Which one is included instead? As the standalone Proton kernel is only available for the Pixel 5, right?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Which is still far far better than on stock😂
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ahoslc:
Is your Kernel only for Pixel 5 I have looked all around?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
Where did you see that? https://protonaosp.kdrag0n.dev/faq#battery-life

Added to the FAQ: https://protonaosp.kdrag0n.dev/faq#hotspot-support

That wasn't meant to be part of this post. Removed, sorry for the confusion.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
My guess is the picture in the "screenshots" otherwise I have no idea. I do not see battery anywhere else but I was also very curious when I read this myself.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Based on the screenshot, no mobile data and last charge was 3 days ago, it's probably a screenshot from a device that's not the daily driver and has been sitting on the desk for a bit, lol.

Android 12 is nice, but I want the full use showed in screenshots, so I'll flash back to 11 and run this tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I am hoping someone using Proton now will see this and post a real life battery screenshot showing the actual battery estimates. Of course there's a billion factors that can cause battery life to suck and 1 user to get better than the next user, but a general pic would be nice.

I'm finishing up testing on the Bliss ROM 11 then I do plan to test the one next but it won't be right away.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
I stopped worrying about battery life unless my phone is hot in my pocket for no reason, lol. Some people expect to get 8 hours SoT since one user achieved it, but 75% of that could be from watching media.

I don't average any crazy numbers for SoT unless I'm watching videos for hours.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I actually find that my pixel 4XL has much better life than any other device I've owned. My HTC10 was that only 1 that almost compared. My pixel 3XL and 2 XL did not get anywhere near what my 4 XL gets but I'm also not a battery watcher myself. I just disable apps I don't want running, or remove the "boot" service for apps I don't want running, and limit what apps can do what actions (network/keep alive / wakelocks / etc) and my battery life is stellar in my opinion.

My original reply comment was more for a general idea than anything sound with facts.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
It's from my daily driver, but I don't charge to 100% all the time or bother to clear battery stats. I don't share examples of battery life because it's highly personal and I don't want anyone to complain about it being worse than expected. My personal usage is very light compared to many others, so it's not a very good example to use here.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Djmorganfreeman:
Hello. Does this ROM support pixel shifting future like in stock ROM to prevend oled burn-in
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Mine too for right now and it's really really good, battery is awesome so far! Check this out, last charge 12 hours ago and 86% left! I do prevent all apps I don't want running in the background from starting (SDMaid) and I do prevent many apps from using the internet (iptables). These help but even without them, the battery was really good!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Been running the ROM for a couple days now and I really like it. The new sounds are also very pleasant to the ear. I even set my transition animations to 1.5x speed and the animations make everything look better with my eyes.

Starting with barely any apps installed, instantly started off way faster than stock. Besides features missing due to be special to stock and tedious to port over, the only issue(graphical) I found is with the text clock on always on display, the icons overlap with the bottom text depending on what time it is.

Other than that, amazing work.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I do not use the text clock but I agree to everything else. It's definitely faster than stock and is in my opinion a better version of stock. I've been running it now as my daily driver for 5 days and not a single issue. Battery for me (with my custom iptables and app start restrictions using SDMaid) lasts forever it seems and I use my pixel like 90% of the day. It's always in my hand and being used for work so it's a valid use case scenario for real power consumption.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
Just to add my 2 cents absolute fantastic rom. I agree to every comment! Great job!!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Sounds like I have to switch to this next weekend :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You will be happy with it if you're looking for a decent, stable, and I'm my opinion better then official stock. It doesn't have tons of bells and whistles but it's good enough that IDC they are missing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
I decided that "weekend" means "now" :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
LOL I do that myself quite often 😜

On a personal note, I usually switch ROMs to test and help other devs and users (quite often in fact), but I may stay on this one a while. It's pretty stable with awesome battery life for my type of use. I do use it literally all day long because of my job (senior sys engineer/architect) so I use my pixel for the better part of a full day. I rarely plug in, and never overnight. I let it sit and go to sleep and uses almost no battery life overnight. Battery life is very personal but on a system level, without anything extra, it's fantastic I've found. On top of that, I take it further with restrictions to what can run in the background, what can start, and what can use data. This combination keeps my battery level awesome throughout the day
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
I might try the same! Installing right now :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] storytellerz:
This ROM is just so fantastic! Have been using it for 3 days and I have nothing to complain at all. Really appreciate Dev for making such an awesome ROM for Pixel 4 XL. Definitely much better than stock ROM.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
So these are the stats of my very first day on ProtonAOSP. Battery stats are good, the Rom all in all is really amazing!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kvroath:
first time to use web installer. it's too easy to install a custom rom
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
How did it work out? Any issues or smooth sailing? I usually tell users not to use the web version of Google's official firmware (chrome) because I have seen lots of issues, but this web version seems different so I am curious on your results.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] storytellerz:
I also jump to this ROM through web installation, it's hassle-free. Just a few simple click and boom, your phone is on a new ROM.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Yeah, I can confirm this. As @kvroath already said, it's really nearly too easy 😂

Btw, attached, the stats of day 2. Quite heavy usage.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
I already answered this when you asked the same question on Telegram, but it will likely be added to the FAQ for future users.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hamzih:
The aod is at 90hz any way to lower this or fix this? It's usually 60hz for stock, 30 would even work for battery
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Right on, good to know, thanks for the heads up!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mizta_Rshn:
hey , how did you restrict apps that boot during device bootup ? Does it required SDMaid Pro ? and is root required ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
The display refresh rate shown by Android is inaccurate for ambient display. Ambient display uses a special low-power display mode where normal refresh rates don't apply.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
yes and yes, ROOT with using SD Maid (I have Pro), so I am not 100% certain if BOOT / APP boot control is premium only or in the free version so test it and let me know. Once in SD Maid, go to app management, boot (see pic 1), and disable ALL apps you dont need. You would be VERY surprised how many apps start with boot (mainly GAMES and streaming services) so they can push you annoying game and app notifications. SCREW that, it does nothing but wastes battery, RAM, and annoys me the crap out of me so I block and disable them. Then, for things like the hidden Verizon tracking apps, I disable with IPChains so its firewall'd and dropped at the source and doesn't leave my device. Those apps (com.verizon.lkagent / com.verizon.obdm_permissions / com.verizon.mips.services AKA MY Verizon Services) start with boot and not only run in the background but collect device info and send to verizon, NO WAY that's happening! By firewalling those UUIDs, they cant reach the tracking services or verizon. Since they cant check in, they cant use RAM or battery or network (or at are using less resources than if allowed).

I do this on ALL ROMs I test and use (even stock), but you can also freeze those apps with TiB (if you have) but freezing disables the app as if its removed, whereas turning off the BOOT, disables the auto-start BUT doesn't freeze (disable) so its still usable on demand. I use all of the apps I disable on BOOT, and I have NEVER had an issue with disabling boot so I highly recommend reviewing boot apps. Just keep an eye out and watch for apps you need to receive notifications from (like XDA or Messenger, or Amazon/eBay), stuff like that. I do not disable those auto-starts as I DO want update notifications but only a VERY few apps get to send notifications for my droids's (email/work/XDA/TXT stuff like that) or can run.

I'm my last pic (I updated my post to show this piece), you'll see the verizon BULL SPIT services trying over and over to check-in but can't! This is WHY I firewall and DROP ALL verizon crap services so they can't track me. If you haven't seen or read what's being tracked, open the app data for my verizon and you will see literally everything about your device is sent to verizon without your permission. NOPE ain't happenin! They do not have my consent to know this type of information so to me, this is a clear sign of misconduct on their part but there's no way to stop it without firewall'ing the UUIDs (verizon services) or disable the apps and services all together. The problem with disabling them is WiFi calling is interrupted so I found it is better to simply drop the communication to their services then it is with disabling the apps.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neo_lithic3K:
This is a great rom. Everything felt faster and there were extra options that I liked. However, I had to switch back to stock because I couldn't get Call Screening to work and I've come to depend on call screening to weed out all the spam and telemarketer calls. I know OP already mentioned it, but I thought that I could "systemize" it or try other methods to get it to work.

If you don't need call screening though, then this is a really good rom to try.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AlkaliV2:
I'll go ahead and echo the praises of others: this works as good or better than stock for me. Android Auto, OK Google, squeeze for assistant, and other features that I've had fail on other ROMs work amazingly here. I love this ROM and I can't seem myself switching anytime soon honestly since it feels like stock with more control. I think it is spectacular, thanks for bringing this to our phones!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Just noticed that today when I got that call about my extended car warranty, lmao. No clue why that option doesn't work even though it's enabled.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Look at this crap, in the past 24 hours, that POS verizon tracking app has tried to send my details (without my permission of course) to verizon. I know it's working (firewall dropping the requests) because last week I had to make an account change for my wife's birthday present and they couldn't "see my device or details to authenticate me", yeah duh. I don't really want verizon or any provider knowing my personal details, apps installed, who I'm texting, and so on. No company has that right and I don't think it's cool that Google included it as a system app. I'm sure there's some legal BS that allowed it, or Google had to for some reason, but I think it's bullspit and an invasion of privacy.

All I'm saying is to block verizon system apps to prevent them from tracking you because they are and will without your consent!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
I even uninstalled this bs.

As the ProtonAOSP project expands to support more devices, bandwidth and maintenance costs are increasing.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I used to remove or disable the app (uninstall or freeze) but you will run into WiFi calling issues on verizon if you do. Try it and see if WiFi calling works without the embedded verizon bogus apps. Instead I firewall the 3 verizon app UUIDs but leave it running so WiFi calling works. By leaving them running but blockhole'd (so they have ZERO network access), the apps cannot check-in to verizon and leak all of my personal info, and app info (check out the app data directory for the verizon apps), you will see what I mean. In the app directory for my verizon, you will see what they are collecting without your consent. Its complete BS in my book and I dont allow it!!

At first when I started firewall dropping verizon crap, I wasnt 100% sure it was doing everything I wanted to do (blocking verizon from seeing my device and info). That was until I had to make a change on my wife's device in store, at that point, I knew it WAS doing EVERYTHING I wanted it to do.

In the verizon store, they make you authenticate who you are BEFORE they make service or plan changes (which is good, very good). T=Because I droip the network requests in and out, hey could NOT see my device WHATSOEVER, nor gather ANYTHING from it, so I couldn't authenticate it was me and who I said I was by the normal means. Normally verizon will send a ping to your device and on your device, the embedded apps will pop-up with an access request from verizon so they can authenticate me. This failed because I DROP all inbound/outbound verizon tracking methods so they couldnt authenticate me. I explained to the rep, I firewall all verizon garbage and I will NOT allow ANYONE to collect ANYTHING from me or my device WIHTOUT my prior consent, he understood, and the used TXT and my driver's license!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Well, no Verizon in the EU, so 🤷‍♂️

But sure, I can understand the reason you don't uninstall it then.

Work's better than stock rom...

Very very better
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arsenalove:
Pixel 4xl felt slower on stock, then came across this ROM just last week. Amazing work. Works better than Stock and battery is amazing (at least for me). Thank you
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] godshades:
does Kirisakura work with this rom

or stock kernel better
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] storytellerz:
I've never try it with Kirisakura yet. But I am pairing this ROM with Sultan kernel, it works fantastic.

It does.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Proton on the Pixel 4 XL uses the stock kernel image from Google, so you just want to get your hands on the boot.img from the factory image, use Magisk to modify that, then flash it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carelockh:
Great Rom so far, can live without some minor proprietary features but at least I still have call screening and rcs chat. Well I'll be able to test it so more later in the day.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
What did you do to get call screen and working?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carelockh:
I just installed the Google phone app from the playstore. Note I haven't fully tested it yet. Also a magisk module for dailer framework.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Are you 100% sure it's working? Are you able to change the Google Voice of call screen? That's the sign that it's working correctly.

I managed to get it working by systemizing the Google Dialer and I think I tried that module before and didn't have any luck, but I don't have RCS working no matter what I do. I'll try again later today after a clean flash though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dragynbane222:
Yeah, you need to systemize the dialer as a priv-app. Dialer Framework is unneeded. As to the RCS issue, the "trying to verify" bug has hit anyone trying to set it up again. That's going to hit any rom you try as it's server side from what I can gather. Old workarounds don't seem to work anymore. Next method I have is leave it on trying to connect and it'll connect when the bug is fixed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Odd enough, I managed to get it working by doing nothing during a clean clash.

I had to clean flash due to messing up something with GBoard and could no longer install it through the Play Store for some weird reason. I also had a different Google Dialer settings UI than I was used to before I clean flashed, now I'm back to the UI I'm used to, but call screen is working too, so I'm all setup now.

@kdrag0n i pledged for early access, did the web installer and all went well for version 11.5.0 for version 11.6.0 i had to pay $6.50 to get the link sent to me, it is not installing via web installer, and theres nothing i can do about it. seems like youre making us pay to get your rom and once we do, you make us pay again in order to get a newer version that in it of itself doesnt web install. not cool dude.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
It installs fine here, and you don't have to pay for it, you're paying for early access. Otherwise, you just wait for the public release.

What errors are you having?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
Sorry to hear that. I just reached out to help you via email and processed it for refund in case you are no longer interested in getting it to work. Please note that early access is completely optional and not mentioned anywhere on XDA, so please avoid posting about it in this thread. Thanks!

11.6.0 was officially dropped on the proton site, dirty upgrade from the previous version worked fine for me
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Phillis:
Sometimes upon reboot, booting into the OS takes 5-10 minutes to load and the touchscreen does not work. I have to manually reboot 3-4 times by pressing the power button 15 seconds until eventually it works.

Is this a sign of hardware failure or a bug? The phone was purchased new as a refurbished unit.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I have been only using Proton for the last 2 weeks and have found it to be extremely stable, and bundled with KRISHNA FLORAL, I get excellent battery life. That being said, I have been testing a few ROOT'd apps I am designing/working on, so I have to reboot quite a bit to test, and that's never once, ever happened to me. I have not had a touch issue, or unresponsive device in the last 2 weeks of using Proton, through maybe 100/150 boot/reboots.

Here is my Pixel 4 XL setup, Proton latest version, MAGISK ROOT (with no modules), FLORAL kernel, and I never have a touch issue on boot/reboot. I currently use FLORAL kernel, but the stock kernel was also fully tested anmd neither had any issues you describe.

Have you tried this without any modules, or anything 3rd party (fresh build), or stock firmware? If so, did you have the same touch issues running a clean build or running stock? What happens when you clean flash the firmware using stock, but absolutely nothing else modified (ROOT/MODULES/KERNEL)? I am asking because if its a device failure, then all ROMs/firmware would suffer and have it (for the most part), but if its something 3rd party that is causing it, then a clean or factory firmware would solve it so I would test this if it were me just to rule down the possibilities.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arsenalove:
I had the screen issue on 11.5.2 only when I flashed a magisk module to hide the navigation bar . Otherwise never had any sorts of issue. Perfect rom. Cheers
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Thanks for the extra info, that's what I'm hoping to sift through and pinpoint to the root cause for the OP (which is probably a module or 3rd party kernel). I don't have the issue and I reboot a lot recently for development reasons. I'm hoping the OP who reported the issue does a full factory reset to test if it's device failing issue or software based issue (magisk module or kernel, or both). We will only know this by testing the factory or somehow undo anything 3rd party. Once it's factory reset but without anything else modified, they can test and if it can't be reproduced then it's just likely software but not hardware.
