[ROM TESTING] CortexROM for the P2XL [NEED TESTERS] - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

I will only be selecting a couple people for this. I have to have my phone working during the day because it's my lifeline for my job. So I can't have it down trying to test ROM builds and whatnot. If you'd like to help me test my new setup, let me know, and I'll PM you with details.
I don't want people that just flash it, say it doesnt work, and wait for another build. I need people that can help actually diagnose what's causing the issues as well. This is for the Google version, obviously not the Verizon version.

I have a few days to mess around. PM me if you still need anyone.

Same here!

Hey wassup Chevy, been a minute since the good old Nexus 6P days, look forward to see your magic on this Pixel XL 2. I wish I had extra phone to play with for you. Good Luck

I know it's been a while, and I kind of miss doing this. I love the P2XL, a lot more than my old PXL. I'll see what I can come up with.

Still looking for victims? I'm happy to participate.

More than happy to help as well!

Donate to Haykuro!!!

Hey, it just occurred to me that if everyone who CAN donates $20.00 to Haykuro, he will have himself a nice little fund starting up. If you can donate more, do so. This kid deserves our REAL thanks for all of this work. Lets pony up guys.
17 years old and kicking open source ass... he deserves to be rewarded.
EDIT: Find the link to donate on his iphoneproject.com page.
I'll surely give some $$$ if he can quickly fix market issue
by the way, your URL is invalid for paypal.
I donated a while back!
I donated a while back as well. What bugs me is that we have so many other people working on this like Daproy and Korndub and they get no $$$ or recognition for the most part. I say that Haykuro needs to set up a fund and split moneys received between people who contributed to this. None less, he is a genious.
I've had the same concerns as you.
I think Darkrift worked on this as well. Probably when the builds are pretty much complete, someone should put a list of everyone who contributed so we can send them all something as well.
I had some ppl offer donations but I have not worked on this nearly as much as you guys think. What I have done was my way of donating to him since I am poor and cannot do so with paypal. I tried to beta test when I could, write up tuts, answer questions and much the same as everyone else in the thread did. I do not know the extent of the others who are helping so I cannot say the same for them, but I personally have not been working hard enough on this to deserve donations (unless you wanna send me a free G1, I will take that )
If you feel the need to donate to me, send it here https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4290101
Everyone has been very generous and caring, and I thank you all for that.
This post will give credit where it's due, and let everyone know what's up (clear some confusion).
History of the builds:
1. xmoo and his anonymous source post up a leak of the system folder from a developer magic (or something similar).
2. Everyone on XDA was going crazy, of course, and I tried to explain how to get it to boot properly, and no one listened, so I took it into my own hands to release a functional version.
3. After some talking with barakinflorida, he gave me the idea of implementing aHome into the build that way we had a home screen (at the time, no home screen was available as aCore crashed when you tried opening it).
4. After a week of running it, i noticed a OTA update being pushed (noticed it in logcat) i pulled it and released build 4.
5. I noticed the SPL and posted that, with the proper changes in update-script for the dream. Same thing with the radio.
6. korndub noted that my update-script for the radio was messed up and simply stripped down the update-script (not sure if you guys remember the recovery errors on my radio update, as opposed to korndubs stripped radio update).
5. A week later I got some info from darkrift which led to build 4.5.
6. After some personal tinkering i got google apps from 4.5 ported to build 4, and called it 4.9.
7. 5.0 was then released after daproy noted the camera and audio fix in the master branches of the kernel. he also kindly donated a pre-compiled kernel, saving everyone time from waiting for me to find a linux comp i could compile on.
8. Since then me and daproy have worked together to bring you the next builds. daproy provides me with the kernels, and i do everything else.
I think in the end, the people who would deserve donations would be up to you.
But this is the history of how it all came to be
I would prefer it were told like this (much more heroic):
5.5 Darkrift daringly put the life of his precious G1 on the line to test out various beta builds that haykuro made in a half asleep state. Fending away fire and deadly battery pulls, he made sure everyone who flashes one of those roms would still have a working G1.

lol oh yea, that too.. well, as you said. i was half asleep through most of that
Excuse me for being a NoOb, but here goes....
.... Is it possible to send my girlfriend through paypal? If so where can I find a "how-to"? It is very well deserved.
If she is hot, just send pics :S
Just donated $20 to the man ............. hope others follow and donate.
Keep up the good work man!
I donated a decent amount to hay and never even got a thank you. I will not donate again to him. The least he could have done was sent a thank you...
I'm gonna go ahead and give a big thanks to Haykuro/Darkrift since trying to install a2sd for the first time by following Darkrift's instructions led me to write my original tutorial(how passe that tutorial of mine seems now..), and subsequently my appstosd app, which led to the unionfs method and appstosd2. Of course other people helped along the way(TheDudeofLife, MartinFick, JF) but it was really Haykuro and Darkrift that got me going.
In short: you can partially thank both of them for having unionfs(somewhat ironic considering it was Haykuro's ROMs that never implemented it (j/k man, I think I had enough trouble trying to debug my script with TheDude's ROM))
EDIT: Upon rereading I realized that this could be taken as somewhat backhanded. I didn't mean that Darkrifts instructions were so bad I had to write my own. He intentionally(I now fully understand why) left out some parts of the process and I thought I'd take up the torch and try to have the whole thing in a way I saw as a little bit safer(or at least less scary).

I only started this thread because I know that this kid is 17 and still working on getting his HS diploma, also holding down a job AND working on these roms. Even after he was burned by someone on the forums, he came back when it was ready and gave us Hero (with a NEW Rosie smell)... He continues to put out roms for us and now the canucks with the Rogers rom. I also just saw that there's a Hero rom he just put out for those running Magic/Sapphire devices. The kid continues to work hard on this stuff and I think he deserves to be rewarded. No matter who was helping him get stuff to make the builds lets remember WHO brought the first cupcake to the masses... Now he's brought us a GOOD (not great yet, but it'll get there) version of a rom that we aren't even supposed to have ACCESS to!!! I, for one, think that this guy should get together with JF and Dude and whoever else and start a consortium and start getting paid to develop for Android. This is the OS of the future (for now) and there is some serious need for dedicated programmers who can make it all work... I think he is more on top of it than anyone out there...
That's what made me post this... I have donated a couple of times to the kid, and I'm not done. It's not to pay him for his product, but to thank him for working his butt off on something that he doesn't have to and then giving it away to the masses (again, he doesn't have to)....
So again, Thanks Haykuro and I hope your situation changes soon... Keep up the coding man....

No necessarily... I was actually just trying to explain why I singled him out for donations. I don't know him personally, have never seen the kids face... All I know is that he's been dedicated to making the device better, and sharing it with all of us, all the while going to school and work, dealing with everything that comes with being 17! I noticed some posts that mentioned all who helped him, and that's fine. This is about helping a kid who really needs the help. Who knows, Steve may be the next Gates or Jobs!!!

that's a permission issue most likely, run the "auto lucid" .bat program on these forums and it can restore the permision to apps2sd folders

Only if someone tries to make it ugly! And for the record, I'm no-one's fanboy. Let's look at it this way... In a community, those who have the means help those who need and deserve the help. Haykuro is in the latter group and a lot of us are in the former group. Would you have a thread closed based on the fact that you don't agree with the material? Does that sound like the way things are done on this board? If it is, I'm out!

[PREVIEW][ROM][GB 2.3.8] CyanMobile [GB/ICS/JB MERGE]

*** Rom taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277764 ***
*** Base rom CM7.2.0 RC0 by hPA ***
I'm post here because the rom not finished yet, beside that, there's a chance @jlmancuso (I hope) willing to make a thread in development section.
Rom running well and stable enough on ds, but still have few bugs that cannot solved by myself.
So far, there are 2 main problems
1) Main settings and Cyan settings not show up, only blank screen. Logcat attached

2) Wifi and wifi tether error (this is because libhardware_legacy.so and libandroid_runtime.so)
Need help from other forum members, or somebody willing to compile it from the source. (sources link can be found from original thread link above).
I'll give a hand with research.
My ROM will be based of source but it is still a few weeks away as my computer parts are slowly trickling in and I need to update the S7 roms.
Look at the manifest of the settings

Hello there Streakers!!! This will be one of the greatest roms yall will ever run. I have been working on the Evo 4g version (Evo 3d, and Evo shift also in works) and it has been a huge hit. I have been very busy with those three and have not had a chance yet to give the streak a shot on compiling. I hope to have a few free hours this week to try and make a couple of builds for yall to test.
This is a beast of a rom and unfortunately the heart of it is not working in this port. The settings (main and CyanMobile) give you the ability to customize this rom in ways that no other rom before it has been able to do. It can look like a simple vanilla GB Aosp rom, a highly modified Jb Aokp style rom, or any combination in between. These are not themes that you and in to get a look but actual changes in the framework and UI. Well enough pumping yall up for now time to get back in my kitchen and finish cooking up goodies.
I suggest yall take the time and check out my thread in the Dev section that is posted in the Op and also I am working on a thread in the general section to aid users in finding their way in the settings of this beast. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=2305750 It is a bit empty right now because I have been busy on a new kernel along with knocking out the last of the bugs in this things. Although I have 5 reserved post so you can bet it will be something big.
Time to run guys. Hopefully next time I drop by here I will have yall a couple of links to try out. Just remember that this will be a blind build. I do not own a streak myself but then again I dont own an evo shift and I was still able to make a simi-functional rom for them also. So keep your fingers crossed and we might just get lucky.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness

Welcome aboard buddy, thank you willing to join us in ds development.
Really glad to know you will compile this rom for ds.
This rom really beast, so many customize features in it.
Can't wait to test it on my ds.
Once again, thank you buddy.

Do we have any progress?
Looking foward to it, thanks for this
Alright guys I am ready to start work on yalls rom. First off I have some of the source needed to make this but I am missing a few pieces. I will be looking through the development section tonight and trying to get the rest of what I need to start this project. If there are any dev's for the streak willing to team up on this I would be more than willing to make this a group project.
As yall already know ports are a very poor way (most times) to bring a rom to a new device. Porting brings more problems than anything else. With source things just work better the first time around. I have the source pretty much cleaned up and fixed just about every problem there was with the Og Evo. Now it is time to get this bad boy onto the Streak 5!!
Just for a preview of thing you can do with this rom come checkout the CyanMobile Map in my thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305750
Now onto the fun. Anyone who has done any source work with the Streak please hit me up on talk/hangouts ([email protected]).

Well thank you. The big thing I need right now are the proprietary files for the streak. I have been told that the streak is very similar to the evo 4g but without the actual files I am kind of stuck in the mud. I am downloading the cm7 roms posted in hopes that I can extract the needed files. So wish me luck cause the streak has almost no aftermarket support. It looks like a nice device but few have done much with it. I hope I can help out but only time will tell.

Alright got all the files lined out and started the compiler. Hope to have the first batch of testers out end of this week or beginning of next! Some of the code has to be tweaked for the streak but not much

[Q] Beta-testers needed.

Hi guys,
I am trying to develop ROMs for Android. And I have developed one. This ROM is based on the stock HTC One ROM. Getting straight to the point, I need some Beta-Testers as I don't have the device with me. Sure, I'm gonna buy it soon. But in the meantime, I don't want to waste my precious time. SO< ANYONE INTERESTED? :highfive:
Thanks in advance.
Blind builds like what you did are not encouraged because it magnifies the chances of things to go wrong since you can't test the ROM yourself. Just a not of caution

yea. I know it is a blind build, but I didn't really do any huge modifications. Just some changes here and there. I have the build ready with me. I just need a guy to tell me surely that this build is safe to work upon further. That's because I am gonna resort to android development in future.
Short of sounding like a D-bag, what you're asking for is a little ridiculous. You sound like you're new to developing, new to the boards (Welcome btw) and don't have the device yourself. Its like asking a random person to test drive a car you just built by reading a "Build-it-yourself Car". If you had more credibility, i.e. More posts, past work, past examples of ROMs or even a list of what was "modified" in this ROM, people might step up to help.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere, even just doing this is good practice for him.
I'd test for ya op but I rely heavily on this phone and I'm s off. I'd advise any testers to be s on just to be extra safe

I do agree you have to start somewhere. But he should get his own device and test it himself. That is better than just creating something that you don't even know it works.
Some "experienced" developers sometimes don't even own the device to create a custom ROM. But the key is that they are already experienced and would know how things work. But for someone who is starting out and have very little experience, they are better off doing the tesing themselves.
I bet he is not really a dev but more like a zip dev if you know what I mean.
OP.. please understand. Your new here, you have no proven track record, your asking people to entrust a €600 device to something that you have 1. not clearly laid out in your opening post 2. have no means to test yourself 3. can not provide support if you feck up other peoples devices.
Sorry but without any past experience here your trust level is 0.
Your request is akin to a nigerian ringing me and telling me I've won a multi-million € win and all they need is my bank account, and credit card info....
At least stick around here, get the device yourself, build up your reputation, and try a few things yourself and then clearly lay out what you have done in any further thread requesting testers because blind faith only goes so far......... unless you are indeed Jesus (or a nigerian with my mulit-million pound win)...
Wow.. so we can't waste his precious time. Lol

Hey hey hey! Please don't classify me as a ZIP dev..!
N yeah. Here's the change-log of my ROM(though it's not much):
1. Rooted
2. Busy-box added.
3. Changed the boot-animation a bit.
4. changed the power down animation a bit.
And' thats all.

I think everyone has to start somewhere, but I think the people are looking at stuff like what did you change in functionality not just cosmetics. Try playing around with build prop and stuff

Yeah, sure. I would work on this ROM further. But somebody has to test this adolescent ROM first, because it could happen that I work upon this ROM without testing it and then it would happen that it won't work. And then I could have to roll-back, only to start from scratch.
And that is why I'm asking you guys to test this out. I guarantee regular updates, fixes, etc.

Note 5 Nethunter Supported Kernel

Hi guys,
I just wanted to start a thread to try and get a kernel compatible with Nethunter. I feel there's a few users that would really use this and I'm one of them.
I would like to start with saying that I would donate if someone could get this off the ground, and anyone who joins this should donate also. I'd assume it would be quite a task so I understand the effort required.
Anyone has any comments or ideas, please post and we might be able to get this going!
Thanks guys!

Also interested
i can help ya . havent been on xda in ages since nope hopes with s8-9 no roots. Never checked and saw if anyone else made one a kernel after i built one for note 5 . Let me know if you need one built

Now what?

Considering that our project that shall not be mentioned was successful, I was wondering about what can be expected in terms of custom roms for this device. I don't know if ASUS released decent sources for the Ze533KL, so can we expect an eventual daily driver release or shall we expect more experimental builds? Of course I'm not asking for ETA, just wondering about what can actually be achieved for this phone.
The thing I really wanted to have with this phone is some kind of burn-in protection (which is implemented in LOS as far as I know). My phone is still under warranty, and I can already see marks of the keyboard and other icons when displaying a white image.
Since the actual thread was closed, maybe this one could be used as a bulletin board for any new unfoldings.
Cheers.
sure thing, I also thought about creating new thread where we can inform each other about our initiative. I believe that McFy is waiting for his unit to arrive. Then there will be LOS hopefully. I'm rooting for him
As far as Lineage OS features I think it is OK to ask a question here and wait for some research and answer about it.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
"Now what?" is a fantastic name for the thread.
Exactly my feeling.
Ironicaly, XDA killed the iniatitive on the day it reached its goal. So, there was no reason at all to do what was done.
About a custom ROM for the device, I have no preferences. Whatever suits the developer is good for me as long as the final product is stable and runs well.
hello everyone,
I bought the device and got it today, I downloaded stock rom, kernel sources and flashed twrp on it, I did a first build for this device but it didn't boot. Don't ask any ETA as I will not be able to tell the amount of work until I get something working. I will share with you the progress but can't give any date.
Regards and thanks for the support
bro pls give an unofficial process to unlock this device because official unlock tool not working it shows "unknown network error".
@McFy any news?
please share a working process of unlock bootloader without asus unlock tool apk....i m waiting for 3 years

Not asking for an ETA but noticed this is your last post on XDA - everything ok?

Nando, I don't have a Telegram account, but if someone starts building and need testers I would gladly volunteer. Just let me know here either on this topic or via pm.

I'll be honest - I don't know what any of that says and for the next ten days I'm stuck on mobile (vacation!!) so if you could translate that would be great.

Basically, a dev named Erik will try to contact Mcfly so that they both could work on porting the official Zenfone 3 Lineage to Zenfone 3 Zoom.

Thank you for that.
?
Oh well, don't wanna jump the gun here, but it seems like the dude took the money and spent on something else, or he's been really busy since then, as he no longer even commented on any xda posts.
In any case, It's a shame. Now we know why XDA doesn't allow group funding for this kind of thing. Not asking for eta is something, but you can't volunteer to develop for a device, take the money and disappear and expect people not to distrust you.
My advice for all others that contributed would be to next time buy a phone with a greater dev community, and never donate if there's no ongoing project.
Really hope I'm wrong here, please @McFy, show up and prove me wrong.

I don't think you're jumping the gun - it's almost three months since @McFy last posted to us that he obtained the phone and even his github project named "android_device_asus_zenfone3_zoom" (which I presume this was for) doesn't appear to have any work done on/to it whatsoever - I don't think it's unreasonable to have gotten some kind of status update within that time, even if it's negative.
Without knowing what happened for certain I will unfortunately have to think the obvious.
Hey guys sorry for not updating you, I don’t want to tell my private life but my gf have health problems and it made me busy driving her/ spend time with her, I definitely didn’t forget you and am in touch with the project, I achieved to boot but lot of stuffs are broken; zenfone 3 have now new trees since it is now official and I am working on it; I went in touch with the dev. Fyi I did buy the device for real as I said, I am someone you can trust and in the case the situation of my gf isn’t getting better I will give that phone to another developer at my fees; I also want to mention It’s not on my habit to share wip builds or push trees change until it’s not on a state I judge nice enough.
Best regards and I hope you will understand. I totally apologize but I went inactive in all dev scene I am on and it’s hard for me as well to come back like this..
If you have any questions I can answer them if they are not personals.
I sincerely hope that you guys won’t get mad at me.

First off, I am sorry to hear of your gf's health problems - and I truly mean that. I hope that she recovers and you don't need to tell us any more information because that is personal.
Next - the heads-up is absolutely appreciated. Thank you! I do hope you can also see from our point of view how it was looking to us and understand that we were getting puzzled. Now we know why.
Thank you again.

That’s me who owe you that and more.
Yes I ofc can see from your point of view and that’s why I went back on the forums, I got emails and more so I realized I got the phone since enough time for you to think I might have forgotten you,
Thanks for your message it’s really appreciated!
So, another month's passed. Any news?
anyone in contact with the developer?
so sad. that money was important to me. now the z3z is kinda past on my life. won't judge others, but by the delay, i guess i can judge myself injuried.
