I've been out of the loop for a bit since I last tried getting This running on my 2xl. I see on the wiki page the zip to return to stock and the one to partition do not mention anything about 64gb models or 128gb. I'm on 128gb does the script check the storage capacity? Also second question if I'm stock partition but don't know for sure is it fine to run that stock partition again so I can start from scratch?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Yes the zips have now been merged into 1, and the formats after is checks your GB size. As for reverting to stock, I'm not fully clear on this, at one point I was thinking you could just run the zip to go back to stock, but others have suggested reverting to factory images of AN 11 and starting fresh. I can ask the Telegram channel and report back about reverting to stock tables.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
If you can check with telegram channel that'd be great thanks. I plan on trying during my lunch break. So I'm reading and gathering info atm
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
The website has 2 zips, to revert to stock use the reproduction zip, to move to the table needed to run to PE 12 use the product partition zip. I am confirming it now, posted question awaiting response.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
So this is confirmed, but when I asked if you can take a table that may be messed up and revert back using the reproduction and then go to the PE 12 required table using the productpartition zip - no answer yet
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Strangely enough I literally just finished flashing. I gotta boot up and Skip through setup check the storage
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Ok cool - if you bootloop, think it just needs a format data, not a wipe
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
No bootloop so that is good. Now under storage it's showing 15gb used out of 128gb. But from settings menu when scrolling to storage says 12% used - 113gb free. Not sure what is the actual number that should show on fresh install with nothing but os
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Awesome - That sounds right, mine was about 15gb used on a fresh install - nothing reloaded.

12+ right now. I had the 12 from November originally
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Nice - people talking about battery drain and or slow charging, but I didnt see it on my March build of 12, so just keep and eye out as an FYI
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Any part apps that have been noted to be the cause of the battery drain would be screen time or the phone app or or system?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:

Sir. Can be over dirty flash last 3-5 bliud????
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
To be honest I would not be able to say Yes or no. Because as part of doing the repartitioning it is a required step to wipe the device. From my knowledge so far and from my experience if you have already completed the repartitioning step and used 3-5 update then yes you can dirty flash this.

With that said I am not responsible for any issues that may occur.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlykwon8633:
Thanks for your advise!!!

How much time it takes to do partitions.

I have entered command" adb sideload productpartitions-pixel2xl.zip"

and output is stuck at "loading: 'productpartitions-pixel2xl.zip'"
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Powereh:
I also have this when playing music through my bluetooth headphones.

Not sure what is causing it.

can someone help here?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Joseph1995:
Hi, I have been using the rom for a few weeks now and have updated to the plus version yesterday. I have noticed a few bugs and I would love to know if they could be fixed.

In the most recent update, the quick settings menu has lost its colour. Here is a screenshot from Google that shows how it's supposed to look. And here is a picture of the current quick settings colour. Fixed in build PixelExperience_Plus_taimen-12.1-20220516-1928.

There are two weird white lines at the top of the lock screen. And when you take a screenshot, you can see that the lines belong to the quick settings menu and that the lines are actually rounded corners that do not match the Pixel 2 XL's display corner radius. Fixed in build PixelExperience_Plus_taimen-12.1-20220516-1928

Music cuts out when unlocking the phone. It's only for a second, but it's long enough for wavelet to stop working, so every time my phone turns on even if I don't unlock or look at it, I will have to stop the music, open wavelet, start wavelet and restart the music. This is a recording of some white noise where you can hear the issue. This does not occur when the phone is in power saving mode and it still happens when face unlock is turned off.

The Vibration motor seems to be a bit off. I'm not really sure if it's the fault of the rom or that my phone is just weird, but it definitely has sounded better in the past. Small vibrations are working fine, but when I get a call or a notification the vibrations really sound weird. Fixed in build PixelExperience_Plus_taimen-12.1-20220516-1928

LiveDisplay is a new feature, but as far as I know it doesn't fully work. The settings menu for it only features a reading mode toggle and colour calibration options. I'm not sure because I have never seen this feature before, but I think it is supposed to show color profile and display mode options as well. Also the setting description says "Optimize your screen based on time of day and ambient conditions to improve readability and reduce eyestrain", but it does not provide a toggle to turn that on.

I'd also like to thank you for keeping my phone up to date when Google doesn't!

Not long - watch the video on my signature
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonpjingleheimler:
Honestly in the OP I didn't find a whole lot of direction for folks that had followed a separate tutorial out some time ago that had one load parted from twrp. To date I've had to monkey around every time so much that I actually don't even know what I've done to get PE 12 to boot, but after spitting twice to the south and stomping my left foot once it boots. go figure. just saying there should be an acknowledgement for the folks coming over with a re-partitioned device. The download page should not say you will need to re-partition your device period. it should say if you haven't done so yet, you will need to repartition your device. I bet you will get less partition questions once that minor disclaimer is made. Otherwise this is my favorite ROM out there and I would spend as long as it takes to get it on my device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Have you read the wiki page?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] irshadkhaskheli1:
Thank you. After repartition, I was successful to install pixel experience 12 plus.

But one thing now I am unable to install magisk after repartition. Please guide on this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
Excellent! I am not a magisk expert or root - but - there is much information online available, also the rooting process and or use of magisk with PE 12 I do not think is different, the same rules on doing it apply. You may want to try the telegram channel as more users are using Magisk in that space.

Telegram group: https://t.me/pixelexperiencechat
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
You can side load magisk. Download the apk from GitHub but change the .apk to .zip and sideload just the same way you did when flashing the rom
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jonpjingleheimler:
Hi. I did read the wiki numerous times. At the top it says starting with Android 12 you must repartition the device. I was uncertain if that meant the repartition I already did from a different tutorial was fine or if I needed to follow the repartition guide listed with this specific Rom. I guess I could have just asked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Charlykwon8633:
Hi sir! I tried dirty flash 12+ over 12(3/5 update) by sideload... Can't flash and even twrp can't install too!!! Do you have any advise for dirty flash???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
I had responded when you asked earlier this week, you can't flash dirty over 3/5 to the April builds are a different format. You need to do a clean install. Once you are April builds, then you can dirty flash from there until something large changes.

How to Install Magisk on your Android Phone

Magisk is a powerful tool that can help you customize some aspects of your phone or even grant you root access. Here's how you can install it!

www.xda-developers.com

scroll down and follow the instructions for A/B devices. Once you have the proper requirements extracting payload.bin is a lot easier. so grind through the set up and profit?

After re-partitioning and installing Android 12, how much free space is there approximately in the 64GB model?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridenickel9:
I want to say 48-50?

Hi. I have a problem running a certain game called Cytus II from Google Playstore. This app runs fine on stock Android 10 and 11 ROM, but only shows black screen in PE12 (and PE11 when I used to run that ROM as well). I love using this rom because of its features and stability, but my only problem is that certain app. What can I do to fix this? Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Another thing to check...is it's the rom is if you run the game on an official Android 12 device. There is a game I have that currently does not run on any Android 12. I emailed the dev and they were aware of the issue. Just they haven't updated yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] _P__:
How do you re partition... Im not sure if Ive done this but just dont call it that.... Ive been flashing roms since forever im no noob. Are you guys referring to a format data or something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
To be able to flash PE Android 12 You will need to repartition the device. Partitioning will require you to completely wipe the device entirely of personal data and OS. Think of it as your windows drive and you are taking your 1 TB drive and partitioning it into five different sizes for this device. To be able to run Android 12 and to be able to have the ability of installing certain apps onto the device, they need to partition the device and remove a portion of the user data portion and provide that portion to the system. In the end, your user data section will be slightly less than what it is actually supposed to be. I mean this is just my understanding of how this whole process works to be able to run this ROM on this device
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] _P__:
Oh ok... So just wipe everything completely and then install the zip basically?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
You will need to follow this step by step. I'm sure it's been mentioned before here, but I'm posting it again. Follow it and you should be fine
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miggsr:
Also, if you're looking for a general idea of what you'll be doing, here's a video
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] _P__:
Of course. Ive read this several times but it talks about flash this zip... the only zip it refers to is the stock partition zip. So what zip is to be flashed for the android 12 repartition...

"Starting with Android 12, you must re-partition the device for PixelExperience to be installed.

WARNING: Your data will be lost, please do a backup.

If you want to revert to the stock partition table, kindly download and flash the following zip: Pixel 2 XL,

Download the following zip:

Pixel 2 XL

If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery:

With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power. Then use the menu to select Recovery Mode.

Sideload the .zip package:

On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.

On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload filename.zip.

Hello. Can you advise me please. Installed PE+ and found an issue with NFC not working. keeps saying "try again". someone faced this problem? I used to install standard PE, NFC worked fine there. the device is not rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] legend221:
I have yet to flash this 12.1 version of this Rom still on 11.0 and NFC is working perfectly. Since the security patch is only a few months older I feel good enough for now to stay on that one for now.

All banking apps are working as well. Will definitely recommend you that. Just use PE recovery if TWRP isn't working for you on 11.0.

Also no repartition required.

I flash any sort of Android 12 rom and my speakers eventually start to crackle and all audio is messed up, notifications, media etc.

Anyone else experience a similar issue? No problems on stock or Android 11 roms.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
I have been using the ROM more and with the newer version it seems the issue with background apps closing is not as bad but still shows up every now and then. There is a other issue where if I am on wifi for an extended time and leave wifi and go back to cellular I have to turn on airplane mode for a few seconds then turn it off for mobile data to work. That and esim seems to not work but other than that the ROM is great. Putting this out there more for bug report purposes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
Update after my last post and messing around, I suggest turning off Adaptive Connectivity, it seems to help with the network issues I was having. Also make sure Adaptive Audio is off too. It seems to slow down the device quite a bit. Lastly I turned off Hold For Me in the phone app. That and the assistant phone menu selection doesn't seem to really work with the Pixel 2 XL and can slow down the app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
I haven't had this issue, have you checked if Adaptive Audio is tuned on? If it is is try turning that off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] _P__:
Do I have to sideload or can I just flash repartition zip and flash rom all in a temporarily booted recovery like twrp etc
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
From my experience I was able to flash the repartition zip using TWRP. Just make sure you follow the instructions and after the partition is done, wipe and if you get any errors during the wipe reboot into bootloader and use the fastboot -w command to wipe using ADB. I haven't installed the actual ROM using TWRP but I don't think it would be an issue after the repartition.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] statikrage:
Sadly that option was turned off. Audio seemed normal for 10 minutes or so and then it just starts going bonkers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
Have you tried using googles factory flash tool to set all your system images back to default and starting over with unlocking and flashing? That's the only thing I can think might work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] statikrage:
Yes I have returned to Android 11 stock using online flash tool force flashing all partitions and then repartition for Android 12 and flash PE.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Renton577:
I'm kind of at a loss then, maybe it's something on the hardware side of things then with your hardware having issues with the way Android 12 handles audio. That's all I can think of it being especially if you've tried different Android 12 ROMs and they all exhibit the same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] statikrage:
Looking at some other info and a reddit post it seems some pixel 6 users are having a similar issue. A pixel 2xl user also posted in the same reddit so clearly it's not an isolated incident. May just be a bug that only presents itself under very certain circumstances? Thanks for the help I will stick with Android 11 for now I suppose.

RBC Mobile - Apps on Google Play

Better banking

play.google.com

is not compatible with the ROM PixelExperience_taimen-12.1-20220410-1712-OFFICIAL.zip

This is split config APK.

I copied split APK files via ADB from Pixel 6:

split_config.arm64_v8a.apk

split_config.xxhdpi.apk

Then successfully manually installed split APK files via ADB in Pixel 2XL.

But I can not update it using Google Play Store, it shows 'This app isn't compatible with your device anymore'

updated from Pixel Exp 11+ Plus version Dec 2021 build to PE 12+ Plus version April 2022 build.........no issues while doing the repartitioning & clean install. ROM is simply superb and our phone feels new again.

Though not battery friendly as of now. Maybe it'll improve in next few upcoming builds. Also, the automatic display brightness sensor behaves weird.

I am just curious if 'Dynamic Unlock' can be enabled in this ROM or not? I prefer using PIN as my unlock method and once I enter my PIN, I have to press okay and then only it unlocks. I was wondering if it could be enabled in future builds? Thanks again for such an awesome work on this beautiful ROM.
