I wanted TWRP installed and root so I'm not sure about the shorter method. That sounds like it should work.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
haven't tried with vbs, didn't had time and now going on a 4 day trip, so even less time lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
FYI gang, I saw in Twitter that Franco is out of town this week so it will be a bit for the June update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Hmm, in the meantime the May kernel works on the June release, you tried, or anyone else?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I have not, traveling tomorrow so not risking it. Just gonna run stock Kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
r15 works fine on June build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
So just flash the kernel binary from ADB, then flash the VBS and done?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
I'm pretty sure that if you're not installing twrp, you don't even need to flash vbs.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Have you tested this? I would imagine flashing a kernel inside the boot.img (which is how its done on Pixels) would cause the image to become unsigned. I am speculating though, I am still on March update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
When I ran the June update, flashed fk, then went to flash vbs, it said the image is already signed. I can't do it again now as my brother has my unlocked Pixel out in Las Vegas for the next week while I'm stuck with a Verizon Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
I just flashed everything without signing anything. I was under the impression altering the boot image in any way would negate the original signature.

Flashed DU (Which is signed)

Twrp RC1

SuperSU 2.82

Custom Kernel

Flashed all that without signing a thing. No VBS.zip.

Going to try another rom now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I would bet your kernel is signed. If it is SU will re-sign it. If it isn't you have to VBS.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
DU and PN have signature keys. I just flashed Unholy without signing. I was under the impression that any & all alterations to the boot image requires signing it. Also flashed Sharkey R7 on DU and Unholy without signing. Haven't tried June stock yet without signing. Very strange.

Edit: All with SuperSU 2.82

2.82 RC1 doesn't allow reboot into Twrp. Goes to Ram dump everytime
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
From what I am reading it sounds like a stock device with unlocked bootloader only should have no issues running r15.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jlee08517:
June bootloader doesn't require vbs anymore. So it doesn't matter if the ROM or kernel is signed
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Where is Franco by the way? Could we expect a June release from him? Or has he sold Pixel? Will sell mine in that case too :p
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
The guy's not working 24/7 on Franco kernel. How did you jump to the conclusion of him selling the pixel? :eek: Lol

Shouldn't expect anything tbh, it's free work he's doing for us :) plenty of devices to maintain, I think he's on holiday at the moment. But as you can see, the May release is working fine with June's image. The next release will come when it comes - as will July, august, android O, etc ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Dear god! XDA people don't even get jokes nowadays! Nice.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Pretty bad joke, ngl :')

I've not seen you around here, how am I supposed to know your humour :) I'm used to seeing nothing but real crap like that, so I'm sure you can understand why I didn't see it as a joke
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
Franco's g+ says he's back on Monday
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I think he's taking some time off on the French Riviera. The weather is good and the water is so blue!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Yes he shared some pictures of this BLUE water on Twitter but he is at home since monday so we can expect an update soon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mike489:
Are there any other kernels compatible with pixel dust? I keep getting random reboots with the default kernel
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] f1ux:
Does anyone else find that with battery saver mode on, the battery actually drains faster? Doesn't seem to do sleep. Turn it off and it sleeps
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Yeah sure. No one really knows what triggers it, and it can either be almost non-existent for some users, while going crazy on others. It's already blocked on my local build.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Well hope its not needed for anything lol. Might be the emergency broadcast thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Public_Alert_and_Warning_System

Integrated Public Alert & Warning System
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
No... IPA is a programmable hardware block related to internet packets.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ghostENVY:
On BetterBatteryStats I'm getting about 6 minutes for that specific wakelock. I'm on your kernel btw and XL.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diabl0w:
Um no he was correct about IPA_WS
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snovvman:
Wrong. The "WS" is William Sonoma. IPA_WS is the William Sonoma IPA beer making kit.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
r2 is out. I spent some time with this seeing where I could push a little extra on lowering power requirements without touching cpu frequencies/governor parameters. I don't have numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if r2 pushed screen on time further. Of course I can't control variables such as apps randomly wakelocking or bad signal, but the part that I can control I can safely say it'll help a bit. Besisdes there's other fixes from upstream & kernel_common-3.18 from Google which reduce overhead in some specific subsystems.

It also bypasses IPA_WS wakelock by default (you can enable it back if you need from FKUpdater or shell commands) since it's a common wakelock, so if you've been having it, that'll help lower your idle wakeup times. There's a small patch that I cooked which queues some important work to a high priority queue list, so that it does its thing faster (more info on on github).

I think this is a good step forward before the world of custom recoveries and being able to tweak some things on the ramdisk.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Nice work as always Franco! Out of curiosity, what kinds of things are tweakable via the ramdisk? Is there a fair amount of stuff you can't mess with yet? :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
I'd rather not answer now. Ramdisk just gives some more flexibility in changing settings without messing with the Kernel source. I mean I could easily deploy a full boot.img and mess with the ramdisk, but I've been there before, and as soon as custom roms start ****ing with custom ****... well you know what'll happen. So until we have recoveries supplying just the kernel binary works just fine and the users don't need to care about the boot_a and boot_b situation. It just works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Aha fair enough ;)

Nice :) yeah... Custom ROMs hey! :eek: they're delightful haha

Awesome, yeah I can't wait for custom recoveries, it'll make life so much easier than having to fastboot flash everything, lol

Thanks Franco! Can't wait to see more of your fantastic work :good::laugh:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Is the app updated as well for pixels?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Not yet, working on it right now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
No worries. Thanks for your work as always.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] beepFTW:
Its on the wishlist for now. Will get it once its compatible, man things are different from my Nexus 4 days. :fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Swapped from EX to Franco.Kernel R2. Running beautifully so far. Just missing the sweep-to-wake. Used to not having those features though with FK from my N5 and 6P. :D
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
flar2 does a good job, but I think I have other things up my sleeve :highfive: enjoy!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Looking forward to seeing the progress mate!

I tried flashing the stock boot.img, but now am stuck at stock recovery android logo. Tried fastboot flash boot_a boot.img then fastboot flash kernel fk-r2.gz

They flash fine, but won't boot. Did a wipe data/factory reset in the recovery menu, same.

I can however: fastboot boot boot.img (stock boot img) and works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Dunno, maybe your main boot is boot_b or something. Just make sure both boot_a and boot_b are stock, then you can flash fk and it'll be fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Juzman:
Yeah, I'm not sure either. It is set to _a according to Fastboot. Currently restoring all apps since I did a factory reset.

Tried fastboot flash boot_a boot.img and fastboot flash boot_b boot.img -- android recovery screen. However fastboot boot boot.img working
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cwalker0906:
I have yet to see any conclusive proof that we even need to pick which boot. I haven't put a or b in any command I have run
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] I've tried to find documentation regarding this, but does your kernel automatically downclock the high perf cluster when the battery dips below ~10% or something? If yes, is it possible to turn that feature off, or at the very least adjust how much it is downclocked and at what battery %?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nitemare3219:
My phone for some reason is now ALWAYS awake. Seemed to have sporadically happened. Anyone know how I can trace the issue down? Running latest FK and June OTA. Also have Busybox, AdAway, SELinux set to Permissive, and Viper 4 Android installed. Had no issues for a long time and now all of a sudden...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nitemare3219:
nanohub_wakelock_read

It appears to be the culprit. It is BY FAR leading in wakelock time... pretty much the entire amount of time the phone has been unplugged, via GSam Battery Monitor.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nitemare3219:
EDIT: Disregard. Issue still existing on another kernel. Any idea how to figure out what's causing the wakelock?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
I would try using Google's Battery Historian: https://github.com/google/battery-historian
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gettingerr:
Is this kernel good to go over Lineage OS based roms such as Hexa?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Virus1x:
Wonder if op is okay, no update to pixel since may, but all his other products got love.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jeremiah_1988:
Is this kernel working well with pure nexus? I've recently rooted and installed pure nexus and have been using elemental but would like to try Franco.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Hoping to see an updated version, but so everyone knows, r15 is still working on the July update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Franco updated on his G+ he finally got AK working for Pixels and we should be seeing a release sometime later today. Keeping fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
That is awesome news. Might still be a bit, the source for this update migjt not be out yet. Google always says within 48 hours.

Appreciate the news though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drdrewdown:
it's out!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Thanks!

Careful gang, the updater is pushing r1. Im off to tell franco

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

No its not, I'm an idiot. Flashed via his app. All good, root stayed. I did not have TWRP installed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
r16

1. Merged July security patches

2. Merged a couple interesting patches from O-preview 3 release

3. Finally available as a flashable zip through the recovery enabling several FK Manager & Updater features

4. Compatible with signature protection enforcing. Flashing this will sign the boot.img afterwards

zip: https://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Pixel/7.1.2/anyKernel/fk-r16-anykernel2.zip

Franco Kernel Manager & Updater is the best companion for this Kernel (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.kernel)

I also strongly suggest you install Naptime (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze), for free, to achieve the best battery life through out the day. Try it, you won't be disappointed
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Working great. Super smooth and battery is awesome.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
I had a lock up, froze and then rebooted to ram dump. I was unable to get logcat but got dmesg and last kmsg for you.Thanks for the flashable!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobbarker2:
Are you using doze or something similar? Cuz those logs are kind of crazy with the IRQs.

And what governor are you using by the way I don't see Max Capacity being set at all in my klog.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
No I am not using anything like doze or naptimes, or any battery saving apps. Also governor is default sched.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drdrewdown:
are you using Magisk?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
No I'm not, superSU
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Thanks & sorry. I'll see if it's my fault.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
Just wanted to do my part and report the bug,thanks for the kernel bud!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
I think I found the cause, re-uploaded r16.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:
I think [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] is seeing similar issues. Might want to shoot him a message.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joey.gunnarson:
i tried using the newly uploaded version and got the same problem, also youtube videos wouldnt start playing
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Freak07:
Are you guys with reboots on a clean July update?

Or custom roms? Los, aosp based?

If you get reboots immediately after flashing the kernel I should be getting them too.

I experienced no a single reboot with my kernel on July update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Donric13:
Hi. Just tried it on latest du (rc). After flashing Franco kernel rom always boots up in recovery.... Had to dirty flash the rom again to make it start in system. Think du doesn't like custom kernel...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Strange. No problems with this kernel on DU 6-30 weeklies.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Donric13:
How did you flash it (order and twrp and su or magisk)? I flashed it after magisk. Then landed everytime in recovery. Reflashed rom without root, started it up. Then restart in recovery flashed franco and was stucked in recovery again... Reflashed rom and magisk and all fine again... Strange.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
I was coming from Sharkey.

-Flash stock boot image

-Flash TWRP

-Flash SuperSU

-Flash FK

Sorry, never used Magisk.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] joey.gunnarson:
I'm on lineage
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] yung40oz84:
I haven't had a reboot on the new uploaded one yet at all. I wasn't getting them immediately after booting. The first was when sending a reply to a message in quick reply, the second was when dragging notification panel down. I am running DU, July security patch.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snowdude6:
I've also had multiple ram dumps after using google play newsstand when going from "for you" to "library" tab. If it happens again I'll grab the ram dump. July update no root fk r16
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turbo81:
Updated stock July image. Flashed via TWRP RC1. When try to boot, I get no command. Any idea?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
I've had to flash the kernel twice in a row, then it works for me. No clue why.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Are you folks flashing the ota....not rebooting and flashing the kernel? Just a WAG but maybe the ota flash is triggering a slot switch that doesn't finish until a reboot?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
I flashed the Factory Image, let it boot, rebooted to Bootloader, booted to TWRP boot image, installed TWRP, then tried both:

1. Booting to TWRP and flashing kernel

2. Booting back to Android, then booting to TWRP and flashing kernel

In both cases I had to flash the ZIP twice to make Android even bootable.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Something with installing TWRP then. Not saying it's TWRP's fault but it is part of the clue.

I dont install twrp.

Flash factory. Reboot. Boot to twrp and install root. Reboot and then use Franco's app to flash the kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] turbo81:
Thanks!! Flashing the kernel twice in arow works!.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
I am not rooted. My device only has an unlocked bootloader.

Here was my experience, just in case it is helpful.

1. Rebooted to bootloader

2. Booted to TWRP image

3. Flash kernel (previously copied to device)

4. Wiped cache/dalvik in TWPR

5. Repeated kernel flash based on comments of having to do it twice

6. Booted phone just fine.

--being the slightly paranoid, but efficient, person I am I repeated steps 1 - 3

7. Phone this time booted right to stock recovery

8. Using the menu I selected Reboot system - same thing

9. Using recovery menu I select PowerOff - it did, but would not turn back on...or I was impatient

10. Help Power button until I got a dump and it went back to recovery

11. Using recovery I booted to bootloader and booted to TWRP

8. repeated 1-5 again and now it seems fine now.

Perhaps that second go around of flashing after the initial successful flash and boot threw the phone into the situation others have had.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Ok r17 is out and should be fine, signing the boot.img was derped on r16 which caused some issues for some users. Flashing things on the Pixel is a russian roulete.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Had to flash r17 twice for it to boot; first time just kicked me back into TWRP upon reboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Franco your kernel is amazing. Great speed and Battery life!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Yeah man! And I also didn't have any problem with any of the version he released since the July patch, first, second or the last release, no extra reboot loop after flashing, no system reboot obviously, nothing. I am always on stock ROM though.

I hope he continues to support this phone for as long as he can :laugh: Have plans to use this for long time. The phone was great to start with, this kernel made it feel like a German knife being sliced through a slice of butter. And on top of that provide the best battery backup too!

Respect man.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Does anybody have automatic HBM working fine? I thought with AK2 it should be fixed, but mine isn't working. It can go bright but does not adjust back.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Works fine for me. Doesnt adjust down without screen off, but I figured that's how it works.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Same here, except it adjusts back if I turn the screen off. Always been that way.... probably should have reported it sooner.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Thanks same behavior here, but in my Nexus 6p it really does adjust bright and goes back automatically when low brightness without turning off and on. I think this should be the actual behavior.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
How can I flash this without TWRP? I'm unlocked and stock, thats how I want to stay
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Get the RC1 boot image of twrp.

Fastboot boot TWRPfilename.

Install the zip in twrp, reboot and twrp is gone. It's just a temp boot to twrp that way
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nyydynasty:
thanks Franco - this kernel fixed all the problems I ran into mainly surrounding Magisk and getting it to work properly.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
r18 is up with August's security patchset!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Not in the updater yet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
It downloads appropriately, just doesn't show the changelog.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
I got ramdump. Used fastboot flash kernel, not updater.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
The current kernel is using AK2, it can only be flashed through recovery and not by fastboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
No matter what I do, every time I flash one of the AK2 kernels, I get sent back to recovery menu. Anyone have insight on this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
Flash it again. I have the same issue, flashing it two times works. No clue why.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Another person reported the same thing in the TWRP thread. Second flash helped him too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Alright that did it. Thanks guys.
