first time what slot do I put PixelDust on? I saw the mention towards the end about if you are not booting PixelDust then you need to use fastboot to set slots a or b. I know it doesn't say this expressly but the way it's worded leaves me the impression that maybe this can dual boot...Since I doubt that's the case I (since it wasn't stated) I'm confused as to which slot to put pixeldust on (I only see a mention that the slot needs to be fastboot set after I go back to stock ROM (At least I think that's what it said - I have never truly understood the purpose of slots since they came out a few years ago, after nexus but before pixel maybe?)

Pardon that this inquiry is a little off topic, any help or background on understanding slots would be greatly appreciated to help me wrap my head around this better, in addition to which slot I put PixelDust and how to do that in order with the rest of the instructions since I'm sure the order of setting slots and flashing the ROM are definitely important, right? Again, I'm sorry if this is in the instructions already and I hope the way I worded the post made sense.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fKm:
It doesn't matter on which slot you flash PixelDust. If you are in bootloader and it says active slot: a, then you automatically flash PixelDust to slot b (it gets flashed always on the inactive slot!). Sadly after flashing the ota script won't change the slot automatically, so you have to do it manually with booting into bootloader again and change the active slot (in this example to slot b). On slot a there is still the ROM or the stock firmware you had before.

The slot thing on modern devices is for updating the firmware over the air. With that you are able to update your device and still work on it.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
So far I have not had this issue again. I am rooted again, but the difference is right now I do not have any patter/pin or face-unlock on my phone. Haven't had this issue since 04-22
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kerryh420:
Ok, So I flashed the ROM as per instructions. I did get an error as it finished up, no big deal, we were warned in the instructions this could happen.

So I rebooted to system after flashing the ROM, no errors during startup, but everything looks the same, like regular ol stock android.

Is there a custom splash screen or anything to indicate that were are booted in pixeldust? Did I need to change the active slot from A to B after the flash?. Looks Like I answered my own question. Yes, after flashing the ROM you need to change your active partition to B. While it did automatically flash the ROM to B it didn't reboot to B. As mentioned, need to update in fastboot.

When I flashed the ROM and inadvertently rebooted into regular android 10 I made several minor changes in settings such as turning on dark mode. When I changed slots and rebooted into Pixeldust the first time I was greeted with the pixeldust splash screen but I was also surprised to see the changes I had made on the A slot came over with it into pixeldust, unless pixeldust has a black background and dark mode by default, and other ...?

Oh, and you do not need to be rooted to flash this ROM, something I didn't know, but you do need your bootloader unlocked.

So question now is how do I root? The methods I found involve installing Magisk and using a file patcher in the app to patch the boot file that you extract from the latest factory image. But if you do that then you don't have this (pixeldust) boot.img that allows unsigned ROMs...So is there no way to root with this ROM or whats going on with that?

And since we don't have TWRP yet how do we create backup images of the partitions (system/data/etc)?
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fKm:
For rooting just patch the provided boot.img and flash the created magisk_patched.img in bootloader. Reboot and you are rooted. It is the same way as in Stock.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kerryh420:
Excellent! That sounds simple enough (famous last words, lol). Thank you.

One last question: Since there is no TWRP for our phone yet how do we create nandroid backups (full partition images, ie: system/data/boot.etc...)?

Prost!

New build with may security update has been pushed!
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] harxd:
Hello,

First of all, thanks a lot for the ROM, i love it!

I have never written anything in any forum so i hope that I'm doing it the right way - I just want to help.

Secondly:

So I also experienced the screen flickering problem (reflashed the ROM a few times: installing stock rom with the flash-all.bat on both partitions and then continuing with the instructions - still happened every time).

I am using Magisk and the only installed and activated module, the last time the screen flickering appeared, was Systemless Hosts provided by Magisk itself. I used it with AdAway.

I found out (just by trying) that the screen flickering stops when I enable airplane mode in the power menu (I have added the airplane mode option to the power menu in the ROM settings and let the power menu enabled for the lock screen) and I can also enable wifi without any problems after that.

Btw I am not a pro in troubleshooting so when i read that a logcat helps a lot I had to google how to do it and did it (hopefully the right way): [-> end of reply] enabled airplane mode and the flickering started again; searched with ctrl+f for airplane mode and began the copying from there so the logcat isn't too long (or should I provide more information?)

Thanks again for the awesome ROM!

Ok apparently, because I am a new user, I can't post outside links yet so here's the ID(?) from the pastebin link: yvzjzQ5t

Edit: Erasing userdata (I did it in the recovery) also removes the flickering.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] petrocity:
My phone won't update with the builtin updater so I've been sideloading the updates. I still get the notifications of previous builds though. How can I check to make sure my updates are being installed?
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] petrocity:
So I think I found a way to check is by looking at the android security patch which has the May date. Keep up the great work guys!
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] spezi77:
Thanks for your feedback. We really appreciate that.

The problem / screen flickering stems from an unstable port of the Motion Sense library from the firmware of the coral. Dirty Unicorns have done great pioneering work, but unfortunately some devices have incompatibility problems.

The only solution in this or your case is to switch off the Motion Sense feature.

Sorry, there is currently no other option.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] harxd:
Alright, thanks.

Motion Sense is not really important for me and at least now that I know that this is the problem I can easily prevent the flickering from happening by just disabling it - could've been worse I guess.

Thanks for your work.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Hey guys, thanks for the rom. This is the first thing I've flashed since my Pixel 3 and it's kinda nice to have some options again.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Planet X:
Is it still needed to have the factory image of april as stated in OP? I have already the may update and really want to try this rom on my Pixel 4.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fKm:
You need may. I forgot to change it.
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Planet X:
Finally flashed it today. The instructions are working very well. After switching the slot with fastboot it was booting to Pixeldust rom. The rom feels fast and fluent like stock. Until now I can say that everything works great. I really like the rom. What I miss is the new Google "At a Glance" widget without the | in between date and weather. Also the App drawer background is not really dark. I have tried to install the original Pixel launcher but that doesn't work.

But double tab to sleep in launcher is a nice to have. Also the theme options are great. Now I'm curious to see how battery life is going with the rom.

Keep it going! Thanks for your great work.

Does face unlock work for anyone else? It keeps saying enrollment issues
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dpryor88:
You must have tried Android 11 beta. Once doing so, if you go back to Q (stock or custom), face unlock will be broken. There is a magisk mod for fixing this. Some say it can be fixed, however none of their methods have worked for me. So if your want to run Q (stock or custom ROM), you'll need to root each time, flash the mod, and then you can set up face unlock in security settings. Sorry, but you're kinda ****ed. Google hasn't put out a fix still. They've been aware of the issue for months now though..

If you enroll/go back to R beta, face unlock will work. The mod is only needed on Q related stuff.

Face unlock will work (on 10 ) if u leave the beta program and use the OTA that comes to you're Phone. its a roll back OTA
[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dpryor88:
I wish that was true. For everyone at least. But I, along with many others, are not able to permanently get face unlock to work on Q again. Just a temp fix with the mod.

I've tried every sort of revert/clean flash possible. Not gonna be fixed until Google fixes it.

[Google Pixel 4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dambay:
Is there any way to reposition the docked icons at the bottom of the screen when the Google Search Bar is disabled? Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere, but it seems like it defeats the purpose of removing the bar, if those icons cant be moved down to free up screen space. Thanks!

EDIT: Also, Google Assistant and Active Edge seem to be working once setup in Settings, but I'm not seeing the coloured bar at the bottom of the screen to indicate Assistant is listening. I feel the haptic feedback, and the phone will respond to commands, there's just no visual indication that its working. Is this a result of the settings being moved into Pixel Settings?

i unlocked my bootloader but cant install the boot.img.

here is what i did so far: flashed the latest factory image -> enable usb debugging -> adb reboot fastboot ->fastboot flash boot boot.img ->failed (remote: no such file and directory)

fastboot devices shows my phone.

does anyone have an idea what i did wrong?

also, did you update the adb fastboot platform tools,

Had trouble flashing this. After sideload completed, I couldnt use the menu to enter fastboot. Error was E could not start NETLINK

Held power and volume down until phone menu popped up, from here I enter bootloader, and then move to fastboot to switch to the other partition. Rebooted good.

I used settings to do a factory reset and ended up in the in the fastboot menu with a NETLINK related error (forogt to copy it down). Couldnt reboot with the menu, so I used the power button again and got it started. The factory reset was successful too

I think somethings wrong with fastboot menu
