Loving this ROM, on 2.2.1. Has anyone tried using the suhide scripts on this ROM? (theres a separae thread on how to patch the files).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Wondering the same???
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fenchai:
Guys, I was on the latest 7.1.1 build stock with twrp and root.

I wanted to try this rom and I noticed the latest version of WETA was bugged, so I installed WETA 2.2.1, I followed all directions and flashed vendor.img first then the rom, now I get booted to Recovery every time, what do I do? :/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
If you can't boot, best to flash stock boot or flash-all stock firmware ( -w removed to save data), boot to check stock is working, and try again​.

Did you update your Android Studio and SDK Tools? Just checking, because it is really common.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fenchai:
I just did a reset. I am starting fresh :/ thanks anyways.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
There really hasn't been many install problems until TWRP rc1 was released. I haven't ever had a problem with booting. Though I'm still using TWRP alpha 2 and SuperSU sr5

Re flashing SuperSU sometimes kicks things into gear

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah I also have had issues when I was updating builds with rebooting into recovery each time. Followed the steps and pretty much the same result each time. Flashed the stock boot img and it still just loops into recovery. Have to run flash-all to get it going again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
If you're flashing boot.img and it's going into TWRP? Then you aren't flashing it properly. Check boot slots etc. Recovery lives in the boot.img, meaning if TWRP is booting, you don't have stock

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] quangtran1:
^^^^

That's why users should make a TWRP backup of at least boot prior to flashing a ROM. That has saved my bacon a few times to be able to restore boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zetsumeikuro:
Hmmm, I've always been loading it into boot slot A :x. I'll just keep trying again and again! Thanks for the response and happy holidays!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Check which boot slot you are using in TWRP by selecting reboot. Or boot into bootloader and check there.

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobbarker2:
Yep it returns permissive.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zetsumeikuro:
Confirmed boot slot A before flashing.

Permissive. Any other ideas or debugging I can do to see where the break is in the audio chain? Now my v4a is saying it isn't enabled after a vendor + mod flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Satan_Neil:
I don't have the Pixel XL as of yet but been thinking about getting one "hints" the reason I'm checking out the forums , Been rockin the s7 edge since it's release and picked up the LG G5 a few months back and just recently updated it the Nougat firmware and had the same problem with the Talk Back app crashing and then it goes straight to the Assign Switches after a reboot .. I have found if you go into Settings - Accessibility - Switch Access and turn it off it takes care of both problems... Hope this help..

Has anyone got stock clock FC's when trying to set alarm clock??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tonyfiore75:
At one point I did. Not recently. But when I did, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then reinstalled it from the Play Store and it fixed it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.

TBH, as a nexus fanboy since 2012, I can't tell you how nice and straightforward the Pixel/Nexus experience is. My only venture out from nexus was with a Galaxy S4 and I ran right to the Nexus 6 after a few months. I may be prejudiced, but I'd be willing to bet if you lurk the other subforums some more you'll see others praise this phone that are new to the nexus/pixel line.

Even though this is a barely modded stock ROM, it's development like this that makes these phones fun! The commitment to these phones by developers over the years has been amazing. With Verizon pushing this phone like it is it may become one of the most adapted of the line. I'd bet within 3 months the ROM choices will be staggering. The hardware is good, the camera is fantastic, and the display is crisp and bright.

This is, by far, the best phone I've ever owned.

Does weta work with the Verizon variant? I'm unlocked but still on 7.1. If it does work, what is the procedure to update?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jlear3:
It is my understanding that once you unlock the bootloader on a Verizon pixel it is essentially a Google bought phone. At least that's how I've been using mine so far with no problems.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spotmark:
Upon receiving my Verizon XL I proceeded to unlock the booloader, install TWRP and root, and flash WETA. My phone was stock for all of about one hour. Flashing with RC1 is just like flashing any previous phone. Just be sure to boot into bootloader first, so you know which slot to flash to.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sslayer22:
Has anybody tried sixaxis controller?

I'm getting a pie error and neither wired nor Bluetooth (pin 0000) are working to pair my ps3 controller.

Is this a ROM thing or maybe just a N compatibility thing?

Thanks for any help
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheNewNEXUS:
If you go to the reboot menu in TWRP it shows you which slot you are in.

Anyone else have issues with Sony music not finding all of your artist pictures even though other apps like pulsar have no issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ZayedQamer.zq:
A quick question, if i manage to unlock bootloader will I be able to use another SIM card with the pixel XL or will I have to install a custom ROM with that to do so?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
i dont think that will help. if a phone is sim locked it doesnt matter which rom you will run on phone.

correct me if its wrong...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jigglynuts:
All pixels are already sim unlocked. No need to unlock bootloader or custom rom to use another carrier sim.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jason4656:
Can I just check, the EE phones from the UK with the locked bootloader - are they able to flash this rom? can/has the bootloader been unlocked? - im not talking about sim network here - just bootloader for installing custom roms and recoveries

thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
You may be the first person. Who has mentioned EE type phones. Not sure about bootloader unlock

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
I think the EE phones may be locked like Verizon so you should be able to use depixel8 as long as you're not on the newest firmwares.

Navbar swap

Why can I not find the setting for navbar button layout...?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coolhandz:
It's in the hidden System UI Tuner. Pull down quicksettings and push and hold the gear symbol for about 5 seconds. It should tell you system UI tuner is available with a pop-up. It'll be in settings by about phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
Well I seem to have encountered a situation. I have reflashed stock several times and flashed 2.2.1 to not have battery drain issue of 2.3. But it seems now when I flash it doest add the extras that I choose. Weta reboot and 3minute battery and the rom has no signs of being anything other than stock rooted. Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
That means you need to check boot slots. The ROM won't fail in flashing the mods. If they aren't present, then you are booting to stock in the wrong boot slot. Or you are flashing weta to the inactive boot slot

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
My sincere Thanks for your response and information. The odd thing is the phone and or software made the changes in the original boot slot. When I started this improvement process it was in slot A and worked fine. Then indescrimately it switched to slot B. Interesting that it wasn't (to my knowledge) anything I changed. All is as it should be. I look forward to the next 2.3 update. ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
I'm getting serious battery drain from what I don't know.

As someone else did, I'm going back to an earlier release for improved battery life.

Can't wait for updated to 2.3.

Is anyone else getting bad battery drain as well?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Yeah 2.3 had issues with the Android system drain. Hopefully that will be fixed soon cause 2.3 had alot of great changes I would love to experience running.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
Another thing that puzzles me is

TWRP rc1 works great for me.

Even restored my earlier version of this rom with no problem.

I'm wondering if some of our phones could possibly have slightly different

Hardware. As TWRP rc1 works flawless for some ,and not well for others.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
Metal,

How do I designate what slot I am pushing too in fastboot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
You mean to flash stock images?

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
Well yes the stock image and kernel as well. I believe I was also flashing kernel to wrong slot as well do to caused boot loop back to TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteReign:
From Version 2.2.1 can we just install 2.3 over it or should we do a fresh install?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
If anyone has weta 2.2.1 please link it to me.

Need to go back to it fit battery life

Please link vendor image as well

Can't find it on Android file host.

My nandroid has horrible battery as well need a full wipe and install.

WPSA Rom development

Development on WETA Rom for pixel devices has halted as of right now for a few reasons. One being I've decided to focus on a simple aroma mod installer, I'm seeing a lot of pointlessness in making a complete ROM at this point of time, as the best results arise from flashing to a stock base anyway. What is the point of flashing again in TWRP...

Two.. my wife is preggers, so time will diminish.

Three.. the pixel is finally starting to see some progress in the AOSP rom circles. This is great news, and I feel there will be other devs moving into these forums soon.

I will still update the system UI mods whenever there is a new base update. Just to keep things working. Unless someone else comes in and starts doing exactly the same thing. It's important to have some development, but pointless to have duplicate mods. I only want to give people options and don't want to abandon the device just yet.

Also... I am here for any questions if anybody feels the need to dive into modding, I'm not going to teach you the basics but there are quirks with this device that I'm happy to share.

Also, I'm not disappearing. Just not making big gigabyte zip files anymore

Thanks

Congrats on the baby! Thanks so much for your ROMs, they were a life saver to hold me over until Dirty Unicorns dropped. That being said I am using your audio mod still and am happy to hear that you will keep working on it. The Pixel partition setup makes other zips kicking around pretty much useless and your Aroma installer is great. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Yeah, I'll try and include some notes in my ops to help other people to become familiar with partition layouts etc.

As a way of saying thanks.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication

When you didn't have to always quick to answer questions and he'll when you can.

Honestly I have never seen a developer so responsive to questions

I sincerely hope you and the family have a great new year.

Set up a GoFundMe page so we can ask show our appreciation and buy the new baby a crib or 2 lol.

Thanks man from the bottom of our hearts.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Does anyone know if you can download this firmware just to pull out the systemui framework file to replace on a stock 7.1.1. firmware? The reason being I need to access the Navbar Tuner in System UI Tuner and cannot seem to do this in 7.1.1.

Please let me know if you think this is possible.

EDIT: Well, I did it anyways. Here is the story...

I decided to take the framework apk from the WETA firmware here and just replace it on my Pixel. Big mistake. It pretty much started throwing force closes on every app imaginary the second I replaced it. Then I rebooted to boot loop.

So I flash-all.bat without wipe and got back to normal. Boot-to-root and all that.

Then I took the script in the other WETA thread in the themes subforum and modified it to use the framework apk from this firmware. Well that only gave me a 36dpi navbar which was nice and all, but I wanted the navbar tuner.

I then took a different script zip from WETA download page which included framework mods and the wonderful SystemUIGoogle.apk which did contain the navbar tuner, and replaced the apks in there with the ones from this 7.1.1 firmware.

Success! Well, it crashed a couple apps running, but after reboot it was stable. Also, when you go into System UI Tuner, it is a little glitchy but navbar tuner works great.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Mentalmuso,

Are you going to update your mods for January security update?? Or does it even matter? Like could I use your current mods with the January security update?

Thanks for all you have done for this community!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Not sure, but let me know if you try them. I do plan on updating the ROM or the mods. Haven't decided yet. But will look at it tomorrow

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
No go

Tried executing center clock through root browser on updated January Build and it was a no go. After reboot I got a system UI force close repeatedly. Also, when I went to execute the music mod 9.1 in root browser and I extracted the file it was missing the flash.sh file needed to try it out? Not sure why just wanted to give you a heads up. I am heading back to 2.2.1 so I can continue to enjoy your 3minit and center clock mods as well as your viper mod. I will try again once you either update this rom or the mods. Again, thanks for all you do for this community Im a big fan of your work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
9.1 audio mod is flashed in recovery now.

Thanks I'll have to update those UI mods then.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
I just flashed the 9.1 mods zip over the stock January update. Works just fine.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
If I am on stock 26U/V

And I want to get back to weta, can I just flash 26Q vendor and ROM, or would I need to fully go back to 26Q stock, then weta?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
WETA Mod time

So as you all may know, im diverting to a mod zip as i no longer have a pixel, and im busy with life. Here is an updated aroma zip, treat it as beta, and if you are going to test for me, please on first flash, just flash a framework mod (navbar size) first, boot, if all is good then test one systemui mod, (3minit, etc), i they both pass the test then all the mods should be good. Report any issues and ill take a look. After it tests out good, ill post it over in the mods section. Thanks

Edit. Forgot to mention these mods are based on the latest U firmware

By clean install you mean wipe data, cache, and dalvick through twrp right? Do I need to format data too?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
Are you actually using them and applying everything like systemUI framework and such? There are posts and with the November security update Google merged something that caused bootloops for Substratum. Please see here: https://plus.google.com/+NicholasChumCDT/posts/cucWuYigVr8

It is possible this merge is not in the pixel or pixelXL builds, but just let me know if you are actually applying everything and have experienced any bootloops from it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Thanks. This is a different way of doing things, so I wasnt expecting perfection. I think flashing back to stock is the most reliable step. And redownload the ROM zip

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Yeah. You shouldn't need to wipe internal storage. Fyi dalvik gets wiped automatically via the ROM. As twrp method isn't working

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ANTHONY81L:
I never updated to the November update but yes I have a navbar theme and a dark theme applied but like I said it's not always 100% some themes work good and some theme things to where you can't see the font and makes it look weird.

Anyone know how to flash a kernel on here?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Only flash kernel if you need to. You will need to set up twrp and root afterward.

Just go look at a custom kernel thread for kernel flash instruction
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
What do you mean you have not updated to the November update? This ROM is based off the latest, which is November........
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mike02z:
This is V, the latest is X. I think the only real difference is a different radio on the X version. Both v and x are November releases.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ANTHONY81L:
I never flashed this ROM . All I did was unlock, root and flash the element kernel when everything first started happening with this phone. I haven't updated superSu I haven't installed twrp BC of the alpha I haven't done anything yet. Just kind of waiting for everything smooth out. How is twrp running btw? Any issues at all?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trace1er:
I just tried flashing 1.0.1 also and it looks like it did not work. The phone booted up to just the stock V software I had (no Viper4Android, Dolby, etc).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Were you on V prior to flashing? How long did the flash take? The system.img takes about 30 seconds to flash. Did you have enough storage space on your device?

And.. what system partition slot is your phone using. I need all this info before I can help
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
It's actually V and X depending on which version you pick on the download page...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BlackHoleSlam:
I was on slot B when trying to flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trace1er:
I have a Verizon Pixel XL, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed Google's P software image, which subsequently got OTA to V. I have plenty of space on my device because I formatted the data partition after installing TWRP alpha 2. I am wondering if it has something to do with the slot A/slot B partitioning? Every time I try to flash your ROM it boots back into the stock NDE63V software, not your custom ROM. It doesn't matter if I use slot A or B.

Edit: I've only been switching between slot A and B via the setting in TWRP... does the fastboot command do something different?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ls2power:
Im also interested to know this before i flash rom. Which slot are we suppose to be and does flashing full image it goes for both slots?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] le0.br4zuc4:
I have the right bootloader, radios and everything. Running your elementalx kernel. Flashed your ROM, flashed supersu again just to be sure.

When reboot the phone, phones gets stuck on Google's splash screen with the open lock from unlocked bootloader and that's it. Nothing happens after that. Any ideas?
