[Q] Custom rom already rooted - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I'm running a custom rom but cannot get magisk to work. I've done everything discussed in that rom's thread to get root but no success.
Does anyone know of a custom rom for the 2 XL that installs with magisk or SuperSU included?

Just to get more info, after flashing the rom and twrp zip, you boot into the os at least once before going back and flashing Magisk right?

lineage rom could be rooted natively. you doesn't need to install magisk to obtain root

[Q] Help With Custom Kernels.

I've installed custom Kernels many times before, but always on Aosp based ROMs that doesn't have SuperSu or any similar software, but when it comes to TW based ROMs I couldn't manage to flash any custom kernel on any TW based ROMs as they come with SuperSu by deafult, so when I go into recovery and install the kernel zip. file, it shows an error with SuperSu binary and phone get bricked, so I have to flash the stock firmware, in order to fix the device, this happened with me multiple times with different kernels, so I was thinking could I use the stock firmware and, root without automatically installing SuperSu, install the kernel then afterwards download Supersu from the store?
There is a superuser update binary zip you can flash through recovery. If you are rooted then you need superuser. I think you have to be rooted to install a custom kernel

[Q] Question about root and recovery

I am currently running the Hyperdrive Rom. It has been a while since i flashed it. I seem to remember that I did not root my phone because the rom had root priv. I only installed the custom recovery. I would like to switch over the AOKP rom but I am not sure if I need to root first or if the rom has root. and also, if I do root will I then have to install a recovery again after. would also appreciate any advise on which root method is best. thanks for any help.
Check the change log for the rom and compatibility with your current Android firmware version. Most of the time after you root you'll be asked if you want custom recovery.
