PixelDust ROM is an Android 10 ROM especially built for Google Pixel and Nexus devices.

The code is based off directly from AOSP. We strive to keep the PixelDust Experience as close as possible to Android as Google intended. We add a decent selection of the coolest custom ROM features that would've been missed if they hadn't been included.
The PixelDust Crew would highly appreciate if you would take a little of your time and leave your valuable feedback, your honest opinion or just say hello. If you should encounter a bug, or some kind of glitch that seems to be abnormal and you are pretty sure that it is related to the ROM (and not related to any special apps or mods you flashed on top), then please give as many details as possible.

Special shoutouts to Roger.T for his amazingly designed wallpapers, logos and the best bootanimation I ever had on my Pixel!!! If you like our work, please consider to buy Roger the first beer, and a few more for the other team members and myself. Cheers!


BTW, please consider to take a logcat, because you know that:

Pre-requisites:
* You are familiar with helping yourself out of awkward situations.. You won't defame or complain at the developer of this ROM for your misfortunes.
* You are familiar with using fastboot (check this needful guide on how to unbrick your pixel device)
* Before you are ready to flash this custom ROM, you have to install the latest factory image in order to have the correct bootloader, radio, vendor and so on in place.
* Bootloader unlocked
* You have created a backup of your ROM & data
* TWRP 3.2.3-1 is permanently installed or booted via fastboot (explained here);


First time installing Pixel Dust ROM, or coming from another ROM:

As mentioned above, you are required to flash stock ROM 10.0 before installing this custom ROM.

New users should first flash the stock ROM:
  1. Follow these instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images#sailfish

Clean flash PixelDust ROM:
  1. Reboot to bootloader
  2. Boot into TWRP recovery via fastboot (This is required becaused TWRP is not yet updated for Android 10)
    Code:
    fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-sailfish.img
  3. Advanced Wipe (system, dalvik, data)
  4. Flash ROM
  5. Flash twrp-pixel-installer.zip (it is required in order to flash Magisk later)
  6. Reboot System (Ignore the message: No OS installed)
    Do not flash a vendor.img (Pixel Dust ROM has a custom vendor image included)
    Do not flash any third party GApps (Pixel Dust ROM has Google Apps included)
  7. At the initial boot you need a little patience before you can enjoy the Pixel Dust Goodness!

Experienced users may dirty flash PixelDust ROM:
  1. Use fastboot to boot into TWRP recovery
  2. Advanced Wipe (system, dalvik)
  3. Flash ROM
  4. Flash twrp-pixel-installer.zip
  5. Reboot System and enjoy the Pixel Dust Goodness!

Needa root? Then flash Magisk:
You cannot flash Magisk during the initial install. You must boot into PixelDust ROM at least once!
  1. Reboot to Recovery
  2. Flash Magisk-xxx.zip
  3. Reboot to System


Apply OTA updates:


OTA update process:
  1. Before downloading the OTA update: Make sure TWRP is permanently installed via zip (to both slots)
  2. Download and install the update from "System > System update" screen in Settings
  3. After a bit, it will get stuck at "Finalizing package installation"
  4. Reboot into TWRP, change active slot to inactive and reboot system
  5. Now the system will boot up and finish installing the update




Thanks to all development teams, e.g. ABC ROM, AICP, AOKP, AOSPA, AOSP Extended, BenzoROM, Bootleggers, CarbonROM, crDroid, DirtyUnicorns, Havoc OS, LOS, MSM-Xtended Project, OmniROM, Potatoes Project and PureNexus, we borrowed a few features and tweaks from.

FAQ



1. How to logcat like a pro
In order to quickly generate a logcat from your device, you require the Android Debug Bridge command-line tool (ADB) which can be downloaded as standalone Platform-Tools package: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html

Once you have established a USB-connection to your device, first check whether you are authorized to use ADB.

Within your command prompt/terminal window the output of this command might look like this:
Code:
~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
HT69V0203274	no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]
In case that you will see an error similar to this one (no permissions), then you need to do the following steps.

1) First step is to stop the server:
Code:
~$ adb kill-server
2) Next step is to start the server with root privileges:
Code:
~$ sudo adb start-server
3) The output of this command will be like this:
Code:
~$ sudo adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
4) Now the output of the command we used in the first place should be something like this:
Code:
~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT69V0203274	   device
5) At last, let's take a logcat.
The output of the command will print a logcat of your device. In order to stop the output press Ctrl + C:
Code:
~$ adb logcat
--------- beginning of system
07-18 12:51:41.517   436   444 I QISL    : QSEE Interrupt Service Listener Thread is started
07-18 12:51:41.517   436   444 I QISL    : QSEE Interrupt Service Listener was activated successfully
. . .
Now, you should reproduce the issue you would like to record a logcat of. Once you are done, use a pastetool, e.g. https://pastebin.com/, to share your logcat. Never ever think of pasting your entire logcat into a post. Or you may be prosecuted...or executed.

Hey man, just clean flashed and everything is humming along nicely. 1 thing I noticed and 1 request/suggestion. I restored from cloud without issue, but when I went to "Backup & Reset" in Settings, it had Backup off by default.

The "request" would be Lockscreen Torch. Ultimately it's your choice of course, just something that I can't believe hasn't been implemented in Stock. Super handy.

Thanks for the Sailfish build!

So no gapps needed ? Is this similar to uberstock as I used that before and I liked it. Also is the ROMs between sailfish and Marlin safe to flash interchangeable? There's no difference?
Gapps are included. The ROM is basically an uberstock + a selection of useful features.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking with "Also is the ROMs between sailfish and Marlin safe to flash interchangeable? There's no difference?"

In the sailfish build there are definitely a few different device specific drivers present. So, you cannot flash the marlin build to your sailfish device and vice-versa. But when we are talking about the ROM itself, it has identical features.

Great thank you for taking the time to build this I'm a fan of uberstock but the maker has not updated in awhile so I'm happy to see this available. I was asking about the features and I think I may have phrased wrong, but you provided good info :highfive:
