In simple terms until the dev builds a magisk version, I don't think you should do that. Using a custom kernel hides the fact your bootloader is unlocked anyway.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
You trying to hide from SafetyNet? Me too. I'm wondering if dm-verity will work with this ROM, I'm not sure. If yes, it'll help allot but I doubt it. Try using magisk anyway and enable "Magisk Hide" it seems to allow Android Pay to add cards...

Just wish that argraur would add more pixel goodies, such as options with fingerprint, double tap home for sleep, etc...

Just for improvement and next version, v3 is amazing!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Krenol:
You should consider that there are no sources out yet for 7.1.1 so those features won't be added to this ROM in near future I guess. They will surely come in December after the final release, if they can be added easily to a ROM
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Mitachben:
Dear developer, this message is just for you, if you will pay attention closely at version 3.0 in the file "Flash-PixelROM-Windows.bat"

you wrote the line "tools/fastboot-windows" flash "files/bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz11g.img"

which is incorrect , because the bootloader file is named "bootloader-bullhead-bhz11g.img" and not "bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bhz11g.img", it can be a problem to people who need their bootloader to be updated(most of who updated to 7.1.1 doesn't need)

can you please fix the line ? (in the Flash-PixelROM-NoWipe-Windows.bat file and the Flash-PixelROM-Linux.sh file is correct)

..For v4.0 :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
Yeah i saw this...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Rahulmsinghvi:
I am currently using stock 7.0

After installing this rom, can I continue without full wipe?

I mean will all my data and apps exist as it is?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Mattia_98:
Will I be able to go back to stock or other ROM without any problems or do I need to flash something else before? You should also insert the answer into the first post.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] dimasp6:
I'm also having the issue of it just sitting on waiting for device when attempting to flash this. The weird thing is my computer recognizes the nexus when its booted up and even shows up when running the command adb devices but as soon as I boot into fastboot it no longer is recognized, even tried plugging in to different port, rebooting fastboot, reinstalling adb completely and still not getting it to recognize.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] farru503:
That doesn't sound right...i can leave my phone with 100% battery on the table for 1 hr and when i pick it up still be 100%....

Are you all stock, no mods? If not then it might be a app running crazy af in the background
[Nexus 5X Android Development] TheGoatJr:
After trying this, PoGO at least went from stuck at the loading screen to telling me my device is incompatible. Perhaps modifying the build.prop or another file might help?

I noticed the settings tell me I'm using a Pixel XL (lol I wish), yet some things still say Nexus 5X. Maybe some inconsistency is throwing this flag?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] chris.k00:
What is in SystemUIGoogle included, witch isn't inside the Rom yet? The NavBar Animations?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] TheGoatJr:
I had this problem a while ago. If you're using Windows, first put your device in fastboot mode. You can find it in the Windows devices menu, then manually install the drivers for it. You can use universal drivers or download google's directly from their site.

Hi!

I flashed new version of this ROM and now I have red corruption screen :laugh:

How can I fix this?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
NO. NEVER install Google's updates into this ROM, it'll cause a whole load of issues or at the least remove the Pixel experience. Personally, I've disabled auto-updates in developer settings...

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Kun2210:
Slight off the current discussion, but can I simply flash V4A on PixelROM or it needs any special operations to work properly?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Hmm, I don't think so. But if you try, remember to use ElementalX kernel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:

Find arise swansong sound mod, you can download aroma or as well modular. I got the proper file to be added to root sdcard and it would flash it easily and it worka fine on my side.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Vipauer:
I installed the latest version of ARISE and as soon as the phone started I always got an error in the application.

Don't use any other version of Viper except this one.

Make SURE you don't skip Step #2 : Go to vendor\etc and remove/rename audio_effects.conf using any file manager with root access (ex. Root Browser)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I have tried both the AROMA and also the modular, latest Swansong v2.68. Once I figured what should work I made this .prop file for modular flashing which the flashing zip reads from the root directory of sdcard.

No extras other then profiles, v4a 2.5.0.5, permissive untouched, delete deep.buffer. Thats all I configure.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] roadster99:
This makes me sad. Every time I've tried to update using the new OTA updater it always goes this way. I lose all my data... My texts and things like that. I thought the purpose of having this updater was to mitigate problems like this? This will be the third time I'm clean installing just to update. How frustrating.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bradhoschar:
Don't u backup to Google Drive first?

Even if u don't, your apps will all sync after the install. Just the creds will need to be input. Oh, and there's no navbar mod in the latest.

I.. have.. found.. something.. BIG.

[MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] According to the dev of the "Swift Dark" theme, in the February update there is an issue causing /vendor to unmodifiable. He suggests reflashing it over once you've seen this issue and it looks like it makes sense. I've been unable to flash a mods, they seem to be successful but nothing added to the /vendor partition, and it would be great to see them work again. It only affects mods that use the /vendor partition but I'm gonna try and see if the issue exists here on 7.1.2, I believe it does. Although this ROM itself isn't on the February update, I think Google might have sneakily added this patch in here too...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] das_brot:

Everytime I go to Wifi and touch the settings wheel settings crash. So infact I am unable to go to that settings.. But I don't know if it might be related to the dev preview state, your modifications or something else. Thanks a lot ??

boot loop issues

Hey!

Currently encountering a boot-loop issue. My nexus 5x was running fine all day yesterday and then froze. I tried restarting the device, but when it was powering back on the system wouldn't start.

I tried booting into recovery, but no recovery system is found now.

Any thoughts on how i may be able to get my phone working again?

Hey were you talking about rooting the ROM or stock .For me personally after I Installed the latest ROM it showed super su still asking for root permissions I toke that as I didn't not have to root the ROM wbu? And have you and any luck enabling tethering ? I can get to the build.prop using file explorer but the text deosnt make an effect.wb you?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Try wugfresh nexus root toolkit app for windows, find latest. Its very straight forward and very good explained. Might be gonna use force flash if it fails, dont freak out. Run for the option to unroot lock and flash stock. After that when you get successfully to home screen, then ur safe. That dude saved me few times my nexus 5, and im sure it would help with 5X as well. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

you can launch advanced tools and flash stock recovery or custom right from bootloader very easy and fairly self explanatory on how to navigate the toolbox. that dude has saved me on numerous times on 5 nexus devices i have owned, and have yet to have NRT let me down...PLUS he doesn't want 6 bucks per device to buy a module that does maybe half the actions you get with NRT for 100% free sorry skipsoft might should take a page out of that devs morals catalog. just saying...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LoadGamePL:
Hello, since I saw more and more Nexuses boot loop, I'm getting really worried about it. The question is, can I relock bl and go back to stock when my phone starts bootlooping? I don't think I'll get a replacement when Pixel Rom will be on the phone. I'm really dissapointed about 5x right now. I bought a Nexus phone again after fantastic Nexus 4, and it's nowhere close to that legend. Lags, launcher reloads and now bootloops? The only advantage this phone has is a huge modding community, but now I can't use any of custom ROMs because my phone can just die out of nowhere.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Maybe something got corrupted. Maybe you should first give a chance to clean install.

Then, if that doesnt help, boot to bootlader and use NRT 2.1.9 revert to stock.

Then you will have fresh new device like from shop. After that its up to you.

Haha something... CPU-to-eMMC connector brokes. And no way to fix it via flashing stock and locking bootloader. Only service center or dry connector with hair drier (temporarily works)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
It's not that the phone can die at any time from custom ROMs, but literally ALL of these phones are on a death clock, custom ROM or not. They must've f**ked up at the factory
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LoadGamePL:
I know that, the thing is when the phone hardware will fail, is it possible to flash stock ROM despite never ending boot loops so I can send it to LG.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Was just looking for that ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Before this rom I was with Bliss on nexus 5 and then on nexus 5x, for ages. Forgot that it might be needed. They had it out of the box. Now tried to plug one otg and dang. Now, I have found the app stick mount that works but I would like it without the app. So I thought maybe there is somewhere some flashable mod but couldnt find it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
There isn't one. You'd need kernel support and stuff for it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I could not agree more. My Nexus 5 wifi chip died 2 weeks after warranty expired. Imagine, for repair they had to replace the whole logic board. Phone kinda works but there is no wifi and during calls and randomly reboots. Tried all, even revert to stock and lock BL, you end up unplugged from the network. Only I can use it as camera now, lol.

The replacement of logic board costs 300€ on official lg service. Its a robbery. I could buy another one for less so I bought 5X

Sorry for a bit off topic.

---------- Post added at 19:08 ---------- Previous post was at 19:05 ----------

Right. Back on N5 days I was with CAF builds of roms and kernels. Maybe we could ask some kwrnel developers if they would do that.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
I doubt kernel devs would add it if they don't already have it. I think Jolla Kernel has it already though. The only point I've found it for so far is portable hard drives, ACD I haven't even seen a type-C OTG adapter that contains a power input too.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I got one adapter from AliExpress, works fine. You need to search for otg usb-c adapter, not only adapter.

---------- Post added at 20:11 ---------- Previous post was at 19:56 ----------

In OP of jolla kernel it says it has NTFS support. I cant remember when was last time I have needed it, but now with franco kernel I cant. Thats for sure. Maybe I even used it with pixelrom but some other kernel was on, most probably the flash kernel or jolla.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] neilc300:
Charging issue

Sounds like the same issue we probably have all had battery gets critically low, (not really) but phone thinks so and it enters a protective state and just becomes unresponsive. Plug into a high amp output wall charger and just leave it be for at least 3-4 hours or however long it takes it should come back to you with enough time, I am well versed in this problem so are many more people, plenty of documentation out there in most all the relevant forums, good luck

Yup 5x seems to be the most temperamental piece of h/w I've ever given hell to but just when I've thought I finally broken it for good some random idea will pull it back together, I did completely brain damage a 5x by going a bit too far , but they why we have eBay and the "for parts only" category. :p
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Just tried jolla and racer kernel. All need stickmount app to work with ntfs. Even franco said earlier in thread that it has support for r/w ntfs. So i guess thats it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
That's cause Snapchat doesn't let you log in with root, exposed, and a few other mods. Use Magisk Hide.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
I don't know if this ROM is pre-rooted or not, but in my experience most ROMs that come "pre-rooted" actually aren't rooted at all. You still need to flash SuperSU to gain root, so what I usually do is set up my entire ROM, Snap and everything, THEN root.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lonath:
But I was able to use sanpchat before the last update of pixel rom
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
[MENTION=7836278]LazerL0rd[/MENTION]

It seems that all kernels support ntfs as they claim that. ElementalX and franco say we should use stickmount app to have it but as for racer kernel he rachanta said it should work even without. Now, I have only found ways to use it with either stickmount app or without it but only so far with ES file manager which mounted it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Nice. Um, I wished there was a way to have it in the ROM but that would take quite a bit of effort.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] neilc300:
otg works on the 7.1.2 pixel rom without any app...at least it did for me several times. I also know it to work on the original 6.0 base rom. I used otg with the stock kernel on both of the roms and I installed franco on 7.1.2 trying to get a permissive kernel inside the rom before I realized there is no such thing due to the feb. security patches, but otg did work on 7.1.2 with stock, and franco kernels
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Right, but we were talking about NTFS file system formated drives. The drives where you can put bigger files then 4GB if you want to move some HD movie on the drive and also use that drive as OTG not formated as FAT32. FAT is old and slow so if I could have it formated as NTFS and use it as well as OTG.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
No, if you read the post - I've explained all you need to do is download the vendor.img and reflash from fastboot AFTER you've experienced the bug. I'm pretty sure you've already downloaded PixelROM and so just reflash the vendor.img from there and start flashing all your mods again.

---------- Post added at 01:13 ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 ----------

The file I have already flashed is dated 20170202 but tje file you posted over there is 20170203, please advice on that.

So, you are basically saying that we need to flash tje vendor.img from another file wich is factory image 7.1.1 over PixelRom which is 7.1.2? And we do not need rest of the 1.24GB of zip file?

Can we flash it via twrp as image to vendor partition?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
I've posted two links. One for 7.1.2 and another for 7.1.1, PixelROM is on 7.1.2 so just use the vendor that came with that one.

In simple terms, flash the vendor from your ROM manually through fastboot after booting twice into the OS.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Oh, I got it now. Both are with february patches but 7.1.2 is the beta and the other one is not the beta, sorry. Cool.

You are saying fastboot, I know but I have the option to flash image file with twrp I got from jolla kernel. Can I just do that instead of using pc to flash vendor.img?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Must be done from fastboot. At least, that's what works. I believe recoveries are where the problem might be placed, some thing. You could try using "Flash It" but I wouldn't recommend. Fastboot just does the job, no extra stuff to interfere at all.

Edit: 7.1.2 DOES NOT have a February patch. If you read the post a bit more carefully I wrote:

Nxxxxx (7.1.1, Feb 2017) for the latest 7.1.1 that has February patch

&

Nxxxxx (7.1.2 PixelROM, Jan 2017) for the latest beta 7.1.2 that only has January patch

PixelROM is linked in the second one as Google didn't have a download link for their beta updates, and PixelROM uses the stock vendor image. The latest 7.1.2 is still on the January patch.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Ok. Thanks.

So the zip file you posted is having different vendor then posted originally by [MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] or is the exact the same, I mean PixelRom v7.0 (7.1.2)?

Trying to understand the different date. And if not the same, I guess we can keep only newer and dump the other one from storage.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] LazerL0rd:
Date? It's the exact same version as [MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] one. Ohhh the date is cause the website was updated recently and he probably changed it there. I'm not sure but it's the same thing, dw mate.

There's an issue with WiFi settings, also found on the PureZ ROM too. It's to do with the modded settings app, or 7.1.2?
