This exact thing just happened to me too...after flashing I saw an "Erasing" screen pre-boot and after a few reboots, the phone completely wiped and I'm setting up the phone again. I'll try it again after a fresh root.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] cwalker0906:
Do u also have a Verizon phone
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snovvman:
People are reporting a 15% SystemUI FC w/ root. CF's assessment is

CF has a new version that people are testing. I don't know if there is a connection.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dprk:
Sort of. I have a Google store Pixel XL on Verizon.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] snovvman:
That would be classified as a non-VZ phone. The VZ-sold phones have a locked (albeit weakly) bootloader and phones that came from the G-store do not.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dprk:
Thanks for the clarification. Then no I don't have a Verizon phone :) I'll provide an update probably later today or tomorrow after I get a chance to re-root and try to flash the kernel again.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Yes just need to fastboot flash kernel fk than go back into twrp and flash su zip.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pjgraber03:
OK Cool thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
We don't have anyKernel2 method working yet with the Pixel's partition scheme.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diesteldorf:
Just wanted to say Thanks for all your hard work. The kernel has already seemed to give me better performance and battery life.

Just had a couple questions

I am running R5 with an Unlocked Bootloader Chainfire's root method. I know AP was working with R2 and it passed SafetyNet Checks. AP doesn't seem to be working now. That's OK, but I just want to make sure it isn't an issue with my phone. Can anyone get AP to work on R5?

I just installed the latest security patch and am now running Android Build NDE63V. Has anyone kept running R2 to maintain AP support?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
The kernel isn't what's causing the SafetyNet check to fail, SuperSU is. I don't root, I'm on fk-r5, I use Android Pay everyday.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] diesteldorf:
You're a genius....LOL

One of my primary reasons for using root was to be able to have access to Titanium Backup, since it makes restoring certain apps and data much easier for me.

Got all that done a few weeks ago, so now I am set. There are a couple other apps that I may miss, but with TWRP installed, it really makes it easy to re-enable root access if desired.

After I read your post, I reflashed the original boot image on both the A & B partitions, reflashed fk-r5, and reinstalled TWRP.

Android Pay works great. Thank you. I'll be curious to know if it'll even be feasible for Chainfire to modify/update root so that Android Pay is possible. Regardless, not a big deal.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
It's called suhide and it doesn't work on the Pixels. I used it on my 6P, but it was becoming a pain to go use Android Pay only to find Google updated SafetyNet and it doesn't work. I just stopped rooting after that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
Do you have an unlocked boot-loader? I thought you couldnt use android pay with one, and needed one to modify or flash custom kernels.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Is double-tap to wake a functionality coming soon on the Pixel for FK? Missed this since coming over from Nexus 6P's FK.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] siddhesh.raikar:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
For OTA system updates, do we need to revert to the stock boot.img/bootloader.img before applying the update? Or will the OTA automatically update those partitions meaning we have to reflash after?

E.g. I have FK r4 atm and I got an OTA notification. Should I just apply the update and then reflash later FK, or should I flash stock boot.img, apply update and lastly flash FK?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
In my case I had to dirty flash the whole factory image to get the OTA to apply properly. After that you can re-do root, kernel, etc.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
In the post you quoted it says he flashed fk-r5.

I was able to take the first OTA without flashing stock. Give it a try and let us know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
I think the OTA he is talking about is the one they just pushed to Canadian Pixel's... which seems to be a different build branch... which may have been why it failed on mine. Went from NDE63V to NPF26J (and no this is not the developer preview).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
Yeah I just read about that on Android Police after I posted. Thats what fastboot is for :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
Oh wow, I searched Android Police and Google for a changelog or something but found nothing. They literally created the article after I was done searching haha. I am going to hold off on the update then, since it seems to be a preview release according to the article.

Regardless, thanks for the info guys.

Edit: Forgot to mention, new baseband and kernel too. I wonder whats new :o.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Seems to be the LTE fix for certain bands that were having trouble.

After upgrading to this build I am now getting LTE+ constantly where before it would drop back to LTE after a couple of minutes.

Also the kernel is from November 7th... and adds the new gesture support.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
I capture the OTA link if anyone wants in on it.

Official: https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../09c7f402fd047c0d631fdd6c4168c934d3b9451b.zip

Mirror (incase they take it down since it might be a mistake): https://goo.gl/O3ChhS

Edit: Had to reflash stock boot.img before I could apply the OTA. Incase anyone missed it, I have uploaded the extracted version of Marlin-NDE63V here: https://goo.gl/zPsRHu

This way you can just download the boot.img (not bootloader! Don't mix the 2 up) and flash via fastboot.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Apparently the newer OTA supports it natively.

You only need to flash back stock boot.img. If you modified System then you'll have to flash back stock System too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
So can we flash FK over the new OTA and will it keep the native DT2W.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Not the current release. It would need to be based off this newer version.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Thanks that's what i thought but didn't know since Franco just updated some binaries. I'll wait ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
Yup, saw the news today, thanks.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
FYI I flashed the current FK on the new OTA and the move settings are still there. Seems that lift to wake works but DT2W doesn't... I know an update is needed but just letting everyone know.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Don't flash r5 or any Kernel for that matter on top of that new OTA. Kernel sources aren't out and things will most likely break some way or another.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] danon.brown:
Any recommended settings after flashing this, or just leave the settings alone?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Last week at some point I'd flashed Elemental kernel then tried Franco kernel and somehow managed to have the ultra brightness mode from Elemental kernel working while on Franco kernel. Any idea how it happened?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
HBM is included in the updated Franco app.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I have the Franco Kernel Updater 2 paid app but don't see anything in there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Odd, I have it in there. I know it was part of a recent update and is included in at least r5 of the kernel. Maybe try deleting the cache of the app and re-open?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
I just installed it a few minutes ago, where is it in the app?

Edit: I installed the kernel a second time and now it's there.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Weird, but at least it showed up. I don't have FK installed right now since I got the latest OTA so for me kernel settings is blank in the app. :p
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
This afternoon when I tried checking my battery stats in Settings it says "Battery usage data isn't available". Any idea what would cause this?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nexusmaniac:
Hey Franco, not because I don't think you've noticed :laugh: but osmosis has released anykernel2 for pixel :D woohoo
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
No, doesn't work like that.

Display Control -> High brightness mode

You need to wait until it discharges a bit to have some heuristics to build battery usage stats.

I know, I sent him all the dumps he asked me and he worked with me ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] old_fart:

Woo Hoo ! . . Thank you, sir.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Anastacio_Guerrero:
Not bad, not bad at all. Thanks Franco for the great battery life ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Jikenda:
So happy to see Franco Kernel on this.. I've loved your work since way back and it is really good to see you supporting this device which I was on the fence about getting. I'll receive it this Friday and can't wait to play around and see about the possibilities! Looking forward to using this Kernel like I used to!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lexcyn:
Really missing the backlight dimming ... hope Google releases the kernel sources soon. Although with 7.1.1 dropping next Tuesday I don't know if they will just go straight to the next version.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
If I wanted to return to stock kernel all I have to do is flash stock boot.img?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] siddhesh.raikar:
Yes.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
Is there a guide on how to modify FK settings like vibration, brightness, etc.. without using FKU? I have always rooted and used FKU, but I want to use Android Pay, plus the fact that rooting seems a bit beta right now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
I asked this earlier in his thread and unfortunately the answer is no.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
r6 is up for Android 7.1.1. I strongly suggest you not to flash it on 7.1 (November patchset) because there are some major changes on the code base and I don't know how it'll work with mismatching userspace.

You've been warned.

That said, enjoy r6, the new patches from Google are amazing.

Recovery flashable .zips with AK2 will be made available later this week.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
Thanks!

Would you by any chance be able to quickly elaborate on the new patches and their benefits? It would be greatly appreciated
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
So I am having an issue that I saw some people were having earlier. I no longer have access to HBM. It is not in the FKUpdater or EXKM app. Can't find the file in /sys/class/graphics/FB0/ either. I had access to it earlier (FK R3 and FK R5) but I lost it when I got the Canadian OTA last month (I didn't sideload it, legitimately received it). I didn't mention anything in the thread through because sources were not released by Google so I assumed Franco would have no way to help. I am on the latest OTA now, with FK R6 and still no HBM mode.

Some people said a flash-all works but I don't want to lose my setup. In fact, I don't even get what a flash-all would do for the kernel that flashing the stock boot.img won't do. Any insight [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] xryptic:
I used flash-all without the -w to retain data, it is safe. I have the hbm file in that path, but it's not working right. When there is high brightness, the screen becomes bright and works as it is, but when it's no longer bright, the screen stays bright. It does not go down to the previous brightness level. Hope [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] can help.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] andresee:
Had to re flash all to get HBM back. I did a flash-all to update but the file was missing. YMMV.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
It's SELinux rules. As soon as this is using AK2 method everything will be fine.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] airmaxx23:
Is it possible to just place the file where it belongs to get HBM working again?

I got it working again by just flashing the NMF26O boot.img then fc-r6.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mrbobrowitz:
Hey everyone, I searched this thread but couldnt find anything. Does anyone have an accurate RGB adjustments for this screen?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Nope.

Good question. I don't think I've seen any profile for that. Hopefully someone with try to calibrate it with proper hardware and share a profile with us.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mrbobrowitz:
Hey franco, since your on here. For what its worth, I have the VZW version (unlocked blah blah). Ive noticed that with this kernel, along with twrp and root installed, android pay still appears to think my device is compromised.

It could be my misunderstanding of how the pixel knows this, but I thought this patched safety net, did I do something out of order or is it due to TWRP/BL unlock that is causing this. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] zanoli99:
delete
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Only if you're not rooted
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] c7j8d9:
Only if your bootloader is locked. Unlocked bootloaders trip Android Pay now even if stock and unrooted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DaveHTC200:
Yeah but this kernel will bypass the bootloader check, however it won't work if rooted
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mrbobrowitz:
So it seems that root is the culprit here. Thanks to the both of you!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] elitewarrior:
While I don't have the proper hardware, I have played around with it a LOT. I can't find a setting which works across all brightness levels. I use adaptive brightness set to ~50% almost exclusively and find that 240:220:256 in sRGB mode works really well for me. This has a SLIGHT blue tint at my brightness levels. You can try adjusting Red between 240 and 250 BUT then you will find a red tint at lower brightness levels :(. The red tint is visible at low brightness even at 240, so its much more noticeable at something like 245+.

Good luck, and do share your settings if you find something you think is more accurate :p.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
I don't know about accurate, but I found that I like 225, 225, 256 at about 80% brightness.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mrbobrowitz:
Am I crazy or do the franco color controls not stick after leaving the app
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Of course they do.

Franco said he will make it available later this week.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] johnandbodhi:
ok..so what does that mean??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:
Means it's about 10000 points higher in the benchmark than the stock kernel, plus I got 2.5 hrs sot with 69% remaining so better battery life also. YMMV
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Battery life is pretty good yeah, lots of users been sending me shots with pre-FK post-FK and it's a noticeable improvement.

I will try your kernel soon:svetius:
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trace1er:
Has charging time been improved vs the stock kernel? Usually it takes 2+ hours to fully charge my phone, but that charge time has been cut in half it seems after flashing this kernel, which seems kind of extreme...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] siddhesh.raikar:
That charge time estimate is based on the the past few percentage points of the battery being charged..

The battery charges pretty quickly right up to 80% or so and then slows down.. try to charge the battery completely and measure the time..

The kernel is great but I don't think it affects the charging in any way..
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Hmm that seems a bit extreme. I do have a bazillion patches to reduce idle power consumption, but I'll also claim that 7.1.1 December release has at least 2 patches that significantly reduce power comsumption during idle/screen off, so that might be helping. That said, I still think that's a big ass difference and I don't think it's 100% related to a custom Kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] trace1er:
Yea that estimated time from my screenshot ended up not being accurate i think. However, the phone did seem to charge faster than it did previously. Might have more to do with the new kernel from 7.1.1 rather than your custom kernel. Thanks all
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] apogee82:
Hi Francisco! Night Light is the culprit that is resetting custom color controls. I tired it just now, cycling Night Light on and off; color controls are reset. Every morning I have to go into the updater and apply my color settings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spencer92a:
Try to use "Night shift" in the settings of fk updater or the quick tile. then the colorsettings will stick.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Hmm. What settings do you change? I wanna try and reproduce.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Semtronix:
I like r6
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gverma1:
Hey Franco.. any chance of sweep to sleep functionality, a-la EX kernel? This does not drain battery as sweep to wake. This is the only thing missing in your kernel now that Google has introduced s2w and dt2w. Pl give it a thought.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] franciscofranco:
Don't count on it, sorry.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dems86:
Anyone update to TWRP RC1 with r6 installed? Will flashing to RC1 and then SuperSU SR5 in alpha2 break franco r6? I'm seeing people on Elemental having to flash the kernel again afterwards, still haven't fully acclimated to the new Pixel way of things lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ridobe:
All I did was flash RC1 then SR5 and reboot. Franco still in tact.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dems86:
Awesome, thanks, gonna hop to it then, much appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Golf c:
Nope, flashed TWRP rc1 and supersu and Franco still there. Elemental is packaged and flashed differently then Franco.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dems86:
Thanks guys, worked a treat ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kirschdog1:
Sorry if this has been asked before but recovery flashable version or is this flashable through twrp somehow?

Love your work Franco and appreciate it but just not always around a computer for adb.

Not yet. Franco said it was "coming soon™".

After updating to 26Q on the PXL and flashing FK-6, SU-sr5, etc, FKU won't show CPU, Kernel or Performance settings and display is borked. Tried uninstalling-reinstalling, no go. Ideas or does FKU need to be updated due to the new patches?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Nocturnal86:
Does the kernel need to be updated to be used on latest 7.1.1 NMF26Q update that was released today?

Works fine for me.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mtw4991:

Edit: reflashed FK-r6, working fine now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] fatapia:
v6 can only be used with 7.1.1, the previous versions can only be used with 7.1.

There was a post a couple of pages back saying some things changed underneath that don't allow these kernels to be installed on the different Android versions.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jrtomsic:
v6 came out with NMF26O, Nocturnal is asking about Q. I believe there has been a report that the kernel will work, but some of the settings in the FKU app won't work.
