Speaking from personal experience, if you want to just flash this ROM and SuperSU then it works flawlessly. However using Magisk and Custom Kernel would probably cost lag/crashes.

So if you are looking for extra features or customization, I would advise you to hold of until developers get full control of Oreo. If you just want to try then go for it.

Personally, I see no difference in speed/battery coming from Stock Oreo.

Did PixelRom lose Daydream this time around? Does the old flash work?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
It seems there us some change in few latest bootloaders that makes not possible to theme it, yet. Maybe someone will make a way but as I know so far still not.

TWRP asks for password to decrypt storage, is there a way to bypass this?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] GeeKDO:
Just press cancel.

BTW this Rom has encryption enabled by default. In order to remove it you should do a factory reset.

Ps: you will lose all of your data. a backup is highly recommended.

Hi there,

one Oreo specific question: when I first opened exkm on this ROM the battery monitor was somehow collapsed in the notification area but still showing information, like the weather notification from Google Now. Then I expanded it just out of curiosity but how do I collapse it again?

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aussie7:
Thanks, its been a while since I did this to my 5x, can you tell me how to flash custom recovery again :confused:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] das_brot:
Connect your phone to your PC and power it off. Press and hold Power plus both volume buttons until the bootloader screen appears. Than flash TWRP via fastboot with the command

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Josh:
Or you can flash it from Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit(easier way) :

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aussie7:
ok i flashed twrp.img via adb with the following commnand "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img

said it was flashed sucessfully, but when I go into recovery mode I get the same error no commnad :eek:

ok I have tried flashing with adb and both bootloader and root are displayed as done

i get the an adb device was found but it was listed as unauthorized ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Josh:
In Wug's NRT you will see "Initial setup"- Full driver installation guide . Follow that and you should be good to go . That's easiest method to flash whatever you want.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mizarddo:
Should we install v8.0 over the factory build of Oreo or can we just upgrade from v7.5 of pixelROM? Some are saying the upgrade is likely to result in a laggy experience (with the data/cache wiped alright).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] das_brot:
Try the newest TWRP 3.1.1.0
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
No, I simply sideloaded the OTA from google.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
First install Oreo stock and later do a full wipe and install the rom. You can't install pixelrom 8.0 (AOSP based) over 7.5 (stock based) as they have different basis.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aussie7:
tried flashing the latest TWRP 3.1.1.0 and still no good
[Nexus 5X Android Development] catsruul:
Quick question; I've tried a variety of things but I can't disable encryption on this ROM- Magisk, as pointed out, cannot function without the setup wizard having completed.

I've tried FED Patcher, various kernels, etc. Is encryption required by 8.0 now?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] das_brot:
I don't know if you did all this already but download stock factory image and extract the zip and the one inside. Than flash boot, radio, bootloader, vendor and system and twrp as recovery, reboot to recovery and install PixelROM there, via sideload. Of course you shouldn't have to flash system but just try. For me everything worked fine this way
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mizarddo:
So a full wipe of system partition and then installing v8.0 wouldn't do either? Installing the stock is essential?

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Also, guys, is it likely to see optX around for N5X here on XDA at some point? Or is it so hardware related that we won't be able to get a port?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AerogamingHD:
Wait just to get this correct. The laggy UI is due to magisk???
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gullkhan0:
For me, it was Magisk so I had to remove and install SuperSU instead. Also Franco Kernel lagged the system so hard that it rebooted multiple times during a high cpu intensive task. So I would suggest to remain to the stock kernel and use SuperSU for now at least.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] linqdesires:
Elementalx is kernel panic free

But I have to report lags compared to 7.1.2 yet

Sometimes (some times) when unlocking the phone it takes 2 seconds to come back to life
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aussie7:
ok I don't have the patients for this atm :(

at the moment I can install factory images from https://developers.google.com/android/images

the way I have installed them is to start NRT as admin > click on flash stock + unroot > select other/browse and select the factory image > device is on normal > ok

this works for factory roms but not cusom roms :crying:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Josh:
When you flash factory image then you must flash custom recovery TWRP with NRT . When you flash TWRP with NRT then put files on phone which you want to flash and if you want root flash latest super su . You must learn how to do some stuff first.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] skoolished:
On NRT you need to choose launch then choose flash zip. After that select file u want to flash...that is how we flash custom rom using NRT. Not flash stock + unroot to flash custom room.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aussie7:
Thanks for the help everyone :D

I finally got back to root and unlocked and can install custom rom now

warning don't flash GooglePixelROM_bullhead-RC-8.0a-20170830.zip as it will remove root, if you have try these steps using NRT

1. flash stock and unroot

2. install latest twrp

3. root and custom recovery

4. flash custom rom

I hope this helps someone else who is suffering from the same issues :highfive:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] emureddu43:
hi, i have just installed the new version of the rom with 8.0, i noticed that there is no more the unlimited photo feature and that if you decrypt the phone you will get the google play services issue , are anyone having the same problems?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DCnovicky:
Not sure if I'm missing granting a permission or its a bug but on 7.1.2 when connected to my Bluetooth headset and a call would come through it would announce the contact name through the headset "call from name of contact"... On 8.0 it always says" call from unknown "... Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DREWHAMM974:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] kvarg:
Im trying to flash this rom again, first time it worked fine ( i decided to try another rom but wanted to go back to this one now) but now there seems to be a problem... I flashed back to stock, unrooted and yeah, back to stock, oreo. Downloaded the rom, installed twrp, deleted cache and data, then when i reboot from twrp into rom twrp says "no OS sure you want to reboot" or something like that. I rebooted, the rom booted up after some lag in the boot and then google play services starts to close down before i am finished with setup...Why does it do this?

So now, i tried to reflash again, flashed stock oreo, installed twrp , deleted data and cache... then twrp just says " zip is corrupted"...

I dont know what it Im doing wrong...? Anyone have a clue?

Sorry for bad english.

Nevermind. I did a mistake deleting system.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] eddi0:
I was about to pull my hair out, I kept losing root with that file. Are there more detailed steps on how to get this rooted again so I can flash a ROM and keep it rooted??

Much thanks.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
If your version of the rooting tool changes the ramdisk it will always be wiped when a new boot.img is flashed which means that at any time you flash a custom ROM or a stock ROM you will lose root.

I don't see the problem though, just reinstall your rooting tool of choice after flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] eddi0:
I am trying to use NRT but every time it boots to PixelRom and then I lose root again. I'm obviously a noob here so any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
I don't know what NRT is and I really don't care either. You install magisk or supersu through TWRP after flashing your ROM through TWRP. It works.

It's very easy and there are about 32 million guides on how to do this so there is no need to use some other tool to do it that apparently doesn't work properly.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
I have the same issue, what carrier are you on if you don't mind me asking?

Damn, same here. Maybe there's some weirdness with them. Still trying to catch it in the act and take a logCat, but it's so random that it's tough not to paste a novel of a log in here ?

Oh, good stuff. Just the pixel rom zip? Or the entire OTA + zip?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] catsruul:
For some weird reason I'm getting an initial Google App FC and then a Play Services FC... never had it before. Even reflashed stock images and reinstalled. Weiird.

(for the curious all I've done is flash PixelROM>EX kernel)

Edit: nvm seems like the phone thinks the PixelROM vendor image is a 6.0.1 image.. wtf? Whatever, fixed by flashing the O factory vendor image.

Edit 2: I take that back, this is really weird.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AfterLifez:
I flashed it 2 days ago, the only problem i had was when i tried to flash magisk after i set everything up, everything became slow and laggy and my system was corrupted, couldn't flash anything else. So i flashed boot.img again, flashed this rom once again and now everything is working flawlessly. I'll keep it unrooted since i wanted it only for theming, but i now have andromeda so everything is fine. Thank you for your hard work!

Every time you flash a new ROM you will lose root because you're writing over what is there currently. Upgrading won't over write.

I've been holding off on installing Oreo because I want to play Pokemon Go with my wife. She is on the factory image. I am on PureNexus 7.1.2 with SuperSU, and I cannot play with her.

From what I understand, I should just need to install this rom, immediately followed by flashing the Magisk 14 zip file.

However, I wanted to know if there were people out there that could confirm two things:

1) Is Magisk still causing lags, and if so, where / what applications are lagging? Is the lag dependent on the kernel installed (stock vs franco vs ElementalX vs other)?

2) Is Magisk on Nexus 5X Oreo able to play Pokemon Go? I understand it should work, but I've always used SuperSU, so changing OS and Root method together is just an unkonwn. I've also seen a few posts about Magisk not working correctly. I didn't know if it was user error in those non-working instances, or a bad flash, or bad luck, or a known issue with Magisk+Oreo.

Thanks for your help! Really looking forward to this!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
Download ROM, install ROM via TWRP unless the OP says differently.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

1) It has never been causing lags after initial setup. Read the thread, search the forums.

2) No, Magisk cannot play Pokemon Go, you have to play it yourself. ;)

Worst case scenario, restore your backup.... Why would anyone in their right mind even ask these questions?
