Loving the rom so far!

I have noticed setting up the Battery light/LED does not turn it on when the device is charging.

I did notice the LED blink values are all 'Custom' and not normal. I have to select a value for the led to function for any specific notification.

Face Unlock

Does face unlock still just bypasses the lock screen entirely once it detects your face or do you have the choice to remain on the lock screen once face unlock does it thing on this ROM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Meakii:
Still on the lockscreen and must swipe up to unlock once face is recognised. Although if swipe up isn't preferred Instant Face Unlock xposed module works well.

Anyone experiencing frozen camera from double tap on power button.

It happens a day or so after reboot. I have to force reboot to get the phone to respond.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 12Fully:
Just tested. It crashed the first time I did it saying a fatal error, but it is working fine now. I dirty flashed 6/15 weekly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alekos:
double-tap power button for camera is working fine here on latest. (using latest beta flash kernel also)

Just a question - where is the official Support Forum for DU on Taimen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Only on G+
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prey521:
Just flashed the latest weekly, followed by TWRP, and now my phone won't boot, it just hangs on the DU boot animation forever, just spinning. And when I try to boot into TWRP, it never asks me for my Lockscreen pattern and all of my stuff is encrypted. I tried to temp boot TWRP via fastboot, but the problem still persists.....any ideas? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Same happened to me, never had a problem updating on DU before. Lost everything, had to fastboot stock IMG as without - w wouldn't work either. Figured I'd stay on stock for now, squeeze feature is awesome to have again lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prey521:
Well crap are you serious? I was hoping that it wouldn't come to that! :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Brother Black is back! Sorry to hear that though. Rom flashing is always interesting on the P2XL. Which is why I just stay stock + root anymore :cool:

If you made a backup of your data partition before you flashed the updated rom, you could restore it after you fastbooted the factory image without -w, then boot into twrp, then wipe dalvik/ART cache, flash the rom and twrp zip, then restore your data partition. It's worked for me in the past :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:

Can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm thoroughly enjoying being back on stock, had forgotten about some of the stock features that never made it into a custom rom.

The movable pop-up of the ongoing call can be used on DU as well. You just have to install the Google Phone app from the play store and select that as the default dialer app

You will loose twrp doing that. It rebooted to bootloader first time but I just reflashd DU and twrp and booted fine
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
That's how I normally updated, rom followed by twrp, ended up in an endless bootloop with this method on last Friday's release . Ended up wiping everything so I could use my phone again. Been on stock since then, thinking a bug may need to be cleaned up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
Same issue with today's release. Lost some stuff but oh well. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I suggest just flashing room then after it boots setup twrp and the rest of your stuff

Is anyone able to run elemental x kernel with du?? I tried flashing it and when I reboot it just goes to download mode and I have to re flash the rom. Tried twice and had the same result.

I flashed twrp > du official rebooted, then boot to recovery > flashed latest weekly > rebooted, then boot to recovery > flashed elemental x and it just boots to download mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] an21281:
I think with EX you need to remove dtbo.img from the kernel zip to flash it on custom roms. Upzip the zip file, delete the dtbo and rezip. Or what I do on my computer is make a copy of the kernel file in another folder, then open the zip(w/o unzipping) and just delete the dtbo directly...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] morrowa2:
Noticed with every June iteration of DU, that the security setting for notification content on the lockscreen never sticks. I set it to "show all notification content," and it always seems to revert back to "don't show any notification content." It's a small thing, but annoying. I like to see what notifications are pending on the always on display. I'm on latest DU, flash kernel, No major modifications. Is it a kernel thing, some setting I'm missing, or an actual ROM bug? anyone care to comment?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bgboii:
I had the same issue but guess I'll try to just flash rom and not flash twrp to it's booted up and set up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
So with DU you have to reboot to apply overlays right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
It's best to select the ones you want, then select "build and update", reboot, open substratum and select manager, select all then apply, reboot again. All should de golden after that.

Factory reset in twrp flash rom and reboot and now i am stuck in bootloop i have tried hard reboot and flashing rom again but still bootloop

Any help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] $tefanDroid:
Flash the stock image with deuces script. That way the stock image gets flashed to both slots. Then do a factory reset in recovery and flash the rom + TWRP and it should boot just fine.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
You'll need to go back to stock July 8.1 before you can flash this rom. Which means you'll likely have to wipe your phone to downgrade from P.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
How did you update to P? By fastbooting the factory image, or by signing up for the beta? If the beta, then unenroll, if factory image, then clean fastboot the July factory image. :good:

Hey guys I just tried to flash the lastest Dirty Unicorns 12.5. I was on July security update and the last weekly before. Here is my process. I flashed the latest TWRP 3.2.3-1 and latest 17.1 Magisk. Booted and everything was fine. Flashed DU 12.5 and Twrp 3.2.3-1 and booted fine. Went back and flashed Flash 3.07 kernel, xposed, and magisk.. Booted fine with a HUGE PIN things scrolling acorss the bottom portion of my screen. So I went into twrp and deleted lockscreen.dl under data/system and booted fine no password but it did say android starting or something like that. Couldnt do anything. So then back to twrp and restored a backup I made with 3.2.3-1 before I started with this and now it wont boot and my twrp is encrypted and does not ask for a password. No i did not remove the password before hand because I heard TWRP was fixed. Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
You flashed xposed???? Didn't think that was updated for 9.0 yet...and I don't think it is. At any rate, just fastboot the factor image again with the -w removed and you should be fine. And, never trust twrp fingerprint + whatever. It's just not worth the risk :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stalls:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
You likely only need to dirty fastboot the factory image since your data backup was already restored. It's likely your system files got messed up, or, if you restored the vendor partition from your backup.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stalls:
I dirty flashed the stock factory img and recovery and booted it didnt act like it wanted to.. booted back to twrp and twrp is still encrypted.. Didnt ask for a pin.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stalls:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Did you try a hard restart with the power button, and/or flash the factory image to the other slot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stalls:
no how do i got abot flashing to the other slot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Run...fastboot --set-active=a(b) depending on which slot your currently on. To find that out, run...fastboot getvar all.....Then fastboot the image again. If that doesn't work, then you'll likely need to fastboot the factory image with the -w in place, which, unfortunately, will wipe your phone :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
When I went from DU to the 9x factory image, I left the -w in and wiped everything. I think your dirty flash is doing you dirty.

Then I followed the upgrade process (what was needed then) in the "Upgrade for 8 to 9" link in my sig..

But with everything being updated now, I'd bet you could follow the update 9x to 9x factory image process at the top of the same link.

Good luck!

At this point, you'd likely be better off just clean fastbooting the September factory image and wiping your phone. Your posts are a bit confusing.
