Installing PixelExperience Plus from CalyxOS - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello PixelExperience Folks,
Q: I have a Google Pixel 2XL running CalyxOS and thought I'd like to try installing the PixelExperience Plus. I believe the CalyxOS is the Android 11 version. Will this be a problem for me?
I only ask because I've watched some YouTube installation how-to videos that mentioned wanting to start with a mobile running Android 10 for best results.
What kind of guidance are you able to offer me, please?
Thank you in advance. All the very best!

Generally its best to flash stock first before custom ROM's when jumping major versions 9->10, 10->11 in case of partition changes etc
I have no idea what base CalyxOs uses - i had to google it has never heard of it before now...but looks like its probably just another LineageOS derived "we hate google (but we still bits of it)" microg mashup thing....don't ask me why people feel the need to make their lives harder (sorry, getting OT)
You can always try just following the steps in the PixelExperience thread, but id do that after id backed up anything on the sdcard beforehand and no warranty from me
Worst that can happen is you have to flash stock and start over...easiest way to flash stock is here:
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Find your device and hit the flash button (Chrome/Edge browser recommended)
If you want to be certain, and 1005 safe, backup what you love on sdcard, and then go stock first....

GSI

I just recently know about GSI (Generic System Name). So, I'm wandering if Google drop support for Pixel device, we still can have stock android via GSI right? And why didn't ROM developer just resolve to use this method? I am a dumbass, please educate me!

because gsis are ****, use roms that are actually tailored for your device, not hard to flash
@aL_09
Start going in these telegram groups that are linked in some of the ops where our roms are. Google search "Marlin afh" and check out what's out there. There are still a few people building for Marlin. And we have LOS17 and Pixel Dust 10 that are active and some bad ass pie roms that aren't that old... You can use GSIs. I've flashed a few but all the ones I've tried seem to have issues with ril and have SIM card unavailable and no data and I haven't found a work around yet. But I just started crackflashing GSI's on this device.. If and when I find some solid ones I'll shoot you a message. But download telegram app and subscribe to the devs on our rom sections groups and look around from time to time. You'll find some good stuff!

Hey there!
Because Android 11 Beta 1 was released yesterday there are new GSI builds available. The OG Pixel XL is supposed to support GSIs. Can you explain me how I flash that onto my old Marlin (Pixel XL) device?

You should be able to find the information that you're looking for here https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases#android-gsi-11
If I were you I'd wait. While there's no guarantee I'm pretty sure android 11 roms will be available at some point made for the XL. The Pixel XL is an A/B partition device. Just always make a backup and transfer it on to a thumb drive or your computer before you start installing anything and always have your factory image handy and know how to use fastboot and adb so you can recover if something goes wrong. This whole Android thing is all about reading and searching. Just installing things without knowing what's really going on and how to recover is risky and I would not suggest it.

I actually checked out that thread already. I followed the link what to do when the partition size isn't big enough initially. But it didn't work for me. So I guess you're right. I shouldn't flash the GSI and instead wait for Android 11 builds for Marlin. <3
Gsi don't boot on marlin
Also marlin not caf devices either
Join lunarixus chat on telegram and few build for marlin,sailfish,taimen

Use debloated miui 11. Good roms are MIUI eu 11.0.11 and MiuiMix 11.0.11 (favorite). It's okay with stock kernel but I use agni kernel. Here's a page with many resources for curtana in one place but be careful before installing anything you haven't seen anyone using.
Curtana Premium
Almost forgot... You can use gcam for slightly more detailed photos than miui camera. There are numerous versions. Check out curtana photography in telegram. Personally I only use gcam for raw images. But for quick shots that you won't be doing pixel peeping on, stock camera is enough.
Hello ftriends, I'm a little confused, are all the ROMs on CurtanaGang valid for the international, European version of the phone? I am very interested in this. I have a new Redmi Note 9 pro bought in Romania. Thanks

That website is not known to a lot of people. Roms made for miatoll will work on your phone. Be careful to NEVER install a rom that's made for curtana only.
The roms listed usually have a support or discussion page linked so look for it. Information in the changelogs can also help you decide. Just make sure that you confirm a rom will work on your phone. The installation guide or the rom thread will usually tell which phone the rom is made for. Look for it and post questions there if possible.
Oh! You said you have a new phone... Don't do anything regarding flashing ROMs before you unlock the bootloader.

Thank you @twistyplain for your detailed answer, I understood. For now my big-big problem is unlocking bootloader... I'm trying hard for three weeks without any result...everytime it saying "wait for 168 hours..." I know I must not sign out from Mi account, don't reset phone...etc... but nothing, same 168 hours to wait... I don't know what to do anymore... any advice is welcome! Thank you.

Thanks again @twistyplain, I know all these steps to unlock ... it doesn't work unlocked. My phone came with MIUI-11 but it was updated to MIUI-12. Probably because the SIM card is not activated on their server (server error ... etc) and is not activated after restart, reset (three times!). Maybe it will work with another SIM card...I'll try it...

I think that's the problem. You must make sure that the sim card to be activated is able to send an international SMS (Mandatory) and it should (maybe) be the active data sim. When you try to activate it make sure you're using mobile data using that Sim card to be safe. Also, try to activate it without another Sim installed.
My primary Sim card activated properly the first time but Sim 2 has never successfully activated. Every time I reboot it tries to activate Sim 2 but always fails. I just wait for it to fail and clear the error message because it affects nothing.

Hi there, so where can i found those?
I'm on the same train, i'm searching a debloated firmware for my new 9 pro.
From what i gather through forums and posts is that the Havoc-OS is the custom firmware+official with the less issues, unless those you mention are better.
I searched both rom subforums but i can't find them.
The closest i find is this which for some weird reason doesn't have as many posts as one could expect Lol

I'm not involved in MiuiMiX team nor its development. I only love and would like to share this fantastic work. Hope you enjoy it. * Your warranty is... still valid? * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear...

Havoc is AOSP meaning it is based on vanilla Android (not miui). It has a large thread on xda so you can browse that to know about the rom. Official means that it's the one recognized by havoc os developers -- not that it's in any way affiliated with xiaomi. The AOSP rom that most people agree is better than most is Evolution X. However, better than other AOSP roms doesn't mean it's better than miui based ROMs. I always use roms based on stock hence the reason i recommend them. They're generally more stable and require much less effort to get going.
Regarding the source of MiuiMix, you can follow the telegram link in the thread you just posted just under "We follow also other devices, you can know more and update in our telegram channel". I won't repost the link because I'm not sure it's even allowed. When you get there search for your device codename. For instance mine is curtana so i just type #curtana in the search box snd i see a list of the roms released for my device.
Miui eu has a dedicated website so look for it.

Thank you for all the info!
Yeah, i think i will go the same root and use MiuiMix which is a stock based rom, that's why i asked where did you get the ones with miui 11 since i can't find them on sourceforge.(there is only a curtana 11.0.9)
I think i made up my mind and since i have joyeuse i will go with the MiuiMix miui 12 pointed in the thread linked above.

Good choice. Im using it right now. It seems to be a nice rom. Better than eu in ram management. Dark theme has some bugs but I don't use it because it has no energy saving for ips display.

I upgraded to MiuiMix 12.0.2 and it's been perfect for almost three weeks now. I don't use dark mode because it's the only bug i know to exist with this rom. And I can't blame the MiuiMix devs because it's a xiaomi fault.

Sorry boys. I was working on it but I saw Jaguar Rom and decided that was about as good as it was gonna get. I own a company and it would have taken me an eternity to do it on my own with what little free time I have to dedicate to it. Jaguar does a fantastic job of keeping your data safe. Just download the vanilla version without Google crap. Install Aurora store if you need to restore any apps you got from Google. I've been using it as my DD now for a few months and I have to say, it's legit. I'm not gonna list my credentials or anything as most people on XDA know me by now, but I would say that if you think I'm wrong, please download the rom and try to find a problem that Graphene would fix. Hell they even let you relock your bootloader on Jaguar. The phone can die and your alarm will still go off if there is enough battery to start it and sound the alarm. The dev ( @optimumpro ) is super cool and was very helpful with some of the things I needed help de-goggle-fying. I highly recommend it. I'm sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. I will be asking for the thread to be closed now as I have no intentions on developing this rom as I feel it's redundant.

Where to download Jaguar for 7T?
Another rom similar to grapheneos available for op7t is divestos.org which is based on lineageos but implements several privacy and security measures and allows you to re-lock the bootloader
Agree about Divest OS, but since OP discussed Jaguar rom which is brand new, I wanted more details about Jaguar

I am the developer for Jaguar rom. Unfortunately, it is not available for Oneplus 7 series, although, I can build one for 7s, if there is sufficient interest.
Also, Jaguar for Oneplus 5, 6 , 8s and 9s has been available for many years and certainly long before DivestOS and GrapheneOS ever appeared. Just look at my profile: you don't get 14700+ 'thank yous' in a year or two. (not bragging, but rather stating the fact).
Sure, OP was discussing Jaguar of op7t which doesn't exist. That's why I was asking about it. Besides e OS, LOS18 with microg, DivestOS (fork of LOS19), yaap vanilla, flamingo vanilla, op7t does not have any other degoogled rom

I have built a trial version of Jaguar for Oneplus 7T. Please test it, since my phone is Oneplus 8.
OOS-11 (not 12) is required in both slots. Installation is the same as Lineage. Don't forget factory reset before the first boot.
Rom: Here
Recovery: Here
Kernel Source: Here
May or may not boot, but even if you boot, submit a logcat (let it run for a few minutes).

Hi, thanks for sharing. As part of the XDA rules and GPLv2 requirement, could you please also post your kernel sourcel link? All ROMs posted on XDA must have the kernel source code available. Thank you.

GSI roms with spoofing?

I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to post this..
I recently got a Ulefone power armor 13 that I've been trying to to de-google, I've avoided smartphones for a long time due to concerns about tracking ect but I decided to take the plunge after seeing articles online about privacy focused google android alternatives.
The one I've really been trying to get to run is CalyxOS, I know it only officially supports a limited number of smartphones but there are some unofficial GSI ROMs of it. I really liked the idea of being able run both open source apps and google apps with spoofing, I know I said that I was trying to degoogle this phone but the simple fact is there are a few google apps I'd like to run if I can avoid the tracking.
Unfortunately I've only had dead ends and headache trying to to get them to install but I have had some luck getting AOSP GSI to install so I'd like to try something new.
Can anyone recommend a GSI rom that has either microg or some other way of spoofing google? Or alternatively a way of adding it to a AOSP GSI rom?
Many thanks for your time.
What do you mean by "spoofing Google"?
Spoofing may have been the wrong term to use, what I meant by "spoofing Google" was some means of allowing google apps run without my data getting back to them.

From what I've read online microg does this by somehow creating a fake ID for the device. Now my laypersons understanding may have have got this wrong if I have I would appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of some reliable info?
If I understood everything correctly this would need to be used along side the Aurora store or a similar app store to get the full benefit of it.
Maybe a better way to phrase my request would have been are there any GSI roms that do the same thing as CalyxOS or is it possable to get something similar with a stock AOSP GSI image and adding microg to it myself?

I'm not sure if you had any luck or not. I thought I would follow up to this. I don't know why there's not much posting info on GSI ROM's. From what I've found there are ROM's available for what you are looking for. I did find some degoogled GSI ROM's even with or without microG preinstalled. If you need a list of some, I can provide you. I'm not sure they will work, but it is sometimes a trial and error. For the phone you listed you should be able to get some to work though.
Hi defcondoc
Thanks for taking th time to reach out to me, I currently have the phone running an Arrowos GSI ROM from the phhutson ROM list and so far its been ok for me though I would be REALLY happy to have list of other possible ROMS to play/tinker with. Afterall you never know what you might find unless you try new things.
If you have the time send me the list you have I would be really greatfull, I don't mind if they don'e have microg preinstalled at this point so long as its clearly marked that its not prinstalled.
Thanks again.

Looking for some help on how to root my OnePlus 7T

Hi, so I recently got a pre-owned OnePlus 7T (Android version 12) and looking to root it. Not looking to do anythig mega fancy with it, basically spoof pokemon go.
I have never had a samsung before so I know none of the lingo (roms, roots, apks, flash etc). I've tried watching videos but a lot of people specifically mention 7T Pro or don't specifically mention Android version 12, which I'm guessing if it's like iOS then the version is important.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to root the phone to do what I want to do with it. I've got as far as developer mode with it. I have a windows PC handy if that helps too?
Thanks
Is it so hard to search?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-android-11-how-to-root-oneplus-7t.4253183/
Extract boot from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-7t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3997037/
This is XDA.
So members are expected to be proactive.
Hi, thanks for the response!
The first link says android 11, not 12, so like I had mentioned, I have no idea how it works with androids and whether the two are interchangeable.
The second link doesn't mention any android version and I can't see a mention of android 12 in the comments, thus I wouldn't have followed through with the guide as I can't clearly see it will work for OnePlus 7T Android 12.
So, having searched the site which I'm not used to, and having asked in discords and only being told to go ask here, I did what I was told and went and asked here. I apologise for how repetitive the question may be, but I'm just hoping some kind soul will have a little pitty and put me on the right path.
1.Guide is the same for Android 12
2.
E.g.
HD1903_11_F.17 (delivered to OOS 11 users): HD1903_11.F.17_3170_202210120443
MD5: c0efb9eacc32eac171fccd6cd306ecaa
is Android 12 for Europe
So all the last entries are A12.
Or download with Oxygen Updater App
Use this for extraction of the boot.img

Hi again,
I've taken what you said and reflashed the phone and upgraded to OOS 11.0.9.1 (latest available).
The links you sent are super useful now I know they work for any version, though following it broke my phone last night (my fault), likely during the patched_boot.img stage as the lingo started confusing me.
Does the below youtube offer an alternative method to root the phone? I've found the software build for 11.0.9.1 and hoping if that guide works then I'll follow that and ideally not need to bother you more
It's not an alternative, it's the same only as a video
However, better use the payload-gui.exe for extracting the payload bin.
Much easier.
Good luck
