I can't actaully :/

I'd love to help be more accessible, but we _barely_ fit GMS right now in our small system partition. Had to cut talkback and TTS due to this.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] christopherjw:
I understand. Thank you. This works really well. I was able to independently flash and install the screen reader and speech engine using ADB. As long as I have ADB access after booting for the first time, I can get this working without any sighted assistance. I like the minimalistic install as well.

How do I update this in the future when new versions with newer security patches become available? Can I boot into fastboot, select slot B, boot TWRP and then flash the new zip over the existing install in slot A?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Don't do any of that, don't use TWRP - just open the Updater app and update!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] christopherjw:
I checked the updater and it said Lineage OS 18.1 October 8 2021 was available. I ran the update and it told me to reboot. I did that and it still shows up and looks like it's trying to install again. Will it properly show me new versions when they become available and allow me to update? Is this behavior normal?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Yes. I just posted a new update today you can take.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] christopherjw:
Why do I have to clear the Play Store app data every time I reboot? If I don't, I can't download or update apps.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Something ain't right. You just unsalted the ROM, no add-ons?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] christopherjw:
I just installed the zip and then manually installed TalkBack and Google TTS via ADB.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
I'd try a factory reset - I don't have that issue, nor does anyone else I've heard from.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kennkanniff:
I have installed my own baked version of this rom on my dads phone and its working great! Thank you.

I also added npjohnson/android_vendor_google_pixel to roomservice but the apps do not seems to be included. How do I include them in the build? I sideloaded GoogleCamera.apk and it works fine.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] christopherjw:
Performing a factory reset didn't fix the issue. I'll wait until you release the December patches and perform a clean flash. Thank you once again for this. My Pixel has been revived and I get to use the awesome multi-finger TalkBack gestures introduced with Android 11!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
yeah, you won't be able to build exactly this, you would need a private gapps repo. You need to build with something like MindTheGapps included, then hand include the product.mk file
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
IMS (VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling) are fixed. Next build will have it remediated.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] astrod:
Awesome news! Thank you so much for your work on our (still) awesome OG pixel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
First official build for sailfish will be Saturday night.

For those of you still on my builds - you can't flash officials without wiping - but good news, you are welcome to stay on my builds, and they will continue to come out monthly. Up to you.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
when 18.1 builds drop, I need something from y'all - I'm colorblind asf - need some testing, SRGB toggle in dev-settings - does it work?

If it doesn't, please comment and I'll merge this https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_google_marlin/+/324955
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mitchst2:
Fantastic news
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] activadroid:
just installed (after wipe, according to official instructions) on Sailfish previously LOS17.1 & made a call. Seemed to work. Thank You !
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Can you pls test SRGB mode in dev settings? See if it works?

I am turbo color blind lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] UnOrdinary:
It's seems no one testing it!... I am on marlin so until build get release i can't test it either!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] activadroid:
I am familiar with CMYK from working with color laser printers years ago, and knew what RGB was from TV work before that, but had not heard of sRGB.

So I googled various articles.

I then changed to sRGB selected in the Developer Options settings.

Then backed out of settings to google search for color pictures.

They look the same as before changing the dev setting.

What difference am I looking for ?

Are there other settings to change to increase / decrease intensity of one color versus another ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
If you aren't seeing it on the stock wallpaper it isn't working. Sad.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] activadroid:
I see black & shades of green / (turquoise ?) on the stock wallpaper background.

the various icons have full range of color (red, blue, green, yellow, etc).

Should I see full sRGB range of color pallet in that background ?

or do i need to reboot ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
It enforces SRGB color mode as opposed to Google's saturated one. You can try a reboot.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gverma1:
Non sRGB gives brighter and vibrant colours, maybe slightly cool (bluish).

sRGB mode gives more subtle and truer colours with no artificial brightening. You should be able to see the difference across the board.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] activadroid:
I am 64. Maybe it is my eyes ? [edit: BTW: i do recognize the oversaturation problem on a TLC TV we own, compared to the others. So this is what I am looking for ]. I just tried comparing Marlin running razorloves 09 Feb ver of 17.1 to the Sailfish with NPJohnson ver of 18.1 from 26 Feb. I pushed brightness on both to 100 %. Then looked at screens with all default app icons side by side. They look very similar to me. Sailfish maybe a bit brighter even. Both phone circa 2016, but both used before I got them & maybe one has much higher usage ? Do OLED displays dim like old LEDs after high on times ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] activadroid:
I also just tried changing the marlin running 17.1 to sRGB mode and back a couple times. I don't see a difference. Was sRGB functional on 17.1 ? is there a reference image I could download & see a more visible difference than just using the default icon colors ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] uzivatel-pixelu:
Hello, I created an account just to tell you: Thank you so much for the ROM.

I also tested sRGB, but do not see any difference.

So far I haven't encountered a problem, if I do, I'll be delighted to report it.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gverma1:
Difference between sRGB and non-sRGB is quite visible in LOS17.1.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] herooftimeloz:
Should we use Opengapps or Mindthegapps with Saturday's build? OP states Opengapps pico but the Wiki page says Mindthegapps
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Charcaroth:
I keep getting a TWRP error (20) indicating I have the wrong Gapps package regardless of which one I try to install after flashing Saturday's first official Lineage 18.1 package. The ROM flashes fine. However, the TWRP installer insists I need to install Gapps for Android version 9. I've tried wiping all partitions multiple times as well as installing OpenGapps (nano) for 9,10, and 11 as well as MindtheGapps for 10, 11, and 12 and the only LineageOS 18.1 build won't install any of them. I'm using TWRP 3.6.0_9-0 temporarily booted from fastboot as I can't seem to get TWRP installed into the recovery partition on my sailfish either.

** EDIT**

Guess who has two thumbs and forgot that issues with the unofficial ROM still apply to the official one until they are marked as resolved. THIS GUY! :rolleyes: As indicated in the OP, OpenGapps Pico for Android 11 installs just fine. I only mentioned the TWRP issue in this thread because I thought it might provide a clue why the Gapps wasn't installing.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piemanny:
I dirty flashed lineage os 18.1 on top of 17, how long does the boot animation meant to take?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] astrod:
Getting ready to upgrade from Los 17.1, very excited! Is it possible to install via twrp (after wiping everything) or do I need to use the Los recovery and adb side loading as described in the wiki?

Thanks so much!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] post-mortem:
You can use TWRP. It has been recommended not to install TWRP, but only to boot to it. Personally, I got bootloops whenever I tried to install TWRP, ever since 3.4.0-0.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] uzivatel-pixelu:
Hi, I noticed minor bug. When I set Show the network traffic in system tray even when I changed units to kb it shows 0 kb/s when I browse the web. It is the same on Wi-Fi as on LTE. It doesn't indicate the traffic even when I am trying to download something. It worked on 17.1. The phone restart didn't help.

The second thing: in data consumption overview for Wi-Fi there is app called Sam (which should be theme.icon.pack or something theme releated) and it downloaded 158Mb. Do you by any chance know what exactly did it download and why? I do not use any custom themes and I definitely didn't iniciate any download. Vessel (com.android.theme.icon.vessel) also downloaded 4,53Mb.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Use Lineage Recovery if you want support for bugs and such. TWRP for A/B is buggy at best.

thats... off - sounds like its misreporting network traffic, icon packs are OSS and have 0 net permissions.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] astrod:
Just installed the March 12 build and everything seems to work perfectly, so far! A couple of notes and a question:

1. I could not find the sRGB toggle in developer options, so could not test it (looks like it was hidden in the past for Nexus/Pixel devices?)

2. The network throughput indicator works fine for me (contrary to a previous report).

Question: I believe that I was passing safetynet on 17.1 when I checked a while back, but it does not pass on this build (unsurprising due to unlocked bootloader). Is there any hope for getting it to pass? (I should note I had Magisk on 17.1 but have not tried to install it yet on 18.1.)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
You'll need to play with magisk stuff it can pass but doesn't put of the box.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] post-mortem:
sRGB toggle was removed in the March 5 build.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Carlingo:
Volte doesn't work on my device. I've used the recommended recovery.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
did it work on stock?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
That's odd... What build are you using?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Carlingo:
I'm using the latest build without any modifications.

Edit:

It works. It seems to be a issue with my provide.

Anyone have issues syncing with a WearOS device on LOS 18?

I installed LOS 18 today, and my phone and watch won't find each other over Bluetooth. I cleared data and updated the WearOS app, and restarted both devices. Nothing seems to be working.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] post-mortem:
After many, many attempts, I can get the 2 devices to pair, but they don't seem to be able to communicate. The WearOS app can't add the watch because it doesn't see it, and the watch can't communicate with the phone. Toggling Bluetooth off/on on either device (or restarting) permanently kills the connection. The only way to re-pair them at that point is to forget the device within the Bluetooth settings.

I am currently at a loss with this. Has anyone successfully gotten this OS to work with a WearOS device?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] johndoe901:
Hello everyone. I have a really weird bug. I have a spare OG Pixel and decided to bring it back to life. Happily flashed LineageOS (~april 26th build), flashed magisk, acc and systemless hosts modules, also installed f-droid and adaway. Then I suddenly realized that when the phone is connected to my 5GHz Wi-Fi, the other devices are unable to work over the same Wi-Fi, the ping rises from 58ms to enormous 1700ms or even stops working at all. I see no such issues with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. I did not have such problems on latest stock firmware. Can anyone help me to debug or fix this?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Francesco Libera:
Hi everyone! I'm here to ask if the option to upload media in original quality for free on Google photos is still working on LineageOs. Thanks in advance and have a great day!

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] post-mortem:
In case someone else has the same problem and comes across this, I'll say that factory resetting the watch will likely fix the Bluetooth connectivity issue ("Disconnect and Reset" through the watch's settings menu).

Hi everyone! Flashed the 27 April build about a week ago with open gapps pico without any problem. The rom works fantastic! Very smooth, less battery drain, much free storage space compared to stock, google photos free unlimited storage. Many thanks to the developers for keeping this marlin alive!

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
I just installed this ROM on my Pixel 1 (32GB) and wow, I wasn't expecting it to be this much better than the latest stock ROM. It's literally 2-3x faster, and battery life seems to be better. It's so much smoother than the stock ROM (Android 10).

I just noticed that all Pixels except the Pixel 1 and Pixel 6 have LineageOS 19 builds. Is there a hardware limitation that prevents the Pixel 1 from running Android 12? Or is there already work in progress to bring LineageOS 19 to the Pixel 1?

Just wondering if you'd know if it's necessary to revert the partitioning done during the install of Pixel Experience ROM?

@npjohnson I'm having some issues trying to update LineageOS on my Pixel. When I go to the updater, it says I have the build from May 7, 2022. There's a new version from May 8, 2022 (which is 693 MB) but my phone can't seem to install the update. When I press install after I've downloaded the update, I get an "Install error". If I press install a second time, I don't get the error. Then I have to reboot my device to finish the update but after the reboot, my device is still on the build of May 7, 2022 and it still says the May 8 build is available to install. The current build number is RQ3A.211001.0010f8969de1d

Edit: I was able to install the May 14, 2022 build

I'm sorry if you get these types of questions a lot but do you know if the Pixel 1 will get support for LineageOS 19?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] paperjam252:
LineageOS 19 based on Android 12 is now officially available

LineageOS is making the jump to Android 12 as base with LineageOS 19, bringing along several key changes across the board. Read on!

www.xda-developers.com

It looks doubtful LOS 19 will be officially ported to the original Pixels. The old 3.18 kernel being incompatible with eBPF seems to be the issue.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] OFFSPRINGER3:
I saw a message that android 12 runs at OG Pixel but so far there are bugs. In general, it is still unknown whether there will be Android 12 for Pixel 🤔

I went to the Nehus 6 forum and was surprised that even he has a Lineage 19.1 😶Why the OG Pixel is always the last

Because the Nexus 6's Android 12 has _dun dun dun_ Broken BPF! Like I said, we can get m1s1 running 12, but **** will always be broken. No working around it unless someone back ports BPF.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Francesco Libera:
Not rooted
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
@npjohnson the new June 4, 2022 build seems to be broken. Every time I tap INSTALL, it crashes the updater app. I attached a screen recording. I can also generate a bug report if that's useful to you.

Edit: simply restarting my device fixed it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
It's sadly a known bug, sometimes after it's successfully installs. The reboot button doesn't pop up, some people have tried to fix it but can't really isolate the issue.

If it ever happens again, know you can just reboot the device and it will actually update.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
Is it an issue just related to the Pixel 1 or an issue with LineageOS 18.1 in general?

I'm just duplicate message from Pixel XL forum

Post from Lunarixus about Pixel 1/XL kernel:

FOR DEVELOPERS: Pixel Linux 4.4 kernel source

There are many bugs due to catch you with this kernel source but I thought I'd make it public because the kernel does boot, it just needs someone to do some userspace work to get it to boot Android

Source is now public at: https://github.com/Lunarixus/msm-4.4-marlin

Maybe this could help bring Android 12 to our devices.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kellempxt:
thanks~!!! was looking to see someone mention that it still works with the unlimited Google Photos storage~!!!

i am still hoping that there will be an android 12 version for this device.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
There will not be unless someone ports a newer kernel version.

I'd love to use this ROM with my OG Pixel. Is there a tutorial or YT video showing how to do this? I'm not looking to brick the phone since I still use it every day.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
YouTube tutorials are almost always wrong and out of date, just follow the wiki guide, it's pretty straightforward
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
I don't know if this issue is hardware or software related but my Pixel can't play back 10-bit HEVC (HDR) video.

It just says "Can't play video". Can 10-bit HEVC decoding be added through a software update or does the hardware of the Pixel nog support 10-bit HEVC decoding? This comment says that the decoding is not enabled on the Pixel which makes me believe it's just disabled through software and not a hardware limitation.

Also, my phone is rooted so if there's a way to add support by flashing a Magisk module, I'll happily do that.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
There is no hardware backed codec, so you could try to render in software but that would lag like hell and not be usable.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
I would like to use the software decoding/rendering (even if it would be laggy) but that also doesn't work. No matter what video player I use, it just can't play the video. Not even a single frame.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] npjohnson:
Yeah, it's just not going to be able to do it if it's not hardware back, it's too high resolution and too high of a bit rate.

Software to coding just wouldn't do anything, you'd probably end up with corrupted buffers.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Joran01:
I got Android 12 running on my Pixel 1 (32GB)! (Sorry npjohnson if this is off-topic but a lot of people here are wondering if Android 12 will ever come to the OG Pixel and this confirms the Pixel can definitely run Android 12 (and probably even Android 13 that just got released))

After an entire day of tinkering and debugging, I managed to install the Android 12 GSI system image.

Edit: Google Photos unlimited storage works! Google camera also works!

Remember the "unmergable hack" that I said Lineage won't use because it straight up breaks all network traffic reporting and VPN traffic because BPF isn't present? Yeah - this GSI uses that. So, no, still no Android 12 device specific builds for m1s1.
