I have definitely noticed an issue with the sound with the elementalx application.

Problem: when using the app the speakers no longer work

Kernel and app version: latest

Testing methodology:

1.) noticed sound turning off on speakers after root access granted to application.

2.) tested both sound settings and miscellaneous "high quality audio mode" enabled and disabled

-result no change in working after testing multiple times including restarts in between.

3.) uninstalled application and restarting: sound works again.

4.) reinstalled application issue back again

5.) removed app and restarted, once again sound works.

Edit: specifically I have noticed that the sound works on apps that have been in use BEFORE the application initialize s.. In example my keyboard sound still works as does the android system sounds(before restart) however when I open Spotify or YouTube neither work and I had neither open beforehand. Going to restart now and see if anything changes.

Update : sound worked until root message came up saying that elementalx was granted root permissions.

Logcat: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CdVPnxahL11NoTcuv-divpTrVTUJ-CxnnQm0j8Wr2bw/edit?usp=drivesdk

Edit 2: for clarification the only sound that doesn't work is the physical speaker on the phone. Headphone jack and Bluetooth sound work just fine.

Hello flar2,

Thank you for your awesome kernel.

Is there any chance to block this kernel wakelock shown here: https://imgur.com/tSJjYBj

I couldn't manage to find any app to block this wakelock, it's keeping my device awake all the time.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
I second this. I was having this issue on 3.04 with the April and May update. I've uninstalled the EX Kernel Manager App and I haven't had a problem since. I even attempted to go back to default settings and still had the issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lafester:
No problems here on p with 4.02.

Only been a day though so we'll see.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I can't reproduce this. Plus, I still use this phone every day as my main phone, so I would have noticed a problem. I would wipe EXKM data to make sure it's not setting your speaker volume to something very low. It sounds like that's what's happening.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xFirefly93:
Use the wakelock block(er) inside EXKM.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
We were actually talking about this in another thread and it could potentially be a hardware issue with the USB port
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I have noticed that as long as I do not increase the headphone digital volume its just fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] thetrangdam:
Thank you.

I thought so too, after doing factory reset & rom flashing a few times

but the problem persists, I finally accepted it as a hardware flaw,

and have a repair shop replace the daughterboard as well as the charging ribbon cable (It was burnt).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
It was burnt!? Wow, interesting
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daddylonglegs:
Hello! I see ElementalX supports CIFS, but how do I enable it? I've been googling for over an hour and can't find anything that states how to enable cifs support
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] luckylui:
Have you tried the ElementalX apk on Google market?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] daddylonglegs:
Yeah. I have it. Is there an option somewhere in there to enable cifs?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Not in EXKM.

I'm not sure how to use cifs on Android, I think there might be some selinux restrictions.

I'm currently running DP 3 with v4.02 without problems. But it's probably a good idea to wait for a kernel update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yusuo:
Crashed again, logcat attached
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Logcats don't have any info about kernel crashes. You would need to send the contents of /sys/fs/pstore

However, since this phone is my daily driver and all patches are well tested, I am quite certain that this kernel is 100% stable. Your crash is likely caused by something else.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Update!!

Update for latest Android P.

Also, you no longer need to reflash Magisk after the kernel.

However, I don't have the latest P, so this is not tested.

Android P Beta (Preview 3)

ElementalX-P-4.03

Changes:

-P preview 3 update

-prevent annoying message at startup

-detect root so you don't have to reflash
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sybaek:
I was able to flash it on top of my DP3 install and successfully upgraded P-4.02 to P-4.03 without any problems.

I can confirm no more annoying start up message and no loss of magisk root. :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] phantasm714:
Thanks! Can this be flashed on an 8.1 ROM? (PixelDust to be specific)

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
With EX Kernel Manager version 3.61 you will see a change on the update screen.

If your phone is rooted, instead of "Express" and "Custom" you will now see "Auto Flash" and "Download Zip"

If you select "Auto Flash" it will download and directly flash the latest kernel without the need to go to recovery. Root will be preserved, as will your overclock/underclock settings.

If you select "Download Zip" it will download the AROMA installer version to be flashed in recovery.

Looking through the posts, I cannot find the update log for 3.08? It could be a version change and nothing more.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I built it, and then decided to make more changes. Some people might have got it through the app, but it was only out for a few hours.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
It still shows 3.0.8 in the 3.0.9 Aroma installer, FYI.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dabbler77:
Hi - Im running 8.1 / June 18 on Pixel XL. I really wanted to use Elemental X, however after installing the touch screen is all messed up. I go back to stock kernal and its fine - can any one shed any light on why this maybe?

My XL is rooted with Magisk (stock bootloader, recovery etc)

I hope theres a solution. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] El_Saam:
Android P developer preview 4 with elementalx 4.05 the screen turns off sometimes by itself when touching the screen. In photos this happens when you swipe burst pictures.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Do you have SW enabled? If so, maybe you are inadvertently triggering it. Otherwise, I don't see how it would be kernel related.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] El_Saam:
So i got the EX Kernel Manager and figured out that it's Swipe 2 Sleep. It triggers anywhere at the bottom 20% of the screen. Shouldn't it work only on the navbar? I tried changing screen size and it didn't make any difference. This didn't happen on DP3 (elementalx 4.03).

Edit: I have accidentally installed Sailfish image.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dkirbyechs:
Bootloop - 3.09 / Pixel Sailfish

Can't find a way to install from 3.07 without getting a bootloop.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
That's odd. Try this:

- Flash stock boot.img (or the one from your ROM) via fastboot

- Boot TWRP and flash the TWRP installer

- Flash Magisk (if applicable)

- Flash EX kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] roirraW "edor" ehT:
S2S is only working at the very bottom of the navbar for me. I tried immediately above the bar, and at the top of the bar, and couldn't get it to trigger. Strange that it does for you.

https://i.imgur.com/k60AtH5.png https://i.imgur.com/ntsnjlh.png (I tried that img tag but it made the images huge af)

what do I do? I already tried the auto flash it through the EX manager app. still on the june patch with that update message.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The patch level shown in system settings is for the Android system, not the kernel. You need to flash the latest system image to change that.

There are security patches for Android and there are security patches for the kernel.

Sometimes I need a push in the right direction.(I get stuck on things without exploring other options) Thank you.

I'm on RR with magisk, I just tried to flash 3.09 from twrp and I got a bootloop. I will do this and report soon.

Does the slot youre on matter?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] El_Saam:
So I got it. I accidentally installed Sailfish image instead of Marlin. Whoops. No wonder why the dpi is smaller than usual.

Pixel XL, official 8/7 Lineage OS, Magisk 16.7.

Attempted to install 3.09 via TWRP 3.2.2-0 (no issues before), but rebooting to system results in bootlooping.

I can boot into TWRP and bootloader just fine.

Edit: Added contents of /sys/fs/pstore
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LeMoise:
If this is my first time installing the kernel can I just boot to twrp and install it? Without having to worry about my magisk root or installing twrp?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DonQuixote77:
Is anyone finding that the Sweep 2 Sleep across the bottom of the screen is interfering with the multitalking gesture now implemented in Pie? I am looking for an alternative to turn off the screen, and EX has been good to me in the past, but I'm wondering about conflicts with the new gesture navigation. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there any other way built into the kernel to accomplish this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I hate the new gesture navigation so I use the old navbar. The only option to keep using sweep2sleep with gestures is to move it to a different part of the screen, but I'm not sure where would be a good spot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] maxche:
I'm using it with gesture navigation with no problem since P beta
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DonQuixote77:
Maybe either sweep or double-tap on the status bar?

I'll give it a shot then.

The issue for me is that normally I use Nova Launcher, where I can dt2s with root. However, since Nova doesn't have the same level of integration as the Pixel Launcher with the new recents, I find myself using it over Nova. I know there are some apps out there to turn screen off with root, but I'm a bit paranoid and don't really know of any legit apps that I can trust.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DonQuixote77:
[MENTION=4775160]maxche[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] thanks for your help guys. As Maxche suggested, it works fine without conflicts. As long as you use "sweep left", since the multi-taking gesture is to "swipe-right".

Cheers!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xmoox:
Just wanted to chime in. You can turn the screen off with accessibility options. I found an app called "custom navigation bar". It needed an ADB command ran and granted access to accessibility and it allows the screen to be turned off without root by adding a button to the nav bar. Nova launcher also allows you to turn off the screen without root using the accessibility commands in Pie.

Maybe this info will help people.

what about fast usb charging feature?? I see it should have :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sb1893:
I just installed this kernel and so far so good. The one issue I have is that I can't seem to get USB Rapid (Fast) charging to work. With the USB Fast charge option enabled in Miscellaneous settings of EXKM (and set to run at boot), I do not get the "Rapid Charging" indicator when charging off USB charging port from my powerstrip. I have always been able to get Rapid Charging from this port using the same cable with the Stock kernel. Rapid charging with the standard Pixel XL charger works fine. I did verify that it is more than just a failure to display the Rapid Charging indicator. As my time to full from USB is 1 hr 6 min (from 65%) and from the stock charger/power brick time to full is 32 min (from 67%).

Any suggestions or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
It's a bug in Pie, unfortunately. Google knows about it and it's supposed to be fixed soon. The USB Fast Charge option in EXKM is not related. That's for charging faster when connected to a PC USB port.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sb1893:
Thanks for the response, but I'm a bit confused. I just installed ElementalX this morning. Earlier today, on Pie (Sept release), I was getting Rapid Charging with both the stock charger and USB Cable to my powerstrip...but with the ElementalX kernel - I only receive Rapid Charging with the Stock Charger but NOT with the USB Cable to my powerstrip...

So - it would seem to be kernel related based on my experience. I'm going to revert back to the stock kernel real quick and verify....thanks.

Edit: I stand corrected. I am not getting Rapid Charging with the stock kernel either. Must have been imagining things this morning. My apologies. I guess we wait for Google to push a fix - hopefully in October.

Is anyone having issues with flar's high brightness mode app and this kernel on Pie? I'm on the latest elementalx kernel, but even the prior one I had inconsistent auto activation. The widget double tap activation works fine, but the automatic activation either doesn't work or makes the screen blink bright/dim.

I've made sure it's not being battery optimized, cleared data, reinstalled, turned off androids adaptive brightness to no avail. I'm using the latest 17.1 magisk for root and permissions there are all good.

I have a problem with elementary x in pixel xl, when putting the minimum frequency for example to 384, it does not change it stays in 307 .. any solution or is it a bug ??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I somehow missed that.

What exactly is going on? I tested HBM this morning and it was working properly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Let me know how I can help with magisk logs, logcat, or whatever... In essence the manual switch in app or with the widget functions properly, but the automatic fails to trigger on or off. So if I walk in to the bright sun previously it would brighten my screen, and walk back in it would turn off. If I manually brighten it outside with the widget, then double tap to turn on automatic, it won't dim when going back indoors. I've reset the app settings, installed uninstalled, adjusted the sensitivity to no avail. On September pie, and September elementalx.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I can't reproduce that. Auto mode works fine for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Thank you for the response. As a caveat I am able to adjust the sensitivity slider way down, then back up in the app and have it work, but when I'm out of the app letting it do it automatically I have issues.

I will see if I can catch it with a log or something. Thanks again.

Dear Aaron,

Nearly all people on xda are flashaholics geeks etc and are a minority of the population. We spend so much time for this stuff where other people just think we are crazy and it's a waste of time. But how valuable and awesome your work can be, can be seen when your kernel helps and makes life much easier for someone who absolutely has no interest in flashing stuff on her phone. In other words.... My wife....:laugh:

She used a rooted Oppo find 7 running omni Rom for several years. We have a restaurant and catering service where it is important to have a good camera with you all the time to make beautiful pictures of the meals etc. The Oppo sucks in this direction plus has the worst screen I've ever seen because of being unbelievable dark that it's nearly impossible to use the phone outdoors. My wife really suffered because of that because with all the customers calling you a day it makes you addicted to a smartphone in a way. On the other hand she is not interested in any electronical stuff. After three years of usage the battery of the oppo has become pretty weak that she finally said:"Matt, I need a new phone! It must have a the best huge screen, it must be an amoled display it must have the best camera and battery life, it shouldn't have such a new stupid 18:9 screens and it should be affordable for... Hmmm... Let's say 250 EUR!"

My reaction was just :eek:

So after some days of thinking I bought a Pixel Xl.

I knew she won't be totally satisfied because spending money for shoes etc is so much more import than for technical equipment you know... :D

But I bought it because this phone is supported by a secret weapon called ElementalX....

"It's really a mess that this Pixel phone doesn't seem to support this double tap to wake feature, Husband!" "One second, honey. *installing your kernel app* Here we go. Your missed feature."

Later the day she entered the balcony. It was a beautiful, super sunny day in Germany. I had installed your high brightness mode for these case, of course.... :D

I observed her face every second when she later on looked on her Pixel. The moment the high brightness mode kicked in without doing anything tears start rolling out of her eyes, she looked around. A fragile voice said with all thankfulness and gladness:"Thank you so much my love." and gave me a kiss.

Sorry for writing such a long weird message in a development thread. But after the good old Nexus 5, Oneplus 5 and 6, HTC 10 (my son uses it totally satisfied with your Kernel) days I had the desire to say thank you. This kiss applied to, you, Aaron.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:

Is there support for custom roms? I've been able to flash 3.09 on oreo 8.1 marlin stock image, but flashing 3.09 via fastboot/twrp on custom roms results in a bootloop, requiring a twrp backup to regain functionality. Are there additional steps required?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lka1988:
I'd like to know about this as well. This has happened to me on Official LOS 15.1 and crDroid 4.6 so far.

I don't know, it might be more aggressive at killing apps and services
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
Also something else I forgot to mention: If I open HBM and Auto kicks in while it's bright outside, it will stay on after I go inside and even after turning the screen off and back on. I do not have Restore HBM after screen off enabled.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
