Thanks for another rapid update!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] samad.ansari:
dirty flash over the (10.22.18) build and then flash magisk right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
That should do it!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
New build - again the same problem with 'your vendor image is incorrect'. And my vendor image is correct, as allways.

Again added silly unusable recovery, not needed at all, overwriting TWRP. Who needs this? Why it isn't an option by installing ROM?

Note to the programmer - end this work, because is terrible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You need to understand that there is no separate recovery partition anymore in pixel phones because they have the a/b system partitions

Read this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Ok, even then, should be an instruction or warning - i.e. Do not reboot/Remenber to install TWRP after installing ROM. And now I'm stuck with unusable phone until I got from work and connect to my PC. And what about incorrect vendor image issue? Why other ROMs doesn't have this failure?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
You have to install the vendor.img to both slots

---------- Post added at 13:59 ---------- Previous post was at 13:51 ----------

And there is no need for access to a pc if you do it as follows:

Reboot to recovery (from system)

Install Vendor.img

Install Rom.zip

Install TWRP.zip

Reboot to recovery (from within twrp)

Install Vendor.img

Install Magisk.zip

Reboot to system

However, it is advisable to always have access to a pc when you update, and to backup everything before updating
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
You just have to love guys like you. No idea what they are doing, taking no time to read and then complaining to someone who works for free for you. Grow up.

And as a hint. You always have to flash TWRP on A/B devices. And you always had to flash vendor to both! slots on the pixel2 for a new security update. It's really beyond me how someone would complain about this two years! after the release of the phone.

First post, bottom, download folder
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 93fuelslut:
Idk understand how to download the rom zip. In the download folder, it says to enter your email for a download link. Well open the email to this, and I don't see a rom zip
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
You don't need to enter an email address in order to download the ROM zip.

Just go here and download it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...OS-v2.8-20190807-taimen-Official.zip/download

If you're on a mobile browser, click the "Try to download anyway" text.

Got it! Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Coming from DU

Do I just factory reset, or

Wipe system

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Go into file folder and delete the Android folder

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Reboot

Profit

And I don't need to flash a vendor because I just clean flashed the rom ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Vendor image has nothing to do with clean/dirty flashing. It contains the proprietary drivers the rom is built against and is thus needed. So if you are not on the August vendor you must flash it to both slots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 93fuelslut:
Should I do this before wiping and flashing rom
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
You can flash vendor Images at any time in twrp. Flash before rom. Reboot to twrp and flash again. So you have it in both slots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rrrrrrredbelly:
You don't need to wipe system
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marriedman:
This is kinda funny, I decided to come back to my Pixel 2XL because the ROM's on the Essential phone were giving me headaches. And now I'm banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why my wifi won't turn on.

As per the instructions, since I was coming from Oreo I did a flash-all.sh of taimen-pq3a.190801.002-factory-b26aa2d7.zip to upgrade to Pie.

Booted into TWRP from fastboot to install Havoc-OS-v2.8-20190807-taimen-Official.zip

Then installed twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.3.0-0.zip

Rebooted to system

Rebooted to recovery flashed TWRP

Rebooted to system and no wifi.

Did I miss a step? Thanks in advance everyone.

Did I miss a step somewhere?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carole6m:
I'm on a clean install of the latest version. Flashed vendor images on both slots. Google assistant cannot send text messages. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, both the Google app and Messages app have permissions enabled. When using Google assistant to send a text message it'll say "message couldn't be sent". Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Did you flash stock image to both slots? Do you get a vendor image warning?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marriedman:
Thanks for chiming in Benjamin! Hmmm, I did not know to do that. I thought the flash-all script did everything necessary. How do I flash the stock image to both slots? Run the script twice?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
I would fastboot flash bootloader, radio and vendor on both slots then flash and boot August stock ota. This should clear up any wifi issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marriedman:
This fixed it! Thank you so much!

I'm not gonna lie, I hate the A/B partitioning scheme. Everything was so much easier before & I see no end user benefit to it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
The benefit to the non-techy end user is that the OS can update without any interruption because it updates the other non in use partition, then when rebooted, the phone is put on the newly updated partition, then the other now non-active partition gets updated in the background.

Your right though, for us, it's nothing but a pain in the butt. And IMO, it's questionable whether the small impact it has to regular users is worth the tremendous headache it's caused the dev world.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
If that's the case, does that meant it practically doubles the needed system storage size, which would otherwise be used for additional user data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Not much. Read here if you want details https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

It's not a small impact. And the custom rom community is small, dont forget.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
So far as I understand, it's useful only once a month for software updates, that's it. I call that small.

While the dev community is small Google devices used to be considered "dev" devices and Google had always worked to make developing for them easy, this is just one more example of how they've moved away from the dev community.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wgrant:
Google is a business in it to make money in the end. Befriending the people most likely in a group to make a suggestion or advocate for their phone is a smart business move which they made. They're established enough now that it's smarter to make the experience for end user more seemless. This impacts the smaller group of custom rom users. Sucks for us but smarter for them. At least the phones can still be developed for (for now).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Indeed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] carole6m:
Can anyone confirm if you can send text messages with Google assistant? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
I also cannot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GoldElocks:
Doesn't work for me either and not on the latest Google app or latest Rom update from the other day so not sure now far back this issue goes as I haven't used this feature in a while. Possibly with the latest messages update it was borked?

Speaking of last Rom update? Has anyone found a change log or noticed any improvements or changes? I saw someone mention not as smooth as previous release and no mentions of any enhancements or fixes so have held off on flashing for now even though it doesn't feel quite right not being on the latest. Everything is running great right now so not compelled to flash the update...yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
I'm on the 8/6 version and it's working good for me. I didn't bother flashing the 8/7 release because as you said there was no change log posted so I didn't see the point.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KC69:
It changes from 2.7 to 2.8 on the 8/7 update. I found the changelog on telegram. And it's working fine for me. Thank you Slothdabski fer keeping us up to date.

Can I request for two features in your next update

1) long screenshot

2)dual sim support (esim +physical sim )

Hi I'm unable remove it disable the gallery app which came with the phone..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Delete the APK/folder from system app. That's what I do.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Esim has worked fine for me. I'm assuming others oh physical sim are using that setup as well. Is yours not working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shahez:
I'm staying in Dubai not US ..also here iPhone has esim support from carriers ..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Flacko89:
Yeah I just flashed the rom again and now it works
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
And specifically for our device, kernel updates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] deeproot:
how do you replace the vendor.img when this rom rplaced my twrp with some weird havoc reocvery?

Im working without a usb cable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
That's not vendor, that's the boot image in A/B devices. You need to always flash twrp installer. Do some reading
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
For updating without a PC, you can do it as follows:

Reboot to recovery (from system)

Install Vendor.img

Install Rom.zip

Install TWRP.zip

Reboot to recovery (from within twrp)

Install Vendor.img

Install Magisk.zip

Reboot to system

Since you didn't follow this process and you didn't flashed TWRP.zip, you have to use a USB cable next time to boot into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and follow the above process

Desperate help!!!

I just recently got a Pixel 2XL and got me astonishing, but I haven't found the way to install Havoc OS...in fact I think I bricked.... Hope somebody can help me.

When I got it, it was on beta of Android Q, so what I just did was to open bootloader and flash TWRP, when I tried to flash Havoc Rom, a message came up with something related to digest and I couldn't install.

I don't really know what I did after that but my phone now didn't boot. All I got is the G screen and a lock down the G and bootloop....I can't get the image on Sideload, I can't install anything, TWRP flash doesn't allow me to charge any file and when I try to do on the stock recovery I get the Havoc 2.7 recovery message at the bottom of the screen... I just can't install the ROM and can't get to stock either.

What are the steps to get Havoc on this awesome phone? Please help me
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] slothdabski:
You are likely having problems bc going from Q back to pie requires wiping your internal storage, not just /data. It sounds like you could flash q factory image, removing the -w flag to prevent your data from getting wiped. Then boot back in to q, back everything up, flash pie factory image (leaving the -w on so you get wiped), then flash havoc and restore everything you backed up
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] omair2005:
Unless there's someone to pick these projects up, all the threads should be locked
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
People will still be using Havoc even though it's not being developed anymore. IMO, they should still have a place to talk about it.

Maybe something big and red at the top of the first post about the fact that the OP is no longer monitoring the thread and that the ROM is no longer being updated would be in order..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Subhojit:
Havoc for Pixel 2XL is dead. Time to move on.

Certainly no rom will get as close as this.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Thank you for all your work

You will not build anymore for taimen because you don't have the necessary time or because you don't have the device anymore?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wrongway213:
...is there a difference? He's not gonna build for Taimen anymore. The info we need as users has been made completely clear to us.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
There could be potentially a difference

I do not know the process of building the rom, how automated it is, and how much time it takes

If the rom building process is fairly automated and it the discontinuance of building is not a matter of the time/effort it takes to the maintainer but only because the device is no longer available, then we all could potentially contribute a small amount each to purchase a new taimen for the maintainer

What's your opinion on this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wrongway213:
He moved on to Crosshatch, that he will be building for and told us this. You're suggesting we all buy him another version of his old phone he won't be using anymore so he can still build for it? I think that's ridiculous and delusional like many of the requests I see people make of maintainers.. these kinds of ideas - like thinking someone would want to specifically test on and build on an old device just to build more ROMs for users - is why you'll see "former" or "retired" next to my name in anything Android. I lost patience for this kind of stuff - so I call it out when I see it so it doesn't push the next Dev away.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Maybe you need to calm down a bit and try not lose patience so easily

(try taking a deep breath for a start)

It's just a proposal, nobody forces anybody to do anything. And the proposal is meaningful only if the building process is quite automated and it doesn't take lot's of time and effort

The maintainer was offering a service to us users, obviously with nothing to gain, and he wasn't building that many different taimen roms for personal use obviously, it was an offer to the community

I would suggest that you permit him to answer to my proposal himself

And in any case, even if this great rom is no longer maintained, we thank him for all the effort until now
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wrongway213:
I'd propose you stop making stupid and entitled offers and learn to build yourself or simply take what's available and shut up like everyone else. Agree to disagree :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nikos2k:
Do you think that you provide some new information by stating the option to build it myself ?

I don’t know if you have a personal stake in this, but anyway if you have only useless information to offer, please refrain from replying to me
