If you want to use a custom kernel and keep root You can't magisk patch the boot.img that comes with the ROM and then flash a custom kernel. Root will not be kept.

You have to grab the boot.img from the Stock Nov Google Image and Magisk patch that.

Then fastboot flash boot magisk_patch-xxx.img.

Then once you boot into the phone you can use EKM or kernel flasher to flash a custom kernel and root will be retained
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sharkie405:
That's exactly what I and others have been doing. Still a no-go.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Wh1t3Rose:
Don't know what to tell you. I've never been on this ROM before. Flashed the latest release 2 days ago, Magisk Patched November Stock Boot and a custom kernel with EKM. Still have root.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sharkie405:
Yeah, who knows. If this ROM gets updated with a December patch version, I'll give it another shot then.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ChongoDroid:
Yeah I tried booting nov and then flashing, I tried flashing November first etc.

I'm using exkm to flash maybe it's app related? I'll try Franco's flasher in his app see if theres a difference lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HiPlzHelp:
Mhmm now I'm curious to see if it is app related because I use Franco's flasher and it didn't work for me
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] phaino00:
Just a question. Of those that cannot retain root when using Pixel stock magisk patched boot image, are you flashing the Pixel stock magisk patched boot image over the Rice Droid magisk patched boot image? Or are you flashing the Pixel stock magisk patched boot image over Rice Droid boot image (not magisk patched)? Curious if there is something here?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thecdn:
I use Franco's flasher and it worked for me. Although it didn't work a couple of times and it did work a couple of times. Seems to be inconsistent and I have no idea why.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HiPlzHelp:
Alright So I just bought EXKM and followed all the steps and now I'm maintaining root so I'm guessing it has something to do with franco's flasher
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] -Happy Feet-:
Anyone knows about Updates for this ROM? Is there an ETA? Or now asking and wait for it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
idk alvin14 hasnt been online for a while, might jump to lineageos/blissroms
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Wh1t3Rose:
There's no reason to Magisk patch RiceDroids boot image first as it gets completely overriden when flashing Magisk Patched stock image.

You just Magisk patch the stock image and flash it. Then when you flash a custom kernel using EKM or similar app, the kernel scripts copy the Magisk patches over to it's boot image during install.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Wh1t3Rose:
I really want a December update bad because I want to flash the December update for Kirisakura kernel as apparently it's significantly helped battery life, especially when idle.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] phaino00:
I understand that. 👍 I was curious if those who do not retain root flashed a patched (stock) image over another patched (Rice Droid) image and this process causing an issue. But the 'overridden' may toss my hypothesis aside.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Wh1t3Rose:
Yea that's what I'm saying. It wouldn't matter because it gets completely overriden anyways as your essentially ripping out the entire boot image and replacing it with another. It's not doing any sort of patching or copying backing and forth like flashing a custom kernel that has an anykernel3 script has for maintaining root :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] -Happy Feet-:
Oh no. Not an other custom ROM again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
wdym?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] -Happy Feet-:
I flash it just few weeks ago.

Maybe I do it, if this ROM is EOL.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Wh1t3Rose:
I hope not! I just flashed this a week ago :( and I love it. Especially how the drop down toggles look.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HiPlzHelp:
can please someone tell me why my google app stopped working and i also keep getting a notification saying hey google model failed to install or something like that and this refuses to install and assistant wont launch either
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spinoza23:
This ROM is now EOL?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
Sincerely hope not !! Such a wonderful ROM. Thanks @alvin14
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rafe83:
I know this may be a stupid question but I haven't owned a pixel since the 2XL. I'm currently on build number T1B2.220916.004 stock of course. I'd like to try this rom but I'm a little confused on how to update the stock firmware before flashing. Does anyone have a link with instructions or just a tip on how to do that?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
maybe idk alvin14 hasnt been on for a while
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sronweb:
Not yet. When it will become EOL it will be announced.

I think so. Tomorrow I switch to Bliss ROM.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
not sure, he hasn't announced it being EOL
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
I'm sad about this, such a great rom, I will miss the customisation of ricedroid
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mogielnicki:
This is a common story with many developers, custom ROMs time of living counts in months. Than dev jumps to newer phone leaving his work behind.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
happened with hurt copain and all his roms
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thecdn:
Yeah, that really sucked. After trying a few I was very happy to find this, and it doesn't make us use telegram! If it is gone I don't know where I'll go next, some roms I've looked at have so few features why bother?

I know the OP hasn't said anything official, but that's just it. He hasn't said anything in so long it seems kind of inevitable now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
yo crdroid just got a december build might switch to that
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bourjois:
I ended up here after ProtonAOSP went EOL. It took me a long time to find a Raven ROM that didn't have built-in Gapps. If support for this ROM ends, then I don't know if there's any other options for deGoogling (not including Graphene; I'm not a fan). It would be a great shame as RiceAOSP is a fantastic ROM. I've grown very accustomed to the brilliant baked-in customisation and extremely smooth performance, all with the benefit of no Google bloat.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
crdoid doesn't come with gapps
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bourjois:
Oh wow that's great news. Iirc, when I checked previously, Gapps was bundled, or it wasn't available for Raven. CrDroid was the ROM that I used on my previous phone. It's good to know that there's a backup, in the event that Rice fizzles out. Thanks for the heads up 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
jumped ship to crdroid + nikgapps, only a few bugs, if there ever is another build of this rom released i will jump back
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cbomb1337:
I flashed it to on oriole using mind the gapps. Android setup work perfect i think. I wonder if there's a gapps with more stuff that works. I tried a magisk one and it gave me stuff but half of them didn't work lol. I miss rice droid I was using it on like version 5 or under with a different developer who dropped out. His version 5 was like nearly bug free only some system UI issue would pop up after a day or 2. I think from reading the new rice droid under new Dev had more issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
nope, I don't remember having any bugs on the last version of this rom, only reason I changed roms is bc I wanted QPR1
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KwstPap:
search for velocity rom. is from mvk kernel dev. it is awesome. smooth and best battery

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rafe83:
What version of magisk did everyone use to patch the boot image? I tried 22.1 and 25.2 and kept getting installation errors.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CharliexCharger:
I used the latest version of canary, but I do believe you need to patch the November stock boot image and not the rice boot image. If I remember correctly patching the rice boot image results in an error.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
I used 25.2. Are you on Dec update? Since last ROM version is based on Nov update, it might cause some issues?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rafe83:
Tried that and it still gives a process error, installation failed error.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
huh, when I was running this rom (went back to stock November before flashing), I had no issues with magisk, maybe try flashing stock November before flashing this
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
Yes, I had to do the same.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Hey Everyone. Finally free from some crazy working hours. Please forgive me as it's really busy in Nov & Dec.

I need some testers for RiceDroid 10 Beta if anyone is interested.

does ricedroid 10 have reversible navbar? would be cool
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bourjois:
If it's AOSP and fairly functional, then I'm down. Rice is the GOAT 🖤

Good to see ya haven't give up mate. Count me in to test if you'd like.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Awesome.

6 Pro only for now.

Before flashing via fastboot please ensure you are on the latest Dec sec patch

Dec Bootloader & Modem

On windows . flash-base.sh on linux . flash-base.sh

Then fastboot update -w "downloaded file". Def leave -w to wipe as i believe you may have errors without doing that.

This is a personal build brought up specifically for the pixel series based on Lineage.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rothod:
Booted just nice :) Setup went well :) All running good :) Only thing so far is when I hit Privacy under settings the Settings app stops. Also experience that Sync and Locations turn on every time after restarting device. This fault vanished for some reason did some debloating and now it is OK

BT tethring wifi/bluetooth work, BT transfer files work, BT wireless earplug work, DRM ok, Safety (yasnec) passes, NFC ok, Fingeprint ok, Face unlock not working
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
No bugs so far, I love this rom

IS THIS OFFICIAL?! IN SETTINGS IT SAYS ITS OFFICIAL
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
Kirisakura kernel works fine on this

Quick settings transparency is broken (see grid pattern)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kpirnie:
Privacy under settings the Settings app stops.

Weather service settings FC's as well.

so far, thats it :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
can u check whether quick settings transparency works?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kpirnie:
Quick settings transparency does seem to work for me, but there's a weird pattern behind it that is just barely noticable...

Ran into one more weird issue.

FIles. The Files works, however, inside any app that needs access to it, cannot see the /sdcard
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] spinoza23:
could somebody upload it to another server? mega really sucks...!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
just some questions before I switch:

how do I keep all of my apps/photos after flashing it?

will this work with the kirisakura kernel?

how should I get banking apps+gpay working?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jlokos:
No one has been able to flash a custom kernel with a custom 13 rom.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
oh ok, do you know how I can transfer all of my apps and photos?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
you should stay on stock. there's a lot of work you need to do in order to get banking apps to work (just gotta learn I guess). do you have an old Pixel you can use to learn this on? Photos should be in the DCIM folder. Apps can be backed up using Super Backup or Swift Backup with root (I forget what the kids are using these days). Just without TWRP recovery, things are different. If you want to play with a custom ROM, backup all of your files and photos to the cloud and a computer (you never know), including your text messages (SMS Backup & Restore by SyncTech or QKSMS from fdroid).

Check if you are backing up your photos to Google Photos app (just open the app and see what is being backed up).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
I do have an old Lenovo phone but tbh I don't want to try installing my banking apps on it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Have been off for a bit, will follow up later after work. For the person complaining about building a new build, rice has not made any changes since that build, what exactly should i build a new build for?, also the other roms has multiple builds except evo-x due to me not getting a chance to look at the camera bug. Not sure why some users are getting a battery drain, i am not getting any whatsoever, also someone else that tested prior to me uploading also is not getting any battery drain. Will look at the other responses later.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dangambino:
I'm for one grateful for the public builds. I think battery life is great so far actually. It's only been a day or 2 still....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] acuicultor:
Don't let anyone discourage you, you're doing a good job contributing with your time and effort to the community, just ignore trolls and keep doing what makes you happy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheLoonyRebel:
Thanks from me also for your ROM builds. The only things I would say that could be improved going by at least the ArrowOS builds is having some kind of version/dating system so each build can be identified more easily along with updating the main post with the new build.

Also from what others have mentioned flashing Radioactive or any other kernels on your ROMs isn't working. I believe that's an SELinux issue but I could be wrong maybe? Maybe someone could fill in better on this issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dangambino:
Some one stated that custom roms are only working on stock 13.0 and no custom atm can flash kernel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheLoonyRebel:
I've used Radioactive on Hurt Copain's A13 ROMs just fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dangambino:
Ok cool!! On this rom too?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stompysan:
Just a follow-up about the Facebook discoloration. Looks like this was addressed with the app, as an update fixed video playback for me. So far, been running very well. Just minor offset issues with display layout on oriole. Excellent stuff.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Antidote03:
hi , is there any instruction how to install this rom , first time using pixel devices already unlocked and rooted thx in advance
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iBe.Jacob:
ADB reboot bootloader, fastboot -w, fastboot update image.zip
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cyberg0d:
I haven't had problems, got blue spark running, the only thing I noticed is that you loose root after kernel flash.

Here's screenie of the about showing blue spark running.

┤Thread Cleaned├┤Hello everyone! I believe it would benefit us all to perform our breathing exercises now. Breathe in (pause) and breathe out (x5). I'm sure we all enjoy some conflict from time to time but on XDA we'd like to keep the focus on what really matters in life: software development. Okay, perhaps it's the 16th most important thing but let's keep the context of this platform in mind. There are plenty of other outlets to rid our minds of built up rage. May I suggest an old fashioned scream-in-a-pillow? I probably may not so feel free to choose your own outlets and refrain from flaming here. As we've gotten to know each other a bit better now, I'd like to make one personal suggestion: click here (and maybe also here, here, here, here,...) and press uninstall/disable. It may very well be the beginning of a better world and it will surely improve your device's battery life. ;)

If you wish to discuss this or anything else that makes you ponder our place in this vast universe, feel free to click here. Just keep the discussion in this thread to the aforementioned focus and we'll all have a good time. Above all: have a great Sunday! :)├

If it can help, to whom needing the social networks, as the original software of fb or instagram etc is designed to drain the battery because heavy and running continuously to get the personal data.... I would recommend some lighter replacement apps allowing access to the same network, as Friendly, Simple X or the same Facebook Lite version. With the first ones you can access to different social networks as Fb, Linkedin, Reddit etc.

This is valid for any rom.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miqcea3:
For me its sadly not fixed yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sharkie405:
Same issue w/internal storage access via Files app through other apps. Can access using another file explorer app, so not a huge deal in my experience.

Also, the face unlock page won't open. So can't set that up.

Those are the only two issues that I've noticed. Other than that, it's running like a champion.

I was even able to flash radioactive kernel via EX kernel manager and keep root without having to jump through any hoops, or having to do anything with the stock boot image. Although, I did flash the December stock image to both slots prior to flashing the latest ricedroid, so maybe that was my issue last month.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rothod:
same experience with Files (also when use of settings - storage)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
same issue with files here and the weird pattern in the background transparency
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
EXKM for me would ask to set a backup folder and then I would get a screen like this in files
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sharkie405:
Should be able to use the menu to get to other file explorer options that will allow you to select the directory.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sjgoel:
I had the same problem and did not find any solution. EXKM kept on asking for the original Google file explorer (documentsui package) which I had deleted. Even after reinstalling it, I was not successful.

it says that theyre not dead
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] alvin14:
Builds will be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on updates pushed.

Issues fixed with storage, just to verify what app are you guys using so I can verify it's truly fixed. Background blur added to fix QS transparency. Face unlock works as well now.

Weather to be worked on.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bourjois:
Would you mind sharing a source for the 'dead' claim? I haven't seen anything of the sort in the Telegram channel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sharkie405:
The storage issue is to do with the built-in "Files" app.

One way to test is to try and browse to a module to install from internal storage in Magisk, but really any app that lets you browse for files will utilize the "Files" app and won't be able to load the Internal Storage directory.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ismail.A:
Hi I was wondering if u was going to make ricedriod 10 beta available for pixel 6
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ismail.A:
This is from there official telegram channel they are not dead research before u say anything please
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Bourjois:
If you're able to do a vanilla/aosp beta build, I'd be happy to test it. If not, no worries 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] elimani:
I'm not really able to play videos on the new beta, the most I can get to work is the sound. Is there a way to fix it without reflashing the rom? Since the others haven't reported this issue it has probably nothing to do with the rom itself
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] elimani:
Nvm, reflashing bootloader and moden fixed it, weird that I had to reflash tho
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
I was using EXKM to pick files
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] w_tapper:
something also weird is that I've never seen a reference to ricedroid 10 except this thread

Hello, is it possible to switch resolution from 1440p to 1080p on the Pixel 6 Pro when using this ROM? I can't find anything that would do it although stock can do it I think.

Settings>Display>Screen Resolution
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KszKristof:
Thanks, I flashed Kirisakura because I didn't have the option in settings, but then Magisk was gone so I reflashed and now I'm at where I started...

Any idea why installing Kirisakura removed my root or where can I get logs to see what happened?

I'm running the stable (November) GApps build in the main post (with a magisk patched boot.img)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zosina:
Are you using the corresponding Kiri version? Should be 4.3.0 for November build
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KszKristof:
Yes, I tried installing 4.3.0
