Starting over from scratch every new build isn't practical... Having to change all my settings back to my liking download my apps ect. No thanks... I'm just wondering if this time it's a must since I'm going from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] devilsadidas:
Well that's what I meant. Going from 7.1.1 ROM to an updated 7.1.1 ROM is no big change most of the time. But when there is enough changes for Google to change the build # it's probably best to clean flash. Nothing is ever a must, but even with small updates if you don't clean flash you may cause issues
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dev70194:
It's generally a bad idea to dirty flash between bases. So I wouldn't recommend it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As always, nandroid backup, try it, wipe caches, be prepared for issues and then clean flash later when you do. I very rarely dirty flash. Use Titanium Backup.

Until anyone tries it at length (at least a week or two) with going from a particular build to another, no one can tell whether it would happen to work correctly enough.

He hasn't even released the 7.1.2 ROM yet so no one could say but even if someone did, YMMV.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] guyladouche:
I was wondering if anyone can explain why you need to re-flash twrp after flashing the rom? Is this something new due to the the dual-partition set-up of Nougat?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robocuff:
It's due to the fact that the Pixel doesn't have a dedicated recovery partition like other phones do. With the Pixel, recovery is now located in the boot partition. When you flash a new rom, it comes with it's own boot.img that gets flashed to the boot partition overwriting the previous one. Since recovery is located there, whatever recovery you have, gets overwritten with the recovery that comes with the rom. So, you have to flash TWRP again.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dev70194:
So you could theoretically pre-package a custom recovery into a ROM.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robocuff:
I've thought about that myself. I'm not a developer but my guess is it's possible.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dev70194:
I would think so, it would be pretty cool if there was a ROM with a proprietary recovery that integrated with the actual os.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
Sorry for the dumb question, but Im new to this stuff.

What is the best way to clean flash and not lose everything? I assume you arent starting from absolute scratch when doing one. Is it just using Titaniun Backup to get app data and then everything else is new?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I use Titanium Backup to backup all user apps and user data. I don't bother with system data as restoring system data from a previous version of a ROM can mess things up, as system apps/data might have changed too much for them to be compatible. I use Nova Launcher and for years now I have a special tab of apps shortcuts, for those apps that basically need root/need to be run once after a fresh ROM install in order for it to start doing what it does, this includes non-root apps as well. I'm in the habit and personally, it's part of my enjoyment of a fresh ROM install to go through every category of setting and some system app settings like Phone, to make sure they're set to my preference. Google does the best job ever restoring more preferences of system apps, but I like to check out every setting anyway to see what, if anything, has changed. Plus my overall kinda familiarization with them makes me not mind fresh installs so much, plus I find features sometimes that I didn't know existed.

If things behave weird though, a completely fresh install with only restoring apps from the Play Store using Google's first setup offer to install Apps, and then configuring them more or less manually, is how I've done it too when necessary. Nova Launcher and a few other apps have their own backup system so I can restore those few individual apps' data.

Yellow Tinted Photos?

not sure if its the Rom or the phone. anyone else have yellow tinted video and photos when focusing on any type of screen? as you can see from the Iphone Example same lighting same room but one without focusing on the Iphone ( i work at sprint lol)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AchillesTheGod:
more on the issue.

here is a video of the issue. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzk3I7Ok_RNFcTRFTHZUR0ZjdHM

and a image of my stores overall Lighting
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skitals:
That's the cameras auto white balance at work. It picks a a white reference and adjusts the picture to make that "white" and adjust the color balance accordingly. The problem is the white balance on a phone screen is horrible, so when the camera picks the phone screen as it's white reference it throws off the color balance of the rest of the picture. If you manually set your color balance (cloudy, sunny, flourescent, tungsten) this "problem" will go away.

is there anywhere that has a nice simple, pure nexus vs stock comparison? thinking about moving to it since it seems lineage isnt coming to the pixel anytime ever
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
It's stock with additional features. Lineage and Cynogen where always crap in my experience.

Found DU and RR to be better then CM. PN the best for me.

With new keys, this means a clean flash will be REQUIRED. You will boot loop if you dirty flash. So start doing your preparation now :cool:

I don't seem to get any notification on my lockscreen, am I missing something?

Thanks
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mark2410:
so i flashed, and it seems twrp is gone, err have i missed something? do i really need to re push it from fastboot?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cntryby429:
Yes. Recovery is part of the boot.img on this phone and every rom flash overwrites the boot.img. Most instructions recommend re-flashing the twrp zip after flashing a rom but before rebooting to avoid having to start again with fastboot.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mark2410:
oh, so ive just tried flashing and fastboot seemed to work but, booted into recovery and, nope.

what am i doing wrong?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unhappybirthday:
After you flash a ROM on the pixel, you have to reinstall twrp. From scratch. Fastboot boot twrp image. Then install twrp zip.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] crossen0:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mark2410:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unhappybirthday:
You can't use that command. There is no recovery partition on a pixel.

fastboot boot twrp.img

Then install the twrp.zip from the booted image. It inserts the recovery into the boot partition.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mark2410:
okay got into it, but now the folder "sdcard" contains only a heap of gibberish the twrp and su zips arent there, are they hidden somwhere?

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unhappybirthday:
FYI - sometimes twrp forgets to ask for the encryption password/pattern. Reboot and try again when that happens. My record is 4 boots before decryption.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mark2410:
so next issue, trying to copy a titanium back up file to the phone and it insta fails, any ideas?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] exad:
I'm thinking this has something to do with permissions of the titanium backup folder on the pixel.

what I do is Zip the titanium backup file, copy the zip to the phone, unzip using an app on the phone.

Factory data rest will wipe your apps and settings not your pictures and downloaded items.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Chronzy:
I need to edit that post, didn't proofread very well when editing... Do this:

Flash-all with -w removed

Install twrp (2 step process)

Full wipe

Flash rom

Install twrp again

Flash vendor

Reboot system

Reboot twrp

Flash supersu sr2

Reboot

This rom is so snappy! Feels faster than stock ☺
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] computercarl:
Ok, took the plunge, did everything right, and everything seems 100% except "ok google" is non functional. Any ideas? I signed up for the beta, and also sideloaded today's apk from apkmirror, and none of them work. Yes, I made sure it was setup, I voice trained it, and it doesnt work from any screens, plugged into the wall, screen on, screen off, no response. Ideas?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
When you are flashing TWRP after the ROM just flash the zip straight away. I'm assuming you mean boot TWRP then flash it by 2 step. Not necessary when you are already in TWRP.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peikojose:
Is possible to run this rom uncrypted? I remember with my old N5X I would run that way and some people said at that time that phone would be a little faster. Does that apply to Pixel? Can I do that with this ROM? What else do I need?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
Yea I read the long one about TWRP and SU!! I got 2 after which I haven't read yet cause I'm trying to set up JDK on my computer. My XDA sent folder doesn't show my sent ones either so it must be a bug
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
Right! Heck, you don't even need all those reboots. Change to the slot the new ROM was installed in TWRP and flash SU, then reboot.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kgirlx:
So if I'm on the January V version already, is it necessary to even flash the vendor image since I'm on the latest? Thanks
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Chronzy:
No your right. 1 step install since already in twrp. Corrected. The initial twrp flash after the flash all is the only 2 step. Think my instructions are finally correct lol..
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] quangtran1:
Not at this time. The phone is encrypted out of the box. On the bright side, encryption on the Pixel is hardware-executed (Snapdragon 821's Crypto engine), unlike software-based encryption on older devices. There's no performance degradation. That said, data on external storage is not encrypted.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] csimms:
Do anyone have problem powering off? When i hit power off it takes me to reboot options. Have to reboot into recovery to power off

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dantexaiver:
Staying stock with root and TWRP until development of TWRP, root and Roms matures over the next couple of weeks had some issues the last few days with carbon ROM, getting root and TWRP to stick . Unless someone has a easy list of steps and what root file to use

This phone is a beast but frustrating as hell to mod after coming from a nexus 4 and nexus 5 which was a piece of cake compared to the pixel

Still flash the V vendor. Linked in OP
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Haz3:
Fairly sure you have to have root and then download substratum from the play store.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Archangel:

Got to love these half and half reports of things,,,,some say it works with the beta app others say nothing works,,,others say it works only when plugged into a power source LOL. Did you make sure you were flashed the new vendor?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
6. Boot into the OS, then reboot and flash V vendor image

7. If you desire flash SuperSU

Quick question i was originally on the stock latest 7.1.2 build.

I just unlocked bootloader and installed this latest version Pure Nexus Rom. My vendor was for the 7.1.2 and the latest one for this Rom is older. Am i ok just to leave the current latest vendor on my phone? I get a message telling me when i reboot its not the correct Vendor image.

Will it affect anything to just leave it?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dev70194:
According to beanstown the 7.1.2 version is being released tonight. So I wouldn't really worry about it if your planning on flashing the new release.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ensifolk:
Hi Folks.

I have a quick question which is probably related to my misunderstandings. Is this rom based on AOSP and then built for Pixel ? Or its basically built on PIxel's factory images with added features ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] blaze9090:
"Based on AOSP" like OP says.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BeansTown106:
Okay guys the time is here, finally 7.1.2 for purenexus officially released!!!

a couple things to note:

*the rom is now signed with private keys starting with 7.1.2 this is good for security purposes, but you will be required to clean flash this build, going forward you can dirty flash as long as it is an official release

*this release mostly is focused on stability and getting all the features from 7.1.1 into 7.1.2 without issues, next release will be geared towards going over the feature request section of the g+ community

*with 7.1.2 google updated the radio and boot loader i suggest fast-booting those as well

ok, Lets get to the goodies!!

04/23 PureNexus Pixel Update is Live!!!

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] patrickbartalesi22:
I have searched for an answer but i keep finding different answers. I have read both that a clean flash requires me to wipe the system, i have also read a clean flash is only a factory reset. For a clean flash must i wipe system as well as factory reset or is a factory reset enough.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shinesthru:
Factory reset should be enough, but you can wipe system if you want. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup if you do.
