Simply because it is not how it is for me. I edited my APN once after flashing the first time, without a problem. After editing, every one of these MOST VITAL functions worked until next reboot. After each reboot, all I have to do is open APN settings and select my APN again, even though it looks like it already is selected.

Sorry to hear about your issues, they seem strange. I wonder if the difference in experience might be explained by the fact that I flashed the very first release first, and that I've been upgrading OTA twice since then. I take it that you flashed the May update as your first release? Might be worth trying to start anew with the initial release, then upgrade to May update. Something is definitely different between our installs since I can edit and delete APNs without a problem, so might be worth a try.

I just installed the first ever Custom ROM on my Pixel XL. The Camera app just crashes, similar to cstark's newer 8.1 builds. Tried Lineage 18.0 and PixelDust, but seems this one suffices my needs quite nicely and is more stable.

Removed the existing camera using magisk as the app was crashing on startup. For those who are facing the same issue, I found MWP GCam build that works pretty decently except portrait and selfie cam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-MWP/f/dl6/

I am don't know if selfie and portrait can be fixed by rom update, but if you don't use selfie cam a lot this rom is perfect with the MWP Cam.

P.S. I am a noob with Pixel Xl, a lot has changed since I last custom rom-ed my previous android 5 years back.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
Just an Update, as the selfie cam doesn't work, the face unlock doesn't too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
Thanks for the info PixelBoot. Can the default camera app be changed via root explorer, so face unlock might start working?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jalh:
Followed the guide step to step to end up failing the flash @ 0.75 and "error applying update: 28 (Errorcode kdownloadexecutionerror).

Done it several times and ended up at the same spot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
Ugh, the APN issue is killing me. Everything else seems pretty flawless. @PixelBoot is the team aware of this bug? Hopefully a fix can be pushed ASAP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bernielloyd85:
Thanks for the answers! I guess I'll have to resist the itch to upgrade for a bit longer haha. I'm glad it's working out for you though!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ryanfraser38:
Just want to double check, I saw the post that this rom still allows original quality photo back up but does it still register as a pixel 1? I saw people talking about a different ROM and their device show as pixel 3 which means unlimited back up expires next year
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BoomBucks:
After the June update, both Camera & Camera PX crash within seconds of opening. Interestingly, something seems to close the crash message in a split second. I see the white message pop-up, but it closes instantly without having a chance to show the message.

Tried reflashing June zip, clearing data, uninstalling + reinstalling. Doesn't seem to help.

The APN issue from April is still present.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jacktiew:
I didn't face such issue for the camera tho.

Yes, the APN issue is still there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
Looking forward to it... I see an ota update, but does it work or can I dirty flash it as I can't do a clean install as I have work MFA that will break... Unlike others comments I use the rom as a daily driver...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
Just fyi... The apn once set remains unless rebooted, which I hardly do...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jacktiew:
Dirty flash will do. I'm also using it as daily driver.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
This ROM is great but the APN issue is a dealbreaker for me. I tried a fresh wipe/install of the June update and it's still there. A network settings reset fixed the issue, but only until reboot. Same result when in APN settings -> reset to default - only resolves the issue until reboot. I haven't seen any feedback lately despite the monthly updates, so going to have to switch to either stock or try another stable ROM. Hope to return here once it's updated/fixed. Cheers.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daedric:
A single step after every reboot is a dealbreaker ? I have a spoiled battery, my device shuts down on 33%, and reseting the APN is really not so troublesome.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] QuarkZ26:
Data doesn't even work for me, I can text and call, but I see an R instead of LTE and get no data whatsoever. I tried a network reset and it did fix it for a few but eventually quit working shortly after.

I can't even setup APN, not sure if it's been removed or what, but I can't see anything like before where you would put your settings (Verizon).

Any ideas? It's a bummer, now I have to install something else since without wifi, I'm dead in the water...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
Simply, it's a step I don't want to do every day to simply use the phone. Not a deal breaker for everyone, but for me it is. Hopefully it can be fixed soon as I prefer this ROM over others.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daedric:
So, you reboot every day ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
sweet for now im gonna stick with lineage os. Cant afford to format wipe repartition atm. Plus I use my device as my only phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
Yes, I shut down at night daily. Call me old school :D

I think there was a similar issue back in the day on a ROM I put on my old Nexus 4, no idea what the issue was but it was a minor fix for the ROM dev.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
After a month as daily driver, I am happy with the rom... Have tried lineage os and pixel dust... This rom is far cleaner and smoother in all aspects... 1st time installation is surely a pain but, I had OTA update that worked flawlessly... Only issue I have is that the camera is unstable as CStark cam doesn't work and I keep switching between Greatness and MWP Builds... Seems my front cam is dead, so any how looking forward to Pixel 6... Had a very long and good journey with Pixel XL...

APN bug still present for those wondering.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] activadroid:
Failed install on a 32GB Pixel XL. NON TWRP method. Checked log file afterward, and last page of long file shows (6 times): sgdisk: inaccessible or not found. This suggests to me that sgdisk is NOT in android, not on MY Pixel or NOT in the repartition-ogpixel-32gb.zip file from PixelBoot. Can anyone tell me where it is supposed to be, or how I can make the system find it ? or does PixelBoot need to fix the repartition...zip file ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] activadroid:
Above comment was to try to help fix Pixelboots method (easier than TWRP). I just did the TWRP method with non-PLUS version & seems to have installed fine.

Thank-you to all commenters here for their suggestions.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SteQu:
I found an easy way to fix APN settings and internet connection not working.

1. While in the APN settings, click on the three dots in the top right corner to create a new APN setting.

2. Create a profile, name it anything (I named it "Fix"). You can also enter anything in the APN field (I gave "Fix"). Set 4444 as a port. Save the settings by clicking again on the three dots in the corner of the screen.

3. Switch your operator's primary APN to the newly created one, then activate your operator's primary APN again after a few seconds. The data icon should go out and show a momentary disconnection.

4. Ready! (Leave a like or write in a comment if it helped)

Unfortunately, this trick has to be used every time there is an error with the cellular data.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
Unfortunately this only works until reboot. Have you taken over maintaining the ROM from Pixelboot? Just wondering if they're still active - haven't seen any activity on any of the reported bugs on the PE github.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SteQu:
Exactly. The method works only until the cellular data is turned off or the device is rebooted. What do you mean later in the post?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
I was just referring to the bugs posted at https://github.com/PixelExperience/android-issues/labels/device:marlin - I haven't much activity or comments from Pixelboot since earlier this year (other than the monthly updates), and thought that since you posted the July update I was just wondering if Pixelboot has moved on and you were taking over :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SteQu:
Hahahaha, no where. I only handed over my colleague because I wanted people participating in the topic to know about the update. That's it. 😅
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Speedstershah86:
The fix I found is to reset the apn settings under the 3 dot actions menu after every restart... Works well...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Th30n1:
I need help I tried installing this rom on my pixel xl 128gb but it keeps failing. I have tried the plus version and the regular rom but both give me error wont let me install. It never passes 1/2. this is what on the command promt after running the sideload command to install the rom. Total xfer: 0.75x or I also get

"Error applying update: 28 (ErrorCode::kDownloadOperationExecutionError)

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)"

what could be the Couse of this error.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daniel3ub:
Hello! I've been using this ROM for a couple of months now, and I've been ignoring the update alerts, basically because the installation process was a pain.

For an update, do I need to go through the same process as a brand-new install? Is there anything as an OTA update? When I tap the update notification on my phone I'm taken to the downloads page, with the "This build requires you to repartition your device..." warning.

Where do I go from there?

Thank you very much!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daniel3ub:
Never mind, I've found the guide. I'm sorry :/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
New build up.

Just installed it, and APN bug still present. I'm considering ditching the 11 builds, I feel the phone is not equipped to run it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
There's no activity (not even an acknowledgment) on any of the Marlin Github issues going back to April. I'm guessing there's no interest left in troubleshooting bugs on this device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
Sure, but it's something offered for free, so I'm not expecting anything. I was more talking about that the phone is not powerful enough for Android 11, so I'm considering switching back to Android 10.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xdagee:
Am stacked. I can't unlock my bootloader?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Namelesswonder:
Latest recovery image still doesn't have sgdisk, so repartitioning the device will require sideloading the script from TWRP instead.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
Yeah, and I totally get that. It's just unfortunate there isn't much demand or interest left for this device since otherwise it's pretty solid. The APN issue is literally the only issue I have with this ROM and I've been holding out for the last several builds...but if there's nobody even acknowledging or responding to the issues submitted on github it shouldn't even be supported. Not intended as a dig at the maintaner as the monthly updates are great, but if there's literally no device-specific support, then what's the point of it being an official build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
So does volte work?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EnumC:
Does anyone know what the original partition sizes are prior to flashing the repartition script? PixelExperience's Install guide states "If you install the stock rom again, you must repeat the procedure". However, there doesn't seem to be a repartition script for bringing the device back to stock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SteQu:
One way to restore a partition to its original size is to install stock software.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
Does volte work? (all the non working known issues on lineage os 18)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] activadroid:
NO. unfortunately.

I just bought/tried a new Verizon SIM & it only shows CDMA - 1xRTT under SIM status Mobile Voice Network Type, where my other Marlin running LineageOS official & Android 10 shows LTE.

A commenter on another forum stated that PixelDust also does not function for VoLTE.

So NONE of the Android 11's for Marlin can run it.

I hope this is fixable, but person who recently created unofficial LineageOS version running Android 11 for Marlin stated that problem is (I paraphrase) lack of support / driver from manufacturer of the chip - no longer supported for the version of chip inside Marlin. I think THAT code not open source (just my guess).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] activadroid:
OOPS, I just read that other phones (NOT just old Google Pixel Sailfish & Marlin) also have problems with VoLTE on Android 11, so I think (hope) I was WRONG about my earlier comment that problem is related to support / driver from manufacturer of chip, or not being open source. Apparently a few people have gotten VoLTE to work on a couple different phones in different countries. But some changes that work for some phones don't work for others.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] activadroid:
LTE data not working (Verizon network / USA) in my spare Pixel XL Marlin running PixelExperience. On the settings > SIM status page it shows 'LTE', and I enabled Cellular and turned off WiFi & tried to do a Speedtest (Ookla). system says no data or no network something similar. Same SIM then put into Pixel Sailfish running LineageOS & I get about 30MB/s download. is there some other configuration in settings I am missing ? different between LineageOS (official Android 10 version) and Pixel Experience ? I previously thought VoLTE was a problem, but did not know LTE itself not working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
There is a bug in this rom where you need to do go to Settings>Network>Mobile Network>Advanced>APN then hit the three dot option and Reset To Default to get data working after EACH AND EVERY REBOOT. I've filed a bug report months ago but I gave up hope that it'll ever be fixed. Shame since everything else about this ROM is A+, but the APN issue is a dealbreaker. npjohnson's Lineage 18.1 does not have this bug and I use it daily without issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
So sailfish has lte support?

I know moto g6 has lte support volte. I installed pixelexperience on it for my dad as well as testing lineage os rom out for it. Works flawlessly.

That phone low end budget phone. It truly sad it got newer os and better features then my pixel xl gen 1 phone that cost a fortune.

To bad no one can rewrite code for the chip itself lol. I i know it closed source and impossible. But one can hope.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baudfather:
If you can find a copy of the last PIxel Experience 10 release (Dec 2020) it's fully functional compared to 11. Unfortunately it's been pulled from the PE website and I can't find a trustworthy link anywhere. From what I've read everywhere, and my own experience, Android 10 is the end of the line for a fully functional Pixel XL. Lineage 18.1 unofficial is the closest you'll get to 11 as it's got the best support, but unfortunately it's still missing some functionality (no fault of the dev).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
Sadly the only marlin images of pixel experience I got from android 11.

I been running lineage os 17.1 on my pixel xl cause it my only phone and I need lte support lol.

Though since june security patch update I been unable to even see my phone outside.

The high birghtness app I used no longer working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] i n f a m o u s:
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has official LineageOS 18.1 support with working LTE. I don't understand why a newer Android device can't get LTE working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
Oh, I was unaware they pulled the links! I have them downloaded for the 128 GB variant on my computer at home since I've reverted to 10 (and I stand by my previous statement that this phone was not built for 11). If anyone's interested, send a PM and I'll make sure you get it.

Thanks @PixelBoot for continuously developing the ROM for us to play around. Appreciate your efforts. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
Thanks for this, going to try it out. Just FYI, kDownloadOperationExecutionError is still an issue during install, and the workaround still holds.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PixelBoot:
There is not much I can do about that issue.

Personally, myself I have encountered it, however by how the PixelExperience official procedure works.

For obvious reasons, I cannot tinker with how the .zip final file is produced.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
I see. I encountered it just now when I was following the official procedure (I was coming from latest version of PE+ 10). I guess adding a note/tip in the official instructions could help, but I don't think it's a big issue :).

Your rom is making me repair my Pixel XL (battery). It's really really beautiful.

I wish i could say that the VoLTE bug bugs me (pun intended), but it doesn't. Vodafone PT will not enable it for post-paid cards, and even for pre-paid plans, only on a few selected devices (Pixel XL is excluded). As such, i couldn't care less about it.

Thank you very much.

Small bug report:

I was testing L2TP VPN and i manage to make it work, but i must have made change on the server that the Android really didn't like, forcing the device to reboot. As it was a Always On VPN, i got myself into a reboot loop.

I got out of it by disabling the VPN server, giving me time to disable the Always ON VPN. This is low priority really.

hey thanks for the thread. In the last step when installing the 120 GB PixelExperience installation package The installation process get stuck at 35%. What could this mean?

I'm following the instructions at: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/marlin/install/

Should I try flash stock then Try again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockard_:
Do you encounter kDownloadOperationExecutionError"? If so there is a workaround.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kröte:
Brilliant. The work around fixes that 35% kDownloadOperationExecutionError error.

By the way is there a way to cut-and-paste into the Windows cmd ADB shell? I think control V Works within the cmd but Doesn't work for the ADB shell. So I had to Type "sgdisk --new=33:227142:1537862 --change-name=33:system_a --typecode=33:77036CD4-03D5-42BB-8ED1-37E5A88BAA34 /dev/block/sda" digit by digit.
