It was on the last unofficial build that came out. Doesn't look like it made it to the official. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mustbevick:
For those that have flashed this update

Does Now Playing work? Ambient screen too?

Squeeze Gesrure work?

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I'm a first time user of this rom and i really love this rom!

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
As far as I know, none of the custom roms have squeeze working yet...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Can someone please confirm if on the latest release does the notification light show in do not disturb mode?

Any other bugs noticed?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
While it would be cool if the op could merge in the center clock thing, using this substratum theme has done me well for as long as I can remember.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Yes it works i have set to priority mode and each notification has option to turn on led in dnd mode
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Thanks!

Did you need to customise the priority setting, for messages?

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

Can anyone inform which features aren't included in this latest release?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Moe info needed as to what you are asking... As in compared to stock or the last official release or some other rom?? I can tell you it does not include a 707hp dodge engine...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Fair shout! To specify, when the Op mentions the feature list isn't 100% accurate, is that to say some features have not been included or (optimistically) are there some new ones?

Shame about that dodge engine ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Well i did as far as i remember

I'm not sure about the features since this is my first time running any custom rom lol but sure there isn't center clock

If you have any specific feature to ask for it would be better if you mention that

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Great yeah that's fair enough :) I've got this downloaded and looking forward to a nice full wipe and fresh install :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Tried flashing with instructions in 1 post and i would only boot to fastboot, tried the instructions in the Google Document and flashed with ease. Device feels FAST and SMOOTH w/ Flash Kernel, so far, thanks for you continued taimen support...

*edit*

Love the boot animation.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mk7ner:
Not working

This substratum tweak is for stock rom only, i did try the tweak on the newest build of this rom and it crashes with a black screen, had to remove it through twrp rescue restore folder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
If you have xposed you can get centre clock with gravity box that's what i am running

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mk7ner:
Yea i know, but didn't want to run xposed as it eats 2 SOTs of my battery, thanks anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
not sure how is that because i have no problems with xposed, can you tell what factors are you exactly talking about??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Hmm can anyone assist with passing safetynet? (I know this isn't a rom issue, but just seeking possible advice...)

Flashed rom, it passes safetynet. FLashed latest flash kernel and magisk v16.0, it passes safetynet. Installed some modules (youtube vanced, viper and busybox, doze for magisk), rebooted and no longer passess safetynet. Disabled doze for magisk, but that didn't help. Can't see why the other modules would prevent safetynet passing?

I did let it upgrade to the latest magisk manager, not sure if that had any detrimental effect? Though saying this, I reflashed the magisk v16.0 in twrp, rebooted and that didn't help.

I found the same issue before with NitrogenOS>

Can I also ask if the kernel that comes with AquarisOS would pass safetynet if rooted?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mk7ner:
I can get 9 hours SOT with flash kernel without using xposed and 6-7 hours SOT if i installed xposed, only gravitybox and xinsta modules used, seems it's draining my battery life, I've tested this on 3 different roms and 4 different flash kernel versions with the same results.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

Disable the BusyBox option in Magisk Manager. (Uncheck BusyBox).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Will try that very soon, just restoring my titanium backup data.

Is it best just to install busy box via play store app, as I believe its needed for titanium?

Update: removed busybox and still not passing....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Well i have never run this phone without xposed lol so i can't even test as i need xposed but maybe you are right definitely
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 12Fully:
I use BusyBox via Magisk and I pass safety net. Even have the Xposed modual installed just not running as well. I've been running Flash kernel for like the past 6 versions and I haven't had any issues with safetynet so that's weird.

Sadly Xposed definitely puts a drain on your battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Very weird :(

Which magisk manager version are using, with which magisk verison?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I'm using the latest verison which is 16.7 with latest magisk manager version and i pass safety net too
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Could you elaborate more on this? I've set it to priority mode, "block visual disturbances" are both "off" but yet no light :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
My apologies, you are correct. Contact [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION] and ask him what he needs to make up a zip to do the center clock mod. The guy does great work. I'm pretty sure he did one for the last official release.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Ahhh i see that whatsapp doesn't have this option to override do not dirsurb mode :(

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Ok update!

Got magisk passing safetynet - I used the magisk uninstaller in TWRP, rebooted, booted back, flash flash and then magisk v16.7, rebooted, manually downloaded my modules again (including busybox), rebooted and still passing :)

Just wish I could have whatsapp have the notification light in do not disturb!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:
Im not that Good with flashing this device. Oneplus Was way easier haha.. Can i flash this If im on this

https://ibb.co/kxuaDo
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Do this go into app notifications for whatsapp through app info in settings

Then click on message notification or group notification, I'm not talking about the toggle but clicking the word

There scroll down and you will have your led

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Battery light didn't work for me but that seems to be the case with almost all custom ROMs from last week or so.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Agreed. Frankly, I don't recall it working on stock lately either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Yeah it was working on RR build from early in the month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Ah great yes I see that setting now! Though I tested it and still no light showed when receiving a WhatsApp..!?

Which exact do not disturb mode are you using (alarms only, priority, total silence...)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Please add OMS commits for substratum and how the hell can I get rid of this network may be monitored message in quick settings? My usual tricks aren't working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I'm using priority

And i have set my notification for snapchat Instagram whatsapp to override do not disturb that way they make sound and led works

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Thanks, will have a bash and hopefully get it working! I can't remember which rom, but I remember having it where in do not disturb, I would have no sound or vibration, but just the light showing....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Anyone know if there's a way to hide the task manager icon on quick settings? I would love to hide the edit icon too but I'm guessing that's not possible on this rom. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Not that i can find anywhere
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkoj2007:
if you use magisk install move certificates module. Probably this was caused by Adguard, I had that issue too and fixed with this module.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jongcruz:
Everything's running perfect. Any way to make the speaker louder on phone calls? Is really low in this new July ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Thanks man, I found that module shortly after I posted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
[MENTION=5349944]calebcabob[/MENTION] I'm not sure but I'm coming from stock and i feel wifi is weak on this rom not sure why but definitely feels like that
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Ok me again....

I'm my attempts to have JUST the notification light show in do not disturb I'm still failing :( I realise, after support given here, that I can make whatsapp, for example, override do not disturb but what that does is also allow it to sound/vibrate. All I wish for is having do not disturb mode and still being able to see the light (which sometime with some rom, I've had before)

I Light Manager Pro and though just tried using the built in LED settings per app. Upon testing with Messages, I select the light to blink during do not disturb and it momentarily does, but then I see that my settings to stop it blinking (for it to stay on) seem to revert back, as shown in the below link to my screen record:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/KDnwPQ6GMBKTuVB6A

Any suggestions anyone? [MENTION=5349944]calebcabob[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I tried few things but it seems like you need to have sound enable to get led

Edit

Have you tried selecting none in whatsapp notification tune? That way no sound but you will get led

Disregard the screen shot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Would that then also turn sound off for when I have volume mode set to ring?

Ultimately I would love to have:

Ring mode = sound, vibrate and LED

Vibrate mode = vibrate and LED

Do not disturb = just LED
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
... No, as there are still times I'd want the sound (without having to reselect it...) I may just have to admit defeat on this one as I believe this is an android thing :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
In other news...

Sharing this in both the AquariOS rom and Flash kernel threads. Highly impressive battery performance even on my first cycle with latest AquariOS rom and v2.57 kernel, with moderate usage of WhatsApp, chrome browsing etc. Rom is running beautifully, to the point I'd almost be hesitant about flashing any upgrades haha :) will likely keep things exactly as they are until next AquariOS (August base) is released.

Great work devs!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I'm out of ideas lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Maybe things are different In Android P, or perhaps I'll contact Google and suggest it as an optional setting :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] seniorstew:
Loving the rom only issue I have is there is no way to switch the quick setting tiles to white I can't see them on my custom header using the light theme
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] calebcabob:
Hmm, sorry for the late reply - I'll look into this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] calebcabob:
Someone else mentioned this too. I never experienced this issue. However, since even more recent builds, the issue has been reported to be gone. I'd be curious to know if it seems better on next release. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Definetly flash the next builds, thanks for this rom

Few requests while you are looking into the screenshot thing can you change the default format of the screenshot to jpg?

Also can you add oms commits?

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Is there any way to disable the "Improve location accuracy" prompt that comes each each time toggling GPS - without actually agreeing to it and having the high accuracy mode and WiFi scanning etc enabled?

I realise it's likely built into the gapps, but I'd love not to be bothered by it each time....

Any suggestions anyone? [MENTION=5349944]calebcabob[/MENTION]

And also, is there a way to stop media applications from trying to launch upon connecting a Bluetooth device?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Yea just go into the miscellaneous in coral reef and you will see first option just disabled it and if it is already disabled then change it to something else and then select disabled

I tried searching the thread but can't find any related posts. I keep getting messages that pixel ambient services has crashed. Is there any way to fix this issue? I've had it since the first boot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I've had that message as well, particularly after reboot. Forced stopped, cleared data and cache. Also tried a later apk. No difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Weird i have no such issues what's your version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marbertshere:
The build date? I'm on the latest July build, 24th I think. The apk version is 1.0.196644952.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the brightness slider icon? Seems way too big. Silly complaint, I know.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Okay so this is weird i looked in my apps and can't find pixel Ambient services lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Ok. That is strange. I'm on version 1.01.198709630.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I downloaded the version available on Play store and gave it permissions and it started fc but i uninstalled it there after
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I thought it was necessary for now playing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
[MENTION=4113315]jlokos[/MENTION] It is but i dont think this rom has that or i couldn't find it

New build is up

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I dirty flashed the new update and there is nothing in the changelog except for run time check for A/B devices

And the power menu bug is fixed!

Cheers ?

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

As i said in my above post the power menu bug is fixed

But i am still experiencing the weak wifi as compared to stock

Also i was in slot B and i just dirty flashed the new build and my slot switched to A, is this normal? Still can't figure out A/B thing after owning the device for 7 months lol

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Yes for ota and Custom Rom each flash switches slots. That's why folks get boot loops cause for example slot A is July but slot B is June. Your on slot A and you flash a July rom so now your trying to boot a July Rom in slot B with some stuff still being from June.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Now i understand lol isn't there a way to flash to both slots or the active slot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
I love AquariOS.....coupled with Flash kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Are you using xposed?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Nope

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

You can, but that defeats the purpose of the slots, the a and b slots are there so that if you update and something goes wrong, you can fall back to the last version on the other slot, this is why slots switch when you update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Oh makes sense lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
I would suggest, at least for custom roms that flashing both slots might avoid some of the current snags people see. Granted I'm certainly in the minority, but here's what it like to see... Back in the old days of Samsung there were "one-click" .exe builds of factory images built by Calkulin. Could the deuces script be used to install custom roms also?? That would take care of the monthly updates for the vendor mis-match errors and such as well as worrying what slot is what.

Just thinking out loud. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Dueces script looks for certain images that custom ROMs don't provide, it is meant to work only with Google factory images at this time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Ok got yea. I guess I meant a modified version or modeled after.

I'm sure folks over all will be resistant to a release method that requires a PC but it could be worth exploring.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
[MENTION=5349944]calebcabob[/MENTION] i just noticed that pixel visual core service was outdated, the verison installed was of October while the latest one is of March

So i searched in playstore but it didn't came up so i downloaded the apk but it won't install as it was a system app

So should i uninstall it using TB and install it as a user app then? Would installing it a user app gonna affect something or i can do it?

I hope you looked into the wifi problem because i tried pixel dust and RR and came back to this rom because this is a sweet spot for me

Does the keyboard on this ROM not have Emoji's? Trying to figure out if I installed something over it or if that was default. Installed Aquarius last week and just now realized they weren't there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Pretty sure the keyboard included is AOSP keyboard, try replacing with Gboard

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KageBeast:
Ok so need some help here. After failing to get nitrogen to get past the splash screen I tried flashing this rom and ran into the same issue. After multiple attempts of wiping and reinstalling I finally got it to boot but I ran into the issue of it not detecting my sim card so i ended up going back to stock . Did I do something wrong or is there a fix for this?

I'm new to flashing things on this phone so the slot a and slot b stuff confused me even after reading up on it. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
If you followed the steps in the OP you shouldn't have any problems, they work for me

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KageBeast:
Well I'm confused about step 2. Since I don't know what a dtbo is or how to get it.

Edit: Nevermind figured it out. Well lets see.

Edit2: I do have one question though. Since it says get the boot.img and dtbo.img from current android security patch installed does it mean the current one installed on this rom or the latest stock one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sjgoel:
- Use the Android Security Patch which is compatible with the ROM version - not the latest. The current AquariOS version uses the July patch.

- You get dtbo by unzipping that Android Security Patch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KageBeast:
Got ya. I've been figuring out stuff with this phone as I go so I think I have all the info now to properly flash a custom rom. Last time I flashed this rom it booted up but i got constant force closes of everything and the sim card couldn't be detected. So it doesn't matter that I'm on pie when I begin to flash this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
I think the newest version of this rom is based on 8.1 July so you should flash the stock image from then to get the proper bootloader etc. Then you can use fastboot to boot TWRP and flash from there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KageBeast:
I'm not able to do the flash-all method for flashing it so can I just flash the ota in twrp instead?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Why can't you do flash all?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KageBeast:
I'm using a chromebook and anytime i run the the script i get an error saying it wasn't able to allocate enough space to transfer the image i guess? I read that it might have to do with not having a lot of ram but i don't know for sure.

Do you plan to keep merging the google security patches to this rom since Pie is out? Or you will focus only on P.
