Hello thanks for the build it's been working flawlessly for a while now.

Does anybody have any information on how to solve the following problem?

wwhen I try to connect the pixel xl 2 to a router a connection is made but the phone displays a "no Internet" error. The curious part is I can connect to the same router from an iPhone and from a laptop and browse Internet successfully.

I tried resetting Wi-Fi and network settings on the phone but that doesn't work. Problem still persists.

Problem solved after resetting all routers and modems several times. And Actually reconfiguring the router. Well maybe this is a network problem And not a build problem. I don't know. You guys can delete the posts if you want to. But actually already happened twice with the same phone And the buildd. A lot of people have posted about this prroblem On the Internet using Different types of androids.

I have experienced this in this build over the past month. Didn't realise it was a build issue. I was thinking that my subscriber is becoming a headache at times. I'll try switching ROM to check if it's addressed. Not sure where to go, quiet settled here with everything working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jdmst77:
I have 2 2XLs and we haven't turned them into daily drivers yet because Android 12 may be on the cusp and I really don't feel like setting up 2 phones if I have to format data

Since we don't heavily use the phones yet, I've just been keeping them updated every few days (magisk, ROM, and Play Store updates). I noticed that internet does drop from time to time. Sometimes I have to Airplane them on/off to get it back and sometimes I have to reboot the phone. Since it happens with both devices (latest build 202111008-0807), I think we can rule out hardware. I only have gapps, Battery Charge Limit, AdAway (from Fdroid), and Magisk installed... no other apps

I don't know when this started but since you mentioned WiFi issues, I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ViperX85:
There's a serious amount lag when launching and using camera app. Not always and not all the time but it is often. It also lags sometimes when swiping up to return to home screen.

Even tried playing with different kernels but it's still the same. Anyone else experiencing the same, or has a solution?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kröte:
Hey guys I appreciate everyone's input. I'm just posting to clarify my issue. It's only happened twice in like four months. And it has to do with networking issues like using several routers and modems switches in the same network. So The phone and build uses wifi perfectly like 99.6 percent of the timme and when it fails it's more of a complex network issue.

Also even computers and drivers And hardware from the mmost expensive retail stores come with issues. Nothing strange about this.

Has anyone experienced any audio problems using this ROM? I have installed Pixel Experience Plus on my Pixel 2 XL and it is running flawlessly except for the audio. When I play Spotify or even my alarm clock starts to play sounds it breaks. It just gets silent for a few seconds and then continues. With alarm clock app it happens always, with Spotify it is more likely to happen when there is a notification coming from any other app (I have muted sounds of notifications, I only have vibrations). If it would be helpful I can try to grab some logs from my phone.

@PixelBoot

On Saturday November 13, I could use Google Pay contactless payment, but after installing the November Security Update, it now says "phone might be rooted or using unsecure software". Does anyone know if this is new for the November Security Update, or if there is any fix for it? Thanks.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
Installed PixelExperience 11 Plus with October patch and passed SafetyNet. Updated to November and Google Pay contactless stopped working, so I guess that would be a SafetyNet fail then...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
@PixelBoot

Thank you so muck for the SafetyNet patch! <3

I installed it and according to "SafetyNet Helper Sample"-app it does in fact pass the test.

However, Google Pay still doesn't seem to believe it. I am investigating how I can make it work. I tried clearing app cache and reinstalling the app but it didn't work. I am in no way familiar with Android processes. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Rule #2 of Google Pay (Rule #1 is make sure you pass SafetyNet first):

Toggle Airplane mode on

Clear data for Google Play Store, Google Pay (optional but recommended, but will remove any loyalty cards you have) and Google Play Service (Settings > All Apps (toggle Show System) the search for and clear data for these packages)

Reboot

Toggle Airplane mode off

Wait 5 minutes

Check Google Play Store is certified (Google Play -> Settings, scroll to bottom) - as long as it doesnt say Not Certified, you should be golden

Add card and test
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
Thank you! Very detailed and easy to follow instructions! I will try this right away.

Could you just please confirm that by "clear data" you mean both app storage and cache?

Also, clearing storage in the Play Services seems to delete most of my account information including device cloud backup. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and reconfigure these things?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
@73sydney

I followed the instructions and cleared both storage and cache, and after rebooting I waited a little over 5 minutes before checking Play Store. Before clearing data it said "Device is certified", but after rebooting and waiting 5 minutes it said nothing at all in that Play Store menu. The row for certification status was missing.

So I took my chances and opened Google Pay, where if you enter the left side menu and select "Configure contactless", then you can see straight away if the device is compliant or not. Mine said it was! So I tried adding two cards and it worked! Last step, I went back to Play Store to check the verification status, and the row had reappeared and displayed a reaffirming "Device is certified". Most likely I had to wait a little longer than 10 minutes for the startup processes to finish.

Thank you so much for your help! Now I just have to reconfigure safety backups and whatever else might have been deleted. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Clearing Google Play Store/ Services wont remove your account from the device

If it said Certified before you cleared the data, then the issue may have just been in Google Pay itself

Yes it does take more than 5 minutes for the Certified status to turn up after a wipe, but like i said as long as it doesnt say Not Certified, youre fine, it usually just shows the version while its in limbo, this is as good as a Certified...well ive certainly never seen it return to Not Certified after a data clear :)

As for backups, non-cloud (ive never used Google Backup in all my years on Android as unlike most people think, it DOESNT backup all apps or apps data, that functionality has to be enabled per app, by the developer), you may wish to look at Migrate (free), for local backup:

[APP][ROOT][5.0+][1st Nov 2020] Migrate - custom ROM migration tool

Jumping from one custom ROM to another can be a challenging task. So I decided to make an app to simplify the process. Introducing Migrate! Migrate-GPE (v4.0) is on Google Play It was temporarily suspended. Read more here...

xdaforums.com

And how i use it (the simple way, as i have in the past used it 2, 3 times a week in ROM testing. It will let you backup your apps, app data and permission per app, and is handy if youre migrating Android versions or just swapping between ROM's):

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-pixel-2-xl-official-protonaosp-11.4188109/post-85520241

I regularly then just copy the /Migrate folder off the device to my PC and safe as houses
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
Maybe, but I tried to clear the data in Google Pay and Play Store without success. Although I did not enter airplane mode.

Thanks for the tip! I was planning to update to Android 12 eventually, but I definitely dont wanna set upp all my apps again, its exhausting. I'm sure there is a FAQ somewhere, but do I have to root the phone, and would that add complications in any other regard when it comes to compliance with security features or other apps? I believe I have seen some apps not accepting rooted phones, but I could be mistaken, while other apps need root access.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
Yup, not being in airplane mode might have been a contributor

Migrate is how i got from Android 9 to Android 10, and from Android 10 to 11, and from Android 11 to 12...i trust you can see a pattern here....all without needing to reinstall and setup 99% of my apps again...thats why its in my signature and i recommend it.

To use Migrate you do have to use root. But since you have root (Magisk) installed anyways....

Magisk does have features and/or modules that can stop *most* apps from detecting it. All my root sensitive apps, including my banking app for my Bank, plus Samsung Pay (when i used it with my previous Samsung Active 2 Watch - thankfully Watch 4 can use Google Pay, removing 1 less app to hide root from) had no issues when running on my rooted 2XL. Banking apps are usually the apps that create the most grief, though most are able to work....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OldschoolWarfare:
Ahh, awesome!

Sorry for asking so many unadvanced questions. I haven't used a custom ROM since back on a Nexus 5 which then got retired by a broken power button lol.

I interpret this as Magisk is pre-installed in PixelExperience? But I honestly don't know how to access it...

Does Migrate allow you to save the app grid layout and background/theme together with the system settings like Google Backup does? Is such a system backup compatible with a new device, or at least the app data? So if I were to update to Pixel 6, would it be possible to flash a backup to it or will it be corrupt in any way due to a new hardware?

I did read the authors initial post but didn't see these points being addressed there, nor in the Play Store description.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
No ROM has magisk built in, needs to be flashed separately after ROM flash. Form your previous comments about SafetyNet Patch, i assumed you had flashed magisk before......

As i said, ive never used Google backup in my entire Android life, so i cant comment on that. It would be entirely safe to keep Google backup enabled AND restore a Migrate restore after running Google Restore, to restore those apps (and there would be plenty) that Google Backup doesnt save app data for...

I can tell you Migrate may backup the home screen app grid or theme or whatever, depending on the launcher. Launchers sometimes have their own backup facility. I use Nova and its settings are backed up in Migrate - all 3 columns ticked App - App Data - Permissions. As mentioned, most apps can have all 3 columns ticked, just some secure apps like banking ones you usually save time not ticking the centre (app Data) column and just sign in after restore...as opposed to ticking the column, and then having to clear app data after restore before you can sign in again...

A Migrate backup should make restoring to Pixel 6 just fine...it will complain it hasnt been tested on anything beyond Android 11, but ive already doen it half a dozen times successfully on Android 12...

( i still use the Nova settings app to save a backup of its settings separately, because always have 2 backups of stuff, its ingrained in me after 35 years of IT).

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iisreflect:
Hello,

Pixel 2 XL running Android 12 beta build on november security patch.

Unsure if its been mentioned but the only issue i've encountered so far is that I dont't think the Google photos unlimited storage is functioning as the device is recognized as a Pixel 5? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Other than that everything seems to be functioning as intended.

Edit: Found another issue, media playback seems to stutter or stop when the display turns off

Hello, I have had the PixelExperience rom for a long time and installing the updates normally, but since the last one I cannot use the user certificates with my cell phone to identify myself on the web pages that request it. It gives me a warning that the system does not support user certificates. This previously did not happen and I could use the user certificates without problems. Any solution?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dimpoblimpo:
Start by installing another rom to rule out an issue with this ROM, that way you won't have to post irrelevant problems you're facing here due to dropping your phone.

Goodluck mate

I suggest that you flash Stock A11, December 2020 version. It is available on the Android developers website. If that runs fine, try flashing ABC A11 Rom to see if there are any problems with a stock like custom rom.

Looks like flashing stock and then PE (Android 11) has resolved the problem, no random shutdowns yet. 🙂

7 months later I finally got this installed tonight and is working beautifully. I know there's a Android 12 version of this Rom now but I'm perfectly happy and satisfied with this one.

It is certified fast, stable and force close free.

If for any reason I have any issues I'll transition to the new version of this one instead.

I was very close to going out and getting a new Pixel 5A and replacing my tiamen because I gave up hope on flashing any Rom at all after so many issues on my end last year.

The way I was able to get this installed was with the PE recovery and not TWRP. Following the install instructions on the PE website and that's it. Truly flawless.

Many thank you to any and all involved with the development. We all owe you big time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend221:
All working without issue on my end, I am currently fresh installed a few hours ago.

TWRP was not working on installing PE or any other Rom regardless of developer on my device, perhaps try to use PE recovery if you attempting flashing using TWRP.

Great rom, performance is great. The only issue I have noticed so far is that Google Photos is treating the phone as a Pixel 1 and won't let me choose the "High Quality" backup and the original backup option count's against the quota of Google drive as this isn't a Pixel 1
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 73sydney:
I can answer this as i just flashed the ROM, and i am the maintainer of the GPay Magisk Module....

I just literally posted this on the Gpay Magisk thread (and Yes, you need Magisk installed, but not (so far it seems, my module)):

So i got my new card and can use GPay again

Does one need GPay Magisk Module on a Pixel 2XL and an 11 ROM?, lets see...

Flashed a new ROM clean (Pixel Experience ROM)

1) Magisk Manager - check Safetynet passes - CTS not passed and GP Store not certified (expected)

2) Enable MagiskHide

3) Airplane mode on

4) Cleared data for Google Play Store and Google Play Service

6) Reboot

7) Airplane mode off

8) Google Play Store certified

9) Magisk Manager - check Safetynet passes - OK (must have Universal SafetyNet Fix Integrated in ROM as without on 11 on my device its needed)

10) Added card...issuer sends code, verified and card added

Need to test in store but fully expect it to pass

I had had to swap banks during COVID and it didnt support Google Pay, so ive been out of the loop re Google Pay for a few months, but back now - new bank, new card
