First I really like this Rom, I tried Lineage OS for a wild and I find this one to suit me better. I would like to thank the persons that do the job of maintaining it.

There is only one issue, some apps glitch/crash, and I can't figure why. It happened on the last 3 releases of this Rom, tried clean install, clearing cache, reinstalling app. One example been TikTok, after a few minutes (could be like 10 min) the video freeze (sound continue, and you can hear if you swipe to a new video) and after a few seconds the app crash. That happen only on this Rom, and I know it is not the worst, but it's still annoying. It might be some kind of memory management or the scheduler for the GPU... I don't know.

I may try EX kernel to see I that fix the problem, only thing is with EX you get stuck a 0.5amp charging.

Hello, just swapped stock to PE+, everything seems fine, but unlocking the phone with screen off makes it pop-up instantly, on stock screen lights up smoothly

Maybe there a setting i dont know about or it's a bug? Can it be fixed?

Thanks for the build, btw)

I have the same issue in Pixel 2 (Walleye). Agriculture bank of China doesn't load pages same as the mini apps in Alipay. I have posted it in the thread of Pixel 2 as well.

Maybe it's because of the build-in webview app...?

Thanks for this ROM, it is working great and has double the performance of my phone and battery life.

Everything is working well except android auto. It keeps going into a weird state where it can't launch when plugged in. The car screen goes back and the phone says it's in driving mode but AA does not load. I have to then unplug, go into settings and force stop AA. Then it works after that. It seems to happen 2/3 times. 1/3 it works as intended.

I've tested in both my car (using Headunit reloaded AA emulator) and on a real car (Kia Cerato) and the same issue happens on both.

Please advise if there is anything I can try? Didn't have this issue on stock or previous room (PixelDust)

Hi everyone. When i installing PE Plus edition on status bar showing LTE not 4G. before showed 4G. On previous build. How can fix that? Thank you
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Mine shows 4G, because thats what its connected to currently, at least in Australia LTE is between 3G and 4G and apparently your carrier is connecting you currently at LTE speeds

4G, LTE, LTE-A, and 4G+: What is the difference?

When it comes to picking the fastest data carrier, there are lots of choices, but what's the difference between 4G vs LTE?

www.androidauthority.com

Some ROMs do allow you to toggle the name change from LTE to 4G, but PE isnt one of them
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
hi @73sydney - since you have good knowledge in tweaking stuff, I was wondering if you could help me with something. My carrier (india - Jio , but doesnt matter ) supports Wifi-Calling for Pixel 5. Custom ROMs like fluid 1.2 and PD were posing as Pixel 5 and hence feature was enabled there. But nowadays, ROMs are all with authentic P2XL and hence only cellular is what I get.

So what all places you want me to try changing settings that would make my Taimen appear as Pixel 5 to my carrier in Pixel Experiece/Custom ROMs. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cbasse:
I've experienced similar issues with Android Auto. Was working fine for a while, then recently (last week or so?) has started exhibiting sporadic issues.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
You might want to ask the dev's of those ROM's what props they set for it to be viewed as a Pixel 5, i have no idea since i havent ever been able to flash either of those for other reasons...

It would im guessing involve setting certain build.prop entries to change the model, but you would also then need to set valid fingerprints to pass SafetyNet - you could potentially use MagiskHide Props Config, to do both systemlessly (reversibly) via magisk

See these sections of the documentation

Changing fingerprint: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-R...md#use-vendor-fingerprint-for-treble-gsi-roms

Adding props: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-R...master/README.md#changeset-custom-prop-values

But youre going to need those props to start with, sorry but im not able to download 1gb just to extract those for you, so i would PM the dev of one of the ROM's you know the feature works on

Changing to Pixel 5 *may* be as simple as adding any/all the following props via MHPC (i grabbed these from online search):

ro.product.product.device=redfin

ro.product.product.model=Pixel 5

ro.product.product.name=redfin

ro.product.vendor.device=redfin

ro.product.vendor.model=Pixel 5

ro.product.vendor.name=redfin

ro.product.device=redfin

ro.product.model=Pixel 5

ro.product.name=redfin

ro.product.system_ext.device=redfin

ro.product.system_ext.model=Pixel 5

ro.product.system_ext.name=redfin

ro.product.odm.device=redfin

ro.product.odm.model=Pixel 5

ro.product.odm.name=redfin

But there may be other props needed to enable the functionality youre looking for...ask the devs

Generally i don't really agree with setting props to a different device because it can have serious side effects, beyond adding what some consider features that your actual device doesnt support...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HR-21:
I have 2 mathod but both way your P2XL must be rooted.

1. If you want to change your device fingerprint to pixel 5 then i will suggest you to use this Mod.

Releases · ayush5harma/PixelFeatureDrops

Magisk Module for Pixel Feature Drops that adds the system files for the same and spoof using the latest device fingerprint from Google Pixel . - ayush5harma/PixelFeatureDrops

github.com

It will not just change device fingerprint to pixel 5 but also add more functionality like assistant 2.0 and more...

Alert: this mod is not working or Leg in April security patch, better to try after getting PE May security patch.

2. I am using Airtel cellular and officially P2xl do not support VoLTE but i used 2 magisk module to make it work.

First flash selinux_permissive_v2.0.zip

Then flash VoLTE_enabler_pixel_2_v1_1.zip

Reboot

Open settings app

Select Network & Internet

Select Mobile Network

Turn on Volte & WIFI calling if it is not turned on automatically.

Open dialer app and press *#*#4636#*#*

Click on Phone information

Click on 3 dot menu and select "IMS Service Status"

If everything is working it will show status as Available.

I am not connected to Wifi so it is showing unavailable but it is actually working.

Screenshots added.

I have not created any files so all Credit goes to respective developer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] D@re D€\/¡!:
Yes even i had the similar issue, so I figured out a temporary workaround until dev fixes it. Just turn off now playing - "show songs on lock screen" from settings and you won't notice that annoying pause in your playing media again. 😁

On this new PE Plus build(20210514), I am only seeing 1 wallpaper & ability to use 'My Photos', However, earlier there were many wallpapers ranging from Cityscapes, colours, earth, objects etc. All these wallpapers are not available now. Anyone else facing it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Green-Bot:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Is it just me or is the new build a little bit more aggressive at killing background processes/apps?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] palimatix:
You are not alone ! :)

Am facing it too for the first time in PE. Mine happens when its in idle state. That is even more confusing.

The issue of agresssive proc has crept into here as well. Devs really need to iron out such forced efforts related check-ins in GIT.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
@PixelBoot ....

Cheers for confirming @palimatix

Im used to most 11 ROMs being overly aggressive in the push for performance, i just wish devs would choose stability over performance and benchmarks....this build seems to be over the top. My Active 2 breaks connection every 30 seconds at worst (yes i have the relevant package non-battery optimized)...very annoying to have my wrist vibrate all the time...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Rolling back to previous version. I very nearly threw my phone out of the window today...as I was trying to do things like pay for my transport pass the bloody notification sound was sounding every 30 seconds as background processes were being killed...ones that kept my transport pass payment from going through...I was worried I was going to get double or triple charged...

My watch continually getting it's connection severed every 30 seconds and the notification chimes that the watch apps were then restarting was also maddening...

The latest build is borked

New Proton build is up, might test that for a while

My top tip for PE...stop building for performance, its killing the ROM's stability

Proton gets it right

How much SoT (screen on time) could i get on average
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
how is it aggressive to point out my own post, directly above yours, which has the answers?

🤦
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
SoT is not something ive thought about since my last device to be honest

Personally since Android 11 im generally looking for stability

I really dont monitor SoT, since being stuck at home, that was something that was far more important before COVID when i was out every day :)

But someone else may be able to give you their experience

Most ROM's come with stockish kernels. If you want more customisability, look at:

Sultan Kernel Plus

https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-11-0-0-sultan-kernel-plus-may-12-2021.4263747/

and maybe use this to fiddle with the settings:

SmartPack Kernel Manager

SmartPack-Kernel Manager - Apps on Google Play

The ultimate tool to manage your kernel

play.google.com

or a popular alternate kernel:

Elemental X

https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-september-8-pixel-2-xl-elementalx-4-07-android-11.3719079/

I would suggest ElementalX-P2-4.07 as the current one (4.10) via the Ex Kernal Manager bootloops for most people

Please note: Kernels are best flashed via TRWP, which is generally best to fastboot on Android 11

i.e.

with platform tools downloaded (and USB debugging enabled) at a command prompt:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-xxxx.img

enable adb sideload in TWRP

then adb sideload <kernal.zip>

then

adb reboot system

From memory these kernels dont require you to reflash magisk - at least ElementalX didnt when i flashed it last night for the first time in ages...if you do need to flash magisk again, you can flash it using the same commands above, substituting:

adb sideload <magisk.zip>

download latest version of magisk app, rename to magisk.zip

Note: You *may need to install the magisk app (apk) after flashing this way. I keep a copy of the magisk.apk and a renamed magisk.zip for this reason.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tekhtime:
Hi, I have two questions which probably have already been asked:

- Do we need to wipe internal storage when flashing from Stock ROM?

- Can we flash without TWRP recovery? If yes, how are OTA updates applied?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Singularity_iOS:
Not sure about wiping internal storage, but I know that they have included their own OTA app in the ROM and it works flawlessly. never missed a beat so far for me. I get an update every month with the latest security patch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
While its always best to backup sdcard (internal) and wipe, on most ROMs you can usually get by by deleting the /sdcard/Android folder via file manager in TWRP (fastbooted) if coming from another ROM, for first install

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:

https://xdaforums.com/attachments/volte_enabler_pixel_2_v1_1-zip.4788885/

and you may need (according to this https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-enable-volte-for-unsupported-carriers.3892659/post-84359011) - i cant remember if i needed it when i tested it:

magisk module: selinux_permissive_v2

https://github.com/evdenis/selinux_permissive/releases/download/v2.0/selinux_permissive_v2.zip

source (note you dont need to do all the crazy stuff in the OP, just flash the attached module, linked above) :

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-enable-volte-for-unsupported-carriers.3892659/

Is it working?

dial *#*#4636#*#*

after update with factory images you will have to re-do this steps
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Riddlah:
Thanks for this. Just finished flashing and installed the VoLTE_enabler_pixel_2_v1_1 module. The Wi-Fi Calling options were available and confirmed I could make a call with airplane mode enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Well that seems to have worked better than i hoped....my carrier doesnt do voice over WiFi...just VoLTE
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
@PixelBoot

The ROM still has killing issues, now its killing wifi routinely....first it marks it as Low Quality (first time ive EVER seen that in Android history), and then it kills the WiFi completely

1) Turn off the unit.

2) Take out the battery. Leave it for 1 minute.

3) Place back the battery.

4) Do hard reset combo button (Red + Green + Power On button)

5) Complete the WM6 configuration, turn off the phone.

6) Remove the battery. Leave it for 1 minute.

7) Place back the battery and do your ROM update via Mirage or .EXE file.

Its kinda easy. Open folder with samsung cdma drivers u have installed and launch uninstall executive. Wait untill progres is finish. Then start updater and when phone part is going to try to flash, open "devices" in system, and uninstall cdma modem driver manually. then reset pc.

Afterwards install driver again. flash!

Success!
