Dirty flashed over 2.0 and it went fine but I did reflash SU and ElementalX just to be sure they stuck. I used TWRP alpha2 because RC1 is a mess. Haven't tried the Gboard yet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
If you were previously using Google keyboard, then Gboard is the updated version of it. You'll be already using it. If there was no Gboard crash on bit then that's great.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
No crash for me here bro. Everything looks good with just a dirty flash
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
Gboard works fine, substratum theme and custom fonts had to be redone but that's no surprise.

Thanks for all the work you do for us flashaholics!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
When you say redone do you mean just that the theme needed to be re applied? If there are ever any issues with Gboard just go into play store and uninstall the Google keyboard update. I made it install as a data app so it could be uni stalled easily

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
Yeah just reapplied, no big deal. Use to happen with Layers everytime when I updated Pure Nexus ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oryanh:
Come again?

So, This ROM supports OMS ? -Were you using legacy in substratum? Which Theme did you apply?- and did you omit any portion of the theme, like "android System"?

Thanks! and sorry for all the questions, this made me tingle a little.

:)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
I tried with both versions in case it was a twrp issue, and to other reply I did flash kernel and supersu when I did still didn't boot somehow. All is well on 2.0 will try again later
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
Substratum with the Swift Dark Substratum theme works fine with 7.1.1 and with the WETA ROM (the Black Swift one works too, but not any other theme that I've found). Also the navigate theme for the navbar works pretty well but it leaves a yellow center to the home button. No, I didn't omit any part of it. Just switched that toggle to on and applied everything in there. It works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oryanh:
Excellent, Thank you!

FWIW, I was able to get Mono/ART, and Spectrum working if you omit "Android System".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thcue:
Upgraded from 2.0 Dirty Style. Added 2.1 + Ex Kernel 1.01 + SuRoot5 = Profit. No issues. THought I'd report in and yes this is TWRP RC1 works Perfect.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Gboard works OK but I uninstalled because I didn't like the little arrow always up on the left side and some other little things.

My eyes thank you for the black boot animation ?

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Yeah Swift black has a google Pixel option in Substratum that uses the new blue highlights and looks sick.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Felix_222:
I'm running stock 7.1.1, RC1, SR5, EX1.01 and substratum black. Can I dirty flash 2.1?

Which "android version" did you choose? I went into bootloop last time because I selected the wrong version
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
v7_1 works as does v7_1_Google Pixel. The Google Pixel one has that nice blue accent in settings and a few other places so it looks best as Reechings noted above.

Yeah, I dirty flashed but RC1 doesn't install supersu on mine so I have to use alpha2 to get WETA, SU, and elementalX to stick together. The substratum themes have to be reapplied after you update/flash WETA 2.1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nrage23:
I had root and elemental x on 2.0 and dirty flashed 2.1 with TWRP RC1 with no issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Felix_222:
So I might lose root by flashing 2.1 over stock 7.1.1?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
That's exactly what happened to me, I tried several times to get SR5 to flash with RC1 and it wouldn't, reverted back to alpha2 and it flashed right away and stuck. There's a post a little ways back where mentalmuso mentions this, that's how I knew to go back to alpha2.

See posts 450 and 480 about the RC1 problem
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] docluv01:
Could I ask what Items you selected when you applied this theme?

I just selected "all" and brickeded my phone.

Was able to get into recovery and re-install WETA.

TIA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 3aucla1r3:
I selected all as well but you have to specify v7_1 or v7_1_Google Pixel in the drop down before you install it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shindiggity:
How did you get Spectrum to work, what were you able to install
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oryanh:
Everything worked except for "Android system". Checking that on any of the OMS themes will likely cause a boot loop. But of course, Android system is where all of the "pretty stuff" lives, without it you end up with either white on white text or black on black making text invisible.

NMF26Q

Im aware of this update and am working on it. Shouldnt take too long for an update to WETA. Cell reception fixes apparently.

WETA 2.2

Im pretty sure all the boot.img, radio.img and bootloader.img are the same as "O". Though id flash vendor just in case.

Can anyone confirm dirty flash works for 2.2?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Did you flash vendor before rom if not you need to flash vendor, then if you use viper4android you need to reflash rom after

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

Also my brightness slider in notification has disappeared somehow and dirty flashing from 2.0-2.2 didn't help. Is there any way to get it back without wiping data? Really don't want to do that if possible at least right now I don't.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Try it with 2.2 and let me know how it goes with restore on twrp not working for me I do not have hours to re-set up my phone again so if u wouldnt mind trying it would be greatly obliged.

Thanks

Jordan
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Yes you can do it in twrp. Mental has a link to it on his download page
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Did you play with system UI tuner? I lost mine for a little while until I figured out what setting I changed (had to do with clock seconds I think)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Did you dirty flash from 2.0 with elemental already installed.....? I don't want to get stuck in a boot loop with no backup really working for me?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Yes I just figured it out as soon as you said that, I'm stupid lol. With system ui tuner being wonky it was hard to find what did it. Thanks

Yes. What I did though was just flashed vendor for new rom version, rom, reflashed kernel, supersu
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
OK so you flashed the q vendor img? Were you on the O firmware/vendor image?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Yes sir. Flashed Q img, rom, reflashed ex, supersu, rebooted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
But people are saying you can't flash su5 on twrp rc1??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
I'm on alpha 2 still because I heard people still have issues on rc1, alpha 2 does fine for what I need it to do
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
But you can't back up and restore on alpha 2?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Too sketchy to me still so I personally won't upgrade it till at least rc2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Did you flash the q vendor img through twrp?

What order did you dirty flash from Weta 2.0 in?q vendor img, su then rom then kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airric00:
Initially I flashed ROM only. Then I tried IMG then ROM. I came from 2.0. so I should go back flash vendor IMG, then su, then ROM, then which kernel? Im using elemental

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

Went back did full wipe. Seems to be working now. Have to reload everything, but at least it's working. I'm on 2.2 and elemental 1.1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] s1dest3pnate:
There needs to be some clarity made to when flashing vendor is needed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Anyone?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
No problems here. I've used it to flash the latest SU, and the last three versions of WETA.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
I have never had an issue with TWRP RC1

I think it's either bad downloads,user error,or maybe depending on current firmware.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Thats funny... I feel like I'm mentioning flashing vendor, before the ROM, 3 times a day. I also state it in post #1 in red, post #3 in red and also post #4, or is that not enough. It seems like people just need to read in my opinion.

[emoji1]

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] s1dest3pnate:
What about where you replied to me separately and said it wasn't needed? There's inconsistency in instruction and in different places. Just saying it should be tidied up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I give up, it's not that difficult. You were on the latest version of stock, I was just trying to save you a step. Maybe I should've just said follow the op.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] s1dest3pnate:
And I appreciate it. I'm saying it should be tidied up for the same reason, to save some time for someone else too.

Maybe the reasoning/why should be given so we can have a full understanding which would prevent any need for clarification.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nrage23:
It is very very simple. You need to flash vendor image only if the firmware base of the rom is different than the firmware currently on your device.

Example:

You are on Weta 2.1 and want to flash Weta 2.2.

Weta 2.1 is based off of Firmware NMF26O

Weta 2.2 is based off of Firmware NMF26Q

YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE VENDOR IMAGE FOR NMF26Q.

If you are on Weta 2.1 and want to reflash Weta 2.1. You do not need to flash vendor.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I hope you don't mind but I pulled the 36nav bar mod and CC mod from the ROM and installed them on stock NMF26Q for now. V4A is working fine on NMF26Q as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
People, people, people. Take the time to read. Most of the problems people are having is because they refuse to read the whole post. New build number? New vendor, flash it. TWRP RC1 doesn't flash SU, read the second post. It tells you right there that you have to delete a file in order to flash SU. Nobody is here to spoon feed us, educate yourselves.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Thats fine. Just don't share it outside of this thread.

I'm still on 2.0 but I have a question. Was anyone able to get Verizon's wifi calling to work on this ROM? I can't manage to get it to work. It never activates
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I don't have any intentions on sharing it. :good:

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

I'm not sure if it directly works in 2.2 but if you flash the NMF26Q factory image, activate WiFi calling, then flash 2.2 it will work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Really?, I wonder why that is. I have noticed some things I could try activating in framework that refer to volte and wifi calling. I'll take a look tonight

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nrage23:
I am on 2.1 and Wifi Calling works on Verizon. Version 2.2 is based on a Non Verizon firmware so it may not work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
So I decide to do a full wipe and install NMF26Q then install WETA 2.2. I got stuck in a bootloop at the google screen and did a full wipe/flash of NMF26Q but I still can't get past the google screen and I'm getting the following errors in fastboot.

Created filesystem with 11/7487488 inodes and 518062/29939712 blocks

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] s1dest3pnate:
It's simple after you explain it. There is fragmented and contradicting info everywhere. People are quick to tell someone to read, but to what extent? We have to read through the whole thread (every page/post) to see if there's something else we need to consider and factor in? For flashing vendor.img specifically, one line to explain "why" should be included: if your build is different build than the base build of this ROM, you must flash vendor.img of the base build's ROM before you flash this ROM. And for example, the #4 post for instructions still mentions flashing NMF26O vendor.img, but the base build of this ROM is now NMF26Q right? So someone's going to read that instruction and the ROM is going to break and it's going to result in lots of wasted time on many people's parts.

Don't get me wrong - I appreciate this ROM and the work that's being put into it, but we need to take the time to be efficient and help each other out. The OP should have all of the needed up-to-date info in a clear and concise manner.

Has anyone noticed dropped calls on this update.

Or where the other caller could not hear you. I am hoping that issue was fixed
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] calbruc:
I'm still on 2.0, but that's the same base build and have never been able to activate Wi-Fi calling. I also have issues with HD calling--inbound calls (from capable phones) are HD, outbound calls are not.

There are other threads about this, but a number of Verizon users are having problems. I've been meaning to give them a call. Might be SIM-related.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
Lol, I love how an amazing contributor and rom creator makes an update, and then as a POSSIBLE option to save a little bit of time and headache on setting everything up, says you may be able to dirty flash without vendor.

So that didn't work... What do you do... You suck it up and go to op, find full instructions and full wipe/ full stock/ and fully follow instructions. Not try to rip someone for trying to give you an easier possibility on something they are GIVING you anyway.

This is why so many devs have such a hard policy of if you didn't fully wipe/ stock/ follow every instruction to the T I will not help. Because when they try to throw an extra bone some lil pup says it isn't good enough.

So in response to Your quoted, and in agreement with you, I also say

Good ?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joey827:
That's strange, because mine had worked perfectly up until about ten minutes ago. It started after I accidentally clicked a strange convolver at the top that looked like "%25&..." or some nonsense, and then crashed before I could change the convolver to a working one, now I can't get to it. Does yours get an error message or crash report
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Try going into a root explorer and delete all the convolvers. You need to delete them by going into /data/media/0/ViPER4Android.. there is a permissions issue I think

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
