[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Terrible, I switched back to CarbonROM (pie - 9) but its NOT a ROM or dev issue, but a 10 issue. Android 10 gobbles down WAY TO MUCH battery for my liking, so I rolled back to 9 the other day. I could not continue using 10 ROM with the battery consumption so I rolled back to 9 and have awesome battery life again. Under any 10 ROM (including STOCK OS), the battery just gobbles down, even when not doing much at all, whereas on 9, I can let it sit and idle for 2 straight days and still have most of the battery left (no joke, no exaggeration, 100% serious, as I have tried it over the weekend doing a two-weekend test of 9 and 10). This last weekend (Easter weekend) I let my device sit (running CR - 9 OS), and it hardly moved a percentage. I let it sit for the entire weekend (both days) and it had more than 50% left this morning. This was just idle, just sitting there with minimal texting use (no calls), no games,nothing but being on, connected, and running and it lasted that long. If this were 10, it would be DEAD after ONE day, (with NO use). For reference points (to test the theory), I also tested this out with 10, the previous weekend using a stock 10 ROM, nothing installed but my apps, and MAGISK, and it barely lasted ONE day, let alone TWO days with 50% leftover (as I had to 9 this weekend).

The weekends are my test-bed, as I can let my phone sit idle over the entire weekend since I am with both my kids, and not on-call with work, so I don't need it and can test it idle. I let both the 9 ROM, and 10 ROM sit idle over 2 weekends, both no use on them, and the 9 was amazing the 10, lasted 1/5th the time (roughly).

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ROM RELATED BUT 10, THIS IS NOT A DEV ISSUE, but a 10 issue. ALL 10 ROMs I have tested ALL have roughly the same battery use and life (including stock 10) so I know its a 10 OS issue, not custom dev ROM issues. It is just nowhere near as good as 9, so I will remain on 9 for now.

If anyone disagrees and thinks I am not telling the truth, I will surely grab you picture poof screenshots with charging logs. This is no joke, no crazy exaggerations, but factual, the 9 ROM simply blows away the 10 ROM in battery life, using the same device, same installed apps, same running services, same idle time, same idle use. 9 is great, 10 gobbles power like crazy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
I don't doubt your experience at all. However, mine has been quite the opposite. I've been running stock Q with Caesium kernel and am getting really good active and idle drains .

After over 9 days with screen on my active drain was 10.36%/hr.

After over 54 days with screen off my idle drain was .62%/hr.

See screenshot below.

However, I can't say how this is compared to Pie because I've only been on Q with this phone. You may indeed be correct with the Pie/Q comparison and I don't doubt your findings. But my active and idle drains are pretty good on Q as you can see so I'm getting really good battery life.

Just my experience....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bgboii:
Damn that sucks. I mean I wouldn't doubt it. There's more stuff to run with 10 probably than 9. I've also noticed that my idle times arent that good. It'll just drain battery from just sitting there. I've been trying new rims lately and kernels.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yup, agreed, its 10 ROM and newly introduced features and functions that I dont need, nor want. I prefer 9 ROMs anyways for other reasons so I didnt mind going back to 9. CarbonROM 9 has been my DD for quite a while but I do toggle between them all to test them all. I liked this 10 version ROM, I will make the jump at some point to only 10, or 11 (when its ready), but for now, for my battery life, I will remain on 9.

I know all 10's suck down battery life, and I do know that in time, custom ROMs will outperform stock so I will move back to 10 when that happens.

AOSiP 10 (07/05/20)

Initial stable release

May ASB

Added gapps and gappsless builds

Improved UI performance (thanks Sultan)

Moved to signed builds

Switched to source generated dtbo

Rebased on top of Lineage OS reviewed trees

Synced with AOSiP source

Since we've begun moving to signed builds, this means you will either need to run the attached migration script OR clean flash this build. You'll also notice we also now offer builds without gapps. 'Official' builds do not contain gapps by default whereas 'Gapps' builds do. You're free to use whichever build you prefer.

Steps for migrating from an unsigned build to a signed build:

Fastboot into TWRP recovery and select the terminal

Run 'adb push /path/to/migrate.sh /data/local/tmp'

Run 'sh /data/local/tmp/migrate.sh official'

Proceed to flash the latest AOSiP build in TWRP and boot into system

If you can't get the above steps working, a clean flash once will also work and you won't have to worry about this again in the future.

Please note I do not ship firmware with AOSiP builds like I do with Lineage OS. If you were already on the latest firmware from April, you won't need to update your modem or bootloader as firmware is unchanged from last month.

Sorry for the big delays on this build. We were waiting for the rest of the team to be ready for stable releases. Regular builds should be back now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Quick question [MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION].. does this build come with Sultan's kernel? Am curious because AOSIP Was a battery hogger before although extremely stable. So wondering if Sultan's kernel can make up to some decent numbers like you have done with Lineage..

Not to mention it's rebased on Lineage too so having even more expectations

Nonetheless thanks a lot for your effort. Once Google stops updates end of year for Taimen, your builds will be the hope for any peeps .

Downloading this ROM as I speak .
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Nope, it comes with a pretty much identical kernel to lineage which is almost entirely stock. I should add the ROM device trees were always based off my Lineage OS trees but the ROM hadn't been updated officially since my trees underwent review from Lineage OS gerrit. The ROM base is fundamentally the same.

Thank you for your kind words. If you're still having poor luck with AOSiP, I do distribute builds of AICP in my Pixel 2 telegram group which you may want to try instead. I just released the May ASB update for AICP yesterday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] antpod:
There is a gaming mode included in the rom ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cubzfan68:
I flashed it last night, didn't see a gaming mode, didn't dig through all of it yet though.

Runs awesome.... super smooth and fast.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Eamo5,

Thx for the hard work, rom is awesome, I used to run this on my 6p, I've tried 5 or 6 different roms for the pixel, this is top notch, now my daily...

Thx again....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
I'm a bit of an option junkie and I was wondering which rom between this and AICP has more configuration options/tweaks? I used to just do nandroids and try out different ROMs but they don't work for me any more so I'm more leery of having to do a clean flash just to try ROMs out. Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I'm feeling your pain with the lack of nandroids. It makes it more difficult to try different roms. I have used both. They both have a number of options. Aosip has active edge, aicp does not. Aosip has been my dd for the last several months. I tried aicp which I used regularly on my shamu. They are both stable. Sorry to say this but the only way you are going to know which you like better is to flash both of them and try them out. Cheers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Yeah I'm on an older build of Colt OS which I like quite a bit. Back in the day I would make a nandroid then try out all the current ROMs and if didn't find anything better flash the update for the one I'm on. Too damn lazy these days even with Swift Backup lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bgboii:
AICP has the gaming mode

hi, with this update I no longer hear the audio when they call me. help. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cubzfan68:
The AICP is awesome, worth a try, just trying to help...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I'm not having that issue; you may want to re-wipe and re-flash.

Hello. Please show detailed AOSIP installation instructions. What sections do you need to wipe

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
I'm a BIG AOSiP fan! Curious - is the "Improved UI Performance" baked into the ROM or part of the kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
It's a part of the ROM device trees.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Can someone, on the latest official build, test if they can remount /system in RW? I need to know if the /system on this version of 10 is formatted with EXT4 / dedup filesystem, if it is, it probably mount work? I am on unofficial userdebug LOS so I can remount /system as RW and edit/change anything in the /system I need to, but no other 10 ROMs so far have worked (due to the way they are formatted for de-duplication). I am hoping this is sorted out in future custom ROMs otherwise I will have to stay on LOS as my DD forever until this is changed (or workaround is found).

Just trying to see if it works on this ROM before rebuilding the OS.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ValKyre:
can. but work on twrp.

with xplore + magisk 20.4 can't edit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Thank you very much, just to confirm, you mean, its only mountable in TWRP, but not through the system (running Android)? I need to be able to mount in RW but not using any mods or MAGISK prop add-ons, through the system session (I.E running Android) so TWRP will not work for me, but I do appreciate the info!!

I will stick with LOS for now.

Can i dirty flash this rom (without wiping system) coming from Bliss rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Both are heavily customized ROM, so i wouldn't recommend that. It will work (with factory rest and then flash ) ok at first glance but some features would be messed up surely. This is a very stable ROM from Eamon and AOSIP team. Better clean flash if you face any bug after dirty flash.

There is no typical bug for a daily use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tejkumarvusirikala:
Coming from pixeldust may security patch.. can I dirty flash this rom over this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Clean flash is always recommended when changing ROM. This is a fully functional ROM so you can keep flashing the weeklies over it without wipes. after initial CLEAN flash
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tejkumarvusirikala:
Okay do I need to flash may image first or not required?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Yes, you need to.

Install the gapps build if you use google services.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mar_Py:
Hey guys,

i would like to ask for some support.. I'm using my Pixel 2 xl as my daily phone and i would like to avoid messing it up and install/configure everything new :).

My current setup is:

- AOSiP Build 10-Alpha-taimen-20200325

- 4.4.200-Sultan Kernel (march 27)

- magisk installed

I would like to update to the newest AOSiP-Version and also to the newest sultan-kernel version. I'm considering the following steps, but i'm not sure if i get them right and if this is the advisable way to renew my setup without any struggeling or reconfiguration.. Could someone be so nice to approve this or maybe make any suggestions if something is wrong with this procedure?:

First, Download new releases to my Phone

- Latest AOSiP-Build

- Migration Script (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82500279&postcount=99)

- Sultan's Kernel (Sultan-kernel-wahoo_20200507.zip, https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/kernel-sultan-kernel-t3802152)

- Current Magisk

After that, Fastboot into TWRP recovery

- Execute Migration Build to use signed builds

Terminal =>

Run 'adb push /path/to/migrate.sh /data/local/tmp'

Run 'sh /data/local/tmp/migrate.sh official'

- Flash the latest build of AOSiP

- Reboot to system

Afterwards, fastboot into twrp recovery again:

Flash Sultan's Kernel (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/kernel-sultan-kernel-t3802152)

Flash Magisk

Is this the right and secure way to update everythin without loosing any data? Thanks for any advice :)

Will someone please give me instructions on updating to Android 10 from Android pie, I'm currently rooted with derpest rom from September 2019. Feel like it's time for me to update to Android 10. Please and thank you for your feedback
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Clean flash with May Factory image of Android 10 and boot once. After that, rest of instructions are the same as before and also mentioned in individual OPs.

Please note that you need to flash this ROM and reboot once (atleast into bootloader )before flashing TWRP. Dont flash TWRP with ROM together else you wil enter into bootloop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cubzfan68:
Not sure if this is the best method... Here's what I did

Flashed stock, did all the updates which brought me to May security etc.....

Then flash TWRP.img, rom, twrp.zip magisk, if that's your thing....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blast03:

Cannot enter the system after brushing Magisk2.04：困惑：
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cubzfan68:
Did you boot once into system first? If you just flashed the rom, you should boot system once first, then you can boot back into recovery and flash Magisk.

Hope this helps, if not, give more details and I will try to help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ijlkdmv:
According to the steps you said, if you are unsuccessful, you will not be able to enter the system!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GabrielSousa:
we have now to install the gapps ?

EDIT: yeah the rom is so small
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
There is a gapps and a gapless version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
That is awesome, we now have options to run our own flavor of GAPPs and not forced with the embedded version (which I didnt like). I like to run different GAPPs for different ROMs so this is a very well thought out move! I appreciate the change to allow us the choice of GAPPs!

I am going to flash this later today and test it out. AOSiP is one of my favorite ROMs. As long as /system is re-mountable in RW, I can use it, if not, I cant.

I asked a while back if anyone knew of remounting /system in RW, and I believe a few weeks ago, this wasnt possible. Can someone confirm if /system is re-mountable in RW for me please?! I need to know before I move over and rebuild the entire OS. I do not mean in ADB, or TWRP, but in the OS, using any ROOT browser (like FX File), can you mount /system in read/write?

Before anyone (like me would have), replied, just try it, its not so easy to switch over with my job and my zillion MFA's I need to reset up after moving ROMs. It takes me hours to rebuild my multi-factor authentication services so its a pain in the butt. Thats why I ask before I switch if /system is RW.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
I'm on a different rom at this point. I believe AOSIP is re-mountable as RW. I know you are in the telegram group and you can probably get an answer from someone who is using AOSIP now. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
:p I know, I could probably just ask in there but I was to lazy and didnt think of it before escalating here. I will try it, if you think it once worked, then it probably does, so I appreciate it. I will take the test plunge! Worse case scenario is I roll back and rebuild it fresh

I have been two months using build for Pixel 2 (walleye), and some days, the ROM detect the SIM Card, but Network from same doesn't working...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Sorry, I dont understand what you are trying to say/ask?

Are you saying every now and then your SIM goes missing, and you lose mobile service? I haven't had this issue, at all, but I am on the taimen (pixel 2 XL) so IDK if there is an issue on the walleye side. Are you doing anything unique that causes this (I.E., are you able to reproduce it with certain steps), if so, what are they? Lay them out so we can all read/see them, it maybe a force close thats tripping up the underlying sub-system for RIL. Without a log though, its impossible to tell you what specifically is going wrong. My 2XL, has no issues losing SIM, so IDK, but a log will help!

AOSiP 10 (04/06/20)

Linux 4.4.210

Full changelog can be found here. Please note that you should update your bootloader and modem through fastboot before flashing the June update. I don't include firmware in AOSiP builds like I do with Lineage OS.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
It is and confirmed by me, /system is remountable as RW. I made the plunge and tested it and it works pretty well and stable so I may stick with AOSiP for a bit. It's running pretty good and no functional issues, my only issue that I'm lacking is volume steps (real ones, not magisk modules). But on the volume step note, I can tolerate the ROM because it seems to be lower enough on the lowest setting. Normally the lowest setting for me (without the steps function) is usually way to loud. But AOSiP seems to be acceptable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
Very Stable and pretty. There is occasional shot of warm back panel with simple chrome browsing or telegram, but will remain with this ROM for a while. Feels very complete overall. Has my choice of active edge gimmick along with a truck load of kitchen sink. Comparable to the likes of Bliss.

[MENTION=9116297]Eamo5[/MENTION] - for future updates - the updater will update by itself or will i need to sideload the update after its downloaded. Pls provide some guidance.

Thanks for all the stable builds from your end

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bgboii:
How's proton kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
yeah so far, I am pretty happy with it myself, I was purposely staying on 9 (CarbonROM) because up until recently the battery on 10 wasn't as good, but it is definitely improving. I had issues with all 10 ROMs except LOS until the last few weeks, then I tried Bliss, then finally AOSiP and remained on AOSiP (at least for now). I use EX kernel, and it balances power/battery very well, I have no performance issues but get decent standby battery use. I only get warmth when crushing the cores with intensive gaming, other than that, my device is cool as a cucumber.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Working well. Active drain 12.36% and idle drain .79%.

i'm unfortunately still unsure howto proceed :/. I promise this is the last time i quote my own question if nobody replies, but i thouht it is worth a try, maybe someone can help me :/.

I only have this pixel at the moment (using it as my daily device as a said, that means traffic navigation, chatting, banking 2fa, ...), i would really like to avoid messing something up and have to reinstall/configure everything just because i did something stupid :)

If anyone has some tips i would really appreciate that very much.
