[ROM][OFFICIAL] Lineage OS 18.1 for Pixel 2 / 2 XL

[dcarvil]

Hi guys, I just read:
Google allows custom ROM users to register their Google Services Framework (GSF) ID on their certification page in order to continue using Google Play Services on their LineageOS device.

Google Play Certification

What it is, and how it affects you

lineageos.org

- I want to install LOS but don't know if this certification will make you pass SafetyNet and be able to use banking apps and Netflix? Has anyone tried this?

AFAIK, that will not allow you to pass SafetyNet. However, you can currently pass SafetyNet on LOS by installing Magisk, MagiskHide Props Config module, and Universal SafetyNet Fix module. I'm using Magisk V23.0, Universal SafetyNet Fix V1.2.0, and the latest MagiskHide Props Config.

Funny thing after the update I installed yesterday.my phone now charges with regular adapters only. cannot charge it with the original adapter.also sometimes when I plug in it reboots...

 

[baikal2]

This is the changelog from

17/12/20

• December ASB
• Rebased on r19 tags
• Added Active Edge support (credits to kdrag0n)
• Added battery light / notification LED customisation
• Added new Styles customisation from AOSP
• Lots of bug fixes and general improvements

Can anyone tell me what the text in Red means. Does the notification LED customization mean that the LED notifies(blinks) when there is a call/text etc ?

I am looking of this feature. Light flow worked till yesterday and today it does not work. Not sure what chnaged overnight.

TIA.

With LOS 18.1 for the Pixel 2 & 2 XL, there’s an option to have the notification LED illuminate with custom colors for specific apps and their notifications. This can be setup by a user for any installed apps on their phone, a very useful option.

Hi,

I'm having some issues installing LineageOS on my taimen. I've done it before but it doesn't seem to want to work now. I initially tried to use TWRP but i could sideload or access any zips on the device so I flashed Lineage Recovery and I can intiate Sideload but its just stuck at Verifying.. any advice?

EDIT: ok figured it out. Had to place the zip on an external drive, make sure my phone was in Slot A, boot TWRP, mount the external drive and flash from there, I got a few errors saying it couldn't mount /Vendor but it seems to work

This is exactly what I'm trying to do. Which props signature did you use?

"Google Pixel 2 XL". Version 1.2.0 of USNF is necessary, not one of the newer versions.

Do you really have to wipe internal storage to install Lineage? I see some guides saying to just wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik cache with TWRP, but leave internal storage alone. Other guides say to do a factory reset or wipe userdata using fastboot (which I assume wipes internal storage). What's correct?

 

[MrBrady]

Just updated to Magisk 24.1 (release) and it's bootlooping. Anybody else experience the same on this ROM?

EDIT: I flashed the Magisk uninstaller via TWRP and then reinstalled Magisk 24.1. Works fine now.

I installed the Unicornblood kernel on top of this and now my phone won't connect to my Macbook in data transfer, ADB or Fastboot. When the device is booted and I plug in my phone to the laptop, it shows the Notification about USB debugging and connected, but then those go away after about 1/2 second. My phone is kind of finicky, so it could be unrelated to the kernel, but that's the only thing that's changed since this issue came up.

Is there a way to re-flash the ROM while the device is booted? Similar to taking a LineageOS OTA update? I'd like to get the stock kernel back on here, but am unsure how to do it since I can't connect to my laptop.

If you just want to flash the kernel (not a ROM) EX Kernel Manager can flash boot.img. It's in the Play Store.

Have you tried different USB cables and ports? Also, remove any hubs or adapters.

Strangely enough I got it to work as soon as I plugged in a hub instead of direct. Maybe my phone doesn't like M1 Macs? I dunno.

Thanks for the reminder about EXKM. I had forgotten about that.

My phone had the LineageOS rom for about a year now - I didnt run any updates or anything.
Now I've got a new phone, and tried to setup a Google Child Account which I can control - all worked well, until she needed YouTube which wasn't showing even after I explicitly enabled it, so I tried rebooting the phone - and it went into a Reboot Loop

I can get into the Fastboot with Power+VolDown, adb doesn't see the device, but fastboot does - I tried erasing user data with -w no success, I tried reflashing latest version, no success. tried to boot TWRP 3.5.2 - no success still goes into reboot mode.
(Choosing Recovery Mode just goes back into boot loop)

Nuclear option I tried is flashing stock Android rom: https://gist.github.com/Carmageddon/41134b3c52ef3a6b531e528997842606
The log looks good, but the phone immediately reboots and is still in a boot loop mode

It seems after that nuclear options though, its automatically boots back into the Fastboot mode, after one attempt (the Google Logo showing on white background for a few secs)

I am at a loss, what to do/try next?

This worked for me last time I saw that screen - https://www.blogtechtips.com/2017/0...ngle-error-symbol-on-android-recovery-screen/

I've tried following the instruction:

Hold down Power + Volume up and Down all at the same time

But it goes back into Fastboot - no change

Sounds like maybe an A/B issue.

If you go nuclear and flash factory images, make sure you're doing it on both the A and B partitions.

As for the Family controls, I tried doing the same thing about a year ago and it didn't work on LOS for some reason. I don't know if they've fixed it since then.

I've checked and it says
(bootloader) current-slot:a
I've issued command fastboot --set-active=b
I removed -w on the flash-all.bat script so it doesnt wipe the old a, but this time I looked at the output, as well as the old output I posted on gist - it still flashes and re-sets to b:
Setting current slot to 'b' OKAY [ 0.009s]

After this, it still is in a boot loop and boots back into Fastboot

I've even tried to manually re-set active to a and eventually I did manage to have it set current slot to a during flashing - but it goes back into a loop as well

Have you tried using fastboot format userdata?

 

[Carmageddon1984]

Have you tried using fastboot format userdata?

I just tried, still in boot loop.
Re-flashed with the flash-all script afterwards, still no change.

Anything else I can try? any further info you need?
