No my friend. The boot-twelve.img is just for initial (first time) flashing. The right one is the one you extract that from payload inside the zip. Anyways I'll share the right boot image you need to patch shortly.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Here's the boot image for patching via Magisk.

Hope it's not corrupted i zipped it in my phone.

Extract the zip there is boot.img inside.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Masern:
ah i understan, thank you very much
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bubble1999@gmx.de:
Sorry for being unprecise.

I do find the option "always show time and info"

But this turns on the AOD 100% of the time (such as the AOD would imply)...

However, in SuperiorOS 11 there was an option within AOD, to only turn on AOD after new messages, missed calls etc. (basically replacing a notification LED)

Is this function abandoned?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ramjisrk:
Hi, thanks for the update. I'm currently on stock A13 (beta 2). Do i need to flash stock 12l before flashing this MAY update or can i directly flash your boot+rom?

Kudos 👌👍
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
Can the May update be dirty flashed over the April update?

I downloaded the latest version of the ROM from SourceForge, and when I went to sideload the .zip from adb, I got the following error:

Error applying update: 5 (ErrorCode::kPostinstallRunnerError)
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Did I do something wrong?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
I've updated via sideload without any issues.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
Did you use fastboot flash boot <may_boot>.img, or just reboot to recovery?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ramjisrk:
I got the same error also. I was in A13 beta2, downgraded to stock A12.1 (may update), then flashed boot img (provided above) from fastboot, rebooted to recovery, side loaded MAY update rom but stuck in this error.😒

(PS : currently in A10)
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Guys as I'm switching to Pixel 6 the May update is the last release for SuperiorOS Android 12.1 for Pixel 4a. 🙌
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
Thanks man for all your hard work and giving us this ROM. We will miss you bro..! Farewell!!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ramjisrk:
OMG! Lucky pixel 6 users!!!

Sure we r going to miss this wonderful rom (updates)!. Nevertheless THANKS for your effort and support!

All the best!

Regards!

I havent built for this phone, and my last builds were for A8 for a Samsung S4. Is there any location of the boild instruction for this ROM for the Pixel 4a? for my previous builds, the big "trick"between success or failure was the local manifest having the Device, Vendor and Kernals for the device (and any ancillary components/drivers) and also the build scripts (to a lesser extent). Anywhere where these could be found? or a copy of your local manifest? Or is it automatically built as part of the build process as this is an official ROM? I previously only built unofficial ROMs so had to manually create the local manifests.

Maybe this ROM can live on with an unofficial build.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I guess it's about time for us to upgrade to a Pixel 6 as well :D

Thank you for your contribution to the Pixel 4a scene!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Everything is open source you can find the rom source and device tree links in the OP post. 🙌
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
If you can please try to make unofficial build when this official get close
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I would love to see SuperiorOS live on as well. I have tried a few other ROMs (not like there's a huge selection anymore, unfortunately), but SuperiorOS felt like the most polished and useful to me.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guru6969:
Yes, this ROM is my favorite of the available for pixel 4a. I just switched to pixelexperience because I want security updates and such. The background music recognition works much better on pixelexperience for some reason. IMS registration still fails while roaming though. :( And while I was at it, I flashed the stock ROM just for fun, it wouldn't do IMS either!! I'm going to test to see if it can even register on national Telcel towers in Mexico next week.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Chris0706:
Hi all, just switched from the A11 version to this. All working, but I really have slow charging on all my chargers which worked fine before.. 1500-2000mA in the past and after the update 300-600mA. Any clue how to fix this?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
So I wrecked my Pixel 6 within a week of purchase. Then I was without a phone for a while. Now I'm back to my Pixel 4a. You can expect an update but no ETA :p
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I assume you're going to get your Pixel 6 repaired soon though?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] maclick245:
Sorry to hear about your loss bro, but a warm welcome back. I've been combining the web for an alternative to this great rom but couldn't find any!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Voigt15:
Oh sad to hear, had a similar problem with my Pixel 4a, 3 weeks after purchase the purchase of 315€ I dropped it, and it immedatly cracked its screen. Repair would have costed 150€, but thankfully my state had just in that moment a "rather repair than replace" event going, where you got 50% of the repairbill reimbursed by the state, so it wasn't to bad.

But hey, atleast now there is a chanec again, to get an option to swap the navigation buttons and enable 180° degree rotation of the home screen, one of the few last things I miss from my xiaomi.eu rom of my Mi4C.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kkjb:
Sorry to hear your poor 6 crash. I've been looking at 6 (no pro) and "in the hand size" of 4a is perfect and I can't decide on 6 size... I really WANT the 6 camera though. I guess when 6A comes out might buy it then when 6 $ drops.

Now the really Great news :( your are back with your 4a! My other 4a still wants your creation with June updates!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
Thank you so much for the update!

I've updated by dirty flash and got this error message NFC/eSE/eSIM firmware update. This error keeps showing after every reboot.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
This happens only once after a reboot right?? Tap copy crash log URL and send the link from your clipboard. I'll look into it. Actually i have clean flashed the build as the phone was on stock. Also method of dirty flashing please.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
Crash log is impossible to have - one more error... :(

Dirty flash was via sideload, rebooted to recovery, apply update, adb sideload...

Same error in Pixel 6 was fixed in March build of CalyxOS - googled it. May be same solution is applicable for us.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
I'll check, mean while you can take logs via adb logcat from your computer and can attach it here.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kkjb:
June factory then clean flash, no crashes on device to device data transfer. Root and then this log.

https://bin.kv2.dev/~62c0893a08bb984d9dc622c8

Reboot and this again this one.

While entry here, another.

Memochō

Not my primary device, so can test but I'm not much help...can log and stuff though...Not immediately but can help?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
This happens only once per reboot right? I'll look into the logs and try n fix.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kkjb:
Memochō

Phone was idle for a hour, saw your message, then display on, when into settings to get rid of locate my device and change security swipe to display. I can't stand that and this happened. I don't use device at the moment.. Just saw your message...so technically same "power on no reboot session" as my last post.

Edit1. I am not able to help at the moment... I'm busy for hours. Hopefully another current build user can help?

Edit2. I let bake for 8 hours and used for 45 minutes, no more crashes...ymmv
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
It's ok bro. No obligation of helping or replying take as much time you want 🙌
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AlexKarimov:
I updated through the updater and haven't had any issues. I've also rebooted just to test it out but I'm also not rooted. Thank you for the update, I really didn't expect it that quick :)
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
It seems that after clean install on June's stock image that error was gone.

By the way is it possible to turn off Location notification in right bottom corner? It appears very often..

And Pixel style of weather icons are highly missing... :)
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Go to the bottom of developer settings and disable location indicator.

In weather settings page use the "nownew" icon pack. Which is pixel like.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
OMG! NFC/eSE/eSIM firmware update Error still persists!

Here is crash log: https://bin.kv2.dev/~62c2a88d08bb984d9dc623fd

Also location notification turns off only until reboot... :(

By the way is it possible to implement scramble layout feature for PIN entering next build?

Many thanks in advance for your efforts!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
This is strange is this happening after rooting the device? I'm using the build for almost 10 days but no such issue. That's strange. Yeah that toggle doesn't persist. The location indicator is new one so included it. Might remove next update. Until then you can use the toggle. Will try n implement scramble pin thing.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] .: SID :.:
Yes, I'm using root. Magisk 23 + increment in boot extracted from payload.

I've flashed rooted boot just after flashing firmware.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rail343:
Is it possible to get changing options for lockscreen shortcut buttons in the next update? Like camera instead of GPay or etc.?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Splendente:
Hello there!

I would like to know how you managed to "extract" the binary blobs for the Pixel 4a (sunfish) that you provides at

GitHub - SuperiorOS-Devices/vendor_google

Contribute to SuperiorOS-Devices/vendor_google development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Did you use android-prepare-vendor project or adevtool project?

I'm asking because I'm trying to build AOSP for this device, and it sees I don't manage to extract these blobs properly (I get an error during AOSP build about sepolicy) with none of these projects.

For reference about ths sepolicy bug, I opened an issue here for adevtool: https://github.com/kdrag0n/adevtool/issues/19

Kind regards
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
I used Android-prepare from grapheneos for blobs extraction. They have switched to adevtool now but you can reset the commits and use it for sunfish. As a matter of fact never faced this sepolicy error from sunfish-sepolicy :(
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Splendente:
I also did try it this way. GrapheneOS fork (since it's the only fork still updated) and reverted the commit dropping the "modern devices"' but I still did get an error during build.

However, if you managed to do it, I should be able to do the same: I'll try it again from scratch.

Are you sure you managed to do this for AOSP 12.1?

I was able to do it for AOSP 12, but started getting the errors with 12.1.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
I tried Android 12 didn't try 12.1. Maybe you have to fix then instead of starting form scratch.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Splendente:
If you didn't use android-prepare-vendor to get blobs for AOSP 12.1, how did you manage to it?

Looking at the history here (https://github.com/SuperiorOS-Devices/vendor_google/commits/twelvedotone), you seem to have the binary blobs for AOSP 12.1 since march 29th.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
I'm saying I didn't try building aosp on 12.1 i tried Android 12 initially while starting the bringup back in Oct 2021
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Previously you didn't give the whole error log it seems. Now I understood the actual error https://github.com/GrapheneOS/platf...mmit/cedfeeb70103440834632a5bce077175ace0807a

Here's the fix
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Splendente:
Oh yeah! That's it! I was too focused on checking the commits on android-prepare-vendor, but didn't think it could come from somewhere else! Thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bubble1999@gmx.de:
Thank you very much for the update!

I struggled a bit getting the boot.img from last release, so I attach it here.

Hi !

I have one newbie question. I'm still on build spa2a.220505.002 and also rooted.

Now I received an update notification for June from SuperiosOS. Will I still have Root after update ? Or do I need to flash rooted boot again ?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bubble1999@gmx.de:
After the update you are no longer rooted and have to flash rooted boot.img again.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
This rom still getting update. Project still alive??

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
This is the best rom for pixel 4a. I don't know why but I always come back to this rom. This rom is like x for me. 😆
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
Yeah, I really loved using it as well. Shame its days are so numbered :(
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DiamondJohn:
But why? from what I read, its basically AOSP. What differentiates it from something like all the the other AOSP targeted ROMs with limited additional features?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
Because it's smooth with customisation less buggy.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DiamondJohn:
I have not tried SuperiorOS. Stock and Bliss have been very smooth for me, after a LOT of boot time configuration, that I personally do to improve any ROM I am running/testing.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Good news I have implemented that navbar keys inversion that you wanted. Maybe I'll update the rom on Sunday. Hopefully if I get time.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I honestly couldn't tell you. It just felt right? In a sense.

We have talked extensively about this on other threads and in PM as well, you know how I'm a sucker for the kind of freedom and customization that RR used to offer (and now cr does). Superior definitely had lot less customization options, but it was just enough for my taste anyway. No dealbreakers.

Also, I don't think I've ever encountered any bugs, dev was also super helpful, quick to response. I think he even implemented a tiny feature upon my request.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
Hah, would you look at my timing :D

I switched to another ROM only after you had mentioned that you bought a Pixel 6 and that you'll stop maintaining SuperiorOS.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DiamondJohn:
Actually, there is one thing that has a lag, but I had the exact same issue with the Stock A11 ROM, so was nopt too surprised when I found it also in Bliss.

When I switch apps using the recent apps UI, when I select/click on an app, there is a short but noticeable hesitation before the newly selected app goes full screen. Its not a deal breaker, it was also in the stock Google firmware and I havent checked if I can fix it. I have a suspicion the delay is caused as its data gets uncompressed out of ZRam and back into physical RAM. But thats just a guess for now.

Am I the only one who experiences this hesitation? I use to get it on Stock A11 as well.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
I can confirm that happens sometimes for me. But I have very minimal apps running so it's doesn't laggy often but yes sometimes I can confirm this. 👍
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
What type of configuration you do?? Can you tell me ?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I'm also curious
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
Not at all.

I'm not fully aware what ZRam is (it's kinda like pagefile on windows/linux, correct?), but I'm fairly sure that this 'hesitation' is present when the app is no longer in RAM, so Android has to load it up again. I know for a fact that my Galaxy Wearable app takes a solid second and a half to open up. When it's been sitting at the end of my recents page for long enough, if I tap on it, again, it takes about a second and a half to open up. If it's still in RAM, it opens up instantly.

Obviously, this happens with apps other than Galaxy Wearable, but that's where it's most noticeable.

[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
What's that?? Can you explain more?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
It is widget for battery for earbuds and phone battery it was broken in previous build missing in this build.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Oh I think it was only present on May release because we had GoogleSystemUI & Settings port. I can see it's not working now. Its a widget by SettingsServices. No idea if I can get it to work without the port :(

Was it working on April release build?
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
I am not sure about April build, but it was broken in June. And it's not present in July build. 🙁
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
It's present for me on July but broken. It needs pixel port. I'll try n implement if I get enough time.

Yaa.. ohk no problem no issue if update comes little late. Thanks☺️
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:

[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lada333:
I'm not sure if this is of any help at all, because the ROM I'm using is not available on GitHub, but I just checked this battery widget on crDroid, and it works for me flawlessly.

Here's a link to the zip of the build I'm currently using.

crDroit itself has a GitHub page, but they don't officially support Pixel 4a.

Maybe you can make use of either of these sources.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Yes crdroid has that implementation of pixel port. I'll try n implement but depends on free time I get. Also A13 just around the corner so let's see.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
Even pixel experience has pixel ports.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:
Pixel port is done. I'll release soon with quick tap & adaptive charging.
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RAYAN SHAIKH:
Thanks man appreciated..!
[Google Pixel 4a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jayant_Deshmukh:

Changes:

* Quick Tap added

* Adaptive charging added

* The battery widgets shows phone & attached Bluetooth device's charge level

Note: Not pushing an OTA. Download manually and use "Local installation" from OTA app to install from your phone if not from a PC.

ZRam is not "kinda like" a page file, it IS a page file. The difference being that instead of the internal memory (lets call it the "disk" for simplicity), ZRam uses a compressed allocation of RAM. It is faster to compress / uncompress and then write/read to RAM than it is to the MUCH slower "disk".

Ater I posted regarding the lag, I used my device and didn't experience the lag on app switches. But then, I used my utility script which force closes all apps (greenify mimic), and THATS when the lag occurred, when I used the recent apps switcher. So not likely really any ROMs fault, but my own.

I think thats is way OT on this or any other specific ROM thread. Its probably better as an idea for its own thread.
