It has been a week, and I have not had any of the issues that I was having. I would say that it worked.

Settings --> More (Wireless & networks) --> Cellular networks --> Preferred network type --> LTE / CDMA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] taz1458:
I had mine on lte/CDMA this morning and it did it to me that's why I was wondering. I switched it to global to see what it does.

Hi,

Anyone would help me with WIFI calling please? How to activate it? Is it activated by default? Seems not, as it is not working and I couldn't find any option to activate in PureNexus Rom with Pixel XL. I am with Telstra AU and WIFI calling is already activated by Telstra as reported. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Did you look in settings. Wireless and Networks, more..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrock60:
Hoping i could get some help. I got a notification from magisk to update and i did not really knowing it was not compatible with pixel. Anyways it told me to reboot and after the reboot i have no root or safety net pass. I tried to reboot to recovery but it seems to be missing. I can still not the room fine and would like to just dirty flash the rom again with magisk 12 to get back to where i was. What would be the best way to do this without losing everything?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aaronpw0621:
Fastboot flash twrp RC1. Then flash in twrp rc2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrock60:
Thanks that worked, I'm back to rooted and have twrp. I then reflashed magisk 12 for pixel all good. I am failing safety net still, is this because i need magisk 13?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aaronpw0621:
Most likely. I am not sure which version after 12 is ok to flash for our device. I use SuperSu myself.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kalosada:
Yes, I couldn't find anything there.

You can also use "other" in place of "all" to flash the non active slot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
I haven't tried it yet! I flashed RR this morning and read this just a bit ago.

I've been trying other ROMs out while I wait for the next build of PN to drop, so I should be able to give it a try sooner than later :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
How may recovery slots are there?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Recovery is in the boot.img and there is a slot a and b boot.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Ah I see. So it is possible to flash twrp to both slots a and b. Man, I don't think I'm going to be buying another device with this setup ever again. Too much to remember and too risky to be flashing without a laptop nearby.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
So twrp patches both A and B slots so you shouldn't need to swap slots or anything.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Weird. So here's what happens! If Slot a is active in bootloader, device doesn't boot to recovery. If slot b is active in bootloader, device doesn't boot to use the phone, but can boot to recovery but takes a long long time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Hmm. Have you tried flashing stock to both slots. I mean it would mean starting fresh
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Yeah true that. So it looks like it's always having once I flash SuperSU
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Which su are you using?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Tried both latest beta and stable. Don't tell me there's a specific one for us Pixel people!!!?

I assume if you are on the newest you don't need this but this is the one I use (first zip). Don't need to flash twrp after either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
As pcriz said, Dual boot is a feature of Pixel. Basically there are 2 system partitions, 2 boot partitions and 2 Vendor Partitions. The only thing that is common to both slots is the data partition.

So for dual booting, you could have a custom ROM (system, boot img) and TWRP on both slots. Each of the slots would share the data partition. That way you could boot in either slot since only one system and boot partition are active at one time.

I have dual boot and just have root access in one slot, so that from the other slot I could run apps which don't function with root (android pay, pokeman go, netflix etc). Honestly, I would say the dual slot feature of the Pixel is nice, just involves a few extra steps.

Also keep in mind that for the Pixels, whenever you flash a ROM, you need an extra step to re-flash TWRP again AFTER the ROM flash. This did not happen in any other Nexus Phones (Nexus 5/6/6p/5x etc) before Pixel.

The reason is that in Pixel, recovery is part of the boot-image. So while flashing custom ROM, ROM's boot-img will overwrite TWRP recovery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dcfjoe:
So, if I download the TWRP flashable July vendor image and flash the zip once in TWRP, it will automatically have flashed to both slots? I assume I will have to reflash TWRP after flashing the vendor image?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The vendor you flash in twrp only flashes to one slot, if you run the command

fastboot flash vendor --slot all vendor.img

as opposed to

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

it will flash to both slots.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
That command is freaking awesome!!!

By the way, with the newest SuperSu, I don't have to flash TWRP after either. But I am thinking that it's possible it's causing an issue at the boot level, and TWRP only boots half the time.

Anyone able to get call block to work on this (June) ROM? I don't like some of the app changes that were made and now I can't seem to block calls or mark calls as spam.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] WhiteEVO:
I installed the Google phone app as system default and uninstalled the aosp phone app, did the same for contacts
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Which is which? I can disable one and uninstall another. Very confusing.

Hopefully when July update comes out I'll just clean flash and figure it out there. I just really need to be able to block these annoying calls about student loan junk.

Is AOSP the ones that say Android in app description and Google is the ones that say Google? I want to clear them out but I can't delete the Android/AOSP ones I can only disable.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Dark blue is pixel and light blue is aosp. What's wrong with just disabling.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Nothing is wrong except a little confusion on my part. Like why it was changed in the first part. It seems many don't like the AOSP apps. I'll try disable and see what happens.

I had the light blue one disabled and the dark blue one installed. I still don't have the option to block? I'm on version10.1.161735957 and modify system settings is "Yes".

okay I had to set modify system settings to yes and that apparently allows call blocking. No idea why it was turned off in the first place.

Never realized my voicemail wasn't working either. Now I have 18 voicemails to check.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I think there are a few folks that we're digging the aosp apps and that was the rationale
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jayf99:
If you long press a number in your call history it will let you block the number but not report spam in the aosp phone

I gotta rebuild my stack. . I am glitched. I turned "ON" my portable wifi hotspot on my pixel because I could not attach to the work router because it is invisible . . . and the work folks ( security minded keepers of all things tech . . . ) do not show their SSID . . . and my new but old tech toy ( the Chinese smartwatch which costs four to five times less that the top tier brands . . . ) is not smart enough with lollipop to allow manually 'adding' a wifi connection. string set.

.

So, late last night after watching Leo Laporte's TWIG podcast ( this week in Google ) for many hours . . . I saw the red blinky light on the phone and thought, 'what the hell, why are you not happy as usual ? I turned it on and it showed I had one percent of battery left. And then I remembered I left the hotspot running when I should have killed it. Dummy me.

.

Well, I thought 'no biggie' and plugged in the charger and went to sleep. After getting my usual five hours rest, I grabbed the phone and turned it on and things looked all happy and normal and I set off for the long drive to work. An hour later when I got there and was all settled, I asked my pixel if the play store had any updates to the ninety odd apps I've stuffed in there . . . The store refused to load, popping back out a fraction of a second later.

.

I do various troubleshooting steps to no avail. Then, I dirty flash the latest Pure Nexus with twrp and I 'still' go no play store . . . Yikes ! I gotta format and rebuild the stack . . .

Has anyone had trouble recently with sending and receiving txt messages? Lately I've been having to toggle airplane mode, or reboot inorder to get txt working again. I didn't have this problem on the previous version of PN, and I've restored to stock and re-flashed many times now. Nothing seems to fix it. I'm thinking it might be messing up when I'm switching WiFi networks throughout the day, since I'm in and out of different buildings on a college campus. My carrier is vzw, and my pixel is straight from Google.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
I have an off-topic question regarding WhatsApp/Titanium Backup.

I use TiBackup to backup a lot of apps, with the exception of WhatsApp, because I would still get prompted to enter in a verification code sent via SMS.

Recently, I've been trying out other ROMs out of curiosity, just to see what else is out there, and so I've been reinstalling WhatsApp a handful of times. And then it happened: I got locked out of my account for a couple of hours, for verifying the same number too many times within a short period of time.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to either use TiBackup in a way where a verification code won't be needed upon restore, or if there is another way to backup and restore WhatsApp without needing to enter in a verification code. From what I've Googled, seems like a way to make this work is to not only backup with TiBackup, but also backup sdcard/WhatsApp, and ensure Google Drive is on the device and enabled. If anyone can confirm these extra steps would do the trick, it would be much appreciated!

I'm afraid of potentially being locked out of my account for even longer than a couple of hours - many thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some insight on this! :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Do you wipe sdcard? I don't wipe mine but I still need to send the verification text. The reason I say this is because backing up sdcard/whatsapp is essentially the equivalent of moving the files from the whatsapp folder to the tibu folder then back again. I just dont see how it will stop you from have having to go through the restore process.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Yeah I wipe the sdcard, so when I restore, a new WhatsApp folder is created.

I just Googled it and someone on some other forum mentioned backing up and restoring the sdcard/WhatsApp folder prevents the whole number verification thing.

I thought maybe it could work because of some file(s) in the Backups or Database folder might aid in a full restore (no number verification, just straight to my chats).

But if you say you don't wipe your sdcard and still have to verify your number, then I may need to look for another solution, or just hope I don't get the same issue as last time lol

you sure are a gentleman and a scholar! I love your work!

i can see the rom uses purekernel is this akin to stock? i want to flash another kernel but I'm scared i won't be able to reflash this kernel back and i can't find any information about it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
Cant find (my guide thread located in general) Link?

I used the method from a video on Youtube (Android Explained) he used "Boot twrp.. then flash TWRP RC2..reboot..boot into TWRP recovery...flash Super SU...then flash Wetta Rom..

If you can get me on the right path with the link to the proper guide I would be indebted to you. Although I was able to flash the (Other custom rom without any problem so I do find it strange.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
Yes it is. Backup your boot in twrp before flashing. Then you can just restore boot. Or a dirty flash of rom will overwrite custom kernel.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
My steps were as follows:

Boot TWRP

Go to wipe, hit format data, then factory reset

adb push purenexus.zip and twrp.zip. Install

Boot system and get nagged for vendor

Reboot to TWRP

adb push vendor.img. Install

Reboot and finish setup

It works inside any app from any screen. Just doesn't do it while it's locked.

Thank you, [MENTION=5494687]D0CTOR[/MENTION], for the great write-up. I'm majorly impressed that you can maintain data integrity across two separate ROMs, and I love the suggestion to have different boot animations for each, for visual confirmation of which is booting! On Shamu I loved being able to maintain boot animations across ROMs via the OEM partition (/oem/media/ takes precedence over /system/media), since the OEM partition is untouched by ROMs, but haven't tried this approach on Marlin yet.

Personally I think [MENTION=1013550]lovemyram4x4[/MENTION] has identified my killer use case for the two slots: PureNexus in both slots; one kept SafetyNet-compliant, and the other not. Personally for me, and I suspect for a lot of others, if rooting/unrooting were as easy rebooting to the other slot, I would gladly give up the cat-and-mouse game of keeping SU/Magisk up to date with the latest SafetyNet test.

Common to all these approaches is an easy way to switch between slots - does anyone know of a shell command to reboot into the other system slot? Even better would be to build this into the Advanced Reboot power menu.

I am having this problem as well. I usually don't realize I have a problem until I try to send a text and it fails. A reboot starts it working again. I too am switching WiFi networks throughout the day.

I tried a clean reinstall of PN without any additional apps and that did not help.

It would be interesting to see how many others have this recent issues. FYI, I'm on vsw too.

Just a quick update on this, I finally got the chance to try it today, and I don't know if it worked (the flash-all with "--slot all" added).

I didn't see the slots change anywhere in my command prompt, or on the bootloader screen on my device, so if I had to guess, I don't think it worked. Here is a pastebin of the output, just for your reference/curiosity :

I don't know if that command works with the flash all script/bat. I say this because it's a switch for the fastboot command. And while there are switches you can use for flash all all of them aren't interchangeable.

There was a new build available for that ROM, I tried dirty flashing and ended up with Google Play services crashing every 5 seconds, no phone app, and all Google apps crashing as soon as they are opened.

You have to backup Settings Storage (or a complete backup will certainly do it) in tibu while on your old rom. Then after you flash your new rom and make sure tibu can see your backups, you go to Menu and hit "Manage Android ID..." and "Restore Android ID from a backup" and you should be able to find your recent backup. After restoring it you have to reboot for it to take effect and next time you open tibu it'll ask if you want to keep the new ID. This might keep some apps from recognizing that it's a new phone (rom).
