Yes, i remember, the last one for the P2 comes in December and i went to LOS with the second official build available in spring

I hope they will think about. Updating phones is a complex business due to the SOC's "internal" firmware. But google has some resources ($$$ :-) ) We will see what happens. I think i will go with the new 2022 LOS based on aAndroid12 in early summer at latest.

Thx to Mr.razorloves for keeping the P3's alive !

Recently I bought a Pixel3 and have been enjoying this ROM. But I found Pixel ROM's forces DRC (Dynamic Range Control, or simply compression) and resampling to 48kHz on all audio outputs (USB DAC, bluetooth, etc.), especially for music streaming services.

If you feel something distorted or bad in audio output, please try USB SampleRate Changer on the fly I'm making. It helps to avoid DRC and resampling distortions for not only USB DAC, but bluetooth earphones and AirMusic (a DLNA convertor).

Hello, is anyone having issues with trebuchet and nova launcher? When i swipe for hime it keeps going to Trebuchet instead of Nova. Nova is set as the default home app. I installed with opengapps nano on blueline.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] droidbot1337:
one or twice after each update i get this. i usually just go into nova settings and make sure nova is the default launcher. i also freeze trebuchet, reboot then unfreeze trebuchet and reboot. it fixes the issue with trebuchet setting itself ans the default launcher. hope that helps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appye:
heh ... doing that makes nova survive as the default across subsequent reboots? I'll try that. It's too bad we can't just freeze or uninstall trebuchet or altogether.

EDIT: Didn't work. After every reboot, I still have to go into settings, set nova as the default, go back into settings and force stop trebuchet. Nova works fine until the next reboot, then I have to go through the same dance again.

How about GCam on this ROM? Is it possible to install it from playstore or is a modded version necessary? Which GApps are needed?

Best regards.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
I install GCam from the play store. I don't know if any specific GApps are needed, but I am using open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210807.

Since the last few weeklies, I've noticed something odd. The phone boots normally and prompts for my password. After I enter the password it resumes booting, almost as if it was entering a boot loop. But that second boot is quick, it prompts for a password again and all is well.

It's only a minor inconvenience but I haven't seen anyone else ask about this and I was wondering if anyone else is seeing it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
I haven't seen it, but I don't update weekly. My last update was the Aug. 24 build.

The night sight google camera issue has finally been fixed. The new blueline/crosshatch builds that just came out have the fix. :)

Also, wifi display (miracast) has been added into lineage 18 and is now enabled on our device. (y)

To turn it on go to settings -> connected devices -> connection preferences -> cast, then tap 3dot menu and check box.

I followed all instructions and when I sideload any gapps package it says insufficient storage in the system partition. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Seriel:
After flashing the ROM, you need to select "Reboot to Recovery" and flash gapps after it reboots back to recovery. This is covered on the LineageOS installation guide.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zimral.xda:
Taking my dev walleye yesterday, i had a look for A12, and ...it was offered to upgrade. I had some time so i started the download and did a reboot. It doesnt look that bad, but i have to play with it over the next days/weeks depending on my job schedule. I discovered some inconsistencies with my current apps installed via APKPure.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] XxM4tzexX:
I already updated to stock Android 12 but i don' t like it very much.

Can i downgrade with just installing this rom or do i have to downgrade officially with the Android flash Tool and flash stock Android 11 and then Install this rom?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zimral.xda:
i recommend going back to the latest stock A11 from google DL pages flash this one and then flash LOS18.1 again as a "clean install". From my experiences (with other phones too) this is the best practice. And finally going to the next (A12 based) LOS you should do the upgrade to stock A12 again before that to have the latest vendor firmware "parts" including modem software. confused?

So if you are at P3's stock A11 you can:

1.) upgrade to stock A12 now or later, use that a while until LOS19x comes out in spring 2022. Before installing LOS19 make sure that you have the latest stock patches applied. Then goto LOS19 using the usual procedures as described in the (new) LOS19 wiki article.

2.) make sure you have the latest A11 version installed. Then goto LOS18.1. If LOS19 is availiable upgrade from LOS18.1 to LOS19 using the standard procedures (--> wiki)

For my personal usage i think its is wasted time to go to LOS18.1 with my current productive Pixel3 now. i am now on stock A12 with my dev/test phone. i will play a little bit with this one and maybe i will use it as my daily driver for the next few months. Then i take my former prod phone and install LOS18.1 as long as this is available as the official LOS release. After LOS19 is avail i will upgrade to LOS19 coming from LOS18.1, and use this one as my daily driver again. This is the most efficient way to run that migration without doing complete flashes "forward" and "backward" including all their associated possible risks. And i will have a new and an actual version to play with.

I am running a similar procedure with my Samsung klte's for several years now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zimral.xda:
Some comments regarding the new A12, hope this is not OT so far :) .

I dont like this new (modern?) "flat" design. All buttons are round now and you cant change them. Normally i choose the square ones with rounded corners similar to the IOS look - but beware i will never use IOS!!! :cool: I hope the LOS developers will be able to provide different GUI buttons with the new LOS19. The theme based colours can be set back to "normal" i dont like this either. Phone seems to be responsive as usual, the P3 is still delivering a very good performance. Mine will not be that much representative as i removed nearly all of the google stuff except the basic "play services". So my P3 was much faster now and has less battery drain, my usage is still too short to be able to compare this. To be honest i forgot to note the memory usage before the upgrade - forgot that.... :-(

Will device stay rooted after OTA updates?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
It will stay rooted if the full Magisk package was installed. If you just patched the boot.img file, it will not stay rooted.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] klemi71:
You are talking about renaming Magisk to zip and flashing it from recovery?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
Yes, that is one way to install the full package. Root will be retained after OTA if you do that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] klemi71:
So the monthly update if you want to have Gapps and magisk?

Reboot to lineage os recovery, flash rom, flash Gapps, flash magisk? Is it possible to flash all 3 in one process like it is in TWRP?

Did you reboot to recovery after flashing LOS and before trying to flash any add-ons, such as Gapps, as specified in the LOS installation instructions?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PrometheusLens:
I am a newb that read this thread. I recently got a Pixel 3XL which has A9 on it. OEM Unlocked, USB Debugging, and Bootloader unlocked are all good to go. But when I flash the LOS 18.1 image from the Lineage website I get an error booting boot.img. At this point going into recovery mode is not worth it because it just loops. I know I am missing something. My questions are:

1) do I need to update my A9 to the A10 or newer rom?

2) do I use the boot.img mentioned in this thread instead of the LOS one?

3) if the first two are a no, then what am I missing?

Hi all,

This is my first post here so I hope it is helpful. I hope I can help contribute to the community and answer some questions - But first, I must post here with my own. Apologies.

Description of Issue:

Stuck in the boot loader. Displays the following:

Device State - Error

Reason - Failed to load verify boot images

What I did:

Got my Pixel 3 today, tried to flash lineage os using this guide, https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/blueline/install

Everything was working perfectly until the device restarted. Now I can't get into the OS

What I tried (troubleshooting):

I tried to do a flash-all and restore the original image, but I get this error: FAILED (remote: 'error getting device locked state No Response')
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] supachris:
Did you re-lock the bootloader after install of LOS?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LargeElephant:
I did not, hence my confusion ):
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LargeElephant:
Hi, just thought I would update the thread for anyone who runs into the same issue as I have. Allowing the phone to die repeatedly, then leaving it for a good 24 hours, must have re-set the memory or something. Instead of booting into the bootloader and saying "error", it went back to "unlock" and allowed me to flash Andrioid 11 (stock software) using https://flash.android.com/release/11.0.0

Thank goodness :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] supachris:
Hi experienced users,

Due to the end of Google's support I'm thinking about switching to LOS 18.1 now. Is there any drawback comparing to stock ROM? Is the excellent camera working as before? The good stereo sound and stable Bluetooth also?

Thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
I haven't seen any drawbacks. You can use either the Google camera app from the Play Store, or the LineageOS one. Bluetooth is stable. I don't use the stereo feature, so can't comment.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rlotze:
I've noticed no change in camera, speakers, or Bluetooth. Two weeks ago I installed this for the same reason. After install if you then install the lawnchair launcher and then standard Google apps (phone, contacts, camera, etc) I think you'll notice very little change from Android 11 on pixel 3. Its easy to forget you're using a custom ROM.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BloodMist:
lmfao wut? los19 comes out in spring 2022?! dayum thats a lot
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LargeElephant:
The battery life on the stock rom is average at best. Is there a way to lock the bootloader on LineageOS? I want to use it for the improved battery life, but I am anxious about the device being compromised should someone have physical access to it. Anyone have any thoughts?

Very interesting article.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zimral.xda:
Not sure what language this is but the phones maintainer need some time to take the new AOSP version, do some programming and adapt this to the phone. This needs time. Please be aware that a typical Samung stock Android user is waiting alot of months too to receive a new Android version. If he ever will receive it! I am personally got screwed with Samsungs behavior to handle updates, so at the end of the day i will NEVER EVER buy a new Samsung phone. I am moving to use only Google/Pixel phones in the near future either with removed google apps or pure LOS roms (without gapps). I am still using A12 on my both Pixel3 and LOS 18.1 on a Pixel2 and on a Samsung klte. I am just selling all of my Samsungs to buy a used Pixel 5 cause i like this phone - my wife has one. Therefore be patient and you will receive a well working LOS19.x next spring :cool:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BootloopedMillennials:

Android 9 came out in August 6, 2018. Los16 came out in March 1, 2019.

Android 10 came out in September 3, 2019. Los17.1 came out in April 1, 2020.

Android 11 came out in September 8, 2020. Los18.1 came out in April 1, 2021.

Android 12 came out in October 4, 2021. Los19 out in around May 1, 2022?

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zimral.xda:
Yep, 100% agree with this. The Trebuchet should stay as it is. Point. BTW, for me LOS is THE stock Android. I dont like the "material design" either. There were not many changes in the Apps colours for me. My main complaint is the presentation of the GUI, i dont like the round buttons, i prefer the square ones with round corners. Ok, I cleaned most of google stuff ("pm uninstall" etc) and i use the APKPure repository, and i can live with that until LOS 19 hit the street next year :cool:

Seeking advice and/or links for two issues:

1. Google Pay (contactless)

I'm passing SafetyNet with the below, but Google Pay still reports "not set up" and "phone doesn't meet security requirements". I'm on the old app, but I don't think the new app was any better. Is the SQL fix still required? I've seen the same results while running that as well.

2. AdAway with systemless hosts

LOS 18.1 appears to be affected by this bug. Is anyone running systemless hosts and AdAway with success?

- latest LOS 18.1 nightly

- Magisk canary installed (23015)

- Zygisk enabled

- DenyList on with apps selected

- Universal SafetyNetFix 2.2.0 installed

- MagiskHideProps 6.1.2 installed w/ Pixel 3 Android 11 fingerprint selected

- Magisk app hidden

p.s. anyone have success flashing/sideloading Magisk canary 23015 so that it survives OTA updates? I've only been able to patch a boot image.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahoyboyhoy:
Found an answer for this one, sideload installer is unified with the apk, you just rename the extension. Very cool!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
1. Did you clear Google Pay cache? I have no problems with Google Pay, but I just use it for loyalty cards, not for payment. My configuration is:

Magisk stable v23.0

Universal SafetyNet Fix v1.2.0

MagiskHideProps 6.1.2

Magisk app not hidden

No SQL fix

2. AFAIK, LOS does not have the F2FS bug. I am running LOS blueline Nov. 16 build with systemless hosts with no problems. I don't have AdAway, but I had the F2FS bug before I switched to LOS, and did not have AdAway then either. Before moving to LOS, I used the Kirisakura kernel to resolve the F2FS problem. I've been on LOS for 6 months with no F2FS issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mogul345:
Hey everyone, running into a strange issue with Google Play Services on my Pixel 3.

I followed the installation instructions, and I chose MindTheGApps as my GApps during install. I also installed the Fi addon b/c I'm on Google Fi. Finally, I've also installed Magisk, but the current stable version and I've done nothing to fix the failing SafetyNet. Unsure if this matters though. And I've double checked, Play Services is on the latest version in the store.

Every production app I've downloaded from the store or sideloaded seems to work without problems. But I'm having a problem with debug builds of the app I work on for a living, all of a sudden. I keep getting this strange system dialog, and I can't tell where it's coming from (see attached screenshot). And I can see in logcat, that I'm getting SERVICE_INVALID for a couple subsystems of Play Services - location and Firebase Auth. Here's a dump from logcat (package name replaced for privacy, and truncated some logs I believe are unrelated):

Our app does use fusedlocationprovider and firebase auth for 3rd party auth. We also do include SafetyNet in the build, but we don't actually do anything with it (we just log to our internal analytics pass/fail). And even before I installed LOS I was failing SafetyNet with my rooted stock ROM and the debug builds worked fine, so pretty sure that's not the issue.

Any ideas? Should I have used OpenGApps?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahoyboyhoy:
Yeah, I've cleared the cache and uninstalled, etc. Strange thing is that despite the messages in app, I've been able to use Google Pay for OMNY (NYC public transit) just today, so maybe it's a non-issue?

As for the freeze on boot, you have a Pixel 3 or XL? It could be something other than the bug I linked to, but on multiple system installs of 18.1 with wipes, I've reproduced a freezing system moments after boot unlock 100% of the time when systemless hosts is enabled and AdAway installed (haven't tested those two in isolation).
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
I have a Pixel 3. You didn't mention it was freezing on boot. That was not the symptom I had - it was just random freezes, not on boot.

You can get ad blocking without systemless hosts or AdAway by using the AdGuard DNS servers. https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-dns-new-addresses.html Also, change your Private DNS to dns.adguard.com.

Another alternative is to use the Steven Black hosts file with systemless hosts. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

On the page it say its not recommended... It's possible linage caters for people who want to flash magisk as a zip? im not game to try it yet but damn it's annoying re-patching the boot image each update

installing Magisk through custom recoveries on modern devices is no longer recommended. If you face any issues, please use the Patch Image method
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahoyboyhoy:
I flashed the zip with no problems after having already patched the boot img. I had previously purchased Franco Kernel Manager app which includes a flasher, so I actually used that rather than the LOS recovery and adb sideload. I have yet to receive an OTA update to know whether Magisk will survive though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahoyboyhoy:
Yeah, I haven't got back to debugging hosts yet, but I may try grabbing a hosts file for Steven Black if it's only a problem with AdAway. Thanks for the suggestions

And more data for G Pay, I was able to pay contactless again yesterday at a restaurant with a PayPal account linked to a business credit card, so that's good.
