Thank you, the newest build works! Every few minutes there are 2- to 3-second freezes (mostly in the launcher, rarely when opening/using apps) but everything else works decently.

(Apps still open quickly by default. Those freezes are nothing compared to the performance of an old smartphone such as my "undead" Nexus 5X with its high-performance cores disabled.)

EDIT:

@npjohnson I have a few more questions if you don't mind.

1. Would logs of the freezes help you diagnose them if I manage to record at least one? If so, in which logcat mode?

2. I can't get TWRP to work, whether booted or flashed. It shows Internal Storage/Storage as 0MB and can't mount the /data partition. How can I make a nandroid backup?

3. Is KeyStorage API "compatible and safe" in this LOS version? The KeePass app has notified me to check it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Hawkeye77:
Is that when upgrading from LOS19 to 20?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
Do you me

Do you mean when a dirty flash on top? I would say since we are discussing the person doing the compiling, my guess would be it's a clean build. But I certainly wouldn't want to speak on the behalf of someone else. I dropped this build down on a spare Pixel 2 and am not using a SIM, but only WiFi connectivity. Notice some of the delays others discuss here. I may drop a logcat and see what other information I can pull.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
Both upgrade and clean install.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
Official builds will roll within a week!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
Oooooo.... EXCITING!!!! Thank You!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Hawkeye77:
In the LOS instructions there is an instruction link for upgrade from LOS 19 to 20 - that was the premise of my question.

I would clean flash anyway!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
Gotcha! I've ran dirty flashes with LOS 17 to 18, and then again 19 to 20. Personally, I didn't suffer too may issues.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] paulholland:
Very nice work!

Could you explain the differences between the official and the unofficial release?

Is the Google camera included in the unofficial release as it was with LOS 19.1?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
It would have been included, but we are low on space.

It's really just a few pixel apps.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
Also, version 20 uses a different camera API. You can read more information below. Actually have used it on one of my other P2's and it's not too bad. I still prefer the ported Gcam though.

LineageOS 20 based on Android 13 is here, bringing new features and a new default camera app

LineageOS 20 is here, based on Android 13, and it has a lot of new features and, even better, a new default camera app!

www.xda-developers.com
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
You're confused - that's not how that works. CameraX is just the backend library used for Camera applications - Google Camera uses parts of CameraX. It also has software processing added by Google.

So, CameraX doesn't effect us at all except prettier camera app.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Hawkeye77:
@npjohnson Hi Mate,

Just installed your Unofficial 18/1 to my walleye for a look. I'm BACK!!! only went back to LOS 19.1 official.

All progressed great. After backup and installation of apps i always like to restart my phone.

After restart, i no longer have cell connection. A few more restarts and still no connection.

I've clicked on the network, sims button which just takes me back to the settings screen.

So, the phone believes i have no SIM.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] paulholland:
That´s a pity...

Do you have any recommendation where to get a google camera for LOS 20 or your LOS 20 unofficial?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
I dont. Sorry.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krzeszny:
@npjohnson I'm guessing you haven't seen my previous comment and I've made some logcats in the meanwhile. I have 4 issues:

For some reason, when I watch YouTube (to be more specific, in Free Adblock Browser in landscape mode), the smartphone will freeze indefinitely and never unfreeze until a hard reset.

What makes this peculiar is this: the screen stops refreshing, no buttons work, you can't even lock the device or do anything, but videos keeps playing normally behind the frozen image, videos buffer and switch to the next one, with sound. You can listen to videos like that, but... as mentioned, the screen never, ever updates until a hard reset.

In this folder you'll find 4 logcats of 2 occurences titled "hard freeze" (2 different logcat modes for each) which I took while the screen was frozen: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1-6g0OOtdpiABCMLeyKYx8QN1CXH0KPKW

Most of the time when the device has been locked for some period of time, the screen freezes for 2 to 3 seconds on unlocking. In the same folder as linked above there are 2 logcats of 1 occurence named "unlocking freeze" in which the screen was frozen for about 3 seconds, 1 second after unlocking. I took both logcats several seconds after the freeze.

The newest TWRP won't work with this ROM. It always shows 0 MB of storage space (I'm guessing it won't mount any partition) both in `fastboot boot` and in `fastboot flash recovery`, so a nandroid backup can't be made. Is it possible to make a nandroid backup at all with this ROM?

Is KeyStorage API working and up to date? The KeePass app asks about this.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
no clue on the freezes - they don't happen here in the YouTube app.

I'll look at the logs.

TWRP - no clue - I can't/won't do anything to support it - they change stuff too often. You'd have to reach out to them.

KeyStorage uhhh, we use nothing special there - same setup as normal Android 13
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Robin94:
I noticed that sliding down the notifications using the fingerprint sensor works during these 2 - 3 seconds.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Krzeszny:
I've just realized I can pull down the notifications the usual way, without gestures, during those freezes.

I don't use the YouTube app at all, for that matter (FAB blocks ads on YouTube videos without root access).

But I think it has to do with portrait/landscape switching while fullscreen/not fullscreen and maybe with locking/unlocking the device. It's happened 2 times in total.

As for TWRP, they haven't updated it since early 2019 and from what I've been seeing they don't care about supporting old not brand-new devices (come on, Pixel 2 is equivalent to modern smartphones specs-wise), so that means no backup. Not a big deal, cloud sync is enough these days tbh.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] therob2:
I upgraded smoothly from LOS19.1 to LOS20. For both I had and still have the problem, that Google Maps (installed form AuroraStore; no GAPPS installed) won't find a GPS position, although the green sign in the corner indicate location access.

Only if I run apps like OSMAnd or GPS-Test (both working well on same device) for a GPS fix some seconds before, Google Maps finds location and can be used for navigation. But switching off device for some minutes same again: Google Maps won't find the location without the help of one of the other apps.

What is the reason for this? What is the difference of the apps principle of accessing GPS location? And how I can achive a working Google Maps fix on google free LOS20 on Pixel 2/walley?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
Maps relies on Google Services I'm pretty sure. Wouldn't expect that to work.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] therob2:
npjohnson, first: many thanks for maintain pixel 2, hope for many mor LOS versions to come.

Indeed, without GAPPs installed nobody should expect a working Google Maps Apk.

But what I can assure you: on LOS18 (on a Fairphone 2) Google Maps worked perfectly - also without any other Gapps installed.

Only now in LOS19&20 on my Pixel 2 this doesn't work anymore - only sometimes after another App manages the first GPS-fix which Google maps then can use. After this I also used it for 2h for routing. Therefore I hoped it should also work for the first fix - but how and why not?

Are there any non-Google-Apps/services which should bring the missing functionality to LOS?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
Google Maps requires either GAPPS, or potentially you had MicroG installed. One of the ways to verify is to download an app like "Here We Go" another Map program that does not require Google Services. I have it installed on my Pixel 2, no GAPPS or MicroG and works fine. LOS does not disable GPS on our Pixel 2 phones, and works flawlessly for me. I don't believe your issue is with the OS, but the app you're trying to use.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] therob2:
I also use GPS in OSMAnd without any problems on my LOS20/Pixel2. I had never used GAPPS or MicroG, always just plain LineageOS since 17.1 or so. Google Maps APK works perfectly fine in principle - just it doesn't get the GPS fix. But it worked on 18.1 for sure (but cant say if changes in Google Maps APK or LOS is the cause), so it's a pitty.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jjcdennis:
npjohnson, thanks for your effort with the Pixel 2. I had a trouble free install and everything that I have tried, but Android Auto works well. AA gets stuck on the new vehicle startup process and looks for a location. Then it shuts itself down after that. As I use AA a lot on a Toyota screen in my car, it's key to me. Hopefully this can be fixed moving forward.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
I don't want to speak for the OP, but my experience has been similar to the post above. Android Auto requires Google Play services to work correctly as a requirement. The official LOS images are GApps free and see the original post Notes section for the only 'supported GApps package'

Notes:

The only supported GApps package at the moment is MindTheGapps, linked on our Wiki page about gapps.

Firmware is shipped in the ROM package for this device, so no need to worry about updating it on your own!

If you're asking about the Non-Official version, I'll leave that one to the OP since I don't use Google services or that build.

When I installed LineageOS 20 on Pixel 2, I did not put the SIM card inside the phone. I used wireless network to connect to internet and update the applications. After I install the SIM card, even though LTE is on and wireless is off, under Settings->About phone ->SIM status, it shows Wireless. Wireless also shows on the upper left corner of the lockscreen. How can I make the LineageOS display the cellphone carrier? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] js-xda:
Upgrading successfully from 230131 to 230207 (pure LOS, no GApps/Magisk/...) yesterday til today, I noticed two things:

Same as noticed before on LOS 19.1 (but only once as a newcomer to walleye), the progress bar in the updater app shows a constant value while the one in the notifications is progressing. This is at least the case during the period "Preparing first start" (translation from German UI). Was this time 78 % - I recall 80 % for the one update on LOS 19.1 that I executed.

This specific update took ages - I started it last night around 10 PM and it was not yet ready for a restart by 7 AM this morning. Is this "normal" for LOS 20.0 as it was much less for LOS 19.1?

Otherwise, thank you to everyone involved on this and previous builds!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jjcdennis:
Thanks for your response b00ster23. I guess I was confused by his statement, "My unofficial with Google Apps/Pixel goodies included". My mistake. I went to the WIKI page and there's a note in there about using Open Gapps, or Mind The Gapps. Will Android Auto work with either Gapps package?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] b00ster23:
I don't use Google services anymore. But I did have LOS 18.1 and a flavor of GAPPS installed (might have been MicroG) on a OG Pixel and it worked for me. But again, I'm not selling my phone soul to Google/ABC anymore so you may have to do a bit of digging. Might be better to drop over to the Android Auto forum for verification and research. Good Luck!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuckyTheCoder:
Thanks @npjohnson for the new build w/pixel goodies included! No issues so far.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TheUnimpossible:
I started having issues with google pay in the last week, specifically contactless payment. I was getting a notification that my phone did not meet the security standards. I tried a clean flash of the Jan 18th build and the Feb 9th build but it didn't fix the issue.

I've done a little bit of digging and I found this issue on github and I think it may be related.

Is this something that anybody else is experiencing?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] jjcdennis:
I resurrected this Pixel 2 for my wife, who's Pixel 3 XL seems to be dying. So it was important to her to have gapps and working Android Auto. So I searched around for a gapps version to use and decided in NikGApps for Android 13. A number of users had already done so and it seemed like the right choice. The install went well and the phone booted up, her google apps updated and the phone runs well and its pretty snappy. A question, I'm pretty sure that I can update to the February 9th version, without impacting gapps. Would there be any issue that could impact the phone?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
Nope go for it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Robin94:
I am having the same issue. Though I think it was working for me on Jan 18 build. The issue might be unrelated to the build.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] therob2:
I found something in this topic: I now tried many different old releases of Google Maps APK (via APK-Mirror), and found that the "newest" version of the app which can handle the GPS fix (tested on LOS 18 and LOS 20) is Google Maps APK v11.7.4 from Nov21. All six newer versions I tested did not work in this regard (the latest version at the moment is 11.66).

Don't see this as recommendation to run a more than a year old piece of google software - but this is the only option I found for using occasionally GMaps navigation with traffic information which I found for LOS20 without installing GApps/microG.

If anybody can tell me what most likely the relevant change in the APK is, I would be happy to understand it.

But for the moment it seems no part of LineageOS causes the problem, what is fine.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] godlich:
LineageOS 20 is draining my battery in standby with wifi on quite heavily.

I have used Skype the day before, so thats normal to use a lot of battery.

Please pay attention to the last to periods of use (so after the 2 last partly charge): During the first longer period, I had flight mode on. Consumption of accu is only slight. In the last period, the battery is draining heavily. I have not used the phone, its just lying there. I think that some apps as Signal are not terminated or put to standby correctly. They are all on "optimised" battery use.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LuckyTheCoder:
I've noticed this as well. I decided to switch to xDroidOSS for improved battery life.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] js-xda:
No such issue with plain LOS 20 (latest build, no GApps/Magisk/MicroG) here. So, I would dare to say it is not an issue of the ROM (battery lasting easily 4 to 5 days using it on WiFi but with active SIM for WhatsApp and few other applications) but maybe caused by the app, GApps or at least the combination of those with the ROM. Maybe the ROM is simply not as over-aggressive on power saving as some of the modern stock ROMs (compensating for poorly programmed apps - my guess).
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] godlich:
Thanks for the feedback. Interesting to hear. I indeed use microG, that might be the issue.

Can I easily to a sideload with LOS 19? Or does that mean I have to wipe all the data?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for keeping this phone alive :-)

I updated mine from 19.1 to 20.0. As it was not booting, after a factory reset, it booted fine.

The only issue I have so far is the SafetyNet, I could not add a credit card to google's wallet...

In 19.1 it was possible, but I could not revert back to 19.1 - the website only has 20 builds.

Does anyone know if there is a workaround to fix it? Thanks a lot!

I don't know if I'm in the right place. Otherwise, please let me know where to go.

First of all, thanks for your work on the Lineage OS for the Pixel 2.

I have the official version 20 installed. My device is not getting a Play Protect certificate. I then tried the following:

- I registered it with Google, did not succeed

Sign in - Google Accounts

- Then I thought maybe it's because my bootloader is unlocked, but when I tried to lock my bootloader I get the error message "ERROR:BootLinux Failed: Not started" and I can't get into recovery mode anymore, only when I unlocked the device again via fastboot flashing unlock I get to recovery mode

Is this normal with the Play Protect certificate? If so is it planned to include that in the version? Is the lock of the Pixel 2 not possible?

I have also followed the discussion in the thread where it was about the wallets, but there it was always about the unofficial version, as far as I have seen.

If I have to work on something else please let me know.

Excuse my bad English.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
That certification does nothing.

It doesn't make you pass SafetyNet.

Also, don't relock your bootloader on lineage, you may brick.

Recently got around to upgrading to LineageOS 20, as of this post I am on version 20-20230321-NIGHTLY-walleye

Google Wallet works when using Magisk with Displax's branch of the Universal SafetyNet Fix (2.4.0-MOD_1.2)

https://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix

I cannot send SMS messages through Verizon. Reverting to stock and reinstalling LineageOS 20 does not fix the issue. This issue is not present on LineageOS 19

Someone already registered an issue for this, I added my logs to the issue today:

I am facing an issue with (way too) low microphone volume:

WhatsApp (that is where I noticed it initially) - recorded audio message basically with no sound.

Using the recorder app (part of the ROM) - audio recording basically with no sound.

Using the camera app (part of the ROM) - low volume in video but still clearly recognizable.

If it would have been all without sound, I would have thought it is a hardware issue but I am doubting with this combination. Anyone else having such issues?

Tested both on 230307 and 230321 without GApps, MicroG or being rooted.
