[Xposed General] jiejiao:
Because of some features of xposed, some apps can't be opened.

I want to pay to change the xposed development jar package and some other things about xposed features.

Including here:

The Xposed XposedBridge XposedInstaller source code above github.

For the time being only support Android 6.0, 7.0, 7.1 and arm and arm64

Do not know if there is a specific solution?

I will pay some compensation.
[Xposed General] onetik:
Perhaps hire a dedicated developer (expensive) if you need it for your business/mission-critical applications. If it's a hobby thing, I think you'd be better served by getting your hands dirty and contributing to the project the features you're requesting.

Wow, it's been ages since having to flash a separate Gapps package.. but I think I did something wrong? Flashed rom, rebooted TWRP, flash Gapps and booted. Booting went well.. But no setup and nothing Gapps related installed.. What did I miss? In TWRP when flashing the ROM it showed Partition A.. If I try to flash Gapps while in the same session it gives me error 1.. So I reboot TWRP.. then shows me in Partition B ... So I flash Gapps, boot, and no Google setup. Should I flash everything to each partition?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
the first time i flashed i got a pixel services keeps crashing message that wouldnt even let me set up the phone.... then i tried to flash according to the instructions in op first post and i got an error message in the same session so i rebooted and had the same crash after i flashed gapps ...

i then downloaded open gapps micro and flashed rom>> flashed twrp >> rebooted>> flashed open gapps micro >> rebooted and set up... so far no issues... and phone is running great... after i set up my account i then flashed custom kernel and finally magisk with no issues.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
Thos flashing instructions dont pertain to the pixel series. If you follow them then you will end up with no recovery , and also you cannot flash gapps in the same slot in the same session. You must reboot and flash gapps.

GravityBox or MicroG for Bliss?

Hi,

I'm getting ready to try a ROM on my phone. The last one I tried, I was flummoxed by the dual slot setup and ended up having to find Deuce's scripts - which saved my a**. I have MicroG on my Moto X Pure and am quite happy with it, so I'm considering putting it on my daily driver.

Does anybody here have experience with MicroG on this ROM? I'm using NanoDroid on the X. Also, with the stock ROM, I am able to use GravityBox (beta 5-8) on EdXposed. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will work with this ROM? I know my X has trouble with it on LineageOS 16.

Thanks!

Like all ROMs, in TWRP: factory reset, flash ROM, then TWRP zip. Boot into ROM, setup then reboot to TWRP to flash Magisk if you want root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Roger.T:
Remember. In the current versions the Gapps are included in the ROM.

No need to flash other gapps, otherwise the ROM does not boot [emoji6]

No problem here..

Started with August Factory Image and then tried out 3 different ROMs.

Back in TWRP and Magisk 19.3 flashed..

Everything is perfect and running. No need to delete the system partition before ?

two things to make the rom perfect:

2. aod flicker if it's set to always show when screen goes off. it works ok if it's set to double tap or pick up phone gestures.

I hope these are easy fix, love the rom btw :)

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
There's some different ways to do this,

I usually format data then flash the ota in twrp with a type c OTG

Or flash-all with the -w

If you're comfortable with fastboot commands just flash bootloader, radio then vendor on both slots then

Fastboot update (taimen.img) this is the folder you get after extracting the factory image.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Problem exists. Installing ROM your way made my vendor image damaged and system turned to permanent bootloop.

So this is antoher faulty work just to annoy users. Had to re-install my system from scracth.

I need some input. I did a clean install on December image. First time, I couldn't get past Google boot image. I switched slots and flashed again and booted up. This time it got to bliss boot image, but it stayed that way for over 10 minutes. Any suggestions? Thanks for your assistance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigmarv31:
It's funny you got it to happen to you too,I noticed when clean flashing I fastboot flash twrp img then do a factory reset then go into advanced wipe and wipe everything except storage and internal storage then flash rom and twrp and hit reboot then it doesn't go past the Google screen so I follow the same steps I just mentioned then hit reboot and it boots right up,I found it very weird!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
So if i understand you correctly after your first attempt failed, you went back to twrp, did a factory reset, went into advanced wipe and wiped everything except storage and internal storage (you wiped system? I understood you weren't supposed to wipe system with our partition system), then flashed the rom and twrp installer and hit reboot. If that is the sequence that worked for you, I'll try it again. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigmarv31:
Yes sir,I was trying to figure out why it didn't boot on the 1st attempt so I went back and went through the same steps again and it booted,I found it to be strange but it worked,and we are lucky that twrp works cause I believe that it was never 100% stable even when it was used for Oreo and Pie.
