I know this is going to sound crazy simple to some folks, but in step 6. Mount... Vendor... Could someone break this step down? I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
In twrp, hit mount, then tap/check vendor.

I have a small issue thats been bothering me since upgrading to RR6. It seems as though the color controls have been cut down a lot in favor of this mini theming engine, if you can call it that. I run the dark option but the blue is the only secondary color with enough contrast to work for me and it kinda sucks I cant choose custom with a color picker like before and I don't really want to run Substratum again because I now know how gunked up and slow it used to make my phone run on RR 5.8.4. But the more pressing issue here is Ive notice that the alert dialogue pop ups (I think thats what they are called because its not a standard notification) are all black text against either a very dark gray or its also black with a light opacity. Either way I can never read them and I have no idea where to change this. Does anyone know of a setting or way to accomplish this?

Also is there possibly any way to change the order of the volume panel items? I know its a small thing but it would be nice to be able to set the phone as the first slider and then the media, this way I wouldnt have to click the drop down every time.

Hi., Which is the best kernel for this rom?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] velveteen71:
Hi:

Just got my Pixel XL yesterday and was happy to see an RR ROM for it.

I want to get RR going, but here's my question: I'm on OPM4.171019.016.B1. So I am ok to go ahead, right? The installation instructions re: OPM1 were making me think: wait, I have to downgrade first...?

Thanks!

I just want to make sure that the steps in the first post are correct? Do I need Gapps, kernel and rom? Also do I need to use my computer for any steps? I am on latest 8.1.0 and have Magisk and TWRP installed. Please let me know so I can install without any problems?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andrew2432:
I'm also wondering about some clarification. The OP States the ROM is based on 8.1 opm1.171019.029 but then later says if you need to flash opm1.171019.021 first. This is the older build then the newer? Are you unable to upgrade from a previous version? Just wondering why this is mentioned! All the pixel ROMs seem to have a specific stock that's best to start with, I don't wanna mess up along the way. Should the newest factory image be avoided for this ROM? June 2018 I think is out.

[MENTION=6366347]gumbi2647[/MENTION]

To my knowledge:

1. boot twrp and factory reset as well as dalvik/art.

2. flash ROM

3. Flash twrp zip (which I believe means the installer zip in order to keep twrp after rom install)

4. Reboot to recovery (switches slots)

5. Flash stock vendor image from a stock ROM, idk which one, probably opm1.xxx.029.

6. Mount vendor partition, switch to file manager and find and delete the /vendor/overlay folder

7. Flash gapps, no alternative in this ROM for pixel?? Without gapps you'll be missing some system apps that aren't available with the play store, this is nano and small anyway!!

Kernels and such should be looked at in their thread. Some need flashed prior to ROM/root some after. Depends on the instructions that I've noticed so far.

Since there's no external SD card to my knowledge (still waiting on USPS!!) You will need to have all the files on your computer first. Rom, twrp installer, vendor image, gapps. Then after the factory reset/wipe, you'll need to move over the files. Maybe internal storage stays intact? No idea, but this is how I will probably do it. You will also need to extract the vendor image from the stock ROM, either the one you're currently on or the march or April build, waiting on response. Just double click, open the next folder, double click the image-marlin-xxx zip, let it extract, copy the vendor file somewhere and eventually your phone.

[MENTION=4210336]R2DeeTard[/MENTION]

Op says coming from previous RR Oreo builds is ok, so 7.x should maybe follow wiping instructions?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
I know why you guys always ask for folks, having issues, to chronicle their competed steps.

I had another failed attempt and was going to post what steps I took and what I saw and while writing, realized I had not flashed GAPPS.

With no GAPPS is this why I didn't have the setup wizard presented after flashing this ROM?

I started with the April firmware, as my previous two attempts, but this time it asked for the May Vendor image. I also forgot to clear the Vendor Ovelay folder.

What issues does forgetting to clear that folder lead to?

Because I hadn't seen the setup wizard, I knew I was going to have to start over, so I took a shot and restored a Nandroid created, after my last successful RR install and setup, that was made before screwing it all up attempting to root with Magisk.

With the Nandroid restored, it would get past the bubble shooting and eating RR splash screen.

Why is that?

My apologies for all of my continued issues, but this Dual Slot Pixel way of doing things is kicking my butt I greatly appreciate any help thrown my way!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andrew2432:
Was you RR Oreo or nougat? I had an issue restoring backups across android versions once. You may need to flash the original stock demanded or used by your backup first before restore! My backup would do the same thing on another device before I changed the stock stuff to what it was when I clean installed the ROM.

And it also sounds like you're there! Yo ujust forgot gapps and vendor image. Not a big deal, you got it!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
I was using Oreo from this April and this Oreo version of RR.

Perhaps the nandroid was faulty.

Thanks, for the encouragement. I was able to get RR up and running, but couldn't root.

I plan on trying again, tonight.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] satori83:
I loved the google camera too but after upgrading to RR 6 I went with this NX camera...it has great settings that stick for HDR+ plus a lot more. (portrait mode, etc,)

Ok this just happened again so its not a fluke... if I use the Restart UI in Advanced Power Off Menu it doesn't just do the quick reboot of UI like previous RR, it takes me to Recovery! Is anyone else having this issue?

I appreciate it!

I finally got it ROMed and rooted!

It only took about seven times.

Fine tuning, now.

I can't figure out two things, so far:

How to remove battery icon. I use battery bar and have no use for the icon, but the selection to turn it off is missing in System UI Tuner.

How to theme. Dose Substratum not work on RR?

[MENTION=4047602]all-[/MENTION] Need some help for updating my RR install on pixel XL, the official flashing instructions in the first post mention about wiping data partition, but i don't want to do that. It's there no real OTA functionality in this rom ?

Can i dirty flash latest build of RR on the last one ? In past i have had issues with dirty flashing this rom.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] loonix:
It is a bit flaky in this ROM. I have described a workaround here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76684490&postcount=20

Also sometimes it still goes away without ever tinkering with the wifi settings. What I usually do in that case is still implement the above workaround then manually turn the Wifi Calling "off". Attempt to make a call knowing fully well it will fail in airplane mode. Then turn it back "on" and make the call again and it starts working. Bizarre :P

I have followed the steps listed to a T but after I reboot after installing Gapps, it boots into a fresh image of Oreo with no RR. Am I supposed to boot into the other slot before booting up? I am getting ready to throw this phone into traffic!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
I had that problem, also, but I'm sorry to say that I don't know why. I just went around, again, starting with the flashall.bat.

Best I can guess, I was missing a flash or a slot change, during the convoluted process of ROMing and rooting this crazy phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] backwoods919:
I have tried everything and no joy.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
I've asked, in this thread, as well as a couple others have, but we have received no answer.

Where is the selection to remove battery icon, in System UI Tuner?

I can't find it in RR Configurations, either.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] backwoods919:
I don't think there is an option to remove it in this ROM. I just change mine to text and let it ride.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
I can't find it, either, but seems odd to me that it would be purposefully removed from the SYSTEM UI TUNER.

Or, is battery icon not available for deselect is System UI Tuner on Oreo?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gumbi2647:
I got it figured out. I was trying to flash the full image instead of the vendor image from the op. I am setting it up right now and so far so good!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:
Well done!

It took me about seven tries before I could get this crazy, 2 slot Pixel ROMed AND rooted.

I got the ROM setup, twice, but couldn't root.

The last run, I kept dropping a step, somewhere along the way.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] backwoods919:
I can't remember if it is available or not. Never really looked to see so not sure.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gumbi2647:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pizza_pablo:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dnsh89:
I've flashed EX kernel and using it since yesterday..

1. Flash rom

2. Twrp and reboot to recovery

3. Flash vendor.img and delete overlay folder in vendor.

4. Flash gapps.

5. Flash ex kernel and boot.

If this doesn't work just flash the kernel after first boot. ( As you see the setup screen, reboot to recovery and flash ex kernel).. ?

"Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen"

We just got Youtube Music and Youtube premium here in Canada yesterday. I thought that I'd get both included with my Google Play Music, but it turns out only Youtube Music. If I want Youtube Premium too, I have to first cancel Play Music, then buy YT Premium, and I'll get all 3 but end up paying $2 more per month. That's fine with me. I want to do it.

HOWEVER: I cannot. When trying to make the purchase, I get the error "It seems another app is blocking access to Wallet. Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen".

I have been looking for the solution for over an hour. There are suggestions to turn off "blue light" settings. No change.

There are suggestions to go to Settings>Apps>"cog">draw over other apps. Those series of steps are not present in this ROM, but nonetheless there is Settings>Apps>Advanced>Special app access>Display over other apps. I tried this and turned off access one-by-one for each app present, no change. I turned them all off, no change.

Any ideas? It's making me nuts!

Quick question: I am on the June 2018 build of the stock ROM (version OPM4.171019.021.D1). In order to flash RR, do I really need to downgrade to the April release? If not, what do I need to consider?

Brand new phone, just unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Nothing else.

Slot A you flash rom and twrp. Wipe first...

Reboot into slot B and flash vendor image and gapps.

Then boot up and make sure it is working properly then you can root if you want.

I'm pretty sure that's the order I went but you have to try it and if you don't get it then just keep trying. It's a son of a gun to get right but it works great when you do!

Disregard the mismatch vendor message. It will not affect anything. As far as gapps missing after you flashed them. Make sure you are using razorloves gapps and you will not have that problem.
