I just got a Pixel 2 XL to replace a Pixel XL. After booting into TWRP, when I try to install the latest Lineage nightly I get the following error, "Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError)". When unlocking the bootloader, I first did unlock_critical by mistake and then the regular unlock, so perhaps that has messed up something. Any guidance? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] samsungrocks10:
What TWRP version? It looks like someone(from here) with a similar error happened to be using the wrong TWRP. Though, I'm no expert and never had that specific issue before, so I could be wrong.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lichan:
Yes, I tried 3.3.0 TWRP and Lineage installed without error 7. I never think of things getting worse with a newer version. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] samsungrocks10:
Oh, no problem. That's a bit odd, mine works fine on latest TWRP and also SHRP(I think basically TWRP with different UI and stuff). I'd wonder if it'll work fine after that initial install for like OTAs and such. But, oh well, either way, glad that it's working now.

Hi guys, I just read:

Google allows custom ROM users to register their Google Services Framework (GSF) ID on their certification page in order to continue using Google Play Services on their LineageOS device.

Google Play Certification

What it is, and how it affects you

lineageos.org

- I want to install LOS but don't know if this certification will make you pass SafetyNet and be able to use banking apps and Netflix? Has anyone tried this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
AFAIK, that will not allow you to pass SafetyNet. However, you can currently pass SafetyNet on LOS by installing Magisk, MagiskHide Props Config module, and Universal SafetyNet Fix module. I'm using Magisk V23.0, Universal SafetyNet Fix V1.2.0, and the latest MagiskHide Props Config.

Funny thing after the update I installed yesterday.my phone now charges with regular adapters only. cannot charge it with the original adapter.also sometimes when I plug in it reboots...

This is the changelog from

17/12/20

December ASB

Rebased on r19 tags

Added Active Edge support (credits to kdrag0n)

Added battery light / notification LED customisation

Added new Styles customisation from AOSP

Lots of bug fixes and general improvements

Can anyone tell me what the text in Red means. Does the notification LED customization mean that the LED notifies(blinks) when there is a call/text etc ?

I am looking of this feature. Light flow worked till yesterday and today it does not work. Not sure what chnaged overnight.

TIA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neilth:
With LOS 18.1 for the Pixel 2 & 2 XL, there’s an option to have the notification LED illuminate with custom colors for specific apps and their notifications. This can be setup by a user for any installed apps on their phone, a very useful option.

Hi,

I'm having some issues installing LineageOS on my taimen. I've done it before but it doesn't seem to want to work now. I initially tried to use TWRP but i could sideload or access any zips on the device so I flashed Lineage Recovery and I can intiate Sideload but its just stuck at Verifying.. any advice?

EDIT: ok figured it out. Had to place the zip on an external drive, make sure my phone was in Slot A, boot TWRP, mount the external drive and flash from there, I got a few errors saying it couldn't mount /Vendor but it seems to work
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
This is exactly what I'm trying to do. Which props signature did you use?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
"Google Pixel 2 XL". Version 1.2.0 of USNF is necessary, not one of the newer versions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cb474:
Do you really have to wipe internal storage to install Lineage? I see some guides saying to just wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik cache with TWRP, but leave internal storage alone. Other guides say to do a factory reset or wipe userdata using fastboot (which I assume wipes internal storage). What's correct?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Just updated to Magisk 24.1 (release) and it's bootlooping. Anybody else experience the same on this ROM?

EDIT: I flashed the Magisk uninstaller via TWRP and then reinstalled Magisk 24.1. Works fine now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
I installed the Unicornblood kernel on top of this and now my phone won't connect to my Macbook in data transfer, ADB or Fastboot. When the device is booted and I plug in my phone to the laptop, it shows the Notification about USB debugging and connected, but then those go away after about 1/2 second. My phone is kind of finicky, so it could be unrelated to the kernel, but that's the only thing that's changed since this issue came up.

Is there a way to re-flash the ROM while the device is booted? Similar to taking a LineageOS OTA update? I'd like to get the stock kernel back on here, but am unsure how to do it since I can't connect to my laptop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
If you just want to flash the kernel (not a ROM) EX Kernel Manager can flash boot.img. It's in the Play Store.

Have you tried different USB cables and ports? Also, remove any hubs or adapters.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Strangely enough I got it to work as soon as I plugged in a hub instead of direct. Maybe my phone doesn't like M1 Macs? I dunno.

Thanks for the reminder about EXKM. I had forgotten about that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Carmageddon1984:
My phone had the LineageOS rom for about a year now - I didnt run any updates or anything.

Now I've got a new phone, and tried to setup a Google Child Account which I can control - all worked well, until she needed YouTube which wasn't showing even after I explicitly enabled it, so I tried rebooting the phone - and it went into a Reboot Loop :(

I can get into the Fastboot with Power+VolDown, adb doesn't see the device, but fastboot does - I tried erasing user data with -w no success, I tried reflashing latest version, no success. tried to boot TWRP 3.5.2 - no success still goes into reboot mode.

(Choosing Recovery Mode just goes back into boot loop)

Nuclear option I tried is flashing stock Android rom: https://gist.github.com/Carmageddon/41134b3c52ef3a6b531e528997842606

The log looks good, but the phone immediately reboots and is still in a boot loop mode :(

It seems after that nuclear options though, its automatically boots back into the Fastboot mode, after one attempt (the Google Logo showing on white background for a few secs)

I am at a loss, what to do/try next?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
This worked for me last time I saw that screen - https://www.blogtechtips.com/2017/0...ngle-error-symbol-on-android-recovery-screen/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Carmageddon1984:
I've tried following the instruction:

But it goes back into Fastboot - no change
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Sounds like maybe an A/B issue.

If you go nuclear and flash factory images, make sure you're doing it on both the A and B partitions.

As for the Family controls, I tried doing the same thing about a year ago and it didn't work on LOS for some reason. I don't know if they've fixed it since then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Carmageddon1984:
I've checked and it says

(bootloader) current-slot:a

I've issued command fastboot --set-active=b

I removed -w on the flash-all.bat script so it doesnt wipe the old a, but this time I looked at the output, as well as the old output I posted on gist - it still flashes and re-sets to b:

Setting current slot to 'b' OKAY [ 0.009s]

After this, it still is in a boot loop and boots back into Fastboot :(

I've even tried to manually re-set active to a and eventually I did manage to have it set current slot to a during flashing - but it goes back into a loop as well
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rebelpixel:
Have you tried using fastboot format userdata?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Carmageddon1984:
I just tried, still in boot loop.

Re-flashed with the flash-all script afterwards, still no change.

Anything else I can try? any further info you need?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] irmas5:
Do you tried flash via web browser? Like chrome or brave browser from here https://developers.google.com/android/images. Look for 2xl and try flash via browser.

An stupid question, is it posible to lock the bootloader once lineage os is installed?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] irmas5:
no. if you lock bootloader on custom rom, you getting hard bootloop
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
I got It, i read some post about signed kernel in one plus one forum.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
There are a couple ROMs that allow bootloader locking. Proton is one of them. But the phone knows you have a altered system and shows a different warning on boot.

I don't see a big advantage of doing it. I did it on my P2XL and gave the phone to my wife. All was well for a couple months until it was used until the battery died and I couldn't get it to charge or boot to any mode. I think it was because of the locked bootloader setup. Since the device appeared dead, we got her a Pixel 6 Pro as a replacement.

Eventually I was able to trigger a boot by plugging into a USB hub. Got it charged enough, unlocked the bootloader, factory flashed both partitions, then there on LOS. Never had a problem since and the phone is super snappy with good battery life!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Just found either a bug with the ROM or a defect with my device. When I plug in the stock USB-C Audio Adapter and plug in headphones, the ROM doesn't see them and outputs audio through the speakers still.

What's more weird is, depending on the headphones, when I plug them in a USB notification pops-up saying it's charging the attached accessory. But it's not charging - the headphone charging lights are not illuminated.

Tried rebooting, updating to latest LOS and making sure USB Audio is not disabled in Developer Options.

Tried with Sennheiser HD1 and Marshall Mid headphones. Both are Bluetooth (turned off) with optional wired connector plugged in.

Seems to be a defect with my phone. Happens on stock and other ROMs too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
I'm experience ramdom problems with apps. Sometimes Gmail or drive not sync, sometimes other apps show "not connection to internet" or don´t load some parts of the app.

I'm having a heck of a time just getting twrp booted. I only have experience with one other device so maybe there's something obvious here.

I'm using twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img.

The output of (fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img)

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.133s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: dtb not found)

finished. total time: 2.290s

The instruction at the top of this thread say to use (fastboot boot ...) while the wiki that is linked says to use (fastboot flash boot ...) Which one is right?

The TWRP page for taimen says "If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image."

If I run (fastboot flash boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img) I get this:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'boot_b' (40960 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.202s]

writing 'boot_b'...

FAILED (remote: size too large)

finished. total time: 1.251s

I switched to slot a with the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img boots TWRP without installing it to the boot partition. This is the correct command.

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img installs TWRP to the boot partition. Since you ran this command, you will now have to do as the TWRP page says, and download the latest factory image and reflash the boot image. You can download the factory image at https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen. The boot image is inside the zip file that is inside the zip you will download.

If reflashing the factory boot image does not work, you may have to flash the full factory image, which will wipe your phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ethanol6:
Thanks for the details, I'll give this a shot. The fastboot command output said it failed though. So am I misunderstanding something here?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dcarvil:
The first command should have been successful if you were starting from a working phone. That error message indicates there was something wrong with the phone before you tried to install TWRP. If that is the case, you will need to flash a full image to restore the phone before installing TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ethanol6:
Ah, understood. Well I'm embarrassed to admit that I've made a symphony of errors here, not the least of which is realizing... uh.. this isn't a pixel 2... I'm a dummy. Thanks so much for your time!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kovaelin:
Thank you very much for this. I was able to get Lineage onto my Pixel 2 XL very easily. The only issue I came across was resolved by updating my drivers.

Google USB Driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

Just for future reference for others already using Android Studio, SDK Manager also provides installation for the necessary platform tools (for adb and fastboot).

My antenna performance has gone to crap. Possibly caused by me dropping my phone (small crack in bottom corner). Pixel 2. Can barely download any MMS pictures. Takes ages to find signal. Almost never on LTE. Put the same SIM into my old Nokia 6.1 2018 and I get full bars. This stuff has persisted across multiple LineageOS updates. Wifi and bluetooth still seems strong.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DaveImagery:
Experiencing a weird issue, after temp booting into twrp, and wiping system, sideloading seems like it's hanging. The phone is detected, and the OS is being sent to it, but I waited a good 20 minutes, and got no kind of confirmation on the phone. It just hangs at "installing zip file", but after giving up after a 20 minute wait, I attempted to boot into Lineage, and it did. Anyone else experience this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] therob2:
Hi,

(1) should the LED for app notifications (SMS, WhatsApp, missed calls) work out of the box, like charging LED is doing? Or do I have to make any setting to activate/customize this?

In 'settings --> apps & notification --> notificatins --> notif. LED --> notif. = enabled'.

Do I need to customize this for each app I want to trigger LED with the setting 'App-Customisation --> + '? Or should it work also without this? Thanks for a short explanation.

(2) is it possible to let the feature allways-on-display (AOD) only activate, if there is an recent app-notification (wahtsapp etc.)? Until now I just find the option to ALLWAYS show time and date as AOD (and then of course all notifications). But that it only switches on, if there is something of interest (to save battery it the silent time)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
I resolved the same issue using a USB Hub. Don't forget to enable USB debbuging in settings/develpver. In my case, Bios is a crap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Yes, otherwise you can install an app to customize the led.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] therob2:
Indeed, LED works out of the box. But for my tested Apps (Conversations, SMS, Telephony) all have been green and VERY slow blinking. So I moved on with activating "advanced app settings" and made configuration for each desired app - now it is like I want. Thanks.

And Allways-On-Display beeing only active, if there is a recent/active notification, otherwise display is off - no chance to make it with stock LOS18.1?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cognid:
For what is worth...

On my Pixel 2 (walleye) with stock ROM and fresh unlocked bootloader, aiming to flash LOS 18.1 for the first time:

fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img

where <recovery_filename>.img is the official LOS recovery, it hangs on boot showing Google splash screen with an unlocked lockpad.

However, if <recovery_filename>.img is latest available TWRP (currently 3.3.0.0), it successfully boots into twrp recovery.

Whereas following exactly the instructions in the official guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/walleye/install

fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img

Succeeds in flashing the official recovery allowing further booting into it, and flashing LOS 18.1 ROM.

Just my experience.

I just successfully upgraded my Pixel 2 XL from Lineage 18.1 to 19.1 as per the instructions for installing a Lineage OS upgrade. Prior to booting up the phone I also installed an updated version of Mind The Gapps for Android 12 as per the instructions. I plan to use this phone with Google Fi, but I could not find an Android 12 updated version of the Google Fi Addon. My question is, does such a file exist anywhere, and do I need to install it over the Android 11 version I have installed on my phone before it will work on Google Fi’s networks?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] therob2:
Official LOS 19 for walleye / Pixel 2 is out. See here, and builds here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheAlmightyOgreLord:
My question is, are the builds for 18.1 completely discontinued? I seem to remember google (& lineageOS) supporting legacy versions of android with security patches for at least a year in the past.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] therob2:
AFAIK LineageOS only builds the newest available official release for a device and since LOS19 is official now no more 18.1 releases will be build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] orography:
I see that the last nightly build for this was in April 2022. Does that mean that there will be no more nightly builds? I was hoping to avoid the ugly Android 12 interface for a little bit longer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] justDave:
Literally the previous two posts.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheAlmightyOgreLord:
If anyone is willing to patch android 11 with the last few months of security patches before this project was abandoned I am willing to donate. PM me if you're interested.

I'm not arguing against the effort towards the inevitable Android 12... It's just that most people including me on XDA use the plethora of custom kernels that just haven't (and won't) be updated to A12.

Being that A11 will receive continued support from google for the foreseeable future, I see this as an opportunity to make quite a few people happy.
