[ROM][Pixel 2 XL][10.0_r41] PixelDust Android 10 for taimen [07 August 2020]

[nitin.chobhe]

Pixel Dust 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 Pixel Dust 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. Thanks to all development teams, e.g. ABC ROM, AICP, AOKP, AOSPA, BenzoROM, CarbonROM, crDroid, DirtyUnicorns, LOS, OmniROM, PureNexus, Screw'd and UberRom, we borrowed a few features and tweaks from. Special thanks to xanaxdroid and flar2 for their commits which I have used to develop the custom kernel in this ROM.

The Pixel Dust 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 XL!!! If you like our work, please consider to buy Roger the first beer, and a few more for the other team members and spezi77. Cheers!


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

If you submit bug reports without a log, you may be prosecuted...or executed.

Disclaimer:
If your device fails to comply with your standards of what you consider functioning, I am not liable. This is provided free of charge and does not come with a warranty. Although, if you provide a log, I can provide some sort of assurance that I will look into your issue.

There are minor known issues:
1. Clock style is not getting applied to lockscreen
2. Sometimes the navigation bar got unresponsive (once in last 4 days for me) - restarting system UI fixed this.

I see under known issues, that clock styles aren't working. But they are working for me. Am I magic?

 

[khavkhd]

Same here, lockscreen clock styles do work.

Do we still need to reboot to apply substratum theme? @nitin.chobhe

Looks like because see below quote

I mentioned that in this post under minor known issues.

What about other things? Or you just want to give ONLY that feedback? Nothing else?

You'll have to test that. Never used substratum since the dark mode arrived on Android.

[maddog808]

Hey buddy, I'm currently rooted with stock Android 10, and I can't stand that the ring and notification volumes are linked together. I've searched and searched, and nobody seems to know a reliable way to unlink them on the Pixel 2 XL running stock Android 10. Does this ROM allow the ring and notification volumes to be truly unlinked, independent of each other?

 

[enozten]

Do you have a full list of features?

Cheers,
Vladislav

This is running pretty much perfectly, thanks so much! I'm running this over stock because this allows me to tether with this (Magisk module.)

Only bug I've encountered so far is the bluetooth icon shows a device is connected when nothing is. But I can live with that!

 

[dadozer]

Safe to dirty flash over the 10/13 beta release?

 

[itslels]

So far the main bug I've noticed is battery settings crashing sometimes.

 

[93fuelslut]

Is there an option to swipe down to clear all recents once you hit the recent key?

 

[nitin.chobhe]

Safe to dirty flash over the 10/13 beta release?

I would advise a clean flash...

So far the main bug I've noticed is battery settings crashing sometimes.

Log please. Never happened to me.

Is there an option to swipe down to clear all recents once you hit the recent key?

I didn't get you.
