The complete pixel experience - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been a stock user my entire time with my previous Nexus 5 and my current Nexus 6P, but since google decided not give us the latest and greatest software this time around I think it's time I rooted so I can get the complete pixel experience but I'm kind of lost, I see a lot posts and kernels and I don't know what to chose so can someone help me out so I can be running the complete pixel software.
Pixel Launcher with now tab
Google Assistant
The new dialer
The new live wallpaper
The new moves settings
Night light
Anything else I've forgotten
If someone can guide me I'd really appreciate it.

No one? Someone must have this setup and share how he/she did it

you can goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/flashable-zip-pixel-launcher-goodies-t3484455 google drive link and download pixel launcher 7.1.1 MRL then flash zip in twrp
the only thing missing is navbar isnt themed so go ahead and get substratum and download N Navbar off playstore and apply N Navbar Circle
after that..
go into your build.prop and find ro.product.model= Nexus 6p and make it say Pixel XL
then add this line underneath it ro.opa.eligible_device=true
save and reboot, goto google app clear data, long press home to set up google assistant.
reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
fingerprint mod can be an app http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-fingerprint-to-unlock-t3466549
if you want night light your gonna have to disregard first link and apply this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/flashable-zip-night-light-round-icons-t3486794
its also same thing just minor differences
rounded icons are still in the works
and ofcorse you will need to enroll into beta and grab 7.1.1 after that unlock ur bootloader and after that root it up , or unlock your bootloader first .. anything can

I don't think anyone is helping because there are already numerous threads with every you just described already included.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/flashable-zip-night-light-round-icons-t3486794
all you need is to flash the latter and uncle with the recent recovery mod

That's exactly the problem, there are numerous threads and I don't know which to use, do I use two of em together or just one of em is enough?

This doesn't include the actual pixel launcher so I assume I need to flash another zip before hand that includes the pixel launcher

[App]{MotoActv] MotoActv DPI

This is another one of the apps i have been working on lately, it allows you to Change your MotoActv's DPI to three options
-90 dpi (my personal favorite)
-100 dpi
-stock (120 dpi)
notable features:
-Stays on reboots
-Dpi sticks even when app is uninstalled (through build.prop method)
-simple 3-button menu with easy to read insturcions
simple as that, requires a ROOTED MotoActv with working SuperUser, and has only been tested and confirmed on ClearD's ClearRom (and my personal mod of it released on his thread)
feel free to include this in ANY MotoActv rom(with or without credits, since credits are in almost all my apps), as it should work universally for them, but not recommended for phones, ad the dpi is WAAAAYYYY too small for em lol
download:
Google Play Store Download Link
Awesome! Will be testing now!

it works fully with working SuperUser, im getting my github in order and im going to make it open source, right now im figuring out a good way to do my github arrangement, as the old one didnt work well apparently i cant make the projects ina sub-folder without it counting as a whole project lol
but its simple and uses open-source librarys that were featured on xda-developers' protal not too long ago, im adding credits to it once i get ym github in order =)
New version uploaded:
new features include:
-button red background (fixes dark text on dark background for those using ClearD's Cleardroid rom, now included in his roms, and will keep updates here)
Download link still the same
Thanks, great app!!!
Is there anyway to get the motoactv launcher icons and stuff to stretch to the new api. For ex: the running person to being workout is small and left aligned.
Maye there is a custom motoactv "stock" launcher?

idk i never messed with the layout of the stock launcher =S, it might work, but things like the volume slider will not be able to fix easy, as its rom-sided, but the DPI is mostly how it reads to the screen, so unless its a .9.png image it wont stretch unless its setup with different images so unless someone modifies the launcher with those fixes, u will have to get used to the misaligned icons or goto stock when u want it to look desent, as its only a button tap away but im testing some mods for the ReActv rom atm, i love using CLEARDROID alot, but untill he gets a stable build made for me to implement my mod pack imma mod mine with Reactv for a bit untill then, i already got it rooted(as for some reason superuser wasnt working in my flash, so i used a different exploit), testbuild init.d, my mod_pack items+scripts, removed unneeded system apps+Ringtones+files, removed items leading to some battery drain(from missing cellular anteaneas), and working on native screenshot at this minute acually lol so im kinda busy, along with mods to my app SMS Tasks trying to make it work better w/o root through custom recovery making it a system-signed system app for non-root reboots+More Reliable gps Toggle features
If you want to fix the stock launcher when running a custom DPI, then I'd suggest you go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44034334&postcount=2315
and install the xposed app as well as xposedappsettings. Then you can simply set the motoactv stock apps to run at 120dpi as they were intended, while everything else can run at whatever you default to. It can be used to fix some other apps that crash at specific DPIs or screen orientations too.
to all u MotoActv Users with ROOTED MotoActv's and Google Play Store access i changed the link in the OP to my new Google Play Merchant account so if i make any updates (even if this app is considered FINAL as its already the best it can be for its purpose) u can download +restore it there to save some internal sdcard space from an APK download =)
heres a link for all u that do "view latest post" and didnt see the Link in the OP
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KittleApps.app.motoactvdpi
edit#1:
if anyone needs the apk (as i changed the link) for an alternitive download let me know in a reply here and ill re-add it in addition to the play store link if it was a inconvenience to some =)

[Guide] [Easy] THE G-Pixel experience! (Cyanogenmod 14 | Google Assistant | MORE)

Hello!
I was feeling helpful today so I decided to create a Guide on how to make your Oneplus X as similar as possible to the new Google Pixel phones, software wise.
So here we go:
Requirements
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*]Oneplus X (You never know)
[*][URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917"][B]New Bootloader[/B][/URL]
[*][URL="https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-onyx-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-take-efs-backup-more.401713/"]Unlocked Bootloader[/URL]
[*][URL="https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-onyx-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-take-efs-backup-more.401713/"]custom recovery installed (I'll be using TWRP)[/URL]
[*]minimal tech savyness
[*][I]SD Card (Optional but RECOMMENDED)[/I]
[/LIST]
Step 1erforming a backup of Data
I would recommend you backed up your data because this process WILL wipe it.
Here is a guide on how to backup your device
Step 2: Downloading ZIPs
Okay, so here is the annoying part, downloading the actual ZIPs that we're going to be installing on your device. I'll do the hard part, finding all the links
Rom: Recommended version
If you are using my recommended version (first link) please make sure you have updated your bootloader to the latest version.
Google Apps (Play Store etc): http://opengapps.org/
Please check these boxes for the best experience: arm | 7.1 | nano
SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Google Assistant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69074667&postcount=112"
Please download all three files provided in the download page
*Optional* Google Launcher / Dialer / Bootanimation / Ringtones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/google-pixel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907
After you downloaded those files, please move them to your SD CARD. If you don't have one, just move them as far as possible upwards.
Step 3: Booting into custom recovery
This is probably the easiest step, simply power off the Device and perform the following action:
Long press the POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until you arrive into recovery.
Step 4:Wiping everything
Unfortunately, because we are installing a new ROM, we can't keep all our data because it would conflict with the new version.
On the GUI of your chosen recovery, find the WIPE option and wipe System and Data. Make sure you don't wipe the place where you downloaded the ZIPs and where you may have backed up your device.
Step 5:Installing ZIPs
Navigate to the "Install" section on your Custom Recovery and "flash" one by ALL the Zips we downloaded. Please follow this order:
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*] Rom | Cyanogenmod 14
[*] SuperSU
[*] Google Apps
[*]The all-in-one ZIP that includes Google Launcher / Dialer / Boot animation / Ringtones
[*] Google Assistant
[I]If you are not sure about a ZIP, I would invite you to look at the forum thread's steps.[/I]
[/LIST]
Step 6:Done!
There you go! You have completed the installation process. You should be able to boot up the device and restore the backup. If you have problems. I'd invite you to look at the replies and if you can't find anything there, feel free to ask me.
Code:
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with the geniuses who created those ZIP files.
I am merely trying to be helpful to the average user who is not very knowing in this field.
I would also like to say that I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
Your phone could be blow up* and start World War 3, that wouldn't be my problem.
[I]*It shouldn't though.[/I]

As of 18-01-17 this thread is outdated but should work
Will update it and remove this message as soon as possible.
So for your opion better pixel luncher or cyanogenmod? In your Oneplus X the luncher or Google Assistant have bugs?
Edit: you need to rewrite everything because in the mobile version is all a mess.
Looks great on my mobile browser thanks for this. Will give it a go when I have time. Side note this doesn't require certain Google app version?
Guide works perfect ! Except the boot animation scaled incorrectly (not your problem)
Flashing this boot animation correctly scaled for me https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ei1NyHKTpuSGhyYTNhRGxVVWc/view
Would this work on Exodus 6.0 Rom? Or any other ROM except for CM?
Thanks for sharing this !
Great to see the community coming up with hacks and mods for us with an old chipset!
Additionally you can try the Live Pixel Wallpapers back-ported to ARM & 6.0 by another developer.

Any time I try to use Assistant from "Ok Google" keyword, it asks me to retrain my voice - have you noticed this ?
The bodge fix workaround is to use Tasker + AutoInput to always click "Later" when it asks you to retrain and it takes you straight to the assistant.
I'd be interested to hear whether you had a similar issue

Exodus 6.0 is Marshmallow.
The guide recommends CM14 because it's based on Nougat. The guide will mostly work on the other Nougat based ROMs too but not M based ROMs

I have just modded Round icons and Blue Accent color. I am working on Pixel Animated Navigation Bar. I will soon complete the work and come up with the new zip files.
How to Install this Mod
Reboot your phone into Recovery
Click on Install button
Search for the Pixel_Experience_MOD_AOSP.zip in your directory
Flash it and then Reboot your Phone
Clear your default launcher data.

- Pixel Blue Accent
- Round Icons for Settings and Downloads
- Pixel Animated Navigation Bar. (Thanks to @Sashko98)

Yeah, I don't have all round icons either, but I guess that is because the app itself don't have a round icon.

How do you do that? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but the only way I know how to do that is through Google Now settings, and the menu item that I'm thinking should be there ('Google Assistant') isn't.

What's your root method? This happened to me once before also. I was rooted with Magisk so I installed the add GA module. Quick and easy and it was back. If you are rooted with SuperSU then I would recommend uninstalling it with the uninstaller zip found in the SU thread. Alternatively you can install Magisk over the top of it but all the features like Magisk hide may not work. Another option would be to flash a different Rom. Nitrogen and Cortex are both good options and GA should work by default.

Please note "(Rooted)" and no use of the word "Stock":
I understand that one or more of the tweaks I've done could be causing this, hense: .
I didn't know where I would be crossing the line into too much, useless into... I was just hoping someone would be able to give me a handful of common things that could cause this. If that's out of the scope of this forum, then I'm sorry for wasting everybody's time.

Rom Toolbox may be running into a conflict with the Pixel Launcher you flashed. I have a similar root and pixel launcher setup minus fonts and other customizations and my shortcut to RT widgets is broken as it will not create the shortcut on the home screen. I haven't had the time to investigate, but it isn't a high priority for me.
Have you tried a clean flash of the October rom?
- Wipe data/dalvik/cache
- flash your various stock rom images (bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor)
- flash your root method
- flash pixel launcher and reboot into system.
- Setup phone, G Assist, etc.
- Install Rom Toolbox and desired mods
Lengthy process, but it may be worthwhile to contact JRummy, the author of the Pixel launcher, and sending various logs for analysis and help...
hello did you try to clear cache and data from the google app and reboot? that helped me.

I use Chainfire's systemless root method. I've had GA with this root method before... I'll research Magisk (I've read a little about it, but not enough to be comfortable to jump into it yet) if I'm not able to find another solution. Thank you for your suggestion.

I didn't flash any Pixel launchers... I use Action launcher. I was hoping to avoid wiping all my data, but will do it if I can't get anything else working. Thanks!

it is not a TWRP flashable zip , you have to extract the content of the zip & then flash the content trough fastboot ,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img (if your main slot is a then flash with this command)
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
with fastboot binary inside the unziped folder , or cd to the directory if you are on linux ,
hope this helps .

Follow the instructions, make sure you flash the stock factory image from google website
Thanks for sharing this. Exactly what I wanted, nice and lean
ROM?
How do you unlock the bootloader of sailfish updated to Android Q? There's a decent amount of people who're saying that the manufacturers shipped it with a locked bootloader in order to prevent the use of custom ROMS.

Can i try with locked bootloader...?
Needed a change. Thank You for your work! I like VANILLA. (Really I do)
Edit1... Found the news link on Pixel launcher in any 10. It does work if you want it. Just followed instructions, it worked. OnePlus 6 Guides >Get Pixel Launcher with Overview Selection on Android 10< I know Vanilla and I added sprinkles <>

No Pixel Launcher! (EDIT: I am using gestures, see below.) There are some apps that add that capacity. I'm trying to restore the Pixel Launcher with TiBu but haven't been successful yet.
---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------
@kkjb gives info about how to add it back above but I haven't figured that out yet either. I've been having problems installing apk's on 10. I get a "Sorry, no application available"
EDIT: ES File Explorer and perhaps other file managers that haven't been updated to work with 10 don't work. Amaze or the native file manager works, as do others I expect that are designed to work with the scoped memory framework of 10.

Well, I have to correct myself! I'm using gestures now but I don't remember how I got it or selected it or whatever. When I figure it out, I'll post it.
Is anybody else seeing this when searching settings?
Any chance for an updated version of this?
This is some freakin' cool $hit!!!
What are the main advantages of this rom over stock android 10?

Research the differences between AOSP, Code Aurora (CAF) and stock Google. Then with custom roms that are built either from stock or aosp, you'll know what to expect. I'll give a quick overview for you.
AOSP is pure Android. While heavily influenced by Google, it's 100% open source and free to modify. It includes no extra apps, no Google, nothing. The only thing on this rom that says Google is the search bar on the home screen, and I'm fairly sure that's only for dev testing because there's not even a browser really, it's just AOSP's webview. AOSP is the cleanest, simplest system you can get. It should have the least bugs and also the least features. It literally doesn't include a browser. CAF is basically optimized AOSP. It's Qualcomm directed so optimizations can be done on the Snapdragon chips. You will rarely see AOSP without CAF code because no one likes an unoptimized phone. Qualcomm produces optimization code because they make the chips, Google adds Android features like gesture navigation because Google is on the software side, and the end result is stock Android. The main advantage to AOSP is a clean system. The only Google apps on there are the ones you install yourself. This is my preferred method since I like to add things one at a time, and if there are any issues I remove the last thing I added. There's no extra background stuff I have to sort through if I have an app crash or battery drain. The counter is that I get zero extra features, I must add them all myself. On this rom for example, gestures must be activated (the apks are in fact present in the system), no pixel launcher, no play store, no Find My Device, nothing extra. OP included a vendor image for Mind the Gapps. These are open source implementations of Google apps, but the apps themselves still use Google's proprietary code. Necessary to still use proprietary code if you want everything to work like stock. Open Gapps is one I've used a lot, still fits my preference because it only installs base Google framework, allowing you to choose what Gapps you install. For example, Play Music which I never use is typically just taking up space on my phone and can't normally be uninstalled. With Open Gapps, it's not installed by default in the pico package, and I can install and uninstall play music at will. This is base knowledge for installing custom roms. If you just want things to work, stick to stock. But I've found I get better battery life with AOSP/ Lineage and minimal Gapps. Lineage has more bugs than stock. Pros and cons, pick your poison.
OP- Not underwhelmed, I'm overjoyed. This is exactly what I wanted. Nice and clean, the only extras are what I personally add. My tether options are greyed out, does anyone know how to enable them? It can't be a rom issue, everything works. Just a build.prop edit I'm assuming?
