I'm on Sprint as well, and they just upgraded the network here. Thought it had to do with that as my LTE speed has more than doubled, but I guess it's just coincidence and the network was upgraded the same day I switched to this ROM.

To everyone still moaning about Assistant "not working", it doesn't say anything about OK Google working with the screen off in the Google app settings. It's not "broken", it's working exactly as it's intended to.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
Yea I was about to reply to that saying its just the icon used for this ROM because I've been using the phone on the same couch since I got it so I knew my service didn't get better lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Ummm no one is complaining LOL,,,it is supposed to work in an always listening capacity which means screen off and not on a charger. Just like Moto's feature it is a semi-big part of the functionality of the phone. If it doesn't work in a rom that's great,,users will determine if its worth it or not. But to say it is working as intended is entirely inaccurate.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I guess that's why Beans said he was looking into it. :-/

No reason to stir the pot. If you don't have issues good for you.

Lets try to be a little more understanding.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Exactly right! I am sure it will get fixed and if not the rom is great in its present form!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
"Works when the screen is on or the device is charging." That's what it says. In the app. I don't understand the confusion.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Archangel:
Nothing brother, it is not that big of deal. But just to clarify your talking about app functionality versus phone/app integration and functionality. The google app works as advertised in this rom however, the phones integration of google app and the always listening function while screen off and off charger is not working as it should than say on the stock system. Like as has been stated there are certain things you give up to gain others in custom roms and this is probably one of them. Not a big deal just something I personally like to have working esp while driving I can tell the phone to call my son on speakerphone and never touch the phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
thank you!

totally random, does this rom have CRC disabled? i remember back in 5.x and 6.x roms disabling CRC would increase performance quite abit.

i have tried looking for the CRC flag in the stock rom but i cant find it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ct_tec313:
It is a problem and we just found our first bug, it's okay people that's what we are here to do test the ROM and find bugs and report them back in a constructive and conducive way for the community that's all I think it all just a little blown out of proportion....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] whodatfan:
Speaking of the google assistant bug, is everyone missing the notification sound when GA is activated? I think I read another user experiencing this, but I uninstalled and reinstalled the beta google app but I still get no notification chime when google assistant is activated either by voice or button press.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ct_tec313:
Here's the proof the people complaining are not off base it's states right there when you set it up maybe that will clear up some of the confusion
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
Figured I would share to get some opinions so we can hopefully learn more about these phones.

I was never rooted and never had TWRP install prior to these steps. I had all the steps typed out before I even performed them so this is 100% exactly what happened.

Last night I was stock and took the OTA update to NMF26U (I did not pay attention to the slot at this time)

Today I went through the process to install twrp, root, and flash this ROM

-I did fastboot boot twrp,img and I saw right away I was in slot A. So this would mean the OTA took last night was installed to slot A.

-Factory reset

-Flashed ROM

-Flashed TWRP zip

-Booted into OS and got the error about the vendor image which was expected

-Rebooted to twrp and flashed V vendor image

-Booted into OS so I could log into snapchat

-Rebooted to TWRP flashed SU

-DONE

So after putting the pieces together.. I know the OTA went to slot A because that is what my first boot into TWRP showed. I flashed pure nexus which we know flashes to the inactive slot. So this would mean that my slot A would still be 100% untouched and running NMF26U. So I figured I'd try and boot into just now and see what would happen.

The first boot booted pure nexus so the slot switch didn't take

Back to TWRP and swtiched to slot A again

This time it booted (I could tell by the white startup screen) and then as soon as I unlocked the phone I started getting error messages popping up. "Google app has stop", "Gmail has stopped", etc. Also the icon for the phone app was gone from my dock. I confirmed in settings>about that I was in fact on NMF26U and NOT pure nexus. The interesting part is that is said I was on the V vendor image.

So i rebooted to TWRP and switched slots and rebooted back to pure nexus on slot B. I again got about 3 error messages about apps stopping (google app, gmail, etc). The pop ups have stopped but something is not right. I can't open gmail now I still get that message saying "gmail has stopped". --EDIT-- looks like this is gaaps related as its only gmail, gboard, and google keep that are closing. Strange how they got messed up

Looks like I am going to start from scratch but I don't mind at all. I am more curious to figure out how/why this got messed up. Like I said I was very EXACT with all the steps I did and the order I did them. So I'd love to know other people's opinion if they know what's going on.

Also one thing that makes no sense to me. If you look at the steps I went through, I flashed the ROM (to slot B), booted to the OS, then rebooted to twrp which means it switched slots, and then flashed the V vendor image which would have flashed it on slot B. So HOW in the word does my slot A NMF26U have a V vendor image? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever because each slot should have it's own vendor image..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
I don't get that chime either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jjayzx:
Anybody figure out how to get by the "Just a sec..."/ google play crash? Phone was updated to latest and twrp. So I flashed rom, then twrp, booted, rebooted flashed vendor, booted, rebooted flashed root, booted, rebooted flashed kernel and then boot to setup. Should have I waited on the root and kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Hey [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] is there any way to add functionality back into the dialer to block "Private Numbers" like PN on the 6P I had? I can only "add number" to block, no option to block "private".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
i have yet to see anyone set up two separate builds on the two slots.

in fact i have not seen anyone set up both slots in working order. when my phone was stock i couldnt choose which slot i wanted to change to, it would just return an error.

when i decided to manually flash the stock fact image, i had a mirror of each in the slots, if i changed one slot, the other mimicked.

maybe im doing something wrong.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yahya1054:
You have to erase data, what I do is backup data, when on a booted slot so for example I have purenexus on slot b uber ROM on slot a I set up both ROMs with data then backup in twrp..when I want to use b or a slot I just restore data.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] qman66:
how do you flash the white stock boot animation that comes with the pixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Is your media volume turned down?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lovemyram4x4:
I don't know if you got this fixed yet(since this post is a bit old).

I had this happen on DU, it was because under settings-apps-settings-default:phone the dialer wasn't set.

Did you delete fstab before re-flashing SU?

One of the problems is not even is flashed to different slots, like data is shared.

You'd need to have both ROMs be compatible with the things that shared.

If you flash PN to both slots but only SU to one you should be able to switch between one ROM with root and one without.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sefirosu0522:
DOH!!! Thanks. What a noob move on my part.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Do yourself a favor. In the command line when you are typing file names. If you hit tab it will finish the file name in that directory for you. So long as you typed enough characters to distinguish it from any similarly named files.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sefirosu0522:
Thank you and everyone else in helping me get this set up. I'm holding on to these instructions for the foreseeable future! They are below if anyone needs them.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
So just copy the commands one by one into a command prompt and run them?

Is anyone else getting this :

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'boot_other.img'

archive does not contain 'recovery.img'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

archive does not contain 'vendor.sig'

archive does not contain 'vendor_other.img'

but still boots up fine?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sefirosu0522:
Wait for the process to finish but if they are named the same way, yeah you could copy and paste. Once step I didn't add is the adb reboot bootloader step once you plug in. Wait for someone else to chime in though. Those are the steps that worked for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Almaretto:
I did notice, if you select "Cellular Network settings" > "Preferred network type," Wifi preferred vs Cellular makes a difference in this menu.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Thats normal
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
Yeah all i got was a ram dump and booted back to stock
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JAYNO20:
A difference how? Mine still says "cellular preferred" when switching from there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
I remember the first time I ever saw that when I had the 6P, I swear I pissed myself, lol. Thought I screwed up my brand new $600 phone. Lol.

By the way Riz, I can flash any Rom and Root it, I just can't use Magisk (requires permanent TWRP), and I can't have TWRP.

So I advise everyone that wants to use TWRP again, stay away from O. Unless of course it means something is wrong with my actual device.

It makes me think that 7.1.2 and O changes the partitions of the Pixel devices, especially because of that RamDump that occurs no matter what factory image you go back to.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Just to be clear. You flashed the bootloader on each slot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Yep.

By the way, anyone here using an Exchange email account on PN? What are you using to access it? I tried using Gmail but no luck, and I really don't want to you a 3rd party app.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] veskostoev:
Try MyMail from Google store.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Can't use 3rd party app because of device policy agreement from exchange server.

Edit: Got Gmail to work. Exchange Services was restored when I setup my device and was causing Gmail to show it didn't support exchange. Got rid of Exchange Services from Play Store and Gmail is now syncing Exchange account.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
I've been running PN since the first release and use exchange for work all day. Use Gmail for email and have the calendar sync'd. No issues at all. What are you running into?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crazykas:
Hi everyone, im new to Pixel. So today i unlocked the bootloader, flash TWRP and finally flash the PN rom successfully. But i did not flash factory images before i flash PN rom, anyhow rom works fine. So my question is , it is necessary to flash factory images before flashing any rom? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Welcome to PN! While not necessary it does help make sure you are on the latest bootloader and radio but other than that you could always just download those from beans site and flash with pn
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crazykas:
Thanks man. I didn't bother about latest bootloader and radio because before i unlock the bootloader i tried whether the phone was on latest update or not: guess what it was on latest one. Anyway thanks next time i'll flash them as well. Is this link you were talking about https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=138509. So when i flash bootloader and radio can i do it one batch and do i have to reboot recovery to switch slots?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
No problem. Yep that's the link. You can flash the both in the same time. You will use fastboot or one of the toolkits to transfer it over. You can switch slots through fastboot commands as well as twrp just depends on what you are doing

This ROM in Pure Settings
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Since going to 05/09/17 build I just did a Factory Reset in TWRP. Now that June images are out, would anyone recommend doing a FULL wipe back to 7.1.2 with original images then flash PN?

Or, is it sufficient enough to just flash PN when the June update comes out?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You're fine either way. Nothing jumps out at me that would require you to need to wipe back to stock though unless you just want to.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
I was thinking the same thing, no need to completely wipe / flash stock. Just usual bootloader / vendor etc.

However figured I've been on custom rom since I have had the Pixel, might be time to flash factory images again and "start fresh".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Yes.

This ROM!

Settings>PureNexus Settings>Navigation bar>Navigation tuner
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crazykas:
Thanks man, i saw it before but had no idea how to change them.:laugh: Now it's done:fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Stramondroid:
Dirty flash on the new bits hosed my phone. No recovery, no Fingerprint reader, and no data. Oh, and the vendor blob doesnt match. So, I get to wipe it and start over. This is an awesome start to my day. Think Im going back to PA. Laters.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SikYou:
That sucks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Sounds like there was nothing in your other slot. Also how do you lose recovery ? If you flashed it after the rom there should be no issue.

Also are you expecting some type of help or just wanted to let us know you were switching ROMs because I'd bet money it ain't the rom causing your issues and it's very likely user error.

You may want to review your steps. Or post them if you are looking for help.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Well I am struggling and could use some help.

When I reboot instead of rebooting it takes me to TWRP. From there it takes many boots to finally get back into the phone. I didn't pay attention when I first flashed so no clue what slot I should be on. I thought A but it keeps trying to put me on B? I have random apps that close for no reason. Maybe it's because I am on the wrong slot? I am on April bootloader.

Maybe I need to just start over and try again? It's pretty random so no idea what trips this issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
If your slots swapped it will cause apps to fc repeatedly. I haven't been able to fix that issue on my device when I was swapping to see if I could just go back to my original with out issue. Ended up doing a factory reset.

I would start with a fresh image or at least factory reset and flash again but note what slot you are on before flashing and then after you should be on the opposite and it should stay that way.

Swapping slots on it's own isn't normal if it is happening.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Is May bootloader still hosed? I have been on April and didn't want to switch because of issues. I might just wipe and start all over. I need to look back and find the right instructions and order to do everything.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
It's not hosed per se. Every bootloader from May on is going to require boot signing if you modify the boot img.

So if you don't want to do those extra steps then flash the April bootloader. Preferably in both slots.

Beans has the BL files in his AFH profile.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
I'll try these instructions and start over later on today.

Think I'll stick with April bootloader though?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I'd say maybe give it a Reboot to Bootloader after you flash the April BL in both slots. Before you fastboot twrp

You also need to flash TWRP after you do such and the vendor.

Also don't let me discourage you from trying may or now June using the VBS, quite a few people got it to work.

For at least right now though I'm sticking with April. I'll be lazy for a little while.

Flash all as in the Google pixel XL (or whatever your variant is) factory image.

Google "Pixel XL factory image" and first few results should give you the page to download the firmware. Look under your device and pick the latest for your variant.

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Got it. Is that the one I change .bat so it doesn't erase everything when I flash it?

Do I use the latest (June) or stick with April since I am using April bootloader?

I'm trying to search this thread but I have 74 pages so it's slow.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Yes, thats where you remove the

-w

switch from the bat file

If you flash april you don't have to flash the bootloader but I would still flash all in both slots.

If you do June, though you will at least know everything (sans the bootloader) is up to date.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Just delete/remove that -w or put something else in it's place? I swear I had all these instructions saved somewhere...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Remove the -w from the bat file. You don't need to add anything.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Right click. Open/edit as text file.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
okay I did all the steps and I used ROM 7.1.2 5/09/2017 and vendor NHG47K.

When I got to my last reboot to do set up it says Vendor needs to be N2G470?

So now what? I thought I was using April not May?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The bootloader is april, the vendor has to be whatever the rom is based off of. The OP has links to the vendors for each month, just download the one its asking for then flash it in twrp.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Getting a few random reboots so far. I set it up as a new device. Didn't really mean to but it happens.

Now I got a ramdump.

Frustrating. I was trying to make it better not worse.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The ramdumps aren't necessarily indicative of something screwing up. I've had them just happen while trying to force a reboot for whatever reason.

Try flashing ex kernel and see if you still have reboots.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
