I think I am going to concur with this statement. Although I only had a crash occur once soon after 7.1.2 and r11. None since, however I do get the freeze up occassionally, however I am not running a custom kernel at this time since I installed the April update and when I do freeze up, it's only for a few seconds.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
I've tried two other kernels for 7.1.2 and I haven't had any issues, I wonder what it could be?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
Stock 7.1.2 will temporarily freeze on me. Occasionally, when swiping home screens, it'll be stuck in the middle for a second or so.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Pushed r14, small maintenance release.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] XtraArrow:
How come the change log link never works? Hasn't for a couple releases now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Been running r14 for 3hrs now, including using my camera. So far so good, I'll carry on using it and hope for the best haha :)

Thanks Franco!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
Will also test this one out as well.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobbarker2:
Pretty sure it's never worked. If you want to see changes, you'll have to look at the commits on github.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
Really interested if r14 fixes the issues

edit: last patches on Franco's github are from April 8
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Freak07:
Yes. You’re not only one who took a look at his git ;)

Btw hey :) I know you from the desire hd days. You helped me build aicp back there. Thank you for all your work!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Taebom:
R14 has stopped the reboots for me, I can't reproduce them even when opening all apps.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
I know you know me and you know I know you haha
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
I have the same result.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
r14 going solid all day Franco! :) I dunno what you had to do to fix this ;) but it's certainly worked for me!

Battery today has been decent, interactions smooth, stability spot on, win win! :)

got this output when i was trying to flash r14, any help?

update: problem solved. actually i was flashing the 'fk-r14' file inside the 'fk-r14.gz'. yes i decompressed the file, which is stupid...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
you sure you flashing correct kernel file?

you don't have to rename it, just download fk-r14 and type: fastboot flash kernel fk-r14
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
Looks like r14 is stable
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
+1

I made a list of apps and started opening them on 13. Got about 15 open before it froze. Same list on 14 and i got into the 30's before I gave up. It is fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spectrematrix:
Finally flashed for latest build, Thank you Franco. **r14**
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
If you cannot find the download following the link in the OP, just click the Parent Directory link and it's there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Shawn haz root:
I'm using franco Kernel #14, FK Manager app and NapTime. Battery life has been awesome, but I have 1 issue I can't seem to pinpoint. When my phone has been sleeping for a while and I receive a phone call, the ringtone plays immediately but the screen is black and takes forever for the screen to wake up and show me who's calling. I added "Phone", "Phone and Messaging Storage" and "Phone Services" to the exclusion list (not optimized.) On a side note, it also feels a bit laggy at first wake up, then runs normally. Is there something else I should try or something I am doing/not doing?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
I am on the same setup with crdroid los bases rom. When I first flashed the rom and 14, i did get that same lag, then I would try and reboot...got the dump a few times. Random reboots happened too. All went away after I made sure all my apps had the proper permissions. I did this in setting > apps> configure apps> app permissions. Now I am getting the best battery life ever. Also check that Naptime is not battery optimized.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Is the kernel for the Pixel and the Pixel XL the same?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Yes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Could use a little help. I just flashed r14. I then rebooted. Now it says I lost root. Is this normal or did I miss a step? I don't recall it doing this after I installed r12.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
I have always had to reroot after flashing it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Reuben_skelz92:
Only thing i miss is my pixel nav bar anamation:(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
To clarify, that is expected behavior for the current installation process.

Regarding your recollection of installing r12, you may need to consult a physician if this is a common occurrence, however, it might just be a isolated brain fart. Happens to me daily...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
Think it was a brain fart. Right after the Toni posted I looked in my emails and found my instructions and links on what I needed to do. I don't flash often so yeah I forget a few things.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Switched to EX thinking, the memory dump was caused by this kernel... Nope got memory dump with EX too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
try without naptime to reproduce that
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] b4u2:
The app keeps changing my CPU settings. Any reason why it would do that on it's own? It keeps resetting the 25% underclock and changing my frequencies. I can't get it to stop. Not sure what's causing this but it calmed down a little.

I've been having lag issues and I noticed that RAM usage has been spiking and I have to reboot a lot to get RAM back around 2GB used. Phone creeps up to 2.4GB and higher and device becomes basically unusable until I reboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Running r14 on my Pixel XL, 7.1.2 (NHG47K). So why does it think this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
That only refers to the auto update part of the app. Everything else is supported and working.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Amritttt:
Battery life tabs underclock the cpu not working when i apply 25% power reduction and minimise the app or close it it automatically restores it to full 100%
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Have the same issue [emoji17]
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
PSA: Don't flash r14 on May 7.1.2 (N2G47O)

It boot loops :)

Wait for r15 haha
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Well is there even root yet? SuperSU isn't working itself.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
I dunno, I'm not fussed about root :)

All I do to my Pixel (and what I'll do with all future FK supported phones, is flash Franco kernel haha
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
So that means you just flashed 14 from fastboot? No TWRP or root was used afterwards...and it went straight to bootloop?

If so that is really bad news. That means everything is broken, TWRP, Root and custom kernels.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Correct!

Flashed the latest 7.1.2, booted, rebooted to fastboot, flashed r14 and then bootloops!

No twrp or root :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Dang, we might be screwed for awhile.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Not long really, just gonna have to wait for the kernel sources to be updated + however long Franco spends updating, building & testing the next version of fk for the pixel / other devices :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
\

TWRP, SuperSU and custom kernels are all borked right now. Doubt it will take long to fix
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Testing is the part that concerns me. Franco's cat can be stubborn when it is in QC mode.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
It'll take as long as it takes.

Either stick with r14 & Apr patches

Or jump to May patches and wait around for a new update, that's what I'm doing. :P
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jdidtht:
I was running it on the last public beta 7.1.2 with no issues.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rockman1117:
Anyone else having issues screenshoting on r14? Everytime I do, it says it has problems and it never saves the image. Had to revert to r11. Everything stock except for Franco kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Unfortunately that experience is completely irrelevant with current build. It's analogous to saying Xposed worked fine on marshmallow. However maybe that information is helpful to a dev? I dunno...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Seanzle:
working just fine for me
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
You're not on May lol

Edit NVM you're talking about screenshots
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Pushed r15 with May's security patch Kernel commits.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
Franco, updated to 7.1.2 May Android Update, and when I flash your kernel I get a constant bootloop.

That's:

Flash Android Factory Image

Boot back to Bootloader

Flash FK-r15

Bootloop

Are there any logs I can even get for you at that point?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Can confirm, same behaviour here :(
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Namelesswonder:
Also happening over here on NHG47L. Seems to crash and reboot right after displaying the boot screen, but doesn't get far enough to allow me to get a logcat.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

It's bootlooping everything. Stock installing TWRP loops, all the kernels, installing TWRP loops.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Ok, I got it working.

Update the phone to May.

Fastboot flash bootloader "april bootloader.img"

reboot

fastboot flash kernel "franco 15"

fastboot boot "twrp.img"

install SU

Did not try to install TWRP but my gut tells me that it would be ok because you are on the April bootloader.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ssb13:
Is anyone else NOT rooted and has tried May update with FK15? Any issues?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
It will bootloop. Those of us that root installed it before we re-rooted and it looped.

Follow my directions above and skip the root step and it will be fine. Or hang tight a couple of days, I am sure it will get straightened out.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
Got the May security up and fully running, with FK-15, SuperSU and TWRP. You will need the April bootloader image as stated from the zip.

This is what I did, hope it helps.

In bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader c:\bootloader-marlin-april.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2.img

In TWRP: install twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.0-0RC2.zip

reboot system

Back to bootloader: fastboot flash kernel c:\fk-15

fastboot reboot-bootloader

reboot TWRP recovery from bootloader

In TWRP: install SuperSU-v2.79-SR3

reboot system, profit!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
Anyone losing haptic feedback on the 3 bottom nav buttons on FK-15? weird, fingerprint sensor works fine...

EDIT: disregard, just had to toggle Sounds>other sounds>touch sounds off/on again and working
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
For anyone wondering whats going on regarding the bootloops see Chainfire's post: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606.

Basically the bootloops are because of a new change introduced by Google. Now that a fix has been found, shouldn't be long until everything is updated to be compatible with the new changes. Might be a small wait with SuperSU however, as Chainfire is currently away as he states here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72137619&postcount=9643. So just be patient, or flash the older bootloader as stated earlier in the thread or sign your own as Chainfire explains in the first post I linked.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
It looks like franco actually might have to do something on his end. Plenty of us flashed r15 with the new bootloader and bootlooped WITHOUT TWRP/SuperSu installed at all (I tested MANY variations). It specifically references signing a boot.img (read: Kernel) with these keys, and it's probable that franco (not knowing about this issue, just like everyone else) didn't build with this method (so, probably an easy fix for him).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Sorry I had already corrected my wording but looks like you were replying while I was editing :P. What I meant when I said that was it was because of a change of Google, not something wrong with the kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
I noticed that, no worries.

Now, how do we get ahold of franco's cat so this finding can be communicated to him?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Franco's cat knew about this long ago but did the cat thing and waited for us to fail.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
Maybe these updates will lead to a flashable zip someday: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72165570&postcount=457

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
Well, that didn't take too long: https://goo.gl/l9eUih

Chainfire just made a flashable zip to sign the boot image. Just flash last and boot to system.

I'm now on the May bootloader, Franco Kernel, TWRP and SuperSU all working fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Hereisphilly:
What order did you flash it in? Super Su, kernel and then boot signer?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Kernel, SuperSU, boot signer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
FYI, V2 of verifiedbootsigner.zip is up, should fix java errors some were having, per Chainfire: https://goo.gl/l9eUih
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dinkoh:
Anyone getting random reboots after using the phone for awhile? Flashed fk15, SU, and V3 verifiedbootsigner.zip .

*** Just got another ramdump. ***
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dmb219:
I had a reboot/ramdump today on a fresh stock installation of the May update. I was using Android Auto at the time in my car. I just did a clean install a couple days ago with a data wipe, no root, no mods. Kind of frustrating. I don't expect problems with the stock rom & Google's apps. I had this happen a while back right after I installed 7.1.2, was all stock then too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
You can stick me on the list too, even with stock kernel I've been getting random crashes & subsequent ram dumps - only started since 7.1.2!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Im glad other people have confirmed that issues I've been having. I went back to March 2017. Google borked something with 7.1.2
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
I too get the reboots and RAM dumps. It started for me in April. I had been rooted and was rooted at the time as well. I was getting reboots every few hours after the April update. Flashing Franco at this point was the first time I had done so on my Pixel, and incidentally I never had the reboots again for all of April. Now that I'm on the May update, I have the reboots again :( (Still SuperSU + Franco)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SubwayJrd:
I personally found that r10 (I believe the first 7.1.2 Kernel) had the reboots and RAM dumps, r11 did not, and not r12 does again. Is this consistent with other people's experiences?

Franco, would appreciate your eyes on this in your few spare moments. Thanks for all you do.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MArtyChubbs:
I am sure that if he thought there was something to convey, he would. I am running r14 su and it works flawless. With another 7.1.2 ROM r14 su... Ramdump... Reboots... Toots and farts everywhere. Zane doesn't know where I am... And so on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PFusion:
Will this rom allow me to have root and hide root? And also use the hotspot feature?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Its not a ROM, its a kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] PFusion:
Well then will this Kernel allow me to do hotpsot and have root while hiding root?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
No, those are functions of the ROM. Kernels hide the fact that you are bootloader unlocked. ROM's or mods to the rom hide root (Magisk) and other methods give you the hotspot. Hit the general forum and the Q&A forum, lots of info there on both.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
OK this is pretty weird! I didn't even bother to check the previous messages and I simply flashed away Franco's latest on the May build I am running, but like it's already been mentioned, I am now in a loop and then if I press the power key it shows a RAM dump message. Is there a way out of this? That's the first thing I would like to know, without formatting anything obviously. And basically franco is unusable for now then?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
You never are able to boot up? Sounds like you forgot to sign your boot image.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
No no, I was all fine, rooted, with that verified signer thing, but I simply flashed Franco few minutes back and this is happening! I simply followed the simple installation instructions on OP, but if that has changed then please let me know.

Right now my phone is completely off, I tried to boot into the bootloader with key combo, but its showing the RAM dump message!!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
You have to flash the verifier again after the kernel mate
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
I was told that this kernel doesn't work on the May build! I tried to flash the VBS multiple times after flashing the kernel, simply went into a loop, or the RAMdump screen. Never once booted!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
You have to start with a fresh boot image. Download the factory image that you are currently using. Extract the boot.img (not bootloader.img), and then flash it a long with the rest.

fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img
fastboot flash kernel francokernel.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

Flash TWRP RC2, reboot recovery, flash VBS, reboot to system.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Well I simply flashed back the April update, I just don't like the idea of this VBS thing flashing. Gonna stay on this update for as long as I can. I hope Franco will get time to include the signer or whatever on the next update.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] npjohnson:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

Quick note, if you are on the May Bootloader for the Pixel/Pixel XL, all boot images must be signed. Verified Boot Signer (VBS) by ChainFire is a common way to do so (though you probably know all of this).

Unfortunately, VBS doesn't seem to sign both boot slots. Due to this, installing the kernel (as it is only distributed in a binary) has become significantly harder on the May update.

If we use fastboot flash kernel filename, we are unable to boot due to the boot image being modified thus breaking the signature. Obviously, a quick fix for this would be to use AnyKernel2, and flash it from TWRP like you did for Angler and previous devices, but, as far as I know, AnyKernel2 hasn't been updated to support boot slots.

So, in short, a flashable zip is probably necessary now to install the kernel (I mean, fastboot boot'ing twrp and using VBS is hit or miss depending on the active slot and which slot gets signed), and if you want to add support to FKU, you'll need to setup a boot-signer function post-install.

Also, thanks for the work on FK!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
It's not "necessary" at all. Just boot twrp, run the bootsigner, and be on your merry way. I've done it three times now with zero issue.

Hurr durr but I'm retarded and still don't know what an adb is. Why are you here exactly?

That's at no one in particular.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Same here, no problems at all. I would assume most of us are rooting. So we are booting to TWRP anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Could you mention the EXACT steps you did to flash Franco kernel on May build?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
So on stock May build, flash kernel, boot twrp, install bootsigner v5, reboot system. That's all there was to it. I don't root so I don't keep twrp installed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jdpro22:
Here are the exact steps I used that worked for me. I tried several times trying to figure out when I needed to flash the VerifiedBootSigner and got Ramdumps every other way.

1. Start on a clean install of the May factory image

2. Extract the boot.img (not bootloader.img)

3.	fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img

fastboot flash kernel fk-15.gz

fastboot boot twrp-RC1.img

4. Install twrp-RC1.zip

Install VerifiedBootSigner.zip

5. Reboot to recovery

6. Install SuperSU-SR3.zip

Install VerifiedBootSigner.zip

7. Reboot to system

First time booting up will have a restart happen before it gets fully up. After it happens once, it should boot right up.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Have you tried the shorter method mentioned exactly on the post before yours, Post 950? That gave your RAM dump and boot loop?

And in your worked method, is step 4 a must if I don't wanna have TWRP permanently?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TonikJDK:
Why are you flashing the stock boot image before​ the kernel?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
If you mess up the process and get stuck in a boot loop, you start from fresh with the stock boot.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] LorD ClockaN:
got ramdump screen using r15
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Even after flashing the VBS and all that?
