It was made clear by the OP, on what he is not building/providing. And ROM developing is not a simple automated process, dont take this other than for face value if you do some homework and try to development on your own, you will find the process to be demanding and not having the device is hard to test/complete. And time and effort play into the same when building, so many Dev's do move on when they do not own devices anymore. So let's leave it at that, move on or dev for your self.

I almost got crosshatch when I had issues with my Taimen charging. They replaced my device so I figured that was a blessing which it was. Seeing this news stopped me in my tracks especially since I just ordered my wife the same device. It's been really nice and just wanted to tell you thank you for all your contributions to the community and for doing such a good job. The Crosshatch community is very lucky to have your skills and you will definitely be missed here on Taimen. Anyway I hope all is well, and enjoying Crosshatch. Hopefully get to catch up to you soon when I replace this device.:good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rafe83:
I'm sorry to see this. I always come back to this rom after trying others. Thank you slothdabski for all your hard work. Now I'm seriously considering getting a 3XL now.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Anyone thinking about jumping ship to another rom? I may need suggestions lol. This one had everything I wanted in a rom. Gonna be hard to part with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
I've gone with Colt. Bootleggers was probably the most similar to Havoc, but alas, it's gone too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joeo10:
Went with Colt for now, Might try Bliss or AquariOS next depending.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Thanks for everything man, you singlehandedly made a whole page of awesome roms available to us taimen users. I'm seeing a trend here where you like to buy the about to be replaced Pixel model for a good price I'm guessing. I did that with the Taimen myself. I can't quite embrace the notch on the 3XL and don't feel like its much of a step up from my 2XL otherwise I would probably follow your lead.

Crosshatch users are very lucky to have you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
After using havoc for some time, I switched to Dirty Unicorns. They are not on xda. The ROM runs smooth, no problems here. It has much less features regarding UI tweaks, but it's stable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Have you tried DU-REX? It's one of the last Taimen builds posted on afh. It's a pimped out version of DU
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
I've switched to Eamo5 builds of LOS and Sultan+ Kernel. Running flawlessly.

I tried Colt and dotOS but LOS seems a lot smoother and stabler.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GoldElocks:
Everyone is rushing to a different ROM but I think I will try to stay on here as long as possible, hopefully until the Pixel 4 comes out. I have little motivation to switch as everything just works and I love all the features. How big of a deal is it to be on August vendor for several months?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
In theory, it's a horribly big deal. You'll be opening yourself up to all kinds of security horrors....

In reality, meh. It's really not that big of a deal assuming that you act right with your phone (don't install shady apks, shady downloads, etc).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
As sharkie said it's not a big deal. I usually go 3 months between any sort of updating unless I'm having issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
I'll try and find the storage on my SSD to sync Havoc OS sources and provide updates. At this point I may just buy a cheap 256GB SSD and use it for syncing various ROM sources previously maintained by slothdabski when I can afford it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] itslels:
This would be awesome! There is also a new unofficial build on AFH by BigMarv.

Phone crashing when playing videos in landscape

Does anyone here face this issue ? when i play a youtube video in landscape when phone screen goes black and it goes home and says pixel is loading and keeps going until the restart the phone.

Also after restarting if i unlock the phone without the passcode (if i use finger print instead) same pixel is loading appears.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] REV3NT3CH:
He will also have unnoficial builds of Omni, liquid remix and xenonHD on there as well... He's also the new official maintainer for BlissRoms. I help him co maintain and am teaching him
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
I never had that YouTube issue with this ROM.

The force unlock of phone using fingerprint and bypassing passcode after a reboot has long been known to cause the issue you're describing on this and several other ROMs. Just disable that feature.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
I installed BigMarv's unofficial build last night and can't make phone calls. Soft reboots phone every time an attempt is made. Anyone know if he's on here to provide bug reports?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aoaleman:
I had the same issue. Phone or telephony kept force closing. Acted like data would enable and disable automatically.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Glad I didn't try that yet then. I was tempted to. I usually stick with ROMs that have threads somewhere just so I can read up a little on current issues etc first.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Why do you guys even flash any random zip available on internet?

What it has to do with this thread? Is it uploaded by this OP?

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigmarv31:
I built that rom for personal use and uploaded it to my afh account and it works fine for me,I dont have any issues and I never told you to download and flash it so dont come into Sloths thread and start all this non sense, if it doesnt work for you I really dont care cuz its not an official build and I didnt post it in this thread or OP!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
Thanks for the information that led to this line of discussion below and thanks for your work on Bliss and teaching someone that wants to learn and maintain custom ROMS for the community.

Maybe I flash random zips because they are provided through a trusted source for a ROM that I would like to continue using with the latest sources. I used one of yours for a time until HavocOS came along and I enjoyed them and thanked you for your work then.

Well considering the discussion in slothdabski's thread ended up leading to BigMarv's unofficial build, that's how that happened.

And thank you for your work. I asked if there was anywhere to provide feedback for your build since it is based on HavocOS and you hadn't started a thread yet.

If stating that something didn't work for me is nonsense after your build was available for download, then I apologize, but my comment was posted for others who may have also flashed your build to see if the same thing occurred for them.

There was no harm intended and whether or not you end up posting more builds or deciding whether or not you want to become an official maintainer is your decision.

As someone incapable of compiling builds for myself, I appreciate anyone who does and anyone who make those builds available, but I don't understand your righteousness or nitin's own off topic post for asking a simple question because of a line of discussion that came about naturally in the thread.

Seems best that slothdabski or a mod close the thread to prevent any more of this sort of off topic that most don't appreciate.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
I see no reason to punish the users of this rom by closing the thread because a few people choose to use it for off topic chatter.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
Thanks for this mate, but keep focussing on LOS. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jewnersey:
I think what he was implying was that there is currently no longer an active Dev for this ROM, which is often grounds to close the thread (until someone takes over).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chopt51:
Me too. It may have to do with status bar settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cerj:
I'm trying to talk a fren and up n coming Dev into building this for us, but he's been really busy so I'm not sure it will happen, but I am trying. Hopefully someone will pick this up if he doesn't it's too Good of a Rom to not keep it going.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
This issue appears to show on multiple ROMs for Taimen besides ABC for me. I'm curious if our Pixels are just duds somewhere in the process or if there's an actual issue.

The reboot, it isn't possible to logcat or grab the last_kmsg(doesn't output for this issue) so it makes things even harder, but through trial and error on my end of strictly messing with one thing and continuing after time went on, not using CRT screen off animation stopped my random forced reboot when rotating the device.

If you clean flash and don't mess with the custom settings, you won't experience it at all, but the second you do mess with it, something triggers it to happen. Not sure what's the root of it, but that's what I've collected from my testing since no one else experienced it over the months. :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shahez:
Android 10 has released but i feel this rom is more than enough ..most notible feature is dark mode but having substratum for this rom...makes me feel its like a complete experience and i feel im not missing out on anything but not updating to android 10. What do you guys fee?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You are right, the experience with this rom is far better

However, as it is no longer updated with the monthly security updates, we cannot keep it for an indefinite time...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Not quite ready yet - still got a few things I need to resolve but stay tuned
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
But is it 10? :P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigmarv31:
Its pie, you wont see any android 10 roms for about a month or two,the code is more complex and needs time for devs to do their thing
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shahez:
I got the issue resolved for landscape video

I did the following : 1) Battery style to portrait

2)Disabled carrier logo

3)disabled custom logo

4)disabled clock on status bar

Now videos seems to play fine in landscape. But i got another issue ..sometimes my fingerprint doesnt seem to wake the phone when it is locked/doze mode. I have to press power button wake the phone than fingerprint works.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] scoredance:

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

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
I figured, was just playing. There is already a 10 rom out for another phone that's reported as being stable. I know that's not the same for us but it's promising that someone was able to do it so quickly.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
I'm liking Android 10 so far but it's a lot of work to try to get some of the features I miss from havoc using various apps/mods.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joeo10:
Might not matter, but the final pie release for Havoc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Havoc-OS 2.9 Unofficial 9/9/2019

Download

Basically the previous message for the changelog. Since Havoc-OS is now EOL for Pie, there won't be any more updates from me but enjoy this last one. I think you should be fine to dirty flash this build over official. Sorry for posting this here - it seems a bit late to start a different thread when the ROM is now EOL. Enjoy :)

Thank you for this release.

For anyone using it, did your CTS Profile change to false after updating to this? I checked Magisk and I also have the mod done to the dg.db file to prevent Google from changing the attestation flag.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
This is due to the rom having September security patch with an August build fingerprint. The build fingerprint needs to match August 1st security patch to pass cts. If you know how, you can use magisk's resetprop to change your security patch. I have made a script for this. CHANGE THE EXTENSION .txt to .sh and put it in /data/adb/serviced and give it 755 permissions and reboot. Should pass cts then.

Does anyone have a mirror download since it says it's too large to download on mobile? Trying to but its no use.

Has anyone flashed the new unofficial update? How's it working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aoaleman:
Working great, no issues here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
Works well, I do have an issue with the lock screen though. If you have ambient display on and set it to display date, alarms, weather, and so on, it doesn't display the full text of the information any longer. The text is truncated in a similar fashion to how it would be in the status bar if you have too many notifications.

It used to show all the text before, but that's a minor issue. I'm just glad we got one more release with the September security patches, so that I can remain on HavocOS Pie until Q is ready.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KC69:
Is there a September vendor out that's needed to flash also? I've searched for one and I don't see one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aoaleman:
No, looks like we stick to the August vendor.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joeo10:
Stick to the August vendor.

How about making calls? Flashing this on Friday and want to know this since the last build had problems that made it reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilal2ielli:
The only build that some people had issues with calls was BigMarv's unofficial build.

Eamo5's build works well other than that lock screen issue I mentioned.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KC69:
Working fine for me. Calls and all. I'm using Google now launcher and it doesn't have that issue. Good Ron. Can't wait for 10 to be brought to havoc. I reckon it'll be awesome. Thanks eamos for this update.

need to get a new one on my insurance, tried everything, at least i can use it but wont be able to update it or go back to stock any more..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Don't know about the USB issues, but as far as being able to get files back and forth from your computer to your phone, try MiX explorer from xda labs. It's got an FTP server option. With the FTP server turned on, you can then access your phone files from a computer over your Wi-Fi.

Misread a bit. FTP won't help with flashing back to stock, but as long as you've already got TWRP installed, then you should be able to transfer ROM and vendor files back and forth to update or flash different ROMs. Maybe if you can get yourself on a different ROM, then your USB might start working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:

You may try booting directly into download mode

Use the newest tools from google, make sure android debugging is turned on.

What does adb devices say ?

If you have root, you may need the adb key on the phone transferred to your computer to connect.

1. Update the newest google tools

2. Try to boot the phone to download mode

3. See if you can flash a factory image.

4. Try booting to the other partition

Had the same issue few months ago. Contacted Google. They replaced the USB module to the motherboard which stopped working, don't know why or how.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nlua:
For those having the "waiting for device" connection issue, did you guys try revoking the USB debugging authorizations then flipping back on USB debugging?

A pop-up to authorize should appear which I believe can be "dismissed" if accidentally tapping elsewhere to authorize like random part of screen.

You would probably know that's the case if you see your device listed in adb devices but see unauthorized next to it if I'm not mistaken.

Apologies in advance if I missed something. Just doing some late night xda reading lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kvoolk:
I tried it on 4 different computers, including a linux box I brought online just to troubleshoot the usb problem. I am certain it was a hardware issue. The repair option was mentioned one post above this one. I tried to take it to UBIF and they wouldn't fix it because they said Google won't allow them to repair phones with custom ROMs. Total catch-22 since I can't flash the factory image with a faulty USB port. I might try doing it myself one of these days since I already replaced the phone with a refurb off swappa.
