OK, followed the instructions to the letter. After booting into rom 1st time and signing in to Google my apps are not restoring and I continually get "Google play services keeps stopping"and I am unable to continue.

Coming from Pure Nexus 7.1.1.

No Playstore in apps either. Pixel. XL.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
Did u flash gapps I linked in OP?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Yes, I did. Downloaded from your OP link.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
PureNexus had the same problem with restoring during SetupWizard.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Hmm. I clean flashed Pure (1-06) from stock rooted then dirty flashed subsequent builds and didn't have that problem at any point.

I checked out MD5 of the Pure dynamic gapps download and it matches.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Well, you can't get into SetupWizard when you dirty flash. I'm not sure if he fixed it or not on PN. Just pointing out that it had been a problem for another developer at one point.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Right, but I had no problem with the setup wizard on the 1st clean flash of PN. The gapps were bundled into the Rom at that point. Sounds like it's not just me, then. GTK.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
I like to wipe /system when flashing a new ROM.

Most people don't do that and it's not part of a "factory reset".

I'm convinced my habit is why I have far fewer issues than most users report.

I'm not saying it'll fix any play services errors, I just wanted to mention it is all.

I have not flashed the ROM, though I'm tempted to!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Tried that, too. Same results.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
This may sound like a stupid question but did you download the most recent weekly? Last week's build had Gapps in it, this week's does not. Besides myself, I have 3 other testers who have flashed this ROM daily for the last week and not one play service error or force close on set up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
2017 1-20 1537,etc? That was the top of the marlin list. Isn't that the latest one?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
What's the name of the file you downloaded and flashed

I'm one of the testers and I'm really good at breaking stuff (I keep don on his toes) ...I really feel like you flashed last week's ROM and flashed Gapps over it...Gives bad results

Please make sure you downloaded the build for 20170120

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

That is the newest...Are you flashing anything else with it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Factory reset wipes the system partition. Just FYI.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
It didn't used to. Is that something new?

https://twrp.me/faq/whattowipe.html
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spaceman860:
Factory reset won't wipe system. Also wiping system is pointless on this device device because the rom flashes to the other slot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
Which brings up a point I've wondered about.

What if there is still junk on the other partition.

It may be excessive, but I factory wipe and wipe /system on both A & B partitions before installing a new ROM.

Not for dirty flashing, but if I'm going from one ROM to another.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spaceman860:
When you flash a rom it wipes the system. Just like when restore a backup it wipes the system before the restore.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheUndertaker21:
What theme?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Old Man Dave:
Sorry, it's modernui
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
Installation went fine for me, getting set up. Looks awesome, thanks for your trouble! Nice job!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
After flashing the rom, without reboot flashed TWRP RC-1, Vendor image V, then the dynamic Gapps 7.7.x 2017 0115. Then booted system. Rom booted but then the difficulty began that I described earlier
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
You have to flash rom and TWRP, then reboot recovery, then flash gapps and vendor
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
After I flash TWRP I am already in Recovery. So from TWRP I have an option to reboot recovery and click on that? I did not do that. I guess that moves it to correct slot? I will give that a try later. Thank you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Sorry to harp on it, but any plans to add smartbar? I don't understand why every single custom ROM doesn't use it. Cheers and thanks for developing for our device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
You have to do that or rust your fishing the Gapps in the wrong slot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
OK it works!

Oh, crap.

I rebooted to recovery to install SuperSU to root. I selected English. Then install and..... I can't read any of the file names. They appear to be in some foreign language.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
That's a TWRP issue. Sometimes it doesn't unencrypt . Reboot and go back into TWRP again
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
That was it.

Thanks a million for the help.

Now gotta get a little sleep before I try this out some more.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
So I flashed this latest build, clean. Still has stutter problems scrolling and in certain games. :/

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

Sorry, this is what I meant. It wipes system already.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Does the "Okay Google" functionality work on this rom while screen is off and not on a charger?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BakedTator:
Yes sir it does

Might just be me but in the google play store>settings it says device certification un-certified? never seen this before? Wondering if I did something wrong?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] glensta:
So does mine but I don't see it as any big deal.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Yeah just wondering why it says that? If you click it,,,it says something about maybe not getting updates? Which is weird cause I get the same updates as I did on stock right before I flashed this LOL?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
That is an outdated play store version.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Umm nope I themed it and it is the latest play store version to date,,,it is rom related as I have ran my themed play store on stock and that was never there. No big deal really just wondering why it says that?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Well, that was an outdated version. Just saying..

Read up on what this menu option means: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/01/17/play-store-soon-tell-device-gms-certified-not/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Yeah I have read that. I was just wondering why it started to show on this and another custom rom while for months never showed when I was running stock but lightly themed? Probably just a google thing they are testing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The article was posted about 6 days ago. So one would imagine months ago this wasn't a thing. Also it seems intermittent for pixel users both stock and running mods.

Seems to be a pretty straight forward explanation
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Can't seem to find the QS tile for night light. I'm pretty sure there was one on a previous rom.

Why so quiet?

03/02/2017 Build running tip top for me :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
If it's quiet cause people are happy than I'm OK with it :fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sakuhei:
Is the substratum theme engine OMS one?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] maniac2k:
Are there any plans to add a navbar tuner? If not, is there a standalone mod to swap the buttons around?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
Yeah you should definitely take the silence as a positive sign. You seemed to make the transition (dual system images, no recovery.img..) effortlessly. This is one of the best well rounded quality custom firmware available for the pixel. Feature rich, bug free. I run it and I build for another ROM. ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I'm also going with the quiet is good theory here. This rom has been solid and bug free for me. I've been pretty happy with the stock firmware for this phone but this rom has been as dependable as stock with some very nice tweaks. I appreciate your time & effort.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MontAlbert:
same issue here mate. booted up fine. as soon as i went back and flashed SuperSU it started giving me the google play services issue. clearing cache in GPS didnt help.

Didnt have the issue on PureNexus... weird one. something to do with the Gapps screwing up?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tatootie67:
This ROM is working flawlessly for me and I notice a big difference in battery life compared to stock. I run elemental kernel (stock too). Absolutely fantastic job!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Thinking of giving this a go, it's just trying to pull away from DU but I'm getting very tempted! Looks like a very good and stable ROM!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
Haven't ran Did but have tried a few and this one has by far runs the best and has more features than most (all work flawlessly).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Sounds like I will give it a go then!! Thank you!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Loaded up and running smoothly!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
Please read the OP concerning the next weekly release. We are switching bases to lineage. The main reason is listed in the OP. But I assure you all I have been running this build and the battery life has been better for me than the AOSP base. Lineage base will be full OMS campatible and most of the AOSP features have been added. Although some are still to come. We have also agreed added pulse and fling to the list. I think you all will find this to be as stable and solid as your used to!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
Nice, I will test it then . On N6P the ROM was great, I will wait for the linage build and start testing then. Could you tell me when you are planning to release the first linage based build? Thanks.

It is, that's why I post but I don't want post more because it's not my ROM:)

Are dynamic Gapps recommended or necessary?

Would anyone know if open Gapps would work fine?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimyugbob:
how do i go back to factor? i just got my phone today and rooted and put this rom on and tried to put all gapps on and when it loads there are no apps and it has a warning saying that the vendor images don't match and technically i haven't activated this phone yet and now its not asking me to anymore and I'm afraid i messed something up. please help

and when i go back to recovery it shows cyanogenmod instead of twrp, is this correct?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
Everything is running fine here except I am getting the same vendor warning. Even though I know I flashed the right vendor
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ofthecats:
did you wipe, flash ROM and twrp, REBOOT twrp, then flash gapps and vendor?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Just go back to recovery and flash vendor again
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
The dynamic navbar is nice. One of the things I am missing from Xposed times so I am very afraid it's there now:) great job.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
You didnt follow OP instructions
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
Lol well according to the instructions in the OP, I flashed the vendor prior to rebooting back into recovery to flash Gapps. No biggie I'll just reflash vendor now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ofthecats:
lol looks like i didnt follow the OP because i rebooted recovery after flashing rom and twrp.

after flashing vendor i still have the error message. since i didnt follow the OP correctly, it is possibly the cause.

[MENTION=2645295]v2.2v[/MENTION] you have to flash twrp zip in twrp after rom to maintain recovery
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
Yea I'm all OK with that lol I just didn't flash the vendor in the correct order.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ofthecats:
Opengapps is giving me error 64, aka wrong CPU architecture. The installer reads my architecture as ARM.

Could this possibly be a ROM issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
Have you tried the Gapps he posted in the OP?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
Can't seem to turn off NFC. It's greyed out
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
No, it's no ROM issues. Open Gapps doesn't work with pixel for now , that's why dynamic Gapps are recommended.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ofthecats:
Yes, but it doesn't remove AOSP apps. I eventually went with mini dynamic.

Issues:

1) In tentacles, after choosing battery text, and going into status bar icons, the margin between battery text increases for no apparent reason.

2) NFC switch is greyed and i cannot toggle it. It also kept my phone awake for 31mins.

Aside from that, some force closes, but I'm still setting up. Excited to give it a good run.

Thanks for the work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
So it was the NFC that kept my phone awake?? Glad you figured that out because my phone was "awake" the whole time I had the ROM installed. Had to go back to stock because of it. I'm sure that will be fixed soon enough.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ofthecats:
Yea, wakelock detector told me.

I force stopped, cleared data, blocked services, and froze it via TB, to no avail
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:

Not sure if this is a ROM issue or kernel, but r32 Sharkey kernel doesn't boot on 210 or 217 build.

Just wondering if anyone has a fix off the top of their head
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tatootie67:
Quick question. I'm still on the 2/3 build. Can I dirty flash this or should I clean?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
I think it moved to lineage after that so a dirty flash will probably cause a lot of issues!

By all means try but don't report an issue until you've flashed clean :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tatootie67:
I ended up clean flashing. Everything went smoothly as expected. Still my favorite ROM by far
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
I talked to Despair. He believes it was an OC issue on his end. Try his latest kernel. Should work

Great Rom so far, awesome Base with Lineage.

Just one request?

Pls add a possibility to hide the Lockscreen Clock/Elements.

Lock Clean for substratum does that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaredtritsch:
Got the rom installed and its working great,

However, when I went back into recovery to flash SuperSU, nothing happens. The zip installs fine in TWRP according to the logs, but when I return to system, no root, no supersu app.

If i then go to Google Play and download SuperSU app there, I says no binary is installed. Root Checker fails too.

Any advice? Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Pixel XL, latest weekly, latest supersu from supersu.com.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What version are you using.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tatootie67:
I believe this ROM already includes root. If you look in the developer settings there are root settings. I did not install root but all my root applications are working. The included root still prompts you to accept or deny the apps
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
It does include cm root (lineage) but I still use SuperSU sr3 and it works just fine for me .

Can anybody give me instructions on dirty flashing these weekly updates? Still on last week's, which has been rock solid actually
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cjkacz:
When a weekly build comes out you still need to flash ROM and Gapps. Dirty flash normally works but you still have to be conscious of the partitions. So to dirty flash I boot to recovery. Wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM,flash TWRP zip, reboot recovery (not boot to ROM), install Gapps and then boot to ROM. U will have everything

I can either get a Pixel XL in March or pick up a Pixel 128GB (black) tomorrow... Seems to me it's a no-brainer. I'm used to large phones though (LG V20 currently, Note 5 prior).

(1) Has anyone been upset they chose the small screen? Have XL jealousy?

(2) How is the screen quality since it's not QHD?

(3) Anyone who used to have large phones, how has the transition been for you?

Thanks so much in advance!!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mrjiggywiggy:
I came from a Nexus 6 so the difference is pretty massive between the two.

1. While I would've liked the XL I didn't want to wait two months for it, so I settled and I am envious of it but am fine with the smaller one.

2. I can't tell a difference, in fact I think it looks better than the Nexus 6.

3. The transition was pretty easy, although I still have difficulty typing but over time it'll get better, although it's been about a month already.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fracman:
I had the xl. Used to have a 6p. The ratio of bezel on it killed it for me. Huge phone small screen it seemed. Grabbed regular pixel. Zero regrets. Fit in hand is perfect and bezels are less noticeable. Glad I made the switch.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
After going from the Nexus 6 to the Nexus 6P, I decided to go smaller and get the regular Pixel. I have had the phone since launch and have absolutely no regrets. The Pixel is the perfect size, in my opinion. after spending considerable time using this phone on a daily basis, I wouldn't want a phone any larger than this.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mrZoSo:
No regrets here, loving the Pixel!

Was actually starting to not like the larger screen phones, although they are easier on the eyes, the bulk started bothering me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kathrynhr:
No regrets! I came from a 5.2" device, and I liked that size. Sizeable but not unwieldy, and it fit in all pockets, if barely. My 5" Pixel with a reasonably slim case is about the same size and heft as the 5.2" was with no case.

Personally, I would not have purchased the XL unless I knew I'd be spending a lot of time/money on VR. I think the XL is the clear choice in that case. But the extra size, weight and money isn't worth it to me otherwise.

VERY happy with the Pixel.

ETA: screen quality looks great. The live earth wallpapers, especially, look amazing.
