Do you really want to undervolt an EAS kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reed_405:
My friend tell me that undervolt make phone battery longer than usual. And he tell me that undervolt support on custom kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Freak07:
Undervolting was only needed or worthwhile on older socs like sd800.

The newer chips like 820,821 and 835 choose dynamically the lowest possible voltage that won’t crash your chip.

MTP Lost?

Somehow I've lost MTP file transfer after rooting and installing ElementalX-P-1.12.zip

Android File Transfer pops up, shows the sdcard contents, and then immediately throws an error saying "Can't access device storage, if your device's screen is locked...". (Of course my phone isn't locked, other devices work with AFT, and I've tried many things including Safeboot and no luck.)

These are the steps applied in order to root (on a factory fresh OTA with NKG47L):

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img

from TWRP RC1: flash twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip

reboot system

reboot recovery

from TWRP RC2: flash SuperSU-v2.82-SR1-20170615211546-PixelFix.zip

reboot bootloader

fastboot boot boot-to-root.img

reboot recovery

from TWRP RC2: flash ElementalX-P-1.12.zip

Any suggestions?

Can ChainFire's boot-to-root.img (root-marlin-pixelxl-v2.82-SR1-PixelFix.zip in this post) be reapplied with a custom kernel (e.g. ElementalX)?

Is there an easy way to revert to the stock kernel to rule out ElementalX?

Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Why are you flashing a SuperSU zip and using boot to root? Seems redundant to me. To get the stock kernel fastboot flash the stock boot img from the factory image from Google.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndfan77:
Thanks for responding.

I thought we were supposed to flash both (based on ChainFire's post (here).

So, reverting from ElementalX back to stock is as simple as "fastboot flash boot.img" from the current factory zip? Will SuperSU need to be reflashed afterword?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The kernel shouldn't have any effect on USB

Flashing procedure:

boot TWRP

make a backup of boot.img (so you can return to stock kernel easily)

install TWRP

install SuperSU and reboot

make a backup of boot.img (so you can return to stock rooted easily)

install ElementalX
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndfan77:
I've been using ElementX on the Nexus 6P for years with no issues (thank you!), and it's the first thing I wanted on the Pixel XL after rooting, and I haven't really done much else with root (except stuff like Titanium Backup, WLD, etc.), so unfortunately I didn't take any backups between rooting and installing ElementalX.

Since I unlocked (which of course wiped everything) with OTA NKG47L, and everything else is stock except the ElementalX kernel, can I just boot flash the boot.img from the factory NKG47L zip and cleanly get back to the stock kernel (just to test)?

If not, I'm guessing I need to do the flash-all process with the factory zip?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Yes, the kernel is contained in the boot.img so flashing the stock boot.img will give you the stock kernel, remove twrp, and root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gettingerr:
Is this kernel compatible with Lineage OS based roms such as Hexa?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jhs39:
I can't possibly disagree with you more. The stock governor sched on the Pixel XL is the equivalent of the On Demand governor on the old Nexus devices but on steroids. Picking up my phone and the screen coming on is enough to raise the temperature of my Pixel XL battery by 20F almost instantly. The simple act of reading emails or surfing the Internet causes the CPU to max out as if you were doing heavy gaming. That isn't my idea of optimized and I think it's disgraceful that ElementalEx would even release a kernel for the Pixel XL where the only governor you can actually use is sched. This isn't a new phone. Everyone doesn't want their Pixel XL to burn out like the Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P but with the sched governor the Pixel XL consistently runs at a higher internal temperature than either of those phones did. Mine has already shut down multiple times because of overheating which wouldn't happen with a more balanced kernel governor that didn't constantly push the CPU so hard even when it's completely unnecessary for what you are actually doing with the phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Kisakuku:
Please link your Pixel kernel. I would love to take a look at the optimizations you've come up with.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
This phone is very well engineered. Your post is out of line. I use this phone as my daily driver and it never gets hot and the battery life is among the best of all my phones. I've never had a shutdown or random reboot on this phone.

I think your device has other problems if it's overheating or shutting down.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Yeah that guy has been posting about the overheating "issue" in as many places as he can. Also he keeps mentioning that Sched is not a very good governor, it keeps the phone in performance mode always, thus causing it to heat unnecessarily and stuffs like that, he claimed devs are a bit lazy to tweak the default Sched governor, because according to him the governor can be tweaked massively to obtain better results. I myself am unsure about the overheating issue, my phone never rebooted on its own, battery life is definitely above average (counting the 2017 flagships), the smoothest phone I've ever used bar none (sold the bloody iP7 because of that only), in fact if there wasn't that random freezing issue then the best phone available on the market, even with the issue it probably is.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ndfan77:
Sorry for the distraction and amount of time since first post (family health emergency).

The running configuration of the phone hasn't changed since this was posted, yet the MTP has "mysteriously" started working again. (Coming from someone that doesn't like to see an issue not settled without good Root Cause Analysis, but I digress [for lack of time/resources]).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
1. I use my Pixel XL every single day and it runs fast, smooth, stable and cool. It currently has an uptime over 22 days, the temperature is about 28-36C, and I've not even come close to running out of battery.

2. If you don't like sched, you can use interactive, elementalx, ondemand or conservative. I ported elementalx gov to this device and updated ondemand and conservative to work with big.little chips.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pcriz:
Oh Lord, this guy again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jhs39:
1) Are you talking about battery temp or CPU temp? 36C =96.8F. My battery runs at a base temp of 100F if I do anything whatsoever with the phone--check emails, read XDA, whatever--if I'm using the phone the battery temp is never below 100F. The idle temp is usually around 80F which is what makes it obvious that sched is actually an On Demand style governor that unnecessarily raises the CPU to max frequency when you do anything with the phone. I don't know anybody who ever flashed a custom kernel and chose to run On Demand as the governor but that's what people are doing with the Pixel XL. An interactive style governor is much more efficient and raises the CPU frequency as needed based on the demands actually placed on the phone. People who have monitored their CPU temperature have reported that it runs significantly hotter than the battery and were generally alarmed at what they discovered since the Pixel XL never feels hot to the touch. There are also those who trust Google and think the Pixel XL can last fine long term running at those high temps (unlike the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P and numerous LG phones).

2) The OnDemand, Interactive and other governors I expected to see were all still there to choose when I flashed ExKernel. The problem was that the frequencies were still set for a Nexus style phone so they didn't work properly on the Pixel XL and actually made the phone run significantly worse than sched did.

3) There is reportedly a governor called sched2 but I'm not sure how it differs from sched and it wasn't offered on the kernels that I tried. There is also a single kernel for the Pixel XL where the dev claims to have created 5 custom kernel profiles that are compatible with the Pixel XL. Unfortunately, the dev introduces his kernel by saying that he is an amateur who doesn't really know what he is doing and he gives the names for the 5 custom governors he created but completely neglects to mention what each of them actually do. I wasn't really comfortable flashing that kernel. As far as I have been able to research sched2 and that amateur developer's 5 mystery governors are the full and complete extent of alternative governor development for the Pixel XL that actually exists.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
Same. I had never had heat problems myself as a last week daily 38 + degrees and I use the device also then much. Games I do not play sure also no maximum load of the cpu but also Otherwise never felt like I had to pay attention to the temperature, Not at the cpu, not at the battery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jhs39:
One more thing--I started a separate thread asking people what temps their Pixel XL's were running at because I was trying to figure out whether I needed to RMA my phone. Not a single person reported an operating temp as low as claimed by the user in the earlier post. The operating temps everyone reported were almost exactly the same as mine.

Moderator Information,

Thread cleaned, can we please keep posts on topic.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Freak07:
obviously your post is directed towards me.

I suggest doing some Research about EAS vs traditional HMP and what it actually does. This is a good starting Point.

https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=...?la=en&usg=AFQjCNG0QxUc7dtBcGc46IKVyYcrBz8Tzg

It might resolve your misunderstanding about the use of sched governor vs interactive.

About the other sched (!), they are all based on sched/schedutil because this is an EAS Kernel, governors I added into the kernel, there is Information available in my thread ( second post) or on my github.

Here is a link to the second post with explanations: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70974371&postcount=2

Just because I stated this is my first kernel I posted, doesn´t mean I have no idea what I´m doing, as you suggested. My skill Level might not be on the Level of [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ´s but I learned quite a lot about EAS. I test every kernel and make sure it is stable for me.

Lastly I want to add that I feel XDA is a place to learn and cooperate. Not a place to demand anything.

I second [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ´s opinion. This phone is highly optimized by Google. my battery temp never crosses 30°C when doing browsing, reading xda, hangouts, Google plus, reading News etc.

If there are Background processes that eat up CPU cycles the phone may get hot. If there are apps that are not properly optimized the phone may heat up.

edit 3: Flashed ex 1.14 again and lost sound

edit 4: flashed july image again...sound back. flashed 1.12 and lost sound.

edit 5: deleted ex app and sound is back after reboot. must be something that applying to boot is messing with. going to flash 1.14 without app installed and see

edit 6: i have sound now with 1.14 without the app installed

It doesn't show because of play store security. Certain apps won't show if you have unlocked bootloader.

Except that installing a custom kernel like EX hides that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] IlyaKol:
Open the app and make sure you don't have "Apply on boot" set for the sound stuff. I had this happen too when messing with the earpiece gain, etc. I just made it all default and took off the apply on boot option and sound was back.

EDIT

: My issue was duplicated on stock ROM/Kernel.

It seems like my file system slows down or gets choked once in awhile.

Mostly while taking pics.

Most pics are fine. Then suddenly the file system(?) freezes and I can't take another pic for like a minute.

Anyone else?

Happened real bad on 1.11 on RR ROM and occasionally still on 1.14 with DU ROM.

I use default setting for kernel install.

Other than disabling DDTS and enabling brightness.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobbarker2:
Once you relock you can't unlock again. And also yeah 100% stock since you'll have no way to flash any fixes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
You can unlock again. The danger with locking without being 100% stock is that if for whatever reason you can no longer boot the OS and toggle oem unlocking, THEN you can't unlock and you can't flash any fixes as you mentioned.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
I have never seen this on DU and I only use Flar's kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Double tap to sleep where? Most firmwares have the ability to do this a lot of places and has nothing to do with the kernel. However, this kernel has sweep navbar to sleep.

Pictures aren't as bad. But it happens to videos somewhat frequently. I didn't think it was really an issue though. I just always thought it was due to heavy processing caused by saving and processing large HDR photos and videos.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] CZ Eddie:
The HDR processing actually tells you when that's going on.

For me, the camera opens but there is no picture.

And it lasts like a full minute or two before I can use it again.

Maybe it's just me then and that's good.

Something I'm doing must be screwing with things.

Like maybe I'm debloating too much.

Should i flash the boot.img from the factory image or what? and im rooted with SuperSU, what will happen to that?

Flashing this kernel should not, in any way, affect your SuperSU root. You just flash the zip and it will have the new kernel.

Make sure you get the EX kernel Manager from the Play Store to manager these kernel settings.
