Re: Results to Share

Nitin;

I tried to follow your simple steps as best I could. Below is what I did and then what happened.

I backed up everything I cared about that was not already backed up from the first time I installed ColtOS

This is where I may have strayed a bit. I went into TWRP and did a wipe that should have included Data, Dalvik & Cache but I am fairly certain I didn't wipe everything (as I should have?), because my folders and other files appeared to still be present on the device (photos, music, downloads, etc.).

But after I 'wiped' the device, I installed the ROM. I was then able to install TWRP successfully.

I booted up the device and then shut down once it was up and wanting to 'set up'.

Did this.

Previously I had downloaded the Aroma version but decided to download the Nano and Micro version. Had a challenge getting the Zip files on the phone as ADB was not working for me. Eventually, I used TWRP Sideload ADB to get the zip files on the device. However, when I tried flashing them I was unsuccessful. Each time and each version (Nano, Micro, and Aroma) I tried to install (using TWRP) I received an error message regarding not having enough space to install (I don't remember if it referenced a partition or device). So I ended up not being able to install any Open Gapps suite at all.

So now, here's what happened after I rebooted and continued with the set-up process.

* Set up the phone as directed

* Restored just about everything that Google had backed up for me

* Found that in the Phone App - Visual Voice Mail was present ( :) ). Nice Surprise.

* Also Found that Call Screening was working as well (it was not prior to the re-install).

* And then lo and behold - Android Auto was running with no errors whatsoever!! SUCCESS!!

I've not been able to try actually connecting it to a car, but I am optimistic as the application appears to be fully functional when launched, which did not happen before.

Interesting Side note, after a day-ish, I noticed that I lost Visual Voice Mail from my phone app, but kept the 'Call Screening' function.

So at this point I'm not sure how clean my install was, I didn't install Open Gapps, and I restored from a previous backup (Google) and got two (2) of the three (3) functions I wanted:

1. Android Auto

2. Call Screening

I can live w/out Visual Voicemail if it means I've got the other two. Especially since I just found the ColtOS SmartBar Navigation settings that let me change the icon and function of the navigation buttons.

That alone makes me so

very very

happy (I can't stand the buttons being in black or white - very hard to see them. I like to give them color and have the 'Kill app' function as well).

So thank you very much for your sage wisdom and your AWESOME ROM. Sorry that I may not have been able to validate any solution to a particular issue, other than 'A clean wipe fixes (mostly) all issues' :p

-A(n Android Auto) Bug :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks for sharing the results!

I'm happy that you were able to get things working (at least 2 of them ;))

I think in the step where you tried to flash the gapps, it did something and then the things started to work.

By clean flash I meant - flashing the factory image with flash-all.bat and then starting over. It removes everything from the phone and then we can rely on the test results.

Anyways, good to know that it helped you and I'll be waiting for the actual android auto results.

Hello I am having issues flashing the OS to my Pixel 2 XL, does not seem to work. These are the following steps I took:

Boot to TWRP 3.3.0.0

Erase 'Dalvik/Cache' and data

Start sideload feature on TWRP

Try sideloading the Colt OS

When the sideloading starts TWRP gives me the following info:

"Starting ADB Sideload feature...

Installing zip file ''/sideload/package.zip"

The progress bar is moving and in about 30 mins it freezes and nothing happens. Any hints on how to debug or how to flash it? Am I doing something wrong?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
Try rebooting, it might be on there. When I adb sideload the stock ota the progress stops at 50% but after a reboot it's installed on the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
It should have worked.

Why sideload though when you can download the ROM zip on phone and then follow above process. Last step would be flashing the ROM from TWRP (directly from phone storage).

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fj.fernandez:
Thanks! It worked!

The only thing now is that I rebooted and tried to get back into TWRP and it is asking me for a password that I did not set. I am trying to flash TWRP now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
You should have removed pin/ pattern on your lockscreen before rebooting to recovery.

Search XDA for recovering from this situation. This is not related to ROM, it's general issue with twrp.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fj.fernandez:
Everytime I want to boot into TWRP I need to remove my lockscreen pin?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Yes.

Alternatively, you can place your zips to flash in /data/app and flash them from there in TWRP. /data is not encrypted, so it works even with lockscreen security set.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Edmontonchef:
If you flash-all the April system image, boot up, sign in then flash June ota TWRP encryption works. You can update your slots after with fastboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, this issue (with TWRP) started from February security patch. Refer posts on this page of TWRP thread.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
I'm confused about the decryption issue since I never have any problems. I use pattern+fingerprint and always get into TWRP. Is it the PIN that had the issue? Not a pattern??
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
I don't know the details - refer the thread that I linked in last post. I disable security everytime I want to boot into twrp.

Wondering if you could include this feature, I couldn't find it if it's already included, but it's useful.

Thanks

Edit: I found the option now. Also got Ok Google working again. Messing with a few other things, but running perfectly at the moment. ?

Edit2: Got Now Playing working but only on the Always On screen, can't get it working anywhere else or go identify anything that's playing.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cpye2:
I temporarily booted into TWRP using fastboot, then flashed TWRP zip, Magisk 19.3 zip, and youtube vanced zip. Rebooted. Was stuck in recover mode bootloop. used TWRP to fix that. Now when I boot still no root.

When you say flashing it again, do you mean the ROM or all the apps I mentioned above? I backed up my crypto keys to another phone so not sweating or anything. Just trying to get this right since I will likely continue using your roms.

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
You most likely bootlooped because you're supposed to reboot back into recovery after flashing TWRP, then flash Magisk.

Just reboot to recovery once more, and only flash Magisk, then boot up. You should be fine after that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nitin.chobhe:
Just boot into twrp and flash magisk zip. Done!

Tried an AOSIP build I found while surfing the internet and it appears that Netflix, GPay, and other apps that pass safety net all worked and appeared in the Play Store for me, as well as their Now Playing showing perfectly fine on the lockscreen.

Mainly, the Magisk part is what's driving me nuts. I tried other roms as well and GPay was a no-go, but all of a sudden it worked on some random AOSIP build. Anyone know anything about getting GPay to work? ?

Is there anything I can do to stop magisk from uninstalling daily? I flash it and it works fine and the very next day it shows that it's uninstalled and I have to reflash it.

I've written steps to get gpay working. Search and you should find out.

I can't comment about aosip as I'm unaware about what they are doing.

What version of magisk are you using? I use 19.3 and it doesn't get uninstalled so frequently. May be once in a while like 12-15 days. That's known issue with magisk and I can't do anything from ROM side.

Nitin
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Do you reboot often? I remember mine showing it wasn't installed and rebooting caused it to reappear. This maybe happened 2-3 times to me total over the months. Haven't ran into it in a long time though.

Have that setup as well and it's a no-go. Safetynet is so tricky. It shows certified and passing, but not being able to do certified stuff shows it's lying, lol.

I'll keep messing with it and see if anything changes. I had it working once without touching it, but now it's not working even after I touch it.

boot to recovery

wipe art/cache and data

flash rom and after that twrp

reboot.

Never have this issue with any other rom and this only happens with Colt Os. I flash roms for years. don't know what to do, strange is that phone does not request pin after boot, screeb is blinking and all I see is google welcome screen to setup the phone, set wifi, account etc but not to enter the pin. Am i doing something wrong?
