Hello Everyone, did someone have the vendor file needed to be installed via TWRP to avoid the "vendor does not match the system" message in every boot?

Thx

To patch this file is just installing it via TWRP and then flash magisk again, right?

No. Just flash the image in TWRP, then reboot

Oh come on Bro, you broke the flashing tradition.... Nobody reads the 1st post, just scans for links. Now people are going to start following directions and RC's won't have anyone to help out ?.

How is the performance and battery compared to Stock Feb? I am just hesitant now a days to flash ROMs given stock is so smooth and battery friendly...I don't see a compelling reason to flash ROMs and just want to see what people flash ROMs for..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbarcus81:
That's what I assumed.. because flashing a kernel will remove the modified boot so .. you would have to then go back and re-install Magisk to patch the boot file the kernel installed. Didn't work though. I'll try again!!

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

The only issue I'm running into is when I flashed the ElementalX kernel, I re-flashed Magisk to patch the boot file the kernal installed.. Had me booting to the bootloader though after I did that.. Hmmmmmmmm...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
IMHO, and it's just that, my opinion. I flash roms and tweaks simply because I can. It's just plain fun for me. Performance is stellar thus far! I agree, stock is smooth and battery friendly, and easy to theme with substratum. But this, is even better!! Everything is pretty much functional, except active edge, which I don't use anyway. I like the little tweaks like, recents, nav bar adjustments, hold back to kill, custom power menu with screenshots, expanded desk top, quick tile settings, traffic indicators, and native led light settings. So, that's why I flash roms ??

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

You did everything right. There's been a couple of folks having some trouble with Ex on different roms, but it's really random. Maybe try stock or Flash for a bit and see how it goes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
How do you get time to do that? I used to flash a rom every 2 days on my OnePlus 3T...and it used to take 3 hours as I prefer a complete clean flash by downloading all apps from playstore and setting them up manually...

Hola

For anyone who has flashed this ROM, can you please let me know if VoLTE (Enhanced Voice) and / or Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) are enabled? This of course assumes that you are on a network that supports these features.

Being the start of the work week I won't have time to play around flashing until Friday [emoji26].

How to flash the latest vendor. I'm always getting the wrong vendor image system message.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Extract the vendor.img from the second zip you find after you've extracted the factory image. Put that in you platform-tools folder, go into bootloader mode and type...fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Done :good:

How do you get the phone to not wake when you get a phone call? I constantly use a BT headset and when I receive a phone call, I have to lock the phone to cut the screen off. I dried freezing the stock dialer, and disabling the stock dialer to replace with Google dialer. When I do that, nothing pops up when I get a phone call. My phone will ring, and thats it. No number pops up or contact info or a way to answer it except my BT headset

No, after flashing the rom I enter the pin and after that appears the screen to start setup and now that google framework issue appear and no matter what how many times i press on the x button it pops up again. this is no issue on other roms i tried tho...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] D-m-x:
Either a bad Download or something you did wrong while flashing. Or even corrupted Phone etc. I would try to download again, follow the instructions to the letter, especially the part to boot once before flashing a custom kernel or Magisk. If that doesn't work, use Deuces Script to Update everything to the March Factory Image on both Slots and start over, maybe even with a Storage Wipe.
