I'm on Verizon and been experiencing this as well and I haven't flashed any new kernels. I didn't get texts for a few days and then they all rolled in one morning. Cycling airplane mode usually helps. Very annoying.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spadz93:
I went back to stock oreo with unlocked BL and patched safetynet kernel. So far so good. Might have something to do with flashing the latest bootloader and radio from the oreo build, just wasn't sure they would play nice with a nougat-based ROM and didn't want to chance it

Had this for two months and it's no longer stable and hella out of date. My prediction was right that pixel xl is not getting development. Should have kept my buggy 6p

So what did you get instead of your Pixel XL? Just curious..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
And it makes some of us sleepy! ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
I had the XL for a while, but I ended up selling it for the OnePlus 5. Decided to sell it ahead of the Pixel 2 XL release to get max value for it, and bought the OnePlus 5 in the meantime.

This device was originally supposed to be my temporary phone until the 2 XL released, but the more I used it the more I started to enjoy it. I'm to the point where I like it even more than the XL now, and a large reason for it is because of the amount of development for it, and most importantly, no A/B partition layout!

It's just less of a hassle to flash stuff on, I prefer the design more, and the 1080p screen looks the same as 1440p to me.

Now that there are display issues being discussed with the 2 XL, and the insane price tag here in Canada, I'm most likely just going to stick with my OnePlus 5!

I know some may argue that once you learn the slot layouts, it's no longer difficult, but what I ultimately mean is that it's tough on developers and in result, development is slower than other devices that don't have A/B layouts.

Also, you can easily forget to flash twrp after flashing a ROM for example, and then you lose twrp and have to fastboot boot and then flash it. These are just things you don't need to worry about on devices without this slot layout!

Sorry for the long answer lol but I thought I'd explain my reasoning as to why I switched as well :)

I do miss the camera on the XL though, the OnePlus 5 doesn't come close in comparison, and I miss PureNexus of course! The best ROM ever imo :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
Thanks for the reply.

It's funny, but I had pre-ordered the Pixel2 XL intending to trade in my Pixel XL. But obviously with the screen concerns of the 2 XL, I've been having second thoughts.

I don't mind the A/B layout of the Pixel, but the problem is that the development is very scarce. There is really only ONE good ROM (Pure Nexus) on Xda for XL.

Is OnePlus better with development? Are there more ROMS/Kernels? Are there any ROMs based on OREO? Do the new Android versions come quickly to OnePlus?

The Pixel XL last year was close to $900 with taxes. The XL 2 will be close to $1000 with taxes. Is OnePlus launching a new phone? If it has a bigger screen, I might think seriously about that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
There are rumors of a OnePlus 5t with an 18:9 screen coming soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
Thanks. I had no idea this was true.

IF OnePlus can come up with a 6" 18:9 screen with small bezels, they can have my money pronto.

I don't care as much about the camera, as I do about Custom Roms and Kernels.

The lack of development on the Pixel phones has been disappointing given how spoiled I was with ROMs on Nexus5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 6p. Each of those phones run smooth to this day..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
The camera is one of the most important features for me, and the only ROM I ever ran on my 6p was Pure Nexus. That said, I'm glad I didn't pay for this Pixel XL, because the lack of development, and even forum activity, is depressing. Thankfully, PN Oreo is coming to tide me over, but I'll be looking for a new phone next year. Probably either a OnePlus or maybe Essential v2.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Well the A/B layout is the biggest factor as to why the development is so scarce.

OnePlus is definitely better in development compared to the Pixels, and I believe there are a couple of Oreo ROMs available right now. Lots of ROMs and Kernels to choose from! However I'm not on those Oreo ROMs, I'm on a ROM called PureFusion as it's based on PureNexus! Should be getting Oreo support soon!

Android versions don't come out as quick as they do for Google phones, but I personally don't think they take that long either (some will disagree with this but that's fine).

Camera is pretty important to me too, which is why I was/am kind of disappointed with the camera on the OnePlus 5. I'm hoping Essential 2 can deliver as well, as I'd definitely consider that device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
I had high hopes for both the OP5 and the Essential phone. Camera reviews on both discouraged me from buying. Kinda glad now, since my Nexus 6p battery went and died, giving me the opportunity to take advantage of Google's excellent customer service and get a free Pixel XL. That lets me wait another year for a better option.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
Thanks for the details. I think quickest Android updates don't matter as much, as having features and stability in a ROM does. The monthly patches and security fixes are mostly incremental. And things don't really change all that much until a new version of Android.

I'll definitely try out PureFusion. We don't have a single OREO based custom ROM for Pixel XL, however the OnePlus already has some. This tells me that one plus has Pixel beat in terms of development. I love the Pixel XL, but that is definitely disheartening. The only reason I bought every single Nexus device released (starting from Nexus S) and all Pixel devices - was because of the ROM development.

I am not sure about the Essential Phone, since it is close to the same price as Pixel. Why would I spend that kind of money on a non-google Phone.

What makes the OnePlus 5 so tempting is that it LESS than half the price of a Pixel. Consider also that OnePlus does NOT charge Tax. Following is the exact price (in US $)

OnePlus 5 (64 GB + 6 GB RAM) : $479 + $0 Tax.

Pixel XL 2 (64 GB): $849 + $80.6 Tax = $ 929.7. The 128 GB is $1000+ inclusive of Taxes.

So One Plus is LESS than half of the Pixel 2 XL cost. So maybe if the camera is slightly inferior, one can live with that considering you save $500 (compared to Pixel).

Again, that there is higher development is just the icing on the cake.

I'm desperately waiting for a bigger screen OnePlus phone. If they have a 5.8" or 6.0" screen at less than $600 - I'd buy with my eyes closed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SlyUK:
Is the A/B Partition layout still going to be a problem for rom development on the new Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
I don't think it will be as much of a problem just because developers have had the past year to figure the whole partition thing out. But I'd imagine it still isn't going to be as easy/seamless as devices that don't have the partitions, so that's a big reason as to why I may just stick with OnePlus.

We'll see how things are in time though, I may pick up a 2XL a little later on when the price goes down a bit, and by then I'm hoping there will be stable builds of PN for it as well. It's hard to pass up on that camera on the new Pixels :p
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
im pretty let down by the pixel 2 xl. no 3.5mm jack, poor display. guess ill be sticking with my og pixel xl

well i plan on selling it because i need a 128gb. 32gb is not enough for me. is there a BST on here or just swappa? i already have it listed on swappa
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
Maybe it's just me, but I think all the talk and complaints about the lack of development in a developer's thread is kind of tacky.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
+1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
I don't think any of us have complained about beans in any way. The disappointment is that he's practically the Lone Ranger around these parts. I'm thrilled that he's here and continuing development on this ROM. If my comments were construed as criticism, my apologies.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Soooperstar:
Actually resurrection is alive and kicking as he is working on an Oreo build also. People need to be patient. There have been a lot of complaints going on in all threads around development
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
That must mean it's a pain in the ass to develop for.

Sent from the UnderWorld via Pixel XL. [emoji12]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
The complaining is not against the developers, but against Google in general for abandoning the free spirited openness of the Nexus line, and adopting a more stringent walled approach with the Pixel line.

We are eternally grateful to the developers and try to support them in whichever way ( donations and such). The ROM and kernel developers have done an amazing job even with the restrictions of the pixel partition layout and enabled so many features on our phones that add to the experience.

These developers, not least Beanstown, flar2, Franco ( and several others), are the reason I have bought every single Nexus and pixel phone. I even have the pixel 2 XL on pre-order despite the screen issues and (perhaps) lack of development potential on that phone

So my apologies if the posts came across as complaints against lack of development. I understand that the developers do their best given the constraints.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MeetFace:
Second ^^
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Similar to what others have said, I also didn't mean any disrespect or criticism to any developers at all. If anything, I'm criticizing Google for making it more challenging with the slot layout, but at the same time I understand their first priority isn't catering to us who love flashing/modding our devices. They want to provide seamless updates to the every day consumer, which is totally fine, I was just explaining that this direction Google decided to go is what led me to OnePlus.

XDA/development is the biggest reason by far as to why I've switched from being a diehard iOS user to an Android one, and I've shown my appreciation by donating several times to Beans and other developers as well. I'm not trying to say I'm entitled by donating, but instead, I'm just reinforcing my point that I did not mean to come off as criticizing any developer, I appreciate all the work they do and share with us!

Anyways, I also apologize if I was one of the people who came off as complaining/tacky, did not mean that at all. In fact, this whole topic from me had started from my initial post mentioning how I'm excited for PN Oreo even though I don't even have a Pixel XL anymore, haha. Long live development!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] theandroidguy:
[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] do you think that it is possible to install two different roms on the pixel, one on partition A nd the other on B???
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
Not beans, but i don't think so. I run rooted a and stock PN (no root) b. But I think that is about the extent atm. I could be completely wrong though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
No, definitely not. The partitions contain the system files, but they share one data partition. Installing different ROMs to each partition, and switching between the two would be the equivalent of dirty flashing one ROM over another. It's just begging for trouble.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ra6idr0y:
Tacky like a wonderbread sandwich to the roof of your mouth.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nxkr:
:confused:Just bought a used pixel XL and it has been updated to 8.0 can I go ahead and flash this rom with twrp or better to wait for a 8.0 update??

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] clambert11:
I'd just flash PN now. The current build is very stable. It could be a while before Oreo drops and it's likely not all the features will be in the initial release. Just update on the second release of O if you don't want to do a clean install so soon.

Just do your reading. The process of flashing on a Pixel is very different than devices of the past.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cswithxda:
I'm also for flashing it right away and then re-flash 8.0 when it's out. I received my XL a couple of weeks ago and had this dilemma, too, although I was contemplating running Oreo stock for a while and flash PN Oreo when it comes out. Not worth it. The extra features of PN is too sweet for me to run stock for a month or two just to wait for PN Oreo ;)

Enjoy your PN as soon as you can.

TIA

Okay, so I had a brain fart and decided to flash back to stock and upgrade to Oreo. Yea, BIG MISTAKE. has anyone updated to stock Oreo and then reflashed PN without issue while still on the updated boot and radio? I mean I know it shouldn't matter but figured I'd ask

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

let's narrow that down a bit. how long have you been waiting? If more than 15 mins then yea, something is fouled up. if 5-10 then I'd wait a min or two more. Less than 5 is the norm for me. What steps did you take to flash?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] idigscars:
Hey there fellow Pixel users, i've appeared to have a hiccup installing the ROM. I had PN on my Nexus 6P and installed with no problem, but now on Pixel XL i've experienced bootlooping. I've fixed the bootlooping and tried again then bootlooped again. My phone is currently still unlocked, but was curious what it could be causing this bootlooping.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mikefnz:
The solution will probably be found by carefully reading the instructions for installing PN on a Pixel XL :)

It's a very different process than for the 6P!

I have been having a few weird issues lately with losing my mobile signal. It will have phases where it just drops in and out constantly. I'm not talking about just data. Sometimes when I'm using my phone and this happens, it pulls my lock screen up and I have to unlock it again. It does this regardless of whether I'm on WiFi or not. This started about 2 weeks ago. Here is my phone info.

So I tried the latest radio image from your link and it now says no sim card detected... I tried another one ripped straight from a pixel xl factory image... same thing. What did I break now :o? I'm on Verizon if that helps (phone is straight from the Google store though). I updated it using the "fastboot flash modem (name).img" command. says it was successful both times.

Saw a thread where someone said flashing the vendor img fixed their problem. Try that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
That didn't work either. Ugh.. everything I read said flashing a new radio was super simple. Not sure why I'm having issues. I always research before I mess with anything so I don't know what I did wrong.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
There are two files in the factory image you should try and fastboot. Radio and Modem.img. Two separate images.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bobyouall:
Alright wow I'm dumb. I thought modem and radio were the same thing. I was literally renaming the radio file and flashing it as modem because that was the only file I found at first (didn't realize there was an actual radio file in the image file within the archive). I think I got confused because the guide I read was titled "Flashing radio/modem" and it only listed instructions for the modem. I blame my new meds. Thanks for the help... I got it fixed!

Hi all, having some problems getting PN to boot. I've been able to flash LineageOS successfully but never have I managed with PN. I wipe absolutely everything (including formatting data, and a factory reset), then sideload the ROM. Everytime, phone just stays stuck at the Google splashscreen on boot. Like I said, no problem with LineageOS...suggestions?

EDIT: appears to be working having installed Elemental X kernel (would have installed PN's kernel, but couldn't find a boot.img inside the extracted ROM zip?). At least, I'm getting some coloured dots hopping about...and have been shown the first time setup. I've got an error about the wrong vendor image being installed, will fix that and post back.
