Google Pixel XL is the larger of the two “Made by Google” smartphones introduced last year at the expense of the Nexus line which was a huge favorite among hardcore Android fans and developers alike. It should come as no surprise that despite being way more expensive than the most expensive Nexus smartphone ever, the Google Pixel and the Pixel XL do enjoy the same kind of developer love. And here in this tutorial, we’ll go step by step on how to install Resurrection Remix ROM on Google Pixel XL.

- Download the Resurrection Remix v5.8.2 ROM and TWRP RC1 for Google Pixel XL.
- Transfer all the files to your Pixel XL device.
- Power off your Pixel phone.
- Press & hold Power + Volume down button for a few seconds. This will boot your phone into bootloader mode.
- In the bootloader mode, press Volume down button twice to highlight Recovery mode and press the Power button to select it.
- Once in the TWRP recovery, select Install and navigate to the TWRP RC1 zip file downloaded earlier. Swipe to flash it. Go back to the main menu, select Reboot>Recovery
- This should reboot your device to TWRP RC1 recovery. Select Wipe>Advanced Wipe and wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, and data. Do not wipe system.
- Flash the ROM and then the TWRP RC1 zip again.
- Reboot.
The Gapps are already baked into the ROM for this version but the developer says this might change in the future. As usual, the first boot might take a while so be patient. Refer to the source link for more information.
