[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
I tend to feel the same way about the Pixel line. I flashed a few ROMs on the original XL but stability and performance was never quite up to par with stock. I gave up and have been using stock for about about 10 months now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] QAM:
Hola

Indeed do I miss my flashing. I have a OP5 that I will be selling soon since I have received my P2XL. As many have mentioned the OnePlus series of phones have become what the original Nexus line was in terms of community affordability and development.

If I can get Pure Nexus on my P2XL then it would be sufficient for me in all honesty, provides the stability and yet extending the functionality and customizations we all crave for. I understand that Nate‏ [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] is caught up with some personal stuff and I'm not sure how or if any new development is in the works. This is one of the absolute best custom ROMs one could use. But us users can only wait and see...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skw5115:
This sounds like some sort of AA Thread lol. I also miss flashing. The need for custom ROMS is definitely dwindling though. I am usually okay with a custom kernel and substratum at this point
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matt1313:
Stock rooted works fine for me. I do miss the following:

Back to kill app

Volume button to change track

Everything else I'm able to do to my liking.

Adaway works

Magisk works

Substrate works

And little other stock customizations work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
This is the longest I've had any Android device without routing, and I miss only one thing, back to kill.

AdGuard works perfectly, and I'm about to try Substratum, just need to see how to do it.

Sorry all, I have been using custom roms for a long time, I really don't know what goes into making one, so I apologize for my ignorance. I would think that by now there would be some custom roms for this device. Is it normal to take this amount of time to get a Google phone custom roms?thx in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Fraught:
I'm wondering this as well. I thought it was because of the new display ratio, but those have been out for a while now, AND I was looking around the OP5T forums (because I just got one), and even that has some ROMs posted (though they're kinda alpha-ish), and it came out like a month later. I didn't see a single Pixel 2 XL ROM (and I was so confused I thought I was just somehow missing something).

Google changed A LOT with Oreo. IIRC there is a LOT of code that needs to be gone through. It will come, but will take a bit
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Unfortunately, I think the lack of ROMs comes down to 2 big reasons...

1) Price of the Pixel phones. Previously, the Nexus line up was more affordable but lacked some of the bells and whistles. These days the Pixel phones pack all the latest features/specs and the price has been increased accordingly. Dropping $850+ for a phone each year takes significantly more consideration than dropping $450 on one. Because of this, less people are willing/able to shell out the cash for them. ROM developers are no exception.

2) The stock ROM is much more feature packed than it used to be. People used to flash custom ROMs to be able to change quick tiles, adjust display color settings, disable the nav bar/status bar, change icon/text sizes, etc. Now this can all be done on the stock ROM and a custom launcher. So the desire for custom ROMs has dwindled quite a bit, as well.

I believe that it's for these two reasons that we aren't seeing ROM development spike as quickly with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL as we did with previous phones. Don't get me wrong, we will see custom ROMs show up and kernels will continue to be developed. However, it will take more time for ROMs to start showing up and the ROM development sub-forum for this phone will not be packed with ROM options like it was in previous Nexus phones or OnePlus phones.

Oh custom ROMs where art thou and why have you forsaken me?

It has been 3 years since my last custom ROM flash
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You forgot to state your name first :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zelendel:
The biggest issue for roms is the dual partitions. Many developers decided not to work on the pixel after they made roms for the first one and now avoid all devices with the A/B partitions.

There will still be a few. But not nearly as many as other devices like say the one plus devices.

Well....

I'm back to being bored.....

Just upgraded to 8.1, Flash kernel 2.0.0, latest Magisk, and TWRP .....

Since I'm not really interested in the DPs, I'm at a dead end for now.

Even thought about clean flashing everything (leaving that -w in flash-all.bat) and starting fresh just to have something to do...

Then I thought: I AM NOT THAT BORED YET :p

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slaydog:
Yeah, it's not Oreo. The Nexus 6P has had custom Oreo ROMs for ever...

It's definitely the hardware, and I'm not digging it. I assumed that the Pixel phones were the same as the Nexus line as far as development.

I ruled out a lot of phones before getting this one because of lack of development, and now look where I am, lol

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] emigre:
Hi everyone,

I've been searching for a wired method to transfer large files between my Mac (OS10.12) and S8. Yes we've all heard of Android File Transfer, Handshaker and Samsung Smart Switch. Plus a couple other wireless methods like AirDroid, etc.

I'm particularly looking for a way that allows us to browse/move/delete files intuitively (breadcrumbs, easy copy/paste, etc). The main problem with all other wired method mentioned above are its non-intuitive UI and UX, unstable (sometimes it doesn't detect or crash in between transfers) — basically, they're not what we'd expect from plug and play devices.

Lets forget wireless transfers for now :)

So the search continues. I appreciate any workaround that any of you may have. Hopefully this short thread will provide help to others who are looking for the same solution as I am.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] uddhav.reen:
SideSync works great for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] emigre:
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and while it works in transferring files, it's very crude and does not give a nice 'Finder View'. I can say it's similar to Android File Transfer.

I would really like something like Handshaker (UI and UX wise), but I'm quite hesitant to use Handshaker because of the negative reviews it receives.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pascua28:
Hello! So I've been trying to Kexec-Hardboot another custom kernel. I'm using Agni Kernel which has Kexec-Hardboot implemented. I patched the guest kernel to copy atags to be able to make it a guest kernel. Everytime I try to execute the guest kernel, the phone turns off for about 30 seconds and then boots to the ptevious kernel.

kexec --load-hardboot zImage --initrd=ramdisk --mem-min=0x44000000 --command-line=" androidboot.selinux=permissive buildvariant=userdebug"

kexec -e

Tried different --mem-min values but still the same. Tried cat'ing /proc/cmdline for --command-line. I even Tried recompiling Agni and enabling ram_console and copy atags. Still the same. If anyone could please help me here. Thanks

EDIT: Managed to implement kexec on TWRP but still the same. last_kmsg shows no trace of kexec

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jantonio23:
Hi guys,

I just recently bought a Huawei Mate 9 and I'm loving this unit so far. I upgraded its OS to Oreo via OTA since this unit is not rooted.

After testing, I noticed that my Poweramp's headset remote control (volume up/down to skip track) doesn't work. I researched a bit and found that there should be a "Smart Headset" option in the setting that I can configure to do the same job. Weird enough, I cannot find it anywhere in the settings.

I'm using EMUI v8.0 with build number MHA-L29 8.0.0.321. Can anyone please assist this poor soul? I just want to enable the music skip track using the volume of my headset. I hope this is possible without rooting the phone.

Thank you very much everyone!

Hey everyone!

What is CopyClip?

CopyClip is an easy-to-use clipboard manager that doesn't require you to leave your app that is currently open. It automatically saves and intercepts any copy you make. You can quickly access your clipboard manager by clicking the dropdown notification in any app. The clipboard overlays the currently open app allowing you to quickly access recent and pinned items and return to your app!

This was designed for a Software Engineering class project - I vlogged most of the experience on my channel on Youtube if you want to check out the progress!

1. if you activate Always on screen, you might end up with a buggy screen after you lock your device. A reboot solves it until you lock it again.

2. Private mode does not work. Although it asks for a pattern/PIN, you cannot turn it on afterwards.

3. Iris Scanner doesn't work.

4. Samsung Pay will obviously not work since you have a rooted device and Knox has been tripped

I can tell you that, after 2 months of official 7.0.0 on this phone, this ROM is heaven for me. I does not lag, everything opens as expected, except the things i mentioned above, the camera does its job, though i haven't recorded a video yet, but the pictures and flash are not crashing the software.

And yes, i would remove features that cannot be used in this phone. They are misleading and useless without their respective hardware.

I don't have a problem with the battery, then again i did not change the kernel. I lack the knowledge on how to set it up properly. But i can argue that battery life on this ROM allows me to use the phone for one full day (on/off) instead of a few hours on stock.

Love this rom

I've been using this rom for 2weeks. It's fast, stable and has everything I need. After a week of use I changed battery to s7edge. Tried to get information how to change the capacity in the kernel, but without pc it's impossible. So maybe you could compile a version of kernel, for users with s7edge battery, and only thing changed in it, capacity from 2550mah, to 3600mah. That would be just great! And thanks for this great rom!!

920I and 920F are similar and ROMs meant for 920F work flawlessly on 920I, but this one won't flash.

EDIT: there is no assert line in the updater script at all. I think the dev of the rom can have the solution to it.
