I have drops and pops occasionally just since 1/21 ...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grinchyyy:
My wife and I have Pixel XL's, she's stock with Ex Kernel and I'm on PN with Ex kernel. Ex Kernel is practically identical to stock rom. While we haven't had any issues with Bluetooth devices, we have had our Bluetooth turn off randomly and for no reason sometimes numerous times a day. This has been happening for about a week and a half.

Not sure what is going on.

Anyone having issues with there GPS?

Mine won't stay tracked on me. Tried resetting agps with no luck. Anyone know any other tricks?

Also I am not asking for an eta but I am wondering if this will be updated with thr February security updates at some point?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
Ive had no issues with gps. Which app?

Yes beans is very consistent with security updates. Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't already in the works. ;)

So i just flashed this ROM for the first time and have found gmail missing and the torch is not working. I'm thinking its corrupted and I may need to re-flash as I've seen no other reports of these issues. thoughts?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sacthegreat:
Install gmail from playstore.. And clear cache in recovery - torch will work.. Unless your install was corrupted..

anybody having problems with the camera app crashing? i'm running the radio/modem from the 7.12 beta, and franco kernel r8.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I had this issue and its kernel related, all what i flashed was the U rom instead of V rom (vendor img) and the camera kept crashing, until i flashed the vendor img V provided with the rom. So my assumption, the kernel..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rickysidhu_:
Wondering if anyone can give me insight on this:

I charged my phone up to 100% last night and then went to bed. When I woke up 8 hours later, I noticed my battery had drained 14%! I have attached some screenshots from BetterBatteryStats, and let me know if anyone needs more info. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 14% is an abnormal amount of battery loss when the device is not in use.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trevorcobb:
thanks for your reply. if I understand you correctly, you are saying to flash the "v" vendor.img that is included in the download links of the first post of this thread, and that will flash the correct kernel to be able to use the camera (and everything else possibly necessary)?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
The vendor doesn't touch the kernel as far as I know (which has been known to not be far at times). As in I am on Franco kernel and if I flash the vendor I will still be on Franco.

If you haven't flashed the vendor though you may want to go ahead and do that
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Yes exactly, i never flashed a kernel, so my only guess will be the vendor, at least worked with me.. Good luck..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jimyugbob:
sooo what should i do if my phone is stuck on the loading screen with the stupid bouncing balls?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
I have a question on step 1 make sure you are on the latest bootloader, radio, vendor image.

How do I do that? I've had my Pixel since December, rooted it then and haven't changed anything. Have Verizon.

I already have TWRP. Do I flash the vendor, bootloader, radio, then Pure ROM via TWRP? Does it matter which order I do them in?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrbxx7:
Vendor can be flashed in twrp, via the image button. Radio and bootloader must be flashed via fastboot. Although i havent flashed them yet and don't have any problems. Flash the rom then reboot recovery and flash vendor.

?Tapped from my pure pixelXl?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jigglynuts:
I also have not updated the radio or bootloader for fear of screwing something up. Its the only thing not 100% outlined and I would rather be safe than sorry. I am not sure what the benefits or negatives are but have not had any problems.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
My question is, its requested to flash the latest vendor img, however the one attached to the rom in the main download thread is not the latest, since the latest now is with February patch.. Do i flash the new one? am already on the one provided by PN link amd i don't want to miss things up, specially that the camera might have an issue (experienced it when i was doing the process to start with, and had to go to the vendor img provided by PN).. Or shall i wait, will the new update of the rom have the February security, and will it then be compatabile with the new vendor img..??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
It was the latest at the time. The vendor image linked in the OP is the one needed for the ROM. And as it stands now, there are multiple releases from Google that end with V so this is just going to get more convoluted for some people.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Yes thats my point exactly.. I think it should say use the provided vendor img only, not the latest, as Google is always ahead of PN in updating.. I saw lots of ppl complaining here about an issue here or there.. And most of the problems can be simply sorted by flashing the provided vendor img exclusively..

Maybe a suggestion to be added to the main thread guidelines.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

To help you, what i personally did, is a full flash from the main google Android site, but i flashed the January patch as its the only supported now by PN (full flash, they have a guide on how to do it, and a script that runs automatically), make sure its the V. This way am sure am updated from all aspects, then from twrp flashed the provided vendor img (just to be sure, though i think the full flash included it).. And then as usual re twrp, boot, then su if wanted.

I found out that this way was the best way to have a fully operating pixel with no lags or any problems (like the camera and other complaints around here) and battery is pretty good (don't need any alternative kernel)..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Bojesse:
Hi guys

Can someone tell me where I can adjust the dark/light surface in the Pure Rom?

And where can I select and add the tiles (Notification drawer)? I didn't find it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] D0CTOR:
I don't understand your question about dark/light surface, Do you mean screen brightness?

To select and add tiles, pull down the notification drawer and press on the pencil icon. From there you can move tiles around. To change the rows and columns, go to settings/PureNexus Settings/Notification drawer.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joeyac02:
Hmm haven't noticed any audio issues at all anywhere in the ROM. Did you clean flash when you installed?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] baretoes:
Yeah, complete clean install. Did not come from any other ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

What is the current state of your phone?

Bootloader unlocked? Rooted? TWRP installed?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
Bootloader unlocked. Rooted. TWRP installed. Did this back in December, runnning the December updates and 7.1. (or maybe 7.0) Hotspot is important to me and I heard 7.1.1 broke the Network Refresher app method so I didn't update Android.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Well this is going to more or less update you to the point where that app may not work unless there is some built in tethering mods.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
Yes, doesn't the features list say it has Tethering Subscription bypass?

Disabled tether provision checks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] milan187:
It should.

Just flash ROM in TWRP, then flash TWRP again right away while still in TWRP.

Reboot to recovery then install > image and choose the vendor file.

Reboot to system

Done

Reboot once more to to recovery and flash SuperSU 2.79 SR1+ if you want root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
I have pure nexus installed, it is giving me an error that my vendor image does not match. How do I install vendor image? when I selected install> Image in TWRP it asked me 3 different locations to install. I assume it would be in the Vendor slot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jigglynuts:
that is correct and completely normal. if you were not on the right image after you flash the rom you will get an error on boot. reboot to recovery, flash image to vendor slot and you are good to go.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
How do I install Super SU? I've downloaded 2.79, installed it via TWRP, but when it won't show root on the phone. I try downloading SU app from Google Play and it says I don't have the binaries installed. Root check also says I don't have root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
What is the full version of your 2.79?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cowsquad:
When you are in recovery, click on file manager and delete fstab.marlin. then flash SuperUser.

anyone here have forced encryption off??

i googled and found this

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/disable-verity-force-encryption-pixel-xl-decrypt/

guess have to wipe device then flash something called Magisk.zip. this was posted back in October so wanted to ask if this works as of now?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] putridfoetus:
Magisk isn't even compatible with the pixels yet, so don't do that. I don't know where they got their info...

Probably a custom kernel out there that has those patches, and if not, likely will be soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chrisnk204:
So let me get this straight

Do i do a clean wipe, flash the rom, then fastboot flash TWRP, then finish the process?

Im supposed to be connected to a computer in order to flash roms on the pixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tatootie67:
You don't need to fastboot anything. You can flash TWRP zip after ROM flash

Thanks

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Novakingwai:
In this ROM is there a way to unlock the phone with the Finger print senseor without needing to keep the phone locked via password? I like the simplicity of using the touch sensor sometimes, but I hate having a pin code. I want to be able to keep it unlocked!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Ditto! Now just need official TWRP so we can use the TBO Gapps too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sassmk2:
Did you restore a nandroid at all? If so, dirty flash the ROM and that fixed it for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizumie:
I get great battery. I have never really tested, or tried to stretch it out. But I get through most days (up at 4am- lay down and plug in around 10pm) with atleast 40%. Some days 60 or 70%. I wouldn't say I'm a power user, but all day traveling around and working I use my phone constantly for work and audio, GPS, etc.

The one time I had less than stellar battery I Dirty flashed, and installed Vendor img. And everything resolved.

If you haven't I'd try vendor or dirty flash or both.

Don't give up on the rom just yet. I have flashed them all(mostly) and this is by far the superior of them. Well over stock also.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acheney1990:
I've been out of the flashing game for a while but now as I'm growing a little bored of stock Pixel XL I'm thinking of going with this ROM. But I also need some stability, for those using this how stable is it? Any bugs? Thanks.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
[MENTION=4049833]Juzman[/MENTION] Can you please elaborate on why we need the official TWRP to use TBO Gapps? Does the TWRP RC we are using for the Pixel XL prevent use from installing them? Thank you!

I am having problems theming all my gapps and looking for alternatives, but thought Dynamic was the only version fully works with our Pixel XL's...

Also, My BT is wonky with every ROM I have tried. It looks like an issue that many are having. So, I would not blame a particular ROM for the issue. PN is the most stable rom I have tried. Octo has had good reviews, but I have not tried.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sgtguthrie:
Huh... I've had no problems with GPS on stock firmware, and I use it a lot. I keep my GPS in high accuracy mode too though.

I will also be unlocking, rooting, and flashing with the next release. I've been waiting for everything to stabilize with the new partitioning scheme, and it seems to have now. I'm anxious for a beans rom, as I last had a phone version on my Note 2. I still run it on the Nexus 7's.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DA6030:
I assume you're familiar with Google's new slot-based partition structure, in which there are two reasons we are waiting for official TWRP to use GApps. As it's been explained to me:

1. Some have reported that the Marlin TWRP RC1 does not always flash a zip (e.g., GApps) to the correct slot, thus ROM installations that have multiple steps (e.g., first install ROM, then install GApps on top) are strongly discouraged.

2. Because of issue #1, Beans is currently bundling GApps with the marlin build of PureNexus, and thus has warned against installing another GApps on top (even though most installers try to intelligently uninstall, you're still asking for disaster).

To elaborate on #1, personally, I have never experienced unexpected behavior from the latest TWRP RC1, nor have I looked at the source code, so the following is speculation.

That said, I get the impression that, when installing a .zip, TWRP tries to make some intelligent determination of whether the .zip represents:

a "ROM", in which case it installs to the inactive slot, then toggles slots (mimicking Google's intended use for the slot-based partition structure, and retaining compatibility with Google OTAs)

OR

a "mod" (e.g., SU) in which case it installs to the active slot and does not toggle slots (mimicking expected user behavior, and retaining compatibility between most "mods" and most custom ROMs)

As you can imagine, if TWRP ever gets this wrong, it would lead to serious user confusion and lost data, which is issue #1. It's unclear to me what the long-term path forward is, but that's a discussion best had in the Marlin TWRP thread.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Are you saying that even following the direction of ROMs without bundled GAPPS there is a decent chance it will not perform as prescribed when following the directions? To be fair my experience has been on 3 other builds (flashing after the first boot)
