Okay, would I be correct in assuming it wouldn't hurt anything to flash everything to both slots?

Edit: After thinking about it, anything flashed to data wouldn't need flashing from both slots, as there is only one data partition.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Yeah you're correct, data is shared across the slots.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mlin:
I haven't had a chance to flash the 7.1.2 build yet. However, I'm running the latest version of 7.1.1 and have been since release. It seems like there is a considerable delay in opening the camera using double tap of the power button. The delay seems to have developed over time in a way that I did not experience on stock. Anyone with a similar experience?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Are you using the latest version of adb/fastboot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JAYNO20:
I don't recall seeing such a delay before, but with 7.1.2 it opens within a second of double pressing the power button... :confused:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
So that means the only partition that has two slots is the Boot partition?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

Bootloader, radio, modem, system, boot and likely others I don't know about :P

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Hmm, I need to do some research on this "slot" configuration setup. Seems they are just logical spaces to be able to decrypt the device then? Seeing the title Slot, is telling me there is physically two separate spaces on the physical disc for use. I don't know....blah.

Great Update. Thank you for dedication.

Anyone who updated to the latest version from the previous one can come with some feedback? Do you notice any improvements? Cheers
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello,

The 7.1.2 is supposed to be about stability and bug fixes...

- The battery life improved a little bit in my opinion.

- Transitions, animations and scrolling are even smoother than before.

- AppOps is a nice addition. It provides a better control over apps permissions.

- Navigation bar home button has been centered.

Other than that, it just works as intended. Perfectly... :good:

Cheers...

hey guys, for you guys using magisk on this ROM, i got it to work....however, having issues with adaway. ANyone know of a workaround?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Did you enable systemless hosts in the magisk manager settings?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] docluv01:
ughhhh, my bad. That did it. Thanks friend!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wx9kvh:
Okay, let me see if anyone has had the same issues i am running into.....

Bluetooth :

1 : Since i flashed the march 7.1.1 update, ive been having connection issues with the bluetooth. When i turn the device on, it connects, disconnects, and then reconnects a bit later.

2 : When i do a voice dial from say bluetooth or "ok google", i will say call "person" and it will dial the call but put it on speakerphone.

AdAway

1 : I cannot seem to get AdAway to work, im assuming this has to do with me now using magisk vs superuser, but not sure.

I was able to fix by going into magisk and enabling systemless hosts.

Is anyone experiencing these issues? If so please let me know what you may have done to fix them. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Bluetooth is just kind of sh!T on this phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wx9kvh:
Well that's a bummer. Didn't have these issues on the January update of Pure Nexus. I noticed the issues starting when I jumped to the March update. Maybe it's something on Google's end. We shall see. Thanks for the rapid response!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
It is very much on Google's end. Some other forums with more stock users are having issues with BT and it's a mixed bag of when they start.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wx9kvh:
Oh goody. Lol. I wonder if google knows they are their own worst enemy ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rweddy1:
I have no BT issues at all, after coming from a Nexus 6P and 1+3, my Pixel XL has been amazing compared to those, but I have always been on Pure Nexus never ran it stock ever..

I've got a bug with Smart Lock. I've enabled Smart Lock for my home location and whenever I am at home, it isn't working and still asking for my fingerprint.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling it already, as well as creating another location on top of my home location for Smart Lock and neither worked. Any ideas?

I came over from Pixel Dust before this and AOKP before that and didn't run into this issue with those.

Thanks for confirming, and I notice the same behavior with the screen turning off before launching the camera. Definitely not the same as the stock behavior.

please help me guys ,

i have follow these steps

Factory reset

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Reboot twrp

Flash su

Flash kernel

Flash twrp

but now each time i tried to boot into system it send me back to the recovery

please help me guyes
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello, you should have wiped everything (without internal storage in advanced wipe) from TWRP. This build requires a clean flash.

After everything is wiped:

Install rom

Install twrp

Reboot twrp

Install vendor IMG from twrp

Reboot system

Reboot twrp and install SuperSU

Reboot system

Reboot twrp and install kernel

Reboot system

Good luck... :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
so i dont have to install twrp again after installing the EX kernel ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

Why would you? :P

You can go ahead and use my previous post for reference. At least, this is how I install it myself and I guess other people too... :)

Good luck...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
some post mentioned that after the kernel you will have to install the twrp again as it will lost:confused:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

Nah... Since recovery is now part of the boot.img and PN install will overwrite the current boot.img, you only need to reinstall TWRP once, just after the ROM.

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
Thanks alot now eveything work just fine
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

You're welcome.

Good to know. The install process was confusing me at first sight. I also ended in bootloop, etc... But understanding the partitions changes and after getting used to it, it is pretty straightforward.

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
The old process i did , reach me to brick the pixel . and i spent the day fixing it . but now it is back to live , and your process helped me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

If you're unsure about something, read the few last pages of the thread. It should answer most of your questions. If you still can't find the answer, better ask before doing things. As you can see, there is always someone helpful to answer people questions on XDA... :good:

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
If he is booting back into recovery it's probably not because of how he wiped. A factory reset is a clean flash since in actuality he only needs to wipe data.

If it just loops back to recovery it's not even making it to the os to bootloop because it can't load past the boot.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Neomage84:
So I'm having issues when Project Fi switches to a new carrier. System UI crashes every time it switches. Anyone else having this issue?

×××UPDATE×××

Looks like it's substratum that is causing System UI to crash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hey,

Ok... So it's likely due to reinstalling TWRP over EX Kernel... Not sure lol...

No wifi disconnect issues here......Use it about 80% of my day. At work and home.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] new_world_2006:
Yes I guess this is the reason

Now I need two more things , I am sorry for that

But I need to make sure that , is the pixel speaker volume little low? Can I boost it ?

Secondly , I see a lot of people who change the color and the display to make the screen look more sharp and good , how I can do that ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What problems are those?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 5.1:
Hello,

Go in settings > sound > disable "link ring and notification volume"

Maybe your ring volume is too low. If notification is linked, sound will be as low as ring volume.

Check the attached screenshot...

For color settings, as i see you installed EX Kernel, use EX Kernel Manager if you chose this one and go in graphics > "advanced color control". From here you can adjust values as you wish. Also check attached screenshot...

Other kernel managers should have similar options as long as your kernel supports it...

There is a thread discussing about color settings here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/kcal-color-profiles-pixel-xl-t3547368

Good luck...

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Neomage84:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rweddy1:
No not just you, I think it is hit or miss with BT and also some users having issues with finger sensor.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I heard about the fingerprint issues on 7.1.2 but I haven't seen that in here in the last few pages.

Not saying it isn't issue but what I have seen is alot of users jumping into the deep end on flashing period and thus having a lot of user error problems.

As far as Bluetooth, smart lock location, etc etc. Those issues have been around for a minute. They didn't start with 7.1.2

New to PN. Flashing and forgot the vendor img. Downloading it now. So far what I have seen the ROM is really fast. I was stock rooted with FK but wanted to try out something else. For some reason my pc doesn't see the Pixel XL to allow me to move files but that issue was there before I installed this ROM. Tried different cables and drivers are up to date so no idea what is going on there. I rebooted PC as well. Hopefully Vendor img fixes my SIM card issue as well.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I turned off USB debugging. I tried two different cables. I can see the Pixel to eject it. I can do ADB like the Fastboot stuff. It just never sees it to allow me to transfer files. Yes I tap the USB option on phone and select "transfer files".

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rfranken:
If your phone doesn't see your sim card after flashing this new version of PN, you probably need to bootloader in the newest Modem.

I flashed an updated bootloader and baseband to my Slot B which is where PN is. Slot A was where I was at prior to PN. I learned afterwards about it flashing to inactive slot. So I wanted to get my BL and Baseband up to date. Seemed simple enough. It was, but after doing it, my Baseband shows up as Unknown, as well as my IMEI, like mentioned previously in this thread. Also, phone doesn't detect SIM Card. I've tried a bunch of things to try to resolve it, reflashing vendor image from this ROM, reflashing baseband, using Verizon version which was more up to date, even that bootloader although it seems the same. I even restored the EFS partition from the same model Pixel that I have that is still stock and working, that didn't work either. Any other tips besides factory image restore, which seems like a lock to resolve it, but hardly my first choice.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Your vendor match?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
Yes, even when it didn't match, it still booted fine, just complained on startup. Although I don't know that I tested with SIM Card in it, but it currently matches now anyways, even flashed it again and again, even on the other slot for good measure.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kingdavid7:
So I was an idiot and didn't follow instructions and decided to dirty flash pn 7.1.2 on pn 7.1.1. After doing so I was able to boot but systemui kept crashing. So I decided to restore a nandroid backup I made before but now it bootloops. In addition, twrp is not recognizing that my sdcard partition is encrypted and wont display the pattern screen to decrypt it. Files and folders show up as random letters but the sizes of the folder match my backup. It keeps asking me if I want to mount system as read only. I try rebooting recovery, same thing, reboot to bootloader then go to recovery same thing. I tried both numerous times. I try to move the twrp installer to sdcard but it just hangs. How can I decrypt my data so I can save my backup before I try just reformatting the whole device and start over? I have google play store Pixel xl.

You can try removing root and then logging in after a reboot. Usually I'll first boot the rom and login into snapchat. After I do then I boot back into twrp and flash SuperSU

I do not have issues on 7.1.1 as well with my headset that I use at work, but I do have problems with car Bluetooth. My wife has a Pixel XL running stock and has had bluetooth problems.

Put the latest TWRP installer zip onto your PC inside the adb/fastboot folder. Then go into TWRP onto your phone. Go into advanced setting and adv sideload. Open the command prompt on your PC and type adb sideload "file name of the TWRP installer".zip and it should go through... Then after clean install the latest PN ... Or you could try to restore your back up... Good luck
