REQUEST: Marshmallow ROM for Pixel XL - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Sorry, didnt know what thread to post in.
Can someone compile a Marshmallow ROM for Pixel XL? Just so that we can run our beloved Xposed module, please? I can even donate few $ if that's the motivation.

Highly doubt it would be possible unless someone puts in tremendous hours of work into this since the pixel came with nougat.
I just don't see some Dev putting hours into this just for xposed and for an obsolete version of Android.

What do you need Xposed for so badly..?

Xposed isn't really needed for much anymore. I mean most stuff u can do on xposed you can do with root, or root app, or an app, or flashable zip. And MM not gonna happen like he said, wishful thinking, lol. We need an Android O ROM though ? once TWRP works on O.

Generally speaking, such requests belong in the Q&A forum.
That stated, I can't imagine having the nerve to ask a question that starts with the words "can someone compile a ROM..."
In a word, this request should have never been made.
As others have mentioned, it's not likely someone can build a ROM based on an operating system that has never been available with this device.

A simple search would have revealed that this question was already posted and shot down almost as fast as in this thread. What you're asking is for someone to completely rewrite marshmallow to run on pixel. This will never happen.

Going by the previous threads he has created, I'd say some sort of AOSP ROM.
Really freaking sweet to run Beanstalk on htc10. Very smooth and fast.
Most things are don't great. Pmed the other stuff

New phone purchase?

I recently cracked the screen on my phone and was wondering if anyone here has a pixel 2 and if it's worth it to buy it or to wait for the 3 to come out and if it's easy to root and has more development than the pixel did or if I should get a different phone.

Google Phone Call Blocking Options

I'm posting a screenshot of what I'm asking about. What is it that allows options like these seen at the top to be available in some ROMs but not others???
I've asked this before in the past but now I can show exactly what I'm talking about.
Is this a modded apk or something else??
I want these options to be available on Stock.... that's my motivation for asking.

There used to be a call block/spam feature in the stock phone app. I used to mark numbers all the time by long pressing the missed call then tapping the option but I think I lost it many months ago. Maybe 6+ months now.

That's still there, no matter the ROM....for me anyway. The ones I mentioned above are additional and VERY useful blocking options.
I've been on AOSPEx specifically because these options are available.

Gotcha. That stinks. At least you don't know what you are missing. That makes it worse. It's handy but not totally necessary.

I would also greatly appreciate getting those blocking options in the stock dialer. IDK why Google hasn't implemented it.
Been looking and not found an answer myself.
Anyone know what is required? (running newest version as of April 15 2019 of contacts.apk)
perhaps some one who has it can confirm ver of contacts and phone apks?

How does it work, can you block anyone that is not in your contacts, or is it only known spammers?
I have a second 2 XL that I picked up on Swappa, I installed Q. It looks like it solves the problem of call blocking. :good:

I just tap the recent call, can be in contacts or not, and there's a block/spam report.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
@djcrystals or anyone else did figure out what it takes to get the other options besides just block/report spam?
Limiting calls to the contacts or blocking unlisted or private numbers is really what I am after. Don't mind payphone calls cause figure it's got to be real important if you gonna call from one of them.

It's a Commit that has to be baked into a rom. I've been Testing builds for AquariOS. They will be implementing it soon. AOSiP and AEX already have it and so does Android Q Beta.....it's making it's way around. It's gotta be baked in though....that's all I've been able to find out.

Thank you. I have a Pixel not the XL, so the AquariOS and such I can't use sure to build. You are saying that the Android Q Beta builds have it? Perhaps someone who is way smarter then I can come up with a patch one could use in TWRP.

I don't think it'll be long before it starts to spread to other ROMs....the fellas at AquariOS didn't even know about it. They started to cook it in as soon as I brought it up in a Telegram chat. BenzoROM doesn't have it? That ROM was available for a time being on the 3XL....I thought I remember that ROM having it....I dunno....been awhile...

Yes it has all of the options. Fahrbot Developer of RCB told me a few months ago that some awesome blocking features were coming to Android, that is why he had to let his app demise as Google would not allow it to work any more.

Android Q beta 5 BIG PROBLEM

Hey everyone, so I seem to be having a unique issue with Android Q. This has happened on beta 4 and now beta 5 as well. For some reason I cannot download anything, and I mean anything outside of the Google play store. I went back to an Android pie build after experiencing this on Android Q beta 4 and figured any issue like that would be resolved in beta 5 but here I am again 15 minutes after flashing and setting up beta 5 I have the exact same problem. I am rooted, with no magisk modules. That's actually how I discovered this problem is still affecting me, I went to download The busybox module in the magisk app, and I get "download failed" in the status bar every single time no matter what the circumstances are. I can't get a download to even start whether I'm on Wi-Fi or LTE, chrome even refuses to download. Weirdly, I can download any new app or update any previous app I want with no issues. I have changed no settings whatsoever so I'm stumped. I'm curious if anybody can help me troubleshoot this, as I'd like to finally get to try Android Q. Thanks for any help guys
I just tested a download on Chrome. Worked fine for me. Check your app permissions from settings. That's all I can think of.

Thanks for the response man, I actually just figured it out. For some reason, I was brain farting and installing a kernel completely meant for Pie. I actually just flashed the correct Q build of the kernel and it fixed everything. Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it!

Hey I hear ya man! I always post the answers to my questions if I figure it out for that reason exactly. Can't tell you how many times I either see a thread with my exact problem with no solution posted, or I see 10 other threads asking how to solve a problem that I or another user has answered 5 other times. The search function is great for people that use it!

I think asked what I asked wrong. I meant more in the manner of.. does anyone think in the future months this device will receive the same attention as the 7 pro. The only reason I got the T over pro was I use snap chat alot and didn't know how well the moving camera would hold up.

I honestly think we would have a good amount of rom development because of the price of the phone and the specs you get for the price is pretty much unmatched. In some cases our phone is better than the 7 Pro.
I honestly wanted the Pixel 4 XL but once I saw the specs and the price I was like no way. Just have patience and I'm sure you'll be rewarded.

haha! The phone barely came out. Just wait. Official ROMs will come and then the developers will move to it and we'll have an abundance of custom roms you can pick from all day long.
This is a great phone so we don't have to worry about this
Just hang in there and good stuff will happen on XDA...

Good to hear. This is my first one plus device and didn’t know how much development goes on. I’ve always owned Samsung where I never worried about development ?

Android 10 has changed a lot with devices launched with it, so development such as TWRP will probably take some time.
However, kernels can be unified with the 7 Pro series, ElementalX has added test support for 7T series.

if you want to have an idea just check out the 5T and 6T XDA forums, see how much development are still going on.
My 5T currently is running a custom Android 10 ROM which is perfectly stable, its amazing
