See, you're reading too much into it. The poster asked if AP works. The OP did not list it as a feature of the ROM. It was perfectly reasonable that he was curious. Then I correctly stated that a kernel would need to be patched to work. If you go through this whole thread, you'd find that many have asked to use other kernels that were specifically described as "patched".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
I don't have substrstum installed and i still get the cpu pegging

I tried different kernels same results

Can you please elaborate?

The service in question causing the problem is Facebook's mqtt service

Which is a javascript service from what i can tell and no way to permanently disable it as Facebook just reenables it.

I apologise, I don't have those level of details. All I did was remove myself from the Facebook beta program. Uninstall Facebook. Wait 30 mins to make sure I was out of the Facebook beta program. Reinstall it. Without beta. Hope that helps
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
Are you on the pn kernel too?

Can you check with a cpu monitoring program after you open Facebook that the little cores scale down correctly?

I haven't signed up to the fb beta program
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sohilm:
I am on the default kernel that was on the ROM. Sorry not as familiar with it. But I am happy to install a program to check anything for you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lovemyram4x4:
I'm currently on DU ROM, Elemental kernal, while I'm using Substratum my theme doesn't even support Facebook or messenger(at least at the time I applied it).

That leads me to believe it's Facebook. I guess there could something in both ROMs and/or kernals that's causing it.

Odd thing for me is I haven't changed a thing on my Pixel in over 2 weeks and I don't recall updating Facebook recently either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:

Anyone else losing battery very quickly recently in the last several weeks? Google Play Services have been eating my battery life and I haven't got a clue as to why. Also I've been getting a lot of force closes on random apps.

I've been getting force close, general slow down, and battery seems to drain faster. Thought it was just me. I haven't made any changes in months so no idea why it's happening now. Oh and RAM dumps are happening more frequently again.

I'm currently on the 8.1 beta and plan to start over once the new PN comes out. Haven't used fastboot in a while to flash factory image.. am I going to have any issues since I'm on 8.1 beta or will it let me flash the 8.1 factory image. Not sure if I have to update fastboot or something. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
I'm almost positive that you'll have to have the 8.0 (Or whatever Beans releases) bootloader, radios, and everything compatible. It's always good to flash on top of stable, Google base anyway.

Glad to see people didn't abandon this amazing ROM!

Welcome back, Beans.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dohzboy:
Both. I am having issues with streaming video. Nowhere near my limit, never had the problem before. The apps have been more buggy lately. I wonder if it's just a time for an upgrade to the version of the Oreo?

I usually troubleshoot extensively before I complain, so no clue what the issue is without diving deeper.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
I'm asking if I would have to update fastboot in order to flash a factory image
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bradhoschar:
Just do a Google search for '15 second ADB installer', run it, and that will ensure all your Google drivers are up to date.

hold shift+right click in that folder, and run fastboot commands.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] clambert11:
Not here. Still getting awesome battery life (using ElementalX) and no force close issues. You could try wiping your dalvik cache and see if that helps.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] aholeinthewor1d:
Wonder why I'm on the beta but even when checking updates it says I'm up to date. Do you know if I need to do anything different to fastboot the 8.1 factory image? It's been a while.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wgrant:
If I'm not mistaken the beta has a later file date compared to the official release so it doesn't see it as viable to update to. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Gil Smash:
Pretty sure that's right. Apparently January will work for update or you can flash the image yourself.

A new version of this just isn't happening, the creator owes us nothing but the last commit was over 2 months ago. I'm running official now with a couple of tweaks and it works fine. If you're still on nougat I urge you not to wait it works fine without, the only thing I'm missing is the quick reboot screen

Wowow guys, relax.

The current version is still excellent. It's running flawlessly.

I'm pretty sure he will be back, even if it takes a while.

Not even franco has a kernel for 8.0 yet. At least for this device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hokiealumnus:
It really is a wonder devs like Beans continue to do this at all, with ungrateful brats posting like they are. Thankfully the worst of them from this morning seems to have been deleted.

This device, despite being a Google device, is hard to develop for. I have had successful ROM builds with no errors for marlin/sailfish since a couple weeks after Oreo came out. The problem is that they don't boot; straight up boot loop every time, despite proper builds. Figuring that out is something I am unfortunately not smart enough to do, and it is obvious the multiple smarter-than-I-am people are having trouble with it too, because we have zero custom Oreo ROMs for marlin.

What's ironic is that Beans did post an update, saying he's working on it, but apparently you guys are dismissing that because it's not out yet. :rolleyes:

Protip: many developers, including our own, make all changes locally and get all of the issues ironed out before pushing to git, so randos don't build ROMs that break stuff from their not-ready-for-prime-time source.

Bluetooth battery indicator/status

Hey guys,

I am looking at the PN setting and saw under "status bar" setting that there's an option to show bluetooth battery status on the phone of a connected device on the phone.

I have tired about 6 bluetooth speakers, 3 wireless bluetooth ear phones, and 1 bluetooth remote device. None of them seem to show the battery status.

Has anyone able to get it to work? I'm still on the 7.2.1 and this rom
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] funkyboy1281:
It works on mine. It's the line next to the bluetooth icon. This is with my bluetooth headset.

If you are wanting to go to Oreo just flash the latest factory img or desired img of choice backup your data first since it will wipe everything
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Iceman248:
As far I've been able to tell, it may be being worked on. I wouldn't hold your breath for it though, as no one made any promises. Personally, I'm leaning towards waiting for Xposed to be Oreo ready and then going stock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
I have no idea whether it's coming back. Oreo stock along with xPosed sounds pretty darn good to me.

All I really want is to disable the fingerlock vibration and the power button flashlight toggle. Is there any way to do this stuff on 8.1?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
do you happen to know, can xposed be loaded through TWRP recovery these days, or do still you have to use some sort of tool from booted up android, like the xpose installer, flashfire, etc.?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scottay5150:
I haven't installed xPosed in forever. I can't imagine it wouldn't be flashable
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
I messed with it a little when it first came out for nougat. But it couldn't be flashed through recovery on pixel. Apparently the pixel file system works differently from recovery than every other phone. I believe it uses /system/system as the address for /system. So that means you can't run the xposed repair script from recovery to quickly get out of sticky situations. I do keep frequent backups of course, but it's not as convenient.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
If you install the xposed app you can install xposed right from there and reboot. Not sure if the zip was updated for Pixel better to check the xposed changelog
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yusuo:
Works fine, got it on mine. Just flash through TWRP and alls good.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
i just tried the latest 89 for sdk25 arm 64. same error as when it came out. couldn't mount system writable (flashing zip from TWRP). But install isn't really the problem because i can install from the app. the problem is uninstall. The uninstall file hasn't been updated since August. 2016 and also gives the same error in TWRP (uninstalls fine from inside the app). Pixel is just very different.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
Can you take this conversation to the Magisk thread please?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mistermojorizin:
Hi, I'm assuming you're referring to my question about xposed. If so, I appreciate where you're coming from, and share your goal of reducing off-topic. Hower, I've never run Magisk and don't quite understand what it even is. I run SuperSu with Su hide and permissive selinux, on this rom. I get viper working, and android pay working, on this rom. Now we're discussing installing/uninstalling xposed on this rom (which does work through the app, but not through recovery). So it's not related to magistk in any way.

Besides, there seems to be not too much discussion in this thread anymore, so I figured I'd discuss something that would be related to getting something working with this rom, on this phone. Just as a break from wondering when 8.1 will come out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 911jason:
I'm a loser. Mixed up Magisk and Xposed. Sorry about that.

Anyone know how to get Elemental X and Magisk working on this? I had it working how I wanted before, but all the steps I took are buried under months of posts.

So I got tired of not having the awesomeness of Pure Nexus on my phone, so I came back on 7.1.2 using the Skipsoft Android Toolkit. Downgrading wasn't a problem, and I got everything on stock 7.1.2 working fine. Then I rooted and installed custom recovery. After that, I flashed Pure Nexus (along with the vendor image). Everything seems to be working, except file transfer. For some reason, Windows recognizes my Pixel being plugged in, but when I double click on it to go into storage, it just hangs. It does it' loading animation for a few minutes, then it just keeps at the loading thing. I tried booting into recovery and then mounting storage to try and transfer files that way, but same issue in WIndows. Wasn't having this problem when I was on stock 7.1.2. I reflashed stock, and I was able to get into storage again. Now back on Pure Nexus, and locked out of storage once more.

Anybody else experienced this issue? If yes, how did you solve it? Thanks.

My 6P was happily rocking PN 7.12 until the battery got to the point that I received a warranty replacement Pixel XL. Came with nougat, I jumped it to 8.0 then 8.1. Seriously thought of going back to PN 7 (July 2017 build) but the 8.1 (January 2018) is running very nicely. There is something to be said for consistent releases, but we all recognize that as the price we are willing to pay for excellent ROM's. Still, 6 months is a lifetime on development and good as it is, PN is still 6 months old. No rap at Beans, when he releases it will more than most likely find its way onto my XL.

That being said, there is a lot about PN that I miss.
