sorry for wanting to use an external kernel, but is it better to use this kernel on the lineageos20 rom? and is it more optimized for gaming?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Strongly doubt it, there isn't a ton of extra performance to yield from custom kernels nowadays.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoaihung:
thanks for your reply. I enjoyed the existing performance of lineageos20 in use. However, with the game, is there a way to force more power?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Not in any meaningful way.

Devices nowadays are very powerful and pixels especially are battery managed well.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hoaihung:
thanks for your reply. I have more or less received answers to my questions. this rom is great, hope lineageos on pixel4xl can go longer, especially when A14 is officially launched.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
why is you builds smoother and more battery friendly than official builds , you use different kernel ??
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d2xTaimen:
There are official builds?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Nope. Just Google apps.

Of course lol have been for months.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d2xTaimen:
Oops my bad wrong forum 😅
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eddythang286:
Im now on evox 7.9.5 can i clean flash latest unofficial lineageos? Or have to gone back to lastest stock 13?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Fine to switch, format data between using lineage recovery
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d2xTaimen:
Hows your battery life on lineageos compared to evox? Thanks!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PriestPoppy:
Is the device still recognized as Pixel 4/XL or does it change model?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
I don't know why it would change Yes, reports as it isI don't know why it would change Yes, reports as it is
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PriestPoppy:
For other devices like my old xiaomi, when installing some ROMs it gets detected as Pixel 2XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
that's because other device developers hack things up
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Caith:
This rom is the best, i'm comming from PE but your "My unofficial with Google Apps/Pixel goodies included" have a better performance, in your site i didn't find any Pixel 3/ Blueline build, would you keep in mind develop something for that device, PE deprecate it at PE13 withput solve the mic/speaker issue (my wife device 😬) whatever, thanks a lot!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Sorry. I only build for device/device families that I have. I don't manage or have the blue line family.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Caith:
understood, keep doing this awesome job, thanks for your soon answer

PD: could i answer if you manage any support for Colombian carriers (Claro, Movistar, Tigo) for VoLTE/VoWifi, i never understand something about MBN files.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
sorry, unless stock does it in that respect we won't be doing it.

Regulatory/legal reasons.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] syrkles:
Does this rom support face unlock
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DoughMucker:
Yes
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] syrkles:
So if I run the official builds do I have to flash gapps everytime I update?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DoughMucker:
For major updates (like v20 to 21) only.

If you use the built in updater, you won't have to flash gapps for minor (monthly) updates. See the Guide when you click the link to get the official build.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] syrkles:
When i flashed unnofficial build now playing wasnt there…does anyone know why?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Because it's tied into Googles proprietary systemUI?

Not something I can legally port.

PE and others use it against licensing lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ZG_DEV:
Nice ROM , bro 👍👍
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] syrkles:
Oh wow i did not realize this thank you for the clarification
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rebel7022:
I just installed this wrong for the first time tonight and it's working great but the QR code scanner tile just says updating is there a way I can fix this
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Well, if you installed it the wrong way...maybe try dirty flashing the ROM again. If it still does not solve the issue, maybe you will have to do a clean flash using the correct method
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rebel7022:
I meant I just installed this ROM today but now that I'm reading my post it says *I just it installed the wrong way*. Lol no I installed this ROM correctly. I haven't flashed around in years unlock the bootloader I flashed the DBTO.img, I installed the recovery and then side loaded your unofficial build. All of the clean flash. I provided a screenshot of what my QR code scanner tile looks like.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Ooh now I get it xD

I think that I'll install this ROM again today, then I will verify if the QR Scanner tile stays in the same status as yours. I am not sure how the tile works, but is it supposed to launch an app (e.g. Google Camera)? If that's the case, check the app permissions for notifications and/or other that might be needed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Update: I clean flashed the latest Unnoficial version (from August 16th) and I don't even have this QR Code Scanner tile (I did not install any QR Code reader).

Maybe you can reinstall your qr code scanner app and see if it helps. I have not flashed DBTO file, you can follow the install instructions available in the download page: https://wiki.oddsolutions.us/devices/coral/install
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rebel7022:
Yeah I was wondering about that DBTO.img file, so you're saying that I never need to flash that again when I do a clean flash on the unofficial or official lineage rom? Because I won't if I don't need to, I wasn't sure. I remember when I was following the instructions on how to flash the Rom and I got to that part where it told me to flash that DBTO.img file that threw me for a loop I was like what is this. Is there ever a need for me to flash that image file in the future? Thanks for all your help, I used to flash ROMs all the time in 2017 and I haven't done it since so I really miss flashing roms and I'm glad I'm back, but I feel like a total noob again
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Yeah, that file should not be needed (just the recovery img and the ROM zip).

No problem, it is easy to forget some things if we keep away from the custom ROMs for a while xD. Have a great day!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DoughMucker:
The tile is not there by default. You have to edit the tiles.

With that said, I have never used the tile before, but just added it to test and it also says "Updating". QR codes still work with the Lens app or Lens feature of the camera. It's just a bit slower to get to.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rebel7022:
Thank you for your response & I'm really liking this ROM. I'm impressed
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xXclaymoreXx:
Yeah, that file should not be needed (just the recovery img and the ROM zip).

No problem, it is easy to forget some things if we keep away from the custom ROMs for a while xD. Have a great day

I tried to edit it before, it seems that I have to check my eyes xD now I found it and it says "updating" too
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lash12345:
Stuck on updating here too but I'm on Moto G 5g+ so I am thinking it is a problem in Android/LineageOs and not specific to the phone rom?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Hey all, I am moving and therefore the unofficial update server/wiki will be down for a few days. Likely Wednesday, Friday at the worst.

Don’t panic when links in the OP don’t work, and your Updater app says something like “Can’t connect to server”. It is planned outage.

Thanks, see you on the other side!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Hey y'all - Unofficial build server/download portal is back up.

It may be hit and miss tomorrow as I rewire everything, but everything /should/ be functional for now.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheBouwman:
Hey everyone,

I'm having a issue where my phone is stuck in a boot loop after I try to reboot.

I tried with and without gapps and the build from the 24th of last month but it won't go away.

Does someone knows how to solve this?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
@npjohnson as a core member for lineage , any news about android 14 update bro
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
DEAR GOD.

The number one rule is no ETA's. Yet you are the 5th person _today_ to ask.

It will be ready when and if it is ever ready.

We have literally had 0 time to work on it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
Ok whatever

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fatalazn:
hey guys,

newbie here. i assume its not possible to retain all my data if i want to install lineage OS?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
No, unfortunately you will need to wipe your device, but you can back up everything via MTP and then restore it, and just use Google cloud backup and then restore your apps and their data.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 江灵z:

Nope, same issue. I'm using lawnchair and so far it's working fine.

Edit: I just realized there's a new update. I'll try it and I'll post if I find the same bug:)

New builds coming. Just stop manually grabbing builds for now. OTA's will come when they're ready.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
Mind if i ask for Repainter OS integration? at least for the unofficial builds
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KShion619:
If what I just experienced on Flame/4-nonXL means anything

Update to the final Stock Android 13 first.

Works now on that device.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
Hi guys, well now I'm in the Nov 9th compilation and everything's looking fine, until now. Now I don't have the lockscreen glitch, the Bluetooth works perfect and the system in general feels good and responsive.

There are some few bugs I can live with (play store shows "not certified", some Pixel goodies doesn't work and security guard recognize se-linux is not enforcing) but is still better than stock ROM lol.

Disclaimer: all this is my personal opinion.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Not certified will be fixed soon, GMS + Enforcing breaks bluetooth - working on it.

What Pixel goodies don't work?

And yeah Trust will complain, is what it is until I fix the above issue.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
Hi! Thanks for the answer.

And well, I can't find "Now playing" anywhere, in addition when I try to change the wallpaper from the home screen it says every time "app not installed", so I need to open settings and change the wallpaper from "Wallpapers and styles". So far this is what I find. Oh, and a small visual glitch when I open the full notification shade and I have some apps running in the background. Is not a big problem and I don't even know if is normal in the system lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkpower_4:
Google RMA to my pixel 4 XL last month so I have a brand new pixel 4 XL with new battery so this is all awesome! But today I got my old pixel 4 XL sent back from Google surprisingly I know it's my old one I don't know if it's fixed because it came back with a pin code but it's bootloader unlocked now it might be on some kind of testing Dev os. What should I do with it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
Go to flash.android.com and connect your old pixel in ADB mode, then just follow the instructions in screen to come back to public release.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkpower_4:
I got in somehow there was no account on it and it was Android 12. The pin was 0000
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
I'm sorry, I didn't understand
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkpower_4:
you did i just figured out the pin with a couple of guesses and got lucky. the link you provided does help alot tho! i have multiple pixels this will help. it turned out the os was just saying that because it had no sim card. now im going to flash this rom to it! and see if they replaced the fried battery that was in it when i sent it off. seems to be working so far tho
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
I'm happy to know it helps, if you need more help please feel free to ask:)
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkpower_4:
so i transfered all my data to the old pixel 4 xl i just got and it was on 12 so im updating it to 13 and i wanna see what a dirty flash will do of this rom over stock. is that even a thing anymore. its been a few years since i loaded a custom rom on my phone. since...i first got my pixel 4 xl day 1. will report back with update on progress.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
don't dirty flash over stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
I Just made my own build with some of my own customizations like Repainter system integration, Wireguard in the kernel and Safetynet pass, i can provide a link here or if enough people like my builds i can post a thread and do bootimages with KernelSU
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
you would need to make your own thread.

This is specifically for officials & my builds.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
ok then thread posted hope i get same support from people as your builds do (y)
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
If I can ask, please change that name up a bit - instead of unofficial go with customized by LastDark or something.

Solid chance right now people would confuse the threads.

You even copied my thread format and content and linked lineage wiki lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
yeah im still new into posting threads so and creativity not good enough your format is good and simple ill keep making changes so it looks different

mr johnson , i was on lineageos 20 with sept sp , then i wanted to roll back to stock , tried flashing the factory image adn after that the phone doesnt boot , just stuck on google logo for hours
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
have u tried doing full wipe before flashing?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
you need to format data, and flash the full factory image.

It will boot.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
unfortunately i tried everything including flashing different factory images , changing drivers and platform tools , flashing more than 6 custom roms but still stuck in the same problem infinite logo animation **** without booting into the system , the surprize is every other modes are fine and the phone accept regular fastboot and adb commands and every flashing goes fine without problem but at last it stucks at the logo animation ,and yes i perform wiping command before every flashing but still the same , searched for any edl guide for pixels but in vain , looks like google didnt even push edl packages for its phone ,
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
you said u wanted stock, so how about try flashing with the web browser flashtool with full wipe checked
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
tried this too unfortunately , really this problem is rare but not excluded for a 4 years old phone with wrecked hardware , i had a headache from setting on the pc tryin to fix it , i have too choices with no third one , throwing it in rubbish or replace the mainboard as i like the phone for real
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fly_hunter:
@npjohnson you are the wizard here big bro , any suggestions before taking hard actions
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
if flash.android.com doesn't work you have hardware issues.

have anyone have an issue with Google Wallet not wokring ? No root / It all warked before? notheing changed in system but it says device doesn't meet security requirements or have root. How to fix it ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zero489:
I have the same problem
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rean7mator:
any idea how to fix ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Should be fixed in next build I think.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
this is because Google updated their Play Integrity verification, in order to bypass that, some changes in the device specifications must be done in the AttestationHooks.java in frameworks/base before compiling, so yeah should be fixed in next build as now devs have to use Asus Zenfone 4 Max's parameters, also ro.build.type must be user and ro.debuggable must be 0 instead of 1, for now use PlayIntegrityFix module if your device is rooted until update arrives
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
all of these are already done except zenfone 4, which will be in the next build.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rean7mator:
I've updated the last build. But gpay isn't fixed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LastDarkWarlord:
well i think between yesterday and today Google updated Play integrity again so you now must wait for a build that has Nexus 5 X's parameters which are already in the Gerrit: https://review.lineageos.org/c/Line...roid/internal/gmscompat/AttestationHooks.java

so wait for another build
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
What LastDarkWarlord said is correct. It will be in the December builds.

And tbh, I am going to stop advertising passing SN, as I don't feel like continuing the cat and mouse game. It's a game with a set ending, and we're near it.

Hi I'm getting an issue with the phone application. The phone app keeps crashing when I'm receiving phone calls. Not getting any phone call notification only phone vibrate. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nobadmojo:
OEM Unlocking greyed out. My first post here so please forgive anything I may be doing wrong. Tried a search but it didnt reveal stuff here or I am searching wrong.

I have a Pixel4xl that I am trying to Lineage-ize and am stuck with being unable to allow OEM unlocking so cant engage the bootloader. This is leading me to a couple other questions which I will put at the end of this

A search revealed on YouTube that for a later Pixel model, you have to do a factory reset after deleting all the google accounts presently in your phone and then I will be able to proceed with installing Lineage by unlocking the bootloader. Does this work for the Pixel 4xl or is there a better way? I am on the Mint network and am the original owner of this device.

This leads me to asking if there will likely be other roadblocks? and once I get it installed are folks having issues? and lastly, how long do you folks think Lineage will provide updates for this device?

Seems like facelock will work and I can install good software, and etc. any help appreciated. I;m sure this stuff has been addressed before so sorry about the reppeats. Thanks
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
Lineage works fine.

The issue here is I don't think your device is unlockable.

When it is greyed out it usually means it is one of the devices pinned fro Verizon or similar networks. Best buy only sells that version for ex. And it isn't unlockable
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nobadmojo:
Thanks...I;m on Mint Mobile. I dont think this phone is pinned to them and I bought it unlocked from elsewhere...Mint gets new customers using their existing phones all the time.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nobadmojo:
Updating FWIW

I am very frustrated with this after doing a factory reset that was recommended by Google I still can not engage OEM Unlocking

Prior to that I ran the T-Mobile tool to unlock because I used to be on T-Mobile and it confirms my phone is unlocked. Ditto for Mint which I have been on for a long time now. I bought this phone as a new/open box from a very reputable eBay seller

The term OEM does not mean 'Carrier' anyway. The message says to check that my phone is connected to the internet It is. or..contact the manufacturer

Further searching reveals that some phones are just not OEM unlockable..hard to imagine this would be true, but do not know what else it could be. The internet is rife with people saying they can not enable OEM Unlocking

anyone? This phone is great and I would like to use it. It hasnt had any security patches for quite a while now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
didn't mean it was meant to them.

Most Pixel's out there _are_ the ones pinned for VZW, most mvnos sell that version.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] npjohnson:
like I said, yeah, your phone just isn't unlockable - sorry :/

Only Google Store pixels are unloackable.
