Enjoying this ROM a lot so far, especially the stability and battery life compared to others. I was just wondering, is there any way to add support for VoLTE for carriers, which aren't supported on stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CFSlayer:
Did you go with a clean install? I got no issues with unlimited storage under original quality on my end.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
pixel ambient services issue.

Has anyone been able to get this app to successfully show what song is playing via now playing feature?? i turned it off and on and still nothing.. Also when i press the home button the app on the foreground blacks out and redraws thus resulting in me having to press the home button again to get home... [MENTION=5284595]adinkwok[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
What are proper install instruction.

Everyone I try to install s carbon rom.

I end up using deuces recovery to get it going again.

I'm not a not but this is s little different from most
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
Flash ROM flash twrp installer and reboot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
I did that got corrupted data in twrp would not boot.

When I went back into twrp my files looked like a scrambled mess do I need to remove any pin and password first. Other roms don't require me to remove.

I think that is what going on, also is the standard wipe enough?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
What rom are you coming from?

Different methods seem to work for different people, but typically start with fresh stock install, then fastboot twrp. Factory reset (don't wipe system), flash rom, flash twrp installer.

If you want to install custom kernel, SU, gapps, etc it has to be on the opposite slot. You can reboot phone, then reboot back to recovery (for me, I go to reboot menu, at the bottom switch slots, then reboot recovery). Make sure you flash magisk last.

The reason you have to switch slots is because custom roms are installed like stock OTAs, to the opposite slot that you're currently on. So if "A" is your current slot, you instill the rom & reboot, you'll now be on slot "B"
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
I'm on stock right now didn't want to try again

Until I got some help with this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
Ok, try the steps i posted above
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
Ok makes sense now

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Can you point me to the correct gapps please.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fKm:
Gapps are included, you don't need to flash any package.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
Ok sweet only magisk last
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MichaelDrakeMS:
Great! I am not the only one that noticed this! Bro I had so much trouble trying to get this thing to work I eventually got it work but then when u tired again after coming from stock the problem presisted again. Everything I did that work now no longer works and I don't know why. Have you tried all the other steps the guys posted in this thread? Any success???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
starting fresh so you don't come across any issues is my own recommendation that I can give you I flashed this like I told you in the earlier post and everything was pretty straightforward didn't have any issues whatsoever so if you want to have a flawless experience I would advise you back everything up to your computer reset your phone lashing up or that I told you and you'll be fine trust me I flash this ROM about 4 times since it released only reason being was because I was trying different setups
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] humdrum2009:
Had data corruption again, did the same steps on my wife's pixel everything worked.

Repeated on my pixel same result

No boot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
I know this phone is frustrating, what were the exact steps you took?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 3dux:
This phone is just flat out a huge pain in the arse for me. Used deuces script to flash stock to the phone, fastboot to run and install twrp... I install carbonoid rom on slot A - all good. Slot B - failed to mount system/ permission Denied. Reboot into recovery after switching to B - scrambled mess. Reboot into recovery after switching back to A - decrypts and is all good. I'm going to try booting into the system and see if I can remove any password/pin/etc. Maybe if that's gone, it won't need to decrypt anything? I dunno... lol

EDIT: No passwords, /system is still (Permission Denied) when I try doing anything with Slot B.

EDIT 2: Now, I can't get TWRP to decrypt anything. Time for deuce's script again...

EDIT 3: I've tried the same thing several ways (insanity? haha) and I'm still ending up with issues for Slot B. Won't decrypt, etc. I'm a bit lost here. I even followed the directions from the original Carbon Rom and no go. I guess I'll hit up some stock rom for a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
I would after going back to stock firmware then TWRP command then flash rom and TWRP zip and reboot. Once the rom boots and you set everything up, then reboot and install root and kernel of wanted. Thats how I do it everytime without issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 3dux:
I've tried that. Every time I do anything, the rom is always stock. :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
So you flash stock, then reboot into the bootloader and flash the TWRP command and then wipe data and cache, then flash the ROM of choice and TWRP zip then reboot without changing any a/b slots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 3dux:
Exactly.

Flash stock with deuce's script.

Reboot to bootloader.

Run TWRP img.

Wipe data and cache.

Flash Carbonoid zip.

Flash TWRP zip.

Reboot to system.

What appears to be stock rom loads.

Is there a possibility that Carbonoid is loaded, but looks exactly like the stock rom? I'll admit I'm looking for a different boot logo and fibers in settings. I'm also not seeing anything under system info that leads me to believe it's not stock.

Thanks for bouncing some ideas off me here. I appreciate it. I figure it's some dumb little thing I'm missing and I'd like to know wtf it is lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
Yeah a lot of custom ROMs have the stock boot logo. I would check the settings for what room your on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
I tried to flash the rom today as well.

Flash stock with deuces.

I have to boot to system to put rom and twrp file on sdcard.

Reboot to bootloader, flash twrp.

Factory reset

Flash carbon and twrp file.

Reboot to system and bootloop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
Have either of you tried fastboot flashing stock nov image (to both slots)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
Yes tried it several times today, I used deuces script for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
Ok, I've never used the script, was curious if you were getting the same error if you flashed stock image without using the deuces method.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
And it's definitely flashing stock to both slots?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
What stock firmware are you flashing, October or November security patches? I would flash November and a November based ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
I tried with november factory image, so I should try with October instead since the latest carbon ROM is from October?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
Yes
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nowell29:
So, just an observation. You may not be seeing data corruption, but rather, when you reboot into the opposite slot you are seeing the data as it looks when you have not decrypted. Encrypted data is meant to look like garbage, hence the uselessness of encrypted data when you lack the decrypt key or method. When I reboot into TWRP and all i see is junk, I do the advanced reboot into the other slot, I am then prompted for decryption code (of whatever flavor you chose) and then I can see my files again.

What I don't know how to do is decrypt from both slots the same data. Is this a limitation or just expected behavior?

(you cannot have encryption from lock screen, fingerprint, etc if you want to see it decrypted or unencrypted from both slots(right?))
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
Could be, I'm still not so used with the 2 slots. But still not sure I bootloop after flashing. Maybe I'll work up the courage again to flash later on. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Sorry guys for the very long wait. I haven't had a chance to build because of a bunch of reasons, one of which being that I made it to the final round of interviews for an internship I really want. Just did the interview this past week and am awaiting a response. It was pretty cool because the senior engineer I spoke with used to run CarbonROM on his Nexus 5 back in the day. If I don't get the position, I will be too sad to build, so let's hope I get the position :silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Sounds like a solid blackmail to me.

Don't worry people, if Adin's crying in the corner I will release new builds ;P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
Good luck with the internship I hope you get it!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Thank you to everyone who wished me luck. I got the job. Here's a celebratory build that has improved performance and some unfinished features removed (status bar clock).

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Congrats :)

It was bound to happen as the person had been using Carbon ROM in past ;)

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Thanks Nitin! Even with my experiences as a framework developer with Carbon, they were concerned about my translation to app development. Luckily they are willing to take the chance on me. :silly::silly::silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
do monthly updates get pushed to aosp the same day??? latest rom is working fantastic by the way!!!! thank you for your work and congrats on the new gig bro!!!! God's speed!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kimbo82:
Thanks for the rom guys it's working great.

The only thing that bothers me is that the screen doesn't turn off when I'm in a call and bring the phone to my ear. I keep hitting buttons or hangup with my ear. Anyone knows a fix for this?

Edit: it's working now, I got an update for the phone up yesterday and now it seems to be working... ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Have a new build with the latest AOSP branches merged in. I've been trying to upload this for the last 24 hours but I encountered some weird upload issues with AFH.

THanks again for the wonderful ROM! any new features optimizations or toolchains ????
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
Its amazing how you guys got working build for P already.

Two features I hope to see in official release is OMS commits and SmartBar.

[MENTION=5284595]adinkwok[/MENTION], do you have a flashable zip of GAPPS? I can't get any compiled, that'll boot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
I don't know of any working flashable GAPPS, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
Can you PM your manifest that includes baked in GAPPS, maybe? The one from xanax didn't boot for me, when I compiled. I have no problems using the builds you're supplying though :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Yeah back camera broken for me too but other stuff seemed pretty great as far as I saw.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
You can find them here! These are the GApps I'll be sticking to with all the builds posted here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Pinembour:
Could you prehaps build without gapps built-in for those that don't use google applications and services ?

If you can't, can you help me to build it myself ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] erickpygott:
Camera

For those having issues with the camera, after searching for different different modded Google Camera apk's, I found this one.

Works pretty well. Make sure to fully uninstall the System Camera using a Root Uninstaller app or move to user and then uninstall.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552

Make sure you download the Arnova's v8.2
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
Have you had trouble with building? Me and Deed's can't get a build to compile. It crashes right at the start, with some QUARKS issue. I mean, I really don't mind using your builds, so please don't think I am disregarding your builds! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
I don't have the time or resources to maintain a separate set of builds. If you have experience building other ROMs, just sync the CarbonBeta source and for each repo listed in the OP, replace it with mine.

No worries! For the Quarks error, just removing packages/apps/Quarks while you #blameMyself5 should get you going. I haven't synced the Beta source in a while though since I'm maintaining my own repos.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
You, sir, are awesome! Thank you for helping me! You don't know how much it means to a beginner / learner!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Trust me, I do. I wouldn't have made it this far in the journey if I didn't have great mentors who helped me out :silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
Same here! I just seen the first part, about syncing with your sources. I'm gonna do that, if I can't get the vanilla Carbon Beta repo to play nice with me :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] burjuano:
Hi, thanks for the ROM. Just wondering if Magisk will work on this Pie Rom. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shooterlgk:
It's working
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Sooooo writing this from an airport. Will be headed aboard a cruise ship soon which means I will be out of touch from this side of my life for a while (which is why I spent this weak doing non-stop bring up). I have passed on the task of feature bring up to my fellow Carbon developers. Whether they want to continue to post builds here is completely up to them. In my last couple of hours working on Carbon, I managed to break more than fix, which is why I did not post another build here or push my changes to CarbonBeta yet. I'll be back early September, see you all in a bit! :cowboy:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Thank you very much for your work, enjoy your cruise :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
Hope you enjoy your trip! I was going to ask if you knew why no zip file would come out, after a successful build. BUT I'll figure it out :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Are you using the "make carbon" command? :silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] draymond1987:
Whoops LOL! I forgot about the carbon bit. So I'm gonna switch to the official beta sources until you get back home. I've been tracking the Github :P

Just so I'm up to date until you arrive back.

Enjoy!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kheltek:
For those of you that flashed, does disable absolute volume under dev options work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PhoenixPath:
I did not test while I was on the ROM, but I do know it broke back around DP4 and hasn't worked since; even on the release version.

My guess is they deprecated it because Pie "remembers" the volume levels per BT device (...which is great if all you use are BT devices..but not so great otherwise.)

If a ROM can fix that; that'd be great!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
After a couple days running the alpha build, I had to flash back to stock Pie, I feel like battery life was not comparable to Stock. I also found that it would not theme, Stock Pie I could theme. Thank you very much dev for giving us the opportunity to flash an early build of custom Pie. I can't really complain considering it has been said that it is a "pre-beta" build".
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Can you go a bit into detail and further explain the theme issue please? I'd like to take a look at that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shooterlgk:
Substratum wasn't working on it. I can confirm that
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fKm:
You guys used Substratum 998 instead of the newest version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Yep, tried a few times but themes were not enabling after the normal procedures

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Using the usual method of enabling themes, they appear to never stick. My normal method is as follows: Using substratum 998, check the boxes for items being themed, hit build and enable, once done, reboot, go back in and select "enable installed overlays" usually after this the screen would shut off and back on again and my themes would be running but this didn't happen on carbon
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
Thanks, I'll take a look. Did you test different themes, if so, which ones?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
I was using ethereal to attempt to theme system and swift dark for apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
This is odd, now my themes aren't compiling on stock pie either....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] frap129:
The battery life issue has been fixed in our source. Turns out, the "Battery Management" toggle in settings (Adaptive Battery in stock) doesn't really control anything, and battery management is actually controlled by Turbo, the Google Device Health Services app. The builds that have been uploaded so far don't contain the same version of turbo as stock, so battery management wasn't actually being enabled. Rather than only updating Turbo, I changed how the battery management toggle works, so that it only checks the Settings toggle and not what turbo. This way the more paranoid people here (including me) don't have to worry that Google could make your battery terrible due to a server side issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Anything fresh in the works with working back camera? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheUndertaker21:
that's the only pie rom? and half working

pixel development has been really bad
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fKm:
Maybe wait a little longer? Pie is officially out since 4 weeks. What do you expect? There are several custom ROMs already but they are in alpha/beta phase. Feel free do develope a custom ROM on your own...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:
I am happy with this ROM. Camera being used is gcam arnova mod
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mackay53:
Can you please give us an ETA of when you will release your pie rom? We can't wait
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
It's etiquette not to ask for ETAs, given such releases are done so by the kindness of the dev in their free time, whom may encounter delays or any form in releasing a build (bugs, unforseen issues or just quite simply life getting in the way).

Therefore we have to wait. Patiently.

(Ps I do get your impatience, but we HAVE to wait!)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mackay53:
I was being sarcastic.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Just in case... ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
i think in general Pixel devices have not had big dev communities compared to old Nexus devices.

back on topic now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
It's true... even tho I know this device is almost only a year old but by now you would think we'll have more roms etc but I think it's because Google really changed the way of developing for the Pixel models it's not easy and much more work than it was for Nexus devices..take for example twrp ..one of the reasons ive been on stock rom ever since I got the phone which is odd for me cuz I love heavily features and custom roms ? but I had way too much issues with flashing, bootloops or losing os that I was like forget it I'll just keep my phone simple lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
This.

You can't compare Pixel devices to Nexus devices anymore. That was back when Nexus images weren't so deviated from AOSP as Pixel ones are now (they always have been, but it's more now).

Anyways, I'm back from my break but I'm off to a camp where they only have electricity and running water for 8 hours of the day (and no wifi). So, I'll still be out of the picture until the day before classes start again (September 3). :silly:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:
Ok so I have flashed CR and Nitrogen OS as we with all 3 to 4 kernels available.

Out of the box CPU usage by system_server process is very high and hence kills the battery.

Just a heads-up to devs who are working on pie roms.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Myself5:
That's probably caused by the NFC HAL crashing in the background all the time. There was a nfc config derp in our tree, and as Nitrogen uses our devicetrees they probably suffer from the same issue. We've fixed that yesterday. I'll release a new build in this thread in the upcoming days with some fixes (but also some features removed as they were broken, namely lockscreen charging current and the Pixel Homebutton animation) which also has the NFC crash fixed and should therefore have the CPU usage fixed too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adinkwok:
Hi guys, I'm back... back to breaking stuff too. Currently have a build that is unstable as heck so there's a start. I'll be posting my next functional build with the new September security patches and a bunch more features (don't ask when, literally don't know) once it happens :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chesstopher:
Is this the new functional build? https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903998083
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PhoenixPath:
I got a vendor image error every boot and I was on the Sept. security update, so I am guessing ...maybe not?

(Seemed to work decently and had "Now Playing", added - which wasn't in the last build if I recall, so there is definite progress)

Probably best to wait for an update from the folks building these. :)
