I've been building Roms, officially for a while but just ventured into scripting. Admiring osm0sis and the things he pulls off. Not to mention these devices are getting where you need the knowledge. Anyway I finally zipped the Gapps, sent osm0sis the link to scope out the scripting.

Your more than welcome to try them. The worst case scenario would be the apps installing in /system_root/app and priv-app, which aren't even a directory. If that occurred, just mount the system in TWRP and manually move to system/app etc.

Was also getting UKM and synapse to work, so haven't flashed the newest zip.

I guess I should, lol, even though they're already installed.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
Definitely, the more knowledge the better. I flashed the zip and it did install to system_root. Was able to move them over, but still get the message in subs. This d@mn pixel. Haha. The battery life makes it worth it tho.

?Tapped from my pure pixelXl?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
It flashed but hold off until I get osmosis to get the damn script to pull the partitions by itself. You can manually place the apks, and I added .BAK to the original app backup add-on and installed the TBO add-on. It shut magpie and all the other themes up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pTeronaut:
Not recieving any notifications on LG Urbane when on this ROM.

Notification access is enabled for Android Wear.

Previous builds worked OK.

Reverting back to stock, as AW is a deal breaker for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
What troubleshooting have you tried?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pTeronaut:
A fresh install, setting up the phone from scratch, which also saw Google Play Services crashing on first boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
It's really an easy fix. Haven't had a bunch of free time. Script , edifying, , it just needs an addition to the install script to push the files in the correct directory.

Needs something similar to this..

OUTFD=/proc/self/fd/$2;

ZIP="$3";

# embedded mode support

readlink /proc/$$/fd/$2 2>/dev/null | grep /tmp >/dev/null;

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then

# rerouted to log file, so suppress recovery ui commands

OUTFD=/proc/self/fd/0;

# try to find the actual fd (pipe with parent updater likely started as 'update-binary 3 fd zipfile')

for FD in `ls /proc/$$/fd`; do

readlink /proc/$$/fd/$FD 2>/dev/null | grep pipe >/dev/null;

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then

ps | grep " 3 $FD " | grep -v grep >/dev/null;

if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then

OUTFD=/proc/self/fd/$FD;

break;

fi;

fi;

done;

fi;

Then should do fine. Already got Viper and UKM with init.d support installed.

I tried this, booted fine after copying the patched libandroid files.

Edit: Wrong version of SuperSU - working now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
You tried what? Sorry got confused, and you've got a thorough thread on suhide. I have at best 3 steps on a clean install, that's too lengthy for my lazy ***. I tried magisk once on angler. Didn't have much use for it and the switching selinix , all for an app I don't use. At that time I used Su systemmode, but those days are gone.

What exactly are you patching that is fixing the scripts edifying? I got that section from osmosis'. Correct me if m wrong but it looks to grep the partitions from fd. Then proceed accordingly, because if it's not there it follows the fstab and botches up the intended directors. Idk.

Guys...I appreciate your cooperation and support in advance.

I have an annoying issue when I play Whatsapp videos. Whenever I press back it doesn't do anything as the video will keep playing!!!

If i press once again or twice, Whatsapp will crash giving forcing reopen message.

I used to get the same issue with stock rom too before flashing PN.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
I tried the steps, and was getting stuck on boot when flashing suhide. Worked out it was version of SuperSU. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blueyes:
Don't use WhatsApp , sorry. But I have no issue playing videos with several other apps I do use. If it's just WhatsApp try checking all the permissions.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
People as Beans has posted before the bluetooth issues are not rom related, they are google issues and have nothing to do with this rom.

But many of us, including myself have no bluetooth issues on this rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The implication isn't that they are ROM related. The discussion started with the March update possibly fixing them, because lots of people are having issues with pixels in general. That's two updates in a row that call out BT fixes.

Okay.

I am using this Anker adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AHKYIRS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

then tied into this little puppy of 'off-line' Sandisk storage.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RBGYGPG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

.

Sandisk has a nice app in the play store too. The app says no go . . . . . .

So one of those two is a turkey ?

Why not as a base line simply take the USB-C to USB adaptor included with the pixel and see if it recognizes the drive and then you will narrow down what you ae trouble shooting if the thumbdrive works with the adaptor.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thehotboy:
Beans previously posted that this build will support rootless. I mean it was just released today so it might be a few days until the next build is released.

Personally I can't wait as the only reason I root at the moment is for substratum
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:
.

Ah, I found that . . . . and have that here . . .

https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_usb_standard_a_adapter

.

the female end is the "big" one and is not the micro that is required to mate with the Sandisk.

.

I have contacted SanDisk and will wait ( and hope ) that something good comes from their 'support' . . .
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What do you mean "mate" with sandisk?

Did you connect the usb 3.0 connector to the adapter to see if your device even recognized it?

The sandisk software is another level of troubleshooting that should be held off on until you can at least verify otg works on your device. I will say with the adaptor and a regular thumbdrive at my desk I had no issues so I doubt its a rom issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
This is the one that came in the box with your pixel. Worked fine just now. I even used the one from my Note 7 and it worked with some bootleg Chinese 128gb thumb drive.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Is your Bluetooth indicator grey? Mine is if I disconnect my headset and only have my watch connected. I may be mistaken but a greyed BT indicator is indicative of BLE (blue tooth low energy mode) for more passive connections like wearables and such.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] D0CTOR:
Here's what I use, and the response from my Pixel:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
I bet you the adapter he is using isn't pinned out right and is only allowing a charge despite the description.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] D0CTOR:
I'll bet that you're right. Pixel original equipment FTW....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:
yes, I guess . . .

.

Point 1 - the SanDisk "dual" micro usb drive works fine plugging into shammu ( nexus 6 ). But that ( backup ) phone has been in the sock drawer for months. . . . groan.

.

Point 2 - using the adapter cable out of the pixel box makes the couple of ancient flash drives ( I got ) answer up and show their contents just fine to the pixel when plugged in.

.

Is there such a magical interface cable/adapter so that the pixel would talk to the SanDisk ? . Usb should not be 'rocket science' , and then you assume , and then ugly things happen.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Don't think the drive is the issue.. I think it's this

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Yeah I would stay from those on the Pixel. Only a very very VERY select few work!!! Ben Huong(spell check) reviews a bunch of those. Any of them that he reviews and says work, should work on the Pixel devices. I would just say like you did and use the provided adapter! Pretty freaking awesome they included one, AND a freaking amicable USB->Type C cable.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
So I have a thumbdrive that has micro-usb on one side and USB 3.0 on the other.. It works fine with the Pixel supplied USB to USB C adapter.

I then take my old Micro to USB C adapter from my retired Note 7 and plug in the micro end of my thumbdrive to the phone and nothing happens. I just tried it about 5 minutes ago. Also to make sure the micro to usb c adapter at least worked partially, I connected a micro charger and my Pixel showed it was slow charging.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Pins are not correct. They built that poorly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
On the Sammy one? I don't doubt it. So many people had issues with the stock cables not registering fast charge either. I kept the ones from my three Note 7s, came in handy when I was left without a USB C cable for my pixel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] qman66:
It's white on stock and AOSP. But on this rom it's gray. Looks weird.

BTW i am on pure nexus rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] buzzboy:
It was due to a slight balls up with the update rollout. We just have to wait for the next PureNexus update which will include rootless substratum. There may be another playstore update which temporarily fixes the issue, but don't hold your breath.

There's not a lot you can do for now.

I've tried all of the troubleshooting mentioned on the Google + page, with no success.

I have a question regarding "Caller-ID and Spam or Google". This function is not available in the phone and call Settings. Stock is available..

Where can I activate it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Think you may need to the Google dialer.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer

You will have to make it the default but if you freeze or delete the other one you won't get push notifications for voicemail. So basically you have to open the phone app before it will notify.

I uninstalled Substratum 604, and reinstalled substratum 563 from here:

Verizon?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
If your pixel xl is a verizon model meaning not sold by the play store then you might be screwed. If its a verizon one run depixel8 again and unlock your bootloader and never relock it, and under absolutely no circumstance should you accept a software update with your bootloader locked or you might end up bricked with a non stop bootloop.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 420SYN:
You need an unlocked bootloader to flash those. I read somewhere that you shouldn't relock unless on factory image because you can brick. Not sure if the same applies for unlocking on non official ROM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ANTHONY81L:
yes verizon. so turns out good thing i was on Pure Nexus when i locked it. Even tho my build was too late to use depixel all i had to do was tick oem in dev options and ran skipsofts toolkit. So im unlocked now but i cant get flashing a factory image to work for me at all. any other suggestions on how to get back to stock?

EDIT: nevermind skipsoft to the rescue. All is good thank you for helping
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] M9guy:
Good to know you didnt brick it. Yes never lock your bootloader on a verizon model unless you are 100% stock or you will get stuck in a bootloop. Just leave it unlocked because if you relock you may never be able to unlock the bootloader ever again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] coldconfession13:
Why do people lock bootloaders when running custom roms is beyond me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
So does that mean if it's a Non-Verizon model the bootloader can be locked with a custom Rom on it?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thehotboy:
No what I think they meant is the Verizon is always patching the methods to unlock the bootloader so once you get it unlocked you shouldn't lock it. You should never lock any bootloader if you are not on stock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Now that's what I know from previously having the Nexus 6P. His post wording made it seem like the Pixel changed that.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
Have to be on W. Just run the update and then install TWRP and flash the W vendor. The security patches will be fine.

Use TWRP for this specific device, nothing else.

Never ask for ETA's.... Ever

I would say that's up in the air. It's really up to TWRP team to bring us up to that version.

Encryption does not slow down your device to a noticable difference in speed compared to unencrypted, but that's my personal opinion. Once the device is up and running and unlocked (lockscreen), it's decrypted for use.

Not sure on that last one. I've always had issues with titanium so I abandoned it a few phones ago.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
For the currently released build you will need W for your vendor. Beans is working up the next update which will be C. He already has the vendor file up on AFH ready. You will probably have issues with TWRP Alpha2 you want to be on RC1.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
If you restore Snapchat from a back up already logged in you're fine.

Or simply log in before rooting.

As far as safety net, is there another mod besides making it not check for the bootloader? Because most kernels have that. You just have to remain unrooted for Android pay to work.
