Updated to this last night from a completely clean wipe of Lineage 19. Overall I'm loving it, but I'm having an issue with replying to messages from the notification bar. I have enhanced notifications turned on, but its only showing the Mute option and not "mark as read" or the "reply" option.

Nevermind, Disabling enhanced, then rebooting with it off, then re-enabling on boot, and rebooting once more seemed to correct whatever was going on and its working now

Did you bring Dynamic Refresh Rate for it? It works great but cause some flicker on dark mode. Please disable it when the brightness is low.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] noahhhh:
Especially when I try to type some words, the refresh rate jump form 90hz to 60hz again and again. I suppose there may be some bugs.

And I hope you can bring exfat support to it.

No because this is for kernel 5.10.

The licensing isn't retroactive to 4.14.

For anybody wanting to know how flashing this over your stock Android to skip deleting all your data. The duplicate system apps are going to crash and cause miscellaneous glitches. I had problem since then. So most likely it's was caused by having two system apps doing the same thing. A Google version and one for lineage OS. Just delete the Google versions. It's risky so if you have access to a computer to backup your data. Just follow the instructions as OP says. And restore it that way.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Dear god - I cannot recommend enough to _not_ do this.

So much data is going to be incompatible and break things.

Soooo many settings just aren't going to work lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Just curious, is face unlock using all the phone's hardware? I found it to be a little strange while doing the initial setup, it has a round space for the head and does not have the grid confirming if it captured a side or not (instead it says how many steps are left until we can stop moving our head).

I'm using the latest unnoficial build provided.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
It works the exact same way stock does.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Soccerdad91016:
Thanks and much appreciated. Could you provide more details on the difference between your unofficial version and the official version?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Google apps and pixel features - that's it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Soccerdad91016:
Do you happen to know what Google Apps package is included? Pico, Nano, or other? https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison

Also, not absolutely sure what is meant by "Pixel Features"?

Sorry for the basic questions.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
I don't use OpenGApps - I used personal package - it is every app that is shipped on OEM devices, so "stock" I guess.

And you can check out the pixel stuff for yourself here: gitlab.com/oddsolutions

Is it possible to implement the stock face id from Google Pixel?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
It already is. It uses the same backend, just a different enrolment screen - still the same enrollment process.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] YulNicolai:
Thank you! It would be nice if it looked like pixel.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yeah, that's proprietary and we won't be pulling it. Sorry.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] YulNicolai:
Please tell me how can I do this. I collected my rom, but I still don’t understand how to implement a stock face id.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Dude, No. I just said it's proprietary and we won't be including it. It isn't open source or trivial to implement the UI - the backend is exactly the same - no quility or functional difference.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hetisluff:
will face id work? I changed the module on the phone, and it does not work on the original firmware. although the front camera is working..
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
not if it doesn't work on stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
WHAT? This is LOS, the barest, code driven only, OS, your post is pointless, and makes NO SENSE! If you want Pixel firmware, use stock!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] V0latyle:
I agree with this sentiment - don't try to carry user data over between builds. Always perform a data wipe when transitioning from stock to custom or vice versa.

Not quite. The absolute bare bones vanilla AOSP builds are here. These are, literally, Android Source builds, and do not even include GMS.

There are also the GSI Releases which can be had with or without GMS, the only addition to them. These are built from the same source as Pixel firmware releases.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
True, but this forum is for LOS ROM (installable), as a moderator, you'd think you would have gotten it before you replied! This is NOT a GSI image (installable / bootable) --> which has its own forum thread, not here!

This forum thread is for the ROM, this OS/zip, but not for GSIs, or about GSI's, so its not the same at all. Your comments and your post is for GSI, yet the forum you replied to is for LOS OS, not GSI, and not the image. Sure, there ARE plenty of LOS GSI images available, but it isnt here (or this ROM). This is for LOS, ROM, installable, not a GSI so please be careful as newbs tend to read the latest posts and assume its right. Your post and last comment is wrong, you are referring to GSIs, not LOS ROM. LOS ROM, is the barest, stripped down OS from code there is (and if you can prove me wrong, I will EAT MY TSHIRT), so prove me wrong and I will!!!

This is a ROM forum, not a GSI, so I tend to protect users by making it blunt and this or that, wont work. Please respect the newbs out there, that dont get it, or know. To also add GSI vanilla builds on top of LOS can affect a NEWB who doesnt know better so I tend to be vague on purpose.

Being a 'MOD', you should have known better! You shouldn't have replied at all, let alone, WRONGLY about a GSI! I took a screenshot so the 'mods' cant rewrite this and change it into whatever! This is what I wrote and forever will be in the picture!

View attachment 5831179
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] V0latyle:
The Pixel 4 is capable of GSIs, and the major difference between this and a GSI is the fact that this comes with a kernel - which, as it happens, is the 4.14 kernel. The release builds for Pixels are now running 5.15 if I'm not mistaken.

Again...this is incorrect, unless you're insinuating that LineageOS strips code away from AOSP, which is literally the pure Android Source. You can't get any closer than that. Anything downstream from AOSP is not pure. Granted, this is pretty off topic...

Being vague doesn't help anyone, and being aggressive certainly doesn't either. Remember that respect and civility goes a long way - it is one thing to disagree with someone and present counterarguments; it's another to be blunt to the point of being rude. It isn't your responsibility, or mine, or anyone's here on XDA, to ensure that someone without experience doesn't brick their device. Everything offered herein is with implied risk, meaning that anyone who follows any of the recommendations on this forum does so at their own risk, and they alone bear the responsibility if something goes wrong. If it makes you feel better, you can make a point of offering that disclaimer, simply because not everyone may understand the risk involved, but it's common sense - if someone doesn't know what they're doing, they shouldn't try until they do.

Lastly, I'd like to point out that there is absolutely no reason to take anything personally that isn't specifically directed at you. The difference between "right" and "wrong" in the world of consumer electronics and software is often extremely vague, and none of us are out here winning any points for being accurate. Be polite, be professional, and try to help everyone to the best of their ability. Relax and have fun. :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I didnt take anything personally, I could care less who reads my posts or what the user thinks of me, I ONLY CARE who I help (and what data loss I saved). You didnt help, that was my problem, instead, you added in something that confuses a NEWB (new user)! You confused LOS forum with adding in something thats not part of LOS but a GSI (anything can GSI).

GSI isnt a standalone operating system to install as a standalone ROM but as an 'image' to boot/install from, so not the same thing at all! PLEASE be careful, as a mod, in your future who/what you reply to, and ONLY add in useful and HELPFUL info!!

PLEASE reread what I said, you are way off base! BUT in the end, IDC what you or anyone thinks or feels about my posts. I help so many users, that in the end, I dont care anymore. Users who want my help, ask me, others, ignore and have issues. REMEMBER, you told me I was wrong with my comments about LOS. I am ONLY rectifying those comments so take or leave it, IDC!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] V0latyle:
Not quite...not all devices can run GSIs, generally only those that are Project Treble compliant

A Generic System Image is just that. It doesn't include a kernel or anything else and is designed to be used with a separate kernel. A ROM on the other hand generally means the "whole package" that includes a kernel. A system image cannot be "booted" as you describe; you can only do this with a boot image, which contains the kernel.

But, this is all outside the scope of this thread.

I try my best to ensure the information I share is accurate, but I'm only human. As far as I'm aware, I haven't stated anything that's untrue or incorrect in this discussion, and I can provide a source for everything I say.

All I'm asking you to do is consider the tone of your messages and how they may be received by others. I'm just here to help people, as I'm sure you are as well. Try to avoid questioning someone's credibility, or telling them what they should or shouldn't share, but rather provide your insight as to why or why not something is relevant.

I don't want to derail this thread any further, so if you wish to continue this discussion, PM me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ojessie:
Hi guys, before starting from scratch e.g. flashing unofficial I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm currently on official and "voice typing" is not working. The error message is "network not connected". But Google assistance (hey google) is working. Questions:

- is this a known problem?

- is it working on unofficial rom?

I know, I read all the comments particular from the dev not to do it but as it is the same "source" is it safe to

- dirty flash the unofficial over the official rom?

Thanks, ojessie
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkpower_4:
Depends on what you meant by official. It's lineage os Passes all checks and gpay works has pixel features minus the sonar chip. You're not going to get much support from NPjohnson on dirty flashes tho. (He maintains lineage on a lot of different device!) Clean install saves you a lot of headache. Wish somebody would make a script that would just scrub the old Google code but I just went in and deleted a whole bunch of duplicate system apps from the old os. I did it haphazardly tho. I think I got lucky because everything works still. (I sent you a pm if you want more help.) If you were talking about stock pixel OS. If not then disregard the last part. Ps. I don't have that problem on mine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] noahhhh:
If I already installed the unofficial version, could I use the internal OTA updater to get the latest official version.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
no, but you'll keep getting unofficial updates.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
lol uh huh
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] b8842dc0:
Hi, I'm considering pickup a Pixel 4 XL. Does the face unlock require gapps to be installed? I'm hoping it will work with Lineage if I leave gapps uninstalled. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
it will still work.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] oliyase:

weird that it is blocked. Can't really help you sadly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] oliyase:
Also, is Motion Sense implemented there? Or it is proprietary as well?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
proprietary
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I love this ROM, I was on others for a while but recently had safetynet issues on cRdroid and pixelexperience so I rebuilt today using LOS and back in shape. SN passes again and play store is certified so I'm happy again plus this is stable as a table and FAST!

I use option 1 and 2 in MagiskHide Props to set Pixel 4 XL / 12 as my fingerprint and force basic attestation (for those who will ask):

Hi, can't get face unlock to work, it always fails.View attachment 5846331
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droid_Nut:
So after a conversation with the Dev, I took my phone back to bone stock with the factory flash, and I get the same error on face lock as above. Damn, I wish I would have tested this before I installed LOS 20. Hopefully the seller on Swappa lives up to their terms.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
What problem are you having, face unlock is solid here, all things work with the latest LOS. I re-read your issues, and I also had hiccups at first. I hit, skip, then go back and redo the face, but I had to move it forward/backwards up and down a few times, then it registered the face. I am on the latest LOS official build. If that doesn't work, and it also fails on stock, then sounds like hardware. I am not sure how or why it could be hardware because I can clearly see the image in the cam shot. This sounds like the same hiccup I always face, and moving the phone up and down, closer and further away with angling it until my face is recognized always works.

I would retry it again but this time, moving it up and down, closer/further, and angling it until it registers the face points. That's how I usually do it, and with LOS (this ROM but official version), it works flawlessly! As seen in my pics below, I am on the latest, with face unlock added, and I use it all day long, so it works perfectly once setup:

I do not use custom kernel, and I only use LSPosed/SafetyNetFix/MagiskPropsConfig as MAGISK modules + enforce deny list enforced (within MAGISK), then I add all apps but what needs ROOT (to the denied list), so nothing crazy here:

his phone has a hardware issue like he mentioned above he flashed back to stock and still the same.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I read that, but what I don't understand is how its picking up the photo in the face setup attempt. This to me, means its working, and I almost bet/guarantee if the user retries it, with moving it forwards/backwards/up/down until it picks up his face, betcha it works. Mine ALWAYS hiccups on this step, I ALWAYS have to do it more than once, even on stock, or it errors with the same issue. BUT once you skip, then go right back and retry it again, with moving the phone until its detected, it should work because it's picking up his face in the picture. If the camera is taking pics, it should work is my point. That error isn't a showstopper or a hardware failure because it's working (we can see the photo taken). WE can clearly see its working so the user should try again and take their time with moving the phone. It will probably work, and no need to swappa it back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gilnfld:
The Pixel 4/XL units, as far as I can recall, relied on several front-top sensors (IR I believe ) besides just the front camera for enrolling face-unlock. The front-camera functioning properly is ofcourse a necessary condition for face enrollment but not a sufficient one, so if for some reason his IR sensors are not operating properly the process will not complete. Something to do with said sensors providing 3D modelling of facial features alongside the image grabbed by the camera -- not sure of the tech specifics but I remember this being one of things google touted about its 'special' approach towards face unlock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pixelodin:
that is weird
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Good info, I was only aware of the SOLI chip responsible with the camera for facial recognition along with the recognition sensors, but they seem to be working in the pic. Maybe not though, and maybe it is hardware, but before I gave up, I would STILL, 110% DEFINITELY retry it one more time. This time moving it up and down, forwards and backwards, tilting the phone all along until it recognizes the face points. This error/failure literally happens to me, EVERY build, with EVERY ROM I try or use, including official Google firmware so this isn't new to me. I get the failure to add a face every time, but I always get through it with trying again, sometimes, 4 or 5 times, but it always works, and I always have that same failure message at first attempt (through setup initially).

My phone has certain apps that I have to clear cache everytime I reopen them for them to work. And I can't log into McDonald's app using Google. Only email. And my safetynet if failing to pass.

Been using lineage on pixel 4xl since the first nightly build and every update since i have had problems..

Major one at the moment is no carrier service, it shows correct sim information but says no conection and couldnt find any networks. when trying to make a call says turn off airplane mode to make a call ( its not on)

Also how do we turn on the screen shot feature its so annoying i got that many screen shots from grabbing phone

EDIT: have reflashed the old nightly build "lineage-20.0-20230205-nightly-coral-signed.zip" same problem thinking might be a hardware problem at this rate dunno what though
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droid_Nut:
Replacement phone fixed it. Even the Dev and OP of this thread knows its a hardware issue. Even his own Pixel 4 XL has the same problem, with the titan chip.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Yeah, I'll confirm it to close this convo - it's a titan issue - my unit has it too - give it's because my units EVT, but I've seen one other case where someone's titan firmware got bungled (aftermarket part replacements mostly) that shows a photo briefly then fails as it can't communicate with the enrollment service.

No way to fix it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Wow that sucks, good to know though, for the record, I wasn't arguing it but trying to understand how it was failing. Knowing the Titan chip was bad, was all I needed to hear. That's the first I've heard of the Titan chip failure, or I missed it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Just wanted to give a huge "Thanks" to the whole community, especially to the devs of this fine piece of software.

Few mins ago upgraded my wife's 4XL from 19.1 to 20.0. Super smooth and quick experience (much faster than a stock update!), no troubles at all (one single crash of "Settings" app after first reboot, but according to my long experience with LineageOS this seems to be "normal", after another reboot not a single crash anymore).

Everything is working, no rough edges whatsoever.

Kudos!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Forgot to ask one thing:

Does it make sense to flash the device to stock ROM version "13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002.B2, Feb 2023)" if it was on the latest "regular" version of "13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002, Oct 2022)" when LineageOS 19.1 was installed?

I would really like to avoid that, because it would mean factory-resetting the device with all the pain that comes with it...

As I just mentioned, phone is running perfectly w/ LineageOS 20.0 latest build (2 days old) now, not sure whether there are any "modem" changes (or other meaningful firmware blobs that will "stick" even when flashing to LOS) between OCT and FEB manufacturer firmware?

EDIT: I just noticed that I downloaded the below files from the official download location, but I was never instructed to use them:

(boot|dtbo|super_empty|vbmeta).img

When/why would I use them? Is it to revert to "stock"? Or is this exactly what I'm asking about in the beginning of this message? A possibility to upgrade the parts of Google's firmware that are also being used under LOS without reflashing back to stock?

I think I know how I would flash them, but I'd rather wait for instructions...
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Droid_Nut:
I flashed my pixel 4 from Los 19 to 20, with no data loss. All I had to do is patch a new boot.IMG with Magisk. I did the upgrade through the Los recovery.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ralfbergs:
Thanks, but that does not really answer my questions.
