Back on Oreo, all we had to do was bring the Framework-res__auto_generated.apm from the Pixel 2 (or Pixel 2 XL) and install it in System/vendor/overlay. Since we don't have root (yet) for P, is there any other way to do it? I tried via TWRP (ADB in TWRP and making a flashable zip) but I'm honestly not extremely experienced with this. Via TWRP I can't get system/vendor/overlay to show, and putting the APK in Vendor/overlay doesn't seem to activate it. Any ideas, or just wait for root?

Looks like root is working sorta with magisk, just an issue with magisk manager. You might be able to get unrestricted root access to a file explorer app and compete your task. Let me know how it goes because id like to get AOD working too :good:

To get this working, flash Magisk 16 via TWRP, boot up and use a file manager (I used ES file manager) to move the APK here to system/vendor/overlay overwrite the original. The phone will either reboot, or systemui will crash, when you get back in, go into the file manager again and set the correct permissions.
Make sure you remove your passwords, just incase something goes wrong while installing it.

If you are on 8.1, you need to use the APK extracted from a 8.1 system IMG for the Pixel 2 or Pixel XL 2. As for the file manager, try Amaze, I used it when ES was crashing non-stop.

Yeah the one from the foreground thread is the one I used. This might be a dumb question but how did you open the system image from the pixel 2 factory image to get the framework file?

I don't think it's much different honestly, it SHOULD still work the same. The original XL and 2 XL are significantly different and it works fine, I have also used the APK from the normal Pixel 2 on my XL with no issues.

Hi all,
The latest update has some issues- the OS boots and I am immediately presented with a system.ui has been stopped dialogue. I'm unable to open the app drawer, open an app, open the notification drop-down. The popup appears almost immediately after dismissing. I think the Testers really missed something here.......
I'm going to have to try and locate the previous version and hope I can install it through twrp.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

I was unable to install the apks located there in the traditional way. I tried to install them through TWRP via adb push file.apk /system/app but it didn't work. I'm unaware of how to install APKs outside of the system otherwise? Regardless, downgrading, if this method is viable, didn't work. I had to completely wipe clean and start fresh.

Not sure if HTC is to blame, or we...or you being still on marshmallow.
Next time please post in the viper thread, then I would have seen your post much earlier to debug your issue.
we found the issue.
run:
adb shell settings put system tweaks_hquicksettings Tweaks
..and it will be fixed. when you resetup your toggles, don't pick any of the two sync toggles.
I'll create a flashable zip to remove those soon.

You should have been able to fix it without wiping by booting to recovery and dirty flashing the ROM.

Not sure who is to blame, htc or we.
You can install the update, with either the fix installed or the sync toggles removed.
or you dirty flash the fullrom on top, that way the sync toggles stay working.

I have this problem on my m8 as well. Unfortunately I was not able to solve this problem with your post. I cannot execute the adb command since adb is telling me that my device is offline (I booted into the OS with the screen going on and off).
I also flashed the zip file, but it didn't work out either. I am not sure which version of viper I have (I assume it's the 6.0.1), so I tried different zips but no success...
Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I really don't want to do a full reset.

another way would be to go to twrp->advanced->file manager
navigate to /data/app/ and delete the com.htc.lockscreen folder do the same in /data/data
boot up, then go back to recovery and flash the fullrom on top.
if nothing helps, you can do a twrp backup, then clean flash. Now you can restore your apps and data with titanium backup.
Been looking for a solution to this ! My gf phone had the exact same issue, dirty flashed and still no good etc.
I shall try the packages J posted. Thanks so much!

I only got my 2XL yesterday, but this was one of the first things I setup. Running a mix of Swift Black / VaLeRie and have noticed no
performance or battery problems. It's freaking awesome. This is one out of two reasons I root my phone, nice not to have to
wait for root to use it.
I'm using it for navigation buttons to avoid the burn-in issue. I didn't see any performance or battery issue.
I tried the immersive mode, but it was a bit annoying.
Is there something I'm missing? I can't seem to get this to work. I've got both Substratum and Andromeda installed. I run the script on my Windows PC to fire-up Andromeda, then it launches the Substratum app, but it shows me an overlay saying "The Andromeda desktop client needs to connect to your device to be able to function with Substratum". There's a "Check Status" button on that screen, and when I press it I get the green box telling me my connection status is good. Can't ever get into the Substratum app without that overlay screen. I'm also seeing a notification that there is a "delay with the andromeda backend- please relaunch Substratum", but relaunching just starts the cycle allover again.

It worked beautifully as stock but it's now broken after an upgrade to 8.1 unfortunately...
It worked great for me until I moved to the 8.1 DP which seems to have broken it. Theme Manager no longer exists in the "Display" section of the settings app and Subs/Andromeda says it "can't fall back to root mode" and something about "no other theme Manager installed"

Just go back to the bootloader and flash the latest 8.0 from the Google support page with Factory Images. Probably can remove the -w from flash-all so it doesn't wipe. No promises on wether that'll work to downgrade an API level without wiping. I'm not a dev so can't speak to that. But you'll definitely be able to downgrade. Also unenrolling your device might force 8.0 ota to be pushed to your phone.

Yep. Looks like you just need to unenroll and it'll push the stable as an OTA. Sounds like it'll wipe data though.

Most likely due to dropping an API level. Probably also means that removing -w in the flash script would end up in a red boot screen and unusable device. Worth a try though, you could be the data point we all want.

I have no apps crashing and no apps unable to start. Performance and battery are identical to Pie.

How best to backout of the AndroidQ beta2?
Installed but Android Auto is playing up so want to go back to v8
Can't mount system partition R/W on Marlin using TWRP 3.2.3-1 once updated to AQB2 (although I did a dirty update by removing the -w erase flag from the bat file before executing.) Guess I'll try nuking everything and rebuilding from scratch to see if the partitions will mount R/W to install Magisk...

As you can see in this screenshot, it's working just fine. You have to install the latest Magisk canary build. TWRP won't work to do some backups, but you can flash it fine.
Been running Q2 for a few days and is a great daily driver. As soon as Nova paid was installed I have no complaints
and battery life has been excellent. Coming from the Essential phone rooted this has been a pleasant surprise. For 180.00 new
unlocked on Sprint this is a good deal. I also prefer the 16x9 screen and camera.
So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,

So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,

I did a clean flash, and had the same issue with the internal storage. It was weird though because chrome couldnt see it either, and kept failing to get permission to store files. Doing another Wipe now to try and resolve it...

Please let us know if it works....I hardly ever use my hot spot, but it's nice to know I have it for emergencies!

Wasn't talking about hotspot specifically.... The issue with Chrome is still there, still not able to download anything, as it pops up that it needs permission, I hit continue...and nothing. It normally gives the permission request notification here, but it does not.

Right, I don't think I've tried to download anything with chrome, I want the permissions so I can edit the buildprop file.
Having just checked, I also cannot download anything using chrome, Opera doesn't seem to have a problem, though. I didn't check any other browsers

After clean flash, still having the same issue with the downloads. Going to Solidexplorer shows that the sdcard partition never created a Download folder. Chrome also is completely not working now, so definitely rolling back until it's resolved.
There seems to be no way to mount /system rw on Q/10 or am i missing the workaround somewhere?
I don't know how to mount /system rw, but you can use "MagiskHide Props Config" to change prop value.
I noticed this also and just factory reset my phone before seeing this about magisk. I'll try that when I get back up and running.
in twrp is shows you can't mount /system or /vendor
I thought I did something wrong when preserving root through the OTA with Magisk. Must be a new A10 thing??

yes, since Q beta 3, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/android-q-beta-3-wont-mount-rw-t3929443
editing build.prop is the first thing I do after root. I need tethering badly.
also cannot do a nandroid backup in twrp because of this.
I figured out if you are rooted with Magisk you can use the prop editor on the terminal. just type props and follow the menus

Hey, I know I'm extremely late to this but I just tried this and it's working for me so far. I used MagiskHide Props Config and a terminal window and I have tethering working again on my Pixel 2 XL. Thank you for your instructions!

Trying to do that right now, can't quite work it out. Did you select option #4--'add/edit custom props'? That doesn't seem to get where I wanna GO, which is adding a line to the default prop. None of the other options looks right

Mejud, Yes, I selected option # 4 and followed what was posted earlier and entered "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" in selection n- New custom prop. After that, I rebooted my Pixel 2 XL and was able to enable tethering again. I did it so fast that I didn't think of listing the missing steps I figured out on my own.

Finally got it--Apparently I'm either supposed to do it twice (after selecting 'new prop' ) else I'm supposed to hit enter, and THEN type in the line
Anyhow, it works now, thanks

Glad you got it up and working. Now I'm hoping this will continue to work after updating to December's update. By the way, would you know how to get Google Pay to work? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, never tried it
is the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true prop edit still working on April update? I've tried unsuccessfully with MagiskHideProps. Looks like I was able to add using terminal,but not hotspot. Looking a build.prop in file explorer doesn't show the edit?

It's still working for me, only now I'm running it on my Pixel 3 XL instead of the 2 XL. It was working with the March update and thankfully I didn't need to do anything when I updated to April.
Is it possible to get wifi calling enabled on the Verizon network in the USA with a Google unlocked pixel 2 xl?
I've not touched my phone since doing the Nov 2019 update, now I'm hesitant to

I understand. I get nervous about updating my Pixel 3 XL also but thankfully the forums have been a huge help.
My concern is not being able to keep the hotspot running, monumental nightmare for me

It's always a good practice to make a backup so, God forbid something goes wrong, you're good.
I want to edit the build.prop file and add the below two lines to enable me to add the APN settings on ROG 3 phone.
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
How can I do it?
While terminal solution seems good for tethering, it doesn't have
the option for a full fletched editing of the build.prop file.

AFAIK this does not apply to 12L beta 3
No, just A12
I have updated to this version. Retained root. No data wipe.
Keeping root is easy with Magisk
- uninstall with option "restore images"
- take update OTA
- install with option "install to inactive slot (after OTA)"
- Reboot using Magisk prompt
- Done
Updating now. Why do these updates take like an hour to install??

if you download and flash the full factory image with edited flash-all file to not wipe, it will install almost instantaneously.

It's been a source of contention lately and it never used to be this long. You can still work on the device while it's doing its thing but it's a pain for sure. I don't think installing the entire image is needed or even possible if you're not rooted, but an adb sideload of the OTA is much simpler and quicker. I've done both lately and haven't noticed any differences in device performance. I did the Feb update OTA and it took over an hour. January I did the sideload and it took about 8 minutes but offline the whole time. Pick your poison.

Reboot has to be the last step, and while in Magisk. You have lost root unfortunately

when I flashed this update manually, it did stuff that it normally doesnt do....for instance the messages said it was resizing partitions.....that generally takes a bit longer to do....I was rather surprised.

I used the Full file method but regardless if the full file repartition things, I am pretty sure the OTA did the same...

Mine didn't take an hour.
My .02, since I saw it resizing partitions, its obviously going to take longer on a "live" phone as in via OTA. It probably resized the second slot, moved stuff over, and then did the same on the first slot......I am just guessing a bit, but suspect that would be the method....
I think using the manual full file flash method, it took probably less than 10 minutes, but it always feels like an hour!

What does it mean :"take OTA update" here? I restored stock image and tried to update via system settings/system update but still getting "couldn't update"
