Yes unlimited backup worked for me too. Excited with this rom, been using for a week.

My only concern is a third party app LastPass which sometimes freezes 5-10 seconds during auto fill

How to instal

Can anyone tell me how to instal this rom from the beginning step?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CLPose:
Hi! Make sure you're on latest official Google firmware. Remove any pattern/pin/whatever lock. Boot to TWRP (don't flash). Wipe everything but internal storage. Flash this ROM (no GApps needed, since they are included in this ROM). Reboot and wait for initial screen. If you want Magisk, flash it after first boot. Enjoy! If I'm wrong, please, add any missing step. Good luck!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cyberon:
Quick question, do we have to flash the "OTA" again through TWRP?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] radiradiradi1:
I found issue. Doesn't work microphone when I turn on speakerphone (hands-free mode).
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jambonX:
I've rooted several phones in the past and installed custom ROMs on several phones, but I can't seem to figure out how to root this ROM.

I've been able to root the stock ROM an Q, but I haven't been able to root this ROM. Can anyone help?

I've been able to install this ROM using fastboot to twrp, but I can't root it. I either get a bootloop or no root. Can someone help? I think a working combination of the following would help.

Magisk.zip (which version?)

TWRP.img (which version?)

TWRP.zip (which version?)

Another problem I have is that I can't get TWRP to stick. I always have to fastboot into twrp. Some help on that would be appreciated as well.

I rooted the current stock ROM by booting into boot.img, running magisk to patch, then flashing the patched magisk_boot.img. Can I do the same here? If so, how do I extract the boot.img?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Figured it out myself...mostly.

Reflashed stock firmware <-- I think this is really important!!

Added the following to the phone:

Pixel Experience ROM

Magisk 20.4.zip

Magisk 7.5.1 apk

fastboot boot twrp 3.2.3-1-sailfish.img

install Pixel Experience ROM

boot once

fastboot boot twrp 3.2.3-1-sailfish.img

flashed magisk 20.4.zip
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hairycheez:
Doing a factory reset from TWRP or the built in recovery after flashing magisk.zip should fix bootloop.

Also, you can backup the boot partition using the TWRP backup feature. Although the backup won't have the .img extension, Magisk

Manager can still patch it.

And TWRP is too big to fit on boot ramdisk for our pixels with Android 10 roms. It's a long known issue. Can still use fastboot to boot in to TWRP just fine.

Installed this Rom approximately a week ago. Running pretty smooth, hugely impressed with the camera performance compared to other Rom's. I really appreciate your work and all that you're doing to keep our Pixel OG fresh even in 2020.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robinpotter:
Hello! Thank you so much for the rom!

I have a query. Google pixel (sailfish) has camera2api but it doesn't support long exposure. On official rom I used a magisk module by savitar which allowed me 20s exposure. But later it didn't work after I updated. I was wondering if something can be modified in the Plus version of the rom, so that long exposure can be used?!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mihaixp:
Hello, I wanted to install this ROM by following the instructions provided here (https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/sailfish/install/). I booted into the PE recovery but at this point my device is not detected with the command "adb devices", the list is empty. I also tried going into "Advanced" - Enable ADB, but I still get the same thing.

I am using the same official platform tools that I used for fastboot so I'm asumming if that worked this should also work. Can anyone please help me? Thanks

Also tried using twrp 3.3.0 but it cannot mount system and vendor (I believe it is a limitation of Android 10 on sailfish).
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Whatsupdock:
I am hugely appreciate your work. ROM is running perfectly fine with the latest build, no issues for me at all. But I have one significant suggestion. Camera autofocus is buggy due to the permanently turned on camera laser sensor, this bug was present on the official ROM as well, but there was a toggle in dev options to turn it off. Can you please implement it to PE with the next update? Sometimes it is very annoying, focus is buggy not only in Camera PX, but in all the camera-related application features, such as telegram video call/video message.

Is it not located in display>lock screen?

Here in this sub menu on most roms you can customise it.

on most ROMS, yes we should, but it's not on both ROMS I've mentionned. Even when taping keywords in the settings searchbar, nothing is found. I'm actually running RR8 and it's not available here as well, but fortunately it's not enabled by default like the two others.

Anybody else have any issues with 12/22 update?

backup your data & apps just in case, using Migrate app, and do a clean fresh flash if it didn't work.

one questions I have

How do I change from SU to Magikdisk, ???

So happy with this rom... Thank you for everything

Just friggin loving this rom.... only issue I have had is occassionly it disconnects from WIFI and then take a long time to reconnect... other than that all works great.

for those wanting a better camera all the following work great

manual camera fx

open camera

camera zoom fx

rectrica

bandacam

DSLR camera

all with similar results and all pretty damn good.

[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
my sim cards don't seem to work on this rom. i've had this issue before in RR 5.8.5 and the only way to fix it is just to reboot my phone and voila, it's fixed, but in this rom it can't even read my sim cards at all

edit :

sim 1 is working as of right now. i just had to wait for it to work though the signal cluster icons don't show that it does. sim 2 is still not working

i have successfully installed both magisk and xposed. they both work like a charm thus far. i'll let you know if there's anything going on
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] lohtse:
what method for magisk did you use and xposed mod?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
for magisk i simply just download the app and download and flash the zip with it. i had to root the rom first by flashing one of the files from the main thread. for xposed, i followed the steps given in this post : https://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-oreo-beta/

update :

instagram both in vanilla and modded apk seems to be stuttering when a video/live feed is playing. everything else is working just fine, especially the battery life. it feels way better than RR 5.8.5 i used prior to this one
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
same issue here both sim cards were not detected but after i eject and insert them again, they got detected after that there are still some problems which i cannot make a call and use mobile data.

hope it can be fixed soon
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
are you using any mods like magisk & xposed though ? i've had the same problem, idk if it was caused by either one of em or even both of em, but as far as i know is if i'm trying to mess with my phone's partitions after i install magisk, it'll become weird that it restarts randomly and keeps giving you problems. i fixed it by dirty flashing the same rom. that way everything will be back to normal without really changing anything but to undo the changes done by the mods
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
no i'm not using any mod yet except mindgapps since flash the rom. right now the sim cards problem doesn't appear when i use only 1 sim card and it has to be in slot 1 otherwise it will be error. maybe i'll try to dirty flash it and hoping it fixes the issues

update:

have dirty flash it, it did help at first both sims can make a call then i switch my mobile network to slot 2 they got stuck at no signal at all, reboot my phone and the original problem(can't use 2 sim cards) happened again
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
if it's only about the sim cards and nothing else, then i've had this issue since way back then when i was using RR 5.8.5 which wasn't stable at all compared to this LOS 15.1. what i've always done when i've got that issue was to reboot the phone, counting the stars hoping my sim will work in the next boot and that was it. i've only had this issue only after i flashed some mods in the first boot, but luckily i've had this issue fixed just recently, so as far as i know as of right now, the only problem i'm encountering to this day is just my instagram keeps stuttering everytime a video is played regardless which app i use, either it's the vanilla or a modded one. gaming feels way smoother. i've played real racing 3, darkness rises and mobile legends just to see how it handles 3d rendering and surprisingly it handles quite well. had to tone down the settings to gain more fps though. external sd's r/w speed is quite decent, theming with substratum doesn't slow my phone whatsoever unlike in my previous RR 5.8.5 where it totally ruined my phone's performance. oh and i encountered a totally new bug or some sort where i couldn't add any more payment method in my google play, saying my phone is rooted although the first time i activated it in 2017 i believe was when my phone was rooted as well as filled with mods
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
this redmi note 2 is my daily driver so it's really important for me if it can use 2 sim cards so i'm gonna use this rom for a while wishing some miracle for my sim cards or the developers will fix this soon :D . about the performance, this is one of the reasons i stick with this rom it's smooth, pretty good battery life compare to miuipro 9.5. really appreciated the works
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
did you dirty or clean flash this rom though ?
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
i clean flash at the first time and dirty flash try to fix the sim cards problem

did you flash any gapps? if you did what gapps version? i wonder how you don't have same issue like me
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] lacoongame:
Thank you very much for building a good Rom.

Does this rom support both Redmi Note 2 (16GB / Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53) and Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB / Octa-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53)
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
i'm using GApps from https://opengapps.org/

deleted messaging app since i use one from google instead of the default one. deleted gallery app to replace it with asus' gallery and i'm using substratum to theme. my instagram is no longer having stutters or some sort. i downloaded the play store version app from another site and chose version 139.0.0.33.121
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] Kinderjoy:
works on my redmi note 2 16gb despite there are some bugs

what Gapps variant are you using? maybe the problem came from mindgapps that i flashed. want to clean flash again with the same Gapps as yours

recently i installed mobile legends and having problem with the sound, it's like the sound is stuttering
[Redmi Note 2 Android Development] PapaMoZ:
ARM64 8.1 Micro. i do have some sound problem in real racing, but luckily i don't have any of that in the other games. perhaps you could try to turn off mobile legends' battery optimisation though
