always on display - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Anyways on display possible on pixel 1

Yes.
Custom ROMs have an Always on Display option.

There is also a substratum module that enables it, but they say it's kinda buggy.
If you look in the magisk repo there is a module that enables it, that works better.

[app][no root][marshmallow&above] pixel dialer

Guess I got to get this post started. The GOOGLE PIXEL DIALER FOR ANY ANDROID RUNNING MARSHMALLOW AND ABOVE WITH NO ROOT!!!!
So you install the APK I have posted below and then you can enjoy the Pixel dialer.
Now the In-call UI is green as reported by many users. I have found the solution to it but it only works on Aosp based ROMs and maybe someother ROMs too. So you go to Settings>Sim Card>Tap on Sim 1 or 2 depending on which you use to call with. Then tap color and then choose the default blue if you want the stock look. I am personally using Red.
So here are the list of bugs:
Caller ID not working
Places search not working in many countries of Asia
Application freezes while interacting with settings.
Current release is based on version: 5.1.131226882
After the application is installed, set it as the default dialer and disable (if available) your old dialer.
Tested and working on:
Moto G4 Play
Meizu M2 Note
Micromax A106 Unite 2
Moto Z Play
Sony Xperia X Compact
Samsung Galaxy A7
Samsung Note 7 ( it exploded ?)
So here is the download link:

Noticed many posts about the Pixel Dialer for other phones. Thought I should get it to other devices too but without root.
Kinda easy to get the whole thing together, extract the APK and then patch it.
He's like yo dawg I heard you like the pixel dialer... So I put a pixel dialer in your pixel dialer so you can dial while you dial.

This dialer is amazing. Buttery smooth and the visual style.. as if Google themselves made it. I don't think I want to live in a world where I can't use this dialer on my pixel.
Can you port the Pixel camera too? You would be a god if you got it to work!

It IS made by Google. The Pixel Camera won't work on any device other than Nexus and Pixel. But I will try.

Choosing custom ROM

Hey guys. Time to switch custom for me and at the moment I"m choosing between RR vs Dirty Unicorns vs Nitrogen. Really need help choosing (comments, experience, pros and cons). I know, I can flash all of them and choose, but first I don't want to spent so much time and 2nd it's always better to start with best one.
Thanks.

Even if you found someone who will bite, "best" is based on your own criteria. In my case I liked AquariOS the best but that's just me. I'm actually back on stock as I dig the squeeze function and the easy monthly updates. Once I get tired of stock again I'm sure I'll be back on AquariOS as it was rock solid and fit me like a glove. Just my 2 cents...

It's hard to say which Rom is best , only way to find out which one you prefer is to flash and see. I've tried Aquarios , Dirty Unicorns, Nitrogen , and am currently on Pixel Dust , which is a really nice rom too., i really like how it comes with Black amoled theme ... all are very good roms and you can't go wrong with any of these ,I also really wanna give Resurrection Remix a run too, as that was one of my favorites on my galaxy s5 days , but i'm on may security patch , so patiently waiting for an update for that rom and Aquarios . :good:

I've only run DU, but can tell you it is solid. DU coupled with Flash kernel and I haven't run into an issue yet that wasn't user error, get around 5 hrs SOT, but I'm on it a lot
That said, cust Roms are like batt life; the best, most accurate comparison is done on your own device, using your individual setup.
This is the 1st phone that I am completely content to stay on stock with custome kernel with Xposed.
Xposed Edge, Android Pify, uniformed transitions and gravity box will give you all if not more features.
For themeing Substratum + andromeda.
Plus xprivacy to block analytics from facebook, instagram, etc...
Adaway + youtube vanced. Plus active edge app customization with edge sense plus.

Carbon is absolutely phenomenal.

I've been using P as my daily driver since March. DP2 is really good. There are a few quirks like Visual Voicemail not working but overall its a solid daily driver IMO

Full OMS support, fully functioning Now Playing, Carbon gestures to name a few.
Dev preview 3 drops in a couple days, I'm guessing mid next week if you want to wait a bit for a more stable release.
The things for me are all the usability improvements; volume slider, gestures, etc

Flash kernel
Quick settings is a combination of
"nougat / oreo quick settings" to add specific tiles
"Substratum + subtweaks" - to change how many tiles are in the drop down quick settings
"SystemUI tuner" to change the number of quick settings in the first row when there are notifications in the pulldown.

Xposed edge is an app that requires xposed framework. The app has so many things it can do. I use it for gestures.
Edge sense is working on stock oreo. Not sure about P.
Here are a couple.photos of how the gestures I have setup.
There is never a navbar on screen so the whole screen is used.

Best Google Camera port

Which is the best Google camera port for Google pixel XL . M so confused as there are so many versions out there
Cstarks p3v8 is the best according to my knowledge...
Google "pixel-3-3-xl-exclusive-camera-features".
Go to page 97 and you will get link to another thread. Download p3v8 from there
Can you pls share the links and which all features don't work on pixel XL

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78183854&postcount=696
I am using pixel 1 xl
Here is what I have come to prefer, it works only if you are rooted or can edit the following file in any other way. Go into /system/build.prop and change the following,
ro.product.model=Pixel XL to ro.product.model=Pixel 3 XL
ro.product.name=marlin to ro.product.name=crosshatch (2 instances)
This way you get all feature of Pixel 3 and the camera app updates via playstore.

I was asking which camera port firesword14 is using, because he only said "Here is what I have come to prefer..." and then says to change the build prop, but he never says which camera he is using.

I did look at that review page but it is dated. At least one of the apps is not to be found in the Play Store etc. I also did not find AOD that you referred to?
I find the absence of the LED frustrating and am curious which of the - many - available apps in the Play Store readers use? There also seems to be some issues with privacy for at least some of these apps which is not reassuring.

(Question) Active Edge/Squeeze gestures support for any rom.

The world of development on pixel 2 XL devices is huge, I have gotten used to turning on the flashlight by pressing the edges of my phone with AOISP rom, the problem is that I cannot change rom due to almost no developer includes the Active Edge code by Google licenses. Is there any way that I can install it through Magisk / Xposed, or anything on a rom that doesn't support it? I want to change to a rom that supports face unlock. From already thank you very much. And I thank with all my support to the developers, who do an amazing job, greetings from Argentina. :laugh:

I think the only rom that still has faceunlock and active edge is pixeldust. It's a Motorola feature that is being pulled because they put up a stink over it.
Roms with active edge are abc, dirty unicorns and aosip

PixelDust has a working ActiveEdge that you can remap to do any action that you want. I currently have it set to squeeze for screenshots.
Forgot about Bliss, it has both as well
