im using raspberry pi with raspios 64 bit. only computer i have now and only os that actually worked upgrading to 1.5.2 from 1.3.0. with the new magisk app it said you need to flash the patched img now not the zip. was just making sure before i mess anything up again without the time or backup phone to fix anything. been working way to much to relearn how to fix my phone in linux again.... for now. the raspberry pi os is just debian baeed 64 bit so a .deb package is what it takes.

When installing this rom using web app, does it also install december update with bootloader, radio, and boot img? or should i flash stock December first then wipe again and flash this? ive searched and found boot img for sure, not sure about the rest. im still on pixeldust Aug android 10.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend221:
Just giving my review of this Rom. It is smooth, fast and fc free. Truly a gem that most people don't know about but wished they had.

Been on xda for many years and finally got around installing it. Everything works great and is a huge improvement overall. The battery is also much better vs stock. Since I was having a problem with TWRP I was thrilled to see that the webinstaller worked flawlessly.

Donation coming soon to the dev.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend221:
Last night the ROM would not boot after I entered the security lockscreen password and just kept a black screen, if I touched the phone it would vibrate. Had 75% charge and there was no way to get into it. I ended up flashing last official stock ROM onto the phone and all is working normally now.

When I get the chance I may try this one again.

How do it upgrade from Bliss 12.12 (10) without loosing and apps and data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Changing from one ROM to another, you cant just flash hope it all works

I would recommend a backup of anything you love on sdcard, and then also of apps and data

For me the backup app i use is free and is here: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-5-0-1st-nov-2020-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/

How i use it is here: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-5-...stom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/post-85209583

I'll repost the pertinent parts of that post here in more obvious Backup and Restore sections:

Note: Migrate requires root (Magisk) to backup and restore, as it backs up apps AND app data (oh and permissions, call logs/SMS etc)

Initial Setup (only needed once)

Install (if you dont have them already):

Migrate Main app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate​

Migrate Flasher module: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate.flasher​

Migrate Helper Module: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate.helper​

MyAPK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa​

Then open MyAPK, locate and backup to /sdcard/Migrate (this only needs to be done once, to backup the files):

Migrate Flasher Module​

Migrate Helper Module​

Note: You dont need to keep a copy of the main Migrate app, because that will be included of course in your backup

Backup process:

Create a backup in Migrate

Copy the /sdcard/Migrate folder off device for extra safe keeping, in case you HAVE to format /data when installing new ROM

Restore process (after creating a backup each time):

Flash ROM as per usual

Install Magisk

If you did have to format data during ROM flash, copy the Migrate folder back to /sdcard

Go to /sdcard/Migrate folder and install:

Migrate Helper Module​

Migrate Flasher Module​

Run Migrate Flasher Module after install, and flash zips (make sure to select all, scroll to check you have selected all)

At completion it will ask you to open Migrate Helper Module, which will be already installed, open it and flash the apps you want to restore

Finalize/Uninstall

Device will reboot

Setup ROM settings as usual

Re-login into apps that need logging in

Life is easy

Note:

Not every app will seamlessly make the migration and run like it did pre migration....case in point, i never tick the data column (centre column) for Samsung Wear, Health or Health Monitor, or my banking apps - i log in to all again after migration. After a while you will figure out which apps to untick data on and just login to those once migrated - it will save you having to clear data on them post migration. Migrate remembers which apps you have selected and or not selected, and which columns you have selected between backups. So make sure if youre doing a backup to check you have ticked any new apps since last backup.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sui77:
Ok, magnaged to make the move from Bliss (10) to Proton (11), so far so good.

However, I have a few things missing:

a) customizing (colors, ...)

b) edge sense can't be modified (long/short)

c) no "terminate active app" by gesture (long swipe)

d) no advanced power menu

Are there any tricks or workarounds for those points?

Any need to change kernel?

I'm not passing savbety net, yet, may Google Play Store is not vertified.

Tried this

Google Pay should work with the following:

MagiskHide enabled in Magisk Manager

Do SafetyNet check in Magisk Manager

If you dont pass SafetyNet, i would be surprised...

If you pass SafetyNet, then next check Play Store is Certified (Google Play Store -> Settings -> About)

If device is uncertified:

Toggle Airplane Mode to On

Clear Data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services

Reboot

Toggle Airplane Mode to Off

Wait 5 minutes

Check Play Store is certified

If Certified, open Google Pay, and add card

Not a single issue with the rom in a few months of use.

Note that I use the standard, bundled google services. The new, google-as-non-system (compatibility layer) sounds really cool, but also may prevent some things from working.

I did have an issue with the web-installer when I tried using a marginally bad cable: it just hung rather than give me an error message.

Remember to read the list of the rom's feature, and what it doesn't do. This is not a rom with a lot of customization.

Finally, it seems that it is no longer able to pass safety net out of the box.

Hey.. I've been trying to install the August minimal update 11.6 for a bit and every time I flash the nikgapps package after flashing the rom, I either get a bootloop issue or a your device is corrupt screen. I've tried the web installer, the factory image, and the ota install and all produce the same outcome. So I went back to the July 11.5.2 rom and everything installs great again. I was just wondering if you could help me out on this problem. thanks..

You may need the latest Universal SafetyNet Fix from here:

To use this new version, you will need Riru, from here (installed first, then reboot, the try USNF above):

GitHub - RikkaApps/Riru: Inject into zygote process

Inject into zygote process. Contribute to RikkaApps/Riru development by creating an account on GitHub.

Do a clear of google play store/services and google pay afterwards, and if still no luck with google pay, remove card and readd...

* Be aware that you should not use the very latest Magisk Alpha (706a4922) with Riru as it has known issues at the moment.

As to fingerprint, it seems fast to me.

I installed the ROM today, and first impressions are rather good. The phone reacts pretty snappily. Will test things in long term. However, one thing, I cannot select text from the Recent overview menu. Is this by design and exclusive to Pixel launcher or something? In that case, is there any way to have it? That's an incredibly time-saving and convenient feature for me.

Are we able to pay with our devices with this Rom? hand free...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
If you mean Google Pay and via NFC, then as long as the ROM passes safetynet (which i believe it should out of the box: see https://protonaosp.kdrag0n.dev/overview) and try testing with an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample , then yes it should work fine. Try adding your card to Google Pay. Post back if you cant get it to work.

Other forms of payment such as Samsung Pay may require more work, as they are NOT natively supported on non-Samsung devices, but i have it working fine on my Samsung Galaxy Active 2 Watch via Magisk and a few modules. You cannot use Samsung Pay on the Pixel itself.

Some banking apps also may not work without more work, again via Magisk and a few modules
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] runekock:
@73sydney @spogz876

My phone no longer passes safety net (though it might be because I installed then removed Magisk - I haven't tried a fresh installation of the rom).

kdrag0n has recently released two major updates to the Universal SafetyNet Fix magisk module. Maybe that's what it takes to pass these days. Probably, the same tricks will be added to the next version of this rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MridulDR:
Yup this is exclusive to pixel launcher.

You can flash the attached file in magisk.

Well, it seems that there are good news and bad news...

I think the included calendar is the useless AOSP version. Lineage and some other roms have chosen to use the Xtar calendar instead.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Correct do not install the TWRP app (at closure of TWRP recovery), and I also do not install TWRP as a recovery (only used as needed by adb). I only adb TWRP when needed to flash zips or clean up the partitions but leave the recovery itself (TWRP) not permanent (flashed to the recovery partition). Instead, I leave the TWRP system app off (meaning I don't install either). TWRP isn't needed to be permanently installed so this keeps TWRP temporary and only for when needed but without the TWRP system app installed. I find its annoying when closing TWRP because unsuspecting users are not aware of what this is and does, but because it's asking at closure, users often install it then causes loop issues or just general issues.

I also have seen many issues with installing the actual TWRP app (bootloops) so this is why I never recommend to install the system TWRP app.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gh0st:
I already flashed TWRP and magisk but did not get a bootloop. The problem is I cannot boot into recovery, is there a way to revert back to the original android recovery? Maybe flash the original recovery from a factory rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
The problem is there is no more recovery partition like it used to be, so its possible you could pull out the boot.img from the ROM .zip using python (payload script), then adb flash boot boot.img. This technically should restore the original boot image and restore the loop issue but I cant test, so I cant confirm (on different ROM now to help a different user in another forum). I am dumping the partitions now to see what options you may have but if it were me, I would simply dirty flash the same ROM over top of the running OS to restore everything back to default but leave your data intact. You will lose TWRP and ROOT but this is OK and should work, but I take no responsibility if it doesnt work because I have no way of testing this method at this time, so backup everything if you can first.

This is what the payload contains, so you could flash the boot.img and hopefully remove the loop but backup first:

View attachment 5137693

Here are the basic steps you would need to do what I suggested (restore the boot.img which should restore the default recovery), this is if you do not want to try a dirty flash of the same OS):

Extract boot.img from the ROM.zip, use python with payload.bin (you will need python 3.8 and payload.bin script found on Google search):

payload_dumper.py payload.bin

Then in bootloader, from ADB, flash the boot.img to your active boot partition

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi all.

Installed the latest a couple days ago.

As noted, google play setup was a little buggy , had to re flash ROM.

In have seen on the pixel2xl that any lineage os based ROM has a install loop issue.

Some users report flashing ROM to both a and b partition may help.

I also wiped data and still had this install issue.

After install, most google apps need secondarily account setup.

So far the only other bug is no WiFi sharing.

Thanks for the build.

Let me know if u want logs. triplr
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
Wi-Fi sharing has never been supported on the Pixel 2 series, even on stock. I've gotten it working on my own device, but I haven't enabled it in my ROM because it's a bit rough around the edges and I haven't gotten around to making it work better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Can you explain the "Google Play" setup being buggy? I do not and have not had this issue so there has to be a deviation in the install process between what you did and what I do. What GAPPs are you using, I use OpenGapps without a hiccup, or did you use the built-in GAPP version? We need more info to sort through whats going wrong, so what is your entire process from end to end? I also follow a very strict process every time, and it works every time, without a hiccup so all we need to sort out is what you did differently and address it. There should be no play setup issues whatsoever (at least I havent had one) and I have rebuilt my device with proton at least 4 times to test and help others in the process. Of the 4 times, I use the same process everytime without failure, bugs or even anything to report. It works so well, I didnt have to work through any play issues at all, it just worked.

When trying to use MiXplorer to extract my Sygic and Here maps to /Android/data they fail...cannot do a straight extract as works on Android 10

Have to extract to another folder first and then move to /Android/data.
