TWRP, etc - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

How long will it take to get TWRP, custom ROMs, etc?

I don't think anyone knows right now. I know our phones have different partitions than others so it may take some time for it to be stable for us to use. I did see jcase post something on twitter about TWRP on a Pixel.

I saw a post in the dev thread (the only kernel thread right now) that they are working on twrp. The biggest challenge sounds like figuring out the file based encryption used on the pixel device.

I hope they hurry!
The saying "you never know what you've got until it's gone" is very true. :crying:

No disrespect was intended. My post is a lighthearted comment on life without a rooted device.

My guess is that they're trying to figure out how to best accommodate and exploit the dual partition goodness.

I'm patient. I was just curious.

Root is already achieved. Chainfire posted a screenshot today

Nice. dude is amazballs

Root is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/root-supersu-t3490156

Does anyone know where we can monitor the progress of TWRP?
AFAIK, the Dev isn't huge on posting Twitter/G+ updates but I could be wrong.
I'm not asking for a progress update (I may be lying).
TWRP and Xposed for 7.1 are the next huge things we're waiting on.
And then we all wait for our favorite ROM to get developed.
Dirty Unicorns or Broken OS for me please. :good:

Sounds like Ethan is making progress on TWRP but still has a ways to go.

TLDR: Successfully decrypted File Based Encryption in recovery. Now we can start working on integrating decrypt and new features, but still a ways to go.

You just know there are already several devs waiting to drop ROM bombs on us. :good:

It doesn't look like much can be done until we get recovery.
I've built a stock, debloated, deodexed rom but cant test without recovery.
I've tried to compile recovery but I am afraid it's beyond my expertise.
Let me know if I can help
I spent my free time arguing today didn't even see your reply til now. I'll see what's up tomorrow before work though and I believe a rom can be flashed via stock recovery if done right. .. Maybe I think I read somewhere we can sideload? Worth investigation if you have a rom to test yaknow but use caution

Stock recovery has sideload but I tried the rom with no luck. I did the update via sideload on my good phone (regretting it now) and it worked.
maybe because its signed by samsung.

Yeah there's another step and I think that's the updater script that has to be altered to mimic Samsung or ported to your rom but I am just throwing you ideas for now. Hope it helps

Wishful thinking from a non-developer:
- debloated AOSP
- deodexed
- overclocking
- fast charge
- mount as usb storage
- cwm recovery
While all of these things are what I'd love to see, fast charge is a big one. I use my phone as a GPS navigator on my motorcycle, powered via USB outlet. I'm not sure about this model but my PRIOR phones would lose battery power faster than the usb outlet would charge. Fast charge settings options would remedy this.
I've never built a rom. I think it's time I read up and learn why I don't have what it takes to build one hahaha.
what?
Knox bootloader, wondering if stock out the box comes with it or if the ota update is the bringer of it. .

Hey justlove, any developments on a CWM Recovery install?
Progress is slow but we're getting there..
Just got a pm that will potentially give us a break.

I've been in frequent contact with justlovejoy over the last few days and we have been working diligently to get everything needed together. We are working on it and one or both of us will give updates as they become available.

If by "New" you mean some super meaningful "OMGOSH We're almost there!" type update... No.
All I can really say is that we are still working on it. I believe justlove and I are going to be a pretty good team, we are in daily contact with each other and are working as hard as we can given the circumstances.
I know this is going to sound like normal dev bull s**t but please try to be patient and I'll let you know when we reach certain milestones.

OTA updates

I'm running Skydragon rom 0.0.5 and was wondering how to disable OTA updates. I had friend with Note 2 on T-mobile and he never clicked on OTA update and his phone took it anyway and wiped his whole phone. I had to reflash stock rom thru odin to get it to even work. Another reason is that I had G flex before my G3 and when it updated to KitKat the battery life truly sucked. Any help will be appreciated.
This is in the wrong section. This should be in Q&A.
Having said that, I'm sure Holy angel already disabled that.
Worst case scenario download titanium backup and look for the update service and freeze it

The following was provided by AutoPrime:
Open LG Hidden Menu (3845#*851#) --> WLAN Test --> OTA Setting --> OFF
(This worked on LG G2.. hopefully work on G3 but won't be confirmed until OTA comes out)
Look, instead of rushing to take an OTA to get the latest software.. think for a moment.
We do no know if the TMO D851 boot loader will stay unlocked in future updates. OTA's can update not only software..
but the boot stack as well.. enabling features to block downgrades.. close exploits.. and all sorts of fun stuff.
so.. instead of taking an OTA.. wait for the files to get posted so we can look at things first.. possibly only updating /system, /boot, modem (maybe tz/rpm)
without updating the rest of the boot stack. ya... do that.
If your running a custom rom and a custom recovery you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Last I knew your phone can't take a OTA with a custom recovery, unless thats changed.

Here's the thing you have been a member for years you should know the rules by now (they are the same for EVERY phone). If you know the rules and post in the proper places this wouldn't happen. Some may be nice about pointing out your mistake others not so much. In the end you asked for it by posting this here so you won't find to much sympathy.
Seriously some of you need to grow the hell up and chill out. he posted in the wrong section. WOW.. someone shoot him in the head now. Seriously? There is less than 10 threads in the ENTIRE dev section for the tmo g3.... RELAX. breathe and tell yourself its gonna be ok.

Absolutely not true. At almost 6 million members can you imagine the chaos that would insue with no posting guidelines? A free for all of post where you want, what you want etc? Now I will say name calling is not appropriate either but honestly, and not that this makes it right but if you spend enough time on these forums you tend to get frustrated in repeating the basic rules that you agree to when you join and, at times, perhaps that it's expressed in a reply.
Basically 2 wrongs do not make a right, in the same instance not following the rules never makes a right. Simple enough, post where you are supposed too.

If you are going to flash a ROM, even via FlashFire, I believe that you will trip Knox. Same with a custom kernel. (Joe, can you ask a dev?) That said, if flashing a ROM is in your future or if you want to include this in your tutorial, then you might as well flash and use TWRP. And if you flash TWRP, you should flash the patch.
Joe, I hope to see you on the Dark Side soon...we have cookies! (And some pretty cool ROMS!)

Progress Report?

With kernals we're close to root and twrp, perhaps xposed.
Anyone who's working for/with able to provide a progress report?
Perhaps a test boot.img?
Update 23.12.17 Proof that root is possible by Xshooter726
Update: 28.12.17 by DarkestSpawn
1, A/B partitioning needs smoothed out in twrp
2, Wi-Fi driver issues in twrp
3, no factory images for those that don't read through all the subdirectories and rush things and brick their device
4, waiting on the generous purchase delivery of a Razer phone to be delivered to Dees_Troy
5, Still in the holiday time frame, peeps have real life things to take care of.
6, other things in the background being chatted with between the devs and tester(s)

You guys are amazing and sharing the work that you do for your own devices with us makes you incredibly generous. I cant begin to explain how grateful I am that after spending all of that time and risking bricks you simply hand over a solution and specific instructions so we can do the same.

Sounds cool.. You guys care to share exactly what sort of tweaks your thinking of in the build prop :good:
https://thedroidguru.com/15-best-android-build-prop-tweaks-must-try-2017/
These have a few of the more popular tweaks.. But as you go you find more that work specifically for each phone.
Camera2 API - this phones camera is capable of so much more.
Also being on a carrier version meant I didn't get the full update Min tweeted about. The phone in its current state is a bit like an android version of an iPhone.
Maybe add Viper too, the convolver would be a nice addition to Dolby experience.
Anyone else have a vision?

General TWRP 3.6.0 major parts rewritten from scratch to support Google's Android 11 changes, so they are hopeful for a much quicker Android 12 release

https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-6-0-release-android-11-support/
...Apart from these, TWRP is now fully compatible with devices with factory-installed Android 11. Due to the fact that a major portion of the TWRP codebase has already been rewritten from scratch in this course to support the architectural changes introduced by Google, the project maintainers are hopeful to see a much quicker release process for Android 12.

Thats very good news.

I think there are encryption changes in A12 which may take longest to work through
Interesting ... looking forward to that ... I've had to live without it on OnePlus recent phones ...
That's a big step for TWRP!
How is this actually useful on devices that can be written to with fastboot?

Being able to flash ROMs / kernels without having to be tethered to your computer.

It seems to me that making it possible to do risky things while you are not in a position to fix it is actually an anti-feature.

Thanks for your concern but we've been doing fine for about 10 years it's not a must-have anymore but it's NOT an anti-feature.

Everyone has their own appetite for risk or not. Those who want to flash whilst being away from a computer will be able to do so with TWRP once it is release for A12 and this phone.
And TWRP is multi-function. I just felt a hell of a lot safer when it gave me an easy, full nandroid backup/restore.

Quoted from your other thread to bring the only news (in the OP of this post) we have so far about TWRP on the P6P to your attention.
I don't think we've heard specifically about Lineage. https://forum.xda-developers.com/se...[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=12313&o=relevance
There are a few other custom ROMs mentioned in this section.

Absolutely. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. As far as how much time, I'm not a betting man. ADB/FastBoot and Magisk are fine for me right now.
