This is a better question for the Substratum thread but I know you guys will have the answer: I'm enjoying Android pay but would like to use a sub theme. If I install the theme and then unroot will I be okay? Thanks Ms in advance.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rootnik:
I wasn't sure if I needed to flash the vendor image, so I didn't. It turns out that I did. I had no problem correcting.

How do we know if we need to flash the vendor image, and is there any harm in just blindly installing if you are not sure after installing the rom?

Great rom!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] acidspider:
Did u have to do anything in particular to get it running other than just flash the zip file as I am just getting an I/O error when running the app and it wanting to install the drivers

Edit: update, 2.5 works fine installing the mod but error received when installing the drivers from the app on 2.4

Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rootnik:
I'm using the verizon model with no problems using the linked vendor.img. Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, you should be ok.

I have dirty flashed the rom over using a theme, effectively unrooting. The theme persisted with what seemed like no issues. If you then want to change themes or update the theme you would have to root again.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ne0ns4l4m4nder:
I'm so confused I change sub theme all the time and have never had to unroot then reroot ever?

Went back to use a previous zip file and now working ok so looks like an issue with his latest version

So for today's query, is it possible to launch the google startup wizard again without re flashing the ROM? As Google cloud restore didn't work and I can transfer my data from a previous phone if I can launch it again
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
You can get the setup wizard by doing a factory reset in twrp
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] acidspider:
Looking for a way without any sort of wipe
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Looks like you can launch it with adb or by setting it as a gesture with Nova launcher.

Getting an issue where doing a reboot actually brings me to recovery due to it switching boot slots on me. Once in recovery, I have to switch my boot slot and reboot and all is good.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mpetruzz:
I know that OK Google is hit or miss. Mine was working for the first two days I flashed and now it's not. I've retrained my voice and that didn't help.

Any other things I can try to get it back?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
Which one do you flash?

Also if coming from ElementalX how do I flash this?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Marlin. Flash in TWRP followed by TWRP and SuperSU.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
Do I have to flash the ROM again to go back to stock kernel that came with the ROM like I had to in Nexus?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
You might want to, but I think at the moment Sharkey writes over the whole boot.img, which is why you need to reflash TWRP and SuperSU. I could be wrong and some ramdisk edits from ElementalX might still linger but I doubt it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Haz3:
What order would one flash everything in if they wanted to have PN with TWRP root and a custom kernel(Sharkey's/ex/etc)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
1. Coming from stock? Follow beans instructions for flashing the ROM clean.

2. Boot the OS once.

3. Boot into twrp and flash Sharkey kernel, TWRP and SuperSU in that order. This also goes for updating Sharkey kernel. Always flashing those 3 to keep TWRP and root. (If flashing ElementalX, flash the zip and supersu. The ex zip leaves TWRP intact. Updating ex will leave TWRP and SuperSU intact so you only need to flash the ex zip)

Already on PN? Follow from step 3
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Haz3:
[MENTION=7037416]joetheshmo[/MENTION] I appreciate the quick response!! I'd be coming from PN, thanks for the reply I'll give it a shot on one of my breaks later
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
^^ in step 3 also make sure you flash the NMF26V vendor image. Assuming you are most likely on NMF26U.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Haz3:
I flashed the V image when I flashed PN? Must it be done again?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
That would be covered by step one following beans flashing instructions, but yeah flash the correct vendor if the OS boots up saying vendor mismatch.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
I typed these up on a previous page. These are specifically if you want to keep PN on its current slot and not flash to your other slot.

Make sure you download the new ROM and have twrp rc1 and SU 2.79 sr3 zips if you want those again.

-Reboot to recovery

-Tap reboot button (Take note of current slot. This is the slot Pure Nexus is on)

-Tap on the opposite slot now

-After it switches DO NOT click "reboot system". Instead press the back arrow and then tap "reboot bootloader "

-Verify in bootloader you are now in the slot you just switched to and then boot to recovery

-At this point my storage was encrypted so I just did a "reboot recovery" and I was promoted for PIN again

-Flash ROM

-Flash twrp zip

-Boot system once then go back to twrp

-Flash SU zip

-Flash kernel

-Depending on kernel you may have to flash twrp zip again now

Reboot
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Nope, you should be good.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
Yes you would need to if you've only installed it to one slot. If you flashed PN and V vendor on slot A for example... Unless you follow my instructions to keep it on the same slot then when you flash it normally in twrp it will flash to slot b which does not have the V vendor image yet.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Haz3:
Thanks guys I seriously appreciate it. It's been a rough week for me so I'm kinda scrambled right now and direction is so much nicer to see than shunning or rudeness that occurs most of the time around here.

Installed through TWRP on full stock with no issues initially, but my SIM was no longer registering for mobile data (Verizon Pixl on ATT). Had to flash the new build's radio.img, bootloader.img, and vendor.img and now everything is running perfectly and butter smooth. Ran this on ROM on N5X bullhead and now sailfish and its the best thing we have for Pixel atm. If anyone is on the fence about this: go ahead and flash!

Well done!

Curious what experienced Pure Nexus users like most on Pixel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bbender716:
Combination of stability, added features like substratum compatibility, but mostly the fact that it remains extremely stable. I feel like there are still some kinks to be worked out with some of the more AOSP based ROMs specifically.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] theghazi:
I am on stock , trying to flash it. I put the TWRP recovery via fastboot and when I boot into recovery. Nothing I see but some weird characters in dowoad folder where the ROM is saved. All messed up. When I boot back in to system and use file manager to see the folder all is there. ? Any idea why TWRP I am seeing all messed up ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
It's great!! Didn't think it could get more faster than stock but it was a noticeable difference between stock and PN. I've seen battery life improve and just a faster phone without any drawbacks/hiccups

Make sure twrp is prompting you for your encryption password/pattern/etc. Some boots, it doesn't. If that's not the issue, do you have multiple user accounts defined? That is not supported.

Please view the first few pages of the twrp rc1 thread on this forum. You'll find the Pixel data encryption topic being discussed. Or, Iust perform your ROM installation using an otg external drive to bypass encryption.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maulich:
I believe kernel must be flashed before SU, as SU patches kernel image.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
It depends. Devs provide different, sometimes contradictory, instructions on the sequence to install their specific kernels. In fact, some kernels, like ElementalX, do not even provide full functionalities unless they're flashed after SU exists. Your statement is conceptually accurate, and very much appreciated by me. If I can contribute anything to these forums, it's the very advice that users should know what overwrites what. And your statement shows that. However, don't lose sight that a properly developed flashable image should properly unpack the original boot image, retain what's already there, inject its new instructions, then recompile the new boot image. Twrp usually shows line by line what's taken place when a zip file is installed. If I don't see an entry similar to "unpack...", "extract..." or "decompile..." somewhere in the beginning, I have a good feeling I'm screwed. So, in theory, any image can be flashed in any order as long as the previous boot image is properly unpacked and retained.

I built the latest source and it has the new features in the changelog. Very cool.

I went on to play with ok google. The built in app had some issues. Everytime I said ok google it would want to retrain the voice.

Google app is also labeled as Launcher 3, expected ?

After downloading the latest Google app beta the ok google works from any screen and when locked. However it does not work with screen off. Is it supposed to.

Thanks for the great ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:

google wallpapers is in the rom, longpress homescreen and select wallpaper it should allow you to select random wallpaper a day

i will look into this i havent noticed it, but i will try to replicate/remedy now

yes it happens everywhere thats why you need to install the twrp zip with every flash, this is a pixel thing because they included the stock recovery inside the kernel

its fixed will be in upcoming release

does volte work on stock? if it doesnt work on stock it wont work on pure, if it works on stock it will work on pure :D

ya you will be fine, substratum guys are working on a rootless solution now as well so in the future you wont have to root to use substratum !!

thanks for this comment this is what i aim for :) im glad my goal with the rom is seen from others as well!

i havent pushed the ok google fix yet, so unofficial builds will still be broken, i did this to prevent other roms from taking it and releasing it/taking credit before i get a chance to release it i hope you understand

I've noticed that double clicking power button to launch camera is much slower unlocked than when on the lock screen. When unlocked, rather than just immediately opening the camera, it first locks the phone then wakes it and then opens camera. Subtle but very annoying for someone like myself who notices those little things.

The errors people are getting are most likely due to not using RC1 of TWRP. I didn't for the longest time because someone said it was buggy and ALPHA2 was better. I got those same errors all the time and updated and everything has worked fine since then.

Backup all user apps with titanium backup. Then you can restore them all after flashing PN and rooting. That way she can have all her stuff back quickly and easily.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aR_ChRiS:
Technically, you can, but you would need to flash the latest vendor image provided by OP, also flashing the latest radio and bootloader images are always recommended.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:

I've spent the past couple hours trying to get SuperSu and Elemental installed together with this rom with no luck. I can get root with Supersu 2.79 SR2 (SR3 doesn't work) but if I flash Elemental, I get an endless recovery loop, If I install Elemental first, then SuperSu, I lose the Pure Nexus tool box, get FC's, and still don't have root.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joshw0000:
Correct. On nmf26v system (dunno if it matters).
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bbender716:
Try SuperSU sr1. That seems to be the best for me. I always get problems if I try any others.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Are you flashing elemental 1.03?

All works great for me. SuperSU SR2.79SR2

Root before EX kernel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joshw0000:
I'll try that if I can't get SR2 to work.

Yes, 1.03. I'm beginning to think the issue is a combination of recovery, root, and kernel. I reverted back to my stock backup and didn't have root or the kernel. So I rooted, confirmed it was working, and flashed the kernel again. I ended up having the same issues on stock as I had with PN. I tried multiple combinations, including, restoring parts of my backup at a time, reverting to alpha2 TWRP to install root and/or Elemental, and flashing back to RC1. At one point, I had both working with Alpha2 and when I flashed back to RC1, I ended up in a recovery loop. I must have booted to recovery 20+ times last night. I finally somehow got root, Elemental, and RC1 all installed on the same stock rom. Now I'm afraid to flash off of it for fear of losing root or kernel.

As soon as I get some more free time, I'll jump back on Pure Nexus and see if I can get both working. At least now I have a few combinations to try if one or the other aren't working.

I'm sure there's a good reason, but why do custom roms no longer include root? In the ole days, you couldn't find a non-rooted custom rom.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
So you can pass safety net with loading ROM.

Anyway I really don't know why all those issues. I've applied root and kernel many times.
