I'm also possibly interested in maintaining this ROM. I pretty much decided I'm going to keep my Pixel 2 XL for as long as possible. So, it'd be really nice to be able to rock Havoc with Android 10.

Would you be willing to act as a guide or teacher for questions? In the past, I have released publicly two different ROMs. But it's been a long time and everything has changed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
Updated Havoc device trees would be great. Only Pie available in the device tree for taimen right now so can't build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Knxed_:
This has probably been addressed before but why is it that when the phone is on standby, I try to turn the phone on and the screen doesn't turn on at all or has a ridiculous delay. I have to force shut down the phone to get it working again. It's really annoying to keep going through this problem is there any kind of fix to stop this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
So I have been trying to get a build setup but have been having some issues. Basically I have Hovoc sources and device trees but taimen hasn't been updated so that's one issue. I did find updated Havoc trees for taimen but can't figure out how to get the build to start or finish without errors lol. Got a beast of a laptop to work with but need help getting it going since I am a noob when it comes to building. Hopefully I will figure it out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
I also encountered a few build issues but was able to resolve them all. I've built a few 3.0 engineering builds, but none boot yet. I'll try and look more into it on the weekend when I can afford to wipe my phone again and start debugging again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
If you need any help let me know. Yeah, was really just trying to do a person build to see if I can learn something new. I have the right hardware to build quickly and tons of SSD space.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ird0:
Since this rom is dead, is there a way I can switch back to stock without having to factory reset and lose all my data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tejkumarvusirikala:
No, You cant..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You could always try fastbooting the factory image with the -w removed to both slots which should return you to stock without loosing data. I've done that a few times myself with the P2XL in it's early days :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] devanshu99:
You can , I was on havoc os pie before now I m on stock android 10 , i flashed bootloader and radio of android 10 from fastboot method and then pull system vendor and boot images from the stock android 10 zip and then flash these images in twrp , now I have no issue from last 10 days and not lost my data .
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ird0:
Could you give me a guide on how to do this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] devanshu99:
Juts unzip the stock firmware and pull out system vendor and boot images . then put these three images in ur internal storage , and then flash these images from TWRP recovery
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 93fuelslut:
Stupid question but I've borked my phone before

How do you restore a backup with these a/b partitions?

Google now isn't working, so I want to clean flash again and see if that fixes. And if not, just hit restore of Havoc
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
[MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION] any luck on figuring out the build issues for Havoc? I still haven't figured out my build errors or if I got the structure setup properly.

Hey guys is anyone having an issue setting live universe wallpapers for any launcher? It for some reason it keeps saying app isn't installed but it says the wallpaper app is installed via settings and play store. Any help would be much appreciated
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Try granting storage permission to Google wallpaper app. I just checked and mine was not enabled by default
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:

Have you tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it through the play store
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
It is not, I'll remove it. I copied thread template from op6 thread and they had it listed for some reason
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] darkoj2007:
I had the same issue with live wallpapers. also I can't install kwlp from playstore, it says that my device isn't compatible with this version. probably it's the same issue described above. also dark theme isn't working properly, qs panel is white, black working good though :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shindiggity:
Don't think so, I can't find it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Dam, that was the main reason I flashed this one and was really looking forward to having Smartbar! Oh well, happy enough with the other features.

Thank you!

then it should work.

not sure if im going to incorporate into builds at this point

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Toutatis_:
I had the exact same issue yesterday after a clean flash (Nexus 6P / other ROM than Havoc). Never had this issue before. I had smart pixels enabled and display size set to smaller. I couldn't find any solution (rebooting the device, uninstalling the VPN app, disabling any substratum overlay etc.) and ended up doing another clean flash. I got a logcat, the only relevant error was "bad call / wrong UID" with the VPN app I was using.

Setting up the VPN connection was the very first thing I did after the second clean flash and this time around I could finally press "OK" to allow the VPN connection. I didn't think about switching back to normal display size and turning off smart pixels before starting over.

I'm curious to know if that solved the problem on your side.

Hey! What do I lose if I switch to this from stock ROM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Mainly active edge. You still get all camera features and unlimited photo backup
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sjpritch25:
Okay thanks. Is there a way for it to be added in the next build. The ROM is fantastic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
Nope, no rom has it. It's not open source and no one has reverse engineered it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sjpritch25:
Oh, I didn't realize that. So ill have to root phone to have it. Okay.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ShynizZ.:
I think you don't understand. It is NOT open-source, which means you won't get it in any way. It's a feature Google's chosen not to share.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
For what it's worth, I personally only use the squeeze function with edge sense for the "kill active app" option. As long as a custom Rom has "back to kill" I will not miss the squeeze. When deciding if you wanna try a Rom or not, do some honest soul searching as to what you are getting from the custom firmware vs. losing the squeeze.

Hey guys I have one question I still have problem with rotation of the screen but UI will crash .

I want to continue using this rom even on 9.0 I don't see much upgrade to 10.

Any suggestions will be appreciated
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You have to either get some other rom or get another device

I as well still use this rom and haven't upgraded to stock 10 as i consider this mostly a downgrade, comparing stock 10 to havoc 9

But we can't stay forever on a version without new security updates

I was intending to get Pixel 4 but it seems it's not as good as it seemed from the initial leaks

(And it has a non competitive price comparing to other similar devices)

I'm thinking of getting OnePlus 7 Pro, which has 90Hz screen as Pixel 4, and is much more supported than pixels from havoc developers, as the head Dev is the maintainer for OnePlus devices
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
I'm tempted the same way but nervous that OnePlus 7 Pro camera will end up disappointing me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
I'm trying too to understand whether the camera of oneplus is indeed inferior

Pixel 4 does not have an wide lens camera as google considered that the telephoto is more useful

Also, they considered that the users do not need 4K@60fps

(possibly considering that the in-device storage space of 64GB/128GB is small, coupled with the fact that there is no microSD, and no free space at original-quality in google photos)

DXOMARK ranks OnePlus 7 Pro higher than Pixel 4:

[IMG="dxomark ranking"]https://i.imgur.com/GjQ0H1C.png[/IMG]

[IMG="OnePlus 7 Pro"]https://i.imgur.com/Eo90QAS.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Pixel 4"]https://i.imgur.com/S3CmtAk.png[/IMG]

I don't know if the testing results are indeed representative of the reality, but in any case, since pixel's photos are mostly the result of software, we may be able to use a GCAM port with oneplus7pro in order to take advantage of google's advanced algorithms

What do you think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cerj:
I'm running stock 10 on my p2xl and miss this rom badly. The few changes that are in 10 that I've noticed are not game chargers in any sense, but I'm theming Android 10 and need to have it.

I got my 7 pro a few weeks ago and the camera is pretty darn good, it's not a pixel cam but very good. The device is big and heavier than the p2xl, in fact my p2xl with a case is smaller than the screen of my 7 pro. The screen is incredible the device looks and feels like a premium phone and the op7 pro is so fast and fluid. There are many custom roms, tweaks and mods that have been out for months, so no waiting for that. The Havoc Dev Anushek "Shady" is dropping updates for the 7 pro all the time and oneplus keeps up with Google as for as security patch updates go, but they also are constantly adding new features and perfecting their OS, so they update a lot. I'm a big fan of oneplus and Havoc and you can't go wrong pairing them up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Besides the Google camera, is there any feature of Pixel 2 XL that is missing in OnePlus 7 Pro?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Not So Pro:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cerj:
No squeeze for assistant, and oneplus adds a few tweaks and mods found in custom roms along the lines of statusbar battery choices, and double tap and long press options for navbar. It has system light and dark choices and unlimited accent options too.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You can try, but most probably you will need to have the Android 9 version, on which this rom is based

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
The maintener of the official release of this rom doesn't have this device any longer and doesn't maintain this rom

So the last official release of Havoc for this device is as of last August, and it seems that it will remain this way

So if you want to have this rom, you have the following options:

- Keep this last version without any updates

- Move on to Pixel 3 XL

- Move on to Pixel 4 XL (when TWRP and custom roms are released)

- Decide that you have had enough of Pixels and choose another device such as OnePlus 7 Pro which is actively supported by Havoc rom devs

It's a GSI, there's no device specific features.

On my moto z I just flash the official lineage16 Rom then install the GSI to the system image. Factory reset then boot it up.

I know there's a fastboot method for pixels but it would be better through TWRP.

Same with nandroid backup, I had once tried to restore a backup and didn't work

So as a second way out, i backup everything first (google backup, titanium, viber/ whatsapp backup, etc), and transfer titanium backups to PC. Of course this ritual takes time, and a restore from these will take time as well, but i prefer it from setting up everything from scratch [emoji2]

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
That seems like something they should put in the beginning of the flashing process, not afterwards. Like oh by the way, if it f***ed up, you should have done this other thing that you would have never known about first.

In any event, thanks for posting that because I would not have read that far before trying it out. You may have saved me some headache.

I'm copying over the files from my phone to my PC (about an hour or so). Once that's done I'll give it a shot. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
