Well I look forward to helping in anyway. I actually used to maintain a rom for both the Droid RAZR and Turbo before this when I had an old laptop with Linux on it for compiling but it's since broke so I only do debugging work now mostly. If there's anything I can assist with lmk. I'm loving the audio mods on this rom with the stable stock base. It's much in the vain of what I wanted my old style to be. The download of 1.0.5 was completed shortly after 8 pm last evening (Dec 4th). I have attached a screenshot with the timestamp visible for verification.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Also just a heads up Official December update factory images are up if you want to use to compile next update. Looks like some pretty sweet content and LOT of security fixes. Good stuff. Gotta love being on a Google device for this reason alone. Timely updates.

In case any other nerds like me are interested in reading the details here's an article:

Friends, I am little confused about the builds.I am crreuntly on WETA1.1 version. I feel this,coupled with Elemental kernel , has all the latest features (such as Moves). Now my question is whether WETA 1.0.5 is superior to 1.1? Am I missing anything if I dont move from 1.1 to 1.0.5.

My phone is working so nicely right now that, I am thinking twice before tinkering it.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
1.1 was a hacked together beta. It worked but will be overtaken tonight with the Dec update.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
The 1.1 build is based on a leaked OTA that had a different vendor image required. Since the new update and 1.0.5 are based off the V image and the OP has decided to use V as the only base going forward (and the unlocked channel in general) the 1.1 tree from what I understand is now obsolete and unsupported. I too was on 1.1 and when I tried to flash the V vendor image and go to 1.0.5 to maintain current support my phone bricked. I had to factory install the V image and fully wipe my phone and data to get it back. Then I went to 1.0.5 so I could stay current and move along with the updates that follow. I would suggest you do the same.

Cheers

Bricked = Dead phone with no possibility to save without JTAG

A bootloop or failure to boot is a more accurate description.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
When I say bricked it's my description of a useless paperweight AKA didn't do anything but yeah I guess your right. Apologies for lack of clarification
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Trijunction:
wow.. thank you!.. its a long process!! clean wiping the phone is a pain but i think I have to do it now to be on par.

I was thinking flashing vendor image and zip file of 1.0.5 will do.

Also just a side bar I attempted to PM you about an idea of mine but idk if it's working properly. I'm using the XDA labs app and it seems to send but I get no confirmation and it doesn't show in my sent messages like it used to so I have no idea if it's even working
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] le0.br4zuc4:

Can we use FlashFire to do the Dec OTA updates? I want to keep WETA 1.0.5 and ElementalX with out having to do a complete firmware update. Thx
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
on updated firmware but cant get any mods to stick? Do I need to flash vendor right before rom to get this up and running? It will run its just no mods?

What am I doing wrong here?

I am fast-booting the vendor image from v firmware then installing the kernel elemental x and then the rom itself followed by su5 and no luck?

Do i need to wait until this gets updated to latest firmware in order to get this working correctly?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
WETA 2.0

Based off Dec update NMF26O

All mods working

I firmly recommend updating to full stock NMF26O, and booting into it. Then rooting before flashing the ROM

Speechless. Beautiful.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
If it seems the mods aren't sticking.. this usually means you have flashed rom to the wrong boot slot. If in doubt just flash to both a and b by flashing twice.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tonyfiore75:
Just to clarify... so you want us to use Fastboot to load NMF260. Boot up. Go back to TWRP. Flash root. Flash a kernel. Flash the ROM?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I just had some issues on a clean install, flashing back to factory stock cured the issues for me. I have to state it, so people will go down that route before complaining about things being broken.

I actually think you'll be fine dirty flashing this. But you definitely should fastboot flash the bootloader and radio. Also you'll need to do the kernel and re twrp and root because double tap has ties to the kernel I think. Flash all that, flash vendor, then flash rom

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] epicroot:
Can the bootloader and vendor image and radio not be made into a flash able zip for twrp thus circumventing the need for fastboot. I'm not barely at home due to my job so it would be nice to be able to do this without a PC when new firmware hits. I know we could do this back in the old days not sure if it's still applicable
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] psychatog64:
idk if this was mentioned or not and i dont feel like reading hundreds of pages but you can enable system ui tuner and remove stock battery icon so you just have 3mint mod running instead of 2 battery icons up at same time pull down on status bar revealing quick lauch setting gear hold down on gear for like 4 seconds and release and it will enable the menu in settings then edit to your liking does alot of stuff actually

Ok quick question I run the new update flash all bat with my unlocked bootloader?

Then reinstall two then reroot?

Or will it lock my bootloader if I use the flash all bat.

I'm thinking it shouldn't.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Run flash all then reroot then install 2.0.

No automated process from Google will relock your bootloader. You have to issue the relock command to do so and I don't see why anyone would ever want to do this unless your selling it to someone who doesn't know what it is.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
thanks a bunch was thinking this was the way to do it just wanted to clarify.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I don't have Verizon but I wouldn't think so. The tether hack wasn't working in the last build because of a fault of mine. Should be fixed now though.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] humdrum2009:
Great build as usual, quick question this rom contains the stock kernel right?

Was thinking of adding elemental kernel.

Don't want anything to break
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Your bootloader wont lock.

It will only lock if you manually tell it to lock

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Not a fault of the ROM but I've tried so many ways and spent so much time on updating to 7.1.1 it's been a nightmare. Many methods have been unfruitful. Updating from stock 7.1 (which works fine) via factory image and OTA for me results in random issues consistently such as notification pull down not working and rampant android.process.acore force closing. I can get to 7.1.1 with different methods and get same result. Wiping data and then flashing factory image (without -w) doesn't help even after trying to wipe data in twrp. Wiping and flashing weta gives same issues for me. I've never had an issue updating Android versions like this before. Has anyone else had a nightmare updating to 7.1.1? Or has it been OK for everyone else. Just don't understand how I can fastboot full 63x have it working perfectly fine and side load OTA and immediately get crashes that even data wipe cant resolve.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Acore was crashing for me. You need to absolutely nuke your device. Backup and flash the factory image with flash-all but don't remove the -w.

Then boot it, and go through the setup.

Now flash twrp and root. Reboot

Then flash ROM.

It's important you make sure stock has booted and set things up it seems.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evilryry:
Thanks I'll try after work since I have 63x working right now. Was up till 2am trying to fix it lol. I'll have to backup my device to PC and back up my 50gb of stuff. Wish I didn't have to nuke it but I can understand. I'll report back later, thanks mental
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Hmm. That is a lot of stuff to backup.. so when you flash the stock flash-all package, with -w removed.. you get acore crashes?

I got this installed along with Franco Kernel this morning and everything works great. The only odd thing I noticed is that I checked the box to install AdAway and it did not get installed.

Did you check AdAway or adblocker? It installs for me. If you checked adblocker by accident then it's invisible

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
It needs to be rooted for all mods to work. It'll probably boot but it'd be pointless

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I've noticed a few more odd bugs. The brightness slider toggle is not in the System UI Tuner. Also in the System UI Tuner the battery and time settings are mixed up, time settings in the battery and battery settings in the clock.

Edit: It appears that the whole System UI Tuner is messed up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cheez_aleo:
OK. I will keep an eye out for that. Thx for checking.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WyldOne91:
There's a really good chance that I'm just an idiot, but I flashed this last night and do not see the System UI Tuner anywhere. I assumed it would be in settings unless I should be looking somewhere else?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
You need to hold down the settings (gear) icon in the notification area until you feel a slight vibration, you'll then find the SUIT down near the bottom of the settings tab. Can you please check yours and see if it looks like mine in the post above?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pro_b:
I noticed the same thing and believe it or not, that top selection that say Show clock seconds in the status bar......... is actually the brightness toggle. That's what I had turned off earlier thinking that I didn't want seconds to show up. I somehow turned it back on after noticing that my brightness slider was gone. That fixed it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WyldOne91:
It does! Thank you so much, has this always been there? Now that I see it I feel like I heard about this before and just forgot.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airric00:
Thanks for the info, I went ahead with the superuser and root. Installed and works perfectly. Thanks again...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
That is really weird that you are showing clock seconds there. I'm not on my setup. It says brightness slider. But you know what you've uncovered? The fact that there are more toggles to activate, I'll have to dig around and take a look at that. Thanks! Haha

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
It isn't just me, the two people that posted after me have the same thing showing up. I'm curious to hear what the other toggles are, glad I could help...lol.

I should have also mentioned I haven't updated; still on the X build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trace1er:
Might be a silly question, but do you need root for the audio mods to work? In other words, can you just flash this ROM without flashing SuperSU?

If it helps, The mods I chose are the 4 quick toggles and the 36 nav bar. I have those funky choices under the System UI Tuner also. But it's not a big deal for me since I was really only trying to get the Brightness toggle back and probably won't go back in there.

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] I pm'd you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bogega:
Hey guys, I think I need an advice.

So I flashed 7.1.1 factory image (NMF26O) to my Pixel XL. Did initial boot, then installed TWRP and SuperSU. All worked ok.

Then flashed WETA 2.0. Went through Aroma set up - all flashed successfully. Flashed to Slot A.

But when I reboot afterwards I still boot into that stock 7.1.1 that I initially flashed.

After this I went back to TWRP, wiped system/data, flashed WETA again, rebooted and I still boot into stock (I don't see all the mods that I chose in aroma etc).

No matter if I boot to slot A or B I still boot into stock.

Not sure what am I doing wrong. Any ideas?

upd: ok, I flashed WETA to slot B and now it's booting fine. Still confused about all the slot A/B thing...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Did you check what slot was active in bootloader? I am currently writing up a new instruction post, this part is important, you need to flash weta to whichever one is active in bootloader..

--->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bogega:
Yes, bootloader says slot B.

Given that I was able to boot into WETA after flashing to slot B it kind of makes sense :)

I guess it will be useful to add this into flashing instructions to avoid this confusion. Cheers and thanks for your help.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
WETA install instructions

I've spent some time getting a better grasp on things and have added an install post that may change as different build come along. Go take a read at post #4

I dont have a brightness slider in my notification bar and there isnt a setting under system UI tuner. Any help on how to enable the brightness slider?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewebsiteisdown:
The answer to this question since it was never responded to in case anyone else was wondering like me, is to install SU after installing the rom within twrp or in other words flash the vendor image first, then flash the rom, then flash su then finally, restart system from within twrp or in other words reboot from within twrp.

SU will reboot your phone twice or three times before finally continuing to install the rom and booting all the way, so don't freak out when it reboots a couple of times unannounced, it's normal.​
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
It really doesn't matter when you flash root. As long as you've flashed it, after flashing a kernel. WETA doesn't touch the kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I need more info man. What mods did you flash.

Have you ever disabled it? Like before flashing the update?

Wiping data will fix it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thewebsiteisdown:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ANTHONY81L:

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

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
I work for Verizon if not X version we can spot it running diagnostics and if we run anything but x it will say version update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Just be aware that the ROM modifies the vendor to get audio mods working. You would need to flash vendor before you flash the ROM.
