Installing custom ROM android 10

[Pixel_XX]

Noob questions:
I've read that TWRP won't coming for android 10 any time soon because of the changes google made to the recovery, etc etc

Currently running Android Q and was previously rooted, but went back to factory images since I wanted Android 10 when it came out.

Now im wanting to install custom ROMs but i can't even boot into TWRP since its "outdated".

What are my options? Go back to a previous Android 9 version and run TWRP from there? And are there any good Android Q custom ROMs atm? Would really like to run Q since i love the "system wide" dark theme (yes i have used swift and substratum, but they dont compare imo) as well as the notification bubbles.

Also, correct me if im wrong but only Magisk Canary works at the moment right (for Q)? And how would you go about installing it without TWRP?

See this thread for installing Magisk. It is a bit outdated - you no longer need Magisk Canary. Stable version 20 works fine. Get the latest platform tools also.

You don't need TWRP to flash ROMS. You can flash with adb.

I can't help with your other questions.

Go down to the word procedure on the first page to see the temp solution (at least for Pixel 3 XL Havoc). He is also working on an Android 10 Havoc build for the P3.

How so? Sideloading is essentially what a TWRP .zip flash of a custom ROM does (thus why it bounces slots). The initial instructions for flashing on Android 10 were a bit more involved until he got the sideload method working (and stayed in the active slot). Take a look at post #92 on page 10 of that thread.
