Agreed the ROM is awesome!

From what I can see the lockscreen setting only allows you to show what music the phone is playing not what it's hearing. I can't find any setting to turn on the now playing feature...or I'm missing something obvious.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] piyush7243:
My bad. You are right about the now playing. It's not on lock screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorga:
Got it and updated it. Thanks for the reply.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kbtoiz:
Awesome rom! Been waiting for something like this.

Only thing I can report is that I cant EX to install.

Quick question... Why DU dont make an original release thread over here? Just wondering...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Long story short, xda and DU team didn't see eye to eye, so DU left and opened elsewhere.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Only error I'm getting is this, can't figure out why. On the correct vendor, rooted, did the factory reset then install of DU and twrp. Stock DU kernel, no xposed. Anyone have any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yeah, I got that when I first started it up. Carrier Services should get updated, and that should fix it ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kbtoiz:
Thats what I figured. Thanks!

I had the same issue. It just stopped after a few reboots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorga:
I have on question that's not rom related but someone might had it before.

I have a pattern for security and I added my fingerprint of course. When I reboot to recovery TWRP and inter my pattern, I can't use recovery because it says that the pattern is wrong and I'm 100% sure of it.

Can someone explain why is that. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Because twrp got hosed after the February update. So, it can't decrypt data with a password. Remove all lock screen security, and set it to swipe or none. Then it'll work :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] csimms:
can elementalx be used with this rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
There have been reported errors with it with some users. Golf c, figured out that if you unzip the download, then remove the dtbo.img, then re-zip it, it should work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
correct.. flash kernel works bcuz it will detect if on stock or custom and if on custom it patches the dtbo.. if stock it wont patch the dtbo.. besides constant updates that is one reason i use it on all my roms including custom
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
damn this is a good rom!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
So to confirm . Now playing isn't working?

Scrap that it's working on the lock screen for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kbtoiz:
Just did this and flashed EX without problem. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Now playing does work, it shows as a notification in the pull down bar, not on the actual lock screen as it does on stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Showing on ambient display too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
1. Now playing shows on the lockscreen and on the notification pull down.

2. Battery percentage on quick tiles (like the pic below or something else?)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, my apologies if that's the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darkoj2007:
Now playing show only when statusbar is pulled down like notification but not on always on display. For battery percentage, if you enable battery percentage in settings to be shown near the battery then will be present in quick settings also but when this is not selected then it`s not present like in stock, it`s present only below the battery saver icon in quicktiles :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
OK, I think I understand.

1. No matter what setting I use for the battery icon on the top, it always shows the % under the battery for the tiles for me (again, I haven't slept since 7am yesterday, I probably need some lol) but, the percentage is always there on my tiles.

2. Now playing (like stock) will never be implemented in DU, so always on won't show what's playing, that's how DU wants it. It does however show on the lockscreen as it's intended and that setting can be slightly modified in the DU tweaks.

Am I still missing something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Off to bed and time to charge... It was a great run today
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharpz811:
Brah I don't even get this battery life on stock! Still on official build
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
This rom is quite something! Got it a setup and running nicely.

One small request, I'd love to see App ops incorporated...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darkoj2007:

What font is that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 93fuelslut:
A bit off subject

When you have a sub theme for your nav bar, it'll change to stock on certain apps and etc. Is there a mod to keep the nav bar themed and not stock during certain apps?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Pic?

I haven't seen that issue yet
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharpz811:
Naw it working now don't know what happened but we in Canada so she's on some cheap company called freedom mobile lol and I'm on Rogers

I think it's Google sans took me a while to find the perfect display/font size combo lol

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Looks to be the theme itself, dev may need to update to allow the theme to work on all apps or maybe the theme has an option to change per app? Bigblu theme keeps the same nav keys across all apps I've seen so far. Just my guess though, I'd contact the Dev for your theme and see if they have the same issue or a fix.

Anyone having issues with WiFi? I don't know if it is ROM related or issues with my apartment internet I just set up but my phone constantly connects and then disconnects the Wifi. My roommate's phone, my laptop and TV do not have any issues with holding the connection.

Edit: confirmed my end. Rebooted router and it fixed it. I should have known ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matt1313:
On your end. Mine is working great

Now playing in the status bar has always worked for me even on the alpha releases nothing new
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darkoj2007:
Yeah no problems with now playing, it shows on status bar without issues. I thought that now playing no showing on always on dislpay was a bug but user from above cleared things up :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sacredsoul:
Just about to get my P2XL. Really wanna flash DU but am I right to assume certain features like Now Playing and Squeeze for Assistant is missing in all custom roms? Is there anything else missing from stock? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:
Only squeeze ...flash it you won’t be disappointed [emoji16]

iPhone BK X
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wgrant:
I'm confused about the need for squeeze for assistant. You have to talk to it afterwards anyway so activating it with ok Google is just 2 seconds extra. It's a neat feature but seems redundant.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Some of us use the Edge Sense Plus app and use squeeze to toggle immersive mode, camera, flashlight, etc
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevALT:
Only squeeze don't work

Now playing on AOD/Lockscreen will not be implemented in DU as far as I understand reading this thread

But it works and show in the status bar

Everything else is working, and it definitely worth the flash !
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wgrant:

Anyone getting reboots when switching to landscape. Like when playing full screen videos?

Also any way of getting blurred pull down background?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] garnet&gold:
Works perfectly for me. No reboots switching to landscape for full screen youtube. I don't know about a blurred pull down.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
Hmmm must be something on my end then.

Thanks :svetius:

On stock, I had to install the busybox from Magisk and then the V4A driver installed properly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Is upgrading from an official version to a nightly as simple as a flash + twrp > Boot once > magisk> kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Pretty much. A wipe of ART/cache is always good to do before you flash your update :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbarcus81:
I honestly gave up.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I follow the same process across all roms and can't get it working on DU.. I just can't. It's insane lol..

Unistall magisk and BusyBox of installed from play store then follow my guide.

Just installed Dolby Atmos through TWRP along with Audio mod from Magisk and everything is working wonderfully. Using DU official with built in kernel on Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Iloveeporkchop:
New weeklies is up, running it without any problem so far. Just dirty flash the previous run and flash TWRP after, reboot, let it boot and go-to recovery again and flash magisk, reboot and profit.

Trying some stuff with the new feature, smart pixel

Thanks team DU...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GridironTrenches:
it's running well here too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
All good here after the update. The smart pixel option is cool as long as you have a dark background, a white background causes pixel lines on the screen, so I wouldn't advise using it at a high level.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
Where is this Smart Pixel feature hiding?? Couldn't see it in display or dirty tweaks? Also is there a detailed change log for the latest weekly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkdodger:
It's under battery... check G. + week in review has the change log

Is anyone experiencing issues with freezing? For example I'm using the fling bar and gboard and I noticed that sometimes it just freezes up. By the way I am also using Xposed
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Just a friendly FYI my friend. Many, if not most of the rom Devs do not give much credence to problems with their roms while xposed is being used. :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
Am I missing something or did the latest weekly remove the 3 custom color options in display?

I looked up the last few changelogs and didn't see it removed...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dukat0s:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Does anyone know how to increase the maximum brightness for this device? I find it hard to read the screen while in sunlight.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:
I don't want a special version... I want color options :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
What you see, is what you get. Choose a white type of background and theme for outside use in the sun. Unfortunately the current LG panels on our device won't go any brighter than the current settings. Flar2 has been looking into making his High Brightness Mode operational for the P2XL, but hasn't been able to do it yet ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Now that is very odd! Did you try another dirty flash to see if it returns?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
I hear ya man. Download again, and dirty flash it and see what happens :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Az Biker:

I uninstall substratum, change the font to what I want, and then install substratum again and apply a theme. Works great for me..... Loophole!

Edit: if you already have a theme applied already , you don't have to reapply one if you uninstall substratum and install it again without rebooting. ?

Flash Weeklies ???

I am on the Official DU 12.1 and I have Dolby and V4A working without any issues. If I dirty flash this new weekly, will I have to reinstall v4a and Dolby again? I am using Magisk and understand I need to reflash that after first boot. Also, will the current modules I am using in Magisk remain?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clothednblack:
Modules will remain, not sure about v4 and Dolby though, I would assume they would.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Everything will remain intact. You'll just have to flash magisk, twrp, and kernel(if used) again. V4A and Dolby will be fine :good:

Worked flawlessly, thanks.

After installing latest weekly I started having problems with my phone.

Can I revert to stock flashing latest OTA zip via recovery? Thanks.

Anyone else have a Gear S3 (or S series) paired to his phone?

Since I clean flashed the first official(then weeklies) the Gear manager app + Gear S plugin became "incompatible" with my device says the Google Play store

I downloaded both APK of Gear manager and Gear S plugin but it is buggy and often my Gear S3 get disconnected and some features just doesn't work at all (like remote connect Gear S3 via wifi)

Also I can't install apps from Samsung galaxy apps except for Samsung apps the rest of the galaxy apps isn't available

I have no problem on stock and I was previously on Nitrogen OS and had no problem

I tried to reset my Gear S3, clear data of my Gear apps uninstall, downgrade version and I can't get it to work properly :(

Any solution ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Is your play store uncertified? Your bootloader is unlocked and on stock kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevALT:
Play Store is certified, bootloader unlocked and Flash kernel installed

But even with the DU kernel I have the same issue

I just find out I can't do backup of my Gear S3 from Gear manager :(

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Namolas:
From what I have read it sounds like its most likely a USB communication problem. Have you tried flashing using another USB port and/or cable? Current ROM shouldn't have anything to do with flashing process once you are in bootloader mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
No backup???? That's rule #1 bruh bruh before you flash anything. Oh well, at any rate, lets go through the check list.

What type of pc are you using?

Do you have the latest SDK/platform-tools installed?

Have you tried a different USB-A to USB-C cable or port?

Did you fully unlock your bootloader?

The pic is how I update my system, and return to stock if my backup goes bad for whatever reason :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JonHIV:
I feel like a dumb right now... Changing the USB Port and the flash is going OK :D

Thank u so much dude, and excuse me for that
