I have a black screen after booting up the rom. Is there anyway to fix that?

Go back to twrp and flash the rom and twrp again.

i did that but didnt work. so i ended up wiping data. didnt know that flashing the vendor and magisk at the same time would cause it to go to a black screen

So what’s the news?

A lot of our developers to include myself have been doing this custom ROM thing for a while now. Some of us as early as the ICS days. The leadership in DU has decided that it time to call it quits. We have been doing this for a while now and have nothing to prove. Our Android P builds are as good as they’re going to be, as you can tell and we figured we end things on a high note. Things are going very well but is time to move on. At the end of Android P, the project you’ve all come to love or maybe hate lol will dissolve. Our developers are free to do what they want to do but I suspect most will continue to kick ass and take names elsewhere for other projects.

For myself, I will pursue making a name for myself over on Twitch. Is something that I’ve wanted to do for a while now but just never had a whole lot of time or even space on my computer to do so. With DU in the rear view mirror, I believe I can give it my all. If nothing else, I can have some fun with that ?

Our Github organization will stay up as a reference for any developers that would like to carry on a similar project and/or port any of our work forward to future versions. However, our Discord server, Twitter account and other accounts that we used to communicate with our base will be shut down at the end of P.

We like to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors throughout the years. Is definitely been a good experience and we wouldn’t have done it any other way because we did it our way! Thank you again!

Well, it was an early April Fools joke after all.

https://dirtyunicorns.com/2019/04/05/official-13-1/

It’s that time of the year again, folks! Needless to say, many of you again — were fooled by our shenanigans. See here if you need to be reminded of specifics. This originated as a stupid idea of mine, which I brought up in conversation with Alex. The team didn’t even have any idea about it until after the post had already been made (usually we discuss these things, but Alex and I agreed that we had to strike while the iron was hot). Mostly in the hopes to see who would really believe this as our previous years jokes have been pretty elaborate and well thought out. This year it was entirely random. All in all, we do love to have a good laugh like the rest of you. For those of you that we have fooled (again), shame on you. For those of you who were not convinced, shame on us.

Nevertheless, DU is not going anywhere anytime soon. We will be here to continue doing what we enjoy/love for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for continuing to use Dirty Unicorns.

Not really buying it since April is coming up.

They have had some long running April fools jokes over the past years so I'm sure this is one too.

Well, what can I say

Holy crap! That boot animation is fire!
First time jumping on the DU train with the Pixel 2 XL. Getting tired of stock...finally.

This ROM is freaking beautiful! I have not found a single bug yet. Squeeze works. Wi-Fi calling works beautifully (I'm on Fi). Everything just works. And in the end, it still feels very much like the stock pixel 2 XL ROM but better. And it could just be me and my excitement for a new ROM, but it feels so smooth and fluid, even more so than stock. Awesome job guys!

I am having issues upgrading from 12.x to the latest 13.1. I flashed the latest stock image from Google and then downloaded 13.1 and the latest vendor image file taimen_pq2a-190405-003.img from April 2nd and flashed the vendor image and then 13.1 official. I've done this twice now and it hangs at the Google logo... each time for 1 hour plus. Any ideas on how to get this flashed?

Flash or sideload April's ota and set up stock first. Fastboot update both slots (bootloader, radio, vendor) Then you'll be good to flash du and twrp.zip. All you need to wipe is data.

Can you post the boot animation kind sir!

 

[DonQuixote77]

Anyone having issues flashing should go to the DU Discord server and read the pinned post in the Taimen thread. Detailed instructions are there.
I've been flashing their builds since their first public Pie release without a single issue, so if you're having problems it's probably user error.

So I flashed the vendor, ROM update and twrp installer but when I boot up it still says vendor mismatch. What should I do?

When that's happened to me with various ROMs in the past, I've always just flashed the vendor again via fast boot and everything's all right.

Weird. I'll try flashing it in twrp again.

That's expected because you are installing vendor to slot a let's say, then you flash the rom which switches slots before flashing. So the rom is now in slot b. That's why you also have to reboot recovery before flashing another kernel or magisk.

 

[CyberpodS2]

I've been flashing vendor and rom twice to cover both slots each month. That way if I decide to make changes and it swaps slots on me I'm still covered.

Can you tell the exact procedure you follow?

I use dueces script as it has does it for me without fail. @Badger50 does it manually so if he's around I'm sure he can either list it out or point you to a tut on how to flash all the update parts to both slots....

I also use deuce script for returning to stock
But my question was as i understood that you flash custom roms to both slots and thats what i wanted to know about, the exact step by step guide for doing that

Ah right. Nightshift fog.

I use TWRP to switch active slots and install the vendor file to both slots. As for the rom, installing and booting it twice switches it from a-b then b-a.

Can anyone confirm if DU has oms commits?
Cheers ?
