Nice quick, little guide, super helpful. Coming from Nexus 6. Seems to be similar flashing that 6P users are use too.

Your guide looks like you flashed July Android N factory image. Any reason why I couldn't flash the latest Oreo factory image and than follow the same instructions.?Obviously I see trwp is out of the alpha now so I I would use newest of that.

Thanks for the help. Glad to be apart of the Pixel XL family.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
You'll need to flash the correct vendor image if you start with any other month than what I posted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DreamFX:
Interesting. Anything special that only this one July factory image doesn't need vendor file again?

Also wouldn't that put me at an older boot loader and modem? Wasn't sure if you can obtain seperate updated flashable boot loader and modems with this device.

And my final question. If I do go down the road of flashing a different factory image where do you obtain these vendor files? Trying to get a grasp on what the purpose is? Been doing android since the beginning and feeling like a major newbie with this device with all this slot stuff and reflashing twrp everytime and stuff.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
Welll, the latest version of PN is based off that image. That's why you don't need to flash a separate vendor image; because you already have it.

When you flash an official factory image, the correct vendor image that matches is included. Custom ROMs are a different story.

What's up guys! It's been a long 2 years or so since I've been on android haha. Came back here to see what everyone thinks about the XL2?? I'm very impressed at what the phone has to offer this year. I am debating between it and the iPhone X to be honest. But man Google is really starting to grab my attention again! That Panda theme with the orange power button is my jam!

Pixel 2XL is made by LG. I have always liked LG builds compared to HTC. I have seen a couple of video reviews of the new XL and I am excited to get away from HTC.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Rootuser3.0:
Is this Rom dead?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
Nope, Oreo plus the A/B partition system makes for slow development. Now that TWRP, SuperSU, and Magisk all officially support the Pixel, should make it a pinch easier.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Pandawg:
nvm forgot to wipe before flashing everything lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] clambert11:
You used to be able to extract the boot.img right from the PN zip file. I don't see it in there now for the Pixel XL. Is it hiding somewhere or should I just dirty flash PN?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daniking:
Any news from Oreo? Seems like PN is going to dead
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pkelly517:
You're probably right.

You should move on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Have you looked at the git? You can sync the repo and build PN oreo from source if you want. Beans has been working on it and I'm sure once he has it where he likes it will be time to release. Couldn't really do much until recently anyways we didn't have a working twrp but do now.

If anyone has the new TWRP, and wants to try the UNofficial build of PN, PM me, and I'll give you the Drive link.

Thanks

Thanks all!

PM sent as well. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
I've stopped giving out the link to the Unofficial Oreo build. It keeps bootlooping and system UI keeps FC'ing and I don't have the time to troubleshoot.

I also asked people on G+, and apparently got booted for EVEN asking if anyone wants the link. Kinda petty if you ask me.

Oh well.

Thanks to all who tested!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guitar1238751:
You shouldn't be giving out links to begin with... Anyone can sync and compile a build. If people can't wait for Beans to officially drop the build then that's too bad for them, they can go take a hike. You have the right to sync and compile all you want, however Beans has explicitly forbidden​ people from giving out unofficial builds of officially supported devices. As you can clearly see, all giving out unofficial builds does is give PN a bad name as these early unfinished builds are full of all sorts of issues. Please do not upload and spread unofficial builds. That's the best way for you to get banned and shunned from this community, or any community for that matter. I know people are itching for an Oreo build, however just wait a little bit longer, and when Beans feels the build is ready, you'll have it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jasonsamms666:
I want it!!!!! Please :) oh I can compile a ROM. I just don't have my computer setup to build. But pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase I want to try it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Never knew "Beans had explicitly forbidden​ people from giving out unofficial builds of officially supported devices"

Oh well, it's still in development, and no harm done. Nobody thinks any less of PN, and certainly doesn't have a 'bad name'. But, thanks for being on the front lines of this!

Sorry. Can't do it, bud.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jasonsamms666:
Well then I will search the **** out of it. Do you need testers [MENTION=3544615]beanstown[/MENTION] ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
First off, let me clear some things up:

1. Pure Nexus Oreo is absolutely being worked on; however, Beans is the only one who actively develops it and he's had a busy personal life as of late (I won't go into details as that's not my place).

2. Personal builds are 100% fine as long as they are not shared; that's always been the policy. Beans is a perfectionist, when it is ready for prime time, it will be released.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me in here or via PM.

Second, I am going to continue to release kernel updates for Nougat while Oreo is being developed with the latest Linux upstream so that you guys can stay up to date and secure. They will be available at the below link. This one includes 3.18.73 and 3.18.74.

Can we download this to device and flash via TWRP?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I restored apps and data, netflix is the only one that gave me an issue. Once Im comfortable with my setup I even store some system apps like the stock launcher so I dont have to reset up my home screen.

Rarely do I have an issue and if an app has one it usually always does so it's easy to avoid.

Okay, we've got to get Miracast working. I just spent $1500 on a Stereo deck for my Camaro, and have a Belkin Miracast Device connected to it. The PIXEL doesn't do miracast default!

I rooted, and enabled the build.prop setting persist.debug.wfd.enable=1, and this allows the pixel to enable wireless display, and see the Belkin device. I then try to pair, and the Belkin detects the connection attempt, but then it just disconnects.

All those sites on Mobilefun.com etc all say this is enough, but it ISN'T! I need resolution! Can we add Miracast support to this rom? I know this can be done, it's just a matter of software. I'm willing to do WHATEVER for testing! Gather logcats, etc, ANYTHING! Please use me [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] ! I need to make this work!

These exact versions of Facebook work perfectly on stock so it's not Facebook
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Have any of you more casual Facebook users considered the light weight Metal client? I do think recently it started asking for the Messenger app but still works without it once you dismiss the prompt for it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nam.fbwrapper&hl=en

Not saying the issue shouldn't be addressed if it is one but offering an alternative to anyone looking for a more light weight client. Can also lock it with a password or finger print.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sohilm:
So I figured out the battery drain issue. It is some update from facebook. I was in the beta program, removed myself and re-installed facebook and its gone. FYI,
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scloutkst:
So I had facebook messenger only installed. Battery life was horrible all of a sudden. Not on beta. Dig through BBS to find that the small cluster cpu cores have been pegged at max frequency. Uninstalled messenger and problem did not go away. Rebooted and problem is gone. Others have said they have the Facebook and messenger app installed on other kernels without this issue. I sure hope this isn't a kernel bug. I love this kernel my Bluetooth finally plays flawlessly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dutchy716:
I'm on stock unrooted and my phone's battery has been noticeably worse today. Facebook and Messanger seem to be the culprit.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I've noticed a few new posts on battery life over on reddit in the past few days.

I want to say mine hasnt been doing as well since I loaded the rom sunday but I have also been using it more with all the customization and messing with substratum. I also am not running the official facebook client. I've neglected to check BBS so anything helpful may only be anecdotal but for what it is worth I went back to franco's kernel to see if I notice a change in battery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scloutkst:
So I have this figured out. This is not a kernel issue. This is a Facebook/messenger issue and substratum issue. Every time I install either Facebook app without substratum themselves turned on, I have normal battery life. As soon as I apply a theme to the Facebook apps the cores on my CPU start to spike. After untheming just the Facebook app or apps depending on what is installed the battery life goes back to normal and cpu cores stop pegging.

So is this a ROM and OMS issue? Is is strictly substratum? I'm not sure. But either way theming does not play well with the current Facebook apps right now. This is my take. Test it out and see if it helps you.

Where is the link to download this kernel on this german page???
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
The person who posted the kernel on the German android site had a fit when he saw that I had posted a link to the post on XDA so he pulled the link. Nowhere in the post does it say not to link to it so I'm not sure what the issue was, usually if you don't want something shared you say so in the post.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] milan187:
I don't understand some of these developers. I mean if you just post a link to their page why is that an issue. Not a download link but just so people are aware it exists.

Ahh well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chipstien:
So I've read through 35 of the 52 pages and oddly enough no one has asked if Android Pay is working if left unrooted. I'm actually in love with the way this phone is stock but I do wish I could swap the recent and back button. Hence why I'm even skimming through the thread. So is Android Pay working? Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Yes, Android Pay works. I use it everyday.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] quangtran1:
Probably because that conversation has been heavily discussed in the kernel threads. You need a SafetyNet-patched kernel to go along with your unrooted system partition to use Android Pay. You can use ElementalX or Sakete kernels, and you'll get AP. Sakete patches the stock kernel, EX adds many other CPU functionalities.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
So I replied earlier saying that safetynet wasn't passing on my rooted pixel xl with PN. I've since figure out that it had to do with SELinux being set to permissive. I've figured out how to set it back to enforcing and now have fuctional Viper4Android + SafetyNet passes. I like the WETA approach with AROMA instaler because it's easy to install and uninstall the whole thing if I need to.

Here is what I did (all of these steps are probably not necessary, but it is what worked for me so I'm just documenting it):

1) Ran WETA installer, installed Viper4Android (the older interface version)

2) check that safety net wasn't passing

3) went into terminal and wrote "su" to get root, then wrote "setenforce 1"

4) check that safety net was now passing (yay)

5) opened Viper4Android

6) it didn't seem like Viper was working (I could have been mistaken here), so I clicked "enforce enable" and it started working.

7) I unchecked "enforce enable" and Viper continued to work.

8) Being satisfied that my Viper worked, and that SafetyNet was passing, I went into /system/su.d and deleted the script that was making SELinux permissive at boot.

8) Rebooted and made sure that Viper still worked and safetynet still passed

I know that it was a SELinux permissive script in Su.D causing safetynet to fail. Given that yours didn't fail and you're not rooted, I'm gonna guess unrooted phones don't have a working Su.D? correct me if I'm wrong. That's probably why there was the difference.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nathanchance:
Blueborne is a combination of five vulnerabilities for Android. The September security update fixed four, the patch added to the kernel fixed the fifth so you're not completely safe with just the kernel.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
I did get it working, but I'm not using Magisk, using SuperSU and SuHide and it passes safety net (without xposed of course). It wouldn't flash in TWRP, so I just installed the xposed installer, and selected download and install xposed framework. It worked fine, but I wasn't comfortable using it until it can be flashed through TWRP because if I need to recover, I won't be able to flash the uninstall xposed zip. It uninstalled fine through the app, same way it installed. Lots of my old modules were working fine.
