If you've been "out of the flashing game awhile" these steps are the same as the above link, just more detailed for those who might need more detailed instructions.

All file links, fastboot commands, detailed steps, in one spot. This is what I use for every new factory img when it comes out.

Have at it man, you'll be glad you did!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pantmunu:
Just worried about jumping into this whole twrp scenario. Used to be so much easier. I am rooted with magisk and flash kernel. Was pretty easy but I'll jump into twrp once they fix it. Need that back up and need to take my crack flashing addiction.

Thanks guys. Y'all are awesome. Reminds me of pure Nexus thread from my 6p.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Yeah, we're both 6P PN users :D

The only "flaw" with TWRP right now is the removing security prior to using TWRP issue. I've seen numerous reports of restoring nands without any problems at all, myself included.

TWRP is working fine for those running cust roms as well.

DU is worth it :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] raymondm2007:
Does anybody know how to turn off the immersive mode? Other than that I love this rom
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pantmunu:
Wasn't that an issue too a while back, twrp not being able to decrypt files if we had pin or pattern lock saved and was fixed later. But yes, gonna twrp as soon as I get home and flashing du ... Been itching to flash some ROMs. I hope we get PN soon. Miss beanstown multiquote talent ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Settings/dirty tweaks/expanded desk top

And turn it off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] raymondm2007:
thanks got it..

Now the only bug is the wallpaper, i setup my wallpaper and looks real stretch any have this problem?

Bugs bugs bugs this Rom is like some cockroaches
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Hmmmm...to which bugs are you referring to??

Most everything is working fine for me, and many others I think ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
All I need now is one hand mode and no full screen landscape keyboard! Oh and round battery with % inside

Loving the tweaks especially the navbar.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
Do you have details? What exactly is wrong with it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Me thinks there's a troll lurking! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Yeah, I like the GEAR or COG battery icon with the % inside as well. I imagine more things will come with the first stable release... Fingers crossed:D

BUGS??? I haven't noticed any bugs....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
?

Rom is pretty damn stable
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Neejay:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowline:
So far this build is pretty stable! I love the features and speed of it. I think the only thing I miss currently is active edge. But this might be my daily if it stays as stable as it is now. Good work!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Yeah active edge has been previously mentioned as one of the features not working, but I agree this is fast, with nice extra features, and an overall great initial Rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
So this is odd. First time I've seen it.

Using my OPPO headphone dac/amp makes my phone bootloop on this rom.

Not on Nitrogen, stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus_man12:
True that. One of those things you don't really care for until it's not there. ROM is fast, fluid and stable. Been running it for 3 days now and I must say I'm very impressed
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootuser3.0:
Have you read the comments this Rom has alot of bugs
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
Never had this as a bug on any rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Only from you! And you still haven't stated what they are!! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
This rom is bug free for me. Hire an Exterminator to Get Rid Of your personal bugs! :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
its a great rom no bugs here either. i smell dev hate
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] carljoshle:
Is the active edge is working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
active edge isn't included but theres a magisk model

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/root-custom-active-edge-actions-edge-t3732383/page26

Does this work with custom roms?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Nope. But neither is it on other AOSP roms.

At least not natively that is ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootuser3.0:
Another bug tether subscription bypass not working
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
When did the lack of a feature become classified as a bug??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
No point in reporting stuff in here since the developer isn't checking this thread
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mgear356:
to confirm this doesn't work right? Tried but does not
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
someone in the active edge thread said it wont work because custom roms don't have the active edge service/driver built in
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mgear356:
Oh my such a waste.. This rom is snappy than stock.. Gonna monitor the battery to see..

Since the Feb update, idling time has gone down the hill
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
eh this rom has custom settings that make up for no active edge, plus its a good daily driver. surely more features will come.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rootuser3.0:
So why comment at all then? Just say how great it is make DU great again?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
The sarcasm isn't doing anyone any good.

This thread is simply an announcement thread. Questions between users can be shared: how do I turn off feature xyz?"

This thread is for the user, not for the DU Dev team to field bugs or feature requests.

Pretty simple concept.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xBlu3:
Does this rom pass safetynet?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:

Naw, JUST KIDDING!

15.4 is the latest, flash it in TWRP, it auto installs latest Magisk manager too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
This coming from Yuma Man that couldn't follow written instructions the other day! Bwahahahahaha ????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Couldn't READ and couldn't FOLLOW are two ENTIRELY different things!!!!!!!!!!! I followed exactly what I read.... I just failed to read everything.

Admit it, for a millisecond, you thought you missed the newest Magisk update! ADMIT IT! :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
First thing I did was go to the MM app, and said..Huh!!?? That's when the stupid smile look overcame my face!.???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Guessphx:
Sprint?

Anyone using this ROM on Sprint?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Android Attack:
I just tried this ROM on Sprint with my Pixel 2 XL but I could not get any mobile data. I wiped everything and installed the stock February update and then installed this ROM and had this issue. Didn't have too much free time this weekend so I went ahead and just wiped and went back to the stock February update so I am not sure what was wrong. Please let me know if you try and have better luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Guessphx:
I just received a test build so I'll let you know how data is after I flash. If it's good I'm sure a update will be released in the near future
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
You might need to set your preferred data type correctly. I had to change mine to Lte/wdcma
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BadBromance:
I had a problem with calls. The proximity sensor appears to be broken after a call or whatsapp call. Had to get someone to call me to wake up my screen. Any idea?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
Any confirmation that this is anything other than a one off experience?? Has anyone else had call issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Are you freezing, deleting or disabling aosp dialer? Thats a no no
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus_man12:
Ummmm...I have uninstalled the AOSP dialer and I have zero issues making or receiving phone calls. Only issue is my visual voicemail tab is always showing an error about retrieving voicemails. I think that's related to the new Phone app update as I use Google voice as my voicemail provider.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Yeah, I can't seem to do that on these roms. I receive a call and get a blank screen. I haven't seen visual voicemail on any rom till I went back to stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus_man12:
It's weird though because even though it's throwing an error about unable to contact the voicemail service, I still see message come through when one is left. Go figure! ??*♂️
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
No problem with voicemails coming through. Just not a visual text message of voicemail like stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nexus_man12:
Ahhh yeah...I guess we can live with that for now ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
how well does Heads up notifications work for everyone? ticker works fine but heads up notifications don't popup. ticker is disabled and apps are added in the list
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mgear356:
One bug to report.

WiFi doesn't automatically turn on when on recognized network (home) - checked and toggle settings

Apart from that kinda miss active edge, heads up and proximity sensor works fine after calls
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peterandrewd:
Can anyone tell me if this ROM has 'app ops' located anywhere?

Similar to what NitrogenOS has.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Nope. Not yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peterandrewd:
Dang! I'll flash it if it gets added in.

Might not even get added
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danielrod:
Same here regarding the wifi turning back on
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
hrm.. my "Now playing" seems to be not working on the lockscreen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
It's not supposed to. It works with ambient screen on and when screen is on with a notification on the pull down bar, but not on the lockscreen and that won't be an added feature as far as I have read.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

Mine stopped working (wifi on at home) around the time I updated to February release.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
What's the difference between ambient screen and lockscreen? I have ambient screen turned on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Ambient display is when your screen is always on, even after you turn the screen off. It's the constant display that shows your clock, battery and song playing. Lockscreen is wheen you double tap the screen (if toggled on) or hit the power button to wake the phone, this brings you to the lockscreen, hince having the slider, keyboard, or number keys on the screen to unlock it (if enabled). The ambient screen doesn't show the lock screen, it's like a screen saver in a way.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
Thanks!

Yeah, I have ambient display turned on and I have now playing set to show on ambient and notifications.

I currently have no themes activated... I don't remember if it ever worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 12Fully:
How big of a deal is the audio recording? I use Snapchat a lot and the mentioned glitch is what is stopping me from DU.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peterandrewd:
Would also like to report a possible bug. When playing games in landscape mode, if there are background tasks like downloads going on in the background, once each of them finish, the game automatically pauses itself each time. Gets really annoying when you have so many downloads going on in the background.

Even sometimes when watching a YouTube video in landscape mode, it'll return back to portrait mode once each of the background tasks or downloads finish.

I have disabled the notifications for Google Play Store and Downloads Manager and it didn't fix the problem. I have also tried disabling system ui keep device awake function in an app permission app, to no avail. Also tried to force rotate said apps/games using force rotation app also to no avail. Turned off auto rotate itself and wasn't successful in fixing the problem.

I can't seem to figure out why it does it. Android 7 never did it.

Would really appreciate if the devs could look into this ASAP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
As has been previously mentioned,

This thread is NOT FOR REPORTING BUGS OR FEATURE REQUESTS related to DU's 2 XL Rom..

This thread is SOLELY for the purpose of notifying 2 XL users that there is a Custom DU Rom available, and a centralized place for DU users who want to talk back and forth to each other about how a feature works, or to help each other get things up and running.

The appropriate place to request features or report a bug can be found by following the link in the OP. However, that thread appears to no longer allow comments.

If the DU folks aren't fielding comments in their own neighborhood, they're certainly not fielding them here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I appreciate that this is not the place for people to report requests for the devs. However, as someone who is considering this ROM, I think it is very beneficial to see people post these bug reports here as they help people like me make decisions on whether the bugs are minor enough to consider running the ROM or big enough to prevent me from wasting my time with it.

As you mentioned, the "appropriate place" to make these reports has comments disabled, rendering it completely useless.

As long as the person reporting the bug here is aware that the devs are not going to see this thread, then I see no problem in reporting the bug as it is very helpful for the rest of us.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Made contact with the dev for xl 2, says he doesn't have any issues with wifi not turning on automatically when near a trusted area and will be releasing another build soon, will open comments back up when it's released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
I agree. But there are too many users who THINK devs are watching this thread.

While it's great to say "hey wi-fi calling isn't working on this Rom"... there are users who are asking for features and/or reporting bugs expecting them to get dev team attention.

My post wasn't intended to be a scolding of those posting bug reports, it was supposed to be a "For those who don't know, there is no dev support for this Rom in this thread"...

I have a habit of using 'caps' for EMPHASIS, and it can come across as RAGE when it's not :p

My apologies to all if it came across as angry or condescending.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Asitaka:
btw, my ambient now playing is working after a reboot....

when in doubt reboot!

All in all, it's pretty awesome if you read (and follow) the directions on the install!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
My now playing only works in the notification shade
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danielrod:
Does anyone else get the issue where pressing the volume up and down buttons to control media volume plays the short beep/tone as if you're adjusting ringer volume? It goes away after a reboot but comes back again after a while. I get that same short beep once when I reboot my phone sometimes. I know this isn't a bug report thread, just wondering if anyone else has the issue and/or a fix.

Ahrions and Zacks zip
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 12Fully:
Still getting this error once prompted to update drivers. I even installed Audio Mod Library and Ainur Sauron. Could this be a magisk 16.0 error?

When I install the old version I get a BusyBox error saying it's not installed. "V4A needs Stericson's busybox to work" and that's the one I have. I guess I will try digging through the V4A thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
No, I'm running 16.0. Try flashing from Magisk or vice versa from Twrp. Seems I'm having better luck flashing from Magisk lately. Use to be Twrp, a few versions ago. Weird. Sometimes I have to flash it twice, to get it to stick. But I always get it.

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

I use new version and original ui. That can be a big difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 12Fully:
I had been flashing via Magisk but I just tried TWRP and am still getting the same error. I also tried original and materialistic with no luck. Oh well I give up lol. I'll probably wait until a new release or go back to Nitrogen. Thanks for trying!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I would try 2.8 or 2.9 like [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] advised. Those were the easiest and most stable. Never missed a stick with TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
I would try the original version. All I have is 2.9
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Anyone noticed their display isn't rotating when going from portrait to landscape?

Couldn't find anything searching the thread.

I checked my sensors, all good?

Any ideas on this??
