OP still uses the device tree from them and syncs with it. Normally I think OP makes a few kernel changes and maybe a few other under the hood stuff.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] infamousvincci:
And thats exactly what im asking. Those "few" changes.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
No i don't. I had to customize my DU.

DU's device tree, kernel, and vendor is similar to mine. But it isn't mine nor will it ever be mine. This was shown when Taimen came out on DU and it had problems unlike mine.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
You do have it correct. As of now i haven't had to change DU ROM. I update them but all i am doing is working under the hood on our device.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fix-this!:
ill be trying this soon. thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Why is the 02/02 build so much smaller? Still includes gapps right?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ajrty33:
Are you committing these bug fixes to gerrit?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
It does. I removed a lot of gapps to make sure the build works.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
No, the code that is there works perfectly. Its the workarounds that are needed to make it a daily driver.

Thus the homebrews
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Installed 02/02 build and testing more.... seems the biggest issue standing out is the Play store installing apps. It seems like it gives me one app it'll install, and after that they're all download pending. They'll install, but I have to queue up a bunch of apps to install (download pending), restart, and they install once booted back up. Toggling wifi didn't work for me.

Camera works.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Did you do the fix on the main page?

When you force stop play store?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Did you try the fix on the main page?

Where you force stop Playstore
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Didn't see you updated the OP... yes that worked thanks. I tried clearing play store cache & data and that didn't help, but a simple FC did, crazy. But good to get it working.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
That problem had me up late last night. I was hoping I figured out the fix and got scared after reading your post. Glad to see things working and please keep me posted with any know bugs
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dakotah2468:
This will work with project fi right?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I don't know if anyone has tried yet.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dakotah2468:
I guess I'll be the guinea pig tommorow when I get up.

is there still AICP today?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] iluvamk:
AICP?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] morpheus620:
Yes. AICP [emoji6]

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Long story short, if it is a simple build yes. If not then we'll have it Monday night.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Roms running great. No issues. By my estimation the battery is at least as good as stock if not better.

Camera is decent, but I've been looking for alternatives. Can't seem to get Camera NX to work. Tried 7.2 & 7.3

Would love to see AICP, good luck with that.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ashray_Vk:
Managed to install fine! Just a quick uggestions :

=- Can you get Google camera to work with the ROM and take portat mode photos wihtout requiring a face in between ? I think Carbon rom in the google pixel 2 XL.

Thanks!

Ash
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I've tried, get FC's. Right now most of my time is on making all functions work, then port to my rom of choice, then bring back a squeeze action.

But i do want google camera with hdr+, trust me:)
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I got squeeze to turn off the ringer when someone calls. I am also trying to bring over a few more things from stock to our phone.

I haven't looked at DU to tell you what they have done. But all i am doing is making sure our phone is fast and efficient. My device tree is crazy looking right now so it is kinda hard to tell you what i have in or out for changes. A lot of trial and error with what is needed or what is just extra.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] infamousvincci:
Thanks Jacob for clarifying. Nd i appreciate your hard work.

What's up bud? No updates lately??? Do you have a git that I can look at? I'd like to look at the device files you've been using to make these builds. I might try compiling a build my self if you have them handy. Are you just using the devices files from whatever ROM repo you were compiling from?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
Sent you pm
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] RobbieL811:
Hey bud! Thanks for the reply, and for the PM!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jorgen2009:
I'm interested in that as well. I have no problem compiling lineage with the default repos, but they are stuck at boot animation when installed
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Slomies:
Can I be apart of this as well? I'd be interested in trying to compiling DU.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
That's BS DU dropped development for the Walleye
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
Yup, super BS. Teams used to always support the latest Google devices. Things have changed with the a/b partian and security but it's possible since the guys here are doing it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] redsmith:
What pisses me off the most is that they are still supporting Taimen (Pixel 2 XL). We have practically the same device.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Hopefully those guys here will, once this build is uploaded. My development will end due to no time to continue on development.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
Well that's a shame, Surrey to see you go but very thankful for what you have done for the community
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I'm not going anywhere. I just won't have time.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ahoslc:
Yes thank you so much for getting us the ability to run a custom Rom on our phone !
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
It wasn't me. You need to thank the men over at LOS. They did all the leg work! Then the boys over at Carbon for all of their development and the man Nathan Chancellor.

They did it all. I just kept tinkering and acted like a Phone Maintainer.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ahoslc:
What happened was the guy building for Pixel 2 got a XL instead so can't blame them to much.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
That's what he said. I don't think he ever had one. That's why the original build showed Carbon, not DU lol

He just took someone else's work and made it Official
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] infamousvincci:
Dammit. U cant fork their taimen anymore?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tkacer:
Thanks - totally missed that - hopefully it will be maintained!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Yeah, I meant to post this a while back. Been running his build for the last few weeks and it's the reason I quit trying to compile it myself. Thankfully someone more capable stepped up lol. The only thing I personally miss over stock is the better camera- amazing the difference the software makes. Anyone finds a good alternative camera?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
Download Google camera from apkmirror, freeze or uninstall aosp camera. Works perfect for me
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Nice thanks man, i didn't think that would work on a custom rom. I thought I was condemned to 2014 quality photos.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
No worries, download the latest one for our device, works just like stk rom
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Just a heads up. This thread may get shut down or I will have to remove DU.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JCBiznatch:
I honestly was wondering when that would happen. DU is completely against XDA for some reason. Last year another guy posted the build and it was closed for the Pixel. Unfortunately.

But, hopefully you can just PM me the link after you finish? Lol
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] tkacer:
Any work-around for the vendor.img mismatch pop-up??
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
I don't think so. You can try flashing March vendor but I don't think that fixes it. It doesn't bother me since it has no bearing on functionality. Feel sorry for all the ocd types lol.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fkfmfz:
I seen a commit from carbon to fix that vendor mismatch popup on boot, tonight I'm going to build a update for aicp and see if it fixes it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fkfmfz:
Ok that commit worked, vendor img matches and no popup.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I'm not an official rom nor am I mirror their builds. As far as I am concerned. I'm building a rom that source is public(:

Thus another reason why I don't maintain. I can edit roms to make out device work
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Colday96:
Perfect! Are you going to release it?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JCBiznatch:

Use twrp

Factory reset, flash rom, flash twrp zip, reboot
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
You need to talk to the top 3. Hector, Davor, or SemDoc. They are good people. Hector is the reason I make my own builds. Davor and I both started on the same phone and had no clue what we were doing. Then SemDoc took us under his wing and taught us.

If you're using their device tree and rom. You owe it to them to ask permission to post it up. You got caught in the cross fire because Hector's Taimen work got jacked and reposted.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LordM:
Then maybe post it here on XDA for getting more ppl. to use it and to better track bugs, features and releases?!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fkfmfz:
I was told by davor I could share it, no big deal. I already build six rom for it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chronzy:
Yeah Semdoc was very helpful when I was trying to compile. Strange they'd have an issue from just using their source.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
I think he posted it on AICP G+. Which is a no no when it's unofficial.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JCBiznatch:
This latest DU unofficial release is pretty stable. Once in awhile I will get a force close on a couple of applications, but other than that it's been pretty stable.

I see that you're a junior member. Just a little FYI read up on the Pixel 2. It's not the same flashing instructions as other phones.

Hope that helps! :)
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
A little update.

I was able to compile my final DU build. The bad thing is it must be dirty flashed. This said I won't release it.

I was able to make 5 attempts last weekend. Even this put a strain on my family life since my time is limited now.

I'm sorry everyone, I'm hoping when the next security update comes out, I'll go back and restart from the beginning.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ivixmax:
Dirty flashed? I donr understand what happened to you mate.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:

Something got committed on DU's end I didn't see that my device tree is reliable on.

I dirty flashed for sh!ts and giggles and found it worked.

Now I'm stuck wondering why

Hey guys, new to this forum but my bro just bought a P2 so I'm gonna try and unlock, root and install one of these roms this weekend. From what I've read it seems like DU is the popular vote and most recent build so I'm trying to go with that but I'm having trouble downloading it from Google. It's there another link or maybe I should try it from a desktop?

Thanks for all your work on this btw! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JCBiznatch:
Me too! Come on man!:)

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

You'll have to download from the OP section in this forum post. The links on DU's website have been removed because they no longer officially support the Pixel 2, just the Pixel 2XL. Sad But true.

As far as flashing, do your homework. This isn't the same way of doing things anymore. Best of luck bro!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Pete02:
Thx, I wasn't asking for instructions on rooting or flashing although I see how you could've interpreted that way. I have subscribed to all the topics I need for that, did my homework. ;) The link I was clicking was from the OP so I guess I'll try it from a desktop instead.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JCBiznatch:

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] razrlover:
Depending on rom, and security patch it's very similar. Look first at installing root and twrp via guides section. Then there is a link to latest OP bills in OP
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TCUofficial:
Hey man, just installed this on my Pixel 2. Thanks for the great work! DU is working perfectly. I'll be following your work at Google Plus for sure, good luck with RR!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jtadak:
I hate to be that guy, and I am pretty sure I know the answer but I'm guessing these roms aren't carrier specific? I have searched and haven't seen any firm answers. You'll have to forgive me, I've been out of the loop for a while using these horrible locked up devices with no root available. I have the Verizon pixel 2 (non XL). I know I have to unlock the bootloader first then root with majisk then recovery so on.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LordM:
With Verizon there is only a little chance to unlock the bootloader. There is a guide somewhere here.

But if you get the bootloader unlocked, first install TWRP, then your ROM and then Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jtadak:
Ya I saw the guide and I was going to give it a go. I got the smaller pixel 2 so I could unlock the bootloader ?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] JRJ442:
Hopefully it's still on the January security patch. Otherwise you won't be able to unlock it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jtadak:
Ya I'm seeing that. It's on one of the latest build numbers and I reading that you can't revert back so I'm toast ?
