---- Problem Solved after three device restarts. Don't know why.

Hey, a great ROM, everything is working except the Google Contacts App. The contacts keep syncing with google, without success. Can you help. I already wiped the data and the cache of the app.

Best regards

Max

---- Problem Solved after three device restarts. Don't know why.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zurik:
Wiping data, system, cache and dalvik. Don't touch internal storage. Its like how you flash ROM for first time.

Before updating, flash the April base mentioned in OP
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Yes, it is for the Bullhead, the Nexus 5X
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Milan P.:
I clean flashed the ROM with Magisk. Play Store will not allow me to download any apps...How do I fix this?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Same here I can't install any app.

I can install one app after every reboot for some reason.

Edit: it began installing like after three reboots and uninstalling magisk.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] maxmustermann123:
Clear Cache of Play Store and kill the app manually. Restart the Play store, and afterward it should work.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DewaAri:
Can you make for Nexus 5 ...? :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] afzi:
Sorry for that I have 5x but it have 4core system image n it's running on stock 8.1 android. How I get this rom, any method to flash with 4core image, Please tell me.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gmp009:
How u manage to make Google lens work in Google Assistant can you tell me i wanna do it with my Stock Rom not rooted :P
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Tangra:
I have bootlooping device and I am tired of dealing with these monthly updates.. Few months ago I installed the previous version of this ROM with 4core boot/recovery. It was booting but the device was super slow. I wish to install some decent ROM with similar to 4core stock performance and to end these monthly updates nightmare. Hopefully somebody will make appropriate 4core boot and recovery and make it possible.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] page64:
if it comes from the latest version of the Rom stock is it necessary to flash the zip with the April patches?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
If it was the April version then it is not needed but if you came from the March update you have to flash the April base.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Milan P.:
I think he made it able to work since he named the whole devices Pixel 2. So he is essentially masking the 5X as a Pixel 2.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ling751am:
The boot logo changed back to Nexus original style, miss that Pixel boot logo :(

And I was trying to rebuild imgdata, and flashed them so many times, still have Nexus boot logo, no luck for me
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gmp009:
OO i was expecting that too :P Well thanks man for clearing my Doubt!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
There is also some tutorial that shoes how to do that, but proven that it only shows unlimited upload 7n app while actually not working that way , so you end up filling your drive with full size backup not being able to disable that.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] raffejos:
installed latest update but cant download any app from playstore. delete cache and user data doent helped for me. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fr4sh57:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
Yes bro works fine :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Can you confirm the version of bootloader after flashing this?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zurik:
BHZ10p
[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
I confirm BHZ10P ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
So, it's not the latest
[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
And ? What the matter this ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
Hi!

Any way to disable full resolution Google photos backup without editing build.prop? After a long time using this rom my Google storage is almost full

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
You should have unlimited storage in Google photos with this rom if not follow this thread

Thank you for using this ROM!​
[Nexus 5X Android Development] page64:
great ROM, for a flash based on 2.2, how should you proceed?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Can I flash this on top of Pixel2Rom v2.2apr without wiping data? Or is it necessary to wipe data.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Yes it is necessary because of system apps versions downgrade.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mspasov:
Did you use the same kernel as in v.2.2apr?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ruxandy:
I decided to unlock the bootloader and give your ROM a try, since the official 8.1 ROM is full of bugs that really make impossible using the phone for work related stuff.

Any advice on how should I proceed would be appreciated (last time I flashed a custom ROM was on an old Nexus 5, a few years ago, so I'm a little behind with ROM flashing news :) ). Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
Thanks Argraur,

But wiping data my wife is still screaming that she must put everything back ... never get married lol :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ikromy:
I'm coming from GooglePixel Rom 8.0 , should I wipe system partition or not? or install stock 8.1 first?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
Save your apps with titanium backup, save your pictures wirh Google photo and put the other files like music on your computer but there's no problem, she must not put everything back just count about 30 minutes for backup and say thanks to USB C for speed.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] laugeek57:
No need ;) my friend you're right he me that I decide to install him if I want peace lol thanks bro :D

"Update 4 – Google Photos Unlimited Storage Not Working, Pixel Wallpapers Still Work"

So not working, Google patched it. I got 12,8Gb used on Google drive most since I use this rom
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
It's not true feature. It is only cosmetic placebo with actual problem that therenis no toggle to disable it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
So no way to disable it (editing build.prop stuff) without loosing the other pixel exclusive features, right?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I think it is safe to edit build.prop and not loosing the features that comes with the rom. But I can't confirm that.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] raffejos:
get errors while downloading rom from androidfilehost. tried many mirrors but file ist fragmentary?! an google drive link would be awsome:D Now i have a daily driver without rom my own stupidity....
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Run in terminal:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/etc/sysconfig/pixel_2017_exclusive.xml
reboot

This removes feature named com.google.android.apps.photos.PIXEL_2017_PRELOAD, I suggest you wiping Google Photos app's data and cache after removing that.

I will nuke that in next update ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] meatwad0222:
Does anyone use this rom with the BLOD fix for this phone? just curious, having some issues with wifi not working.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Are you sure that your BLOD fix kernel is on April security patch level?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
Thanks a lot! By the way... Is there any way to covert the files uploaded in full resolution to high resolution for free up that use used space?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
I took the [MENTION=3407676]epic118[/MENTION] moded bootloader from this thread and I have modified the Google logo size to match pixel boot animation Google logo on this rom. I also took the opportunity to delete "can not check for corruption" warning and unlock icon on boot. Flashable zip attached if someone is interested
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Umm.. ROM already has boot logo that match boot animation. Also it gives Pixel 2 warning screen and fastboot. So this zip is useless:confused:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Changelog from v2.3.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
Not on early screen and fastboot screen. Actually the ones included in this ROM are uglier than the Nexus stock ones.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] UmbrellaCorp10:
1. The stock has the bootloader alert

2. The stock has not fastoboot white and like your zip (i'm sorry but it's right)

3. The written google logo is lightly not centered as bootloader right one

4. Pixel2rom has already the bootlogo

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

If you want disable black alert screen at begin, lock bootloader
[Nexus 5X Android Development] estapagu:
I don't want to lock the bootloader. Who has the bootloader locked? :p . I just attached the file in case someone was interested. As I said, I took the mod of [MENTION=3407676]epic118[/MENTION] and resize google logo to fit the boot animation of pixel 2 rom. So I got no black alert on unlocked bootloader and also themed fastboot screen. maybe I did not know how to explain well because of my English. ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I remember the pixel boot animation has the bootsound. But since Oreo there is no sound or at least some very short beep is there but not the whole.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hbk505:
Hi.

I have the phone completely manufactured and I want to try this rom since it seems very good.

Can someone tell me what steps I should take to install it correctly?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DrKestrel:
You should use the instructions provided by argaur - clean data and cache, install zip via TWRP, and that's all
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hbk505:
Thanks for answering

What prerequisites are necessary? unlock bootloader? install twrp? have a specific version of the stock software?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Josh:
To have brain
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jeric0:
Hi all. I don't have any rom on my N5x. I flash the latest version but in the start configuration I have black screen.

I try to flash the 2.2 version first and than the 2.3 version over it without wiping system but no luck. Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] DrKestrel:
Yes, you should have your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. I don't know about Android version preinstalled, but to be sure you can install April image, then flash TWRP, and install the rom.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hbk505:
with the ota of April is enough or should we install the completely new April image?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Vendor, bootloader and radio are already preloaded in ROM zipfile
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Try following steps:

1. Wipe system using proper tools (fastboot)

Reboot to bootloader

Plug phone into PC

Run following command

fastboot format:ext4 system

2. Using volume keys choose Recovery mode

3. In recovery, wipe data and cache

4. Flash ROM

Tell me if it worked ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jeric0:
Thanks for help. I try in the next days and will report if works.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] yjdlove82:
Thank you for your great work, it works very well
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jeric0:
I have found ten minutes for try your solution. Seems to work great! Thanks for your Help And for this Amazing Rom

;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Zetraxx:
what is the battery life with this rom ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
ROM does not consume battery, it's how you use your device, how much apps you got installed and how those apps are used and if active in background for sync or whatever. So,... it's basically hard to compare any measurements with other users.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] damagi123:
folks I cannot figure out how to root this rom. the rom itself works beautifully. then i fastboot twrp, then boot recovery, then flash supersu and then wipe cache and dalvik and restart it. just freezes at the google logo and never does anything else. Is there a specific version of supersu or twrp were supposed to be using here?

ive searched this thread endlessly but cannot find the answer sorry if i missed it
[Nexus 5X Android Development] raffejos:
I use magisk and it works without problems
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Try latest twrp and latest supersu SR5
[Nexus 5X Android Development] marcelo.toma:
The same as in the Oreo roms, but a little better.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] damagi123:
magisk worked like a charm dude. thanks so much. Ive been avoiding making the switch for a while but apparently im a magisk man now lol

Tried it and it just kept bootlooping still, dont know what could be different about my setup but appreciate the reply though man
[Nexus 5X Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
If you don't wipe system partition, does that mean it doesn't matter what ROM you were on before? For example I'm using an 8.0+ ROM right now, don't wipe system and it'll upgrade from that?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
I now have a custom rom installed; do I need to flash the stock rom before installing this Pixel 2 rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] peterpv:
This ROM also has boot, vendor and radio images included so whatever your phone already has, it will be overwritten.

So no, there is no need to flash the stock ROM before installing this Pixel2 ROM.

However, if you do run not-booting into issues, the first thing I would try is restore to stock using the latest (April 2018) factory ROM

and when that's booting, flash TWRP to the recovery, boot TWRP and flash the Pixel2 ROM.

If you want root, I have good experiences with Magisk.

Good luck with that :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ronzio Pilato:
Hello, I just want say congratulation to argraur! This ROM is awesome, I've been using for a year! But with 8.0 I have problems, like battery drain and the phone is slower, especially the launcher. But the most important problem for me is the impossibility to see IPA characters (https://tophonetics.com/). Yesterday I tried to install the new version, but I was not able to do that. I always used Nexus Root Toolkit, but this time doesn't want to work. Can someone help me? I installed TWRP with NRT, but when I have to root, it stops on Google logo at start and don't go on. I used last version of TWRP and SuperSu. Now I'm on stock factory image, super fast (I really missed it) but I already hate the stock launcher and miss the night mode, plus notification sounds and ringtone. I even used the 15 seconds ADB https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ , but it failed, when I go into recovery it says "no command". Can someone help me? :(
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Try using magisk. I have also experienced these types of issues with SuperSU.

I would also like to recommend ex kernel it has significantly improved my battery life and to some degree the performance of my device.

And be sure to flash twrp after flashing the ROM or stock android or it will show no command as twrp gets overridden by the stock rom recovery which displays the no command error.

1.So try flashing twrp again with adb.

2.Install the ROM.(don't forget to wipe data,cache and dalvik chache)

3.Flash magisk. (Wait for first reboot can take some time)

4.Reboot bootloader via adb.

5.Flash twrp via adb.

6.And if you want flash ex kernel.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ronzio Pilato:
Hi and thank for reply!

All my friends always told me that Magisk has problem with some application, is that true?

I'm already using ElementalX, it is fantastic, on older version of this ROM I was able to do 4.30h of screen, with 8.0 only 3.30h :( (Now all stock battery looks going well).

1. I treid again this afternoon, but it failed again. I don't know what I'm missing! I open a cmd in the folder, write >adb reboot bootloader , >fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img changing with file name, and then >fastboot reboot , but when I try to go on Recovery nothing happen. If I try to root with NRT it will install TWRP, so, before the tool push in my phone files for the root, I could interrupt it and save my TWRP. Can I flash the PixelROM and flash magisk? Or there will be problem?

Btw I always wipe data, cache and Dalvik in these cases.

Thank again!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Just do not use SuperSU and use Magisk instead.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Magisk does not have problems obvio.

Also, do not use TWRP < 3.x with Oreo. Never.

Get latest 3.2.1: https://dl.twrp.me/bullhead/twrp-3.2.1-0-bullhead.img.html

Is it normal that when on Night Mode the phone just gets laggy? I wonder why... night mode on lineage os 15.1 isn't like this
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zurik:
Hardware limitation.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Skulltec:
Any suggested kernel for this rom! I am using Franco kernel right now but don't got the idea that it's working much better than stock, battery wise. I want smooth experience though, I know EX kernel (which I used back in 7.1) has some decent profiles but I also remember the lack of smoothness of these profiles. Anyway, it may have changed over the year. It's probably not just for this rom though as I don't this the rom does better battery than stock. So anyway which do you guys suggest now days?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
Try shadow kernel, it's actually the best so far , but wait it's next stable release wich will be released in next hours.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dragon's Fedora:
Booting error

for some reason, i'm stuck on the google logo. I have tried re-flashing multiple times but it doesn't fix the issue. I'm trying to use this after I successfully fixed the boot-loop I had.

Could I get any help.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Skulltec:
i have been looking after the kernel but it seems it's in its very early stage. i will wait for stable releases and see, thank you.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
I can assure you that it's really stable and the dev release a lot of beta between stable release to be sure it's stable.

It's even more stable than franco as even franco kernel update to latest linux version.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache if not then that's the reason for your bootloop.

And don't use SuperSU. only magisk.

And if all this didn't work then the ROM you have downloaded is corrupted so reinstall the ROM and reflash it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PollacCsaba87:
Hey everyone, i have a problem, im on 8.1 apr security , i had a problem with a bootloop and i read about installing a modified twrp 3.1.1 and a modified boot , so ive installed these modified images and ive than flashed this rom and magisk and the phone does not boot it freezes on the google logo, sorry for my bad English but what can i do?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Did you flash the ROM on after flashing the files?

If yes then the ROM has overridden your boot and twrp as it is already included in the ROM so flash those files after flashing the ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PollacCsaba87:
Ok so u say that i need to flash this Rom and the magisk and after the Rom to flash the modified boot and the modified twrp?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
Yep. :)

Also wipe data ,cahche and dalvik cache.

Don't flash magisk it won't work as your modified boot.img will prevent magisk from working.

Try flashing magisk after you boot your device with the ROM.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Shadow kernel rocks without issues, even beta.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mahyarmo:
I just can't turn on System UI Turner by Hold the gear icon.

Anyone else?

P.S: It works, It was because of turned off window animations.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
Is there any reason why the GoogleSans font isn't available on every UI element? I can just see it on the lockscreen clock and other few elements... the screenshots at the beginning of the discussion show that it's implemented in every text of the UI
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Quinny899:
Product Sans is only used in a few places on Oreo on the Pixels. It's in more places in the P DP1, but still not everywhere. It's not meant to be everywhere either, it looks bad on small text.

The screenshots are old, from a build where it was everywhere but that was reverted
[Nexus 5X Android Development] salim0786:
This rom is awesome but it doesnt allow netflix or amazon to play in hd even though drm level is l1. sad.... the only reason why I switched......

Thanks for update
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pearsone:
Will there be a fix for those on the Sprint network. I have tried about 5 times following the instructions to the T with no luck getting service during the setup or after skipping through the setup and getting into the settings.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] lucuzzu:
Hey folks, quick question. Since ex kernel can be installed only over the stock one, how did you do it? Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
That actually mean to flash over kernel that comes with your rom whatever kernel that is. So you are free to flash it over the kernel included in this rom. Just extract the boot.img from the zip of the rom just in case so you cen flash it as image.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] lucuzzu:
Ah ok. I tried once and after the boot it crashed. I'll try again. Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
If you booted then it's fine but there might be something else that crashes.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Xeust:
I'm still a bit confused about wiping system partition with the new build. OP stated there's no need to wipe system if coming from pixel rom along with having bugs if you wipe system. But what if I'm from another aosp rom? Should I wipe system? Should I clean flash stock April build and then proceed to flash this rom without wiping system?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
If you are coming from another AOSP ROM, I would advice to mske a clean flash and avoid issues.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mrakattack:
Wonder if [MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] will be updating with P DP2 features along with May security patch. Patiently waiting to see what he comes out with next. Love this rom btw.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Xeust:
Yes, sure. I'd do that. I want to in fact. But OP mentioned I'd get bugs from wiping system which is part of clean flash. So it's okay if I clean flash?

Basically what I'm confused with now is the steps. How the wiping system partition will affect the rom? How do I do the correct clean flash? Is it okay to

1) jump from another aosp to this rom directly with wiped system partition or

2) I should clean flash stock and install this rom on top of it

But okay for now I'm just gonna try the latter
