Hey,

This is weird :(

Could it be an updated app or more misbehaving maybe? I run the exact same setup as I used with 7.1.1 and I haven't seen a degradation in battery life.

Which of these two is the "Verizon variant"?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The K build. NHG57K

If you Google "Google Pixel Factory Image" the first or second link takes you to the Google page with the firmware. Specific carrier builds are labelled.

I wanted to see if would be possible to update the May Bootloader, using fastboot with my current updated PN system? Could I flash VerifiedBootSigner.zip in TWRP. Reboot into bootloader and fastboot flash boot boot.img. Will this work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Wouldn't you need to flash the bootloader first? The instructions I saw weren't real clear
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chazall1:
It may make sense to flash bootloader first, reboot to recovery TWRP and flash VerifiedBootSigner.zip.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Everytime I try to flash the verfied zip it errors out for me. I can't boot with the May bootloader no matter what I do.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Why are you trying to use the May bootloader on an April rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
While I find it pointless to go through that much trouble, it's not really going to hurt anything IF it works.

Nothing wrong with being a month a head of the rom as far as the firmware is concerned. I was running PN 7.1.1 on a 7.1.2 base.

Some people are just really concerned with being on the latest. And well that's their right.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
I agree and I am usually one of the ones that likes to be on the latest and greatest but I guess my point was if it's giving you thst much trouble way keep trying to do something that it wasn't meant to do. Just wait for the May PN release. Your not going to get anything new or special by loading the May bootloader now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drsuse:
does anyone have the files from one of the first roms dated from jan 2017? i am trying to get the phone and contacts apk to put them on my phone. i like the bigger caller id screen and i cant seem to find it anywhere. aosp dialer brings me to google dialer. maybe im just a moron and am skipping over it. but what i had done in the pas was install the first rom and copy those files to a thumb drive then wipe and install the newest then brought them over as system apps. but i forgot to save the apk. anyone have a link to it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The PN release won't fix the issue they are having. ROMs don't ship with bootloaders. It's an issue with TWRP and the bootloader.

Ultimately it's an issue that will need to be fixed and there appears to be a fix but the instructions don't seem super clear on how to implement it.

Quick question, I've been reading up on the threads but just to be sure, I'm looking to unlock and root my pixel xl. Are the methods all still good for being on the latest ota updates? Got the phone from Google and use it on Verizon. Is there not a toolkit anymore that does everything still or should I go the fastboot stuff through command prompt? I'm looking to run pure nexus again. Thanks for the help
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Are you familiar with XDA. In the development forum there is a thread for a toolkit. How useful it is I dunno because I have never used one.

If anything you may want to start searching for guides on the pixel xl which can be found if you just navigate to the General, News, Guides etc section of the Pixel XL forums.

Also a question like this is better asked in the QA portion of the pixel forum. If you need links I can provide them but a ton of this information is present in their respective threads.

Probably a great place to start: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/index-google-pixel-xl-t3466185
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] s1dest3pnate:
I'm experiencing this, namely for a few seconds after turning screen on/unlocking and trying to swipe away a notification. Only thing I've done extra is theme with substratum.

The way that I installed PN from stock April firmware is I reset to factory settings and then installed PN. Maybe I should flash stock April firmware with flash.bat and include -w for a full wipe and then install PN? Do you guys think that could make a difference with the lag?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
I'd first try removing the theme to see if that is the culprit. If the problem persists, you could try a full wipe but I honestly doubt it will do much for you. This issue seems to be somewhat setup dependent for whatever reason. Apparently not many experience the lag. I can say that my exact same setup on PN vs stock is noticeably smoother on the latter and I am now back to full-stock for the time being.

My apologies in advance if this is a stupid question already answered somewhere - But is this ROM pre-rooted with SU binaries ? I plan to run Airwatch Agent for my corp emails so checking if its worth the effort to flash this ROM over my existing stock OS.

Dude, I've been on this rom for two weeks, just noticed I'm not rooted. Forgot to flash su.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mkilla:
An issue I'm having on this rom and I'm not sure if there is a setting for it or not but if I'm streaming music or whatever, as soon as my screen times out and goes dark it stops streaming.

Almost like it's shutting the app down when the screen goes off or something, best way I can explain it. If I keep screen on by pushing the power button it's fine but obviously this isn't a good fix.

Any ideas guys?? Thx
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello,

Isn't there an option in your streaming app to keep the app working when screen turns off? Also, in settings > apps > gear icon > app ops.

Check if your app has a permission to run in background?!

Otherwise you can try to go in settings > battery > 3 dot menu > battery optimization > select all apps from drop down menu. Search for your streaming app, tap it and select "don't optimize".

See if that makes a difference.

Good luck...

I was having problems with Gmail/Exchange a couple of months ago,and could never get it to sync correctly. Now I'm using the Outlook app, and its awesome. I'll never go back..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
I'm using Gmail on here and it syncs perfectly fine with my exchange office 365 account. I've been running PN since I got my pixel and previously on my N6 and had some issues occasionally with the N6 but so far nothing with the Pixel. Are you getting any errors? What app are you using to sync?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gmac1990:
I'm using the Gmail app to sync. I put in all the information and just click next and it just sits and says verifying info on server and then comes back and says couldn't connect to server. Also from there whenever I click "client certificate" the whole Gmail app crashes. I have verified all my info is correct.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micmars:
Me too. Outlook for Android is finally worth installing.

I got tired of sync issues, and the overall awfulness of Gmail's incompatibility with Exchange.

FWIW, the Swift themes have an overlay for Outlook, which gets rid of the white UI if you don't like the blinding look of the Outlook app.

Yea, just boot into OS before returning to TWRP, then flash the vendor.img. That's what I did. I was notified of the vendor error upon first OS boot, so I went to the recovery and flashed V vendor.img and rebooted into OS again. No issues thereafter.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Looks like you flashed the vendor image before flashing the ROM. Not sure if that makes a difference but I think the correct order is:

Factory reset in twrp

Install rom

Install twrp

Boot into os

Boot back into twrp and then flash the vendor

Thats how I did it and it worked for me!

Hope that helped.

So I booted into TWRP, and something happened that I've never come across. I performed a factory reset wipe (data,cache,dalvik) and now my internal storage file names are long, scrambled filenames.

Here's a question I haven't seen anyone ask yet, the process of updating to current stock build and flashing the vendor image prior to flashing the rom; will these steps be necessary for subsequent builds or simply flashing/dirty flashing like in the past?

I was stock on the Jan update and the Pixel Launcher had a third option for Application Info or something like that when long pressing apps from the home or the drawer. Now its only Cancel and Uninstall. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] whodatfan:
Yes. I was able to flash the ROM, TWRP, boot to OS, reboot to TWRP, flash vendor and reboot. Now I don't have a damn keyboard to setup the phone. All I have is speech for keyboard and I am setting up as new so it will be a while before the google keyboard is installed. Talk about a bad stroke of luck. I have been installing custom ROMs for years and have never really had any issues before. Dumb mistakes this go around shows me I'm getting to old and not paying attention to what I'm doing. Lol

Beans answer
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
C'mon brother,,,just because you dont care about it doesnt mean you cant report accurately if its working or not. Now, it has been my experience that everything works but the always listening function. When you go into settings of the Google app and then to voice the options seem to be grayed out then come back on as soon as the screen comes up. Which leads me to believe that some functions are not working (like saying Okay Google when the screen is off and not on a charger) as other functions are working.

Part of the confusion is that all functions are working in the new google beta app except for the screen off and not on charger always listening function. Other than that rom is running superb!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NickOlsen8390:
Great Rom. Works fantastic.

I noticed the "LTE" symbol now shows "LTE+" I suspect this is suppose to mean LTE Advanced. My question is, How is the phone determining this? My carrier is Verizon Wireless. While they are running "LTE Advanced" in my area. Both 2x Carrier Aggregation, And 3x. The phone doesn't pickup the supplementary carriers until it's actually in a downlink procedure. Is the phone some how choosing to display "LTE+" based on some parameter, Or just the fact that the carrier is VZW, and it's "Possible" It's using "LTE Advanced" so it shows it all the time? Just Curious.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Correct. OK Google works from home screens but not from within any app or with screen off for most. Just because assistant is working correctly with home button long press or from home screen with saying OK google many are reporting inaccurately that it works 100%.

Just got back from vacation so I've been a bit out of the loop with this whole May bootloader stuff. After catching up on some forums, it seems like the only extra step needed is to flash the boot signer zip from Chainfire after installing TWRP, SuperSU, or custom kernels.

If you have not updated your bootloaders to May its flash as usual. Just ROM and TWRP then reboot recovery and do Vendor.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mugor:
This is correct, I am already running 7.1.2.

I tried to get the May bootloader to work, even with the special script from ChainFire, I couldn't get it to work, so I reverted my bootloader back to the April and everything is working perfectly.

One suggestion though is that if you are using Substratum, you should disable all of the overlays before flashing. I dirty flashed and my systemUI kept crashing, until I went into recovery and manually deleted the systemui overlay apk.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] milan187:
I was on May bootloader at least one one of the slot. Just posted this on sailfish for anyone running into issues.

I believe I had mismatched bootloaders (different on each slot) causing the issue (not a 100% sure).

Flashing PN in twrp without flashing twrp booted up and updated fine (if I flashed TWRP it would go into ramdump).

I then went back to bootloader and made sure bootloader was updated.

Booted twrp then flashed TWRP, and flashed VerifiedBootimageSigner.zip

Worked fine after that.

If you are on the old bootloader you probably don't need to do any of this. Just update as usual.

Or maybe if you have the latest bootloader on both slots none of this will be an issue.
