Again, totally a guess on my part, so I invite others who know to please share their knowledge. But, you touch on a really good point - I'm not sure what factors determine TWRP's determination of whether a zip is a "ROM" or a "mod". It certainly could include a check on whether this is a clean flash vs. if first boot has already been performed. This would explain why SU must be installed after first boot. But obviously installing GApps after first boot isn't going to work well.

What is the Marlin ROM you mention that is unbundled from GApps? Can you link to its installation instructions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I misspoke. The directions require TWRP to be rebooted back into itself and then GAPPs be flashed.

Team OctOS in this forum is one of those.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coldconfession13:
Don't be posting those instructions in here. If it is not the way Beans shows then don't ask for support.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I don't think you understand the context of the post, follow the quoted chain and it will make more sense.. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coldconfession13:
those instructions are for gapps. Beans has gapps installed in the rom install.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Yeah, because those instructions aren't for this rom, as mentioned in the post.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
Nonetheless, I agree that people will get confused. Would you mind editing your post to include just a link to the other directions (and not the directions themselves)? You'd be surprised how many users just skim and don't follow context.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Interesting. I see Team OctOS' directions, and perhaps they're on to something. Or, perhaps some small fraction of their users have bjorked installations because TWRP will install GApps to the wrong slot for unknown reasons. Or perhaps the issue has been resolved in TWRP RC1, and PureNexus is just being overly cautious. Beans has communicated that he highly values stability and reliability -- and that's one of the reasons I personally love his work -- so I wouldn't be surprised if he's waiting for a positive confirmation from the TWRP team that they've identified and resolved the issue with the slot logic. I don't follow the TWRP discussion thread, so I have no idea how that's going, or if it's a priority, but welcome someone to enlighten us.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I'll just remove the directions since you get the intent.

A few ROMs have gone this route without issue

Slim

Team OctOS

DU

Tipsy OS

To name a few. From their threads the only issue is that there is a limited set of GAPPs that can be used (the package specifically developed by Beans if I am correct) and it affects theming so its not the best solution at the moment if that is a concern. I think at this point its a matter of choice until google decides to chime in and force the issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
Interesting. I also just re-read Beans' initial note:

which suggests maybe the only issue is that he doesn't like the extra "reboot into recovery" step?

Help!

Can someone please help me, this is my first time flashing a ROM on my XL. Ive got TWRP all installed but when I try to install Pure Nexus I get an error that says "Cound not find Meta-INF.com/google/androids/update-binary in the zip file. It also wont let me do a whipe before install...get an error there too. What am I doing wrong?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What version of twrp do you have
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acheney1990:
twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] peterlee928:
so i was told by an xda snr member that u need to use the rc1 twrp and su 2.79 sr3. both r latest versions. also to dl the platform tools directly from google site and not use minimal adb. just fyi as i just learned all this info very recently (prob common knowledge for non-noobs like me)

:)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acheney1990:
Haha. Just realized I think I have the wrong TWRP. I'll try that and see if it works. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You should be on RC1

https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/

Download the zip for it and flash it in Alpha 2

Also make sure you are using SuperSu 2.79 SR3

https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

Wont stop you from flashing but if you are looking at the ops for TWRP and SU threads in this forum they are out of date.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] peterlee928:
cool beans

lmk if u need any addl info as i just reflashed a million times on my vzn version of pixel xl

can prob do it blindfolded now lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I'll say, for what it's worth I use minimal adb/fastboot without issue, but having the full package won't hurt at all.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acheney1990:
Thanks for the help. It's flashing now, seems to be going fine. Somehow when I went to download TWRP I selected the wrong one. Knew you guys would know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Glad we could help, happy flashing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] peterlee928:
me neither actually

but i was told - "don't use minimal on these phones. It's not updated for our larger partitions. Use Google's."

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

figured it couldnt hurt

but agree with u that min adb & fb seemed to work fine :)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coldconfession13:
Have to agree with this as well. I have this too
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micmars:
There is one very good reason that the Gapps are included, and it is most definitely the choice of the dev to include them...instead of folks installing the wrong Gapps, Beans includes the right ones with the rom.

As to theme ready Gapps, they work fine...just don't flash them. Push all theme ready or hard-coded Gapps, their respective library files and folders, set permissions and reboot.

PLEASE HELP :)

i was having issues with TWRP not asking for passcode so everything was encrypted and read to re-install TWRP from start meaning fastboot boot then run zip and now i just keep booting to recovery and cant boot system.

i can see all my files are there when i plug into PC but cant boot it.

i need phone for work and should have left it alone and now stuck

thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
Are you booting rc1. You may have to flash factory boot images to both a and b then start over. Flash the TWRP boot image. Then install TWRP rc1. You should be good to go

Do you have a radio version recommendation?

Did you do your Project Fi & Verizon testing using the radio that ships with NOF26V (same since NMF26*) or NOF26W?

Use the one you have unless you are on Rogers Canada.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] calbruc:
Are you using the Google Dialer? Did you enable it in the settings (under Calls, Voicemail)?

Did you enable VVM in the AOSP Dialer first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micmars:
Yes, but if one isn't on Rogers Canada, the radio to which you've linked is unnecessary, as it remains unchanged.

Beast!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
Sorry, I should have clarified that question was directed at [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION].

I can make an argument for using either radio -- one of them is the version that Google has paired with this vendor blobs and Android build 7.1.1_r21, while the other is the most up-to-date version available on my carrier -- I'm curious which one Beans uses.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobbarker2:
The vendor image linked to is NOF26W, where on the Google Factory Images Page it says "7.1.1 (NOF26W, Feb 2017, Rogers Only)". Should non-Rogers users be flashing this vendor image as well or staying with NOF26V?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
Yes, best practice is for the vendor image to match the Android build version, which in this case is 7.1.1_r21 (NOF26W).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] illuzi0n:
can we dirty flash this update or a clean install is necessary?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Try it and report back? :p

I have dirty flashed every build so far.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
I tried flashing new pn and get error system ui has stopped, I tried flashing it to both slots, and same outcome, I guess I'm going to try and do a factory reset and try again, anyone have any ideas? I have never had a problem before with the other PN builds, only thing different this time I had elemental x installed, and I usually uninstall substratum theme before I try, this time I didnt
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
I dirty flashed fine, my steps were:

1. Boot TWRP > Flash Vendor > Reboot back to TWRP

2. Flash PN > Flash TWRP RC1 > Boot System (got vendor miss-match error)

3. Reboot to TWRP > Flash Vendor > Flash SuperSU 2.79-SR3 > Boot to system

4. Boot TWRP > Flash ElementalX 1.06 > Boot System

5. Profit
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
ok now I have done it, I'm stuck in the bouncing dots, whats the easiest way to get to bootloader, computer reckonizes it, but can get it to reboot to boot loader. I tried holding power and volume down, that doesn't seem to work either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Just let them bounce. Takes a few minutes for the first boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Took a good 5+ minutes to boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
no I screwed up, I tried to unroot, and it put me in a boot loop, i did fastboot continue and i got the bootloader to pop up for a couple seconds now its back to bouncing balls

edit, fastboot continue saved me, was able to force it to bootloader
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joeyac02:
Yes and yes so not sure we will see what happens after I update
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buzzboy:
Latest build running perfectly for me. Thanks as always for your efforts. Great stuff.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Due to dual slots. Been mentioned in TBO thread. I'm using Swift Black theme from play store and is working well.

My phone is suddenly dying with 15-30% battery left. Is anyone else running into this? I did a quick search, and didn't see any hits in the the Q&A section or the PureNexus ROM forum. I think it is a somewhat common problem. The first thing google support chat asked me was if I was rooted. I said no, but is this only happening to rooted phones?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jwenthold:
had a substratum theme installed, forget to uninstall before dirty flashing, anyone know if the overlays can be deleted in twrp so I can reboot? It boots and goes straight to system ui has stopped
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Great job on the new update [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] . Do you have it noted to check into the issue noted above? I would venture a guess that it has something to do with the fact that Google Dialer is not a system app. Do you think that you can add it to the system partition on the next update? People may think push notifications are coming through for the Google Dialer with Visual voicemails but they do not. They only come through the aosp dialer app and the UI for that app is basically identical so it is hard to catch. If you open the google dialer only then does a notification appear in the status bar from the Google Dialer out of the play store.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rifraf1:
I noticed the changelog mentions the updated Masquerade app, is this related to the new version of unrooted substratum within the ROM code? Will you be incorporating this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buzzboy:
No, it also seems to be an issue with numerous Stock non-rooted devices. The Nexus 6p is plauged with the same problem.

Nothing but AWESOME PN goodness here :) great work Beans much appreciated !!!!

The encryption causes this to default to not show anything on the lock screen after a flash, did you click the cog in the corner of notification settings?

need the updated vendor img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BeansTown106:
the only difference between the V and W images was the radio everything else was 100% identical, so if your on rogers in canada flash the newest radio, if your on any other carrier the radio is the same from the january build which is radio-marlin-8996-012511-1611190200.img

the only difference between the V and W images was the radio, so flash the vendor i linked in the release post NOF26W as it is the same as the V one just different build #

reboot into twrp and flash the NOF26W vendor image

i will be including google dialer in the future, im working on getting proximity speakerphone working with it, i have arleady got the incall vibration options working, however i have no voicemail issues using google dialer as a data app make sure you are setting it as default, granting all the permissions, granting it modify system setting permission and make sure voicemail is turned on in the dialer options

no it diesnt have the rootless yet, that is still under testing it will be added most likely in the next build

settings>notifications>gear icon set allow lockscreen notifications

there is no battery issue, he was talking about a widespread issue that has been going on for 3 or 4 months across various devices. nothing related to purenexus, if you dont have the issue on stock you wont have it here either
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Thank you for the reply [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] . I wouldnt call it an issue but check your voicemail as it comes in. I would venture a guess that your voicemail notification comes from the aosp dialer even though you have the google dialer set as default. That is what multiple people are reporting when i was putting feelers out in early Feb.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I thought mine was working but then I realized I hadn't removed the aosp dialer after flashing the new update.. Im tempted to make the pixel dialer a system app to see if that helps but I doubt it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hovercraftdriver:
So I am currently stock, rooted on NOF26V vendor image...tried to flash this rom and when it booted up it said I needed to reinsert SIM for service and told me I was on wrong vendor image, that I needed to be on NOF26V. Otherwise, the rom seemed to install fine...What am I not getting?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
You need to flash that w vendor image he posted
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elreydenj:
Thank you. Let me know what you see. Would love for it to work through the Google/Pixel Dialer and not have to be routed through the aosp phone app..... Most people dont notice as the aosp dialer is very very similar in appearance to the google dialer. However i feel that the google dialer is coming along and has passed the aosp dialer with features. Especially now that it has the ability to share and send visual voicemails. OCD hates having 2 apps on the phone and not being able to freeze the aosp dialer.....

is there any chance of me getting this back without starting over?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
You need to fast boot flash TWRP.img , that's just the boot image of TWRP, then install TWRP rc1. After you flash the boot image you have to install rc1. If you reboot into system you will lose TWRP.

Make sure you have a security pin set up before you fastboot TWRP, if it doesn't ask you for it reboot to recovery until it does. It's a flaw but you need it to ask you so it can properly decrypt.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lawtalking:
I had smart lock by location working before I flashed, and dirty flashed, and it is still working.

Okay, well that worked, kinda...got rid of the SIM card message and everything works fine, but now tells me I have to change to NOF26W, which I did...but now the build #(26W) and vendor #(26V) don't match in "about phone" area...but everything seems to work great.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mac796:
OK. Last night when I flashed this ROM I had very bad luck ended up putting me in a boot loop, four like 3 hours, I ended up doing fastboot continue. And finally got to boot loader. So what I did and probably what you should do is download the Feb full image from Google remove the -w and flash. I ended up fishing January's update and then let my phone take the Feb OTA. I had a mess. Then make sure you have pin setup and debugging on and start over.
