What the other guy said, but also make sure you have the stock oct build (latest vendor image) flashed to both slots. Custom ROMs install like stock OTAs, they install to the opposite slot that you're currently on.

It's the reason why when you flash a update to your custom rom, you have to switch slots before flashing a custom kernel (or GApps, though that's not needed with this rom), because that update is getting flashed to the other slot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Same here, just confirming. I don't use the feature so I am not bothered by it.

Just tested. Working here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
Theme issue maybe?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Clear the app's data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] semakawa:
Yes and that's very true. Only factory reset, flash rom and flash TWRP. zip. Start your phone and after setting it up you reboot in recovery and you can flash a custom kernel and Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
Confirming Google Pay (Formerly Android Pay) is working with Magisk installed on this ROM. Forgot my wallet at work, reaaaally needed coffee, set G Pay up in my car, BOOM, coffee accomplished.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wy1d:
This is the first ROM I've flashed on my 2XL - been running stock+Magisk. Ran into some issues:

At first calls didn't work at all - no sound in or out. Found an old guide on disabling Google Voice Match - which seemed to work. So is "OK Google" not compatible with this ROM?

Having an issue with Now Playing - it seems to keep a persistent notification and is either on a delay or is matching my silent room with random pop songs constantly.

I mostly wanted to enable Call Screening on my 2XL and return my 3XL but am curious if the general community thinks this ROM is stable enough for a daily?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Off topic but would you consider selling your 3XL?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wy1d:
Are you not able to buy one? I am returning for full retail so not really any reason for me to sell unless it's = or more.

Now Playing is popping up so often when nothing is playing. I just got one that said "0 by 0" - looks like it's not working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
I can but still not fully sold on upgrading from 2XL and that notch ughh lol just was curious to see if you were selling it but yeah your right cuz for that then i would just buy it from Google then lol

Turn off now playing in settings/havoc settings/ambient display and that shoud fix it and im using this rom as my daily driver since release now and its great!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wy1d:
I assume that will disable it completely? I just want it to function like it does in stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
It will still work, some tho have issues that it doesn't act like it does stock... but as long as the option is turned on in display settings you'll be fine.

Anyone try Bootleggers Rom in Devs folder on AFH 10/30 build date? Just curious what it is.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lwps:
Man this is a nice Rom, very stable and smooth, I sent a couple dollars your way, what I could spare at the moment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tesna:
great, this works for me (finally). Thank you

whoa man flashing roms is a bit more complicated on a/b devices huh. Thank you for the explanation. Bit curious tho, how do I flash stock vendor image to both slots? by running flash-all script twice? I managed to get it running tho, albeit with small issues.

So that's why the calls did not work out when I first time successfully flashed this rom, I restore all data from google restore function then set up voice match. Only regular calls has issues, whatsapp calls works fine. I was really frustated, until I clean flashed this rom (again) and did not restore data and did not do voice match beause I want to tested call functionality asap.

Was not sure what causes the issues, I thought just my bad luck at flashing roms lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
When I was on a custom oreo rom, I just flashed the vendor image in twrp. You can do the flash all script if you want to start fresh (with or without the -w).

I just flashed this last week so I haven't updated yet on a new month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marbertshere:
My now playing is a little wonky. It'll pick up a song and notify me, but that notification won't go away, nor will it off up a different song until I clear the notification. Is there any fix for this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Very nice rom. Volte works on Verizon. Has less features than havoc and liquid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wy1d:
Yep. Just a few posts back above yours where I asked the same thing. Looks like there are two Now Playing features in Havoc - one is stock (in Display settings) the other is Havoc (in Havoc Settings -> Ambient Display). Disable the Havoc one and the Stock one should work normally.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yokesh_da:
I clean flashed this rom and now am getting a SOT of only 3 hours. Whereas in stock i used to get around 6. My usage is same as it was in stock. Just came to havoc because it seemed to have a lot of customization. Any idea how to get a better SOT?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Are you using the now playing feature under havoc settings? If so, turn it off and just use the Now Playing that is under main settings>sound
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yokesh_da:
Hey. Thanks. I have turned it off. Will check for a complete cycle and will let know if the problem persists.

Also am facing issues in calls placed over carrier. Am in India and I have tried using various carriers in my country. Still people on the other end cannot hear me clearly. They always have some kind of disturbance while speaking to me. This doesn't happen while am placing the call through WhatsApp or over other internet calling apps. Any ideas what could be the issue ?

P.S. This calling issue was not due to this ROM. I was facing this in stock so thought of giving a try in custom ROMs to check whether the problem persists. To my bad luck it does. Tried replacing the mic too. Google cannot figure out what's the issue. They are simply saying my device is fine. But it isn't. It would be a great relief if someone could help me out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Because you are flashing an Oreo factory image. Latest pie is PPR2.181005.003
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] WillowTree:
Did you flash stock ROM to both slots? (a&b)

I got the same issue as you but i always boot into ROM after re-flashing custom ROM second time.

I would recommend you to follow this procedure to update into stock rom https://youtu.be/fgZNOlNIlDM. You dont need to get into stock ROM after updating to setup, you can just boot directly into twrp and follow the instructions for flashing custom rom.

Hope it helped.

Edit: just noticed as mentioned above that you're updating to oreo stock instead of to pie.

For those having issue with brightness being weird, I found out it is a bug related to status bar brightness gesture and adaptive brightness. I don't use adaptive brightness which is why I never encountered the issue myself. If it is a big deal, you can disable one or both
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
I lock my device using the Nova launcher pro standby shortcut. It locks the screen in a way that allows unlock via fingerprint on Android P. Problem is, if the device sleeps a bit longer than some seconds the fingerprint does not wake and unlock the device. I pull the device out of my pocket e.g., while doing so I touch the sensor area. Nothing happens then often. I release and press the area again and then it unlocks. Having to press two times and sometimes pressing longer as it should take while unlocking is quite annoying.

Any help or info regarding this is appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cmattern:
Just tested, works fine for me as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tesna:
I had this issue as well, I tried to run logcat however since the crash happening at random (sometimes when browsing, sometimes when reddit, sometimes when whatsapp, sometimes when trying to took a picture) and I dont want to run logcat 24/7 not sure what caused this. However I experience the similar issue on stock rom + flash kernel combination. On stock rom + stock kernel or sultan kernel I did not experience random reboot.

Since havoc is using flash kernel I guess this is related, so this past few days I'm running havoc + sultan kernel and so far no crashes (fingers crossed)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
I was thinking it might have been Flash kernel, but a few versions ago, nathanchance fixed it and I didn't have any more random reboots. I was testing on Kisikura kernel too and was still getting random reboots.

I went back to Flash kernel yesterday and haven't had a crash yet. Was hoping others would chime in to see if it was only me, but your experience mirrors mine.

Anyone else out there getting random reboots?

Forgive my ignorance but apart from the extra customization menu why would I opt for this Rom?

Is there any camera optimization or at least can I known it works at least as good as the stock?

Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
Yes camera is same as stock
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Buddyjohn:
so this next update will be from october to november images, I personally dont want to do the whole process of flashing back to stock and starting over. what would be the steps for updating via twrp from october to november then dirty flashing the next havoc build?

i do understand clean flashing is the way to go but lets call it a learning method this time
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
You can probably just update the vendor image in twrp when flashing new havoc build with November patch. I will test if that is fine before releasing a new build
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
I heard Nov patch has call screening now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Big if true! I would have guessed that they enable it server side like they did today for now playing history

I already had call screening via the flag but i did get the now playing history today tho...pretty cool that we still get these server side updates/features even on a custom rom:)

Sadly no log cat to share but...

I had jury duty today which meant a 90 minute commute downtown. I typically listen to a book on audible and navigate with my phone. This was my first commute with Havoc. On the ride in today both apps crashed alternatively and repeatedly as if they were being killed due to OOM. I figured I'd get a log capture on the way home. Found that logcat seems not ready for pie and so removed it and installed matlog. No other changes made, no reboot, nothing and, like Schrodenger's cat was watching, nothing crashed or died on the way home....

Has anyone else seen anything like this?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Strange thing. I just wanted to wake my taimen using the fingerprint, but it did not work.

Pressing the power button showed me a dark screen saying "long press power button to interact" - did press until the device rebooted.

So I guess it just freezed or something. I never saw that system message before.

Also my taimen gives me weird sounds when making a call sometimes. Sounds like a short crackling white noise sequence during calls.

And I still got that problem with the fingerprint not working on first tap. It unlocks on second tap.

I was going to ignore all the problems and bugs LG/Google gives the users with this device, but at the moment it just spoils the fun.

I don't even know if the hardware is broken somehow or if it is bugs regarding the vendor image or such things / software bugs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
You've got something weird going on because I'm not getting any of those issues. Maybe try a different kernel.

Hey guys. I've tried everything I can think of to get Google Pay to work, but I get an error saying that an app is drawing over other apps and I must disable it to continue with Pay. I went into the settings and disabled all of the "draw over other apps" permissions that I had granted earlier, and it still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

AS I HAVE MENTIONED MANY TIMES IN THIS THREAD, THIS ROM INCLUDES A "NOW PLAYING" FEATURE THAT WORKS ON DEVICES OTHER THAN PIXEL 2. IT IS NOT AS GOOD OR EFFICIENT AS THE OFFICIAL GOOGLE VERSION. I RECOMMEND IT BE DISABLED IN HAVOC SETTINGS!!!!!!!! THE NATIVE GOOGLE "NOW PLAYING" CAN STILL BE ENABLED FOR US PIXEL 2 USERS BY GOING INTO SETTINGS>SOUND>NOW PLAYING.

DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT BATTERY DRAIN IF YOU ARE USING HAVOC SETTINGS NOW PLAYING!!!!!!!!
