For the most part it is fine but this is right after being idle for 30 min and it stays like this all day long and I think it is killing my battery because I can't even make it a full day any more

you could put some apps to sleep on the settings if Pixels have this option. Also, not used ram is wasted ram

I guess but it never did this before

You should utilize the apps that help find what's going on.
I always keep gsam battery monitor pro.
But for some more info betterbatterystays is a good way to start.
If you're not getting good battery then something is up. Probably a rouge app running in the background.
I'll download that app and check my ram.
What rom are you on/rooted/models installed.
More information you provide the faster you'll get help.
I'm personally on A11 crDroid v7.13
And I get on average 1 hour SOT/10% battery.
I do usually only run the device from 30-80%
I try to stay between this in hopes to preserve battery. Considering the ridiculous price Google got out of us.
My back camera lens is cracked and I'm honestly considering a pixel 4a.. I don't 5g anyway.
Edit: so here is where I'm at ATM

@andybones I did state at the bottom of my first post that I'm on Stock A12 and Cleanslate Kernel but I didn't mention that I am currently rooted and I have AccA module installed and set to charge to 80% I have the GoogleDialerMod module, Universal Safety Net Fix module, BusyBox module and More Live Pixel Wallpapers by Typhus_ I've used the paid version of those apps that you mentioned but I usually don't find anything all though I haven't since this started.

How well does that zz naptime app work and I know people always ask what features are available on crDroid but what I was wondering is what is missing from crDroid that stock android offers?

I believe it does. I have it set to doze immediately. and my texts don't suffer from coming in. and things like gmail work fine as long as turning off battery optimization.
so for me it's beneficial.
It's probably close to what Proton ROM is missing:
here is text from protons site to help me out:
"Not all Pixel-exclusive features are supported due to their proprietary nature. The following features are supported (depending on your device generation, like on the stock OS):
Active Edge - not on Pixel 5
Adaptive connectivity - yes
Adaptive Sound - yes with magisk module
App suggestions - yes
Assistant quick phrases - not sure but should
Auto-rotate face detection - maybe
Call screening - yes
Extreme Battery Saver - yes
Flip to Shhh - yes
Google Discover feed - yes
Increased touch sensitivity - yes
Live Caption - yes
Live Translate - yes
Magic Eraser - not sure, but may not have this, but does A11 have it?
Now Playing - yes
Screen attention - yes
Screen-off “Hey Google” - I assume yes, but don't use it
The following features are not supported:
“At a Glance” on lock screen - no
“Rules” automation - pretty certin no
Adaptive charging - crdroid has smart charginging in crdroid tweaks, but may be missing adaptive charging
Battery Share -has "power share" quick settings tile
Detailed battery usage history slots -seems to have this
Game Dashboard -crdroid twekas has a gaming mode in crdroid tweaks
Motion Sense - not sure what this is
Pixel Stand integration - maybe missing this
Quick Tap (this may be missing, but Tap Tap is probably better anyway)
Recents text selection" (has this since it comes stock with Pixel launcher with the gapps)
TL: DR -- really just:
“At a Glance” on lock screen
“Rules” automation
Adaptive charging
Pixel Stand integration

Enable true AOD and DT2W through Magisk Module.

I was not satisfied that my device allowed always on display only for notifications.
Here's a Magisk Module that I found to enable true AOD on our device, not only for notifications but with time, notifications and battery level.
Please be thankful to the developer - NOT me. I had no part in this and I will only link to the developer's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/display-enabler-magisk-module-android-9-t3857025
It works flawlessly on my A3. Advantages:
- you get a true always on display with time, notificationsand battery
- double tap to wake works (though it's a bit of a hit and miss at times)
Apologies if this has been shared before and thank the original developer.
Cheers!

Hows the battery? And how did you get magisk?

Battery does drain faster. I can't give you exact scores though. There are some solid tutorials under the Guides section of this forum to get Magisk. Personally, I installed twrp and flashed magisk.
@thedisturbedone Thanks for sharing this, man! I'm gonna try it for sure. Honestly, I don't care that much about AOD but not having DT2W was a dealbreaker for me.
DT2W works like 0,05% of the times.
(Basically never ever ever)
I've been using this mod for 7 days now and DT2W worked like 5 times. Maybe less.
AOD is flawless tho
Confirming that DT2W doesn't work, which I don't mind (I'm using wave gesture over proximity sensor to turn the screen on or off). AOD seems to be working fine, though it doesn't seem to turn off after 10 seconds in a pocket. When I cover proximity sensor, after 10 seconds display goes off, but then back to AOD again and this repeats every 10 seconds while the sensor's covered. Is it the same for everyone or do I need to investigate if some app is the culprit here?
Edit: I haven't identified which app might be doing it, so I fixed it with Tasker. Now AOD will shut down if covered for more than 5 seconds, exactly as designed
For anyone wondering - AOD seems to be consuming about 1-2% battery per hour (additionally to the standard idle usage).

That's true. AOD is a big hit or miss. Meanwhile, I've moved onto custom roms and happily using havoc with DT2W.

Would you recommend havoc as daily driver? How good is it? The battery? And what about any issues?
Would you mind sharing the tasker action?

Profile1 - proximity variable, state Proximity sensor,
enter task "variable set, %PROXIMITY, true"
exit task "variable set, %PROXIMITY, false"
Profile2 - enable AOD, event "display on",
enter task"custom settings, type: secure, name: doze_always_on, value: 1"
Profile3 - Disable AOD in pocket, state "Proximity sensor" + state "display off"
enter task"wait 1 second, if %PROXIMITY ~ true; custom settings, type: secure, name: doze_always_on, value 0; end if"
Profile 1 is only to get state of proximity sensor. Profile 2 enables AOD every time you turn on the screen. Profile 3 disables AOD when if the display's off and proximity is covered for more than 1 second (in my case it takes about 5 seconds to actually disable the AOD, not sure if due to Tasker polling or priorities of different tasks). You might add exit task to enable AOD when the phone's out of the pocket. Actually you can probably move profile 2 task to profile 3 exit task
I'm combining it with Wave Up app and additional profiles and tasks (for example I disable AOD when I have wired or BT headphones connected as volume buttons are blocked with AOD), so you might need to refine it to your needs. But I guess you get the idea

Battery is good. But if you are looking to play games, the device gets heated quite quickly. Probably an issue with intensive graphics. I've been using it as my daily driver.
I was able to install magisk module, I installed the aod enabler module and no different option appears than before.

In the main post, there is an old link where it says:
"The way this works is explained here"
I clicked there and downloaded v1
In the end it is not what I expected, I thought I had more options to turn it off after a certain time, or turn it on only with notifications.
Able to try pixel experience instead

You can have such features, but you'll need to use some automation app - I use Tasker to fine tune the AOD. I think that even Pixel phones have only on/off option by default.
If you are rooted with xposed installed you can activate AOD and pulse on pickup natively.
Someone please help me out
I installed the module on stock rom. It was working ok.
Then I installed a custom rom (Pixel Experience Rom)
The rom had the AOD included in itself so I didn't need this module.
Then I decided to go back to full stock (stock recovery, stock rom, stock everything), and i achieved this by flashing the Xiaomi official fastboot flashable full rom.
Now i installed Magisk again just for this module and it does not work at all.
I'm going mad guys

Is the module really installed and active? Magisk changed the installation template recently, so it might be necessary to update the module. You could try flashing older Magisk version and install module again to see if it helps.

Blur is enabled by default, disable it. Also, try re-applying the wallpaper. It should smoothen it a bit. The default launcher will lag because of the blur. Use another launcher if you want to use Blur. For me, I use Lawnchair.

I think this is going to be the worst supported rom ever .
Hello, thanks for your work.
Few (minor-ish) issues I've found:
•Gesture Navigation seem to be missing the right/left swipe gestures to go back, and HW keys work even when 3-button navigation is not selected. Gesture Navigation shows the settings for adjusting the Gesture Pill Bar length, and also left/right edge sensitivity, but the pill bar never seems to appear.
•Screenshot overlay (the one that appears after taking a screenshot, allowing you to edit/share) doesn't have a delete button, although I'm not sure if this is an issue or a feature.
•Also a few performance issues on my end: I thought it was the blur compositing tanking my phone's performance, but disabling blur in Developer Options (Under Hardware Accelerated Rendering --> Enable blurs: disabled) didn't seem to make a difference. This might just be in my head, but, any suggestions for improving performance?
The performance issues aren't extreme, just slightly off-putting.
Absolutely loving the style and aesthetics of the ROM, thanks again.
How can ROM have pre-installed GApps but no Camera app? Not even stock one?
Also atleast for Vodafone India, you need to configure the APN first to use mobile data.
Other than these problems, I like the overall look & feel of the ROM. I don't use gesture navigation so that's not really a big prb for me.
Would love to have advanced restart options in power menu if possible as like most MiA1 devices, power & volume buttons are pretty much hopeless for my device as well

Is there a MI A1 model with AMOLED so we can bother about AOD support??? What's the point in having AOD in a handset with LCD display??? Can't find a way to mess up your battery completely?

Don't listen to this annoying guy. Yes, there should be the option to activate it. Despite having an IPS panel, it is good to use it for when a notification arrives or you take the phone out of your pocket or you pass your hand over it. Like Motorola phones, it's a good feature.
Really nice rom, I love the UI. Some freezes but it happens on others roms too.
Good job!

Strange behavior: just for a moment i had a really strange lockscreen, everything aligned left with weather at the right of time (almost at the center of the screen), it actually looked very nice! But it soon disappeared and turn everything centered again. Is it a hidden feature?

[NEW APP] aodNotify - Notification Light / LED for Pixel 5!

This app was initially developed for Samsung Galaxy devices with Always on Display. As Pixel devices also have an Always on Display i decided to port the Samsung version to Pixel devices.
You need a notification light / LED for your Pixel 5!
With aodNotify you can easily add a notification light / LED to your Pixel 5!
You can select different notification light styles and show the notification light around the camera cutout, screen edges or even simulate an notification LED dot in the statusbar of your Pixel 5 or Pixel 4a!
As the notification light is integrated in Google's Always On Display it has minimal battery consumption and doesn't drain your battery like other apps which keep your phone awake!
This app hides the fingerprint icon, so the icon can not burn in your screen! Enjoy your notification light!
MAIN FEATURES
• Notification light / LED for Pixel 5 or Pixel 4a!
• Low energy notification preview
• Activate Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications
• Charging / Low battery light / LED
MORE FEATURES
• Notification light styles (around camera, screen, LED dot)
• Custom app / contact colors
• ECO animations to save battery
• Interval mode (on/off) to save battery
• Night times to save battery
BATTERY USAGE PER HOUR ~:
• LED - 3.0%
• LED & INTERVAL - 1.5%
• LED & ECO ANIMATION - 1.5%
• LED & ECO ANIMATION & INTERVAL - 1.0%
• NOTIFICATION PREVIEW - 0.5%
• ALWAYS ON DISPLAY - 0.5%
Without notification light the app consumes almost 0% battery!
DOWNLOAD:
DEVICES
• Pixel 5
• Pixel 4a
• Pixel ...
NOTES
• The app is still in beta stage, errors may occur!!
• Google may block this app with future updates!
• Please check if the app is compatible before updating phone software!
• Altough we never experienced any screen burn in issues on our test devices, we recommend to not keep the notification light / LED active for a long time! Use at you own responsibility!

The position of the light around the camera cutout may not be accurate in this beta.
Position can be adjusted in Notification light > Size & position > fine tuning section in the app.
Will update position parameters when correct positions are found.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Not capable with p5
I think OP meant to link:
Notification light for Pixel - Apps on Google Play
aodNotify - Notification light / LED for Google Pixel 7, Pixel 6 and more!
play.google.com
Download link fixed!
Only works with aod on

Sure, without active aod the screen would be completely off. Then the light will not display.
Using the aod consumes much less power than keeping the device awake without the aod. Thats why the app runs on top of the aod.

Did you not read the OP, or even look at it? It's all about how this was ported from Samsung to Pixel because the Pixel also has AOD. All the preview images show AOD.
"As the notification light is integrated in Google's Always On Display it has minimal battery consumption and doesn't drain your battery like other apps which keep your phone awake".
And then the name is quite literally aodNotify.
Reading the OP, should be step 1.
No problem, im here to help and answer questions regarding the app. Just ask whenever something is unclear.
Regards
@Jawomo you will not update the floatify application, I still use the latest version that I found compatible, for me indispensable
Hello @Jawomo I just invited you to a cafe, the application has a failure, when I lock the screen the application blinks for a few hundredths of a second which is annoying, it is like it locks the terminal and the application detects it, it appears and locks again the screen, can you try to fix that bug?

@Jawomo today it seems that the application hung when I had it in my pocket and I noticed a high consumption of the battery

thanks for the video. The always on display may be visible shortly before when activated. Will investigate if this can be fixed.
Hi,
I buy your application and I test the use of the battery.
I see leaving the LED flash for 8 hours Ceal adjacent 20% of my battery.
I think it's a lot, is it normal ?

2,5% per hour is normal.
You can use eco effects and interval mode to reduce power consumption even further.
Setting up sleep times over night can also reduce power consumption.
And the app is not fully optimized yet on pixel devices.
What effects did you use? Was interval mode active?
I use the effect, flashing Eco and I did not activate mode interval.
I did the test that night on purpose

I can also confirm the same behavior migmeil. Doesn't bother me too much, but I appreciate any further development on the ported app. Thank you Jawomo for your time on getting this app over to us!

s It is true that double tap does not work to wake up or to suspend the device. I have to say that it is fantastic in operation. I appreciate the effort for the dedication thanks

I don't know what you're doing but your setup might be messing with something.
My Cepheus is actually acting fine battery wise.
Please, try a clean flash with the latest update and do not setup any Magisk module and report back.
Have a nice one!

since a few days just left when I did clean install again I can say it's better and worse in some cases. I don't know what the heck is with my phone nor my instalation but, as previously said battery drain, for now its better but not the best, 2 hours of doing nothing 20% are gone, maybe there is too many apps in bg or some doze just dont work. i dont know, while using navi there is quite simillar battery drain maybe lil higher but it's normal I think.
I think this is pros regarding to previus state but now there are another problems.
From time to time screen just turns black and there is nothing I can do other than force reboot. It happens most while using Navi but just 40minutes ago it happend while charging on Qi. Weird...
For now this is everything, maybe it has a lil bit slower Fingerprint scanner than previously but actually this isnt most important since I use pin more often. Tommorow I may be able to send ss from baterry drain
