Hello,
You may ask in the Pixel Dust thread maybe? ?
Good luck..!

Ok, that would be more productive than posting here thanks.

[HOWTO] Enable USB debugging

To enable USB Debugging you need to go to Settings > About > Software Information > More > Build number - tap Build number 7 times to enable developer mode. After you get the window saying "developer mode has been enabled" go back to the main menu in Settings and under the System section you will have "Developer Options" added. In there you will have the ability to enable USB Debugging among other things.
Looking into developer options a little more there are a few interesting settings, such as the Background Process Limit under the Advanced section.

Thanks

damn. wanted to have some fun haha
keep trying. it probably took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 taps.
I was unable to access the Jelly Bean Easter Egg in the stock rom but Newts GPE rom has the Jelly Bean Easter Egg.
To Access Jelly Bean Event:
1. Go to Settings
2. Click About
3. Tap the "Android Version 4.2.2" bar 3 times, you will have to tap quickly or the event will not start.
4. At the screen with the single Giant Jelly Bean, tap the screen once to make the Jelly Bean a happy Jelly Bean and a long press will start the event
- [ROM]NOS 1.0.0 m7wlv Google Play Edition [JB 4.2.2 Stock ](8.24.2013) Optimized -
Enjoy tossing the Beans!

I got my Pixel 2 XL yesterday
Upgrade to my 1.Gerneration Pixel XL
This morning i got a OTA Update push (100MB) and I now have the Version
OPD2.170816.017
Normally I would see on the Firmware Page from Google the Previous and actuall files.
But, I am not seeing a OPD2 on the Google page, and the version 17 is also not appearing.
Anyone know what the Deal ist?
Was is a OPD1 or OPD2?
With my old Nexus Phone or Pixel I could pull the image and sideload it.
But right now, I have a little fear and have no idea which file ist correct.
The Website makes a Jump from 12 to the 25 Firmware....
Can anyone help me out?
It seems its not up to date yet. so just wait, at least when we arrive dec 17 patches it will be shown or integrated then.
OPD2.170816.015 is shown for Pixel 2, OPD2.170816.017 is not shown yet for Pixel 2 XL, maybe google will add it or you willst just receive an OTA in dec 17 with security patches.
There is no need for now to start flashing to a factory image unless your phone is broken (then i would flash the non-verizon build). No one will know why google is doing that, the device has been just released yet in germany.
. at least when we arrive dec 17 patches it will be shown or integrated then.

Your issue has been well documented. From what I've read, it seems to be much more prevalent when using the stock kernel (boot.img) I would try flashing a custom kernel..ie..Flash, Elemental X, or electron to name a few. Hopefully that will solve your problem :good:
Yep, custom kernel seems to resolve it... I'm using Flash's latest.

Flash and Ex have been my 2 favorites for a long time. Flash does a great job keeping it up to date with upstream changes, and Ex has been a solid performer for many years. Can't go wrong with either :good::good:

Yeah, no problem. When you flash your factory images, it will overwrite your system and return to stock kernel. Question, what do you mean by "that is all that's available for my device"? There are factory images for the P2XL on Google's site. Why not just upgrade to the January build?

Thanks Badger . that's what i figured , but wanted to be safe as ive read you can't revert back but i'm assuming that's to the 8.0 os builds. Yeah i was all over it looking for my device build to flash the jan build but it's only showing the dec build for mine on the developers google site 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.012, Dec 2017, Telus Only)

im pretty sure you can use the version (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018)
as you see, there isn't a Telus only build for every single release.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar will chime in and give you some assurance

Hi,
I am using Pixel2 and had same touch issue with TWRP and got a fix from other forum (Thanks to Google)
Before rebooting into recovery disable Ambient display in settings screen.
Settings -> Battery -> Ambient display >> Switch off Always On
Now try to reboot into TWRP and it should work.
If its still not working try with disabling all options under Ambient display option.
Thank You

Mi A2 Lite - Unable to perform system updates + missing settings

Hi there,
I recently received a Mi A2 Lite.
After setting it up for the first time, the sytem showed a notification saying "System update - Unable to install system update - Click here to know more".
No information is displayed when I click this notification.
I decided to try to search for an update manually. Unfortunately, I have to face a pretty uncommon problem. I do not have any "Check system update" menu.
I looked for it in Settings > System and in Settings > System > About the phone. Nothing. I even activated the Developers Tools settings to check if I could find it, with no results...
I am no developer and I am pretty unfamiliar with deep system modifications. However I have tried to follow many tutorials to try to flash and root the system in order to be able to install manually a newer Android version. No success so far...
FYI, there is also something I do not get, in the Developer tools settings, there is no OEM enable option...
Here are some info on the operating system :
- Android version : 8.1.0
- LineageOS API level : Ilama (9)
- Security patch update : December 5th 2018
- Provider security patch level : December 1st 2018
- Kernel Version : 3.18.131-Genom-AOSP-LA.UM.6.6.r1-10400-89xx.0+ (gcc version 4.9x 20150123 (prerelease) (GCC))
- Build date : Mon Dec 31 14:34:24 UTC 2018
- Build number : OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.6.0.ODLMIFF
Does anybody have an idea on what's the matter here ?
Many thanks in advance for your great help
Cheers;
One thing is confusing me, "lineageos API Level.."
Maybe you bought a used Phone and it's already modified so now you're on LOS 15.
You don't need much knowledge to get your Phone back to Stock Android One, follow this link to get all info/tools you need:

Greetings

Before you flash stock ROM on your device make sure you check that your device codename is "daisy". Daisy is the codename for Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite AndroidOne version. If you see "Sakura" somewhere in the about phone settings, this means you've bought a Redmi 6 Pro (MIUI version). Many people reported issues like this where they bought a second hand "Mi A2 Lite" but then their device turned out to be a Redmi 6 Pro that's been flashed with Lineage OS. If you flash the stock Mi A2 Lite ROM on a Redmi 6 Pro, you'll most likely brick the device and it will be very hard to recover.
If your phone is actually Mi A2 Lite, it will have androidone logo on the back cover, if yours have it then continue to flash the stock ROM for Mi A2 Lite. But if you're missing that logo, you should go over to the Redmi 6 Pro forum and flash the ROM of your choice from there. Cheers.
EDIT: If you need further help, don't hesitate to PM me.
@marstonpear @ohwarumbloss,
Thanks for your replies and your help guys.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any solution so far.
The phone does have the AndroidOne logo on its back cover, but I couldn't find any "daisy" mention in the "About the phone" information menu. Neither I found any "Sakura" mention, so I guess this is a normal AndroidOne version.
I have faced some problems while flashing the stock ROM with an error message from MiFlashTools claiming there was a missmatch between the device and the ROM.
I have decided to launch a final nuclear attack against the seller and they accepted to refund me. I'm pretty happy I will no longer have to deal with this mess.
Many thanks for your replies guys. I hope I'll be the only one facing this wierd update problem.
Oh well, glad you got rid of it
I figured I'd ask in here rather than open new thread. Where would I find stock update .zip files for this device already installed TWRP.

I believe you can't. Stock updates can't be installed through TWRP. But one user had made a package for stock ROM himself, so you can grab that package if you can find it in the forum. I'm not sure where you can find it, but someone made a flashable zip for TWRP. Check the Telegram groups and the forum please. Cheers.
Same here

Hey, same issue here. My dad bought the same model and it keeps warning about this impossible updates. I don' have any nuclear weapon, so I'm planning to threaten the seller to get the money back.

Checking for the software update
[Please check your device to see if you already have the latest software installed. Verify your Build number matches the official build by checking Settings -> About phone -> Build number. See section below]
After you complete the phone setup, the software update automatically downloads silently in the background. After the download completes, it will prompt you to reboot the phone. In case the software update is not seen, follow the instructions below:
Go to Settings -> System -> System update -> Check for update
Install the software update
Depending on your network connection speed and amount of apps involved, this will take about 25-50 minutes
Reboot the device after taking the update
Updating your apps
Many of the key apps have new features and improvements for Pixel 6. Please check to make sure that your apps are up to date by going to Play Store -> Your Account Icon -> Manage apps & device -> Update all.
Timing
Due to deployment timelines and staged rollouts, some updates may not be available until 10/28.
Software update Build number
After the software update, your device software version (Settings -> About phone -> Build number) will be be one of the following:
SD1A.210817.036

My P6 Pro still can't find the update
Supposedly the update should fix my fingerprint reading issues, so I'm sorta stoked to see that one comin' rather sooner than late.
Any way to force it? Stil no factory images/OTA, so I'm out of options.
No update here yet either (Google Store Unlocked on the Verizon network).

Does it really fix fingerprint issues? do we have the changelog?
No changelog yet that I am aware of, only reports of people claiming that after the update you have to re-learn the fingerprint scanner and then it supposedly works better.
thx, could be just feeling
