Need help for installation

So coming from another custom rom, I've tried a older version of this rom but I had some issues with unable to get root, so if I want to jump from the other custom rom to this one, what should I do to install this rom without deleting any items in my storage and keeping root?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I skipped version 1.0oc and went directly to 1.0.1oc. you can flash twrp via nrt or adb now since you lost it. The 1.0.1oc is not replacing twrp.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
Thank's Bro I confirm it wokrs :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AVNascimento:
With this "mod" , can be a ilimited storage or only work to google photos?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Quinny899:
Don't even try, even if you get it to "work" in the app it will still use drive space
[Nexus 5X Android Development] skinnywaffles:
Boot into TWRP, Select data, and cache, but uncheck internal storage (also be sure to have the oct vendor image installed), then wipe. You'll keep stuff in your downloads, but you'll have to install your apps again and go through the setup process because I think trying to dirty flash this is a no-go. As far as I know, magish and SU work fine in this ROM, I'm using magisk. Just flash it again and it should work fine (magisk didn't work on earlier versions when i tried). Hope this helps and im not doing it wrong lol

Hello everyone,

I have flashed pixel 2 v 1.0.1.

Phone is running smooth.

Is there any further update ?

Actually was not that active last couple weeks with the threat.

So if I need to flash anything else from op please suggest.

Thank You in andvance.

One more thing is there any way to change the font?

somehow i missed this reply - i am so sorry. i believe the stock image has been uploaded by Google though. Thank you for all your hard work!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LancerEvoDrifter:
Would I just flash the vendor image like normal? or would I have to in addition of flashing the radio and bootloader if I want to keep my root?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tomasdesires:
You will not keep your root, when you flash rom. If you flash only vendor, radio or bootloader, you will keep root.

Is the ROM capable of backing up SMS messages on android messages?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DrKestrel:
Yes, it works properly
[Nexus 5X Android Development] skinnywaffles:
For me I just flashed the stock Oct image so it would give me the Oct vendor and then followed the followed the installation instructions. The vendor stayed.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dreamland2000:
Has anyone found an issue with this ROM (latest build) where it has froze and rebooted but then got stuck in a bootloop? I have tried using fastboot to recover back to stock but no luck and it wont let me get into recovery (TWRP) all i get is the phone getting to the first 'Google' screen then reboots. Nothing I seem to do allows me to get into either recovery or another ROM. This has only happened with this ROM. Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Yes
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Quinny899:
This sounds like the hardware failure bootloop. Either flash a kernel that allows it to boot on 4 cores or send it to LG for repairs
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
You might have got the Bootloop of Death.

Yesterday I got a notification to retrain my voice model to include "Hey Google." I accidentally clicked on it and then closed it which apparently disabled my "Ok Google" detection. Today I went in to reactivate and retrained the voice model. Upon leaving the retraining screen, my options for "Ok Google" detection became grayed out. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the offline speech recognition to no avail. My default language is set to English (US).

Does anyone know of any fix for this?

(See attached screenshot)

[Update]:

I found a temporary workaround. Uninstall the current version of the Google App. This will return the app to a previous version where you can train the voice model with only "Ok Google" (as opposed to the new combination of "Ok Google" and "Hey Google"). Once you do this, you can update the app, but DO NOT RETRAIN THE VOICE MODEL. Otherwise you'll have to repeat the process.

Do i just wipe data, recovery, etc and flash like i would any other ROM? what is the deal? I can deal with the awful teal accent, i have a substratum theme that turns it to the Pixel blue lol

Also, i wonder if arguar is basing the next update on 8.1 (that'd be awesome), is just doing it on the 8.0 Pixel 2 images, or both. Either way, its gonna be awesome

[Nexus 5X Android Development] KillerPinockel:
Hello,

I changed from PureNexus to this Rom.

I find the rom super, but one thing bothers me a lot. The forcible encryption. PureNexus was unencrypted and the speed was great. With the Pixelrom I notice clear differences in the speed. How can I remove the encryption? Many thanks for your help!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Vipauer:
See here: XDA :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Benjamin_L:
I doubt you notice the encryption, it's very smooth with it here and I easily get 4-5h SOT on Wifi. You realize that the phone is easily unlockable even if you have display lock set up when the bootloader is unlocked when encryption is disabled, do you? So better not lose your phone if you value your private stuff.

I was on the right updates and did a completely fresh install of the rom.

I'm gonna try and install the rom again and see if it gets better, but my hopes are not that high.

2) I understand that Rom contains gapps, correct ?

3) In Installation, I read to flash just the rom, but in download section I see that there are :

Base for October security patch

Google Pixel²ROM v1.0.1oc
