I read it but unfortunately it didn't really go into details on the launchers used, or stock/LOS ROM, or the "missing" icon/shortcuts (other than things like web links). Custom links and map shortcuts are not meant to be backed up with normal Android means, so they wouldn't be saved. The problem is I don't understand what you are losing, other than custom shortcuts that should/would be lost (as they are custom), plus it looks as though this is a STOCK firmware issue (but we are on LOS) and I have never had this issuer so something else is causing it, but not NOVA or Google backups.

The link you sent doesn't really line up with what I expected to see/read/find. For example, I had expected to see something along the lines of a bug post, Jira comment, GitHub tracked event, something bug related (with ROOT cause / solution), but not a random loss of custom shortcuts made on a stock firmware.

I don't really know what to say (because I cannot grasp what you are doing and losing based on what I have in front of me). I still do not think this is NOVA related, or Google backup related. Those do what they should for me, so I can see both apps 100% work as they should for me on my side, so I have to assume its something else going on because I cannot reproduce it (or find anything online as a tracked bug). I only find random bits of custom made things that are lost, but who the hell knows what was done, or setup, not setup, backed up, or not backed up, ETC., this to me feels user related (meaning its probably coming from something we are doing to cause it but not system related).

I installed this ROM and i am super happy so far. However: My PayPal app (newest version crashes, older ones work just fine) crashes when trying to open the app.

I cant install Netflix via Playstore, as it says "incompatible device". I guess thats because of an unlocked bootloader? Same for PayPal probably.

My question:

Could i fix these issues with Magisk? If so, how do i install it now?

Sorry, thats my first custom ROM in ages :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yes you can fix both, your problem is safetynet and Google play seeing it as uncertified. Fix safetynet, then wipe play store data, reboot, try again and it will work. The key here is SAFETYNET, you must pass SN to get NF (and those types of SN checked apps) to show up as compatible once passing SN.

Install LSPosed (zygote), then install the universal SAFETYNETFix, then wipe Play store data, reboot, test SN and give it an hour (maybe less l and NF will popup. The trick is SN passing, and being seen as certified in Play:

Just so everyone is aware, I've moved to LOS 19.1 as my DD and won't be back to any other ROM as my DD (except when helping a user), otherwise I'll be solely on LOS Android 12 going forward.

I'm posting this in the forums I usually help in so ignore the duplicates.

Official LOS stopped 18.1 a while back, hence no DLs, move to 19.1, its flawless and updated weekly. Its my DD for most of my pixel's true use (meaning I test/try all ROMs) but LOS is my go-to DD (19.1 A12).

FYI though, I did test the unofficial G-Drive link and I could DL it, but its unofficial so use LOS official 19.1 if you want a constantly updated (weekly) ROM:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chairman011:
Love this rom so far so good I'm having two small issues screen rotation gets stuck sometimes and sometimes when I play a game touch screen is non-responsive at times and my Wi-Fi is extremely slow any kernel anybody recommends or did I do something wrong? I'm not new to flashing so I'll doubt I did anything wrong as far as flashing but I like this rom
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chairman011:
I love this ROM however I've had it for about a week started off good but now just random things happen my volume goes up and down randomly rotation and a few other minor things either way it's a fantastic rom thumbs up I love it I'll be going back to Android 10 for the stability but this ROM is probably one of the best ones for this phone Android 11 right now
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KingMike67:
I have a similar issue with the random volume changes. I thought it might be related to the fact that I dirty flashed from the previous version. I am not too familiar with getting a log to report the volume issue. Do I just get a logcat after the volume issue occurs? If anyone can let me know that would be great.

And I couldn't agree more, this is probably the most stable custom A11 ROM thus far.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Yep a logcat as soon as the issue has occurred would be great. I haven't experienced any of these issues myself so I'd love to have a look.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:
i clean flashed and i have zero issues with this rom , its rock stable and have great batterylife !

Lineage OS 18.1 (20/1/21)

January ASB

Fixed inconsistent gapps install behaviour due to virtual a/b

Added the ability to reboot to fastbootd from advanced restart options

Various bug fixes and improvements

Thank you for tolerating the frustrating gapps installation issues on the last build. This substantially delayed this months update but I'm pleased to finally be able to provide one with this fixed. Gapps installation should consistently work now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Donric13:
Thanks for this early 11 build! Just one question: is rhere a possability to set a timer to aod? Didnt find anything in settings or to tweak... (secure settings in tasker or something). Would be nice if we were able to automate something in aod. Activating it the whole time has quite an affect to battery life....

Lineage OS 18.1 (3/2/21)

February ASB

Added support for OpenGapps packages up to full in size

Added support for MindTheGapps for when they are publicly distributed

Added support for addon.d v3

Added additional LiveDisplay options

Added Glove Mode for increased touch sensitivity

Screen Attention, Now Playing and Live Captions now all work out of the box

Fixed spell check on AOSP keyboard

Various minor bug fixes and improvements

EDIT: stock opengapps seems to not work, as it is too big despite OpenGapps thinking it will fit. Packages up to full in size should work fine however.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
Edit: I shouldn't have a keyboard. Went back to the first link and found boot.img so that was my mistake.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
i downloader 02/03 file and tried to adb sideload the update, once done i reboot and go see rom build number and its still on last months..... what ami doing wrong?

edit:

i have upgraded onthis rom before with no problems.... whatever changed from last months rom to this months 02/03 bricked my phone....

i'd say i know my way around roms so i wouldnt say it was user error... once i updated and went to see rom build... it didnt chnage...im starting from scratch again... lets see how this goes
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
It sounds like you've managed to bootloop your phone somehow. It's showing the old build number because you made the phone bootloop and hence it rebooted to the other previously working slot. Make sure you've followed the steps for updating closely. Other users (myself included) have updated without problems. Try using the same gapps you used last month and make sure you remembered to reboot to recovery before you flash gapps. Btw there's a very big distinction between bricking a phone and bootlooping.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
I love Lineage OS and am keen to try this. Sorry for the newbie question but what camera is included? Will I lose camera functionality compared to stock with this rom?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Snap camera is included by default. You can download Google Camera from the Play Store. There isn't any loss of camera functionality or quality.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:

One more question.....is there a good chance that VoLTE will work with my carrier (Telstra Australia)?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
If it works on stock, it should also work on lineage. BTW Australia gang
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
Sorry for the dumb questions but the installation steps say to....

Flash the provided boot.img to both slots (fastboot flash --slot all boot boot.img)

Reboot into recovery and factory reset for initial install

Sideload the latest build of Lineage OS (adb sideload lineage.zip)

Is the "recovery" being referred to the stock recovery? I was under impression that the stock recovery could only be used for stock images, hence the question.

So, is the stock recovery used to flash or do I need to install TWRP or something else? I notice that TWRP is now available for the Pixel 4 XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iisouljaboiii:
Boot.img has the linage recovery which you use to sideload the rom follow the instructions you will be fine
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
Thanks. I got it installed after a couple of false starts. I was running the December update because I didn't want to mess around re-rooting if I updated the stock firmware when prompted and the downloaded boot.img file wasn't compatible with December stock firmware....at least that's how it seemed because after installing boot.img I couldn't boot to recovery.

I flashed the latest (February) stock firmware and had the same issue. I then flashed January's stock firmware, installed boot.img and could then boot to recovery.

This rom is excellent. Kudos to the dev for his hard work.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kris Chen:
Can I confirm with all you guys about the version and security update ?

After flashing lineage-18.1-20210203-UNOFFICIAL-coral.zip, I entered system and had a check!

The ROM version is the same as last one version but the kernel-wise ... shows #76 Wed Feb 3 ...

Is it correct ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
I'm occasionally getting a "Preparing for Setup" notification on my lock screen but when I unlock the phone there is no sign of it or anything that is preparing for setup.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
Which Gapps did you use and did you do a clean flash or dirty?

I'm not experiencing this issue that's why I'm asking. I used Opengapps micro for my clean install.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kris Chen:
I fixed it... All redo from the ground and it shows correct now.

Question: How to flash new version ?

1. Just reboot to recovery mode and use adb sideload to flash new version rom ? Or

2. Still need to flash the new update boot.img and then reboot to recovery mode and use adb sideload to flash

new version rom ?

3. Can data be decrypted when entering recovery mode ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
I used Opengapps nano. This was the first install of the rom and gapps from stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
Is there any way to install Product Sans font?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Try using the unofficial opengapps linked instead. The new test builds appear to have some bugs. If you're only using nano, there is little reason to bother with the bugs on the new test builds.

Lineage OS 18.1 (9/2/21)

Fixed motion photos in Google Camera

Fixed a bug in USAP refill pool logic

Slightly reduced system partition reserved size as only up to OpenGapps full will fit

A few minor bug fixes and improvements
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kris Chen:
Until now, everything is working good.

Question: When will support for motion sense ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
It's proprietary, so not until it's reverse engineered and reimplemented. The implementation used by other ROMs has questionable legality due to licencing issues and wouldn't be accepted into Lineage OS trees for this reason. This is why Active Edge wasn't added to Lineage OS until recently. So it's unknown when / if this will be added into Lineage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] appro77:
Will this version become official at some stage and appear on the LineageOS download site?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
it will when it becomes stable, there are some things that are not working for now, give it at least 2 or 3 months

The March release of this ROM has been absolutely outstanding. Android Auto works with my vehicle using Mindthegapps OOTB, face unlock is fast and battery life is spectacular. This is all I run on my phone now and I appreciate the builds. I hope other users are trying it out!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ruminat0r:
For clarification do I need to install lineage os 17.1 or can i go straight from android 11 to install this rom ? Also if I want to install a custom kernel build is it possible to do that after installing this rom and how? Sorry havent installed a custom rom since my HTC one M8 and Galaxy S2 Active lol.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
You can go straight to LOS 18.1 from Android 11. Follow the instructions in the OP and installing custom kernels is the same way as installing the ROM. From the Lineage recovery you will do the sideloading with the kernel you want to install. Instructions may differ with different custom kernels but the part where you actually flash the kernel is flashed the same way the ROM, Gapps and Magisk are all flashed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ruminat0r:
Ok thanks, someone in the telegram channel was telling me I need to install the march patch factory img of coral from google before installing los 18.1 , asked why and havent got a response yet.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
I'm unsure why as the first step to install LOS is to overwrite the boot.img from March (as seen in the step where you overwrite both slots) with the Lineage Boot image. Because I'm not a dev and have only a moderately competent view of how it works I would say install the March image to your device first and then move to LOS. That way all the tertiary partitions, like the modem, will be updated for the March release. Then you will definitely be ready to go for the March Release of LOS.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ruminat0r:
I am remembering that when I installed a custom rom some years back on my m8 that I may have done that, he doesnt include it in the steps, so one of the devs got back in telegram ; they update all the partitions manually so you can install from boot.img though like you said for most other roms you need to install latest release prior to.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bleh815:
I believe all relevant pieces for upgrading are included in the provided zip. Just flash it and you're good to go.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
They are referring to the March factory firmware, but not the LOS March update (ROM). The ROM (LOS) includes everything needed to run the OS and have service. You just need to be on the right firmware.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MicroMod777:
Is this better than stock and really worth it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
Obviously this is subjective but I think it has all the things that makes stock really good with better battery life and app functionality for me as long as you add the Google packages you need. Also, it's open source LoS so that makes it better in my opinion.

If you're looking for a bunch of extra features like Resurrection Remix or something similar then no, this isn't that. Just a really stable, open-source, stock-like experience having a few extra features with excellent tweaks that translate to a better experience for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MicroMod777:
Does it have the Google call screening?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
It does. I just installed Google Phone from the Play Store, go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps and assign phone to Google Phone. Launch the app and it asked immediately if I wanted to turn it on or it can be found in the Google Phone settings. Using Mindthegapps linked in the OP as the base Gapps install, I don't know if it will work using other Gapps packages.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Official builds are now available for downloading. The migration process from my unofficial builds is as follows:

Download the latest version of Lineage OS and the lineage recovery image for your device from here.

Reboot to bootloader

Flash the recovery image to your boot partition (fastboot flash --slot all boot /path/to/recovery.img)

Reboot into recovery

Flash the official build of Lineage OS (adb sideload lineage.zip)

If you have gapps installed, reboot to recovery again and ensure you flash gapps again before booting into Lineage OS

Reboot your phone and enjoy!

If you are coming from a previous version of Lineage OS, please refer to the wiki.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
Updated from the unofficial builds and all running smoothly.

Thanks for all your work. 👌
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Awesome so no full rebuild needed? I was hoping someone reported this exact note. I usually had issues going from unofficial to official LOS on my 2XL, so I wanted to wait and see how it went for others on the 4XL (this ROM). I'm definitely jumping to LOS 18.1 now that it's official and LOS supported (18.1). The unofficial worked AWESOME so don't get me wrong, but I'm more of an official type guy for my daily drivers. I only tested LOS but will move over shortly from PD11.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bleh815:
Instead of flashing the original recovery in the first place (step 3) and eventually flashing a custom kernel / Magisk later on it works well to go with magisk_patched.img right from the beginning.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nadiros01:
Actually, upon further investigation the assistant is activated in the background, but there is no pop up on the screen. Is this because of the gaps package I chose? Could I flash a different one to have some sort of visual cue that the assistant is running?
