The process is different than on a Nexus Phone because you use a fastboot version of TWRP to install the zip version of TWRP on your actual device. What you need to do when there are updates would be different depending on whether you decide to run stock or a custom ROM but you generally don't have to start from square one whenever there is an update unless you run into problems. If you do frequently the best thing is to flash-all.bat the full stock image separately to partitions a & b so the phone gets a clean start and then flash whatever you want after the phone is functioning properly again.

It is more difficult to root and flash on the Pixel XL but it's also virtually impossible to hard brick the phone. But there are also fewer benefits to rooting and running a custom ROM than on a Nexus. Even if you flash a custom kernel or ROM the devs still use the same kernel governor as on stock. Custom ROMs for the Pixel XL will offer features not available on stock but you will always be sacrificing performance in exchange because the devs don't have any idea how to improve performance over stock. A perfect example of that is the fact that everyone uses the same kernel governor that you find on Google's stock kernel.

I tried numerous custom ROMs. None performed as smoothly as stock and all but one had bugs of some sort that you would notice pretty quickly. If you are one of those people who like Pure Nexus (I'm not) then it is available for the Pixel XL.

It's very unlikely that it will ever be as easy to flash on a Pixel as it was on the Nexus devices. I read that the dual partition system used on the Pixel is going to be a part of Android O. If that's true then other phone owners are going to find themselves in the same boat as Pixel owners when it comes to flashing.

One other thing--if you want to use Magisk the official version does not work on this phone. You need to use a modded version that's available elsewhere in these threads.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GroovinChip:
So let's say I root with Magisk on stock Android 7.1.2. Then Android O drops and I want to update. Would I be correct in thinking that the update would wipe out TWRP and root and I'd have to do those processes again? Same for when security updates drop? But all my apps and data would remain?

Regarding kernels and performance of ROMs: so kernels like Franco use the same governor? How is using it different than just leaving the stock kernel, then? And I'm confused about performance of ROMs - when I flashed Pure Nexus on my N6, N5, and Moto G they all performed way better than stock. Is it just the Pixel that performs less well?

Do you remember where you read that the dual-partition system will go to other phones for O? Will this partition system become a part of custom ROMs like Pure Nexus(which I do like a lot)? Like, let's say I returned to using a Nexus 6 instead, and then Pure Nexus gets updated to O. I'd then have to deal with the same thing I deal with on the Pixel?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Each month I flash stock after removing the -w from the flashall bat file. That saves data, apps and stettings. Takes 10 minutes. Another 5 to redo root.

Correct, the custom kernels are not as awesome on the Pixel as the are in other devices. Not because they are bad but because the Pixel is just that good stock. I still run Franco's because HBM is important to me, and he does get a bit more battery life than stock.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GroovinChip:
Very interesting. Do you mind if I ping you at a later time about the exact steps of updating?

I hear you about the kernels. What is HBM? My experience with my Pixel is my first exposure to dealing with kernels.

Do you remember where you read about the partition system spreading to other devices?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
HBM is high brightness mode. It brightens the screen when in high sunlight. Most phones can do it, but not stock. It is activated by the kernel. Franco and ElementalX do it, and both do it automatically. Very handy for me, I motorcycle a lot and have the phone on the handlebars for Nav.

I don't know anything about future plans for dual partitions in other phones. I certainly wouldn't be surprised.....their goal is to make updates faster, more like an iPhone and ot does do that.

Hit the link below. 3 post to get set up and flash stock image without losing data. You would just use the latest version to update.

Then the 11th post to root, just get the newest version of SU.

[MENTION=4998526]TonikJDK[/MENTION] One more question - if I root with SuperSU, will I lose root every time I flash stock and remove -w?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dwlotter:
Notification symbols show at the top of my screen but when I pull down they do not show up. Screenshots do not show this. When I pull down the notification panel it shows those things like Wi-Fi and GPS but nothing else. On my lock screen I see the notifications but I cannot touch them to go in to those running apps. Can someone please tell me how to get those notifications. One is Google photos another is an email also the download Arrow is there but I do not know what is downloading and then there are three dots indicating that there are others. And also when I do pull down the symbols are all in dark background not white as it was a few days ago. I do not know what I did

Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Have you tried restarting your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dwlotter:
Yes I did restart the phone and I have just done that again with the same result. The pull-down says no notifications yet there are notification symbols at the top

I disabled my lockscreen and instead changed the button mapping to only turn on the screen when I double press and hold either power or home with Xposed Additions, which works perfect (Home button sometimes doesn't wake, power does). Problem though is this damn annoying battery warning keep on waking my phone.

Anybody know a method to disable it that still works on Android 6.0 Touchwiz?

How do you install the .cab files?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eyecrispy:
put it on your device and run it (select it). it will prompt you if you need anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sinmae:
hi,

I am sure, that in here, I mean on xda forum, was a procedure or program for PC, which installs CAB files remotely. so it was not necesary to put CAB file first to device and then install. try to search a bit for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] starkwong:
No...without a third-party software, CABs must be installed from device.

Which Rom is best for our device... Aicp or jaguar or RR...

So far from the comments i understand aicp is the most stable and gives the highest battery standby but lacks frequent updates or support from the developer... Jaguar gives high performance but low standby.. Need to activate af wall... Webview manually and best support and updates from the developer....

Rr has some bugs but good for customization....

This is my personal feedback...

Please comment your thoughts too so that we can conclude the best rom for our device.....

Go for AICP or Jaguar. Im currently using AICP.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] VVebster:
I think AICP is the best.

I have been using AICP since 2 months and its the rom, which I felt like I should not change, you can make a lot of customization in it.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] G7495x:
Official Viper!

Has ota, insane customization, extremely stability, INSANE benchmark scores and amazing battery life at the same time!!!

Seriously, you need to try this ROM!!!

I had never heard of it either before I tried... Never switching again

Benchmarks at oneplus territory... OnePlus owners watch out!

P.S. I had stuttering issues with resurrection remix, hence switched ?

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Zawf:

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Kiranbhand1:

Aex and Jaguar
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] dxg_17:
RR is the best and stable

I'm using RR since 3months, Even though it is discontinued. It has good battery and performance.

Its the stable rom according to me.

I have tried Viper and AICP before.

Thanks.:)

Hi All,

I wanted to enable sms delivery reports but couldn't find it under messages settings. I have tried multiple sms programs where I enable the feature, send an sms but no delivery report is ever received and the sms details is always showing Sent, not even delivered.

After lots of checking, I found out that for each individual contact, you can enable the delivery report. You need to compose sms, click on the menu button, click on sending settings and here you can select Request Delivery report.

The issue is that even this didn't work and it doesn't stay selected. Once you exit messages and get it again, it is on off.

I have checked the SMS centre number and it is correct, tried simply card on another mobile and delivery reports are received without any issues.

Anyone can advice of a solution to this?

Thank you in advance

I am currently on RR 5.8.4 64 bit ROM. I flashed this RR ROM via Twrp x64 recovery. Then I switched to 32 bit twrp recovery as my device is 1gb a6000 variant. And now when I tried to flash aosp extended v4.5 ROM it shows error 225 and the ROM is not flashed. I don't the aosp v4.5 ROM is a 32 bit or 64 bit one.

I have a rooted/unlocked Photon Q with a partially functional display. The initial warning "Your phone has been unlocked" comes up fine. When I put it in bootloader mode, the fast boot messages appear fine. On regular boot the screen is either black or on one occasion showed some randomly scattered pixels. Booting into recovery (TWRP) results in a black screen. In all cases adb/fastboot are able to properly communicate with the phone. I was able to test if the screen was on or off using adb commands, as well as turn it on/off. The commands did register and showed the screen correctly or or off though this was not reflected in the visual screen output. When toggling on/off state I saw some activity - it almost looked like the brightness was set to 0, but I verified that with adb as well and even set it to 100 to be sure with no change in the display behavior.

So my suspect is the graphics card, but it must be just some video modes given that fastboot diagnostic and initial warning can be displayed. I am about to replace the motherboard, but I am just curious about what exactly is wrong (and if by chance it can be fixed without replacing the motherboard). I also looked around for documentation on the video modes of the Photon Q graphics adapter, but could not find anything relevant - if somebody could point me to the right source this would be appreciated.

I would not mind writing some C code to poke around on the low level, but it would be nice to start from some sample code rather than from scratch.
