Instructions:

BOOT TO THE RECOVERY/TWRP
WIPE DATA, SYSTEM AND THE CACHES
FLASH A AOSP OS/ROM/FIRMWARE/KERNEL
GO TO THE REBOOT MENU AND SELECT RECOVERY
FLASH THE PATCH BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE SYSTEM
REBOOT TO THE SYSTEM NOW. THE FIRST START MAY TAKE SOME TIME

And that's it. If You don't want to flash a new ROM, just choose the Clean or Full Wipe within the Patch.

So is this a Rom/Custom Kernel or is it a Rom mod? Is it compatible with Android Nougat or Android Oreo?

No Mod, No ROM. It's a PATCH which is basically a ROM but it does not include any Device Specific Firmware Files, means Support for all Flagship Snapdragon 64Bit Devices in One ZIP. It Optimizes Your Device without killing Safety Net or any Services like Netflix or Super Mario Run, PokeMon Go and so on.

Dunno about Oreo Support yet. My Axon 7 is still running 7.1.2 but it should work flawless with the next Version of the PATCH. No Warranty so do Backups before flashing it :fingers-crossed:

BTW: The Patch enables all Pixel Exclusive Stock Features on AOSP, and that's what it's meant for. Bringing uber Stock Quality to AOSP. Hope You will like it on the Pixel Devices Folks! Enjoy!

EDIT: I will start the upload of V1.3 in some Hours, it includes the Mgaisk 14.2 Beta as default Option which should enable Support for the Pixel Devices. Fingers crossed for You!

Thanks mate. I am running PureNexus Rom as LineageOS etc just reboots for me.

Holy cow. This sounds amazing. Thanks. This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to mess anything up, do I need to be running a stock rom? I'm using Pure Nexus right now. Can I flash this while using PN, or is this only for Stock users?

Think You should wait for V1.3. Still working on it. Testing... Can't wait to upload it!

AOSP is the best Base for the Patch. Pure Nexus should be a good Base to gain more than a Pixel like Experience- Unlimited Photo Uploads and Tethering besides instant Apps should be also enabled. And Check out the 4K HDR Options in Apps like Youtube... There are to many Features to list them all alone

Awesome thank you! Just wanted to make sure it would work. I'm so glad that there is still more and more stuff coming to the Pixel! First Magisk and now this!

Upload has started, one Hour left. You will find the File in the Releases Folder. Google Drive handles it pretty well...

Let Me know how it works for You Folks!

EDIT: Would be Awesome to get a dump of a Oreo Stock System from the Pixel XL ! There is more to merge and i need to update some Google Specific Files including Features for the Camera...

whitak3r · Sep 30, 2017 at 4:14 AM

Just downloaded version 1.3. I'm at work but I will get it off my GDrive when I get home and test it out. Thanks again man!

Leeum · Sep 30, 2017 at 12:09 PM

One other question. Will it work with ElementalX Kernel?

Kernel related problems in combination with my Patch are not possible as far I know. Some Kernels may just work better than Others. Especially that One's who are including the right patches for Audio and Performance...

I'd like to know what things like "OPTIMIZED SUPERSU INCLUDED" mean. What is done? Why are GAPPS optimized?

Things we should know before flashing this to our phones tbh

I could write Books about what's done. SuperSU isn't longer available since V1.3 but was included with changed Settings in previous Versions. The GApps are debloated as far as possible while providing all extra Services from Google like Keyboards, WebView/Chrome, TTS, Storage Manager and so. Means actually a Light Version of the Super Open GApps. The Threads are getting a update asap. from Me including all latest available Features. I haven't done anything for a while since I'm moved to a new Home and all that. But think I'm proofed since I'm doing my Patch already for Years on XDA :cowboy:

Oh ya I'm not saying I don't trust you, I just wanted to know what I'm putting on my phone before I do. Thanks for your info.

Also, where is the download ? I see the link and go to the site but the releases show last updated in July... Is this out yet?

Glad to hear that :angel:

I will redo the Feature Lists this Weekend, hoping for a better Overview. The Homepage gets also some Updates. Let Me know if i missing something important on the Descriptions!

And about the Download: The Release Folder includes always only One File. The File in there is always the latest Patch. The File Names are caused by My automated ZIP Process, and Google Drive handles it by making Copies from older uploaded Versions (Backups). Saves Space and avoids that Users download older Versions. Hope that makes Sense somehow...

not a chance in hell i'd install something like this without looking over the source...

There is nothing included which can't be opened or overviewed. Concerns are misguided here...
Any ROMs/APPs could include more Spyware and Backdoors than My Patch lol
