Thanks for the info and sorry for delay. I did not factory reset the device since it is my daily driver. I don't reboot often because of that. Today it took 2 manual reboots to get it to work.

I am on stock Proton but with Magisk. Magisk modules installed are Audio Compatibility patch, Systemless Host and Viper4Android FX.

ProtonAOSP 12 is incredible, I was on LOS11 and that was great until I found kdrag0n released A12 Proton! Proton 12 is awesome, I highly recommend trying it if you want a 12 ROM!!!

Always best to research first, then ask afterwards if not found, especially because it's in the OP (download link) 🤗

Or just click the link in the OP on the very first post. Just to clarify, I am NOT being a jerk, I am trying to point new users to the link so they use the "web" method since its the safest for newbs. I personally use ADB/FASTBOOT like a stock firmware so I can control the install, but newbs shouldn't DL and manually flash it, use the web installer instead:

Download · ProtonAOSP

You don't need to download ProtonAOSP yourself in most cases. Use the web installer instead to install it quickly and easily. It takes as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection, and is safer than manual installation; see Installation for more information and...

Anyone on A12 of ProtonAOSP, does "now playing" detect anything for you? I cant seem to get any results, but I know its hearing it the music so I am curious of other user's feedback.

I am NOT reporting a bug, but merely asking if anyone else has music identified so I know if I F'd up something or not.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marbertshere:
Cool thanks for the heads up. I've been on Android 10 (don't ask why) and after reading feedback regarding 12, I wasn't sure if I should update. I think I'll give it a shot.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Yes, works here on my side.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
You are right .. there is a bug. Having the same problem no music detected since 01. November.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Thanks for confirming! I suspect its due to "Android 12 System Intelligence" crashing (but this is an upstream Google issue) and not necessarily a ProtonAOSP issue. This service is the new "Device Personalization Services" which handles the music detection service and I see its riddled over the internet with issues since B4 (A12) crashing, ETC. I suspect this is the underlying root cause. .
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] haris2887:
I cant flash this rom.

I have just reverted everything to my pixel 4 XL to stock factory .

When I try to run the Proton Web installer, i get the following error

Is there anytihng i need to do before flashing when coming from a Stock Google Pixel 4XL Android 12 ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xDaaexplorer8:
can anyone please tell me if its possible to enable the Soli chip on unsupported countries using this ROM ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
No the firmware and all .img needed for the install are all contained within the zip so you don't need anything else but the zip (nor do anything ahead of time). You do not need anything but the zip download. I do not use the web flasher and download and install/flash the same way, using the same methods to flash a Google factory firmware.

You didn't explain any errors or logs so I can't help but try the offline method and do it exactly as you would a factory firmware.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
kdrag0n released the latest version 12.1. If anyone tries it on the coral, please let me know if the now playing bug is fixed and working. I want to come back to ProtonAOSP 12 but I need my music detection. Unfortunately I literally rolled back to 11 (LOS) just this weekend so I'm not redoing my device until it's confirmed.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mingaldrichgan:
I'm also curious if Android Auto is working (wired Android Auto in a supported car, not standalone). That was the main reason I switched away from the initial ProtonAOSP 12 release to stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
I'm on 12.1 and now playing is working but you cannot download the zip file for extracting the boot image (file not found) so currently you cannot route.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Keep trying, it will work, I had the same thing originally.

Thanks for the comments, I moved to BACK to protonAOSP just now and yup yup, works great!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Here's the boot.img that get's flashed via the web installer. Found the file within the browser's storage and extracted it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I am really happy with this version of ProtonAOSP (A12)! It basically fixes (at least for me) all the annoying new bugs/features with A12 (like the stupid "Internet" QT that does BOTH Wi-Fi AND Mobile all-in-one tile! Proton gives you SEPERATE controls, more like the normal layout of Android. Sure I could have done it in stock, but this is OUT OF THE BOX (which I love), plus its rock solid stable, fast, and just works WELL!

This is my new A12 daily driver, and LOS A11 as my backups for if/when A12 fails me, but I don't think I will be rolling back to LOS or A11 since moving to the latest ProtonAOSP. Its awesome to say the least! I AM VERY HAPPY I moved back this ROM!

EXCELLENT WORK kdrag0n!!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ryaniskira:
Are there no recovery images for this ROM? It seems like to update on a locked bootloader you have to re-unlock your bootloader. Google provides recovery images that you can use to update on a locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Whoa, why are you re-locking the BL? You are asking for disastrous results doing so if you are not EXTREMELY careful but why lock it? The entire point to Pixels and custom ROMs are due to the unlocked BL, so locking it can cause major data-loss along with brick issues. I would be careful and do not lock it. The boot.img is inside the ROM zip (but you have to extract it out of the zip).

Those Google images are also signed to work with a locked BL for OTA's, but custom ROMs are not usually designed this way. I think you are confusing official Google and ProtonAOSP (custom) ROM because they look so familiar with each other but no need to lock BL, nor use boot.img to update.

Could anyone tell me how can I show information of Sim card signal on Status Bar?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LearnIIBurn:
Man its been a while since I've wandered the bright halls of XDA. Although looking a bit more modern I must say.

I'm still rocking my 4XL and stopped by to look at kernels and ended up in this fine thread with this fine rom on my phone.

Nice work! It's got a very good feel to it. Now I've been out of the loop for a while now, but I always thought AOSP was pretty much naked android, and thus thats what I thought I had all along on my Pixel phones 1, 2XL and 4XL on Project Fi.. like as google as it gets I suppose. But this rom is pure AOSP?

My only gripe is the camera app. Compared to the current Google camera app on.... uhh other AOSP A12, this one is like 50 steps backwards. Not to knock the rom at all please don't take it that way, I'm just confused about what Google considers stock android and pixel android I guess?

Awesome work! Solid daily driver for sure.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
Yes, I lke the rom as well. Concerning the camera perhaps you find here the one for you https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ I'm using the GCam from MWP and I like it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I disable the stock cam, and download from PlayStore the official Google cam and problem solved. I use the official Google cam with ProtonAOSP, and have the ProtonAOSP as the base (OS) with the goodies I want added. I always find the AOSP'sh cameras to never be as good as Google cam, so I either use Google cam or 3rd partyy but NEVER the AOSP cam.

Unless I misunderstood the issue, if I did then I apologize and please elaborate but otherwise, just use the Google official camera and not the Proton cam.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LearnIIBurn:
Thanks for the direction :). I was unaware that the official Google camera was in the PlayStore so thats good to hear. Otherwise I've been on your rom a few days now and I don't think I've charged my phone yet. I haven't used it very much but that means that it standbys like a beast.

Thanks again fantastic rom man!

Edit: Oops sorry the rom developer is kdrag0n so thanks to him! But also to you GroovyJosh, unless you also are the dev then... thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Nope not the dev here, not anymore. I am glad GCam is workin for ya. I don't have time to support development for ROM/apps anymore, so I just help the awesome devs that still do bake them for us.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ZeroKool76:
AOSP is raw Android, no features whatsoever. Google then uses that base and adds their own specific versions of apps that were meant to run on pixels, as well as their proprietary features. An example would be, say, the phone app. I believe proton is using the barebones AOSP version, so you won't get any of the pixel specific features, like "hold my call" or call screening. Same goes with apps like the clock, AOSP won't have the bedtime mode. And obviously you realized the downfall of using the AOSP camera. Not to mention all the proprietary features that won't work(depending on whether he felt like reverse engineering them), like active edge and soli. This would be a fantastic ROM to run on any other device other than a Pixel, lol. You're just crippling half of the features that make the pixel, a pixel. Which explains why the battery is so good. If I turned off all the bells and whistles on my P4XL, I would get great battery as well. 😂

But, getting back to your original statement, this rom is about as barebones and as close to "pure" AOSP as you'll probably come across. If that's your thing, you're in the right place.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ChocoboX:
Nice features. Does it support exfat and ntfs for usbotg? I looked at the FAQ and I couldn't find that information.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I would agree with parts of this but also disagree with parts of this comment. Aside from the few proprietary things like soli, you get a much better version of Android 12, not a crippled one. With Proton you get a far superior pixel experience than you do with stock (not the other way around). Proton is more stock'like than most ROMs but thats the main point. It is a better version of A12, and doesn't have the A12 annoyances stock does, and allows for extra customization that stock cannot.

In my opinion its far more stable than stock plus you can install almost everything stock google related (to fill in whatever is missing) with what you referenced "as crippling a pixel". In my opinion, its a WAY BETTER Pixel experience using Proton, than stock. Battery life out of the box is phenomenal, but thats not because of missing bells and whistles (because they are there in Proton as well), the same ones as stock. Its better because of a better derived Android 12 from code than stock, but not from being "crippled".

I am not arguing at all, you raise good points but from your experience, mine is much different. Because of this, I am offering readers another opinion and another perspective from my own personal Proton experience. Its my daily driver for the reasons I listed, plus its stable as hell, fast, and just works!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ZeroKool76:
I understand where you're coming from and I can respect your opinion. By "crippling", I was referring to the features that, for myself, were major reasons why I got the device, and those would be the proprietary features. Yes, you can download most of the google versions, but you can't make use of the features related to those apps without them being systemized. Call screening and hold my call, for example. I agree that proton is a "cleaner" version of Android, since it doesn't have all the google bloat on top. But, again, for me, that's why I bought the pixel. I use the same argument with people that flash LOS on a pixel, basically killing off everything good(that I like)about it. But, yes, it is nice to have a civilized conversation, where both sides can be examined equally. Given the state the world is in currently, that seems to be a novel idea, so I appreciate your ability to act as such. Take care.

Also, I never consider a civilized conversation, arguing, you made some valid points.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I am glad you are among the mature XDA'rs (like me) that CAN take other opinions or comments as that, just opinions/comments, but they are NOT an attack or bashing the original post (hell or even a negative comment) but often thats how they are treated. This means normally I get back a slew of argumentative comments that derail the train and goes nowhere which ends up hurting the user requesting the assistance (because we lost the train of thought and are now arguing over things that are not in the topic). I tend to offer both sides of the pendulum with playing devils'' advocate so both sides of the track are played through (so both opinions/recommendations are played out) so the user can see both sides. This is where I generally rub the users wrong with my comments. Often they are seen as attacks, but not just another opinion (or different facts).

In Android, there are a hundred different ways to accomplish the same thing, some are safer than others, so I often show both sides. Users tend to feel thats an attack so I am glad you didn't and saw it for what it was, just another side to think about.

Nice ROM.. It runs smooth to root I flashed the lineage recovery , and adb sideloaded magisk. Pass safety net fine with root, and its a bonus that lineage recovery works with this, I was trying to use your repainted theme app on a Samsung s10 but I can't get it going.. Is that app for pixels only ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:

Guys, does this ROM support unlimited GPhotos?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I don't use Proton, but I DO believe with MAGISK/modules, you can change the signature of the device (if it's even needed still) to get it working. I don't know because I don't use photos to backup/store so I can't 100% say it works still (it used to). If it's still needed, you could use the module to spoof the device type so it can mimic any device (that's in service and has the Google unlimited photos) to get it to work (when last using photos/backups, it used work). Thats how I would proceed, but again, I don't use Proton, or Google unlimited photos (I keep them safely secured my own way) so it's not from recent experience but past attempts and it worked then. I assume it's good to go still but I don't like the idea of all my personal pics online in Google's cloud (or ANYONE's cloud) for that matter, so I don't bother with this and disable the backup in photos.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Like Josh said above.

To get the unlimited GPhotos in original quality, you have to install Magisk, LSPosed, and then the Pixelify module. With this module, you can spoof any of the current Pixel's to get the features they have, so when you open the app, you want to spoof the original Pixel XL, and then you'll have unlimited photo backup at original quality.

You can also spoof the Pixel 6 to get features like Magic Eraser and whatnot. Pretty neat hacky thing.
