Thanks dude, I have a LTE version, will you help to release Q for DEB as well? Thanks.

 

[JT1510365]

Reserved for future use

 

[JT1510365]

one more just in case

 

[sir_bazz]

Thanks very much for making time to maintain this.

May I ask which blobs are used for this build? If Im reading it correctly, it's the same ones that @followmsi has switched to rather than the previous QC ones?

I'll definitely install this and give feedback but am of the current belief that the previous blobs provided much better performance,(on deb at least), than the ones used in the other most recent build.

Hadn't mentioned it yet as was still trying to pinpoint why it feels less responsive. Not sure if it's GPU or disk IO or even CPU because the numbers all look fine but the device feels noticeably less responsive when playing something taxing like PoGo.

Edit: just saw the blobs link.

I am using followmsi's latest pixel and pie aosp sources which includes fixes for hardware decoding and compass. I don't have any slow downs when i tested the build however i wouldn't know how to even fix it if there were slow downs because i am just building using his sources. There is nothing changed or added besides those sources. You can expect a new build from me every month with new security patches because i am currently the one mantaining pixel experience

Cheers and have a good day

Is Netflix working on this rom?

yes but you have to install the older version of netflix look at other peoples posts on different rom threads because i don't care about netflix and you will find the fix there in those threads and posts

Issues

Latest build (05/02) borked all the sensors (gyroscope, compass, accelerometer). After dirty flashing it over an earlier build they all stopped working.

Had to go back to stock 6.0.1 and it's all ok now. 6.0.1 feels like a rocket by the way. I don't know about your experience with these pie roms, but for me it's been high battery drain (especially when watching youtube) and overall intermittent choppiness.

The only thing that shouldn't be working is compass and I will hopefully fix it in the next build but gyroscope and accelerometer is working for me on my flo with no problems however I can't say this for deb as I don't have that device to test. But I would do a clean flash wipe everything except internal storage and try flashing the ROM again. Also remember to not flash gapps as its already included

Actually I saw the same thing when dirty flashing to the changed blobs build from the other thread.
An additional restart was required to get them working.

Haven't had a chance to try this build, (deb), yet but it's likely the same.

You can fix deep sleep by flashing this zip I provided and I tested it and now my tablet goes into deep sleep. This zip add-on works for all pie ROMs except unlegacy because its already included. Huge thanks to @followmsi for providing the fix

Download here and flash in recovery:

[sir_bazz]

Tested deb for a few days, ( with the patch linked above), and it's pretty good.
Dirty flashed, wiped cache and dalvik, installed ElementalX kernel and then the deep sleep patch.

My early concerns regarding the changed blobs and performance were unfounded. Everything appears to work and the rom runs smoothly.

Did experience an issue with sensors no longer responding after a couple of days and although easily resolved with a reboot, I rolled back to an earlier PE build to avoid a repeat.
Looking forward to trying any further builds though. Hopefully will have time to troubleshoot, or at least a grab a useful log next time.

Ok no probs will have a look at the update script.

 

[RichieDaze]

I've given this rom a try, and I am also receiving an error 7 from twrp-3.3.0-0-flo

BLKDISCARD ioctl failed: Invalid argument
failed to execute command [erase 4,756,4689,298235,326400]
new data receiver is still available after executing all commands.
script aborted: E1001: Failed to update system image.
E1001: Failed to update system image.error: 1001
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

This device must be re-partitioned before installing this rom
Otherwise works just like it was stated on the original post.

e.

which Kernel did you use ? tried both 6 and 7 EX - soft brick

Custom setting

@JT Your Havoc ROM has custom status bar settings, etc., but it seems that this ROM doesn't. Why?

Because havoc is more customizable and feature filled compared to pixel experience. Pixel experience is meant to give you the same experience as if you were to use and buy the google pixel phones its the same ROM basically as what the pixel has. There's nothing I can do about this pixel experience is meant to be more of a stock bare minimal experience rom compared to havoc which is more feature filled and customizable.

Apologies man.
Sometimes I completely forget that not everyone here is up to date with development for our devices.

I should've made clear that kernel build is by @followmsi and found in his online file repository.
