Do somebody test the advanced Kernel Tweaks from O+3 on the Pixel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] grinchyyy:
I noticed on my first day of using the Pixel XL (Build NMF26O with ElementalX 1.01) that the phone wakes up in-pocket a lot. I have trusted devices set up and s2w.

I turned off Lift-to-Wake in the moves menu and it seems to fix the issue. I realize I can simply disable trusted devices and use a pin ect... to stop the in-pocket activity but I don't believe this should be happening.

Is it safe to assume that perhaps the software isn't checking the proximity sensor prior to waking the device? I'm just looking for confirmation that this isn't kernel related.

BTW, excellent work as usual on this kernel [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] thanks for your hard work!

Love the kernal has been running great for me on weta. This morning (EX KERNAL MANAGER) gave me a notification of an update, so I came here and flashed through TWRP, my question is is that feature available to us? I thought it wasn't due to the partition or some other technical aspect that I wouldn't understand?.

Just wondering for future prf.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gris1016:
Is this the kernel to use to get android pay and pokemon go to work? I have been trying to get these things going but its not going so well :)

I do not have root and also have bought the EX kernel manager app. Currently have no custom recovery and running this kernel 1.02 on weta 2.2. Pokemon go is a no go lol

I have fsync disabled on boot in the app. Can anyone help me out with this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
You're not missing out on anything, battery life will be as good or better than any other kernel, and it will have the same stability as stock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Which feature? Flashing through TWRP works, but it doesn't autoflash when you download through the app. I don't know if TWRP will be adding that functionality or not.

I don't know much about that, I don't use those apps. This kernel has a patch to hide bootloader status, but if you otherwise modify your system in any way it fails the checks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I'm not able to access the proximity sensor in the kernel. You can use the wake gestures app in my signature to get pocket detection.

Try using sweep up only. I made it a bit harder to trigger in 1.02
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gris1016:
So with this kernel installed, will we still get the initial cant check for software corruption message at startup, the whole bootlaoder is unlocked black and orange screen :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
You will still get that annoying screen.

IDK...I chose the 2.4Ghz option on 1.01, and get bootloader on the upper two FREQS....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JayCizzo:
So sweep to wake no longer works if you're not rooted? I flashed this and lost it. Flashed back to 1.01 for now. Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Don't overclock. Overclocking is never guaranteed to be stable.

Sock frequencies are guaranteed to be stable though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
No, because then you would lose stock double tap gesture.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JayCizzo:
Stock double tap sucks anyway. Not very responsive and sometimes doesn't work at all. I'll probably root soon since Android Pay is barely offered anywhere so no big deal.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pokemon1996:
can i flash 1.0.2 over 1.0.0 without dirty flashing rom?

can i also go back to to stock settings? getting reboots on overrclock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] garrettsessions:
This version works perfectly! Thanks for fixing the stock double tap.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
Unlocked bootloader ---> the message you talking about is there

What is everyone using for their governer and I/o scheduler? I just left it to default...Just curious is all
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wtherrell:
Out of the box mine was set to sched. Reset it to Elemental X. Better battery life and less overheating. Tried powersave but there was too much lag and stuttering.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

Have you tweaked the *ElementalX* CPU governor default settings? In other words is it Pixel optimized?

I recall you stating in response to another user that the settings were not optimized by you yet, but that was a while ago now.

I'm curious to test if I get better results with your own governor :)

Cheers,

nerB
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
You can try it, but I think the sched gov is the way to go on this device. It works in conjunction with the kernel scheduler.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nadiros:
Hey Flar2, is there a trick to the new tweaked slide to wake gesture? I loved it before and have used it for ages but now it takes several tries, often doesn't work and vibrate. Maybe I'll double tap in the meantime.

Thanks for the kernel. Everything else is smooth as always. :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I'm going to make it a little easier in the next update. It was too easy before, now it's slightly too difficult.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
What is this sched gov? Please clear it for idiots like me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] southernstyle:
It's the default cpu governor profile for the Pixel XL. Idk how it works or any of that, but I do know is the default.

Also wanted to add that I solved my latency, lag, bad performance issues. I had the navbar apps app installed to match the navbar to the header, and that alone caused huge hits on performance. I have removed it and back to the snappy device I love.

I noticed that in sound tab of ex kernel manager the speaker gain is maxed out at 0db by default. Can only reduce gain not amplify. Is this by design? Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
OK thanks, but I gotta follow up with another stupid query, default CPU governor of which kernel, this Flar's kernel or the one Pixel comes out by default?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Yes, it can't be increased.

I turn it down a bit because the lowest volume step is too loud.

It's also useful for sound mods that increase other volume levels
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] southernstyle:
Sorry I should have been more clear. Sched is the default governor of the Pixel XL stock kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sacthegreat:
Is Rapid Charging working on this kernel? The max current I am able to measure on Ampere is stuck at 1650 mA. And the phone is charging slow compared to stock.

I want to confirm if that is only mine or is everyone facing the same issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nadiros:
1650mA from what battery level? Mine tapers down the more it charges. At say 1% to 50% or more you should charge much faster
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sacthegreat:
Around 48-55% was when I checked. I was using the stock ac charger itself!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:
fyi.

After I installed the new Chainfire SuperSU 2.79 SR1 . . . . the sweep to wake did not work until I re-installed your kernel, then all is cool once more . . . .

hth.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
Were you already rooted? If so you are updating just for fun and running risk of busting root or kernel by flashing again. Root is root and once is enough and dirty flashing future versions can break previous properly working installs or change the boot IMG.

Kernal is supposed to flash after root in normal install.

You re-rooted and then kernel needed​ to be flashed.

Possibly fine as you are, but as you saw with a broken function, order has a reason and function. It is too be expected.

If for whatever reason you want re root, flash stock boot for your firmware.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then re root and re kernel.

Do this after booting up once if your last step is flashing factory image.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:

how about disabling the kernel debugging and logging events?

non essential process should go bye bye.

am i right in assuming "fastboot flash boot boot.img" does not wipe any data? just reinstalls the stock kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
You are right. It installs stock recovery too
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:

Did you go and 'actually' look what was 'changed / added' going from 2.79 -to- 2.79 SR1 ? ? ? ?

Mr. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], sir,

Hope you're having a nice break and not freezing too badly. I'm originally from Iowa and miss the cold and 'real trees' instead of what I got now . . . .

I remember you sayin you were going to look at the LED 's. . . Are you the man to 'turn on' the charging LED. . . Last phone had it and I miss it.

thx.

Hi ! I used ElementalX on my Nexus 5, and I'm very happy to use it again with my new Pixel XL :)

I saw that it is possible to reduce the mic gain about approximately 10 dB (via EX Kernel Manager). Do you think that it is possible to allow to go lower (-50 or -60 for example) ?? I don't know exactly the limit, I need some testing in very loud environment.

Thanks !

Hi. Happy holidays.

I looked two days ago. I saw not a single necessary feature for my root apps to keep working. Root is 100%. Indeed, maybe you were waiting for the new feature for months. What new test feature were you in need of?

Looking forward to this!

Will HBM auto activate by any chance? I can't remember if this was an option when I used your kernel/app on my 6P... I would always activate it myself via a Nova shortcut, but if it worked with auto brightness like Samsung's phones, that would be incredible.

trying to go back to stock kernel after flashing gone wrong

im stuck in a boot loop

and at the end of it i come to the screen which says "no command"

edit: fixed by running flash-all.bat without the -w flag.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
You MIGHT have gotten away with flashing stock boot.img AND stock system.img. Some have reported that cured a bootloop. But flash-all is more comprehensive so all good.

Did you reboot system after TWRP and SuperSU (needed for full options in EX)?

With a fresh start:

Boot then Install latest TWRP (RC1) and latest SuperSU (2.79 SR1) without reboot, and try a reboot into system before going back to recovery and flashing EX.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
All fixed now :)

Coming from Franco kernel it seems elemental is alittle more snappier, however it seems Franco kernel is more battery friendly

Anyone have any experience with the two kernels?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Here's my stats running 7.1.1 + EX Kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
I get very similar results

However on franco i cant deny that it eats battery noticeably slower.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

this kernel feels a little snappier than franco's but drains battery noticeably faster.

im torn between slight performance or longer battery life.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
My Pixel XL easily lasts two days, so battery life isn't a concern.

If you want to measure battery, use something like the battery monitor in EX Kernel Manager that shows %/hr while screen is on and while screen is off. This is the only way to accurately measure battery life.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
i use ex kernel manager to monitor batter along side gsam.

i also let my phone run till my battery dies

i get an extra hour of SOT on franco compared to elemental, im guessing its the need to keep gestures awake, i love the performance elemental gives tho, everything is snappier and more responsive.

have you used francos? (i hope its not taboo asking a dev to try another kernel) do you see any difference in battery? if the gestures are the culprit, would it be possible to keep all gestures off option in aroma?

i also notice android OS consumes less battery in franco

im going to keep trying elemental and franco out and come to a conclusion as to which i will use as my daily driver

such a hard choice

thank you [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for this amazing kernel, ive purchased your app and donated to show my gratitude!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
What are your stats with EX and franco? SOT is a useless measure, I mean in %/hr over the course of at least a day or two. Usually I try both kernels, but haven't on this phone. I haven't found any need to optimize for battery life, mine barely ever gets below 50% in a day.

The gestures use negligible battery on this phone, less than 0.2%/hr while screen is off. You can disable them completely if you like.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I agree; once the battery life gets as good as it is with this phone, it becomes a non issue. Convenient/useful features take priority. Good battery life is nice and I watch it all the time but I charge each night and hardly ever go below 50% so I'm trying to stop dwelling on it :D. I like this phone and this kernel. The phone is easily the best I've owned and the kernel makes it better. Thanks for your time & work, much appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
Im a nazi when it comes to battery life

I know i shouldn't be...

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] a feature i think that would be great on this phone is the ability to use the finger print sensor as a scroll, is it possible?

ive come back from fk to elemental because of the speed and dtw features.

however some of the commits in francos kernel seem like they would obviously yield better battery performance (i.e the commit from qualcomm-memcpy and memmove operations) merging of upstream patches, reducing idle cpu wake ups, etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
So what am I doing wrong? I flashed this kernel and my phone drains faster than a pitcher of beer at a frat party !!

Can someone give me the specifics on needed (additions) and adjustments to this kernels settings and how to do that so I can get the best of battery life. Help!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Install Better Battery Stats and do some monitoring.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] wiseguyy:
Ok, so why would this drain so heavily from the stock Aroma install? I left all the settings alone and stock when optioned so I am kind of upset. I need to go back to stock patched. I am not trying to torch the carpet from performance I want battery life!!

Also what good does monitoring do??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Thought it was somewhat obvious? You use BBS to monitor the device, and see what is causing drain.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] quangtran1:
Your drain is not due to this kernel. It's the WETA 2.3 you installed. We think wifi isn't shutting off properly. It's being worked on. You need to run WETA 2.2.1 to clear your battery drain issue.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paz9:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I've noticed that my battery sometimes drops 2% at a time (id say once every 6% itll drop a 2% at once)

This never happens on stock or fk, i also notice that android OS (kernel) uses more battery than other kernels.

i think most of the commits on fk helps reduce the usage on the kernel.

also, IPA_WS wakelock seems to be really high, fk has an inbuild wakelock disabler for this service i believe it helps keep the phone in deep sleep as it wakes up the phone from idle (IPA_WS is emergency broadcasting service, safe to disable.)
