Nope, not the least bit, GCam works flawless for me, but I DL/install directly from the playstore. This means there are no mods running or any modified GCam itself, just the official GCam. I am also running the latest release 7/16 PixelExpierience and I use my camera HEAVY, like all the time, all day long.

My daughter is a professional photographer and has expensive/professional cameras, but when local or on road, she uses mobile phone so she doesn't have to lug the heavy cameras with her. She uses Crapple and he iPhone 12 MAX PRO (for any mobile shots), but uses my Pixel when getting any quick shots OR when I have to help her with taking a photo (for an ad as an example with the photographer in it). I/we (daughter) use my Pixel and my Google Camera literally every day, multiple times a day and it works FLAWLESS. I take my own personal pics with my same Pixel / GCam all day long as well, so if I am not using it, she is, and its perfect, no FCs here at all! No issues here whatsoever, but again, I am using the official Google Play version, direct from the Play Store, so not a modded GCam or anything. I also do not use anything crazy with LSPosed or MAGISK modules (just safetynetfix, LSPosed, and Pixel Add-On), but nothing that changes anything system-side. I am just mentioning this piece to show/prove the camera works out of the box with the official Google Camera. If you have anything heavily modded, or running 3rd party modules, or 3rd party GCam, try it fresh, with nothing installed but ROM. See if it works (it will), then start to rule down the bug by doing your normal process, step by step, until it FCs and you identify it.

Here are a few pics showing current version of GCam, ROM, and the GCam open and working (picture of my office desktop).

ONE THING I want to point out just in case, I am using the PLUS version, so keep that in mind:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yymin1022:
Does this rom support Motion Sense Feature? I mean that Prev or Next Music with Hand Swipe, or Stop Alarm ETC. Not just the Face Unlock. I've installed on May but it did not showed any menu for Motion Sense so I came back to stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
No. You'll only find this feature on stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dr. Madd:
Does anyone have trouble with rooting this ROM? When I root, the OS boots up. But the screen is non-responsive. I root with magisk. I take the boot file from google. Patch it, then sideload it. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I have no problem with rooting the Descendants ROM.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Why not use the boot.img that comes with the rom?

Not sure if that pays a factor in this situation but when I last used this rom, root worked fine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You are doing something wrong, I use this ROM and ROOT'd, no issues whatsoever. As curiosnoob pointed out, only use the boot.img with the released ROM, nothing else works right (NOT Google's boot.img, ONLY PixelExpierience (this ROM), all else will crash, also don't patch 3rd party kernels, ONLY default!

Sounds like you are using a kernel that's not supported, so ONLY ROOT the default stock boot.img FOR PIXELEXPIRIENCE not Google's stock or any other boot.img), and don't use 3rd party kernels until this is sorted out (but I can almost guarantee you this is your issue - 3rd party kernel or wrong boot.img).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoanvu1100:
do I have to do a factory reset after boot.img? I was upgraded to a newer Android version and I really dont want to do that
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Wait a sec, are you saying you were on a different version of Android, then flashed this ROM, without a factory wipe? If so, thats your issue, you cannot change Android flavors or ROMs without factory resetting (and expect it to work normally). Without resetting it, you leave behind your old OS, your old files, configs, ETC., these are overwritten with the ROM, but it doesnt know how to clean and remove the OLD stuff. Factory reset is the FIRST step in ANY ROM install, so yeah, ya need it (assuming I understood you right).

However, if you are on the SAME ROM, SAME Android, then no, no need to factory wipe after a boot.img install (assuming thats all you did) and the ROM is a dirty upgrade, or the Android firmware is factory/the same Android.

You gave almost two possibilities, so I answered both

Is this rom's battery sot better than the cook rom's now guys?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Impossible to answer a battery life question like this (and noted many many many times throughout all ROM forums). Battery life is per user based, based on that user's specific setup so you cannot compare apples to basketballs (even though they are both round objects, they are not the same thing, which is the same type of thing here (comparing apples = USERA's battery life based on that user's setup to USERB which is a basketball = which simply means this user setup their device differently with different apps and services) so one CANNOT compare the two against each other accurately. It's not the same thing so it can't be a one-on-one compare, but that being said, not everyone in this forum knows what you mean with your question layout, so you would be better off just testing it and reporting back to us your results.

One final thought/note, I was on this ROM for a long time, but I keep moving BACK to LOS for that single reason, battery life!! I get far better results (battery life / run time / performance) with LOS than anything other ROM (for obvious reasons), but not everyone loves LOS. It's a user type decision, what's critical to you, and what's a showstopper, only you can answer it, so test it, and let us know how it goes, it's your call what ROM/OS you choose. I DO get MUCH better battery life with LOS because of LOS being what it is by design (AOSP with NO bloat nor add-ons)!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Adding on to the last bit of your post here and is a direct example of user based battery, I'm pretty much a Google lover and use their apps on the normal, so I'm never really bloat free, but my battery life works perfectly in my case. Apart from that, during this day and age, you have access to a charger just about everywhere nowadays. Yesterday was the first time my phone hit 5% in months because I was being lazy to charge it, but without a doubt, LOS definitely feels lightning smooth. You just have to get used to the pure AOSP feel/look of it.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
It's the one that says recovery image.

Looks like you're better of waiting for a few days as the 13 beta version is dropping shortly. Looks like it may being uploaded right now since it didn't pop up for our devices 1-2 days ago when I looked.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend876:
I hope it will soon cause I'm just getting the best experience with this ROM really like it
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] monkeymechanic:
I checked the last months uploading times for our Pixel 4 and the maintainer pushed the latest updates at best 5 days after release and at worst 10 days after release. 13 Beta was dropped on the 13th I think so if we were to follow the previous times, i think its just a matter of 2~3 days. Fingers crossed!!

I'm looking to switch from stock since we won't be receiving any major official updates now and just waiting for the PE Sept release to drop.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend876:
Same here can't wait finger 🤞 cross as you said....I hope it's that are even 1 more day
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
so once again, a newb doesnt read ANYTHING, its in the first FRIKIN post, with the step by steps to install the ROM, yet obviously it wasnt read through and understood prior!!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I hate these frikin ridiculous lazy a$$ questions, asked and answered over and over and over, yet lazy newbs. dont want to do the work, just get the results, then moan when things things dont work, they dont work because you didnt research and do it right!

I am done answering BS questions like this (and I urge you to as well curious), lets stop answering and helping lazy users. In the end, its worse for us to help them by giving them the answers, and not forcing them to research it, so users like you and me, need to stop giving in and helping. Instead, we need to force them to research and figure it out themselves, then ask for help after they tried and failed (but as long as they research, we should help), I jsut wont help users who dont do the due diligence first! Going forward, I am just going to point out the answers, over and over and over, and only help when there's a true question for assistance, but ONLY AFTER the user has researched it.

Its such a waste of time helping users who are too lazy to do the research themselves!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
And I do realize, I will shoot myself in the foot time and time again by not listening to my own words of advice and help. It's in my nature, so, I am sorry I keep snapping and getting annoyed with the same questions asked over and over, but my mentor side kicks in, and I tend to help, then get mad at myself for doing so and blast it out here. I know I sound like a looney toon at times, but it comes from a good heart of trying to help and prevent users from having self-inflicted wounds (by not researching before asking). That mentor side comes from 30sh years of being a senior system engineer/architect, so it's really all I know anymore (technology and mentoring newbs). I manage a large team of engineers, and together we manage a run a large cloud MSP for multiple financial clients, so I am always teaching someone, something, and it spills out here.

All this to say, I am sorry to everyone everywhere if I sound like I am attacking anyone, at any time, I am not. I am actually mad at myself most times for helping users I shouldn't be helping. Then I tend to get annoyed with myself and deflect and scream in these forums (which helps no one), and I shouldn't do it. I am going to try and be better at this so I can help, but not get annoyed and shut down.

Well, is Pixel 4 still being supported by PE or did the maintainer just forgot to push the update or something? 🤡
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I wont speak for the dev, but the website shows 12 is discontinued for 13 beta coming (but I don't have any information):
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
This. I've been keeping a watch on this as well.

@monkeymechanic

As for the progress, based on looking around the Telegram group(PixelBoot's own group), there has t been much information for the Pixel 4/4XL but he did release it for the Pixel 2 first, then the 3 not too long ago so my only guess would be that the 4 is next.

Your best bet for information is Telegram nowadays, so just poke your head into there.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Me too, I will test/try A13 using PixelExperience when released (but no ETA yet). I will keep watching it as well and note it here when I see a test version available. Also, if you see it before I do, please let us know when it's available!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
AGREE!!

Us devs, do this in our own time, when we have time. I myself, stopped baking ROMs many years ago for XDA users. I stopped baking ROMs because of this annoying question (asked again and again), as if we devs, owe anyone, anything (on a timely basis).

NO ETAs ever, or we risk losing the dev....

Nice rom but why this rom can't change backup mode on google photo, and when i backup, it's full storage
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anonras:
it should be unlimited Original quality. but for some reason it wont work. so no unlimited backup at all... hope the dev fix in android 13..

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Are you guys rooted?

If so, install LSposed and use a module called Pixelify. Using that, you can spoof to a Pixel XL and have unlimited backup at original quality.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Caith:

I tried this rom on my pixel 4 and i did a factory reset after sideloading and flashing magisk and the phone couldn't boot into the os due to "no valid slot to boot"

I sideloaded the rom 1st

rebooted recovery from pe recovery

flashed magisk through sideload

reboot

Recovery gave me a error saying "Cannot boot to android"

so i did the factory reset

It was going good until the "erasing titan m" and the phone glitched and rebooted to fastboot

and then the "no valid slot to boot" error occured and couldn't get the rom. had to flash stock?

Any fix!

NOTE: I WAS ON THE ANDROID 13 BETA BEFORE FLASHING RECOVERY AND ROM!

from the pe website, i was using the build for "12" and under 2022/7/16

A heads up for anyone flashing this on a brand new phone shipped with android 10. The guide suggested updating to the latest stock 12.1.0 version available prior to flashing (SQ3A.220705.003.A1, Jul 2022) - however flashing this image and then flashing PE resulted in my Verizon SIM not being able to activate from the PixelExperience rom. I went back and tried the initial stock 12.1.0 release instead (SP2A.220305.012, Mar 2022) and only then was PE finally able to succesfully activate my sim.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MidwestDrummer:
I've owned two of the RAVPower Turbo 10W Max Wireless Charger with Universal Compatibility (lol) for a little over two years now, and both have operated with my Note 9 flawlessly the entire time. I received my S22 Ultra yesterday, and whenever I place it on one of the wireless chargers, the phone display a message in the notification drawer that says "This fast wireless charger isn't compatible with your phone, so you're charging at standard speed."

I did a little bit of digging on Google and various reddit subs, and it appears that several Samsung phones with One UI 3 and above simply will not allow fast charging with 3rd party wireless chargers. However, in some of my digging, I've seen some people report that they've had success fast charging or super fast charging their Samsung phones with 3rd party wireless chargers.

Is there any way around this with my current charger? It only maxes out at 10W, but I'm fine with that for now, if I can get it working. I'll eventually upgrade to a couple of 15W super fast wireless chargers, but I don't want to do it immediately if I don't have to.

Has anyone had success wirelessly charging their S22 Ultra with 10W or 15W 3rd party wireless chargers?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Get a Samsung 25w brick/cable for around $20.

They last years.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MidwestDrummer:
I'm specifically inquiring about wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
My bad, skim reading again... sorry.

Problem with wireless is more heat buildup.

Wired or wireless you shouldn't charge with the screen on as it skews the charge cycle. The charge rate ramps down if the phone is active to protect the battery.

The wireless charger needs to comply with Samsung's wireless fast charging protocols.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Fast wireless charging needs 15W to fast charge. 10W is standard speed. It's your charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MidwestDrummer:
Actually, the first wireless charging standard charged at a rate of 5w. My Nexus 6 charged wirelessly at a rate of 5w. 10w and 15w are both considered fast wireless charging. My Note 9 and Fold 3 literally said "Fast Charging" when I would set them on my current 10w wireless charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
OK. I tried to help, but you're comparing specs of the S22 with the Nexus 6. Things change.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] MidwestDrummer:
Look, I'm really not trying to sound like a jerk, but said something that was factually inaccurate and didn't come anywhere close to solving the question I originally asked. Then you got upset when I pointed it out. Show me where the help was.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The answer is no. The wireless fast charger must comply to the protocols Samsung is using.

The easiest solution is to use a Samsung wireless charger. It's not that I love giving Samsung money but it does make troubleshooting easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
I didn't say anything factually inaccurate, nor did I get upset. Things said in the imaginary world of the internet don't upset me. I had actually already forgot about it until you replied just now and I got a notification.

If you think what I said was being "upset," then you might be a little over sensitive. Sorry if it came across that way.

Again, it's your charger. Get a 15W wireless charger and it will fast charge. You don't have to believe me. But companies change specs on phones, yearly. Just because your precious phones fast charged wirelessly at 5 or 10W doesn't mean this one does.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
As a followup, I dug out my old Samaung brand wireless charger, which came out with the Note 8 or 9. It's labeled as a "Fast Charger," but only charges at 10W. When I place my S22U on it, it just does standard wireless charging. When I place it on the newer Samsung wireless charger which charges at 15W, it says fast wireless charging.

So again, the standards have changed, and now 15W is considered fast charging. Kinda like when the old Moto Turbo Chargers were considered fast chargers, but only charged at 5W. Standards change over the years.

Your 10W charger is still charging at 10W. It just doesn't say Fast Charging anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Also, make sure these settings are all toggled on. Straight out of the box, my Super Fast Charging and Fast Wireless Charging were on, but Fast Charging was off.
