Okay so I figured out some more stuff regarding Project Fi with this rom. The reason I was able to kinda use the e-sim (project fi app wouldn't active though) was because I had it activated with I was on the stock rom and I did a semi-dirty flash, it some how carried over those settings. I just did a clean factory image wipe then installed this rom. When I booted in it prompted me to install a sim card, I didn't just yet. At that moment there was no service; I downloaded the project fi app and opened it. It said account only, and wouldn't activate. I just put my sim in a project fi activated with my phone number. So this rom doesn't support the e-sim yet; and you need a sim card to use project Fi. The only reason I was able to kinda use it was due to a dirty flash.

Hola

WOAHH!! Shout out to Team Carbon!!!! Awesome work throughout the years. Thank you so much!

One follow up question please, does your ROM support VoLTE and VoWiFI (Wi-Fi Calling) functionality. If not, is it something on the radar?

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blaze9090:
First of all thanks a ton for your work!

There are still some little issues:

-Restore device from cloud does not restore settings for Apps.

-on stock kernel you cannot block wakelocks with exkm.

-ambient display does show the time but no messages like WhatsApp icon.

-google autofill for passwords seems not to work

I'm sure these things will be fixed soon! Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Both should work just fine. I'm basing that knowledge on some friends that tested it though, because in the "highly technological advanced" Germany there is no such thing as VoWiFi, and VoLTE is not a thing on most providers or in my case, disabled on MultiSIM contracts (F* You for that, Vodafone.de).

[MENTION=5369436]Ericarthurc[/MENTION] the eSIM thing requires a setup App IIRC, I'll see if we can add that in the next release. Sadly I can't test that either (for the same reason as above, I'm starting to see an ongoing theme here) so I'd be happy if you can keep an eye on the next builds, TIA :)

1) I don't think that ever was a thing, although if it was, it would be a GApps issue, so nothing we can fix.

2) Um yeah. thats why it's stock. If you want that kind of things, EX should work fine on Carbon.

3) Go to Apps and Notifications -> Notifications -> On the lockscreen choose some option and then choose the "show all notification content" one again, that seems to be a bug in AOSP, WIP. After that it works fine here with Telegram, WhatsApp and Slack.

4) Works fine here, um did you enable it?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] D-m-x:
Agreed on that part lol (Special shoutout to O2 Germany also). Nice work btw for getting it to work, Carbon really did make a huge Comeback last year and is continuing strong!

Message when opening Google Dialer app. Everything seems to work though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
Mhhh i wiped everything via twrp and tried to flash this rom via twrp.

it took some minutes. when it finished, i used to reboot to system but twrp said there is no os installed on my device lol

I flashed like i ever flashed a rom before in twrp.

any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Did you wipe system, data and dalvik? Roms are packaged as a OTA zip. They will switch slots. If you wiped the system partition, then you will get that message. The rom will boot in the other slot you didn't wipe.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ericarthurc:
Its the new a/b partition that messes everything up.

Do this:

Download the latest factory image for Pixel 2 xl from the factory image website

Boot phone to bootloader and run the flash-all.bat (this will restore phone to stock)

After it finishes it will reboot your phone, hold down the volume down button (don't let it boot into the os, reboot if it does)

Then using fastboot drivers; fastboot boot the twrp img (there are directions on how to do this)

When inside twrp use the adb sideload tool (or a flashdrive) to flash the carbon Rom and then flash the twrp zip file (twrp in now installed inside the system partition, so make sure to flash twrp after installing a rom)

Reboot, and it will boot into carbon just fine
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
I did flash the factory image before

So u say its not possible to put the rom zip on my storage,and flash it in permanently twrp?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Of course it is. No computer required.

Wipe system, dalvik and data.

Flash rom zip and Twrp installer zip. Reboot and ignore the no OS installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Clean or dirty flash....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
going to try the latest version now. report back once boot up

yeah, i don't think your rom likes me very much LOL

edit: Latest version no longer have FC

but Fi is still not activate

clean always.

I'm getting modem error pop up often. Any ideas how to fix it ? It was even showing when I was driving and had Google maps running.

Flash the new build from today.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dredq:
Is the Esim working with the new version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Just to confirm so I don't have any issues, if updating from carbon while using flash kernel the process should go: Wipe system/cache, flash carbon, flash kernel, twrp and then magisk...right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
I don't think that's going to work out very well. Don't think this build can be dirty flashed with different Gapps. It wouldn't restore my data backup. Someone else please confirm?

If I was dirty flashing,

Wipe dalvik and system (system not necessary) It won't hurt

Flash rom and Twrp installer zip

Reboot recovery (to switch slots)

Flash Flash kernel and Magisk.

Good luck and have a backup

Google play store is refusing to download apps for me anyone else experience this?

Play store is refusing to download apps on the new build. Anyone else experiencing this? (Clean flash)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Yes, Google restore is working and restores system settings and all my backups. Except the play store will download 4 or 5 apps and then just sit there. I reboot and it installs 4 or 5 more apps and sits. Even tried installing manually to no avail. Doesn't seem to want to dirty flash either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonesin:
Clean flash and I am experiencing play store refusing to install any apps. they just sit on pending. Is anyone else experiencing this. (on wifi) tried clearing cache, tried fresh flash again, no dice?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

I am trying a dirty flash now after running deuces script and doing a clean install of 1/26 and then restoring some apps. will update.

update: dirty flash worked.

update2: After a dirty flash I can only install apps after a reboot. i.e. I attempt to download an app and it will sit on pending until reboot. This seams like a gapps/play services issue. Some process (a few minutes after boot) causes all downloads from playstore to break.

hey [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] [MENTION=5051294]frap129[/MENTION] [MENTION=5284595]adinkwok[/MENTION]

Just a Little heads up. I see you have included the workqueue/kthread commits from sultanxda here

https://github.com/CarbonROM/androi...=4c49f64393c527d75b579621a949c5b7465ea039+384

These commits cause lagginess in twrp when not booted via fastboot but installed via the zip installer. (probably because we no longer have a dedicated Partition for recovery)

if you already know about it you can ignore me :) it seemed to be totally fine when the actual OS is booted, I reverted the commits on my kernel for now.

wish you all a happy day. Thank you for the Rom :) :highfive:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Thanks for the heads up. I personally flash [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] 's kernel right after booting system so I don't really have time to notice anything. We'll get this sorted out after further confirmation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonesin:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] the latest build is broken, users cannot download apps from the play store after attempting to restore, or on a clean setup(no restore)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
[MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] and I also confirmed during private testing that these resulted in abnormal little cluster frequency usage and power consumption, which is why they never made it into a final release. EAS manages task placement just fine, no need to add commits that interrupt or disrupt that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Xg3nFatality:
I was going insane over this issue and assumed it was just me. I was finally able to get the apps to download after disabling the playstore and then enabling it again. After apps installed I then ran into the issue of apps not syncing or updating. Decided it was too much of a headache to deal with at the time and reverted back to 1/26 build. No issues since going back
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
I had similar app downloading issues on a clean flash. I'm assuming that it's related to opengapps for now.

If someone gets a chance to log that then that would be awesome because I can't afford a clean flash at the moment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Interesting issue, after flashing the 1/31 build I was no longer able to dial out using project fi. Outgoing calls get the word Calling... but no connection is made, no ringing. In coming calls worked fine as did everything else. I tried clearing cache on the phone app, rebooting, flashing back down to the 1/26 build and using the dial code to reset bad activation *#*#34963#*#*. I'm out of time to tinker and am going to swap my SIM to my backup phone for work tomorrow. To be clear I'm not positive it was the 1/31 build, could just be coincidence, just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I'll post a followup when I've had time to figure this out.

Edit: A full wipe seems to have fixed this. Seems like some bits got crossed. Root cause still a guess, something in the update process? random bit flip? not sure. Anyway, wiped on 1/26, all was well, upgraded to 1/31 again, still able to make calls. Not something inherent in the build though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QAM:
Hola

I wanted to chime in with my experience with the latest Jan 31st built:

1. Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) and VoLTE is working ok. I am on the Rogers / Fido (i.e. Canadian telco) network. This was a must have for me to make this ROM a daily driver setup. THANK YOU Team Carbon!

2. As others have mentioned there are issues with getting Google Play to work properly in terms of downloading / updating apps. The only good workaround I see that works ok (and mentioned above) is disabling the Google Play app and then re-enabling it again. It's a pain to deal with but not a deal-breaker for me :).

3. After installing ROM, I installed ElementalX kernel. As mentioned a few pages back or so, make sure you delete the dtbo.img file from the kernel installer file before flashing it.

4. ROM is fast, and most importantly for me very stable!

Great work [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and another great release from Team Carbon!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
That actually seems to be the best bet to do for now. I've been talking to some people, and the conclusion was that this appears to be a Google related issue ( [MENTION=5144438]kheltek[/MENTION] confirmed it happens on stock too). The older builds probably had an older apps store which is why it didn't happen there. I'll keep an eye on this, but for now the best seems to be to follow your suggestion, as reports suggested that the thats a one-time issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kheltek:
And there's your taco :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Leeum:
Great Rom and am loving it at the moment. Battery life seems fine. I don't really get that whole apps not updating or downloading issue that much. It will stay on Downloading but if i just cancel the download and try again it works for me. Not sure if it's because i am in Australia or whatever but nice work devs. Hopefully soon yous can implement more customisations in the Fibers settings :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] browniegirl:
Really digging the rom so far, with the play store for me I have to restart my phone every two apps. Disabling play store didn't work for me, oh well lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] quinejh:
I wiped cache and data in play store after my install and haven't had a issue since. In did however dirty flash. But this thing is running very smooth
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonesin:
We have already confirmed that a dirty flash will prevent the issue. But on a clean flash play store is broken.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jimmycrackcorn1:
So in the OP it states to make sure you are on stock 8.1. What if i am on Android Beta Developer Preview 8.1? I'm under the impression you can't roll backwards from that, is that still true or would flashing Carbon 8.1 not be considered backwards?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bajasur:
You should flash January Security and then carbon
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dadoc04:

Following the installation hints for me it install in slot_b...in slot_a I have stock. Is it necessary to flash also in slot_a? Does custom kernels work even having Carbon in slot_b? Thanks for the support.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Doesn't really matter what slot your on. As long as your on stock 8.1 January update before you begin. Apparently your active slot is _a, no need to flash the rom to _b. Flash kernel should work fine. However, I would boot up, and setup before flashing a new kernel. The rom developers are petty good kernel Devs in their own right. So give it a try ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] patt2k:
Recently I updated to 1/26 . After 2 days I realized I had no root and TWRP. Had to reflash all of it and magisk. Is there anyway to preserve all of it when updating rom?. Thanks !
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] p70shooter:
Short answer no.

Long answer, flash rom and twrp installer, reboot then reboot to twrp and flash magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] patt2k:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Count on it taking a while yet, the ROM and build env are both young and, I would imagine, finncky.

Also remember it's poor form to ask for ETAs. The devs mostly have day jobs and families so, out of respect, we just practice patience on such things.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frap129:
I've made our Now Playing vendor files public, you can find them at https://github.com/frap129/vendor_ambientmusic.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frap129:
Both [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and I would be willing to help, as all of the carbon changes are mostly done due to the commonized wahoo tree and kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Noted 2 oddities that I'll share and research if [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] or anyone else wants more info or has suggestions on further troubleshooting.

I'm noting that charging on my unit does not stop when the battery reaches 100%, I've added in Battery Charge Limit as I did on other phones (like my N5x which did stop when full) and the issue is worked around. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm on ProjectFi and, when I the phone shifts to Sprint (whether because of a normal shift when I move out of range of a T-Mobile tower or when I force the switch with *#*#34777#*#*, the SprintDM kicks in with a message that it is configuring my mobile network and no calls can be connected while it is active. It will run for literally hours if I let it. Once I kill SprintDM calls go through on the Sprint Network normally. I can roll back to T-Mobile with no issue and there don't seem to be any US Cellular towers for me to try. This only happens when rolling over to Sprint. Any Fi users seeing this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:

I moved the CARBON-CR-6.1-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-taimen-20180206-2124 build to the public dir, that includes the AT&T VoLTE stuff. It also includes configs to enable VoWiFi on AT&T, so let me know if that works please.

It also includes the February ASB patches, so its probably intresting to everyone else too :)

For now you can just pull down the notification shade, expand the notification for SprintDM and hit cancel. At least for me that lets me make calls on Sprint and the phone will roll back to T-Mobile of its own accord.

Just upgrade to February build so far so good except I get the Wrong vendor at boot..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Thats probably because custom roms switch slots like an OTA. Now you're in the the other slot with the January update. You can flash the vendor in Twrp or fastboot. Or you can dirty flash the rom again and end up on the February update you flashed. I recommend flashing both slots with the monthly security update. So you never have to worry. Till next month. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GBPackerFanForLife:

You already flashed it on your inactive slot. You just have to flash it on your current slot. Download the factory image and extract the contents. There will be another zip inside that. Extract that zip and you will find all the images for our phone.
