Hi,

One question please: Can I flash Magisk (v13.6 - 1360) into the Rom ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
[MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION]

You work so fast!! If you continue aa fast as now, in a few days we will have here a stable version of 8.0. Also the green accent color of android aosp is very ugly. Blue accent is more pretty.

I really appreciate your work.:o
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kahntran:
oops :|

TWRP says no OS installed after flashing. Any ideas, guys ?

Edit: Silly me, I should have read the Instruction. When you are in TWRP, just wipe Data + Cache (no Dalvik or anything else). And the booting is about 5 mins or more. Be patient, cause this rom is awesome :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Agus8k:
[MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] can u provide me pixel bootlogo for stock Oreo?

Those who are stuck in BOOTLOGO.

Please flash the bootloader and radio from the Android O factory zip.

You will boot fine!

How to install updates without loosing Data

Hello Guys,

I am newbie to this process of installing ROMs.

As the OTA is closed from PixelRom now , *How to install new updates without loosing any DATA* (the way it happens in OTA updates) ?

Please let me know the steps ?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Riskypedia:
Thanks for your hard work, argraur.

Different to your description, it's okay to view photo via google camera app, but I get fc in photo app when I zoom in. This also happens when I use camera app, but it's okay when I just see photo w/o zoom. Can you check this?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Aman301582:
Any other way to download these files? I'm on limited data don't want to download whole factory image.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
You anyway need to flash those files via PC so you download them to pc and flash via fastboot if you know how.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dimitrispas22:
can i install it from OTA or download it and do a dirty flash?

Flash oreo factory image, boot into twrp then perform TWRP default wipe option(don't wipe system) then flash the rom. It'll work well
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Joyarup:

Thanks for the superfast update man. Working smoothly so far.

I first tried installing over the last pixel rom (7.1.2 base) after wiping, device got stuck in bootloop.

Then I flashed the factory OREO image.

Booted.

Put the PixelROM 8.0 zip back in

Flashed TWRP

Did default TWRP wipe

Installed the PixelRom 8.0 zip.

Went smoothly.

One bug apart from mentioned ones:

Can't turn ON *OK Google* got word detection from assistant settings

hello argraur

thx for your hard work.

please can you post a new guide to update from pixel 7.5 to 8.0

thanks

openyourmind
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ryder.:
You can't update to this new pixel rom. Stop writing about update. The rom has a new android version and is based on aosp. You have to do a clean install or wipe data/cache. But first flash the factory images of android 8.0
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iKahn:
Hi,

I can help you with updating to 8.0. But it will wipe your data, your apps. Or I can point you to a better way: use titanium back up. This way it can save your data, but I have no idea about. So you will be on your own.

Back to the original way:

1. Go to https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/download.html -> down Android O image.

2. Unzip it.

3. Connect ur phone to PC with USB.

4. Install adb (use this link: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html )

5. Enable USB debugging.

6. Unlock bootloader (you can google it, it will be easy)

7. Reboot to bootloader

8. Type: fastboot devices -> to make sure everything is fine. It should be "List of devices: [some number i dont know what is it] authorized"

9. Back to the unzip file, move all of it to adb folder. Then run flash-all.sh (On Windows systems, use flash-all.bat instead).

10. Wait till your phone reboot.

11. Enable usb debugging again.

12. Copy this awesome Pixel Rom to your phone.

13. Flash twrp

14. Wipe data, cache.

15. Install Pixel Rom

Enjoy. :D

@argraur

I hope you will add the pixel splash image. I refer the first you see once you power up the phone, the white background with the multicolor google logo. We actually have the Nexus one, black with white letters.

There was a situation that I can use PiP, but manually active it with a button on navigation bar.

I was on Stock with Custom Navigation Bar app, no root. And I add the extra button on the left and right, one with a Keycode '171'.

When I press the button, then it does active PiP (for example: Youtube, Youtube on Chrome etc). What do you think about this ?

I am hoping with finger crossed that Google left the features on Nexus 5x (without active but has name on it) to have developers does it or they maybe will update it in the future.

I just want to understand more if there are unchangeable things then I will update my way of thinking :D

Please excuse for my poor English :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shrey2210:
ny Hey Im on this current rom and Im experiencing a bootloop caused due to god knows why I'm using your bootloader which is not fastboot. I'm not even able to enter recovery mode as it keeps bootlooping when I press home and volume down button together to enter recovery. I cannot use the ways mentioned online as my device is not recognized by fastboot due to your different bootloader. Please Help ASAP.

Can you also help me replace your bootloader with the normal default stock bootloader

Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] agmtpd:
There is no such problem in bootloader of any PixelROM versions.

Press and hold power + volume down for at least 10 seconds while phone bootloops...you should see fastboot screen next..

Flash OREO factory images then flash TWRP and then the flash pixel ROM through TWRP.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shrey2210:
Please check the screenshot attached below. It's that bootloader and not fastboot. I tried as you said. I have even installed twrp and tried going there but I'm not able to. It's stuck in a bootloop and I tried getting the battery down to 0% and retrying. If only fastboot worked for me and I could get rid of the bootloader (screenshot attached below) Please help me.

Thank you.

anyone know why?

I hadn't bar animations too. I changed my language from spanish to englih and now have animations. This is because the animation is for google assistant. I you don't have the assistant activated or it doesn't support your language, won't have the animation

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Flash android oreo stock. Then, install twrp and do a data factory reset. Install pixelrom and let it start. If it doesn't start, reboot.

It will work if you follow this steps.

One more thing, are you trying to install 8.0 over 7.5 without wiping first?

[MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION] in the update 2017/08/24 there are still camera and recovery bugs?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
Yes

Edit: camera bug is not present.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] argraur:
By the way I don't think that AOSP recovery is not a bug, it is a security feature:o
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
But you can find a method to prevent AOSP recovery overwriting TWRP, isn't it?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ryder.:
Ok. Thanks. Could you check if the cool color option is present in developer options?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
Do you mean the option picture color option? I enable it but if i leave the menu or lock the screen, the option is deactivated automatically again.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] starxeon:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ryder.:
No. There isn't. :( I need it because the replaced display on my nexus 5x has the yellow color temperature issue

---------- Post added at 00:55 ---------- Previous post was at 00:52 ----------

It's based on aosp because the navigation bar can't be themed on stock

It could be true but i think stock is better and more stable or optimized
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
Wrong post

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

Why can't navigarion bar be optimized on stock?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Riskypedia:
No one else have done this, apktool isn't working properly.... Also deodexing is different from previous versions.

And the biggest thing is that actually it's not that big deal it's stock based or not. Same structure, same source...

Seeing an odd bug where the status bar randomly goes partially off screen.

Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, just using an app then when going back home, pixel launcher does a redraw and the status bar does this.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mr.notsotech:
how are you guys installing twrp after you install the pixel rom?

for some reason it defaults back and encrypts itselft and wont let me boot it back?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ReeceDial:
I tried both of this method and the one described by [MENTION=8463945]Divyam123[/MENTION] (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73526639&postcount=6091) and I am stuck in a bootloop. I can get to TWRP and seemingly flash zips just fine, but as far as booting goes I only get so far as the very beginning of a boot animation - whether in Pixel ROM, Oreo Dev Build, or Stock Nexus, all have the same result. I can't get any ROM to load up. Any suggestions or should I just warrenty?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fdgd1998:
Well, i don't know what can be the problem. But if the phone can't boot up with the stock rom, i would take the warranty.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I think jolla kernel has the option in it's aroma installer to fix the yellow screen. Just check if it's compatible with this build of rom.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Divyam123:
The same thing happened with me I was able to boot up to the bootlogo in pixel room but not completely boot up so I tried flashing a the factory version of Android but that didn't work as well it wouldn't go beyond the first boot Google logo so I flashed twrp and flashed the pixel rom with twrp cleared data cache and dalvik cache and flashed bootloader and radio with pc from the factory images

BTW first boot may take some time

Hope this helps,

[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
I don't think I need to flash radio, bootloader, and vendor since I'm already on stock O (full factory image), so that stuff's already there. But then again, who knows. Android is strange and Google does weird stuff.
