Call me crazy but since in the 0.07 build you can't disable s2w you can only select 4 different options via the EX kernel app. the little power button icon next to the setting for this feature does nothing
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
The toggle is working for me on the .07 build.

Edit: Changing the Speaker gain in the Sound setting doesn't stick for some reason, once you leave the sound tab it reverts back to 0. Also, should changing it to a negative value make it louder or quieter?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hutzdani:
Ah i solved it, turns out some of the functions have a disable button and some you just untick all the sweep options, guess its just an inconstancy in the menus in the app

anyone else getting issues android pay with this kernel even with this kernel it says I can't use it... thoughts?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Assuming you are not rooted. right?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
No I am.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Then AP will not work. If you unroot it will, you can be unlocked and use elementalx but you cant be rooted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
wow wicked weak on googles part.. Xposed needs to come out with TWRP so I can use root hide

Do You know if the error you'd get would still be.... android pay can't be used as it is unable to verify your software. for if it noticed root?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Are the sound settings sticking for anyone or is it just me having the issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
I set speaker gain to +8, went out of EXKM and back in and it is now -8.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Thanks for the information, no matter what I set it to once I change tabs or leave the app the sound settings go back to 0.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
On version 0.07?

There are a lot of things that still need work for the audio mods. Please be very specific about the circumstances that lead to resets.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Actually, how are you setting it to +8? That shouldn't be possible, the volume can only be reduced.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
NDE63X firmware, using version .07. When I change any of the audio sliders then change tabs in the app or exit the app the audio sliders return to their original location. Should a negative gain value increase the volume, that's what it does for me but the settings don't stick. The speaker gain goes from -10 to +20 with negative values being louder than positive.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
The slider in EXMK under "Sound". Has the option "Speaker Gain".
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] firewave:
No issue so f(l)ar. Smooth and clean. Gesture works as expected. Android Pay works now.

Loved elemental x on my 6P, can't wait to use it here!

Is there any battery life impact on the tap2wake or other negatives? I'm wondering why they left it off of the stock kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] morpheousrx:
Paid for your app and love your Kernel development on my 6P... Can't wait to get some OC'ing love on this monster

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ChrisJ951:
Do you know if high brightness mode will be possible the same way it was on the nexus 6p?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stripeyhorse:
working great on Pixel XL Australian model. loving the sweep up to wake but i cant seem to get sweep left to work. Anyway. Cant wait to see what more this phone can do with kernels.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guaneet:
Sweep from the right side of nav bar to the left side when the screen is on. One edge to the other. Useful when the phone is sitting on a surface
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Yes, should be possible.

That's exactly why I can't live without these features (fingerprint being on the back and all).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dethknite:
Are you aware of anything that would make this kernel soft brick a pixel if flashed? I only ask as I noticed the Sharkey kernel is built for marlin/sailfish and appears to be compatible.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ajshal:
Thanka
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I would have to make a different image for the smaller Pixel. Don't flash this one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizonic:
Can we expect your awesome kernel for the pixel soon? :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ker~Man:
Already been answered. Yes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizonic:
Ohh... I am sorry! Haven't seen the post before.

Great news! Can't wait for testing the pixel one :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SysAdmNj:
This will prevent ota's wont it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ingenium13:
I'm not sure how fastboot handles the dual system partitions on the Pixel. I'm guessing it updates both at once, in which case yes if you flash it then it will prevent OTAs until you flash the stock boot image.

Since I rarely reboot my phone, for now I just used "fastboot boot" to boot this kernel leaving the stock boot intact. It worked to add cards to Android Pay. Swipe to wake works, but double tap to wake doesn't (I never use either, but tested for the sake of testing).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] shizonic:
When can we expect a build for the pixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
When it's ready... Please don't ask for ETA
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
Does this kernel work for Verizon pixel xl?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] apascual89:
Yes it does.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Oh, I totally forgot, you guys don't have the latest exkm update yet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
I've never had a fully unlocked bootloader on a phone until now. What exactly would this do and shouldn't I wait for a custom recovery to be released first?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] khaytsus:
Unlock your bootloader correctly so you can use fastboot and no worries.. if something goes tits up, just reflash stock rom bits until you fix it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
DONT EVER RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER... Trust me on this, I bricked my device and thank god for devs here on XDA Pixel & [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] I was able to recover barely.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
I did it the right way. I've never flashed any custom stuff though via fastboot, always through twrp back in the day. Since we don't have that yet is it still ok to flash stuff?

Back to my original question though, what exactly does a custom kernel do? I understand these are pretty standard stuff I should know already, just trying to get a refresher course on everything so I don't brick my phone from doing something straight up dumb.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] superchilpil:
Just a heads up, with your bootloader unlocked Android pay will not work at all.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
Flar, is there any chance of a gain boost for Bluetooth in your upcoming audio mods? I realize it's not something very easy.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] v2.2v:
I thought it was root that prevented AP to work. You can have an unlocked bootloader but you can't root for AP to work. Correct me if I'm wrong
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
That's how it was on the Samsung devices I used to crack.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
No now being unlocked makes safety net fail. You can run this kernel and not root and still pass. But if you are on stock kernel and unlocked AP breaks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
Does the OTA fail with this kernel? I forget. I have an ota I can take. Usually sideload it, but I left my computer at work and I'm going to skip it if I have to reflash this kernel until I have my mac back.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thefairlady350z:
-please ignore-
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] superchilpil:
With the newest update of AP it reads if the bootloader has been unlocked and if so prevents you from using it.

https://www.google.com/amp/amp.andr...u-unlock-your-bootloader-and-thats-good-thing

There are workarounds but it won't be long until their patched.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
The latest update for the kernel is 0.07. Would I change this in the cmd that I push through via Fastboot? The one at the beginning of the post is 0.05.img.

Also, is there a way to see a list of settings for this Kernel? Just flashed it, and sweep to wake works beautifully. I'd like to see about being able to enable that or disable it to allow for DT2W. Can't seem to find a settings bit for it though. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] krypto1300:
Yes, change the name to 07 and download the EX kernel manager app from the play store.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MontAlbert:
Yes we do
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Oh? I never tried it. Put in my CommBank card and said not supported. So went back to CommBank app. Hahaha
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MontAlbert:
Yeah. I never used it either...mostly because it was too much of a pain with root etc..

http://ausdroid.net/tag/android-pay/

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

There is a flag in the kernel that can be turned off, which flar has done, that makes Android pay default to working no matter the bootloader.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] duminduweera:
We do have Android pay here in Australia :P, but other tap and pay apps can work with root as you said :)

I think Android pay is a big thing in US, because they dont have contactless debit/credit cards like we do here in Australia.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anthony825:
Any idea if there's a way for this kernel to fix the Bluetooth / radio issues I've been having? Ever since the root every morning I've had to restart my phone to be able to call out, and my bluetooth hasn't worked in my car.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Isyutaru:
Is there a way to access the gain controls in the Kernel Auditor app? I can't find anything in there. I am guessing it is not supported by that app but maybe there is a workaround?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The settings are all in /sys/kernel/sound_control

I just pushed an update to EX Kernel Manager to support all the new sound settings (version 2.94). It should be in teh Play Store soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Thanks as always for the quick updates to both kernel and app. I'm digging the new circle app on pixel :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
After flashing this kernel and then looking at the kernel version what should it say?

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Just want to make sure this actually flashed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
Here is what is should look like....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] krypto1300:
For some reason I'm unable to turn off S2W. It says off on boot in the gestures, but is always on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Tap on sweep to wake and uncheck up and hit apply on boot :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] krypto1300:
That's what I was looking for. Thanks :svetius:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Is anyone on V for security update using this kernel with root....I spent half the day getting my phone back on and set up and want to make sure I don't run into being stuck on splash screen and having to set up my phone again if I flash this......man I need twrp. Also I have wetas mods on here (audio and center clock). Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] speaker gain says 0dB and I cannot slide it up more to make it louder, is this normal?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jaythenut:
Same here
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Yes, it's normal. You can only reduce it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Thanks for the response mate.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jwenthold:
Yes, it worked for me. Installed kernel, rebooted, rebooted into bootloader, flashed latest boot to root image, and was good. Followed the instructions in the op
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Did not work for me

I am now stuck in a boot loop after following the op and trying to reroot?

Any ideas ? Anyone have stock kernel I can flash?

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Ok guys so after installing V and also rerooting. I attempted to flash elemental which said it passed however now I am stuck in a boot loop. Is there anyway I can just install the boot image or something else to get me back up and running? I do not want to spend 6 hours resetting up my phone. I know now I will not flash another kernel until we have TWRP this is the second boot loop I have obtained from flashing kernels.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] david.degraw54:
You should include a copy of what exactly you typed into the command prompt and what came out. I've flashed multiple kernels and rooted after and haven't had a single problem as I'm following the instructions. Also side loaded the OTA (V) then flashed kernel and re-rooted still with no issues.

You need to

fastboot flash boot_a EX-PXL-0.07.img

( Check your active slot in bootloader before flashing, if it says active slot is b change the command accordingly.)

Afterwards just run

fastboot boot boot-to-root.img

Using latest SuperSU of course.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Flashed this to a T

I flashed this to a T with no luck constant boot loop I believe the mods might be casuing this it automatically sends me back to recovery. I made sure it was slot b which it says it is on my bootloader. Anyway I can get back up and running without taking the ota again and starting all over?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
I just sideloaded the x OTA update. Had to flash the stock kernel first as the OTA failed without it. Someone asked for the stock kernel so here's the boot.img I used from the x update.

Edit: had to compress it because the largest .img file you can upload is 8mb. .zip limit is 20 and it's 18.9 compressed. should be able to unzip it and flash.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I have no idea why you guys run into so many problems.

I've flashed kernels and rooted nearly a hundred times, no issues.

I also applied the OTA, first I flashed the stock boot.img and then the OTA applied with no problems.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
There must be something conflicting with the mods or from flashing v and then kernel and then boot. There are quite a few of us having problems with it and root as we all know is not quite stable. I will wait for TWRP before I flash any kernel again. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] david.degraw54:
Switched back to EX from fk, wanted to give fk a try. I was missing the wake gestures and also had an issue with my phone not going into deep sleep. I'm on 0.07 now and deep sleep is working fine. Battery life is insane. I'm at 53% right now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] krypto1300:
I've not had a single issue either. Verizon unlocked DePixel8, EX kernel and root. I've done it a few times already. Flash all image and OTA method.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
Bought your app. Great kernel. One issue i came across was the sweep2sleep (sweep right) doesn't work. The sweep left works fine though. Sorry if someone else brought it up. I just skimmed through and i didn't see it. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Did you turn sweep right on?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
How I got Elmental07 + V3 root on my "V" image.

Flash-all.bat to restore to stock.

Boot up & setup Google account.

Flash V3 root.

Boot up and verify root.

Flash ElementalX.07.

Boot up and verify kernel installed.

Flash V3 root.

Voila, done.

My original attempt was a flash-all of "V" image, then install elementalX.07, then reboot bootloader, then install V3 root. What it says to do in the OP. And it never booted to the OS on that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Anyone running VomerTweaks with this kernel?

It is not supported offically, however, others have good results pairing with this kernel on the 6P.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
I did and and with sweep left and right neither works
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
All works for me
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
are you on X?

should i try reflashing the kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Doesn't matter what build it is. Reflashing won't help either, unless you don't actually have ElementalX installed.

This is one of those things that's either on or off. You might not be sweeping in the exact right spot.

The easiest way to enable your settings and check their status is with EX Kernel Manager.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
Yeah i have Ex installed. Sweep to left works but not right. I have EX Kernel Manager. I have tried both just sweep right and both right and left. Sweep left works fine but right doesn't work at all.

Whats the exact spot? i tried everywhere on the bar from the right side.

Like it said left works fine with no issues.

I turned on the active on boot symbol and reboot but still not working

Okay, i figured it out. It was another app i had installed causing it not to work. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
If makes you feel any better I have no problems. I am on X and .07 with root and zero issues.

However you read the SuperSU thread there are tons of complaints of unexplained rotating dots and never complete the boot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] holla420:
Only problem I've had on this kernel has been battery drain. Other than that it's been golden.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
The only battery drain I got was from that app: Ambient Tuner.

It would always wake up in my pocket and do crazy ass stuff like call people and turn the flashlight on.

Once I removed that my battery life and performance expectations of Elemental X were met 110%

-Scott
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] holla420:
AnTuTu was my rogue app. It went crazy. Went to bed with 100% woke up to 21%. Went back to stock and everything was golden.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
For those having any flashing issues or crazy non boot issues...

Use these binaries... They are the absolute latest from the Android SDK

ADB and Fastboot API 25

This did resolve the problem for atleast one person so far...

Good luck and post your results!

-Scott
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I think the issue is the wrong SDK version (too old). I now have proved this theory multiple times. See my prior post for latest SDK release.

I hope people will use it and it cut back on headaches for everyone :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thefairlady350z:
I also flashed the stock boot.img but the OTA still won't go through. Frustrating. I flashed your kernel to boot_a when I was suppose to flash it to boot_b, and I wonder if it has anything to do with that...

EDIT: Just tried to flash both boot slots to stock boot.img, still doesn't work *flips table*

EDIT 2: I just say f it and updated the stock firmware through bootloader. Screw recovery/sideload.

Tried it, didn't work here either.

Biggest headache here for some reason command prompt is not able to detect the phone anymore while in recovery so can't get sideload to work. %)^&@$(&%^@&^$(@&
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] piccit:
If you've already gone through the trouble of plugging your phone into a computer, there really isn't much of a difference btw sideloading the OTA and flashing the whole new factory image. Just remember to remove the wipe parameter.

That being said, make sure your put the phone in sideload mode before trying to detect it in adb and check your PCs drivers
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] khaytsus:
What "mods" do you keep referring to??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Watta mods audio and 3minit/center clock
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dablitzkrieg:
Am I missing something? What is side load mode? Don't you side load from recovery?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
I'm finding that not specifying a boot partition is the best way to go. The bootloader knows which partition is active and will always flash to the active partition (correct me if I am wrong, plz.)

This is my bat file:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot EX-PXL-0.07.img
fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] khaytsus:
Tried without such junk? Sounds like xposed... Hacks that break random things.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
TIP:

If you have ElementalX with the high brightness widget set to auto and then start having problems with the display sticking at 110% brightness after flashing a Substratum theme (not yet fully working), then make sure you turn it off. Reboot. Then turn it back to auto again.

Substratum is at fault here I'm sure.
