Got everything working on Pure Nexus..data and all..it's a hacked up job but works like a champ..only thing I can't figure out to fix is a browser fc you get when you download from a browser but the file still downloads and okay google which I know doesn't work on other aosp roms. Pure Nexus is running great on marlin and sailfish.. Just wish I can fix the browser download fc

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BeansTown106:
like spaceman said its not gapps thats the issue the flashing for those was fixed in my last gapps commit, its verity killing anything thats not in the payload.bin. part of me thinks this is a twrp issue but i cant be sure because deestroy hasnt released source for the latest twrp :(

so ya i made a gapps vendor for pixel phones for now to hold us over that rom devs can include in their project https://gitlab.com/PureNexus/android_vendor_pixelgapps/tree/android-7.1

and then just call the pixel-gapps.mk from your pixel product makefile like so https://github.com/PureNexusProject...mmit/d77442a57e7fd44db6663b196990ea0308167399

But this would mean compiling Gapps into the ROM which Google won't like. I was able to successfully build open Gapps in but for the same reason haven't distributed them publicly. I was able to compile DynamicGapps from source and flash seperate from ROM similar to how SuperSU is done (after initial boot up). But your right it's not ideal. But it does work as way to keep custom ROM seperate from gapps
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
SuperSU disables dm-verity...Therefore by flashing SuperSU, Gapps will stick...There was a reason to flash things in an order and that's so Gapps will stick...ROM devs will need to edit Thier kernels to disable dm-verity so the process is a bit easier with flashing custom roms and gapps

Plus Gapps must be flashed separate from ROM due to the fact that as of now, ROMs flash to the Inactive slot...If you flashed back to back without a reboot, Gapps would flash to one slot while ROM is on the other
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spaceman860:
Super SU does not disable dm-verity. Dm-verity is disabled after the first boot. What needs to be figured out is how to disable dm-verity before the first boot.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

The other issue with that method is you won't be able to dirty flash. Every rom flash you would have to wipe.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
I know but I worked around that by booting up ROM and restoring data from TWRP backup. Again band aid to the issue but at least we are moving forward
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
Next time you flash SuperSU, read what it says...It will tell you it's disabling dm-verity
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spaceman860:
I don't have to. I seen the source code that disables dm-verity after boot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I did some tests with Bliss but there seems like a good bit of work left. At this point I can't even get data. I sent the dev a logact. I always try and help the devs test but I have been running Dirty Unicorn for a while and it has been rock solid. I do get a FC for com.android.connectivitymetrics whenever I boot but I simply froze that in TiBu and it no longer FC's on boot. I've had no other issues. Good customization built on AOSP. Very smooth.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BeansTown106:
meh, i dont think google will make a big deal about it the only reason they made a big deal with cm is because they were shipping them on every device and cm "was" a lot larger than the amount of people flashing pixel roms, but ya its not ideal at this point its up to the developers discretion :/

F*** supersu lol, its not needed to disable dmverity both me and spaceman have done it in either the kernel or the rom. its quite simple without adding supersu to the mix 1.flash rom 2.flash twrp 3.boot 4.reboot to recovery 5.wipe data 6. flash gapps but its extremely not ideal as it wipes data every time you flash. would be nice to have source for twrp though so we could dig into the slot/verity issue a bit more instead of all just "speculating"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
I always thought verity had to be disabled on the kernel side of things... Learn something new everyday

Is he going to release with instructions on how to flash Gapps? I see he figured it out but for some reason other devs still aren't doing it..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
The problem is believed to lie in TWRP. Right now Gapps will flash but the process is involved and would have to be repeated every ROM flash (no dirty flashing). I tried my best to make this process work better but I now agree with Beans. The best way to do this for now is to build Gapps into the ROM. It's an easier, safer flash process. We will be releasing today or tomorrow
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:

Lineage OS (formerly CyanogenMOD) is working on Pixel XL.

There is no ROM thread yet but there is a discussion thread over in Q&A subforum.

And with this ROM comes the ability for us to use aptX bluetooth, of which I have posted a mod thread over in the Themes & Apps subforum.

AOSiP is the ROM with the most customization options of all so far, but the dev does not have a maintainer and only released that one ROM so far.

But with an aptX mod working on Lineage, that's where I'll be from now on I think.

I am on the du rom released on the 18th and have no issues other than a weird tap to wake issue when the fingerprint security is enabled.

I didn't have any major issues on the previous build of du either.

du did not enter deep sleep with the build from the 16th but that is also fixed in this build.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah everything worked fine for me except for the UI being slow, but Im not sure what the date on the build was, it was since monday though. Compared to say Pure Nexus it was moving like a turtle but better on battery life.

No it's an awesome customization tool for the navbar where you can add remove buttons, change the actions for single press, double press and long press, change icons etc. It was originally only on DU but they opened up the source and custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix and AOSIP use it.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
If you locate AOSiP's G+ page and search for marlin, you'll find it.

But it hasn't been updated in a few weeks.

Resurrection Remix typically bases off CM, or they used to.

I hope he's talking about someone else because I'm really hoping RR bases off LineageOS now and gives us a ROM filled with custom options.

I need LineageOS based ROM's so I can run aptX.

I've tried everything available for the Pixel and the ROMs are all excellent & getting better but I keep going back to stock. I can't help it, this phone is a beast with the stock setup. I made a backup of my stock rooted setup and checked everything in the twrp backup menu. It was a big backup, over 8 gb but when I restored it after flashing a couple roms, it restored my stock setup just as it was. Backups hadn't restored well for me previously. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Stock runs really nice but is still visually ugly in my books. Running Dirty Unicorns with a beautiful dark theme and some tweaks and still get my stock camera and great battery life and smooth performance. Looking forward to more custom options getting up to snuff.

PureNexus

I am writing here since I'm new and am not allowed to post on the PureNexus thread.

I am having a problem , when I want to watch videos that I have recorded through the Photos app or sometimes even images I get crash and get options to force close or restart, but it won't work. However if I watch the videos on ie VLC it works or if I look at the images on other apps it works so I want to believe it's something with the photos app. Any info of what can be done?

One more thing, is it possible to get the Google Apps like phone and contacts and everything thing that comes stock? Or at least to make it possible to remove the ones that come with the rom?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Have you tried clearing data on the offending app?

You can use TiBu to remove the stock apps or freeze them and side load the one you want. If you install say the Pixel phone app I think you lose the voicemail widgets if you ever used them. Make sure to make it the default and also grant it the required permissions.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Morino1:

I will try TitaniumBackup if that was what you were referring to.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
Tipsy is blazing fast btw:)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hokiealumnus:
Heh, it is so alpha only one person on the team is testing crDroid right now. So you flash these non-announced builds, buyer beware! Pretty sure the same likely applies to Tipsy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Yeah I tried tipsy and it was OK. I've been spoiled by all the options on RR so it's hard to switch now. Pretty much what happened to me on Marshmallow too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Indeed.

I flashed Tipsy before clean flashing for the latest RR build.

Tipsy looked cool, lots of features and even had SlimRecents like the new RR has.

I didn't spend much time on it though.

CRdroid popped up after I'd already setup my RR the way I like, so I won't try that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
Tipsy is already a daily driver. But I don't like the theming and I am used to velocity for such a long time starting with Nexus 4. I just flash every rom out there for comparing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Im assuming you havent been running it but for a few days but in your opinion how has the battery been?

Does it sleep well?

Does Photos show the full res unlimited storage indicator under back ups?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
All fine. Battery was pretty good, but I used MVK kernel with it. Never look for deep sleep. Battery was as good as velocity. On my usage my pixel is holding about 3 days.

What do you mean with photos? Never shoot one when I am on tipsy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Some roms (well RR currently) aren't registering as a Pixel under Google Photos so you dont get the unlimited full res storage indicator.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Velocity just popped up on the download site yesterday it looks like.

Do you know if it's based on LineageOS?

I will only flash LOS based ROM's now due to its aptX compatibility.

Don't feel like killing off my current RR install just to test Velocity if it's not LOS based.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kkeith:
It looks like it probably is AOSP based from what I've found on their older devices, not much info is given on their forum that they use unfortunately. I may give it a flash sometime tomorrow to check it out, but like you I'm loving RR and find it hard to believe that it could get much better at this point haha
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Was thinking about trying velocity but will probably just come right back to RR. Let me know if it's any good. Anyone try crDroid yet? Wish someone would build AOSIP for Marlin.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
So you missed the changelog on the German forum :)

Would never say it's better or worse than any other rom.

Was never a Cyanogen or now lineage guy. So for me AOSP is what I am looking for. But I think rom and kernel have to suit your usage, so there is no best for everyone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kkeith:
Tried to open it last night but it said it was moved to his bin what ever that means, so if you were able to open it and the was something there mind answering czeddies question?

LoS just completely rebased their code last week too, so don't judge that release too closely. :)

I Googled Validus and see that some of its older ROM's had CMTE so it may be LOS based too.

So many new ROM's available now.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
Gapps flashing is already working fine with beans gapps.

Made some testing over the weekend.

Fastest lineage roms Tipsy and Tesla

Fastest AOSP DU

Many roms are just not on xda anymore.

Many devs went over to base.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
Not everyone wants to use Beans gapps though.

Heck, most dev's still don't know how to create a flashable zip for Pixel.

:)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
The gapps are damn fine☺️ but the rom?

And now velocity is faster, too. The def changed from Pures to DU device trees.

Beans must have messed up something there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Running DU at the moment. Keep coming back to it. Pure Nexus is the fastest rom I have tried. Battery is meh! Tried three Lineage roms. Love the battery life. They all seem a little slow for my taste. The small bugs drive me crazy. Oct OS is real nice. I want to try Tipsy and Velocity. Dynamic Gapps work great for me. Especially since there is no alternative.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
That is odd because I get great battery life on Pure Nexus. Maybe you have a rogue app sucking down your battery. I know its very easy to blame a rom but when most others report no battery issue usually that means its time to investigate further and find the real issue.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
Everything seems normal with apps. I always clean flash. Always had slightly better battery on DU. Been getting 8.5 hours SOT on the 3 Lineage based Roms I have tried. Prefer ASOP. 6.5 on Pure and 7 ish on DU. I think Pure is faster than DU. Noticeably!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah DU seemed so sluggish after using PN but the battery gains were noticeable on DU.

Running OctOS now, flashed last night and went to bed with battery at 38%, had a 2% drop in six hours.

No tweaks but I don't use many social network apps, only XDA Labs, and whatsapp
