I have had this weird issue. I have been using 2.0 WETA for a week now, never rebooted. Today i did my first Reboot and it went straight to TWRP. Now it doesn't boot to ROM. i tried reflashing ROM still no avail! Any help?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
What version of TWRP. Most issues are related to TWRP. You shouldn't be using rc1

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] varun.gid:
Yes i read that that's why i didn't flash it. I was on Alpha 2 itself. Rooted with SR4. what u suggest i do?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yeah that's weird. I'd try changing the boot slot in TWRP and boot into bootloader. Then boot system and see if that boots. If not then you will need to do a flash-all of the stock package, remove the "-w" in the flash-all script that you use to avoid wiping you personal data. If you are unsure which script to use... The flash-all.bat is used for Windows and the flash-all.sh is used in Linux. To be sure just remove all -w from all scripts

Bro ur the Champ! Switching the Slot helped!! Very weird how it automatically changes boot slot :S
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
i am going to be flashing this rom for the first time. i tried to do a OTA manually on stock before flashing this rom, the OTA didnt work and messed up the rom. now my phone shows no OS installed so i did a restore of a backup on twrp alpha2. it boots straight to twrp everytime. any suggestions?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Post #4, start fresh. Making sure you are flashing and booting to the right boot slot

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
i checked the slot to ensure it was on the same one i was always on which is slot b.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

i was able to restore one of my first backups. i am on the base ending in X....can i flash the Q with flashing the vendor first then the rom?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] crossen0:
Is the status bar customizable in this ROM or is it how the developer set up?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
I'm pretty sure people had issues coming from x. No harm in trying though

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
i can confirm, i was on the X base (stock rom), i flashed Q vendor img then weta 2.2.1 rom. all is working perfect.

thank you for the rom.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
I'm on 2.2.1 and can't seem to find the remove navbar feature. I figured it would be in system ui tuner but I didn't see it. Could some kind soul point me in the right direction? Or was it removed in recent updates.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
It's an option of the aroma installer that's configurable at the time you installed the ROM. Are you rooted?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
Oh okay. That makes sense. Yeah Im rooted. I'll have to re install the rom after work and after I install and set up pie controls.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
FYI I noticed there was a DU rom released and then taken down. If any of you flashed that, I'd highly recommend wiping clean before flashing back to WETA. I presume it was full of bugs, and by the look of it the dev didn't know the rules. Including Gapps in a built from source ROM is not allowed.

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piperx:
It's pretty stable, the "devs" have been around a long time, they know what their doing, they left XDA

Mod Edit: Link removed.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

They have separate gapps listed on the same page, the test ROM does have built in gapps, that will change

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

The devs also didn't post that link, I believe a user did
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I'm just assuming a bunch of stuff. Just be careful I suppose.

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
You're correct. It is indeed extremely stable. It has a lot of customization capabilities. It has a few minor issues, but nothing to do with stability. I mentioned those issues in a post here earlier.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
Question....i am now on the latest build of this rom coming from stock build ending in X. I just noticed i am on the kernel from October and probably on the old radio. The files that are provided with this build (kernel, radio) can i just flash them with twrp?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Radio needs to be fastbooted. This can be done easily at any time.

Boot.img can be done in TWRP but if so it in fastboot as well. Be aware you will need to re TWRP and root all over again after flashing a stock boot.img

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] crossen0:
I am on stock, rooted, EX kernel. If I temp boot into TWRP should I wipe, flash WETA, the SuperSU, then EX or Franco after that?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
Boot.img is the kernel?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yes

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheNerdLLC:
With the newest update, can you

Flash on Verizon version?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
Update to what? If WETA 2.2.1 then yes if unlocked..
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Turbojugend:
Any reason after installing this rom Angry Birds is now installing from a factory reset even going completely back to stock, along with another app PAI Test Application 2? Never used either of them before.

Why ask for ETA'S? Number one cardinal sin.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Calm down grasshopper, XL was updated today just curious if we would get tonight or tomorrow.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
WETA 2.3

Deodexed Framework (smaller zip size)

Debloated apps available on playstore

Zipaligned all apks

Different system install method

- No more need for 1.8gb of tmp space for install

Added flash to active boot slot option

- No need to check boot slot anymore

*GoogleTTS will still crash on first boot on a clean install until you update all your google apps. Thats just the way it is. If you ask about this, i slappa yo face.

**Flash a fresh vendor.img BEFORE the rom. Just do it. If you don't, and you post about V4A or Dolby issues, i slappa yo face.

***Volume control issues are related to janky google tts updates. Not a rom issue

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
With regards to the "active boot slot option" if someone uses this option and it works properly, make a comment. I haven't tested it but there's no reason why it won't work.

I never tested a dirty flash on pixel XL version.. you may need to wipe data

Anyone else able to flash and set up 2.3 or is it just me with issues?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
Did a dirty flash of 2.3 on my Pixel after installing the Q vendor.img file, using TWRP Alpha 2, and forced flash to boot slot b. The phone bootloops when the first Google white screen appears. Didn't have this issue with previous versions. I did a full non-wipe flash of the entire sailfish NMF26Q firmware, which got the phone working again. Flashed WETA 2.3 again and the bootloop returned. Tried to go back to WETA 2.2.1, but the bootloop still occurs. I may have to do a factory wipe to get this working, which means Titanium Backup of everything.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
Anyone install the new Super SU SR1 with WETA?

https://download.chainfire.eu/1017/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
Dirty flashed and no issue here.

(Btw, I'm not advocating my way of doing things; however, it's just not like me to ever clean flash anything unless the new ROM is of a different base altogether. Just doesn't make sense unless system files from previous ROM can't be overwritten.)

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

No need to do that if you have a TWRP backup. Just need to restore boot.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
TWRP backup doesn't help here. I can no longer install WETA 2.x without creating this bootloop.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
If you have a TWRP backup, you can always access it via "fastboot boot TWRP.img". It runs it off your PC via bootloader. Just trying to save you a whole reflash exercise. See, as long as I have an unlocked bootloader and a TWRP backup, I can always go back to the point before the backup, regardless whether recovery is working, or any kind of boot looping.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
I am aware of that. It doesn't solve the problem of not being able to install 2.3 without creating a bootloop. And at this point I don't have an uncontaminated backup. So I can either use my phone without WETA, or I can make a titanium backup of all of my apps and data and start from a clean flash and factory reset.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
How's battery been, in the XL thread they are saying is pretty bad
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
Tried dirty flashing. Ended up with a bootloop at the white google screen.

What I tried was:

Reboot to bootloader

Fastboot flash vendor vendorQ.img

fastboot boot twrpA2.zip

Flash Weta 2.3 (Forced and non-forced boot slot selection), elementalX 1.02, and SuperSU 2.79 SR1 and 2.78 SR5

So far, nothing has worked to get it past the google screen. Going to try downloading the boot.img for Q and flashing that. After I will just try to get it to boot without a custom kernel or root.

After my most recent try, when Twrp RC1 booted up, it finally asked me for my pin, so I'm currently trying to install Weta 2.3, EX 1.02 and SuperSU 2.79 SR1 using Twrp RC1.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
I'll let you know later. I don't know how people could know after just a few hours since it came out.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
I get that but if you read the XL thread it's an issue, unlike most flashes take a couple cycles.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
Are we talking about battery life, or something else? As far as battery, I haven't noticed any difference.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
thank you for your time and hard work with this rom and updates!

one feature i ask of you is using the volume buttons to skip to the next track/song while the screen is off if its possible, this is a feature i must have lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
There's an app for that. Sorry that is a built from source mod at this stage.

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] drocny87:
the only app i know of is Pocket Skip Track. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
I don't know why it's working for some people, but WETA 2.3 is completely broken for me. I even tried installing it after completely wiping the phone and doing a fresh reinstall of the OS from a factory image. It still goes into a bootloop a couple of seconds after the Google logo on a white background appears.

I'm guessing that all of the changes that were introduced have resulted in a broken ROM. I'm going back to 2.2.1 until this is resolved.

Update: Scratch that, I can't even go back to 2.2.1. It also creates the boot loop when attempting to install it on a wiped Pixel. I guess I'm done with WETA.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Archangel:
Lets not all get ready to tar and feather the dev LOL,,,he has done a lot for the community,,,more so than any other dev,,,so what,, this is a minor set back,,,I am sure it will get fixed. Can't tell you how many times I have had to set up my phone from scratch getting TWRP to work and that is still not worked out for me LOL.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
Please don't put words in my mouth. I simply can't use a ROM that isn't stable and doesn't work. The only aspect of the ROM I really wanted were the mods that Mentalmuso used to provide separately, but I switched to his ROM because he decided to distribute them only as part of his ROM. Since the ROM doesn't work, there's no point in my wasting my time with it. I need a phone that works reliably, not a "minor set back".
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Archangel:
Holy cow,,,it was just a joke,,,dont stress brother its Christmas time,,,if you want the mods you can add them yourself,,,usually 3 minit is a smali add I am betting the others are not that hard too. No worries and hope you didnt take offense at anything I said.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
do you have a link for 2.2.1
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
I'm sorry, I do not.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheNerdLLC:
Thanks for this Rom, just upgraded to 2.3 from version 1.0.5. Not sure what issues others have had, but I dirty flashed and only lost GBoard.

If you had boot loop, it's probably because you didn't flash the Vendor.img. Just saying! ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
Turns out all was not lost. Instead of banging my head against the ROM itself, I borrowed a suggestion from [MENTION=4113903]stranula[/MENTION]. I took apart the WETA ROM package, found the mods that I wanted installed, and then used the old WETA mod scripts to install them onto the stock ROM. Worked like a charm.

Oh, [MENTION=7889765]TheNerdLLC[/MENTION], I did flash the vendor.img. Hell, I flashed the factory image several times, with the vendor.img included. Didn't make any difference.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Archangel:
Glad you got it worked out.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
I'll repost on wetarom.com

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
Okay so I did a clean install of WETA 2.3. Here's what I did. Verified I was on same slot after each flash/install in Twrp.

1. All bat full install of NMF26Q.

2. Fastboot TWRP and flashed TWRP RC1. Reboot recovery. Hit a snag when back in Twrp all file names were garbled. Reboot recovery again all was fine.

3. Flash EX.

4. Flash SU 2.79 SR1

5. Fastboot vendor.. DID NOT flash it in Twrp

6. Flash WETA 2.3 Reboot system, profit.

Hope this helps anyone who needs it. No errors or fc's on boot. Runs like hot butt'a baby.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] devilsadidas:
Have you tried posting the steps you took and asking for help? The changes did not result in a broken rom as it is working for more people than not. I can't even begin to tell you what to try when you have not said what you did try.. Are you on the newest image? What version of twrp? Did you wipe system and data before installing, dont... Maybe try pulling the vendor.img from the Q zip instead of from rom website. You have literaly done nothing to create a rom or help the community help you but yet want to whine... maybe you should leave XDA alone for a while and wait for absolutely everything to be ironed out because this does not seem to be something for you.

Also his mods were updated not long ago.... 3minute is available in play store...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Got 2.3 to flash finally but i noticed it runs hot for some reason. Anyone else? Running at 41 or 42 °
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Can you try turning wifi off and see if it helps the heat issue.

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Maybe I'm naive in thinking people would read through these threads, I've left 2.2.1 on the wetarom site, for the reason there is an issue with wifi causing battery drain on 2.3. I can certainly pull the 2.3 builds though I was thinking it was better for the community to keep them up and have others help get us through some bugs. I'm super happy that the deodexing of framework didn't cause any issues.. the issues lie with permission setting at flash time.

I and some others are working on all of this, Superr kitchen is also being tested and worked on to provide a good and straight forward method for others and newbs to attempt building Roms for this device. And that's primarily what I'm trying to work towards. Development for the pixel devices in general is way more important than WETA the ROM in itself.

I dunno if that any sense whatsoever

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
Not having any heating issues. Just a figure of speech. All is great buddy:good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Yeah wifi is off, no apps running in background. Stock kernel
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION], your work is much appreciated. I have a feeling wifi may be running afoul here. (Or the constant searching for wifi. )The phone runs warmer than normal, even while app processes are not peeking. Battery lasts about 4 hours on 2.3.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mentalmuso:
Yeah logcats paint a very obvious story.. they are flooded with a qms_hw error. I'm not on 2.3 right now but will be playing with it more later.

--->
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
Your post inspired me to try again. I successfully installed WETA 2.3 with no errors. Apparently it has a lot to do with the order of installation, and a clean install may actually be unworkable right now. Here's my working install process:

1. Fastboot flash-all install with wipe

2. Fastboot TWRP alpha2. adb push TWRP alpha2. Flash TWRP alpha2. Reboot into TWRP recovery.

3. Reboot to system. Set up phone, restore from cloud.

4. Reboot to recovery. adb push SuperSU and ElementalX 1.02. Flash EX and SuperSU. Reboot to system.

5. Restore missing apps and settings using Titanium Backup.

6. Reboot to recovery. Make nandroid backup. adb push WETA 2.3 ROM. Flash WETA ROM, forced to slot B.

7. Reboot to system, phone boots normally without error.

What didn't work:

1. Fastboot flash-all install with wipe

2. Boot to first setup screen. Reboot to bootloader.

3. Fastboot boot TWRP alpha2. Fastboot flash TWRP alpha2.

4. Reboot to recovery. Push/flash WETA 2.3 (or 2.2.1) ROM.

5. Reboot to system, get stuck in bootloop.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GeekMcLeod:
Appreciate this post buddy, thanks! Finally got it up and running. I guess my issue was trying to install EX and SuperSU after flashing weta rom. That is the only thing that you did differently. Glad it works now though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Quadman:
Glad y'all got it going:good:
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skawtnyc:
Confirming the heat and battery drain issue. With WETA 2.3 my phone was running warm and dropped 10% battery in 15 minutes with the screen off. Back on 2.2.1 for now.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] devilsadidas:
I'm not seeing any extra drain on 2.3. I've actually been connected to WiFi though so maybe that's why.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheNerdLLC:
I'm running 2.3, only issue I have is no video call option during call now, any idea on a fix possibly?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] nednednerb:
1) did you boot into stock system and set up device before anything else after "fresh install of the OS"? Do this before messing with recovery and WETA. Let OS settle down.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Yes.. you figured it out. I even had to boot into system once to reliably do ANYthing to boot.img. root kernel too not just WETA.

Something gets setup in first boot on factory image flash that "readies" the device or at least maximizes compatibility of the other flashing processes.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shindiggity:
Yeah things are weird for sure, i tried flashing today several ways with alha 2 and kept getting boot loop. Before giving up I said well let me flash rc1 and it finally booted.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] devilsadidas:
I removed my home network from my phone, did a full charge and left WiFi on and not noticing any excessive drain still yet. I did delete all of the vzw, sprint, and projectfi apps but other than that I'm just rooted with no other changes

Latest one from SDK download.

There >is supposed to be a vendor_a and vendor_b partition as well as boot_a and boot_b partition.

If you manually flash, it is recommended to flash to both _a and _b slots.

If you flash-all the factory image, it automatically flashes images to both slots.

Oh. Yes. Sorry I was very sleepy and couldn't think last night. How do I tell the command print to flash to both? I have seen some mixed answers online on how to gay boy install on the pixel. Would that be why when I flashed TWRP, it wouldn't boot to the OS?
