Been awhile since I played with custom roms, last was PureNexus on my Pixel XL.

I'm currently running 8.1 January official. My question is, if I flash this when the next release comes out, will be the usual dirty flash / kernel / magisk?

Or would it be a clean flash for each one?

Did a factory reset, and wiped /data (after I backed it up).

Booted to bootloader and fastboot boot twrp

adb sideloaded CarbonRom and rebooted

Working fine.

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] & CarbonRom team;

Welcome & Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frap129:
A clean flash is only required when switching between different ROMs. Updates to Carbon can be dirty flashed
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] WhiteReign:
Does any one know and sorry if this was already asked. Framework working on this ROM? If so where is that link?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
So it's been running smoothly and I've had a search around.

Does anybody notifications show up on the Ambient Display/Always On and also no notification light blinking?

I unlocked my phone and had a bunch of notifications, but none showing on the lock screen.

If I go into Notifications and choose "Show all notifications on lock screen" it shows the old school ones in a list.

Also the "modem service stopped" notification I used to get on stock when I installed sysconfig patcher, has something to do with modem stuff in the sysconfig XML files in /system/etc/sysconfig, may be worth a look into.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bram77:
The notification light doesn't seem to work, yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Is blink light enabled under notification setting?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bram77:
Yep
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Well, there goes that idea. I'm sure the dev will help you out. Who knows, maybe you'll need a 3rd party app like light manager to make it work. Just a thought is all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mrimage:
Great ROM, anyone else getting this annoying popup google play service stop
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Yes it's been reported.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Hey :) I’m on the latest build and the led blinking works for me. Have no issue there
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bram77:
Maybe it's caused by Flash kernel then, soccer I'm not using the kernel that comes with the rom...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
What do you mean with "the old school ones"?

Also, thanks for the ModemService hint, I'll take a look at that.

Works fine here (Verified with Telegram). Might really be Flash kernel, although I can't imagine a reason why it would be flash.

Also, thanks to fwhem and [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] for spending quite some time flashing builds for me and helping me with logs and calls at Verizon, we finally got VoWiFi working on Verizon yesterday. It still requires some cleanup and needs to get properly enabled (we tricked it to work with a debugging line for now) but I'm certain WFC will work in the next few days. Also thanks to [MENTION=333777]ciwrl[/MENTION] for throwing in ideas on what could be needed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
I don’t think flash kernel is the issue. As I’m running my own kernel which shares the Linux upstream and CAF patch work Nathan does really thoroughly.

that’s just a guess however...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
Oh, I mean like the original notifications on lockscreen (big, in a list) like in the notification pane. And not just the little symbols like on stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frap129:
Little symbols? That's only when you're using Ambient display, which is true of both carbon and stock
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
That's what I couldn't get working. Had Ambient Display enabled, notifications on, but nothing. It was strange.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
New build

A new build has just been uploaded. After 4 days of research, countless testbuilds and hours spent on reading code, I finally got VoWiFi working for Verizon users.

I ALSO fixed the ModemService crash, so we should be fully stable now (expect for occasionally occuring PlayStore FCs at boot it seems, for that, See if Play Services is granted all permissions in Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Services -> Permissions).

As always, let us know when encounter any issues, and till then: Happy flashing :)

BIG thanks to [MENTION=5526655]fhem[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] for spending so much time on testing and providing logs, you guys really saved me.

No thanks to [MENTION=5144438]kheltek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2968294]MikereDD[/MENTION] for never providing promised Tacos :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MikereDD:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] eyeballcrusher:
Hate to be "that one guy" but, any luck with project fi e-sim? if not I'll have Google send me a physical sim so I can get to flashing sooner
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Nope, no luck yet, but I got to admit I didn't look into it at all. Been busy with the Verizon crap (and prefered to do that as I had at least some idea of what I was doing there, plus I had testers ready already).

I know ciwrl is using Project Fi and is working on it though, so you Fi users are not forgotten ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheNightman:
Any luck getting active edge working yet? Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cwalker0906:
Still have modem crash on boot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] idkwhothatis123:
Dirty flash or clean install?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bajasur:
clean flashed latest build. Running excellent. Only thing I'm noticing is power button doesn't wake screen when flashlight toggle is enabled
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cwalker0906:
Dirty
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] leathan:
Thank you, everything works great thus far.

WOW ITS SO PURRRRRTYYYYY, I want to buy anther pixel phone just so i can look at it twice.

Bugs i notice: None really, but "Modem Service has stopped" pops up, and "Google Services App" crashed once or twice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xperiatomaja:
in the new version even giving permissions still giving error of the google services, otherwise everything works fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Leeum:
I will be switching from stock to this rom. Will download and install latest release and post results. I'm in Australia so Project Fi is not needed for & with a provider that doesn't support VoLTE on Prepaid. Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ericarthurc:
I don't know if this is happening for anyone else, but I don't get app update notifications from the playstore anymore? I am wondering if the play store services error is related to that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GBPackerFanForLife:
I did the install when phone boots it just sits on the Carbon Logo boot an looks like its loading but never does then after it just sits there the phone reboots back to twrp...Any ideas

Update I got it to boot but now Im getting Vender image an boot up where do i get the correct Vender image?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] p70shooter:
Not with details like that no. I just did the install and it's booted fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
I'm having the same situation. In my I built my own Carbon 6.1 from source which would not boot, had to go to work so I pulled out my 5x, swapped the SIM and just got back to it this AM. I saw the 1/26 build and installed that instead of 1/19 and when I hit the symptom above I assumed I had borked something with my build. Since then I've wiped and down a clean flash of 1/26 with the same result and then a clean flash of 1/19 with the same result. I've just reflasshed stock and it comes up OK. Trying to get back to the 1/19 build now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Extract it from the factory image

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Xg3nFatality:
Same thing happened to me, I had to reboot back into twrp, flash the ROM without wiping anything and then it allowed me to boot into the ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
Lot of force closed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Make sure you have the newest Vendor image on both slots, that should fix your issue.

Oh please don't provide any information, thats all Info I need anyways. /s

Seriously though: I can't help you with that kind of information...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
it's ok

i went back to stock.

tried to fix the problem myself but didn't work out
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] amandeepparmar:

Got everything installed when phone boots up I get a Modem error..besides that works great..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bills742:
Hello, great start for the initial builds!

It seems like WiFi calling has been a real bear to deal and unfortunately, I'm alerting another bug. On Verizon, if you have airplane mode on and try WiFi calling, it doesn't work and says "Turn off airplane mode to make a call". This doesn't happen on stock. I usually keep airplane mode on when I have WiFi to save on battery in poor reception areas. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nochis:
I think it's like in stock, is set preferred to mobile. There is an adb command somewhere that set to WiFi preferred. In settings you can changed but it seems is only when roaming.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bills742:
I changed the setting within the dialer options. Can you or anyone confirm that WiFi calling works with airplane mode on and what process you used to get it to work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nochis:
I'll try it, but let me find the adb command. Like I said before is like stock. But let me verify it with the command.

Edit: didn't work with the command. Probably only works when roaming. That's what it's on settings preferred WiFi but only roaming.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Fascinating! This worked, any idea why this release needs both slots? Just curious, figuring the more I know the more I may be able to help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] THEbigSWEEN:
I believe it's likely due to the dual partitions and when you flash the ROM it's like taking an OTA zip and will flash to your other/inactive slot. You likely had the December build/vendor on your other slot, so when it flashed to that slot it didn't match up with the January/current vendor. That's why some are recommending that you just flash the most current stock build to both slots before flashing a custom ROM to try an minimize issues such as the vendor mismatch. Dual partitions are nice for people who stay completely stock, but for devs and everyone else who likes to tinker with their device, they're pretty much just a huge pain in the ass :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Colday96:
Will there be unified builds for the pixel 2 and pixel 2 XL?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
See below.

Perfectly explained, couldn't do better on my own.

Although, I don't consider Dual Partitions pain in the ass. It's new and different, and surely a bit complicated yes. But it has a LOT of potential, and once we find ways to take advantage of that and get used to it, I think its a great feature. Same with things like AVB 2.0 and verity.

Not in the foreseeable future. There weren't even unified builds for marlin and sailfish, and they were, other than taimen and walleye, literally the same phone with a bigger screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
So is your idea on DUI still a no go?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drdrewdown:
another exclamation of love for the DUI :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
anyone on fi? can't active it.

i do get data and voice but the message will not go away
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
I'm on fi and doing fine, do you have a physical SIM or a eSIM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
physical

and it kept asking me to activate it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] THEbigSWEEN:
Why thank you. What all advantages could we see from the dual partitions other than the obvious eventual dual boot/multi-ROM type setup? Not really familiar with AVB and verity other than it had something to do with the "big bad scary message" that would pop up on boot on earlier versions of Magisk :p

I had this issue when I first flashed the ROM too. I had to restore my backup of the stock ROM then put the physical sim in and activate it with the Fi app. Once I did that I was able to restore my Carbon backup and everything was kosher.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] quinejh:
What I did was go into apps cleared data and cache from project fi. Also hangouts rebooted and did it one more time after that everything worked perfect for fi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
Thanks will try that
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tmoore3496:
Anyone have a working download link to latest rom , thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QAM:
Hola

What's wrong with the link that is provided in the OP? Is it not working for you? I just downloaded the latest release to test and it downloads without issues. :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
So I've got to humble myself here and ask for advice. I'm trying to set up my own build environment so that I can start contributing here. I seem to have a clean build but it is significantly smaller than what I expected. The three builds out for download now range from 676MB to 712MB, the build I got today is only 391MB. I'm using a system that I currently have building out Lineage 14.1 for my 5x today so I think it's more my unfamiliarity with the Carbon approach. The steps I took to get to this point were:

mkdir -p android/carbon
cd android/carbon/
repo init -u https://github.com/CarbonROM/android.git -b cr-6.1 && repo sync -f
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch # I selected 86. carbon_taimen-user
make carbon -j4

Any clues where I've gone astray?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tmoore3496:
Yeah it says site can't be reached or something to that effect!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] QAM:
Hola

Hmm I don't know what to say. It's working fine and I tested it against 2 different internet connections on 2 different computers. Can you test and see if you can access it from your phone or from your computer? I can upload it somewhere else, but I don't know if the OP would want us to share it outside of their site. Hey [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] can we share it?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] efan0388:
I believe it's because the op includes gapps in his build. If you add the gapps inline with your build it would be closer to 700mb.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Sounds like you forgot the vendor/Google repo (for device binaries) and the gapps.

You know that there is a mirror linked in the OP, right?

That's two completely independent Servers (which both should be up and working), so that sounds more like a you issue :P

Oh sure, that's fine. But thanks for asking :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tmoore3496:
Hey which build date should I download, after I got back to WiFi it allowed me to download again lol. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Golf c:
Thats been happening to me too. I can only download from wifi, not on cell network. Strange.

Build from 1-28-18 is the latest.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Similar situation here, I have two wireless networks, one for family one for work. Work router is connected via 5GHz to my primary router and then 2.4GHz to the pixel. Downloads over that config and cellular gave an ETA of >1hour then failed after ~20 Mb. Home wireless is hardwired to main router and made the download in under 15 minutes... FWIW work network is flawless for other functions. No clue what underlies this, apologies for being slightly OT.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

You are correct Sir. I've got the address for the gapps repo but have not found a HowTo, is it as simple as cloning that repo into the carbon build directory?

Sorry to be a such newb, I wouldn't bother you guys (or so blatantly expose my ignorance on this issue...) if I didn't think I could be somewhat useful. RTFM would be fine as long as there's a URL to the FM ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tmoore3496:
I'm on the latest build and it appears now playing isn't working, any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
I think I broke that with one of the permission tests, looking at it ASAP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tmoore3496:
This is a really good rom, thanks for your hard work!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ChoznJuan:
Now Playing is working for me in 1/26 build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Should only be an issue with the 28 build. I took them down for now and will build a new one with the fixes asap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xxxtncxxx:
I see 1/28 build was removed, is it just because now playing was broken, or are there other issues and you suggest going back to 1/26. I have not had much free time since update and really have only been using the basics and have not had any major issues. Keep up the great work either way!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jon.StatiK:
What are the flashing instructions coming from RomAur? Not sure if I need to wipe system or just leave it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
From the OP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jon.StatiK:
I read it and thank you for the reply. Just wanted to 100% considering I searched for RomAur and had zero results. Technically I'm on a stock based rom and I wasn't sure if it would be considered stock or still modified/custom. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
I would just dirty flash the factory image to your active slot just to be sure, or restore your stock backup :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drdrewdown:
I really doubt you need to build gapps, just might take a bit of jumping thru hoops flashing them (prob require a recovery reboot between rom+)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Other than now Playing being broken the 28 build actually contained some additional fixed for GApps, so if you don't care about now Playing, stay on the 28 build.

Nope. He HAS to building Gapps, as AVB and verity don't allow flashing any GApps with our current configuration. We yet need to figure out a smarter way to handle that without killing too many security features, cause we really want to take advantage of the new things in the future.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Confirmation appreciated, any pointers to a HowTo or FAQ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
New build

CARBON-CR-6.1-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-taimen-20180131-1729 has been uploaded to both servers.

Now Playing is working again, plus the VoLTE/VoWiFi configs got adjusted. Unfortunally that list is slightly outdated (its from the Pixel 1 Nougat release), but its the best you can get at the moment. I already added Rogers and Fido WiFi calling. If your provider Officially supports VoLTE or VoWiFi but the switches dont appear on Carbon, please let me know what provider you use, what is expected to be working and your providers MCC and MNC (You can see that in the APN config).

Additionally, this build contains Notification Tickers, the HeadsUp tile (to disable HeadsUp if wanted), 3 Finger screenshot and Lockscreen charge information, and the Google Service related forcecloses are fixed.

As always, if there is anything else you come across, please first blame [MENTION=5284595]adinkwok[/MENTION] (because really thats the only solution), then post here so we can fix it.

Happy Flashing
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
still getting moderm fc and fi will not activate even after after i cleared both hangout and fi app

it's fine i guess. this rom is not for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Thats impressive, considering there is no ModemService anymore. https://paste.myself5.de/F1mgEatSk0

I can't test Fi unfortunately, so I have no ways of testing or "fixing" but its quite strange that you are still the only one with that issue whereas everyone else says its working with the physical sim after activating on Stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Pretty strange, considering ModemService is not even existent in that build anymore https://paste.myself5.de/1nSdrM5Smr

I have no ways to test Fi, but you are the only person having issues here (that includes other issues nobody reported) and everyone else on Fi says its working fine with physical SIM cards that were activated on stock, so I honestly think there is an user error somewhere.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ericarthurc:
[MENTION=5051294]frap129[/MENTION] So here are two pictures of whats going on; I currently have no sim card in the device; its the e-sim only. Back with the Nexus 6p that issue with the weird text after text messages would always happen before I activated project fi and was using the T-mobile band only. The Project Fi app wont activate for me though; I will grab my sim later (at work right now) and see what happens.

I can receive calls and texts though :D
