i got a version that worked fine on lineage os 17.1. Its twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.3.0-0.zip.

Attached the version in case you wanted to give it a try.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
my phone just crashed. It been up for a few days and rebooted itself. Also, memory being used almost all of it. (Just an update 12/24/21 It still is freeze crashing and rebooting after some days).

Installing newest update 12/16/21. Hope it fixes some issues I had.

Bootanimations are not working. Cannot put custom ones in.

When using duo I been having weird problems. No sound when I called and for some reason today got a camera not working error and no picture until they recalled. Also, when on phone call and switching to video mode mic stops working and i have to hang up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
Why is the rom discontinued? What happened?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] undermark5:
This is not an official answer by any means, but I'm guessing it is because the group as a whole is discontinuing Android 11 variants, and I have not seen any work done for Android 12 on OG Pixel(XL) devices. So, if support were to be continued, the mantainer is venturing into potentially uncharted waters.

As for if Android 12 can be ported to OG Pixel(XL) devices, I'm not certain, but considering it is coming up on its fifth year, the entire development community around it may have moved on to later more relevant devices.

In addition to the above, majority of maintainers do this in their spare time, so I would guess if they maintain multiple devices, their priorities are currently with other phones rather than a nearly 5 year old phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
Ya that what I guessed.

Also i think it is 5 yrs old. (got mine December 2016 and its January 2022).

I did buy a pixel 6 pro recently and have my pixel xl gen 1 as backup since it is working fantastic still. Though removed pixel experience os from it due to major problems that never were fixed and effects daily functionality.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] undermark5:
Ah, ya, I mathed wrong, last couple of years have been weird and doesn't help with just having rolled around to a new year either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dragon Kumera:
hopefully android 12 with fully original upload photo exists one day
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Carball0:
Is there any way to install the original GCam? I tried once when I installed the ROM two months ago and it didn't work (it crashed right after opening it).

Despite this the ROM is amazing! I haven't found any issue after two months of using it and it even comes with monthly updates. Amazing work on this!

PixelExperience - UNOFFICIAL | Android 11

Updated: 18/01/2022

▪️ Marlin [960MB]

Changelog:

• Revert back to original partition table.

Notes:

• After further analyzing the performance of the device, it was noted that UFS degradation was present during the use of the new repartitioned table, so therefore this build removes some of the system packages in order to satisfy the stock partition table found on the Pixel.

• If you currently find yourself on a ROM which required repartition, kindly flash the stock images (https://developers.google.com/android/images) for your respective device to revert to the original partition table.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JewBagel254:

Thanks a lot for the new rom, it works perfectly well.

I see you have been trying to get Android 12 PE for the OG Pixels on sourceforge, how is that coming along?

Hello. Firstly, thank you very much for the new verison. I have got installed the last official version: PixelExperience_marlin-11.0-20211123-0818-OFFICIAL.

My question is if is possible update this version without format data and if answer is affirmative "how" I must do it, cleaning caches, etc.. because in the recovery mode I don´t see options neither clean caches nor install .zip

Thank you for your help. I wait your indications.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kokanee1:
I put the phone in recovery mode and sideloaded the last two unofficial updates without any problems.

@PixelBoot

Hi, i am now using official lineageos 18.1, may i know which version of gcam mod are you using in pixel experience?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fenixstemplar:
"Camera PX v. 7.2.014.278150624" in the last official PE11 build
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kröte:
Yes as far as I know it's possible to apply the February 27, 2022 update without formatting data. I tried it and It works.

1st make a backup. Start by removing fingerprint and SIM protection .Then enable developer mode enable USB debugging and enable OEM unlocking. Set up adb. Confirm with ADB devices command. Check THAT fast boot is worrking With fast boot devices command.Reboot into recovery mode the boot loadder should be Unlock already. Then don't reboot insteadd since you are already in recovery mode just initiate the sideload process. Just follow the instructions at https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/marlin/install/#pre-install-instructions . I skiped the last step:

#5. Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process.

This method works to update without formatting the drive.

" Google Pixel 1/1XL With regards to the Google Pixel 1, to be completely honest with all of you who are enthusiasts, it has become very unlikely for any Android 12 support going forward from me. I have concluded this after countless hours of testing builds on builds for such devices… However, I shall keep contributing via fixes and sorts on recent unofficial PixelExperience builds found on my SourceForge and some minor bug fixes on official Lineage OS 18.1, on random occasions.

Do you know if these marlin builds actually boot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kokanee1:
I've flashed and used all the PE 11 builds sucessfully. I've not tried the android 12 builds. As there are now official Lineage 18.1 builds for the Pixel XL and I get nervous when there aren't regular security updates, I've switched away from PE.

Don't even get past the bootloader for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blckbear:
These don't boot, if they did, they would have been posted in their own thread. Any build that isn't published won't boot unless PixelBoot says otherwise in their own post/thread.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andrewwdai:
I goofed somewhere and wanted to go back to stock. However, when I flashed the factory image I got a message of size discrepancy. I assume this is because of re-partitioning. My quesiton is how to go back to the pre-partitioning state?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blckbear:
flashing stock with the google provided scripts restores the stock partition table and shouldn't complain about sizes. Just download the factory image and run flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh depending on your OS.

I booted pixen experience plus gsi arm64-ab-vndklite for both 12.1 and 13 with the last update vendor img for marlin. With twrp 3.3.1-1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rodken:
You actually got Android 13 to boot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
Yes. I had pixel experience 11 flashed to it. I restored the vendor image after but after a data wipe and flashed the gsi to a and b it booted. Might be good to note my sim slot is damaged so I won't know if the device gets cell service until I flash the one I have that works. I used the boot image for pixel experience plus and twrp to flash it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
13 is very slow however

I have 12 on it now but
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
hi!

sorry, i don't understand. android 12 don't work well on the device?

i have the same model as you and wish to, at least, install the android 12 version on it, but i have some doubts about the operation of the system itself.

i tried to install a few days ago the pixel experience 11 plus on mine but it doesn't finish to sideload it, just for the information.

best regards,

eric
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
You have to follow the install instructions for pixel experience 11 and flash the Repartition Script to make more room then reboot your recovery to flash the rom. Then pixel experience 11 will flash. After that. I downloaded the last factory img and flashed in twrp both the stock android 10 vendor img and the GSI img and it booted. It will hang on the boot logo for a bit then it will boot the GSI. I've only ever been able to get these two GSI img to load and only after I had not attempted to start with stock already on it. But android 13 is slow but 12 seems to be alright. Maybe I got lucky and some step I didn't realize made the difference worked however these are the steps I took. I also flashed the gsi and vendor to both slots before I booted the device. But the stock boot img won't load it. The pixel experience 11 img will.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
right.. i think i understand, let me see:

first you flash the PE 11, and flashed the stock factory IMG + GSI (android 13) IMG on TWRP after this?

about the performance and usability, i think the 13 is really very heavy for the marlin device, thats why I wish to run at least the 12 version on mine, would be enough for me.

otherwise, would be grateful if you share the experience here about the uses of the system on the Pixel XL!

best regards,

eric
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
The 13 was indeed to slow and the device overhead frequently. I am using the 12 atm. It's working with no issues. At least none that I have seen. Yes I believe you have understood the steps I took. Just to clarify I only flashed the vendor img from stock. I did this at the same time as the system img. I did factory reset after getting everything installed as my first attempt failed. I realized after that I forgot to flash the other slot so it could have been required to wipe data or I needed both slots flashed. I'm going to restore stock on it again and try to figure out what exactly I needed to do to get it to boot. This is the only time I've been able to get a GSI to boot on this device. So I hope I can figure out the exact order. If 12 is lagging or if your device gets hot. I do know the PE 11 worked great. If I come across any issues with it I will be sure to relay that. This is not my primary device so I'm not a heavy user of it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
oh right, tks for all the informations!

think i'm gonna try the process again at this weekend, the pixel is my primary device on day-to-day!! and i do not want to brick, soft brick or hard brick him 😬 and i am using the 11 (LOS 18.1) itm.

and yes, i understand the steps, i'm just do not have any familiarization with flashing GSI, vendor images, slots a & b... for me it's a little more informations to pay attention.

but, again, thanks for all the information and anything else you want or have to share, pls let me in.

att,

eric
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
It's easy once you do it once or twice you'll think it's like riding a bike. Sometimes getting them to load is like learning Math for the first time lol. With twrp 3.3.1.1 it gives you the option to flash boot vendor system. So that makes it easy. If you have any questions when you go to flash it over let me know and I'll help if I can.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
i appreciate the quickly answers and the disposal in this case!

i will give a try asap on this and let you know about it.

and yes, on the global vision is really easy, i'm kind of enthusiast and korking/ read about building my own builds for smartphones (my secondary moto g4 play) and already on the mobile scenario since i was 16 😁

thanks and later!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
did you happen to have any luck? i try to check in as much as i can.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
I will try today.

sorry for the late answer

i updated the LOS 18.1 and google wallet doesnt work anymore.

This night il give a shot on the GSI 12 installation and try to perform a magisk installation too
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
Sometimes, for me anyway. I use Magisk with the fox module Hide user debug on custom Roms and it allows me to use Google pay. However you have to use the saftynet fix as well. I would just try to use root hiding techniques until you find one that works. Sometimes when your not rooted on a custom ROM it will always fail. At least this is what I've noticed on my attempts .
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eBug:
i'm using a pixel xl with lineageOS 18.1 and magisk and Google Pay/Wallet works fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Eric_Mello:
I'm acctually using the same model as you and running the LOS 18.1 with the security patch level from dec-2022 and already works fine on this settings, but after the OTA update to Jan build, the contactless payment stop with the google wallet warning the device not meet the security levels. After this I downgraded to the this version, and not able to make works again..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spiff72:
I can't get past an error message when flashing this. (Error Applying Update: 28 kdownloadoperationexecutionerror.)

I tried instead to use TWRP but I can't seem to get that installed (I fastboot into the twrp image, and then push the zip installer to the phone and install it, but it won't boot into recovery after this).

Any suggestions? I am able to load lineage with no issue, but really want to try pixelexperience on the Pixel XL (my backup phone).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
You need to flash in twrp the repartition script. Or you cannot flash this. Follow all instructions listed

Twrp doesn't flash to install recovery on Android 10 try the twrp 3.3.1 that one installed for me on Android 9 but none work on Android 10. I always boot the .img or flash the boot partition and flash the ota I want. Then if boot fails my device changes slots back to the boot slot with twrp

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spiff72:
I did flash the repartition zip file too (via adb), but I was still having trouble. Sorry I forgot to mention that step. I ended up reverting back to the Lineage 18.1 ROM instead last night.

If it helps, my Pixel XL was still stock and unlocked until I unlocked it last night. I flashed Lineage (using the flashed Lineage recovery) with no issues prior to attempting the PixelExperience ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
I know I had to flash the repartition script then reboot into twrp. Then the OTA would succeed. On another I had to flash the script a couple times. I do know that I wasn't able to install the plus ota and did the standard OTA listed.

If you were on stock 10 when you attempted to flash the twrp-installer.zip did it result in a boot loop? Or a white flashing screen? Sometimes I also got the blue TWRP screen flash then black. Or did it just trigger a reboot? If the screen is black. Does adb recognize the device. You can still use some TWRP features using "adb shell twrp sideload Will enable adb sideload to adb shell sideload /path/to/ota.zip ECT"

Did you try to install the newest TWRP? Or any other versions? I know I originally used OrangeFox recovery. I always just boot the recovery.

As for the failure. That's the failure you get unless the partition script is flashed.

Try to download the Pixel experience Boot.img on the download page and then fastboot reboot-recovery and use the Roms recovery instead.

Make sure to reboot recovery after the partition script
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spiff72:
I went from stock 10 (whatever is current on Marlin) to unlocking bootloader, and then flashing the Lineage recovery (which flashed fine and functioned as it should). I didn't see any bootlooping.

When I try to install TWRP (either the latest 3.7.something, or 3.5.0, I would boot from the temporary recovery image, then adb push the zip installer across, and then install that via recovery. When I would then reboot into recovery again, it seemed like it didn't "take" and it would bootloop.

I ended up fastboot flashing the lineage recovery and that one allows me to flash Lineage 18.1 without any issues.

I will give it another try here later if i have some time. I dug through more of this thread and found some detailed instructions on how to repartition manually - which looks complicated, but might be worth trying.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JovialQuestion:
If you flash the intended Pixel Experience Boot.img then use the volume keys to navagate to reboot recovery you will end up in the pixel experience recover intended for the install. This should allow repartition script to be sideloaded then reboot recovery again and flash the ota. Just flash the boot.img to both slots make sure to use the factory reset option first In the PE recovery and reboot recovery

So

Fastboot flash boot_a

Fastboot flash boot_b

Key boot recovery

Factory reset

Reboot-recovery

Adb sideload repartition script

Reboot recovery

Adb sideload OTA.zip

Normal boot

This is how I just installed it on a pixel XL 128gig with all stock 10

_______

I wouldn't partition manually unless you are 100% you can recover the Partition Tables. I believe the script listed is specific for this OTA to work.

_______

I will look check on a few things and if I can come up with anything else I'll post here.

If you run into anything else let me know. I'll do what I can.

This looks promising. Just be careful repartitioning.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spiff72:
Just so I am clear on the commands before trying this again...

Flash the recovery to both slots (I didn't do this before with the PE recovery image - just did it without any _a or _b suffix):

fastboot flash boot_a <recovery_filename.img>

fastboot flash boot_b <recovery_filename.img>

adb reboot recovery

run factory reset inside recovery

reboot into recovery

adb sideload repartition script

reboot into recovery

adb sideload the rom zip

reboot
