Battery is good enough on the Pixel (I have the XL) soI don't use any powersaving modes.

The Android powersave can do more, since it's built in.

Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] this is the best kernel out there but I can get android pay to work on this kernel after the 26U update. I tried with fresh update, with and without su
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Safetynet probably got patched
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
It worked with patched stock kernel although I lost root and when I installed SuperSu 2.79 SR2 android pay stopped working.

I installed stock patched kernel again, booted, remove super su app, installed elementalX, booted. android pay doesnt work but I have root (cuz adblock and greenify-root mode works) without supersu app. I am quite confused. Does elementalx install su binary?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unhappybirthday:
Check your kernel in settings to see if you are running elemental. It is possible you have booted from a different slot...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rohitece06:
my kernel version says

Android Pay doesn't work on a rooted device. Nor with an unlocked bootloader as of recently. This kernel has a patch that's able to, thank God, hide the unlocked state of the bootloader. AP will then work, but not with root.

I hear you, been there done that with no phone till I get to a computer. I thought I seen a few people report success with the combo. But it's hearsay at this point.

We leave in 9 minutes, but screw it, here goes nothing...

EDIT

: Success. Install went smoothly and the phone booted right back up. So far everything is running perfectly and, most importantly, the sweep to wake/sleep gestures are working flawlessly.

Don't flash, my phone bootloader then counted down and blew up lol........ Jk flash went will work great good

Hey, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], when you set a custom color profile, it gets wiped when you switch on night mode, and switch it back off. Anyway to get around that?

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] geoff5093:
Working great on PureNexus! I did notice that in the app, the governor settings don't stick on reboot. Trying to set it to conservative to help the phone run cooler, as it got very hot on the stock PureNexus kernel when in use.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
I am bootloader unlocked, with TWRP RC1 installed and PureNexus. I have super SU latest build on my phone. What is the preferred order of things in order to root and install this ROM? (1) Flash SuperSU and then kernel? (2) Install kernel and then SuperSU?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
SuperSU first to have more options during the aroma installation, but it will work if you flash kernel first.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
Thanks! I just flashed.

Has anyone tried the overclocked (true speed of 821) frequencies for the large cluster? Is it stable? Impact battery much? I am trying now. :)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aholeinthewor1d:
I've only ever messed with custom kernels a few times years back. Is there any basic things I need to know or it it pretty straightforward? Just flash and I'm good.. I'm running Pure Nexus rooted also. I'm not worried snout Android pay. Thanks!

Flash away. I would start with stock settings in aroma installer and you will need a kernel manager to tweak. EX kernel manager or kernel auditor.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
Stupid question: I overclocked the kernel and have had some reboots; can I just reinstall right over the existing one by flashing the kernel in TWRP again? I'd like to try stock frequencies and see if I still get reboots.

These are my scores with elemental 1.03. I am over clocked with performance governors on big and little clusters. Am also running PN rom. Everything is stable so far. Battery has taken a little bit of a hit, but not to bad.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] geoff5093:
I feel like I'm the only one that actually underclocked haha. Even at 1900MHz for the big cluster the phone still flies.

Can anyone tell me any settings that they've used that showed good battery life. What governor's for big and LITTLE and did you change anything in the screen settings?

Do someone have problems with video recording?

Hey guys,

I have some problems with the camera. I can take pictures with the main Camera but not Video. I get a green screen, the front cam working without problems. I delete the camera app files and do a reboot it do not work. I'm on lastest factory image with SuperSU v2.79SR2 + EX Kernel 1.03

Edit: I try Instagram and when I press the video capture button it get green too -.-
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kingkong0821:
Just curious can the sweep2sleep set to just swing 2 buttons? Now it is working fine, just would be more convenient for my short finger lol
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
I've been having a problem with the phone waking up in my pocket and calling people, opening apps, getting into settings... I've been trying to narrow it down by turning on/off different moves in settings as well as turning on/off gestures in EX kernel mgr. It seems like the double tap to wake in gestures (kernel 1.03) is the one waking the phone up in my pocket. Anybody else seeing this or have a suggestion? I really like the double tap to wake function, but I don't like the phone coming alive and doing its own thing in my pocket.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Use sweep up to wake instead of double tap. Better for many reasons.

Alternatively, use the wake gestures app in my signature. It has an option for pocket detection using the proximity sensor.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Thijssie909:
Sweep up also seems to be working better than sweep down, is that as expected? Sweep up works like always, but with sweep down I have to do multiple swipes sometimes...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MasK:
Speaking of gestures,

The double tap to wake works differently than stock (LG G2/G3/Oneplus/Pixel) where it requires some force, consistency. It does not wake up in your pocket (or not that easily). It's been designed to be robust.

However, the DT2W in this kernel is more like double touch to wake and pretty sensitive. Similar to one of the apps I know in the playStore. Is it possible to implement the original DT2W which is already in Pixel, but force it to work even without a lock screen? That would be perfect :)

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

There's this app called "Gravity Screen" where you can configure your screen to be off when it's in the pocket (uses accelerator and/or proximity sensor). So even with accidental on in pocket, it will turn itself off to prevent further "touches".

I works well to a certain extent. I still have miss-presses once a while, for that split-second when screen turns on in my pocket, but you can try it out. It may work for you.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Sweep down shouldn't be any more difficult. Make sure you start the sweep from the top half of the screen.

It's not possible to do much with the stock gesture. Only one of my gestures or the stock gesture can be enabled, they can't both be enabled at the same time. Double tap is just not a great gesture to do in code, that's why I recommend you use sweep up to wake instead.

Also, the wake gestures app in my signature will work best for pocket detection, and won't cause battery drain.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MasK:
I did test out sweep up (and now sweep down) and I remember why I chose double tap.

Where your finger ends during the sweep gesture can turn into a tap right after it wakes, causing an app to launch, if your finger lands over a shortcut.

Not sure if there's a way round this.

Your gestures app, is it standalone or supposed to work with this kernel?

Will check it out. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

EDIT:

Just tried out the Wake Gestures app.

It works without the kernel setting and is independent. What I love about this is that the pocket detection works great, as it it prevents the screen from turning on, instead of my previous solution of using Gravity Screen, which locks it back after screen is on in your pocket.

I think this will totally prevent accidental wakes/taps in your pocket. I'm still pretty inclined to stick to double tap :o

Thanks a lot! :good:

[MENTION=6616305]Droid1019[/MENTION]

Check out the app. Prolly will solve your issues too!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Droid1019:
Started using your wake gestures app today with swipe up and dbl tap to wake and so far so good on the pocket wakeup issue. Thank you for that. Is there any way around the phone waking up to the lock screen? I really hate having a pin anyway (gotta have it for fingerprint scanner to work) and the smart lock that's built in is hit or miss with miss winning out most of the time.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
I don't think I can bypass the lockscreen. I used to have a hacky workaround, but Google just doesn't let you do that anymore.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maflin18:
Will this improve battery life by much (compared to stock kernel) if I leave everything set to their defaults?

Don't need any extra features (gestures, audio, etc) as I'm running PureNexus and WETA audio mod.

Sorry for off topic, but what substratum theme are you using?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sanogueralorenzo:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Thank you for this kernel.

Just installed it with PN. Min. brightness doesn't go to the min unless adaptive brightness is enabled (AFAIR this also happens on franco's kernel).

Also noticed Aroma doesn't show many options. I normally disable all gestures (I love to use them in the past though). Fortunately for me S2W and DT2W aren't working out of the box.

Unfortunately Sweep 2 Sleep is still there and conflicts with the one handed mode gesture from PN. Will it be as an option on Aroma soon? Will there be more aroma options in the future (like the N7 2013 has) or are you planning to keep it like this?

Was planning to get your kernel app but can't have root because I rely quite a lot on android pay for convenience. Its quite hard to not root with all of the ads around.

What exactly is: High Brightness Mode?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
You can only change those options with root. If you root, they will show up in aroma.

HBM makes the display really bright so you can see it in direct sunlight, like Samsung devices. This also requires root.

Unfortunately, lots of good thing require root.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] sanogueralorenzo:
True! Just had a go with root SR3 and played around with your kernel. Wanted to try to get Android Pay to work again so installed adaway and uninstalled root and reflashed your kernel.

No luck on that :D if I don't find something in the upcoming days I guess I will have to make a decision :(
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
Where is the high brightness option? I'm rooted but didn't see it in aroma.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
High brightness is not something you want all the time. You only turn it on if you can't see the screen. Check out HBM Widget on my signature
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
Oh I see. I thought it was an automatic thing when the brightness around you got too high (much like the Samsung phones it is mimicking). I'll check it out, thanks!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
The widget mimics the Samsung behavior. We have a Samsung AMOLED panel, but no hbm, so I added the capability in the kernel. Since it's not part of stock, hbm will never get used without something like the widget.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
I just bought the widget. Do you not recommend having it on auto due to battery drain? Or is auto fairly safe? I assume it won't come on until it's very bright where I'm at?

On the kernel topic: I was looking into your kernel EX app. Are there perks of that app that make it worth purchasing, beyond the normal kernel control apps? I use kernel adiutor currently. I know you're biased, but I want to be sold on it anyway. :D
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
For the widget, double tap it to turn on auto mode and it will automatically come on when necessary. I don't recommend leaving it on all the time because the brighter the screen, the more likely to get burn in over the long term. It would also use more battery and is really too bright for most situations.

EX Kernel Manager offers:

-a very nice UI, you will find most settings have are more intuitive, showing a list or range of possible options rather than entering text

-notifies you of kernel updates and allows you to download and install easily, including an express version that keeps all your settings without having to go through the aroma installer

-full options for sweep2sleep, sweep2wake and doubletap2wake

-full sound options, including mic gain, earpiece gain, speaker gain and analog + digital headphone gain for left and right channels, all with full range measured in dB

-save, load, and share governor profiles

-save, load, and share color profiles

-ability to add any custom setting you want

-battery monitor that measures battery properly, in %/hr, separating screen on and screen off

-powersave and performance modes at the click of a button (in quick settings, in the app, or as widgets)

-several unique themes to choose from: Dark, Black, Light, Pink and Paper

-lots and lots of options

-frequent updates and compatibility with all kernels and all devices. You can use it on your other phones even without ElementalX kernel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
Last question: are those performance and powersave one-click modes able to be toggled by Tasker because that would be absolutely amazing.

Edit: In other words, when I'm at work, switch to powersave automatically, or something like that.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Yes, the intents are public and can be used with Tasker
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PsiPhiDan:
SOLD! :D
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
Set it up with tasker, and that's an awesome feature!

Is there anything that can be done that will help the max CPU frequency stick better though? Trying to set it low on power save, but it doesn't stay very long at all. I know there may not be anything that can be done though.

In the future, could power save be potentially set to disable big cluster?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
There are too many things in the system that control cpu frequencies and cores. They are more powerful than a user app (even with root) and will override the app settings. I don't like to force things. Overall, the phone will work better if you go with the grain instead of against it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
I figured that would be the case. Battery life is phenomenal, so not much of a concern anyways.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] robotnikz:

Thanks!! I'll try it. Would u know how to switch from Franco to this? Can I just flash it?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
Best to flash the stock boot.img first.

Today is an update day, so I would recommend doing a full udpate. Download the factory image, unzip, remove the "-w" option from the flash script so it doesn't wipe your phone, flash it in bootloader. Then flash TWRP and SuperSU, then flash ElementalX. Seems like a lot of work, but this is how you get a perfectly functioning phone.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
I was always doing ElementalX and then SuperSU before. Is that switched now? Does it matter?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flar2:
It actually doesn't matter on this device
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pWEN:
Okay, but it's still a relevant question to ask. As it happens, I went and followed his method of SuperSU first, then ElementalX. Everything seems to be fine so far.
