I'm using Nova Launcher on Benzo ROM and when I install this kernel Nova getting pretty laggy when scrolling between home screen and in the app drawer. Any idea why this would be happening?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] hochoch:
Thanks - I think I saw a similar mention of this issue on the regular pixel or 6p thread. Maybe an app update broke something? I'll try the un-optimized battery route for now and see if that fixes things, but it's fine when in use, just loses settings upon reboot. Maybe i should clear app data too and start fresh?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
Not a kernel problem
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Then why is it fine with the stock kernel and laggy with this kernel with nothing else is being changed?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Check your CPU governor. Mine keeps reverting to performance for some reason even after I toggle it and put it to apply on boot. Switching it back to sched fixes it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Thanks, that seemed to have taken care of the lag.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dsexton702:
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for your hard work and updates. Love the kernel and features. Only thing I could possibly ask for would be voltage control, but the battery life is impressive with or without it. Thanks again!

I have this kernel flaseado in my factory pixel with android 9, I downloaded elementalx kernel to modify settings, but it does not record me, I put the vibration at 75% and only goes down to factory values, the kernel is permissive ??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The system is overriding the vib setting every time it vibrates. I'll fix it in the next update.

Also, do not run in permissive mode.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
it is the vibration, the control of the nucleus when I put the minimum and everything else, immediately I return to everything by default .. a question, the volume of the speaker can not be modified so that it is heard more? in the application it is full volume and you can not give more ... in the mic and headphones if you have room to give more sound, in the speaker not ...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The speaker will not go any louder
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] stifmaster81:
because it does not sound too loud .. before the mixer.patch was modified in system / etc, now it is no longer in that path, in android 9 it is in System / vendor / etc and when making any change it returns to the default state .. Is there nothing that can be done about it ???

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I know older versions aren't supported, but I'm looking for like version 3.07. I'm on 8.1 and can't get 3.09 to flash without bootlooping. The newest version in your AFH oreo folder is 3.03.

When you released anything after that it was from the EX website. If you get some time could you upload 3.07 (I believe 3.08 was an incremental update that turned into 3.09 quickly)? Or if anyone has a copy of 3.07 they could throw onto drive for a day or two I would appreciate it.

**********************

Nevermind, I found it in the generic AFH folder.

Windows 10 says the kernel download is a virus and I can't get it to download X^D

I disabled .zip in the Windows Defender settings so I could download and sideload, just an FYI in case you are able to report it to M$ as safe and their detection a false-positive.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is ROM related or Kernel related. I just clean installed Benzo after a clean factory install to 9 from 8. I did install ElementalX directly after.

When I plug in USB Windows recognizes the phone connection, when I select PTP from the android device, it correctly shows up in Windows Explorer. However, as soon as I select "File Transfer" on my Pixel XL, the phone does not show up in Windows Explorer as an option. Anyone else had this trouble?

Thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lka1988:
Is 3.07 functioning for you without bootlooping?

This is really frustrating, no one has responded to any inquiries about the bootlooping after flashing 3.09. I even posted a log a month or so back....nothing. I get that he doesn't owe us anything as it's free, but I would like some sort of response, even if it's just "i'm working on other things". Just closure or something.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Each version works with the firmware it was made for. There is no problem with bootlooping if the versions match. If you can't figure out what version to use, it is best to use EX Kernel Manager to download the correct version.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Akomack:
I've tried so many ways and I'm having serious bootlooping issues with EX. I've tried it on both DU and crDroid. I've tried 3.09 regular and express, flashing through twrp and ex kernel manager. I've tried going back to 3.08 and 3.07, tried switching slots, flashing magisk before and after, combination of all of it.

I've gotten 3.09 to flash before, but for some reason it gives me bootloops now. I can flash flash kernel no problem, even his latest that is meant for Pie.

By no means do I expect an answer or any help on an older version of the kernel and OS. I'm just frustrated because I want to run EX kernel on 8.1 since I'm not switching to 9 until DU releases their RC builds. I've tried 9, but I really can't function without smartbar.:good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Yeah, this is based on stock. DU probably has its own base kernel.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I'm having an issue with the settings not sticking when I set them to apply at boot. Nobody else having this issue are they? I always assuming it's probably something on my end just figured I'd ask.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] crackerjack1957:
Had audio issues with EX Kernel Manager with Pie, Viper4Android & Ainur.

Seems like they do not get along together.

Did not try uninstalling audio mods but if I uninstall EX Kernel Manager audio works.

Speaker phone was only affected & kernel manager was set to defaults with latest EX Kernel, reboot would fix for a a minute but sound would be lost during playback.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:

Here's a dumb question, I have been getting bad (3 hrs sot) on android pie, would a kernel specifically this one, increase battery life?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spr33:
Probably not.

Take stock of how you use your phone, taking into consideration apps used, data connection used and other parameters such as wakelocks and display brightness and go from there.

3-4 hours is all I've ever known with my Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lexaternum:
Tried flashing manually and got boot loop, then bought the app and tried flashing via the app, but it keeps failing. What's going on?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
I found a clean install works. Full wipe flash stock. Reflash twrp then this zip, then flash this kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lexaternum:
I've done a clean install, but I'm also running on BenzoROM right now. As far as I know, there should be no issue, but running the app to install the kernel fails and bootloops once I restart to system. I've tried flashing from a clean install of the custom rom but no cigar. Maybe this doesn't work with BenzoROM? Can anyone confirm?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
That can be a huge problem if they don't support this kernel. Custom roms usually entail a custom kernel, one they tweaked to their rom to work more specific to that build. There is one rom that uses this kernel, but tweaked. This one works perfect with the stock rom. There is a few other just kernel tweaks. But most have a disclaimer to flash the stock rom. With a disclaimer like that, usually means it won't work on custom roms.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Just went over to the benzo rom. First line is listing their built custom kernel. No way will flashing another kernel ever work on that rom. Not bashing the rom. That is just a full rom and kernel. This is a kernel made for a stock rom. Just saying. Reading does help.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] KevinThaKid:
Does this break safety net?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
No. In fact, it hides the bootloader state so it actually helps you pass SafetyNet. Of course, Magisk will hide it, anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
I've been using BenzoRom for close to 6 months and I've almost exclusively run Elementalx the whole time. Clean install, full reboot, back to recovery, flash kernel then magisk. I've even successfully dirty flashed this way.

Benzo is a stock based rom, and across my many devices Elementalx has always worked with stock bases pretty well. Probably user error in this instance.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Just so everyone know, there were no kernel changes with the November update. Good to go with EX 4.08
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:
You must be joking.

I am getting around 7 hours SoT on November patch on my Essential phone which is pretty much same as a Pixel. Android Pie in it's current form is about as good as Android has ever been!

You probably have some rogue apps running rampant and killing your battery. I suggest you check for wakelocks, or do a full restore back to stock and test again, if your battery life still sucks it's probably a hardware issue.

Good luck!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
So Im the only one in the forums that has poor battery life with pie on the XL. ok sir thanks for saying everything but actually addressing the proposed question....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
Changing the governor isn't going to magically improve your battery life. Not changing anything at all is the most balanced. Like already mentioned, find out what apps are eating up your battery life. Apps like BetterBatteryStats or GSam Battery Monitor can help with that
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
Conservative yields much better battery than performance, no? If Im incorrect then plz let me know. Just dont be a smart azz about it lol, because this is a sincere question.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
Sounds like you already know your governors. Obviously it's not optimal to run either conservative or performance all the time. Google chose sched over interactive for a reason on our devices. I suggest trying the available governors and compare them. Everyone uses their device differently with a different app library.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Gsam is killing battery life on pie. So is greenify. All the apps before used to control battery consumption are now the ones using the most. Afwall and a few magisk modules. Well being and the battery shortcut work best now. The doze on pie works flawlessly. Forcedoze, gms doze, any of those do not work anymore. Not even rooted. Pie blocks any and all apps from seeing system processes. Greenify only shows run time of the app, no more data used. Look for yourself. I still have an Oreo and nougat phone where they work still. Pie locked all that out. Cpu frequency is all that can seen now. In Dev options you see more than any of the mentioned do. Go look at your running services and cached processes, that will give more of an idea of what is actually running. Also with how many processes is running. Wakelocks are on all apps which still can be disabled with root. Sd maid can do it in app control. And normal apps, everyday apps will have numerous wakelocks, network change, screen on, phone state change, download received. You will apps that are not even downloading anything get waken up because another app downloaded something. Google left that part of android still open if rooted. A lot has taken away. Just my take on pie in the past few months.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yochananmarqos:
I only suggested BBS or GSam for tracking potentially misbehaving apps. I agree apps like Greenify are no longer necessary.

I think we're getting a bit off topic at this point.

something may be wrong b/c when I am in ex manager I dont see gov options at all. All i have is dashboard, elementalx, cpu times, battery monitor...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DougMG:
That means you do not have root or root acess was not granted to EXKM. EXKM only shows all of its settings if you have root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kinfolk248:
had to uninstall and redo it 2x before it worked. idk what that was about...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
Sched is the only EAS governor that runs on the pixel, it is the most ideal governor to use. If you want a good governor, use sched or find a kernel that uses schedutil because they are both EAS and (somewhat) optimized for this device. Governor options are in the CPU tab

However, governors don't directly affect battery life. These are caused from rogue services/poorly developed apps that drain your battery. Many apps such as BBS detect these apps so you can mediate them. The kernel regulates the device, but it doesn't directly affect the battery. It affects the CPU, GPU, and features which in turn affect the battery. A little drain here and there is fine. This is a two year old device

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CamoGeko:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
Some say flash it on other slot, others say flash on same slot. I wanna clear something up. Flash everything on the same slot your rom's on. The exception is custom roms where you have to run on slot A

Today at lunch I sat down to see what caused my wipe, the Kernel or the root. It seems it's the Kernel. I flashed the kernel over my install and then immediately booted from the boot to root file. System wiped itself. Later I re-booted from the boot to root and it did not wipe anything. I will be sticking to this Kernel for at least a week or 2 before I go through resetting up the phone again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
You need to flash the stock boot.img if you have a custom kernel with root and are moving to another kernel with root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ednometry:

Are you using Google Allo - maybe even more specifically, the latest APK that adds quick reply from notifications and such? My phone has been working fine all evening, and I only message my girlfriend on Allo... haven't been using it since we've been home together. CPU usage was normal. I opened Allo then went back to home screen... CPU usage is now crazy high. I go to recent apps and swipe away Allo... CPU usage is now normal. I'm thinking it may be the newest APK (I downloaded the latest from APKMirror with the 500ish DPI setting). But if you haven't updated yours, maybe it's Allo in general with this kernel and/or root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
A. The data wipe thing is not related to the kernel. Full stop, it's not. The install only affects your boot partition. So I don't want to hear about it anymore. I flashed both my pixels like 50 times and my data has not been wiped.

B. The CPUs pegged at max is also not kernel related. I have not made any changes to the way the cpus work. Most likely, it's an app that needs to be updated for Android 7.1. Nougat breaks a lot of apps.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
A. Told you! lol :p I know its bootloader related! This I am sure of!
