Only 3 options when I boot to twrp.?

Earlier we got boot animations from pixel 2 devices, but I am here with flashable ones to reduce work on your part.

So just download, and get to flashing!

Instructions-

-TO FLASH PIXEL 2 BOOT ANIMATION+SPLASH-

Just download the appropriate boot animation and flash through any custom recovery. If you dont have one, use apps like flashify to get the job done.

-TO BACKUP YOUR CURRENT BOOT ANIMATION-

Through a root file manager, go to /system/media and change bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak and then flash whichever pixel 2 boot zip you fancy.

-TO RECOVER BACKED UP BOOT ANIMATION-

Again through a root file manager, go to /system/media and delete bootanimation.zip. Now rename bootanimation.zip.bak to bootanimation.zip.

Downloads-

Light version- Download!

Dark version- Download!

Disclaimer- IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE BECAUSE OF THIS ZIP. YOU CHOSE TO FLASH IT!

One thing though, in TWRP 3.2.1 the zip signature verification fails. You have to uncheck zip signature verification before flashingso that it works

Hi and welcome. There is a sticky post at the top of the posts listing. Look in there and you will find a search link along with other upgrading things.

Personally, I'd stick with some of the customising things you mention rather than jumping into the ROM flashing game. By all means start reading through ROM related stuff, but there are dangers in flashing your device and I'd get the hang of the basics first.

Just for info: This is the upgrading section, basically about ROMs and the more technical stuff. If you just want to add a program or two and change the look of the device then I suggest the Kaiser forum is the one to use.

The Essential Phone has dropped to $449 at Best Buy now;

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nawaf88:
I just placed my order when essential on Friday. I'm going to see if they can price match or cancel. Plus the camera is only $50 now
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:
Just purchased my Essential last week, thankfully Best Buy will price match. Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
In the bigger picture what does this mean? None of the Best Buy stores within a 50 mile radius of me (6 of them) have the PH-1 in stock. Only internet orders. And Amazon doesn't have it anymore, either.....
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ZBell:
I ordered the white one and should receive it Wednesday. The only problem I had was the 360 camera wasn't available for online purchase.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
It means they've hit the sweet spot.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gk1984:
Or it means they're clearing out stock.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Could be, it sounds like they have plenty from what we've heard about sales.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
Amazon also has Black for $449
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] svader:
It's a downward trend for the newer hardware developers. I hope they find success in some form, or else we will be relegated to the big 3 (or 2!). The smaller phone developers provide for competition in the market, but if they fail this spectacularly, new players will dry off and the bigger players will get to charge as much as they want.

The bigger players are increasing the MSRP so much that the smaller players are getting a free run to increase their prices thinking they'll get away due to the price difference, but that is not happening, and companies like OnePlus and Essential should keep that in mind when increasing cost following the established market players.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
That's strange. I only see it from 3rd party vendors for $660.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
It looks like Amazon is out of stock. When I checked the Black was only available!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:

I hope root and official TWRP comes out soon. It's the Essential Phone at $449 or I'll get the OnePlus 5T for the $500 or so price, which will guaranteed have big development.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] robocopvn:
It's getting $450 on amazon and Bestbuy. On the official it's still $499

Could you provide a link to Amazon listing for $449 please? I don't seem to be able to find it......

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074...dpPl=1&dpID=41pchcdpyNL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

It goes in and out of stock, but I can confirm it's listed at $449 when it does allow you to add to cart. Last I saw it, it allowed you to order and it said in stock on Nov 11th.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
When I click the link, I see the same thing that I find when I search. Only 3rd party vendors, with lowest price at $628. Thanks anyway.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] heov:
As mentioned, it goes n and out of stock. That's the link. Yesterday it allowed you to preorder for Nov 11 stock at $449. Clearly, they're out of stock again.

You'll have to periodically check both black and white listings if you want to snag it at $449 from Amazon. That is certainly Amazon's Essential phone link, though.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] heov:
Pure white is currently to in stock at that link for $449.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
Didn't see this mentioned in this thread. The bb deal from yesterday is a packaged deal. You get cricket (or other) activation kit plus $40 refill for a total of $441. Sell the cricket stuff on eBay (done this several times before) and you only pay a little over 400 before taxes.

I too ordered the phone already last week and tried to match. They wouldn't let me. I will simply return the one I ordered last week after getting the second one.

PS: don't try to buy the phone plus Sim kit deal at a bb store - it's a nightmare. It took them 1.5hs last time I tried. I suggest you do this online without headaches.

for those still looking, good luck that deal is still up

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Amazon has it listed at 449U$S for the white version but type offer says its "only phone", what does that mean? Generic box and no accesories?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] socali:
It means phone in original box and w/accessories, but not bundled with 360 camera.

For the past few days they had phone only for $449 and phone + 360 camera bundle for $499.

For some reason this afternoon they bumped the phone+camera back to $649. I was waiting for the black bundle to be in stock, but now not sure what's going on..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IOmega666:
Nice! I guess I'll be ordering it soon! It's a great deal at $449, the updates are making the phone a lot better and the Google Camera port it's pretty solid. Thanks for the info man!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
I can confirm Best buy did a price match for me
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlord721:
According to 2 posts on reddit, tomorrow the PH1 will go on sale at BEST BUY for $115 and through Sprint for $145. https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7bxhic/essential_phone_for_115_at_best_buy_friday/

https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/7bxi45/sprint_selling_essential_for_145/
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] socali:
The way I understand it, this is an 18-month lease for $145 ($115 + $30 activation). You will not own the phone at the end of the lease at this price, but will be expected to pay another $555. Also, Sprint requires new lines and 50 days active account before unlock.

BTW: Amazon finally got their pricing corrected for both the black and white, with and without the camera.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
somebody explained this with

$30 activation fee

$25 down payment

$125 remaining towards device

and cancel lease / plan for 175 total

plus taxes

so you might be looking at $355 for a phone locked to Sprint.

this is close to the deal I got from BB on unlocked for $400 after selling the $40 Cricket kit.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
I should have got the cricket act. Kit now that you said you sold it.

I wonder if I can still do it
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlord721:
Nope, you can get this phone thru Sprint for $145. With upgrade or add a line.

If you order online the $30 activation fee is waived (if you get it in store you have to pay it) then it's $5 month for 18 months then a $30 payoff and you own it.

You can also pay it off early if you want and have it unlocked and cancel your Sprint account if you choose.

Hard to believe but it's true.

wow, that's insane ;)

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
I sold Sprint 10 years ago. They should have never gotten rid of 2 year contracts. It was a much better deal. I hate the idea Sprint is acting like a creditor
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] pbr35586:
I bought the phone for $499.00 at Best Buy. My Nexus 5x died on me so I needed a phone then. Best Buy did give me $50.00 back a week later. I wish I had seen the $40.00 Cricket kit. But I am very satisfied at $449.00. Sprint is a nogo where I live at.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
I just checked with Sprint. They are giving you a discount and if u cancel early or before the 18 month agreement, you pay the remaining balance at full retail price of $699.

You can't pay it off early with the price being 145, it will deduct what u paid from 699.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
I just went through this and apparently you can. I have my lease and it states that an early termination requires you to pay off the remaining months and end of lease purchase price of thirty dollars. I'll admit it sounded to good to be true, but it's clearly written in the lease. I've had Sprint for over 14 years so either way, I won't be affected by it if I can't pay it off on Monday. Time will tell for those who are not on Sprint trying to do this!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
Interesting because I looked at the lease agreement too and under Early Termination is states "any promotional discounts will not apply against the remaining device lease charges". Sounds like you forfeit the monthly discount rate.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
Yes it does state that. The condition is based upon monthly bill credits, i.e. iPhone X is $22.00 a month "AFTER" the monthly bill credit (normally $41.67). There is no credit nor deductions in the lease. It's a flat payment of $5.00 a month for 18 months and option to by for $30.00 at the end.

One other thing. There is nothing stated in the contract that this is a promotional or discounted price.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
Ok. So for those that are interested in this Sprint deal, I went through a sample agreement with the sales Rep and the break down is this.

It's an 18 month agreement at $25 down with $5 a month for 18 months with a purchase option of $30 at the end of the lease agreement. So if you sign up and pay just 1 month at $5 with the $25 down and you terminate early u will be responsible for $5 * 17 months which equals $85. Then you will have to pay off the phone at a discount rate of 25% of the full Sprint retail price of 699.99. This comes out to $175.

So after paying one month, plus the $25 down at time of signing, u can cancel right away and pay $260. Which is $85(remaining lease agreement) plus $175(discounted purchase price).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
I guess YMMV. I didn't have any problems. Here is over a twenty page thread on SlickDeals of others doing it as well! https://slickdeals.net/f/10772655-sprint-essential-phone-5-m-with-flex-lease
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
One person said the Rep told them the purchase price was $175. Which is exactly what the Rep told me.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
I guess it all depends on who does it. At first I was told I would have to pay over $500.00 at the end to purchase it. This is crazy how people are getting so many different prices. Mine is thirty like the others in that thread. Either way it's a good deal, even if some have to pay $175.00 at the end.

When you looked at your lease agreement, what was your purchase amount at the end?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
It didn't tell me what the purchase price was. That's why this desk is so confusing. Most agreements tell you the total price of the device but this one doesn't
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
Mine did.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
As you can see no credits either.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
Yes. Mine said that as well. I was referring to the total phone price. I think what I was told was more correct that you owe the lease agreement plus 175 if you cancel early.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] justlookin412:
Okay. Mine states it right in the lease "Purchase Option Price" at the end of the lease.

Like I've said. There is plenty of others who've had success!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
This is correct.

:good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] BonkersTheClown:
Rubin should have seen this coming. No name recognition kills big-time. And frankly, as an Essential Phone owner, I'm feeling kinda underwhelmed. The best I can say is that it's the only/best pure android experience available via the Sprint store. It's got great specs certainly. It's super nice to have the 128GB internal. After updates, the camera is serviceable and no longer completely terrible. LCD's are being abandoned for a reason. No waterproofing on a phone that is a nightmare to open and work on is just plain weird. The ability to add mods is a HUGE selling point. The fact that there's only one mod is pretty pathetic. And it's EXTREMELY BUGGY AND LAGGY.

Andy Rubin should have started at $499 to begin with and even at that price-point he needed an absolutely flawless launch, which certainly didn't happen. Essential has probably muscled it's way into the market long-term. They were smart enough to get with Sprint (better than nothing) and they got noticed in a big way. They also managed to make a truly beautiful phone which is a big deal to some people. So I don't think that the Essential brand will die just yet. Everything is now riding on the PH-2 (or whatever they end up calling it) being a much better phone and customer experience. Keep your ear to the ground and match Apple and Samsung on the latest gimmicks next year. This year, that would have meant an AMOLED bezel-less screen, IP68 certified water resistance, a headphone jack and an SD card slot. The great news is that those two magnetic dots enable them to just add in all of the above (except water resistance) by just sticking them in a mod. Unfortunately, they're depressingly slow at coming out with new mods. Solution for next year? Toss it out to the open market and let everyone make mods for you. And they'll probably want to come in at closer to $500 so they can sell more and build up their name.
