Hmm dirty flash, correct? I wonder if clean install fixes it unless it's a rom bug

Yep dirty flashed.

Hi can any one confirm if call screening is working on this ROM on December release ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
It is ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
What feature are you referring to? All I can think of is swipe for notifications which is working for me (using fingerprint scanner to swipe down for the notification panel. Where is the swipe away notifications with fingerprint scanner?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
...in the same place you enable swipe down for notifications?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] semakawa:
Yes, but doble tap to check notifications is always off and can't turning on. I know that with ex kernel manager i can activate DT2W but normaly we can seting it up from the rom settings in other roms.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Installed the latest version

Everything works great, except there is no option appearing in notifications when I connect it to the office through USB for the type of connection, for files transfer etc

Any suggestion?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] a_khusairi:
I have the same issue, disable Android Debugging on Developer Option, USB Type Of Connection is Working again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Yep; definitely a little bug, but disabling ADB solved the issue. Don't forget to reenable when your done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Subhojit:
Damn! Dirty flashed new build + twrp zip, rebooted to twrp, flashed magisk and device is unresponsive

Tried again, device got stuck on twrp loading

wiped everything except internals and flashed the files and still wont even load twrp

just the splash screen.

:/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
Cool! Thanks for showing me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chopt51:
That sucks. Maybe a bad download? I reflashed Dec vendor. ROM and twrp. It was on b slot. Rebooted to twrp and reflashed Dec vendor and 18 magisk. Took a bit in the splash screen but I'm back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Try to install twrp.zip on the second go, just before magisk.zip

So first install rom, reboot to system, reboot to bootloader (power button, advance reboot), boot twrp.img, install twrp.zip and magisk.zip
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Juzman:
Use deuce script to flash stock december

Flashed ROM and set up

Booted TWRP > Flashed TWRP

Reboot to recovery

Flashed EX 1.09 + Magisk 18

Booted

Running like a charm.

Anyone got Viper working on the latest release? The usually zip isn't working for me...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
Working fine for me, are you on the latest (in Magisk Manager)? What error is it giving you?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Yeah latest magisk. It's strange, as updating roms usually is fine but this time I get no processing or the driver failing to install. I'm trying to use the latest Viper FX one, and usually I just install with no issues. Do you need any additional modules for it to work? I even tried installing as a user app, no no luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SageWilliams:
Anyone have an issue with black text in certain apps, like the now playing history, when using the dark theme?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
I've had the not processing issue after updating the module. Uninstalling it and doing a fresh install fixes it for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
It helps if I remove module (along with audio modification library) and remove Viper4android folder on sd card. Then reflash again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
I followed a similar process, just dirty-flashed (so run flash-all.bat with wipe flag removed, instead of deuce's script) and kept kirisakura which has wakeup gestures as well so it works for me.

And it works great
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Yakusha:

I am having the issue of no audio on either end of phone calls as well. It has fixed itself temporarily but ends up occurring again at some point. I have tried dirty flashing and reboots. What kind of logs can I provide?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Anyone else having issue of magisk 18 stopping working periodically? Happens every day or two and need to reflash magisk zip in twrp.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Works fine here
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Works fine here too. And all the other bugs and problems folks have... I guess I am lucky. For weeks now using Havoc OS. Always dirty flashing all updates, flashing latest magisk and vendor images, debloating Google apps using SD maid pro. No other magsik modules, no substratum. Always latest TWRP, always removing fingerprint before flashing updates. No problems here at all. Everything is running smooth. Best Android experience I ever had.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

OK, now it happened to me too. I uninstalled v18.0 and went back to 17.3, with which I had no problems.

After removing magisk the OS showed a message that there are google pixel updates - I should enable wifi and update. Never saw that system message before on Havoc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram31363:
Coming from the first HAVOC Dec img (all working):

Followed these instructions using fastboot wo/-w and got my annoying little roaming "R" back and no custom carrier (maybe more missing but I stopped there).

This is driving me nuts.

I reverted back to the fastboot install (flash-all wo -w) on both slots and booted into Google's Pie.

I want to get back to HAVOC but can't find a way to do it wo/flash-all and rebuild.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
So now you are on stock December pie?

Reboot to bootloader

Fastboot Boot twrp.img

Install havoc.zip

Reboot to system

Reboot to bootloader

Fastboot Boot twrp.img

Install twrp.zip

Install magisk.zip

Reboot to system

My phone acting weird . Reboots and hangs randomly .. can't grab a logcat since I don't have a computer ATM. Flashed clean flash . Flash.all/sh anyone else ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You could try a different kernel, to make sure it's not kernel related

Havoc has kirisakura kernel

Try caesium, ex, or sultan's
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:
Yes I will try that! Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram31363:
Yes on Dec Pie

Followed the guidance you provided (THANK YOU I truly appreciate it)

Still no luck same results, going back to GPie....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
Anyone tried photosphere? Trying to see if it's kernel related or the rom... I'm on Ex
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
Just tried it, works for me. What's the problem?

Edit: Noticed that it didn't finish processing. Had to restart the phone to get the notification that it was processing the image to go away.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
Yeah mine will start taking the picture (line up blue dots), then when you hit the check mark it just doesn't create the image. If I go into photos, it shows up that is processing, then eventually it disappears, never fully creating the image... What kernel are you on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
Mine froze after I hit the check mark but I went to recents then back in and it was there, photos showed it without a thumbnail image and once I restarted the phone it removed it because processing never completed. I'm on the built in kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toakster:
Sounds like the same thing that's happening on mine. Two different kernels same issue. Anyone else?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrPariah:
Hey guys, been on the forums for a bit but this is my first comment.

I need a little help flashing this rom, for some reason every time I try to do it through TWRP it skips the digest file and then gets stuck on "Step 1/2" until the screen goes black and unresponsive.

Turning it back on using a force reboot it just halts at the google screen, and I need to flash the phone to stock for it to boot up.

I, wiped cach/dalvik, and everything else besides internal storage before trying to flash Havoc and TWRP.

The phone is completely stock when I attempt to flash Havoc and so i'm genuinely confused as to why it gets stuck during the flashing process.

Any help is appreciated, really wanna have a different rom for once as opposed to just a different kernel :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
After how many seconds?

Are you sure it's not the screen saver feature of TWRP?

First thing to do in twrp is to disable this on settings tab
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrPariah:
You're right it was the screensaver feature, was completely unaware that it was a thing.

Managed to get it installed successfully now.

I've got another issue now however, for some reason when I plug my photo into my computer I don't get the notification about the usb plugged in so I can change it to file transfer or no file transfer so I can send adb commands.

Any idea what could have caused it to disappear?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
It seems there is a bug and you have to disable Android debugging from developer options in order to have the options for file transfer
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrPariah:
Correct, when I disable android debugging the notification comes.

But because USB debugging is turned off, I can't do any adb commands any idea what the issue could be and the solution?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
When you boot TWRP, disable the screen time-out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
No idea of the root cause of the issue, it may be a rom related bug, or a change in December system update by Google.

Afaik the solution for the moment is to disable Android debugging just before a file transfer and enable it after that
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Until it's fixed in an update, just leave it in what ever state you use it most. Then switch it temporarily for the other usage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
So did you just use the newest magisk uninstaller zip and then flash 17.3?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrPariah:
ADB commands still work when I reboot into the bootloader so its fine.

Thank you so much for your help!

If u mean the SwipeUp gestures, instead of the combination of stock navbar with the Swipe Up gestures, better try Fling which is much more customizable and it definitely works

just clean flashed the latest version but cant set my ringtone because it doesnt show up in the list.

Does anyone know of a way to completely replace peeking notifications with the ticker?

I tried turning off peeking/heads up notifications and just leaving ticker on, however, not every notification comes through.

It would be cool to have just ticker style notifications for everything since it's way less intrusive! Thanks in advance:)

Anyone having issues with Viper ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
[MENTION=6864870]slothdabski[/MENTION] I have the same issue. 2 scenarios:

1) Usb debugging disabled. The notification that allows us to choose usb modes appear (file transfer, ptp, no data transfer, etc). Phone is charging via usb at 900mA.

2) Usb debugging enabled. The notification that allows us to choose usb modes doesn't appear, and I can't change to e.g. file transfer. Phone is charging via usb at 100mA.

I think this started with the 12.11.18 build. On the 12.04.18 build, if Usb debugging is enabled, the notification that allows us to choose usb modes still appear, and phone is charging via usb at 900mA.

When I have issues, I uninstall reboot and reinstall. Also with Dolby, the magisk 23rd one, I install viper reboot, then Dolby reboot, and then audio modification library reboot. When I update one of these I uninstall all of them, reboot, and repeat. I hope this can help.

I have a question about dirty flashing,

Is it not recommended to flash the TWRP zip after flashing the ROM zip?

I normally have always done this with no issues until recently. Now, if I flash TWRP after the ROM, I get the device corrupt error and my phone refuses to boot. Just loops back to the corrupt message and bootloader unlocked message.

Seems like flashing the ROM zip, then fastboot booting TWRP and then installing TWRP is the only way I can get the device to boot.

Any info on this would be appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Flash magisk after flashing twrp then reboot and if you still get the same issue, then try switching slots and reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You have found the way to make it always work

So what's the problem? [emoji3]

Are the doze settings baked into the rom effected by apps like naptime?

Are they compatible together or does one override the other?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
Yeah also you can always just try flashing stock rom and it should remove that warning too

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rickysidhu_:
So I think I figured out the dirty flash process in terms of the issues I was having. It seems a couple of other users have dealt with the same thing as well.

Installing the ROM zip and TWRP zip after a clean flash works fine. However, flashing the ROM zip and TWRP zip after a dirty flash causes issues.

If the ROM zip and TWRP zip are flashed one after the other (on a dirty flash), a device is corrupt message will show and the device will not boot into the OS.

If the same steps are taken as above, with the addition of the Magisk zip, the device will no longer show the device corrupt message, however, the boot animation will run endlessly.

The solution seems to be (as far as my knowledge goes) is to flash just the ROM zip on a dirty flash, then fastboot boot the TWRP.img file, and then the TWRP zip, custom kernel & Magisk.

Just thought I'd share this in case existing or newcomers to this ROM experience similar issues!

My dirty flashing process is disable all subs overlays, reboot to twrp, flash rom and twrp zip and wipe cache, reboot directly to recovery and flash magisk then reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rickysidhu_:
Hmm, strange. I wonder why I have issues doing exactly as you stated. Nonetheless I can still dirty flash as long as I don't flash TWRP after and fastboot boot and then install it after a first reboot with just the ROM flash.

This is a method I have not tried and will give it a shot soon, thanks for sharing it!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chopt51:
I've had so many problems dirty flashing. Where I had to adb the whole phone and start fresh. I listened to the OP one day. Followed what he said and it worked. I do it the same way every time now.

Reboot to Recovery.

I couldn't get 4G to consistently work wo/complete fastboot with complete flash-all G-Pie.

That's the primary reason I through in the towel.

In fact it kept telling me I was "R" roaming when in fact I was not.
