Is substratum commits for q available?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Thanks for the nice ROM. Only nitpicky thing I noticed is with aod turned off, when I double tap to check time the lock screen turns on instead of ambient display.

Is it 10 android or 9?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kvoolk:
Installed the 20200104 build yesterday. I did a clean install by first applying the Google December Image (flash-all.bat with wipe). I too got a bootloop when I didn't wipe system in TWRP the first time. But the second try worked great. So far the ROM exceeds expectations. I was waiting for this release before jumping to 10.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shell66666:
People mod 20200104 is Android 9 or Android 10

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

I am from Russia, I don’t know the language well, so I ask if this is 10 android, write down on the points how to install. I am writing through Google translator I'm sorry if there are errors.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
It is Android 10. It needs to be clean flashed over December image. In TWRP, do factory reset; flash rom and twrp installer, reboot. If you want root, reboot to recovery and flash magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shell66666:
Thank you very much for the information. Hello from Russia.

Flashed the latest and getting an unresponsive touch screen a few minutes after booting in the OS. Can click on notifications but opening apps with launcher or setting menu doesn't work. If you let it sit you start to get screen flickering.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] itslels:
This happened to me on the last build as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Same for me as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] khavkhd:
Definitely didn't follow the right steps twosome of you above. Flash Jan factory image to both slots>Boot TWRP> Factory Reset>Flash Rom>Flash TWRP>Boot to system

Flash Magisk and Kernels after . You do that I promise you will not have any issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
This is how I install (and I have one of the crazy pixel 2 XLs that bootloops a lot), but using the method below works flawlessly across all ROMs (9 and 10).

I just tested this on the latest official 9 Bliss (before becoming 10 beta), and the 10 beta versions.

My process is this, first I switch to slow-a, then I flash the official Google firmware for whatever the date is on the ROM (UNLESS dev states otherwise and/or to use a different firmware), for example, if the ROM was released in August/Sept 2019 (which the last Bliss was 9/20/2019), I flash the firmware for Google, August 2019 (which was the LAST before 10 so I knew this was the right vendor/firmware). I flash to BOTH slots WITH the wipe to BOTH slots.

I backup data prior to PC of course (with backing up MMS/TXT use carbonite which saves to XML) and then copying the entire SD (Pixel 2 storage) to my laptop and compare the stats (to ensure I captured everything).

I edit the flash-all.bat and pull out the lines, 1 at a time in a CMD windows with ADB and the firmware in focus (CD'd to that directory or path), boot, radio, then system all taken directly from the batch file with rebooting to bootloader from the device after each line completes. I watch the 3rd line as thats the one that wipes, then reboots, and immediately after the first slot is completed, it reboots to OS (but we dont want that to happen yet), so I am watching and waiting for that step. As soon as I see the vendors flash, I get ready to catch the process and about to hold volume down+power the very second it reboots. As soon as it reboots, I am holding power+volume down so it catches the reboot and enters bootloader again. At this point the first firmware has completely flashed slot-a. Then (back in bootloader), I switch to slot B through ADB, redo the entire thing, line by line (copied from the batch), let it boot into OS, no pin, go right through the setup without setting anything (no Google, no pin, nothing). Then for extra safety, I enable dev options just in case and turn off, apply update on reboot, then copy ROM/TWRP to internal SD (Pixel storage) from my PC, fastboot into twrp, flash the twrp installer zip I just copied, then do a twrp factory reset with the swipe bar, then flash ROM zip, then flash twrp again and let it boot into system. At that point it boots and I will setup the device, then install just the magisk app. Within magisk, I choose install, patch boot image (boot.bin was extracted from payload.bin), then fastboot flash boot WHATEVER.magisk.bin in bootloader again, then boot OS, go to Magisk, and all is done.

No issues, BUT before I started using this method, I would have bootloop issues across the board with pretty much ALL ROMs. Hope helps cut down on the issues and for me, it works with 9 and 10. I havent bootlooped since using this process.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
Yes, I am already on January and have flashed countless Roms and haven't had an issue when doing so. Vendor, bootloader, and radio are all updated and wiped clean before installation. Boot TWRP> Factory Reset>Flash Rom>Flash TWRP>Boot to system Flash Magisk and Kernels and still have the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
That was my identical process. although, I didn't flash another kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
I didn't fastboot stock first but hardly do unless I do something stupid and get stuck with the corruption message lol. Been flashing for 10 plus years and on this Pixel since day one and haven't ran into an issue with just wiping in Twrp and flashing a new ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I know for my Pixel 2 XL, I always have to flash stock Google firmware completely on both slots before I will get any custom ROM to boot, otherwise it reboots to bootloader (or sometimes TWRP). The process I laid out 3 posts back, works for me every time, without a hiccup. I know its more work than normal users are willing to do, but I never lose a bit of data, nor have issues with bootloops (plus I always know the device's core structure is sound because Google's wipe fixes everything), but I DO use the -w (wipe) which deletes everything (so BACKUP DATA FIRST if you go my route). If it were me, and I was having this issue, I would most definitely revert to Google Firmware, clean up my pixel 2 and start over. Betcha it works if you reset the stock firmware on both slots.

Build working good other then the screen going unresponsive and flashing. Thought the lock screen security fixed it but had to reboot once so far since because of the issue presenting itself again. Reboot did fix the issue but still sucks that it keeps happening. Build is dope other then that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kvoolk:
I am running the 20200126 build as well. No issues whatsoever. The screen does flash once when I lock the phone but it doesn't become unresponsive.

Having a huge issue on taimen: When I had to power off the phone and turned it back on it's stuck on the homescreen and can't scroll. Also can't swipe up either. Just clean flashed the current build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gforceriders:
Yeah, there's an issue where if you don't set lock screen security on the setup of the phone it will do that. If you set it at the beginning you will not have that problem but once in a while it will become unresponsive and you will have to reboot to fix it. I have been living with it since I really like how this Rom runs and the extras baked in. Hopefully it will be figured out and fixed soon.

Firstly I want to say this rom is amazing and thank you for all the hard work! I hope the issue with the lockscreen going unresponsive is taken care of soon. I really want to daily driver this thing! What's the battery life like?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pablo9023:
But how to flash? Step by step instructions please. Gapps needed? thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Flash it like any other rom.

Update both slots to February

-Factory reset

-Flash ROM+TWRP

-Reboot system

Gapps are included
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] REV3NT3CH:
Just set a pin or pattern and freezing wont happen. It is being looked into though
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jewnersey:
Weird. I only see it when charging
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
I'll change the OP to reflect the pixel phones..and I'm changing the gapps package back to opengapps since mindthegapps doesn't work anymore and opengapps stopped saying this was built with gapps built-in, which was why we switched to mindthegapps in the first place
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Updated OP with opengapps and added instructions for pixel devices.. Not much changed just added booting into TWRP and then flashing the TWRP installer to keep custom recovery
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
**

Flash Bliss Rom

Flash * TWRP installer zip

Reboot to recovery **

Flash OpenGapps

Boot 1 time to welcome screen either set up or reboot recovery

Flash kernel ( if needed )

Flash root option

Reboot .

Done
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Updated OP with newest build. officially changed gapps to opengapps instead of mindthegapps, flashing instructions are different with every device so im going to keep the updated instructions since all pixel 2 xl's are different.. for me what i do is flash ROM, wipe data, flash TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash opengapps, reboot, and if there isnt a startup, open app drawer and click on the play store to initiate startup, log in to google account and allow install of previous apps, let apps install, then reboot to recovery and flash root option and custom kernel if you want. i will not put this description in the OP as, like I said all Pixel 2 XL's are different, but i will make sure anyone who has issues can PM me or post in here if theyre having issues... New build includes all recent commits
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
The Pixel 2 XL camera APK mod can be used for this ROM, that's good.

What apps are used for system apps as gallery, dialer and contacts?

What is the source? for every new ROM I ask this, because I want AOSP stuff or such, not that dialer and contact app that is updated via Play Store

and Google Photos as gallery ... I just don't like that stuff.

Thanks to the devs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Um...if you read the OP, you'll know the source is AOSP based not lineage or any other...and if you don't want to use gapps, the system apps are all AOSP yet blissified, to make them our own...personally I use our dialer rather than the gapps dialer..our system apps get updated as soon as the AOSP apps get updated..but I'd recommend using gapps since you won't have the play store if you dont
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Updated OP to include link to Pixel 3 XL camera with all working modes..link is also here:

https://goo.gl/TNiqkJ

Happy flashing!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
There are other ROMs for taimen where the op says that it's based on AOSP but the system apps such as dialer and contacts are stock. That's why I ask. I could flash a nano or micro gapps pack then just to have play store and nothing else. Thanks for your reply, Sir.

Is anyone else having a problem with data? I'm on Verizon and the 4G won't stay even after I reset the radios..... Is it an APN thing? When I do the *#*#4636#*#* and check provisioning its not provisioned. No VOLTE but not sure if that's possible at this point either.

This is really a great ROM thank you

I'm using this without gapps because I really like this rom without all the Google stuff ?

You need to remove the other google camera you may have installed in your phone..since it came from the pixel 3 xl, it has the same name as any google camera you may have installed..if you need help installing it after trying what I said, I can use vysor and teamviewer to help you install it...cause this camera is the ****

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
This morning I flashed Bliss on my taimen after going full stock with latest factory image.

Bliss runs smooth and fast. Customization options could be more, but it's OK.

I am using Bliss included kernel, Latest Magisk, opengapps pico and I deleted "digital wellbeing" from system apps (as I always do without problems).

Coming from nitrogen OS there are things I like and some I dislike.

Problems:

- The Pixel 3 camera mod APK as system camera takes long to apply the HDR+ effect after shooting a photo

- sound quality in calls is not that good (better on nitrogen OS)

- developers options FC settings on entering them (log attached)

- normal fast fade display off to standby causes flickering when using nova launcher screen off shortcut

- there was no gallery app at all after flashing (?)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
I wanted AOSP system apps because they do not force me to sync contacts to google servers. It is that way on nitrogen OS contacts app. Bliss contacts app does the same stuff as those google contacts app from play store: they sync my contacts even if I disable it at google account settings for sync - google forcing me to sync my contacts to their servers should be illegal. I wish there was a lineage ROM for taimen based on P.

No disresepct and offense intended.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
Well if you're not trying to have Google sync why do you flash gapps? Not flashing them would solve all your issues no?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Well, having Play Store is quite nice.

Edit: is micro G the solution for me?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] i42o:
you cant have the b est of both world bro.... micro G is a solution if they ever update it for android 9.... i personally run that over gapps... just caumse google seems to be too intrusive to the android system
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
The pixel 3 camera is not a system app..you have to download it from the OP in order to use it, the system app camera is the aosp camera...and just to let you know not all pixel 2 xl's are the same..LG changed a lot after there was so much talk of issues, and I can say display off settings work fine on mine (and I use Nova as well), call quality is fine, and I don't believe aosp has a native gallery app, because I use Google photos because of the free original quality backup for 2 years..I will take a look at the log and see what's happening with your device. I had similar things when I was building for the Moto x pure..when you have devices with different build qualities, people can have issues that others don't. I've been running bliss for a month or so, and I always test my builds before releasing them so it's hard to say I can fix something when I'm not having any issues
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
This is a thread for bliss, not nitrogen. Their rom is completely different rom with completely different features. This is an aosp rom so a lineage based rom would have a lot of issues because it's aosp/caf based.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t-ryder:
Ok guys. Thanks for clearing things a bit up for me. I reflashed bliss to get rid of opengapps and the unwanted contact sync. Of course the local device account is there, if the Google stuff is not flashed. I am using f-droid and aurora store now as app source and for updates.

Thanks for the reply. I am indeed using arm64 Android 9.0 stock opengapps
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Use magisk module pixelfy and it will make the pixel launcher a system app and it should work for you..root is required obviously. I have not had any issues with any launcher, stock pixel, moded pixel, lawnchair, Apex, Nova, etc..and I've had no issues...did you clean flash?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sixohtew:
Which clock widget? You may need to reboot your device or try with a different launcher...I use the Google at a glance widget and it works fine so I'm not sure what's causing your launcher to not show the widget
