So from what i read in the OP, the only difference when installing PN on pixel compared to the 6P is that we have to flash TWRP again? Am I missing any steps? Got one of them pixel replacements instead of 6P. Pretty dope.

Does anyone else have an issue where the icons for key actions added with nav bar tuner disappear? The function of the button in that spot remains, but the custom icons disappear...and then reappear sometimes, but not sure what does it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flegma3124:
Thank you sir.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vtotheinay:
So I got the latest PN installed. Is it normal to still get the system update notification? I have the one saying 8.0 is available and can't get rid of it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boostedduece:
Yes, I long pressed the notification and disabled them. Nothing bad happened so far.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteReign:
That is what I am here for lol.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
This is a bug. Just go to the tuner, add any random button. Save. Then remove the random button you added again. Save.

It should make your previous invisible button reappear.

Basically after every reboot, any button that has been added to Nav bar tuner disappears (icon disappears). THe functionality remains though. To fix this, one has to go to the tuner again, make a change, hit save. This makes the icon re-appear.

Hey, you know what, I just had the same issue but with no vibration on fingerprint unlock and was looking for a solution. Thing is I have EX Kernel installed. Played around in EX kernel manager with general vibration intensity settings, increased the level and bingo, vibration is back. Maybe this helps you as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
No that's all up to date. It's been this way regardless of phone. Nexus 6p was the same. Boot, system, and radio are three I always remember to flash.... Bit if you unzip the factory image folder, there like 20 things you could flash. I guess my question is what are the essentials that should be flashed?

In reality, the days of modding are slowly leaving me behind. I typically have only unlocked for the purpose of tethering a VZW grandfathered udp.... But my kid is almost of age for her own smartphone and a $30 a month 2gb plan addition doesn't make economic sense just to keep upd. Right now I have a jetpack I can just pop my sim card into for when I need tethering.... Just need a solution to keep receiving my texts.

Pretty much made the decision to upgrade to O.... Might just flash 7.1.1 factory and then take the Ota.

I have done nothing to my device lately and now ram dumps are happening again. Starting to think this is a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lucky_strike33:
I get several ram dumps when using pure Nexus. But now I'm on stock Oreo, I haven't gotten one ram dump. It's not a hardware issue...

Will I get any issues with this ROM if I update the bootloader/radio to the latest 7.1.2 August version (NJH47F)? How about using the radio/bootloader from the latest 8.0 September version (OPR3.170623.007)?

Going to be doing this on my Pixel XL when it comes in the mail. I really want to run PureNexus with Magisk. Should I flash PN first, then follow the steps for Magisk found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/67qa10/how_to_install_magisk_v12_on_pixel/?

Pixel seems a little more complicated than my 6P haha.

The Magisk Dev is real close to releasing a new beta that supports the XL. Keep an eye out for that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xthek1ng:
If I install Magisk 12 for the XL and that beta gets released, can I update through Magisk Manager? Or I'll probably have to flash again?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] orangebitzero:
I'm struggling with a vendor image match, could someone please review the steps I've taken to flash and correct me? It asks me to flash NJH74D every time I boot.

-Install TWRP using their instructions (fastboot boot img, flash rc2)

-Wipe factory reset, system, and dalvik

-Reboot to the not active slot, to bootloader to check slot

-TWRP flash rom purenexus_marlin-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL and twrp twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip

-Reboot back to bootloader to check slot switch

-TWRP flash vendor NJH47D_vendor.img

-Flash gapps BeansGapps-Full-7.1.x-20170725

Seeing that didn't work I tried these commands from bootloader

fastboot flash vendor C:\path_to\NJH47D_vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_a C:\path_to\NJH47D_vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_b C:\path_to\NJH47D_vendor.img

Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
Don't flash gapps, they're included in the rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] orangebitzero:
Oh good call, thanks. I re-did my process without GAPPs at the end for good measure and I still have my vendor image problem.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Which slot are you flashing the vendor to? Make sure to flash it to the active slot. Doesn't hurt anything to flash it to both A and B.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] orangebitzero:
That's what I thought I did with fastboot, is there a way to do it in TWRP too?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Yes you can in twrp 3.1 rc2. In reboot you can see which slot you are in and swap slots and in the flash screen down in bottom right you can select flash image
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Born<ICs:
Um? Since Pixel isn't a Nexus device why not PurePixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] orangebitzero:
Tried it and no dice. Maybe I'll try re-downloading the vendor image.

EDIT: The re-download worked fml
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dadoc04:
flash it with fastboot on both slots... i had problems with it flashing in twrp too.

This ROM is written for different phones and has been around for a long time. Nate toyed with changing the name but it just didn't feel right in the end. It's tough to change a name after it's been established as your brand.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mele:
Pixel is Nexus, Nexus is Pixel, Nuff Said.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Born<ICs:
The Nexus line ended with 5X/6P.

Pixel is not a Nexus device. Minor technicality.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mele:
My comment had a deeper meaning, Pixel is Google and Nexus is Google, they are both Pure Android phones.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
Yes. I tried different ways to block it and the one that worked was using the app auto starts, disabling all update services under Google play services. I could also block all notifications from GPS using native notification control, but I wasn't sure that it would just be limited to updates. I use Android auto and the notification also comes up as produced by GPS for example.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Born<ICs:
.

There is a difference.

For Nexus, Google encouraged phone manufacturer's to design and build around Android and provided Android code to suit each device. Google didn't control phone design.

Google ended Nexus program.

Starting with Pixel Google has taken control of entire phone design or their own phones and is outsourcing manufacturing only.

Not positive but think you can try...

Disable Services (root) app and disable SystemUpdateService under googleplayservices to kill update notification.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
I tried the disable service app. It re enables it after a reboot or 3. So that didn't work. Also tried as maid method, and fotakill method.

I found a way that works, auto starts as I mentioned.

Is anyone having problems with their phone not vibrating? I have changed all settings, but for some reason I don't get vibration on notifications. I even tried playing with the strength of it on EX and I can feel it vibrate when changing the strength there, but when getting instagram DM notifications it won't vibrate. My 6p and iphone both vibrate. This is the only one that won't do it. I do hear the sound though

Would it be possible to integrate an audio mod into the next release of this rom? Like v4a, etc...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ScottIsMyName:
That guide is more or less correct, but download magisk and the manager from here instead....it supports the pixel A/B configuration.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=200113

Also, as someone else mentioned, official Pixel support should be coming very soon according to the dev, so it's probably best to just wait it out.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
while I wouldn't mind V4A being integrated, it's super easy to install V4A. Just flash in TWRP and follow the AROMA installer https://www.wetarom.com/?p=363
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] GravityNinja:
You sure it's not a hardware issue? Have you tested the vibration with an app that let's you customize like Tasker?

Custom Kernel: ElementalX

Exactly. Now I say Nexus/Pixel when talking about the phones released yearly that run stock Android, backed and advertised by Google. People like to make this huge to do about the name. The company rebranded, big whoop. Nothing else has changed for the end user. Still stock Android.

Not to make this anymore off topic than it already is but why do you say that?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
I'm curious, is it the SPen that will make your days much easier or is there another aspect of the Note that is more work friendly as well?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
For my job it's both the Pen and Samsung Knox(yuck). I work IT and copier repair, and our system is completely digital, but the web portal we use is very unpleasant when it comes to selecting options on a smartphone. Everything defaults to using the magnifier popup no matter what the DPI settings, or browser we use. With the SPen it's not an issue for whatever reason, and bonus with the Pen is Note taking! I didn't think I was going to miss having that feature until I left my Note 5 two years ago.

The last stupid issue is we have to use Samsung based devices. We use Knox for containing all company data from everything else on our devices. We use to have company provided devices but they offered us a deal if we wanted to use our own devices as long as it's Samsung Knox capable. Haven't paid a phone bill in 3 years.

I got an exception because I'm rooted so I can run Exchange on Secure Hub instead of natively to somewhat secure company data. It works but it's also violating our company policy(root), so IT(our in house Network team) gave me a pass until the next Note device came out. I didn't trust that 7 for a minute. I've been running like this for the past year+ until now. Had the 6P before this and that was a nightmare!?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
I see. My last Samsung device was the GS7 Edge. Used it for about 9 months before getting the Pixel. I really liked that phone and I think Samsung adds some thoughtful additions to the Android experience. I've always liked the Note line. It's kinda funny that when I've had Notes, I've used the SPen regularly but the transition to pen-less phones has always been seamless.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
It's great Google hooked you up with a Pixel. I could have used that when my 6P battery was worthless.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Poloasis:
Getting the Pixel XL 128G tomorrow for my 6P battery issue that I leaned to live with in the past 5 months. I went with it just bc it's a free exchange and wanted to see some Pixel power. In reality, I had second though of doing this. I have my eyes on the V30 and Pixel 2 XL when announced. Root for me is very important, that's the reason I left Samsung after my Note 4 DE. I would say having TiB for moving from one phone to another and Viper4Android since I'm an audiophile is a must for me, plus customization. I have been on PN since I got my 6P from day one. I am not on a lock down phone that I can't customize. I know of allot of Android users that went with phone with no root, since root is becoming harder and harder to achieve. For me, it's a deal breaker.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lucky_strike33:
If you bought your 6p from google store, they are exchanging them for Pixel XL 128gb. For boot loops or battery drainage.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pkelly517:
Not anymore.

I just got a PXL as a warranty 6P replacement
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, the news about that policy changing is referring to those with devices out of warranty. Proud to be holding a brand spanking new XL, though ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dbroer91884:
So I just got a Pixel XL for my Nexus 6p which is great news because I knew that EOL was coming for the Nexus 6p. I've not flashed a ROM yet on my Pixel, just got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP on so I'm good there. I want to make sure that I understand what I'm doing first with this device. I know the slot thing is on this phone and I'm not sure what that means for ROMs.

Per the instructions, I just need to flash the single ROM zip, since Gapps is included and then also flash the new recovery? I'm going to try and use Magisk on this as well, so I will deal with that after I get PureNexus up and running. What happens if I forgot to reflash the recovery? Will the phone boot? If it doesn't, do I just need to go back into the bootloader, fastboot boot the twrp img and reflash recovery? Just trying to get my ducks in a row before I go for this.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also I noticed that the latest ROM is from July 26 for the Pixel XL? Is this correct?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dbroer91884:
One other quick note when I try to flash the vendor image I got back error 255... I don't remember the rest of it right now but the vendor image definitely didn't stick. I did originally slash the pure Nexus system along with the recovery and I booted into it got the pop up saying that it didn't match so I went back to fix that. Would that have caused the issue it should I just try clean Clash of everything?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
I was part of the 6P warranty PXL crowd. The Pixel is a totally different beast from the 6P. Here's what I did:

*I updated stock Android to NJH47D first. (You won't need to flash vendor img again)

https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin

*

Fastboot

TWRP RC1

https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img.html

*Boot to recovery

*Flash TWRP RC2

https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip.html

*Reboot recovery

*Wipe date (format)

*Flash rom (yes, July is most current)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120751470

*Flash TWRP RC2 (again)

*Flash Super SU

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip

*Reboot system

If you want to flash a different kernel, good luck LOL

After I did the above and setup the system, I had to do the following to install EX 1.5 kernel:

*SU app wanted to update binaries...I lost TWRP recovery.

*Fastboot TWRP RC1

*Boot to recovery

*Install TWRP RC2

*Install SU 2.82

*Install EX 1.15

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195921459

*Wipe Dalvik cache

*Reboot system

*Setup EX via EX manager app

Everything is fine now.

Oh they most definitely did not hook me up with it. After 7 RMAs with Project Fi, they did give me my money back fully, but I still had to purchase the Pixel XL from them full price. Good device either way but battery life is just horrible. I will miss it though for sure.

Signing out for now. The wife will be using it now though so I'm not really going anywhere!!! Just waiting for the Beans man! :P
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mayorblurps:
I'm a Fi user (have been since preordering the 6p and sign info up for Fi at the same time. Last Wed evening I waited 2 hrs in the chat queue in the Fi app. It was worth it. I was on my 2nd 6p (refurb) and battery drain/shutdown issues. Explained situation, all I'd tried and done to fix without luck and they sent me a new Pixel XL 128gb, overnight- in my hands Friday. Fi customers *may* have better luck than regular Google store buyers, I don't know.

Definitely love the Pixel XL. Had I not gotten this I would have pre-ordered the XL 2 or switched to the V30 (still eyeing that one). Only problem is the Pixel line has gone polar opposite of what the Nexus devices were, what with the security measures and difficulty in rooting and custom ROMs for 8.0+ . I am still trying to wrap my head around all I need to do to get TWRP, flash PN and root, and then get v4a going. So yay for the Pixel XL for free, well out of warranty but nay on the ease of custom ROMs and flashing, going from the final Nexus (great phone despite the issues) to the Pixel line.:eek:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jawiler:
I just got my replacement on Friday also. I was just thinking about replacing the battery myself when I read about the Pixel XL replacement and someone in the comments said that they probably only have a limited number of them, so I jumped on the phone immediately. 1.5 hours later, they were sending out a new phone. So far, I like the Pixel XL. I haven't flashed PN yet, will probably wait until O is ready. :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JimDiGriz2u:
Part of the Nexus6P escape crowd as well due to battery/shutdown issues. Saw on Reddit a couple of weeks ago that they were replacing Nexus 6P with Pixel XLs and called the help line over this weekend. At the end of the conversation (~20 mins), the agent agreed to forward my case to the technical department to get it set up for replacement. Heard nothing for 2 days. Last night I read news that GOOGLE has changed their policy and stopped replacing the Nexus 6P with Pixel XL which really bummed me out. Nonetheless, this morning (9/19/2017) went to online help portal and the helpful agent there set me up right away. Got an email and ordered Pixel XL 128GB which should arrive in 2-3 days per the email with 21 days to return the original device. Seems they are still replacing the units. Not sure if I will get a new or a refurbished unit. Plan to install PN that I've used for the last two years as soon as I get the device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
Sucks. I'm just finding out about nexus 6p/pixel xl replacement..... Haven't used my 6p in months. I own the pixel xl. If I had known I absolutely would have sent the 6p back for pixel xl so my wife could get rid of her S7. I really dislike Samsung anymore. Their constant need to replicate Google services with their inferior stuff (Bixby, Samsung pay, Samsung apps) just creates more headaches.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dbroer91884:
I'm on Fi though, so don't I want to flash the 7.1.2 (NKG47S, Aug 2017, T-Mobile, Fi carriers, and Rogers) one?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
I chose that build because that's what PN's latest build is based off of. If you flash any other build, you'll need to flash the correct vendor image.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dbroer91884:
makes sense. I just didn't want to mess something up. I wasn't sure if flashing something with out the correct carrier listed is a big deal. I didn't think it was but wasn't sure.

Unofficial Oreo builds

Hey guys.

So, while I'm waiting for my replacement Pixel XL to get to me, I was wondering if anyone would be brave enough to try the 'unofficial' build for me. Took forever to compile, but it completed successfully.

This is the PureNexus Oreo UNOFFICIAL build.

If you'd like to try, please PM me.

Thanks!

EDIT: Seems there is a problem still with TWRP that won't allow flashing of ROM's. *Le sigh*
