That's because I'm not shipping the AK2 package, which is needed to inject the init.performance_profiles.rc I use. osm0sis told me AK2 should work now, I'm gonna try it this weekend - struggling to find time for everything.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
No problem sir, just making sure it wasn't an error on my phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
sorry for the newb question but i've asked this in its own thread and didn't really get an answer but wanted to know am i able to disable force encryption with this kernel? (pixel xl) and if not. what is needed to allow the pixel's to turn off forced encryption?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
You don't disable force encryption with FK. There's absolutely no point in doing that.

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 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
ah. i thought it was a kernel thing that is not allowing the ability to disable force encryption. i remember when i had a nexus 6. a custom kernel was needed to disable it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
No. You need a modification in the fstab, not in the Kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Valkyrie743:
ah damn. ok thanks :).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
There's no reason to un-encrypt the Pixels though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Samg381:
This may be a bit off-topic, but could someone explain why the root installed on my Pixel is systemless? I can't seem to remember enabling systemless mode while rooting. Is this default for all pixels. If so, why?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
systemless means it didn't modify /system partition to achieve root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Samg381:
Thanks. Is this the default method for all pixel devices now? Just wondering if "conventional" rooting is still possible on the pixel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Don't know. As long as it works I couldn't care less :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I do not believe the old fashioned system root works on our phones. Our partitions are different, some of them have been combined. Not an expert here, its complicated as heck though. I do know SU detects phone type and picks for you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] smallsmx301:
So does Android pay work with systemless
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Not out of the box. Below is a thread on some mods that seem to work. But I have not paid much attention to the issue.

Everything running smooth on the beta sir, thank you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DroidForLife33:
I'm having a little problem. I'm on the beta build with Franco kernel. Stock no root stock recovery. I'm​ trying to flash the stock bootloader so I can take the new beta update. I keep seeing this in cmd window.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Your using a kernel command to flash a bootloader?

fastboot flash bootloader, would be more appropriate.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
You are using Minimals fastboot. It doesnt know about our partitions or its sizes. Use Google's.

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

Edit... Interesting you path los like google. I may be wrong on this one.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
I also see in your Google search background, are you confusing bootloader with boot? Boot image is the kernel and bootloader is the bootloader. Nothing to do with the kernel. Bootloader just loads the boot image to start your phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cwalker0906:
Yes, it's every kernel, have to reroot
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Whenever you flash a boot.IMG or kernel, it overwrites the superSu boot patch. You have to flash superSu every time. This could change in the future.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
Alright just making sure I'm not crazy.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mike02z:
So nice to see you working on the Pixel XL. Your kernels were always my favorite on my old SGN. Will be flashing tonight. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] psychatog64:
ok im slightly confused i download the fk r1 zip right do i need to extract that then run what command exactly?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guaneet:
No place the file into your adb folder and run "fastboot flash kernel fk-r1.gz"
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] psychatog64:
so leave zip alone dont extract?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] guaneet:
yes, leave it alone. do not extract it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ExcuseTheN00b:
Is s2w or dt2w available on this kernel? I would like to test it out but s2w/dt2w is something I really enjoy.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] psychatog64:
ok perfect thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
The app works. Needs a small patch to support the Pixel, but that's coming in the next 24-48 hours.

Yes, says right on SuperSu's page.

No. And it won't be.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ExcuseTheN00b:
OK thanks for the response. Still gonna flash it because I love your naptime app. Thanks for all your hard work!

Curious if any of you is suffering with IPA_WS wakelock. Saw a coupld users with stock Kernel/Rom having some hard time with that lock. Asking because I'm trying to decide if I should disable it by default on r2.

I was under the impression the bootloader.img has the kernel in it. I'm looking at the stock files of the beta and I do not see boot image in the files.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] siddhesh.raikar:
It's inside the system zip.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Its inside the second zip, inside the first zip. "boot.img"

fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash it.

That did the trick. Thanks for your time and the refresher course.

Downloaded the app and says unsupported device
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
That is just the updater, it just flashes the kernel. That is not supported yet. His other app Franco Kernel Manager Updater is supported, except the update feature in it
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
You can't just try to flash stuff because you're "under the impression". These things are dangerous. Imagine you were flashing the Kernel binary in the bootloader partition because you were under the impression the Kernel binary had the bootloader firmware incorporated?

Make sure you use the platform-tools directly from Google too.

Glad nothing wrong happened there.

yep, it's working on latest official 712

thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Did anyone else lose their HBM panel on 7.1.2 with this kernel...the 7.1.2 beta kernel. I have had this issue off and on. But it has been fine for a couple of months.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
This will be fixed once we get an AnyKernel2 version for our kernel. Last I checked (was a while ago) I believe there was a problem with AK2 on Pixels so it was out of Franco's hands. Whenever that gets fixed I'm sure we will get the kernel not too soon after.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I saw on Twitter that he is also going through the commits from O to see what might apply for us. That will take a bit of time. In the meantime I am certainly good with what we have.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Yea there is a lot more info on his Google Plus = https://plus.google.com/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/2a76QQum68J

Speaking of which [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], are the changes you mentioned in your tweet applicable for the Pixels? Not asking for an ETA or anything, I am just curious. I know there already a few wakelocks being blocked on the Pixels. I just wasn't sure if there are additional ones you are blocking on those phones, or the ones you were already doing on Pixels.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
I must be missing something. Is the official 7.1.2 different than the beta version? I've been waiting for Franco to update the kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
I'm not sure if it's considered "official", but the kernel released for the 7.1.2 beta is working with 7.1.2 update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
Has anyone else experienced a hard crash, followed by a reboot and memory dump? Just happened after answering a call and attempting to switch to my headset. RUnning 7.1.2 with 7.1.2 kernel posted a few weeks ago.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Not I, no issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] 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 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
Working great.. well booted fine and that is a good sign :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Of course it boots fine :highfive:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
Well, you just never know with this kernel...

:D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
This may be like absolutely 0 help for you, but that is already your kernels MO. By that I mean, were I to flash your kernel after rooting, I would lose the root. I always have to

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fashboot flash kernel fk-x
fastboot boot boot-to-root.img

I have just very recently (since last week) started using TWRP (in order to use Magisk and Magisk Hide) so I don't know what happens if your kernel is flashed after TWRP is flashed.

Sorry if you already knew this, was posting just in case.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
Updated to r12, but it says that I'm still on Android version 7.1.1 and on Feb 5 security patch. I guess I need to update to 7.1.2 separately.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Wait, you flashed the kernel on a 7.1.1 firmware and expected to see 7.1.2 or something? :laugh:

Anyone else's phone is freezing and reboots since fk 12? I've made a factory reset and flashed the image. I'm on Stock N2G47J rooted
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
Funny you say that, mine just froze.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Yeah I've had three hard freezes followed by ram dumps. Always when I use something related to the camera.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
Yeah, same. Not with the camera but looking through photos.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Phew, I am glad I am not the only one. After upgrading to 7.1.2 I went straight to FK12 so it may actually be a stock issue, though I have yet to find anything on google/xda/search confirming that it is. I've been trying to capture some logs to figure out whats going on but so far no luck.

It's actually not even a freeze. The phone just REALLY slows down. If you don't reboot you will see your phone continuing what ever it was doing at like 1 frame per minute, until what ever is going on the background clears up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Same here, was looking at photos, also sharing to hangouts. Maybe will go back to r11.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spencer92a:
I'm now back on fk11 and its running seamlessly
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Yep! I've been getting an error message about ramdump to ext4 partition too. Flashed back to r11 for now. Can't get any useful info as I'm out and about :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
That's odd... I've been using the Pixel as main device for the past days, haven't seen anything like it. It's really odd. Will try to understand what it might be. Sorry.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
Certainly no reason to be sorry. You say you've been using it. Have you used the camera at all? I was looking through photos just fine but when I selected one it hard froze.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
You do such good work for no compensation, it's ok to have a slip sometimes, no need to apologize.

I've experienced the same thing as people posted above twice now (7.1.2, fk r12), but I didn't see it tied to using the Camera (I rarely use my camera). It would manifest as mentioned as EXTREME slowness, with screen updates taking a hugely long time to come.

If you need any specific logs, etc. to troubleshoot let me know where they're at on the phone, and I'll grab them when it happens next.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cchant:
I just flashed this without knowing about the possible issue. So far I haven't had any issues. I've been trying to stress it opening many apps, photos, and tabs. So far no issues
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
I haven't personally pinned down any specific reason why it happens. The phone usually runs like a perfect champion, good performance and battery life. Then suddenly it doesn't...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Been using it a lot. Camera, photo app and everything else. No issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Yep, similar to the issue I'm having. I've flashed back to r11 in the meantime. (Running 7.1.2)

Snapchat would 9 times out of 10 cause my phone to either crash and require a hard reboot. Or I'd experience the metal crazy slow down you've outlined :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
Mine isn't related to camera. After a few minutes of usage, phone gets sluggish, then it freezes. I get ramdump and writing to EXT4....
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Ok I think I can reliably reproduce it. For me, it started with the camera as well. But then it started happening in other apps. I think it has something to do with RAM/memory. I just start opening all the apps on my phone and it freezes up really hard. I captured a logcat of the process but I am not sure whether or not a logcat contains sensitive data, so I can PM it to you if you wanna see it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cchant:
Well I said that, and I used the Reddit app and it caused the massive slowdown
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Yes, when many apps are loaded, installing, streaming, it hangs and becomes unresponsive. Soft keys are no longer responsive. Need to reboot and the RAMDUMP screen appears.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Pushed r13. Let me know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Working very well for me so far. Thanks for the quick fix!

Edit: I spoke too soon. I wanna say its an improvement, that it takes longer for the issue to occur but it could just be placebo. Not sure.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spencer92a:
After some testing the phone with fk 13 its freezing and rebooting to rambump again. For my opinion its happening after i opened many apps.

Here's the logcat:

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
Seems snappier than r12. But, r13 also freezed on me as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
I can't see r13 on download page, but I'm going to r11... r1is very unstable .

freezing happens in camera, in games (especially if you have chat and swiftkey opens up)... etc etc

Edit: Found the r12 in the root download folder, but as it has bad reports already.. I'll stick with r11
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Had a couple of crashes / phone reboots with r13 :( Not sure what logs I should grab?? I've had to flash back to r11 in the meantime (again) as much as I'm normally up for helping out I need a stable phone for the next little bit haha :D

I had a similar incident with my phone today but it is on stock 7.1.2 with stock kernel. I flashed the stock image and left it at that as I was going away this week. I used the phone all week without a snag. Today I was driving for several hours using maps/android auto and navigation. I stopped at a restaurant for lunch, unplugged my phone & went to check up on the news. As soon as I hit the power button it came on then went off & wouldn't respond. After about 30 seconds it went to what looked like stock recovery but with the memory dump message. It then rebooted. I used it the rest of the day without incident but I thought of what I'd read here & wanted you to know this happened to me with the stock setup. I've never had this happen before and it's more troubling for me when it happens on a stock setup. I'll probably do a clean reinstall & see how that goes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] swiss_knife77:
I've had the same exact issue on r12 a few times, but it has been running great the last few days (r12). I'm going to give r13 a shot and hope for the best.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
I too just installed r13 to see how it goes. So far all is well. Will try to stress it more. I'm stock rooted btw.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nitemare3219:
Flashed r12 last night and had an issue this morning. Woke my phone to reply via notification shade, and was stuttering extremely hard. Opened my Nest app to check something, hit the home key, and the phone froze completely. Forced restart and it booted to ext4 dump message.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Its definitely freezing because its out of memory. If you use the system monitor built in to FK Update or download one from the Play Store, the phone will slowly creep up to ~97% at which point it will start freezing. You can alleviate the issue by clearing recent apps and keeping an eye on the memory. Obviously not a permanent solution, but if your like me and can't downgrade at the moment, its better than nothing.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I concur. I just opened 6 or 8 apps quickly and watched the memory climb right up until it crashed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
like everyone else, r13 freezes up after opening many apps :/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Yup I tried r13 and it was freezing completely after a while. Reverted to r11 and is back to normal.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:
Just out of curiosity, can everyone with the "slowness" double check to see that sdcardfs isn't enabled if coming from another custom kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Fuse for me. Why do you ask?

Edit: I have only ever used stock kernel and FK.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Stock, Franco and root here. No major mods, just adaway and Substratum.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
I'm coming from stock 7.1.2 so no custom kernel settings to carry over from.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Queentus:
hey guys, I switched to Kirisakura Kernel after seeing your feed back about r13's freezing up, turns out that my Pixel XL freezes up too when there's many app running in the background. So maybe I think the freezing up has something to do w/ the 7.1.2?
