I have sometimes the issue that I can't re-open apps which I put in the background before. If I want to switch back to the app by taping on it in the recent apps viewer the screen just stays gray. I have to close the app entirely by swiping it up in the recent apps viewer to get it open again. Has someone the same problem, especially with Telegram Messenger?
[Pixel C Android Development] jshepherd1507:
Hello,

Could someone please tell me the steps to install this on my Pixel C?
[Pixel C Android Development] BeerMit:
Hey there, currently running PixelExperience10 on my C as I type this. Been using it for over a year now and pretty pleased with it. But I'm curious, can I flash an 11 build over my 10 build or is it more advisable to do a wipe then install?

Sorry if its a dumb question but its been a minute siunce I last did this.
[Pixel C Android Development] MorbidBrain:
The ROM has some serious bugs (see #32, e.g.). My recommendation is to stay on Android 10 till they are fixed.
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
New build is up with January security patches. Please note that PE11 is still in beta so bugs are expected and will be fixed in upcoming builds.
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
Why the 3.18.140 Unified Dragon Kernel was replaced by the older 3.18.0 in this build???
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
I was working on a different branch so I probably made a mistake, thanks for letting me know. I will make a new build and upload it tomorrow.

Edit: Uploaded
[Pixel C Android Development] justinmeese:
Not sure what the proper way to submit found bugs, so my apologies if this isn't the correct way.

1) When casting from an app like HBO max for example, the system casts just fine. However, when you go to the quick pulldown menu and choose to screen cast your device to another device on your network it fails. It almost does like a quick reboot where the Google logo comes back up on the screen. Maybe the Google service is crashing and restarting... not sure but I am able to reproduce it regularly. I notice that the device I am casting to the screen goes blank for a moment and then hangs for a bit until the tablet comes back up and a few more seconds pass. Not sure if that is of any help.

2) When configuring Routines in the Home app I have found that when choosing "Adjust lights, plugs , and more" in the "This Routine will" section... the "Done" button doesn't stay at the bottom of the screen but instead stays over the top of your lists of plugs, lights and other devices. I have attached an image to demonstrate this one since it's a bit harder to describe.
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
I will check this but unfortunatly I don't have any bluetooth keyboard to reproduce the issue. Is it possible to provide me a logcat?

I would like to wait and see if this issue is still present in the stable branch of PE.

Sorry for the late answer, your message got lost :) It's always advised to do a clean instal when upgrading to a major version.

1. I will try to reproduce this. Could you start logging (adb logcat > log.txt) and reproduce, then send me the log file please?

2. I would like to wait and see if this issue is still present in the stable branch of PE.

Is anyone else having issues with 60fps videos in YouTube feeling juddery? 30fps videos play just fine, but 60fps (regardless of if it is 720p60 or 1080p60) feels more like I am watching something at 20fps
[Pixel C Android Development] justinmeese:
I did my best to reduce the size of the log file you had to parse through. This should just be a few minutes from the time I start the logcat to the point where the device fails to cast and then does that quick reboot sequence. After that is completed I unplugged the tablet from the PC.

I noticed a couple of lines in the log that jumped out as possible flags, but I am not an expert in this so I will leave it to the pro's.

** UPDATE ** having issue uploading the log. I have attached a link to where it can be pulled.

Is it possible to activate double tap to wake in this ROM? If yes, how?
[Pixel C Android Development] Chewza:
Flashed this last week and it's been great for the most part.

I am having one issue with the Twitch app playing streams at 1080p 60fps.

When loading the 1080p60 stream the frame will update once or twice and then get stuck.

The stream hasn't froze from a data perspective because I can still hear the audio on the stream.

Changing the stream to 720p60 does not have the same issue.
[Pixel C Android Development] PandaVoyageur:
Laggy 1080p60 comes from current change "+ Switched to SW codecs for now to fix video playback in chrome" (which was in fact the change that motivated me to update from 10 to 11, to get videos back in twitter, news sites, etc).

In the meantime yes, workaround is going down to 720p60 in apps like Youtube/Twitch
[Pixel C Android Development] Zapablast05:
Wireless display seems to cause a reboot every time I try to connect to my TV. I can't seem to be able to upload the logcat so I took a screen shot. As you can see, the Pixel C attempts the connection before the reboot. I'm still on the on the 20201224 build. I'll update to the newest since I see there's an update and see if it's still having issues.

Edit: I see @justinmeese is having similar issues casting to a display. I also uploaded my log to Drive to share here.

Sorry for the late replies all, I will check the logs and messages next week. I have my final examn on monday so after that I will have free time again. :)
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
Thank you for your efforts and good luck for your exams!
[Pixel C Android Development] Renegade_Rulez:
I really wanted the gesture navigation I was used on my phone and this works really well on this build.

I had some slowdown when multitasking and chrome, but after I did the update for chrome it seems fine for me.

Thanks for this build!
[Pixel C Android Development] ReVaNzz:
Fast and smooth, I'm coming from Pixel Experience 10 and I can realize the improvement and the fixed bugs.

So far the only bug I have been able to spot is the Screen Cast feature, it does just simply not work... does not detect my TV (my other Android devices can detect it really quickly). :confused:

Apart of this, the experience is really really good for a 2016 tablet and I want to thank the original Pixel Experience staff and the porter/s of this OS to our beloved tablet. ❤
[Pixel C Android Development] bc Yume:
Has anyone had success in setting horizontal wallpaper?
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
I had a talk with @followmsi about the screencast feature. It seems that this has been taken out of android by google since pie (9.0) already. We need to patch the framework to bring this feature back although this has not been tested on 11 yet. If this truely is a much requested feature ill give it a shot to port it to 11 after PE releases their stable builds in march.

I had to reinstall my build enviroment so a new build with the feb security patch will be uploaded soon.

EDIT: New build up
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
One question: Is SELinux enforced or permissive in this build?
[Pixel C Android Development] wqhjstudios:
oh man. how in the world did you manage to get the custom 'PixelExperience.." to flash onto the C? and you had it working? i hate to be a pest, but can you direct me to some resources that would help me get to where you are in your phase of pixel c development?
[Pixel C Android Development] al bee:
thank you for all your hard work - i appreciate it. It has resurrected the pixel C into use again for me.
[Pixel C Android Development] m+a+r+k:
I can't see Ambient Mode in Google Assistant settings.

Any reason why not?
[Pixel C Android Development] emptybot:
the screen record makes device restart, and the location does not work,too
[Pixel C Android Development] michaave:
Using moonlight for game streaming, but it says this ROM doesn't support hardware accelerated video decoding (or really similar verbiage). I tried steam link too, but it would hang every second or so. Just lacking a codec maybe?
[Pixel C Android Development] Suavie103:
yeah i tried it and confirm it does restart the device.
[Pixel C Android Development] Suavie103:
has anyone successfully been able to resize p.i.p video sizes running 11 pixel experience rom?
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
Build with this months security patch will be delayed. I'm rebuilding the entire dragon device tree from scratch and implementing shield stuff.

Upcoming build will be stable PE11.
[Pixel C Android Development] Zapablast05:
Hey sorry it's been a while. What I did was follow only part of the instructions in the Pixel C General subforum: https://xdaforums.com/t/...covery-and-root-the-pixel-c-2-4-2016.3307183/

I essentially installed the fastboot drivers and used the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit. Within the Wugfresh tool, I followed the guide from start to end including installing the newest version of TWRP offered in the tool kit (this is temporary). For the ROM install, I left the stock unlocked ROM.

---The following process is a blurred memory after much troubleshooting---

I booted back into the Pixel C and downloaded the latest version of TWRP. I booted into recovery and flashed the latest version of TWRP. Now, if this method doesn't work then you might have to reboot into fastboot and push the new TWRP version. I can't recall which method I used because I spent about a week trying to find a working ROM and a working method.

---------------

After I successfully booted into the stock unlocked ROM, I downloaded @michie's PE ROM, and flashed via TWRP. I did a factory wipe in TWRP before flashing the ROM, then wiped dalvik/cache after the flash process completed. First boot took a bit but ended up successfully booting. I finished up the process by flashing Magisk and called it a day
[Pixel C Android Development] MorbidBrain:
Any news?
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
It's a slow proces but ill make a build with the old tree anyway of their stable branch in the coming days

Edit: New build is up
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
The issue with the laggy Gapps disappeared for me after I flashed this new build. Can anyone confirm this with his device too?
[Pixel C Android Development] Ayman171:
i just noticed that the new build includes google dialer and google messages which is not necessary for tablet?
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
Yeah, I will remove them in the next update. I need to manually exclude them every time I use a new build environment, very annoying... Sometimes I forget :)
[Pixel C Android Development] MorbidBrain:
No, there are still lags when Chrome is started by another app. Nevertheless the performance is better as the HW acceleration seems to be turned on (with the known issues.)
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
In case of Chrome, you are right. But the Play Store and YouTube does not have the lags anymore. They are opening almost instantly.

I have faced another issue: While at lock screen, my Pixel C does not turn into portrait mode. It stays in landscape mode. This is very annoying as I have to turn the tablet every time I want to type in the unlock password as I'm usually holding it like my smartphone. After unlock the automatic rotation works perfectly.

@michie Are you also planning to switch to 4.4 kernel?
[Pixel C Android Development] b1ggjoe:
@michie,

Just installed this ROM a few days ago. Came from this ROM here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unoffic...-0-2-dragon-gt-20190624-discontinued.3595764/

Bro, your ROM is awesome! Period. I almost gave up on my Pixel C...but it now has new life!!

A few quick questions:

- Right now, the Tablet is Un-Rooted. What is the recommended way to root this Tablet running your ROM?

- Also I'm currently running an older version of TWRP 3.2.3-0. Can you point me to a newer version of TWRP that you recommend for this device? My backups are failing with the infamous "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255". However, before I begin to troubleshoot this, thought I would begin with upgrading TWRP.

- One feature that Google screwed us over with, was the ability to be able to use a bluetooth headset to make calls with the Pixel C over the internet (eg., Google Voice, WhatsApp, etc). I'm not sure the exact feature they limited, but I know it's been a common issue with many of the past custom ROMs for this device. As in, I don't believe this feature is even enabled with the Stock ROM.

As far as you're aware, is there any way to get this fixed?

Basically, I can have a bluetooth headset paired and connected, and have no audio issues listening to YouTube videos, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, YouTube TV and etc.

Even Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams meetings work perfectly.

But the minute I try to make a phone call via Google Voice or WhatsApp...when the call connects, it's like the bluetooth headset no longer works and I can only listen to the call via the Tablet speakers and when I speak, it only picks up my voice through the main Tablet mic.

Thank you in advance!!

BJ
[Pixel C Android Development] Lostprophet85:
Up until Android 9 I solved this problem with root by editing the build.prop file like described here:

How to enable Lock screen rotation in Android 4.3 and 4.4

If you own a phone or tablet with Android 4.3 or 4.4, you might be facing the issue that your lock screen does not support rotation. I noticed this when I

winaero.com

I cannot comment on whether this still works in Android 11 as I stopped using lock screens years ago. If you have root, I would give that a try.
[Pixel C Android Development] Suavie103:
can exceed kernel be used with this?
[Pixel C Android Development] RacerX29er:
THANK YOU for this PE build! I LOVE my Pixel C, but I've grown increasingly uneasy with the lack of security updates for stock Android 8. I really like the Dragon build, particularly the inclusion of face recognition since Pixel C doesn't have a fingerprint reader.

The only MINOR issue I've encountered thus far is Play Store's insistence that Disney+ and Netflix are incompatible with the device, both of which worked fine when running Android 8. This may be related to embedded code that causes some applications to detect the tablet as a Pixel 5 (?!?!).

Fortunately I had no problem installing and running D+ and NF using versions from the Aptoide repository. Meanwhile, HBO Max, Paramount+, PBS Passport, and Prime Video installed without incident from Play Store. Go figure...
[Pixel C Android Development] cdaley:
Thanks for the work on the ROM!! I'm having an issue since updating to the newest version. If I try to root with Magisk, I can install the .apk but when I get to the part where I patch the image, it crashes. If I click on 'patch a boot image' it tries to open the old Android files app (the logo displays), a toast notification says to select a tar or img file, but then it quickly crashes. I had it rooted with the previous PE release. I'm trying to patch the boot.img through Magisk so I can install via TWRP as I've always done. Any ideas?? I've cleared cache/data/uninstalled. UNinstallled Webiew updates (someone suggested this could be an issue). Same result. Thanks!!
[Pixel C Android Development] calling_xda:
Just installed this on my Pixel C which was rooted and running a custom ROM several years ago but has been stock since then. Fastboot from a Windows 10 laptop was used to install the latest version of TWRP for the Pixel C. Then TWRP was used for factory reset and ROM installation. The Pixel C got hung at this point, not rebooting to the OS. After a reboot to TWRP, another factory reset, and reinstallation of the ROM, it is running well. After confirming that, the latest version of the Magisk .zip file was installed using TWRP. There was no problem with that either. This is a really nice upgrade to Android 8.1. Thanks for all your efforts.
[Pixel C Android Development] a8ksh4:
You shouldn't need to patch the boot image ahead of time to install it in magisk. I think the boot image thing is only it you're going to flash that from fastboot. Just change the extension of the magisk package to .zip, install it from twrp, then reboot and install the apk. Should be all good after that.
[Pixel C Android Development] -=CRANK=-:
Thank you for great work!

It works) but why Chrome launch so slowly?

In PE 10 it works much faster

And one more bug (?) - in Google account devices it's named Pixel 5 :)
[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:
Great rom.
[Pixel C Android Development] haabingaa:
Hello,

So this rom runs great but I am noticing that the built in file manager (not Files by Google but the Android File Manager) crashes on launch. This is hindering my ability to, for example, install a trusted SSL certificate from the "Settings > Security > Encryption > Install a Certificate" menu. Any chance there is either a side-loadable update or the chance of a patch being available in your next build?

Speaking of next build, when can we expect one? I'm loving it and am looking forward to further updates. The Pixel C was axed too soon in my opinion and you're breathing new life into this thing.
[Pixel C Android Development] bc Yume:
You can try disabling the system file manager and use a third-party file manager (for example, MiXplorer) instead to mitigate the problem for now.

That's what I'm doing currently.
[Pixel C Android Development] Vartom:
Disable Vulkan in Chrome!

Run test 3D Mark API Overhead for checking Vulkan.
[Pixel C Android Development] book_devil:
Thank you for your reply
[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:

[Pixel C Android Development] Suavie103:
Same issue, all you have to do is update the files app. Here the link https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/files-6/files-6-aml_doc_301800104-release/
[Pixel C Android Development] veitograf:
Disabling Vulkan sadly did not improve my chrome startup :(
[Pixel C Android Development] jaimbo:
Anyone experiencing an issue with this ROM causing their Pixel C to get really warm and drain the battery incredibly quickly? It was running fine for a while but now it doesn't even last a day of idling off the charger before dying.
[Pixel C Android Development] mrbubba999:
I've not noticed it myself.

I am having issues with YouTube, the video is slower than the audio
[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:
Brills, it's a nice update

Well done
[Pixel C Android Development] mrbubba999:
Flashed the latest update and my YouTube issue is sorted, nice update
[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:

[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:
How annoying to post such a stupid log rather than attach as a file. Talk about spamming a thread
[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:

[Pixel C Android Development] ecotrojan:
Brilliant update
[Pixel C Android Development] _benedict_:
Hi!

I am very much interested in this ROM. A quick question though: can one uninstall (not disable) one or several included Google apps?
[Pixel C Android Development] BeniS98:
@michie Will there be a new build with the latest security patches?
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
My disk is full with the builds for 4.9 kernel so at the moment I'm not able to do a new build. Nothing has changed on device side since the last update so for now it's not really worth it anyway apart from the security patches.
[Pixel C Android Development] siavash79:
Thanks for the great ROM! I've been using PE on my tablet since forever and I've been always happy.

Though I'm facing a weird issue on the 11 to which I don't know the solution:

USB is always shown as connected, even if it's unplugged. Also, USB operations such as adb and storage don't work at all.

This happened right after I installed 11 and patched magisk
[Pixel C Android Development] CurbThePain:
I don't know if anyone has said anything yet but 5ghz wifi doesn't work. No 5ghz networks showed up no matter what I did.

[Pixel C Android Development] DuneBug:
More good news, casting to Chromecast now works great again! Looks like this has been fixed with the April upgrade!
[Pixel C Android Development] WilcoSnel:
I'm currently still on the January beta build. Only annoying problem I have is auto brightness not working. Is this working in the latest April update? And if so, can I just flash the update? Or will I lose stuff then?
[Pixel C Android Development] b1ggjoe:
Hey Everyone!

Quick question:

Tablet has been running beautifully for about a year now.

All of a sudden it's running dreadfully slow. Even after multiple reboots?

Any recommendations (clear caches or dirty re-flash)?

Thanks!
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
When mine slows down, I usually close all running apps and boot to twrp, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. I guess you can reflash the rom and gapps clean if that dosn't work.
[Pixel C Android Development] b1ggjoe:
Yeah, I did wipe the cache and dalvik cache and rebooted...and it did make a difference. I'm wondering if a dirty re-flash would be even more helpful? 👀
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Wait a few days. The September update will be out. Maybe do a clean flash, if a dirty falsh dosn't help you.
[Pixel C Android Development] b1ggjoe:
Aaah ok, like full out wiping data and everything?
[Pixel C Android Development] Sehe:
Does this rom fully support the magnetic Keyboard?
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
I'm not sure that this rom is still being supported. I've been using @followmsi's Leinage OS 16.1 A11 builds for Dragon.

Regarding your question, I don't know exactly what you mean by "fully support." But I'm typing using the magneic keyboard and it's been working well for me for over a year.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, but I don't know if this Rom is still supported. I have been using Lineage OS 18.1 A11 build by @followmsi for more than a year.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
Last build posted in April 2021.
[Pixel C Android Development] Sehe:
Thank you for your answer. I was concerned the experience was somewhat different with a custom rom, especially the behavior of connecting to the pixel c when it is attached.
[Pixel C Android Development] WilcoSnel:
Just did a dirty flash. Had to set up Magisk from scratch to get safety net working again. But all is fine. Still seems like the auto brightness is not working. The slider is also still not functioning properly. It seems the lower threshold is not set up correctly. If set to lower then 10% the screen is just totally blacked out.
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
These are the types of issues you need to speak to the developer. However I don't think this Rom is currently supported. You probably would be better off switching to lineage OS 18.1 gets monthly updates and is fully supported.
[Pixel C Android Development] WilcoSnel:
That's why I put it on here. As stated in OP. I don't like Lineage OS. Hence I'm using this ROM
[Pixel C Android Development] Alxoom33:
That's fine. But don't expect any support.
[Pixel C Android Development] michie:
I will upload a new build today or tomorrow

Edit: Build is up
[Pixel C Android Development] nnirvana:
Wow, look forward to your new build! Keep up the good work.
[Pixel C Android Development] Lestat1977:

[Pixel C Android Development] thetample:
Not sure if it's an old issue but it bugs out every time whenever I try to access an external USB (Latest version). tbh didn't need to use external drive that much it's just something noticed during restoring apps and files. In TWRP it's perfectly fine though.
[Pixel C Android Development] TianMo:
