[Pixel 2XL][TESTING] Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 builds

[RaymanFX]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Bugs/Issues :

• Mobile data seems to be broken
• Project Fi eSim cards do not work
• VoLTE/IMS not working
• ...?

Instructions :

• Download the latest build
• Reboot to recovery
• Flash the latest build
• Reboot

Downloads :

• Builds : See below

Reporting Bugs

• DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

I'm your Lineage maintainer for taimen aka Pixel 2 XL, but will share my builds here until we provide official builds.

WARNING: These are my personal testing builds. They include unmerged, work-in-progress stuff such as SuperUser, Privacy Guard, Google Play services etc. DO NOT FLASH 3RD PARTY GAPPS PACKAGES!

If you see a warning about vendor partition mismatch, you can ignore that in most cases, but before reporting issues you should be on the right version (without the warning).

Nice!

 

[GridironTrenches]

so are any gapps packages safe to flash

 

[kauemelhado]

Any secrets or step-by-step on how to flash? The reason I ask this is due to the difference of Pixel 2 XL (partition A/B) in comparision to other devices.

 

[Badger50]

so are any gapps packages safe to flash

According to the OP: "DO NOT FLASH ANY 3RD PARTY GAPPS PACKAGES"

 

[GridironTrenches]

yeah but i was wondering if lineage has their own form of Gapps

 

[Badger50]

I would surmise from the instructions in the OP, and given the size of the download(573.42mb) that there will only be the minimum required to allow one to have Google play services, and play story. The rest you can download on your own. Again, this is my personal assumption.

Hey RaymanFX. First, thank you for sharing your personal build!! 2nd, I would assume this is NOT substratum compatible, correct?

 

[GridironTrenches]

this is awesome because one of my favorite things with past phones was waking up to a new cyanogen nightly to flash. i installed pure nexus with the 6p before lineage built a 6p rom but now it seems like lineage is first for the pixel 2 xl. yay

Unless he went out of his way to break OMS, yes substratum is supported. Consider LineageOS 15.1 to be the same as your stock ROM with respect to substratum compatibility, atleast for now.

Edit: Obviously don't report force closes from bad overlays as ROM bugs, duh.

Would you be willing to post your initial experience? I plan to flash it when I get home this evening, but that is 10 hours from now, and I would love to live vicariously through someone. [emoji3]

Be happy to my friend. I was always the Guinea pig in PT school back in the day, so I'm used to it :good::good:

Yeah curious on what features are included. Changelog looks like it's stock.

 

[TheNightman]

**EDIT**
It's booting after a second flash. Not sure what happened, but after I reinstalled TWRP and installed the zip a second time, the ROM is booting. I'll update this post after I'm done with setup

Ignore this ============================================
Don't flash! Not booting! Wiped my TWRP!

Steps I took:
Boot to twrp
Format system, data and cache
Install zip
Reboot

What happened:
Stuck at google logo
Recovery is now stock

Guess I'm pulling my titanium backup and flashing system images
=====================================================

 

[Badger50]

Don't flash! Not booting! Wiped my TWRP!

And there ya go. You beat me to it. Thanks bruh :good:

What do you mean wiped your twrp?

 

[TheNightman]

What do you mean wiped your twrp?

My recovery is back to stock

 

[raynan]

I'm more curious to see if the Active Edge feature works. I'll probably play with it this weekend; 12-hour Saturday shifts are pretty boring.

Awesome to see some good development paving the way; between Xposed and LOS, we're now on the right track! Thanks for sharing!

Having come from the OG PiXL, wiping system was a problem in the beginning and you always flashed TWRP after any zip, especially ROMs.

But good info to know!
