@flohack I was able to boot into that image and list the data partition:

@flohack It's working! Typing from ubports on my pixel 2 now!

Thank you!

Ahhh yes, the behavior that drove me away from the community all those years ago: people arguing about the names of things instead of making the experience better for developers

@Flohack thanks for the explanation.

I just thought this comment was unnecessary and out of context. I'm an outsider, don't particularly care (no offense, I detest arguments about labels), and if the project has naming issues perhaps it should be addressed with branding and not forum posts.

Regardless! This is a pixel 2 thread. You were right about the battery. It didn't even last 12 hours for me with just wifi on with nextcloud/caldav and dekko/imap sync.

The good thing is bluetooth etc works fine for audio so far and I was able to pull up a video to watch via jellyfin/jellyfUn. I had no visible issues on install as a user who doesn't know specifics to look for.

It's otherwise sluggish but bearable for a first build. Some of the battery is likely due to age and wear as well, I was pretty rough on this thing. Never been a fan of its USB-C port anyway, always had trouble with charging cables.

@flohack Awesome! I guess it will be hard to judge battery life since I haven't used the thing as a daily driver for over a year. I'm eager to try it, though, at least to have a phone to develop apps against.

@flohack Looks like clk_ignore_unused may be needed as a command line boot option, if I'm interpreting this correctly?

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon_835_(MSM8998)

If there's an easy way I can test that I'd be happy to, though I realize the same chip is used in taimen and not having this issue.

@Flohack This page at postmarketOS wiki states some issues with pstore. Is it possible we're facing the same issues?

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Google_Pixel_2_XL_(google-taimen)

EDIT:
Also wondering if we need to set clk_ignore_unused=true, though I'm not sure how or if you've already configured that

@flohack Any ideas how I might get past this "ERROR: Operation Denied" error? It seems that's what's preventing me from dropping into recovery after the kernel panic, right? and the bootloader erases pstore?

@flohack OK, that didn't work. I decided to reflash android and re-flash ubports again for a fresh slate.

During the ubports installer while it was pushing files I decided to adb shell in and look for console-ramoops. To my surprise, it was there. No idea if it's useful or not.

@flohack Volume down just goes into the bootloader without the error

@flohack Hmm holding Volume Up during boot drops me into the bootloader with the following error message in yellow:

ERROR: Operation Denied

Nothing in /sys/fs/pstore/, either

Maybe I'm pressing Volume Up at the wrong time?
