Just found below was posted wrongly in the twrp thread.

Using the FK Updater this afternoon to install r18, but, went into boot-loop. Below were what I had done:

Update to 7.12 NJH47F

Reboot to BL and boot twrp RC1.img

Install SuperSU-V2.82-SR2

Boot to system and found root okay

Use FK Updater to install r18

Boot-loop.

Then, I flashed the boot.img from stock image and could reboot well. Re-root again using SuperSU-V2.82-SR1. Then, I could install the FK kernel by using FK Updater, but, with two outcomes:

1. Used Updater auto flashed r18 and showed okay, but, saw pop up message with wording something like "zip file not..". Re-booted and found kernel not updated and remained in stock.

2. Redo the auto flash by the Updater. This time the Updater also showed okay. But again I could read the pop message saying the zip not okay with a word ".....shrugs". Again, the kernel remains in stock. The weird is that the Updater shows updating with r17. Checked the download file, it is r18.

Finally, booted twrp-rc1 and flash the r18.zip. Bingo and runs smoothly. It seems SuperSU-2.82-SR2 and FR Updater caused the troubles.

Could anyone access Recovery mode while running this kernel? I am on the July patch and wanted to flash the August OTA but the moment I type adb reboot recovery the phone goes to ramdump screen, key combo does the same! How do I flash the OTA without entering recovery mode?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
It booted to recovery fine for me using the manual method. I haven't had a RAM dump screen in a while.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Hmm, do you have TWRP installed? I don't keep it, I have stock recovery. And manual method means the key combination right? Tried that too like I said!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
No, I just boot RC1 and flash the kernel zip. And yeah, manual would be using the key combination. I've never had that not work for me. Try flashing a different fk if you don't have the stock kernel available.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ithehappy:
Oh thanks. Well our setup is same then! I just tried going into recovery so many times manually but every time it's ending up in ramdump screen. I'll flash latest Franco version on the July patch itself to see whether it gets rid of the problem or not.

I just have the boot.img from the stock firmware, don't know whether that can be flashed simply via TWRP or not.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xadidas4lifex:
Best rom to pair this kernel with?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Stock ROM is pretty damn good :cool:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
I have to say FrancoKernel and PureNexus is a match made in heaven. Today I used the s*** out of my phone seeing how much I SOT I can achieve and the results are impressive.

Tomorrow I will test out the idle but everything looks good! Well done!

Are you just running stock kernel settings? I can't get more than 3.5hrs SOT. ugh.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] EstiR86:
Yes I am using completely stock settings. I do have substratum installed and have PureBlack theme installed and that's about it I have Greenify installed with root from Magisk, other than that nothing changed.

Any news on the Oreo support?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Tylog:
2 weeks ago there was a posting at Google + where it was called Pixel XL Kernel follow tonight. This is 2 weeks ago and since that no word about it, so I do not think. After four days every day several times looked like a crazy one, but I had no desire to look longer.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Dudes!! Kernel development takes time!

I'm sure everyone wants to hear great news from Franco about the pixel, myself included, but let's chill ;)

Franco always takes as long as he needs to. We all know the pixel to be a pain in the ass to develop for, I'm sure a release is in the works.

There's probably a bazillion changes in 8.0 making life difficult, not to mention the dual boot partitions, as well as the ever increasing security of android :)

r19 will come when it's ready, as with every release :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zee24:
Hey guys. Just a question. What will flashing this kernel do for my pixel xl? What kind of improvements can I see? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Faster speed, better battery, better battery and much smoother overall operation of your phone :)

Results may vary ;) and it doesn't work on 8.0.0 yet! But 7.1.2 you'll love it!!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liamm99:
Might be stupid question Im rather new here. Is this compatible with pure Nexus? I know it worked on nexus 6p fine with different kernels but will my pixel xl be fine
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] carlylemiii:
Maybe he'll come back just in time for the Pixel 2/XL?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mongonexus:
i hope hes ok, just got the xl and wanted to crank out with fk,
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jlee08517:
He's fine. He's pretty active in his 6p thread. Pushing out oreo updates
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mongonexus:
im glad hes ok,tell him we miss him in this neck of the woods
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] blsrbl:
I hope so. Especially with the terrible microphone the Pixel 2 XL got.

What happened with FK kernel for marlin?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Spl4tt:
As far as I read on reddit, it's difficult to develop for marlin because the two boot slots. Not even anykernel was running fine. So he probably had enough of this device. But he also said there "he owes us an update which will probably be out end of january" but I'm not sure if it will ever happen.

I'm don't know what to do really. The only option seems to get a OP5T, if I want to continue having decent ROMs and kernels but also a headphone jack..

Really sad. The Pixel could have been the perfect device with a community like the Nexus line used to have
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bsmitty83:
The a/b partition layout isn't that big of a deal really , I thought it was the new standard but apparently it is a choice . And anykernel works just fine with the layout .

So as far as this phone being hard to Dev on , sure it's different , but it's not any harder than a op5 .....

The biggest reason for lack of support on the pixel is it's old now . Period. This happened to every version in the Nexus line . Devs move to the newest . This isn't the newest anymore. There's still just as much support for this phone as any other phone .

And as for saying there's no good development now because Fransisco Franco isn't around anymore is quite a statement .

I'm just an amateur , but there is plenty of good rom's and kernels out there right now .

Peace .
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Spl4tt:
What are you talking about? The Pixel is just a bit more than a year old now. Even the Oneplus One has better development than the Pixel ever had. It has an Oreo kernel from franco, we don't. Check other phone forums, Nexus 5/6/6p and so on. Those phones are all older, but have much more.

Here's the answer from Franco himself on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/android/comments/7r0sqz/_/dstqy8g
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bsmitty83:
So there's no pixel2 ? No op3, op5 ?

Most of the devs who worked on the pixel , got the pixel 2 or a one plus in some form. This device is not the newest . That simple. I'm sure the newest device takes precedence for them .

Obviously there is way more development for 32bit 8996 platforms , there are a ton of them .

Nexus 5 and 6 have had a much longer lifespan than the pixel too . How long did the devs stay on the Nexus 5 when the 6 came out ? How long did it take for them to abandon the Nexus 4 for the 5 ?

The pixel was unique when it came out , there were things that had to be worked out , but development wise there are still alot of people who do work on this device. IDK what you else you expect , the development of this phone is pretty damn up to date. I don't see any op3 rom's running 8.1 . What is it that this community is lacking ? Roms ? Kernels ?

All I'm saying is that while it sucks , developers do move on from devices . But that doesn't mean the development for said device is dead .
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] liam_davenport:
Their is no developers on Pixel because no one bought it. OnePlus has a ton because was cheap and more appealing . OP3 has pretty much every 8.1 rom going while some moved on it still has a ton of developers. Pixel was DOA lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bsmitty83:
Agreed for sure . I was looking at the op3t section only , I didn't even see that there was way more work in the cross thread. Yeah , one plus phones are popular lol . I guess my main point was that there is still work being done on the pixel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sweetie:
No builds for Oreo ROMs?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Spl4tt:
Some months ago he said on reddit that he planned an Oreo release, but I think it's safe to say that he's done with this device..

Any chance that you may update your kernel (for this device/regular Pixel) to latest sources/firmware in the future?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Here's r19 I've been promising for over an year. I lost interest in this device early on, but well, I promised something so here it is. It's only compatible with Pie of course.

Auto-flash with my app here: http://get.franciscofranco.xyz or just get the zip from the OP.

Btw if you have my app, Performance Profiles won't work, it seems Google made some security restrictions over setprops and I need to update the app to work around it somehow.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Slayer_Jezza:
Thanks for updating :)

Is this basically made where I shouldn't change anything?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dedito:
thank you for bringing back franco kernel to pixel XL!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sweetie:
Waited a long for pie update ❤️
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Yup. You can if you want though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
Brilliant thanks for your kernel fantastic ?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
Holy crap, this is awesome

I was able to get your performance profiles working

I can upload a build if you're ok with it

Additionally, here's a commit to get some more of sultan's features in, instead of relying on pulling just the cpumasks

https://github.com/DevG6/android_kernel_lge_msm8996/commit/566c73ea6e3e1d9578d384e2a0b4cdc01fa9e067
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
The issue isn't witht the perf profiles itself, it's a denial from selinux when doing setprop on pie. It's ok I'll fix it in the app this next week.

Backporting the code is easy, my concern was a possible clash of guugle's IRQ placement vs forcing the IRQs into specific clusters. For example even on my OP6 that completely destroyed the performance on the renderthread path. I can merge that and see if there's anything affected though.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kingbri:
Weird, because whenever I try to do something directly via the init.rc since the September update, the thing never executes and the whole script doesn't do anything (this must be Google's thing). However, executing via magisk script always works and has never failed for me

Also, I have the irq merge on my own kernel and nothing's happened on my end, so it's your decision in the end! I have a lot less experience and know how compared to you lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Logically magisk is different, it runs in it's own context...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
Thanks working great balance works well for me smashing absolutely terrific ?.

1. Updated to the January patches

2. Updated to 3.18.131

3. Fix a "bug" in which userspace would reset cpus max freq after a user underclocks

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Tried this kernel. Seemed like it was working then I doubled checked with a cpu app. It said core 1 in the cpu was dead. Checked in fk app. Says it was up and running. So I thought maybe that cpu app was failing. Tried kernel auditor, same thing, core 1 dropped. Also it had the cores numbered 1-4. Every other time and now after a clean install and magisk, cores are back to saying 0-3. I am on a Marlin, Pixel XL. i used this kernel all day yesterday, battery tanked too. I went threw servicely and naptime app and set it up. No apps were draining, via stock battery monitor and watching servicely. No downloaded apps were running. So I wiped and clean install of factory image and wiped both partitions. Battery life in stock app is back to saying 16 hrs. Yesterday it kept projecting only four hours on a full charge. Something was running in background I couldn't find. And it wasn't an app. This was the difference, installation of this kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] micjambra:
I haven't experienced any of the issues that you are. checked several times all cores online and working as should as for battery 6hrs with moderate usage ?.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
I think you had something going on there, and it wasn't Kernel related. Cpus being offline was probably due to thermal throttle or something. Besides, the Kernel itself doesn't introduce any power consumption regression, so you had something nasty going on there on your device.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
Yeah I wish I did. But I had a back up from two days before and installed that. No custom kernel and everything is fine. I didn't get it renaming core numbers. That was odd to me. I don't have a core 4 name wise. 0-3 are my core numbers. It renamed them 1-4 with one being offline for hours. No heating up. Something wasn't jiving in the background of the kernel. I had a few other issues. It also dropped my VPN and wouldn't connect to my VPN. At all yesterday. Nordvpn app and openvpn didn't want to connect. Only difference in my backup to this is running a stock kernel, kernel auditor and stock rom. But it is all good. If it works for others great. This is my experience. Maybe it is a one in million problem. IDK. I wasn't in a the mood to figure it out. Only thing I did different was install this two nights ago. No app updates. No weird stuff happening. Even at home on my own wifi. Also tried mobile network when my VPN kept dropping. I took Nord and made the battery optimization not restricting. It would not handshake at all. Stalled while connecting everytime. On mobile and wifi. Never had a problem like that. Installed via TWRP. I am on the Jan update. I also upgrade full image not ota, with my back up. Again never had a problem with cores and or connecting.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Only difference was this kernel and apps that you made I put on there. I haven't used one and no custom kernel and no problems. I was liking the entire ecosystem thing. All made to work together. I had a back up from before I installed all this. Wiped and installed back up. Works fine. Custom kernels and pie I noticed just don't work well. I am on stock rooted kernel with some add-ons is fine for me now. I was hoping better battery life, but a day is Max it seems for this phone. A day and half if I am lucky. Another thing I noticed is servicely only say it stops a wakelock. There are multiple wakelock that can be done to fix problems with apps. Sd maid didn't show any apps running that were not normally supposed to be running. I had servicely and naptime. Seemed those used a lot of battery. Pie has a doze mechanism now. I know greenify and forcedoze are conflicting with the new app classifications. You can find them in developer options. Working classes. Well anyways. It was a good try. I swung for the fences. Didn't workout too well. Since pie there have been a lot of issues across multiple platforms with modding doze or anything to do with that. No restrictions. But I am rambling on now. Well goodluck.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Wait, what do you mean renaming them 1-4? Cpus numering goes from 0 to 3, not 1 to 4...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dd805bb:
That is what I am saying. From the first post. It renamed my cores 1-4. Something is conflicting in the background. All's I did was flash that kernel and then install fk kernel. Used servicely and naptime. After it ran 20 percent with screen off for two hours I started checking it out. That is when I found the renaming of the cores. Threw me off big time. Never have I ever seen that. I installed a few apps looking at the core names. All said the same,it changed the naming of the cores and kicked one totally offline. Couldn't force it online. Couldn't do anything in any app to force it online.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
That wasn't my Kernel, something was definitely bonkers on your device before you flashed it.
