Hello,

Pixel 2 XL running Android 12 PE beta build (Nov 24th) on November security patch.

Issued I've faced:

1. I don't think the Google photos unlimited storage is functioning as the device is recognized as a Pixel 5? I can't find a message in google photos confirming that it's on like on Proton AOSP. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

2. Media playback seems to stutter or stop when the display turns off/goes into always-on display, issue is fixed if I turn off "Now playing" (I use youtube music but I've seen other comments saying it happens on spotify aswell)

3. Now playing does not show information of song playing nearby on lock screen but still shows said song on the actual app

4. Location green indication on the top right randomly keeps coming on

5. At a glance weather and other information doesn't work unless you sideload "Android system intelligence S.10" for pixel 6 off APK Mirror

6. Hardware notification light cannot be disabled, comes on when charging/phone is almost dead

7. FPS counter in developer options does not seem to be functioning

No further issues I've found yet, will update if I do.

anybody having issue with vibrate mode? as in, the phone doesnt vibrate at all when in vibrate mode.

If i enable vibration for ring/notification, it works properly when on normal mode but nothing happens when on vibrate mode. Ideally, I only want it to vibrate when in vibrate mode only but the settings don't appear to allow it.

Now play working well!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
i dont know if you have resolved your issue yet but you can try this fix. i had the same problem on one of my devices...

Type ---> fastboot flash boot_a (directory of and name of boot.img)

wait for that to finish then do the same with one small difference

Type ---> fastboot flash boot_b (directory of and name of boot.img)

doing this will flash to both partitions individually. there is another 2 options that i have seen but one doesnt always work and the other takes longer to complete.

**** ( ) IS NOT USED IN THE FASTBOOT COMMAND ****

This rom is awesome, buttery smooth on a 4-yr old phone. Any idea how to regain the unlimited photo storage for Pixel 2 XL? It seems the phone is current recognized as Pixel 6 Pro so did not get unlimited photo storage.

Pixel 2 XL running Android 12 PE beta build what about the last security patch? Thx.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kex604:
Hello all,

I'm new to using Pixel Experience on my Pixel 2 XL and am running into an issue with one banking app. I installed version 12 of Pixel Experience and the TD Bank app won't even show up in the Play Store. If I try and download it from the web, I get "Your device isn't compatible with this version". I went ahead and installed Magisk and enabled MagiskHide but that didn't seem to help much. Since I can't even get it installed, I can't specifically hide root for that app.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred

Use the APK extractor app to get the APK from another device then email or move that APK to your phone and install.

Thank you that worked!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Installed this last night, coming from stock Android 11, and had not done a thing to the phone prior. Unlocked bootloader (critical) took a while as updating SDK tools did not load Google driver correctly. (If you cant see data using fastboot devices command, check that!) After was resolved, moved onto loading PE Recovery, and then hit the user data wipe issue spoke about in first few posts. Booted back to recovery, then ran fastboot -w, then adb sideload zip, and were in business! Thank you devs!

Do you all still have the new Assistant voice typing activated?

I was able to get it to work from MridulDR instructions, but I recently noticed that the option is greyed out again in Gboard settings.

My Google app is beta version 13.4.16.23.arm64 from the app store,

My Gboard is beta version 11.4.08.422524001-beta-arm64-v8a from the app store

And my Android System Intelligence app is version S.10.playstore.oem.424079685 from apkmirror - does anyone have a currently working setup?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xflbret:
Is this rom still being worked on? Can I flash over Pixel Experience 11? One other person asked but he never got an answer...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MridulDR:
Well it's because your play store updated the Google app, the ".23" at the end of the version depicts that it's targeted for Android 6 and above, for assistive voice typing you need ".29" which means it's targeted for Android 10 and above.

To get the voice typing again, do the steps i mentioned earlier and this time go to apk mirror and search for Google app there, and then select the latest version and check whether it's has ".29" at the end or not, if not, look for a different version.

And remember to uncheck Auto Updates for Google app in the playstore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dynamo147:

any update on the update message issue ? @PixelBoot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
From the developer's github site, 22 Jan: Google Pixel 2/2XL Due to the limitations of the Google Pixel’s 2 system partition, I am currently in search for alternative methods to satisfy the preloaded Google apps shipped with PixelExperience. The new rules for official PixelExperience forbid the use of excessive use of remove_packages to remove preloaded packages to satisfy the ROM’s system partitions. I have been playing around recently with repartitioning, but this process will take long as I have already lost my original Pixel 2 due to too much tampering with repartitioning. Luckily enoguh thanks to a fellow supporter and friend, DarkPlayer, I am able to proceed carefully thanks to his kind donation of his own personal Pixel 2 XL. These slow measures will take place purely for safety of my and your devices, so your patience is highly appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dynamo147:
Have you guys found a way to stop the Google app from auto updating?

I've noticed that the playstore keeps updating my apk mirror version despite me unchecking the auto update option.

The version that I want to keep installed is the only one that I've noticed that allows me to use the new assistant voice typing and a properly functioning Hey Google hotword on my phone - version 13.4.16.29.arm64
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] areebiqbal:
The ROM is pretty stable. The one major issue is that unlimited Google photos backup is broken. Please find a way to fix it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] areebiqbal:
Also.... Has anyone noticed that the charging speed is a little bit slower as compared to Android 10 and Android 11. I use the original charger and it says rapid charging when I plug it in. But still it is slower
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kastik4:
I haven't noticed any diffrence in charging speed works fine on me

Yeah this needs to be fixed ASAP
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] areebiqbal:
Yes it shows that I'm on pixel 6 for some reason.

The ROM is pretty good in every way... It's just the lack of unlimited Google photos backup which is compelling me to go back.

Please fix this!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xflbret:

Follow the instructions on the PixelExperience Wiki to repartition your device with the new product partition table, following the ROM installation.

If your Google Pixel 2 XL is on the stock repartition table

:

Follow the instructions on the PixelExperience Wiki to repartition your device with the new product partition table, following the ROM installation.

Kindly keep an eye out for logs in the recovery during Format data / factory reset.

If you encounter an error during that process, kindly:

Reboot back to the bootloader.

Using platform-tools, execute the following fastboot -w.

Reboot back to recovery and proceed with the installation to flash PixelExperience 12 ROM.

For confirmation with this post here if I've never partitioned my device or repartitioned my device and all I've done has been just flash the pixel boot and side load the pixel ROM. The option that I should follow based on this post should be the second option starting with "

If your Googleon the stock repartition table"
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PixelBoot:
Yes, that is correct.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Perfect 👍🏼
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Im in the same mode as miggsr. Sorry for the ignorance, but can you help me learn here. For this build we need to repartition, I get that. Question is, if we ever needed to go back to a true stock build IE Android 11, would just a full wipe -w and adb loading a stock 11 file from google work and or be all that is needed? Just looking ahead in case I ever screw something up terribly. First time repartition for me. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlykwon8633:
Hi I am sorry to asking same matter!! I never repartition since I use pixel experience android 12beta from stock rom. Should be repartition even came from stock repartition?????
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PixelBoot:
Just follow the instructions in the post under

If your Google Pixel 2 XL is on the stock repartition table

:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PixelBoot:
To revert back to stock, the new repartitioned table should work just fine, however if you want to take full advantage of your space, you can revert to the stock table as at the top of the Pre-install guide on the wiki. Just flash that and wipe directly afterwards.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlykwon8633:
So no need repartition from stock partitions right? Thanks for reply and good work!!!! Thanks again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PixelBoot:
You still have to repartition using the guide above. Follow the wiki instructions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Ok great than you for that info. I just attempted to load Feb 22 in this manner - but it didnt work Im still on 11/24.

Steps:

1. Did not install 40mb recovery file listed in Feb 22 area on site (as I assumed it was the same Pixel recovery and I already had it installed.)

2. Followed steps from Android 12 area in instructions - side-loaded the partition 128gb file instructions.

3. Factory reset, got a wipe error, (like I did when I 1st installed 11/24)

4. Used fastboot -w

5. Back to recovery for adb sideload of Feb 22 installation package but also got an error.

6. Rebooted phone and went through setup process and Im still on 11/24.

I am going to re-try later, but Im either thinking I need to use the recovery file listed with the Feb 22 package, or when when I did the fastboot -w I needed to reload the partition zip?

Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlykwon8633:
Ok. I will follow instructions. I really appreciate your answer!!! Thanks a again!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Ok tried again a few times, loading the 1.4gb official.zip

After doing partition zip fine, factory wipe fails, so i use fastboot -w, redo partition and then try to side load the 1.4gb package and get this message:

Finding update package

Installing update...

Step1/2

Error applying update : 7(ErrorCode: : KInstallDeviceOpenError)

E: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Unsure what Im doing wrong? Usually I can get this in a few tries -

UPDATE:

When I do the 11/24 beta sideload works and % numbers start running and were back up and running 11/24 BETA -

Bad package download from the site?

Also, I re-downloaded 2 times, same error - anyone else get it going?

First of all, thanks to the developer team.

I faced a couple of issues. The indicated recovery fails when wiping data. I had to use the A11 build recovery to wipe data. Then flashed the A12 recovery and sideloaded the ROM. Booted fine but it now fails when wiping data after configuration.

4: every single time i can see GPS small icons over status bar ( i don't know is normal or not, on my pixel 5 i don't have it)

5 : wife calling and volte ( we didn't have it on A11 maybe we didn't get to on A12)

I had same g logo booting and not doing anything from, install stock rom then pixel recovery and trying to boot a12, got same error that cant format data.

So what i did was

Flash back to stock (maybe not needed)

Install PE11 and let it boot (i used recovery from a12 so it should work)

Boot back to recovery and install PE A12 and format data

Now it should boot.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sir Killalot:
Does this ROM identity the device as a Pixel 6 (Pro)? Then that the reason. A11 ROM has the Pixel 5 fingerprint, and that device was the last with unlimited (storage saver) upload.
