Installed yesterday. The only thing was bad for me - device won't boot until I format data again right after the install of .zip archive in TWRP. Otherwise - very stable and good build as for me. I am really happy to see A12 on my old Pixel device. Awesome!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] freddienuxx:
is there a build for pixel 6 pro? im gonna flash on taimen now. thx for keeping our phones up to date
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
I think there are some initial builds for P6Pro, Please check the respective forum to find more details.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
And we are official now!!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] debsuvra:
Great work. Sorry if I missed it but does it pass safetynet? I am not going to root or use Magisk. And if it does, do the UPI apps work?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
Yes, safety net passes out of the box. I am not sure about UPI (as i don't use it), but can confirm Google pay works. Hopefully UPI will work too.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] debsuvra:
Thanks. I installed the ROM and can confirm that UPI apps work out of the box. Indian carrier Jio is also working without a hitch, including VoLTE. The only issues I have faced are lack of notification LED access and the quality of the haptics. I couldn't find a way to make the notification LED work, there doesn't seem to be any option related to it in the settings. Also the tighter vibrations that I liked on stock are missing, replaced by longer and flatter ones.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobcote:
Hi,

First thanks for this rom that makes our not-that-old device still on top.

I installed minutes ago and for what I saw it seems to work fine.

1. Rooting

Now, I'm trying to install Magisk v24.1.

Magisk talks about vbmeta.img and says that the ROM may or may not have it.

Does crDroid have a vbmeta.img and if yes where can I find it?

2. Device name

The only weird thing I see with this Rom is that some Google apps see my phone as à Pixel 6 Pro.

Is there something I can do about that?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
How does this affect

How does this affect your data limit using unlimited (storage saver) backup of images on Google Photos?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
Thank you for the feedback. Will see what I can do for haptics
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobcote:
Hi again,

I first manually flashed February 11 build through TWRP and today I got a notification that a new build was available in system settings.

Do I clicked to update but now installation is stick si ce an hour at "Finalize pacage installation" (it's my translation). See screenshot.

--EDIT-- Well, it seems that in the end it is indeed progressing but extremely slowly. I'm now at 47% and it has been running for 3 hours.

Is it normal ?

(P.S. It is the first time I actually use a ROM that has OTA enabled, so maybe it's just normal behavior for OTA updates)
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Grumbar_9:
Hi

Also have an issue with OTA: downloaded normally, no weird behaviors. Takes near an hour or so. But, phone stucks on boot after install attempt. Just gets too hot and never loads to system (i have 1 hour or so in this state before reboot). Rebooted by long pressing power button - system still on the previous version. I will try once again. But, possibly, it would be just better to use TWRP install

NOTE: TWRP install also leads to endless loading animation. Just cant pass through it. May be a fresh install required this time...
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
A few quick thoughts on this ROM:

So I've had this running this on my P2 for the past 24 hours. In a word, Excellent. The visuals, integrity of this version of the A12 and the usability are all really good and I haven't found any major faults with it. Battery life seems as good if not better than stock A11 and Google Pay NFC payments work without any issue. Great job, HtcDesire2! That being said I have two things that may be minor for the majority of the users, but are rather important for myself in deciding what device I use.

1. Google Photos - I need take a lot of photos with my phone for work and have to be able to access them quickly on other devices such as my laptop or other phones. For this reason, Google photos works perfectly and is the main reason for my sticking to older Pixels. Newer Pixels like the 5A, unfortunately, will have me eating up my storage very quickly. Currently, this ROM doesn't allow me to make use of the unlimited backup. HtcDesire2, I don't know if there is a way for me to configure the device fingerprint back to an earlier version of the Pixel (ie., P5 or before) without breaking the ROM or having to root it. I could try messing with the props, but my preference is not to root my device.

2. Transcription is a little slow and janky. I dictate a lot (rather than type) and the speed is a little slow and often inaccurate.

All in all, a great ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
Thank you for the feedback.

1. Unlimited photo toggle was added with build on 14-02-2022 (You may need to uninstall and install photos if not working)

2. will see what I can do.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
That's not a correct behavior. I test multiple time before releasing and I tested the latest build as OTA as well as clean install and haven't faced this issue.

I would suggest a clean install.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
It takes somewhere from 30-45 mins to install the OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobcote:
It took 4 hours for me.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
That's not normal. I will monitor next ota test.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
Appreciate your help. TWRP clean install of the 20220214 version after a full wipe. Booted up fine, but not given the option to add account to set up.

Edited to say that I retried once more after first flashing the factory image. Same result (as above).
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobcote:
I don't use Google Photos online storage.

For me the problem of my phone being recognized as Pixel 6 Pro is that it's messing up with my Google One backups (phone/app configurations backups).
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
Which GAPPS are you using?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
Open Nano. I recognize it might have been my fault later as it was an A11 version that I had.

I re-flashed the factory img and did a clean install with FlameGaaps Full 12.0. Started system once and then sideloaded the Gaaps and left it to reboot. Checked on it over two hours later only to find it still on the loading animation.

Finally another clean install again with NikGapps-stock-arm64-12-20220127-signed.zip and it ended up in crDroid recovery after a reboot with a message that the system could not load.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] HtcDesire2:
Ok, I will list what I do for a clean flash and it works all the time (Hopefully will work for you too):

in TWRP:

Wipe -> Format Data (Type yes)

Wipe Cache/System/Data

Got to Reboot Menu (Check which slot you are on A/B) and click on reboot to inactive slot.

Repeat Format Data and Wipe.

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot boot to twrp again.

push the crdroid file with "adb push <crdoid file name> /sdcard

Install, after push is completed.

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot boot to twrp again.

adb push gapps to /sdcard

Install gapps

reboot system
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
Really appreciate your trying to help. I followed your method to the letter with the same result. Your procedure is actually the same as mine, except where you push to install, I tend to sideload files after electing from the Advanced tab within TWRP. Both methods ended with the same message in the recovery. I'm usually pretty adept at flashing / rooting and I know there's just something small that I'm missing, but that's ok. I'll continue the experiment another time.

NB: Just thinking about this, I'm pretty sure I have an error related to the system partition size not being big enough to flash both ROM and the GAaps packages that I had chosen. (I didn't look closely to the error msgs when flashing.) In the past I had tried to repartion a 2XL but I didn't really see much benefit. When I get some time next week, I will reflash with a smaller package of gaaps or spend a little time to customize the config file for either bitgaaps or nikgaaps.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] itsmerkc:
Did you install the Gapps?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DaveinAsia:
Of course ;)

So I fixed the mount / system error I found in both partitions in TWRP, reinstalled the previous version of the ROM, removed some of the AOSP apps and replaced them with selected apps from the Nik package. All good and will live with not uploading the photos directly to GPhotos and instead, will transfer and upload them from a P1 XL. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rohitpotter:
Followed your process step by step but it goes into recovery mode for the new rom and says can't load android system. There are two options:

Try again and Factory reset. Factory reset fails and trying again brings me back to the same recovery mode for the new rom.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bobcote:
@HtcDesire2, would there be a way that OTA updates could keep root?

I just noticed that following this week OTA update I lost root.

I added it back but now my banking app refuse to work.

I was so glad that it was working with rooted phone on my first install.

I tried many things to make the app work but with no success.

I think I will have to swipe everything and restart all over again from scratch.

P.S. I sent little donation the other day to thank you ;-)
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rebelpixel:
I installed this and encountered the Play Store not installing/restoring any apps. I redid everything but repaired the /data partition in TWRP before proceeding with initial boot. It seems that it's working now.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MarshallMcLuhan:
EDIT: after flashing stock rom twice and reinstalling the release with gapps my cellular is working.

Thank you HtcDesire2

I have installed this; both the one with preinstalled gapps (https://mega.nz/file/Hg5yiCCR#pkLF_WFd-J350O0xx-6XN5aC3Zfav8YYli9H8UDwUxs) and the one in the original post. It won't recognize my SIM card/slot. It just keeps saying insert sim. Everything else seems to run OK
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Robin94:

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MarshallMcLuhan:

Hello! Thanks for this great ROM.

I'm experiencing issues with audio. Everything that's turn-by-turn directions and some other alert is missing on v8.4.

I re-flashed from scratch to test. The issue occurs with Google Maps, Komoot, EUC World.

Also I noticed the same as @SD_007, which makes listening to YouTube in the background impractical.

I'm trying to create a working vendor.img, however so far unsuccessful.

It does create a flashable ROM just fine, however I'm stuck at the Samsung (init) bootscreen/logo (last_kmesg).

Is it possible? How do I need which files to extract? I'm now searching for reference from other sources.

Thanks!

I'm working with pixel 4a. I had made changes to device.mk to remove some files from being copied to vendor under

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES but vendor.img provided by google gets copied as a whole ignoring these changes. Do you have any idea on how to edit/override or build vendor.img?

I also tried to use proprietary files provided here in vendor folder and included the mk file in aosp-sunfish.mk but every other images get built except vendor.img.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] francoism90:
You need to set the following:

BOARD_VENDORIMAGE_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE := ext4
TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR := vendor
BOARD_VENDORIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 679...

Otherwise, it will copy the files to /system/vendor (if I'm not mistaken).
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] poppopret_:
I was able to generate vendor.img successfully, but after I flashed the images, phone gets stuck in google logo. How can this be debugged? Is there a way to retrieve logs?

I tried accessing it through adb but the device is not recognised by adb at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] francoism90:
@poppopret_ Are you using TWRP or LineageOS recovery? When booting back to your recovery, they can be used to get the last_kmesg log, which should hopefully provide you with debugging.

Android smartphones automatically reset after unlocking the bootloader. If you don't mind losing data, however, you can enable OEM unlock in the settings, assuming your phone does NOT have a carrier lock. After that, you just need to reboot it into fastboot mode. (you can do this using ADB or by pressing the correct button combination.) Finally, just run
