OMG!!!...Beans!!!... I rock your ROM on my Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P. Now for the trifecta!!! Thanks a million.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] or anyone else. Just explaining why I'm asking this stuff first. I've been having an issue with the XDA app completely messaging up posts and not showing some text so maybe I can't see everything. For an example in another thread I was confused on the OPs instructions and after I posted a screenshot of what I was seeing.. the OP sent a screenshot of what his looked like and mine was completely random and steps from the instructions just weren't showing for me

I'm currently unlocked and I haven't flashed TWRP or rooted AT ALL yet. I've taken both OTAs so I am currently on NMF26U.

From what I can see in the OP the instructions do not say anything about flashing the vendor image. I only see a link to download vendor images but the step by step instructions do not say to flash a vendor. This is confusing because I have read every page of the threads and just about everyone says to go back to TWRP after flashing ROM and flash the V vendor image. Am I missing something or has the OP just not been updated to explain this step? I also see talk about flashing the bootloader. I see no mention of that in the OP either? Would really appreciate any clarification. I like to fully understand everything and make sure I'm 100% before I do anything that way I don't run into issues. Thanks!!!!

Here is what I see.

That's exactly what I did :( thanks for clearing it out for me, will clear the data now. Cheers
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
It's not all but for me Allo, whatsapp, and inbox don't notify me if I restore. I might drop a comment on their app page about it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Would you still recommend using Titanium Backup? It's my first time using it, but I've only backed up so far. I was planning on using the restore feature after the next clean install I perform on my device.

However, reading about notifications not going through has me a bit skeptical. I've backed up a bunch of apps that I rely on giving me notifications (i.e. WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook, and so on).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I would say absolutely yes. Not every app that delivers notifications will be halted. Facebook for instance has always worked for me after a restore.

Also if I have five total that don't work. I have about 52 other apps that are fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
For sure. It's the 1st app I install. You get to know what apps you restore with data, which is usually most of them. The ones that are quirky you restore without data. Gmail/Inbox, The Score and Hangouts I restore fresh. It's a lifesaver restoring a bunch of apps with a few clicks. I back up to Drive so I can download my apps after a wipe.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yankeesfan714:
Do I need to flash a vendor image for NOF26V if I am flashing this ROM for the 1st time?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I've got the vendor mismatch message each time I've flashed the rom if I didn't flash the vendor image. I'm pretty sure I got the message even after flashing from the same factory image as the rom. It's easy to do, only takes a few seconds.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Well, that is not what I was trying to describe. Those steps will wipe the system partition on the correct slot in preparation for flashing PN.

If on slot a, when you flash a rom, you are flashing to slot b. Why not wipe the slot b system partition prior to flashing? That's my point. With dual slot phones, any wiping of system or cache prior to flashing a rom will be on the wrong slot after rebooting.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
That's the thing tho. There is no real need to wipe system. The only thing you need to wipe is /data which is accomplished with a factory reset.

The ROM zip is already wiping the system partition it is flashing too.

Where can I find the NOF26V vendor image?

*Disregard, I figured it out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Read back a few pages and you'll see that I thought the same. However, the Pure Nexus ROM FAQ's recommend wiping the system partition as well. So, if one was to take that leap, I was just saying to make sure that you are wiping the proper system partition on the slot you are flashing to... Just saying...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Oh I know what the Faq says but the direction in the OP work fine. Not to mention I don't think the faq has been explicitly updated since the pixel has come around.

I'd even say it's over kill to follow the faq since you can see the system partition getting wiped during the flash process, some people have that superstitious mindset about wiping partitions multiple times but if one wipe doesn't work you might have some other issues going.

I guess my question is if we can agree the ROM wipes the system partition it flashes to, why bother swapping slots? What is additionally gained?

I'd recommend keeping FIOPS as the I/O scheduler, but changing the Read Ahead Buffer to 2048kb if you're on a 128GB phone, or 1024kb if on the 32GB. This seems to be the best scenario for great battery life without forfeiting multitasking.

Has anyone run across a very minor bug where the power button stops working? I have had this happen twice. It has to do with being in the camera app hitting power button. I will try to reproduce the issue.

When the phone gets into this state, the only way to reboot is to download an app from the Google Play Store that allows rebooting from an app. Of course, after rebooting, the issue is gone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Droid_Evo_8:

I'm having a strange issue when plugging my phone in to charge. I have the "wake on plug" setting turned on, and that normally wakes my screen, and then eventually dims and turns off.

Now, when I plug in, the screen wakes, dims, but just stays dimmed. The screen doesn't turn off unless I manually press the power button to force the screen to turn off. I'm wondering if anyone else had this issue and knows a fix?

- PXL with PN 02/15/17 official build

- V4Arise is the only mod I have installed on top of PN

- ElementalX Kernel

Thanks!

I was kind of hoping that's what it was, so I could simply just turn it off and have this issue resolved.

It's also worth mentioning, this doesn't happen every time, but at random.

i flash pure nexus recently, everything work fine but when i reboot the device is shows vendor image dose not match, anything that i need to worried about or just ignore it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Per the OP you need to flash the latest vendor image. I find it best to flash it to both slots so you don't have to worry about which is the active one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] D0CTOR:
You need to flash the Vendor image using the TWRP image flash utility.The file is available here.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hughcheung:
thx mate, gonna do it now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
-Rogers only means that's the only one people using rogers should be on. Has everything that every other build has plus additional changes for rogers. Won't cause any issues. Vendor image doesn't over write anything but the previous vendor, if you don't use the correct vendor you will get an error message at each boot. Frankly no reason not to use it. As per the directions in the op you have to flash TWRP again immediately after flashing the rom or you will have to fastboot twrp again.

-Nothing else is needed besides what is mentioned in the op

-Seems as fast as stock but with different kernels and set ups your mileage may very

-I haven't seen anyone state "X" kernel has issues with "X" ROM, flash and find out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cowsquad:
Flash PN, then vendor image Nof26w then TWRP.zip reboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Something I would like to stress to anyone that reads this, and correct me if I am wrong. The directions for install work. You don't have to wipe before and after the vendor flash, you can flash whatever vendor when you want. You may need to swap slots and flash (if it's still not working) but otherwise it shouldn't affect anything (other than an error message if on the "wrong" one)

Vendor needs to be flashed as "vendor".

Also you need to boot into the rom first, before going back to twrp to flash SU.

Please keep it simple and do as the op says, then everyone can help you trouble shoot from there.. These steps have worked every single time for me and many others.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Np and I'm not knocking you but with the slots and lots of new flashaholics things get lost in translation.

If you are rooted now then you should be fine but the consensus before was that the rom had to boot once before the SU zip would take after a flash. Let us know if yours took.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Not sure about Fsync.

GAPPS are included in the ROM for the time being.

There is no Odin for none sammy devices. You will have to use adb/fastboot. I am assuming if you already had TWRP then you have adb/fastboot installed.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

A few things.

What version TWRP are you on?

What version of SU?

I would recommend a clean flash

1. Vendor is already present (no action)

2. Factory Reset

3. Flash Latest PN build

4. Flash latest TWRP

5. Reboot to System (rom)

6. Reboot to TWRP

7. Flash latest SU (allow it to reboot to system)

8. Reboot to TWRP

9. Flash kernel

10. Success?

These devices use a totally different OTA setup. Instead of system.new.dat, vendor.new.dat, etc it's all compounded in one file ,per say, called Payload.bin. Lol. There is a point to that, as soon as you flash the ROM , YOU MUST FLASH TWRP. Or lose it. The 3 most important things to do in order 1 flash ROM, 2 flash TWRP zip, 3 flash the vendor.img (only necessary if the roms build fingerprint changed , which most likely did so flash it. In TWRP. Then reboot to TWRP. Because everything you just flashed is now on the opposite slot. We're on A, then your going to be on B following the reboot. So once you flash ROM,TWRP,and vendor reboot to TWRP and flash SuperSU. Done. Note, ElementalX can be flashed before SuperSU if that's your preference on kernel. Not all kernels can yet be installed on top of TWRP.

So I've searched and have mixed reports regarding suhide/magisk etc.

Does this rom have libandroid_runtime patched so we can use suhide? Or do we need to patch this ourselves?

Wanting to test out suhide to hide root for a certain app, but unsure if it is really as simple as flashing it.

Or are people installing Magisk / Magisk Hide over SuperSU?

My pixel xl 128 is faster on PN over stock, and my pixel xl 128 is a bit faster than my unlocked Htc 10 running Viper10 which Viper10 is the fastest rom out for the Htc 10. Maybe its your device as most say PN is faster by far over stock.

I totally agree with you. I didn't realize I deviated from BeansTown106' install instructions. Currently reading them, and aside from the custom kernel before SuperSU, I don't see any differences. ROM, twrp zip, (I did mention the vendor.img needed flashing before the reboot , if not already on the newest, because if done after the reboot itll install on the opposite slot) Sorry if i created any unnecessary confusion. And a slight difference in the root install, I see now he recommends booting up then if you chose to install SU through twrp after initial bootup. He's too sharp for me to go against his recommendations. I'm sure he's got a reason for it. [MENTION=418212]beans[/MENTION]Tow106, I do apologize and didn't mean to contradict your instructions, just read a few posts discussing how to.. And looked (from the few posts I read) , some overanalyzing. I'll never doubt your skills, advice, or intentionally direct sideways from your directions.

I'm sure you've got a good reason, but if I may ask for informational purposes, why the full boot into the os before SuperSU? Little different as hours includes gapps, so I see why it isn't necessary to reboot twrp after ROM and twrp zip, unlike those which require flashing gapps after ROM, twrp, reboot. I've always went ahead and knocked out the Kernel & or SuperSU after gapps. Can't say I've had any adverse effects, and apparently I didn't read your directions, simply flashed ROM, twrp, vendor.img (somehow ended up with the sailfish vendors the first flash, worked fine other than error messages), rebooted kernel and SU. Booted and runs great. Just interested in the rational regarding the SU install.

Now that I've taken up a stupid amount of space on your thread, I will zip it up.

You know the issue will probably lie with Samsung, LG, HTC, hell even Apple. Lol

I've tossed my fi sim in just about every non nexus-google device just out of curiosity. All the Verizon phones got a signal, (theryre all sim unlocked), damn thing worked in my wife's IPhone 6+. But which ever network it picks up on startup, your stuck with. Not even sure how it decides. Def not signal quality. Problems is the OEM's radios inability to switch carriers for signal strength. Googles the only one with that radio capability. There's probably a couple undisclosed closed source commits Google has hidden besides merely adding radio bands.

I haven't heard anything about Magisk. It's pretty simple to flash suhide, but the order matters... You need to patch libandroid_runtime.so yourself, or Fenny has done some of them in the [Guide] Patch libandroid_runtime to allow suhide to work. (Pixel/Pixel XL) thread.

What's all the sudo hiding and magisk for? Strictly out of curiosity. Pokémon? J/k.

If anyone is or was curious, initially your phone had one (A in most cases) deodexed slot and the other was strictly oedex files. Makes sense on the seamless updates. But odexed builds are truly only snappier as I read on the initial boot. Less work, quicker startup. Once its running, there's virtually no difference. Sorry, I keep tossing the 2¢ in you guys chats.

FYI , just switched to PN and managed to adjust the TBO gapps and got them to install properly, no more annoying theme unnecessary warnings. If anyone wants to test drive them, yet to clean install the zip. Going to try and smooth it out more, with some assistance from osm0sis'.
