[Pixel C Android Development] jaredtritsch:
just flashed it with dynamic Gapps, and on first boot its stuck on the "bouncing balls" animation for the last hour or so.

Is this normal? Should I let it keep going? The animation isn't frozen, but I'm unsure what it is (or Isn't) doing.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Something's wrong. Did you do a factory reset?
[Pixel C Android Development] jaredtritsch:
Wiped factory in TWRP

flashed Purenexus_dragon-7.1.1-20170121.zip

Flashed Full_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20170121.zip

rebooted by holding down power (not using TWRP reboot function to avoid bootloop)

did I miss something?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Well you're in a bootloop. Try again and use the boot System key inside TWRP. Worked fine for me.
[Pixel C Android Development] jaredtritsch:
went back into TWRP, it asked for password (didn't set one) wiped data entirely.

adb pushed requisite files

Flashed PureNexus w/ gapps in added zips

reboot system button.

Got to "lets go" prompt, but went back into TWRP instead.

Flashed Vendor image

reboot system button

devise setup as normal.

Looks good.

Thanks!

Should I stick with stock kernel with this, or are there better ones compatible with this ROM?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Thank you.
[Pixel C Android Development] zezayer:
Thanks Beans! Just installed this, so now running pure nexus on both the pixel c and 6p. Runs well with xceeds kernel. What would it take to persuade you to buy a pixel c?
[Pixel C Android Development] BeansTown106:
i dont think so yet, as its only a "phone" app technically im sure once they add the android tv support it will work in landscape

thanks looking into this

thanks for the info i will take a look

seems some versions of the google app break assistant on non pixel devices i would suggest trying the latest beta
[Pixel C Android Development] BeansTown106:
a discount LOL, i just dont have the extra cash right now to spend 500$ on it :( hopefully i can find a good deal on swappa one of these days
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
Yeah, not a casual purchase​ by any means. I put cash aside for months before I took the plunge. I wasn't even sure I would decide on the Nexus C, but now I am very glad I did. Quite a powerful amazing device. Made my N9 feel like a toy.

Dev support was one of my concerns, but this ROM fixed that, thanks! Haha no pressure, lol.
[Pixel C Android Development] jake.owen:
A few little problems I have found after using this rom for a week or so:

The navigation bar graphics are broken:

- when selecting pixel animation, the icons remain hollow rather than filling in, this leaves a strange yellow circle within the home button

- You have to manually increase the size of the home button when first installed so that it is visible

The carrier text is set to display on the lock screen. Easily disabled

The mute bug from stock is still present. I suspect it is a bug in google now app rather than android and google keep saying they will fix it.

Other than these very minor points a very smooth rom. Thanks so much for all the work Beans!
[Pixel C Android Development] zezayer:
Has anyone else found Google assistant and Google now is not responding to "OK Google"? Has anyone found a fix?
[Pixel C Android Development] TheNamesJohn:
"OK Google" works here even with the screen off. Make sure you have the right GApps - Dynamic.

Things I've found wrong with the latest build:

1. Somehow it still lost audio, only restart would fix it.

2. Brightness slider stopped working with the Adaptive brightness enabled.
[Pixel C Android Development] pkelly517:
Open up the Google app. Press the microphone. Let it time out.

Audio!
[Pixel C Android Development] YevOmega:
Edit: I read the previous pages a bit. I have TWRP 3.something something -21. The interface is super laggy but it seems to work. Should I update to a newer one? TIA!

Hey [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] or anyone else, I've been really out of all the android loops for the past 6 months. Just to be safe, do you have install instructions for the Pixel C? I'm on NPD90G (last DP for N), SuperSU 2.79, and I am rooted. Not sure whether I have custom recov working, cause last I was around, I would get bootloops after flashing [MENTION=5480152]followmsi[/MENTION]'s version of TWRP. Thanks!
[Pixel C Android Development] kbluhm:
As far as I can tell, TWRP is known to currently be laggy, yet fully functional. I've read that the resolution may be a factor and it has yet to be sorted out.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello,

I´m running your ROM without any problems but I detect that I don´t have a camera app, any sugestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Did you flash the latest vendor image when you flashed the ROM?
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Yes I flash it, provided in first post. :S
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
At this point, I'd suggest two options.

1) Download a camera from the Play Store

2) Reflash the ROM....

FWIW, the camera is there on my installation.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
I´m thinking about download vendor and rom and flash both again, maybe I have a bad download. What do you think?

Thanks again mate.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
I had the same issue a year ago on my Nexus 9. That did resolve it for me.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Going for it and post results as soon as I finish.

Now in order to solve this mini-problem I should flash first vendor, rom or doesn´t matter?

Thanks again.
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
I don't know that it really matters, but I always flash the ROM first..
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
OK!!,

As I post here https://xdaforums.com/pixel-c/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3537538/post70604052#post70604052 I flash first the rom, same as you.

Downloading now....

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Extrange issue, I reflash rom + vendor, still no camera app. I install open camera meanwhile.....

This is the only issue that I detected, so extrange. This things always happen to me :S
[Pixel C Android Development] freemini:
Hey Beans, would it be possible to add an option to force status bar and nav bar on screen (mainly for YouTube)? Basically the reverse of extended desktop.
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
The camera is in the GAPPS package.

Edit: Also, you only need to flash the vendor image once. It resides in a partition that doesn't get wiped.
[Pixel C Android Development] Istvan_86:
Ok, I install mini dynamic package I´m downloading FULL package now and I reinstall it.

EDIT.: Ok camera it´s inside FULL package, thanks all.

:D
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Good catch.
[Pixel C Android Development] pixel-c:
help me，think you！

Hello, I began to try to install it by using the TWRP 3.0.2.3 Pixel-C Pure Nexus Substratum * * ROM, but after the restart has been opened in the Google on the screen, no response. I have tried to use the NRT to restore the official factory image, start is normal transmission, but after the restart the device or the same situation, I have also done to unlock the device, wipe and format date, and can enter the TWRP recovery. But it is still stuck in the Google screen, why can not repair it, please help me. In addition to using NRT, I've been using the USB-OTG U disk to do the flash operation Please give me some advice, thank you.
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
I would suggest flashing the stock files using fastboot. When you boot up into android make sure that, oem unlocking is enabled in the developer options. If you do not understand my suggested procedure, you will need to read a lot. Good luck.
[Pixel C Android Development] r_nation:
Hello, Is there anyway to theme this rom? Substratum isn't working and layers isn't compatible w/nougat. How do you disable carrier on lockscreen/
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
Substratum works fine here.

On this ROM, carrier label is where you would expect it: Pure Nexus Settings > Status Bar > Carrier Label > choose "disable"
[Pixel C Android Development] r_nation:
I dont know how i missed the carrier my fault. Substratum keeps crashing when i tap on theme, its really frustrating. I have nethunter installed maybe this is why, im out of ideas.
[Pixel C Android Development] r_nation:
Ok looks like i had 20170113 installed so i flashed 0121 and its not crashing. I also flashed february vendor and i got a vendor dosent match system message. Should i revert to January?
[Pixel C Android Development] cam30era:
Yes.

ROM not updated to February security patch, yet.
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
However everyone finding the battery life? Love the ROM but battery seems to be less than stock
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
I know, right? It seems on other roms on other devices, Carrier labe is always buried somewhere. On this rom I had to hunt around (which is fun for me), and then when I found it, it finally was in a sensible place. Go figure. :)

Try a clean install and then try Substratum. I needed a clean install between the last two versions of this rom to get things right. Good luck.
[Pixel C Android Development] EddieK23:
Loving this ROM so far, I have it on my Nexus 6 and was ecstatic when I saw it released for the Pixel C. Just a few issues/questions:

1. On my Nexus 6, there is a lock screen option to automatically "enter" if the right pin combo has been input, but it doesn't appear to be in the Pixel C ROM. Any plans to feature it in an update?

2. Strangely, the "Home" button on the navbar is invisible in landscape mode (it still works just fine), but it's perfectly visible in portrait mode. Anyone else getting this bug?

I came from stock 7.0 with TWRP 3.0.21, where I wiped TWRP and flashed the newest 3.0.3-1, then installed the ROM by wiping the device, flashing the newest stock images from Google's repos, then followed the instructions on doing a clean install (while also installing the vendor image as per the "clean installation" guide) and installing Gapps and SuperSU. Everything seems to be fine aside from those two things so far.
[Pixel C Android Development] r_nation:
Well the thing is i did do a clean install and was able to apply a theme but now when i tap on anything in substrates menu it crashes, but hey at least the rom is themed lol.
[Pixel C Android Development] markshep:
After not upgrading the software on my Pixel C since last summer I thought it was about time I moved to 7.1, so I looked on XDA and found this ROM, which sounds great. Unfortunately I can't get it to work - it just sits on the "Google" boot screen forever :(. These are the steps I took:

1. Installed "TWRP_dragon_3.0.3-2.img" to the recovery partition and booted into it

2. Did a backup

3. Wiped system, data, cache, and dalvik cache in Wipe > Advanced Wipe

4. Installed "N4F26I_vendor.img" to the vendor partition

5. Installed "purenexus_dragon-7.1.1-20170121-OFFICIAL.zip"

6. Installed "Mini_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20170121.zip"

7. Rebooted

After reading through all the messages in this thread it seems that I've done a couple of things slightly differently to other people. The first is that I'm using a newer version of TWRP (3.0.3-2 rather than 3.0.2-23) and other is that I wiped the system partition before install, which other people didn't. I wiped system because the only instructions I could find for installing Pure Nexus were for the Pixel/Nexus phones and they said to do that.

Does anyone know if either of those things might break the install? Or can spot anything else I've done which would break the install?

I've tried varying the order of the installs and also adding "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip" into the mix, but I get the same hang every time upon boot.
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:
May need to update the Bootloader to current?
[Pixel C Android Development] markshep:
Yes, that fixed it!

(Specifically I flashed "bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.27.0.img" from "ryu-n4f26i-factory-2aa98ca1.zip" from https://developers.google.com/android/images#ryu)
[Pixel C Android Development] drewski_1:

You're the best BeansTown106! Installing your latest 02/15 release on my Nexus 6P right now. Trying my best to have the girlfriend let me install your custom ROM on her Pixel C rather than staying stock :)

Thank you for all you do.
[Pixel C Android Development] EvansJD:
I flashed the first release fine. Was nervous as I really messed up last time I tried to install a custom ROM.

Just couldnt live with stock any more.

Loving it!

I want to go to this release but am still nervous about messing up.

Could someone post the sequence of steps to go from a previous release to the latest?

Welcome. Actually, it's very easy to miss. Notice that it's on the Nexus 6P thread. One has to dig for it, a little.

Updated to latest build. Dead easy. Thanks!
[Pixel C Android Development] julz24:
Dirty flashed, had lots of wi-fi range & drop outs with previous version,also the sound issue when waking device from sleep was still present but they where easy workarounds. This is still a very quick and great firmware. Thanks

After a few days : still having some wi-fi drop outs, only issue so far.
[Pixel C Android Development] newsted44:

Jeeeezus...fast.:laugh:
[Pixel C Android Development] Rox598:
Is not being able to play movies from Google play movies a normal thing? the sound plays but there's no picture.
[Pixel C Android Development] 12paq:
I just checked, and google play movies play normal for me.
[Pixel C Android Development] Rox598:
Huh strange I can't get them to show picture at all not even through the Youtube app and yet normal youtube videos play fine.
[Pixel C Android Development] tkoreaper:
Try using a DNS changer app and see if that works. If it works maybe it has something to do with IPv6.

Does this work with instant tethering? There's nothing under settings>google
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
Hmmmm.... strangely enough Netflix just started doing the same. Oddly enough it didn't do it before. :confused:

Edit: Turns out it was night mode, disabled that and video came right back. Have you tried the same for Google Play Movies?
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah night mode does that to netflix
[Pixel C Android Development] kbluhm:
I had this with YouTube. Try a force stop and clear cache, possibly even clear data for a totally clean slate. No issues since.
[Pixel C Android Development] 338lm:
Yes, this was happening to me too. I fixed it by following jake's post:
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Not much action here wonder is that a sign that the latest PN is running good or that not many people own or care about the Pixel C ?

Need a new tablet was thinking about buying a Pixel good idea ?
[Pixel C Android Development] zezayer:
Its running well here. Other than a few easily fixed aesthetic problems its running great.

A Pixel is still the best tablet you can buy if you don't care about the cost.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
I'm trying to get google to honor the original 25% off developers code that i never used

My worry is that the Pixel is already getting a big old to the 2yr point where google cuts off its os update support ?
[Pixel C Android Development] Reuben_skelz92:
It's still the best tablet around. You will see more updates than any other android tablet still
[Pixel C Android Development] EddieK23:
Google's own products stay updated (Nexus devices for example), it's other companies that usually cut off support after 2 years. Seeing as the Nexus 5 was released in 2013 and support has been strong up u til this year, it's safe to say we can expect at least another year on the Pixel C.

Even then, Google devices' source code is freely available, so it won't stop someone from getting the newest version and modifying it to work on older devices.
[Pixel C Android Development] BeansTown106:
again guys sorry for my absence in the threads as of late i have had alot going on luckily things are starting to settle down so i should be around more and builds should be more frequent.

New build this build is a major cleanup of code, plus the addition of rootless substratum support, also to gaurantee the best stability the gapps package was baked into the rom flash like i have been doing on the pixels. more info in change log note.

Lets get to the goodies!!

Edit : Navbar in landscape is disappearing . Settings are in highest value but still no navbar.

Google Assistant: Landscape mode?

Anyway to get the Google Assistant button in Landscape mode?
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
I use the following app to force all apps to auto rotate, works fine with assistant, etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Thanks

Which option in the app will get me the Google Assistant button in Landscape mode I'm not finding it ?
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
Set up up under accessibility options, then in the app settings set it to force auto rotate. Google assistant and any other portrait only apps will then open in landscape as well as portrait depending on the orientation you have the tablet in.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
I'm still struggling trying to get this to work for me

Your saying if i understand you is go first to google settings and enable Ultimate Rotation Control under accessibility options

Then go into Ultimate Rotation Control settings and enable per app setting then choose Google assistant and set it to force auto rotate under per app settings ?

The problem I'm having is theres no Google assistant app inside per app settings that i can find to set it to force auto rotate its not in there am I missing something ?
[Pixel C Android Development] kbluhm:
I'm getting a package conflict when updating Google Contacts.
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
No, not per app. All apps. I'll sort some screenshots tomorrow to show what I mean.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
OK I'm patently waiting :)
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
Ok, here's screenshots of my settings plus a screenshot of google assistant in landscape, I should mention that the only thing that doesn't seem to work in landscape is the weather shortcut from the Pixel launcher, that will only work in portrait for some reason
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
I have all your same setting enabled exactly same as you under rotation setting screens but the first screen Ultimate Rotation Control on i can't find that screen where wtf is that it don't show up on my version and the google button is not moving for me

any ideas maybe i need the paid version for it to work ?
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
That's under accessibility options of the device settings, if you don't enable this it won't work. Go to the device settings, click the search icon, type accessibility, click on accessibility options from the search results and from there click on ultimate rotation control and enable it as shown.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Yeah i got that enabled under accessibility but i must be missing something else coz that google button will not move over in landscape mode for me :(
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
Are you by any chance referring to the home button?

If so, that's a different issue and there are multiple posts in the thread for it. You need to go to settings>pure Nexus settings>navbar customisation (I think that's what the option is called, out for the day without my Pixel C to check). From there select the home button and you should see a resize button, think it looks something like <>, drag the slider all the way and click save.

The advice I was giving was so that the assistant would open in landscape as I believe by default it's portrait​ only.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
This is the button I'm talking about assistant or home both ?
[Pixel C Android Development] st0nec01d:
That's the home button, long pressing it activates assistant however it is not termed as the assistant button. As prior note use pure Nexus setting to change the button size, multiple posts in the thread for people having this issue. Search is your friend.
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Thank you I will
[Pixel C Android Development] Markeee:
Thanks friend your above directions here worked perfectly :)
