Hey, i don't know why but for me i couldn't get the commands to work. Even just fastboot set_active a didn't work.
So i just spent 3 hours unlocking oem then trining to install then it not working, corrupting the device and fixing it. Now im back on stock rom. I just wonder, why on earth did even the basic First command not work ?

Similar issue here.

What works:
Code: 
fastboot set_active a
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
And that's about it. No way for me to flash it succesfully.

Everything else either isn't recognized as command or my usual issue of it not finding that partition (e.g. for some reason the system thinks that the system partition does not exist...maybe a driver issue? I am at a loss). But I was already stuck trying to root the phone with the stock firmware, always ending up in a bootloop despite doing every step as listed.
Any idea why those commands do not work? Did you use anything special to make them work?

Well for me even the "fastboot set_active a'' didnt work, and dont dream about those two ''
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img[/CODE]''

I only installed roms on my old xz1 compact and a galaxy s4, and there it was so much easier, just did everything in TWRP. I dont know what changed in that time.

I figured out an error mine. It seems that an error with the fastboot reboot fasboot command led to a misunderstanding (for some reason it rebooted to system the first time?). This time it actually booted into the proper fastbootd menu and the installation was a success.

Now I am merely struggling to get the ROM To pass SafetyNet with microG and Magisk. But that seems to be of no avail.
Any chance you could include a version that comes with microG (or at least no gapps) and support signature spoofing? That would be much appreciated!

I currently have no way to build such version. I used free Oracle Cloud to build this ROM, and my trial expired a few days back. My PC is nowhere near powerful enough to compile Android. The ROM will be maintained again when I find a machine to build it on.

Oh, that's a shame. Sadly I haven't learned any of this yet, so I got no idea how to do that myself either (nor do I know what sort of performance is needed, but a Ryzen 3600 won't cut it either).

Wishing you best luck on getting this back on track!

Ryzen 3600 will suffice. You need either 8 cores or 4 with hyperthreading, 16 GB RAM and about 300 GB of disk space (I highly recommend using SSD if you don't want it to take 20 hours).

I have Ryzen 9 5900x with 32GB of DDR4 3600 and over a TB of storage space to spare. If you provide me with build instructions I will happily run any processes you need to keep this updated.

check device manager when you enter in fastbootd and install the driver, this works for me

As mentioned earlier, I already fixed it, but thanks!
Either a driver error or it was because I didn't do the "fastboot reboot fastboot" properly when I was in fastboot, which eventually brought up a different menu (although it seems I can install on either now?). Tech is strange sometimes.

After plugging in the headset, the headset can't make sound, but it can control the playback. My headset is OK.

I got this rom setup and it's fantastic, but I have an issue and I wonder if anyone else is experiencing it: notifications for almost all apps simply do not work, stuff like Discord, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, for some reason simply do not display any notification AT ALL and I wonder if anyone has some sort of solution. Was looking up if there's a fix for it and from what I seen the beta of android 12 has the same issue, so I'm wondering if this rom was built on the beta 4 version of 12? Or is it simply something on my end that's making it **** itself?

Not sure, but that does sound like the Google push service is not working properly (and those services rely on that, IIRC). While the ROM seems nice, I actually switched to GSI's instead (those also get way better support).
One thing I wonder about is why it says "ShapeShiftOS is a custom-rom based on ExtendedUI that aims to provide a different user interface and experience than any other ROM on the market" looks pretty much just like vanilla Android 12 with some Pixel mods.

    About ShapeShiftOS
    ShapeShiftOS is a custom-rom based on ExtendedUI that aims to provide a different user interface and experience than any other ROM on the market.

    -no 120 Hz FIXED
    -even for 60 Hz, UI is stuttery (games work fine) FIXED

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot erase metadata // only on first install, ignore on upgrading
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_a // so that fastboot won't complain about disk space

fastboot create-logical-partition system_a 0
fastboot flash system system.img

    Fixed now - OneDrive messed up the previous link. I wouldn't use it at all, but I got 1000 GB for free, would be a shame for it to go to waste...
