Same happened with my pixel 2 (walleye) error applying update :7 (error code :kInstallDeviceOpenError)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdkjnsd:
hi there, i'm currently using PE 12, it was smooth. i have 2 minor thing to ask for help :

1. is there any tips to increase battery life, after using PE my battery life seems slightly drain

2. after using the camera app below, the camera app crash oftenly. is there any workaround to update the app? thanks before
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] imkentoy:
Hi. Glad to share my experience.

1. Our device is quite old and battery life may not be that great anymore. Well depending on how it was used. The following might help you increase your battery life.

- Enable battery saver

- Enable adaptive battery

2. It is a known bug for now. What I did is I disabled the camera app. How? Simply press and hold the icon then press the i to open the app info then tap disable. This should help you get rid of the 'camera keeps closing error'. Next is you can either google the latest GCam or download it from here.

I hope this helps.

Hello, I'll be in touch again. Have now uploaded a video as I mean it with my audio problems. I don't have this problem with other custom roms. Sorry the video upload didn't work. I created a link for this.

Pixel 2XL ///

Hi, I followed every single step from this guide https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/taimen/install/ but when I tried to sideload ROM .zip I got the famous error 7 on my device. I tried to flash it from pendrive via OTG but the same thing happened.

I checked FAQ but none of the tips apply to me since I was using the latest possible for P2XL Android 11, I downloaded the newest PE recovery and ROM from their website (3 times, all 3 times 100% good MD5)... :/ Unlocking the bootloader, recovery install, and repartition went without any problems... I tried all steps again 3 times already, same Error 7.

Any idea of what can I try?

I also tried the PE12 Plus Edition, same error.

///edit

I read on Reddit that for some people the repartition script didn't work with PE Recovery, so I did repartition with TWRP and the rest with PE Recovery, installed successfully.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdkjnsd:
here's my review for the current build so far, my device detected as Pixel 5, so far A12 running good, some of the downside is a few app that i use before is not running due to the android version compatibility, no big deal. i stay using the default camera app that come with the PE12, update to the recent update on the google play ended ep crashing, again, no big deal. SOT around 5 hours with light usage and default setting (considering this is 5 years old device), fine with me. currently testing usage with some setting optimization, should be better with the SOT.

Some hickup i found so far, the Autolock function is sometime not working, so my device stay unlock until i lock it manually, other than smooth af. thanks pixelbots

Read my comment above.

My overall opinion about the ROM - everything is cool, but I'm going back to stock A11 anyway. I thought I try some of A12 features - I tried, but overall it wasn't enough to pay me for clicking twice to get WiFi/LTE ON/OFF. :D Other than that some minor A12 caviats like vibrations after unlock/doing something in apps, unlock animation (although I speeded them up, still...), etc. But ROM was working smooth. :))
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdkjnsd:
do you have any tutorial on how to do it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] szlaga:
Do what? Do a repartition like in this video -

- but with current repartition file, then follow the official ROM install guide but don't do repartition again.

Hey @PixelBoot !

Are you planning to release PixelOS ROMs for Google Pixel 2 XL (Taimen)?

Thank you @PixelBoot , new ROM OTA update has fixed the camera crash issue. I have the camera v8.5 running well.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DaSpottishKing:
My Pixel 2XL has the PixelExperience taimen 12Plus edition downloaded from the latest update.

About 2 months ago my phone stopped calling using the phone call app. It still calls on other apps that use Wifi/Data calling like WhatsApp.

Does anyone else have this problem or know what to do about it? My phone will not even attempt to call when I dial. The phone just bugs out and closes the Phone call app. I thought it had to do with my carrier switching to 4G LTE only. I am not very knowledgeable on that stuff but as far as I can tell Google Pixel 2XL should be compatible with VoLTE so it should work on my network unless there is something wrong on my provider's end.

anybody have issues getting sideload to properly start in twrp? It fails to map and I cant push the .zip file to install.

I'm currently using the PE recovery to install but I've had this issue before with TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] amandeepparmar:
Whats the error message? Screenshot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stslimited84:
I already installed the ROM using the PE recovery and didn't take a screenshot but thanks for your reply.

Everything seems to be running smoothly. The only issue I have is getting the phone to only vibrate when vibrate mode is on. Unless I'm missing something, the settings want to have vibrate and ring on at the same time but I only want vibrate if vibrate only mode is on.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DaSpottishKing:
I see in my options that it wants to ask if it has vibrate on when ringing for when it is on ring-mode. I don't see anything about keeping ringing on while in vibrate mode. Which version did you download?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] debashismallick75:
Automatic reboot and disconnect during calls. Please help me with this. I am on the latest build 12.1 July 5 update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stslimited84:
I'm on the latest version.

To be clear. I dont want vibrate to happen when it rings. I only want vibrate when its on vibrate. If i dont enable vibration w/ringing, vibrate doesnt work on vibrate only mode.

Before flashing this rom, What's the best way to root in 2022? Is it still using the twrp method as with previous pixels????

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xda-dan:
I used the system updater for the August update, but now the Wi-Fi and SIM aren't working anymore – Internet shade tile says "Networks unavailable". When I try to turn Wi-Fi on, Settings crashes. Settings also says "No SIM".

Update: I was able to fix this by booting into recovery and reinstalling the update via ADB.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jdmst77:
I'm on taimen 0712 plus and went to use the system updater to get the August update but it failed hinting that I need to repartition my device to install update. I can swear that I did this before going from 11 to 12.1 before I could flash the ROM

I'm trying to avoid wiping everything and starting over... Maybe I messed something up??? Is a repartition required to go from 0712 to 0813?

EDIT: Third time is a charm... I didn't change anything but it worked when trying again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sekiryuutei_1924:
I need help installing the ROM

I followed the instructions as per on the blog post.

booting to recovery and re-partition goes fine but as I want to sideload the rom. it fails

I tried 4 times with no luck even going to stock before try 3 and 4 but to no avail.

I am trying to flash the august update.

is anyone else experiencing similar behavior?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] malongi:
Have you restarted to recovery after re-partition before sideload the rom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xstarbuck1982x:
Sorry if this has been answered but I cant find an answer reading through the thread.

Since installing the rom I can't unlock my phone with fingerprint. It works within apps just not lock screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mrtoddles11:
Found this on a reddit thread and it worked for me (hotbooting TWRP instead of flashing). Basically it seems like the partition script doesn't work properly in PE's recovery, only in TWRP. Once I ran the partition script in TWRP, PE recovery was able to flash the PE ROM without throwing the error 7.

Spotify background playing while phone is locked not working sometimes.

One good thing

I don't know but its feels like my phone sound is increased.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
This is an astonishing piece of work, one that I frankly did not expect to be possible. I am curious, what are the developer's plans for updates - will there be any 'automatic' capability, or will ROM updates be kept manual?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stslimited84:
how did you correct this issue? I'm trying to restore my files from migrate but I'm having this same issue. I have magisk installed as per Lif3mau5 's post
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
This is a TWRP issue in that TWRP needs to be updated to understand the Android 12 encryption algorithm. EDIT: version 3.6.0 was released today. To work around the issue, remove your pin or password before accessing TWRP, or else format your internal storage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stslimited84:
Thanks for the reply. Oddly enough, I was using the TWRP img released today and am having that issue. There is no pin or passcode enabled as I had just clean installed this PE 12.0 build and magisk.

Ideas on what to do next?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
So I'm trying to flash this ROM, but when I try to do a factory reset in the Pixel Experience Recovery I get a "data wipe failed"

can anyone help me?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] imrock0:
Had a similar problem. Just erased using the below command in bootloader:

fastboot format userdata

Also, there was no progress bar displayed when I started the sideload and it got stuck on sideloading and wouldn't finish. Finally just copied the zip file manually and installed using TWRP. Seems to be working fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Format your internal storage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
Can you elaborate on the Spotify issue? It seems to be working fine for me. Do you have Now Playing enabled?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
Thanks! "fastboot format userdata" didn't work but while searching for something like that I found the "fastboot -w" command and that one did the trick, after that, I went back to PE Recovery and sideloaded the ROM, I did get a progress percentage in the command prompt.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mominraza:
No idea, I didn't have magisk installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mominraza:
When I lock the phone the song plays for 4-5 seconds and starts lagging and finally after about 10 seconds it stops playing. And when I unlock the phone it starts ringing again.

Yes I have Now Playing enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
I know it's a rather old version, but try Spotify version 8.4.96.953 (or around this version number). That's the one I'm using and it seems to be working just fine for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stslimited84:
any way to put the old short cuts for showing all open apps at the bottom? is facial recognition in this like it was in the 11 plus build?

Hats off to the developer for this. its outstanding so far!

Since there is no official Android 12 firmware, can I update to this ROM directly from Android 10?

I am still running the last Android 10 PixelDust ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
So I have been using this ROM for a couple of days and I have to say is amazing to be able to use A12 on a pixel 2xl, so far the only problems I have are:

1- When playing any music or video if you go from the always-on display to the locked screen sound cuts off for a second or two (weirdly enough if you just unlock the phone right away sound keeps playing normally)

2 - The pill showing that Location is been used shows up randomly

3 - Twitter sometimes crashes, but thas probably Twitter's fault

4 - Android Auto doesn't work, that is the most annoying thing of all since I used it every day, it shows Error 22 and something about how Android auto wasn't pre-loaded on my phone.

Even with all that, this is a beta, and calls, wifi, and data work normally and the battery is about the same used to have on A11. I can daily drive this happily

Try flashing the standalone Android Auto zip from 'NikGApps'

After the flash the white theme does not apply to the notification curtain
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
How do I flash it?, I can boot into TWRP but is encrypted, can I flash it using the PE Recovery?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
Yes, you can download the zip to your PC and then send it over adb. I'm pretty sure this works if you didn't decrypt
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lysaer:
Thank you for all the hard work on this ROM

The only issue I seem to be having is I cannot get Magisk to stay after a reboot.

I patched the latest pixelexperience recovery with magisk canary build, then used fastboot to flash, the phone reboots and magisk is installed and working fine.

But then if I reboot my phone or it runs out of batteries, the next time I start it up Magisk and root is uninstalled, I have to fastboot flash the boot image again and it comes back.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance

Please add Google Photos app in future update and set as the system gallery app.

Becouse I'm unable to set Photos as system gallery app with adb.

Android 11 makes Google Photos annoying to use for some, but there may be a fix

Thanks to Scoped Storage, Android 11 on certain devices makes it a bit inconvenient to delete images in Google Photos, but there may be a fix.

This is the best my pixel 2 xl has ever ran and its super smooth. Battery life is amazing. Big thanks to the developer!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
I couldn't sideload it, I got a "space storage full", oh well perhaps an future update can fix it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
For starters, before you blame the ROM, have you looked to see how much free space you have on your phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xstarbuck1982x:
Just wanted to say thanks.

Been running this as my daily driver and had no problems.

Running nice and smooth. All the apps I use run with no crashing. The hack to enable separate WiFi and data toggles works (thank god) making this a perfect rim for my everyday usage

I think he's referring to sideloading the Android Auto zip from NikGApps. I had the same message pop up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
Thanks, maybe if you fasrbooted, ran TWRP from your PC, then installed that from your PC?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
I have 107 gb of free storage
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
That is the first thing I tried but TWRP is encrypted (is not asking for the pin either), so I tried to sideload the NikGApps zip for Android Auto using the Pixel Experience Recovery but no luck, got the "space storage is full" error.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
What version of TWRP are you using? When booted in TWRP, can you see your files or just strange 'file names' ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] friedsonjm:
I don't use Android Auto myself, but perhaps someone who does, and has successfully loaded NikGApps, could export the apk and make it available to this group?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Diamod:
I'm using twrp-3.6.0_9-0-taimen.img and yes the files are encrypted, usually, TWRP asks for a password or something and decrypts the files but I can't get it to do that, is so weird, everything on the ROM works except for android auto.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145725184 flash this to decrypt via ADB Pixel Experience Recovery . Let me know if that lets you see your files when you boot from TWRP
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mhaqs:
Just tried, it did not remove the decryption.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
Try formatting data after flashing, I guess it depends on order of operations. If the ROM is installed already, try flashing that zip then formatting. It's going to work one way or another lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mhaqs:
I think you're right, it should remove the decryption if I format user data. Bricked the phone without that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
You're booting from a twrp.img on your PC, right? So reboot to pixel recovery, sideload, format, boot from twrp.img then install the goods
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mhaqs:
Yeah, did exactly that. Pixcel recovery -> flash decryption zip, format -> boot to TWRP -> refuses to boot to system.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SSVanderbilt:
Can you get to recovery? Did you have a passcode for your lock screen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mhaqs:
I had removed the fingerprint and pin. Just Swipe. I'll try and go through this again tomorrow. Need the phone running for tonight. Thanks for the quick responses.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Hart79:
Hi,

I tried to flash on my Pixel 2 XL with PE recovery.

Starting from stock rom, I couldn't format data via recovery, so I did it with fastboot -w.

But when I go to flash the rom, it keeps stuck in "installing update..."

Also I got the following errors:

failed to mount '/system_root' (invalid argument)

failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument)

I reflashed again stock android 11 (public), I tried again but same story, I googled for an answer, but I can't find a solution.

I'm using latest adb fastboot tools (19/7/21).

I've been years flashing custom roms since gingerbread in many devices, but I never did it anymore once I got Pixel 2 XL.I'd like so much to have this rom, but I can't sort it out.

Thank you.
