First query - no, you can not select individual icons for apps from launcher - icons. You'll have to try that from the icon pack.

Regarding second query - set your settings of ambient display as per the screenshot and share the results. Make sure you have that sleep option disabled which I told on last post.

Still no luck, I haven't updated to newest version that fixes aod bug since I do not use that feature anyways could that be the problem? I have also attached how my settings look in pixel gesture options and display options.

Seriously appreciate all the info and help, all I have flashed is the ROM. I used to have double tap to wake on stock and even on nitrogen. Switched from nitrogen to this ROM after using fastboot to stock flash February .IMG then I used adb sideload to installed this ROM. I didn't flash anything besides the ROM. I am not on the most recent ROM you just released that fixes always on display bugs though. I'll keep tinkering and perhaps flash newest update to troubleshoot some more. For now though its not a huge deal.

Not Saving Information after Reboot

Just got my Pixel 2 XL yesterday (Nexus 6 has now been retired) and installed Pixel Dust. Everything was great until I found out some apps and some settings are not being saved after a reboot.

Changing the Bluetooth name to something besides Pixel 2 XL does not work. Changing the Accent color does not stick. Some apps are forgetting their information as wel suh as SMBSync2.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Googling and searching has not resulted in anything.

Edit:

Looks like there might be a conflict with the restored backup from TitaniumBackup from the Nexus6. Uninstalling the app, downloading it from the app store, and then creating a fresh configuration fixed the SMBSync2. I'll have to go through every app to see what is broken and what is not.

Wiped Cache/Dalvik and the system is still forgetting after a reboot. Uggg.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
What kernel do you use? E.g. for elemental I had to enable DT2W when I used it in the past.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dimpoblimpo:
I haven't flashed a kernel on top of the one that comes with this ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
First thing you MUST do is update to latest version of the wee are talking about two different things.

Your next post should be regarding your test results on latest build and nothing else :)

Did you read the posts above and posts on last page?

What are you settings that are mentioned in those posts?

What version are you on? Build date?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:
No sorry I didn't. Gonna look at it. I have dt2w in settings/system/

I'm on 20190226

It works when I have enabled Aod
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Felosis:
I can confirm dt2w is working for me on latest build with and without AOD. I'm using EX Kernel 2.11, however, if that makes a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
So what's your problem now?

Thanks!

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
So, what are your real issues now? You sided the apps settings issue.

Bluetooth? It works for me, see attahed screenshot with changed Bluetooth name, I also paid with other phone with this changed name ( shown in second screenshot)

Accent colour, of course sticks after reboot (since the very first build that was tied for this ROM). Still I tested it just now by rebooting the phone and (as expected) it works.

I didn't get what you mean by "Wiped Cache/Dalvik and the system is still forgetting after a reboot"? You meant accent colour?

If I were you, I would download the latest version again and do a clean flash. Check these things before setting up the phone or installing any apps or restoring any data (from Google or titanium backup)

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dimpoblimpo:
double tap to wake now working. Had to update to the newest version of the rom. thanks everyone for helping me troubleshoot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dimpoblimpo:
Moving forward what is the best way to update the ROM for new builds? I tried using adb to sideload the latest version and my phone just hung at the white screen google boot logo. I would like to avoid having to factory reset in the future if possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ChrisDos:
Started from scratch. Installed factory image, then the rest of the setup instructions. Allowed Google to restore the apps and settings from it's backup. Accent color was working correctly now. However Bluetooth was not. Changing the name, rebooting, always reset it back. However, changing the name, then pairing a device allowed it to stick. Restored the missing apps from Titanium and now everything is working. Thanks for your help.

Hello together

I dirty flashed the latest version yesterday over the one from the beginning of the month.

Everything's fine so far. But now I have a strange problem, but I don't know if this is due to the update:

If I want to download or send pictures in Whatsapp, the app crashes. I already reinstalled it, downgraded it to an older one and upgraded it to beta. Unfortunately without success. I also did Wipe Dalvik/ART. Can anyone confirm the behavior?

Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] numerouknow:

I really need some help please! I was on the January Stock and I updated to February before flashing this Rom. Followed directions, wiped and flashed rom and twrp but it wouldn't boot. Loaded twrp again and noticed all folder names are scrambled/encrypted so I couldn't re-flash again. Thought it was a twrp issue and tried different versions but nothing helped. So I flashed the February factory image again and it booted. Then I realized that the folders on my internal storage are all encrypted! Couldn't find anything when I googled this issue but found some mentions in this thread back in November and said to downgrade to October's build. So I tried flashing January's factory image after wiping but it wouldn't boot at all. Got stuck with the "can't load android system". I tried the unbrick guide linked in the OP and manually flashed all the images but it didn't help either. How do I get my internal storage back to normal? Thanks in advance!

Are you flashing the factory images without wipe (-w) option?

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carole6m:
This one --> You are familiar with using fastboot (check this needful guide on how to unbrick your pixel device)

I flashed the February image without the -w but wiped data and cache before flashing this rom. After flashing the rom all my folders are encrypted now in the phone storage. Tried wiping and flashing the January image but it wouldn't boot, tried the above guide and flashed all the files and it still wouldn't boot. Now I flashed the February factory images again (without -w) and it booted, but folders are still encrypted. How do I decrypt the folders? :crying::crying::crying:

If the -w is not removed, will it wipe internal storage?

This looks like the same thing as this thread linked in the OP? https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-update-fastboot-t3498187

I unzipped the image zip and flashed the files in it as well from the January factory images but it still wouldn't load.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
This is not related to ROM.

If the -w is not removed, will it wipe internal storage? Yes... You booted the stock ROM; and it works as expected?

Do you use PIN for unlock? Does TWRP asks you to enter PIN?

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carole6m:
I was on January factory images before I did all this. Removed PIN and fingerprint prior to flashing. TWRP did not ask me to enter a PIN either. Updated to February factory images before flashing this ROM and internal storage folders got encrypted. Now I can't flash back to January factory images because it wouldn't boot. I'm on February stock and it boots but internal storage is encrypted. I need my folders and files back...

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Also not only are the folder names showing as encrypted, the internal storage became read only. Can't create new folders so I can't root it or do anything. Still not sure what happened and caused this issue...

That happened to me as well after flashing a test build. I had no other option but to format my data to get my phone usable again. Then I sideloaded the Feb OTA. It sucks to lose data but it might be your only option.

Hello all, it's been a very long time since I've done any rooting out flashing of ROMs. Currently I am on a fully stock Pixel 2 XL. I just want to make sure that I do this correctly. It appears that I just need to, use ADB/Fastboot to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, then install ROM, then reboot and install Magisk. Is this correct, or is there a good "how to" on how to start from scratch that I could read? I've only used ADB a couple of times. Like I said, it's been years since I've done any of this and I know the Pixel is different than the phones I've used in the past. Thanks for any help!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blooddrunked:
Sorry nitin that i bother you again but i have a massive problem with whatsapp on the new build... Anything except whatsapp is truely perfect but i cant get whatsapp to work...

My problem: when i write normally in whatsapp there arent any issues. But when i try to send or open a picture or open a story whatsapp crashs every single time. I try to reinstall it from play store, i try to install it from my migrate backup and i try to install it from titanium backup. Nothing works.

Ive done today a hole clean install with factory reset.

I dont know if you can do something with the logcat, but i send it..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
1, unlock bootloader

2, flash latest factory images from google (Via flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh. Both slots if you want. You can switch slots by fastboot --set-active=_a or _b)

3, from bootloader: fastboot boot twrp.IMG -> this will get you temporary to twrp

4, check the slot you are on (reboot menu in twrp)

5, wipe data, dalvik and cache

6, flash ROM.zip

7, flash twrp.zip

8, reboot

9, if you want to flash something more (magisk, kernel, etc...), reboot to twrp and before flashing check the slot you are on -> should be opposite to the slot in step 4. If so, you are good to go flashing. If not, switch it before flashing.

Don't flash twrp before ROM, you will lose it since it resides in boot. ROM flash would override it...these steps are the same for many ROMs, I have been using it for carbon, aquarios , liquid....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JesterGrafix:
Thanks, it's a little confusing but I'll give it a go! Do I switch the active slot in TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Br4no:
What confuses you?? If you are not familiar with pixel/nexus slots I suggest to read about it on the internet. You can check also the installation steps in carbon-rom thread.

You can switch them in twrp, but usually you don't need to (they are switched automatically after ROM was flashed). The rule is, that ROM and twrp goes to one slot and other things like magisk, kernel, must be flashed to the opposite slot.

Check this:

It's only confusing because I'm not at the computer, I will be trying this tonight and I think I will be good to go. Thanks so much for the help. I will check out the carbon thread also. Thanks again!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
No, there are very few circumstances where you will ever need to do it manually. Flashing a custom Rom will change boot to the opposite slot each time you reflash a Rom but again that is automatic. Some folks prefer to flash the factory image and custom roms to both slots so if indeed it gets switched you are still up to date on that latest versions. I would start small and get the routine down before getting into that though.

I personally prefer Deuces script for my monthly updates and when starting from scratch as it does what is needed in one session. It's just a personal choice.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
There's an option to switch slots in the TWRP reboot menu
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
No, it's just for flashing factory images. It does the same thing as the flash-all.bat file but It flashes all the files to both slots completely. It also unlocks bootloader if needed and asks if you want to wipe data or not instead of having to remove the -w like in the bat file.

Also for some unknown reason it seems to be more successful than the flash-all.bat at recovering from boot loops. Lol
