What theme you using? Sorry for the ot
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks but I'm asking what that means lol.. so my user data is stored there? I'm so lost..

If a factory reset doesn't delete my user data.. then why do I see tons of posts from people talking about restoring backups and using titanium to restore.. why would they need to if a factory reset doesn't delete that stuff..

My two questions are

Where is my user data stored

What partitions does factory reset wipe
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Internal data is like your downloads folder and everything else found in /sdcard/ even though these devices don't actually have an sdcard. When you wipe data you are wiping all the app data in /data/

TiBu backups are stored in /sdcard/Titanium Backup/ so they are safe :good:

TWRP also makes backups in /sdcard/TWRP/

It's a little confusing but /sdcard/ is actually /data/media/0/ (and also /storage/emulated/0/) which is left in tact when you wipe data (factory reset) in twrp
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks. Idk why but I'm having a hard time understanding. I know the software is stored on /system. I was under the impression everything else (apps, pictures, settings, all my stuff) was stored somewhere that got wiped when I did a factory reset.

Coming from the S5.. if I went to TWRP and did a factory reset.. all my stuff was gone. So that's why I'm confused because now it's different?

so i flashed this per instructions OP and update #104, everything flashed fine but when i went to reboot to recovery it says No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?. I checked to make sure it was still slot A that is usually on when i flash mods and it was. switch to slot B to see if it changes and still says the same thing. is it safe to reboot? says the samething for bootloader also otherwise i'd just reflash stock firmware and start over.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
It's in the instructions to ignore this message. You will see it of you wipe system. It's safe to reboot jf you flashed ROM.

Quick question: is there a sound mod compatible with this rom that makes the overall sound louder than stock???

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
V4A. Use the weta mod 9.1.

Anybody getting a problem where the phone shuts off randomly and the only way to turn it back on is by holding the power button for 30 seconds? I can't tell if this is a ROM or a exkernwl issue

I've had this happen for months now (though less frequently with the newest version, though who knows).
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
It's ridiculous.

OP any solutions?

Wiped clean and flashed this ROM and TWRP. Reboot into OS.then SuperSU.

If this is part of the ROM time to go back to RR
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Kimbaroth:
Help. xD
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mpetruzz:
You could always build your own ROM. That way it'll have everything you want.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
Oh wow great suggestion lmao instead of fixing a problem on the ROM( that many ppl have) just make my own?

Stop being butthurt and let OP respond

deleted
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
It's not part of the ROM and beans will probably not be able to do anything to fix it if it is unless you provide a log. I haven't had a single random shutdown or reboot since the beginning on this ROM.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] Any chance you can explain how WiFi calling was fixed in the Rom or possibly a commit for fixing it. I'm seeing strange behavior since switching from Project FI to T-Mobile where WiFi calling will work when I restart the phone, but after some time of connecting/disconnecting from WiFi I can't get WiFi calling back until I restart the phone. I haven't collected any log files yet because I was more curious where in the source I can look through the wifi calling features of AOSP. Thanks.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pahlerc1:
umm, I have a feeling you're using TWRP RC2? If so, flash back to TWRP RC1 and it'll work.. I have had no issues flashing that sound mod on several different ROMs.. so it's not an issue with the MOD.. I had issues getting it to make changes through TWRP RC2 even when it said it flashed successfully.. but RC1 works fine

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mac796:
Yes you can just tested it out. You have to install magisk root and use that new zip Goodwinc made. Working good. Tested it out myself. You will have to do a factory reset and install pn again, make sure you install TWRP after you flash magisk zip

What's the easiest way to get rid of this Google Contacts update? It won't update via the Play Store but I'm not sure which APK I need. I have tried a few from APK Mirror but they all fail to install. The ongoing notification drives me crazy.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jawonder:
You can get the latest 2.4.7 apk from the official Magisk thread:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] THATTON:
I looked through there but couldn't find it. It's in the thread and not in Magisk Manager, right? Could you post a link by chance to the APK? Every one I've tried from APK Mirror fails to install.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piccit:
I don't see what Contacts has to do with Magisk. I think his relay was erroneous.

According to apk mirror, the latest non-Android O version is 1.6.20 from Jan. The version in this ROM appears to be 1.4.22, but the Play Store doesn't show that there is an update available. If I manually navigate to Contacts, there appears to be an update, but it does not install (error code 505).

I think it probably just has to do with how the GAPPS were build/packaged w/ the ROM.

If your play store is saying there is an update available, just try clearing the Play Store apps data
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jawonder:
It's in the first post , scroll down to the first "Downloads" where you see "Latest Magisk" . It's right under the link for Uninstaller, click on the (direct link) inside the brackets .

Are you guys getting "your device isn't compatible with this version" when you try to update the Google app in the playstore ?. This is causing apps like Android Auto, Android Ware and other google apps to crash .

Did anyone else have wifi calling issues, and texting issues on T-Mobile on the latest update? My text messages were taking an extremely long time to send and wifi calling didn't seem to work at all. To note, when I flashed the ROM, I flashed the ROM Zip and SuperSU at the same time. Wondering if that somehow screwed something up
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] uodii:
I have issues sending MMS. I need to send the message, then Turn on and off Airplane mode for the message to get sent. When I was on Project FI everything was fine, but earlier this month I switched to T-Mobile and have been seeing MMS issues ever since.

As for Wifi Calling. Not sure if it has anything to do with kernel or just a bad flash, but I installed the latest PN with ElementalX kernel and wifi calling was not working well, if at all. I reflashed PN and stayed on stock kernel and if seems to work well. I made a post a few days ago about these issues, but am waiting for feedback because it seemed like I was the only one. I need to post a log file of the MMS issue I'm having. I'll try to remember to do that soon.

I'm thinking the MMS/texting issue is APN related in some way because I have the same issues on other roms too. It's not exclusive to PN.

Hi, I'm using the latest version (March update) of PN, whatever i did, wifi still drain battery when its on. Is there anyway to fix this? I've check partial wake lock but there isn't any process drain battery. All i can found is Android system and the process that drain battery is as below. Is there any fix or is this a hardware problem? Thanks

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] JGoldz75:
Update: After having major issues with texting and wifi calling, I decided to reflash the ROM and start anew. Fast forward to today, I am noticing that when the phone is connected to an active wifi connection, the phone signal QuickTile displays (T-Mobile Wifi Calling), however USUALLY there is no white filled in the bar service bar. When this happens, I can't make calls or send texts. I did end up getting the wifi calling and texting to work somehow and it worked fine until I went back home.

Another thing - I've only had this ROM for 48 hours, but people who call me when I am on Wifi are claiming that they don't hear the phone ring. They claim it's silent until I answer. Could this be ROM related? It's never happened to me on other phones before. Additionally, I have found the while making wifi calls, the calls seem to drop every 10 minutes or so. How can I help fix this problem?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
I had this weird android system battery drain issue, I discussed it with you a while ago now if you remember, that my phone was eating its battery at a ridiculous rate, upto 87% android system and running extremely hot, CPU temp hitting 67c just browsing with chrome and u could see the battery percentage ticking down approx 1% per minute!

I think I had somehow messed up something and installed onto both slots maybe booted to the wrong one at some point and the phone was doing something crazy, I don't exactly know. I posted a few times and it seemed I was having a problem no one knew how to help with.

But I sorted it out by using skipsoft toolkit, sure you can also use fastboot but the toolkit makes it simple for me and i like simple!

I totally wiped out the phone and flashed back to stock including internal storage after I backed up everything on the phone to my PC including my titanium folder.

Then I made sure I was on slot A and set up PN with Elementalx super su and weta etc same as I did before and never touched slot B ever, I've used TB to re-install all the same apps I had installed before and now everything is perfect, battery life is amazing I'm getting up to 6 hours screen on time even if I leave WiFi on 24/7 and don't take any steps at all to conserve battery.

Phone is also so much cooler now hope I didn't cause any internal damage with it getting so ridiculously hot. I really have no idea what the problem was but just trying to help you out by sharing what fixed it for me.

Please help

Ok so the pixel switching slot stuff is confusing. Will someone please walk me through this setup? I am currently on stock firmware with unlocked BL on slot A. I have TWRP RC1 as recovery. I would like to flash Pure Nexus, Elemental kernel, and super su. I tried last night and had to go back to stock. I don't know if the rom just didn't take or if i was using the wrong version TWRP or something else. Thanks in advance.

Maybe a different issue, still could be a similar cause though 40% overnight is not normal, i use roughly 1% per hour in standby now.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ansontyl96:
When i turn off wifi always awake, my overnight battery use will be excellent, Ive tried different roms, stock, rr, pn but they all have the same wifi battery drain issue. I just tried to do a clean flash earlier but when i use the flash all script it just didnt work, that is so annoying as I cant even flash back to stock and do a clean install...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:

I went back to stock to do a clean install of the updated version of Pure Nexus Rom. Is this necessary.? Forgive my ignorance. I feel like there's a ton of shortcuts that i'm not aware of. I got it fixed now. I used B slot to flash Pure Nexus. Working like a dream now. Thanks for the response.

I've read in this thread people update this rom by just dirty flashing, but I wouldn't try that personally.

Hi, I'm Steven, and I'm a Flash-a-holic. Been clean since my HTC10....

Seriously, been out of the game for a little bit since the Pixel is actually pretty darn good right out of the box. I've been following a little bit and want to get back on a Pure ROM since Beans' ROMs always ROCK!

Question, if I flash the Pure ROM but I do NOT root the device; can I retain Android Pay? Additionally, if I don't root, do I lose any functionality on the ROM?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ansontyl96:
I have this problem under different wifi so i don't think it's problem of my router? Maybe it really is a hardware problem, is there anyway to boot into safe mode on pn? So i can confirm its not caused by any software.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Yes android pay will still work afaik. Only ROM functionality​ you'd lose would be kernel management but sounds like that's not a big deal for you.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] italynstylion:
Would love kernel management but not willing to give up Android Pay for it. I'm under the impression that Android Pay will not work if you're rooted. I believe that's accurate but would love to be wrong! :D
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
There's a mod you can make to let Suhide work (not tested this one personally), or you can use magisk root instead of SuperSu, and have root and Android pay (works for me)

With magisk, some root things don't work well, but mostly only things that have to modify /system (there are workarounds already for adaway and similar). If you have to modify system, you pretty much can only do it in TWRP with magisk
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
Would an app like EX kernel manager work OK with Magisk on this ROM?

I'm considering going down the Magisk route, would be nice to get my credit card app and Sky go app back and be able to use the fingerprint login on my banking app, that's the 3 main things I miss with root.

I don't get why people miss Android pay so badly, yeah its cool, but with the £30 limit it's no different to using a contactless bank card or credit card, unless I'm missing something?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
Ex kernel manager works fine for me with it (the only exception being io scheduler selection coming up blank)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] billiepreks:
I can confirm that, It's pretty annoying I appreciate the FIOPS or deadline mode

Two things:

1- There is no one who has tried to install mods on his Magisk installation ?

2- Anyone has tried a restoration of Backup with TWRP after Magisk installation ? I get some issue with that, including an automatic wipe of /data after rebooting everytime I try to resterez any partition
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] snowdej:
Hate contactless love androidpay

I disable all my contactless cards - I can't stand the idea of them. But I use and love androidpay.... For me the *crucial* difference is that I have to use a fingerprint to authorise the payment. I can wave my phone as close as I like and nothing will take my money without my phone being unlocked pattern or print. Compare that to a contactless card.... Also android pay uses a virtual credit card number, I think that's more of a card provider feature than android pay though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unhappybirthday:
A number of users have reported this bug in TWRP RC2 for the pixel. Many have chosen to stick with RC1. The magisk thread implies RC2 is necessary for successful installation, though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
I was unaware Android pay now has fingerprint authentication, last time I used it which was a while ago now on a Xperia Z5 compact there was no way to apply any security, as long as the screen was on payment would work if phone was still locked.

Is there still the £30 limit now then? Or can you pay larger amounts like Apple pay?
