i got it working. flasjed on 2 different devices by doing the following:

-in twrp wipe system, cache, data.

-flash abc-taimen

-flash twrp

-flash disable-verity

-switch sloths in TWRP (go to reboot menu and select slot opposite from current slot)

-reboot to recovery via twrp menu

-flash Flash kernel

-flash TWRP

-reboot system and let ROM boot, and complete setup

-Reboot to TWRP and flash magisk or any other mods
[Android Builders Collective] endomatic:
Question:Did you flash the disable verity zip?
[Android Builders Collective] slothdabski:
Yes I did, oops, I'll edit my post. i flash it during the initial flash of ROM, TWRP, then disable-verity. before switching slots and rebooting
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
Thanks for posting this, I'll try this tonight. Flashing things on this phone is such a *****. Tried earlier following dev's instructions (which I know worked for others so its not that). Kept rebooting to bootloader no matter what I tried. Was able to flash nitrogen so I should be able to get ABC going.

1 question, were you already on march stock image, did you skip flashing that first?

Thanks and thanks again to dev for building this.

[Android Builders Collective] slothdabski:
i am on march image, but have flashed another rom since stock. didnt flash stock again before ABC, just wiped system, cache, data.

ive noticed that some roms you can just reboot, and some you need to switch slots before rebooting. with this ABC build, i got the bootloader screen with just rebooting. i didnt get the rom to boot until i switched slots before rebooting
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
This ABC ROM is freaking awesome btw. Wish I found this sooner.
[Android Builders Collective] Roger.T:
Now you can enjoy it...?
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
followed these directions and after flashing the kernel & twrp, after rebooting system I get the error message that system is corrupt. I cant get past the white google screen. back to the drawing board. Was on the March vendor image, nitrogen rom, which I was able to flash earlier today.

edit-finally got it going. after going through the process the first time, I started on slot A, switched to B after flashing the rom and stuff. After getting the corrupt system again, I did the flash-all on slot B, then started over, basically doing the reverse slot wise. WTF. **** google for this dual slot ****.

said it earlier, but thank everyone again for the help. this thread really is the best

Where did you buy the battery? Want to do mine? [emoji16]

I did mine once already but whatever battery I bought must be a pos because it's already doing signs of degredation only 3 months later.

Ended up cracking the LCD the first time I did the swap so I'm gun-shy about having to do it again
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
I got it on eBay but the listing isn't available anymore or I'd link it to you, I got the real deal oem battery though with temp sensor and everything. IDK how u cracked your screen. U must have tried pulling on the battery, I didn't even use any heat on my battery, I just used an old credit card to slide under there and move around until I separated the whole thing from the glue. I broke the back glass into a million pieces but that was already cracked and I had a replacement ready. Just be more careful next time, I thought it was pretty easy. There's probably not many oem batteries left but we already know the original batteries had issues so I'm sure there's other ones out there that r just as good, just don't expect a temp sensor. I've heard good things about cameron-sino batteries.
[Android Builders Collective] CYoung234:
I have a Cameron Sino in my 6p right now, but it does not have a temp sensor. Bought it from Amazon. Other people say their Cameron Sino batteries do have the sensor. I am not running Accubattery right now, but according to it, my battery was around 90% after 3-4 months use. I also have 2 eBay batteries for the future. One definitely has temp sensor, the other does not. The key to install these is watch several of the videos and then just be patient. I used a hairdryer for the camera glass and plastic bottom cover. It worked perfectly - you just need to take your time. No heat needed for the battery - just a credit card, and be careful of the ribbon cable running under the middle of the battery - just work your way around the edges. Of course, some of this will be easier the second time around. I assume you did not glue the new battery in, for example...
[Android Builders Collective] merbiyatch:
hello. would just want to know what version of stock launcher does this rom include? it has the option for adaptive icons with rounded square as an option not all stock launchers have this. and what is the apk name for it. thanks in advance
[Android Builders Collective] NLBeev:
I've seen Pixel launcher in Beltz rom and probably this launcher is also in ABC.

BUT......I'm using Nova launcher.

[Android Builders Collective] chrisexv6:
I actually bought what I thought was an official Cameron Sino replacement. Came in a fancy Cameron Sino plastic case, with hologram seal, etc. No temp sensor though (thin cable)....not sure that makes a difference, and if it does Im not sure where to find a battery that definitely has the sensor. Also, recently installed Accubattery and when the stock charger was hooked up, the charge voltage was in the red (too high)....not sure how that just randomly starts happening but that seemed to be an issue. Ive since started using a USB A-C cable so I charge at slow rate which keeps the charge voltage in the green. I assume that might have taken some (a lot?) of life out of the battery, but Im not sure if it did anything else to the phone.

Not sure if its degrading or what, but my screen on time has tanked, the "active" drain is ridiculously high all of a sudden (like I cant get it under 35% per hour), etc.

When I replaced the battery originally, I think my mistake was too much heat...it looked like the glass separated from the LCD panel (which is not necessarily an issue) but in certain spots where the seal wasnt broken, it put enough pressure on the panel to crack it. I guess I could try it again eventually, just use less heat and hope the case comes apart easier now that its already been apart once.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
They quit using the temp sensors in their batteries because they say they developed a better technique for achieving whatever that was supposed to help with, I don't remember, but they had a valid reason for it. And ya u don't even need any heat to get the battery out, just slide a credit card underneath it. U only need heat for removing the back glass and plastic strip. I did mine with a blow dryer just like that other person was saying,
[Android Builders Collective] chrisexv6:
The heat wasnt to remove the battery...that part I did without heat (I learned my lesson after I broke the LCD). Took some time but a credit card and a playing card separated the battery pack from the phone.

The heat was to get the back glass off, but again I think it loosened the gasket seal between the glass and LCD panel and when I used the suction cup thingy to separate the display unit from the case, it ended up separating the glass from the panel. Which made it almost impossible to remove from the case without cracking it (I tried but didnt get very far before it cracked).
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Ahh gotcha, well you live and you learn. Should probably get back on topic and not pollute thread with battery talk. Sorry mods :/ Absolutely loving this ROM, I feel bad for all the people who don't know about it since it's not posted in the usual places.
[Android Builders Collective] rp158:
People, quit these useless quotes: take care of small Bullhead-screens and painfull scroll-fingers.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Lol that gif :D

[Android Builders Collective] selw0nk:
Will you ever add the option to disable the ripple effect to entering the security pin code?
[Android Builders Collective] NLBeev:
Dirty flashed Beltz180314 over previous.

Reflash pico opengapps, Magisk 1600, Ex5.08. No issues. Substratum themes kept.

Ex5.09, Ex5.10 and Ex5.11 do not work with Beltz, bootloop or boot ends at bootloader screen.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
So I'm using the ABC rom on my nexus 6P and the google photos app thinks I'm on a pixel phone and thus have free unlimited storage so it doesn't let me choose between "origional" and "high quality" for my backup options, but I just checked online and the backups are indeed still counting against my storage quota. So I at first thought I was gaining free unlimited full resolution storage, but really I only lost the option to have free unlimited high quality backups. Any chance this could be fixed in a future build? I'm maxing it out right now just to see what happens once i run out of space.

Edit: Well I maxed out my space and it did some tests and it appears to still be backing up at full resolution despite being out of space. Can anybody else confirm this? Are my backups at risk?
[Android Builders Collective] Roger.T:
Haha!

ABC on mission..?
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
I guess it then continues to save them at high quality.

But well, now that you confirmed the unlimited space trick doesn't really work, i think it's just better to drop it. I'll remove it for the next build.

In the meantime, you can do it manually if you are rooted. Open the /system/etc/sysconfig/nexus.xml and remove these lines:

<!-- Both versions of this string are needed due to a miscommunication. b/29978934 -->
<feature name="com.google.android.apps.photos.NEXUS_PRELOAD" />
<feature name="com.google.android.apps.photos.nexus_preload" />
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
I did some testing though and ran it out of space and it looks like they're still backing up at full resolution even though I hit the limit. Would want others to confirm, but I did some uhd video and it's still uhd in the cloud.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
I think it's just better to avoid the risk ;)

Once you remove those lines, wipe google photo app data and reboot.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Ehh, I'm too curious to see what happens now. I'm gonna leave it as is till the next build. ?
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Hey [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] is there any chance u plan to add the option to choose which ways the phone is allowed to autorotate? 270° rotation causes an audio stutter on the 6p as it switches the left/right speaker orientation and it's really obnoxious, I've always worked around it by only allowing it to rotate 90° but can't find that option in this ROM.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
I have a Pixel 2 with the free unlimited photos and if I go to Drive>Settings>Upgrade Storage it looks like the Photos reported GB are counting against my total space available. It is unclear, but maybe Google is letting you go past your limit with these backed up photos. What I'd be curious to know it's if you can copy a big file up to drive now. Maybe Google is keeping track of how far you've gone over because of Pixel photos but you still have useable space and you can't see it on the front end UI?
[Android Builders Collective] drugo732:
Hi [MENTION=4831195]buffal0b1ll[/MENTION] on your bullhead ROM does the default Launcher have dynamic calendar and clock icons?
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
I just built it. I'd never take credit by calling it my ROM. But to answer your question, I don't think it has dynamic clock and calendar icons. I just switched over from Nova for the first time ever, added Clock and Calendar to the home screen, applied an icon pack. The icons didn't match today's date and now's time. But wow, for a stock launcher it's a real gem.
[Android Builders Collective] setiawanjimmy:
Nope

Try clean flash
[Android Builders Collective] merbiyatch:
iam on your rom sir but i i cant seem to find what the launcher apk file.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:

It's the launcher that comes with the ROM. This is it's source of if I remember correctly https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/launcher3-pixel-launcher-features-t3620972

You may already be using right now and not realize it, that is if you haven't installed a third party launcher like Nova already.

I'm using Beltz daily; works great with ex5.08. I'll keep it for now.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Haven't build for hammerhead for a while.
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
auditd isn't supported by the kernel your trying to use would be my bet. It could also be a SElinux issue. Also thermald is keeping a cpu offline for some reason. Post links to the ROM your porting as well as the one your trying to use as the base. Also grab a logcat of the kernel side. Basically there's so much wrong here that your gonna have to do the work to figure it out. I don't mind helping with pointers but you might be in way over your head.
[Android Builders Collective] letmedanz:
Yep..

The error is due to your hardware :(

[Android Builders Collective] adomol:
I am building with almost identical hardware specs as yours. Before I finished tweaking the system to build I was running into various errors. What I finally settled on was using no swap partition, instead I made a 16gb swapfile in my root partition and MOST importantly you need to increase the size of your /tmp. By default it is limited to half of your ram, so you should only have a 1gb /tmp right now. So give yourself about a 4gb in your /etc/fstab and you should be good. I've been building for flo, grouper, shamu, and hammerhead with this system.

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=4G 0 0

Just run df -h to make sure your /tmp is indentified as tmpfs, which it should. If not, just change the line above accordingly.

I'm doubtful on this, because when long time ago i added it was janky. I'm not so willing to change default rotation behaviors.

Not atm.

Check Bill's reply. It's in system.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Hmm, well thanks for the reply. I'm gonna have to find a way to do it myself or I'm gonna have to get real used to toggling autorotate on and off all the time. I do too much music and videos to have it skipping audio for a second every time I move phone around. That's one thing that really annoyed me about the default behavior of this phone.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:

Beltz Shamu March update with open pico and supersu 2.82 clean flash. One thing I've noticed is that it's charging slowly on the original charger. I don't know if it's ROM related but the bottom display shows the message and the phone actually charges very slowly. Any tips on this?
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Setting it to false blocks the system to swap the left and right stereo channels when rotating to 270°. So, for a stereo audio streaming, you'd have inverted channels.

I can't add it to the rom because it's not a solution that would eventually be good for all user cases, but if it's fine for you, that buildprop indeed does its job ;)

I don't have a shamu but roms have nothing to do with the charging speed, it depends on the battery status and temperature, charge level, the charger and other hardware things.

You are probably used to roms without the "realtime charging values" feature, where the speed value is an average calculation.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Yeah I don't care. I can't tell the difference when the speakers are only 6 inches apart, might as well be mono, it only effects the phones front speakers, and it fixes the stutter that annoys the hell out of me. Yeah dont worry about it, I found my fix.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Then don't do it manually each time, use the attached flashable zip ;D

Just flash it each time within the rom zip.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Excellent. Much thanks.
[Android Builders Collective] raajivsh999:
I was just trying to be sure about it. And you would think that I'm seeing things but the phone is not actually charging as well as it should since yesterday. It was on 30% before i plugged it in and 30 mins later it's on 34%. Same thing yesterday. Just wondering if my charger has gone wonky or if it's something else.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
That could even be. Sometimes even the battery stats can be odd and a reboot fixes it.
[Android Builders Collective] setiawanjimmy:
It's either your charger, your battery or your charging port that's gone bad.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
