Slow your roll. Check Beans's post from July 26. We have every reason to believe he'll be releasing PN for Oreo. You look to have been around here long enough to know that ETAs, status update requests, etc. are not well received. If I were you I would at least admit that your post may have come off that way, move on, and patiently wait like the rest of us.

I've always wondered why one question that shouldn't be asked has to followed by at least a full page of posts from people complaining about that question.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Its not wasted if us correcting you teaches another user NOT to do this.

The fact that there was no update for August is because the main dev was sick last month so July went out late.

Common sense then tells you that google is releasing O at the end of the month, so why would you expect an august release that close to the July release and a new version of android. Never mind the fact that you nor anyone else is entitled to a time line, schedule, or anything else.

Love it!!

Been playing around the new Pixel with this rom and everything seems so flawless.

I was wondering if anyone know how to modify this...or if it's even modifiable.

Back on the Galaxy, under the lock screen or the notification pull down panel, the options to reply to a text or respond or delete an email was on the right side. However, I noticed that it is on the left in this phone. Is there a way to modify this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
Hello! if anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

I rooted and installed TWRP back in March. Then installed SU.

Now i was looking to try and get Pure Nexus to work on my Pixel XL however im getting this error once i boot in:

"Vendor image does not match the system, please flash NOF26W vendor image for you device." Which i have tried doing with no success.

Could someone briefly explain what vendor image i should flash, and in what order.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

My best guess is that im missing step 1:

"1. make sure you are on the latest bootloader, radio, vendor image"

im not sure what one of these above i should flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xxfwmxx:
Did you flash it to the right slot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
if you flashed it before you flashed the rom or you flashed it after the ROM without at least one reboot its in the wrong slot. just flash it again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
Okay so i shoud:

1. Flash pure nexus

2. reboot (and run through set up)

3. Flash NOF26W.img

Do i flash this to BOOT , SYSTEM, or VENDOR
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Grubling:
Flash the vendor image to VENDOR.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
thanks, i know it seemed stupid but i thought i would confirm.

So i flashed to vendor. it said it was successful but when i load into Pure nexus

APPS are crashing and everything is going haywire, also no sim card is detected.

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
You you just go back and flash the vendor? Or did you dirty flash the rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
sorry can you elaborate. im not sure what Dirty flashing is? I flashed a few different roms so i feel like my device is a bit of a hodge podge right noww

edit:

also right now my vendor version is NOF26W

Pure nexus 7.1.1-20170215

build: NOF26W

Is it weird it says its in android 7.1.1
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What is the files name of the zip file you are installing?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
okay so i realized i was flashing an older file. so i did the following:

1. I advanced wiped : Dalvic/art & system

2. Flashed purenexus_marlin-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL

so i think im on the right track now

but... then i went to reboot and it says i have NO OS INSTALLED.

RIP. did wiping system screw me?

PS. thanks everyone for helping!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
It says no OS because you wiped system and the slot based file system of the pixel flashes roms to the INACTIVE slot then swaps on the next reboot. Unfortunately twrp is only reading back to you what's in the ACTIVE slot.

With that bit of logic you may ask well is the system partition in the INACTIVE slot wiped? No twrp also only wipes the active slot. When the rom installs though it wipes the slot before installing so basically unless you swap slots, reboot, wipe system, swap slots, reboot, then flash room. You aren't really wiping where the rom goes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Supdom:
okay... so if you wouldnt mind... could you have me a step by step on how i should get this OS going again? =/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mikaole:
Boot to twrp

Wipe factory reset

Advanced wipe system and dalvik

In twrp reboot menu

Reboot to the not active slot

The active is shown above if it says A reboot to B

Hold the vol- button when rebooting, so you are right back to bootloader

In bootloader you see that you are now on the other slot

Back to twrp from bootloader

Vol- till you see recovery

In TWRP flash rom and twrp

Reboot while hold2vol-

Back in bootloader you see that you are now back to the other slot

Back to twrp from bootloader

In twrp flash image

Choose the right vendor and flash as vendor

Flash gapps

Reboot and enjoy

Once you are in android system feel free to go back to twrp and flash su
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Boot into recovery

Factory reset

Flash rom

Flash twrp

Reboot to recovery (slots swap automatically)

Flash vendor

Boot into system

Works every time for me.

If you are going to flash su or magisk or a different gapps than what is included, then flash those the same time as the vendor.

If you flash magisk you need to flash twrp after or you will have to fastboot boot it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wpbear:
Where in these steps to flash a custom kernal?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Same time as vendor.

That may sounds misleading. Basically you just need a reboot if you are flashing it after flashing a rom. The only thing you flash at the same time as the rom is twrp. Then you need a reboot to flash everything else.

I'd also recommend you actually boot into the system then back into recovery before flashing su but it's not required for magisk

Sorry, I don't understand what you did to get exchange working. Tried Gmail and Outlook and can't get it to sync.

Thanks a lot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarkAnthony121:
If i'm not looking for customization much at all, but more so slightly better performance/battery life, is this the ROM for me? For example how is this compared to something like Resurrection Remix? For real life use is there any battery difference or performance difference here vs running plain stock?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jammol:
This is going to sound like a stupid question. Did your company authorize exchange active sync to be allowed on your account?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] just_visiting:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Veid71:
So I am trying to have one boot slot unrooted while the other is rooted but whenever I flash the ROM the other slot won't boot it just tries to reboot a few times then boots into twrp so only 1 slot works even if I flash it on both any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kel Ghu:
You don't need to go to TWRP in order to switch slots for flashing vendor in both slots. Just:

Fastboot flash vendor_a filename

and

Fastboot flash vendor_b filename

Same for radio, bootloader, etc...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tgabaree:
You may want to use an email program such as Aqua Mail Pro that supports EWS (Exchange Web Services). I have to rely on an EWS client because my company locks down Activesync to certain types of devices.

I'm trying to use Tasker to run a task after receiving a text, but my Tasker profile never fires (set to Any Type with Sender and Content fields empty). I can use the %SMSRB variable to manually run a task after the text comes through, though. Is there something to do with Pure Nexus that interferes with this process?

EDIT: As a workaround, I'm currently just intercepting the text notification with Auto Notification and then running a task from there. Would be nice to do without the plugin if anyone knows of a solution though.

Android Auto and USB Fixed - thanks, Flash!

I want to thank the Flash for his awesome work fixing this issue. :good:

I had the same problems as many others with Android Auto and USB file transfer via MTP and PTP. I flashed the fix, and then while checking my Android Auto and File Transfer capabilities I noticed I lost root. I am running Pure Nexus on my Pixel XL following the flashing instructions in post 4524 with the exception that I used all July images. Once I noticed root was gone, I rebooted into recovery and re-flashed SuperSU using TWRP. All good now, Android Auto doing it's thing and I am one happy file transferring person! :cool:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wpbear:
Is this the correct order for a dirty flash:

1. Reboot to recovery; Flash PN update, re-install twrp rc2.zip; reboot recovery,

2. Flash Vendor, flash ElementalX kernel, flash Magisk lastest, flash twrp rc1.zip; reboot system

3. Install Magisk Manager apk; wipe app data; enable magisk su hide for playstore and package installer

4. reboot to recovery; make twrp backup
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Unless you are already flashing something along side the rom, which would usually require you to reboot anyways then it's just simple. Especially when it means you don't need a computer and there is really no need to flash both slots because most users are only going to use one under normal operation and also when the next security updates comes around you have to flash all over again in the opposite slot

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

I think you need to advanced wipe the cache after flashing the rom.

I just made a TWRP backup after setting this all up on a clean install (PN, Elemental X, Magisk). I noticed TWRP said I was in Slot B; isn't that a little strange that my primary system is on "B"? Did I do something wrong?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
There is no primary. There is only inactive and active and the slots swap with each rom flash.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545584073

Just extract the customize build prop file, edit it to choose what mods you want and save to the root of the sdcard then boot into recovery and flash. The zip. It will read the prop and install whatever you chose before.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709/page1

I always turn off "Automatic system updates" in the developer options when I flash a new ROM to avoid that.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Rhetoric is basically being good at persuasive speech. So I think you meant rhetorical but that would only apply if you actually asked a question to begin with so now I am thinking you meant to say sarcasm.

Either way it's hard to tell because some users still don't get that it's not cool to ask, so you can't blame someone for assuming you don't know better.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kel Ghu:
That's the definition you pulled straight off Google. But it's an incomplete definition. Rhetoric is about effectively using speech, not necessarily to be persuasive, but to convey an idea eloquently (here by striking people). It is done through the use of figures of speech. Here it was rhetorical because it was asking the question without actually asking it by staying my intent to do it while also mentioning I shouldn't do it. It's a kind of apophasis. And I ended it with a common figure of speech: an exaggeration (about the consequences). Which was part of my apophasis. Obviously, it is only effective on people that don't take things at face value (because they just didn't understand). As it was an abstracted way to "crack the forbidden question". But it's more effective on people who do understand it than simply asking the actual question. The end-goal here was to get people impatient and excited. So yes, it was as rhetorical as it could possibly get.

It was in no way sarcasm, because I wasn't mocking anyone or anything.

And there's no way people didn't know that I knew it was not cool to ask. I wouldn't write "forbidden question" nor would I tell people to prepare their weapons. So the guy who answered just voluntarily provided a platitude, which was an aesthetically poor answer to a rhetorical question disguised in an apophasis. That's why I pointed it out. :P

Well, I decided that any custom Oreo is going to need to start with a factory image flash (yes with -w) so I did it. Unfortunately I was really unhappy with stock on so many levels but decided to try rooting with this post ( https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-systemlessly-root-pixel-xl-t3660324 ) and now I am relatively happy. I have Substratum again and Android Pay and my sanity back.

I am moving from the 6P and I've been doing some reading on the Pixel root methods, and I see things are very different because of the slot a/b and the modified magisk method.
