[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederico151:
Hello, xda. New here. I have a question regarding OnePlus One CM14.1. I saw this thread on xda of a CM14.1 unofficial ROM in OnePlus X. I just want to know if it's compatible with the One, since both are pretty similar in specs. If not, how do I port it? Thank you.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cl0g:
Hi,

you should not try to flash oneplus X rom on the oneplus One. It may brick your device.

there is no need to port it, because our beloved devs will build cm 14.1 for the opo really soon, because 14 got dropped and 14.1 is the latest dev branch, so everyone will jump on the cm14.1 train sooner or later.

If you want to try your luck and knowledge, you can build cm 14.1 for oneplus one from github sources (if there are avaiable)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederico151:
Hey there, thanks for your response. Are you sure they'll make it for the OPO? I'll be waiting but it's boring searching for it every day to ser if it comes out. Thank you, take caré.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elius2676:
Considering it took months for them to have CM 13 for the OnePlus One and that they now have 20% fewer employees, I don't anticipate there being an official CM 14 for a few months. Definitely not worth checking daily - even if it does come out soon, it'll be bare bones CM (minimal features) and highly likely to be buggy.

Will this exploit ever work on this device? Dirty cow?
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] PiousInquisitor:
You have been to the quadrooter thread. Jcase already said it works. Will he ever release an exploit? Probably not.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] micmatt:
Well that sucks. Maybe he might? Or is that a common thing with him? Still new to the Moto thing
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] micmatt:
I see on the news feed that [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] released a root for the pixel. So he does release exploits. I'm still gonna hope that he will be a hero for this phone and release an exploit to at least gain root if nothing else.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jcase:
Other people you know can spend the time/money to do it, it doesn't always have to fall in my lap. LOTS of sample code for this out there

Root alone wont do much for locked variants of this phone, as ive said.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jcase:
I should be blocked because I dont want to spend time (that I dont have)/money (that i dont have enough of)/effort to do something for you on your demand? When I don't see you doing anything but complaining I cant be blocked?
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] micmatt:
No, I understand where he is coming from. I would start to get annoyed as well if I were in his shoes. Like I said I'm new to this Moto thing and still trying to figure the whos who. And I've seen his name mentioned ALOT not only in the feeds here but in the news articles on the loading page of labs. I am working on trying to get a Linux machine, but will probably be after the holidays. I know a little about coding and am looking into learning more of the Linux coding after I get a machine running it. I am in no way as fluent as jcase is, and from what I have read I respect his knowledge on all this. I now know and understand who he is a little better and won't bring him up, unless he is willing to help in some way answering questions and the like. I would also donate, although not much, for him to get a 12 pack and a pack of smokes. I Don't make too much money.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jcase:
LEt me know I can give you resources, I've made up a fair bit of training material. I get more annoyed by people like this guy that think I should give everyone every second of my time.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] micmatt:
Yes I have seen a lot of those codes in my research on other sites. Issue is all require a Linux machine. I have Windows machine. And don't have the money to just up and go get one. But will have the funds after the holidays.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jcase:
Actually you dont need a linux machine, you can cross compile (which you would be doing on a linux machine anyhow since you are compiling for arm). I use OSX for most development, I only use linux if i need to use libusb (for the life of me I cant get it working on osx).

While I have a linux box in my server closet, I don't use it for development. I actually use a raspberry pi if I need a linux box (so i dont have to walk to the server closet if i need to plug something in). These run $5-$35.

Pi3 - $35 - https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-RASP-PI-3-Model-Motherboard/dp/B01CD5VC92

Pi Zero is like $5 if you can find someone not price gouging them. Check MicroCenter.

If you aren't here to help the OP, then move along. Slinging mud at another member, for any reason, is not constructive or acceptable.

Thinking anyone owes you anything on xda is the wrong way to think here. Everyone is here voluntarily and are NOT paid by anyone.

Will read through what you have there this evening, depending on when I get home.

Also seen some articles about running Linux beta on a VM in a Windows 10 environment. Would that also work? Just saw some articles about it, still looking into that as well. Or the raspberry pi 3, that you mentioned, with the preloaded noob sd card? Which is WAY cheaper then the original route I was looking. Thanks again for that suggestion.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] jcase:
VM should work, however be warned usb stuff can be funky, if you plan to ever work with usb i suggest getting a real linux box (even just a pi).

Yes i bought a pie with preloaded os on sdcard, no big deal since I only bought it to use libusb. I mount it over network to my osx box, and ssh in. (did i mention libusb is horrible on osx?)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
I have an A2DP dongle (like this) in my car to play music via the AUX input on my radio. This dongle has worked fine with all my previous phones, including my most recent phone, the Nexus 6p.

When I got my Pixel I set it up and noticed that I have been having a ton of skipping and lagging on the audio when it is playing from my phone to the dongle. Spotify is exempt from battery optimization (it was stopping playback when in the background or with the screen off), so I don't think it's the Spotify app particularly. Another thing I tried which seemed to help somewhat was turning WIFI off. With my Nexus 6p I used Tasker to only turn on WIFI when I was at home (based on location) or when I was at work (based on Google Calendar entries). I decided to leave WIFI on at all times with my Pixel to use the Google WIFI Assistant.

This morning on my drive to work the WIFI being OFF (toggled off with Tasker when my phone connected to the BT dongle) music streamed flawlessly for about 20 minutes before it started skipping and popping, but not nearly as much as it was previously. I am leaving work in a little bit and will see if the results are the same with the WIFI off on the way home.

I am curious what else could be causing the BT interference, or if it could be the BT stream fighting the more aggressive Doze features in Android 7.1? I was driving last night with WIFI on and plugged the phone into the charger in an attempt to see if it would be any batter when not running on battery and hopefully not using battery optimization, but it wasn't any better.

Im looking to change date with forecast. How do i can to do it?

2: There is fast charging, i want to change it for normal charging (not fast) is it possible? If yes where?

Thx
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] silencertk:
You need to enable the weather on your google tab. Something about location. Can't recall right now. Mess around with it

There's just charging. No fast or slow option.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] artframe:
I have a fair question and I am legitimately looking for community opinion. It's unfortunate that, as a noob, I have to ask this, but does being a developer give someone the right to be a douche? I see lots of threads started by developers based on their hard work. I see lots of people benefiting from their work, and I'm sure the compensation is minimal. However, I also understand that, for the majority of developers, this is a hobby, which implies that they enjoy this. Does this give them the right to be a douche to anyone who asks them a question?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
If they reacted a certain way it's because you asked a question that is clearly covered in the OP or can be found with a little searching. Or it has nothing to do with the purpose of the thread. Them being a "douche" is the result of many people expecting to be spoon fed information. This is not a forum where you can just ask whatever, wherever. You need to do the leg work and read, read ,read. And then read some more. If you do decide to ask a question make sure it's relevant to the thread you are posting in. Just because you are running a certain ROM doesn't mean that every issue you have from there on out needs to be posted in that thread. Anything to do with installed apps or themes for example is not a ROM issue. Just be sure to find the relevant threads for your questions and make sure it has not been covered. These forums get clogged up with repeat questions over and over and it is incredibly frustrating. Especially when they continuously tell people this and then literally 2 posts later someone does the same thing when they could have read the last page of posts and got their answer. Or even done a forum search and found all threads with a relevant answers. Everything you could possibly ask here has probably been covered somewhere. But not always. Anyways just give the impression you tried to figure it out first rather than just posting without making any sort of effort.

[MENTION=7828423]artframe[/MENTION]

A majority of developers usually expect users to search for answers that may already been posted in the OP or somewhere else. While this isn't some rule that needs to be followed, this usually removes the duplication of posts that have already been resolved (this doesn't mean that questions are needless, as this is what the Q&A sections are for). There are however plenty of developers who do actively help out their users, and I am sure that they have lives separate from development. If you do ever encounter an issue with another user, just let one of the moderators know and they will be able to sort things out. ;)

If I want to flash the stock boot image, do I just download the whole factory image and extract it from there, wondering in case I want to unroot
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] apascual89:
Yes that would be the way to go.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] artframe:
Thank you for your response... I like to think that the majority of people on these forums are here as a result of a mutual interest in development, to either share their work with the community or learn from those who share. I understand the frustration from those who answer the same questions over and over again. It just seems to me that the snarky responses and name calling I've seen from developers and senior contributors in response to questions that are viewed as trivial or repetitive is counterproductive to that end.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
You are right. Sometimes it's appropriate to be the better person and not respond if the response is going to be inflammatory or disrespectful. I can agree that some devs really are just dicks. But a lot of them are very nice too. Just try not to let the people on these forums get under your skin. People get very passionate about their phones or their work. It gets very personal sometimes. I've found myself in situations where I should have walked away or just not responded. It's hard sometimes. Best thing to do is just report it to a moderator if you feel you are being flamed or disrespected. You can also report devs no matter how big their thank count or Ego may be. All members of these forums, noobs or novice, are expected to treat each other with respect. The Internet is a funny thing. People will do and say things they would never do or say to your face. So don't take it too personally. They probably just need a hug in real life LOL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cthorson910:
I need some help getting my phone back to stock Verizon (to get rid of the elementalX kernel) and then re-lock the bootloader. I was told that I could just flash the factory system image to get rid of the kernel, and then just run the "fastboot oem lock" command to relock the bootloader, but I just was hoping for a little clarification. I confirmed the checksum for the file I downloaded from Google for the NDE63P image, and the picture shows the contents of the folder. What is the correct way to carry out this process? The folder is in my "ADB" folder so If I have to drag the contents up a level, I can easily do that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
Navigate to the marlin-nde63P folder and then execute the flash script by typing "flash-all.bat". When it's done it will reboot automatically. To stop this hold down volume down right when it reboots. It does this after it flashes the user data.img. You will end up back in bootloader. Then just execute the lock command and you are good to go. If the flash all script errors out you need the updated fastboot from SDK platform-tools 25.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Just following, so the command would be fastboot flash all.bat ??
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
No. Batch files run by themselves. It's not a fastboot command. Typing "whateverfile.bat" executes a DOS batch command. This runs whatever script associated. So all you type is "flash-all.bat" and the rest is automated.

I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and running ElementalX kernal on my Pixel XL. On my phone this morning, I noticed there is an Android system update for my Pixel XL. It's 45.6mb and I am debating about whether or not to install it. I searched and haven't seen anyone post anything about this update and thought I would ask here.

Anyone else receiving notification of a Pixel XL system update? Thoughts on installing it? TIA!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Saint George:
Hi.

I would like to know whether Pixel XL is coming in an international version or google releasing only one version of it?

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
It's not a problem to ask questions. You can start as many q&a posts as you want. What bothers most senior users is when people start posting basic terminology questions in development forums. Development sections are for people who know how to unlock and flash custom roms without assistance. The general section is for guides and discussions. Q&A is for people to ask anything they do not understand or to seek one on one assistance with a problem. What most people do is just google whatever they don't understand first. If you can't find an answer through searching the internet, then post a question in Q&A or the noob thread. If you wanted to start a collection of terminology or a guide and be the O.P. (original poster) then start and maintain a list in the general section. There are a lot here willing to help. Most things you post in Q&A won't go un-answered. If someone comes to patronize you in Q&A, then they are a troll and just ignore them. As for your question about a list of stuff applying to the pixel, the stickies in the general section usually have a post with links to useful information. If not. People will start one and then if the mods think it should be included in the stickies links, they will add it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JU57US:
Thank you, that was helpful! I have been treating the subforums (Q&A; ROMS ... Development; Guides ... Discussion) as resources to find different kinds information, but hadn't thought about using them as different places to ask for information. For example, last night I read all 57 pages of the Franco Kernel thread because I have never used a custom kernel, but have a VZW Pixel XL on order - meaning that if I dePixel8 and unlock the bootloader, Safetynet will trip on Android Pay unless I flash a custom kernel. Anyway, there were a few terms in that thread that I didn't understand until several pages later using other "context clues" (never realized something from grade school reading classes would be so danged beneficial, lol). I also saw people post about every 3 to 5 pages the question "does this kernel patch Safetynet so AP can be used?" and some other rude commentary directed at the Dev, people blaming the kernel for something else borked on their phone, etc. I don't want to come across as that kind of member, lol!

So if I have a question about a technical, but seemingly common procedure that I'm reading about in the Dev subforum, I should go back out to the Q&A forum to ask the question? If so, that makes more sense, and I can see how that keeps the Dev forum on topic.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wase4711:
one of the most basic tenets that is constantly violated here is people asking questions in development threads, instead of in the Qand A threads, where they belong..

you can ask anything you want, in a Q and A thread..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Your last paragraph is right on. Often the dev will post a link to a question thread be proper forum. The Pixel forums seem much worse than any on XDA I have ever been on for violating that, and asking the same basic questions over and over, multiposting the same topic in multiple forums and so on.

I think the Pixel is a huge hit and bringing out a ton of new peeps that are just learning.

That said, Franco's thread is not a good example. He has his own methods and is fine with questions, and some OT even. Heck, on the Nexus 6 thread for his kernel we often broke out into cat Memes, with him starting it.

I wouldn't advise that in any other dev thread. :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JU57US:
Great, thanks!

I'm more... re-learning. I've played around a bit, but nothing to any degree other than "follow these steps" and mostly with Samsung devices. I'm wanting to learn more. The only problem now is that my phone is still backordered. But need to be prepared, lol

I did notice his disclaimer to the moderators in the OP and wondered about that.

Next question: One thing that was asked at one point in Franco's kernel thread is whether or not you can hide the phone's complaint at boot when you have an unlocked bootloader, which would be an aesthetic improvement for people with dePixel8'd VZW phones who can't re-lock and unlock the bootloader as they wish. Franco said it wasn't possible, and I was unsure whether he meant that it's not possible simply with a custom kernel, or not possible at all. Even if that complaint is not hidden, could it be masked in some way by a wallpaper? I plan to unlock both my phone and my wife's phone, and if possible I don't want her annoyed with that screen any time she restarts her phone.

Edit: Reddit thread indicates that message used to be controlled by the kernel, but now is embedded in the bootloader and thus impossible to mask or remove. Question seems answered then.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
That is my understanding too.
