You need this experimental pixel magisk zip https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1xZ4VKT4JKZTnhTdGxDcWlkMXM

I installed rr it comes with magisk manager built in. I flashed rr and TWRP same time, then booted to system once, then back to TWRP, and flash that zip. I had to reboot once to get the safety net to pass. Make sure and go into magisk manager and turn on hide magisk. And if you use titanium backup. You need to go to preferences, troubleshooting, check force busy box, and force sq lite. Full wipe before u start. Hope I don't get into trouble posting this here lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kingkong0821:
I just clean flashed rr yesterday and I am now rooted with SuperSU

Gonna try unroot it and try flashing this zip
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mac796:
I sent u a pm
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] acidspider:
What's so special about magisk root?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
You can pass safetynet with it
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] acidspider:
So.it hides root to certain apps?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
I didn't realize a few of those wakelocks are blocked by default, maybe try unblocking them.

HBM is either on or off, there is no level.of brightness.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
I was too under the impression magisk was unavailable on pixel right now, maybe start a new thread for this and spread the love?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mac796:
It's not really available yet. Only experimental. You got to be on rr if you want to try it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AddictedToB3er:
Actually after fiddling around a bit I have it working on pn and ex. Even my picky banking app failed when I first installed it then enabled magiskhide and bam. I had to download the magisk app and sideload as playstore says it's not compatible.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Anyway I can have double tap to wake without root ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
Double tap ur screen and then hit the power button
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] doubleho:
go to setting, move, then you will find the option to turn it on ,but it isn't as sensitive as the exkernel one
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
I want the EX settings not the stock one, I know where that one is. I guess the answer is no, I already tried somethings.

Smartass
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iainaaldrich:
Using the ex kernel manager app, under gestures you can turn this on, however I suggest using swipe to wake as it works better. You can turn this on under gestures as well.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Not without root.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iainaaldrich:
I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want root unless you absolutely need Android Pay.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
A lot of reasons. Custom ROMs don't even come prerooted anymore. Breaking safety net breaks a lot of apps these days and if I don't have any reasons to use root then I shouldnt have to. I used to use it for adaway but don't bother anymore. So having root is not really necessary for me.

For example if you are rooted you won't even see the new Mario game in the PlayStore. There are many others. As time goes on root is becoming more and more difficult on newer versions. My Pixel has been rooted since October I just don't think I need the root anymore.

That's not really a discussion for this thread just wanted to know of d2w is possible without root, guess not.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] computercarl:
Why not run a custom rom like Pure Nexus, install Magisk, hide root, and be done? Best of both worlds. System wide ad blocking and passes Safety Net.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
I am on Pure Nexus. I tried Magisk 2 days ago, it's in very Alpha stage. There is a bunch of issues still with it, though great it's coming. Again not worth all the work when I don't need root. If it was just flash one file I wouldn't mind. At the moment Tibu doesn't quite work with it and neither does solid Explorer (won't write to system). Those are 2 apps I use with root.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] computercarl:
I flashed it over March's PN update this morning, it was 2 files, one was SU SR3, then boot, then flash Magisk, then uninstall SU SR3, and I'm having no issues. Magisk is truly only systemless root, so any modules that you need that requite "real root" will fail. You could reflash and just leave SR3, but then SN fails. I really only needed root for Adaware, because DNS66 well, sucked.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel/how-to/magisk-pixel-t3573845
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
I did the process it's 2 files but like 4 reboots or something.

Try Titanium backup or to write a file to system. There is an issue with busy box that comes with Magisk. Even the developer knows that issue.

It's great this method mostly works though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
you have to enable two options in preferences with TiBU and it will work. I have it working on mine with PN/magisk/elemental

Also aware but there is no guarantee that TiBu will work properly with those settings. Have you done a backup and restore?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
yes, but cant tell you if it will work fine consistently
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
What file manager do you use ? Can you see if you can make a folder in root/system/app
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Atemi1337:
This may be slightly off topic, I'm trying update eleX but since the March update, whenever I reboot into TWRP rc1 it won't decrypt. Am I able to flash via fastboot or anyone have an idea why no matter how many times I reboot I can't decrypt? I keep seeing issues with rc2 and everyone saying to just keep rebooting, just not sure if i'm missing something.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
Why do you need to do this so badly out of curiosity? File explorers don't work because the typical mount command cannot remount as r/w, even from terminal/ADB shell. Believe it has to do with system being mounted differently (and not through/proc/mount) using this root process.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Works fine with SuperSU and Solid Explorer.

I'm in Canada there is no YouTube red so I use patched YouTube apk. The way to install it is make YouTube folder in system/app and place the apk there, give it right permissions and reboot.

If I can't do that with root then the root is not needed for me.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
That would work for super su and any root explorer, just not magisk.

I'm not entirely sure, but you could possibly do that through the file explorer built into TWRP from recovery. I know at one time getting system changes to stick from TWRP was a problem, but that was when it first came out for Pixel, and I don't know if that's still the case.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Hmm that's not a bad idea. I will give it a shot.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kevinmmord:
I've had this problem when rebooting too. I don't know the cause, but lowering completely off and booting into recovery works.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Atemi1337:
Wow it didn't even cross my mind to actually turn it off instead if rebooting. Thanks, i'll give it a shot!

Edit: still no dice. Thanks for the idea though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nicknoxx:
I have had to reboot into recovery three or four times on occasion to get it to decrypt
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] piccit:
Try RC2
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
If you feel like getting your device wiped. Happend to me twice.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Atemi1337:
Exactly why I'm trying to work through with rc1. Everything was fine until March security update.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
You can use FX file explorer with root add-on. it can remount from the app. I use it. works perfectly.

@flar2 I think the new update on EKM app has a bug in boosting the earpiece and microphone volume. the bug is two part first: even if I have "apply at boot" checked the boost value drops down to 0db. If I try to increase the boost value manually and back out of the app, speaker stops working (I kept playing music in the background and the music stopped coming) I tried changing the volume and pause/resume music, no dice. I made a call and see if the speakerphone works, it didnt. Can you please look into it? It only started happening after the new update of app to v3.09
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
I can't reproduce the sound issue, it all works normally and applies on boot. There was no change to sound settings in the last update.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
Hmm! Sorry I forgot to mention that I also have magisk installed. I dont know if that changes anything. No other modifications are installed. I can get you changelog if you want.

EDIT: Funny, it stopped happening.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
Has anybody experimented with blocking the wakelocks through the app? I have no idea what any of them are. I used to use Amplify app through Exposed and that worked really good to give me some extra battery. I was able to find a guide for using it though, so I had a better idea about what I was blocking or just slowing down.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Unless you notice a problem with one of these keeping your phone awake, you can just leave them alone.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] doubleho:
hi does anyone have the job.delay and job.deadline alarms wakelock?

I m not sure its caused by nougat or what,didn't experience that before
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oface82:
I know I'm pretty late with this answer but what works for me is going under the mount tab and unmounting everything but internal data then rebooting back into recovery
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Atemi1337:
Still no dice for me. Data is the only thing that is selected when I go and check under Mounted. Tick System, still nothing, untick data, still nothing, reboot with just system ticked just goes back to what it was. I'm going to wait for April's update and do the whole process again and see if that fixes it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mac796:
Sometimes it helps me to boot into recovery from bootloader mode. I read some people have better luck going into recovery from being completely powered down
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oface82:
yep. Im actually in that exact situation right now so I guess I jinxed myself haha
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
Seems the battery isn't as good for me on 1.08 as the older versions. Same apps and setup. And about the same screen on time. I used to always have about 25-30% left at 7 pm and now I'm having to give it a charge to help me make it through the night. Anybody else seeing this or is it just me?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
It's just you. My battery has been extremely consistent for all versions of the kernel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
Please share you setup with us. for example: cpu min/max freq and governer, gpu min/max freq and governer, wakelock blocks, battery monitor on/off, and gestures
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
All default except sweep2wake up. I always use the battery monitor to keep an eye on things.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
You use stock cpu governors, not the elementalx ones?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Definitely. The sched gov is awesome.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
I got your app and spotted them governors and assumed that's what the creator of the kernel would be using.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
No, I never even finished the elementalx gov for big.LITTLE.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kxf41:
Well I've been using both gov settings on elementalx since day one and everything's been really great, but I've switched both to sched now I'll see if I notice any differences.

Thanks for a great kernel and app.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mikeprius:
Using Elemental X on my Pixel and so far working pretty good like my Nexus 5X. Does the backlight dimmer work the same way for amoled and LCD ? I really enjoy that feature the most esp when I am winding down at night and using my phone in bed for me anyway it makes a big difference.

I saw your post on if the Google Pixel was a failure. I have only seen one other person with a Pixel and that was right after the launch, all the other phones that look like Pixels were actually iPhones upon second glance. I think Google should just keep the product as it was with Nexus......more of a cult product since they make all their money in advertising anyways. The price increase and launch of the Pixel was supposed to be a competitive flagship...instead it's constantly out of stock, they had a speaker issue which went unaddressed until recently (the initial phones had the crackling), etc.........despite being a big company they seem to still lack direction despite this being their 9th phone released. This phone they felt was their opportunity to play aggressively like everyone else in the smartphone market and it's just coming off as confused. I'd expect issues from OnePlus or Nextbit, but for a company as large as Google they still come off very directionless. I don't know how much money they are actually making on the smartphones, but they should stick with what they do best (advertising) and what brings in the most money and just leave the smartphone business to others.....and just keep the phone as a niche market in the past....just my opinion.

btw what happened to the Nexus 5X that you had that went to a bootloop ? Did you fix it ?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
I recently heard they sold about 2.1 million units. I think the phone has been a huge success for them and people know they're great phones whether they can purchase one or not. I bet the next iteration sells even better and begins cutting into other markets eventually. It takes time to make people consider anything but Samsung and Apple but this was a solid start!

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
Sorry if this is a noob question, but what is the proper way to get up and running with elemental x? I'm currently rooted on pure Nexus.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Flash the kernel zip in twrp
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
That's it? Don't have to flash the rom again or anything?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
Nope. Flash TWRP (if coming from stock), flash rom/GApps (if doing custom rom), flash TWRP again, flash SuperSU, flash Elemental X.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robocuff:
That's all you should have to do. If you're already rooted, don't flash SuperSU again. It's all in the OP.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
Im confused, which one is it? Do I need to flash the rom again or no?

The OP isnt much help, it just says not to flash SU.

Sorry, just dont want to get stuck in a bootloop or something.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robocuff:
You don't have to flash the ROM again.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:

You're welcome. Sorry about the confusion.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
No worries! IF you dont mind one other question, what is the proper order when starting from scratch, for flashing rom/su/kernel?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] WhiteBoy997:
One question in order to flash do you need to be rooted? Or is it fine to flash and not be rooted at all
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
The order I gave is the general process I follow when flashing a custom rom, root, kernel, etc. You can flash SuperSU before or after Elemental X, it shouldn't matter.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
You can flash the kernel and not be rooted but you will have less options during the aroma installation and obviously won't be able to use exkm.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tacofart:
Thanks for your help! Just flashed it, was super easy. Is there any benefit to the stock vs default (fiops) scheduler? Searched the thread for an answer but didnt see anything.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
Couldn't tell you, sorry. :\ Never looked into it before myself. Maybe this page would help?

Thanks for the fast update!!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pumm3l:
This is all new to me so just wanted to clarify a couple of things. I have a verizon pixel with unlocked bootloader on stock firmware & recovery, I unlocked the bootloader when I first got the phone just in case I wanted to mess with it and I'm interested in trying out this kernel to get android pay working. I don't have TWRP installed but it looks like I can just flash the kernel manually using fastboot. I did some searching regarding OTA updates and it looks like I just have to flash back to factory kernel before I go to update then OTA will install and I can flash back the elementalx kernel once it gets updated for the new OTA, is this right?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] dev70194:
In most cases yes, you will have to flash to stock before updating.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rookie1082:
If you flash the ROM again you'll just be installing the ROMs kernel over elemental.

[MENTION=3833733]kxf41[/MENTION] - I just went ahead and installed it to test (figured I could roll back to 1.08) and everything seems to be working. I figured the EX kernel manager app wouldn't be trying to download and install it if the ROM wasn't compatible. ?

I see you mentioned it randomly started working again. Do you have any insights on what you have tried to get both speakers working?

Thanks mate!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robocuff:
The pixel only has one speaker. It's on the left. The thing you see on the right that looks like another speaker is a microphone.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
Never had any here, but if you reflash the factory image minus the -W in the flash all file you'll be completely stock with all your data in tact.

This kernel is guaranteed 100% stable, never had a reboot on this phone even during development and I've made no changes that would cause instability.

You can find the stock kernel in the factory images from Google.
