I just wanted you to know, if someone is in the same situation.

I tried download the boot.img directly from google and flashed it it worked now i'm back to stock firmware and unrooted. I'm ready for google support lol.

Exact command : fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

(just be sure that your boot active partition is a by checking in the fastboot screen of your phone.)

Double Tap to Wake isn't working for me after enabling with the ElementalX app. I double checked the kernel in About and it says: 3.18.31-ElementalX-0.05; it continues to say that after reboot too. Also, in the ElementalX app, when I click on ElementalX from the side menu it shows the correct install kernel but then says "Could not find compatible version". What am I missing here?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nadiros:
Are you rooted, and do you have the gesture set to stick through a reboot?

Don't worry about the "no compatible version" part
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] epsix:
I just swipe up to Wake the phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mestguy182:
So... I thought the button to set it on at boot was the button to turn the whole thing on. I'm not a smart man. Thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] khaytsus:
Hmm, I thought I'd like swipe to wake, but I keep hearing my phone beep and feel it vibrate in my pocket.. waking up :/ Ah well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Maybe thin pockets? I enable only sweep2wake up (not all directions and not double tap) and don't find it wakes up very easily in my pockets, basically never.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Try finding using a proximity wakeup app so it won't wakeup if proximity is covered.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The Wake Gestures app could do that. It should work, but I haven't tested it specifically for Android 7.1.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mightym83:
So a bit confused, I have read android pay can work with an unlocked bootloader and with the elementalx kernal. But I have also read that rooting device makes android pay not work. So the question is why in the installation it makes us use the root to boot step?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Just don't do the root part of it if you want AP to continue to work with this kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JayCizzo:
I have my unlock method set to swipe. When using sweep to wake sometimes it goes to the lockscreen and sometimes it goes right to the home screen. Any rhyme or reason to this? Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
If you start low enough, it swipes away the lock screen at the same time it turns on the screen.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] khaytsus:
Huh, this is weird.. I"m beginning to think this is a bug in the Pixel/7.1/whatever, as I had just booted your kernel to try it out and it was driving me nuts beeping and buzzing in my pocket yet I couldn't find any reason for it, so I was thinking it was slide to wake etc doing it. So I rebooted.. And it kept happening. So of course, not related to your kernel at all. Sorry :(

I'm thinking it might be something with having a voice mail and/or Wear. I finally noticed the following... I'd get a voicemail notification on my watch, I clear it, its gone.. Later, phone would beep+buzz, and my watch would light up for a second. If I looked, the voicemail notification on the watch was back. I've listened and deleted the VM now, and I'll see today if it keeps happening, but it smells like a bug somewhere in 7.1 or Android Wear, never had this happen on my previous phone (LG G2, 4.4.4). Seems it might be rather something odd related to having a VM notification or Wear. I'm thinking perhaps Wear is getting dozed, wakes up, alerts me. But not sure why it's beep/buzzing on the phone, as the VM notification doesn't re-appear there. Someone on Reddit said their phone was doing something similar, I'll have to dig that up and see if anything matches up.

But specific to your question about thin pockets; I did have that issue on my LG G2 (screen always towards my leg for protection) so I had Tasker have Secure Settings do a screen lock (Just in case it wasn't locked for some reason) if upside down and proximity close, so that mostly fixed that for me on that phone. So yeah, that is a thing for sure (leg to wake the phone). If this doesn't happen today, I'll re-boot your kernel again and see what happens, but I'm 99% sure it's not the kernel.

Will I still get OTA's with a modified kernal?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
That I'm not sure about, until one is rolled out I guess we may not know

is that SOUND MOD work during a phone call ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] resynx:
Someone said their OTA failed with just root. So I'd think a custom kernel would make it fail too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
OTAs will probably fail, but what does it matter? Just download the factory image and flash the updates.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mightym83:
"OTAs will probably fail, but what does it matter? Just download the factory image and flash the updates."

True! Unrelated to this but anyone know that without root I can't have access to high brightness mode?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Sorry to bother you over something so trivial. Regarding the NTFS r/w ability with your kernel... Does this help alleviate the 4 GB file size limit with the device storage? I was reading a thread on Reddit and found that people are only able to take a 4k video thst last 12:57 ,no longer. This seems pretty dumb all things considered. If not, is there any way to work around this? Thanks in advance for your time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evocalante:
Hey guys just a quick question. I looked through the thread and searched but couldn't find anyone with the same problem. I'm having trouble with my headphone settings but sticking. I set it to 5db but after five minutes or less it resets again. Anyone having the same problem? I'm using flar's app.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] evocalante:
Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lyall29:
You have to download the factory image and extract the file. Once you do that there will be a few .img files and one .zip in the file that you extracted. Now you have to extract the .zip folder and you will see the boot.img, which is the kernel you are searching for.

Download the system image here...https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thorpe24:
Ah so if you want Android pay to work you basically lose root. Hmm, but without root I don't get the add blocking or other things/apps I have. Honestly it's been a crap shoot whether AP worked or not when I went to use it. It's convenient when it works but frustrating when it doesn't. I'll probably stay rooted for now. Hopefully a workaround comes out eventually.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gettingerr:
Cannot get Elemental Kernel to flash on the new X update. I thought I had it but after installing the update again to fix a bootloop, reflashing, and re boot to rooting, it keeps going to the base kernel.

EDIT: I am an idiot and didn't realize when I ran the update a second time, my boot slot switched back to slot_b. I have it up and running now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I don't see the appeal of Android Pay. We don't have it in Canada, but we have Apple Pay, and I've been held up in the checkout line several times by people fiddling with their iPhones. It's annoying, especially since Canadians can do tap to pay with credit cards. I just don't see any advantage over carrying a credit card.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I haven't updated yet, and new source hasn't been pushed yet (probably tomorrow). I'll check it out then.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gettingerr:
I updated my post. I was flashing to the wrong boot slot because I got turned around when I reloaded the update. Kernel is working great on X variant of the OTA. All seems to be working correctly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jasoraso:
There are 2 reasons why I like Anroid Pay:

1 - often times it is LOTS faster than credit cards/debit cards - especially compared to the chip enabled cards - when it works properly. I get a morning beverage at the local convenience store - Android Pay works great there (unless the phone has an issue due to the bootloader/root issues where a workaround suddenly quits working). However, if the store doesn't have it set up properly, or the user doesn't know how to use it (where their NFC chip is located in their phone etc), or don't unlock their phone security properly (not an issue with fingerprint) then there can be issues. The places I use it - I am always faster than using a credit card.

2 - when I go for a run or bike ride, I often want to just carry my phone for music/gps tracking - many times I've stopped in to buy a water bottle or gatorade etc. and having android pay has been very useful.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
I typically keep my wallet in my car a lot (or worse... Forget it) but every store that has those verifone card swipes accepts Android pay. It's not really posted anywhere, but those terminals accept it. Liquor store, supermarket, pharmacy, liquor store...... They all take it. I'd say 90% of the places I shop take it. I pretty much use my credit card for all purchases for the reward points so I keep my debit and credit card on android pay. I've been hit by a skimmer before by swiping so I feel this is as secure as the chip. Glad to have it back. For me root it unnecessary anymore for my usage. Lots of cool toys but at the end of the day, all I need are the ability to tether my UDP and a custom recovery for backups.... And Google is getting much better in that department.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nickspiker:
Really like everything in this kernel!

But... I don't know the first thing about editing my own kernel and don't want to spend 4 days twiddling through notes, compilers, etc. and I would like to get my hall sensor to stop turning on/off my phone when near a magnet. I found the line of code, I think, that controls it, any chance of implementing it?

/sys/module/lid/parameters/lid_enabled

Thank you!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I'll have a look. The hall sensor is usually not controlled by the kernel on Google phones, but it is controlled by a kernel driver on a lot of HTC phones. This phone has a lot of HTC stuff in it, so it might be possible.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
In Canada we have tap to pay credit cards and bank cards which are probably faster than Android pay/apple pay so I can see why they've delayed bringing it here.

Easier to tap my bank card than get my phone out, unlock, tap Android pay, enter code, etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
Me neither, and I am in the US. Android pay has just not caught on unless you go to McDonalds... But anyways...

Been using 0.05 since it was released and LOVE it!

Great kernel! You did a fantastic job (especially for a device with no TWRP).

Now if you could just clock it up a bit :fingers-crossed:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 318sugarhill:
Not true at all many places have it and don't even know it. All those verifone card terminals accept tap to pay.

Sorry, i'm new to this kind of thing. I don't see how to access these functions. Are they automatically implemented? The only one that i seem to find to work is S2W. How do i enable DT2W, Sweep2sleep? Where do i go to Adjust or disable vibration? High Brightness Mode can't find this either or Option to disable fsync. Thanks.

Also, i thought Android pay was suppose to work with this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
If you want to adjust kernel settings you need root and a kernel managing app. I recommend ex kernel manager

Whats the benefit of this kernel if i don't root then?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gone_bush:
My Pixel XL is showing that the current slot (is that the correct term?) is A.

I've looked but can't find how to set it to B. If that is possible, why can't I:,

fastboot flash boot_b EX-PXL-0.05.img
fastboot boot boot_b boot-to-root.img
change to slot B
reboot

Then, if it all goes pear-shaped, just switch back to slot A - no need to flash the stock image.

EDIT: just found --set-active=?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
Interesting, i'll try to keep a look out. I've never used Android, Samsung, or Apple pay before. According to Android pay the only places near me that i can use it is at; KFC, McDonald's, Petco, Subway, Walgreens, Office depot. Maybe if there was a Best Buy that was less than 2 hours from me i would consider it, but if that's my selection i don't think it's worth messing with.

Sweep to wake is enabled by default and is a feature I honestly can't live without.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Zeroflucks:
I do like that feature. I came from a LG G3 and ever since i got this phone i missed the double tap to wake. Is there anything else besides that bypass to use android pay that doesn't require root? Not sure why i'm asking. I just wanted to try this kernel and i didn't expect running a simple command is all it took to be rooted. I was going to try android pay, but i looked at their site and only a few places even support that option. Well, since i'm rooted i guess i'll look around and see what i can do with it i suppose. You have any suggestions?

Just got 7.1 update should I download and install , I'm u locked on a Verizon pixel rooted and have custom kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thorpe24:
I know that but what's weird is there have been times where Android pay works just fine and other times where it won't go through. At that point I'd rather just use my card to save time since it ends up being like a 50/50 on whether it works. Not sure if because I mainly used it with an amex but it started making it where the reader would say chip not inserted or some **** so I'd have to pull out my amex. It's not a big deal and honestly it's great when it works but until a better AdBlock comes around that doesn't require root, and some sort of ambient display or screen off wake is added natively I'll be staying with root and this kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ednometry:
So I clean flashed the new NDE63X build and then set it up but flashing the kernel yet again caused my sdcard to wipe itself. Could it be due to encryption starting on the sd card partition? I know you said it's not the kernel, I'm just trying to figure out where the issue is so I can avoid it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
SO what exactly did you do? What commands. How did flash the new build? As stated before flashing the kernel does not wipe your data partition.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scloutkst:
Did you flash the OTA or full firmware image? OTA does not wipe. Full image wipes your phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] piccit:
Some data wipes could be encryption. Word is that the European phones came unencrypted but I'm assuming Ex is based on the US kernel (which I'm guessing forces encryption). But of course that wouldn't affect phones that were already encrypted (which I'm assuming the X version, which is vzw, was)

Edit: nevermind, turning ON encryption wouldn't wipe existing data
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ednometry:
I flashed the phone in fastboot. I flashed each part of the package individually because I kept getting errors, my windows pc returned "error: failed to load 'image-marlin-nde63x.zip': Not enough space" when I ran the bat file, my mac throws an "FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn't exist)" but it atleast seems to complete some of the flash. In anycase I manually flashed every partition on the phone, except userdata which I formatted. I set up the phone with root, rebooted to the bootloader to flash the kernel and then did the boot to root thing and boom... colored rings on a black background... extra long boot and the sd card wiped again... I'm all good now and will be until next month or until something important to me changes on this Kernel. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Next time just sideload the OTA zip in recovery, boot to bootloader and flash kernel and boot the root boot-to-root.img and enjoy
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ednometry:
Maybe, but I wanted to start over since I was having so many little issues with root and everything. Now though I have 99% of the phone I envisioned when I bought the Pixel XL so I am pretty happy.

Update!!

Version 0.07

Sound control is updated to add earpiece, mic and speaker controls and to fix problems with gain resetting. Hopefully I covered every scenario. Thanks to [MENTION=2760454]chdloc[/MENTION] for guidance.

I need to update EXKM for full sound control. It will have gain control for main speaker, earpiece speaker, mic, analog and digital headphone gain, plus a toggle for stereo mode if you are using [MENTION=2760454]chdloc[/MENTION] dual speaker mod.

I would like to know if you could just switch between the 2 as well. I'm not sure if you can. Haven't been able to find it anywhere. If you find out be sure to let me know. From my understanding it automatically switches between the 2 everytime you flash a new update. I think it's more of a fail safe feature. Just in case of a failure to flash correctly the phone will revert back to the other slot.

Yes, I did find that after I posted.

But what about the general idea?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] piccit:
What's your use case here? Trying to pseudo dual boot kernel/system versions? If so, just try it with Ex and stock (I've no idea how system works, not sure if there are two partitions that follow boot slot or what)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gone_bush:
Isn't the whole reason behind having two slots is to have two versions of the software so that you can easily switch between them?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Yes you can just switch between the two. I rolled back to pre ota when I was having an issues just by setting the active boot to the other one. You can also run two different kernels if you want. I hope once twrp comes out you can keep one side non rooted and use Android pay and then switch to the rooted side when you are done. Just an idea.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Sounds like a PITA. Go to pay for something.. hang on *boot twrp* change partition *reboot* ... There we go, *tap*
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Well yes obviously it's not the best way but at least they can work I hope there's other work arounds one day. Could always flash a kernel and unroot that's just as bad.
