android q - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

How many of you are running Q and how do you like it. I am running the newest with lawnchair v2 alpha. Seems pretty smooth so far. Any new gesture or tricks you can tell me?

It's very smooth and it has awesome battery life (probably the best I have experienced in this phone). I think this is probably due to the "all dark/black" theme in it. I like it a lot. Only thing I haven't gotten to work yet is the Adaway app. Everything else, works like a charm.

Getting MIUI-like gestures on AOSP based ROMS

So, I got my MI MIX 2 one week ago and I loved MIUI gestures, they are much faster and easier to use than navigation bar for me. But I'd really like to install AOSP based ROM. So is there any way to get them on custom ROM?

"All in one gestures" is pretty good
Edge gestures is great. It's a paid app but well worth it.
Are you using aosp based rom?

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.

You should have a poll option for "All of the above"! That's my vote...
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.

Navbar size

Is there a way to resize the navbar , I mean like smaller icons? I've tried the adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-30 but it just lowers the navbar. I don't want to use substratum or twrp zips.
Have you tried OnePlus gestures? I know it's not what you're asking for but I used a OnePlus 6t extensively and it was a joy to use thanks to the gesture navigation. Once I found out it could be done on the Pixel, I switched and haven't looked back to the OnePlus since.

It looks cool but the animations are a bit over the top for me. I like the subtle-ness of one plus gestures.

I've tried all kinds of gestures apps, definitely Fluid Navigation Gestures is the best app, but for me I like the buttons more because they are faster for me.

Only 24 hours of use and loving it. I already paid for the pro (with Google Opinion Rewards), signed up for beta, and set up the gestures to my liking. Only noticed a couple times where the fullscreen looked weird but it's working very smooth and fast.

If so eone can port stock lib then maybe yes for now no
It does support dual Sim.
Adaptive brightness doesn't work, keep waking up to 0 brightness
Doesn't pass safety net. Had to change props fingerprint for it to pass.
Other than that, fast and battery consumption is quite good. I like the clean look of pixel experience rom.
Edit: after switch back and forth between manual and auto brightness, adaptive brightness became good.

If it doesn't say, then it's H930. Especially since the post before you talks about dual SIM card. H932 does not have dual SIM card capability.

After first time set up the phone and boot to home screen, I got the message "phone is starting", I waited for about 10 mins but nothing happen more, the process still ocur. How to fix this?
edit : problem solved by reflashed without gapps, thanks for nice rom!!
edit 2 : could not get Magisk to work, the app is dissapeared after flashed via TWRP.
p/s : would you mind adding double tap and status bar editor to your rom?

Twrp disappeared happen here and there or to the other rom download app and install it and reboot.
Pixel experience is really a clean slick beautiful sexy rom that not much of the so call customize. If you prefer tons of customize go for havoc , rr , bootlopper , etc if you prefer clean Los , pixel ex etc

Sorry If it's much to you, but I honestly think double tap to sleep/wake is one of the best feature, it's the first thing I wonder everytime I consider a rom. It's just my opinion. Any way, thanks for your nice rom with good battery life and pretty smooth.

I play asphalt 9 I play aov I play mlbb I play arpg I play pubg I play all high demand game but all works smooth
Yup double tap to wake does work.
Magisk, viper4audio, ainur sauron, adaway all works.
Nova launcher + Fluid NG- gesture navigation works really well on this too.
I highly recommend Fluid NG, disable nav bar and you have a very clean UI
Slim, clean, slick, fast and battery life is excellent.

No extras will be added to this rom as it's meant to be a copy of the Google Pixel 3. Hence Pixel Experience Rom.

[Discussion] Which ROM are you guys using and why are you using it?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which rom you are using and the reason behind it.
I am using xiaomi.eu 10.2 stable, I am basically using it because of stability. I previously used pixel experience for a while, it was a bit of a hassle to boot it up.Since the dev was inactive and the rom had some bugs I had to use miui which I am not a big fan of.
The goal of this discussion is to find out if anyone is using stock android like roms without any issues.
Thanks

I have the Chinese device, with the Chinese developer vendor image. Installation was just the usual, flash vendor image, flash rom, format data, flash Magisk.
Stock global, because I think MIUI is cool, and I bought this phone for that.

That's about where I was, other than the notification nightmare which made it close to unusable for me. I just couldn't see the point, my conclusion being it's designed for people who like themes, which aren't my cup of tea.
Yeah notifications are a disaster. I thought MIUI was cool and I have all the pixel XL devices too, so I have choices.
Sent from my Mi MIX 3 using Tapatalk
There are a couple apps for which I get notifications but no sound, most notably Google Keep and Settle Up. Other than that, I don't have major issue with notifications since 10.2 update.
Stock Chinese ROM with Nova Launcher Prime for me. I like the lack of Google trash, like Chrome, not being needed to use and access the Play Store. Literally the most bloat-free experience after uninstalling the Chinese bloat that isn't needed.
Dev eu rom. Since the first release. Happy with it. No problem at all.
Cn device with global Rom, I like MIUI battery management last all day with heavy use.
Xiaomi.eu weekly with Nova prime on top.
I really like it and notifications work fine it is just a little bit annoying that you have to set app specific settings for them to work properly though.
Guys what's the notification issue you're talking about?
Im on global miui too but i dont know exactly what it is?

Which messaging app are you using? For me, I could never get notifications to work properly with Google Messages, and with the native Messages app, group messaging didn't work, nor does it have a desktop interface. This may have improved with the more recent releases, but Pixel Experience was so good I have no need to bother trying MIUI again (the other big thing it was missing is the smart unlock functionality).
The only thing I'll regret in stock android is the full screen gesture. I love it in miui
