Yes I had someone reply to me with detailed instructions in this thread. Look.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheUndertaker21:
thanks guys

gonna try that again

i tried arise but boot up with no viper4android

and weta gave me some vendor error.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Make sure you have matching vendor.

To flash the WETA, you need to use TWRP RC1 and flash it, just fastboot boot twrp-rc1.img then flash V4A WETA.

All done.

Is there any harm taking the ota I update that's in my notification area if I'm currently on PN? Other than of course loosing features and data? I am unrooted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheUndertaker21:
thanks Juz

finally got it to work.

i read about needing to flash RC1 in another thread.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amer:
ota update 8.0

clicking the ota update in the notification bar will do nothing if you are on PN.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] localceleb:
I had that feeling, thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swedespeed7:
sorry wrong thread
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
Install instructions are in the 3rd post. Just flash kernel when you flash SuperSU, not sure if the instructions are different for magisk as I don't use that.

I notices this morning the Notification for Android System Update as well.. It does nothing. I was just surprised to see it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
Kind of makes me want to flash stock... it's teasing me :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
I did when 8.0 final came out. Lasted a day and then went back to PN. Haha.

I can't make the temptation go away! I don't even like Oreo's.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
It's really not that awesome. I actually downgraded to 7.1.2 because I was tired of the persistent background notification and the fact that my voice typing kept screwing up.

I love Oreos. Just waiting for a PN version.

I did and once rooted with suhide and got everything working as desired I'm pretty happy. No battery drain, no lag just profit

Pixel XL Oreo
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I went stock, no root and I'm happy with things. Did some traveling and Android Auto worked without a snag. Battery is awesome, haven't come close to running out. I've even considered locking my bootloader. This is making me nervous, but I'll get over it. :eek::eek:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Updated to O too and all is well. Battery last as long as PN or any other rom, Substratum Themes work with all overlay packages, havent noticed any problems at all. I think Google put out a solid update this time. There is even a app called hide that hides that pesky background app notification.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
Damn, now I want to... But I LOVE holding power button while screen is off for flashlight. ? and brightness slider.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
I need all of what PN has to offer like flashlight, brightness slider etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mrwicked:
So is Substratum working rootless yet?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rocketpanda40:
No. You still have to reboot after updating themes as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jk8260:
I'm on Oreo stock with substratum and do not have to reboot when changing themes I do a clear installed themes first though.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jlee08517:
The real question is how do you get rid of this 8.0 update notification?? Haha can someone enlighten me?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
Yup.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iamjimmy:
Does anyone know if the Navigation bar tuner is present by default in Oreo?

I know it is present in PN in 7.1.2. I generally use it to have a soft power button in the Nav bar so that I don't have to use my physical power button.

The problem with the Navigation bar tuner is that the icon doesn't stick on reboot. It remains invisible until you change something in the tuner and save.

I was checking to see whether Oreo has this feature and whether Google has fixed this annoying bug.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] absolutpowers:
Slide the notification right and turn off Google play services notifications in settings
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
Just had my first random reboot. It took awhile to reboot and when it did, it stuck at colored dots. One more reboot fixed it, but now my wallpaper is gone and it set it to something else. My wallpaper was restored from my previous phone. I can't find it anywhere on device. Anyone have this happen or know how I would get it back? It apparently is sitting in my Google account somewhere.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
Doesn't this stop other notifications like app updates and some other things?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] absolutpowers:
If it does then I killed two birds with one stone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
Well I guess you have a point I do hope that this doesn't completely ruin notifications
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] absolutpowers:
Nope. Been getting my other notifications just fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
Google does all it's backups via Google Drive, so would be there somewhere.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
It doesn't show anything that would be a photo that I could pull out. I was able to dig it out of my old phone though. Really odd problem to have though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
I hear ya,,,but this is the first platform update that I actually dont mind being stock rooted. I am sure once the custom roms come out I will try them but I am good for now.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

I believe that you still have to have root,,,rootless Substratum is coming though from what I hear. I just updated both of my themes, Onyx and Translucent to Android Oreo as stand alone apps different from the Nougat ones and never had to reboot when updating overlay packages. Just have to install like 5-6 packages at time or Substratum will crash. Little bit of a pain but well worth it to not have to look at those blinding white screen LOL.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kreizyidiot:
Gosh I did the same thing by hiding the google play notifications.

I am just afraid that the phone might auto-upgrade. I came from the line of galaxy products and and they only allow the notifications to stay for a while and then it auto upgrades when connected to Wifi.

Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
It will never auto update on this ROM.

Is it just me, or can you not disable heads up for notifications?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Almaretto:
I did as in #5009 and no longer get update notification. Worked perfectly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 93fuelslut:
How do you get rid of that notification?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amer:
In the notification bar long swipe to the right, a gear lock will appear click on it and block notifications.

It will also block all the notifications from Google services but it's a temporary solution until we get PN with O.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
i was on july 25th build for a while but had a itch to try oreo. did that (stock with root) and its ok but google chrome was horrid slow. like it would sit for 4 seconds after entering an address. not sure if it was wifi related or app / system related but it drove me nuts so back to this

before going to oreo, i somehow got the system running without encryption and it was nice. seemed snappier. now i cant figure out how i did it. any idea's on how i can do it. if i go into twrp and format internal data it just reloads the system like i just flashed the rom and is re enabled :(

also i think the OP needs to be updated or rom recompiled to include the kernel fix for the MTU issue so people don't have to go nuts wondering why MTP is not working that dont know about the kernel issue

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73552462&postcount=4914
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The next version of the rom will include the fix.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jk8260:
No Android pay, said unlocked boot loader was an issue. Substratum did not work (yet) unrooted. I cannot stand the blazing white notifications and shade drop down. Rooted with suhide is awesome, very happy.

Pixel XL Oreo

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Just followed the simple instructions on the Google factory image web page.

Pixel XL Oreo
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jk8260:
When updating to Oreo, Substratum will work without root if you do not -w (wipe data) because the infrastructure is still there (guessing). Also I have better than N battery life on O but again I also did the -w to wipe it clean when I flashed the factory image. As much as it hurts IMHO when you go to a new major version (ie.. N to O) you really need to -w or you are asking for a **** storm, again just my humble opinion. I actually embrace starting over at that time, and gave me way more free space that I expected. I was struggling to keep 7GB free for a TWRP backup and right now I have 20GB free with all my old apps reloaded, happy camper.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] boostnek9:
You know, that actually makes perfect sense. I didn't do -w (I assume it's an argument in the flash-all.bat) I'm going to try that later. I'll backup my setup and give it a shot. That is for the idea
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jiibus:
Any advice for sudden, massive increase in battery drain from system? I'm on the latest release and wiped cache as well as installing elementalX kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
Use Gsam battery monitor or Better Battery Stats to see what's keeping the phone awake and causing the drain
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
I regret going to Oreo... my batter drains completely in about 9 hours, SoT is only around 2 and a half hours. What the hell, Google?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
That's weird. I'm getting a full 4-5 SOT on Oreo
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Did you do a full wipe and flash or remove the -w? I've heard of people having worse battery life if they left data in place
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
At first I didn't, but then it wouldn't start right for me, so I did a full factory reset while on Oreo. Phone has been acting sluggish so I rebooted it right now and got all of my missed call notifications at once, Phone was force closing before also... and updated all my apps... let's see what happens.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chazall1:
I had issues with my data was still present when manual flashing my Pixel XL. I forun the solution to re format my data partition by fastboot booting into twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img I re format my data partition in TWRP and I have had no issues.

Quick question from one of the many 6P warranty folks that received a PXL as replacement. I got the instructions above but do I need to worry about the A/B slot when following these instructions?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
you could go to a and b and make sure they are on the same bootloader and radio's but other than that it don't matter.

also i would do this

fastboot twrp RC1

Flash twrp RC2

Reboot recovery

wipe date (format)

flash rom

flash twrp rc2 (again)

flash SuperSU-2.79-SR3.zip

reboot system

set it up.

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash kernel from here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73552462&postcount=4914 if you want MTP working or you could use use elemental kernel if you want but i just stick with this roms kernel ( this kernel fix's MTP issue that came in this july update)

doing it this way will also disable force encryption (spent 3 days trying to figure out how to do that) if that matters to you. i think it makes the phone a tad bit snappier.

Love the Rom for the most part just hoping for an update soon. Any ideas? Just asking.

Not pn related but hopefully somebody can help me out while we patiently wait for pn to return. Have an XL on oreo, it is brand new, just opened and beta to update to oreo, and when I connect the phone to my windows pc via usbc to usbc, set the phone to transfer files, and try to send over a file, it just stops like 3/4 of the way through and fails. happens like 8/10 times. Anybody else experience this or have a fix?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
8.0 is being worked on should have a build soon
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buru898:
I did not, but I did a factory reset after upgrading. Flashing it again with -w is the next thing I'll do.

Is my only real option to wipe to try and fix this? I tried clearing cache as well as changing kernel.

Beans does this for free and I respect the hell out of that, so therefore I'm waiting patiently for the next build. However, I get not asking like "YO WHENS THE NEXT BUILD GONNA DROP LETS GO", but I feel like simply asking for an update as to what's in the works isn't such a horrible thing, especially if Beans posted something somewhere regarding an update and someone missed it (which, last I checked, I didn't see a post but it's also been a while).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mikaole:
There will be no O rom unless there is a new twrp.

Looking for a little help IF I decide to try O. For whatever reason I've never gotten the flash all command to work. I usually flash things individually but I've really been out the game so much and so much going on in the home life... What exactly are the parts necessary to flash after a factory reset to upgrade.... Or even just start with a factory reset? I use an older Mac air and flash with terminal. I know the commands and using ./ before all advanced commands. Regardless ./flash.all.sh never works

Coming from a S6 with little to no options, The Pixel has been a GREAT investment! I just went from stock to this ROM, and I must say, wow! loving the smoothness and the baked in enhancements.

I see Pure Nexus in general has been around for a while. I wanted to find out, how updates are typically handled? Can they be dirty flashed, or would it require a complete wipe?

Thanks again for great work!

After reading this stuff about Facebook I checked my battery info and mine is showing only shortly after taking off charger and not even opening them.

In the more recent past I've only had issues with them if they needed me to login.

BTW, I'm DU ROM so it likely has nothing to do with PN.

If you're coming from stock you'll likely have issues some app if you restore data.

When I first started running DU they didn't have Google restore working yet and I restored apps/data from rom toolbox(from stock based ROM) and had several apps that I had either uninstall/install or clear data

It's still probably easier than manually installing everything

Ok so first experience with the Pixel XL and rooting/etc with it. Coming from a 6p which was WAY simpler haha. I think I have everything situated to flash PN, but just wanna be sure before I do it so I don't screw anything up. Already unlocked bootloader which was simple. Currently on 7.1.2 with the April security update. I have the latest June bootloader and radio from beans AFH, but do I need to flash the entire OTA with fastboot or just those 2 files?

Besides those, I already have TWRP RC1 img/RC2 zip, vendor, PN, elementalx and magisk. Am I all good to go with flashing that stuff? I saw someone post the order a few pages ago so I'll follow that order. Just a bit confused about slot A/B? Never had that with 6p so it's still a bit confusing haha. Thank you to whoever can help, if you'd be willing to help and PM is easier please don't hesitate. Beans and the rest of the PN team is awesome for keeping this rom going on the Pixel

Thanks for getting flamed instead of me :P
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] angus242:
Man, you got that right. I'm missing my 6P right about now.

As you've found out, there isn't just 1 place to find out all the correct steps to flash. I just got my XL flashed last night and here's what I did (mostly):

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73761799&postcount=5042

*I updated stock Android to NJH47D first.

*I flashed Magisk instead of just SU and tried to get EX kernel.

*I did get a bootloop during the procedure. Went back a few steps and continued OK the 2nd time.

*Check which slot you are on each time you boot into recovery! I've been told multiple times it doesn't matter but I have had the phone switch slots on me and rebooted from recovery to system only for TWRP to tell me there isn't an OS installed.

*I didn't have EX files on my phone so the last thing I did was setup system and tried to flash EX in recovery. Won't take. I can't upgrade Magisk either. Apparently there are a bunch of hoops you needs to jump through to get EX to stick too. For now, I'm using stock kernel and leaving Magisk on 13.3 B4
