Update: It works now. I had to use the "with GApps" zip file to get it working. Before that, I tried 3 different "without GApps" zip files. So I would recommend jorgen2009 takes a look at the recent "without GApps" releases to see if something is wrong with them.

Followed advice of previous poster and installed rom with gapps. Looks like the no gapps build is bad?

For now I've deleted the latest non-gapps version. The strange thing is that the only difference between the gapps and non-gapps version is the opengapps entry in the manifest and in the device tree to activate the installation, nothing else. All vendor files are the same. To rule out kernel/recovery issues could someone try to flash a non-gapps version, reboot to recovery and install a custom kernel and report back.?

Idk if it's related to the posters above, but I've recently run into similar issues with my own builds of lineage. The builds just hang on the boot animation or they skip it and go right back to TWRP.

To generate the vendor files for my builds, I used the android-prepare-vendor utility applied to the PQ1A.181105.017.A1 (November) factory image. If it's the case that jorgen2009 built his NOGAPPS 11/10 build using the same utility and release, then this would seem to indicate something screwy going on with either 1) google's factory images for this month OR 2) the utility's handling of those factory images. (Additionally, haven't people been reporting wi-fi issues with the November update?)

Anyway, I'm tired so hopefully that makes sense. Mostly just wanna express that it's good to know I haven't been habitually messing something up in the build process.

First, the builds I made are still on the October patches, Lineage hasn't been updated to the November patches yet. Second, I tried those vendor files as well, but they add a lot of extra date to the ROM that's not needed. The builds with 'your' script, as well as the vendor tree from Aquarios all worked fine when I tested them, but for now I use the extract-files script to generate the needed blobs, just to be 100% true to the ROM.

I built a new ROM with some new merges in the OpenGapps scripts, hopefully the build will have a better working Setup Wizard. It's a hassle to get GApps working properly on our device. It's still on the October patches, no need to update vendor files yet

Hmmm, very weird. I completely setup a new building environment, downloaded all sources again and made some new builts, both GApps and non-GApps versions. As the November security patches have been merged and are included now, you will need the November vendor image too. Please keep me informed if these builts boot properly

I've flashed the November vendor update followed by lineage-16.0-20181114-UNOFFICIAL-walleye and twrp-3.2.3-1-walleye and now i'm stuck in that endless lineage startup animation, too. Previous updates used to work well tho.

Tried again w/o twrp and then from lineageos startup it rebooted into original recovery suggesting to erase user data.

Finally i'm on an all clean stock rom for now *sigh*

I found the problem and uploaded two new ROMs. Don't be alarmed by the name of the non-gapps version, it's another one as the faulty one from yesterday. Happy flashing!

I was lazy and curious so i've simply flashed lineage-16.0-20181115-UNOFFICIAL-walleye onto my fully setup stock+sultan+twrp and it (almost) works. Some FC of pixel ambient services for now but at least it boots. I'll mess around a bit more and if nothing helps i'm going for another complete setup from scratch. Wouldn't be the first round within the last 24 hrs.

To get rid of stock bloat i've decided to go from scratch again and hereby i confirm it's running smoothly so far. Gotta fully setup and restore now. Meh.

The Lineage team took out the Gallery2 for a while, but there were lots of commits yesterday for it. Try the new build I just made, I think it should be in now (couldn't test the ROM myself yet, so let us know if you do)

No problem, just sharing my builds. Active Edge, like Now Playing, is not working in any other ROM than stock as far as I can tell and it probably never will either

Everything seems to be working fine except for CDMA carriers not being able to connect to LTE, Also, whenever I connect my phone to charge, it keeps on making the charging sound over and over? not sure if anyone else has this problem though.

    LineageOS is a free and open-source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform.

    This is an unofficial build of LineageOS for the Pixel 2 (walleye). I always liked Lineage (and its predecessor CyanogenMOD) as well as the Google line of phones. Unfortunately having a Google Pixel phone isn't certainty for a lot of custom ROMS anymore, so that's why I decided to compile my own version. It's been quite challeging, but I think I finally have a build that is good enough to share.

    About
    This ROM is is always built straight from the LineageOS sources found on https://github.com/lineageos. There are only 3 changes in order to get this build:
    1. The binaries for this ROM come from AICP
    2. GApps are compiled with the ROM from MindTheGapps including the Pixel specific bits for unlimited photo upload for instance
    3. Disabled Android Verity Boot (AVB), so we don't get the security warning when booting
    I am not a developer, I only build this ROM and it reflects the the current status. If there are any things missing or not working I suggest to contact the LineageOS team, they are the real geniuses here and deserve all the credits. I will try to keep this ROM updated on a regular basis.

    First Installation
    Installing the ROM can be a little hard, especially the first install. Upgrades will be relatively easy though. This first setup is only needed when coming from a different ROM then this. I can't support you if you did't follow this first installation. Be warned it will wipe your user data in the process
    1. In order to get the initial setup and also to use the same vendor partition as the ROM you have to install the latest stock Pixel 2 image from Google found here. More info on unlocking your phone and installing the latest Pixel image can be found in the excellent post by @nathanchance found here. The bestway to flash a stock ROM in my opinion is @Deuces' script found here. The benefit of this is that it'll flash the image to both slots, so they are both on the latest build, including the bootloader and radio. All instructions for using the script are inside the forum. After flashing the image make sure you reboot at least once (no need to set it up now though).
    2. Place the ROM and optionally the TWRP zip and root from (Magisk or from LineageOS (not tested) on the phone and reboot to recovery by using the command line (fastboot boot twrp.img)
    3. Wipe 'data' and 'Dalvik / Art Cache' from TWRP - Wipe - Advanced Wipe. Optionally you should also delete the Android folder on your internal storage through the TWRP File Manager
    4. Flash the ROM and optionally the TWRP zip and reboot the phone

    Upgrades to new version
    After the hard initial work to get the ROM installed it's going to be easy for upgrades to new versions.
    1. Download the new ROM and reboot of flash to TWRP
    2. Flash the new ROM and optionally TWRP. If you want to flash another kernel or a root solution you will have to reboot you phone, so it switches slots and let it boot normally. Then go back to recovery and flash in this order: TWRP - kernel - Magisk and reboot
    After a monthly update from Google and only when LineageOS also adapted to the latest monthly sources (I will tell you this) you will have to do an extra step:
    1. Download the latest Lineage OS ROM and place it on the internal storage
    2. Download the latest image from the Google Factory Images site and run Deuces' script. No need to wipe your data!
    3. After the script finishes it automatically boots into the bootloader. From here fastboot into TWRP and flash the previously downloaded new ROM, optionally followed by TWRP.
    4. Optionally, after a reboot you can flash Magisk and/or another kernel.

    Another build is up. This time I used OpenGapps so you might need to clear the Store cache. I had no problems upgrading myself. The Text-to-speech improved a lot with these Gapps for me.
    New in this build is the LED light when charging and some basic stuff for more compatibility with our device and some networks. Also all the normal changes since the last build for LineageOS are in of course. For the download link see the OP. I also adjusted the OP a bit to show the things that are known not to work. Let me know if I missed something so I can adjust the list

    Everyone who has had a rom thread has closed the thread for different reasons, time, family, frustration or lack of support etc...

    I see don't see why we should be negative and assumee the same is the case with this build. Every rom thread has produced better and more stable builds as time progressed.
    @Joregen2009, I have seen your name around before, appreciate you building!!

    It's my pleasure. I only wanted to share my build, because I know that many of you much be as frustrated as me for the lack of ROMs for our device.
    We'll see how long this thread will hold. If it's up to me I'll try to provide at least a weekly build from the actual sources, or whenever there are some major changes in the sources that are important for our device until the Lineage Team declares our device official. Let's hope that happens soon and that this thread can contribute to that.

    For the adventurors amongst us, I placed a preview of Lineage Is 16.0 in the non gapps folder. It's not really ready yet, but It is a very nice start. If you want Gapps you can use the new 9.0 versions of OpenGapps. Since it's very premature I'm not supporting this preview, your on your own here

    Thanks to @GubblerJackson for pointing me in the right direction

    Another week, another update. As usual including all the updates from LineageOS and OpenGapps up till about 3 hours ago. See OP for the downloadlink and md5sum.

    If you get an error form the play store or instant apps app, just clear the app data (Settings - Apps & notifications - See all apps - dot menu - Show system) and you'll be fine again
