Yes, I understand that the xxxx stands for the version.....I've been using the version 3.3.0-0

fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-taimen.img

I'll try using the latest version as well but the above version worked well for me. The issue is the bootloop, I can't get to boot into ROM......and despite my laptop/cable working good, I can't get to make use of adb/fastboot commands, my phone just doesn't understand it......I am using it from the same directory too.......the only instance it understand adb command is when I boot into proton rom's recovery partition after selecting "Apply update from ADB" option..........i.e. adb sideload

And when I try to execute adb sideload proton-aosp_taimen-ota_11.3.2.zip command, it ends up giving the older package timestamp error.....so I can't get into twrp, can't make adb/fastboot command, adb sideload is the only option where my phone understands adb command. Any thoughts/ideas to try on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] irmas5:
Do you tried go back to stock rom, then flash again?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Green-Bot:
this looks as my last resort.......I guess I'll have to go down this route!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] irmas5:
Try via deuces script install stock rom.. Then fastboot twrp. And flash proton rom.

Are you using the correct Google fastboot from latest platform tools

Theres fastboot/adb and then theres the proper ones

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

and have you tried a different USB cable?

If none of that works, then as mentioned above, plan a if the phone isnt working is always to flash back to stock and start again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nlua:
also worth trying a different or all other usb ports available if it has not been mentioned yet... i know that and the cable thing had me kicking myself when i try it as a last ditch effort just to find out i spent hours trying other things than the most simple ones - unless you only got one cable and port :ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Green-Bot:
I had to go for clean install and it just went so smooth........it's the dirty flash which isn't working for me from the start of nov 2020......this time through web installer, we do not have much scope of doing things wrong......I just followed the process of dirty flash and then clean install.....and as the message says "everything is automatic and do not touch the phone etc." I was simply following it......so the dirty flash is an issue at least for me on this ROM.....apart from that it's an awesome rom......and really appreciate all the support I got, that is what matters most :)

wiping data and then restoring does takes time particularly every month....still its a task which should be avoided who are already using this sweet ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Green-Bot:
well, I used the same fastboot version and cable when I went for clean flash and within minutes, I got booted and everything worked like a charm. It is the dirty flash which didn't work for me. It's one aspect of this rom which is problematic(at least for some folks).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Green-Bot:
I did tried different cable & usb port......but the minimal install option just couldn't complete its first boot......the moment I selected clean flash, I was into the ROM within few minutes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hudsonhicks:
Has the "install zip" option been removed from Magisk Canary or is there some bug with my device/ rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jadajada:
Is there a way to get the original Pixel Launcher installed on this rom? I have tried to download the apk, and it installs, but force closes on start. I have tried Lawnchair and others, but it's not the same. Also, "Now playing" works on the home screen as a notification, but not on the lockscreen. Is that possible to fix also? I have looked in the settings without finding the option.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rob219:
whats the instructions for web installer im connected then when it goes to download the button is greted out. so it isn't working for me. also i flashed 3.1 was stuck in bootanimation never ending coming from 3.0 then tried booting back into twrp and it started my sytem and it shows im on 3.0 still like i jever flashed 3.1 which i did. so no luck upgrading from 3.0 using trwp or webinstaller.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Weird on the hardware side, at least you know youre special :)

Good o on the hacks, appreciate the explanation
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You're not alone, mine fails hardware attestation as well being set to pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Through my magisk GPay module, ive yet to see anyone report hardware attestation on a Pixel 2/XL

Theres pre-requisite of installing my module that people pass safetynet, so far not a single Pixel 2/XL user has reported anything but basic attestation. Since the GPay module is one of the main cases for needing to pass safetynet, it would show up here one would think.

Other newer devices do, including newer Pixels, but thats easily passed by using MagiskHide Props Config (option 2) to force basic...its by no means a showstopper

So you two have the only cases ive ever heard of.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] phantranphuc:
First custom rom after few years. Very impressed rom:

- Smooth as 10 or previous. Haven't had any issues at all. Stock 11 is nightmare.

- Google pay works out of the box.

- Permission manager is super.

- Battery is obviously better than stock 11.

Thank you very much for your rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kastik4:
Ok so I flashed this rom a couple hours ago and boy this rom is fast, it's smooth, it's responsive and clean I loved it. The only thing that it's bugging me is that Google Photos isn't recognizing this as a pixel and doesn't give you Unlimited Original Storage, That wouldn't be a problem but Google is going to stop giving Unlimited Compressed storage in some months and pixes are the only phones that get to keep it, I would love to see Google photos being fixed. Anyways this is a great rom well done op
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
LEDs, anyone noticing if LEDs work? I'm not sure, but I don't think they are working. I didn't catch it at first, but I'm not getting any LED light ups for notifications or anything at all now but I can't recall if I ever got any. I don't have anything unusual installed or configured and even out of the box, I don't recall seeing any LED notifications but I just now noticed it may not be working.

I'm not complaining, I can live without them for the time being, but I'm curious if it's just me or a bug I should review.

Quick update, I am getting a single notification LED popup once (doesn't repeat) that I missed when an email came in. What's weird is (and why I assumed it wasn't working) is because only one 3rd party app lit it up but not charging or texts using the native app (so system notifications do not seem to light up). IDK I may redo my setup just to rule out anything on my side but I'd be curious to hear if anyone else notices LED notification issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
fwiw i just installed and this is the way i did it, pretty much as i do every ROM

I used NikGapps full (because open gapps currently only has a nano 11 package, i normally use Aroma, this is a as close as you can get to full gapps now) and had my custom config file under sdcard/NikGapps - i like to cherry pick whats installed

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

adb shell rm -r sdcard/Android (leave the rest of sdcard alone, avoid wiping everything, ymmv)

adb push proton-aosp_taimen_11.2.0.zip /tmp

adb shell twrp install /tmp/proton-aosp_taimen_11.2.0

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

adb push NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20201108-signed.zip /tmp

adb shell twrp install /tmp/NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20201108-signed

adb reboot system

complete setup, and enable USB debugging in Developer Settings

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

adb push magisk.zip /tmp

adb shell twrp install /tmp/magisk.zip

reinstalled my apps backup using migrate...

looking good so far!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] doctorew:
Love the throwback Easter egg in 11!

What's migrate?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Its a backup/migration app: here (and in my signature)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You're free to choose whatever you want to use but I've had much better luck using TiB than migrate. It does everything migrate does plus a butt load more. I've found migrate fails to restore cross platforms, whereas TiB works across pretty much all platforms. To each his or her own, so I'm just throwing it out there so you have options. I also like to keep things simple as I've found simple approach offers a better chance at success, and TiB is super easy to use with a very high success rate. I do own the paid license from many moons ago so I don't quite remember if everything is included in the free (unlicensed version) or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] godlyitem:
i have a hard time flashing magisk....It's either twrp goes missing after i done flashing the rom or the magisk won't show up...help...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] proel:
Either flash Magisk or TWRP, you can't use both (idk why but it brakes some stuff)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
You don't need TWRP, just adb TWRP when needed, flash magisk in TWRP and enjoy root but forget about recovery until needed. adb TWRP when needed
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] godlyitem:
So here are my steps

adb flash twrp -> flash rom + gapp = normally goes into the OS. I wanted to flash magisk in the first step as well but apparent;y it doesn't work unless i flash it after i boot into the OS. However, once i boot into the OS, i can't go back to flash magisk without twrp. so im stuck in a loop....

PS: seems like after i got the OS working and fastboot twrp then flash magisk causes a bootloop...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I used the same process more or less and used the very latest MAGISK zip in TWRP and didnt loop, I did have a loop when I used MAGISK to patch the boot.img, but installing the latest .zip worked fine. I used the ROM+GAPP version, from BL, I ADB TWRP, wiped everything including /data format twice on everything, then rebooted BL and ADB TWRP again, then installed the ROM (ADB push to SD the ROM.zip because we previously wiped SD), then once the OS is installed, I wipe everything a second time (because now the partitions are correct, I.E vendor) so TWRP doesn't throw the errors. Then I reboot to BL again, ADB TWRP, install ROM (with GAPPS included), once ROM is installed, I reboot to system (do not install TWRP app). I then setup the device how I like it to be, then rebooted to BL, ADB TWRP, and installed MAGISK .zip (latest) from TWRP, reboot to system and done. Make sure it is the latest MAGISK since older ones were designed for 10 and not yet 11. The latest version works great for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tripLr:
Installing now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gh0st:
I dont think flashing twrp is recommended. I did this as well and although it didnt bootloop, I could not boot into twrp after flashing magisk. I just fastboot into twrp when needed. Too bad because I wanted to flash roms without the need to use a pc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:

Anybody found a way to set "photos" storage to unlimited on this ROM ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Khizar Amin:
One of the best ROMs I have used so far on this phone. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
If you mean that the "Next" button is grayed out, that's because you need to click one of the version cards (minimal or gapps) to download the ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sk4zzy:
Having issues as well with installing the Pixel Launcher on a fresh install of the G-Apss ROM through the Web Installer.

Have installed QuickSwitch before and after the latest apk of the launcher from APKMirror and the App Suggestions doesn't work. Pressing on/off and on again gives me the "App suggestions are disabled" message on home screen.

I have provided some screenshots for reference.

Either way thanks a lot @kdrag0n for your efforts and an awesome ROM.

P.S. - Is there any chance we can get a baked in Pixel Launcher into one of the future ROM builds?! Pretty sure I am not alone in this since we're talking about a Pixel phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mariospizza:
Is it possible to have the Pixel Laucher as the recents provider in this ROM using some Magisk module or some other method, since it seems that using QuickSwitch does not work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sk4zzy:
A follow up to the Pixel Launcher debacle - managed to do install and make it work properly this time, from scratch. It just needs to follow a scecific procedure.

1. Download the latest supported aicp OS build, TWRP image and optionally the TWRP installer zip.

2. Reboot to bootloader

3. Wipe userdata (fastboot format userdata)

4. Fastboot into TWRP recovery (fastboot boot twrp.img)

5. Flash the latest build of aicp OS

6. Reboot to bootloader and fastboot TWRP again

7. Flash Nikgapps (I have used the stock build, fulll didn't work for me saying I don't have enough space)

8.Wide User Data and Reboot to System (don't install the TWRP app) This is the part I was missing before and it kept on flashing and not installing anything.

9. (Optional) Flash custom kernel / TWRP / Magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mariospizza:
@sk4zzy when you say "aicp OS" do you mean ProtonAOSP or am I missing something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sk4zzy:
Yeah any should work, but in my case I tried Proton.

P.S. Also does anyone know what happened to the Google Pay functionality on the Power Menu?

[Update: Confirmed for Android 10] Google Pay could live in power menu w/ 'Cards & Passes'

A future release of Android Q could bring Google Pay cards to the power menu, and we've got a sneak peek of the functionality in Beta 4.

It did not work as it should for me, in the sense that the OCR capability in the Recents overview is missing.

it just stops working after its downloaded and goes through the steps it resets the phone and the installer quits sometime during installing system.im using a 32bit dino though now, my computer took a dive and i cant afford a new one rn. could it be failing at a point because im on 32 bit.

its actually shutting down during unpacking image
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sk4zzy:

GUYS THIS IS IT GUYS !

Pixel 2xl is my secondary device with iphone 11 being my daily driver for the past year. I've been meaning to make pixel 2xl as my daily driver because of its superb camera and it being an android (duh). I don't want to carry multiple device so i choose to stick to pixel 2xl (due to my work requires me to use drive, sheets, keep and gmail)

What's this rom has given me?

The fantastic and smooth ui ! Switching between apps is super smooth, multitasking was superb ! This rom has given my pixel 2xl the same performance and battery life to my brother's Pixel 4a !

I don't usually gives comment on xda but switching from stock a11 to this rom was my brilliant choice. Go ahead and install this using the web recommended by op. 5 star rom in my opinion ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
Pixel Launcher will never be included because it's proprietary and prevents us from making changes to the launcher. The plan is to add recents text selection to AOSP Launcher3 once I get around to working on it. Is there anything else you're looking for from Pixel Launcher?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alaviss:
Can the choice of Roboto/Noto Serif as the system font be made available? I'm not a huge fan of the Inter/Source Serif Pro combination.

The ROM is otherwise excellent, thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alaviss:
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the notification for USB connection seems to have been removed. I usually use it to toggle my phone to MTP mode since it's much faster than browsing through settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CrankyOutlaw:
It's not a bug, connect your device then go to settings/connected devices. You're welcome.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alaviss:
Is it an Android 11 thing? The notification was very helpful for me (one tap to get to usb settings), sad to see it go away :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shateeel:
Great ROM! It was an absolute pleasure to install this using the web installer. No problem faced during installation. Thanks OP!

Battery life got significantly better on my Pixel 2XL and the device got smooth like a butter.

Just wondering what are some tweaks that I can get out of this ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
I would like to add more font options, but Android's font customization system is nearly useless because it only affects select system apps: Settings, System UI, and the launcher.

No, it was removed in ProtonAOSP because it's inconsistent with other settings and adds clutter to the notification shade.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
ProtonAOSP 11.3.3 is now available with many bug fixes and under-the-hood updates.

Changes:

Install in browser for a quick and easy installation process (recommended)

Download

As the ProtonAOSP project expands to support more devices, bandwidth and maintenance costs are increasing. You can help support the project and keep it alive with a recurring donation, or alternatively buy me a coffee. Everything helps, but a recurring donation is the best way to keep the project alive in the long term.

Well I am still not able to dirty flash using the web installer mode. Then I had to use the clean install option :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
Installed 11.3.3 seems stable,dirty flashed through recovery, clear package cache if you see issues for settings
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
The problem with dirty flashing on the Pixel 2 series has been finally been identified. It's already fixed for the next version, which may be released in a few days. It has nothing to do with the web installer or the "device is stuck" error.

An easy workaround for now is to run the following command and reboot: adb shell su -c rm -fr /data/system/package_cache
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
The web installer has been updated to fix false-positive "device is stuck" errors specific to the Pixel 2 (walleye).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Trying to dirty flash to latest via TWRP ended as i expected.....badly, needing a full clean (re)install

I know some people often ask on ROM threads here for the boot image from a ROM, as some like to have one either for magisk installs the boot.img patch way, or when that goes wrong and they need to boot again using a stock boot.img :)

On my travels today i found a paypload.bin dumper that doesnt require a python install and runs as a normal .exe on Windows x64 - It *may* trigger AV due to hang a compiled program signature, but is safe - any doubts, do it the longer harder way:

Hey guys .....having a little problem i keep getting a "Sim Manager Keeps Stopping" notification every couple of minutes non stop , i was wondering if anyone has had this ? I'm on the gapless build and i also dont have a sim card in it , just wondering if not having a sim card installed is the reason for this ? and also when i connect phone to a computer it only shows mtp device , and im unable to access any folders in the phone , just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
On balance one might draw the conclusion that having no SIM in it and getting a SIm Manager error might be related :)

Assume youre using it for a purpose other than a phone...and plan to do so for a while...

You cant disable in natively. You can remove it via magisk and the debloater magisk module (reversible) on the magisk repo or here (if using form this link, ignore the installation via recovery info, just install via Magisk Manager) :https://xdaforums.com/t/module-terminal-debloater-v17-3-2-debloat-systemlessly.3584163/

2 SIM Manager references under menu option 5 in Debloater

Not sure if there will be side effects as no one i know has ever tried stopping SIM Manager, but you do you :)

Debloater is what i use one every ROM to remove stuff i will never use ...

MTP: you need to unlock the device once for it to populate the folders on the PC
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
This is currently an issue on most Pixel ROMs that is caused by not having gapps installed. It will be fixed properly in a future build, but you can use the following command for now if you don't want to install Gcam-Services-Provider or microG:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.euicc
