So, on pixel experience 12.1+ (pixel 3xl), doesn't work usb audio and external hard drives, i tested original typec to 3.5mm jack(
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Could someone please point me to the instructions for installing 12.1+ over 12(regular - non+). I think I understand it doesn't require a clean flash, but not sure what "dirty flash" really means (just update with + instead of regular or what?).

Thanks VERY much

S
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
Dirty flash simply means you dont wipe data.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
That much I did understand, but do I just do an update by pointing to the + version instead of the regular to start the update or do I have to re-install using adb and connecting to my pc to apply the update?

Thanks for the fast reply tho'...

S
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
I'm not sure that the Updater will download the + version or if you will need to hook up to a PC and flash that way. If the Updater will download the + version, go ahead and try it. If not you will be hooking up to your PC.

That being said, and i know they say a clean flash is not required, it is a major change in OS. It's my opinion that a clean flash will yield the best results.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Thanks very much (again)...I'll see if anyone else has any input (have a busy weekend schedule), and maybe first of next week will try it if no-one else has any info.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
1.Updating through OTA updater won't cause any bootloop right?

2.Do I have to sideload magisk separately after updating to 12.1?

3.Can I just dirty Flash this over normal Pixel experience?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
Did you read before posting man? Please do so. Literally just answered that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
After Clean Flash of PE Plus under developer settings there is no option to completely hide the notch... Instead it has other options including Render apps under the notch area which is not neglegible... Anyways everything else is awesome... I'm downgrading to normal Version though as that Notch terrifies me... Keep Rocking!!!!!!🤟
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
My Bad Man Chill!👀
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
I did the same thing. Gotta hide that notch! I can get mods from aosp mods that do everything I need.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Had a few minutes and tried to update to the + version. It downloaded okay but the screen did not change to show the "Install" button so it would not do anything. I tried rebooting (to see if it could be installed via Recovery) but no joy there either. I'm guessing (unless someone else has definitive info), the only way to switch to the "+" version is via adb and PC connection....

That will have to wait (for me) until my schedule frees a bit...

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Still no good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Then plz Share it with me over here as well... Bcoz I really loved PE+ bcoz of lot more customisation options!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Can anyone please share me the exact stock build for Pixel 3 XL that can enable me to add an esim(Indian Sim)? I really need that sim to be added on this phone as I'm carry one extra device every single time with me which is frustrating at times! Please help!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rockman501:
Does anyone know if camera quality is worse when using custom ROMs?

Specifically with pixel experience but also just in general when using custom ROMs compared to stock?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
You don't need a third party mod to hide the notch on the Pixel 3 XL.

Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Display cutout -> Change to "Hide" -> Reboot phone
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Slim2none4u:
That option is not there on PixelExperience plus. Had you read the whole conversation you would have known we are talking about a custom ROM and not stock Pixel 3 firmware. Also, the regular version of PE does have the option where as the plus version does not.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
I'm sorry I don't have time to intricately comb through XDA threads. Don't be rude to people trying to help you. I'm not the one having the problem. 😎
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wangdaning:
Quick question is this using the same method of active edge as all of the other 12 roms (the Proton one)? Meaning limited options and only single squeeze?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Man the ROM is freezing up like crazy from couple of days... Restarting my phone for almost 3-4 times everyday... Plz help me
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
I ended up getting the Pixel 6 Pro since I wanted it anyway, but I'm still trying to figure out what is wrong with the Pixel 3 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rczrider:
@ReallySnow: where (or how) is this ROM modified to report the phone as an OG Pixel for unlimited original-quality Photos storage, but Pixel 6 for camera features? I pulled the build.prop and only see references to crosshatch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dewin_prins:
I installed this rom on my Google Pixel 3 XL but i have one problem my sim card is not detected ? How do i fix this ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Perhaps try removing it and reinstalling it? I didn't encounter this issue when migrating to this distro, but I've seen it in the past with other distros on other phones, and this has always been my go-to solution.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dewin_prins:
Alle other roms work tho that's what i find very weird. I never have problems with pixel experience this is the first time
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Hmm. I'm not sure then.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Over36Clock:
hello, everyone has problems with the built-in voice recorder? very quiet recording, third-party voice recorders write loudly and clearly. the problem is not in tenlephone
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RoadXY:
Had this once. Insert sim before installing. If you insert sim after installing, it isn't recognized.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dewin_prins:
This worked thanks mate! But how does that work ? With other roms it works even if i install it without the sim
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RoadXY:
Yup, I know. Don't know why, only know the solution.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dewin_prins:
Thats really interesting. Thanks for the fix tho ! I owe you one
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rczrider:
Pretty sure there's something up with the GPS on the 5/17 build. At least, I installed it on 3 different Pixel 3s (all blueline) and none of them have working Google Maps. It never updates location. I cleared the app storage and verified it has the right permissions, but none of them work. Two have the non-Plus build and one has the Plus.

@ReallySnow, any ideas?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] vrmtm:
Same issue on 3XL nonPE. Not only GMaps, also Waze and other gps related apps can't establish gps connection. Issue appeared right after 05/17 update :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mattski:
Same problem and the phone will randomly freeze to where I have to restart it cause it is completely unresponsive.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Install Kirisakura Kernel... It'll solve the issue...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
I've been having this problem since the April update, and a fresh install hasn't fix it either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Just go and install Kirisakura kernel and save urself from frustration💪
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
In all my years of playing with Android, I've never messed with installing a custom kernel. It always sounded like a good way to make the system more unstable. Still, I suppose that at this point, I might as well give it a shot. I actually ended up replacing my Pixel 3 XL over this, but I would still like to get it working well enough so I can use it for playing with Xposed module development.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Yeah the only con to that kernel installation is ur microphone works very poorly... But that can be solved using Kernel Adiuter App and increase Micrphone strength to MAX... Worked like a charm for me...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Good to know. I will look in to it. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mattski:
Same, I don't see the point of installing a kernel and I have never used one in my experience with roms. For me it's like this is a Pixel device and it should be already stable. Freezing wise, it happens when it's charging sometimes and when temperature is increasing outside of the device. Hopefully it can be fixed without using a kernel in the future.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Not only while charging or when overheated but also when I turn on bluetooth to connect my buds... And also in midnight when phone is completely in idle condition...

I missed my alarms for few days and was late for the job lol... So installing this kernel was only the option and it's working so smooth like butter...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Well to be fair, we are using a custom distribution here, so the promise of stability isn't on Google's shoulders here, although I should note that I'm also having this issue with the last official factory image as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Yeah maybe this is an android 12 issue for Pixel 3 series
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
Turning the GPS off and on again solves the issue.

BTW it happens to me with Google maps only for car navigation, if using it regularly I get a fix

Also works fine with organic maps.

But yeah, it's a weird issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] vrmtm:
Another 0517 issue: some web video stops immediately after start, but only if playing with sound, muted plays fine (tried on browsers - chrome, brave, duckduckgo). Example could be FB video.

Just doublechecked with fresh installs:

0502 - everything ok.

0517 - stops immediately.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rczrider:
weird double post
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rczrider:
There doesn't be an actual fix, yet, but @spezi77 put out an update to PixelDust on Saturday and notes in the Issues section:

I don't know if this works on PE, but I assume so. EDIT: I actually wrote this yesterday but forgot to post. Since then, @DigitalDreamer says it works. Settings > Location > toggle off/on "Use location"

I went back to PixelDust because of the lack of response from the dev in this thread after tagging them 6 days ago, and because it looks like at some point PE stopped spoofing OG Pixel for the purpose of unlimited original-quality Google Photos upload, whereas PD still does it.

Also, something is buggy with the PE ROM that prevents me from being able to download certain apps (Disney+ was the last one I checked) from the Play Store; it says it's not supported (but it sideloads fine). I haven't found any apps that are locked out using the PD ROM. I've had this issue with LineageOS in the past, too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JovialQuestion:
USB in TWRP 3.6.1_11-1 Android 12.1 Pixel Experience.

When I flash TWRP via recovery I never get access to the usb_otg. However. After flashing in EX-Kernal manager without installing the kernal I now have access to the USB port in TWRP. I'm not sure the specifics as to why this happens. It worked for me. I hope this helps.

PIXEL 3 BLUE LINE NOT XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RandomPRSN:
Can anyone confirm the overall stability of the latest version? And does GPS lock as it should? 🌞
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AbidAzmain:
What's the battery backup like on Crosshatch? Is it improved? Also, is this ROM more power-efficient than stock ROM?

Plus, does this ROM have official GCam?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mattski:
Right but it's been ok the past few days other than the GPS issues.

Thanks for that fix, was wondering how to fix it and that helped!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JovialQuestion:
I do not seem to have this issue. pixel experience is quite reliable for me. I was on pixel dust and the brightness toggle would kill my display by making it all white like a spotlight. Then the UI crashes when I change wallpapers on it then fails to boot as displaying over other apps did not work. But this one has been amazing. Even the DSU sideloader works on it with 13 gsi. most of these pixel experience plus roms don't work for me. This one is great. Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] WHD6523:
Can confirm that exists.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dussycole92:
Just picked up this phone a few days ago and rooted it and flashed the pixel dust rom. I like it after installing the kernal. I'm jw how does PE stack up against it? Battery life, performance etc? Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Well in my personal experience... It was a good ROM but just was very poor with running two apps at once(Remember I'm not saying Multitasking bcoz this phone doesn't have big RAM to support that).... So I now switched to Lineage OS 19.1... It can run two apps at once and also is really smooth... No framedrops and less google apps that consumes RAM like crazy... Hope this will help... Although I appreciate PE Developers u guys r awesome puttin in new life for this joke of a phone so no hard feelings there...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mattski:
Took your advice and installed the kernel. What a big difference! Was getting tired of the freezing in the Pixel Experience, now it runs extremely smooth. Thank you!

With latest Google Camera app update version, 8.5.300.450594193.08, after launching app it stops working every time. App update uninstall helps.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
Yeah I'm seeing the same behavior on my phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Ditto on the camera issue...also, maybe related; I no longer have "automatic" QR code action. Earlier in my experience with PE on the 3XL, I had the typical response to taking a picutre of a QR code of it asking whether I wanted to Open (if QR was a URL) or whatever was most appropriate for the main function of the QR code. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a supplemental app doing this since I haven't installed or removed one since installing PE. Am using PE Plus if that makes a difference....

Otherwise, it seems to be great and working fine till now....

Does Google Camera Magic Eraser work on PE 12? According to what I understand, Google Eraser is supposed to work on Pixel phones with Google Camera. What I don't know is if it is a separate app/program, or an option that I haven't found or what. I've looked in all the editing options related to Google Camera on the latest version on PE and don't find it.

Thanks in advance...

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Affordable:
Is this still an issue? I just installed the latest version and want to enable systemless hosts for Adaway.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i n f a m o u s:
As far as I know, this feature is only available for the Pixel 6 models.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cc101:
You can enable systemless hosts and see if you run into issues, and if you do just use the other kernel and you'll be fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Affordable:
Yeah it's still a problem. I tried systemless hosts with the PE kernel yesterday and it froze 3 times in a 12 hour period with the latest July update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] David B.:
I don't think systemless hosts has anything to do with it. I don't use systemless hosts, and yet, I still have this issue. I have even experienced it when trying to run my phone without Magisk or any system mods. I don't know what the problem is, but whatever it is, it's being caused my PE itself and not by modding PE.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cc101:
l I'm not sure what kernel PE uses, I am on stock and still had the freezing issues but once I installed kirisakura kernel the problem was gone.

I have a problem with this pixel experience rom everything from the compilations after May, I lose coverage, it comes and goes as it pleases without being able to do anything about it, I am without root, clean installation since the last android 12 of stock, the compilation of May this does not happen to me

They told me that this only happens on the first boot but I restart and it happens again, if the phone doesn't give me confidence and I have to go back to the stock or to the pixel experience of May ( PixelExperience_Plus_crosshatch-12.1-20220502-0820-OFFICIAL.zip ) and I repeat in that compilation it doesn't happen to me about leaving the coverage and coming back
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
This is happening in every Android 12.1 Rom for Pixel 3 series I guess... I'm on Lineage OS 19.1 and facing the same issue... Turning airplane mode on and off does the trick for me though... Have u given it a shot once?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stifmaster81:
and removing and putting the airplane mode, does the loss of network no longer happen to you? even if you reboot the device?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
No it's not completely gone... Signal is randomly lost and get's back connected in 2 minutes... Since I have no patience for 2 minutes I juts airplane mode it... Lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stifmaster81:
Well, you can't carry a ROM like that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beebenutz:
Install went smooth.

Mobile data shows an exclimation point with no mobile data connection.

Tried:

Reset network settings

Reset apn settings

Removed apn's

Applied default apn's

Did *#*#4636#*#* and tried alternate settings.

Also tried factory reset again.

Still no mobile data.

Any Ideas?

The same thing happened to me since the June rom, I'm using the May rom that doesn't fail. The worst of all is that I explained my situation on his telegram channel in his group in this forum, and no response... so I think, that he is not interested in responding to those problems that happen to people ,yes... you have to donate and donate
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beebenutz:
opps
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beebenutz:
That's strange, when I tried to refresh the page a couple hours after posting this, my post was gone.

I thought someone deleted it.

Maybe mobile data only works after you donate?

I went back to stock rom with root.

Everything works correctly on stock.

Funny how the first thing listed is what works in this rom including mobile data, then it says to let him know what doesn't work, but the info fall on deaf ears.

Oh, well could have been a good rom.

Where is this "May rom"?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stifmaster81:
nobody says anything, nobody solves anything, I will try the August evo that came out today but the ROM is not uploaded yet, if you have Telegram I can send you the one for the month of May, since here, I don't know

You don't have to donate to have working mobile data, thats just ridiculous.

I dont use this phone for anything other than a media player and don't even have a sim in it.

When you say you went back to stock? Does that mean you are on the latest firmware for the pixel 3/xl 12.0.0 (SP1A.210812.016.C2, Jun 2022) 3XL Link 3 Link

We got a late update in june after what was supossed to be our last in February.

Start there and then follow the O.P. and be sure to wipe.

Also check the change log for june. https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2022-06-01
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashwin Kale:
Hey this is kind of a stupid fix I came up with... Bt just replace ur current sim card with any random sim card in ur family or friend for 10 secs and after that put ur own sim back again in the phone... I don't know how bt It worked like a charm for me... And since then I haven't faced any issue regarding mobile data and signal.... Hope it works for u too...🤞
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stifmaster81:
the same thing happens, it loses the signal and comes back, with the June stock of google pixel 3xl and pixel experience of August
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stifmaster81:
evo x august patch does not go off the network and comes back, so I think it's because of pixel experience
