[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Freak07:
Hey guys and girls,

So straight to Topic.

The Kirisakura-Harmony is based on the latest google sources. On top of it are the latest EAS patches directly from Linaro. It also includes a few Audio Patches from CAF. Power Gating is disabled so you can use this kernel with [MENTION=2760454]chdloc[/MENTION] ´s excellent, I am wholeheartedly recommending it, biquads mod. If you grasp what you can do with it, you will never need an equalizer in your life again. So this is also an audio oriented kernel.

As I said I am still learning. The Feature list Comes here:

- Based on the latest Sources from Google for Android Q/10

- Upstreamed to 3.18.140

- Schedutil included again

- GPU Adrenoboost

- Wake gestures from flar2

- KCAL from savoca and ported by tbalden

- HBM enabled and accessible for the user

- Backlight dimmer is added

- FIOPS, SIO and MAPLE I/O Scheduler included

- Updated BFQ I/O Scheduler

- I managed to merge some Audio Patches from CAF, which should enhance Audio

- Power Gating disabled so you can use [MENTION=2760454]chdloc[/MENTION] ´s biquad mod

- Vibration Control

- Sound Control

- sdcardfs

- Sched and latest Schedutil (with latest upstream patches is also default)

- Updated EAS Machinery

- USB fast charge

Instructions for Android P

How to flash the Kernel:

1. Download the kernel.zip to your device

1a. Optional: While it may not be necessary all times, you may want to restore stock boot.img, re-root with magisk and optionally install twrp.zip if coming from another kernel. Before reporting issues make sure you do that! Thank you!

You only need to do either 2a OR 2b

2a. Boot to TWRP and flash my kernel.zip. Root will be preserved!

or

2b. Flash kernel zip in EX Kernel Manager or FKM app. Root will be preserved!

3. After booting up make sure to set schedutil as default CPU governor (check apply on reboot option) to fully profit from the kernel´s changes!

4. Enjoy your device now!

FAQ:

Q: Which app do you recommend to apply changes to the kernel?

A: EX Kernel Manager from [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is a great choice. He is constantly updating it.

Q: Which CPU governor I can choose freely and not hinder the EAS?

A: schedutil

Q: what is GPU boost and how should I choose the boost level?

A: I also implemented GPU Boost.

if you use the default GPU governor which is msm-adreno-tz you will have the option of GPU boost in EXKM. if you choose simple_ondemand not.

I think GPU Boost is not really needed on this phone as it raises GPU freqs aggressively enough for most tasks. So I leave it disabled at default.

It was originally introduced on the HTC 10, to counter an issue whereby the GPU failed to scale up aggressively enough, to run some not demanding games properly in 60fps locked. But there are some performance junkies (like me) who want to try such things.

So you can enable this setting and it has 3 profiles. Low, medium and high. It defines how aggressively the GPU gets scaled up.

I found GPU boost on low to be quite a good all day setting. Maybe a little bit more performance and not a too big hit on battery.

Medium and High are definitely more battery hungry and you should do this only for gaming or benchmarks.

Q: What is the difference of WALT and PELT and how does it affect me?
