well boys,

i have called Bell about 5 times trying to get them to give me something i can be happy with.

right now i'm paying $100 for my data plan which includes 1gb. that's wayyyyy too much and i told them about the Telus $15 plan. they refused me and i terminated my contract with them as of next month. so anyone that wants to buy a Bell 6800 leave me a msg.

screw Bell to Hell!! and i was a loyal customer for 5 years!

im gonna miss my phone number :(
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lugom:
You don't have to. If you subscribe with another carrier before the end of your contract with Bell, you can ask the new carrier to carry you current phone number with them. It's almost instantaneous. That's a law in Canada now. That's what I did when I went from Fido to Telus this summer. And, if data is really a must have for you, you can always go with Telus and ask for the 15$ unlimited data plan explaining your coming from competition (and still retain your number.) If they say they can only give the plan if you choose the Touch (and if you don't want this device), insist on the fact that you know peoples that owns P4000 and got this very plan with their current device. I know I do, as many others.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] 1magine:
cool thanks. is there anyway i could use my Bell 6800 on the Telus network?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jeanfnoel:
Illimited data plan still going on?

Hi,

6 months later, do anyone of you still have the 15$ illimited data plan? I've called Telus and they tell me there's no illimited data with this plan...8$/Mb!!!???

Thanks for your help

[Mogul, XV6800 General] jeanfnoel:
Anyone could reply so I can call back Telus...please...:o
[Mogul, XV6800 General] hlouie:
I asked Telus Mobility to add it to my existing contract Dec 2007 with my PPC-6700(Apache), Feb 2008 I've moved to a PPC-6800/P4000(Titian), contract will end Apr 2009.

The bill still states "Unlt'd Personal Email & IM 15", I'm using about a 100megs of data and about 10megs tether data a month.

Yes, I'm still on the $15 ulimited data plan and it's F$%^ amazing:cool:, I never thought I would use that much data but when its unlimited.

The deal started in July 2007 if you had a $45 voice plan, about 4 years of existing service they could add the $15 unlimited data any phone other than Blackberry's. Oct 2007 to counter Bell's offer the voice requirement drop to $30 and still no Blackberry.

In late March 2008 co-work recently tried to sign up for the plan but no go the offer expired in Feb 2008 and he's been a 11 year customer of Telus. This is the standard offer now http://www.telusmobility.com/bc/plans/pcs/email_all.shtml

The only thing to do is drop everything and move to Bell for the HTC Touch and $7 data or wait for the iPhone to start some more competition.

I still would like the $7 from Bell Mobility but it's locked to the HTC Touch and non-pda phone. I've asked Bell if I purchased the HTC Touch with $7 data could I switch to another phone while retaining the data. NO NO NO they will charge you standard data rates.

GOOD LUCK
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jeanfnoel:
Thanks for your info. I can't find that 7$ data plan you're talking about on Bell's website though. The cheapest plan I see is 15$/month and its not illimited: 2 Mo/month!!!:eek: Are you in Canada??

I just want the right info before I call back Telus...

Thanks again.

trying to flash a cyanogenmod rom onto my rooted phone with TWRP.

Everything okay up to the point on installing the new rom (a zip file).

here's what i get as an error message:

***********

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/<rom_name_here>.zip'

error flashing zip

updating parition details...

...done

****************

I've tried with all the recent cyanogenmod builds for the htcone m9 and I get the same error everytime. Even when i try to sideload from my computer in adb.

I've also seen this error in other forums and they have suggested doing certain wiping procedures and reboots, but I've tried them all and I've gotten nowhere.

any ideas?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pipspeak:
Has anyone has gone this route -- bought a pixel through the Project Fi website with no intention of actually using Fi? Sounds like the only way to do it is to pay for at least one month of Fi service before canceling. Is this correct? Or is it possible to buy through Fi without incurring any additional cost over and above the price of the phone?

I'm curious to try Fi for a month to see if it offers anything worthwhile, but I'll probably simply buy the phone and stick with T-Mo for their rebate.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tempguest:
That's exactly how I did it. I've been charged nothing through Fi. They send you a Fi SIM card and, as I understand it, until you activate that SIM card, you don't incur any bill with them.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] frshka01:
I ordered through Fi. Tried Fi for a few weeks. Wasn't a fan of Fi. Cancelled the service and popped my Verizon SIM in. Magical!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pipspeak:
So I presume you just had to pay for the first full month of Fi ($20) plus any data?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] frshka01:
Correct! $20 to access the network and they charge you by the megabyte. I paid something like $74 for the first month. I had the 5 GB plan. The rest of the amount was taxes. I'm going to get a discount due to me not even finishing out the month.

Try Fi out to see if it's right for you. You can cancel with no consequences if you don't like it. It just wasn't for me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ShivaSmith:
I bought my Pixel on Google Store but "added the free Fi sim". I wanted to love Fi, but T-Mobile call quality at my house was horrible, mostly... call quality was even generally bad on WiFi calling.

I switched my Pixel back to AT&T and all is good again.

If Fi could improve call quality and/or add in bigger networks it could be great... but in my experience it can't come close to competing with AT&T on call quality.
[Google Chromecast 2015] aggro600:
I own a Minix X7 but i want to have the Chromecast Feature. A few years ago it works with cheapcast on my minix. Is there any way to get it on my minix because i don't want to use a hdmi splitter, bacause i have to switch beween chromecast and minix by myself.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Welcome....

I just wanted to start by saying, we all know things are a little bit different with the setup of a pixel device. I think i have a handle of things though there is always a chance of death... i mean crash. Just please, always backup.

Also i am pointing scripts etc to partition slot system_a. Im still not exactly sure if you will come across problems when things update but i suppose we will see.

Now with regards to TWRP and Root. Please read up carefully on these two subjects as they are both pretty young at the moment. Flashing TWRP will be the first thing you need to do. After that, flashing a kernel as i am not including one at this point. Maybe later... If you have come from the same firmware then you wont need to flash a kernel, or vendor etc for that matter. Just boot into TWRP and flash the rom. If you wipe data, you will need to flash SuperSU SR4 after the rom, just to get the SuperSU app back into your app drawer. If you dont wipe data, then the SuperSU apk should still be there along with root binaries.

The zip is big, and will get smaller as time goes on. At this stage there is no real debloating, unpacking and repacking of the system.img hasnt been done yet, so the whole thing is in there at this stage. Also because this rom is based off of stock a stock google android prebuilt image, this means you dont need to flash Gapps. In fact dont, itll break things.

On a wiped data, first boot, i did notice Google TTS crashes though after the play store updates, this goes away. Also if other google apps are crashing because you're lazy and didn't wipe data. Then try uninstalling the apps updates in the play store and reinstalling.

EDIT - One more caveat, you are going to need an extra 1.7gb of free space just for the rom flash, this is on top of the actual size of the zip. I have had to have the system.img extract to a tmp folder before flashing, this gets wiped on boot, so you get that space back after reboot.

I think thats all....

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Odds and Ends, Tricks to getting broken things working again

This is a very general post, and can possibly be used on other phones and roms.

My SystemUI keeps crashing, even after a fresh stock install...

If SystemUI is modified, and this modification causes a crash, this can damage the runtime data for systemui. This means that even though you flash a bone stock systemui, it may still crash on boot. Wiping all data fixes this, though that is a pain in the butt. All you need to do is go to, and delete /data/system/users/0/runtime_permissions.xml. You can do this in TWRP file manager. Reboot, job done. This will reset your wallpaper but who cares.

V4A keeps asking to install drivers, or V4A stops processing...

This is a constant issue people have, except for me...... what does this mean? it means i, as a rom dev, am constantly and consistently wiping data and sdcard for testing purposes. This tells me one thing i think is obvious, but of course i may be wrong, bad data will kill V4A. But i will say that flashing a stock vendor.img AFTER the rom will break V4A and Dolby (flash vendor.img before rom). SuperSU is crucial. If in doubt, flash the supersu zip again after rom install. V4A and Dolby both need selinux to be set to permissive. This is achieved with SuperSU and its boot scripts. Also Spotify will stop processing sometimes if a track plays through to the next by itself. (Skipping tracks isnt affected). This bug can be remedied by turning off gapless playback.

My only question is about the kernel part. I am on the latest v verizon rom already, do I need to flash a kernel or just flash the rom then su?

Correction, I'm on the x verizon build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I looked at the aosp images site today and it states that V isn't the Verizon one but in fact that X firmware is. It's pretty confusing. But regardless, if you are already on V, and you are already twrp and rooted, then you can literally just flash the ROM over the top. If you also don't wipe data, then you will keep the SuperSU app.

Edit.. all the firmwares seem to have all the apks needed for Verizon anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewebsiteisdown:
That's my fault bub. I'm actually on X which is Verizon. Sorry for any confusion.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mrjaydee82:

It's telling me there's a system update. I just turned the auto system updates off in the developer options.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Really? System update? That may be because your were on X
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mike02z:
X is later than V. I wouldn't think it would want to go back to the V radios.

Thanks for the first flashable ROM!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewebsiteisdown:
Maybe I should take it lol.. It says it's only 18MB. I did wipe data cache and dalvik through twrp just so you know, before flashing.

I get an error saying there's an internal problem with your device contact your manufacturer for details when I reboot for some reason to but, I click ok and everything seems to be working? Verizon pushed their apps to my phone when it all booted up but I removed them and they were not there at first.

Either way I love it so.

Added screenshots in case you want to see what I am referring to. The LTE service kicks in fine just so you know, I see it captured no sim blah. I just captured the screen shot to fast is all.

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
the internal error problem comes from a mismatch with vendor build.prop and system build.prop. This kinda indicates that you didnt flash vendor. Or if you did it didnt flash. Try that again.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I would have thought it would work fine with custom kernel. But you need to make sure it's flashed before flashing SuperSU.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajm_:
1)Make sure you have unlocked you're bootloader, developer mode, and have checked USB debugging.

2)Flash TWRP here is the XDA Thread for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500312

3)Once in TWRP please select Reboot it will prompt you several different options and on the bottom you will see your two partition slots please select "A" and proceed to reboot to the boot-loader. Once rebooted on the bottom left of you're screen it will show the letter a in lower case if done correctly.

4)Download & Install Skipsoft's Android Kit:

Thread for instructions:

5)Select 08 for Pixel XL, then hit 09 and option 1/2 to download a fresh 7.1 image to flash for a clean install once completed redo option 1 (Unlock Dev mode and check USB debugging)

6)Re-Flash TWRP, then select WIPE and checkmark just SYSTEM & DATA

7)Flash Rom

8)Flash Superuser from CF-ROOT. The zip file you need is right here:

At step 6...

a) boot twrp img

b) Flash latest twrp zip (flashes across a&b slots by itself)

c) Flash supersu sr4 zip

d) Flash Ex kernel 1.0 zip (if choose)

e) Flash Weta Rom zip

Supersu remains even after kernel & rom flash thus far (even tho process is backward from previous phones...)

Every time I've tried this. Followed the two steps above me. I continuously boot into a stock rom. This is seriously confusing to me because I wiped system, flashed weta, how would that equal a stock rom? I end up with no root and a stock rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ajm_:
The only way you can flash this ROM is if you're on the partition A slot. Have you flashed a clean rom? What version version of 7.1 are you on as well? Once you flash the SuperSU.zip at bare minimum you should be rooted. Can you give me more details so I can help?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
Well actually i have stock root now, i was using SR3 on the latest verizon build(NDE63X), turns out sr4 worked better and i actually have twrp and root now. When i was flashing WETA i had used skip's toolkit to flash a completely stock rom. I would go through all the steps of booting twrp, then flashing it, flashing rom, flashing supersu, i installed WETA to slot A, but for some reason when it boots it seems stock, no SU, no add ons i selected like audio mods or reboot app. So not sure what i did wrong ive tried following the complete steps posted shortly above.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Have you tried checking what boot slot is active in bootloader? its a good place to start.

TWRP can change which slot you boot to.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
Yeah ive made sure it Says A

Ran through everything i have all the mods now actually just re tried everything. Am i supposed to have a clean install to the rom like have to set everything up again? Cause i have all the WETA mods now and root with EX kernel but figured id be booting into a setup lol regardless i think i sorta have it now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rahhfue:
Yesterday I managed to switch from stock to weta ROM, I had some issues at first but later managed to fix everything and use the Sharkey kernel.

Today I set everything up as it was before and started optimizing everything when I realized that viper 4 Android didn't install the drivers correctly. Now I'm sitting here since 2 hours, trying to fix that, but I can't find any solution...

In the first screenshot you can see my driver status (while playing music)

In the second one I realized that musicFX is still installed, shouldn't that be removed whilst using viper? (Before using weta ROM on my 6P I always removed musicfx and some system files to get viper working but on weta ROM music FX usually was already removed and the system files didn't seem to bother viper in any way, so I stopped doing anything myself).

I'm afraid to play around with anything before asking here, because I won't be able to restore this setup before Friday...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
Had the same issue, solved by using the older version of the mods instead of the v2.5

1. Download mod removal zip

2. Install this app "Root Browser"

3. Extract the zip (click and hold, select extract) using Root Browser directly into Download folder. (you should have /sdcard/Download/WETA_*** as folder with files in it)

4. Go into Download/WETA_*** folder and select WETA-flash.sh

5. Tick "Execute script as root"

6. Then select the Execute button

7. It will say "Executing script"

8. Once complete you should have a popup box with no errrors.

9. Reboot device and mods should be gone....

Then

1. Download mod zip

2. Go into root browser again

3. Extract the zip (click and hold, select extract) using Root Browser directly into Download folder. (you should have /sdcard/Download/WETA_*** as folder with files in it)

4. Go into Download/WETA_*** folder and select WETA-flash.sh

5. Tick "Execute script as root"

6. Then select the Execute button

7. It will say "Executing script"

8. Once complete you should have a popup box with no errrors.

9. Reboot device and mods should be installed....

Driver was working right away with v2.3 for me in V4A
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rahhfue:
I tried the way you suggested but whilst executing both Scripts Errors in a high quantity appeared (the second script only returned errors and no Output) so I just reflashed the latest WETA-Rom-zip changing the Viper Versions and:

SUCCESS

Conclusion:

V.2.5 isn´t working at all (on my setup) and V.2.3. is.

New Question:

Why is V. 2.5 not working? Can this be changed in any way or do we/I have to wait for "official" help (mentalMuso or Viper etc.) ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
Yeah should have mentioned I reflashed with 2.3 instead figured maybe the remove script would help but that's only with stock roms I guess. Not sure but in the same boat as you only 2.3 works properly
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
If you are flashing the ROM zip and it's not working then you have a data issue. Only way around it is to wipe data.

Also make sure if you are flashing vendor, that you do it before flashing ROM.

Script errors on the standalone mod only happen if the instructions aren't followed perfectly. Zip needs to be extracted into its own folder within the download folder. Then script executed with root browser. Link to app is in the op

Is the dual speakers option here also activated in this ROM?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I haven't looked into it. It seems a bit too hacky to me. The hardware in the earpiece isn't designed for it and I'd be scared to break people's speaker. I'll let someone else deal with that mod that may know a bit more about it than me. None of my mods mess with the mixer path file the dual speaker mod uses. So if you want it, just flash over the top

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
You were already [edit:] UNLOCKED beforehand at some point? If so that means you already unlocked your bootloader so there was no wipe maybe the way you did it. Unlock wipes all, so you might have set up your phone after step 1 and before step 2 then not got a second wipe.

The WETA mods seem to mean the ROM successfully installed. Anything in settings -> about phone?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Smallsmx3:
Sorry for the OT but since this ROM revolves around audio, does anyone have a recommendation for BT sport headphones? Price is my main concern, unless they are extra durable. Seems most pairs I've tried all fail at some point and my guess it's from sweat. Plus being that they will be used for working out they will also take a beating.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
No for rooted after restarting and wiping clean trying to just get rooted without a ROM. In about phone only saw ex kernel nothing about WETA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
D'oh

I meant "unlocked beforehand"

If something is all borked up, best bet is flashing your relevant pixel factory image from google.

And following exact directions, reading all three posts by Chainfire in the SuperSU OP. Follow the directions, or the first 2 posts if you don't want to use TWRP.

Then you'll have root.

Follow WETA OP directions if you want WETA.

If you can't remember exactly what you did and the result is not the predicted onr, I think it might be safe to say your best bet is to reread the directions and explanations until you kind of know what each step is doing, then doing it again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crystallux:
Yeah idk did that a lot lol right now just stock with the WETA mods not sure why the ROM seems to flash weirdly or what I'm messing up all is good though
