Sorry for a dumb question: I installed the image in December and didn't care about security updates so far. I don't find any updates at [Settings]->[System]->[Updater]. Do I really have to install a full image (monthly), install all apps and do all settings? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
Does anybody know?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
yes. update via updater... reboot to recovery flash gapps..reboot recovery... flash magisk... reboot system. profit... i tried updating via updater wiithout flashing gapps and once i rebooted i had crashes everywhere..... id honestly say its better to update via adb sideload >> reboot and flash gapps >> flash magisk >> . this has worked for me as well as i said before... good luck,,,
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Commander.Keen:
Thanks. I'll try updating via adb. Updater doesn't find any updates since November. Thank you!

Maybe because official realeses via OTA available since January 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

Nover builds were unofficial
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] waffle_bottom:
Hey guys and gals,

New to the pixel series phones and I have been running an unofficial build of lineageOS for several months. I have been running the March security update but have not updated any firmware. I noticed the panther builds are up now with March security but does not appear to contain any firmware. Assuming cheetah will not for tonight's builds either. How does one in this situation update the firmware or what options can be taken to do so?

I have background and developed for a few years on here many years back with samsung devices. I made a huge leap from an s4/s5 to the pixel 7 pro so many things are quite different to me. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to share some information. I am very happy with my builds and would prefer not starting over (wipe for factory) but if I have to, so be it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] halfbytecode:
03/25 build for Pixel 7 Pro seems to be available now. Includes some stuff from QPR2 update. Not sure if it contains everything, as indicated in the post above. @waffle_bottom

Edit: I clean flashed it over the March factory build, and it worked well. Both Vendor security patch level and Android security update are at March 05, 2023.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] philosoraptor7:
if you're upgrading from older lineage builds, be sure to flash the updated march radio image (you can find it in factory build downloads).

this solved some 5g issues i had for my carrier.

lineage zip doesn't include it, of course.

the rest should be fine i guess, security patches and vendor files were updated by lineage maintainers.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] waffle_bottom:
The bootloader has also been updated!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] theincognito:
As a rule of thumb, look at the changes included in the current build and if it has android_xx_xxx tag merged (AKA security patch), update the bootloader and radio for that month from pixel factory image. That's what I do.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Can someone post bootloader and radio for March please?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rum0s:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z00man:
No..not working on march update.. didn't knew that myself so had to clean flash feb build back to get it working again :/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TanakaX5:
mine works fine, no problems at all, updatetd via recovery, flashed gaps and magisk afterwards,
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] z00man:
So if you open several apps and slide up to open app switcher, you have all opened apps there or no apps at all?

hey,

in germany there is still no march factory image on googles images site, does any of you guys know if i can use the global march build or should i wait till it has arrived on the german site? i mean global means global right?

anyway, i'm using LOS now with not updated radio and bootloader, so far no problems
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TanakaX5:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] waffle_bottom:
Thanks! So is it typically just the bootloader and modem that will ever need updated? I recall several partitions on my old samsung devices needing updated to complete the chain. Still getting use to this phone with the a/b setup and so many more partitions.

On a side note... The recents menu that was mentioned is working perfectly fine on my end (stock launcher). I can open every app and they will reside in recents. I do not load gapps or anything so perhaps something isn't playing nice with that package!? Just a thought...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TanakaX5:
That was in regard to the lawnchair magisk module, stock launcher is working fine
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] spoeckes:
hello everyone, i installed the march update and now want to install linageos. do i have to make sure, as with my op8pro, that the march update is installed in both slots? this is not explained in the manual. with the op8pro i was able to do the update the second time as a file in the menu, how would i do that with the pixel?

Guys , anyone uses custom kernel on latest lineage build?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
I'm running radio active
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Need to disable verity/ verification on Lineage , to flash a custom kernel?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
You should have done that from the start. Anytime I flash a full firmware from Google themselves I disable verity / verification from online flashing tool. Once you do this, you won't have to do it again. I was running November build at one point before lineage became official and only updated via lineage zip files, and flashed custom kernel after. You can update bootloader and radio from files provided here by our great members or download full factory img and update from that. Lineage OS downloads bake in monthly updates in the builds. We didn't get monthly security update until March 25 but all is well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
Thanks

I was asking if i need to disable.verity/ verification after installing Lineage..

Im always running with verity/verification disbaled to be able to flash a custom kernel ( im currently on crdroid ROM)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Then you answered your own question.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] theincognito:
Sorry for the delay, was traveling.

Well, those are the only 2 partitions we can manually upgrade on our Pixel devices, while on a custom ROM. Everything else has to be baked in the custom ROM itself, AFAIK.

But you are right. I am not personally familiar with Samsung phones on custom ROM, but Xiaomi phones also have a bunch of partitions that we can upgrade (a firmware zip, as they call it) even on a custom ROM. There is even a dedicated website available for that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gap30:
What are the commands to use, is the following correct?

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash boot bootloader.img

Also do the commands have to be flashed to both slots?

TIA
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dmbardal:
Look at the main post.

It says there exactly how you do it :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] theincognito:
These are the commands, yes. Use bootloader for bootloader partition. And, AFAIK, bootloader and radio are partition independent, so just flash like above.

Anyway, even in Google's factory zip, these 2 partitions are only flashed to the current partition.

PS: Just to be safe, make sure that you flash these after installing LOS, and rebotting to recovery, so that the active partition is changed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
fastboot flash bootloader "name of bootloader.img"

Is there any chance that official LineageOS 20 for Pixel 7/7 Pro will get native support for installing 32-bit apps?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Good morning from California,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to update ROM

From updater correctly... While maintaining root... I did it once and everything seemed fine upon boot up, had root and all but once I rebooted everything went to hell... Phone bootlooped and I had to flash factory firmware.

I installed magisk to inactive slot

I updated via updater,

Rebooted and booted up fine with root and all

Rebooted once more and bootlooped

What did I do wrong? Any advice?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 57op:
hello, you should install magisk to inactive slot after the updater has done installing the update; i.e. it promps you to reboot, but just wait. install magisk to inactive slot and then reboot from updater notification.

i keep doing this monthly, everything works fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
I find the updating via the built-in updater is slow as molasses. I usually just switch slots via fastboot then manually update via ADB sideload. So much quicker 👍.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Thank you. It worked flawlessly
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 57op:
it's on purpose.

by being slow, the process won't drain battery fast and most importantly won't produce so much heath, keeping the battery fresh and healthy (in the long term).

there's an option to prioritize the update process, i never tried it though so i don't know how much faster it will be.

but i agree with you, if i were to go for speed i would surely update via recovery.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Is there the minimal Pico gapps available for the latest release? Unless I'm mistaken the link in the op has older ones?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
OP has

: MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20230408_162909.zip
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Thanks for this.

Is this the smallest gapps available for this release? I really like the bare minimum versions, if possible! Smallest I see is 216mb. Maybe I could debloat the zip before flashing?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Just to check aswell requirements for a custom kernel, is this right:

- flash latest May build via Android Flash Tool with verity etc disabled

- proceed with LineageOS instructions

Or do I need to disable the flags again when LineageOS is installed?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
Where did you get the information for flashing a custom kernel on this ROM from, it is not in the OP of this thread!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Ah just a presumption! I believe that the flags get reset upon flashing firmware and so if I'm not mistaken, I need to come from stock, flash lineage, not reboot and then manually disable. Do you know if that's correct?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:

Just got the phone (panther), updated it to the latest May OTA update and flashed LOS 19 May release following this LOS instruction.

There are super_empty.img and vbmeta.img images to download but not a word about them in instruction. What's the purpose of them?

I want Magisk and root. Should I just rename latest Magisk to .zip and install through LOS recovery or do I need to extract init_boot.img from LOS payload.bin, patch it with Magisk and flash the patched boot image instead?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allanbro:
So to get this clear, my current understanding is that vbmeta is akin to SecureBoot on PC — it uses hashes for each stage of the boot process to ensure that the final operating environment hasn't been tampered with at any stage of the startup process. Now since vbmeta actually contains the hashes/keys for the boot, system, and vendor partitions, that does mean that every ROM build will need a unique vbmeta.img if we wanted AVB to verify successfully, right? Also, I still don't understand how a vbmeta.img can disable AVB... does it simply set the hashes to zeros? And if we wanted to disable AVB, then where would THAT vbmeta.img come from? I presume we would need an image that is specific for our device, or would a generic vbmeta.img work across multiple devices (maybe with the limitation of being for A-only or A/B devices)?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] don_dolarson:
I can't answer on this since I'm a linux novice, still. Slowly switch everything from Windows to Linux and FOSS as much as possible and learning there between. Just seen these files were on download page but no mention about them so I'm a bit curious what's they for and if I missed something, even if LOS works on my device. Read whole this thread but nobody wondered about it.

I've recently switched to a Pixel 7 and am now missing the notification LED that I've grown accustomed to over the last decade.

Would it be possible to use the light below the front display fingerprint sensor for notifications?

Thx for LineageOS!)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chrisz5z:
you could try using the "Notification light for Pixel" app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.aodnotificationledlight

uses aod to act like a led
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] frief:
thank you for the link! I do not have Google Apps installed therefore the installation from the app store is somewhat clumsy (and would not work for the paid features) - so I was hoping for something integrated into LineageOS itself. And to my (naive) understanding usage of the fingerprint LED could be more energy saving than falling back to Always On Display.

I'm thinking about getting a P7P, but does the LineageOS install do anything to help with fast charging or is that a hardware limitation? My P6P only would ever seem to charge at 15W or less and only on certain PD chargers, no other fast charging so it was a major pain for me, and from what I've read the P7P isn't really much better than the last gen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Could someone explain where I've gone wrong here....

Was running latest Lineage build, rooted with Kiri. This morning I used the built-in OTA to update to today's latest release, then used Magisk to maintain root and flash to inactive slot and also flashed Kiri with FKM all before reboot. However it did not like that and then failed to boot.

No amount of dirty flashing could help and so having to clean flash starting from the beginning.

For future reference, how can I update a LineageOS build, maintaining root and Kiri kernel?

UPDATE: I've been told to allow a first boot before flashing the kernel. I'll try that next time!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pixel86:
The way I update weekly LineageOS updates:

Boot to bootloader, switch boot slots, boot to recovery, sideload new update, reboot recovery, sideload gapps, reboot recovery, sideload Magisk, reboot device, then reflash custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cd993:
Thank you, very helpful!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TanakaX5:
Nope, not a single random reboot or shutdown here, do you have a custom kernel installed? Or maybe a incompatible magisk module.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
I'd honestly say, the best way to come from stock to LOS is yo use the Google web flasher and check the corresponding boxes.. once go LOS stock goes ghost.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bird333:
How do you revert back to stock? Do you just flash the stock firmware and it replaces everything?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Homeboy76:
I read somewhere that the first time you disable verity and verification it wipes your phone.

I'm a new pixel 7 pro user (using poco f3 till now) and my question is - do you know why the battery charging control has ony two options Automatic/Custom schedule and no option to set Limit charging where you can choose the persent at which the charging will stop?

Poco F3 has that option and that's why I'm asking.

Every time I try to back up my data to Google Cloud, be it from the settings or from the Google One app, I keep getting the message "Couldn't back up data - Try again later".

I suspect it may have something to do with Seedvault Backup interfering with Google backup. The problem is that Seedvault doesn't work, either. I tried backing up to internal storage or via Nextcloud and DAVx5, each and every time I get the message "Backup failed".
