Dirty flashed from June build no problems good as gold
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
Are GApps still baked into this ROM or need to be flashed with clean install?
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
There included no need to flash any Gapps
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
Thank you for your work. I find this to be as stock as possible with all the crucial customizations I personally need.
[Pixel C Android Development] Smala777:
hi, what about games for tegra x1( trine,half life). ??????
[Pixel C Android Development] Mother_Teresa:
Installed this rom, seems solid. Thanks!

For other newbies: install vendor .img in recovery first (wipe also) and flash the .zip after.

I did not see a root option so I flashed latest supersu after (in recovery).

To get rid of the 'no service' in lockscreen; disable provider message (or so, unsure of how it is named) in settings.

Finally, I needed to flash 'AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip' file in recovery (I found earlier on xda for the same issue, pm if you fail finding it) to get the program 'AdAway' to be able to modify the hosts file.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Really thanks for your work, I updated to that version when my holidays ends and is as good as always :D

Cheers!!!!
[Pixel C Android Development] Avalun:
Is this Rom dead? I am asking because of the bluetooth exploit which got fixed in the security update from 5. September.
[Pixel C Android Development] liam_davenport:
Dev is currently working on Oreo
[Pixel C Android Development] Avalun:
okay thanks, as I am using the bluetooth keyboard, I hope no one will bomb my device in the meantime.

Can someone tell me how to flash back to stock 8.0?

Wanted to check it out while waiting for the updated Pure Nexus
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
Fastboot flash the Factory Image you can download from Google
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Is there a way to just flash stock in TWRP and not have go through process of sideloading it ?
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
If you find a flashable zip.

Fastboot flash of stock is pretty simple with the scripts provided with the image
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
I want to try and flash back to stock using FlashFire anything i need to know like

do I need to Flash a vendor image or gapps when flashing 8.0 stock ?
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
Vendor should be in the factory image.

GApps should not be needed for Stock ROM
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Is there such thing as a Recovery Flashable Stock OTA file that you can flash without Sideloading

I can't seem to get fastboot to work in the latest version of windows 10 64bit anniversary

I want to flash back to stock take advantage of 8.0 on my Pixel c

and be able to auto update again
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
For newest W10, you need to disable signature validation to install the fastboot drivers.

Not sure on the OTA. You've tried the ones Google has online?
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Yeah i disabled signature validation but the problem isn't that the problem is that the latest google drivers aren't compatible at all with the newest version of windows
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
That's a lot of negatives in the sentence so I'm not sure if I know what you mean :eek:

So you got the drivers working, but other issues with fastboot? Do you have the latest ADB / Fastboot from Google?
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
When you run command line fastboot devices it just sits there waiting for device it can never find the device

I'm running the latest fastboot and tried older versions also of fastboot and adb but the google android USB drivers for your device that need to be updated aren't compatible when you go into windows device manager and try and up date them choice from a list then choice update from disk then browse point it to the latest drivers the android_winusb.inf file windows says its not compatible even after you disabled signature validation

This is not the first time I'm running fastboot just the first time I'm running it on this new windows
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
oh, you didn't get the drivers installed.

sounds like you may not have really disabled the sig validation? it definitely was a pain to do (took a couple of iterations) and i can't remember the guide i used to do it.

:(
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
No followed the guide below link disabled the sig validation don't matter because either way the latest google android usb drivers are not compatible with latest reincarnation of W10 64bit

Can't believe I can't just flash back to stock super annoying wasted hours trying to get fastboot to load

Theres no other way other then sideloading to go back to stock rooted coming from Pure Nexus rom on my Pixel c ?

isn't there a such thing as a recovery flashable stock file ?

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/fastboot-wont-run-windows-10-t3433061
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
I'm on 64-bit W10 latest update.

I know you should be able to connect, because that's what I had to do to go from this Pure Nexus to 8.1 DP2 a few days ago. See screenshot of output from "fastboot devices"

I used the Option 2 method to disable sig validation in this "How to Geek" link (I see in post #4 of the thread you linked to). Option 1 didn't work for me.

https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
oops, looks like my screenshot uploads are failing . . .
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Yeah I used option 1 and windows booted into saying test mode bottom right but still would not take the updated usb android drivers

I not having luck here also posting image attachments on this forum I wanted to post a capture image of windows saying the file is not compatible with windows but for some reason this forum is not not letting me view posted attachments I can't see yours also can you ?
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
I can't see my own pictures.

did you try to flash the Google full OtA?

it looks like it just checks for Dragon & that your build date is older than the OTA date so you may not Be need to be Stock to flash it
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Google ota that you get here below yes no go need a twrp flashable file also tried FlashFire app thing don't work at all useless

I'm out of ideas any Other suggestion ?

https://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
that page is for the Factory Images, not the OTA files. click the "Full OTA Images" link on the left side of the page. to get the Zip files

also, as I said before, the drivers do work on the latest W10 64-bit builds. you're "non compatible" message is probably the driver signing thing and it didn't get disabled properly when you tried before. try the Option 2 in that prior link.
[Pixel C Android Development] j04nd03:
Purenexus officially dead?

Can we assume Pure Nexus to be officially dead by now?

Pure Nexus was a near perfect ROM for the Pixel C for me, therefore I've been patiently waiting for a new Oreo release, but BeansTown hasn't posted on the forums since January and his last login was in May as well, therefore I guess I'll have to start looking for an alternative.

I guess the ROM with the closest look'n'feel to Pure Nexus that's still actively developed would be the AOSP ROM, correct?
[Pixel C Android Development] darjwx:
It's dead for Oreo. Beanstown posted in Google plus. Iirc he said something like pure nexus may come back in P.

Edit: found the post

https://plus.google.com/+NathanBenis/posts/HFra7EftfFp
[Pixel C Android Development] j04nd03:
Ah ok, thanks. I didn't know that he was posting on Google Plus as well.
[Pixel C Android Development] Deltalfa:
Solve it.

also OK google voice is not working
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
From a home screen, hold the home button down until the Google search dialogue comes up. Then hit the 3 little button menu, and choose "settings". From settings, choose "voice". Then turn on and retrain the "OK Google" settings. After that it works for me.

Hope this helps.
[Pixel C Android Development] Deltalfa:
Nothing
[Pixel C Android Development] Avencore:
hey could you incorporate the nvidia bcmdhd driver instead of googles stock? This change should improve the WIFI. For sources you might take a look at Xceed kernel sources.

greetings Avencore
[Pixel C Android Development] bajasur:
Good call, I'm sure beans will look at that
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
On DU at the moment. Can't wait to try this when I get home:)

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Beans normally brings out every couple weeks or at least every security updates from my experience. Sometimes can be annoying flashing so many DU updates
[Pixel C Android Development] Paulskiii:
Felt compelled to check out Pixel C XDA for some odd reason. I assumed it was still a ghost town... Beans! Thanks for breathing some fresh life into this place! Do you have another way I can donate?

Downloading now, testing tomorrow!

I'd literally give you my Pixel C if it meant tapping into the power of the X1. My shield TV puts this tablet to shame. As the fella said above Nvidia drivers. If that's possible and something you plan to work on, she's all yours.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello,

I love to see more delelopment for my loved Pixel C, really thanks for all the effort. I´m downloading and try it this afternoon or maybe tomorrow, depends on the amount of work at office.....

I have a small question:

I´m currently using DU 6.0.1 FINAL RELEASE with TWRP 3.0.2-21, in order to install your ROM I must:

1-Backup

2-Factory Reset

3-Install ROM

4-Install GAPPS

5-Install SuperSU if desired

6-Reboot

Is this correct? I´m having doubts about what to do with img vendor.....

Thanks in advance.
[Pixel C Android Development] Eschatologius:
You need to flash the vendor image right after the ROM in TWRP via the inbuilt img-install-option.
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
Thanks for this great firmware. So far so good. Hopefully this tablet will be supported for a long time. My favorite is the navbar animation:)

Great work thanks again.
[Pixel C Android Development] bajasur:
Agreed, this ROM just took this tablet to the next level. I am fully themed and loving it
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello Eschatologius,

Ok I must flash vendor.img, so the correct steps are:

1-Backup

2-Factory Reset

3-Install ROM

4-Flash vendor.img

5-Install GAPPS

6-Install SuperSU if desired

7-Reboot

Also I´m using TWRP 3.0.2-21 I think that it´s the latest available por Pixel C. Am I right and can use it to install your Nougat ROM?

Thanks again!!!!
[Pixel C Android Development] Eschatologius:
yep, that should work :)

I used OpenGapps nano and Supersu 2.79 on this ROM and it works great.

If you install supersu the pixel will reboot twice, don't panic this is normal.

Have fun flashing :D
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Ok, I have a unexpected amount of work so I delay the installation of Pure Nexus ROM until next week but I have all the encesary files ready!!!

thanks for the fast and accurate answer.
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
Running awesome. Super smooth. Prefer it over DU for stock look nav bars. Plus pixel theme baked in. Awesome
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
First backup (always! I also copy backups off the device just in case) then upgrade TRWP to 3.0.2-23 and Vender to N4F261. The rest you probably should know before you come here. ;)

The whole thing should take 10-15 minutes of slightly daring fun. Enjoy!
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
Can't wait to try this when I get home, thanks for your work!

Do we really flash the Sailfish version linked in the first post under Downloads? That must be a mistake.

Is it possible to lock the bootloader back or must it stay unlocked for the ROM to be operable?
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello,

I´m a maniac of the backups xDD, jokes aside thanks for answer me and remember the fact that I must need to update TWRP to latest version aka 3.0.2-23 I´m on 3.0.2-21 but Eschatologius warns me via pm. :D

And yeah I know the rest hehehe.

Cheers!!!
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
THANK YOU!!

After 12months of owning the tablet I finally have a custom ROM installed.

Before I do something stupid.. Do I need to leave the bootloader unlocked and live with the 30sec boot delay or can I lock again with Fastboot ?
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
Thank you.

One other niggle I seem to have is no home button on the nav bar.

home works if I touch the screen in the centre but nothing visible.

Any clues?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Post #17, page 2
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
Found it, I needed to adjust the Home button width to full, then it appears

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Anybody have Google Play Services stopping continuously?
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
Nope. Is your Vender up to date? N4F261 I think this still is the newest.

Make sure you follow the link to the GAPPS from post #9. You need the newest 7.1.x. These work perfectly, basically because this ROM and the GAAPS are made by the same developer :P

If you use another package at your own risk, make sure it's for 7.1.1 ARM 64.
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
I did a reflash with OpenGapps and all is ok now.
[Pixel C Android Development] Rox598:
Hell yes I'll be 100% flashing this

Question though has Twrp gotten more stable? I remember trying to get CM to install on my Pixel C but no matter what it wouldn't boot into twrp and i'm not new to flashing and stuff.
[Pixel C Android Development] Rynosensation:
Gutted

I've spent the last 5 hours trying to unlock bootloader on my pixel c to no avail! I've done it before but windows just will not install the drivers! Has something changed??? Need this ROM!
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
No. Go here: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

The tool kit is worth it alone for just installing Windows drivers. Or in many cases, untangling Windows drivers.

The rest is easy unlock commands, just like other Nexus / Pixel devices of the past. Or just use the toolbox to also unlock and root. You can still learn the Fastboot and ADB commands by watching the scripts run in the dialogue box... but manually unlocking from command line is fun!

Good luck.
[Pixel C Android Development] brando56894:
The link in the OP brings me to downloads for the Pixel (Sailfish), not the Pixel C (Dragon). Here is the correct link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224412543
[Pixel C Android Development] ramrstf4:
Minor thing left unnoticed. I flashed it like 5 times without success and did not figure out what was wrong lol.
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
After a few days of use, here are the issues that i have; when waking from sleep, i have no sound, i need to reboot to get it back. Had the same issue with the DP firmware.

Other is the home button in landscape mode, it disappears... Tried the suggested fix, worked but after multiple reboots due to the sound, it doesn't appear anymore.
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
For the home button in landscape, I found that I needed to adjust the button to it's full width in the Navbar tuner.

Since doing that I've not had an issue.
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
Tried it, worked, but after a few reboots it disappears. Tried to reset the settings. No luck!

Edit :Tried it again rebooted and its back!!!
[Pixel C Android Development] BeansTown106:
oops i will fix this with the upcoming release

as long as someone i know has the tablet aka [MENTION=4854133]bajasur[/MENTION] or i get one i will keep supporting it :)

i will look into this, does just flashing his kernel solve any issues you noticed?

thanks :) ya either paypal or google wallet @ nbenis106@gmail.com, i appreciate it :) and ya i would definetly be willing to work on the nvidia drivers and see if i can make this thing even more zippy but woud definetly be alot easier with the device in hand to make sure it works well. if you serious shoot me a pm or a email :D

that was a mistake the actual link is in the 6th or 7th post

hmm possibility there is some proprietary code in the factory image i will have to investigate
[Pixel C Android Development] BeansTown106:

I dont suppose there's a way to get Google assistant working landscape is there?

Thanks for your support of the pixel beans :D
[Pixel C Android Development] DonsTechnology:
Hey Beans,

Latest update seems a little sluggish (that could just be me) but after several clean installs the home button (circle) is missing. I can still tap the area it should be in and get home, but the visual button is gone.

Edit: it's only apparently missing in landscape mode.
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
You have to edit it in Nav bar settings to make it reappear
[Pixel C Android Development] DonsTechnology:
Nope. Tried removing it and re-adding it. It's still not visible in landscape mode. The button isn't missing, it's just not visible.
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
You need to asjust the button width to max.
[Pixel C Android Development] kalnsocal:
Media Audio

Media audio no longer works on such apps as YouTube, Spotify, etc..... Is a custom kernel needed to restore audio capacity?
[Pixel C Android Development] Avencore:
[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]

Flashing Xceed Kernel used to increase the range where the wifi worked without issues by a fair amount. It also reduced/eliminated disconnects on some routers. Sadly he paused development some time before I got a replacement pixel and since then I am on stock 7.1.1.
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
The latest build, 7.1.1_r13, 01/21/17 runs great. No issues so far.

Thanks!
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
And saving the changes helps to...?

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Don't know if something was done for the sound issue. Did not have the issue yet, the device has been in deep sleep a few times since flashing this version.

As always, great work.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Marvelous, simply marvelous. Thank you very much.
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
Flashed the 01/21 build. Thought I'd lock the bootloader to avoid waiting 30 sec boot pause in the future. Booted the new build for the first time, went through all the first boot process and rebooted into fastboot from where I locked the bootloader. Which caused the device to enter the screen of - OS is damaged. Recovery is needed - or something of that kind. After that I unlocked the bootloader back and it booted up fine.

I've read earlier in this thread that we can lock it and the device will still operate- what is the correct way?

While testing the ROM I can't figure one thing out - how do we access G Assistant - holding home button brings up Now on Tap?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
[MENTION=3327994]TheNamesJohn[/MENTION],

Do you have the January vendor image installed?
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
Yes. Flashed ROM -> Vendor -> Dynamic Gapps -> Supersu.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Well, then I can only guess that the new(er) bootloader has a more stringent OS verification check. Let's see if someone else chimes in here.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Aahh, I see you're rooted. That may be why the OS verification is failing.
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
I think the issue you are describing, might be caused by TWRP still being your recovery. I don't think that we can lock the bootloader and still have a custom recovery installed?

As for the G assistant, just hold the home button, you need to set it up first, after it works great!! I have the Google home, both my pixel C and The Google home device work the same. Enjoy this great work!!!
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
If you are planning on using and running a custom ROM like Pure Nexus and a custom recovery like TWRP, there are two primary basic fundamental things that you need: an unlocked bootloader and root. The only time most of us ever relock the bootloader is to sell or send the device back for repair. The wait at boot is annoying, but worth it IMHO.

Good luck and have fun!
[Pixel C Android Development] Rynosensation:
Ok, so i've flashed this on my pixel c. I do not have a home button. Kinda stuck without that. Also, I cannot get swipe right for google now to work. Ive noticed this doesn't use pixel launcher, but launcher 3? Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance.

FIXED: Somehow I lost root. Rooted and installed pixel launcher. Made pixel launcher a system app and now have google now via swipe right. Still no home button, but i noticed if you press where it is normally positioned, it works and it appears but dissapears again when i flick from portrait to landscape.. Any ideas?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Home button - post #17, page 2.

Swipe right doesn't work for Google Now. Drop the "G" icon on your home page.

And launcher 3 is set up like Pixel launcher.
[Pixel C Android Development] freemini:
Never lock your bootloader unless you just flashed 100% stock. It's very possible to brick this way since you can't unlock it again if the toggle in dev options changes.
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
Thank you all for your answers - they made sense.

Just clean flashed this ROM and GApps and upon going to the Wallpaper by holding on homescreen Launcher3 keeps stopping. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Yes. Change wall paper via Settings.
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
You have to go into nav bar settings and set the width to the highest and click save. It will appear
