hey, this is the best ROM I've seen around here since I want to get rid of Google

I've only been testing for a day, but here are some questions and bug reports

- I can't use the Phone app to call anyone (using Virgin Mobile network)

- Netflix won't play UHD content

If I flash another kernel, would it be ok? I'm thinking of trying the Elemental X

otherwise, only good things, keep it up

There's gonna be an update this week! Some new exciting changes included!

Glad this ROM has signature spoofing. Now if only I could get Snapchat to work

Flashed this with simple gapps and it's running great. Nice work. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mr. Blanco:
Curious about trying this Rom , where did you get the simple gapps from ? or did you mean opengapps ?

hello, have you fix the phone call issue? i can not call anybody as well

hi, have you fix the phone call issue? i have the same issue with you, i dnt know how to fix that, but i like this rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Can't make a phone call with built in dialer or Google phone app.

I just was getting ready to install this. But then I saw it is beta and phone calls do not work?

So, not ready as daily driver.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] p8tgames:
We are currently investigating the calling issue. Updates soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] abbluiz:
Hello, there. No, I did not find a fix for this issue. I switch to unofficial LineageOS ROM and it is working good so far, with a few problems.

After 2 days of compiling, changing trees/kernels/vendors, testing I gave up. Earpiece is still not working and I don't know how to fix this thing. If anyone want and can help with that issue I'd be thankful because it's hard for me to do things not for my device.

Thanks to testers which contacted me on TG that helped me with testing this thing.

If you're developer and/or got it working on COSP, please contact me on telegram.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
congrats on getting it working.

will this now be a official COSP device?

I will wait for may patch to be merged and then released before trying
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] edi194:
May patch is already merged, we fixed it week ago and just waited for patch :p And yes, it'll be official one :cowboy:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
ah ok

thanks!

will flash may vendor and get it flashed

i noticed its only 400mb. do we need to flash GAPPS?

Thank you so much for this ROM. That is exactly what I am looking for. Where I can enable signature spoofing? I have installed MicroG.

Thank you :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mr. Blanco:
i was just wondering if anyone could help with the micro G files needed for this rom, i checked the micro G website https://microg.org/download.html

not sure which or if all files are needed as i have no experience with using or installing micro G , if anyone could help , that would be greatly appreciated :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
I tried to use this and attempted to use micro opengapps however no setup wizard on boot and all the gapps that were installed were missing from the ROM even after flashing zip.

What gapps people using? For those that prefer Google apps I mean.

I assume you flash them after the ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
I think the system partition size is incorrect.

I cant even flash micro gapps package

"INSTALLATION FAILURE: Your device does not have sufficient space available in

the system partition to install this GApps package as currently configured.

You will need to switch to a smaller GApps package or use gapps-config to

reduce the installed size."
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
. Make sure you flash rom+ twrp zip reboot recovery then flash gapps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
yup found that out from the telegram group.

got it all booted up now.

Wifi Calling does not seem to be working on EE UK network.

The option to turn it on is there but even when on it does not activate it.

This works on all other custom ROMs I tried. So maybe a bug.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] adamokari:
Been off xda for a bit but I'm glad to see this up and running. Thanks a lot for your hard work devs. Been wanting to go gapps free on the 2 xl and i finally can now. Gonna flash this tonight after work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
Has anyone been able to successfully use this rom with NanoDroid?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
only bug is no wifi calling working on EE UK.

option to turn it on is there but does not do anything
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
I did flash NanoDroid from here. It is working fine I just missing that signature spoofing part. It is supported by this rom but I am unable to enable it. I don't know how. Other then that this is really perfect rom missing only all that crap nobody is really using ;)

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Only suggestion for this I possibly have is to replace camera with Pixel 3 camera and default launcher with Lawnchair 2. Also phone app, contacts and messaging should have support for that dark theme build into the rom. ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
What were your installation steps?

Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Advanced -> App permissions for sig spoofing
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
So I installed the rom and nanodroid, and it seems like my Tmobile phone prefers HSPA+ a lot more now. Where I am usually gets a decent signal, but I am getting no bars pretty consistently now, even after resetting network, wifi, and bluetooth
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
I did not have any signal problems. At this moment I am on a different rom but I will probably try on the weekend again. The problem is some apps need Google Play Services to work and MicroG is not helping here, at list not for me. I think it should. Must be something I don't know about. MicroG to set it up properly is not that easy for me. I end up installing pico open gapps but not login in the Google acc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
I just set up COSP with MicroG so I can help with whatever you need
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
Excellent, thank you. So can you normally run now apps like Whatsapp, Bring, Google maps? I usually get apps from Aptoide store or manually download from apkmirror.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
An older version of Google Maps works perfectly. I'm not sure about the other two. I would search around and see what you can find. I use Aurora store anonymously to download apps directly from Google Play servers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
Any updated builds? Missing WiFi calling
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
Yes, I have fresh install together with latest NanoDroid from 05/18. Now everything works how it should together with Aurora Store. I am supper happy with COSP ROM now ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KHANrad_SIN:
On the feature list it says OP gestures, does that include the proper animations like the oneplus 6t has for example? like the app closing animation and recents animations?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
Not sure about that but just get this ROM, it is awesome. In les then 500mb you will get clean and fast Android. Hands down this is best it can get for MicroG setup.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tylermrsh:
Is there no now playing on this rom? I couldn't find it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bilge656:
Is it possible to get unlimited Google Photos backup with this rom?

How do you do preserve Magisk during an OTA update?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kimikim0:
you can't, just reflash magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CrimsonComet:
because this..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] touch444719:
I'm not gonna lie, I tried 4-5 roms from this pixel 2 xl subforum, and yours is absolutely fantastic.

I'm blown away by all the little details you guys have added to the rom, that doesn't suck / bug / is useless or frustrating.

Your rom doesn't have any issue so far (to be fair, it's only 8-9 hours I mess with it).

It feels good to finally find an awesome rom without bull****, stock with little (AWESOME) enhancements (with Gapps pico for me).

For instance, the sound mixer available without being redirected to the settings cat or the fact that you "auto display" the "advanced" options from the settings. It's just perfect.

Thank you for your work, hope you guys keep it up.

And if I had to share my opinion about a little improvement, it would be the presentation thread (I tried your rom last just because there is no install procedure. Granted, it's the same for all of the roms, now I know that, but I'm a newbie and I had no clue at the time when I was reading about all the roms available).

I can see on your website (pretty funny btw :D) that you were in need for more users, maybe it's a start, a noob friendly step by step on the front page of your presentation threads.

Anyway, thanks again for this, you litteraly saved my phone from a refund!

Edit : couple of days later, and I can confirm, 10/10 rom.

The only thing I'm missing is the "power on/off schedule" feature, that doesn't show up in the "settings=>system" menu as usual.

But that's ok, I find an app that does the same thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] brock37:
Will this rom work with Google Fi?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nebula9:
Constantly getting this weird notice that google play services wants to turn on Bluetooth. Either way, it doesn't turn on Bluetooth, but I don't know how to stop it…
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] edi194:
Because it want to turn on location scanning, it needs BT for this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
After trying different ROMs I always come back to COSP. This is just perfect. Build from 07. 03. is flawless. NanoDroid MicroG with COSP is excellent experience. Clean, fast and private... :)

Thank you and keep up good work
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Do you mind sharing a link for this NanoDroid MicrG ?? I went looking at the Git and just had my brain cloud over. Lol. I never did anything but Gapps before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
Pickup NanoDroid MicroG from here. I am currently on beta release from 07. 09 and it is working without any problem.

After clean install of COSP first install latest Magisk and then then NanoDroid McroG. You don't need to flash anything else from there.

After booting to rom go to settings/apps & notification/app premissions/spoof package signature and then tap menu on top right to show system apps and then enable both FakeStore and MicroG.

After that go to app drawer, opem MicroG and go thru the setting what else you would like to enable.

That should do it, enjoy clean and fast rom privately ;)

BTW NanoDroid will also give you Aurora app store where you can get anything you will need...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] brock37:
I can confirm this ROM works with Google Fi. I enjoy my $30 dollar a month cell phone bill, I'm always using WiFi. It's the only bit of privacy I have to compromise with... Anyhow, just letting others know that I can say that it works with Google Fi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dimpoblimpo:
I cannot seem to get my contacts. I keep being prompted to sign in to my google account which I have already done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
I saw mention of vendor image in this thread, is flashing vendor image required?

I might try at first with Gapps then go to MicroG - are Gapps included? If not, could anyone please provide links to recommended minimal Gapps packages?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
mindthegapps and DU's simple gapps work well.

For some reason the setup wizard crashes for me with open gapps

You should flash July vendor to both slots with fastboot or twrp
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
"Should" flash vendor image or mandatory? (not trying to be a dink)

What does flashing vendor image do?

Do I have the order below correct?

What is ADB command to flash vendor image? (already have command for setting active slot)

Could you please provide links to the correct Gapps for this phone? (your recommended)

Much appreciated, thanks.

Boot TWRP (ADB)

Flash ROM & TWRP

Set Slot A active, flash vendor image

Set Slot B active, flash vendor image

Reboot to TWRP

Flash Gapps & Magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
That seems about right, you can flash the vendor with twrp then switch slots in the reboot menu and flash again, switch slots again then reboot. Things still work fine, you'll get a warning when you boot that your vendor is out of date. Might as well update it.

Reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash vendor_a (vendor.img)

Fastboot reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash vendor_b (vendor.img)

I wouldn't flash magisk until you boot once but that's just me.

The vendor image contains drivers that make gyro, gps etc work properly to go with monthly updates.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
Just to make sure I am understanding correctly....even though I would have already flashed vendor image to A & B slots I then will likely have to flash same vendor image to A & B once rebooted into bootloader via ADB?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
If you already have your vendor updated to July you don't have to worry about it until next month's builds. Make sure you don't wipe the system, just factory reset. If you get a vendor mismatch warning then you know you have to update it. Twrp is the easiest way
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
OK got it. Thanks again for your help and patience!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
I have COSP, TWRP & Magisk installed.

I tried flashing vendor image - when I switch to Slot A in TWRP and choose reboot system (only way I could see to change slots in TWRP) phone boots into TWRP. When I choose Slot B in TWRP and reboot system phone then boots up normally.

Did I miss something about how to flash vendor image to both slots from TWRP?

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

MicroG installed - followed your instructions here and all works exactly as you said - thank you!

I have many apps that I have paid for in Play Store, what is best way to install Play Store app with this set up, flashable zip or apk?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
You don't need to do that. Login in Aurora with you Google account credentials and you can download all purchased apps again straight from Aurora. Aurora will not add Google account to Android system. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an21281:
After changing slot(A, B) in twrp, you need to reboot to recovery( Reboot to system will boot up the phone/OS ..)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
You are right again - logged into Aurora with Google account and got all my paid apps thank you!

Did I need to set up Google account on phone to get push notifications with microG?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
Is there a reason why you are recommending 7.09 beta instead of stable version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
That was back then, now latest one is from 07/13 stable. I always pickup latest one. With Nanodroid I did not have any problem with betas so I really don't mind. I always just go for latest when doing clean ROM install. Later on when upgrading I use just stable ones. I will use latest beta only if i have some problems with MicroG.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
OK cool. What is best way to upgrade to newer version - wipe, reflash ROM and start over?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
When new version of ROM is available I flash new vendor image if is available, dirty flash new version of same ROM, latest Magisk and then latest NanoDroid. I did not have any problems doing that on the same ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
Is it necessary to log Android into Google account to get push when using NanoDroid microG?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
You have to login in MicroG to Google account Messaging for that. Don't worry doing that you will not get any Google services, contacts, calendars or anything else. Just push notification itself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
OK. I realize it is a little off topic here but could you please steer me in the right direction to get push working with NanoDroid microG on this ROM?

Really enjoy everything about this ROM - very nice to NOT see all the running Google services!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emilius:
Simply open app drawer/MicroG and enable Google account messaging
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] brock37:
Excellent Rom, I wanted to go completely Google free. But, micro g seems buggy. I constantly received errors that "micro g core service has stopped working". I tried both stable and beta micro g.

Ended up having to install gapps, it's possible my micro g settings weren't correct.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
Agree with you fully on this ROM, it is very sweet.

Not sure if you have moved on from microG but thought I would share a few things that have helped me in learning more and getting success.

I am now using latest stable Nanodroid microG with no Gapps but with Play Store only - very easy to do this properly by building a simple config file and placing it in storage on your phone prior to flashing Nanodroid. (custom tailors installation and any future updates/installations)

Details here: https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/README.md

Lots of great information here also:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928

It is worth the time and effort to go microG in my opinion - remember that Google Play Services is not exactly exempt from bugginess!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] brock37:
Well, everything is set up and working almost perfect. Turns out I had a bjorked SQL database from an unofficial magisk module. Checked the logs on why microG kept crashing, and it couldn't connect to SQL database. It was a module to make Google Pay work on rooted devices. Flashed stock July factory image, and then ROM, TWRP, Magisk, microG. I haven't had a crash yet.

The only thing that I can't seem to figure out our my paid apps from Aurora store. It recognizes some of my paid apps but not others.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Brenneke:
Had a similar experience with Aurora and have since changed to Play Store only - is 100% now with microG setup This was a compromise for me as I really wanted to get away from Google more but in the end I feel at least Play Store (unlike Play Services) is manageable in many ways (permissions/App ops, AFWall, TiB) without affects on push etc. Great ROM, really pleased with Nanondroid/ microG.

I'm thinking of switching to this rom without gapps but I've never used a rom without gaps before and have some questions:

If I use microg/nanodroid will things like Google pay and Google maps work normally? Will I be able to purchase apps from the play store?

Without gapps will things like Pixel Visual Core and Pixel Graphics Driver still work?
