best rom for privacy that's not copperheados - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello all,
I am having trouble with Pixel 2 XL building for copperheados. With no official lineage available, what is the best custom rom for privacy? I basically want no gapps or anything google on my phone.

Idk but I think it's ironic that you have a Google phone and want no Google stuff on it.

Totally agree. Lol. But aside from being a google phone, it has great hardware specifications, a good camera etc. And I wasn't going to go apple.

I'm on a nexus 6p and run Dirty Unicorn with no gapps with no problems. Find a ROM with the feature set you like and don't flash gapps.

Won't be as easy as you think, since installing GApps seperataly has led to issues on the 2XL, most ROMs (all but I could be wrong) have GApps included.
Maybe you can ask the dev to build you a version without GApps or build one yourself from the sources of one of the ROMs.

Carbon doesn't have Gapps.

All I can say so far is it booted. I had a meeting so I am just setting it up now.
Update:
The Gapps I have been using are not working. I cannot get through setup due to app crashes.
Update 2:
SlimGapps Work

Which Gapps were you originally using?
Did you try the 64-bit Gapps?

The 64 bit from Craigomez did not work.

I had also problems with the 64bit-Gapps. The PA Mirco Gapps worked wonderful.
When I tried to install it (with TWRP) it told me that the package is for flounder devices but my device is a volantis. AFAIK Volantis is HTC's name while Flounder is Google's codename. What should I do to make the flash successful?

I'm gonna try and get a thread up in the Original Dev area this afternoon. Life has been quite busy lately (Uni interviews are dominating my life ). Has anyone got any problems they want to report?
Sorry for the lack of builds; my autobuild script has been a little buggy as of late. Think they're fixed now
Thanks to @ipdev for making this thread also
There's mention on the download site that "At the moment, this is all completely stock LineageOS code, so will encrypt your device". Is this true for the Nexus 7? Thanks.

Wait...you said "no" and then "it does encrypt". I'm slightly confused. Will my tablet be encrypted if I install LineageOS? I'm currently running CM 14.1 and it did not require any encryption.

It works on my OnePlus One and on my Nexus 7 in aosp builds so it's hard to say.
Hey @hazzer, thanks for doing this. Quick question. installing thus unofficial version, Will it receive future updates from the official version when it comes out? Will the latest CyanogenMod be automatically updated to Lineage OS?
Beat regards and thanks again.
Can't wait to flash this rom! If I have the latest nightly available for CM, is it OK if I just flash this rom without wiping data?

Not sure if I would recommend it but, it did work. (Dirty flash.)
I would recommend making a backup before you try. (Just in case.)

Yes, you can just dirty flash to the LineageOS official nightlies. The latest CM won't be automatically updated, you will have to flash the first LineageOS build, and then you'll get updates.

Stable Gapps for 8.1 Oreo?

Hi all,
Need a little advice on where people are getting their Gapps for 8.1, not sure how many people here are running oreo on the axon 7 but thought it might be worth asking?
The Gapps package that im using now has just broken completely after a week or so of use, the google app,keyboard,maps,dialer(!) are all constantly crashing. And i dont believe its a problem with the rom, which is RR Oreo by Nfound if it matters.
Anybody got a reliable package?
Me and my wife both have axon 7, both are U models. Both have Aex Oreo by Nfound. wife has 24022018 build, i have previous build. We both have the unofficial Gapps build, recommended on the Aex thread. My phone runs stable, my wife Gapps keeps crashing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's an odd thing. I just completely reflashed the rom and a (few days) newer GApps release, and so far so good?
Kinda scared to leave it though, as I need the phone to ya know work so hopefully it was just something small.
Come to think of it though Nfound could do with a support thread for the RR Oreo.
I flashed the same Gapps release on both phones.
i've downloaded yesterday from this topic

you can try them, the arm versions are working absolut stable on my n7, didn't try the arm 64 for the axon 7.
Try "MindTheGapps". They work fine on mine 8.1 builds. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=170282

Most Stable ROM with OTA for Moto X Play 1562?

Thanks for the link. My friend does not want any GApps running on the device. I am currently on a OnePlus 3T running Sultan's version of LOS 14 without GApps. He wants his phone to be similar.

why no gapps? i mean any LOS without flashing gapps works. but without you lose like 50% of the Phone use...

I also don't use any gapps. He wants to use the FDroid repo as I do for all apps. It suffices quite well and is open source.

Mokee100.0 for z17

Since there is no thread for this just yet, and I noticed they started doing nightly builds voor android 10 based mokee, I figured it was time for it's own thread...
any thoughts inputs? no one posted about this on xda yet... but I noticed @Spencer_D for instance already gave it a shot (saw your post on the mokee forums, not gonna link to that though )
so I'm curious about your findings, and that of anyone that might have tried to give this a shot... I'm eager to try it myself, but is google apps available for android 10, or would gapps 9.x work?
anyone still hapyp with their z17 or is everyone looking for a newer phone, with more developers? ^_^
It is not ready for being my daily drive.

It is flashed with no problems. The main problems are: battery life, no root (boot can't be signed after magisk installed, many twrp versions tried), strange autobrightness at some light conditions, some apps fc.
