ABCrom users should be immune to the uncertified devices Gapps blockages, as long as the maintainers continue to keep the fingerprints in line with official google factory image's fingerprints. For devices that still get monthly security updates, e.g. angler and bullhead, these fingerprints are updated in the ABC source monthly. For devices that have reached google's end of life for updates, e.g. shamu, hammerhead, flo, the fingerprints in the source are set to match with the last official google factory image fingerprints for the device..

The fingerprint certification check isn't really any thing new. It's just more forward facing now if devices fail it (an attempt to makes users nag their rogue device manufacturers to certify their devices). If ABCrom hadn't been staying on top of these fingerprints all along the certification checks that have been in place for over a year, like safety net and Play Store "Certified" status would not have worked.

Question regarding ABC rom for Nexus 6p(latest build)

How do I apply system wide font ?

Substratum theme for fonts that I used on nougat isn't working anymore ( it don't install, others state incomplete OMS support in rom)

Thanks in advance
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
Easiest way is to use a flashable zip of your favorite font.

N6P on latest abcrom.

So now that built-in dark themes notifications as well, I'm thinking of dropping substratum. Not much use for it anymore.

Only one issue:

When dark theme is enabled the navbar becomes invisible in certain apps, like Chrome for example. The buttons work just not visible.

Anyone got a solution for this?
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
It's something on your side (maybe a substratum navbar theme leftover), nav buttons are fine in any app (Chrome too) with any navbar mode.

Nexus 6p ABC

I am using the rom for almost a day now and there are some problems that I am facing, I don't know if it's because of something I did or the rom or Oreo itself.

1. Lag and stutter during animations ( accessing quick settings, swiping up on pixel launcher, accessing Google now feed ,etc ) . Most of the time I am getting these stutters , only sometimes it goes away.

2. Insanely slow fingerprint reader . Its taking around 2 whole seconds to unlock. I put my finger on the sensor, after a split second it gives me vibration feedback and then takes another second or more to wake up the screen.

I installed the following

ABC rom -> recommended gapps -> magisk -> elemental x kernel

I haven't done any system modifications. Disabled touchboost. Interactive governor with custom profle (ghostpepper) . Was previously using these on PN without any problems.

Thanks
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
Run the ROM with stock kernel next time before posting issues.

When using a modified custom kernel, you have done a lot of performance impacting system modifications.
[Android Builders Collective] sjandroiddeveloper:
Flashing rom zip now should restore stock kernel and it's settings right ?
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
You will also need to remove all custom kernel settings and profiles so the don't be set at boot.

Last ABC taimen update before Easter.

Small changelog: The default wireless adb access is disabled. Latest sync from ABC trees.

ABC_ROM_taimen-8.1.0-20180328.zip:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569965103

My fast update procedure:

1. wipe dalvik cache only

2. flash ABCrom.zip AND twrp.zip

3. switch slot via twrp and reboot to twrp

4. flash custom-kernel.zip AND twrp.zip

5. reboot to system and enjoy ABC

6. flash Magisk
[Android Builders Collective] sjandroiddeveloper:
So first i wiped all EX kernel manager app settings so it doesnt set on boot then flashed rom zip over it to restore stock boot image.

Didnt do anything.

Then just to be sure no custom kernel settings are left over and messing with the system i wiped everything and clean flashed again.

abc -> gapps -> magisk

Fingerprint sensor now is sometimes fast sometimes slow. Just to be clear on how its slow, i receive the vibration feedback almost immediately then the time to wake screen is variable.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
The whole process from finger to sensor till screen on is under a second for me. How fast are you expecting?

[MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] thank you very much for work. Not only building and sharing ABC, but for me at least, you gave a whole new life to our beloved shamu with Beltz!!!
[Android Builders Collective] phurya:
Thank you for the answer, but I have no idea what is rom blobs.,lol... I flashed open gapps, should I reflash beans gapps now?
[Android Builders Collective] Face_Plant:
Yes. According to the stuff I've read OpenGApps installs the AOSP camera libraries instead of the Google ones, which will cause Google Camera to crash.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
Open Gapps is famous for removing and replacing AOSP apps with Google Apps, and deleting ROM vendor proprietary stuff aka blobs (in this case your camera is likely jacked because the open Gapps install script probably removed some experimental camera xml files that are included in the ROM These files needed for HDR processing come from the vendor proprietary sources--not in AOSP because they're device specific). Blobs are Binary Large Objects. I guess that name makes sense in this case, because in the repo they're stuff like deodexed entire apk files instead of source that's built from scratch like the rest of the ROM.

Take a look in your Downloads folder (assuming that's where you had your open Gapps zip when you flashed it in TWRP). You'll see a file called open_gapps_log.txt. Read it. It will list all the stuff it removed on the last install.

For now...You should wipe system, cache, and dalvik and reflash all your zips with Beanzio Gapps in the queue instead of Open Gapps.
[Android Builders Collective] phurya:
Thank you, now I got it! I haven't installed Google camera from the gapps package, I installed after, via play store... But maybe it's the same problem. Well, Now I'm on NX camera, and it works flawlessly, so the problem is solved, I guess... Thank you all for your replies.
[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:
Open camera is really nice too, but if you like the Google camera I can also confirm that it works just fine on abc w ezio's unofficial beans gapps.
[Android Builders Collective] swear0730:
Will either Beans GApps or Ezio's unofficial Beans GApps work on Shamu? I've been steering clear of them because I thought they were 64bit.

I'm on Beltz 3/27/18 version for Nexus 6.
[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
No. ezio's Bean's unofficial are for arm64 only. Shamu is arm.

AFAIK Beans official Gapps haven't been updated since summer 2017 so they're no good for Oreo.
[Android Builders Collective] swear0730:
That's what I thought. So in your opinion am I best served with Open GApps Nano for Beltz or ABC? Are there other choices and if there are how are they different than Open GApps.

No answer is needed if none can be given.

[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
Well... Finally replaced my messed up 6P. I'll miss constantly checking Kantjer's site throughout the day for anything, lol.

[MENTION=4118860]davall[/MENTION] or any other Pixel 2 XL users. Just picked up the devices and proceeded to slap ABC on it. I've gotten to the point of having ABC+Magisk+Flash kernel booted up fine, but still trying to figure things out with this A/B stuff. Couple questions....

1. Do all Taimen roms have GApps built-in? Looking around, it seems like none mention the GApps at all on that section of the forms.

2. Guessing this is that A/B stuff, but it's no longer "/system/" anymore and it's now "/system/system" meaning that inside zips I've made, the script would have to be updated to extract to /system/system now?

3. How often do you have to flash this TWRP installer zip? Is it after changing the boot.img?

4. Lastly, I'm an OpenGapps user. Is it possible to use that with your build, Davall? I've seen that the rom was pretty barebones with the minimal GApps installed already.

Big thanks to anyone who can help shed some light on this for me. Been reading around XDA like crazy, but it seems as if everyone's already familiar with it and it's hard finding confused people like me atm.

Also... took me awhile to get the factory image to restore correctly. Seems that replacing my ADB/Fastboot files with the latest allowed it to go through. Probably almost bricked myself if I haven't done that. The unlock_critical command kept returning as failed.
[Android Builders Collective] davall:
Thanks for trying ABC on taimen [MENTION=4368019]Curiousn00b[/MENTION]

There is no dedicated recovery partition on taimen. The recovery resides within the boot partition on taimen.

Therefore you have to to flash the recovery again after rom or kernel installation.

A different solution would be to install twrp only temporarily with fastboot.

What are the advantages of open gapps? To my knowledge they have/had issues with playstore and the data transfer tool on Pixel2. Is this fixed? I don't plan to build with opengapps. Maybe I will change my mind when I get convinced ;)

Is there something not working with my published ABCtaimen build?

Do you have any restrictions with the included gapps?
[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
Open Gapps Aroma has just always been my go-to since it replaces the AOSP apps as well as being able to remove other included things, although Ezio doesn't include all the AOSP bloat that other roms use. I have no knowledge of anything about the Pixel 2 atm besides the fact that I'm in love with it right now. ?

And through the little testing(30 seconds maybe) that I tested, everything was fine. I just proceeded to mess around more with zips I've made and things didn't go well. I ended up stuck on the TWRP splash screen no matter what I did and had to restore a factory image. ?

I'll probably try again once I get home and just roll with it once I get it booted again. ?
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
A few things with this phone if you haven't read up on this yet...

-it helps if the current months stock image has been flashed to both slots. From what I've read, this phone treats custom roms like an OTA, which is flashed to the opposite slot that you're currently on (hence installing rom & twrp, then switching slots & rebooting recovery to flash kernel if desired).

-when you flash the full stock build, you can remove the "-w" from the install script to preserve your sdcard.

-don't wipe system when flashing updates of current rom, only caches.
[Android Builders Collective] donz_Simon:
Thank you very much
[Android Builders Collective] Curiousn00b:
That first point actually triggered off a good understanding in my head. I just started messing with it again now, currently updating the scripts in my builds to reflect /system/system now. I've noticed how flashing something, the partition flips to the opposite.

Currently, I've wiped both slot A and B, then got ABC installed on slot A with Flash kernel and Magisk. Not going to attempt to flash anything else yet till I know what works. p:

Same here. Just got my Pixel 2 XL, though I haven't flashed ABC yet, partly because I'm intimidated by the complexities with Taimen, partly just to see if I can stand stock for a week (like taking a month off drinking just to prove you're not really an alcoholic).
[Android Builders Collective] ffejy462:
A month?! I thought it was a weekend!

That's just plain irresponsible. Our founding fathers intentionally put a drinking holiday in every month. That's like saying the constitution is wrong. There's even an amendment to the constitution regarding drinking! (two really). ? Whole month, no drinking. Crazy talk.

I was just about to pop a post regarding dirty flashing. You see, i use magisk and ex kernel. If i dirty flash the latest build. Would i have to reflash magisk as well the the kernel is this order?

2. Magisk

3.kernel

Also do i need to reflash gapps as well?

Thank you.

Don't need to reflash magisk. Flash ROM, gapps, and kernel.

[Android Builders Collective] reference2myself:

[Android Builders Collective] buffal0b1ll:
As long as you don't wipe system before flashing the ROM the backup scripts will do their magic with the backuptool included in ABCrom. It backs up stuff to tmp before flashing the ROM to system, then restores it after the ROM is installed. The magic is in the ROM zip's installer script and system/addon.d

50 backs up and restores system/etc/hosts (e.g. your ad blocker)

70 backs up and restores Gapps

90 backs up and restores Magisk

These addon scripts got put in system when you last flashed the ROM, Gapps, and magisk zips. So long as you don't wipe system (or delete the scripts in system/addon.d) before flashing the ROM, they'll work their magic, get it?

So let's take this concept one step further. Let's say you want to dirty flash, but you want to change or update Gapps to a different or newer zip than you used last flash. You'd want to either wipe system beforehand or delete the 70-gapps.sh to prevent the backuptool and addon from doing it's magic and mucking up your new Gapps install with restored old Gapps.

No. A clean flash is when you wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik. Any flash that doesn't wipe data partition is dirty.

But I get what you're saying. If you want a clean system without any backuptool remnants you should wipe system whether you're clean or dirty flashing.

No no sir. It's just that i always thought the when ever you wipe system it would be considered as a clean flash. I thank you for clearing this up for me.
