so im on elemental now. I downloaded the factort image. there is a stock boot.img file

How do i flash? what command to use to flash stock? so then i can flash franco kernel : D

I do: fastboot flash boot_a boot.img and it doesn't work

Any help please?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
When you type fastboot devices do you see the s/n?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I know I always sound like a bastard when I say these things, but someone has to, and I'm sorry beforehand but if you're playing with custom roms + custom Kernels it's assumed that you have some sort of experience. Not only the experience is important to go around in fixing problems, but to also be confident when flashing stuff. So I really thing you should read a bit beforehand. This is not a tech support forum. That said, doing fastboot flash boot boot.img should be enough.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mdecker79:
I signed up and installed your beta app for my Pixel. Sorry in advance I did not search this question in your G+ but. I can enable high brightness mode and it does work when I need it to. But once HBM is triggered it never turns itself back off. The only way to drop the brightness back down is to turn my screen off then back on. This reverts my brightness back to the normal brightness until HBM is triggered again. I didn't know if this was by design or not?

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], the change log link appears to be broken. Is there any chance you may implement double tap to wake? Thank you sir.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
It's a permission bug. Since I haven't messed with the ramdisk (where I change the node permission on the go) the file doesn't have the necessary permission. Although I'll work around it in the app.

I know, I haven't uploaded the changelog file. I can "unlock" the stock double tap to wake code and leave to the users to enable it or not yes, but that's it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] varun.gid:
Haha! It's ok a bro! Thank you for ur help! I guess i had some fastboot issue! And on that note.. the combination of so called 'Bastards' or the 'extra helpful' ones is what makes XDA so amazing. It's from Devs like you and others we learn stuff and i know sometimes we ask to much support, your time and patience is much appreciated!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] qwer777:
I don't see high brightness mode in FKupdater settings. How did you do that?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mdecker79:
Its under settings from the menu.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CerB:
dammit, cant wait for custom recovery to come around, just got this baby today, damn its a nice phone compared to all the nexus phones i had.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
It's a great phone indeed!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jayfried:
I just watched high brightness mode enabler do its thing and it is awesome. In direct sunlight I can see the screen easily whereas before pixel screen was difficult to impossible to see.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
It's awesome.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] qwer777:
I'm on beta 5 and I can't find it anywhere.

I only have the following sections in the settings and it's not under any of them: Theme, Per-App Profiles, Misc, and Play Games.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] vng10:
No need to reflash root after flashing kernel? Just want to confirm.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I don't control any of that, Google controls the VR frequencies and sustained performance from their userspace HALs.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Freak07:
This behaviour is defined in the power hal. I had this a few times. Wait a few minutes, use your phone and it will set itself back to stock max.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] little update with the added optional wakelock toggles you included in the last update, I have seen a tremendous increase in battery life. Getting an extra 90-120 mins out of my phone and phone is sipping barely any battery when not in use.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SB1990:
Is that with wifi or LTE predominantly on?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
Wifi scanning set to off and never on unless plugged in/ and LTE on 24/7 with crappy reception at work and home.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Good, that's the intended behavior :)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
Thank you sir!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] whitlecj:
I am assuming we turn these switches "on" so that they are yellow in the app? Wording has me a little confused. Thanks!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
it says if its enabled, and i think only 2 are not enabled by default.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I improved the wakelocks descriptions on the latest app update, it's very self explanatory. Are you on the latest update?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] whitlecj:
I don't think so. I will update and have another look. Thanks.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SB1990:
Hey FF...do you notice the vibration on the Pixel is a little low? I use vibration primarily, especially for calls and alarms, and find the vibration somewhat soft, despite setting the haptic level in your app to 100. Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] b4u2:
Okay nobody shoot me here. this is the first phone I have rooted on Verizon and I am super rusty (noob). The main thing I want to try is a custom kernel. I want to try this one. What, exactly do I need to do. I am already unlocked. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] joetheshmo:
Read the first post
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] b4u2:
Okay just wanted to be sure it was still relevant. I will work on flashing it now.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Looks fine to me here!

New Naptime 3.2 release

In the quest for perfecting Android's Doze mode and injecting all your devices with outstanding battery life during idle I've pushed a new release of my app which gives you a great feature if you don't want/cant' disable motion sensors.

Here's a better explanation, copy pasta from the app's What's new section:

Introduced a new feature to re-apply Doze after an wakeful event (motion detection, some app that fires an wakeful alarm and doesn't properly terminate, priority GCM messages that wakeup the device for longer than needed, etc). It'll re-apply Doze ~1 minute after the wakeful event. It's less intrusive than disabling motion sensors altogether.

This feature and disabling sensors are mutually exclusive for obvious reasons.

There's probably a bug or two in there that I haven't caught, so let me know!

Naptime is free, so download it asap: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] SB1990:
What serves as the max level? I seem to be able to infinitely input numbers
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
100 is the max.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] schaggo:
I cannot confirm this claim so far.

From the time the screenshot has been taken, it's been ~5h since I last used Daydream VR and before that somewhere around ~24h.

It seems my pixel got stuck at 1209MHz on all cores since, well since a day basically. Explains the lagging I experienced today, especially after unlocking.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I think you should report that to Google, it's outside of what I can do.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] b4u2:
So I am unlocked and flashed Fastboot flash kernel fk-r11.gz but I am not rooted. Will I still benefit from this kernel or do I need to go deeper? I really just want to try this kernel. I bought the app but I can't use it since I am not rooted.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DD3Boh:
Nice kernel
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
You don't need root unless you want to use rooted apps. Thanks for the purchase though!

Pushed r11 for Android Nougat 7.1.2 beta: https://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Pixel/7.1.2/fk-11
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Franco is it possible for you to add a lower brightness mode from stock for really dark rooms. EX does it and it would really be cool if it's not too much work.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Not sure what you're asking. Backlight dimmer? If that's what you're asking then it's already in the Kernel.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] taylor.fowler:
Not sure if anyone has tested this yet but my Pixel DID NOT like it. Partially because of some user error on my part, i think, but maybe not.

So first, I unlocked BL (device wiped and i forgot to back everything up. Whoops.) and at first i thought we had to extract the image before flashing so I did that (incorrectly) and flashed. That pops me back on to 7.1.1 for some reason. OK, nbd. Do the OTA upgrade, restart. Flash kernel (still archived in .gz format) in fastboot, go to boot up. On 7.1.1 again somehow and acore, pixel launcher, and phone services are freaking out (but the kernel in Settings -> About looked correct). I had to flash the factory image for 7.1.2 (and wipe again), and do another OTA (security patch im assuming since it was only ~ 300 MB.

I havent tried to flash the kernel again since i'd like to avoid yet another wipe. Is this weird behavior due to the weird a/b partition thing this phone has got going on? Has anyone else flashed r11 on the 7.1.2 beta successfully?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] グリッチ:
I'm not on 7.1.2 but since you've already unlocked your BL, and (seemingly) have a fully functioning stock 7.1.2, then just reboot into bootloader and follow the commands in op, it won't wipe anything. Just make sure you use latest fastboot to flash.

iirc, if you want to root, flash the kernel first, then boot (or flash if you want) twrp and flash the zip.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] taylor.fowler:
Yeah, it was *seemingly* fully functioning 7.1.2 when I flashed it correctly, but i think i hadn't rebooted since the OTA installed and maybe that was the issue? I'm good on rooting, just wanted to see if this kernel squeaked some extra battery life out of it.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
Once in a while, I've had similar issues, but not just with this kernel, and not just kernels in general - on all sorts of flashes on several different phones. My guess, based on the behavior, is corruption in the file system on /data, as a wipe usually does the trick to fix. You'll probably be fine if you try again; it's a rare occurrence.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
A dimmer lowest brightness setting from stock for dark rooms.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
The panel is already in the lowest possible minimum value.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Thanks for reply. Another kernel has it lower somehow. Not a big deal, was just wondering.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Show me.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] b4u2:
Not sure really where to ask but I'll try in this thread.

I'm a gamer. I play games on my phone. It's what I do. SO I try to keep the phone running cool and memory free to keep the games running smooth. Any other people like me that have some settings they would share in order to set mine up better? Battery life, free RAM, and cpu would be a good start. Any help appreciated or even pointing me in the right direction.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
How can I show you? Elemental X has it. Enable it in the app or during install. Brightness is noticeably lower from stock. I'm back to your kernel but if there is something I can do let me know.

Like I said not a big deal, just when I had the kernel installed I thought the option was cool. You do need root to enable it though.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I think you're talking about backlight dimmer. Is that right?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I think I replied to your G+ post. Did you see it?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Yes it dims lower then stock brightness. So at the lowest slider position it's dimmer then stock screen brightness.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Ok, as I replied before, I already have backlight dimmer in the Kernel since day 1.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Lol I give up man. Your dimmest level is same as stock. The ex goes below that. It's much dimmer then stock. Great for dark rooms.

I do prefer your kernel and I donated at least 3 times. Anyway seems we are not on the same page. It's not a huge deal anyway.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
You can turn off the screen to reach maximum dim mode

But it's experimental
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Taebom:
Definitely not the same as stock. I had to disable it myself because I like the brightness of stock.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maflin18:
I too can say it's definitely not the same as stock. Used it several times in the theater because it goes much darker than stock. Very useful.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Legacystar:
Can you add the safety net patch so we can use tap to pay? There is another kernel doing this, but it's not updated as often as yours
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
That's pretty much been always included in this kernel...
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
From flar2's Kernel repository: https://github.com/flar2/marlin/commit/ed5cad48f457d4136a6730c81f6170480f51d9d2

From FK's repository: https://github.com/franciscofranco/marlin/commit/c02b3cb976c4979e5fccc97910ffb7c0f6c19d63

Source code doesn't lie. There's no other change in the panel driver, device tree configuration files related to display brightness or anything remotely close to it. What you're reffering is Backlight Dimmer, which I've been saying since you first asked ;)

It's included since day 1... It's even written in the OP.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] asad510:
my lights dim pretty well ;)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] if possible on the next update can you disable all wakelocks by default. I dont want to root my device since i use AP, and unfortunately the pixel still cant use the power saving profiles.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
If he did that, he could end up breaking something for everybody. It's not clear what some of these wake locks even do at this point.

Two potential solutions for you:

1. Build kernel from source with changes you want

2. Try one of the two root hide methods found on these forum pages, Suhide and magisk. There are specific Pixel directions and files for both. Magisk does pass all safety checks I can confirm, and Android Pay did let me add a card (although I haven't made a payment yet to confirm that for sure).
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kinesics:
did you use franco's with magisk?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] danaff37:
I've gone back and forth between elemental and Franco's, although honestly haven't tried Franco's since I've been on magisk. But if stock and elemental work, I am sure Franco's does. Might try tonight for the heck of it though
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Taebom:
I think they are all disabled by default, you can choose to enable them with FKUpdater.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
I can't see any difference too between lowest stock vs backlight dimmer on (or off) in FKU.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maflin18:
Same. That's because, as other users have stated, backlight does not get any darker than stock with FK. If you are someone who could use a dimmer-than-stock screen regularly, use EX kernel. That has what you're looking for.

Note: you will need to be rooted to take advantage of summer screen with EX.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] グリッチ:
Waiting for update for 7.1.2 build that's releasing before updating :)

Thanks Franco
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TonikJDK:
Couple of pages back he released a kernel for 7.1.2 based on the beta. I am running it on the full release of 7.1.2 and it is fine so far.

http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TENN3R:
I think changelog in OP is broken
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GigabitEthernet:
Will this kernel enable band locking on the Pixel: does it enable debug mode?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I don't know what you're talking about.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
r12 is out. Support for 7.1.2 and improved wakelock blocking capabilities to save you from some nasty annoying wakeups.

Was working on AK2 support with [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] until late at night but we're still stuck on losing root when flashing the Kernel through recovery which shouldn't happen.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] milan187:
Thanks, hoping you guys get that resolved soon.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] peikojose:
Has anyone tested r12 with latest PureNexus 7.1.1 (03/17/17)
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
I strongly suggest against running r12 on non-7.1.2 builds.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] th3cavalry:
So I'm having an issue taking the 7.1.2 update OTA. I keep getting "installation problems ."

I have r11 and I'm wondering if that's why it won't install.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TonikJDK:
Yea, not going to take the OTA normally if you are modded. Sideload the full ota with ADB or flash the full image. Remove the -w from the flashall bat file so you don't wipe your data.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
That's what happens when you run custom changes on your device... just get the OTA and flash it on the recovery, it won't wipe anything.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] Is there a specific reason to keep fk-13 in a different directory (parent directory of 7.1.2)?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GigabitEthernet:
You cannot lock LTE bands on the stock firmware because debug mode is not set as one of the flags. I was wondering if this is a kernel level modification and hence if this kernel would enable it?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Abigailrup:
How do i flash it? It's a weird file type. It doesn't even show up in TWRP.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jmartin72:
Did you not read the OP?? It tells you exactly how to do it. :-/
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
I am on 7.1.2. R13 from yesterday and today phone froze while opening google camera (had to hard reset), but I don't have a log. Couple hours later, phone suddenly slowed down and became unresponsive within a few seconds. I had to do hard reset.

Don't know if it is kernel related.

Log attached.

[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cbusm30:
The same thing happened to me today and is chugging and locking up as I write this. I was on the latest 7.1.2 factory​ image for a while with no issues. Then I jumped over to the Verizon "k" build and flashed this kernel. Seemed ok for a day.

Are you also using the Verizon build?
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
I am on E build.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
Today same lagging again. Noticed that process kswapd0 took around 20% CPU. I have waited few minutes and phone became normal again and no kswapd0 consuming CPU anymore. Now I have flashed r12 to test.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
Device froze while scanning bar code with myfitnesspal. Hmm. Never happened before. I am starting to suspect 7.1.2.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cbusm30:
I dropped back down to stock. I'll see how it goes. One wired thing I've noticed is in the phone app. Sometimes, the recent call history and voicemail tabs are unresponsive, but the dialer and contacts work just fine. If I wait a bit or reboot, everything is fine. That was while using Franco. I use this thing for work, so when things get weird, it's a big deal.

On the other hand, my battery life with the Franco kernel was amazing and felt very snappy! Very much appreciate the hard work!
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TonikJDK:
I dropped back to stock yesterday. I have opened a bunch of apps multiple times, cant get it to freeze.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
Kswapd0 process killed my device already twice today on r12. Will return to stock when I return home.

It reminds me issues on Nexus5 with kernels above r85 when I had to adjust swappiness to prolong period before it has started to lag.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cbusm30:
Is it really necessary to have virtual memory with 4 gigs of RAM? Suppose it doesn't hurt
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] phishfi:
Ever since r12, I've had hiccups that cause my phone to completely freeze to the point of needing to restart. Same on r13.

I just tried to take a photo while in a phone call. The phone is completely frozen. ADB sees the device, but the ADB reboot-bootloader command just hangs...

I'm on VZW's latest build, and ElementalX works without any hangs like this. Any recommendations are much-appreciated.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ssglackey:
We have to wait for Franco to fix it.

As I wrote, I saw this behavior on Nexus5 with all kernels above r85. Unfortunately for me, it didn't get solved before I switched to Pixel
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Taebom:
The freezing and reboot issue has been plaguing the XL forums for a while now. We just have to wait for Franco to push a update, it started on r12 and continued on r13. R11 seems to be the one that works okay with 7.1.2.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] maflin18:
Freezing and reboot issue has happened to me a few times in the past month or so. However, I have been running ElementalX during that period so this issue is not specific to Franco kernel
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] franciscofranco:
Pushed r14, small maintenance release.
[Google Pixel ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] trizzv:
Is it ok to use for 7.1.1

I'm still on r11 and haven't updated cause of all the comments
