Got a question, if I install this, will ANDROID PAY work? I read on one of the "questions and answer regarding AP" that this KERNEL will work with AP. It is true or that guy was imagining things=))

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
You can have this kernel and Android pay work as long as you don't have SuperSU
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] imna357:
Even on unlocked BOOTLOADER? I just got the Pixel today, I got Nexus 6p and One+3, but no custom kernel installed with unlocked BOOTLOADER and AP works, I read on some news article that google is blocking AP when you got unlocked BOOTLOADER on the Pixel. One last thing, without root will the D2TW & D2TS will work?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
The kernel has the bootloader verity check patched so yes even with an unlocked bootloader Android pay will work (for now?)

You should be able to set up wake gestures using the aroma installer :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Veid71:
If I want to set up the wake gestures do I have to re flash the kernel or is there a way to do without doing that? And if not will I have to flash the boot.img again? And what does that do?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
With root, you can change them on the fly with EXKM, without root, you have to reinstall.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Veid71:
I have root and two installed what's exkm? An app?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
EX Kernel Manager - its on the playstore.

Remember to donate :wink:

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I noticed on the recent update EXKM added in speaker gains and has headphone gains. One thing I've noticed about this compared to my nexus 6 is that the Bluetooth has a lot less volume. Is there a way a kernel can control Bluetooth audio output levels?

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Veid71:
I got the ex kernel manager app but I can't seem to find them in it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ffchampmt:
Do you have the Elementalx kernel installed? Wake gestures availability is based off your kernel. If you hit the hamburger menu in the EXKM app there's an option for "Gestures". It should give you 3 gesture options and a slider for vibration intensity.

So I can just flash v1.0 in TWRP with SuperSU sr5 already installed and I'm good to go? Or have to choose slot or anything?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Worked great, thanks! Finally have haptic where I want it and LOVE that there is separate slider for notifications as I usually miss them once it's adjusted for typing. Kernel app is very slick and HBM is sweet. Phone feels a little zippier but that may be placebo ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vacaloca:
On the Nexus 6P, I was able to install TWRP, SuperSU, ElementalX, do some build prop edits, fully remove SuperSU from the app and still be able to keep the build.prop edits.

Doing the same thing on the Pixel XL does not keep the build.prop edits, unless I re-root, where I can see them again. Is installing a custom kernel not enough to have edits stick without root anymore? I'm assuming it doesn't stick because of the modified system_a, system_b layout that was not present in the 6P, but curious if anyone either is able to have edits stick without root and just a custom kernel, or if this is just not possible anymore.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] longbowpilot:
Anyone remember the instructions to flash the kernel without twrp? I looked around and can't seem to find it anymore. I just don't want to install twrp yet but still want the kernel on my 2nd pixel xl. I remember something about boot_a but I don't remember everything. Thanks for the help.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Scott:
Bad Phone, bad cable, bad charger.

Have you tried to change cables? I would start there first then move on to charger. I that does not resolve the issue I would assume phone charging port is bad or the motherboard is bad.

I can tell you with 100% certainty it is not the kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xocomaox:
Probably not a bad cable. Rebooted while plugged in without touching anything and it starts cgarging again. Looks like software, possibly the firmware then.

At least I'm not the only one with this problem. But it appears the only other person is using this kernel as well. Perhaps just a coincidence?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] danon.brown:
twrp doesn't have to be installed on the phone for you to install the kernel. It can be loaded from the pc to the phone for repeated use. Once you get out of recovery the phone reverts back to stock recovery.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Absolutely zero to do with this kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Stephenxda:
OK I have the Verizon Pixel XL. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed the latest TWRP and rooted. With that being said do I just install this kernel with TWRP. Or do I need to unroot before I install.

I know the information in somewhere in all these post but I'm just lazy. Humor me.:laugh:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
I just flashed with TWRP. This kernel along with EX kernel manager kicks ass.

Some earlier comments said there was no way to increase the speaker volume correct? Is it possible to tweak values in mixer_paths.xml?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jerreth:
I flashed the stock boot image 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and now boot loop i was trying to prep for the ota. I boot to twrp and it says it cant mount system. Any ideas i just need to get ex back on there i think and then i can boot again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] c7j8d9:
Try "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" and "fastboot flash boot_b boot.img" then reboot into stock recovery as twrp should not be on your phone if you successfully flashed the boot.img. Or skip the ota since the image it out and install the factory image without "-w" to keep your data. Without headache you run the flash-all and it will update.

Update: You will have to do the same with the new boot.img before rooting with TWRP and SR5.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nednednerb:
If TWRP can load....

Boot.img didn't flash right.....

Cos TWRP replaces boot.img.

Your best bet is factory image flash-all with "-w" removed from script file. That preserves your user data and definitely rmakes you ready for OTA.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jerreth:
thanks very much for the information guys :) flash boot_a and _b worked i was then able to sideload the new ota now to see if root will still work lol

ok note to self rooting does not work with boot-to-root.img gonna have to wait lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scloutkst:
I'm on the latest 7.1.1 and boot to root works fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] c7j8d9:
Without messing with system properties I use extraloud and convolvers in V4A to bring the sound up. Not ideal but increases sound.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jerreth:
is there a trick when i fastboot boot boot-to-root.img it loops like normal then hangs on the google screen.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scloutkst:
No tricks here. I downloaded the full system image. Removed the wipe commands with notepad ++ and flashed the full system image. Let phone boot, then rebooted into bootloader and fastboot booted the boot to root. A lot of people have had issues with boot to root if they have not updated to the latest fastboot and adb binaries. Find the 15 second adb install on xda and give that binary a try. Has been working flawlessly for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jerreth:
yeah i was trying to root first lol my bad thank you for your support. one more question though after installing ex kernel 1.00 it boots back to recovery every time i tell it to boot to system. is that a compatibility issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] JakeDHS07:
Just out of curiosity. Why are you guys still using boot to root instead of the TWRP/SuperSU zip install method? It's much easier IMO and there's been 3 updates to the SuperSU zip since boot to root was released and abandoned.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reechings:
Are you running V4A on stock rooted?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
In version 0.03:

Only sweep to wake up is enabled. Sweep up from the bottom of the screen to the top

You can also sweep to sleep, by sweeping from the right of the navbar to the left.

Double tap is disabled
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joetheshmo:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] thanks for the quick development! Is it known yet whether the wake gestures cause drain like on the Nexus 5/5X?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
It's only been a couple days and the batteries are still brand new, but so far they don't seem to add significant drain. Doubletap2wake is built in on both versions of the Pixel. They definitely don't cause drain like on the Nexus 5 and 5X.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] imaverik:
I do remeber reading this earlier but i think the issue may actually be the tempered glass i bought. I was able to get the kernel getures to work although they are completely random for sucess rate. I tried other built in android gestures and noticed i had the same issue. I took the glass off and all gestures immediately started working every time.

you kernel is awesome...as usual!!!! don't mind me...

note to self... don't by a 5 dollar piece of tempered glass whether its made for your phone or not.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
DT2W is built in to the pixels? So could that mean that enabling dt2w through the kernel won't cause drain at all? IIRC the pixel devs said that it's going to be enabled in stock through an OTA update later
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Yes, it's built in but disabled by default. It might technically cause a bit more drain, but we're talking something that is so small you won't notice it (like a very small fraction of a percent per hour, or perhaps 2% battery over a 24 hour period). It's basically just like the Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and Nexus 9, which all have double tap built in but disabled by default (actually the Nexus 9 has it enabled I think). Nothing like the Nexus 5 and 5X where it's an additional 2%/hr due to having to keep the screen powered on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] apascual89:
Awesome work! sweep to wake and sweep to sleep working flawlessly so far!

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I am sure you dont take request so consider this a challenge :p

Is there any way you can add a feature to relock the phone using the fingerprint sensor? I hate using the power button and I turn the phone on using fingerprint sensor so it would be logical to shut it off that way.

Just a random request :good:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ingenium13:
He mentioned earlier in the thread, slide from right to left along the nav bar, starting at the multitask button (square).

Since the fingerprint reader is used for so many other things (such as authentication within apps, opening/closing the notification tray, etc), I don't think your specific request can be implemented without causing a lot of problems. You'd have to disable the fingerprint sensor for everything else.

Hey Scott..nice to see you got a pixel...and I like that idea to use the fingerprint scanner to turn off the phone. Should be possible..wasn't the HTC 10 setup that way I can't remember I only had the phone for 2 weeks and returned it because I liked my 6p better
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] janjan:
It sounds a good idea. Actually in Moto Z it is possible to turn the screen on and off. First touch turn on and second touch turn off. It should be easy to add but it will definitely bring some issue. But flar2 knows better.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
No, it doesn't interfere at all with doze.

I took a quick look and it should be possible. Most likely I will turn it into a button and then an app like Button Mapper could be used to make it do whatever you want.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
Next release will also have hbm, sound control and color control. All are working good and I was able to test thanks to the dirty cow.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nbhadusia:
I ignored your reply the last time because it IS kernel related. It has to be implemented into the kernel for apps like Call recorder to work properly. Please do your research first. Thanks.

Franco has noted in his thread that there are major changes to the kernel in 7.1.1. I suggest you stay stock or use Franco until EX is updated. I'm using Franco for now but I'm dying without S2W. Native D2TW absolutely sucks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
I will try to make a release tonight. Even though I also find the native dt2w useless, I have to find a way to reliably allow users to switch between my implementation and google's. My initial attempt last night can lead to a situation where touchscreen doesn't respond, so I can't release until I solve that problem.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] c7j8d9:
Waiting patiently... Thanks for your hard work! I would vote not to add a switch. Waking the screen is perfect. Using ambi-turner for the ambient screen works fine if I just want to peek at notifications using wave to wake. But that's just me. I know people always want it both ways. Good luck!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dave778:
Thank you. I'm one of those people that like the native double tap to wake that's built into the OS but ElementalX has been my kernel since Nexus 5 then 6 & now on pixel xl.

Wether on stock & kernel w native dttw or wether on stock w elementalX & your implementation of dttw, I get major delays for the screen wakes up on both. Sometimes it doesn't wake at all no matter how much I tap.

Hope that helps.

I'm on stock 7.1.1 right now & was on stock 7.1 before.

Maybe you can increase the sensitivity in your release or fix the Google bug?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] flar2:
The native dt2w is horribly inconsistent. I wouldn't recommend my version of dt2w either. But you will get 100% reliability and zero lag with sweep up to wake.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] southernstyle:
Yea I mainly use sweep up and it works every time. The only thing I liked about native dt2w was that it woke up the ambient display instead of the screen fully waking. That would be a cool option in the kernel to switch between full wake or ambient wake.

+1 to this. This is a definite positive to the native iteration.

For what my opinion is worth, I hate how inconsistent DTTW is and much prefer the swipe to fully unlock.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micmars:
Is it possible to jettison yours and allow Google's execution to take precedence?

If yes, based on what I believe is your preference and that of many others (myself included), sweep-to-wake, in terms of both reliability and the efficiency of the technical side that underpins its execution, why not offer solely sweep gestures, since they are now custom instead of native?
