Just patch the boot.img with magisk and then fastboot flash that. The rest idk because I don't root. But it guess you need the universal safetynetfix if that's still a thing?

Question:

Is this ROM working with Pixel 4XLs face unlock? What about Soli features and so on?

I am tempted to try this one out, as I am having terrible issues with the stock ROM.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ny-hardcore:
Face unlock yes , soli no (no custom ROM supports soli)

Dude can you tell me how do you install it? i'm trying install from recovery mode through adb sideload but i have verify error...

I tried from original ROM and from Proton OS without luck...

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ny-hardcore:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one from descendant download)

Boot to recovery

Then adb sideload the ROM.

Sideloading from stock recovery won't work, so flash custom boot.img first

I'm having an issue with screen timeout. I set it to turn off after 15 or 30 seconds of inactivity and phone only dims but never turns off unless I hit the power button manually. Interestingly, if I reboot, the feature works. Unfortunately after a while it stops working again. Anyone have a clue as to what it could be? I didn't have this issue on stock ROM. I want to continue to run this OS but I have noticed that if I don't manually turn off the screen my battery takes a big hit from not timing out the screen if I forget.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I don't have that problem at all, and this is has been my DD for the last few days (since dropped I only switched to AOSiP for 2 days) otherwise its been this ROM or LOS (when needing A11 which is RARE these days). I am basically on A12 (this ROM) now but nothing else for my DD, so this ROM has been THOROUGHLY and heavily tested!

That being said, part of my build out is that I do turn off the wake on notification, I disable wake on lift, I disable active Edge (as I have seen this keep my device awake by accidental touches). Also I disable anything that wakes my device, anything in the lockscreen notifications that turns on screen or wakes up, I disable. My screen most definitely turns off, and goes to deep sleep overnight so my best guess (based on the lack of information provided) is that its something in your setup or apps configured afterwards.

I don't see this as a ROM issue because I cant reproduce it myself and I am running the same setup you are. It works how it should work on my side so to me, it feels more like a user setting or app change causing it but IDK what yet based on no info (but PLEASE do NOT take this comment as an attack)! I am NOT attacking you nor saying you did anything wrong, I am merely saying that possibly an app is misbehaving, or a setting isn't working as intended and causing this issue.

Without more information, I left to guess at your setup so I can only make general suggestions but I would definitely check your wake options, your screen settings, security settings, and lockscreen options. My device hardly touches my battery life and once the screen is off, and my device is asleep, it will idle forever, its fantastic. I highly doubt its ROM related is my point based on my results, so if it were me, I would rebuild it from scratch. Once cleanly rebuilt, then without doing anything else (no apps, no setting changes, nada, NOTHING BUT the OS installed), then test the screen off. Betcha it works as expected, or at least points you to why its happening so you can fix it. Then once you figure out it works by design (or figure out what's causing it), see if you can rule down the app or setting thats causing it, then adjust your methods and use a different option. Basically its trial and error to figure out what and where its breaking on your side, and why, so whatever you have set or installed thats causing it needs to be changed to a different method.

All I can with 100% authority is that I do not have this issue on my side, so either rebuild and test until you find the issue, or provide us with more info and I will try to help you rule it down.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QbanXpress:
It seems to have corrected itself. I toggled off and on the music listening/identifying in the background setting and now it seems to be timing out the screen properly. ROM has been perfect otherwise since day 1. And now with this fixed on my end, I'm excited for the next update. It can only get better. Thanks

Edit: after some troubleshooting it seems the problem was really the magic gestures app. After turning off all the magic gestures, phone has not had any issues going into sleep mode for several days. When magic gestures was turned back on, timeout issues returned.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Oh right on, I am VERY glad to hear it!!

Thanks for the feedback and confirmation! It's good to hear because as I said, its not a ROM issue from what I see from my side. Plus since I cant reproduce it, that usually means its not in the OS (ROM) but somewhere else so I am glad its resolved. When its an unknown issue like that and when I cant reproduce, it tends to be difficult to pinpoint and difficult to help users remotely.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] japanicana83:
Downloaded the last version just fine. Now trying to download the latest version download keeps disappearing and then accusing me of "cheating." After trying incognito mode, now it always shows "disable adblock" even when I universally disable chrome's ublock. extension. Love the rom but HATE the website.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I also struggled with the downloads using my phone, I switched to my PC and it wasn't perfect (far from it) but it DID work eventually. I found the captchas are annoying and the underlying issue but it DOES work better on PC. I just had to retry it a few times, and redo the captchas a few times, then it worked from my PC.

It did NOT work AT ALL from my phone so IDK if its a temp issue or just a mobile rendering/viewing issue. My PC worked so I can only imagine yes, its a mobile (rendering) issue, but IDK. Use the PC if you cant get it going on phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] japanicana83:
I've tried both from my phone and my PC last night and this morning. I just tried again from my PC and it's still complaining about adblock so the countdown won't even start (it also complains about adblock in incognito, even though I have no extensions authorized to run under incog.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Yeah, the download seems to very inconsistent. For me, downloading the rom took a couple tries, but the boot.img took more than 10 attempts. Nothing to really do besides keep trying. p:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dr. Madd:
I wonder how many users this ROM loses because of the download website? Unfortunately I think I've given up. Can anyone recommend another great ROM?

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] japanicana83:
I did that. Still refused to download.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dr. Madd:
When I do that. It then tells me to disable my adblock.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
AWESOME! Thank you!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
One thing to watch out for (at least with my setup/experience), make SURE you set it this way, or you might loop on the lockscreen trying to face unlock. I had to rebuild 7 times until I figured out what caused it with this setting in the pic.

Make sure its set to swipe, not detect, or it will loop, but once set to swipe, it works fine, same with face unlock (apps and device/lockscreen):

WAIT its this one too, make sure this is not enabled (this may be all thats needed to prevent the loop):

OK, sorry for the multiple update/edits but this was CRITICAL! If you have all 3 set, you wont be able to login after a reboot (no way to enter PIN). BUT if you set "Allow Face unlock on lock screen" WHEN SWIPING + DISABLE SCRAMBLE/QUICK UNLOCK, it will work fine, and allow face unlocks. If you neglect this, you wont be happy, so kepe it in mind but other than the login bug, its rock solid so far!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ny-hardcore:
It's the scramble one I guess. The others should be fine.

I think it messes up the pin you input so it's wrong and that why it won't unlock
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yup agreed (and was just confirming the same thing), I believe its just the scramble option. I say this because I left everything default, but did them one at a time.. As soon as I enabled the scramble, it locked up and went haywire, so I agree. DO NOT SET SCRAMBLE or you will be sorry, but everything seems REALLY solid!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I would also suggest adding in the old mobile/WiFi (I personally hate the new A12 bogus all-in-one). I think its a TERRIBLE change Google made but hey, to each his/her own so I revert using ADB. I would like it included in the ROM (if its not frowned upon by the descendant dev team):

adb shell settings put global settings_provider_model false

adb shell settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "wifi,cell,$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles)"

I personally hate the new method (internet - all in one QoS

JUNK

), so I am always reverting it with A12 install/update. If its pulled into the ROM, this would be permanent (until Google updates the firmware and changes it of course), so let me know your thoughts but otherwise its ROCK SOLID! I have been using it as my DD all day yesterday / today, no issues whatsoever (other than the reported lockscreen pin bug yesterday)!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QbanXpress:
what am i doing wrong to update the rom? I put the phione into fastboot mode and i keep getting the error:

To the DEVS, if you need someone to keep this device's rom updated quickly, let me know. I have a powerful Windows/Linux machine to compile the rom

I tried to flash this rom on Pixel 4xl but it's still missing Widewine L1 ( Now it's L3 ) even I passed SaftyNet
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QbanXpress:
Thank you for the rundown and reminders 😂

I finally got it to work. The issue was that my phone was able to receive adb commands but no fastboot commands. After days of trying i figured out that for whatever reason I was missing bootloader drivers (not android drivers) on my PC. So when phone entered bootloader mode, PC couldn't see it. I downloaded them from Google and everything worked as it should after the fact.

Ready for next update.

Also, ROM is amazing as was the previous version. loving the ability to remove the gestures pill. Great work 👍

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QbanXpress:
My issue is different from yours..i had no problem unlocking my phone. Pin unlock works fine. The only feature i see that does not work is quick pin lock....meaning that even with the option enabled, i still have to confirm my pin after entering it to get past login. Before i would type my 4 number pin and immediately it would unlock without having to hit the enter key. Hope that clarifies
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
It's the same thing, same bug, my pin works fine as well so does face unlock and so on. It's only that 1 option that affects all of it. Meaning pin isn't the issue, and works perfectly fine, but the option noted in my post affects what you're referring to.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QbanXpress:

can this rom pass safetynet when rooted

Thank you Sir for your quick response
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
No worries, it's pretty dang good, I'm ROOTed but pass safetynet and better yet, my duo healthcheck by disabling root for all apps but those that need it, that along with LSPosed, and safetynetfix is all you'll need. You will have a rock solid A12 with root, passing SN, and appearing as NON ROOTed so it's the best of all worlds. On top of it I use the MAGISK module called "addon features for pixel devices" to give me the extra fine tuning to get it exactly how I like it! Plus I also hack ADB for the separated WiFi/mobile and that's basically everything I need in a ROM, everything else is secondary.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wmhaganjr1013:
is the adb hack Wifi/mobile listed some place as i would love this also please i will read all of post again i may have missed it , so you are using LSPosed and safetynet fix i did not

That weird. so when you use Netflix. does it support full HD resolution?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
EDIT, after I wrote my reply, I opened NF but it does show SD as the max, YET I DL and watch offline HD (at least that what it says during) so who knows but it's HD in my opinion regardless of this output. I guess though technically according to the output, it's SD and I'm wrong with the HD comment but I'm not really sure I am based on my own experience with NF:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
I actually never paid any attention to this. Going to do some flashing tomorrow and see if I can get it to read correctly. I read up on it a little and not sure if it's a rom thing or just unlucky... according to the internet anyways.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
